Then, the stage 121 of the temporary holding unit 92 is lowered and retracted backward at a high speed, so that the temporarily held banknotes on the stage 121 are dropped as they are and stacked on the stage 135 of the cassette 94 or the stored banknotes. At this time, the temporarily held banknotes are pressed downward by the pressing plate 122 and are reliably stacked. Then, the stage 135 of the cassette 94 is lowered, the shutter 133 is closed, and on the other hand, the stage 121 of the temporary holding unit 92 is returned to wait for the next deposit process.
[0073]
In addition, the coin depositing machine 35 stores the temporarily held coins so that they are sequentially filled from the front cassette on the operation surface 46 side.
[0074]
When the customer gives a return instruction, in the banknote deposit machine 30, the temporary storage unit 93 moves to the frontmost return position, and the pin of the engagement mechanism (not shown) on the banknote return door 32 side is the door body 110. The bill return door 32 is unlocked by the lock mechanism. When the banknote return door 32 is opened by the customer, the door body 110 of the temporary storage unit 93 is integrally opened, and the banknote in the temporary storage unit 92 is taken out. By closing the opened banknote return door 32 and the door body 110, the following processing becomes possible. In addition, the coin depositing machine 35 releases the temporarily reserved coins to the coin return box 36. When the customer pulls the coin return box 36 forward from the machine body 12, the coins in the coin return box 36 are taken out. When the drawn coin return box 36 is returned to the original position, the next processing becomes possible.
[0075]
Next, money collection processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
[0076]
A staff member who performs the collection process unlocks and opens the front doors 44 and 45, and operates the money collection instruction means 152 of the clerk operation unit installed in the machine body 12 to instruct money collection (step 11). ).
[0077]
By the instruction of the money collection instruction means 152, the staff display unit 47 can recognize the cassette 94 in which money is present based on the detection result of the presence / absence detection sensor 138 of each cassette 94 as in the display example shown in FIG. Display (step 12).
[0078]
The clerk display section 47 has a collection cassette display area A1 and a collection content display area A2. The collection cassette display area A1 includes each cassette 94 of the cassette support unit 91 (the same applies to the cassette of the coin depositing machine 35). Corresponding to each loading place, for example, there is a number of cassettes 94 assigned in the order 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 from the front side in the drawing direction, and money is present next to the number of this cassette 94. "◆" mark is displayed to indicate that. In this case, the mark “◆” is displayed on the cassette 94 of numbers 2 and 3 in the banknote deposit machine 30 and on the cassettes of numbers 1 to 3 in the coin deposit machine 35. In the collection content display area A2, the clerk display unit 47 includes the number and amount of banknotes stored in the banknote deposit machine 30, the total amount of banknotes, and the number and amount of coin types and total coins. And a total of these bills and coins are displayed.
[0079]
In addition, by the clerk confirming the storage status of money on the clerk display unit 47, for example, by a confirmation instruction by re-operation of the money collection instruction means 152 of the clerk operation unit (step 13), the receipt printing unit 48 As shown in the print example 6 in FIG. 6, a receipt that can recognize the cassette 94 in which money is present and can confirm the amount of the cassette in which money is present is printed out based on the detection result of the presence / absence detection sensor 138 (step 14).
[0080]
The receipt is printed with the date and time, the number of cassettes to be collected, the grand total, the cassette number to be collected for each bill and coin, the number and amount of money types for each cassette number, and the total.
[0081]
The clerk cuts and receives the receipt issued from the receipt printing unit 48.
[0082]
The clerk pulls the cassette support unit 91 forward from the machine body 12, confirms the clerk display unit 47 and the receipt, and removes and collects only the cassette 94 to be collected containing money.
[0083]
In this way, money is instructed in the clerk display unit 47 based on the detection result of the presence / absence detection sensor 138 that detects the presence / absence of money in each cassette 94 by instructing the money collection instructing means 152 to collect money. Since the receipt 94 can be recognizable and the receipt printing unit 48 prints out a receipt that can recognize the cassette 94 in which money is present, for example, even an inexperienced person other than the administrator of the money depositing machine 11 can collect it. It is possible to easily identify the cassette 94 to be collected, collect only the cassette 94 to be collected, and prevent unnecessary operations such as collecting and transporting the empty cassette 94.
[0084]
Since a receipt on which the amount of the collected cassette 94 is printed can be obtained, the contents of the collection can be grasped, and for example, when a person other than the administrator of the money depositing machine 11 collects it, it can be used as collection evidence.
[0085]
The removed cassette 94 was taken back to the cashier or cash processing center, and after the internal currency was extracted, the empty cassette 94 was loaded into the original place of the money depositing machine 11 or removed. An empty cassette 94 is loaded in the money depositing machine 11 instead of the cassette 94.
[0086]
Each cassette detection switch 137 detects the loading state of all cassettes 94, and the presence / absence detection sensor 138 detects the absence of money in all cassettes 94 (step 15). The journal is printed by the section 49 (step 16), and the money collection process is terminated.
[0087]
As described above, money is present by detecting the loading state of all the cassettes 94 and detecting the absence of money in all the cassettes 94 by causing the control unit 151 to end the money collection process. It is possible to prevent forgetting to collect the cassette 94.
[0088]
In addition, since the journal printing unit 49 takes a recovery record based on the reliable recovery of the cassette 94 in which money is present, it is possible to reliably match the actual recovery with the recovery record.
[0089]
