Description

  The present invention relates to a banknote processing apparatus and a banknote processing method for binding banknotes taken into a machine body by a binding unit.

  Conventionally, as a banknote processing machine for identifying banknotes taken into the machine body by an identification unit, conveying the identified banknotes to a storage unit and storing them, and then binding the banknotes stored in the storage unit by a binding unit For example, what is disclosed in Patent Document 1 is known. In such a banknote handling machine, after the banknotes are stored in the storage section or the banknotes are bundled by the binding section, when the deposit amount is different or an error or the like occurs, The customer may be required to return the actual bills that have been inserted. Each time processing of one transaction is completed, it is easy to return the actual product by performing sequential processing for taking out all the bills remaining in the bill processing machine. However, this sequential processing is not efficient because it takes time to take out the banknotes and increases the number of banknotes that are taken out without being bundled. Therefore, there is a desire to perform a continuous process in which the banknotes left in the body of the banknote processing machine are left without being taken out and a next transaction is performed as it is even after one process is completed.

  However, when this continuous processing is performed, when the customer requests the return of the actual banknotes inserted into the body of the banknote processing machine, the banknotes sent to the storage unit in the previous transaction and the current transaction Therefore, it is necessary to reliably distinguish the bills sent to the storage unit. This is because the banknote sent to the storage unit in the current transaction must be returned to the customer, but the banknote sent to the storage unit in the previous transaction does not need to be returned to the customer. Also, in some cases, when returning the actual banknotes inserted into the banknote processing machine to the customer, the customer is informed that the actual banknotes are the banknotes sent to the storage unit during this transaction. Sometimes you have to prove it.

As shown in FIG. 4, the serial number of the last banknote in the previously performed transaction in each of the two bundled banknote storage units 20 and 22 is displayed on the display unit 42 as a “banknote number”. In the display screen in FIG. 4, the bundled banknote storage unit 20 corresponds to the “bundled banknote storage unit 1”, and the bundled banknote storage unit 22 corresponds to the “bundled banknote storage unit 2”. . In this way, the serial number of the last banknote in the previously executed transaction in each of the two bundled banknote storage units 20 and 22 is displayed on the display unit 42, so that for each bundled banknote in the previous transaction. The banknotes sent to the storage units 20 and 22 can be reliably distinguished from the banknotes sent to the bundled banknote storage units 20 and 22 in the current transaction. Thus, even when the customer requests the return of the actual banknotes inserted into the machine body in the current transaction, the operator opens the cover (not shown), so that each bundled banknote storage unit 20, All the banknotes stored in 22 are respectively taken out from the machine body, and by referring to the serial numbers of the last banknotes displayed in the display unit 42 for the taken banknotes, By distinguishing between the banknotes sent to the bundled banknote storage units 20 and 22 in the transaction and the banknotes sent to the bundled banknote storage units 20 and 22 in the current transaction, the customer's request is surely met. Will be able to.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, in addition to the serial number of the last banknote in the transaction performed previously among the banknotes sent to each accommodating part 20 and 22 for bundled banknotes on the display part 42, this The denomination and direction of the banknote (here, the direction of the banknote refers to a combination of the front and back of the banknote and the vertical direction, and are indicated by alphabets A to D) are also displayed. Also, as shown in FIG. 4, the display unit 42 displays the end time of the previously performed transaction as “processing time”. Here, the “end time of the previously performed transaction” means that the banknotes taken into the machine body in the previously performed transaction are the bundled banknote storage units 20, 22 and the individual banknote storage units 30. , 32, and the time when the operator presses the “confirmation key” on the operation unit 44. In this way, the control unit 40 outputs information related to the processing time of banknotes by the banknote processing apparatus 10 in each transaction in association with each transaction.

  Moreover, the control part 40 outputs additionally the number of the banknotes in the transaction performed previously, and the number of the banknotes in the transaction performed later among the banknotes sent to each accommodating part 20 and 22 for bundled banknotes, respectively. You may come to do. Information relating to the number of banknotes in a previously performed transaction and the number of banknotes in a subsequent transaction output by the control unit 40 is displayed on the display unit 42 or printed on a receipt by the printing unit 46. Or stored in the storage unit 48. Moreover, even if the information relating to the number of banknotes in a previously performed transaction or the number of banknotes in a subsequent transaction output by the control unit 40 is transmitted to an external device by the interface 50. Good. In FIG. 4, information related to the number of banknotes in a previously performed transaction output by the control unit 40 is “previous number”, and information related to the number of banknotes in a subsequent transaction is “current number of sheets”. "Is displayed on the display unit 42 for each of the bundled banknote storage units 20 and 22. As a result, the operator can recognize the number of banknotes in the previously performed transaction and the number of banknotes in the subsequently performed transaction, so that it is sent to the bundled banknote storage units 20 and 22 in the previous transaction. The bills that have been sent and the bills sent to the bundled bill storage units 20 and 22 in the current transaction can be more reliably distinguished.

