In the variant of this feature, guide finger 26 is not limited in the guide rail 29, but can come out from its open end.Similarly, guide finger 27 also can be extracted out from guide rail 30 fully.Therefore, when using this variant, can remove this bag fully.
The electrical connection that one of can be in two ways be established to bag.In first method, the device (not shown) that is connected is installed in a bag 5a, 5b, 5c is last and assortment of bank note device 1 on so that when this bag is in its rotine positioning, connect, connect and pull into forward to disconnect when holding paper is removed the position when this bag.Mounted connector is so that adaptor union is concentrated toward each other when bag 5a, 5b, 5c pushed its rotine positioning.
In second method, the line connector (not shown) of drawing from bag 5a, 5b, 5c passes the central opening of guide finger 26.In this structure, guide finger 26 protection line connectors are not worn when bag 5a, 5b, 5c are mobile between routine and holding paper removing position or not damaged by other.Provide loop line in the line connector on the outside of bag 5a, 5b, 5c, so that cable is not in tension when bag 5a, 5b, 5c are in holding paper removing position.
In another variant, bag 5a, 5b, 5c have unique guide finger 31 in each side.This guide finger is limited in the guide rail 32.Figure 43 illustrates this point.Latch (not shown) on operation bag 5a, 5b, the 5c is to drag bag 5a, 5b, 5c forward.
The 3rd feature that will be described below is convenient to remove holding paper in the zone of feeder system 4.Show in detail holding paper among Figure 36 and remove, it shows the other parts of accumulator 100 and feeder system 4.
As can see from Figure 36, accumulator 100 comprises base plate 101 and back plate 102.Back plate 102 and other member that is positioned at the feeder system 4 above the base plate 101 can rotate around axle 120, so that they can separate with all members of feeder system 4 below base plate 101 and the base plate 101.The rotation of back plate 102 is exposed the slit between the member of the upper and lower feeder system 4 of base plate 101, thereby allows to fetch the banknote that is clipped in that zone.
In a variant, incite somebody to action back plate 102 by a pair of latch of one of every side and maintain its routine operation position.Yet in preferred variant, constant force spring 121 is pushed other member of back plate 102 and the feeder system 4 above the base plate 101 to base plate 101.Constant force spring 121 is connected on the coupling compoonent 122, and this coupling compoonent is connected to again on the side plate 123 of other member of back plate 102 being installed and being positioned at the feeder system 4 above the base plate 101.Thereby can by being lifted and fetch the banknote of clamping from base plate 101, back plate 102 remove holding paper simply.
Because it is constant moving the resistance of back plate 102, it is favourable not using stretching or torsion spring so use constant force spring.This can form contrast with the stretching of minimum drag or torsion spring will be provided when back plate 102 is in operating position.It can cause presenting several banknotes at every turn.In addition, resistance is along with back plate 102 is removed and increased from base plate 101.For the user who attempts to remove holding paper, this may be bothersome.
Figure 44 and 45 shows the section-drawing of part feeder system and transmitter system.Especially, they show base plate 101 and back plate 102.Visible light emitter 128 is installed on the plate 102 of back, and corresponding receptor is installed on the base plate 101.These are used to detect passing through of document between them, during document passes through, and the light crested of projector 128 emissions, thereby can not be received device 127 and detect.
Feeder system
By the feeder system 4 shown in best among Figure 12,17 and 18 banknote is introduced assortment of bank note device 1.
Banknote stack to be classified is placed in the accumulator 100 that is limited by base plate 101 and back plate 102.For example, in Figure 13, on the base plate 101 of accumulator 100, show wad 103.
A pair of concentrated guide rail 104 can move along the track that groove 105 limits, until they by the width of banknote to be classified separately.Concentrate in the depression 106 of guide rail 104 in its lower end extends to base plate 101, slide into below them to prevent banknote in the accumulator 100.
Each concentrated guide rail 104 is connected on the (not shown) of tooth bar separately that is positioned at plate 102 back, back.This tooth bar extends in a lateral direction toward each other back plate 102, and each is engaged with the miniature gears (not shown), so that moving of a concentrated guide rail can make another move corresponding amount.Therefore, adjust and concentrate guide rail 104 to make them separately, guaranteed that banknote is concentrated in the accumulator 100 by the width of banknote to be classified.
Can on the plate 102 of back, provide mark to indicate guide rail 104 should move to which position, think that particular denomination provides correct interval.Because moving of a guide rail 104 can cause the corresponding of another to be moved, so can provide different marks near each guide rail 104.For example, ￡ 5 and ￡ 20 marks that provide on the plate 102 of back can be provided left rail 104, and right rail 104 has ￡ 10 and ￡ 50 marks.
Visible or the infrared radiation of launching the aperture of passing in the base plate 101 107 by the projector (not shown) detects and occurs or do not occur banknote in the accumulator 100.If banknote, then banknote reflects the part radiation emitted by aperture 107, and is detected by relevant detection device (not shown).If there is not banknote, then not reflected radiation.The detection of banknote can be used for automatically starting feeder system 4 and this banknote of classifying.
By touching wheel 108 bottom of banknote from heap is fed into the assortment of bank note device 1.These touch wheel 108 and have rib portion, and the opening that this rib portion is passed in the base plate 101 extends radially outwardly into outside the radius of the circumference remainder that touches wheel 108.When touching wheel 108 rotations, the periodically outstanding groove that passes in the base plate 101 of this rib portion.Clamp nethermost banknote and it is pushed assortment of bank note device 1 by rib portion.Touch wheel 108 by 109 drivings of DC electrical motor, by using forward pole excitation (forward polarity excitation), this DC electrical motor 109 operationally makes this axle that touches wheel 108 110 rotations is installed on it.Slotted disk 111 is installed in this a end, and be arranged so that touch the wheel 108 just moved past in the base plate 101 recess the time this groove by the photodetector 112 on the left side board 15b that is installed in assortment of bank note device 1.Therefore can monitor the turned position that touches wheel 108 in view of the above.
When touching wheel 108 when picking up last of a collection of banknote to be presented, will detect has not as mentioned above had banknote.Then motor controller (subsequently describe) by next detect at detector 112 groove 111 by the time apply reversed pole excitation (reverse polarity excitation) to electrical motor 109 and make electrical motor stop operating (this also can stop to present document because of certain reason decision and take place).The reversed pole excitation is applied in predetermined a period of time, and this causes electrical motor 109 brakings.This predetermined amount of time long enough does not make its backward rotation with effective brake motor.This braking time section emptied feeder system 4 for last banknote long enough before stopping at electrical motor 109.Usually, then remove this excitation, also can apply than the low amplitude value reverse energization and pin this electrical motor determining preventing its rotation, even also can apply external force from electrical motor.This is not enough to cause this electrical motor to rotate than the low amplitude value reverse energization.
Stop position that can selective feeder system 4 is so that charging wheel 113 experience revolution almost before setting about first of new a collection of banknote to be presented.This allows it fully to quicken.Can be from the position of detector 112 and groove 111 definite wheels 113.
A pair of backward rotation separator drum 115 is cooperated with charging wheel 113, to prevent to be fed to banknote in the transmitter system more than one at every turn.
Separator drum 115 is installed on the axle 116 that supports among side plate 15a, the 15b.With the rotation direction axle drive shaft 116 opposite with the axle 114 that charging wheel 113 is installed.Therefore, if presented two banknotes to charging wheel 113, then counting rotational separator cylinder 115 will be with respect to the banknote of the lowermost end banknote to the pusher top, thereby prevents that it from entering this transmitter system.Groove in the corresponding charging wheel 113 of ridge in the separator drum 115, vice versa.This makes the banknote of presenting between them adopt waveform profiles, and has found that this helps raising to present performance.
