Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a plurality of banknotes, such as an automatic deposit/withdrawal machine that automatically deposits and withdraws money, installed in each branch of a bank, etc., an automatic teller machine, and a currency exchange machine. Manage automatic handling machines in groups and exchange those banknotes.
The present invention relates to a banknote processing system that can be recycled and reused, and particularly relates to a banknote processing system in which banknotes from each automatic banknote handling machine are placed in a banknote storage cullet and the amount of banknotes carried into the cullet 1 is conveyed by a conveyance means.

[Technical aspects of the invention and its problems]

In recent years, various types of automation have progressed in banks, etc., and not only the main branch of the bank but also each branch has been mechanized.
Automatic banknote handling machines such as T-Mated Dell's Machine (ΔO M), automatic teller machine (Cashco Dispenry; CD), and money changer are installed to allow C customers to use transaction media such as cards or passbooks. The machine allows users to automatically withdraw and deposit banknotes, and operates for extended hours even after bank counters are closed. Each (small automatic banknote handling machine will count from at least several to a large number of bank branch C's two digits.)/3-) 'C coming C
The number of J3 units installed will increase in the future, and the number of installed units will continue to increase. Moreover, recently a recycle-type OJ cash dispenser has been developed and put into practical use, in which the banknotes deposited at rt are circulated within the machine and withdrawn as they are. There is also an A-line alert machine (OTM) for bank pullers.

By the way, as mentioned above, mechanization has progressed Δ7 (・b Each automatic banknote handling machine is operated independently (each is not managed and operated separately. Therefore, in reality, each automatic banknote handling machine has There is a difference in the number of withdrawals and the amount of deposits, and the difference varies from day to day, and also depends on the environment of the machine with a large number of deposits or withdrawals. There were a few aircraft, and midway through operation, the planes ran out of banknotes or overflowed, causing operations to stop, resulting in a serious problem.

Let's do it again! ζIn order to avoid problems, bank employees should always keep the pipe 1m] -! This would result in a significant increase in personnel, and with 10,000 automatic banknote handling machines, there would be a large number of banknotes or not.
C had the disadvantage of not being able to properly manage funds, such as having an excess of banknotes.

1-C' near C' is located at 4i' as the number of automatic banknote handling machines mentioned above increases.
There is a growing demand for a group banknote system that improves the efficiency of operating funds by circulating the banknotes in each bank.

However, in order to put this system into practical use, it is necessary to efficiently transport operating funds to each automatic banknote handling machine, and automatic banknote handling machines are difficult to operate in small-scale stores. It is good to be able to manage medium-level C's in small groups, and furthermore to have the ability to gradually expand to large groups.
A means of transportation is required.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been developed in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to manage a plurality of automatic banknote handling machines (automatic deposit/withdrawal machines, automatic payment machines, etc.) in a group. It is possible to recycle the banknotes in each machine in common.C1 It is possible to prevent the automatic banknote handling machine from running out of cash or having an excess of cash while it is in operation. Not only can you automatically manage funds efficiently without causing any trouble, but you can also efficiently insert -C banknotes into each automatic banknote handling machine.111J II
We have developed a banknote processing system whose transportation means can be conveniently applied to the single operation of automatic banknote handling machines and the expansion from small groups to large group operations. The purpose is to

[Summary of the invention]

Then, the control of the banknote processing system having the above-mentioned configuration will be explained with reference to FIG. 14. First, the traveling control of the mobile safe 14, which is a self-propelled conveying device of the cullet conveying means, will be explained. For example, when a shortage of one ten thousand yen bill in the banknote storage capacity cells 1 to 1G of the denomination-specific banknote collection unit 22 of the automatic teller machine 8 shown in FIG. 9 is detected, the automatic teller machine 8 An alarm signal is sent to the automatic banknote handling machine monitoring device 100 of the central machine 12 via one automatic teller machine 9 set as a mask machine for the group in the step-in corporation 4. At this time, the group recycling central control cape device 101 instructs the banknote storage cassette access device 80 of the central recycling machine 12 to prepare the ten thousand yen banknote P, and the knockless device 8o (of the banknote storage unit 8o) 1 to 16, the required number of 10,000 yen banknotes [-] are accumulated and prepared.At this point, the mobile safe 1/1 moves by itself on the rails 1 to 5 that make up the conveyance path and reaches the center after the central machine 12. It stops at the fixed position on the side () and performs the receiving operation of 16 to the banknote storage capacity cellar 1 with a 10,000 yen banknote [] prepared.A light indicates that the reception of the banknote storage cullet 1G is completely completed. For communication,
'', the transmitter/receiver 50 of the mobile safe 14 passes the signal to the transmitter/receiver 29 of the central machine 12 (3), and then the central machine 12 sends a running signal to the mobile safe 14 and the automatic payment machine 8bJ. Reply. However, (the mobile platform FJ17'I moved on its own,
At this time, the automatic teller machine 8 continues to transmit the mobile safe stop signal from its transmitter/receiver 29 [-J, and the mobile safe 14 comes running by itself (receiving the stop signal []-( Stop covering.

