[0078] Step 2: The banknotes pass through the pre-detection device 11 and enter the temporary banknote storage port 121 of the transfer station 12. During this process, the counting module 112 and the serial number recognition module 113 perform pre-detection on the banknotes and record the pre-detection results, including the amount, quantity and serial number of the banknotes.

[0079] Step 3: The customer confirms the predicted results of the delivered banknotes (the number of each amount, the total amount). If there is a dispute, the banknotes can be taken out from the temporary banknote storage port 121 and the transaction is terminated; if there is no objection, the customer is asked to sign and confirm the results (the banknote denomination, number of sheets, serial number), and the customer is informed that the banknote verification result is subject to TCR.

[0080] Step 4: The customer confirms to continue depositing the banknotes. The banknotes will enter the TCR from the temporary banknote deposit port 121 for formal banknote verification and counting and the serial number will be recorded again; normal banknotes (i.e., those that pass the formal inspection) will enter the banknote box, and suspicious banknotes (i.e., those that fail the formal inspection) will be discharged from the banknote outlet 122.

[0081] Handling of business processing disputes: Based on the third step, the customer's confirmation of the pre-inspection result is retained, which records the banknote serial number in detail. The banknotes at the banknote outlet 122 in the fourth step can be checked with the pre-inspection result of the third step (serial number) and evidence can be provided through the serial number.

[0089] In this embodiment, the pre-detection performed by the pre-detection device 11A includes pre-detection items including counting, authenticity identification and serial number recognition for the banknotes entering the banknote conveying channel 115A, and the formal detection performed by the detection component 132A includes formal detection items including counting and serial number recognition for the banknotes received from the banknote inlet and outlet channel 134A. In a practical embodiment, the pre-detection items performed by the pre-detection device 11A on the banknotes may also include only authenticity identification, only authenticity identification and counting, or only authenticity identification and serial number recognition; the formal detection items performed by the detection component 132A on the banknotes may also include only one of counting, authenticity identification and serial number recognition, or a combination of the two. When the customer confirms the pre-detection results and the formal detection results, the customer may print the pre-detection results and the formal detection results on paper and then sign on the paper to confirm. When the customer confirms the pre-test results and the formal test results, he or she may also confirm them by means of an electronic signature. In this case, the pre-test device 11A also includes a display unit (not shown in the figure), which is electrically connected to the pre-test device 11A and TCR 13A, and is used to display the pre-test results and the formal test results to the customer.

[0090] When the cash processing device 1 of this embodiment is used, its banknote detection method includes:

[0091] The pre-detection device 11A performs pre-detection on the received banknotes and records the pre-detection results, and transmits the banknotes that pass the pre-detection to the transfer station 12A;

[0092] The banknotes transmitted by the pre-detection device 11A are received through the transfer station 12A and temporarily stored. After the customer confirms the pre-detection result, the temporarily stored banknotes are transmitted to the TCR 13A through the transfer station 12A;

[0093] The TCR 13A receives the banknotes transmitted by the transfer station 12A, performs formal inspection on the received banknotes, and stores the banknotes that pass the formal inspection.

[0094] Among them, the pre-detection of the received banknotes by the pre-detection device 11A includes counting the received banknotes, distinguishing the authenticity and identifying the serial number. For the banknotes identified as genuine banknotes (that is, passing the formal detection), they will be transmitted to the temporary banknote storage port 121A of the transfer station 12A through the banknote transmission channel 115A of the pre-detection device 11A. For the banknotes identified as counterfeit banknotes (that is, failing the formal detection), they will be returned to the banknote return port 116 of the pre-detection device 11A through the banknote return channel 117 of the pre-detection device 11A; the formal detection of the received banknotes includes counting the received banknotes and identifying the serial number.

[0095] The banknote detection method is specifically applied to bank tellers when they are handling business, and its working process includes:

[0096] Step 1: Put the banknotes in a stack from the banknote inlet 114A;

[0097] Step 2: Start the pre-detection device 11A, and the banknotes enter the banknote conveying channel 115A for counting, counterfeiting detection and serial number recognition. After completion, the banknotes that pass the pre-detection (i.e. normal banknotes) enter the temporary banknote storage port 121A, and the banknotes that fail the pre-detection (i.e. suspicious banknotes) enter the banknote return port 116.

[0098] Step 3: The customer confirms the pre-inspection results of the delivered banknotes (denomination, number of sheets and authenticity of the banknotes). If there is a dispute, the banknotes can be taken out from the temporary deposit port 121A and the return port 116 and the transaction is terminated; if there is no objection, the customer is asked to sign and confirm the results (denomination, number of sheets and serial number of the banknotes).

[0099] Step 4: The customer confirms to continue depositing the banknotes. The banknotes will enter the TCR from the temporary banknote deposit port 121A for formal banknote verification and counting and the serial number will be recorded again. During this process, the authenticity of the banknotes can no longer be determined.

[0100] In the cash handling device and banknote detection method of the embodiment of the present invention, by setting a pre-detection device, a transfer station and a TCR, the functions of the banknote counter and the TCR are integrated together, which can reduce redundant components and thus reduce costs; the entire deposit process can be completed by placing banknotes once, so that the entire operation is streamlined and efficiency is improved; the two steps of confirming the number of banknotes and storing banknotes are completed in the same device, so the entire process is coherent, and the received banknotes can be pre-detected and the pre-detection results can be recorded through the pre-detection device, and the received banknotes can be formally detected and the formal detection results can be recorded through the TCR, which is conducive to tracing problems that occur in the intermediate links. In particular, the traceability can be greatly improved by the serial number that is saved in both steps, avoiding disputes between tellers and customers.
