Figure 15 illustrates the various states that the rotation status of the cam 72 involved by embodiments of the present invention is corresponding.When looking into the distance from the front of bank note treatment device 1, cam 72 rotates counterclockwise.The bank note containing that will insert in bank note containing portion 423 time, cam 72 is by having rotated a series of action 1 time.Figure 15 (A) illustrates the original state (position of master connecting-rod 71 now is equivalent to " reference position " in the present invention) before bank note inserts.In the state of Figure 15 (A), it is wide cut state between movable wall 35R, 35L.It addition, bank note containing structure 41 is the holding state shown in Figure 13 (A).

After bank note inserts, when being judged to narrow bank note by inlet sensor, rotating cam 72 makes it be changed to the state of Figure 15 (B), namely the state (position of master connecting-rod 71 now is equivalent to " the 1st position " in the present invention) that the width that is changed between movable wall 35R, 35L is reduced, drives carry strap 24R, 24L to start the carrying of bank note.

After bank note is moved to position in opposite directions, same bank note containing portion 423, cam 72 is allowed then to rotate, bank note containing structure 41 is made to start action (Figure 15 (C)), press section 411 is allowed to be arranged in top dead-centre " the 2nd position " of the present invention (position of master connecting-rod 71 now be equivalent to) (Figure 15 (D)) as shown in Figure 13 (B), by the bank note that the carrying of bank note carrying mechanism comes, bank note containing structure 41 it is accommodated in bank note containing portion 423.Thereafter, allow cam 72 then rotate, terminate the action (Figure 15 (E)) of bank note containing structure 41.Cam 72 then rotates, from the state of Figure 15 (E), the original state returning to Figure 15 (A).

On the other hand, when being judged to wide cut bank note by inlet sensor, bank note not rotating cam 72 at once after inserting, keeping be under wide cut state between movable wall 35R, 35L, and driving carry strap 24R, 24L start the carrying of bank note.After bank note is moved to position in opposite directions, same bank note containing portion 423, cam 72 is made to start to rotate, after the state of Figure 15 (B), situation with narrow bank note is the same, through Figure 15 (C), Figure 15 (D), Figure 15 (E), allow bank note containing structure 41 action, the bank note that carrying comes is stored in bank note containing portion 423.Then, cam 72 then rotates, from the state of Figure 15 (E), the original state returning to Figure 15 (A).

So, the bank note treatment device 1 of present embodiment, it is considered to the action moment of movable wall 35R, opportunity of variable-width of 35L and bank note containing structure 41, allows variable-width mechanism and bank note containing structure 41 interlock action.

Bank note treatment device 1 described above is illustrated that it controls.In Figure 16, it is shown that the block diagram of the control structure of expression bank note treatment device 1 involved by embodiments of the present invention.Bank note treatment device 1 possesses to control the various structures centered by portion 81.The composition in control portion 81 is, has: CPU, stores the ROM of control program, the output of sensor class carries out the D/A converter section of numeral conversion, temporarily storage carry out the RAM etc. of the output of sensor class.As the sensor class being arranged in bank note treatment device 1, have: be arranged near bank note insert port 12a, and detect the inlet sensor 60A of the insertion of bank note and the width of bank note；And carry out the identification sensor 60B of the true and false judgement of bank note, currency type judgement.

In bank note carrying mechanism, have: make driving pulley 21 rotate and drive, and carried the 1st drive source 31 of bank note by carry strap 24R, 24L；Bank note is stored in the bank note containing structure 41 of paper money storage box 42；For being used for corresponding the movable wall 35R of different in width bank note, 35L so that it is the 2nd drive source 32 of action.Although it addition, in the bank note carrying mechanism of present embodiment, carry strap 24R, 24L the mechanism carrying bank note is illustrated but it also may adopt and replaced carry strap 24R, 24L to carry the bank note carrying mechanism of bank note by roller.

In fig. 17 it is shown that the flow chart of the bank note admission processing of bank note treatment device 1 involved by expression embodiments of the present invention.After bank note treatment device 1 is switched on power, bank note admission processing performs the process of S101～S112 repeatedly.Detect in the situation (S101:Yes) that bank note inserts at inlet sensor 60A, based on the output signal of inlet sensor 60A, it is determined that the width of the bank note of insertion.When the width of the bank note judged is as the 2nd width (narrow) (the S102: the 2 width), immediately begin to the 1st opportunity after width of paper money detects drive the 2nd drive source 32, make movable wall 35R, 35L be changed to narrow state (S103).After being changed to the transport path width being suitable for inserted width of paper money, start to drive the 1st drive source 31, start the carrying (S104) of bank note.