In other words, the automatic payment I when the remaining amount of banknotes P in the banknote storage cell 1-16 is returned to a small amount? It reaches the rear position of s, 8 and stops.

Then, when the mobile safe 14 stops, the automatic payment machine 8 first sends a command from the transmitter/receiver 29 to the mobile safe 1/I to pull out the banknote storage cassette 16 with insufficient remaining yen banknotes from the banknote takeout/accumulation section 22 in the dispensing unit 51. Send. The movable safe 14 that receives this command pulls and stores the J set 14 (with insufficient amount of banknotes remaining) into the empty slots 1 to storage sections [ ] of the safe section 37 shown in FIG. 7 using the claw mechanism 4G. . When this operation is completed, the mobile safe 1/I receives a command from the automatic teller machine and 3 to automatically make an automatic payment by pushing out 16 J20,000 yen banknotes to the banknote storage currency 1 that has been carried. It is attached to the banknote takeout/accumulation section 22 of the machine 8. 3) When inserting or removing the cassette into or out of the distribution cellar 1, the movable safe 14 reciprocates on the IC rail 15 along with the insertion/removal head of the cassette, and moves the case 1 storage section up and down.

When the insertion/removal of the banknote storage cells 1 to 16 is completed, the movable safe 14 moves by itself according to the return command issued from the central bank 1f112 and returns to the original central bank +jl! 12, transfer it to the same sending/receiving device 8 as described above, and transfer 16 to the banknote storage capacity cellar 1 that came to the access device 80 of the concentrator 12.
The access device 8o receives the banknotes and transfers them to the empty banknote retrieval/accumulation unit 23.
Remaining banknotes 1] are taken out one by one and passed through the inspection section 2413 to the banknote storage cassette 16 of the denomination-specific banknote extraction and accumulation section 22.
Store it in.

Next, to explain the case of the automatic teller machine 9 shown in FIG. Each banknote [) is a total of
The banknote storage capacity cellar 1 of 3 can be carefully stored in the cellar 16, and banknotes can also be distributed and loaded from there into the banknote storage capacity cellars 1 to 16 of each denomination banknote collection section 20, 21, and 22. Therefore, the cassette is inserted and removed only in the first stage. For example, if it is detected that one banknote in the banknote storage capacity hit 16 for each denomination is full, the automatic deposit/withdrawal machine 9 cancels the transaction with Junyon and accepts the specified number of banknotes or the command from the central bank 12. The excess banknotes P corresponding to the number of sheets are taken out from the full banknote storage capacity P slot 16 and moved to the banknote storage capacity 16 of the banknote removal and accumulation section 23 at the top tier. When this transfer is completed, the automatic cash deposit/withdrawal machine 9 starts transactions with the customer again, and at the same time, uses the same communication control as described above to store an empty li (bill collection capacity [with 1G] in the mobile safe '14). (Self-propelled -C will come (,

The access device fff 80 takes out the excess banknotes P one by one from the received banknote storage wallet 1-16, sorts them by denomination, and distributes them to the banknote storage cassettes 16 of the banknote collection/accumulation sections 20.21 and 22 for each denomination. Storage vine.

J5, the automatic deposit/withdrawal machine 9 inspects banknotes as described above.
Transactions with customers were canceled during the loading operation, but in order to give priority to customer transactions using other methods, automatic deposit/withdrawal machine 9
If it detects that a customer's operation (for example, inserting a card) is incorrect, it will temporarily suspend the automatic examination and loading of banknotes and -1 after completing the transaction with that customer. - Resume inspection and loading operation 4J, If this is done, there is no need to keep the customer waiting.In this case, the banknote shortage detector 28a and the banknote full detector 2ε3b of the automatic deposit/withdrawal machine 8 are at the lowest level. Make sure to set it up with plenty of time to spare.

In addition, in the case of the A-line Terror's Machine 7 located inside the lobby counter 3 in Figure 1, the above-mentioned automatic person appearance L
Although the explanation will be omitted since it is similar to the above, when there is a shortage or surplus of banknotes, the banknotes are replenished or taken out by inserting and removing the banknote storage cellar 1-16 in the same manner as described above.

