Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a circulation type automatic payment / receipt device that stores received paper sheets and discharges the paper sheets for discharging.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

Conventionally, in this type of automatic recycle payment machine, paper sheets that have been loaded or stored and are stacked are often fed out one by one for identification and counting. However, the sheets fed out one by one may be fed in a skewed state, a double feed, a chain, or the like. If a paper sheet in such an abnormal state is conveyed along the normal route, a jam or erroneous counting will occur. Therefore, an abnormality is detected, and the paper sheet in the abnormal state is removed from the normal path and eliminated. Also,
For example, when it is not enough to eliminate it like a slight skew, the correction mechanism may correct the state to continue the conveyance.

By the way, it is almost the case that such abnormalities frequently occur due to wear of the delivery roller, the conveyor pulley, the conveyor belt, etc., deterioration due to aging, and the like. In particular, in the circulation type automatic payment and receipt machine, the conveyor pulley and the conveyor belt are commonly driven in both the receiving process and the dispensing process, and the frequency of use is extremely different from that of the dedicated receiving machine and the dispensing machine, and the frequency of occurrence of abnormality Was getting higher. Therefore, if the processing is performed during the non-use time of the processing machine before the frequency becomes excessive, the work can be continued without any trouble.

On the other hand, if the user continues to use without noticing the progress of wear and deterioration, the frequency of occurrence of abnormalities becomes excessive, or a failure state in which operation is completely impossible occurs. If such a failure occurs during or when the processor is being used, it will seriously hinder business. Although failure prevention is generally performed by periodic inspection, it is difficult to accurately grasp the degree of progress of wear and deterioration because abnormalities due to wear and deterioration are probabilistic.

[Means for solving problems]

The automatic recycle dispenser of the present invention detects the state of each sheet that has been taken in or taken out one by one to determine whether or not there is an abnormality, counts the occurrence of the abnormality, and detects the abnormality for each predetermined number of sheets. The number of occurrences is stored, the average value or the total value of the stored values for a predetermined number of times is calculated, and if the average value or the total value is equal to or more than a predetermined reference value, it is determined that the payee is abnormal, and the At least a part of the stored value for a predetermined number of times is stored as data representing the frequency of occurrence of abnormality when confirming an abnormality in the processor, and the stored value is output by the instruction of the operator or automatically. It is a thing.

[Action]

In this way, the progress of wear and deterioration can be grasped according to the frequency of occurrence of abnormality, and repair and adjustment can be performed before a failure occurs.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is an internal configuration diagram of an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a circulation type automatic depositing / dispensing machine. In the following description of the drawings, the same elements are designated by the same reference numerals. The circulating automatic depositing / dispensing machine of FIG. 1 can be used by both tellers and general customers (hereinafter referred to as customers) at, for example, a bank window. Then, the tellers machine and the circulation-type automatic depositing / dispensing machine are electrically connected to each other, and operate based on an instruction from the tellers machine operated by the teller or an operation input instruction operated by the customer. Deposits and withdrawals can be made in any of the departments.

