Description
本発明は、貨幣処理装置および出金方法に関する。
The present invention relates to a money processing device and a withdrawal method.
特許文献1の段落[0088]~[0102]および図8,図9には、複数の金種の紙幣を混合収納している収納放出部53からの出金処理が開示されている。特許文献1では、収納放出部53から放出される紙幣のうち、出金すべき金種の紙幣については、出金すべき枚数になるまで出金口16へ搬送し、それ以外の紙幣については、一時保留部28またはリジェクトボックス52に搬送する。
Paragraphs [0088] to [0102] of Patent Document 1 and FIGS. 8 and 9 disclose a withdrawal process from a storage / release unit 53 that mixes and stores banknotes of a plurality of denominations. In Patent Document 1, among the banknotes released from the storage / release unit 53, the banknotes of the denomination to be withdrawn are transported to the withdrawal port 16 until the number of banknotes to be withdrawn is reached, and the other banknotes are conveyed. , Transported to the temporary holding unit 28 or the reject box 52.
特許文献1では、出金口16に搬送される紙幣の順序は、収納放出部53に収納されている紙幣の収納順序に依存する。そのため、出金口16に出金された紙幣は、必ずしも金種ごとにまとまらない。
In Patent Document 1, the order of bills transported to the withdrawal port 16 depends on the storage order of bills stored in the storage / release unit 53. Therefore, the banknotes withdrawn to the withdrawal port 16 are not necessarily collected for each denomination.
例えば、収納放出部53に最も新しく収納された紙幣の金種を金種A、その前に収納された紙幣の金種を金種A、その前に収納された紙幣の金種を金種B、その前に収納された紙幣の金種を金種C、その前に収納された紙幣の金種をA、…とする。収納放出部53から、金種Aの紙幣を3枚、金種Bの紙幣を1枚、出金するとする。この場合、出金口16には、金種A、金種A、金種B、金種Aの順に紙幣が出金され、金種Aの紙幣の間に、金種Bの紙幣が入り混じる。なお、収納法出部53において、金種Aと金種Bとの間に収納されていた金種Cの紙幣は、一時保留部28に搬送される。
For example, the denomination of the banknote most recently stored in the storage / release unit 53 is denomination A, the denomination of the banknote stored before it is denomination A, and the denomination of the banknote stored before it is denomination B. , The denomination of the banknote stored before that is denomination C, the denomination of the banknote stored before that is A, and so on. It is assumed that three banknotes of denomination A and one banknote of denomination B are withdrawn from the storage / release unit 53. In this case, banknotes are withdrawn in the order of denomination A, denomination A, denomination B, and denomination A to the withdrawal port 16, and the banknotes of denomination B are mixed between the banknotes of denomination A. .. In the storage method output section 53, the banknotes of the denomination C stored between the denomination A and the denomination B are transported to the temporary holding section 28.

The control unit 18 controls the transport unit 15 to transport the 10 euro banknotes delivered to the transport unit 15 to the withdrawal unit 13. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4 (f), 10 euro banknotes of the target denomination are withdrawn to the withdrawal unit 13.
図4の(f)では、第1収納部24aに最新に収納された紙幣は、5ユーロ紙幣である。5ユーロ紙幣は、非対象金種の紙幣である。制御部18は、第1収納部24aを制御し、第1収納部24aから5ユーロ紙幣を搬送部15に繰出す。制御部18は、搬送部15を制御して、搬送部15に繰出した5ユーロ紙幣を一時保留部17に搬送する。これにより、一時保留部17には、図4の(g)に示すように、非対象金種の5ユーロ紙幣が一時保留される。
In FIG. 4 (f), the banknotes most recently stored in the first storage unit 24a are 5 euro banknotes. The 5 euro banknote is a non-target denomination banknote. The control unit 18 controls the first storage unit 24a, and pays out 5 euro banknotes from the first storage unit 24a to the transport unit 15. The control unit 18 controls the transport unit 15 to transport the 5 euro banknotes delivered to the transport unit 15 to the temporary holding unit 17. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4 (g), the 5 euro banknote of the non-target denomination is temporarily held in the temporary holding section 17.
図4の(g)では、第1収納部24aに最新に収納された紙幣は、10ユーロ紙幣である。10ユーロ紙幣は、出金金種の紙幣である。制御部18は、第1収納部24aを制御し、第1収納部24aから10ユーロ紙幣を搬送部15に繰出す。制御部18は、搬送部15を制御して、搬送部15に繰出した10ユーロ紙幣を出金部13に搬送する。これにより、出金部13には、図4の(h)に示すように、出金金種の10ユーロ紙幣が出金される。出金部13に出金された10ユーロ紙幣は、出金枚数の2枚に達しているので、第2の金種の紙幣を出金部13に搬送する処理は完了したものとされる。出金部13には、2枚の5ユーロ紙幣と、2枚の10ユーロ紙幣とが、金種ごとにまとまって出金される。
In (g) of FIG. 4, the banknotes most recently stored in the first storage unit 24a are 10 euro banknotes. The 10 euro banknote is a withdrawal type banknote. The control unit 18 controls the first storage unit 24a, and pays out 10 euro banknotes from the first storage unit 24a to the transport unit 15. The control unit 18 controls the transport unit 15 to transport the 10 euro banknotes delivered to the transport unit 15 to the withdrawal unit 13. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4 (h), a 10 euro banknote of the withdrawal type is withdrawn to the withdrawal unit 13. Since the number of 10 euro banknotes withdrawn to the withdrawal section 13 has reached two withdrawals, it is considered that the process of transporting the banknotes of the second denomination to the withdrawal section 13 has been completed. Two 5 euro banknotes and two 10 euro banknotes are withdrawn to the withdrawal section 13 for each denomination.
制御部18は、2枚の5ユーロ紙幣と、2枚の10ユーロ紙幣との出金が完了すると、一時保留部17に一時保留した紙幣を、一時保留部17および搬送部15を制御して第1収納部24aに戻す。例えば、制御部18は、図4の(h)に示す一時保留部17の5ユーロ紙幣、10ユーロ紙幣、および20ユーロ紙幣を、第1収納部24aに戻す。これにより、一時保留部17は、図4の(i)に示すように空となり、出金処理を開始する前の状態に戻る。
When the withdrawal of the two 5 euro banknotes and the two 10 euro banknotes is completed, the control unit 18 controls the temporary hold unit 17 and the transport unit 15 to temporarily hold the bills in the temporary hold unit 17. Return to the first storage unit 24a. For example, the control unit 18 returns the 5 euro banknote, the 10 euro banknote, and the 20 euro banknote of the temporary holding unit 17 shown in FIG. 4 (h) to the first storage unit 24a. As a result, the temporary holding unit 17 becomes empty as shown in FIG. 4 (i), and returns to the state before the withdrawal process is started.
