In addition, in the paper-money counting machine 10 of present embodiment, also can be as shown in Figure 7, the exterior display device (epigyny device) 90 of the count results of the bank note that is provided for individually showing that this paper-money counting machine 10 carries out with the display part 62 of paper-money counting machine 10.

Externally in display device 90, show by the number of the bank note of paper-money counting machine 10 countings.Perhaps, also externally in display device 90, show by the total number of the bank note of paper-money counting machine 10 countings.Here, the displaying contents in exterior display device 90 can be identical with the displaying contents in display part 62, also can be different from the displaying contents in display part 62.

Below, the action of the paper-money counting machine 10 consisted of such structure is described.The method of counting of the bank note that paper-money counting machine 10 carries out specifically, is described.In addition, the action of paper-money counting machine 10 shown below is to be undertaken by each structural element by control part 50 control paper-money counting machines 10.

The bundle of the bank note that at first, the operator should count by paper-money counting machine 10 is placed into throw-in part 12 with stacked state.Then, if the operator presses beginning/stop key, be operating key 58a, the bank note that with stacked state, is placed into throw-in part 12 is produced in housing 11 one by one by producing mechanism 13.Then, by producing the bank note that mechanism 13 produces in housing 11, by transport part 14, transmitted one by one.At this moment, bank note is transmitted according to the order of transmission road 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d.In addition, bank note during being transmitted by transport part 14, this bank note by identification part 20 carry out cash kind, version not, the identification of the true and false, complete damage etc.And, be sent to accumulation section 30 by the bank note of identification part 20 identifications by transport part 14, and accumulation in this accumulation section 30.

(stopping in the counting way moved)

In the paper-money counting machine 10 of present embodiment, when the condition up to specification of the bank note by identification part 20 identification, the bank note of the condition that this is up to specification (below, also referred to as the 1st bank note) is run up to the front of accumulation section 30.Owing to producing mechanism 13 and transport part 14 is driven jointly, while in the way that therefore control part 50 is processed at the counting of bank note, having stopped producing mechanism 13 and transport part 14, the at least a portion that becomes follow-up bank note after the 1st bank note and then (below, also referred to as the 2nd bank note) is retained in the state of transport part 14.

Defined terms (below, also referred to as stop condition) refer to, for example, the 1st bank note for the bank note that should reject (below, also referred to as " rejection bank note ") situation, the number of the bank note perhaps, accumulated in this accumulation section 30 when the 1st bank note is run up to accumulation section 30 reaches the situation of setting etc.As the rejection reason of rejecting bank note, such as enumerating " chain ", " folded sending ", " diagonal ", " version of regulation is not ", " genuine note ", " complete coin ", " can not differentiate the cash kind " etc.The setting of the number of bank note, such as being batch number etc., says the master-strapped unit (for example, 100) of bank note in more detail.In addition, the situation that also accumulation section 30 can be full of, or the situation that the operator supresses the beginning shown in Fig. 8/stop key 58a is made as stop condition.

The stop condition of regulation is pre-stored to be got final product to storage part 56.And control part 50 is being judged to be in the situation that the recognition result of the 1st bank note obtained in identification part 20 meets the stop condition that storage part 56 is stored, output is for making the stop signal of drive division 32c, 32d braking.The stop condition that the recognition result of the 1st bank note and the 1st bank note meet (for example, rejecting reason) also can show in display part 62 or exterior display device 90.

In accumulation section 30, accumulate bank note according to the sequence number by identification part 20 identifications, when the 1st bank note meets in one of them situation of stop condition, will be and then the 2nd bank note of the 1st bank note be retained under the state of transport part 14, will be judged as the 1st bank note that meets stop condition and run up to the upper of accumulation bank note.

After the control part 50 of present embodiment has been obtained the recognition result of the 1st bank note in identification part 20, passed through the timing of the assigned position of transport part 14 in the rear end of the 1st bank note, the output stop signal, the timing about the output stop signal illustrates in greater detail with reference to Figure 10 later.In addition, as mentioned above, drive the drive division 32d that produces section 13 and transport part 14 for example to be formed by the AC motor.With stepping motor etc., compare, AC motor cheapness, but large about its deviation of stop position.Therefore, the timing that stop signal is outputed to drive division 32d becomes important.

Figure 10 means the concept map of the relation between the position of the various sensors of identification part 20 of present embodiment and the bank note that stops in transport part 14.Show the configuration of the various sensors of identification part 20 at the upside of Figure 10.That is, along the transmission direction of bank note, according to the arranged in order of magnetic sensor 24a ~ 24c, Time Pick-off Units 26, line sensor 21,22, thickness measuring roll 28a, 28b, UV sensor 23, Time Pick-off Units 27.For convenient, final roller 15a, the 15b of transport part 14 and the configuration of impeller 32 also illustrate at the upside of Figure 10.

Figure 10 (A) means to be judged as the stop position in the situation that the 1st bank note that meets stop condition has maximum bill length.Figure 10 (B) means to be judged as the stop position in the situation that the 1st bank note that meets stop condition has minimum bill length.

Here, bill length means the length by the transmission direction of the bank note of transport part 14 transmission.Therefore, for example, when bank note in the situation that in transport part 14 Width with this bank note be transmitted, the length of the Width of this bank note becomes bill length.Perhaps, when bank note in the situation that in transport part 14 length direction with this bank note be transmitted, the length of the length direction of this bank note becomes bill length.Suppose that the transport part 14 of present embodiment is with Width transmission bank note.At this moment, the bank note with maximum bill length refers to, in China, is for example 100 yuan notes, approximately has the bill length of 77 millimeters.Bank note with minimum bill length refers to, in China, is for example 1 yuan note, approximately has the bill length of 66 millimeters.And then, in the situation that considered the diagonal of bank note, it is large that the bill length of the maximum of the 1st bank note further becomes.Diagonal refers to that the state that bank note tilts with the transmission direction with respect to bank note is transmitted.For example, in the situation that the upper limit of the angle of diagonal is made as to 15 degree, 100 yuan notes with maximum bill length become the bill length of about 114.5 millimeters.

The 1st bank note B1 and the 2nd bank note B2 of the 1st bank note B1 and then have been shown in Figure 10.The interval of the 1st bank note B 1 and the 2nd bank note B2 (below, also referred to as the bank note interval) for example be made as D12(, 28 millimeters).In addition, the speed of transport part 14 transmission bank note for example is made as 2093 mm/second.

With reference to Figure 10 (A), illustrate that the 1st bank note B1 has for example, stop position in the situation of maximum bill length (, about 114.5 millimeters).After in transport part 14, the 1st bank note B1 of transmission has passed through magnetic sensor 24a ~ 24c and Time Pick-off Units 26, by line sensor 21,22.The cash kind of the 1st bank note B1, version not, the recognition result of the true and false, complete damage etc., data for identification (magnetic data and view data etc.) based on obtaining in magnetic sensor 24a ~ 24c and line sensor 21,22 generate in identification part 20, and are sent to control part 50.

In the state S1 of Figure 10 (A), the rear end E2 of the 1st bank note B1 is shown by the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1 in the moment of line sensor 21,22, the state of B2, completes identification obtaining by data at this moment magnetic sensor 24a ~ 24c and line sensor 21,22.

In more detail, when the front end E1 of the 1st bank note B1 and rear end E2 have passed through magnetic sensor 24a ~ 24c, obtain the magnetic data of the 1st bank note B1.In addition, when the front end E1 of the 1st bank note B1 and rear end E2 have passed through Time Pick-off Units 26, Time Pick-off Units 26 detects passing through of the 1st bank note B1.And, passed through line sensor at 21,22 o'clock at front end E1 and the rear end E2 of the 1st bank note B1, obtain the view data of the 1st bank note B1.

Then, in the state S2 of Figure 10 (A), the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1 in the moment of 50 pairs of drive division 32d output stop signals of control part, the state of B2 are shown.Meet stop condition in the situation that be judged to be the 1st bank note B1,50 pairs of drive division 32d output stop signals of control part.Stop signal output point Pst shown in Figure 10 is that the rear end E2 of the 1st bank note B 1 in the moment of control part 50 output stop signals is positioned at 14Shang De place, transport part.About stop signal output point Pst, describe in detail in the back.

Then, in state S3_1, the S3_2 of Figure 10 (A), the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1 in the moment that the transmission of the 1st bank note B1 in advance and follow-up the 2nd bank note B2 stops, the state of B2 are shown.State S3_1 means the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1 in the longest situation of the stop distance of the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1, B2, the state of B2, and state S3_2 means the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1 in the shortest situation of the stop distance of the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1, B2, the state of B2.Here, stop distance refers to, from control part 50 output stop signals, starts until the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1, B2 is actual stops, the distance that the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1, B2 are transmitted in transport part 14.As mentioned above, in the situation that used the AC motor as drive division 32d, need to consider such stop distance.