The circulation type automatic depositing / dispensing machine shown in FIG. 1 is a main body 100 for inserting, identifying, and returning payment of bills, a front and back reversing unit 105 for reversing the front and back of the bills, and stores the inserted bills in a repaidable state And a storage unit 300 that operates. The deposit banknotes 102a inserted from the slot 101a by the teller are taken into the inside one by one by the take-in mechanism 103a driven by the pulse motor TM1a and sent to the deposit discriminating unit 113 via the conveyance paths a and b. The identification unit 113 checks the conveyed bills for skew (inclined by 6 ° or more), double feeding (overlapping two or more), and chain (two or more connected), and detects these. If so, a signal indicating that effect is sent to the CPU 4 described later.
Send to 01. The banknotes that have exited the identification unit 113 are sent to the banknote aligner unit 104a and the banknote identification unit 104b. on the other hand,
The customer-side deposit / withdrawal unit 101b includes shutters 107a and 107b.
Is projected to the input / output port 109 (state shown by broken line)
Then, when the external shutter 107 (which is driven to be opened and closed by the motor SHT) is opened, a state in which the deposit of banknotes is waited is set. When the customer inserts the bill 102b, the supporting plate with roller 1
07a and 107e support the banknote 102b, retract the shutter 107a, move the banknote onto the shutter 107b, and close the shutter 107. After that, the shutter 107b is retracted, and the capture mechanism 103b captures the sheets one by one. In this way, the deposit banknotes 102b inserted from the customer-side deposit / withdrawal unit 101b are the pulse motor TM1b.
Are taken in one by one by the taking-in mechanism 103b driven by the paper money, and the bill validator 113, the bill aligner 104a, and the bill validator 104 are passed through the transport paths r, n, o, and b.
sent to b. The deposit banknotes 102a and 102b have different denominations, unfit banknotes, and the like.
In 4b, the authenticity, denomination, denomination, damage, front and back, thickness, skew, chain, etc. of the deposited banknote are identified (high-level identification). The identified deposited banknote is sent to the front / back reversing unit 105 via the transport path c. However, when the deposited banknotes are counterfeit bills, abnormal thickness, chain running, chaining, etc., the banknotes are not turned over by a lever (not shown), through the transport paths n and z, to the outlet 112 or through the transport paths d and q. And is sent to the throw-in / out port 109. The front / back reversing unit 105 has a front / back reversing function, and the banknotes identified as the front side are passed through as they are, and the banknotes identified as the back side are opposite to each other of the accumulated banknotes through a reversing passage (not shown). Front and back reversing unit 1 in the state of being stacked on the side of
No. 05, and is stored in the first, second, and third storage cassette units 302, 303, 304 for each denomination.

The cassette units 302 to 305 include temporary holding receiving plates 312a.
~ 315a are provided, and when temporarily holding the deposited banknotes, these receiving plates project into the cassette (state shown by the broken line) and hold the banknotes sent from the transport paths u, t, s, j. . When storing the temporarily stored banknotes and when feeding out the stored banknotes, the receiving plate is retracted out of the cassette and is in a state shown by a solid line.

Storage cassette receiving plates 302a to 305a are also provided inside the cassette units 302 to 305. The stored bill receiving plates 302a to 305a receive the bills stored in the cassette, and temporarily hold receiving plates 312a to 315 at the time of deposit.
When it projects into the cassette at a, it falls to the lowest position.
On the other hand, when paying out the bills for withdrawal, the bill is raised and the topmost one of the bills stacked and stored is fed out from the feeding mechanism 306 to.
Contact 307.

Sensors S22 to S25 detect that bills are stored in the reject unit 301, the first, second, and third storage cassette units 302, 303, 304, the replenishment / recovery cassette unit 305, and the recovery-only cassette unit 306. The sensors S12 to S15 detect the full state of the banknotes stored in the cassette units 302 to 305. Further, the replenishment / recovery cassette unit 305, the reject unit 301, and the recovery-dedicated cassette unit 306 can be collectively withdrawn from the storage unit 300, and the banknotes in the cassette are stored in the replenishment / recovery cassette unit 305. After that, the teller can retrieve it by withdrawing it.

At the time of dispensing, bills are taken out one by one by feeding mechanisms 306, 307, 308 driven by pulse motors TM2 to TM4, and conveyed v, w, x, and f, g, respectively.
After passing through h and p, the banknote aligner 104a and the banknote discriminating section 1
Sent to 04b. In the bill identifying unit 104b, denomination, front and back, thickness, skew, and chain are identified, and the transport paths c, n, and z are identified.
And is sent to the outlet 107a via the conveyance path c, d, q. When the customer forgets to pick up the bill sent to the input / output port 109, the bill is collected in the forgotten collection box 110. The same applies not only to withdrawal, but also to returning banknotes. The takeout of bills from each cassette unit is detected by the sensors S17 to S20, and the number of taken out bills is counted based on this detection.

To replenish bills by a teller, when the storage unit 300 is pulled out and inserted into each cassette unit 302 to 304,
Insert the unit 300 into the replenishment / recovery cassette unit 305
There is a case where the sheets are automatically fed out one by one after being put in the main body 100 and stored in each of the cassette sections 302 to 304, and a case where they are replenished from the bill insertion slot 101a. In the latter two cases, the bill discriminating unit 104b performs so-called low-grade discrimination,
It is stored in each of the storage cassette units 302 to 304. When each storage cassette unit is full, the banknotes of the corresponding denomination are stored in the replenishment / recovery cassette unit 305.