図5は、貨幣処理装置1の動作例を示したフローチャートである。貨幣処理装置1の制御部18は、例えば、端末装置から出金処理の指示を受信する(ステップS1)。
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the money processing device 1. The control unit 18 of the money processing device 1 receives, for example, a withdrawal processing instruction from the terminal device (step S1).
制御部18は、出金部13に出金すべき対象金種を選択する(ステップS2)。例えば、制御部18は、ステップS1において、出金する紙幣の金種と枚数とが指定された場合、対象金種として、指定された紙幣の金種のうち、最も小さい金種を選択する。制御部18は、ステップS7からステップS2に処理を移行した場合、対象金種として順次小さい金種を選択する。より具体的には、制御部18は、ステップS1の出金処理の指示において、20ユーロ紙幣2枚、10ユーロ紙幣2枚、および5ユーロ紙幣1枚が指定される。この場合、制御部18は、まず対象金種として5ユーロを選択する。制御部18は、ステップS7からステップS2に処理を移行した場合、対象金種として10ユーロを選択する。制御部18は、次にステップS7からステップS2に処理を移行した場合、対象金種として20ユーロを選択する。
The control unit 18 selects a target denomination to be withdrawn to the withdrawal unit 13 (step S2). For example, when the denomination and the number of bills to be withdrawn are specified in step S1, the control unit 18 selects the smallest denomination of the designated bills as the target denomination. When the process shifts from step S7 to step S2, the control unit 18 sequentially selects smaller denominations as the target denominations. More specifically, the control unit 18 designates two 20 euro banknotes, two 10 euro banknotes, and one 5 euro banknote in the withdrawal processing instruction in step S1. In this case, the control unit 18 first selects 5 euros as the target denomination. When the process shifts from step S7 to step S2, the control unit 18 selects 10 euros as the target denomination. When the process is then transferred from step S7 to step S2, the control unit 18 selects 20 euros as the target denomination.
なお、制御部18は、ステップS1において、出金する紙幣の金種と枚数とが指定された場合、最初の対象金種として、指定された紙幣の金種のうち、最も小さい金種を選択したが、これに限られない。制御部18は、最初の対象金種として、指定された紙幣の金種のうち、最も大きい金種を選択してもよい。そして、制御部18は、ステップS7からステップS2に処理を移行した場合、次の対象金種として、順次大きい金種を選択してもよい。
When the denomination and the number of bills to be withdrawn are specified in step S1, the control unit 18 selects the smallest denomination of the designated bills as the first target denomination. However, it is not limited to this. The control unit 18 may select the largest denomination among the denominations of the designated banknotes as the first target denomination. Then, when the process shifts from step S7 to step S2, the control unit 18 may sequentially select a larger denomination as the next target denomination.
また、制御部18は、ステップS1の出金指示において、出金額が指定され、かつ、出金する紙幣の金種が指定されない場合、出金金種を決定してもよい。例えば、制御部18は、最小の構成枚数の紙幣において、指定された金額を満たすように、出金する紙幣の金種と枚数とを決定してもよい。例えば、制御部18は、出金金額として、45ユーロが指定された場合、最小の構成枚数である20ユーロ紙幣2枚と5ユーロ紙幣1枚とを決定してもよい。
Further, the control unit 18 may determine the withdrawal denomination when the withdrawal amount is specified and the denomination of the banknote to be withdrawn is not specified in the withdrawal instruction in step S1. For example, the control unit 18 may determine the denomination and the number of banknotes to be withdrawn so as to satisfy the specified amount of money in the minimum number of banknotes. For example, when 45 euros is specified as the withdrawal amount, the control unit 18 may determine the minimum number of constituents, two 20 euro banknotes and one 5 euro banknote.
制御部18は、ステップS2にて出金する紙幣の対象金種を選択すると、第1収納部24aを制御し、第1収納部24aから紙幣を繰出す(ステップS3)。
When the control unit 18 selects the target denomination of the bill to be withdrawn in step S2, the control unit 18 controls the first storage unit 24a and pays out the bill from the first storage unit 24a (step S3).
制御部18は、第1収納部24aから紙幣を繰出すと、記憶部の第1収納部24aにおける収納情報を参照し、繰出した紙幣がステップS2にて選択した金種の紙幣であるか否かを判定する(ステップS4)。このとき、第1収納部24aから紙幣を繰出したことに伴い、第1収納部24aの収納情報を更新する。
When the control unit 18 pays out the bills from the first storage unit 24a, the control unit 18 refers to the storage information in the first storage unit 24a of the storage unit, and whether or not the delivered bills are the bills of the denomination selected in step S2. (Step S4). At this time, the storage information of the first storage unit 24a is updated as the banknotes are paid out from the first storage unit 24a.
制御部18は、第1収納部24aから繰出した紙幣が、ステップS2にて選択した対象金種の紙幣でないと判定した場合(S4の「No」)、搬送部15を制御し、第1収納部24aから繰出した紙幣を一時保留部17へ搬送する(ステップS9)。このとき、紙幣を一時保留部17へ搬送したことに伴い、一時保留情報を更新する。
When the control unit 18 determines that the banknotes drawn out from the first storage unit 24a are not the banknotes of the target denomination selected in step S2 (“No” in S4), the control unit 18 controls the transport unit 15 to store the first storage. The banknotes drawn out from the unit 24a are transported to the temporary holding unit 17 (step S9). At this time, the temporary hold information is updated as the banknotes are transported to the temporary hold unit 17.
