Description

Banknote processing apparatus and banknote processing system

The present invention relates to a banknote processing apparatus and a banknote processing system.

Banks and other financial institutions use banknote processing devices that bundle and organize banknotes at regular intervals. In this banknote processing apparatus, for example, when banknotes of a plurality of denominations are inserted in a correct / incorrect state, these banknotes are taken and identified one by one, classified according to denomination and correctness, and corresponding accumulations. It is accumulated in the part. And when the banknote in a stacking part reaches a fixed number (for example, 100 sheets), this banknote bundle is conveyed by a bundle conveyance part to a binding means, bundled with binding materials, such as a paper tape, and thrown out. The fractional banknotes that do not reach a certain number in the stacking unit can be transported and returned to the fractional banknote return port by the bundle transporting unit, or left in the stacking unit (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

It is desired that a plurality of operators use such a banknote handling apparatus as a deposit machine at a bank window. For example, after the operator A inserts banknotes, sorts and bundles banknotes, the fractional banknotes are left in the stacking unit. Thereafter, when another operator B inserts the banknote, the banknote of the operator A left in the stacking unit and the banknote inserted by the operator B are mixed. Further, when the banknotes in the stacking unit reach a certain number, they are bound by the binding means, but the banknotes of operator A and the banknotes of operator B are mixed in the bundled banknote bundle. In this way, when a plurality of operators use the banknote handling apparatus, there is a problem that it becomes unclear which operator has management responsibility for the banknotes in the stacking unit and the banknotes that are bundled.

Although the banknotes are not left in the stacking unit and the banknotes are returned every time the banknotes are processed, the above-mentioned problems can be avoided, but this has caused a reduction in the efficiency of banknote processing.

It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the banknote processing apparatus which concerns on 1st Embodiment. It is a figure which shows an example of a banknote process. It is a figure which shows an example of a banknote process. It is a block block diagram of the banknote processing system which concerns on 5th Embodiment. It is a block block diagram of the banknote processing system by the modification of 5th Embodiment.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(First Embodiment) FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a banknote handling system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the banknote processing system is connected to a banknote processing apparatus 10 that identifies and counts banknotes and binds banknotes every predetermined number, and is communicably connected to the banknote processing apparatus 10. And a management unit (management device) 20 for managing the stocks of a plurality of operators to be used. Here, the amount of money of the operator means the total of banknotes that should be in the hands of each operator or banknotes for which each operator has management responsibility.

FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view schematically showing the internal configuration of the banknote handling apparatus 10. The banknote processing apparatus 10 has an operation display unit 11 at the top, and mainly includes a classification stacking unit 100 at the upper front, a banknote binding unit 200 at the lower front, and a transport unit 300 at the back. Moreover, the banknote processing apparatus 10 includes a control unit 12 that controls the sorting and accumulating unit 100, the banknote binding unit 200, and the transport unit 300.

First, the classification accumulation unit 100 will be described. A receiving unit 101 for receiving banknotes to be processed is provided at a substantially central portion of the front surface of the classification and stacking unit 100. A banknote mixed with denominations fed therein is fed out by

feeding rollers

102 and 103, and is conveyed by a transporting unit 104. Be transported.

The transport unit 104 is provided with an identification unit 105, which identifies the type of money, damage, front and back, and authenticity. Further, the identification unit 105 counts the number of sheets for each type, and the count result is displayed on the operation display unit 11. The conveyance unit 104 branches off from the identification unit 105, and an unidentifiable ticket, a fake ticket, or the like is accumulated in the reject unit 106 as a reject banknote according to the identification result by the identification unit 105.

On the other hand, the banknotes to be bound other than rejected banknotes are reversed so that the front and back sides of all banknotes coincide with each other in the front / back reversing unit 107 in accordance with the front / back judgment result by the discriminating unit 105, and further judged by the discriminating unit 105. Based on the denomination or the like, the banknotes are stacked in any of the stacking units (first stacking units) 111 to 115 that stack banknotes to be bound.

The accumulating sections 111 to 115 have accumulating stages 111a to 115a, respectively, which can be moved up and down by driving means (not shown).

In FIG. 2, each of the stacking units 111 to 115 is illustrated as being stackable. That is, since the stages 111a to 115a are positioned at the lower end positions of the wall members 111b to 115b provided about 2/3 on the upper side, the conveyed banknotes hit the wall members 111b to 115b and stop and accumulate. At this time, in order to prevent banknotes from popping out and enable stable stacking, pressers 111c to 115c that are rotatable according to the stacking amount are provided.