The payout identifying unit 108 is provided on the transport path h, and when the money is dispensed, the banknotes taken out by the feeding mechanisms 306, 307, 308, and 309 can be used to print backnotes with abnormal thickness such as skew, chain, and double feed. The bills that are identified and detected are stored in the reject box 301 through the transport paths i and k.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 111 denotes a counting reject port, which is used to send out unidentifiable banknotes when the banknote processing machine is simply used for counting purposes. That is, when the bill processing machine is used for the purpose of counting, the bills are thrown into the teller-side inlet 101a and picked up one by one by the take-in mechanism 103a to obtain the transport paths a and b to obtain the bill aligner 104a and bills. It is sent to the identification unit 104b. The bill identifying unit 104b identifies bills and counts the bills based on the identification. The banknotes that could be identified, that is, normal banknotes, are returned to the front and back reversing unit
5, through the transport path n, and further through the transport path z, the outlet 11
Sent to 2. On the other hand, banknotes that could not be identified are
The paper is sent out to the counting reject port 111 through the front / back reversing unit 105, the conveyance path n, and then the conveyance paths o and m. As a result, the teller can separately take out the unidentifiable bill and the distinguishable bill.

FIG. 9 shows a memory provided in the RAM 404 for storing data relating to the frequency of occurrence of abnormality. In the figure, the transport counting memory AMM is a memory for counting the banknotes that pass through the deposit identifying unit 113. In this example, when counting up to 1000 sheets, it returns to 0. The skew feeding counting memory SH0, the double feeding counting memory JH0, and the chain counting memory RH0 are memories for counting the number of occurrences of the skew feeding, the double feeding, and the chain of the conveyed bills, respectively. When the transportation means reaches 1000,
The skew counting memory SH0 and the double feed counting memory JH at that time
0, the content of the chain counting memory RH0 is the skew number memory SH
1, the number of duplicate feeds memory JH1, and the number of chained records memory RH1. At the same time, the memories SH1 to SH3 and JH1 to J
The contents of H3 and RH1 to RH3 are stored in memories SH2 to SH2, respectively.
It is transferred to SH4, JH2-JH4, RH2-RH4.
Then, the data in the memories SH4, JH4, RH4 are discarded, and the memories SH0, JH0, RH0 are cleared. By repeating such operations, the numbers of occurrences of skew, double feed, and chain for each 1000 conveyed bills are stored in the memories SH1 to SH4, JH1 to JH4, and RH1 to RH4.

The skew average memory SHA, the double feed average memory JHA, and the chain average memory RHB are memories SH1 to SH4 and JH, respectively.
The average value or the total value of the contents of 1 to JH4 and RH1 to RH4 is stored.

The skew frequent occurrence flag SHB, the double feeding frequent occurrence flag JHB, and the chain frequent occurrence flag RHB are respectively set when it is determined that the occurrence frequencies of the skew, the multiple feeding, and the chain are high.

Skew alarm memory SHC, double feed alarm memory JH
C, chain alarm memory RHC, skew feed date memory SHD, double feed date memory JHD, and chain feed date memory RHD are determined to have high skew, double feed, and chain occurrence frequencies, respectively. Data representing the frequency of occurrence and data representing the date and time at that time and data representing the date and time at that time are stored and saved.

Although the memory for storing the data relating to the transport abnormality at the time of deposit has been described above, the memory similar to that shown in FIG. 9 is the RAM 40 for storing the data relating to the transport abnormality at the time of dispensing.
It is provided in 4.

The operation of the apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the entire operation. When the device is operated, the trading mode is designated by the operator (eg, teller) (601), and the deposit transaction is instructed by the teller or the customer (60).
2) Deposit processing is performed (603). When the withdrawal transaction is instructed without instructing the deposit transaction (602, 604),
Withdrawal processing is executed (605). If the teller tells the replenishment mode without commanding the trading mode (60
1, 606) When the replenishment process is performed (607) and the replenishment mode is not instructed but the recovery mode is instructed (606,
In step 608, the collection process is executed (609).

6 (a) and 6 (b) show the details of the deposit processing 603 of FIG. First, the case where the teller processes the deposit will be described. When the teller operates the operation unit 406a of the tellers machine 405a and inputs the deposit amount or denomination and the number of deposits, the deposit amount memory N shown in FIG.
KM or deposit amount memory 10,000NMM, 5
This data is stored in 000NMM and 1000NMM. Next, the teller receives the banknote received from the customer by inserting the banknote 101a.
Then, the sensor S1 detects the bills 102a (701), and the pick-up mechanism 103 takes the bills inside one by one (702). The bills taken in one by one are identified by the identification unit 113, and data collection processing is performed according to the identification result (900).