一方、制御部18は、第1収納部24aから繰出した紙幣が、ステップS2にて選択した対象金種の紙幣であると判定した場合(S4の「Yes」)、搬送部15を制御し、第1収納部24aから繰出した紙幣を出金部13へ搬送する(ステップS5)。このとき、紙幣を出金部13へ搬送したことに伴い、出金情報を更新する。
On the other hand, when the control unit 18 determines that the banknotes drawn out from the first storage unit 24a are the banknotes of the target denomination selected in step S2 (“Yes” in S4), the control unit 18 controls the transport unit 15. The banknotes drawn out from the first storage unit 24a are conveyed to the withdrawal unit 13 (step S5). At this time, the withdrawal information is updated as the banknotes are transported to the withdrawal unit 13.
制御部18は、出金情報を参照し、ステップS2にて選択した対象金種の紙幣が、出金枚数に達したか否かを判定する(ステップS6)。
The control unit 18 refers to the withdrawal information and determines whether or not the banknotes of the target denomination selected in step S2 have reached the number of withdrawals (step S6).
制御部18は、ステップS2にて選択した対象金種の紙幣が、出金枚数に達していないと判定した場合(S6の「No」)、処理をステップS3へ移行する。
When the control unit 18 determines that the bills of the target denomination selected in step S2 have not reached the number of withdrawals (“No” in S6), the control unit 18 shifts the process to step S3.
一方、制御部18は、ステップS2にて選択した対象金種の紙幣が、出金枚数に達していると判定した場合(S6の「Yes」)、他に出金する金種の紙幣があるか否かを判定する(ステップS7)。
On the other hand, when the control unit 18 determines that the banknotes of the target denomination selected in step S2 have reached the number of withdrawals (“Yes” in S6), there are other banknotes of the denomination to be withdrawn. Whether or not it is determined (step S7).
制御部18は、他に出金する金種の紙幣があると判定した場合(S7の「Yes」)、処理をステップS2に移行する。
When the control unit 18 determines that there are other banknotes of the denomination to be withdrawn (“Yes” in S7), the process proceeds to step S2.
一方、制御部18は、他に出金する金種の紙幣がないと判定した場合(S7の「No」)、一時保留情報を参照し、一時保留部17に一時保留した紙幣を、第1収納部24aに戻す(ステップS8)。そして、制御部18は、当該フローチャートの処理を終了する。
On the other hand, when the control unit 18 determines that there are no other banknotes of the denomination to be withdrawn (“No” in S7), the control unit 18 refers to the temporary hold information and first holds the banknotes temporarily held in the temporary hold unit 17. Return to the storage unit 24a (step S8). Then, the control unit 18 ends the processing of the flowchart.
以上説明したように、貨幣処理装置1の制御部18は、第1収納部24aに収納された紙幣を出金する際、紙幣が金種ごとにまとまって出金部13に払い出されるように、第1収納部24aから繰り出される紙幣を、金種に応じて一時保留部17に搬送する制御を行う。これにより、制御部18は、出金部13に出金する紙幣を、金種ごとにまとまって出金部13に払い出すことができる。また、出金部13には、金種ごとにまとまって紙幣が払い出されることにより、ユーザは、例えば、金種ごとにおける紙幣の出金枚数の確認が容易となる。
As described above, when the control unit 18 of the money processing device 1 withdraws the banknotes stored in the first storage unit 24a, the banknotes are collected for each denomination and paid out to the withdrawal unit 13. Control is performed to convey the banknotes drawn out from the first storage unit 24a to the temporary holding unit 17 according to the denomination. As a result, the control unit 18 can collectively pay out the banknotes to be withdrawn to the withdrawal unit 13 to the withdrawal unit 13. Further, since the banknotes are collectively paid out to the withdrawal unit 13 for each denomination, the user can easily confirm, for example, the number of withdrawal banknotes for each denomination.
また、貨幣処理装置1の制御部18は、第1収納部24aから繰り出される紙幣が第1の金種の場合、第1収納部24aから繰り出される紙幣を出金部13に搬送する。このとき、対象金種は第1の金種である。第1収納部24aから繰り出される紙幣が第2の金種の場合、第1収納部24aから繰り出される紙幣を一時保留部17に搬送する。第2の金種は非対象金種である。これらの処理を繰り返し、出金部13に搬送された第1の金種の紙幣が出金枚数に達すると、第2の金種の紙幣を出金部13に搬送する。このとき、対象金種は第2の金種に変更される。これにより、制御部18は、出金部13に出金する紙幣を、金種ごとにまとまって出金部に払い出すことができる。また、出金部13には、金種ごとにまとまって紙幣が払い出されることにより、ユーザは、例えば、金種ごとにおける紙幣の出金枚数の確認が容易となる。
Further, the control unit 18 of the money processing device 1 conveys the banknotes paid out from the first storage unit 24a to the withdrawal unit 13 when the banknotes paid out from the first storage unit 24a are the first denomination. At this time, the target denomination is the first denomination. When the banknotes drawn out from the first storage unit 24a are of the second denomination, the banknotes paid out from the first storage unit 24a are conveyed to the temporary holding unit 17. The second denomination is the non-target denomination. When these processes are repeated and the number of banknotes of the first denomination conveyed to the withdrawal unit 13 reaches the number of withdrawals, the banknotes of the second denomination are conveyed to the withdrawal unit 13. At this time, the target denomination is changed to the second denomination. As a result, the control unit 18 can collectively pay out the banknotes to be withdrawn to the withdrawal unit 13 to the withdrawal unit for each denomination. Further, since the banknotes are collectively paid out to the withdrawal unit 13 for each denomination, the user can easily confirm, for example, the number of withdrawal banknotes for each denomination.

出金処理において、非対象金種の紙幣は、一時保留部17に一時保留するとしたがこれに限られない。例えば、多目的収納部23、第1収納部24、第2収納部25、および着脱式収納部2の少なくとも1つを、非対象金種の紙幣を一時保留する収納部として使用してもよい。また、多目的収納部23、第1収納部24、第2収納部25、および着脱式収納部2のうち、精査処理に使用する収納部を、非対象金種の紙幣を一時保留する収納部として使用してもよい。精査処理とは、例えば、収納部に収納されている紙幣を、精査処理用の収納部(精査処理収納部)との間で循環移動させ、紙幣を移動させる際に、識別部16を用いて、紙幣の在高等を確認する処理である。なお、非対象金種の紙幣を一時保留する収納部は、退避部と呼ばれてもよい。 [Modification 1]
In the withdrawal process, banknotes of non-target denominations are temporarily held in thetemporary holding section 17, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, at least one of the multipurpose storage unit 23, the first storage unit 24, the second storage unit 25, and the removable storage unit 2 may be used as a storage unit for temporarily holding banknotes of non-target denominations. Further, among the multipurpose storage unit 23, the first storage unit 24, the second storage unit 25, and the removable storage unit 2, the storage unit used for the scrutiny process is used as a storage unit for temporarily holding banknotes of non-target denominations. You may use it. In the scrutiny process, for example, the banknotes stored in the storage unit are circulated and moved to and from the storage unit for scrutiny processing (scrutiny processing storage unit), and when the banknotes are moved, the identification unit 16 is used. , It is a process to confirm the amount of banknotes. The storage unit for temporarily holding banknotes of non-target denominations may be called an evacuation unit.
