Further, the operator can input various commands to the control unit 300 through the operation display unit 302. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the printing unit 304 is stored in the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus 10 or the coin depositing / dispensing apparatus 110, a processing state of a banknote or a coin, and the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus 10 or the coin depositing / dispensing apparatus 110. It is composed of a printer or the like that prints information such as banknotes and coins on receipts and the like. Further, the storage unit 306 stores the processing history of the banknotes and coins in the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus 10 and the coin depositing / dispensing apparatus 110 and the amount of banknotes and coins stored in the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus 10 and the coin depositing / dispensing apparatus 110. Information is stored. In this embodiment, the storage unit 306 stores, in the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus 10 or the coin depositing / dispensing apparatus 110, types of abnormalities that occur when processing banknotes and coins, and a method of canceling each type of abnormality. Are stored in association with each other. Details of such storage contents in the storage unit 306 will be described later. In addition, the control unit 300 can transmit and receive various signals to and from an external device 310 such as an upper terminal via the communication interface unit 308.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the control unit 300 is connected with an abnormality detection unit 320, a release operation detection unit 322, and a determination unit 324. The abnormality detection unit 320 is configured to detect an abnormality such as a jam (jam) of a banknote or coin when the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus 10 or the coin depositing / dispensing apparatus 110 processes a banknote or a coin. Has become. Further, the release operation detecting means 322 detects this when an abnormality release operation is performed (specifically, opening and closing of each part disposed inside the money receiving and dispensing machine 1). Based on information from a sensor that detects a state, a sensor that detects the presence or absence of bills and coins, it is configured to detect whether or not a release operation has been performed and what operation has been performed. ). Further, the determination unit 324 determines whether the method of releasing the abnormality detected by the release operation detection unit 322 is based on the information stored in the storage unit 306 and corresponds to the type of abnormality detected by the abnormality detection unit 320. When the release operation method does not match, it is determined that the release operation is incomplete. The details of the functions of the abnormality detection means 320, the release operation detection means 322, and the determination means 324 will be described later.

  Next, an operation of the money depositing and dispensing machine 1 having such a configuration (particularly, an operation when an abnormality occurs in the money depositing and dispensing machine 1 and performing an operation of canceling the abnormality) will be described with reference to a flowchart and a diagram shown in FIG. This will be described with reference to display screens of the operation display unit 302 shown in FIGS.

  While the money depositing and dispensing machine 1 is performing processing such as money depositing, dispensing, and scrutiny, for example, the transport unit 18 of the bill depositing and dispensing apparatus 10, the loose bill storage unit 32, and the banded bill storage unit 70. When an abnormality (error) such as jamming of banknotes or jamming of coins in the depositing / conveying unit 128, the storage / feeding unit 152, the conveyor 154, or the like of the coin depositing / dispensing apparatus 110 occurs, the abnormality detecting unit 320 detects the abnormality. Is performed (“YES” in STEP 1). Specifically, the abnormality detection unit 320 detects information such as which of the banknote depositing / dispensing device 10 and the coin depositing / dispensing device 110 has an abnormality, the type of the abnormality, and the position where the abnormality has occurred. You.

  In addition, as described above, the storage unit 306 stores the types of abnormalities that occur when processing the bills and coins in the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus 10 and the coin depositing / dispensing apparatus 110, and a method for canceling each type of abnormality. Are stored in association with each other. Specifically, the storage unit 306 stores information related to the table shown in FIG. Then, based on the detection result by the abnormality detecting means 320, information such as which of the banknote depositing / dispensing device 10 and the coin depositing / dispensing device 110 has caused the abnormality, the type of the abnormality, and the position where the abnormality has occurred is determined. Then, based on the table as shown in FIG. 14 stored in the storage unit 306, the control unit 300 can specify the operation method for canceling the abnormality (STEP 2). In the following description, a case where an abnormality occurs in the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus 10 will be described. However, the same operation is performed when an abnormality occurs in the coin depositing / dispensing apparatus 110.

  When the control unit 300 specifies the operation method for canceling the abnormality, the operation display unit 302 sequentially displays the specified operation method for canceling the abnormality as shown in FIGS. (STEP 3). Further, the lock of the drawer unit 13 by the lock mechanism 50 corresponding to the specified abnormality canceling operation method is unlocked (STEP 4). Specifically, for example, when an abnormality related to jamming of banknotes occurs in the loose banknote storage unit 32 of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 10, the lock of the drawer unit 13 by the lock mechanism 50 is released. More specifically, in the lock mechanism 50, the motor 54 rotates the lock member 52 and the link plate 56 in the counterclockwise direction in FIGS. 4 and 5 around the shaft 52a, and as shown in FIG. It comes off from the lock member 52. As a result, the lock of the drawer unit 13 by the lock mechanism 50 is released, and the operator can pull out the drawer unit 13 from the housing 12 to the front side.