For the action that makes transport part 14 stops with the state be applicable to, in order to can easily determine the 1st bank note B1 that meets stop condition in the stop distance of considering bank note, needing following condition.; as shown in state S3_1; the stop distance of the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1, B2 be maximum stop distance Dmax(for example; 58 millimeters) situation under; at least a portion of the 2nd bank note B2 is retained in transport part 14; and the front end E3 of the 2nd bank note B2 does not contact impeller 32(the 1st condition).In addition, as shown in state S3_2, the stop distance of the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1, B2 be minimum stop distance Dmin(for example, 24 millimeters) situation under, the integral body of the 1st bank note B1 is 14 disengagings fully from transport part, and the rear end E2 of the 1st bank note B1 breaks away from (the 2nd condition) from final roller 15a, 15b.By meeting the 1st and the 2nd condition, paper-money counting machine can make the 2nd bank note B2 stay reliably transport part 14, and the 1st bank note B1 that meets stop condition can be run up to the upper of the accumulation bank note in accumulation section 30.Because the 1st bank note B1 is in the upper that accumulates bank note, so the operator easily determines.

For example, in the situation of the 1st bank note B1 for rejection bank note, the operator can remove the 1st bank note B1 from the upper of accumulation section 30.Certainly, the operator also can take not remove from accumulation section 30 countermeasure of the 1st bank note B1.After having carried out such processing, the beginning of operator by pressing the paper-money counting machine shown in Fig. 8/stop key 58a, can restart the counting of bank note and process.

Suppose, in the situation that the 2nd bank note B2 is contacting impeller 32, by the energy (inertia) of impeller 32, thus the 2nd bank note B2 may be from transport part 14 final roller 15a, 15b break away from the accumulation section 30 that is transferred to.In addition, if the 2nd bank note B2 is contacting impeller 32, also may cause the operator mistakenly the 2nd bank note B2 to be extracted out from transport part 14.In this situation, can't after transmission stops, continuing to carry out counting and process.In addition, the part of the 2nd bank note B2 (front end E3) also can with the degree that do not contact impeller 32, from transport part, 14 final roller 15a, 15b expose.This is because in this case, and the major part of the 2nd bank note B2 is stayed in transport part 14, the operator will the 2nd such bank note B2 from transport part, the possibility of 14 final roller 15a, 15b extraction is lower.

On the other hand, suppose, when the situation that the rear end E2 of the 1st bank note B1 does not have to break away from from final roller 15a, the 15b of transport part 14, the 1st bank note B1 may not be accumulated in accumulation section 30, is difficult to determine the 1st bank note B1.

In order to meet the 1st and the 2nd condition, as shown in figure 10, stop signal output point Pst need to be set between lower limit Pst_min and upper limit Pst_max.Lower limit Pst_min is positioned at from the position of upstream side (producing section's 13 sides) the minimum stop distance Dmin of being separated by of final roller 15a, 15b deflection transport part 14.When stop signal output point Pst is lower limit Pst_min, and, in the situation that the stop distance of the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1, B2 is minimum stop distance Dmin, the 1st bank note B1 stops making its rear end E2 consistent with final roller 15a, 15b.Therefore, by stop signal output point Pst, be set to than lower limit Pst_min also in 14De downstream, transport part (transmission direction of bank note), thereby the rear end E2 of the 1st bank note B1 can break away from fully from final roller 15a, 15b.

On the other hand, upper limit Pst_max is positioned at from the be separated by position of difference of maximum stop distance Dmax and bank note interval D 12 of the upstream side (opposite direction of the transmission direction of bank note) of impeller 32 deflection transport parts 14.That is, upper limit Pst_max is positioned at from the be separated by position of (Dmax-D12) of the upstream side of impeller 32 deflection transport parts 14.When stop signal output point Pst is upper limit Pst_max, and, in the situation that the stop distance of the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1, B2 is maximum stop distance Dmax, the rear end E1 of the 1st bank note B1 moves maximum stop distance Dmax from stop signal output point Pst.At this moment, the 2nd bank note B2 stops making the end of its front end E3 and impeller 32.Therefore, be set to 14 the upstream side in transport part also than upper limit Pst_max by stop signal output point Pst, thereby the front end E3 of the 2nd bank note B2 does not contact impeller 32.

Like this, by stop signal output point Pst is set in to the scope between upper limit Pst_max and lower limit Pst_min, thereby can meet the above-mentioned the 1st and the 2nd condition.In addition, the lower limit Pst_min of stop signal output point Pst and upper limit Pst_max also can consider enough and to spare (for example, ± 5 millimeters) to a certain degree and set.

And then on-line sensor 21,22 has been obtained identification with after data, control part 50 20 is obtained the recognition result of the 1st bank note B1 from identification part, and can export stop signal based on this recognition result.Therefore, obtain identification output stop signal with data until in control part 50 from line sensor 21,22 and need the time to a certain degree.For example, in Figure 10, suppose when the rear end E2 of the 1st bank note B1 has passed through the output of stop signal on transport part 14 and may put Pst_en, can be from control part 50 output stop signals.In this situation, stop signal output point Pst need to be set as may putting Pst_en also in downstream than stop signal output.That is, from line sensor 21, the 22 distance B st to stop signal output point Pst, must than the moment of from line sensor 21,22, having obtained whole data until the distance B st_en that stop signal output may be put Pst_en also long (that is, Dst > Dst_en).This is because if distance B st is shorter than distance B st_en, in control part 50, has little time the recognition result of the 1st bank note B1 is processed, and control part 50 can't be exported stop signal.If establish distance B st_en, be for example 31 millimeters, distance B st is for example 43 millimeters.

And then preferably, stop signal output may be put Pst_en and is positioned at 14 the upstream side in transport part also than the lower limit Pst_min of stop signal output point Pst, make the recognition result that control part 50 can be based on bank note and export reliably stop signal.Suppose, may put Pst_en when stop signal output and be positioned at than lower limit Pst_min also in the situation that 14De downstream, transport part, stop signal output point Pst need to be set at stop signal output and may put between Pst_en and upper limit Pst_max.This is that control part 50 need to become the state that can export stop signal because when the rear end E2 of the 1st bank note B1 has passed through stop signal output point Pst.

It is starting point that stop signal output point Pst be take moment of rear end E2 that the 1st bank note B1 detected in Time Pick-off Units 26, by the clock of measuring from rotary encoder 51, determines.As mentioned above, rotary encoder 51 is followed final roller 15a, rotatablely moving of 15b and output clock (pulse).For example, after control part 50 detects the rear end E2 of the 1st bank note B1 in Time Pick-off Units 26, by measuring the clock (pulse) from rotary encoder 51, thereby the rear end E2 that can detect the 1st bank note B1 has for example moved the distance B tmg(shown in Figure 10,68 millimeters) situation.And, when the rear end E2 of the 1st bank note B1 has passed through stop signal output point Pst, control part 50 output stop signals.Like this, after the rear end E2 that the 1st bank note B1 detected from Time Pick-off Units 26 starts the 1st bank note B1 has been transmitted to distance B tmg, control part 50 output stop signals.

Figure 10 (B) means that the 1st bank note B1 has for example, stop position in the situation of minimum bill length (, about 63 millimeters).State S11, S12, S13_1, S13_2 shown in Figure 10 (B) corresponds respectively to state S1, S2, S3_1, the S3_2 shown in Figure 10 (A).That is,, in state S11, the rear end E2 of the 1st bank note B1, by line sensor 21,22, obtains the identification data by magnetic sensor 24a ~ 24c and line sensor 21,22 constantly at this.In state S 12,50 pairs of drive division 32d output stop signals of control part.In state S13_1, S13_2, the transmission of the 1st bank note B1 and the 2nd bank note B2 stops.State S13_1 means the longest situation of stop distance of the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1, B2, and state S13_2 means the shortest situation of stop distance of the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1, B2.

According to present embodiment, stop signal is exported in the rear end E2De position of control part 50 based on the 1st bank note B1.If bank note interval D 12 is constant, the position relationship of the front end of the rear end E2 of the 1st bank note B1 and the 2nd bank note B2 does not rely on the difference of bill length of the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1, B2 and is identical.Therefore, stop signal output point Pst, upper limit Pst_max, lower limit Pst_min, stop signal output may be put identical that Pst_en can illustrate with reference Figure 10 (A).Thus, even the 1st bank note B1 is minimum bill length, also meet the above-mentioned the 1st and the 2nd condition.

Figure 11 means the concept map of the relation between the position of the various sensors of identification part 20 of comparative example and the bank note that stops in transport part 14.In this comparative example, stop signal is exported in the position of the front end E1 of control part 50 based on the 1st bank note B1.The position of usually, exporting this stop signal is the position of output recognition result in cognitron in the past and is made as fixed position.

