technical field

The technology disclosed herein relates to a money handling device that handles money.

Background technique

Until now, money handling devices have been used when handling money in financial institutions and the like. Such a money handling device is disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1 or the like. Patent Document 1 discloses a banknote processing device that determines whether or not banknotes can be deposited based on the recognition result of identifying the banknotes by the recognition unit, and stores the banknotes determined to be depositable in accordance with the currency denominations in a storage unit. The banknotes judged to be unacceptable are withdrawn from the specified outlet as rejected banknotes. And the banknote processing apparatus of patent document 1 draws out money after dividing a rejected banknote into an improper rejected banknote and an appropriate rejected banknote according to the rejection reason. It should be noted that improperly rejected banknotes are rejected banknotes that cannot be properly handled even if they are re-inserted (specifically, rejected banknotes that are identified as counterfeit or defective banknotes as the reason for rejection). Rejected banknotes are rejected banknotes that may be handled appropriately by reinserting them (specifically, rejected banknotes that are rejected due to transport abnormalities such as skewing and chaining).

The specific currency determination condition indicates which banknote (currency) should be determined as a predetermined specific banknote (specific currency). The specific banknotes are banknotes set to be excluded from processing targets. In this example, the specific banknotes are rejected banknotes (rejected currency). The rejected banknotes are banknotes conveyed to a preset reject unit (in this example, the reject stacker 12).

It should be noted that, in this example, the specific currency determination conditions include a first determination condition, a second determination condition and a third determination condition. The banknote corresponding to the reason of complete currency is a specific banknote, and the second judgment condition indicates which currency denomination old version banknote (old version currency) should be determined as a specific banknote, and the third determination condition indicates which currency should be determined Unreadable banknotes of denominations (unreadable currency) are specific banknotes. Unreadable banknotes are banknotes whose codes cannot be read by the identification unit 21 . Specifically, the setting unit 51 has a first judgment table representing the first judgment condition shown in FIG. 4 and a second judgment table showing the second judgment condition and the third judgment condition shown in FIG. 5 .

The first judgment table (first judgment condition) shown in FIG. 4 indicates whether a banknote should be judged as a specific banknote (in this example, a rejected banknote) or should not be judged according to the denomination of the currency and the reason why it does not belong to the complete currency. It is determined that the banknote is a specific banknote (it should be determined as a missing banknote). In addition, in the example of FIG. 4, "RJ" shows a rejected banknote (an example of a specific banknote). For example, in the example of Fig. 4, the banknote whose denomination is "5 yuan" and the reason for not belonging to the complete currency is "hole" is set as "the banknote that should be determined as a specific defective banknote (rejected banknote)". ", set the currency denomination as "RMB 5" and the banknote that does not belong to the complete currency because of "bent edge" as "the banknote that should be determined as a defective banknote (should not be determined as a specific defective banknote (reject banknotes) ) banknotes)".

And, the second determination table (second determination condition) shown in FIG. 5 indicates whether the old banknote should be judged as the specific banknote according to the currency denomination, or should not be judged as the specific banknote (or should be judged as the old banknote). It should be noted that, in the example of Fig. 5, "RJ" indicates that the old banknotes of this currency denomination should be determined as specific banknotes, and "-" indicates that the old banknotes of this currency denomination should not be determined as specific banknotes (should be determined as old banknotes).

And, the second judging table (the third judging condition) shown in Fig. 5 represents according to currency denomination, should judge that unreadable banknote is specific banknote, or should not judge that unreadable banknote is specific banknote (or should be judged as banknotes cannot be read). It should be noted that, in the example of FIG. 5, "RJ" indicates that the unreadable banknote of the denomination of the currency should be determined as a specific banknote, and "-" indicates that the unreadable banknote of the denomination of the currency should not be determined as the specific banknote (Should be judged as unreadable banknotes).

Furthermore, the setting unit 51 is configured to display the setting screen shown in FIG. 6 (setting screen for setting specific currency conditions) on the operation unit 40 (the operation unit 40 also serving as a display unit).

〔Operation status of the banknote processing device〕

Next, the operation of the banknote handling device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 .

