Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bill processor and its controlling method, and more particularly to a bill processor and its controlling method used for bill accommodation processing in automatic vending machines and the like.
  • equipment such as an automatic vending machine for processing bill is provided therein with a bill processor which discriminates authentic or counterfeit of bill and accommodates authentic bills.
  • the bill processor identifies inserted bill by denominations and discriminates as authentic or counterfeit, and when the inserted bill is judged as authentic, the bill processor accommodates that bill and informs the automatic vending machine and the like about the insertion of the authentic bill.
  • an insertion sensor detects its insertion, and a conveying motor (not shown) is activated.
  • the conveying motor is driven, the pulleys 102 linked with it are driven to make a conveyer belt (not shown), which is disposed along the bill conveying passage, convey the inserted bill along the bill conveying passage 103.
  • the discrimination sensor 104 detects the features of the bill, and the bill is judged as authentic or counterfeit based on the detected result.
  • the stack drum 105 rotates in a predetermined direction, and the stacker chute 106 also moves in a direction indicated by arrow A in Fig. 4 to accommodate the bill in the stacker 107.
  • the holding plate 108 is provided in the stacker 107 with the coil spring 109 disposed between them to push the accommodated bill toward the stack drum 105 by the holding plate 108.
  • Fig. 5 is a front view of the stack drum 105 viewed from the side of the stacker 107.
  • the carrier switch 150 comprises rotation section 151 and detection section 152.
  • the detection section 152 is switched between ON and OFF depending on the rotating position of the rotation section 151. For example, when the rotation section 151 is in the position as shown in Fig. 6(a) and Fig. 6(d), the detection section 152 is in the OFF position.
  • the rotation section 151 rotates in a direction indicated by arrow D from the position shown in Fig. 6(a) to the position shown in Fig. 6(b) and Fig. 6(e) with the detection section 152 remained in the OFF position and further rotates in a direction indicated by arrow E to switch ON the detection section 152 in the state as shown in Fig. 6(c) and Fig. 6(f).
  • Fig. 6(g) shows the relationship between the positions of the rotation section 151 and the states of the detection section 152.
  • a timer is activated when the detection unit 150 is switched from ON to OFF to turn off the power supply of the stack motor with the lapse of predetermined time, so that the time to be set on the timer can be adjusted.
  • Figs. 7(a) to 7(c) are diagrams showing the number of rotations of the stack motor, its feeding state, and the states of the carrier switch 150.
  • the timer is activated when the carrier switch 150 is switched from ON to OFF.
  • predetermined time T is measured by the timer, the power supply of the stack motor is turned off, then the stack motor continuously rotates in inertia and stops in due time.
  • the stack drums 105-1 and 105-2 rotate for distance (angle) L corresponding to an area of the shaped section in the figure within time TL between the switching of the carrier switch 150 from ON to OFF and the stop of the stack motor.
  • time T is set so that the stop position after the aforesaid rotation is a desired position.
  • the stop position is not always constant because a load on the stack motor is variable depending on a temperature, the increase of the number of bill accommodated, changes in power supply voltage and the like.
  • the load decreases in a high-temperature condition but increases in a low-temperature condition, and automatic vending machines and the like disposed outdoors tend to be influenced by such conditions.
  • bill may jam in the processor?.
  • the stack motor rotates at a relatively high number of rotations as shown in Fig. 7(b). Therefore, the stack motor takes longer time to stop when the power supply of the stack motor is turned off after the passage of predetermined time T from the moment the carrier switch 150 is switched from ON to OFF. Accordingly, time from the change in the state of the carrier switch 150 to the stop of the stack motor is TL+TL1, and a moved distance within the aforesaid time is distance L1 (>L) corresponding to an area of the shaded section in the figure.
  • the stack motor rotates at a relatively low number of rotations as shown in Fig. 7(c). Therefore, the stack motor takes shorter time to stop when the power supply of the stack motor is turned off after the passage of predetermined time T from the moment the carrier switch 150 is switched from ON to OFF. Accordingly, time from the change in the state of the carrier switch 150 to the stop of the stack motor becomes TL+TL2, and a moved distance within the aforesaid time becomes distance L2 ( ⁇ L) corresponding to an area of the shaded section shown in the figure.