It should be noted that the stages 111a to 115a and the wall members 111b to 115b are formed with notches through which hands 313 and 314 of the transfer unit 300 described later can freely pass.

Banknotes that are not to be stacked are transported to the external stackers (second stacking units) 121 and 122 by the transport unit 104 and stacked.

Various targets can be set for the stacking units 111 to 115 and the

external stackers

121 and 122, and various processes can be performed. The setting contents can be input via the operation display unit (input unit) 11. Moreover, when using the banknote processing apparatus 10, registration of an operator to be used is required, and operator ID information can be input via the operation display unit 11. ID information can be input by inputting a numeric keypad or reading card information. The input ID information is valid until the end of processing is input or until another operator ID information is input.

Below the operation display unit 11 is provided a fractional banknote return unit 130 that can return fractional banknotes that have not reached the number of bundles among the banknotes accumulated in the stacking units 111 to 115. The fractional banknotes are conveyed to the return tray 131 of the fractional banknote return unit 130 by the conveyance unit 300 described later. When the front end 132a of the abutting member 132 provided on the lower surface of the return tray 131 is pushed from the back, the return tray 131 moves forward, the shutter 133 provided on the front opens, and the return tray 131 is indicated by a one-dot chain line. By proceeding to the set position, the fractional banknotes in the return tray 131 can be taken out.

Whether the fractional banknotes accumulated in the stacking units 111 to 115 are returned from the fractional banknote return unit 130 or left is determined by the setting of the banknote processing mode via the operation display unit 11. The bill processing mode will be described later.

Subsequently, the banknote binding unit 200 will be described. In the banknote binding unit 200, a band of paper is wound around the stacked banknotes, and banding is performed.

When the banknotes stacked in the stacking units 111 to 115 reach a predetermined number, they are transported to the set unit 201 of the banknote binding unit 200 by the transporting unit 300 described later and held between them.

A rotation mechanism 202 for winding the banding tape around a predetermined portion of the sandwiched bill is provided, and the leading end of the banding tape 204 taken out from the banding tape stacking unit 203 is stopped by the tape stopper 205 and is bound by rotating. It is supposed to get banknotes.

Also, after binding, a cutter 206 for cutting the tip of the tape and a heater 207 for thermally bonding the tip are provided.

The bundled bundled banknotes are thrown out to the bundled banknote outlet 209 by the belt-type transport mechanism 208. In the middle of the transport, the bank name stamp unit 210 for stamping the processed financial institution stamp on the bandwrap is used. There is provided a non-payment stamp portion 211 for stamping a certain thing on the wrapping. The feeding part of the banding tape 204 is provided with a printing part 212 for printing the processing date, processing time, machine number, ID information of the person in charge.

Subsequently, the conveyance unit 300 will be described. The conveyance unit 300 includes a guide shaft 301 installed vertically, an elevating unit 310 that can move up and down while engaging with the guide shaft 301, and a drive belt 302 for elevating the elevating unit 310.

The elevating unit 310 has a block 312 that can be moved forward and backward by a belt mechanism 311. The block 312 has a fixed lower hand 313 and an upper hand 314 that moves up and down along a shaft 315 by a belt 316. is doing. The

hands

313 and 314 are taken out with the banknotes stacked in the stacking units 111 to 115 being sandwiched, and the taken out banknotes are conveyed to the banknote binding unit 200 or the fractional banknote return unit 130.

The control unit 12 controls the conveyance unit 104 and the conveyance unit 300 according to the identification count result by the identification unit 105, the number of banknotes accumulated in the accumulation units 111 to 115, the setting of the banknote processing mode, and the like. Moreover, the control part 12 transmits the identification count result of the inserted banknote and the operator's ID information input via the operation display part 11 to the management part 20 via a communication part (not shown).

In addition, the control unit 12 counts the inserted banknotes, the banknotes stacked in the stacking units 111 to 115, the banknotes stacked in the stacking units 111 to 115 and then bundled in the banknote binding unit 200, and the stacking unit 111. To 115, the bills returned from the fractional bill return unit 130, the banknotes collected in the

external stackers

121 and 122, and the like, and the count result of each classification is sent to the management unit via a communication unit (not shown). 20 can be transmitted.

The management unit 20 uses the operator ID information and the count result notified from the banknote processing apparatus 10 to update and manage the amount of each operator.