出金処理において、非対象金種の紙幣は、一時保留部17に一時保留するとしたがこれに限られない。例えば、多目的収納部23、第1収納部24、第2収納部25、および着脱式収納部2の少なくとも1つを、非対象金種の紙幣を一時保留する収納部として使用してもよい。また、多目的収納部23、第1収納部24、第2収納部25、および着脱式収納部2のうち、精査処理に使用する収納部を、非対象金種の紙幣を一時保留する収納部として使用してもよい。精査処理とは、例えば、収納部に収納されている紙幣を、精査処理用の収納部(精査処理収納部)との間で循環移動させ、紙幣を移動させる際に、識別部16を用いて、紙幣の在高等を確認する処理である。なお、非対象金種の紙幣を一時保留する収納部は、退避部と呼ばれてもよい。 [Modification 1]

出金部13に出金される紙幣の金種の順番は、例えば、端末装置から指示されてもよい。例えば、制御部18は、端末装置からの指示に応じて、第1収納部24aに収納されている紙幣を、金種が大きい順に出金部13に払い出し、または、第1収納部24aに収納されている紙幣を、金種が小さい順に出金部13に払い出してもよい。また、出金部13に出金される紙幣の金種の順番は、例えば、予め定められ、記憶部に記憶された順番でもよい。
The order of denominations of banknotes to be withdrawn to the withdrawal unit 13 may be instructed by, for example, a terminal device. For example, the control unit 18 pays out the banknotes stored in the first storage unit 24a to the withdrawal unit 13 in descending order of denomination, or stores the banknotes in the first storage unit 24a in response to an instruction from the terminal device. The bills may be paid out to the withdrawal unit 13 in ascending order of denomination. Further, the order of the denominations of the banknotes to be withdrawn to the withdrawal unit 13 may be, for example, a predetermined order stored in the storage unit.
[変形例3]
出金処理の途中に、対象金種の紙幣が第1収納部24aに収納されていないが、一時保留部17に一時保留されている状況が発生する場合がある。この場合、制御部18は、一時保留部17に一時保留した紙幣を、第1収納部24aに戻してもよい。そして、制御部18は、第1収納部24aに収納された紙幣を、紙幣が金種ごとにまとまって出金部13に払い出されるように、第1収納部24aから繰り出される紙幣を、金種に応じて一時保留部17に搬送してもよい。 [Modification 3]
During the withdrawal process, the banknotes of the target denomination may not be stored in thefirst storage unit 24a, but may be temporarily held in the temporary holding unit 17. In this case, the control unit 18 may return the banknotes temporarily held in the temporary holding unit 17 to the first storage unit 24a. Then, the control unit 18 denominates the banknotes to be delivered from the first storage unit 24a so that the banknotes stored in the first storage unit 24a are collected and paid out to the withdrawal unit 13 for each denomination. It may be transported to the temporary holding unit 17 according to the situation.
出金処理の途中に、対象金種の紙幣が第1収納部24aに収納されていないが、一時保留部17に一時保留されている状況が発生する場合がある。この場合、制御部18は、一時保留部17に一時保留した紙幣を、第1収納部24aに戻してもよい。そして、制御部18は、第1収納部24aに収納された紙幣を、紙幣が金種ごとにまとまって出金部13に払い出されるように、第1収納部24aから繰り出される紙幣を、金種に応じて一時保留部17に搬送してもよい。 [Modification 3]

Note that the control unit 18 may return all the banknotes temporarily held in the temporary holding unit 17 to the first storage unit 24a. Further, the control unit 18 may return the banknotes of the target denomination to be withdrawn to the withdrawal unit 13 to the first storage unit 24a until they are aligned with the first storage unit 24a.
[変形例4]
制御部18は、出金処理において、第1収納部24aから繰り出した紙幣が、対象金種の紙幣であるか否かの判定を、第1収納部24aの収納情報を参照することにより行ったがこれに限られない。例えば、制御部18は、第1収納部24aから繰り出した紙幣の金種を識別部で識別し、対象金種の紙幣であるか否かの判定を行ってもよい。 [Modification example 4]
In the withdrawal process, thecontrol unit 18 determines whether or not the banknotes drawn out from the first storage unit 24a are banknotes of the target denomination by referring to the storage information of the first storage unit 24a. Is not limited to this. For example, the control unit 18 may identify the denomination of the banknote drawn out from the first storage unit 24a by the identification unit and determine whether or not the banknote is the target denomination.

(第2の実施の形態)
出金処理において、対象金種の紙幣が第1収納部24aに収納されていないが、一時保留部17に一時保留されている場合がある。第1の実施の形態の変形例3では、前述の状況に対し、一時保留部17に一時保留された紙幣を第1収納部24aに戻したが、第2の実施の形態では、一時保留部17に一時保留された紙幣を、第1収納部24aに戻さず、金種に応じて出金部13と第1収納部24aとのいずれか一方に搬送する。 (Second Embodiment)
In the withdrawal process, the banknotes of the target denomination are not stored in thefirst storage unit 24a, but may be temporarily held in the temporary holding unit 17. In the third modification of the first embodiment, the banknotes temporarily held in the temporary holding section 17 are returned to the first storage section 24a in response to the above situation, but in the second embodiment, the temporary holding section is used. The banknotes temporarily held in 17 are not returned to the first storage unit 24a, but are transported to either the withdrawal unit 13 or the first storage unit 24a according to the denomination.