  • the conventional bill processor cannot stop the stack drum at a predetermined position when the load on the stack motor is varied due to a change in temperature and the like and has a disadvantage that bill cannot be accepted if variations in stop position are enormous.
  • the invention of claim 1 is a bill processor which rotates a stack drum by a stack motor to accommodate bill by rotations of the stack drum, characterized by:
  • the invention of claim 2 is the bill processor according to claim 1, wherein the position detection means is a carrier switch, and the time measuring means measures a time from the change of the carrier switch from OFF to ON until the change of the carrier switch to OFF again.
  • the invention of claim 3 is a method of controlling a bill processor which rotates a stack drum by a stack motor to accommodate bill by rotations of the stack drum, characterized by:
  • the invention of claim 4 is the method of controlling a bill processor according to claim 3, wherein the detection of the load characteristics is carried out by detecting a rotation position of the stack drum and measuring a time required for the stack drum to rotate to a predetermined position.
  • the invention of claim 5 is the method of controlling a bill processor according to claim 4, wherein the detection of the rotation position is performed by a carrier switch, and the detection of the load characteristics is carried out by measuring the time from the change of the carrier switch from OFF to ON until the change of carrier switch to OFF again.
  • the invention of claim 6 is the method of controlling a bill processor according to claim 5, wherein the power feeding to the stack motor is stopped after a lapse of the feeding time determined by the feeding time determination means from a time point when the state of the carrier switch is changed from ON to OFF.
  • the bill processor according to the invention has basically the same structure as a conventional bill processor except that a control unit for a stack motor which drives a stack drum is different. Therefore, descriptions about the structure other than the control unit will be omitted.
  • Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing the structure of a stack motor control unit which is a part of the structure of the bill processor.
  • the stack motor control unit comprises carrier SW (switch) sensor 1, timer 2, timer value calculating unit 3, time measuring unit 4, and motor controller 5.
  • the carrier SW sensor 1 detects a state of a carrier switch disposed within a stack drum (not shown), and the time measuring unit 4 measures time during which the carrier switch to be detected by the carrier SW sensor 1 is in the ON position.
  • the timer value calculating unit 3 calculates time to be measured by the timer 2 on the basis of the time, during which the carrier switch is ON, measured by the time measuring unit 4, and the timer 2 measures the time calculated by the timer value calculating unit 3.
  • the motor controller 5 drives the stack motor and stops the feeding to the stack motor when the timer 2 has measured predetermined time.
  • a number of rotations of the stack motor is variable depending on a state of load (magnitude), so that time, during which the stack motor drives to rotate the stack drum and the state of the carrier switch is changed (rotation angle is constant regardless of the load), is also variable.
  • the time measuring unit 4 measures the time during which the carrier switch changes its state from ON to OFF, and the timer value calculating unit 3 changes time set on the timer 2 according to the measured result.
  • the stop position of the stack drum can be kept constant.
  • Fig. 2(a) shows that when the motor controller 5 starts feeding to the stack motor, the stack motor rotates, and the stack drum rotates accordingly. Then, the output of the carrier switch is changed from OFF to ON. When the carrier switch is changed from OFF to ON, the carrier SW sensor 1 detects the change, and the time measuring unit 4 starts measuring time. When the stack drum rotates to a predetermined position, the output of the carrier switch changes from ON to OFF, and the carrier SW sensor 1 detects its change. Thus, the time measuring unit 4 terminates measuring of ON time Tc of the carrier switch, and the timer value calculating unit 3 calculates according to the time Tc a count time to be set on the timer 2.
  • the count time calculated by the timer value calculating unit 3 is variable depending on the time Tc measured by the time measuring unit 4. But, Fig. 2(a) shows the example with a standard load. Therefore, time T corresponding to the standard load is calculated. Thus, the timer 2 starts measuring the time T. After the time T is measured, the motor controller 5 stops feeding to the stack motor, and the stack motor rotates in inertia only and then stops in due course. In this case, a distance (angle) that the stack drum rotates in time TL between the change of the output of the carrier switch from ON to OFF and the stop of the stack motor becomes L corresponding to an area of the shaded section in the figure.