Figure 11 (A) means that the 1st bank note has the stop position in the situation of maximum bill length.Figure 11 (B) means that the 1st bank note has the stop position in the situation of minimum bill length.

The state S21 of Figure 11 (A) means that the rear end E2 of the 1st bank note B1 is by the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1 in the moment of line sensor 21,22, the state of B2, at this moment magnetic sensor 24a ~ 24c and line sensor 21,22, completes identification obtaining by data.

In the state S22 of Figure 11 (A), the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1 in the moment of 50 pairs of drive division 32d output stop signals of control part, the state of B2 are shown.Meet stop condition in the situation that be judged to be the 1st bank note B1,50 pairs of drive division 32d output stop signals of control part.In this comparative example, stop signal output point Pst is the residing place of front end E1 of the 1st bank note B1 in the moment of control part 50 output stop signals.

Then, in state S23_1, the S23_2 of Figure 11 (A), the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1 in the moment that the transmission of the 1st bank note B1 in advance and follow-up the 2nd bank note B2 stops, the state of B2 are shown.State S23_1 means the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1 in the longest situation of the stop distance of the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1, B2, the state of B2, and state S23_2 means the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1 in the shortest situation of the stop distance of the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1, B2, the state of B2.

In the state S23_2 shown in Figure 11 (A), the rear end E2 of the 1st bank note B1 does not break away from from final roller 15a, 15b, and the part of the 1st bank note B1 is retained in transport part 14.Therefore, do not meet above-mentioned the 2nd condition (14 while stopping in transport part, and the 1st bank note B1 14 breaks away from from transport part).In order to meet the 2nd condition, stop signal output point Pst need to be moved to downstream (transmission direction of bank note).

Figure 11 (B) means that the 1st bank note B1 has the stop position in the situation of minimum bill length.In the state S31 shown in Figure 11 (B), the rear end E2 of the 1st bank note B1, by line sensor 21,22, obtains the identification data by magnetic sensor 24a ~ 24c and line sensor 21,22 constantly at this.In state S32,50 pairs of drive division 32d output stop signals of control part.Here, in state S32, stop signal output point Pst is also the residing position of front end E1 of the 1st bank note B1 in the moment of control part 50 output stop signals.In state S33_1, S33_2, the transmission of the 1st bank note B1 and the 2nd bank note B2 stops.State S33_1 means the halted state of the situation that the stop distance of the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1, B2 is the longest, and state S33_2 means the halted state of the situation that the stop distance of the 1st and the 2nd bank note B1, B2 is the shortest.

In the state S33_1 shown in Figure 11 (B), the front end E3 of the 2nd bank note B2 14 exposes much from transport part, and is contacting impeller 32.Therefore, do not meet above-mentioned the 1st condition (at least a portion of the 2nd bank note B2 is retained in transport part 14, and the front end E3 of the 2nd bank note B2 does not contact impeller 32).In order to meet the 1st condition, stop signal output point Pst need to be moved to upstream side (opposite direction of the transmission direction of bank note).

So, in comparative example, want the position of the front end E1 based on the 1st bank note B1 to set stop signal output point Pst, thereby, due to the difference of the bill length of the 1st bank note B1, generation can't meet the situation of the 1st condition and the 2nd condition.In order to eliminate such state of affairs, consider impeller 32 is configured on the position away from final roller 15a, 15b.But, if impeller 32 is configured on the position away from final roller 15a, 15b, the size of paper-money counting machine itself can become large.

In addition, there is following problem, and the method that there is no reply for this problem: the distance B st from line sensor 21,22 to stop signal output point Pst shown in Figure 11 allows the identification decision processing time too, bill length for example, when hour (being 30.9ms) is maximum with respect to bill length (being for example 13.5ms) become about 3 times, allow that the identification decision time does not have enough and to spare when bill length is long, bill length in short-term the identifying processing time too many, can't effectively use the processing time.

Therefore with respect to this, in the present embodiment, stop signal is exported in the E2De position, rear end based on the 1st bank note B1, is not subject to the impact of difference of the bill length of the 1st bank note B1, meets the above-mentioned the 1st and the 2nd condition.Thereby the paper-money counting machine of present embodiment can make impeller 32 near final roller 15a, 15b, therefore can reduce the size of paper-money counting machine itself.In addition, with bill length independently, allow that the identification decision processing time (Dst) is also fixing, can guarantee by line sensor carry out cash kind/version other/processing time of the identification decision of the true and false/complete damage etc.

Figure 12 is in the situation that change an example of the form that stop signal output point Pst uses according to the size of bank note interval D 12.As mentioned above, if bank note interval D 12 is certain, stop signal output point Pst also can be set on the fixing position in transport part 14.But in fact, bank note interval D 12 waits and changes according to producing regularly of bank note sometimes.At this moment, stop signal output point Pst also can be made as according to the size of bank note interval D 12 variable.

The information of the form shown in Figure 12 is pre-stored at storage part 56.Detect bank note interval D 12 in Time Pick-off Units 26 after, control part 50 is selected the stop signal output point Pst corresponding to bank note interval D 12 based on this form.

For example, when bank note interval D 12 is in the situation below reference value, due to the 2nd bank note B2, near the 1st bank note B1, therefore in transport part 14 while stopping, the 2nd bank note B2 easily touches impeller 32.In order to tackle this situation, in transport part, 14 while stopping, and preferentially makes the 2nd bank note B2 not contact impeller 32(the 1st condition).In the present embodiment, in order to make the 2nd bank note B2, do not contact impeller 32, stop signal output point Pst is moved to the upstream side of transport part 14.That is, by the close lower limit Pst_min of stop signal output point Pst.Specifically, as shown in figure 12, the bank note interval D 12 detected when Time Pick-off Units 26 for reference value (for example, 33.25 during the bank note interval D 12_1 millimeter), distance B tmg from Time Pick-off Units 26 to stop signal output point Pst for example is set to distance B tmg1(, 65 millimeters), the distance B st from line sensor 21,22 to stop signal output point Pst for example is set to distance B st1(, 39.5 millimeters).Thus, control part 50 is with timing output stop signal relatively early, and therefore in transport part 14 while stopping, the 2nd bank note B2 is difficult to touch impeller 32.

Therefore on the other hand, in the situation that bank note interval D 12 is greater than reference value, due to the 2nd bank note B2, away from the 1st bank note B1,14 while stopping, expecting that the 2nd bank note B2 is difficult to touch impeller 32 in transport part.Therefore, in transport part, 14 while stopping, and from transport part, 14 final roller 15a, 15b break away from (the 2nd condition) to preferential the 1st bank note B1.In the present embodiment, in transport part, 14 while stopping, and in order to make the 1st bank note B1, from transport part, 14 final roller 15a, 15b break away from reliably, and stop signal output point Pst is moved to 14De downstream, transport part.That is, by the close upper limit Pst_max of stop signal output point Pst.Specifically, as shown in figure 12, when bank note interval D 12 is than reference value also during large bank note interval D 12_2, distance B tmg for example is set to the distance B tmg2(longer than distance B tmg1,75 millimeters), distance B st from line sensor 21,22 to stop signal output point Pst be set to than distance B st1 also long distance B st2(for example, 50 millimeters).Thus, control part 50 is with more late timing output stop signal, and therefore in transport part 14 while stopping, from transport part, 14 final roller 15a, 15b break away from the 1st bank note B1 reliably.So, in the present embodiment, by change stop signal output point Pst according to bank note interval D 12, thereby change the priority of above-mentioned the 1st condition and the 2nd condition, easily take into account the 1st and the 2nd condition.

As mentioned above, according to present embodiment, the rear end E1De position of the control part 50 of paper-money counting machine based on the 1st bank note B1 carried out the output of stop signal and controlled.That is, control part 50 is exported stop signal when the rear end E1 of the 1st bank note B1 has passed through stop signal output point Pst.Thus, can adopt a cheap AC motor as the drive division 32d that produces section 13 and transport part 14, control part 50 can the 1st bank note B1 is run up to accumulation section 30 and and then at least a portion of the 2nd bank note B2 of the 1st bank note B1 be retained under the state of transport part 14, stop reliably the section that produces 13 and transport part 14.By stopping like this section that produces 13 and transport part 14, the operator can easily determine the 1st bank note B1.In addition, can prevent the state of affairs that the 2nd bank note B2 is extracted out mistakenly.

In addition, the paper-money counting machine of present embodiment is used cheap AC motor, and accumulates bank note in single accumulation section 30.And, possess optical line sensor 21,22, can independently effectively use the processing time with bill length, therefore can guarantee to carry out cash kind/version other/processing time of the identification decision of the true and false/complete damage etc.Thereby, due to paper-money counting machine can brake/clutch mechanism be set thereby cost low, and, can there is high recognition capability.