  When the operator pulls out the drawer unit 13 from the housing 12, the display screen on the operation display unit 302 switches from the screen shown in FIG. 15 to the screen shown in FIG. 16. Then, when the operator performs the operation for clearing the abnormality according to the display screen of the operation display unit 302, the display screen on the operation display unit 302 is changed to FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 every time the operator performs each process of the operation for clearing the abnormality. The screen is switched sequentially as shown. Specifically, the screens shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 are alternately displayed as animations on the operation display unit 302, and when the banknote causing the jam is removed, the screen shown in FIG. Will be displayed. In the screens shown in FIGS. 16 to 18, a method of canceling an abnormality when the banded banknote stored in the banded banknote storage unit 70 is jammed is displayed, but the transport unit 18 and the loose banknote storage unit 32 are displayed. In the case where the banknotes are jammed in, for example, the operation method for canceling the abnormality corresponding to the transport unit 18 or the loose banknote storage unit 32 is displayed. Further, when the operator performs each step of the abnormality clearing operation, the release operation detecting means 322 detects that each step of the abnormality clearing operation has been performed ("YES" in STEP5).

  When the release operation detecting unit 322 detects that each step of the abnormality release operation has been performed (“YES” in STEP 5), the control unit 300 releases the abnormality release operation method detected by the release operation detection unit 322. The abnormality detection means 320 (in other words, based on the information stored in the storage unit 306 (specifically, based on the table shown in FIG. 14)) determines (the method of performing the abnormality clearing operation actually performed by the operator). It is determined whether or not the method corresponds to the abnormality clearing operation method corresponding to the detected abnormality type (that is, the abnormality clearing operation method specified in the step shown in STEP 2 in the control unit 300) (STEP 6). Then, if both match ("YES" in STEP 6), it is determined that all the abnormalities detected by the abnormality detecting means 320 have been eliminated by the operator's operation for canceling the abnormality, and the judging means 324 returns to the completion state of the canceling operation. It is determined that there is (STEP 7). When the determination unit 324 determines that the release operation is completed, the control unit 300 outputs information indicating that the release operation of the abnormality has been completed. The information output by the control unit 300 is displayed on the operation display unit 302, printed by the printing unit 304, or transmitted to the external device 310 by the communication interface unit 308.

  When the determination unit 324 determines that the release operation has been completed, the lock member 52 is moved to the lock position in the lock mechanism 50 (STEP 8). Specifically, in the lock mechanism 50, the driving force is not transmitted to the link plate 56 by the motor 54, and the lock member 52 and the link plate 56 are returned to the positions shown in FIG. 4 by the torsion spring. When the operator pushes the drawer unit 13 into the housing 12 in such a state, when the lock member 52 comes into contact with the lock pin 58, the lock member 52 is centered on the shaft 52a against the urging force of the torsion spring. 4 and 5, the lock member 52 comes over the lock pin 58 by rotating in the counterclockwise direction in FIGS. 4 and 5, and the lock pin 58 is hooked on the lock member 52. 12 is locked inside. In this way, when the drawer unit 13 is returned to the inside of the housing 12 by the operator and the lower door 12a is closed, a reset operation is performed in the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus 10, and the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus 10 returns to the standby state. Or the continuation of the original processing is performed. When a reset operation is performed in the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 10, a screen as shown in FIG. 20 is displayed on the operation display unit 302. In this manner, a series of operations relating to the operation for clearing the abnormality in the present embodiment is completed.