<Step ST101>

First, banknotes to be processed are taken into the banknote processing apparatus 1 . Identification section 21 carries out identification process for the banknotes taken in (in this example, identification of currency denomination, complete defect status and old and new versions of banknotes, reading of banknote codes, abnormal transport of banknotes, abnormal size , abnormal denomination of currency and identification of abnormal authenticity). In the banknote processing apparatus 1, the following processes are performed with respect to the banknote which the identification process was performed by the identification part 21 as an object. Specifically, the recognition unit 21, the determination unit 52, and the control unit 53 perform the following processing.

<Step ST102>

The judging part 52 judges whether the conveyance abnormality of the banknote used as a judgment object was recognized by the recognition part 21 or not. When it is recognized in the identification part 21 that the paper currency as the object of judgment is conveyed abnormally, the judging part 52 just determines that the paper currency as the object of judgment is a specific paper currency, and enters step ST401; When the conveyance of a banknote is abnormal, it progresses to step ST103.

<Step ST103>

Next, the judgment part 52 judges whether the size abnormality of the banknote made into the judgment object was recognized by the recognition part 21 or not. When identifying in identifying part 21 when the size of the banknote as judging object is identified as abnormal, judging part 52 just judges that the banknote as judging object is specific banknote, and enters step ST401; When the size of the banknote is abnormal, the process proceeds to step ST104.

<Step ST104>

Next, the determination unit 52 determines whether or not the identification unit 21 recognizes that the denomination and denomination of the banknote to be determined is abnormal. When identifying in identification part 21 as the banknote denomination of judging object abnormality, judging part 52 just judges that the banknote as judging object is specific banknote, and enters step ST401; When the currency denomination of the target banknote is abnormal, it progresses to step ST105.

<Step ST105>

Next, the judging part 52 judges whether authenticity abnormality (namely, a banknote is a counterfeit banknote) of the banknote used as a determination object was recognized by the identification part 21. When the authenticity of the banknote as the object of judgment is identified in the identification part 21 as being abnormal, the determination part 52 just determines that the banknote as the object of determination is a specific banknote, and enters step ST401; When the authenticity of the banknote is abnormal, the judging unit 52 judges that the banknote to be judged is a genuine banknote, and proceeds to step ST106.

<Step ST106, ST107>

Next, the judging part 52 judges whether the banknote used as a judgment object was recognized by the recognition part 21 as a whole banknote (ST106). When the identification part 21 recognizes that the banknote which is a determination object is a perfect banknote, the determination part 52 judges that the banknote which is a determination object is a perfect banknote, and it progresses to step ST201.

When the identification part 21 does not recognize that the banknote as the object of determination is a complete banknote, the determination part 52 is based on the specific currency determination condition set by the setting part 51 and the banknote as the object of determination identified in the identification part 21. The denomination of the denomination of the currency and the reason that it does not belong to the complete currency determine whether the banknote as the object of determination is a specific banknote (ST107). When the banknote as the object of determination is not the banknote that should be determined as the specific banknote, the judging section 52 just determines that the banknote as the object of determination is a defective banknote, and enters step ST201; when the banknote as the object of determination is the banknote that should be determined as the specific banknote Then, the determination unit 52 determines that the banknote to be determined is a specific banknote, and proceeds to step ST401.

<Step ST201, ST202>

After judging in step ST106 (or, step ST107) that the banknote as the object of determination is a complete banknote (or a defective banknote), the judging portion 52 judges whether the banknote as the object of determination is recognized as a new banknote in the identification unit 21 (ST201) . When it is recognized by the identification part 21 that the banknote to be judged is a banknote of new edition, the judgment part 52 judges that the banknote to be judged is a banknote of new edition, and it progresses to step ST301.

When it is not recognized in the recognition unit 21 that the banknote as the object of determination is a new version of the banknote, the determination unit 52 is based on the specific currency determination conditions set by the setting unit 51 and the banknote as the object of determination recognized in the identification unit 21. The denomination of currency and the new and old version of the banknote are used to determine whether the banknote as the object of determination is a specific banknote (ST202). When the banknote as the object of determination is not the banknote that should be determined as the specific banknote, the judging section 52 just determines that the banknote as the object of determination is an old banknote, and enters step ST301; when the banknote as the object of determination is the banknote that should be determined as the specific banknote Then, the determination unit 52 determines that the banknote to be determined is a specific banknote, and proceeds to step ST401.