Next, three bill processing modes that can be set in the bill processing apparatus 10 will be described. In the banknote handling apparatus 10, three banknote handling modes of “counting mode”, “banding / returning mode”, and “banding / remaining mode” can be set.

First, the “counting mode” will be described. In the counting mode, all bills inserted into the bill processing apparatus 10 are conveyed to the

external stackers

121 and 122 and accumulated. That is, in the counting mode, the bundling function of the banknote handling apparatus 10 is not used, and only banknote counting is performed. Classification and accumulation using the two

external stackers

121 and 122 may be further performed. The reject banknotes are accumulated in the reject unit 106. The same applies to the “bundling / returning mode” and “bundling / remaining mode”.

Next, “Bandlet / Return Mode” will be described. In the banding / returning mode, among the banknotes inserted into the banknote handling apparatus 10, the banknotes to be bound are transported to the stacking units 111 to 115, and the banknotes not to be bound are transported to the

external stackers

121 and 122. When the number of stacked sheets of the stacking units 111 to 115 reaches a predetermined number, a predetermined number of banknotes are transported to the banknote binding unit 200 by the transport unit 300, and are bound and thrown out. After all the bills inserted into the receiving unit 101 are taken in, the fractional bills that have not reached the predetermined number in the stacking units 111 to 115 are transported by the transporting unit 300 to the fractional bill return unit 130 and returned. In this way, in the banding / return mode, the bills are bundled and returned without leaving any fractional bills.

Next, the “Band-wrapping / Leaving mode” will be described. In the banding / remaining mode, among the banknotes inserted into the banknote handling apparatus 10, the banknotes to be bound are transported to the stacking units 111 to 115, and the banknotes not to be bound are transported to the

external stackers

121 and 122. When the number of stacked sheets of the stacking units 111 to 115 reaches a predetermined number, a predetermined number of banknotes are transported to the banknote binding unit 200 by the transport unit 300, and are bound and thrown out. After all the banknotes inserted into the receiving unit 101 are taken in, the fractional banknotes that have not reached the predetermined number in the stacking units 111 to 115 are left in the stacking units 111 to 115. In this way, in the banding / remaining mode, the bills are bound without being returned while being bundled.

In this embodiment, it is possible to set for each operator whether or not the “counting mode”, “banding / returning mode”, and “banding / remaining mode” can be used. In other words, the banknote processing modes that can be used for each operator can be restricted.

For example, when an operator A (first operator) who is a general teller and an operator B (second operator) who has a depositing / dispensing authority share the banknote processing apparatus 10, the banknote processing mode is as shown in pattern 1 shown in Table 1. You can set availability. In Table 1, ○ indicates that it can be used and × indicates that it cannot be used.

In Pattern 1, Operator A can use only the counting mode, and the use of the mode with banding is prohibited. When the identification information of the operator input to the input unit (operation display unit 11) indicates the operator A (first operator) who is a general teller, the control unit 12 collects the banknotes that have been taken in (stacking unit (first stacking unit)). ) Prohibit conveyance to 111-115. And the control part 12 controls the conveyance part 104 so that a banknote may be conveyed to the external stackers (2nd stacking parts) 121 and 122 or the rejection part 106 by the identification result of a banknote. On the other hand, the operator B can use all of the counting mode, the bundling / returning mode, and the bundling / remaining mode. When the identification information of the operator input to the input unit (operation display unit 11) indicates the operator B (second operator) who has the authority to put in and out, the control unit 12 collects the collected banknotes (the first stacking unit). ) Allow transportation to 111-115. Then, the control unit 12 conveys the banknotes to one of the stacking units (first stacking units) 111 to 115, the external stackers (second stacking units) 121 and 122, and the reject unit 106 based on the banknote identification result. The unit 104 is controlled.

Operator A performs banknote processing in the counting mode after inputting his / her ID information. The operator A manages the banknotes conveyed to the

external stackers

121 and 122 or the reject unit 106 at hand. The control unit 12 transmits the count result of the inserted bills and the ID information of the operator A to the management unit 20. The management unit 20 adds the counting result received from the banknote handling apparatus 10 to the amount of the operator A.

Operator B performs banknote processing in any of the counting mode, the banding / returning mode, and the banding / remaining mode after inputting his / her ID information. The control unit 12 transmits the count result of the inserted bills and the ID information of the operator B to the management unit 20. The management unit 20 adds the counting result received from the banknote handling apparatus 10 to the operating balance of the operator B.