In addition, the paper-money counting machine of present embodiment is because stop signal is exported in the E2De position, rear end based on the 1st bank note B 1, therefore can meet the 1st and the 2nd condition and is not subject to the impact of difference of the bill length of the 1st bank note B1.Thereby the paper-money counting machine of present embodiment is compared with above-mentioned comparative example, can make impeller 32 near final roller 15a, 15b, therefore can reduce the size of paper-money counting machine itself.

(suppressing to reciprocal transmission)

As mentioned above, present embodiment is used the AC motor as the drive division 32d that produces section 13 and transport part 14.In this situation, when having stopped the bank note being transmitted by transport part 14, due to the impact such as flexible of the travelling belt used in the backlash (back lash) of the gear (gear) that is subject in transport part 14 to use or transport part 14, transport part 14 is reverse transfer bank note sometimes.The reverse transfer of such transport part 14 becomes the reason of the stop position generation deviation of bank note.In the present embodiment, owing to using cheap single-phase rotary encoder as rotary encoder 51, therefore can produce the defect that can't obtain directional information.

In order to suppress the reversion of such drive division 32d, during the control part 50 of the present embodiment stop condition up to specification at the 1st bank note B1, export off and on stop signal.When control part 50 output stop signal, the turning axle of drive division 32d is braked, and when control part 50 has stopped stop signal, the turning axle of drive division 32d is released.In the present embodiment, repeat braking and the release of such drive division 32d, and little by little brake, thereby suppress the reversion that comprises transport part section of 14De mechanism, and can suppress the deviation of the stop position of bank note.In addition, the brake of AC motor (braking) is that electric current by field coil being flow through after rectification carries out.The braking of drive division 32d and the timing of release, the clock (pulse) of control part 50 based on from rotary encoder 51 and determining.For example, after control part 50 has been exported stop signal, more than becoming reference time from duration of the high level (or low level) of each clock of rotary encoder 51, while detecting the situation that the rotating speed of drive division 32d reduces, the ON(that control part 50 periodically repeats stop signal in also can be during certain activates) and OFF(do not activate).For example, when the duration of the high level (or low level) of each clock from rotary encoder 51 becomes more than 0.4 millisecond, control part 50 can 20 milliseconds during certain during in periodically repeat the OFF of the stop signal of ON and 80 during delicate of 80 stop signals during delicate.Passed through this certain during (for example,, during 20 milliseconds) afterwards, control part 50 maintains the ON state by stop signal.Thus, without emergent stopping but little by little stop rotatablely moving of drive division 32d, therefore can suppress the reverse transfer of the bank note in transport part 14.In addition, the interrupted output of stop signal may not be certain cycle.

In addition, control part 50 also can be to being counted from clock (pulse) number of rotary encoder 51 outputs when starting to export stop signal, and control the output of stop signal based on this clock number.For example, control part 50 starts the clock of counting from rotary encoder 51 when the stop signal by drive division 32d is made as ON.And, duration at the high level (or low level) of each clock from rotary encoder 51 (for example becomes reference time, 0.2 millisecond) when above, control part 50 is made as OFF by stop signal, for example, when the count value of clock has surpassed setting (, 120) stop signal is made as to ON again.So too, without emergent stopping but little by little stop rotatablely moving of drive division 32d, therefore can suppress the reverse transfer of the bank note in transport part 14.

As mentioned above, by suppressing the reverse transfer of the bank note in transport part 14, can suppress the deviation of the stop position of bank note on transport part 14.Thus, after the transmission that again starts bank note, line sensor 21,22 can continue to obtain the identification data of the bank note on transport part 14 exactly.In addition, the deviation of the stop position by suppressing bank note, can realize the above-mentioned the 1st and the 2nd condition reliably.

In addition, also can be when being judged as the 1st bank note B1 and meeting stop condition, data, stop condition or the recognition result for identification of the 1st bank note B1 are presented at display part 62, and are sent to external device (ED).In addition, the data for identification of the 1st bank note B1, stop reason or recognition result also can be written to by write section 70 storage medium of SD card etc.

(the 2nd embodiment)

(restarting of counting processing)

As mentioned above, in the situation that used the drive division 32d as transport part 14 such as AC motor, when having stopped the action of drive division 32d, drive division 32d reverse rotation sometimes.In the 1st embodiment, by suppressing the emergent stopping of drive division 32d, thereby avoided the reversion of drive division 32d.

In the 2nd embodiment, control part 50 utilizes the reverse transfer of rotary encoder 51 detected transmission sections 14, and proofreaies and correct the output of rotary encoder 51 that the moment of forwards transmission is recovered in moment of the reverse transfer from starting detected transmission section 14 until transport part 14.Thus, the paper-money counting machine of the 2nd embodiment, after the stopping of drive division 32d, when the transmission of transport part 14 action has recovered, can normally restart the counting of bank note and process.

Figure 13 means the timing diagram that again starts action of processing according to the counting of the paper-money counting machine of the 2nd embodiment.Position Figure 13 means for example, to be proofreaied and correct by status signal from the order (, rotating signal, stop signal) of the 50 couples of drive division 32d of control part output, the clock that is made as effective or invalid status signal, the scrambler of spinning in the future 51 from the clock of the clock (pulse) of rotary encoder 51 outputs, the scrambler of spinning in the future 51 and the operating state of drive division 32d.In addition, also can be identical with the structure of paper-money counting machine according to the 1st embodiment according to the structure of the paper-money counting machine of the 2nd embodiment.

Status signal is license or the signal of forbidding the identifying processing of the bank note in identification part 20.Status signal for example, when state of activation (, high level), and control part 50 makes effectively to pass through from the clock of rotary encoder 51, and clock is outputed to identification part 20.In this situation, identification part 20 is moved based on clock, and the bank note by transport part 14 transmission is identified.On the other hand, status signal for example, when state of activation (, low level) not, and it is invalid that the clock of control part 50 scramblers of spinning in the future 51 is made as, and clock do not outputed to identification part 20.That is, the logic level of the fixing clock from rotary encoder 51 of control part 50.Thus, identification part 20 does not obtain clock, therefore can not carry out the identifying processing of bank note.In addition, status signal also can be defined as state of activation when low level, is defined as not state of activation when high level.

Position is the signal utilized after above-mentioned status signal is proofreaied and correct the clock from rotary encoder 51.For example, the AND operation that control part 50 is carried out from clock and the status signal of rotary encoder 51, export this operation result as position.Move based on position identification part 20, and the bank note by transport part 14 transmission is identified.

Below, illustrate in greater detail the action of the paper-money counting machine of the 2nd embodiment.

Suppose control part 50 before moment t0 to drive division 32d output rotating signal, during in t0 ~ t1 to drive division 32d output stop signal, after moment t3, again export rotating signal.

Drive division 32d and transport part 14 be due to the effect of inertial force, from receiving from after delay to a certain degree the order of control part 50, becoming with this and order corresponding state.For example, as shown in figure 13, at moment t0, after control part 50 has been exported stop signal, drive division 32d becomes halted state at moment t2.At this moment, drive division 32d is according to stop signal and brake rotation shaft, during in t0 ~ t1 the speed be rotated in the forward of drive division 32d gradually reduce.Transport part 14 reverse transfer in stopping immediately following t1 ~ t2 during front, and, during in t2 ~ t3 transport part 14 become halted state.In addition, during from control part 50, having exported the moment t3 of rotating signal, drive division 32d starts to recover to be rotated in the forward, and in moment t4 after this, the bank note of transport part 14 turns back to the position of t1.

Rotary encoder 51 is according to the action of transport part 14 and output clock.Therefore, during follow the reduction of the rotating speed of transport part 14 in t0 ~ t1, the cycle of clock is gradually elongated.And transport part 14 is by reverse rotation once shorten the cycle of clock after the moment t1.During in t1～t2 during the 14 reverse transfer bank note of transport part, the reverse transfer of the bank note in rotary encoder 51 detected transmission sections 14, thus reverse rotation clock CLK1 is exported as the 1st clock.Judgement about the reverse transfer of the bank note in transport part 14 is narrated in the back.Then, between the convalescence of t3 ~ t4 in, the rotation of drive division 32d accelerates gradually, after moment t4, rotary encoder 51 with identical cycle output clock before moment t0.In between the convalescence of t3 ~ t4, rotary encoder 51 detects the rotation of the last roller 15a of the transport part 14 in recovering, thereby recovered clock CLK2 is exported as the 2nd clock.And the clock number of reverse transfer is stored in storage part 56 as the reverse transfer clock.