Come axle drive shaft 116 by touching forked assembly periodically by the centrifugal installation wheel (not shown) that is connected to charging wheel shaft 110.This forked assembly is connected on the axle 116 by the free-wheel clutch (not shown).Because this coupling arrangement, so separator drum 115 rotates very slowly, and this cylinder 115 weares and teares equably.
Use the gap between thumb wheel 118 (see figure 5)s adjustment separator drum 115 and the charging wheel 113.Rotate thumb wheel 118 and cause the rotation of eccentric cam (not shown), it adjusts the interval between separator drum 115 and the charging wheel 113 again successively.
Single wheel 117 (dolly roller) rotatably is installed on the axle 116 between two separator drums 115, and is shelved on the middle body of charging wheel 113.The second single wheel (not shown) also is shelved on the charging wheel 113, but is positioned at the rear positions of separator drum 115.It is to be abutted against charging wheel 113 by spring-loaded.Single wheel and charging wheel 113 and separator drum 115 cooperations more than one, and prevent that banknote is overlapping with the banknote that prevents to present at every turn.
Have been found that presenting soft banknote has problem, rotate because their leading edge takes turns 113 along charging easily, rather than be fed in the forwarder.The mode that overcomes this problem has been shown among Figure 42.Wherein, carry around the central concave place of charging wheel 113 and the respective wheel 125 that is installed on the axle 126 with 124.Arrangement is with 124 lower face that just are positioned at charging wheel 113 at the contact point place with charging wheel.Yet, as can be seen, be with 124 will prevent that banknote from following its motion when 113 rotations of charging wheel.On the contrary, they will be fed in the forwarder.
Transmitter system
Figure 12,13 and 18 shows this transmitter system best.
Drive this forwarder by DC electrical motor 200, the output shaft of this electrical motor has the tooth rotating band to be connected on the tooth drive pulley 202 by first.Second has tooth rotating band 203 to be connected with drive pulley 202, and also extends around tension roller 204, second drive pulley 205 and the 3rd drive pulley 206.
Tension roller 204 is installed on the cutting back axle that is connected to the subplate (not shown).This subplate is fixed on the side plate 15b by the screw that passes the groove in the subplate.This allows subplate to move with respect to side plate 15b, and can adjust the tension force of rotating band 203.
Centering on has the periphery of tooth drive pulley 202 that groove array 208 is provided, and these grooves pass through photodetector 209 when pulley 202 rotates.Photodetector 209 detects passing through of each groove 208, and by the corresponding pulse of these photodetector 209 outputs.Can use these pulses that timing wave is provided, the position when these signals can be used to again determine banknote by this transmitter system.Banknote locations between timing pip can be carried out interpolation, so that higher resolution to be provided.
Have tooth drive pulley 202 to be installed in an end of axle drive shaft 210, this axle drive shaft 210 is supported in the bearing in each of left side board and right side board 15a, 15b.A pair of belt conveyor pulley 211 is installed on this axle drive shaft 210.These two pulleys 211 spatially separate, and each is used to drive belt conveyor 212 (seeing Figure 14) separately.The a pair of rubber wheel 224 that the banknote that is provided by feeder system 4 is installed on the axle 225 promotes forward, and this is 225 by 206 drivings of the 3rd drive pulley.These banknotes are clamped between belt conveyor 212 and a pair of pinch wheels (pinch roller) 213 then, and their cooperations are drawn in transmitter system with these banknotes.
Figure 13 analyses and observe the track that there is shown belt conveyor 212.Can see that each belt conveyor 212 forms endless loop between belt conveyor pulley 211 and heading tape pulley 214.The banknote that is fed to this forwarder from feeder system 4 is with 212 to transmit by detector system 300, is diverted to separately output bag 5a, 5b or the 5c from this forwarder by any one of three diverters then.Any banknote of not shunted is put in the substandard products bag 6 automatically.
In the alternate embodiment shown in Figure 46 and 47, rotating band 212 does not extend around pulley 211, but drives around pulley 230 extensions and by it, and described pulley 230 is installed on the axle 229 that the 3rd drive pulley 206 is installed.In this embodiment, be with 212, circulate around wheel 231 with anticlockwise direction then in a clockwise direction around pulley 230 circulations.Incorporate the track shown in Figure 13 with 212 again into by pulley 228 circulations that lean around nearly minimum group of pulley 228 then.Pulley 211 is advanced to banknote the minimum group of pulley 228 that drives with 212 that be transmitted that below will describe simply by one or more guide plate (not shown).Minimum group of pulley 228 is advanced to banknote in detector system 300 and the belt conveyor 212.
Figure 37 to 39 shows the improvement of the forwarder that can use with this alternate embodiment.The banknote that this improvement has improved between feeder system 4 and the detector system 300 is handled.
In this improves, replace pulley 211 with three pulleys 232.Three with 233 around corresponding and be positioned at the wheel 234 of axle on 235 and carry of pulley 232.
Also have three with 236 around three pinch wheels 237 (it replaces pinch wheels 213), be installed in the wheel 238 on the axle 239 and be installed in wheel 240 conveyings on the axle 241.
Can see, go along adjacent track with a part of length of 233 and 236 accordingly, banknote is led between feeder system 4 and the detector system 300.
Each end in axle 235 and 239 provides external and takes turns 242, when being fed in this detector system to improve banknote to the control at its edge.Typically, the slit of 0.5mm is set between wheel 242, imports with the good banknote of guaranteeing detector system, this monitor system has the 1mm slit usually.Wheel 242 is formed from steel typically.Yet they also can be by making such as suitable materials such as polymer or rubber.Wheel 242 location can be clamped to form then, its objective is for banknote being imported this detector system.
Support belt 233 and 236 axle 235 and 239 can be the (not shown) that spring is installed, so that during operation these bands are maintained its rotine positioning (as shown in the figure), and allow the user to remove the band assembly, carry out holding paper and remove thereby can enter into this transmission track.Yet, the holding paper degree seldom that banknote conveyor is improved to that provides with 233 and 236.Therefore, as more cheap substituting, this installation can be fixed, and can remove the banknote of clamping banknote is moved on to the point that it can be fetched by using handle 207 to twine belt conveyor.Detector system 300 is provided with eight axles 227,227a, and wheel 228 is installed on these axles.All axles 227 link together by O type endless belt 226, so that make them all rotate in concert.Axle 227a is supported in the bearing simply, so that make them freely to rotate.Nethermost two axles 227 link together by two O type endless belt 226 owing to transmit necessary additional torque between them.Because these take turns the banknote that just leads simply, and these banknotes are by being with 212 to drive, and are enough so use O type endless belt drives that these take turns.Therefore, wheel can slide with respect to banknote, and does not have serious consequence.
These take turns 228 with wheel 215, guarantee that banknote keeps excellent contact with detector in detector system.By belt conveyor 212 axle drive shafts 227, and the effect of the O type endless belt 226 by adapter shaft 227, banknote is driven through detector system 300 with constant speed, even banknote is with respect to being with 212 to slide.
Pinch wheels 215 along every belt conveyor 212 near the track between belt conveyor pulley 211 and the substandard products bag 6 is provided at every belt conveyor 212.Each pinch wheels and contiguous pinch wheels 215 segment distance location that is separated by, this distance needs the width of the minimum banknote of processing less than assortment of bank note device 1.So, banknote always is constrained between at least one pair of pinch wheels and a pair of belt conveyor 212.