In pattern 1, since operator A can only use the counting mode, even if operator B performs banknote processing in the banding / remaining mode and leaves fractional banknotes in stacking units 111-115, The bills inserted by the operator B are not mixed in the stacking units 111-115. Therefore, the management responsibility of banknotes can be clarified.

Table 2 shows another pattern of availability setting in the banknote processing mode in the case where the operator A who is a general teller and the operator B who has a depositing / dispensing authority share the banknote processing apparatus 10.

In Pattern 2, the banknote processing mode that can be used by the operator A differs depending on whether or not fractional banknotes remain in the machine (in the stacking units 111 to 115). When there are no fractional bills remaining in the machine, the operator A can use the counting mode or the banding / returning mode. The control unit 12 is an operator A (first operator) whose operator identification information input to the input unit (operation display unit 11) is a general teller, and is placed before the stacking units (first stacking units) 111 to 115. If the user's fractional banknotes do not remain, the taken banknotes are allowed to be conveyed to the stacking units (first stacking units) 111-115. Then, the control unit 12 conveys the banknotes to one of the stacking units (first stacking units) 111 to 115, the external stackers (second stacking units) 121 and 122, and the reject unit 106 based on the banknote identification result. The unit 104 is controlled. Further, when the processing by the operator A is completed, the control unit 12 executes a fractional banknote removal process when there are fractional banknotes in the stacking units (first stacking units) 111 to 115. The control unit 12 controls the transport unit 300 to transport the fractional banknotes of the stacking units (first stacking units) 111 to 115 to the fractional banknote return unit 130 as the fractional banknote removal process. On the other hand, when fractional bills remain in the machine, the operator A can use only the counting mode. In this case, the control of the transport unit 104 by the control unit 12 is the same as that of the pattern 1.

Operator B can use all of the counting mode, the bundling / returning mode, and the bundling / remaining mode regardless of whether or not fractional bills remain in the machine. In this case, the control of the transport unit 104 by the control unit 12 is the same as that of the pattern 1.

That is, the operator A can perform the banknote processing in the banding / returning mode when the fractional banknotes inserted by other operators including the operator B are not left in the stacking units 111 to 115, but is not banded. It is not possible to leave the bills in the machine and finish the process.

When the operator A performs banknote processing in the counting mode, the operator A manages the banknotes conveyed to the

external stackers

121 and 122 at hand. The control unit 12 transmits the count result of the inserted bills and the ID information of the operator A to the management unit 20. The management unit 20 adds the counting result received from the banknote handling apparatus 10 to the amount of the operator A.

When the operator A performs banknote processing in the banding / return mode, the banknotes conveyed to the

external stackers

121 and 122 and the banknotes returned from the fractional banknote return unit 130 are managed by the operator A. On the other hand, the banknotes bound by the banknote binding unit 200 may be managed by the operator A or may be managed by the operator B having a depositing / dispensing authority.

When the operator A manages the bundled banknotes, the control unit 12 transmits the counting result of the inserted banknotes and the ID information of the operator A to the management unit 20, and the management unit 20 receives from the banknote processing device 10. The counted result is added to the balance of the operator A.

When the operator B manages the bundled banknotes, the control unit 12 counts the banknotes returned from the fractional banknote return unit 130 after being stacked in the stacking units 111 to 115 and the counting results of the banknotes stacked in the

external stackers

121 and 122. The total is linked to the ID information of the operator A and transmitted to the management unit 20, and the counting result of the banknotes bundled in the banknote binding unit 200 after being accumulated in the stacking units 111 to 115 is linked to the ID information of the operator B. Transmit to the management unit 20. The management unit 20 adds the counting result associated with the ID information of the operator A to the operating amount of the operator A, and adds the counting result associated with the ID information of the operator B to the operating amount of the operator B.

In Pattern 2, when fractional banknotes of other operators including operator B remain in the machine, operator A can use only the counting mode, and the banknotes inserted by operator A are not conveyed to stacking units 111-115. Therefore, even if another operator processes the banknotes in the banding / remaining mode and leaves fractional banknotes in the stacking units 111-115, the banknotes inserted by the operator A and the banknotes inserted by other operators are stacked in the stacking units 111-115. No mixing within. Therefore, the management responsibility of banknotes can be clarified. In addition, among the banknotes inserted by the operator A, when the operator B who has the authority to put in and out manages the banknotes that are bundled, it can be added to the amount of the operator B. The amount of money managed by the management unit 20 can be matched.