Illustrate in greater detail the judgement of the reverse rotation of the bank note in transport part 14.Control part 50 in (t0 ~ t3), is judged to be the reverse transfer that bank note has occurred in transport part 14 during the output stop signal when the cycle of the clock from rotary encoder 51 shortens.For example, control part 50 is after moment t0 output stop signal (after t0), and storage is from maximum of T Hmax separately, the TLmax of (low level pulse width) TL between (pulse width of high level) TH and low period between the high period of the clock waveform of rotary encoder 51.Then, when between the high period of clock waveform between TH or low period TL become the regulation ratio of maximum of T Hmax or TLmax when following, control part 50 is judged to be transport part 14 at reverse transfer bank note.Maximum of T Hmax and TLmax are maintained in the register in storage part 56 or control part 50.In addition, the regulation ratio is pre-stored at storage part 56.

Control part 50 also can be at duration T H(or the TL of a certain logic level (high level or low level) of clock) maximum of T Hmax(or TLmax during becoming same logic level) regulation ratio (the 1st ratio) when following, be judged to be transport part 14 and carrying out reverse transfer.Perhaps, control part 50 also can be at duration T H(or the TL of a certain logic level of clock) maximum of T Lmax(or THmax during becoming opposite logic levels) regulation ratio (the 2nd ratio) when following, be judged to be transport part 14 and carrying out reverse transfer.Above-mentioned the 1st ratio and the 2nd ratio can be identical, also can be different.

The regulation ratio is 0 ~ 100%, but can remove 0% and 100%.This is because when the regulation ratio is 0%, and clock period becomes zero, so control part 50 can't detect clock period in fact.In addition, because when the regulation ratio is 100%, clock period is identical with maximum of T Hmax or TLmax, therefore can't judge the reverse transfer of transport part 14.

Between high period between the maximum of T Hmax of TH and low period the storage of the maximum of T Lmax of TL can be after the output stop signal (after t0) clock same level the duration become setting and start when above.

In the example shown in Figure 13, the transmission speed of the bank note in transport part 14 is for example 2093 mm/second.Control part 50 after moment ts, the same logic level of clock the duration become setting (for example, 60 milliseconds) and start to store maximum of T Hmax and TLmax when above.And, when the regulation ratio (the 1st ratio) of the maximal value (THmax or TLmax) of control part 50 during the duration of a certain logic level (high level or low level) of clock becomes same logic level is following, perhaps, when the regulation ratio (the 2nd ratio) of the maximal value (TLmax or THmax) during the duration of a certain logic level (high level or low level) of clock becomes opposite logic levels is following, is judged to be transport part 14 and is carrying out reverse transfer.For example, as shown in figure 13, in moment t1, the 1st ratio that the duration T H1 of the high level of clock becomes the maximum of T Hmax between the high period of same logic (for example, 80%) below, or the 2nd ratio that the duration T H1 of the high level of clock becomes the maximum of T Lmax between the low period of phase antilogical (for example, when 40%) following, be judged to be transport part 14 and carrying out reverse transfer.Thus, in moment t1, control part 50 can be judged to be transport part 14 and carry out reverse transfer.

In the moment of the reverse transfer that has been determined transport part t1, control part 50 is state of activation signal and make it become low level not, and it is invalid to be made as from the clock of rotary encoder 51 outputs.Thus, since the logic level of moment t1 position, be fixed, the identification maneuver of bank note is not carried out in identification part 20.

Below, to drive division 32d and transport part 14 stop describe.To drive division 32d output stop signal (t0 constantly) afterwards, level from the clock of rotary encoder 51 for example has stipulated time Tst1(, 15 milliseconds) more than while not changing, perhaps, from output stop signal through stipulated time Tst2(for example, 70 milliseconds) when above, control part 50 is judged to be drive division 32d to be stopped.Stipulated time Tst1, Tst2 be also fully long than the maximum of T Hmax between high period and the maximum of T Lmax between low period during.In the example shown in Figure 13, control part 50 is judged to be drive division 32d in moment t2 to be stopped.

In stopping period t2 ~ t3, control part 50 maintains not state of activation by status signal, and it is invalid still will to be made as from the clock of rotary encoder 51 outputs.Thus, in stopping period t2 ~ t3, the logic level of position still is fixed, and the identification maneuver of bank note is not carried out in identification part 20.

Below, illustrate in greater detail the action that the forward transmission is recovered in transport part 14.Control part 50 the moment of the reverse transfer from having judged transport part 14 start until judge moment of stopping during (t1 ~ t2), the clock number (number of reverse rotation clock CLK1) from rotary encoder 51 outputs is counted.In the example shown in Figure 13, during in t1 ~ t2, from two reverse rotation clock CLK1 of rotary encoder 51 outputs.Therefore, control part 50 storage 2 numbers as reverse rotation clock CLK1.As described below, the number of reverse rotation clock CLK1 is for the recovery of the forward transmission of the bank note of judging transport part 14.

If control part 50 is exported rotating signal again as commencing signal, the recovered clock CLK2 from rotary encoder 51 is counted.Perhaps, control part 50 also can again exported rotating signal as commencing signal after, when output clock CLK2, the number of above-mentioned reverse transfer clock CLK1 reduced to counting.And, become and equate that with the number of the reverse transfer clock CLK1 counted in t1 ~ t2 during above-mentioned reverse transfer the logic level of (the 1st recovery condition) and clock becomes logic level (the 2nd recovery condition) that the logic level of the clock while judging with the reverse transfer of transport part 14 is identical as condition with the number of recovered clock CLK2, control part 50 is judged to be the original position of transport part 14 from reverse transfer judgement beginning the time and carries out the forward transmission.In the example shown in Figure 13, control part 50 is two recovered clock CLK2 of output the moment t3 from again starting to export rotating signal, and, output with during in the moment t4 of clock of the identical logic level (high level) of the logic level of clock in TH1, be judged to be the recovery that the forward of transport part 14 transmits and complete.Thus, when paper-money counting machine can cause in the reverse transfer because of transport part 14 the original position in the moment t1 before retrograde bank note turns back to this reverse transfer, restart the counting of bank note and process.

In the situation that the number to above-mentioned reverse transfer clock CLK1 reduces counting when output clock CLK2, the 1st recovery condition is that the number of reverse transfer clock CLK1 becomes zero.

In the moment t4 recovered in the forward transmission that is judged as transport part 14, control part 50 activates status signal for high level, will be made as effectively from the clock of rotary encoder 51 outputs.Thus, after moment t4, position similarly moves with the clock from rotary encoder 51 outputs.Thereby, after moment t4, being judged to be drive division 32d and being rotated in the forward, the identifying processing of the bank note that carry out the transmission process of the bank note that carry out the transport part 14 of interrupting at moment t0 and identification part 20 restarts.That is, control part 50, after drive division 32d stops, restarting the action of drive division 32d for the counting that continues bank note processes.

In addition, the constantly output of the rotating signal in t3 also can be usingd the operator and pressed beginning/stop key 58a(with reference to Fig. 8) as triggering, carry out.In addition, can be also that paper-money counting machine also comprises the extraction test section for detection of the bank note situation about being drawn out of of accumulation in accumulation section 30, it be to trigger automatically execution that the output of the signal transmission of drive division 32d be take to the extraction that this extractions test section detects bank note.As extracting test section out, for example use detecting sensor 42,44 to get final product.At this moment, when detecting sensor 42,44 detects while from accumulation section 30, having extracted bank note out, control part 50 outputs to drive division 32d by rotating signal, automatically restarts above-mentioned recovery action.

As shown in figure 13, status signal at drive division 32d, be rotated in the forward during in state of activation, complete after drive division 32d reverse rotation till recovery during in (t1 ~ t4) in state of activation not.Therefore, after the reverse transfer that transport part 14 detected, restart till the position before thereby being rotated in the forward of drive division 32d makes bank note turn back to reverse transfer during in t1 ~ t4, control part 50 is ignored the output from rotary encoder 51, and the logic level of fixed correction clock as shown in Figure 13.Thereby, during in t1 ~ t4, obtaining and the output of recognition result by the identification data of the bank note of transport part 14 transmission do not carried out in identification part 20.Thus, during in t1 ~ t4, even rotary encoder 51 has been exported noise because of mechanical vibration etc., control part 50 also can be ignored such noise, can suppress the malfunction of identification part 20.

