The bill insertion slot 10 is an opening for receiving bills inside the money processing apparatus 100. The banknote storage 11 stores banknotes inserted into the banknote slot 10, and is a thousand-yen banknote storage 11a that stores thousand-yen banknotes, and a mixed banknote storage 11b that stores banknotes other than thousand-yen banknotes. And. The banknote dispensing port 12 is an opening for dispensing banknotes from the banknote storage 11 to the outside of the money processing apparatus 100.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the banknote unit 1 further includes a depositing unit 14, a dispensing unit 15, a collection box 13, a deposited banknote identifying unit 16, and a withdrawal banknote identifying unit 17. The depositing unit 14 is a part for introducing a bill inserted from the bill insertion slot 10 into the apparatus. The withdrawal unit 15 is a part that feeds out banknotes to the banknote dispensing port 12. The dispensing unit 15 has a storage unit that stores banknotes that are fed out from the banknote storage 11 one by one, and can be withdrawn to the banknote dispensing port 12 after storing the banknotes. The withdrawal unit 15 is provided with a sensor that determines whether or not banknotes are stored in the withdrawal unit 15. The collection | recovery store | warehouse | chamber 13 is a storage store | warehouse | chamber which collect | recovers the banknotes which are not withdrawn as fishing of 10,000 yen bills. The deposited banknote identification means 16 is for detecting the denomination, authenticity, and direction of the banknote that has been deposited, and is composed of a magnetic sensor and an optical sensor. The withdrawal bill identifying means 17 is for detecting the denomination and direction of the bill to be dispensed, and is composed of an optical sensor. The depositing unit 14, the dispensing unit 15, the collection box 13, the deposited banknote identification unit 16, the withdrawal banknote identification unit 17, and the banknote storage unit 11 are connected by a banknote transport mechanism 18.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the coin unit 2 includes a coin insertion slot 21, a coin storage box 22, and a coin dispensing slot 23. The coin insertion slot 21 is an opening for receiving the inserted coin into the coin part 2. The coin storage 22 stores the coins inserted into the coin insertion slot 21 for each denomination. The coin dispensing port 23 is an opening for paying out coins from the coin storage 22 to the outside.

  The notification output unit 3 is a part that performs external output according to the output command when an output command is given from the control unit 30. The notification output unit includes a liquid crystal display that outputs an image, a speaker that outputs sound, and a buzzer.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 30 includes an authenticity determination unit 31, a denomination determination unit 32, a bill orientation determination unit 33, and a notification control unit 34. The authenticity determination unit 31 determines the authenticity of the banknote based on the information detected by the deposited banknote identification means 16. The denomination discriminating unit 32 discriminates the denomination of the banknote based on the information detected by the deposit banknote identification means 16 or the withdrawal banknote identification means 17. The bill direction discriminating unit 33 discriminates the direction of the bill based on the information detected by the deposit bill discriminating means 16 or the withdrawal bill discriminating means 17. When the direction of the banknote to be withdrawn is different from the other banknote to be withdrawn, the notification control unit 34 notifies that via the notification output unit 3.

  The control unit 30 having the above-described configuration may be realized by causing a processing device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) to execute a program, that is, by software, or a hardware such as an IC (Integrated Circuit). It may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by using software and hardware together.

  The money processing apparatus 100 enters a deposit standby state when a deposit instruction is received from the POS register apparatus. A bill inserted into the bill insertion slot 10 in the deposit standby state is detected by an insertion detection sensor (not shown) of the depositing unit 14 and then conveyed to the deposited bill identification means 16 by the bill transport mechanism 18. Here, the authenticity determination unit 31 determines the authenticity of the banknote based on the detection result of the deposited banknote identification means 16. The denomination discriminating unit 32 discriminates the denomination of the banknote based on the detection result of the deposited banknote identification means 16. Moreover, the banknote direction discrimination | determination part 33 may discriminate | determine the direction of a banknote based on the detection result of the money_receiving | payment banknote identification means 16. FIG. The control unit 30 counts the number of each bill type based on the detection result of the deposited bill identifying means 16. Here, when it is determined that the banknote is fake, the banknote transport mechanism 18 returns the banknote to the depositing unit 14. On the other hand, when it is determined that the banknote is not a fake, the banknote is transported and stored in the banknote storage 11 corresponding to the denomination by the banknote transport mechanism 18 based on the determination result of the denomination determining unit 32. The The control unit 30 performs the above-described processing for all inserted bills.