Table 3 shows still another pattern of the availability setting in the banknote processing mode when the operator A who is a general teller and the operator B with the depositing / dispensing authority share the banknote processing apparatus 10.

In pattern 3, the banknote handling modes that can be used by operators A and B differ depending on whether or not another person's fractional banknotes remain in the machine (in the stacking units 111 to 115). When operator A has no remaining bills of other operators including operator B in the machine, in other words, when no bills remain in the machine, or when operator A's own fractional banknotes remain, All of the counting mode, the bundling / returning mode, and the bundling / remaining mode can be used. At this time, the control unit 12 permits the taken banknotes to be conveyed to the stacking units (first stacking units) 111 to 115. Then, the control unit 12 conveys the banknotes to one of the stacking units (first stacking units) 111 to 115, the external stackers (second stacking units) 121 and 122, and the reject unit 106 based on the banknote identification result. The unit 104 is controlled. Further, the operator A can use only the counting mode when the remaining bills of other operators remain in the machine. In this case, the control of the transport unit 104 by the control unit 12 is the same as that of the pattern 1.

Similarly, when the operator B has no remaining bills of other operators including the operator A in the machine, in other words, there are no bills left in the machine, or the operator B's own bills remain. In this case, all of the counting mode, the bundling / returning mode, and the bundling / remaining mode can be used. Operator B can use only the counting mode when other operator's fractional banknotes remain in the machine. The control of the transport unit 104 by the control unit 12 in this case is the same as the control for the operator A of the pattern 3.

When the operator A performs banknote processing in the counting mode, the banding / returning mode, or the banding / remaining mode, the control unit 12 transmits the counting result of the inserted banknotes and the ID information of the operator A to the management unit 20. To do. The management unit 20 adds the counting result received from the banknote handling apparatus 10 to the amount of the operator A. The operator A himself manages the banknotes conveyed to the

external stackers

121 and 122, the banknotes bundled and thrown out by the banknote binding unit 200, and the banknotes returned from the fractional banknote return unit 130.

When the operator B performs banknote processing in the counting mode, the bundling / returning mode, or the bundling / remaining mode, the control unit 12 transmits the counting result of the inserted banknotes and the ID information of the operator B to the management unit 20. To do. The management unit 20 adds the counting result received from the banknote handling apparatus 10 to the operating balance of the operator B. The operator B itself manages the banknotes conveyed to the

external stackers

In Pattern 3, when other person's fractional banknotes remain in the machine (in the stacking units 111 to 115), the banding / returning mode and the banding / leaving mode cannot be used. Therefore, the fraction banknotes of other people left in the stacking units 111 to 115 and the inserted bills are not mixed in the stacking units 111 to 115. Therefore, the management responsibility of banknotes can be clarified.

Table 4 shows still another pattern of the availability setting in the banknote processing mode when the operator A who is a general teller and the operator B with the depositing / dispensing authority share the banknote processing apparatus 10.

In Pattern 4, both the operators A and B can use the counting mode and the bundling / returning mode, and cannot use the bundling / remaining mode. The control unit 12 collects the taken banknotes regardless of whether the operator identification information input to the input unit (operation display unit 11) or the fractional banknotes of the stacking units (first stacking units) 111 to 115 remains. Parts (first stacking units) 111 to 115 are allowed to be conveyed. Then, the control unit 12 conveys the banknotes to one of the stacking units (first stacking units) 111 to 115, the external stackers (second stacking units) 121 and 122, and the reject unit 106 based on the banknote identification result. The unit 104 is controlled. Further, when the stacking unit (first stacking unit) 111 to 115 has a fractional banknote at the end of the current process, the control unit 12 executes a fractional banknote removal process. The control unit 12 controls the transport unit 300 to transport the fractional banknotes of the stacking units (first stacking units) 111 to 115 to the fractional banknote return unit 130 as the fractional banknote removal process.

When the operator A performs banknote processing in the counting mode or the bundling / returning mode, the control unit 12 transmits the counting result of the inserted banknotes and the ID information of the operator A to the management unit 20. The management unit 20 adds the counting result received from the banknote handling apparatus 10 to the amount of the operator A. The operator A himself manages the banknotes conveyed to the

external stackers

When the operator B performs banknote processing in the counting mode or the banding / returning mode, the control unit 12 transmits the counting result of the inserted banknotes and the ID information of the operator B to the management unit 20. The management unit 20 adds the counting result received from the banknote handling apparatus 10 to the operating balance of the operator B. The banknotes conveyed to the

external stackers

121 and 122, the banknotes bundled and thrown out by the banknote binding section 200, and the banknotes returned from the fractional banknote return section 130 are managed by the operator B itself.