出金処理において、対象金種の紙幣が第1収納部24aに収納されていないが、一時保留部17に一時保留されている場合がある。第1の実施の形態の変形例3では、前述の状況に対し、一時保留部17に一時保留された紙幣を第1収納部24aに戻したが、第2の実施の形態では、一時保留部17に一時保留された紙幣を、第1収納部24aに戻さず、金種に応じて出金部13と第1収納部24aとのいずれか一方に搬送する。 (Second Embodiment)
In the withdrawal process, the banknotes of the target denomination are not stored in the
図6は、第2の実施の形態に係る貨幣処理装置1の出金処理における紙幣の搬送ルートの一例を示した図である。図6において、図1と同じものには同じ符号が付してある。
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a banknote transport route in the withdrawal processing of the money processing device 1 according to the second embodiment. In FIG. 6, the same ones as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals.
制御部18は、対象金種の紙幣が第1収納部24aに収納されておらず、一時保留部17に一時保留されている場合、一時保留部17から紙幣を繰出してもよい。
When the bills of the target denomination are not stored in the first storage unit 24a and are temporarily held in the temporary holding unit 17, the control unit 18 may pay out the bills from the temporary holding unit 17.
例えば、制御部18は、一時保留部17を制御し、一時保留部17に一時保留されている紙幣を搬送部15に繰出す。制御部18は、一時保留部17から搬送部15に繰出した紙幣の金種が対象金種の場合、図6の矢印A11に示すように、繰出した紙幣を出金部13に搬送する。一方、制御部18は、一時保留部17から搬送部15に繰出した紙幣の金種が非対象金種の場合、図6の点線の矢印A12に示すように、繰出した紙幣を第1収納部24aに搬送する。
For example, the control unit 18 controls the temporary holding unit 17 and delivers the bills temporarily held in the temporary holding unit 17 to the transport unit 15. When the denomination of the bills drawn from the temporary holding unit 17 to the transport unit 15 is the target denomination, the control unit 18 conveys the delivered bills to the withdrawal unit 13 as shown by arrow A11 in FIG. On the other hand, when the denomination of the bills drawn from the temporary holding unit 17 to the transport unit 15 is a non-target denomination, the control unit 18 stores the drawn bills in the first storage unit as shown by the dotted arrow A12 in FIG. Transport to 24a.
図7は、貨幣処理装置1の動作例を説明する図である。図7では、5ユーロ紙幣を2枚、10ユーロ紙幣を3枚出金する。図7の(j)の状態は、図4の(h)の状態に対応する。
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an operation example of the money processing device 1. In FIG. 7, two 5 euro banknotes and three 10 euro banknotes are withdrawn. The state of (j) in FIG. 7 corresponds to the state of (h) in FIG.
図7の(j)の第1収納部24aには、対象金種の10ユーロ紙幣が収納されていない。10ユーロ紙幣は、一時保留部17に一時保留されている。そこで、制御部18は、一時保留部17に一時保留されている10ユーロ紙幣を出金部13に出金する。なお、制御部18は、記憶部の第1収納部24aにおける収納情報を参照し、第1収納部24aには、対象金種の10ユーロ紙幣が収納されていないことを把握できる。また、制御部18は、記憶部の一時保留部17における一時保留情報を参照し、一時保留部17には、対象金種の10ユーロ紙幣が収納されていることを把握できる。
The 10 euro banknote of the target denomination is not stored in the first storage unit 24a of FIG. 7 (j). The 10 euro banknote is temporarily held in the temporary holding section 17. Therefore, the control unit 18 withdraws the 10 euro banknote temporarily held in the temporary holding unit 17 to the withdrawal unit 13. The control unit 18 can refer to the storage information in the first storage unit 24a of the storage unit, and can grasp that the 10 euro banknote of the target denomination is not stored in the first storage unit 24a. Further, the control unit 18 can refer to the temporary hold information in the temporary hold unit 17 of the storage unit, and can grasp that the temporary hold unit 17 stores 10 euro banknotes of the target denomination.
図7の(j)では、一時保留部17に最新に一時保留された紙幣は、5ユーロ紙幣である。5ユーロ紙幣は、非対象金種の紙幣である。制御部18は、一時保留部17を制御し、一時保留部17から5ユーロ紙幣を搬送部15に繰出す。制御部18は、搬送部15を制御して、搬送部15に繰出した5ユーロ紙幣を第1収納部24aに搬送する。これにより、第1収納部24aには、図4の(k)に示すように、5ユーロ紙幣が収納される。
In FIG. 7 (j), the latest temporarily held banknote in the temporary holding section 17 is a 5 euro banknote. The 5 euro banknote is a non-target denomination banknote. The control unit 18 controls the temporary holding unit 17 and delivers 5 euro banknotes from the temporary holding unit 17 to the transport unit 15. The control unit 18 controls the transport unit 15 to transport the 5 euro banknotes delivered to the transport unit 15 to the first storage unit 24a. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4 (k), 5 euro banknotes are stored in the first storage unit 24a.
図7の(k)では、一時保留部17に最新に一時保留された紙幣は、10ユーロである。10ユーロ紙幣は、対象金種の紙幣である。制御部18は、一時保留部17を制御し、一時保留部17から10ユーロ紙幣を搬送部15に繰出す。制御部18は、搬送部15を制御して、搬送部15に繰出した10ユーロ紙幣を出金部13に搬送する。これにより、出金部13には、図7の(l)に示すように、10ユーロ紙幣が出金される。
In (k) of FIG. 7, the latest temporarily held banknote in the temporary holding section 17 is 10 euros. The 10 euro banknote is a banknote of the target denomination. The control unit 18 controls the temporary holding unit 17 and delivers 10 euro banknotes from the temporary holding unit 17 to the transport unit 15. The control unit 18 controls the transport unit 15 to transport the 10 euro banknotes delivered to the transport unit 15 to the withdrawal unit 13. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7 (l), a 10 euro banknote is withdrawn to the withdrawal unit 13.
なお、出金部13に出金された10ユーロ紙幣は、出金枚数の3枚に達している。従って、出金部13には、2枚の5ユーロ紙幣と、3枚の10ユーロ紙幣とが、金種ごとにまとまって出金されている。
The number of 10 euro banknotes withdrawn to the withdrawal section 13 has reached 3 withdrawals. Therefore, two 5 euro banknotes and three 10 euro banknotes are withdrawn together in the withdrawal unit 13 for each denomination.