  On the other hand, the release operation is not performed because the correct abnormality release operation is not performed or the operator performs only a part of the abnormality release operation even though there are a plurality of abnormalities detected by the abnormality detection unit 320. The abnormality canceling operation method detected by the detecting means 322 (that is, the abnormality canceling operation method actually performed by the operator) matches the abnormality canceling operation method specified in the step shown in STEP2 in the control unit 300. If not ("NO" in STEP6), the determination means 324 determines that the release operation is incomplete (STEP9). In addition, when the determination unit 324 determines that the release operation is not completed, the control unit 300 outputs information indicating that the abnormality release operation has not been completed. The information output by the control unit 300 is displayed on the operation display unit 302, printed by the printing unit 304, or transmitted to the external device 310 by the communication interface unit 308. Specifically, the operation display unit 302 displays information indicating that the operation to clear the abnormality as shown in FIG. 19 is not completed (STEP 10). More specifically, the operation display unit 302 displays the status of achievement of the operation for clearing the abnormality. When the operator presses a “reset” button on the screen of the operation display unit 302 as shown in FIG. 19, the reset operation is performed in the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 10 in a state where all the abnormalities are not released. Then, the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 10 returns to the standby state, or the continuation of the original processing is performed. Further, when the operator presses the “pause” button on the screen of the operation display unit 302 as shown in FIG. 19, the operation for clearing the abnormality is interrupted. When the operator presses the “error clear” button on the operation display unit 302 while the error clearing operation is interrupted, the error clearing operation is restarted. When the operator presses a “start” button on the screen of the operation display unit 302 as shown in FIG. 19, the screen shown in FIG. 16 is displayed on the operation display unit 302, and Can be continued. Thus, the operator can quickly and reliably perform the operation for canceling the abnormality. As described above, the “start” button displayed on the screen of the operation display unit 302 as shown in FIG. 19 is used to release an uncompleted abnormality when the determination unit 324 determines that the release operation is not completed. It functions as an operation means for starting the operation.

  Further, when the determination unit 324 determines that the release operation is not completed, the control unit 300 does not operate the lock mechanism 50. More specifically, the control unit 300 controls the motor 54 so that the lock member 52 is maintained at the lock release position as shown in FIG. . In this case, even if the operator mistakenly thinks that the abnormality clearing operation has been completed while returning the drawer unit 13 to the inside of the housing 12 when the abnormality clearing operation is not completed, the drawer unit concerned Since the lock 13 is not locked inside the housing 12, the operator can notice that the operation for canceling the abnormality has not been completed. Thus, the operator can quickly and reliably perform the operation for canceling the abnormality.

  Further, in the present embodiment, for example, the time of pulling out the withdrawal unit 13 when performing the operation for canceling the abnormality in the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 10 is too short or the withdrawal amount of the withdrawal unit 13 from the front of the housing 12 is too small. The motor 54 is also controlled by the controller 300 so that the lock member 52 is maintained at the unlocked position as shown in FIG. 5 when the drawer unit 13 is returned to the inside of the housing 12. The drawer unit 13 may not be locked by the lock mechanism 50. In this case, a screen may be displayed on the operation display unit 302 to confirm whether or not an operation for clearing the abnormality has been performed. As described above, when the time of pulling out the drawer unit 13 is too short or the amount of the drawer unit 13 pulled out from the front of the housing 12 is too small, it is highly likely that the operation for canceling the abnormality has not been performed, By preventing the drawer unit 13 from being locked inside the housing 12 or displaying a screen for confirming whether or not the abnormality has been released on the operation display unit 302, the operation for releasing the abnormality has not been completed. Can be noticed by the operator.

  According to the money receiving and dispensing machine 1 (money processing device) of the present embodiment having the above configuration and the money processing method by such a money receiving and dispensing machine 1, the storage unit 306 performs money processing. In this case, the type of abnormality that occurs at the time is stored in association with each type of the above-described release operation method. When the abnormality is released, this is detected by the release operation detection unit 322. The judging means 324 determines that the method of canceling the abnormality detected by the canceling operation detecting means 322 is based on the information stored in the storage section 306. If the operation does not match the abnormality release operation method corresponding to the type, the release operation is determined to be incomplete. As a result, it is possible to monitor whether or not the operation for canceling the abnormality has been performed normally, thereby improving the operability for the operator and reducing the time required for canceling the operation for the abnormality. Can be.

  To explain in more detail, in the conventional method of removing an abnormality in a money handling apparatus such as a money receiving and dispensing machine, the door was closed or the drawer unit was returned to the inside of the housing without the abnormality being normally removed. Even in such a case, the reset operation is automatically performed in the money handling apparatus, and thereafter, an abnormality is detected again, and information on the abnormality is displayed on the operation display unit. However, in this case, it is necessary for the operator to open the door again or pull out the drawer unit again from the inside of the housing to perform the operation for canceling the abnormality, and it takes time to perform the operation for canceling the abnormality. There is a problem that the operability for the operator is poor. In particular, when it is necessary to perform a plurality of steps as an operation for canceling the abnormality, since the operator may close the door or return the drawer unit to the inside of the housing without performing all the steps, In such a case, if the reset operation is performed automatically, the operator will have to wait for a long time, and the operation of the remaining steps cannot be performed smoothly. In addition, even if the door is closed or the drawer unit is returned to the inside of the housing before the operation for clearing the abnormality has been performed normally, the operator will correctly perform the operation for clearing the abnormality. There is a problem that the contents of the re-operation regarding the information cannot be understood. On the other hand, in the money receiving and dispensing machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a method of releasing an abnormality detected by the releasing operation detecting unit 322 is detected by the abnormality detecting unit 320 based on the information stored in the storage unit 306. When the operation does not match the abnormality release operation method corresponding to the type of abnormality that has been performed, the determination unit 324 determines that the release operation is not completed. The problem can be solved.