  The control part 30 discriminate | determines and counts the money thrown into the coin insertion slot 21 in a money_receiving | payment waiting state for every money type, and stores it in the coin storage 22 provided for every money type. The control unit 30 notifies the POS register of the sum of the amount inserted into the coin insertion slot 21 and the amount inserted into the bill insertion slot 10.

  On the other hand, when there is a withdrawal instruction, the banknote transport mechanism 18 takes out the corresponding denomination banknotes from the banknote storage 11 and transports them one by one to the withdrawal banknote identification means 17. Here, when the conveyed banknote is a thousand yen bill, the banknote orientation determination unit 33 determines the orientation of the banknote based on the detection result of the withdrawal banknote identification means 17. When the direction of the banknote is different from other banknotes to be withdrawn, the notification control unit 34 notifies that via the notification output unit 3. The banknotes that have been determined are collected by the banknote transport mechanism 18 or withdrawn from the banknote dispensing port 12 via the withdrawal section 15. When the withdrawal instruction is 5,000 yen bills, the type of the banknotes taken out from the mixed banknote storage 11b is identified by the withdrawal banknote identifying means 17 and the denomination determining unit 32. . As a result, when the banknote being conveyed is a 5,000-yen bill, the direction is determined by the banknote orientation determining unit 33 as in the case of a thousand-yen bill, and notification is given when the direction is different from other banknotes to be withdrawn. . Further, the banknotes are stored in the withdrawal unit 15 or are withdrawn from the banknote withdrawal port 12 via the withdrawal unit 15. When the bills that have been transported are 10,000 yen bills, the bills are transported and stored in the collection box 13 by the bill transport mechanism 18. The banknotes stored in the withdrawal unit 15 are withdrawn when the number of banknotes to be withdrawn reaches the change, or banknotes with different orientations are withdrawn from other banknotes. The control unit 30 performs the above-described processing until the amount to be withdrawn as change is reached. Similarly, the coin unit 2 determines the denomination and the number of coins to be dispensed based on the withdrawal instruction, and dispenses change from the storage 22.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the contents of the bill-for-notification dispensing process executed by the control unit 30 when a withdrawal instruction is received. Hereinafter, operation | movement of the control part 30 is demonstrated, referring a flowchart.

  The control unit 30 monitors whether the banknote to be withdrawn has been conveyed to the withdrawn banknote identification means 17 (step S98). The control part 30 continues monitoring, when the banknote withdrawn has not been conveyed by the withdrawal banknote identification means 17 (step S98, No). When the banknote to be withdrawn has been conveyed to the withdrawn banknote identification means 17 (step S98, Yes), the control unit 30 determines whether or not banknotes are stored in the withdrawal unit 15 (step S99). When the banknotes are not stored in the dispensing unit 15 (No at Step S99), the control unit 30 determines the direction (front and back, top and bottom) of the conveyed banknotes by using the banknote direction determination unit 33 and stores it in the storage unit 40. (Step S100). Thereafter, the control unit 30 conveys the banknotes to the withdrawal unit 15 and increments the withdrawal counter by 1 (step S102). The withdrawal counter counts the number of banknotes sent to the withdrawal unit 15 and is stored in the storage unit 40. The banknotes are stored in the withdrawal unit 15. In addition, when banknotes are stored in the dispensing unit 15 (step S99, Yes), the control unit 30 does the direction of the conveyed banknotes matches the direction of banknotes stored in the storage unit 40. It discriminate | determines by the banknote orientation discrimination | determination part 33 (step S101).

  When the direction of the conveyed banknote matches the direction of the banknote stored in the storage unit 40 (step S101, Yes), the control unit 30 conveys the banknote to the withdrawal unit 15 and withdraws money. The counter is incremented by 1 (step S102). The banknotes are stored in the withdrawal unit 15. Thereafter, the control unit 30 refers to the withdrawal counter to determine whether or not the number of banknotes sent to the withdrawal unit 15 has reached the number of banknotes to be dispensed this time (step S103).

  When the number of banknotes conveyed to the dispensing unit 15 has not reached the number of banknotes to be dispensed this time (No at Step S103), the control unit 30 returns to Step S98. When the number of banknotes conveyed to the withdrawal unit 15 has reached the number of banknotes to be dispensed this time (step S103, Yes), the control unit 30 removes the banknotes stored in the withdrawal unit 15 from the banknote withdrawal port. Withdrawing money from 12, the withdrawal counter is set to 0 (step S104), and the current process is terminated. Since the operator of the money processing apparatus 100 has dispensed without being notified, it can be seen that the direction of the banknotes to be dispensed is the same, and the labor for confirming the direction of the banknotes can be saved.