On the other hand, when the width of the bank note judged is as the 1st width (wide cut) (the S102: the 1 width), start to drive the 1st drive source 31, start the carrying (S105) of bank note.Movable wall 35R, 35L original state, become the state of the width (W1) shown in Figure 10 (B-2), namely become suitable for the state of wide cut bank note.So, by making the width of bank note transport path 15 become suitable state according to the width of bank note inserted, it is possible to stably carry the bank note of insertion.Additionally, by using the width of suitable bank note transport path 15 to carry bank note, the identification sensor 60B (light-emitting component 65 and photo detector 66) being arranged at bank note transport path 15 can also be utilized, detect the assigned position of the bank note of carrying, it is possible to realize the raising of accuracy of identification.

In bank note handling process in bank note transport path 15, after the midway of bank note transport path 15 is closed by baffle plate 45, by identifying that sensor 60B carries out the true and false judgement of bank note, currency type judges (S106).True and false judgement is to be the judgement of genuine note or counterfeit money about bank note, and currency type judges the judgement being to judge to belong to which bank note currency type from multiple bank note.By based on the true and false judgement identifying sensor 60B, when the bank note inserted is genuine note (S107:Yes), carrying mechanism bank note is transported to the 1st fork transport path 55A or the 2nd formed by fixation wall 50R, 50L and diverges transport path 55B (S108).Then, the 2nd drive source 32 is driven to make bank note containing structure 41 action, by bank note containing in bank note containing portion 423 (S109).

With to the bank note containing in bank note containing portion 423, the amount of money corresponding with the bank note currency type judged at S106 carries out adding up to (S110) as inserting the amount of money.Then, while stopping the driving of the 1st drive source the 31, the 2nd drive source 32, stop driving solenoid 46, bank note transport path 15 is returned to open state (S111).

On the other hand, based in the true and false judgement identifying sensor 60B, when the bank note inserted is counterfeit money (S112:No), reversion drives carrying mechanism, and by bank note, (bank note insert port 12a side) carries round about.When the discharge confirming bank note (S113:Yes), the 1st drive source the 31, the 2nd drive source 32, solenoid 46 is made to stop driving (S111).

Above, although being illustrated for bank note treatment device 1, but bill handling device involved in the present invention, as paper can not only using bank note as identify object, and can using the various papers such as coupons, reward voucher, marketable securities as identify object.

It follows that other embodiments with regard to the bank note treatment device 1 involved by embodiments of the present invention illustrate.Being built-in with in the various devices of bank note treatment device 1 at electric car ticket automatic machine etc., some device can accept multiple bank note.In such device, it is necessary to process rapidly multiple bank note, therefore, bank note treatment device 1 needs the insert continually of reply bank note.The feature that present embodiment has is, it is possible to accept the bank note acceptance process of bank note insert continually.

Figure 18 is the schematic diagram of the relation of various actions corresponding to the state of the cam involved by embodiments of the present invention.The schematic diagram of the relation of the various actions that the state of the cam 72 in the Figure 18 (A) embodiment illustrated by Figure 15 is corresponding.In Figure 18 (A), master connecting-rod 71 is positioned at the reference position identical with Figure 15 (A).As illustrated in figure 15, by with the rotation of cam 72, the position of cam projection 72a changes, master connecting-rod 71 makes its position change up and down.With the change in location of master connecting-rod 71, perform the variable-width action moved based on movable wall 35R, 35L and the storage action based on bank note containing structure 41.Specifically, in Figure 18 (A), when master connecting-rod 71 moves downwards from reference position, perform variable-width action.In variable-width action, master connecting-rod 71, when being positioned at bottom (the 1st position), is the distance of corresponding narrow bank note between two movable wall 35R, 35L.On the other hand, when master connecting-rod 71 is moved upward from reference position, perform the storage action based on bank note containing structure 41.It addition, in reference position and storage action, be the distance of corresponding wide cut bank note between two movable wall 35R, 35L.