Between near the every pair of pinch wheels 215 the detector system 300, also provide center gear 216.Near the detector system 300 these are gone up (seeing Figure 16) to each of pinch wheels to each axle of each end upper support that all is installed in the side of back access cover 22 with corresponding center gear 216.
Six pairs of pinch wheels 215 in detector system 300 downstreams are supported in the so-called H type spring (seeing Figure 16).H type spring 218 is made by spring steel, and promotes pinch wheels 215 and pass aperture 217 in the access cover 22 of back against belt conveyor 212.Each pinch wheels 215 is shown as and is installed in each by on the axle 219 of H type spring 218 firm grip.Each H type spring 218 is installed on the access cover of back by cushion block 220, with center shaft that pinch wheels 215 the is provided correct interval to belt conveyor 212.
Another arrangement be by single center H type spring 218 with single axis suspension, and this has the pinch wheels 215 that is installed in its corresponding left side and right-hand end.
In another embodiment, will take turns the 215 coil springs replacement H type springs 218 of pushing belt conveyor 212 on 219 with acting on axle.
The top pinch wheels 215 that provides in access cover is installed on the access cover by spring clip 221.Spring clip 221 is made by spring steel.
Another embodiment has been shown among Figure 41.The figure shows the replacement mechanism that is used for around the top guide banknote of machine.In this mechanism, banknote is fed to 243 and is installed in the folder between the wheel 244 of axle on 245.This band is carried around the wheel 246 that is installed on the axle 247.This mechanism provides the guiding of banknote accurately around the machine top.
Each has three pairs of pinch wheels 215 that are provided in the rear surface output bag 5a, 5b and 5c so that when output bag 5a, 5b and 5c during at operating position they and belt conveyor 212 agree with.
This forwarder is provided with pair of sensors, and this sensor is used to detect passing through along the banknote of this forwarder by each point.First sensor is called as the back and detects (post-detect) sensor 222.This sensor is an optical sensor, and it comprises visible light or infrared transmitter and relevant detection device.This sensor can be based on transmission or principle of reflection work.In this transmissive system, detector and projector separate, so that the banknote that passes through along forwarder will interrupt this projector radiation emitted light beam, and are detected by this detector.In this reflecting system, the banknote that passes through can reflect the projector radiation emitted, so that detected by detector.In both cases, this projector and this detector can be provided with glass or plastic window, are wiped clean the dust of this window by the banknote that passes through.Can be automatically when not having document to occur and adjust the magnitude of current that imposes on this projector periodically, to guarantee the failure-free operation.
This technology can be used to compensate the existence of the dust that the banknote that do not passed through on this window removes, or compensation reduces the projector of light output along with tenure of use, or along with the situation of the susceptibility that changes detector tenure of use.
Second sensor is called as pre-shunting (pre-divert) sensor 223, and its with back detecting sensor 222 identical principle work.
These sensors allow to confirm the position of banknote two separation points in forwarder.Can use aforesaid groove array 208 and photodetector 209 to infer the position of banknote from these two fixed positions then.
Other sensor of similarity can be provided after each diverter (not shown), whether successfully be diverted to the output bag from this forwarder to detect banknote.Also can use such sensor to determine that the banknote of not shunted has arrived preposition.
In fact, the sensor that provides after each diverter can be used for also determining that the banknote that will be shunted is successfully shunted.For example, if after the passage schedule time, do not detect banknote, can suppose that so this banknote is successfully shunted with the particular diverter sensor associated.This schedule time can begin by upstream sensor (for example, the sensor relevant with the upstream diverter or presort flow sensor) time from banknote.Can adjust this time according to transfer rate, corresponding reduction schedule time during very fast transfer rate.If the sensor relevant with diverter detects the appearance of the document that should have been shunted really, then forwarder can be stopped so that the user can get involved.
Can use groove array 208 and photodetector 209 positions of prediction banknote in forwarder.If after detect or presort flow sensor 222,223 and do not confirm this banknote not occur in orthochronous (in predefined allowance error), then can indicate holding paper, and stop this forwarder to the user.
The predicted position of banknote or document can be considered the banknote of the sort of type or the mobility that document experiences with respect to forwarder.Predefined allowance error can change according to different types of documents similarly.
If the slippage of banknote between two sensors 222,223 also is not enough to cause indicating holding paper, then can use its prediction other local slippage at this forwarder.
In addition, can use this slippage that the measurement of the wrinkling degree of banknote is provided, and can be used to the banknote of classifying.
In another embodiment, provide more than a sensor in back detection and pre-shunting position.It is laterally spaced that these sensors pass assortment of bank note device 1.Can avoid error detection or failure detection by monitoring all sensors then.Because the bevelled banknote will be arrived by a sensor before being detected by proximity sense, so also can detect this bevelled banknote.This can help diverter to take action in time when banknote tilts, and detects because this banknote will also be transmitted an outer sensor of device usually before being detected by master reference.
The guiding that is used for this forwarder part is made of plastics, because the advantage of its damping capacity can reduce noise inherently.
Detector system and two go into detector
Figure 14 shows three detector 301a, 301b and 301c.These detectors are installed in separately the metal case, and each metal case has each connecting panel 302a, 302b and the 302c from its extension, and connecting panel 302a, 302b and 302c are as the guiding of banknote by detector system 300.The advantage that the support of connecting panel 302a, 302b and 302c and detector 301a, 301b and 301c is integrated is that connecting panel and detector can be adjusted simultaneously with respect to belt conveyor 212.
In one embodiment, detector 301a is a contact image sensor.The (not shown) transmission of the response infrared source of such sensor is by the infrared radiation of banknote, and response visible light that launch from sensor itself and that reflected by banknote.Can detect the pattern feature (being the image on the banknote) and the stain degree of banknote from the visible light of reflection.In addition, can forwarder with detector 301a opposing face on the second contact image sensor 301d (shown in Figure 37 to 39) is provided.Unless can also determine banknote in forwarder towards which face (that is, which face at outermost and which face in the inside), when the pattern of banknote can not be used for determining its face amount, this setting was useful especially.For example, for India's currency, provide face amount that reverse contact image sensor allows to determine banknote and towards.
In addition, detector 301a to 301e can comprise magnet-wire pattern checking system, such as senior magnetic detection system (SMDS).Typically, this will be detector 301b.Described such system in disclosed European patent application EP 1221679A, EP1353302A and EP1353301A, its content mode is by reference included this specification sheets in.In addition, they can comprise that the sensor response is so that detect so-called synthetic banknote.These synthetic banknotes are will extremely thin rectangularly be combined together to form the banknote that counterfeit money is made from what other true banknote was obtained by pseudo-manufacturing operation.
In addition or alternatively, detector 301a to 301e can comprise one or more following detectors: uv reflectance sheet properties detector; Reflect visible light contact image detector and transmits infrared contact image sensor (for example, detector 301a can be an infrared transmitter, and detector 301d can be an infrared remote receiver).
Assortment of bank note device 1 is equipped with thickness detector, is also referred to as two detectors of going into, if contingent two banknotes pass simultaneously when being used for detecting aforesaid disconnector disabler.Show in detail this pair among Figure 23 and 24 and go into detector.
Each wheel assembly 213 comprises cylindrical bearing, and this cylindrical bearing has annular outside track 304, annular inner orbit 305 and the bearing between inner orbit and outside track 306.This cylindrical bearing is co-axially mounted on the ring-shaped rubber part 307 with axle 303.Metal pin 308 is in abutting connection with the inner radial surface of inner orbit 305, and extends through the aperture 309 in rubber part 307 and the axle 303, enters into this axle.