  Further, in the money receiving and dispensing machine 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, when the determination unit 324 determines that the release operation is not completed, the information indicating that the abnormality release operation is not completed is provided. The control unit 300 is provided as an output unit for outputting. Information output by the control unit 300 as an output unit is displayed on the operation display unit 302 (see FIG. 19). Accordingly, the operator can recognize that the operation for canceling the abnormality is not completed by looking at the screen displayed on the operation display unit 302. When the information output by the control unit 300 as an output unit is displayed on the operation display unit 302, the operation display unit 302 also displays the achievement status of the operation for canceling the abnormality. In this case, the operator can recognize the achievement status of the operation for canceling the abnormality by looking at the screen displayed on the operation display unit 302.

  Further, in the money receiving and dispensing machine 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, the operation for starting the uncompleted abnormality release operation when the determination unit 324 determines that the release operation is incomplete. Means are provided. Specifically, for example, when the determination unit 324 determines that the release operation is not completed, the operation display unit 302 displays a “start” button, and the “start” button is displayed. When the button is pressed, the operator can continue the operation for canceling the abnormality. Thus, the operator can quickly and reliably perform the operation for canceling the abnormality.

  Further, in the money receiving and dispensing machine 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, the lock mechanisms 50 and 250 for locking the drawer units that can be drawn from the inside of the housings 12 and 112 are provided. The control unit 300 does not operate the lock mechanisms 50 and 250 when the determination unit 324 determines that the release operation has not been completed. Accordingly, even if the operator mistakenly thinks that the abnormality clearing operation has been completed when the abnormality clearing operation has not been completed, and returns the drawer unit to the inside of the housings 12 and 112, the drawer unit is not affected. Is not locked inside the housings 12 and 112, the operator can notice that the operation for canceling the abnormality is incomplete. Therefore, the operator can quickly and reliably perform the operation for canceling the abnormality.

  Further, the lock mechanism 50 includes a lock member 52 that is movable between a lock position for locking the drawer unit 13 and a lock release position where the lock of the drawer unit 13 is released. The control unit 300 includes a motor 54 as a driving unit that moves between the unlocking positions. When the determining unit 324 determines that the unlocking operation is not completed, the control unit 300 moves the lock member 52 to the unlocking position. The motor 54 is controlled so as to be maintained. As a result, when the unlocking operation is not completed by the determining unit 324, the lock member 52 is maintained at the unlocked position, so that even if the operator returns the drawer unit 13 to the inside of the housing 12, The lock member 52 is no longer hooked on the lock pin 58, so that the drawer unit 13 is not locked by the lock mechanism 50.

  Note that the money receiving and dispensing machine 1 (money processing device) according to the present embodiment and the money processing method by such a money receiving and dispensing machine 1 are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various changes are made. be able to.

  For example, the money handling apparatus according to the present invention is not limited to the money receiving and dispensing machine 1 in which the bill receiving and dispensing apparatus 10 and the coin receiving and dispensing apparatus 110 are combined. As the money handling apparatus according to the present invention, the bill receiving / dispensing device 10 may be used alone, or the coin receiving / dispensing device 110 may be used alone.

  Further, in the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 10 or the coin pay-in / pay-out device 110, instead of providing the lock mechanisms 50, 250 for locking the drawer unit inside the housings 12, 112, or instead of mounting the drawer unit inside the housings 12, 112, In addition to providing the lock mechanisms 50 and 250 for locking, a lock mechanism for locking doors (specifically, for example, the lower door 12a and the front doors 114 and 115) provided on the front surfaces of the housings 12 and 112 is provided. It may be provided. In this case, the control unit 300 may not operate the lock mechanism that locks the door when the determination unit 324 determines that the release operation is not completed. Specifically, the lock mechanism that locks the door includes a lock member that is movable between a lock position that locks the door and a lock release position where the door is unlocked, and a lock position that locks the lock member. And a drive unit for moving between the lock release positions. The control unit 300 maintains the lock member at the lock release position when the determination unit 324 determines that the release operation is not completed. The driving unit may be controlled.