In above-mentioned embodiment, rotation (rotating forward) counterclockwise is only carried out in the drawings due to cam 72, so, when be such as initially inserted into for wide cut bank note, in order to this wide cut bank note is accommodated in bank note containing portion 423, after execution variable-width action (after the 1st position), there is the necessity performing storage action.Then, when the bank note next inserted is wide cut bank note, the distance between two movable wall 35R, 35L becomes the distance of corresponding narrow bank note due to variable-width action, so the insertion of bank note can be hindered.

Figure 18 (B) is the schematic diagram of the relation of various actions corresponding to the state of the cam 72 in present embodiment.In present embodiment, cam 72 is set to rotate (rotate forward, reverse) to both direction.Then, by making cam 72 forward or reverse according to the state of cam 72, it is possible to be performed without variable-width action unnecessary and can perform storage action.Such as, in the state of Figure 18 (B), when inserting wide cut bank note, by allowing cam 72 opposite direction rotate (turning clockwise), can without storage action can be performed with variable-width action, even if follow-up bank note is wide cut bank note, insert without hindering it.It addition, when follow-up for narrow bank note, after the bank note before storing, by perform variable-width action, its position can obtain suitable adjustment.

So, in present embodiment, by controlling the rotation of cam 72 so that it is the insert continually of bank note can be tackled.About various structures, it is identical with above-mentioned embodiment, and about bank note admission processing, it is different that it processes content.At this, with regard to the bank note admission processing of present embodiment, illustrate that it processes content.Figure 19, Tu20Zhong, it is shown that represent the flow chart of the bank note admission processing involved by other embodiments of the present invention.It addition, in Figure 19, Figure 20 and the following description, letter (A)～(D) represented with parantheses tackles the state of (A)～(D) of Figure 15 respectively.In the bank note admission processing illustrated by Figure 17, by the state of the cam 72 of (A) as original state.In the present embodiment, by original state as bank note admission processing cam 72 of (A) state or (C) state (under two states, master connecting-rod 71 is all located at reference position).

Bank note treatment device 1 starts, and when bank note admission processing starts, inlet sensor 60A monitors the insertion (S201) of bank note.When inlet sensor 60A detects that bank note inserts (S201:Yes), based on the output signal of inlet sensor 60A, it is determined that the width of the bank note of insertion.After judging that bank note inserts, mark (flag) is initialised (S202).It is masked as the identification information in the memory portion being temporarily stored in control portion 81, in the present embodiment, using state bank note insert continually being detected as the situation being masked as " 1 ", using the state being not detected by bank note insert continually as the situation being masked as " 0 ".When the width of the inlet sensor 60A bank note detected is the 1st width (wide cut) (the S203: the 1 width), start to drive the 1st drive source 31, start the carrying (S210) of bank note.Movable wall 35R, 35L original state be suitable for wide cut bank note state, so not performing variable-width action.

Bank note is carried to temporary transient retention position.Temporary transient retention position refers to, the rear end of bank note, in bank note transport path 15, is positioned at the position in the downstream identifying sensor 60B.Although, bank note treatment device 1 has same automatic vending machine etc. and is provided with the communication unit that the device (hereinafter referred to as " epigyny device ") of bank note treatment device 1 communicates, in the record of the control structure shown in Figure 16, eliminate the communication unit for communicating with epigyny device.When judgement bank note is carried to temporary transient retention position (S211:Yes), stops the 1st drive source 31, stop the carrying (S212) of bank note.Then, for preventing bank note to be pumped, bank note transport path 15 is closed with baffle plate 45.Thereafter, based on identifying the sensor 60B signal read, perform the true and false judgement of bank note, currency type judges (S213).

In step 203, when the inlet sensor 60A width of paper money detected is the 2nd width (narrow) (the S203: the 2 width), control portion 81 judges when the position of front cam 72 is original state (A) or original state (C) (S204).When the position of front cam 72 is (A) state, makes cam 72 just forward the position of (B) to, perform variable-width action, make to be changed between two movable wall 35R, 35L the distance (S205) of corresponding narrow bank note.On the other hand, when the position of front cam 72 is (C) state, makes cam 72 be inverted to the position of (B), perform variable-width action (S206).Thereafter, start to drive the 1st drive source 31, start the carrying (S207) of bank note, it is carried to temporary transient retention position (S208:Yes) as condition using bank note, stop the 1st drive source 31, made cam 72 rotate forward by the 2nd drive source 32, be changed to (C) state (S209).In this case, the bank note with the 1st width is the same, for preventing bank note to be pumped, closes bank note transport path 15 with baffle plate 45.Thereafter, based on identifying the sensor 60B signal read, perform the true and false judgement of bank note, currency type judges (S213).