Molded plastic stent 310 is installed in the axle 303, and comprises the mesotube part 311 that integrates with end portion 311a, and each end portion has the hole 312 that communicates with tube portion 311.A pair of light-emitting diode 313 is installed in the inner in hole 312, and a pair of phototransistor 314 is installed in the outer end in hole 312.For the sake of clarity, only illustrate from light-emitting diode 313 to phototransistor the part of 314 connection lead.In fact, these lines will pass the supervisory circuit that is installed on the detector system PCB along axle 303, will describe below.For the ease of assembling, all lines are from same terminal extension of axle 303.Each part 311a of support 310 also has the aperture 315a that communicates and aim at aperture 309 with hole 312.Pin 308 extends through aperture 315 and enters into hole 312.
The circuit of describing in detail among Figure 25 has been described two light-emitting diodes 313 and the phototransistor 314 that all is connected on the power supply 316.Circuit part shown in dotted line centers on is mounted in the part in the plastic stent 310.By each current probe 317 telegram in reply source 316 is presented in the output of each phototransistor 314.The output of detector 317 is fed into microcomputer 318.Microcomputer 318 causes the signal of detector 317 to be routed in corresponding a pair of memory device 310 and the comparator 320 selected one.The output of comparator 320 is connected to microcomputer 318.
At first, belt conveyor pulley 211 rotates, and, follow the skew of each wheel assembly 213 that the compression near each rubber part 307 of pulley 211 takes place together to wait space intervals to be detected with 40 that the mode that will describe rotates a circle by wheel assembly 213 when not having banknote to occur between pulley 211 and the clamping wheel device assembly 213.The compression of each rubber part 307 on inward direction radially will be attended by each pin 308 radially inner moving.Each LED 313 launches the light that is radiated on the phototransistor 314 separately constantly, so that they partly are switched on usually.If pin 308 radially moves inward, then pin 308 will little by little cover from LED 313 to phototransistor the path of 314 light, thereby increase the light quantity of cutting off phototransistor 314.The output of phototransistor 314 (I) is fed to current probe 317, and this current probe provides the output of each collector current to represent.Under the control of microcomputer 318, on 40 equidistant positions of pulley 211 to these outputs sample (this determines by photodetector 209 by monitoring groove 208).Then the current value of sampling is stored in the memory device 319 separately as the guide surface profile.The typical case who detects by the 321 explanation current probes 317 of the line among Figure 26 exports.40 sampling locations appear between the initial point and mark A position of the chart among Figure 26, and the guide surface profile comprises that line 321 is to the part of position A and comprise dotted portion 322.Figure 26 has illustrated the output of wheel assembly 213 through current probe 317 in a plurality of rotations, and comprises that as can be seen the guide-contour of line 321 and dotted portion 322 is basic identical in each part of OA, AB, BC and CD.
Each LED 313 launches the light that is radiated on each phototransistor 314 constantly, causes the collector current of each phototransistor 314 by initial level.Each pin 308 part usually covers light path.When banknote 323 appears at folder 324 between belt conveyor pulley 211 and the corresponding pinch wheels assembly 213, banknote 323 is picked up and is transmitted by pressing from both sides 324, and owing to pass through bearing 306 and inner orbit 305 applied pressures from outside track 304, each rubber part 307 is inwardly compression radially.Should move and also will be accompanied by each pin 308 radially inner moving, therefore this will further cover from LED 313 to phototransistor 314 optical path, thereby further weaken the light that is sent to transistor 314.
Microcomputer 318 waits the space interval places constantly to the output signal sampling of detector 317 at same 40, but change into these signals is routed to separately comparator 320.By the line among Figure 26 325 explanation owing to occur the example of one group of output signal that individual banknotes causes in the folder 324.Can see that the part of line 325 is identical with line 321, but just basic different through sample area OA part back.Comparator 320 compares these 40 values and corresponding 40 values of being stored in the memory device 319 successively, and signal wire (SW) 326 (seeing Figure 25) go up generate with these values between difference relevant output, this output feeds back to microcomputer 318.Difference between the appropriate section 322 of the profile that can be contemplated that the signal of line 325 descriptions from the banknote with basic fixed thickness and be stored is a basically identical.
Then microcomputer 318 with the signal on the line 326 and previously stored threshold ratio, this threshold value has been set to low relatively rank.This is by dotted line 327 expressions.When this threshold value in many sampling locations (usually can be) because the length of banknote is usually than all length of pulley 211 less than 40 when being exceeded, suppose that banknote is by folder 324.Banknote occurs if two phototransistors 314 all detect, then microcomputer 318 increases by 1 with count value.In addition, can change (normally increase) this threshold value, so that its expression detector output and corresponding to the difference between the storage profile of the banknote of banknote one half thickness with detection.Except half, also can use other mark.Line 328 has illustrated the detector output in new threshold value.
For banknote subsequently, use new threshold value and repeating said steps.When detecting banknote, count value increases by 1 at every turn.Figure 26 has illustrated the detection of individual banknotes during time period OA, AB and BC continuous rotation pulley 211.
In addition, microcomputer 318 determines whether detector output signal indicate the thickness greater than threshold value 329, and 1.5 times of this threshold value 329 expression individual banknotes thickness show have two banknotes to pass folder 324 simultaneously greater than the indication of this threshold value.In this case, microcomputer 318 will cause mis-information to be shown on the telltale 11, can cause assortment of bank note device 1 to stop in addition.The example of the such output that comes self-detector 317 has been described by line 330.
For the representative type material, because the foul that banknote brings, two continuous complete rotations of pulley 211 and pinch wheels 213 unlikely make phototransistor 314 that the output of all fours is provided.Thereby, for example, appearing in the folder 324 even without banknote, the output subsequently that current probe 317 is sensed can have the shape shown in the line 331 among Figure 26.Yet, after the sampling and comparison under microcomputer 318 control, microcomputer 318 will determine detector output and the profile stored between difference do not surpass this threshold value, and thereby microcomputer 318 will not think that banknote takes place to be passed through.
In addition, through after a while, the output of detector 317 can change significantly, and its change amount is similar with the amount that expectation from the passing through of banknote obtains.For device still can be moved, before with new wad classification, microcomputer 318 makes the new profile of memory device 319 storages replace the profile 321,322 of storage in the past.By this way, must automatically be corrected by of the change of the microcomputer 318 initial threshold values of determining according to profile.
In some cases, folding banknote may pass this device, and in this case, microcomputer 318 will transmit the signal that indicates cash ticket 323 to a comparator 320, then represent not have banknote to occur to the signal that other comparator 318 transmits.Microcomputer 318 can be from going out the different difference of they expressions along line 326 to the signal detection of its transmission, and under these circumstances, can make the suitable mis-information of telltale 11 indications.
Microcomputer 318 also can be programmed, can detecting half banknote and folding banknote, and with the banknote of inclination mode feed-in.In addition, an important feature is to determine the length of feed-in banknote.Under situation, can little by little determine just by the length of the banknote of feed-in more accurately in the output of eight or more a plurality of monitoring position phototransistors 314.Because this provides a kind of method that does not rely on the measurement banknote length of time, so particularly useful.
As previously explained, LED 313 and phototransistor 314 are installed in the molded plastics support 310, and can slip into or skid off axle 303.In order to assemble this device, support 310 is pushed into axle 303 together with LED 313 and phototransistor 314, until aperture 309 and 315 is aimed at.Rubber part 307 is installed around axle 303 then, and each pin 308 interpolation slit passes rubber part 307 and aperture 309 and 315.At last, inner orbit and outside track 305 and 304 and bearing 306 be installed in around the rubber part 307.
If desired, pin 308 can be installed in the wheel with shown in antipodal position, position, pin outwards moves like this, banknote by press from both sides 319 can the minimizing light cover.