  When the direction of the banknote that has been conveyed does not match the direction of the banknote that is stored in the storage unit 40 (step S101, No), the control unit 30 determines the direction of the banknote that has been conveyed to the dispensing unit 15. The notification control unit 34 notifies that the direction of the accumulated other banknotes does not coincide with the notification output unit 3 (step S105). Subsequently, the control unit 30 withdraws the conveyed banknotes to the banknote dispensing port 12 via the dispensing unit 15 and adds 1 to the withdrawal counter (step S106). At this time, if there is a banknote in the withdrawal unit 15, it is withdrawn together with the banknote that has been conveyed.

  When there are a plurality of banknotes to be withdrawn, the operator of the money processing apparatus 100 is notified of the banknotes that have passed through the withdrawal unit 15 among the banknotes to be withdrawn. It can be seen that this is different from the above, and it is possible to save the trouble of checking the direction of the banknote. At this time, since only the direction of the banknote that has finally passed through the dispensing unit 15 needs to be aligned, the operator of the money processing apparatus 100 can easily align the direction of the banknote.

  Thereafter, the control unit 30 refers to the withdrawal counter to determine whether or not the number of banknotes sent to the withdrawal unit 15 has reached the number of banknotes to be dispensed this time (step S107). When the number of banknotes conveyed to the withdrawal unit 15 has reached the number of banknotes to be dispensed this time (step S107, Yes), the control unit 30 sets the withdrawal counter to 0 (step S108). The process ends.

  When the number of banknotes conveyed to the withdrawal unit 15 has not reached the number of banknotes to be withdrawn this time (step S107, No), the control unit 30 has withdrawn the banknotes withdrawn from the banknote withdrawal port 12. Whether or not is monitored (step S109). When the dispensed banknote is not extracted (step S109, No), the control unit 30 continues monitoring as it is (step S109). The withdrawal process is suspended. When the dispensed banknote is extracted (step S109, Yes), the control unit 30 returns to step S98.

  When there are a plurality of banknotes to be withdrawn, this money processing apparatus 100 informs that when there are banknotes with different orientations from other banknotes in the banknotes to be withdrawn. The operator of the processing apparatus 100 can save the trouble of confirming the direction of banknotes one by one. Moreover, the trouble of aligning the direction of banknotes when depositing can be saved. Therefore, the burden on the operator of the money processing apparatus 100 can be reduced. In addition, since the money processing apparatus 100 stops the dispensing process every time a banknote with a different direction is conveyed and the banknote is not taken out, the operator maintains the state of the banknote to be dispensed. The direction can be easily aligned.

  In the above-described embodiment, each time a banknote with a different orientation is conveyed, the withdrawal is performed by temporarily withdrawing the banknote. However, as in the second embodiment of the banknote notification withdrawal process shown in FIG. It is also possible to withdraw after all the banknotes to be withdrawn have been collected. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a second embodiment of the bill notification / withdrawal process. Hereinafter, operation | movement of the control part 30 is demonstrated, referring a flowchart.

  The control unit 30 monitors whether the banknote to be withdrawn has been conveyed to the withdrawn banknote identification means 17 (step S198). The control part 30 continues monitoring, when the banknote withdrawn has not been conveyed by the withdrawal banknote identification means 17 (step S198, No). When the banknote to be withdrawn has been transported to the withdrawal banknote identification means 17 (step S198, Yes), the control unit 30 determines whether or not banknotes are stored in the withdrawal part 15 ( Step S199). When the banknotes are not accumulated in the dispensing unit 15 (No at Step S199), the control unit 30 determines the direction of the conveyed banknotes by the banknote orientation determination unit 33 and stores it in the storage unit 40 (Step S200). ). Thereafter, the control unit 30 conveys the banknote to the withdrawal unit 15 and adds 1 to the withdrawal counter (step S203). The banknotes are collected in the withdrawal unit 15 without being withdrawn. Further, when banknotes are stored in the dispensing unit 15 (step S199, Yes), whether the direction of the conveyed banknotes matches the direction of the banknotes stored in the storage unit 40 or the banknote direction determination unit 33. (Step S201).