In Pattern 4, since bill processing is not performed in the banding / remaining mode, fractional bills do not remain in the machine (in the stacking units 111 to 115). Therefore, bills inserted by other operators and their own bills are not mixed in the stacking units 111-115. Therefore, the management responsibility of banknotes can be clarified.

The mode setting of the above-described patterns 1 to 4 is prepared in the banknote processing apparatus 10 in advance, and the user of the banknote processing apparatus 10 can select a pattern according to the situation. In addition, it is possible to register information on an operator A who is a general teller and an operator B who has an account authority. For example, if the operator A inputs his / her ID information while the banknote handling apparatus 10 is operated in the pattern 1, only the counting mode can be used. Further, for example, when the operator B inputs his / her ID information while the banknote handling apparatus 10 is operated in the pattern 4, only the counting mode and the banding / returning mode can be used.

In the above-described patterns 1 to 4, since it is possible to prevent the inserted banknotes of each operator from being mixed in the machine, the responsibility for managing the processed banknotes can be clarified. Moreover, in the pattern 4, each operator can perform the binding process of a banknote. In pattern 3, one operator can perform banknote processing while leaving fractional banknotes in the machine, so that banknote processing can be performed more efficiently than pattern 4. In Patterns 1 and 2, since the operator B who has the authority to deposit and leave can perform bill processing while leaving fractional bills in the machine, bill processing can be performed more efficiently than Pattern 4.

Thus, according to this embodiment, when using the banknote handling apparatus 10 by a plurality of operators, the responsibility for managing the processed banknotes can be clarified and banknote processing can be performed efficiently.

(Second Embodiment) In the first embodiment, the banknote processing modes that the operators A and B can use are limited based on conditions such as whether or not fractional banknotes are left behind. , B uses the banding / remaining mode regardless of whether or not there are fractional banknotes, thereby eliminating the need to return the fractional banknotes and further improving the efficiency of banknote processing.

However, in this case, the remaining bills of the operator A (or B) and the inserted bills of the operator B (or A) are mixed in the stacking units 111 to 115. As a result, when the operator A or B manages the bundled banknotes when the operator A or B manages the bundled banknotes at the same time, the operator A or B manages the bundled banknotes. It becomes difficult to match the bank balance with the amount of banknotes for which operators A and B are responsible for management.

In the present embodiment, when such banknote management is performed, the amount of money of the operators A and B managed by the management unit 20 and the amount of banknotes for which the operators A and B are responsible for management are made to coincide. is there.

The following describes an example of the cash management method. Here, the amount management method when the 1st banknote process shown in FIG. 3 and the 2nd banknote process shown in FIG. 4 are performed continuously is demonstrated.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the first banknote processing, the operator A inserts a banknote for 150 dollars in a state where no fractional banknote is left in the machine. Then, 10 dollar bills are transported to the

external stackers

121 and 122, 100 dollar bills are bundled and thrown out by the

bill binding unit

200, and 40 dollar bills are used as fractional bills in the machine (stacking unit 111˜). 115). The operator A manages the 10 dollar bills transported to the

external stackers

121 and 122 and the 100 dollar bills that have been thrown out.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, in the second banknote processing, the operator B inserts a banknote for 80 dollars. Then, 20 dollar bills are conveyed to the

external stackers

121 and 122, and 60 dollar bills and the 40 dollar bills of the operator A left in the machine are mixed and bound by the bill binding unit 200. , Thrown out as a bundle of 100 dollars. The operator B manages the bill bundle of $ 20 transported to the

external stackers

121 and 122 and the thrown bill of $ 100.

After the first banknote processing, the banknote handling apparatus 10 counts the banknotes input to the operator A ($ 150), counts the banknotes conveyed to the external stackers 121 and 122 ($ 10), and the banknote binding unit 200. The management unit 20 is notified of the counting result (100 dollars) of the banknotes bundled together in (1) and the counting result (40 dollars) of the fractional banknotes left in the machine. Here, the counting result may be a monetary amount, a denomination number, or an amount and denomination number. The management unit 20 adds $ 150 to the amount of the operator A based on the counting result received from the banknote processing apparatus 10.