制御部18は、2枚の5ユーロ紙幣と、3枚の10ユーロ紙幣との出金が完了すると、一時保留部17に一時保留した紙幣を、一時保留部17および搬送部15を制御して第1収納部24aに戻す。例えば、制御部18は、図7の(l)に示す一時保留部17の20ユーロ紙幣を、第1収納部24aに戻す。これにより、一時保留部17は空となり、出金処理を開始する前の状態に戻る。
When the withdrawal of two 5 euro banknotes and three 10 euro banknotes is completed, the control unit 18 controls the temporary hold unit 17 and the transport unit 15 to temporarily hold the bills in the temporary hold unit 17. Return to the first storage unit 24a. For example, the control unit 18 returns the 20 euro banknote of the temporary holding unit 17 shown in FIG. 7 (l) to the first storage unit 24a. As a result, the temporary holding unit 17 becomes empty and returns to the state before the withdrawal process is started.
以上説明したように、貨幣処理装置1の制御部18は、第1収納部24aから繰り出される紙幣が第1の金種(例えば、5ユーロ紙幣)の場合、第1収納部24aから繰り出される紙幣を出金部13に搬送する。このとき、対象金種は第1の金種である。第1収納部24aから繰り出される紙幣が第2の金種(例えば、10ユーロ紙幣)の場合、第1収納部24aから繰り出される紙幣を一時保留部17に搬送する。第2の金種は非対象金種である。これらの処理を繰り返し、出金部13に搬送された第1の金種の紙幣が出金枚数に達すると、第1の金種を出金部13へ搬送する処理が完了する。引き続き、第2の金種の紙幣を出金部13に搬送する。このとき、対象金種は第2の金種に変更されている。そして、制御部18は、第2の金種の紙幣を出金部13に搬送する処理において、一時保留部17から繰り出される紙幣を出金部13に搬送する。これにより、制御部18は、出金部13に出金する紙幣を、金種ごとにまとまって出金部に払い出すことができる。また、出金部13には、金種ごとにまとまって紙幣が払い出されることにより、ユーザは、例えば、金種ごとにおける紙幣の出金枚数の確認が容易となる。
As described above, in the control unit 18 of the money processing device 1, when the banknotes to be paid out from the first storage unit 24a are the first denomination (for example, 5 euro banknotes), the banknotes to be paid out from the first storage unit 24a. Is transported to the withdrawal unit 13. At this time, the target denomination is the first denomination. When the banknotes delivered from the first storage section 24a are of the second denomination (for example, 10 euro banknotes), the banknotes delivered from the first storage section 24a are conveyed to the temporary holding section 17. The second denomination is the non-target denomination. When these processes are repeated and the number of banknotes of the first denomination transported to the withdrawal unit 13 reaches the number of withdrawals, the process of transporting the first denomination to the withdrawal unit 13 is completed. Subsequently, the banknote of the second denomination is conveyed to the withdrawal unit 13. At this time, the target denomination has been changed to the second denomination. Then, in the process of transporting the banknotes of the second denomination to the withdrawal unit 13, the control unit 18 conveys the banknotes paid out from the temporary holding unit 17 to the withdrawal unit 13. As a result, the control unit 18 can collectively pay out the banknotes to be withdrawn to the withdrawal unit 13 to the withdrawal unit for each denomination. Further, since the banknotes are collectively paid out to the withdrawal unit 13 for each denomination, the user can easily confirm, for example, the number of withdrawal banknotes for each denomination.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 8 (o), a 10 euro banknote is withdrawn to the withdrawal unit 13.
図8の(o)では、一時保留部17に最新に一時保留された紙幣は、20ユーロ紙幣である。20ユーロ紙幣は、対象金種の紙幣である。制御部18は、一時保留部17を制御し、一時保留部17から20ユーロ紙幣を搬送部15に繰出す。制御部18は、搬送部15に繰出した20ユーロ紙幣を、搬送部15を制御して出金部13に搬送する。これにより、出金部13には、図8の(p)に示すように、20ユーロ紙幣が収納される。
In FIG. 8 (o), the latest temporarily held banknote in the temporary holding section 17 is a 20 euro banknote. The 20 euro banknote is a banknote of the target denomination. The control unit 18 controls the temporary holding unit 17 and delivers 20 euro banknotes from the temporary holding unit 17 to the transport unit 15. The control unit 18 controls the transport unit 15 to transport the 20 euro banknotes delivered to the transport unit 15 to the withdrawal unit 13. As a result, the withdrawal section 13 stores 20 euro banknotes as shown in FIG. 8 (p).
図8の(p)では、第1収納部24aに最新に収納された紙幣は、5ユーロ紙幣である。5ユーロ紙幣は、非対象金種の紙幣である。制御部18は、第1収納部24aを制御し、第1収納部24aから5ユーロ紙幣を搬送部15に繰出す。制御部18は、搬送部15を制御して、搬送部15に繰出した5ユーロ紙幣を一時保留部17に搬送する。これにより、一時保留部17には、図8の(q)に示すように、非対象金種の5ユーロ紙幣が一時保留される。
In FIG. 8 (p), the banknotes most recently stored in the first storage unit 24a are 5 euro banknotes. The 5 euro banknote is a non-target denomination banknote. The control unit 18 controls the first storage unit 24a, and pays out 5 euro banknotes from the first storage unit 24a to the transport unit 15. The control unit 18 controls the transport unit 15 to transport the 5 euro banknotes delivered to the transport unit 15 to the temporary holding unit 17. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8 (q), the 5 euro banknote of the non-target denomination is temporarily held in the temporary holding section 17.
図8の(q)では、第1収納部24aに最新に収納された紙幣は、20ユーロ紙幣である。20ユーロ紙幣は、対象金種の紙幣である。制御部18は、第1収納部24aを制御し、第1収納部24aから20ユーロ紙幣を搬送部15に繰出す。制御部18は、搬送部15を制御して、搬送部15に繰出した20ユーロ紙幣を出金部13に搬送する。これにより、出金部13には、図8の(r)に示すように、対象金種の20ユーロ紙幣が出金される。出金部13には、1枚の10ユーロ紙幣と、2枚の20ユーロ紙幣とが、金種ごとにまとまって出金されている。
In FIG. 8 (q), the banknotes most recently stored in the first storage unit 24a are 20 euro banknotes. The 20 euro banknote is a banknote of the target denomination. The control unit 18 controls the first storage unit 24a, and pays out 20 euro banknotes from the first storage unit 24a to the transport unit 15. The control unit 18 controls the transport unit 15 to transport the 20 euro banknotes delivered to the transport unit 15 to the withdrawal unit 13. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8 (r), the 20 euro banknote of the target denomination is withdrawn to the withdrawal unit 13. One 10-euro banknote and two 20-euro banknotes are withdrawn in the withdrawal section 13 for each denomination.