  In addition, the control part 40 outputs additionally the serial number of the 1 or several banknote which continues with the last banknote in the transaction performed previously among the banknotes sent to each accommodating part 20 and 22 for bundled banknotes. You may come to do. Alternatively, the control unit 40 may additionally output serial numbers of all banknotes in the previously performed transaction among the banknotes sent to the bundled banknote storage units 20 and 22. . The information on the serial numbers of one or more banknotes that are output from the control unit 40 and that are continuous with the last banknote in the previously performed transaction and the information on the serial numbers of all banknotes in the previously performed transaction are as follows: They are respectively displayed on the display unit 42, printed on a receipt by the printing unit 46, or stored in the storage unit 48. Moreover, the information of the serial number of the one or several banknotes which were output by the control part 40 and followed with the last banknote in the transaction performed previously, and the serial number information of all the banknotes in the transaction performed previously. May be transmitted to an external device via the interface 50. In the mode in which the control unit 40 outputs only the serial number of the last banknote in the previously performed transaction among the banknotes sent to the bundled banknote storage units 20 and 22 as shown in FIG. When the serial number of the banknote cannot be accurately read by the identification unit 16, the banknote sent to each of the bundled banknote storage units 20 and 22 in the previous transaction and the storage for each bundled banknote in the current transaction There is a possibility that the banknotes sent to the sections 20 and 22 cannot be reliably distinguished. On the other hand, among the banknotes sent to the bundled banknote storage units 20 and 22, the control unit 40 outputs the serial numbers of a plurality of banknotes or the serial numbers of all banknotes in the previously performed transaction. Even if the identification number of the last banknote in the previously executed transaction cannot be accurately read by the identification unit 16, the information on the serial number of other banknotes is referred to in the previous transaction. It becomes possible to reliably distinguish the banknotes sent to the bundled banknote storage units 20 and 22 and the banknotes sent to the bundled banknote storage units 20 and 22 in the current transaction.

  Moreover, when the banknote which concerns on two mutually different transactions is continuously taken in into the body by the taking-in part 12, the control part 40 is 2 among the banknotes sent to each storage part 30 and 32 for loose banknotes. The serial number of the banknote at the boundary of two transactions may be additionally output. More specifically, after one transaction is completed by one operator, when another transaction is performed by another operator, each rose banknote storage unit 30, 32 has been previously performed. The banknotes taken into the machine body by the transaction and the banknotes taken into the machine body by the subsequent transaction are accumulated in a stacked state. At this time, the control unit 40 outputs, for example, the serial number of the last banknote in the previously performed transaction as the serial number of the banknote between the two transactions. Information relating to the serial number of the last banknote in the previously performed transaction output by the control unit 40 is displayed on the display unit 42, printed on a receipt by the printing unit 46, or stored in the storage unit 48. Or Moreover, the information regarding the serial number of the last banknote in the transaction performed previously output by the control part 40 may be transmitted to an external device by the interface 50. Such functions relating to the banknote storage units 30 and 32 can also be applied to an apparatus that does not include the bundled banknote storage units 20 and 22. That is, in the banknote processing apparatus including the take-in unit, the transport unit, the identification unit, and the loose banknote storage unit, the serial number of the banknote at the boundary of two transactions is output among the banknotes sent to the bulk banknote storage unit. Can be.

  In FIG. 4, information related to the serial number of the last banknote in the transaction previously performed among the banknotes sent to the individual banknote storage units 30 and 32 output by the control unit 40 is displayed on the display unit 42. The display screen when it is done is shown. As shown in FIG. 4, the serial number of the last banknote in the previously performed transaction in each of the two separate banknote storage units 30 and 32 is displayed as a “banknote number” on the display unit 42. In the display screen shown in FIG. 4, the loose banknote storage unit 30 corresponds to the “rose banknote storage unit 1”, and the loose banknote storage unit 32 corresponds to the “rose banknote storage unit 2”. . Further, on the display screen in FIG. 4, since the “previous number” in the “separated bill storage unit 2” is 0, banknotes are not conveyed to the separated bill storage unit 32 in the previous transaction. As for the banknote storage unit 32, the serial number of the last banknote in the previously performed transaction is not displayed on the display unit 42. In this way, the serial number of the last banknote in the previously performed transaction in each of the two separate banknote storage units 30 and 32 is displayed on the display unit 42, so that for each individual banknote in the previous transaction. The banknotes sent to the storage units 30 and 32 can be reliably distinguished from the banknotes sent to the individual banknote storage units 30 and 32 in the current transaction.