<Step ST301, ST302>

In step ST201 (or, step ST202), after the banknote as the judgment object is judged to be the new version banknote (or the old version banknote), the judging section 52 just judges whether the code of the banknote as the judgment object can be read in the recognition section 21 (ST301 ). When the code of the banknote to be judged can be read by the recognition unit 21, the judgment unit 52 judges that the banknote to be judged is a readable banknote (a banknote whose code can be read), and proceeds to step ST401.

When the code of the banknote to be judged cannot be read in the recognition part 21, the judgment part 52 is based on the specific currency judgment condition set by the setting part 51 and the identification of the banknote to be judged in the recognition part 21. The denomination of the currency and whether the code of the banknote to be judged can be read in the recognition unit 21, and it is judged whether the banknote to be judged is a specific banknote (ST302). When the paper currency as the judgment object is not the paper currency that should be judged as the specific paper currency, the judging section 52 just judges that the paper currency as the judgment object is an unreadable paper currency (the paper currency that cannot read the code), and enters step ST401; When the banknote is a banknote that should be determined as a specific banknote, the determination unit 52 determines that the banknote to be determined is a specific banknote, and proceeds to step ST401.

<Step ST401>

Next, the control part 53 controls conveyance of the banknote which becomes a judgment object by the conveyance part 30 according to the recognition result of the recognition part 21 and the judgment result of the judgment part 52. In this example, when the judging unit 52 judges that the banknotes to be judged are specific banknotes (in this example, rejected banknotes), the control unit 53 controls the transport of the banknotes by the transport unit 30 so that It is guaranteed that the banknotes to be judged are transported to the reject stacker 12 . And, when it is not determined in the judging section 52 that the banknote as the object of judgment is a specific banknote (in this example, a rejected banknote), the control section 53 controls the transport of the banknote by the transport section 30 so as to ensure the banknote. The banknotes to be judged are conveyed to any one of the first non-binding stacker 13 , the second non-binding stacker 14 , the first binding stacker 15 , and the second binding stacker 16 .

It should be noted that abnormal conveyance judgment (step ST102), abnormal size judgment (step ST103), abnormal currency denomination judgment (step ST104), abnormality judgment of authenticity (step ST105), complete defect judgment (step ST106, ST107) , the old and new version determination (steps ST201, ST202), and the order of readability determination (steps ST301, ST302) are not limited to the order shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, and can be set in any order.

[Concrete example of the operation of the banknote handling device]

Next, the operation of the banknote handling device 1 will be described with a specific example. Here, the types of banknotes are assigned to the reject stacker 12 , the first and second non-binding stackers 13 and 14 , and the first and second binding stackers 15 and 16 as described below.

Reject stacker 12: specific banknotes (rejected banknotes)

1st Non-Bundled Stacking Box 13: Complete Bills of $100

The second non-bundled stacking box 14: banknotes other than 100 yuan

First Bundle Stack Box 15: 100 Yuan Defective Notes

Second Bundle Stack Box 16: 100 Yuan Defective Notes

In addition, in the specific currency determination condition, "the currency denomination is 100 yuan and the reason why it does not belong to the complete currency is the partial tape and the banknote with the entire surface tape" and "the currency denomination is 50 yuan and the reason why it does not belong to the complete currency is Banknotes with partial tape and full-surface tape" are set as "banknotes that should be determined as specific banknotes (rejected banknotes)", and banknotes other than the above two banknotes are set as "banknotes that should be determined as missing banknotes".

At this point, the complete banknotes of 100 yuan are transported to the first non-bundling stacker 13 and accumulated. A 100-yen taped banknote (a banknote with tape attached to a part or the entire surface) is determined as a specific banknote (rejected banknote) by the determination unit 52 . Since the specific currency is not subject to the counting process, sorting process, and bundling process, it is sent to the reject stacker 12 and returned. Defective banknotes different from 100-yuan adhesive-tape banknotes (not belonging to complete currency due to local adhesive tape and 100-yuan defective banknotes with full-surface adhesive tape) are judged to be defective banknotes in the judging section 52, and are then conveyed to the first bundling banknote. The stacking box 15 (or, the second bundling stacking box 16) is accumulated.