このように、制御部18は、第1の出金処理後に、一時保留部17に一時保留された紙幣を第1収納部24aに戻さずに、第1の出金処理に続く第2の出金処理を行ってもよい。これにより、第1の出金処理後、一時保留部17に一時保留された紙幣を第1収納部24aに戻す工程が削減され、ユーザは、直ぐに第2の出金処理を行うことができる。
In this way, after the first withdrawal process, the control unit 18 does not return the banknotes temporarily held in the temporary hold unit 17 to the first storage unit 24a, but instead follows the first withdrawal process. Gold processing may be performed. As a result, the step of returning the banknotes temporarily held in the temporary holding unit 17 to the first storage unit 24a after the first withdrawal process is reduced, and the user can immediately perform the second withdrawal process.

Further, the storage unit for accommodating the bills to be withdrawn to the withdrawal unit 13 is not limited to the first storage unit 24a. Banknotes of different denominations may be stored in at least one of the multipurpose storage unit 23, the first storage unit 24, the second storage unit 25, and the removable storage unit 2. In the following, the second storage unit 25b stores banknotes of different denominations.
図9は、第4の実施の形態に係る貨幣処理装置1の出金処理における紙幣の搬送ルートの一例を示した図である。図9において、図1と同じものには同じ符号が付してある。図9の貨幣処理装置1では、制御部18は、第2収納部25bに収納された紙幣を出金部13に出金する。
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a banknote transport route in the withdrawal processing of the money processing device 1 according to the fourth embodiment. In FIG. 9, the same ones as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals. In the money processing device 1 of FIG. 9, the control unit 18 withdraws the banknotes stored in the second storage unit 25b to the withdrawal unit 13.
第2収納部25bには、異なる金種の紙幣が収納される。例えば、第2収納部25bには、3種類の金種の紙幣が収納される。より具体的には、第2収納部25bには、5ユーロ紙幣、10ユーロ紙幣、および20ユーロ紙幣が収納されてもよい。
Banknotes of different denominations are stored in the second storage section 25b. For example, the second storage unit 25b stores banknotes of three types of denominations. More specifically, the second storage unit 25b may store 5 euro banknotes, 10 euro banknotes, and 20 euro banknotes.
第2収納部25bに収納される紙幣は、入金部12から入金される紙幣であってもよい。例えば、制御部18は、搬送部15を制御して、入金部12に入金された5ユーロ紙幣、10ユーロ紙幣、および20ユーロ紙幣を第2収納部25bに搬送する。
The banknotes stored in the second storage unit 25b may be banknotes deposited from the deposit unit 12. For example, the control unit 18 controls the transport unit 15 to transport the 5 euro banknotes, the 10 euro banknotes, and the 20 euro banknotes deposited in the deposit unit 12 to the second storage unit 25b.
制御部18は、出金処理において、第2収納部25bから繰出す紙幣が、非対象金種の紙幣である場合、一時保留部17とは別の収納部に紙幣を一時保留してもよい。また、非対象金種の紙幣を一時保留する収納部は、2以上であってもよい。非対象金種の紙幣を一時保留する収納部が2以上の場合、それぞれの収納部に、特定の金種(予め決められた金種)の紙幣を一時保留してもよい。一時保留情報は、それぞれの収納部毎に作成され更新される。
In the withdrawal process, the control unit 18 may temporarily hold the bill in a storage unit different from the temporary holding unit 17 when the bill to be delivered from the second storage unit 25b is a bill of a non-target denomination. .. Further, the number of storage units for temporarily holding banknotes of non-target denominations may be two or more. When there are two or more storage units for temporarily holding banknotes of non-target denominations, banknotes of a specific denomination (predetermined denomination) may be temporarily held in each storage unit. Temporary hold information is created and updated for each storage unit.
例えば、非対象金種の紙幣を一時保留する収納部を、入金紙幣が収納される第1収納部24a,24bとする。第1収納部24aは、10ユーロ紙幣を一時保留し、第1収納部24bは、20ユーロ紙幣を一時保留する。
For example, the storage units for temporarily holding banknotes of non-target denominations are the first storage units 24a and 24b for storing deposited banknotes. The first storage unit 24a temporarily holds a 10 euro banknote, and the first storage unit 24b temporarily holds a 20 euro banknote.
より具体的には、3種類の金種の紙幣を収納した第2収納部25bから、5ユーロ紙幣2枚と、10ユーロ紙幣2枚とを出金する。最初に出金する金種を5ユーロ紙幣、次に(2番目に)出金する金種を10ユーロ紙幣とする。5ユーロ紙幣が対象金種の紙幣である場合、10ユーロ紙幣と20ユーロ紙幣は非対象金種の紙幣である。制御部18は、第2収納部25bから繰出す紙幣の金種が10ユーロ紙幣の場合、図9の点線の矢印A21に示すように、第2収納部25bから繰出す紙幣を第1収納部24aに搬送する。また、制御部18は、第2収納部25bから繰出す紙幣の金種が20ユーロ紙幣の場合、図9の点線の矢印A22に示すように、第2収納部25bから繰出す紙幣を第1収納部24bに搬送する。また、制御部18は、第2収納部25bから繰出す紙幣の金種が5ユーロ紙幣の場合、図9の矢印A23に示すように、第2収納部25bから繰出す紙幣を出金部13に搬送する。
More specifically, two 5 euro banknotes and two 10 euro banknotes are withdrawn from the second storage section 25b that stores banknotes of three types of denominations. The first withdrawal denomination is a 5 euro banknote, and the second (second) withdrawal denomination is a 10 euro banknote. If the 5 euro banknote is a target denomination note, the 10 euro banknote and the 20 euro banknote are non-target denomination notes. When the denomination of the bill to be delivered from the second storage unit 25b is a 10 euro banknote, the control unit 18 first stores the bill to be delivered from the second storage unit 25b as shown by the dotted arrow A21 in FIG. Transport to 24a. Further, when the denomination of the banknote to be delivered from the second storage unit 25b is a 20 euro banknote, the control unit 18 first delivers the banknote to be delivered from the second storage unit 25b as shown by the dotted arrow A22 in FIG. It is conveyed to the storage unit 24b. Further, when the denomination of the bill to be paid out from the second storage unit 25b is a 5 euro banknote, the control unit 18 delivers the bill to be delivered from the second storage unit 25b to the withdrawal unit 13 as shown by arrow A23 in FIG. Transport to.