FIG. 8 shows details of the data collection processing 900.

First, 1 is added to the contents of the carrier counting memory AMM (90
1). Next, if any one of skew feeding, double feeding, and chaining is detected (902, 903, 904), 1 is added to the contents of the corresponding memories SH0, JH0, RH0 (9
05, 906, 907). Next, it is checked whether the number of conveyed sheets reaches a predetermined value, for example, 1000 sheets (908),
If not reached, the data collection process ends. 1000
If the number of sheets is reached, the memories SH0 to SH3, JH0 to J

Transfer to JH1 to JH4 and RH1 to RH4 (909). Then, the memories SH1 to SH4, JH1 to JH4, RH1
The average value of the contents of RH4 is calculated, and the memory SHA, JH
It is stored in A and RHA (910). Then, it is checked whether or not the flags SHB, JHB, and RHB are already set, that is, whether or not the abnormality occurrence frequency has become excessive in the past is checked (911, 9).
14, 917), otherwise average SHA, JHA, RH
It is checked whether A is larger than a predetermined value, for example, 8 (9
12, 915, 918), and if larger, flags SHB, J
HB and RHB are set, and memories SH4 and JH at that time are set.
4, the contents of RH4 are set in the memories SHC, JHC, RHC, and the date (supplied from the calendar unit 418) at that time is set in the memories SHD, JHD, RHD (913, 917, 919). These are performed in order for skew feeding, double feeding, and chaining as shown in the figure.

The banknotes that have passed through the identification unit 113 are banknote aligner unit 104a.
Then, it is moved to one side of the transport path and is high-grade identified by the bill identifying unit 104b (703). When it is identified that the thickness is abnormal, skew, chain, double feed, or fake bill (7
04), the lever L1 is switched to be sent to the transport paths n and z,
It is returned to the outlet 112 (705). When it is identified as normal, the deposit count memory 10000 KMM, 5
1 for the corresponding denominations of 000KMM and 1000KMM
Is added (706).

When the bill discriminating unit 104b discriminates that the upper side is the back side (707), the front and back side is reversed by the front and back reversing unit 105 through the conveyance path h (708). When the ticket is identified as a front ticket, it is passed through the front / back reversing unit 105 and sent to the conveyance path d (709). As a result, the front and back are aligned, and the money type temporary holding sections 312, 313, 314
(711).

After that, the taking-in operation is continued as long as the sensor S1 detects the bill (712).

When all the bills have been taken in, the teller manually inputs the number of denominations and the total amount (obtained and counted) displayed on the display unit 407 of the tellers machine 405, and manually before the deposit process. Compare with the amount of deposits and withdrawals or the number of denominations. Then, when these match, the deposit key is operated (713).

Even if some banknotes are returned from the depositing / dispensing machine and the value manually input and the value displayed on the display unit 407 do not match, the approval key may be operated by agreement between the teller and the customer. In this case, the bill returned from the depositing / dispensing machine is returned to the customer.
On the other hand, when the return switch is pressed on the operation unit 406a of the tellers machine, the money is on the teller side (715), so that the bills in the money type temporary holding units 312, 313, 314, and 315 are automatically fed out, and the transport paths h, p, and It is conveyed to the outlet 112 through c, n, and z (716, 717). This conveyance is continued by the sensors S52, S53, and S54 until all the bills in the temporary holding section are exhausted (718).

The returned banknotes may be reinserted from the insertion opening 101a, or may be additionally inserted when dividedly inserted.

When the approval key is operated in step 713, the banknotes held in the money type temporary holding units 312, 313, and 314 are stored in the cassette units 302 to 305 (72).
3). Then, the total deposit amount memory GKM, the deposit counting memory 10000KMM, 5000KMM, 1000KM
M is cleared (718).