  • Fig. 2(b) shows that the stack motor has a small load. It is also seen that when the motor controller 5 starts feeding to the stack motor, the stack motor rotates, and the stack drum rotates accordingly. Then, the output of the carrier switch changes from OFF to ON. When the carrier switch is changed from OFF to ON, the carrier SW sensor 1 detects the change, and the time measuring unit 4 starts measuring time. The stack drum rotates to a predetermined position, and the output of the carrier switch is changed from ON to OFF, then the carrier SW sensor 1 detects the change. Thus, the time measuring unit 4 terminates measuring ON time Tc1 of the carrier switch, and the timer value calculating unit 3 calculates count time to be set on the timer 2.
  • time Tc1 measured by the time measuring unit 4 is shorter than the time Tc in the case of the standard load, and the count time calculated by the timer value calculating unit 3 becomes time T-t1 which is sorter than the time T, calculated in the case of the standard load, by t1. Therefore, the timer 2 measures the time T-t1.
  • the motor controller 5 stops feeding to the stack motor, which then continuously rotates in inertia only and stops in due course. Time between the change of the output of carrier switch from ON to OFF and the stop of the stack motor becomes TL1. And, a distance (angle) that the stack drum rotates becomes L corresponding to an area of the shaded section in the figure. Therefore, the stop position of the stack drum is the same as in the case of the standard load.
  • Fig. 2(c) shows that the stack motor has a heavy load.
  • the motor controller 5 starts feeding to the stack motor, the stack motor rotates, and the stack drum rotates accordingly.
  • the output of the carrier switch is changed from OFF to ON.
  • the carrier SW sensor 1 detects the change, and the time measuring unit 4 starts measuring time.
  • the time measuring unit 4 terminates measuring ON time Tc2 of the carrier switch, and the timer value calculating unit 3 calculates count time to be set on the timer 2.
  • the time Tc2 measured by the time measuring unit 4 is longer than the time Tc in the case of the standard load, so that the count time calculated by the timer value calculating unit 3 become time T+t2, which is longer than the time T calculated in the case of the standard load, by t2. Therefore, the timer 2 measures the time T+t2, and when the timer 2 measures the time T+t2, the motor controller 4 stops feeding to the stack motor. Then, the stack motor continuously rotates in inertia only and then stops in due course. Time between the moment the output of the carrier switch changes from ON to OFF and the stop of the stack motor becomes TL2, and a distance (angle) that the stack drum rotates becomes L corresponding to an area of the shaded section in the figure. Therefore, the stop position of the stack drum becomes the same as in the case of the standard load.
  • Fig. 3 is a flow chart showing a flow of operations of the respective units from the drive to the stop of the stack motor.
  • Bill inserted through a bill insertion slot is transferred to a predetermined position, and its processing is started (step 51), and the motor controller 5 starts feeding to the stack motor (step 52).
  • the stack motor is driven to rotate the stack drum, and the carrier switch is switched from OFF to ON.
  • the carrier SW sensor 1 detects a state of the carrier switch (step 53), and when the carrier switch is switched from OFF to ON (YES in step 53), the time measuring unit 4 starts measuring (step 54). Subsequently, the carrier SW sensor 1 waits until the carrier switch is switched from ON to OFF (NO in step 55). And, when the carrier switch is switched from ON to OFF (YES in step 55), the time measuring unit 4 terminates measuring (step 56).
  • the timer value calculating unit 3 calculates count time to be set on the timer 2 on the basis of the measured result of the time measuring unit 4 (step 57) and sets the calculated time on the timer 2 (step 58). Subsequently, when the timer 2 measures up to the set time (NO in step 59), the motor controller 5 is advised the time up (YES in step 59). After receiving the time up notice, the motor controller 5 stops feeding to the stack motor (step 60), and the bill reception processing is terminated (step 61).
  • the timer value to be set on the timer 2 is calculated as occasion demands but may be kept as a plurality of values in a table and selected from the table according to the time measured by the time measuring unit 4.
  • the position of the stack drum was detected by the carrier switch. Besides, when the position of the stack drum is accurately detected in another structure having an encoder or the like, the position to stop the stack drum can be controlled by the same method as in the above embodiment because the stack motor continuously rotates In inertia after the termination of feeding.
  • the present invention is a bill processor and its controlling method which measures a time required for the stack drum to rotate to a predetermined position and calculates a time for stopping the stack motor according to the measured time. According to this structure, the stack drum can be stopped at the predetermined position even when a load fluctuates due to an environmental change such as a temperature or the like or increase in the number of accommodated bill.
