Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] This invention accepts and automatically detects cash such as banknotes,
The present invention also relates to a cash sorting and counting machine that sorts and counts cash.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Conventionally, in this type of cash sorting and tallying machine, the count input is stored in a buffer, and when counting is completed, the count result of the buffer is added to the cumulative total area, and when the buffer is open, the machine It was now possible to manually enter cash data that is impossible to count. Due to the nature of the process, manual input was not possible during counting and had to be entered after counting was completed, which was a huge waste of processing time.

[Purpose of the invention]

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to make a cash sorting and aggregation machine that can perform manual input using the waiting time during counting, thereby reducing the processing time required for operation. Our goal is to provide the following.

[Summary of the invention]

This invention uses the results of inspection and counting as a counting tool.

Stores in the puffer memory section the manual input results from the manual input operation section for inputting data on the number of denominations or amount of cash that is not mechanically inspected and counted, in the manual puffer memory section;
The results of these additions are stored in total.

FIG. 6 shows the entire electrical circuit.

That is, the control unit 100 determines the number of processed banknotes P for each denomination and the total number based on signals indicating the denomination, authenticity, front and back, and account numbers supplied from the detection unit 15. is stored in the count storage area in the storage unit (cumulative storage unit) 101. Further, the control unit 100 receives manual input data from the operation unit 6, that is, 10
Count 1 when there are 0 pieces. The number of denominations of each K denomination, such as denomination banknotes, non-removable banknotes, and checks, as well as the total number of denominations, are stored in the manual input storage area in the storage unit 101. Further, the control unit 100 stores data for each denomination and the total number of denominations obtained by summing up the manual input data and the counting processing data in the cumulative storage area. Each area of the storage section 101 is a trap as shown in FIG. Further, the control unit 100 converts the operating status of the equipment, such as a change in the equipment status, information on the occurrence of an abnormality, and the time of occurrence, into an error code, and causes the printer 02 to issue a journal containing the operating status. Further, the control section 100 controls a mechanism control section 103 that drives the internal mechanism.

Next, the operation of such a configuration will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

For example, now, the operator sets the mode designation switch 21 to the operator mode, and then puts the cash and a plurality of bills P (1st to 1st) in the input slot 6 in the direction of 4111 in a standing position. and then press the counting start key 23. Then, the control section 100 drives the mechanism control section 103 and lights up the counting start key 23. Thereby, the banknote P is conveyed to the detection unit 15 on the longitudinal conveyance path 9, and the detection unit 16 detects the denomination, authenticity, and defect of the banknote P that has been conveyed. As a result, the banknotes P are stored in separate temporary storage units 1 for each denomination according to the result of amount determination.
・It is classified into Further, the denomination signal of the detector 15 is outputted to the corresponding adder 1111e for each denomination. As a result, the number of -10,000 yen notes is calculated by the adder 1111.
The number of sheets for the same volume of 1,000 yen is added in the adder 1113 and stored in the sheet number memo I) 112H.
J12. The number of 1,000 yen notes is added by an adder J1j and stored in the number memory 112s, and the number of 1'□ notes for a 500 yen note is added by an adder 1114 and stored in the number memory 1124. be done.

Further, when the Iltl section number division input key 25 is pressed after pressing the counting start key 23, the mode becomes manual input mode. Next, the user inserts the number of cash into the numeric keypad 22 and specifies the denomination using the denomination designation key 27. As a result, the number of sheets for the -10,000 yen note is added up by the adder 114 and stored in the number memory 1151, and the number of sheets for the same volume of 1,000 yen is added by the adder 114! The number for the 1,000 yen note is added by the adder 1-41 and stored in the number memo 7 115s, and the number for the 500 yen note is incremented by the adder 1144 and stored in the number memory 1158. 6 are stored in memory 1154.

When the maintenance key 25 is pressed down again, the J-human power mode is canceled.

Then, when all the banknotes P input into the input slot 6 at once have been sorted, the control section 100 turns off the counting start key 23. Then, the operator depresses the storage ghee 24 by one.

Then, the AND circuit 1131°-, J761, 1 . Bird, 28196. . M
r-)ka! H63 Reyo υ, number of sheets memory 115. ,
The manually input number data for each golden persimmon is output from the AND circuit 1161. As a result, the control section 100 stores the sheet number data and the total number of sheets in the storage section 100.
Memory contents of the manual input storage area in 01 and its AND circuit 1161. The cumulative total with the output of ... is stored in that area. In addition, the manually inputted number of coins for each denomination in the number memory Ilf+... and the counted number of coins for each denomination data are added by adders 1'llll, . . . for each denomination, and The addition results are stored in the number memories 112g, . . . . This number memory 1121. The contents of . . . are outputted via an AND circuit 1731. As a result,
The control unit 100 stores the number data for each denomination of the @l patch outputted from the AND circuits 1131'a .

In this way, the counting results of a predetermined number of cash after the second patch, the manual input results, and their cumulative total are stored in the storage unit.
0jJ/C is stored.

Note that the manual input operation described above can be performed in the same manner as described above as long as the number of sets is completed and before the storage key 24 is pressed down.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a cash field harvesting machine that can perform manual input using the waiting time during counting and can shorten the processing time required for operation.