Also can use opaque detector to carry out and two go into to detect, and detector system 300 can comprise such detector.
Shunt system
Figure 27 shows the lateral plan of the part of assortment of bank note machine 1.Assortment of bank note machine 1 comprises three diverter assemblies 400,401,402, and each diverter assembly is placed near the transmission track 403, and operationally banknote is diverted to each bag 5a, 5b, the 5c from transmission track 403.Any banknote of not shunting from transmission track 403 is stored substandard products bag 6.
Figure 28 shows the more detailed view of one of paper diverter assembly 400,401,402 with transparent view.Diverter assembly comprises axle 404, and axle 404 is installed among bearing 405a, the 405b, and described bearing is contained in the two opposite sides of assortment of bank note machine 1.A plurality of diverter wheel blades 406 are nonrotatably mounted tO on this axle.Diverter wheel blade 406 is typically by lightweight but crash-resistant material is made for example glass reinforced plastics.The material that substitutes comprises Carbon Fiber Rein forced Plastics or aluminium.Because these materials are electrical conductivity materials, so can be used for the static that lost banknote brings.
At an end of axle 404, diverter axle pulley 407 is installed, this diverter axle pulley is connected on the DC driving motor 408 by elastic drive band 411 and driving motor pulley 412.The elastomeric O-rings band that elastic drive band 411 is tightened around diverter axle pulley 407 and driving motor pulley 412 typically.Terminal point block piece 413 is installed on the fixing baffle plate 414, makes terminal point block piece 413 give prominence to the grooves 415 that pass in the diverter axle pulley 407.Like this, the rotation of axle 404 is restricted to the arc that size limited by groove 415.Like this, terminal point block piece 413 defines first and second positions of diverter wheel blade 406 with groove 415.
Alternatively, terminal point block piece 413 can be installed on the subplate, and this subplate can move with respect to remaining component.After this manner, can adjust the position of terminal point block piece 413, for example adjust its position in paper diverter assembly 400,401,402 with the compensation changeability that other forwarders are located banknote when banknote leads.
By these diverter wheel blades 406 are turned to two primary importances in the position, can be from transmission track 403 these banknotes of shunting, and when being in the second place, banknote continues on transmission track 403.
Figure 29 and 30 shows diverter assembly respectively at the lateral plan of first and second positions.In Figure 29, diverter axle pulley 407, then diverter axle 404 and diverter wheel blade 406 clockwise rotate far away as far as possible so that the right-hand member of groove 415 compresses terminal point block piece 413.Diverter wheel blade 406 is positioned so that the paper by slit 416 (this slit forms the part of transmission track 403) along the top of diverter wheel blade 406 along being divided among a bag 5a, 5b, 5c be associated with diverter corresponding one.
On the contrary, in Figure 30, diverter axle pulley 407 to far away as far as possible, is made the left end of groove 415 compress terminal point block piece 413 by left-hand revolution.By the paper in slit 416, such as banknote, along being shunted, make banknote continue along guide plate 417 along the end of diverter wheel blade 406, this guide plate also forms the track of transmission track 403.Like this, banknote is from transmission track 403 shunting, and proceeds to next diverter assembly 5b, 5c or in substandard products bag 6.
The operation of diverter assembly is described referring now to Figure 31.In the figure, show the timing diagram of the relative timing that is used to show shunting signal and motor current.The figure shows and be used for only one signal of three diverters, but be identical for other two these operations.
In Figure 31, having made decision is diverted to specific banknote a bag 5a, 5b, the 5c from transmission track 403.As a result, at T
0Provide shunting signal, this makes the motor driver that is incorporated in the controller with electric current I
MAXDriving motor 408.I for example
MAXIt can be 1.5 amperes.Behind time Δ T, motor current is reduced to I
HOLD, I for example
HOLDIt can be 0.5 ampere.Select time Δ T with guarantee diverter wheel blade 406 at electric current from I
MAXBe reduced to I
HOLDCan move to the another location from a position before.By driving motor 408 by this way, this diverter wheel blade is moved to position shown in Figure 29 1, and banknote is divided in the corresponding bag.
In time T
1, controller is made another banknote and is not shunted but continue decision on transmission track 403, so this shunting signal is correspondingly cancelled.The result is that the polarity of motor current is inverted and is set to-I
MAXAmplitude.This makes diverter turn back to the position 2 shown in Figure 30.Once more, at T
1Time Δ T afterwards, the electric current of electrical motor is reduced to-I
HOLD, under this value, continue to flow.It is highly important that and to recognize that time Δ T in fact can be different for each direction of operating of diverter.
This method of motor control makes diverter wheel blade 406 promptly change the position, but motor current is reduced to Grade I then
HOLD, I
HOLDMake diverter axle pulley 407 head on terminal point block piece 413, but it is not enough to overheated and thereby damage electrical motor 408.Can ad infinitum apply the electric current I of this reduction to this electrical motor
HOLD
The surprising advantage that by this way electric current of electrical motor is reduced to holding current is the speed of response that the polarity chron that changes motor current can increase diverter, this be because with holding current I
HOLDThe magnetic field that is associated is than maximum current I
MAXMagnetic field a little less than, thereby need overcome magnetic field than low amplitude value.Therefore, when needs diverter wheel blade 406 changed the position, diverter is response rapidly.
In the representative type example, I
MAXValue is 1.5A, and motor current is being reduced to I
HOLDApply 20ms (being Δ T=20ms) before=0.5A.In addition, the action that continues driving motor 408 prevents that rotating band 411 is lax, and can prevent that diverter wheel blade 406 from by mistake being moved.Electrical motor 408 does not continue rotation, but stops, and so, applies even twisting moment to driving motor pulley 412, thereby diverter wheel blade 406 is firmly maintained original position.
When needs diverter wheel blade 406 changes the position, because electrical motor 408 began to rotate before the inertia that overcomes diverter assembly 400,401,402, so elastic drive band 411 is in tensioned state.For example, if electrical motor 408 anticlockwise directions rotate to the position 2 shown in Figure 30 from the position shown in Figure 29 1, then rotating band 411 left sides will be tightened.The result of this operation is, rotating band 411 is at diverter axle 404 and diverter wheel blade 406 rotation storage energy, and bumps against terminal point block piece 413 and alleviate diverter wheel blade 406 at the left end of groove 415 and after the resilience of terminal point block piece 413 this energy is input to the described system.In essence, the energy that is stored in the rotating band 411 is attempted diverter axle pulley 407 was dragged terminal point block piece 413, and this has prevented that diverter axle pulley 407 is from 413 resiliences of terminal point block piece.
Figure 32 shows the scheme drawing of controller 418, be positioned in this case on the motor controller PCB, this controller 418 is used for driving motor 408 drives assortment of bank note machine 1 together with electrical motor 409,410 other two diverter assemblies 401,402.
Under the situation that provides signal DIVERT#1, controller 418 makes output driver 419 driving motors 408 in electric current I
MAXThe following Δ T time will make diverter wheel blade 406 be moved, so that banknote is shunted from transmission track 403.After Δ T, controller 418 makes output driver 419 that the electric current of electrical motor 408 is reduced to I
HOLDAs former description, keep this holding current, make output driver 419 driving motors 408 at electric current-I up to controller 418
MAXFollowing Δ T time thereby diverter wheel blade 406 is turned back to default position make no longer and to cancel DIVERT#1 this moment from transmission track 403 shunting banknotes.After Δ T, electric current is reduced to-I
HOLD, before providing DIVERT#1 once more, keep-I
HOLDValue.