  When the direction of the banknote that has been conveyed does not match the direction of the banknote that is stored in the storage unit 40 (step S201, No), the control unit 30 stores the direction of the banknote that has been conveyed in the storage unit 40. It is memorized in storage part 40 that it is not in agreement with the direction of the bill currently made (Step S202). Thereafter, the control unit 30 conveys the banknote to the withdrawal unit 15 and adds 1 to the withdrawal counter (step S203). The banknotes are collected in the withdrawal unit 15 without being withdrawn.

  The control unit 30 also transports the banknotes to the dispensing unit 15 when the direction of the banknotes that have been transported matches the direction of the banknotes stored in the storage unit 40 (Yes in step S201). 1 is added to the gold counter (step S203). The banknotes are collected in the withdrawal unit 15 without being withdrawn. Thereafter, the control unit 30 refers to the withdrawal counter and determines whether or not the number of banknotes conveyed to the withdrawal unit 15 has reached the number of banknotes to be dispensed this time (step S204). When the number of banknotes conveyed to the dispensing unit 15 has not reached the number of banknotes to be dispensed this time (step S204, No), the control unit 30 returns to step S198.

  When the number of banknotes conveyed to the withdrawal unit 15 has reached the number of banknotes to be dispensed this time (step S204, Yes), the control unit 30 refers to the storage unit 40 and includes the banknotes to be dispensed this time. It is determined whether or not there is a bill whose direction is different from that of other bills (step S205). When there is a banknote with a different orientation from other banknotes in the banknote to be withdrawn this time (step S205, Yes), the control unit 30 has a banknote with a different orientation from other banknotes in the banknote to be withdrawn this time. This is notified through the notification output unit 3 by the notification control unit 34 (step S206). At this time, it may be displayed how many bills have different orientations. Thereafter, the control unit 30 withdraws the banknote in the withdrawal unit 15 to the banknote dispensing port 12 and sets the withdrawal counter to 0 (step S207). The control unit 30 ends the current process. The operator of the money processing apparatus 100 can know from the notification that the banknotes to be dispensed include banknotes whose directions are different from those of other banknotes, and can save time and effort for confirming the direction of the banknotes.

  Even when there is no banknote whose direction is different from that of other banknotes in the banknote to be withdrawn this time (step S205, No), the control unit 30 withdraws the banknote in the withdrawal unit 15 to the banknote dispensing port 12. At the same time, the withdrawal counter is set to 0 (step S207). Thereafter, the control unit 30 ends the current process. In this case, since the operator of the money processing apparatus 100 is not informed of anything, it can be understood that the directions of the banknotes to be dispensed are all the same, and the trouble of confirming the direction of the banknotes can be saved.

  Since the money processing apparatus 100 of this embodiment collects and discharges the banknotes to be withdrawn, the withdrawal of the banknotes every time a banknote with a different direction is conveyed and temporarily stops the withdrawal process. Compared to the form, it is possible to withdraw quickly.

  In the above-described embodiment, when a banknote to be withdrawn includes a banknote whose direction is different from that of other banknotes, the fact is notified, but the banknote informing / dispensing process shown in FIG. You may make it alert | report that when the direction of a banknote is a different direction from the predetermined direction like 3rd embodiment. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a third embodiment of the banknote notification dispensing process. Hereinafter, operation | movement of the control part 30 is demonstrated, referring a flowchart.

  The control unit 30 monitors whether the banknote to be dispensed has been conveyed to the dispensed banknote identification means 17 (step S300). The control part 30 continues monitoring, when the banknote withdrawn has not been conveyed by the withdrawal banknote identification means 17 (step S300, No). When the banknote to be withdrawn has been conveyed to the withdrawn banknote identification means 17 (step S300, Yes), the control unit 30 determines whether the direction of the conveyed banknote matches a predetermined direction. It discriminate | determines by the discrimination | determination part 33 (step S301).

  When the direction of the conveyed banknote matches the predetermined direction (step S301, Yes), the control unit 30 transports the banknote to the withdrawal unit 15 and adds 1 to the withdrawal counter ( Step S302). The withdrawal counter counts the number of banknotes sent to the withdrawal unit 15 and is stored in the storage unit 40. The banknotes are stored in the withdrawal unit 15. Thereafter, the control unit 30 refers to the withdrawal counter to determine whether or not the number of banknotes sent to the withdrawal unit 15 has reached the number of banknotes to be dispensed this time (step S303).