And, the complete banknote of 50 yuan is transported in the second non-bundling stacking box 14 and accumulates. In the determination part 52, the tape banknote of 50 yuan is determined as a specific banknote (rejection banknote). Since the specific currency is not subject to the counting process, sorting process, and bundling process, it is sent to the reject stacker 12 and returned. In the judging section 52, defective banknotes different from 50-yuan adhesive tape banknotes (not belonging to complete currency because of partial adhesive tape and 50-yuan defective banknotes with full-surface adhesive tape) are judged as defective banknotes, and are then conveyed to the second banknote. Stacked in non-bundling stacking boxes 14.

As described above, 100-yen and 50-yen taped banknotes can be set as banknotes not to be processed, and defective banknotes different from 100-yen and 50-yen taped banknotes can be set as processing-targeted banknotes. That is, the control unit 53 is configured to: control the transport of the banknotes by the transport unit 30, so as to ensure that the banknotes determined as defective in the determination unit 52 (specifically, the denomination of the corresponding currency and the currency of the specific banknote) banknotes of the same denomination and corresponding defective banknotes whose reasons for not being a complete currency are different from those corresponding to a specific currency for not being a complete currency) are transported to the transport destination of the specific banknote (in this example, Rejected stacker 12) different predetermined delivery destination (in this example, any one of the second non-bundled stacker 14, the first bundled stacker 15, and the second bundled stacker 16) , wherein, the reason why the defective banknote does not belong to the complete currency is different from the reason why the specific banknote does not belong to the complete currency.

[Effects of the first embodiment]

As mentioned above, by judging whether the banknote is a predetermined specific banknote according to the specific currency determination condition and the denomination of the banknote recognized in the identification part 21 and the reason that it does not belong to the complete currency, it can be determined according to the denomination and denomination of the currency. The reason of belonging to the complete currency sets the processing of the specific banknote (whether the banknote is treated as a predetermined specific banknote), wherein the specific currency determination condition includes: indicating whether it should be determined which currency denomination is not a complete banknote The banknote corresponding to the reason of currency is the first determination condition of the specific banknote. For example, banknotes with a large denomination in the denomination of the currency and do not belong to the complete currency can be treated as specific banknotes (for example, rejected banknotes) because of local tape or full-face tape (high-denomination tape banknotes), while for currency types A banknote with a small denomination in the denomination will be treated as a defective banknote even if the reason for the banknote not being a complete currency is partial tape or full-face tape. Therefore, the degree of freedom of setting of banknote processing can be improved.

And, by treating the specific banknote as a banknote that is set as a banknote other than the object of processing (for example, a banknote that is not an object of counting processing, sorting processing, and binding processing, in this example, a banknote that is rejected), it is possible to The processing of the specific banknote is made to be the same as the processing of the banknotes set to be excluded from the processing target.

And, the transport of the banknotes by the transport unit 30 is controlled so that the banknotes judged to be defective banknotes in the judging unit 52 are transported to a predetermined banknote different from the reject stacker 12 (an example of the reject unit). The delivery destination, wherein the reason for not belonging to the intact currency corresponding to the defective banknote is different from the reason corresponding to the specific banknote not belonging to the intact currency, so that the processing of the specific banknote can be set to be different from the processing of the defective banknote deal with.

And, by judging whether the banknote is a specific banknote according to the specific currency determination condition and the currency denomination and the new and old version of the banknote recognized in the identification part 21, it is possible to set the banknote according to the denomination of each currency and the new and old version. The processing of the specific currency judging condition includes: a second judging condition indicating whether an old-version banknote of which currency denomination should be determined as the specific banknote. Therefore, the degree of freedom of setting of banknote processing can be further improved.

And, by determining whether the banknote is a specific banknote according to the specific currency determination condition, the currency denomination of the banknote recognized in the identification part 21, and whether the code of the banknote can be read in the identification part 21, it is possible to determine whether the banknote is a specific banknote according to the currency denomination. And whether the code of the banknote can be read to set the banknote, wherein the specific currency determination condition includes: a third determination condition indicating whether the unreadable banknote of which currency denomination should be determined as the specific banknote. Therefore, the degree of freedom of setting of banknote processing can be further improved.

And since the rejection stacker 12 (an example of a rejection part) comprises the storage part for banknotes, a specific banknote (rejection banknote) can be accommodated in a storage part.

Furthermore, by providing the setting unit 51 configured to set the specific currency determination condition, it is possible to arbitrarily set the specific currency determination condition. Therefore, the degree of freedom of setting of banknote processing can be further improved.