After the second bill processing, the bill processing apparatus 10 counts the bills inserted into the operator B ($ 80), counts the bills conveyed to the external stackers 121 and 122 ($ 20), and the bill binding unit 200. The management unit 20 is notified of the counting result ($ 100) of the banknotes bundled together in (1) and the counting result (0 dollars) of the fractional banknotes left in the machine. The management unit 20 receives the counting result from the banknote processing device 10, and based on the counting result of the banknotes conveyed to the

external stackers

121 and 122 and the counting result of the banknotes bundled by the banknote binding unit 200, Add $ 120 to the high. Furthermore, the management unit 20 subtracts $ 40 from the amount of the operator A. The 40 dollars corresponds to the inserted banknote of the operator A included in the bundled banknotes thrown out by the second banknote processing and managed by the operator B. The management unit 20 subtracts $ 40 subtracted from the amount of the operator A, the counting result of banknotes thrown into the operator B ($ 80), the counting result of fractional banknotes left in the machine ($ 0), and an external stacker. It can be obtained from the difference between the counting result ($ 20) of the banknotes conveyed to 121 and 122 and the counting result ($ 100) of the banknotes bound by the banknote binding unit 200.

As described above, the management unit 20 manages the stocks of a plurality of operators, and counts the banknotes stacked in the stacking units (first stacking units) 111 to 115 and the external stackers (second stacking units) 121 and 122. Is used to update the operator's stock. Furthermore, when the operator identification information input to the input unit (operation display unit 11) indicates the operator A (first operator), the management unit 20 includes the stacking units (first stacking units) 111 to 115 and the external stacker ( Among the banknotes accumulated in (second stacking unit) 121 and 122, the counting result of banknotes satisfying a predetermined condition is added to the stock of operator B (second operator), and the counting result of banknotes not satisfying the predetermined condition is added to the operator. It is added to the stock of A (first operator). Here, the banknote which satisfy | fills a predetermined condition can be made into the banknote bound by the binding part 200 among the banknotes integrated | stacked on the 1st stacking part. Specifically, when the fraction banknote left by one operator (for example, operator A) is bundled and thrown out by the banknote processing of the other operator (for example, operator B), the amount of the bundled banknote (or (The number of money types) is added to the balance of the other operator (operator B), and the amount of fractional banknotes (or the number of money types) contained in the bundled bill is subtracted from the balance of one operator (operator A). Thereby, the amount of money of the operators A and B managed by the management unit 20 can be matched with the amount of banknotes managed by the operators A and B.

Thus, according to this embodiment, when using the banknote processing apparatus 10 by a plurality of operators, the stocks of the operators A and B managed by the management unit 20 and the money amount of the banknotes managed by the operators A and B are used. The banknote management responsibility is clarified, and the operators A and B use the banding / remaining mode, so that the banknote processing can be efficiently performed without returning the fractional banknotes.

(Third Embodiment) In the second embodiment, the fraction banknote left by the operator A in the machine is added to the amount of the operator A, and the fraction banknote is bundled and thrown out by the banknote processing of the operator B. In this case, the amount (or the number of denominations) of the fractional banknotes included in the bundled banknotes is subtracted from the balance of the operator A. On the other hand, in this embodiment, all the fractional banknotes left in the machine are added to the balance of the operator B. The operator B is an operator with a depositing / dispensing authority, and has an authority to open the door of the banknote processing apparatus 10 and access the banknotes in the stacking units 111 to 115, for example, when the banknote processing apparatus 10 is stopped due to an error. Therefore, it is preferable to add the fractional banknotes left in the machine to the balance of the operator B having the deposit and withdrawal authority.

The amount management method according to the present embodiment in the case where the first banknote processing shown in FIG. 3 and the second banknote processing shown in FIG. 4 are continuously performed will be described.

After the first banknote processing, the banknote handling apparatus 10 counts the banknotes input to the operator A ($ 150), counts the banknotes conveyed to the external stackers 121 and 122 ($ 10), and the banknote binding unit 200. The management unit 20 is notified of the counting result (100 dollars) of the banknotes bundled together in (1) and the counting result (40 dollars) of the fractional banknotes left in the machine. Based on the counting result received from the banknote processing apparatus 10, the management unit 20 adds $ 110 to the amount of the operator A and adds $ 40 to the amount of the operator B.