When the true and false result judged is genuine note as the bank note inserted (S214:Yes), control portion 81 sends the amount of money etc. drawn based on the bank note currency type judged to epigyny device (automatic vending machine) (S215), waits that epigyny device sends temporarily stored bank note containing in the instruction (hereinafter referred to as receiving coin instruction) of incorporating section.Waiting during this receipts coin instruction, bank note is that in the present embodiment, in this period, inlet sensor 60A monitors the insertion (insert continually of bank note) (S216) of follow-up bank note in the standby state of temporary transient retention position.Detecting (S216:Yes) when bank note inserts, mark is changed to " 1 " (S217) by control portion 81, and notice epigyny device detects the insertion of bank note.Control portion 81 receive from epigyny device send receiving coin order (S218:Yes), driving the 1st drive source 31 to be carried to by bank note can reception position (with plate 421 position in opposite directions) (S219).

On the other hand, when the true and false result judged is not genuine note as the bank note inserted (S214:No), after control portion 81 open baffle 45, reversion drives (the bank note insert port 12a side) carrying round about by bank note of the 1st drive source 31 (S220).The reversion of the 1st drive source 31 drives and performs to bank note to be discharged (S221:Yes) always.In step 222, when the position of front cam 72 is (C) state, makes by allowing cam 72 rotate forward its order by (D), (E), perform storage action (S223).Cam 72 is driven in rotation until arriving (A) position (S226:Yes).In this period, also performed the supervision (S224) to bank note insert continually by inlet sensor 60A, detect that, when insert continually (S224:Yes), mark is changed to " 1 " (S225).

Cam 72 arrives (S226:Yes) after (A) position, and control portion 81 determines whether the insert continually of bank note (S227) based on mark.It is determined with when bank note insert continually (S227:Yes), stops cam (S233), return to the beginning of bank note admission processing flow process.Thereafter bank note treatment device is according to flow process, accepts the bank note of insert continually.

On the other hand, it is not detected by when bank note insert continually (S227:No), allows cam 72 rotate forward from (A) position and be changed to (C) position (S228).Describe cam 72 before and can adopt two original states ((A) and (C)), in the present embodiment, by (C) position as preferred original state.Then, when being not detected by bank note insert continually, allow cam 72 rotate forward, be changed to original state (C).In this case, although can with variable-width action, but because being absent from the bank note of insert continually, so no problem.On the other hand, when bank note insert continually being detected, directly by (A) state as original state, do not perform variable-width action.

On the other hand, in step 222, when the position of front cam 72 is (A) state, the insert continually (S229) with or without bank note is first confirmd that.When being determined with bank note insert continually (S229:Yes), by allowing cam 72 reversion make its order by (E), (D), perform storage action (S230).So, when there being bank note insert continually, by allowing cam 72 reversion perform storage action, it is possible to without performing storage action with variable-width action.Control portion 81, after storage release, allows cam 72 be inverted to (C) position (S231:Yes), makes cam 72 stop (S232).In this case, owing to the position of cam 72 is preferred original state, so namely can return to the beginning of bank note admission processing flow process without rotating cam 72.

On the other hand, when being judged to without bank note insert continually (S229:No), make by allowing cam 72 rotate forward its order by (D), (E), perform storage action (S223), perform subsequent treatment (S224～S228).

Consider from the action of the various mechanisms such as the 2nd drive source 32, interlinked mechanism 82, it is preferable that allow cam 72 rotate forward as far as possible.In present embodiment, it is changed to preferred original state (C) (S228) by when not detecting insert continually (S227:No), or when not detecting insert continually, (S229:No) allows cam 72 rotate forward execution storage action (S223), improves the rotating forward utilization rate of cam 72.

Above, the bank note admission processing that just can realize bank note insert continually is illustrated, in present embodiment, when detecting bank note insert continually, storage action is performed because being not accompanied by variable-width action, distance between two movable wall 35R, 35L will not become the distance (width in path will not narrow) of corresponding narrow bank note, so follow-up bank note will not be hindered to insert.