As mentioned above, during original position in the moment t1 of the paper-money counting machine of the 2nd embodiment before the reverse transfer because of transport part 14 causes retrograde bank note to turn back to this reverse rotation, restart transmission process and identifying processing.In other words, the reciprocal amount of movement of the bank note in (t1 ~ t2) during the reverse transfer of transport part, when the amount of movement by the bank note in (t3 ~ t4) between the convalescence that is rotated in the forward (forward of the bank note in transport part 14 transmits) of drive division 32d is cancelled (bank note turns back to the front position of reverse transfer), control part 50 restarts identification/counting to be processed.After the reverse transfer that transport part 14 detected starts, restart till being rotated in the forward of drive division 32d during in t1 ~ t4, control part 50 is ignored from the clock of rotary encoder 51 outputs, forbids identification in identification part 20 action that obtains by data.Therefore, the paper-money counting machine of the 2nd embodiment need to not proofreaied and correct the data of identification by data etc. on software.That is, the paper-money counting machine of the 2nd embodiment need to not carried out complicated data and process on software, can seamlessly restart the counting of interrupted bank note and process (transmission process and identifying processing).

(from the correction of the view data of line sensor 21,22)

As reference Fig. 5 explanation, line sensor 21,22 comprises light-emitting component 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b, 22d and light receiving element 21c, 22c.Light-emitting component 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b, 22d are for example by the LED(light emitting diode that sends red light, green light, blue light, infrared light) form, by the light of (wavelength) of all kinds with the time mode cut apart shine on bank note. Light receiving element 21c, 22c for example consist of the imageing sensor of the image of obtaining bank note, receive the light that comes self- emission device 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b of bank note reflection or seen through the light that carrys out self-emission device 22d of bank note by selfoc lens array 21e and 22e, thereby obtain the view data of bank note.

Figure 14 means the timing diagram of the elemental motion of line sensor 21,22.Control part 50 and clock synchronous ground generation trigger pip from rotary encoder 51, the trigger pip of line sensor 21,22 based on from control part 50 and carry out obtaining of luminous and view data etc.For example, trigger pip generates respectively two in each cycle of clock, the timing of the rising edge of clock and from this regularly through the timing of the moment of official hour interval T stb (for example,, after 50 microseconds) generate.Usually, in each clock, the interval T stb between the trigger pip of primary trigger pip and the 2nd time is fixed, pre-stored at storage part 56.

Line sensor 21,22 is irradiating light to the bank note by transport part 14 transmission when receiving trigger pip.Irradiating the color (wavelength) of light as described above, is for example any of red light, green light, blue light, infrared light.L1 ~ L4 shown in Figure 14 be illustrated in the red light of irradiating when from the reflected light of bank note, obtaining view data, green light, blue light, infrared light each irradiate regularly.L5 shown in Figure 14, L6 be illustrated in the green light of irradiating while according to the transmitted light of bank note, obtaining view data and infrared light each irradiate regularly.

Owing to generating two trigger pips in the one-period of clock, so line sensor 21,22 irradiates light twice to bank note in the one-period of clock.Two light that irradiate at the one-period of clock have mutually different wavelength.In the example shown in Figure 14, as L1, L5, L1, L2, L1, L3 ... like that, the light of line sensor 21,22 Continuous irradiation different wave lengths.

Line sensor 21,22 (for example, L1) afterwards, is for example obtained, by this irradiation light (view data (simulated data), L1) obtained having irradiated light in next trigger pip.Then, line sensor 21,22, after having obtained view data, further is transformed to digital view data by the view data of simulation in next trigger pip.That is, line sensor 21,22 after bank note has been irradiated to light, obtain digitizing after clock view data.

Like this, the obtaining and the digitized processing of view data of the irradiation of line sensor 21,22 by repeating light, view data, thus can access all view data of bank note.This view data is as using with data or recognition result for the identification of identifying bank note in control part 50.

When bank note is normally transmitted by transport part 14 and do not meet in the situation of stop condition, as shown in Figure 14, line sensor 21,22 can be obtained view data no problemly.

On the other hand, when the 1st bank note B1 by transport part 14 transmission meets in the situation of stop condition, control part 50 stops the identification of bank note/counting processing for the time being.At this moment, in the stopping period of processing at counting, due to the view data that line sensor 21,22 is not read bank note, therefore, after restarting the counting processing, the view data (image) obtained at this stopping period becomes white sometimes.Below, by this phenomenon also referred to as " stay white (Bai order け) ".The view data (electric charge) of on- line sensor 21,22 interior savings disappears because of the electric discharge in stopping period, thereby produces such " staying white ".Rotating speed at drive division 32d is slack-off, when the time of on- line sensor 21,22 interior savings view data, (savings time) was elongated, also can produce such stay white.

The paper-money counting machine of present embodiment moves as follows in order to tackle " staying white ".

Figure 15 means the clock from rotary encoder 51 of the 2nd embodiment and from the timing diagram of the trigger pip of control part 50.Before moment t10, paper-money counting machine is carried out the counting of bank note and is processed as usually.After moment t10, control part 50 output stop signals, braked for the transport part 14 that is driven in drive division 32d.Thereby, before moment t10, from the clock of rotary encoder 51 with cycle T c1 output, after moment t10, from the clock of rotary encoder 51 with cycle T c2(Tc2 Tc1) output.And then, after moment t11, from the clock of rotary encoder 51 with cycle T c3(Tc3 Tc2) output.Then, if processing, the identification of bank note/counting stops, rotary encoder 51 output clock not.

The interval of two trigger pips corresponding with each clock is below Tstb1(, also referred to as the 1st, obtains interval) or, below Tstb2(, also referred to as the 2nd, obtain interval).Interval between the 1st trigger pip of the 2nd trigger pip of a certain clock and next clock is Tstb11 or Tstb12.

In the situation that the 1st to obtain interval T stb1 fixing, along with the cycle of clock is elongated, it is elongated that the next one is obtained interval T stb11.If the interval T stb11 of trigger pip is elongated, may produce as described above stay white.

Therefore, in the paper-money counting machine of the 2nd embodiment, the cycle of clock is less than in the situation of specified period Tcref1, control part 50 will be corresponding with each clock the interval of two trigger pips be made as the 1st and obtain interval T stb1, when the cycle of clock, become in the situation more than stipulated time Tcref1, the interval of two trigger pips that control part 50 will be corresponding with each clock is made as to be obtained interval T stb1 than the 1st and also the long the 2nd obtains interval T stb2.

For example, as shown in figure 15, when the cycle of clock, be the Tc1(Tc1<Tcref1 that is less than specified period Tcref1) in situation, control part 50 in each clock, by the 1st view data obtain regularly and and then the 1st view data the 2nd view data obtain regularly between the time interval be set as the 1st and obtain interval T stb1.In addition, when the cycle of clock, be the Tc2(Tc2 >=Tcref1 more than specified period Tcref1) situation under, control part 50 by the 1st view data obtain regularly and the 2nd view data obtain regularly between the time interval be set as obtaining interval T stb1 than the 1st and also the long the 2nd obtain interval T stb2.

Like this, depend on the cycle of clock and regulate the interval of two trigger pips corresponding with each clock, thereby by the interval T stb2 of continuous a plurality of trigger pips, Tstb12 equalization.The interval T stb2 of trigger pip, Tstb12 equalization are referred to, savings time of the view data in line sensor 21,22 is averaged.Thereby, even the cycle of clock is to a certain degree elongated, also is difficult to produce and stays white phenomenon.

But, if the cycle of clock is further elongated, the savings time of the view data in the line sensor 21,22 of just getting it right averages, also can start to produce and stay white phenomenon.For example, after the moment t11 shown in Figure 15, because the cycle T c3 of clock is longer, even therefore employing obtains interval T stb2, the next one is obtained interval T stb13 also can become quite long.Therefore, in this case, produce and stay white possibility to uprise.

Therefore, in the paper-money counting machine of the 2nd embodiment, when the cycle of clock, be in the situation more than specified period Tcref2, control part 50 replaces the raw image data obtained based on this clock, the view data in the past that the clock in the past of use based on before this clock is obtained.That is, control part 50 use view data in the past copies raw image data.The view data in the past of at this moment using is to use the view data in the past obtained with the light of the color (identical wavelength) identical at the light of obtaining middle use of raw image data.For example, when raw image data is in the situation of using the irradiation light L1 shown in Figure 14 to obtain, control part 50 replaces raw image data and uses and obtaining the obtained view data of the front utilization irradiation light L1 of closelying follow of this raw image data.In addition, in the situation of the view data obtained by reflected light, replace this raw image data and the view data in past of using also is made as the view data obtained by reflected light when raw image data.When raw image data is in the situation of the view data that obtains by transmitted light, replace this raw image data and the view data in past of using also is made as the view data obtained by transmitted light.In addition, in the situation that use the light of a plurality of wavelength, be the view data of the light of same color.

After the moment t11 shown in Figure 15, the cycle T c3 that is made as clock is more than specified period Tcref2.At this moment, control part 50 replaces raw image datas, use the light of the identical wavelength of light to use in order to obtain this raw image data obtained immediately following front view data.Thus, in the view data of control part 50 correction bank note, stay white part, can obtain the view data of not staying white part as a whole.This view data is as using with data or recognition result for the identification of identifying bank note in control part 50.