Figure 35 schematically shows possible the mode of improving assortment of bank note device 1, make the banknote that mixes appearance with the configuration that faces up and face down can be deposited in the bag, and all banknotes is identical configuration, promptly is to face up or is to face down.In Figure 35, present the banknote that will be deposited in the output bag 45 along transmission track 427.If banknote be in correct towards, then do not start diverter 426, this banknote carries out along first transmission track 422.Then this banknote stack is placed in the output bag 425, and do not change its towards.
Yet, if banknote is not in the configuration of expectation, for example wish that banknote is to face up but it is to face down, drive diverter 426, along second transmission track, 423 these banknotes of shunting.This transmission track 423 is sent to spiked drum 424 with this banknote, this gear reverse inherently banknote towards configuration, and with this banknote to be stored in the output bag with its original opposite configuration.Therefore, all are exported in the bag 425 with identical being deposited in towards configuration along the banknote that transmission track 427 transmits.
In another embodiment, can replace diverter electrical motor 408 to 410 with linearity or rotary solenoid.
The output bag
Each output bag 5a, 5b and 5c are formed by metal case 500, and this metal case is folded up and sealed output bag element and also form container 501, and the banknote that is diverted to each bag can be deposited in this container.
Three axles that every pair of pinch wheels 213 is installed on it are arranged in the shell 500 of bag 5a, 5b or 5c; With and on the 4th of a pair of spiked drum 512 is installed.The axle that spiked drum 512 is installed with its on a pair of pinch wheels 213 is installed axle in 502 be connected rotationally, make this spiked drum and belt conveyor 212 as one man mobile.
Show this point among Figure 33 and 34 best.In Figure 33, can see the axle 502, this 502 be wherein be equipped with a pair of pinch wheels 213 the axle in one.The pulley 503 that is installed on the axle 502 is connected with pulley 505 by rotating band 504, and pulley 505 is connected with pulley 507 by another rotating band 506.As can see from Figure 34, pulley 507 is installed on the axle 508 of the width that passes bag.The other end of axle 508 is equipped with pulley 509, and pulley 509 is connected on the spiked drum pulley 511 by rotating band 510.As can see from Figure 34, rotating band 510 intersects, and makes that the rotation direction of spiked drum 512 is cws in Figure 34.Spiked drum pulley 511 is installed on the same axle with spiked drum 512.
Be driven to the tooth of spiked drum 512 from the banknote of transmission track shunting, be stapled to then in the container 501.
By the appearance of banknote in banknote sensor emission device 513 and corresponding banknote sensor detector 514 detection receptacle 501, example as shown in Figure 12.These banknote sensor emission device 513 emitted radiation light beams, banknote sensor detector 514 detects this radiation laser beam by the aperture in the shell 500 515.When banknote was put in the container 501, this radiation laser beam was interrupted, and banknote occurred thereby can detect.
In another distortion of output bag, the output bag has the driving motor (not shown) of oneself.This has some advantage, because it can reduce the cost of output bag surprisingly.In this case, spiked drum 512 can be independent of forwarder and stop, and this banknote that allows to mate certain stack features when spiked drum stops to be retained in the spiked drum.
For example, the banknote that detector system 300 can be designated as counterfeit money is diverted in the output bag, and the driving motor of output bag is stopped, and makes this banknote be retained in and erectly presents to the user in the gear 512.
Can for example presort flow sensor 223 by at one of forwarder sensor, sense schedule time after the document and removed the driving that imposes on this output bag driving motor during length and encourage, spiked drum 512 is stopped.In this case, it is possible that the document forwarder keeps operation, because it is an individual drive.
The substandard products bag
Any banknote of not shunting from forwarder is stored substandard products bag 6.In Figure 18, can see this point best.
Can see that this substandard products bag is a can 600 simply, not have the banknote stack of shunting to be placed on this container.One group of fingerboard 601 is installed on the axle 602.When in container 600, banknote not occurring, in the outstanding aperture 603 of this fingerboard through container 600.Yet when banknote stack was placed in the substandard products bag, this caused this fingerboard to be lifted, thereby S. A. 602, and this axle 602 is the start sensor (not shown) operationally.Because fingerboard 601 is lifted largely by aperture 603, so fingerboard 601 is outstanding through helping to detect first banknote that enters substandard products bag 6 in the aperture 603.If fingerboard 601 rests the bottom of substandard products bag 6 simply, moving of causing when first banknote enters into this substandard products bag 6 so is too little, and can not distinguish.
Described sensor can be the microswitch that the rotation by axle 602 starts.Yet the startup of microswitch may need sizable energy.Another possibility that overcomes this problem is included in the end installation baffle of axle 602, and this baffle can interrupt the light beam between projector and the detector when axle 602 rotates.Alternatively, can come mobile baffle, make this baffle no longer stop light beam when in substandard products bag 6, banknote occurring by turning cylinder 602.And another possibility is included in axle 602 end magnet is installed, and the rotation of axle moves near near (in fact, perhaps can away from) hall effect devices magnet, and this hall effect devices is responded to exist (or not existing) of this magnet.
Thereby, can detect in container 600 and banknote occurs.Fingerboard 601 also can be used for preventing the banknote substandard products bag 6 that flies out.
As shown in figure 40, substandard products bag 6 can be provided with and cover 604.Lid 604 can rotate around hinge-point 605 hinge joints, thereby can remove banknote from substandard products bag 6.Yet, shown in the position, the banknote that is diverted to substandard products bag 6 is resisted against (it combines with lid 604) on the baffle plate 606, thereby prevents the banknote substandard products bag 6 that flies out.

The forwarder controller PCB has been shown among Figure 21.
This forwarder controller PCB receives 7.8 volts power supply from motor controller PCB, and uses 5 volts of adjusters 900 that this power supply is adjusted to 5 volts.Use 5 volts of circuit supplies that are output as on the forwarder controller PCB of this adjustment.
The output of 5 volts of adjusters 900 of power supply monitor 901 monitoring and from 32 volts of power supplys of power subsystem unit 19 if this any one of two drops to separately below the predetermined threshold, is then sent reset signal to C167 microprocessor 902.This power supply monitor 901 is also by RS422 interface 903 receiving system reset signals, and this system's reset signal makes master controller PCB can reset forwarder controller PCB and motor controller PCB as mentioned above.This RS422 interface 903 is also from forwarder timing detector 209 received signals.This interface is used to improve the immunity to interference of signal, otherwise this signal may tend to indicate one of them error detection of groove array 208, leads to errors and measures forwarder speed and displacement.

Last operation mode is an information pattern, and this information pattern enters from idle mode by pressing " TOTAL " key.Under this pattern, may be displayed on the telltale 11 or be sent to PC such as the sum of classified banknote or their information such as value.
The configuration of substandard products bag
For example, can use ultraviolet, infrared, magnetic chart sample, magnet-wire sign indicating number or size detector to test the reliability of banknote, and can be considered to insecure banknote and send to substandard products bag 6 any.Other possible example comprises based on stain degree, hole, tears, grade of fit folding and the magnet-wire infringement detects.Banknote also may since fitfull occur, such as inclination present, double feed or stream presents banknote and is sent to substandard products bag 6.
Telltale 11 can be used for indicating which detector in use by display icon, and can be adjusted the sensitivity of the detector of some type by the user.
Provide the CFA key on the keyboard 10 to allow the user to turn off reliability detector.And grade of fit detector and banknote detector occurs and keep enabling.
The output bag
Lower two output bag 5b and 5c are called as the classification bag, and control by the signal that comes from detector system 300 banknote is distributed in these bags.
