A coin case 5 is detachably attached to the coin case 5, and between the coin case 5 and the drawer case 2, there are spare bills for change payment, the highest denomination bills (currently 10,000 yen bills), gift certificates, etc. It is designed so that you can store it.

Further, in the drawer IB shown in FIG. 6, a money case 6 having a bill storage section 3 and a coin storage section 4 is detachably attached to the drawer case 2, and the money case 6 and the drawer case It is designed so that spare banknotes, maximum denomination banknotes, gift certificates, etc. can be stored between the two.

In the drawers IA' and 1B having such a structure, the cashier stores spare bills for change payment between the drawer case 2 and the coin case 5 or the money case 6 in advance, and stores the bills in the bill storage section 3. When there is a shortage of banknotes, spare banknotes for change payment are taken out and the banknote storage section 3 is replenished.

Further, when receiving maximum denomination banknotes or gift certificates from a customer, these are stored between the drawer case 2 and the coin case 5 or money case 6. For example, at the end of the day, after performing IIX operations, the money in the drawer is collected.6 [Problems to be solved by the invention] In conventional drawers, stored banknotes and gift certificates are stored outside the drawer. I can't see it from here.

Therefore, since the spare banknotes for change payment stored between the drawer case 2 and the coin case 5 or the money case 6 cannot be confirmed from the outside, there may be a shortage of banknotes in the banknote storage section 3 when there are no spare banknotes. sometimes ti,
Reserve banknotes cannot be replenished immediately.

In addition, when collecting money after vI calculation work, drawer case 2
Since spare banknotes, maximum denomination banknotes, gift certificates, etc. stored between the coin case 5 or the money case cannot be confirmed from the outside, the user may take the money in the drawer and send an IM without paying attention to this.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a product sales data processing device that solves these conventional problems and does not cause problems in replenishing money for change payments.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In the invention described in claim 1, the money storage case is made detachable from the drawer case, and banknotes can be stored between the drawer case and the money storage case. In a product sales data processing device having a drawer, a notification means, a sensor for detecting the presence or absence of banknotes stored between the drawer case and the money storage case, and the notification means is operated based on a signal from the sensor. It is characterized by comprising a control means.

In addition, in the invention described in claim 2, the money storage case is detachably attached to the drawer case, and a product is sold that has a drawer in which banknotes or gold certificates can be stored between the drawer case and the money storage case. The data processing device includes: a notification means; a sensor for detecting the presence or absence of banknotes or cash notes stored between the drawer case and the money storage case; It is characterized by comprising a discriminating means for discriminating, and a control means for operating the notification means based on the discriminating result of the discriminating means.

[Production m] In the invention described in claim 1, the notification means is operated based on a signal from a sensor that detects the presence or absence of banknotes stored between the drawer case and the money storage case. Therefore, when the cashier is notified by the notification means that no banknotes are stored, the cashier can store the spare banknotes in advance, so there is no problem in replenishing the banknotes.

In addition, in the invention described in claim 2, in the M# calculation work, it is determined whether or not banknotes or gold notes are stored between the drawer case and the money storage case based on the signal from the sensor. The notification means is operated based on the result. Therefore, since the cashier can confirm that there are banknotes or coupons by the notification means, the cashier does not leave money in the drawer behind at the end of the transaction.

[Example] Hereinafter, an actual example in which the present invention is applied to an electronic cash register will be described.
Example A will be explained based on the drawings.

First Embodiment The first embodiment is shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. In FIG. 1,

As shown in FIG. 2, the drawer 1A is housed in the drawer cabinet 7 so as to be freely drawn out forward via the drawer release device 26. The drawer case 2 of the drawer IA is partitioned into a plurality of banknote storage sections 3 for storing banknotes by denomination at the rear, as well as for storing coins by denomination at the front, as shown in FIG. 5 described above. Coin case 5 as a money storage case having a plurality of coin storage sections 4
is stored in a removable manner.

However, in this embodiment, in the recess where the coin case 5 of the drawer case 2 is stored, the presence or absence of cash certificates such as banknotes and gift certificates stored between the drawer case 2 and the coin case 5 is detected using light. A sensor 28 for detection is provided. Note that two light absorbing members are attached to the bottom side of the coin case 5, that is, the surface that receives light from the sensor 28.

Therefore, if a banknote or the like is stored between the drawer case 2 and the coin case 5, the light from the sensor 28 will be absorbed by the light absorbing member 29, so the sensor 28 will be off. If so, the sensor 28 is turned on because the light from the sensor 28 is reflected by the bill or the like.

A signal from the sensor 28 is provided to the CPU II through the 11020. '&ta, 11020
A buzzer 30 is connected to the bottom of the tank as a notification means.

The CPU 11 stores data related to products input from the keyboard 22 in the RAM 14 according to a program stored in the ROM 13, displays the product data on the display section 23, and prints the data on the printer 25. In the X's task, the process shown in the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 is executed.

Here, the CPU II and the ROM 13 provide a discriminating means for discriminating the presence or absence of banknotes or cash notes based on the signal from the sensor 28 during the cost estimation operation, and displaying the fact on the display section 23 based on the discriminating result of this discriminating means. and a control means for notifying this effect by means of a buzzer 30 are provided at the bottom of each tank.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

For example, the settlement operation is executed at the end of the operation on -day. To do this, after switching the mode selection switch 21 to the "accounting" mode, the child/current total key on the keyboard 22 is operated.

When the deposit/account key is operated, the CPU II
The process of flowchart 1 shown in the figure is executed. First, in step (hereinafter abbreviated as S'r) 1, the mode is checked. If the mode is other than "Payment" mode, proceed to other processing, or
If it is in the "Payment" mode, the cashier proceeds to Sr2 to perform memory processing, then proceeds to Sr3 to open the drawer IA via the drawer opening device 26. After collecting money and gift certificates from the drawer case, the cashier , drawer lA