As mentioned above, in the 2nd embodiment, even reduce the responsiveness of drive division 32d by stop signal, the interval of control part 50 two trigger pips corresponding with each clock by prolongation, thereby by the interval T stb2 of continuous a plurality of trigger pips, Tstb12 equalization.Thus, because savings time of the view data in line sensor 21,22 averages out, therefore can suppress to stay white.

Even the responsiveness of drive division 32d further reduces, perhaps the action of drive division 32d stops, control part 50 also can replace to produce and stays the raw image data that white possibility is high, uses the light of the identical wavelength of light to use in order to obtain this raw image data view data in obtained past.Thus, in the view data of control part 50 correction bank note, stay white part, can obtain the view data of not staying white part as a whole.

In the past, in order to tackle, stay whitely, the operator processes at counting removes the bank note retained on the position of on- line sensor 21,22 while stopping, thereby and this bank note is turned back to the view data that the section of producing 13 obtains this bank note again.

With respect to this, in the paper-money counting machine of the 2nd embodiment, when counting stopping of processing, need not remove the bank note retained on the position of on- line sensor 21,22, just can obtain and not stay white view data.Therefore, after the counting processing stops, paper-money counting machine can continue to restart this counting to be processed.

In addition, as implied above, the processing of the above-mentioned interval by a plurality of trigger pips equalization (the 1st blank space reason) and can carrying out by stages with the processing (the 2nd blank space is managed) that view data in the past copies raw image data.But the 1st blank space reason or the 2nd blank space reason also can be used separately.Even only adopt in the 1st blank space reason or the 2nd blank space reason, paper-money counting machine also has inhibition and stays white effect.

(from the whether correction of data of the existence of Time Pick-off Units 26,27)

Time Pick-off Units 26,27 shown in Fig. 5 is as detecting entering and passing through of bank note by transport part 14 transmission, and output mean this bank note the existence had or not whether the banknote detection sensor of data play a role.Time Pick-off Units 26,27 detects respectively the leading section of bank note, thereby detects entering of bank note, and, by detecting the rearward end of bank note, thereby detect passing through of bank note.For example, Time Pick-off Units 26,27 is by detecting the leading section of bank note, thereby whether lifting exists the logic level of data, by detecting the rearward end of bank note, thereby reduces the logic level that whether has data.Like this, whether Time Pick-off Units 26,27 exists rising and the decline of the logic level of data by detection, thereby detects passing through of bank note.

But, by the reverse transfer of the transport part 14 shown in Figure 13, detecting while starting reverse transfer in t1 and stopping period t2 ~ t3, from the existence of the bank note of Time Pick-off Units 26,27, whether data are different sometimes.Like this, if the existence of bank note data difference whether, the counting of bank note can produce and not mate in processing.

Therefore, in the 2nd embodiment, as shown in figure 13, control part 50 utilizes has proofreaied and correct the position from the clock of rotary encoder 51 with status signal, makes Time Pick-off Units 26,27 actions.Therefore, the reverse transfer from transport part 14 detect the zero hour t1 to the forward transmission restart t4 constantly during, the signal of Time Pick-off Units 26,27 is out in the cold, can't obtain and whether have data.In addition, during in t1 ~ t4, even Time Pick-off Units 26,27 has been exported noise because of mechanical vibration etc., control part 50 also can be ignored such noise.Thus, control part 50 not be used in the complicated data of execution on software and processes, and can seamlessly restart counting and process.

But, the reverse transfer shown in Figure 13 detect the zero hour t1 and the forward transmission restart t4 constantly in the existence of bank note whether in the inconsistent situation of data, control part 50 needs to proofread and correct from the existence of Time Pick-off Units 26,27 data whether.

Figure 16 (A) ~ Figure 16 (D) means the reverse transfer t1 zero hour and the concept map of the position relationship that restarts Time Pick-off Units 26,27 in t4 constantly and bank note B1 that is rotated in the forward.In Figure 16 (A) and Figure 16 (B), detect Time Pick-off Units 26,27 in the t1 zero hour in reverse transmission and detect bank note B1, but the transmission of forward restart constantly t4 in Time Pick-off Units 26,27 do not detect bank note B1.On the contrary, in Figure 16 (C) and Figure 16 (D), in the reverse transmission t1 zero hour, Time Pick-off Units 26,27 does not detect bank note B1, but be rotated in the forward restart constantly t4 in Time Pick-off Units 26,27 detect bank note B1.

In addition, in Figure 16 (A) and Figure 16 (C), Time Pick-off Units 26,27 detects the front end of bank note B1, but, in Figure 16 (B) and Figure 16 (D), Time Pick-off Units 26,27 detects the rear end of bank note B 1.

After during reverse transfer during Figure 16 (A) is illustrated in t1 ~ t2, bank note B1 drives in the wrong direction, during during recovery in t3 ~ t4, bank note B1 does not turn back to the original position in t1 constantly.At this moment, after the bank note position of bank note B1 when returning to reverse transfer and start, again enter into Time Pick-off Units 26,27, thereby again promote and whether have data.That is, for same bank note B1, whether twice lifting exists data to Time Pick-off Units 26,27.Therefore, control part 50 suppresses at the moment t4 rising whether (shielding) once exists data later.That is, suppress whether to exist the rising that repeats of data.Thus, whether exist after data rise in moment t1, in the moment, t4 descends later, thereby can normally detect passing through of bank note B1.

After during reverse transfer during Figure 16 (B) is illustrated in t1 ~ t2, bank note B1 drives in the wrong direction, during during recovery in t3 ~ t4, bank note B1 has surpassed the original position (returning too much) in t1 constantly.At this moment, bank note B1 does not enter Time Pick-off Units 26,27 after the recovery of forward transmission, so Time Pick-off Units 26,27 still is in the state that whether has data that promoted, and can't detect passing through of bank note B1.Therefore, whether control part 50 once exists the decline of data in the later generation of moment t4.That is, control part 50 makes whether to exist in data and clamp-ons decline.Thus, whether exist after data rise in moment t1, in the moment, t4 descends later, thereby can normally detect passing through of bank note B1.

Figure 16 (C) and Figure 16 (B) similarly, after during reverse transfer during being illustrated in t1 ~ t2, bank note B1 drives in the wrong direction, during in t3 ~ t4 during to original location restore, bank note B1 has surpassed the original position (returning too much) in t1 constantly.But, in Figure 16 (C), Time Pick-off Units 26,27 detects the front end of bank note B1.At this moment, after returning to the bank note position of forward, Time Pick-off Units 26,27 can't detect the front end of bank note B1, so Time Pick-off Units 26,27 does not promote and whether has data.Therefore, whether control part 50 once exists the rising of data in the later generation of moment t4.That is, control part 50 makes whether to exist in data and clamp-ons rising.Thus, whether exist data after moment t4, can normally detect passing through of bank note B1.

Figure 16 (D) and Figure 16 (A) similarly, after during reverse transfer during being illustrated in t1 ~ t2, bank note B1 drives in the wrong direction, during in t3 ~ t4 during to original location restore, bank note B1 does not turn back to the original position in t1 constantly.But, in Figure 16 (D), Time Pick-off Units 26,27 detects the rear end of bank note B1.At this moment, after recovery is rotated in the forward, the rear end that Time Pick-off Units 26,27 reduces bank note B1 again.That is, Time Pick-off Units 26,27 reduces and whether has data twice for same bank note B1.Therefore, control part 50 suppresses at the moment t4 decline whether (shielding) once exists data later.That is, suppress whether to exist the decline that repeats of data.Thus, whether exist data can normally detect passing through of bank note B1.

In addition, suppress rising or the decline whether (shielding) exists data if long-time, control part 50 may suppress whether rising or the decline of data of existence of the bank note B2 of bank note B1 and then.Therefore, whether exist the inhibition instruction of the rising of data or decline preferably to be made as after having passed through specified time limit invalid.

As mentioned above, when reverse transmission detects t1 and the existence that restarts the bank note in t4 constantly of forward transmission whether in the inconsistent situation of the data zero hour, control part 50 is proofreaied and correct from the existence of Time Pick-off Units 26,27 data whether.Thus, even interrupt, the counting of bank note is processed and restart its identification/counting processing after this, and processing can be identified/count to control part 50 also exactly to bank note.

(from the correction of the magnetic data of magnetic sensor 24a ~ 24c)

Magnetic sensor 24a shown in Fig. 4 or Fig. 5 ~ 24c detects by the magnetic properties of the bank note of transport part 14 transmission, and output means the magnetic data of the magnetic properties of this bank note.Usually, the transmission speed of the bank note in the output of magnetic sensor 24a ~ 24c and transport part 14 is square proportional.Therefore, when having stopped as shown in Figure 13 the transmission of bank note, bank note is by the situation of magnetic sensor 24a ~ 24c, and the amplitude of magnetic data becomes quite little, can't directly magnetic data be used for to identifying processing.