制御部18は、出金部13に出金する5ユーロ紙幣が出金枚数(2枚)に達すると、対象金種を10ユーロに変更し、第1収納部24aに一時保留した10ユーロ紙幣を2枚、出金部13に搬送する。制御部18は、1番目の金種の紙幣(5ユーロ紙幣)を出金部13に出金する際、非対象金種の紙幣を、金種に応じて予め決められた第1収納部24a,24bに一時保留する。そのため、制御部18は、2番目の金種の紙幣(10ユーロ紙幣)を出金する際、2番目の金種の紙幣を一時保留した第1収納部24a,24b(10ユーロ紙幣を一時保留した第1収納部24a)から、2番目の金種の紙幣を出金すればよい。これにより、制御部18は、出金処理の効率を向上できる。
When the number of 5 euro banknotes to be withdrawn to the withdrawal unit 13 reaches the number of withdrawals (2), the control unit 18 changes the target denomination to 10 euros and temporarily holds the 10 euro banknotes in the first storage unit 24a. Is transported to the withdrawal unit 13. When the control unit 18 withdraws the banknotes of the first denomination (5 euro banknotes) to the withdrawal unit 13, the banknotes of the non-target denomination are stored in the first storage unit 24a determined in advance according to the denomination. , 24b is temporarily suspended. Therefore, when the control unit 18 withdraws the banknote of the second denomination (10 euro banknote), the control unit 18 temporarily holds the first storage units 24a and 24b (temporarily hold the 10 euro banknote) of the second denomination banknote. The banknotes of the second denomination may be withdrawn from the first storage unit 24a). As a result, the control unit 18 can improve the efficiency of the withdrawal process.
このように、貨幣処理装置1の制御部18は、第2収納部25bから繰り出される紙幣を金種に応じて、第1収納部24a,24bのいずれかに搬送する制御を行う。これにより、制御部18は、特定の金種の紙幣を出金部13に出金するとき、第1収納部24a,24bのいずれかからまとめて出金でき、搬送効率を向上できる。
In this way, the control unit 18 of the money processing device 1 controls to transport the banknotes to be paid out from the second storage unit 25b to either the first storage unit 24a or 24b according to the denomination. As a result, when the control unit 18 withdraws the banknotes of a specific denomination to the withdrawal unit 13, the control unit 18 can collectively withdraw from any of the first storage units 24a and 24b, and the transport efficiency can be improved.
[変形例1]
第1収納部24a,24bは、入金処理において入金される紙幣を収納する収納部であってもよい。そして、第1収納部24a,24bは、異なる金種の紙幣を収納する第2収納部25bに収納される金種とは異なる、特定の金種の紙幣を収納する収納部であってもよい。 [Modification 1]
The first storage units 24a and 24b may be storage units for storing bills to be deposited in the deposit process. The first storage units 24a and 24b may be storage units for storing banknotes of a specific denomination, which are different from the denominations stored in the second storage unit 25b for storing banknotes of different denominations. ..
第1収納部24a,24bは、入金処理において入金される紙幣を収納する収納部であってもよい。そして、第1収納部24a,24bは、異なる金種の紙幣を収納する第2収納部25bに収納される金種とは異なる、特定の金種の紙幣を収納する収納部であってもよい。 [Modification 1]
The
例えば、第2収納部25bには、5ユーロ紙幣、10ユーロ紙幣、および20ユーロ紙幣が収納される。この場合、第1収納部24aには、5ユーロ紙幣、10ユーロ紙幣、および20ユーロ紙幣以外の、例えば、50ユーロ紙幣が収納されてもよい。第1収納部24bには、5ユーロ紙幣、10ユーロ紙幣、および20ユーロ紙幣以外の、例えば、100ユーロ紙幣が収納されてもよい。
For example, 5 euro banknotes, 10 euro banknotes, and 20 euro banknotes are stored in the second storage unit 25b. In this case, the first storage unit 24a may store, for example, 50 euro banknotes other than the 5 euro banknote, the 10 euro banknote, and the 20 euro banknote. The first storage unit 24b may store, for example, 100 euro banknotes other than 5 euro banknotes, 10 euro banknotes, and 20 euro banknotes.
[変形例2]
制御部18は、出金処理を終了し、第1収納部24a,24bに一時保留された紙幣を第2収納部25に戻すとき、第1収納部24aの紙幣をまとめて第2収納部25に戻し、第1収納部24bの紙幣をまとめて第2収納部25に戻してもよい。また、制御部18は、第1収納部24a,24bに一時保留された紙幣を第2収納部25に戻すとき、第1収納部24aに一時保留された紙幣と、第1収納部24bに一時保留された紙幣とを交互に、第2収納部25に戻してもよい。 [Modification 2]
When thecontrol unit 18 finishes the withdrawal process and returns the banknotes temporarily held in the first storage units 24a and 24b to the second storage unit 25, the control unit 18 collectively collects the banknotes in the first storage unit 24a and the second storage unit 25. The bills of the first storage unit 24b may be collectively returned to the second storage unit 25. Further, when the control unit 18 returns the banknotes temporarily held in the first storage units 24a and 24b to the second storage unit 25, the control unit 18 temporarily holds the banknotes temporarily held in the first storage unit 24a and the first storage unit 24b. The held banknotes may be alternately returned to the second storage unit 25.
制御部18は、出金処理を終了し、第1収納部24a,24bに一時保留された紙幣を第2収納部25に戻すとき、第1収納部24aの紙幣をまとめて第2収納部25に戻し、第1収納部24bの紙幣をまとめて第2収納部25に戻してもよい。また、制御部18は、第1収納部24a,24bに一時保留された紙幣を第2収納部25に戻すとき、第1収納部24aに一時保留された紙幣と、第1収納部24bに一時保留された紙幣とを交互に、第2収納部25に戻してもよい。 [Modification 2]