When the customer himself / herself deposits money, it is almost the same as the depositing processing by the teller described above, but the bills 102b inserted from the deposit / withdrawal unit 101b are taken in one by one by the take-in mechanism 103b, and the sensor S3 detects the bill. The sheet is sent out to the conveyance path r and sent to the identification unit 104b until it does not occur. If the identification unit 104b identifies an abnormal thickness, skew, chain, fake bill, etc., the identification unit 104b returns the bill to the deposit / withdrawal port 109 of the deposit / withdrawal unit 101b through the transport path q. Also, the money type temporary holding section 312,
For the banknotes accumulated in 313, 314, when it is desired to stop the deposit transaction according to the customer's instruction (714), the banknotes in the temporary holding sections 312, 313, 314, 315 are automatically fed out (719), and the return changeover switch 406c. Is operated to return to the teller side (720), it is returned to the input port 112 through the transport paths h, p, c, d, and q (721). Also, if the switch 406c is operated to return it to the customer side, it is returned to the input / output port 109 (723). Then, the bills are continuously taken out until the bills are no longer detected by the sensors S52, S53, S54 (724). In addition, if all of the customers who have been taken out forget to take the customer, and the sensor S8 does not detect the bill for a predetermined time or longer (725).
It collects in the forget-to-take collection box (726).

FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b) show the details of the withdrawal process 604 of FIG. The case where the teller processes the withdrawal will be described. The teller uses the operation unit 4 of the tellers machine 405a.
When the user operates 07a, the withdrawal amount memory S shown in FIG.
The withdrawal amount is stored in KM. Then, the CPU 401 determines the denomination required for withdrawal, sets "1" in the withdrawal denomination flags MFL to SFL in FIG. 3 (b), and also determines the number of coins to be withdrawn according to the denomination, and outputs this. 100 gold memory
Stored in 00SMM to 1000SMM.

First, it is determined whether or not the denomination flags necessary for the investment are set to "1" in the order of 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 1,000 yen (801, 802, 803). Then, for example, if the flag MFL of ten thousand yen is "1", the taking out of ten thousand yen is started.
That is, the bills (10,000-yen bills) in the first storage cassette unit 302 are taken out by the feeding mechanism 306 (804), detected by the sensor S17 of the feeding bill detecting unit 414, and 1 is added to the taken-out number memory TMM (808). . Then, the sheets are sent one by one to the transport paths x and g. The above operation is the same for 5,000 yen and 1,000 yen (805, 8).
06). When none of the withdrawal money type flags MFL to SFL is set to "1", an abnormality is displayed on the display unit 407 of the tellers machine 405 (807).

The taken-out banknotes pass through the conveyance paths f and g, and the payout identification unit 10
No. 8 is sent, and the identification for withdrawal is made (809).
Then, as in the case of deposit, the data collection process (900)
Is performed. The details are similar to those shown in FIG. When it is identified that the sheet is being conveyed in an abnormal state such as skew feeding, double feeding, and chaining (810), the conveying paths h, i,
After passing k, it is stored in the reject unit 301 (811).
When the bill discriminating unit 104b discriminates that the upper surface is the rear surface as a result of the front and back discrimination (812), the front and back reversing unit 1
The front and back are reversed at 05 (813). On the other hand, if it is the surface, it is sent to the transport path n as it is. And the bill validator 104
When it is determined in b that the bill is an abnormal denomination, for example, when the bill is a 1,000-yen bill despite being taken out from the first storage cassette unit 302 (814), the bill (thousand-yen bill) is Collection-dedicated cassette section 310 through the transport paths n, o, i, l
To (815).

When the bill is a proper bill (normal bill), 1 is added to the identification number memory SBM of FIG. 3 (a) (816) and the bill is sent to the outlet 112. It is sent to the outlet 112. The bill sent to the outlet 112 is also detected by the sensor S7 and 1 is added to the payout number memory. The above-described operation is repeated until the value of the taken-out number memory TMM matches the value of the withdrawn number memory SSM (817). Take-out number memory TMM
When the content of the withdrawal number memory SMM matches the content of the withdrawal number memory SMM, it is then determined whether the content of the withdrawal number memory TMM matches the content of the identification number memory SBM (81
8) If they do not match, the taken-out number memory TMM is rewritten so that the contents thereof match the contents of the identification number memory SBM (819).

If the contents of the taken-out number memory TMM match with the contents of the identification number memory SBM in step 818, the contents of the identification number memory SBM and the contents of the payout number memory HMM are then compared (820), and if they match. For example, since it means that the payout is normally completed, the flag of the matched denomination (MFL when the amount is 10,000 yen) is reset to "0", and the takeout number memory TMM is also cleared (821). ).

Next, it is judged whether or not the other denomination (5,000 yen, 1,000 yen) flag is set to "1" (822), and if it is set, the bill of the next denomination is taken out. .