  When the number of banknotes conveyed to the dispensing unit 15 has not reached the number of banknotes to be dispensed this time (No at Step S303), the control unit 30 returns to Step S300. When the number of banknotes conveyed to the withdrawal unit 15 has reached the number of banknotes to be dispensed this time (step S303, Yes), the control unit 30 removes the banknotes stored in the withdrawal unit 15 from the banknote withdrawal port. Withdrawing money from 12, the withdrawal counter is set to 0 (step S304), and the current process is terminated. Since the operator of the money processing apparatus 100 has withdrawn without any notification, it can be seen that the direction of the banknote to be dispensed is the same as the predetermined direction, and the trouble of confirming the direction of the banknote is troublesome. It can be omitted.

  When the direction of the conveyed banknote does not match the predetermined direction (step S301, No), the control unit 30 does not match the predetermined direction of the conveyed banknote. Is notified by the notification control unit 34 via the notification output unit 3 (step S305). Subsequently, the control unit 30 withdraws the conveyed banknote to the banknote dispensing port 12 via the dispensing unit 15 and adds 1 to the withdrawal counter (step S306). At this time, if there is a banknote in the withdrawal unit 15, it is withdrawn together with the banknote that has been conveyed.

  The operator of the money processing apparatus 100 can know from the notification that the direction of the banknote to be dispensed is different from the predetermined direction, and can save the trouble of confirming the direction of the banknote. Even when there are a plurality of banknotes to be withdrawn, it is only necessary to align the direction of the banknote that has finally passed through the withdrawal unit 15, so the operator of the money processing apparatus 100 can easily align the direction of the banknote. it can.

  Thereafter, the control unit 30 refers to the withdrawal counter to determine whether or not the number of banknotes sent to the withdrawal unit 15 has reached the number of banknotes to be dispensed this time (step S307). When the number of banknotes conveyed to the withdrawal unit 15 has reached the number of banknotes to be dispensed this time (step S307, Yes), the control unit 30 sets the withdrawal counter to 0 (step S308), The process ends.

  When the number of banknotes conveyed to the dispensing unit 15 has not reached the number of banknotes to be withdrawn this time (step S307, No), the control unit 30 has withdrawn the banknotes withdrawn from the banknote dispensing port 12. Whether or not is monitored (step S309). If the dispensed banknote has not been extracted (step S309, No), the control unit 30 continues monitoring as it is (step S309). The withdrawal process is suspended. When the dispensed banknote is extracted (step S309, Yes), the control unit 30 returns to step S300.

  Since this money processing apparatus 100 alert | reports when the direction of the banknote withdrawn at the time of payment differs from the direction determined beforehand, the operator of the money processing apparatus 100 sets the direction of 1 banknote. The trouble of checking one sheet can be saved. Moreover, the trouble of aligning the direction of banknotes when depositing can be saved. Therefore, the burden on the operator of the money processing apparatus 100 can be reduced. In addition, since the money processing apparatus 100 stops the dispensing process every time a banknote with a different direction is conveyed and the banknote is not taken out, the operator maintains the state of the banknote to be dispensed. The direction can be easily aligned.

  In the above-described embodiment, the manner of notification when the banknote to be dispensed has a banknote whose direction is different from that of other banknotes is either display, buzzer, or audio output, but these are combinations. Also good. In the above-described embodiment, the notification control unit 34 performs notification through the notification output unit 3, but may perform notification through an external notification unit such as an external display terminal or an external buzzer. .

  In the above-described embodiment, the bill direction discriminating unit 33 discriminates the direction of the bill based on the signal sent from the withdrawn bill discriminating means 17. The direction of the banknote is determined based on the received signal, the direction of the banknote at the time of depositing and the identification number are stored in the storage unit 40, and the money is withdrawn based on the information at the time of withdrawal. May be determined. Although the money processing apparatus 100 includes the coin part 2, only the banknote part 1 may be used.

  The money processing apparatus 100 may notify that when the direction of banknotes is aligned at the time of withdrawal. In the above-described embodiment, when a banknote to be withdrawn has a banknote in a direction different from that of other banknotes, the banknote is withdrawn from the banknote. You may also withdraw money at the same time as the notification.

  In the above-described embodiment, the direction of the banknote is identified by the withdrawal banknote identification means 17 at the time of withdrawal, but the direction of the banknote may be identified by the deposited banknote identification means 16 at the time of withdrawal. The deposited banknote identifying means 16 and the withdrawal banknote identifying means 17 may be combined into one by changing the transport path of the banknote transport mechanism 18. The banknotes to be withdrawn are withdrawn after being accumulated in the withdrawal unit 15, but they may be withdrawn from the banknote withdrawal port 12 one by one. In that case, it is good to make it possible to collect a banknote so that it can be extracted at the banknote dispensing port 12.