Subsequently, after the second bill processing, the bill processing apparatus 10 counts the bills inserted into the operator B ($ 80), counts the bills conveyed to the external stackers 121 and 122 ($ 20), and the bills. The management unit 20 is notified of the counting result ($ 100) of the banknotes bound by the binding unit 200 and the counting result ($ 0) of the fractional banknotes left in the machine. The management unit 20 receives the counting result from the banknote handling apparatus 10 and adds 80 dollars to the amount of the operator B. The banknotes managed by the operator B increase by 120 dollars, and 40 dollars of this is already added to the amount of the operator B after the first banknote processing. As described above, the management unit 20 does not bind the banknotes stacked in the stacking units (first stacking units) 111 to 115 by the binding unit 200, and remains in the stacking units (first stacking units) 111 to 115. The result of counting the banknotes being added is added to the stock of operator B (second operator).

When the second banknote processing is also performed by the operator A, after the second banknote processing, the management unit 20 receives the counting result from the banknote processing apparatus 10 and adds 120 dollars to the amount of the operator A. Then, 40 dollars may be subtracted from the amount of the operator B.

(Fourth Embodiment) In the third embodiment, the fractional banknotes left in the machine are added to the balance of the operator B who has the authority to put in and out, but only the fractional banknotes left in the machine. Alternatively, banknotes that are bundled and thrown out may be added to the balance of the operator B.

As shown in FIG. 3, 10 dollar bills are conveyed to the

external stackers

121 and 122 by the first bill processing, 100 dollar bills are bundled and thrown out by the

bill binding unit

200, and 40 dollars are drawn. The bill is left in the machine as a fraction bill. The operator A manages 10 dollars conveyed to the

external stackers

121 and 122 at hand, and the dispensed 100 dollar bill bundle is managed by the operator B.

After the first banknote processing, the banknote handling apparatus 10 counts the banknotes input to the operator A ($ 150), counts the banknotes conveyed to the external stackers 121 and 122 ($ 10), and the banknote binding unit 200. The management unit 20 is notified of the counting result (100 dollars) of the banknotes bundled together in (1) and the counting result (40 dollars) of the fractional banknotes left in the machine. Based on the counting result received from the banknote processing apparatus 10, the management unit 20 adds 10 dollars to the amount of the operator A and 140 dollars to the amount of the operator B.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the operator B inserts a banknote of 80 dollars by the second banknote processing. Then, the bill of 20 dollars is conveyed to the

external stackers

121 and 122, and the bill of 60 dollars inserted by the operator B and the bill of 40 dollars of the operator A left in the machine are combined to form a bill binding unit. Bundled at 200 and thrown out as a bundle of 100 dollars. Operator B manages the $ 20 bill bundle conveyed to

external stackers

121 and 122 and the thrown-out $ 100 bill bundle.

After the second bill processing, the bill processing apparatus 10 counts the bills inserted into the operator B ($ 80), counts the bills conveyed to the external stackers 121 and 122 ($ 20), and the bill binding unit 200. The management unit 20 is notified of the counting result ($ 100) of the banknotes bundled together in (1) and the counting result (0 dollars) of the fractional banknotes left in the machine. The management unit 20 receives the counting result from the banknote handling apparatus 10 and adds 80 dollars to the amount of the operator B. The banknotes managed by the operator B increase by 120 dollars, and 40 dollars of this is already added to the amount of the operator B after the first banknote processing. In this way, the management unit 20 displays the counting result of the banknotes bundled by the bundling unit 200 among the banknotes stacked in the stacking units (first stacking units) 111 to 115, with the balance of the operator B (second operator). To be added.

(Fifth Embodiment) In the third and fourth embodiments, the amount of the operator B is updated with the banknote processing by the operator A. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, an output unit 30 may be provided to notify the operator B that the amount of the operator B has been updated in accordance with the banknote processing by the operator A. The output unit 30 displays, for example, the stock amount update information on the display of a terminal assigned to the operator B. This terminal is an operator terminal that is communicably connected to the banknote handling apparatus 10 and the management unit 20, and the management unit 20 outputs information on banknotes added to the operator B's stock amount as data to the operator B terminal. To do. The output unit 30 may be the operation display unit 11 of the banknote handling apparatus 10. In addition, it can be set as all the aspects which alert | report to the operator B the information of the banknote added to the amount of the operator B, such as information by an audio | voice, light, a character, and an image. The cash balance update information may simply indicate that the cash balance has been updated, or may indicate the cash balance update content (updated amount or number of denominations).

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, an approval receiving unit 40 may be provided that receives an approval for a stock amount update from the second operator. For example, in the said 4th Embodiment, the bundled banknote thrown out with the banknote process by the operator A is added to the amount of money of the operator B.