When all the take-out processes are completed, the teller checks the display section 407 of the tellers machine 405 to confirm whether the payment is normally completed, and operates the end key or the cancel key. When the end key is operated (823), after the teller has taken out the banknotes (825), all memory and flags RF
L is cleared (826). In step 823, if the user wishes to cancel the payment, such as when the payment ends abnormally, the cancel key of the operation unit 406a is operated. In this case, the taken-out number memory TMM is cleared (828), and the bills paid out at the same time are The bill is taken out by the teller, set in the replenishment mode, and then collected from the bill insertion slot 101a.

If re-emission is necessary (829), the teller resets the memory and repeats the operation (830).

When the customer performs the withdrawal process, the customer-side operation unit 405b is used to input the required withdrawal amount or the denomination and the number of coins, and the withdrawal amount memory S similar to the withdrawal process by the teller.
KM or withdrawal number memory 10000SMM, 5000S
The data is stored in the MM and 1000 SMM, processed in the same manner thereafter, and discharged to the input / output port 109 through the transport path (d, q). When the end key is operated (82
3) After the payout process (not shown in FIG. 7) is performed, the customer has to take out the bill (825). When the customer wants to cancel, the cancel key of the operation unit 406b is operated,
In this case, the taken-out sheet number memory TMM is cleared, one sheet is taken from the take-in mechanism 103b one by one, and the denomination is identified through the identification section 101b, and then the cassette sections 302 to 3 are categorized by denomination.
04 or the replenishment / recovery cassette unit 305.

If the contents of the identification number memory SBM and the payout number memory HMM do not match with each other in step 820, it is determined whether the re-dispensing flag RFL is on (831).
If it is off, that is, if it is the first ejection, the flag RFL is turned on (832). Then, the temporarily held banknotes are taken inside one by one by the taking-in mechanism 103b and collected in the collecting-dedicated cassette section 306 through the transport paths r, n, o, i, and 1 (833). Then, the takeout number memory TMM, the identification number memory SBM, the payout number memory HM
M is cleared (834). Then, the denomination necessary for withdrawal is determined based on the withdrawal amount stored in the withdrawal amount memory SBM of FIG. 3 (a), and the withdrawal type flags MFL to SFL of FIG. 3 (b) are set. When "1" is set and the number of coins to be disbursed is set to the disbursement amount memory 10000S
It is stored in the MM to 1000 SMM (835). Then, the process returns to step 801, and the casting is performed.

If the RFL flag is turned on in step 831, the collection is performed similarly to step 833 (836), an alarm is issued (837), and the device is prevented from being taken out again. This is because it is judged that there is an abnormality in the device and that it is necessary to inspect, adjust, etc., because the disagreement has occurred successively after the two ejections.

In the above-described embodiment, the banknote collecting dedicated cassette unit 310 is used.
However, they may be collectively collected in the temporary holding unit 315 and fed again, or the identifying unit 1 may be used.
04b through denomination temporary holding section 312, 313, 31
Alternatively, the sheets may be accumulated in 4 and fed again. In this case, at the time of the second collection, the banknotes may be put in the collection-dedicated cassette section 310.

The identification unit for detecting an abnormality in feeding and conveying is not limited to the position shown in FIG. 1, but may be arranged immediately after the mechanism for taking in the deposited banknotes. Also, the skew number memory SH1 to SH
4, multi-feed number memory JH1 to JH4, chain number memory R
Each of H1 to RH4 is not limited to four. Further, the skew alarm memory SHC, the double feed alarm memory JHC, and the chain alarm memory RHC have the newest data SH1 and JH even when it is determined that the frequency of occurrence of abnormality is excessive.
Although 1 and RH1 are stored, the average value of the data of 4 times may be stored. Although the contents of the date memory and each alarm memory are displayed on the display unit of the processor, each processor may be provided in the central control room, or the processor manufacturer that maintains the processor. It may be possible to connect online to the business establishment of the above and display it there.

Further, the present invention can be applied to the case where the inserted bills are taken in and temporarily held in a lump sum type or collectively, and the held bills are taken out again and stored.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to statistically monitor the occurrence of an abnormality in the delivery and conveyance of paper sheets. Therefore, the parts can be replaced, adjusted, and the like before the failure of the paying machine occurs, and the failure can be prevented.