Use the feature of banknote to be classified in the classification bag, be all standards of this bag setting as long as it satisfies.The banknote that does not satisfy any one standard in the classification bag is sent to output bag 5a.Yet in some cases, the user can be configured to bag 5a to receive the banknote of some type, and in this case, any one banknote that is not categorized into bag 5a to 5c is sent to substandard products bag 6.
Following table shows each banknote feature and bag is provided with, and this bag setting can be applied to any one of output bag 5a to 5c.
| Feature | Bag is provided with | Meaning |
| Face amount | Close | Do not use the face amount classification.The banknote of any face amount can send to this bag |
| Automatically-1 | Present first face amount | |
| Automatically-2 | Present second face amount | |
| Fixing | The user specifies desired face amount | |
| Distribution | Close | Do not use the bank note issue classification.The banknote of any distribution can send to this bag |
| Automatically-1 | Present first distribution | |
| Automatically-2 | Present second distribution | |
| Fixing | The user specifies desired distribution | |
| Direction | Close | Not service orientation classification.The banknote of any direction can send to this bag |
| Automatically-1 | Present first direction | |
| Automatically-2 | Present second direction | |
| Fixing | The user specifies desired direction | |
| Towards | Close | Do not use towards classification, any towards banknote can send to this bag. |
| Automatically-1 | Carry first towards | |
| Automatically-2 | Carry second towards | |
| Fixing | The user specify desired towards | |
| Grade of fit | Close | Do not use the grade of fit classification.The banknote of any grade of fit can send to this bag |
| ATM | The ATM grade of fit rank that presets | |
| The cashier | The cashier's grade of fit rank that presets | |
| Fixing | The user specifies desired grade of fit rank | |
| Distribution country | Close | Do not use the distribution country classification.The banknote of any distribution country can send to this bag |
| Automatically-1 | Carry the first distribution country | |
| Automatically-2 | Carry the second distribution country | |
| Fixing | The user specifies desired direction |
Use automatic-1 is provided with disposes bag, presents to receive first banknote type.For example, under the situation of face amount, bag 5b is set to will to make automatically-1 it to receive all and the identical banknote of face amount of first banknote that is fed to assortment of bank note device 1.Shu Ru first banknote with different denominations will be sent to output bag 5c subsequently, and the face amount of this banknote will become the face amount of the banknote that is fed into bag 5c subsequently.The banknote of all other face amounts will send to output bag 5a.
Another possibility classification mode is based on the face amount of the banknote that just is being classified.In this pattern, the banknote of a selected face amount is classified in first of a bag 5a, 5b and 5c.Each other banknote (except sending to the banknote of substandard products bag 6) is classified among a bag 5a, 5b and 5c second.Being categorized into banknote value of selected face amount of first bag and the banknote value that is categorized into second bag can be kept, and may be displayed on the telltale 11 or on the count display 8a to 8c.
Other banknote feature that can use currency for example with assortment of bank note in each output bag 5a to 5c.
In another operation mode, can specify two bags alternately to receive the banknote of classification, make that for example the banknote of ￡ 10 begins to be categorized among bag 5b, until it is full of, at this moment banknote will alternatively be categorized among bag 5a.Bag 5b was cleared when this can make bag 5a load banknote, and when bag 5b became full, banknote can be categorized among bag 5a again.This makes the operation that this machine can be continuous.
The extension of this pattern is described best by example.In this example, the assortment of bank note of ￡ 10 is in bag 5b, and the assortment of bank note of ￡ 20 is in bag 5c.Example uses bag 5a as described above then, but in this case, the banknote in the bag that its reception bag 5b and 5c at first are full of.
Also can operate this segregator with " single emission " pattern, make when bag when reaching its capacity, present a banknote from accumulator 100 for each.This pattern is advantageous, because might have several banknotes in the forwarder, and these several banknotes may be categorized in the specific bag in theory.Yet if in these banknotes makes this bag change full, remaining banknote can only be denied in the substandard products bag 6." single emission " pattern has prevented this situation because in forwarder, have only a banknote at any time, and if this banknote make bag become full, then no longer present banknote from accumulator 100.
Grade of fit is measured
The independent result that the algorithm that is used to generate the grade of fit signal will come from several grade of fit detectors (for example, stain detector, hole detector, tear detector and folding detector) carries out comprehensively.Each of these parameters can have the weight factor that imposes on it, to determine its influence to whole grade of fit signal.This weight factor changes in 0 to 255 scope.
Comprehensive advantage is carried out in the measurement of weighting is, for example, and seriously makes dirty or has the banknote of very big folding line the same, and slight banknote folding and that slightly make dirty also is rejected, and all these are unacceptable equally.
In order to make each parameter contribution equate that all factors all should be set to 127.Weight factor is increased to will increase the influence of this parameter to the grade of fit signal more than 127, reduce this value and then reduce its influence.Weight factor be set to 0 make this parameter to the grade of fit signal without any influence.
The user can adjust the weight factor of each grade of fit detector, with the balance of control grade of fit criteria for classification.
The user can specify specific grade of fit category level to output bag 5a to 5c, or alternatively, can use two to preset one of rank.
First presets rank and is called as ATM, is used for classifying being adapted at the banknote that Automatic Teller Machine uses.Second grade of fit rank is called as FIT, is used to classify be suitable for the banknote that the teller reissues.
Can use grade of fit to detect in two ways.It can be used for unaccommodated banknote is sent to substandard products bag 6, maybe can be used for being classified into output bag 5a to 5c according to the grade of fit rank of banknote.
As mentioned above, the signal times that will receive from each detector is with weight factor.This detector can detect banknote stain degree, the size that banknote tears, the size of the folding line in the banknote, the area in the hole in the banknote, the infringement amount that is embedded in the line in the banknote and the size of banknote.Then the signal of weighting is added to and generates summation together.If summation surpasses predetermined threshold, then this banknote can be denied in the substandard products bag 6.Perhaps, according to the value of summation, can be with assortment of bank note to output bag 5a to 5c.
With reference now to following table, the alternate mode of operation of using weight factor is described:
| Weight factor | The grade of fit rank | Stain (%) | Tear (mm) | Folding line (mm) | Hole (mm 2) | Line (%) | Size (mm) |
| OFF | 10 | 0 | 10 | 30 | 100 | 5 | 10 |
| -4 | 9 | 10 | 9 | 27 | 81 | 15 | 9 |
| -3 | 8 | 20 | 8 | 24 | 64 | 25 | 8 |
| -2 | 7 | 30 | 7 | 21 | 49 | 35 | 7 |
| -1 | 6 | 40 | 6 | 18 | 36 | 45 | 6 |
| 0 | 5 | 50 | 5 | 15 | 25 | 55 | 5 |
| 1 | 4 | 60 | 4 | 12 | 16 | 65 | 4 |
| 2 | 3 | 70 | 3 | 9 | 9 | 75 | 3 |
| 3 | 2 | 80 | 2 | 6 | 4 | 85 | 2 |
| 4 | 1 | 90 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 95 | 1 |
| 5 | 0 | 100 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 100 | 0 |
In this substitutes, can use each grade of fit detector with two kinds of different modes.They can be used as the substandard products detector, inappropriate thus banknote is sent to substandard products bag 6, maybe they can be used in the grade of fit classification mode, with the grade of fit rank of foundation banknote with the different output bag 5a-5c of they guiding.
For example, the weight factor of acquiescence is 0, and the banknote that feasible size with any folding line surpasses 15mm sends to substandard products bag 6.Similarly, any banknote that tears greater than 5mm also will be sent to substandard products bag 6.Yet if apply-2 weight factor and to tearing detector and apply-3 weight factor to the folding line detector, any banknote and any banknote that tears above 8mm that has above the folding line of 21mm will be denied to substandard products bag 6.