  Further, the money handling system according to the present invention may be configured by combining the above-described money receiving and dispensing machine 1 and an external device 310 such as an upper terminal. In this case, the external device 310 such as a host terminal functions as a management device that manages the money receiving and dispensing machine 1. In the above description, the storage unit 306 and the determination unit 324 that store the types of abnormalities that occur when processing money in the money depositing and dispensing machine 1 in association with the operation methods for canceling the abnormalities of each type are used for the currency. Although the aspect provided in the cash-receipt-and-disbursement machine 1 was described, in the money processing system according to the present invention, when processing money in the cash-receipt-and-disbursement machine 1 in the storage unit provided in the external device 310 as a management device. May be stored in association with the type of anomaly that occurs in each of the types of anomalies and an operation method for canceling each type of anomaly. May be provided.

When the determination unit 509 determines that the release operation is completed, information indicating that the abnormality release operation has been completed is output by the host control unit 502. The information output by the host control unit 502 is displayed on the operation display unit 504 or transmitted to the POS control unit 591 of the POS register 590 by the communication unit 503 and displayed on the display unit 593 of the POS register 590. .

  Further, when the determination unit 509 determines that the release operation is completed, the bill control unit 510a operates the lock mechanism 529. Specifically, when the drawer unit 513 is returned inside the housing 512, the drawer unit 513 is locked inside the housing 512 by the lock mechanism 529. When the drawer unit 513 is locked inside the housing 512, a reset operation is performed in the banknote processing apparatus 510, and the banknote processing apparatus 510 returns to the standby state or continues the original processing. Become like In this manner, a series of operations relating to the operation for canceling the abnormality in the money change machine 500 is completed.

  On the other hand, the release operation is not performed because the correct abnormality release operation is not performed, or the operator performs only a part of the abnormality release operation even though there are a plurality of abnormalities detected by the abnormality detection unit 507. If the abnormality release operation method detected by the detection unit 508 (that is, the abnormality release operation method actually performed by the operator) does not match the abnormality release operation method specified by the upper control unit 502, The determination means 509 determines that the release operation has not been completed. When the determination unit 509 determines that the release operation has not been completed, information indicating that the abnormality release operation has not been completed is output by the upper control unit 502. The information output by the host control unit 502 is displayed on the operation display unit 504 or transmitted to the POS control unit 591 of the POS register 590 by the communication unit 503 and displayed on the display unit 593 of the POS register 590. . In addition, the operation display unit 504 and the display unit 593 display the achievement status of the operation for clearing the abnormality. At this time, a screen similar to the screen shown in FIG. 19 is displayed on the operation display unit 504 and the display unit 593. Then, when the operator presses a “reset” button on the screen of the operation display unit 504 or the like, the banknote processing apparatus 510 performs a reset operation in a state where all abnormalities are not released, and the banknote processing apparatus 510 Will return to the standby state or the continuation of the original processing will be performed. Further, when the operator presses the “interrupt” button on the screen of the operation display unit 504 or the like, the operation for canceling the abnormality is interrupted. In addition, when the operator presses an “error clear” button on the operation display unit 504 or the like while the abnormality clearing operation is interrupted, the error clearing operation is restarted. Further, when the operator presses the “start” button on the screen of the operation display unit 504 or the like, the operator can continue the operation for canceling the abnormality. Thus, the operator can quickly and reliably perform the operation for canceling the abnormality.

  In addition, when the determination unit 509 determines that the release operation is not completed, the bill control unit 510a does not operate the lock mechanism 529. In this case, even if the operator mistakenly thinks that the abnormality clearing operation has been completed when the abnormality clearing operation is not completed, the drawer unit 513 is returned to the inside of the housing 512 even if the drawer unit 513 is returned. Since the 513 is not locked inside the housing 512, the operator can notice that the operation for canceling the abnormality is not completed. Thus, the operator can quickly and reliably perform the operation for canceling the abnormality.

  As described above, in the money change machine 500 as shown in FIGS. 21 to 26, as in the money depositing and dispensing machine 1 of the present embodiment as shown in FIGS. The types of abnormalities that occur when performing the processing of the above and the above-mentioned types of canceling operation methods are stored in association with each other, and when an abnormalities canceling operation is performed, this is detected by the canceling operation detection. The determination means 509 determines whether or not the abnormality release operation method detected by the release operation detection means 508 is based on the information stored in the storage unit 506. If it does not match the abnormality release operation method corresponding to the detected abnormality type, it is determined that the release operation is incomplete. As a result, it is possible to monitor whether or not the operation for canceling the abnormality has been performed normally, thereby improving the operability for the operator and reducing the time required for canceling the operation for the abnormality. Can be.