The output (amplitude) of the magnetic data of for example, exporting from magnetic sensor 24a ~ 24c in the situation that, Figure 17 (A) expression bank note is transmitted with common transmission speed.The output (amplitude) of the magnetic data of exporting from magnetic sensor 24a ~ 24c when Figure 17 (B) is illustrated in the transmission that stops bank note.In Figure 17 (A) and Figure 17 (B), transverse axis means time t, and the longitudinal axis means output (amplitude) A of magnetic data.

As shown in Figure 17 (A), in the situation that bank note is transmitted with common transmission speed, can obtain having the magnetic data of larger amplitude.But, as shown in the broken circle of Figure 17 (B), if the transmission speed of bank note reduces, the amplitude of magnetic data diminishes.

Therefore, when the transmission speed slows of bank note, become in the situation more than the stipulated time from cycle of the clock of rotary encoder 51, control part 50 utilizes the cycle of this clock to proofread and correct the magnetic data from magnetic sensor 24a ~ 24c.

In more detail, the clock that control part 50 is used to spinning scrambler 51 calculates the transmission speed of bank note, and increases the amplitude of magnetic data based on this transmission speed.For example, suppose that rotary encoder 51 will be exported a clock whenever in transport part 14 during by about 0.25 millimeter of paper currency transmission.In addition, the common transmission speed of the bank note in transport part 14 is made as about 2093 mm/second.At this moment, the cycle T cref3 of the clock in common transmission speed becomes about 119 microseconds (0.25/2093).

When the transmission speed slows of bank note, become in the situation of Tc4 from cycle of the clock of rotary encoder 51, the transmission speed of the reality of the bank note in transport part 14 becomes 2093*Tc4/119.

The amplitude of magnetic data and the transmission speed of bank note square proportional, so correction coefficient becomes square (119*2093/Tc4) of inverse of the transmission speed of above-mentioned reality ².By magnetic data being multiplied by this correction coefficient, thereby can be amplified magnetic data.These computings are carried out in control part 50.

In addition, control part 50 also can become in the cycle of the clock from rotary encoder 51 stipulated time and (for example, 1.3Tcref3) carries out the amplification of magnetic data in above situation.Thus, can reduce the load of control part 50, and control part 50 can be carried out the amplification of magnetic data when the transmission speed of bank note has reduced to a certain degree.

In addition, also can will mean the pre-stored storage part 56 that arrives of table of corrections of the corresponding relation of transmission speed and correction coefficient, control part 50 need not be carried out above-mentioned computing, utilizes this table of corrections to obtain correction coefficient.Thus, can in the load that reduces control part 50, carry out the amplification of magnetic data.

The transmission speed of the reality of bank note and magnetic data together are saved in storage part 56, in order to can use when carrying out the identifying processing of bank note.

In addition, in the situation that the transmission speed of bank note becomes below half of common transmission speed, the S/N(signal/noise of magnetic data) than worsening, therefore also can not carry out the amplification of magnetic data.

In addition, control part 50 can carry out the correction of magnetic data in real time, or, also can be after the magnetic data of having obtained bank note integral body, carry out the correction of magnetic data as a result the time in processing and identification.

As mentioned above, the paper-money counting machine of the 2nd embodiment is proofreaied and correct magnetic data according to the transmission speed of bank note, thereby, even the transmission speed of bank note reduces or produces deviation, also can obtain the magnetic data with stable amplitude.Thus, even stop for the time being identification/counting, process, paper-money counting machine also can continue to obtain recognition result accurately.

(binary conversion treatment of serial number)

For the capacity that reduces data and made to utilize the printing of simple and easy printer etc. to become easy, in the view data of the bank note of obtaining by line sensor 21,22, the view data of serial number (below, also referred to as the serial number data) in control part 50 by binaryzation.The binary conversion treatment of the serial number data of each bank note need to be longer than the identifying processing of the view data that obtains each bank note or recognition result time, therefore concentrative implementation after whole counting processing of bank note finishes.

But, in this situation, although processing, finishes the counting of bank note, and paper-money counting machine must be processed by the next identification/counting of wait before the binary conversion treatment of the serial number data of bank note finishes.

In addition, in the identifying processing of each bank note, if want to carry out the binary conversion treatment of the serial number data of this bank note, due to the time that the binary conversion treatment of serial number data need to be longer than identifying processing as described above, so the identifying processing of each bank note will postpone.

Therefore, the paper-money counting machine of the 2nd embodiment is using the binary conversion treatment of serial number image as the task lower than identifying processing priority, between identifying processing and next identifying processing during in carry out.

Figure 18 means the figure of timing of the identifying processing of the binary conversion treatment of serial number image of the 2nd embodiment and bank note.If obtain the view data of bank note B1 by line sensor 21,22, identification part 20 or control part 50 are for the view data that obtains bank note B1 or recognition result and carry out identifying processing.Then, if obtain the and then view data of the bank note B2 of bank note B1 by line sensor 21,22, identification part 20 or control part 50 are for the view data that obtains bank note B2 or recognition result and carry out identifying processing.

After the identifying processing of bank note B1 finishes and the identifying processing of bank note B2 before starting during in t20 ~ t21, the view data of the serial number of 50 couples of bank note B1 of control part is carried out binary conversion treatment.At this moment, as mentioned above, during in t20 ~ t21, control part 50 can't complete the binary conversion treatment of the serial number of bank note B1.In addition, the priority of the identifying processing of the priority ratio bank note of the binary conversion treatment of serial number is low.Therefore, in the zero hour of the identifying processing of bank note B2 t21, control part 50 interrupts the binary conversion treatment of the serial number of bank note B1.Then, in the finish time of the identifying processing of bank note B2 t22, control part 50 restarts the binary conversion treatment of the serial number of bank note B1.In moment t23, if complete the binary conversion treatment of the serial number of bank note B1, control part 50 continues the binary conversion treatment of the serial number of beginning bank note B2.

In the zero hour of the identifying processing of the bank note B3 of bank note B2 and then t24, control part 50 interrupts the binary conversion treatment of the serial number of bank note B2.Then, in the finish time of the identifying processing of bank note B3 t25, control part 50 restarts the binary conversion treatment of the serial number of bank note B2.In moment t26, if complete the binary conversion treatment of the serial number of bank note B2, control part 50 continues the binary conversion treatment of the serial number of beginning bank note B3.

After the counting processing of bank note finishes, 50 pairs of control parts not yet complete the serial number of the remaining bank note Bi ~ Bn of binary conversion treatment and carry out binary conversion treatment.At this moment, because whole identifying processings of bank note all finishes, so control part 50 is carried out the binary conversion treatment of the serial number of bank note Bi ~ Bn continuously.

Like this, control part 50 utilize the identifying processing of bank note B1 and and then between the identifying processing of its bank note B2 during t20 ~ t21, implement to carry out the binary conversion treatment of view data of the serial number of bank note.

In addition, the serial number result that control part 50 obtains with binary conversion treatment by serial number for the recognition result that will obtain by identifying processing is carried out associated according to each bank note B1 ~ Bn, to recognition result and the serial number result additional discriminators of each bank note.Identifier is such as being that the information that can distinguish serial number, counting time on date of processing etc. bank note gets final product.Thus, when recognition result and serial number result are sent to the epigyny device 90 shown in Fig. 7, epigyny device 90 can be managed recognition result and serial number result according to each bank note.

As mentioned above, the paper-money counting machine of the 2nd embodiment view data to the serial number of bank note between identifying processing and next identifying processing is carried out binary conversion treatment.Therefore, the binary conversion treatment of serial number can be approached in real time, even also the completed serial number result of binary conversion treatment can be notified successively to epigyny device 90 in the counting of bank note is processed.In addition, after the counting processing finishes, can shorten the time of the binary conversion treatment of serial number.

In addition, the binary conversion treatment of serial number is low task and carrying out as the priority than identifying processing, so the high identifying processing of priority can not be subject to the interference of the binary conversion treatment of serial number.

Owing to the binary conversion treatment of serial number can being approached in real time, so epigyny device 90 can show, stores or print the serial number of bank note substantially in real time.

In addition, paper counting machine of the present invention is not limited to aforesaid way, can increase various changes.In more detail, paper counting machine of the present invention is not limited to carry out the paper-money counting machine of the counting of bank note.As paper counting machine of the present invention, can use the equipment of the counting of the paper in addition such as the bank note that carries out check or exchange ticket.

In addition, paper counting machine of the present invention is defined as the equipment that is provided with a throw-in part and an accumulation section.