Also this pattern can be used for the grade of fit classification of output bag 5a to 5c.For example, the ATM state of acquiescence be equal to be at least 5 grade of fit rank and the FIT situation to be equal to be grade of fit rank 8 at least.With the folding line detector is example, this means that the banknote that is used for ATM (automatic teller machine) (ATM) can have the folding line that is no more than 15mm altogether, and the banknote that the cashier uses is no more than the 24mm folding line.Correspondingly, the banknote that satisfies grade of fit rank 1 to 5 can be categorized into output bag 5a, and the banknote that satisfies grade of fit rank 5,6,7 or 8 can be categorized into output bag 5b.Thereby the user knows that the banknote among bag 5a can be used for ATM, and the banknote of bag 5b can use for the cashier.Yet if apply-2 weight factor, folding line is that the banknote of 21mm will be considered to satisfy ATM grade of fit rank, will be considered to satisfy FIT grade of fit rank and folding line is the banknote of 30mm.
In batches and stop condition
Each output bag 5a to 5c acquiescence has the maximum batch capacity of 100 banknotes.The restriction of each output bag of 5a to 5c can be adjusted to the maxim that is up to 200 banknotes respectively.
Also can specify maximum number in batches by the maxim that may appear at the banknote in the bag is set.In this mode, will automatically adjust in batches size according to the face amount of banknote.Thereby for example, when bag had received the banknote of the banknote of 100 ￡ 10 or 50 ￡ 20, because their total values all reach ￡ 1000, this bag can stop so.In addition, also can dispose this segregator, make bag receive first banknote that the heap from be placed on accumulator is presented, all banknotes subsequently that have identical face amount then in the heap all are fed in the same bag, and the banknote in bag reaches maxim.Other banknote of same face amount can be diverted in another bag then, and first bag is emptied.Alternatively, in other bag can receive in the heap first banknote and all banknotes with this different denominations subsequently with first banknote different denominations of presenting.Usually, all banknotes that are detected as counterfeit money will be denied to substandard products bag 6.
Any pattern that this assortment of bank note device 1 can be configured to three kinds of stop modes shown in the following table is operated.
| Stop mode | Describe |
| Single | Any bag of change stops sort operation when full. |
| Circulation A | When all being full of, two classification bags stop sort operation.If the user soared them when these two bags became full, then segregator will circulate between |
| Circulation B | When being full of, classify |
In order to make user interface simple as far as possible, assortment of bank note device 1 is automatically selected stop mode.Acquiescently, use single stop mode.Yet 5b will be configured to have identical setting with 5c if the user will export bag, use the circulation A stop mode.If output bag 5a and 5b do not have classification setting (that is, they can accept any document), then select circulation B stop mode.
The banknote identification control
Usually assortment of bank note device 1 is used to handle banknote, and detector system 300 attempts to discern these banknotes.Yet in some cases, need classification or the document of counting except that banknote, for example check or document.In this case, the forbidding document recognition is handled, and the detector of any dependence face amount information is all inoperative.
Value shows
The number of the document in each of output bag 5a to 5c can be shown as the value of number (that is, the number of the document among the bag 5a to 5c) or document on telltale 11, this value is summation or each face amount.The user can be switched between these shown information at any time.
The type that shows will not influence the operating mode of segregator 1.Except pent those patterns of banknote identification control, no matter be which kind of classification mode, these two kinds of demonstrations all are available.
Single bag telltale 8a to 8c is limited to three figure places, and only shows the number of that bag.
The hot key pattern
The scheduled justice of the most frequently used sort program, and distribute to the hot key of having described, make and can select by pressing single key implementation pattern.
Following table shows the classification setting of hot key pattern.
| Hot key | Identification | Pattern | 1 (end) of bag | Bag 2 (in) | Bag 3 (tops) | Substandard products | Stop mode | Remarks |
| Counting (number of document) | Close | Grade of fit issue by denomination direction towards | The Guan Guanguan pass | The Guan Guanguan pass | The Guan Guanguan pass | The banknote of the detector refusal of being selected by Any user | Circulation B (when institute's marsupial all becomes full, stopping) | Document outside the counting banknote.Between bag, circulate continuously, all become full up to institute's marsupial |
| Value (number of banknote) | Open | Grade of fit issue by denomination direction towards | The Guan Guanguan pass | The Guan Guanguan pass | The Guan Guanguan pass | Unidentified banknote, other face amount and the banknote of being refused by the detector that Any user is selected | Circulation B (when institute's marsupial all becomes full, stopping) | The banknote of counting identification.Between bag, circulate continuously, all become full up to institute's marsupial |
| ATM | Open | Grade of fit issue by denomination direction towards | ATM-1 closes automatically | The cashier-1 is closed automatically | Closing (improper)-1 closes automatically | Unidentified banknote, other face amount and the banknote of being refused by the detector that the user selects | Single (when becoming full for any bag, all stopping) | In assortment of bank note to three a predefined grade of fit classification.All banknotes have identical face amount. |
| ATM * 2 | Open | Grade of fit issue by denomination direction towards | ATM-1 closes automatically | ATM-1 closes automatically | Closing (improper and cashier)-1 closes automatically | Unidentified banknote, other face amount and the banknote of being refused by the detector that the user selects | Circulation A (when |

Assortment of bank note machine 1 has the user can be provided with pattern, and this pattern is indicated this machine will be used for the station and still sat setting, and normally standing when promptly the operator uses this machine still is seated.
In the seat pattern, minimum bag 5c is appointed as main or preferential bag, so for the operator is convenient, bag 5c is with at first filling.On the contrary, in the pattern of station, the highest bag 5a is appointed as main or preferential bag.
Typically, preferential bag receives first banknote of presenting from banknote stack that satisfies predefine feature group (for example, having predefined face amount).All banknotes that satisfy these features subsequently also are fed in this bag.So first and all banknotes that satisfies another feature group (for example, different face amount) subsequently are fed to one of other (non-preferential) bag.
Half as much again is by classification
In this classification mode, the segregator receiving plane up and face down towards the banknote bundles of mixing.The banknote that will have a configuration that faces up of a direction is fed to an output bag 5a (for example), and the banknote that will have a configuration that faces up of other direction is fed to an output bag 5b (for example).The banknote of all configurations that face down is fed to output bag 5c.Remove these banknotes from bag 5c then, and after with their reversings, be put back into and present in the accumulator 100, make them be in the configuration that faces up now, and can be classified into based on their direction among output bag 5a and the 5b.
In this classification mode, the value or the number that are fed to the banknote of bag 5c do not add comprehensive total value or total number (comprehensive total value or total number include only value or the number of bag 5a and 5b).This makes removes or classifies banknote and do not disturb machine operation from bag 5c.
Provided another advantage from the following fact: the maximum number that exists at last at sort operation is two the banknote bundles of not finishing, and at the same time will be towards being categorized in four bags of machines in four bags with direction, is four the bundle of not finishing with there being maximum number.
No value document
It may be useful allowing no value document to be diverted to one of output bag 5a to 5c in some cases.For example, disconnector document (it may comprise the card or the scraps of paper, batch relevant information that machine or human operator can read and just be classified from this card or the scraps of paper) usually is used for indication and which money drawer removes the banknote stack part from.These documents and banknote be diverted to bag 5a to 5c together but do not calculate they open or the value number is favourable.
Speech selection
Also can force to make this machine to enter the speech selection pattern by the predefined bond that machine switched off is pinned when opening it on keyboard then.If the user has selected its inapprehensible language absent-mindedly, this may be useful, and this makes them can revert to the language of its understanding by known handler at an easy rate, and need not overcome the problem of foreign language menu and screen layout.