Furthermore, since the exchange machine 10 in FIG. 1 is a so-called automatic deposit/withdrawal machine whose function is to accept cash and dispense exchange money, drawings and explanations of the internal configuration will be omitted.
The operation of replenishing and withdrawing banknotes when the amount of banknotes inside is insufficient or full is also similar to that of the Juki automatic cash dispensing machine 5), so a description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the banknote storage cullet ax L device 80 of the central machine 12 shown in FIG. The storage capacity is J (since each banknote 16 is for group recycle and can be inserted and removed by the movable safe 14, it is desirable to be able to access the two banknotes at the same time). Therefore, for example, the automatic teller machine 8 is short of 600 1,000 yen banknotes 1) 400 IJ and 600 1,000 yen banknotes! 71.0 (-) 1,000 yen banknotes P 1-[7 banknote storage capacity hit 16 and 60

Also, for example, if 1 (11's bill storage capacity hit 16-'C' is accessed automatically for automatic deposit/withdrawal? 119) etc., there is a shortage of two or more types of banknotes.

Assuming that there are 600 thousand yen banknotes, the access device 'J' 380 of the central machine 12 has a banknote storage capacity of one banknote storage cell 1 of the banknote taker 111 of either the upper or lower stage of the stacking section 23. Xi 100 with J yen banknotes (300

0 banknotes P are sorted by each denomination (t-J). 9, etc. 1-16
Even if the banknotes are full at the same time, the excess banknotes P of each denomination can be collectively drawn out and conveyed by the movable safe 14 to the banknote storage cellars 1 to 16 of the banknote takeout/accumulation section 23 at one location. Furthermore, the movement, shortage, fullness, error, death, etc. of the banknotes P during the operation of the group reno cycle as described above are all monitored and controlled by the central machine 12.

This is recorded by the zipper printing device 90, as well as alerting the personnel. In addition, each banknote automatic handling machine (if an inconvenience occurs somewhere in the banknote recycle, the staff member manually operates the 1-guru switch on the keyboard 92 to switch the corresponding banknote automatic handling machine from groove recycle). In addition, although the group recycle described in I is normally performed automatically, it is possible to switch it to Manino full by using a switch on the keyboard and manual input from the numeric keypad. :Riri) It is also possible to change the prescribed number of Nikle.

Next, each automatic banknote handling machine can perform automatic inspection and loading at the end of business 114 on - day or when necessary, but all these inspection and counting results are displayed on the screen display device 91 of the central machine 12.
In the 11 display, [1 Jir-Nor printing device py O to write ffi' (Kiru ni 41.) The machine 8 is withdrawing money.'' - Automatic inspection and automatic devices are not possible in Nira 1-51. Each time, one hit is entered and the C tally is performed.Also, the access device 8 of the central machine 12
The banknotes of each denomination within 0 can also be collected using the banknote storage cullet 16 for group lily and banknotes.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, all the banknotes from each automatic banknote handling machine can be concentrated in the concentrator 12, so managing the banknotes 1 is easy, and the banknote storage of each automatic banknote handling machine is easy. Since all the force rollers 1-16 are the same and common, the force 1-16 can be transferred to the separately installed bill sorting and bunching machine 13 to automatically sort and bunch the bills. This reduces the need for staff to walk around the store carrying bills.

In addition, as shown in Figure 1, normally two mobile safes 414 are operated, but when there are a large number of transactions and it is difficult to respond to inquiries (,!
Δ is also used J: Sea urchin 4γ.

Also, due to the difference in the person in charge of the automatic banknote extraction machine Bγ, the banknotes P from the online teller's 7thin 17 group were mixed with those from other groups. It is possible to avoid the cost of banknotes by using them differently.

Also, as shown in Figure 1/I, each of the nine banknotes is automatically handled via a central control unit 103 at the head office, etc. and a todem 104, respectively.
Although the line connection (A-line) is in operation, the central control unit 101 for group recycling is not connected to the central control unit 1031, so each automatic banknote handling machine cannot be operated independently. There is a hiatus of 7iX'r.

It is also possible to separate the mobile money IIIT 4 from the concentration machine 12 and operate it for small group recycle. For example, the four machines 7 in the lobby counter 3 or the automatic teller machine 8 and the automatic deposit/withdrawal machine 9 in the step-in corner 4 are ranked 11th in a small group, and the above-mentioned Gruno recycling method is used. If you want to apply it, please use Masterf 1. Operate the web method. A control device 105 for small group recycling is installed on one mask machine in a small group of Fumarii.
If the banknotes are kept in the money transfer safe 1/1, banknote recycling operations can be carried out in the small group. Note”−
By distributing the fertilizer ill device 105 to each banknote handling machine and arranging it, it is possible to realize -T instead of the above-mentioned master-slave system. In this case, the number of banknotes is managed and notified to the person in charge C by the memory mechanism in the mobile safe 14 (2).
The mobile safe 14 r can be inspected side by side and managed the number of banknotes.
', and then sends (N) to the automatic banknote handling machine by optical communication via transmitter/receiver 2'9.50. In addition to issuing a warning, the number of remaining banknotes is known and management operations are carried out.
