Description

  The present invention relates to a banknote handling machine, and more particularly to a banknote handling machine that rolls in banknotes and classifies them into denominations, ticket types, and printing types, and binds (bands) every predetermined number of sheets.

  In financial institutions, banknote handling machines are used to organize collected banknotes and the like. This banknote processing machine recognizes a banknote of a plurality of denominations when a normal bill (hereinafter referred to as a regular bill) and a non-performing bill (a bill that is damaged significantly due to dirt or tearing) are inserted in a mixed state. It is classified by type and damage, and is taken out or is normally subjected to a banding process in units of 100 sheets.

  It is sufficient for the previous banknote handling machine to handle three types of banknotes of 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 10,000 yen, and a typical example is disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example. In Patent Document 2, there are three external stacking units, and the external stacking unit corresponds to each of these denominations.

  However, this external stacking unit has a fixed relationship with denominations, and is merely for distribution to each denomination. It was impossible to classify tickets.

  In addition, since the introduction of the 2000 yen bill in 1989, in addition to the existing 1000 yen, 5000 yen, and 10,000 yen banknotes, a 2000 yen bill has been added to support four types of banknotes. ing.

  As a conventional banknote processing machine which aimed at such correspondence, there exist some which have four money classification accumulation parts shown by patent documents 1, for example.

Further, the design of the banknote may be changed. In such a case, the new ticket and the old ticket must be identified and classified in order to quickly collect the old ticket of the old design.
JP 2002-197509 A Utility Model Registration No. 2597752

  However, even if there are four denomination stacking units, when four types of banknotes are bound, banknotes are present in all four stacking units, and if one of them is full, feeding is stopped. Or rejected all the remaining banknotes. As a result, there is a problem that a banknote that has been drawn out immediately before full detection is rejected even if it is a normal ticket, or a real reject ticket and a normal ticket are mixed in the reject part.

  Moreover, if the conventional device was the same denomination, it could be classified by combining the old and new classification and the loss classification, but it could not be performed simultaneously for two denominations. For this reason, the two denominations could not be classified as desired unless they were passed through the processor at least twice.

  On the other hand, at the actual use site, there is a high demand for carrying out the banding by classifying the banknotes to be collected and the banknotes to be paid out (for example, a new ticket). This is because when a new ticket and an old ticket are mixed, the old ticket and the lost ticket of the new ticket are equivalent in that they need to be collected.

  Such a method of classification could not be realized by a conventional method of classifying by the same denomination by combining old and new banknotes and correctness.

  This invention was made in order to solve such a problem, and it can collect | recover old bills accompanying a design change efficiently, corresponding to processing with a high degree of freedom of four types of banknotes. It aims at providing a bill processing machine.

The banknote handling machine according to the present invention is
Taking-in means for taking in banknotes;
Identification means for identifying old and new, damage, denomination, etc. of banknotes taken in by the taking-in means;
A stacking unit that stacks a predetermined number of banknotes of a predetermined type to be bound based on the identification result of the identifying unit, and that is at least one more than the banknote type;
A bundling means for bundling a predetermined number of bundled banknotes accumulated in the stacking unit;
A denomination of banknotes to be bound, whether or not to distinguish between correct and non-performing bills, and designation means to specify the handling of old bills;
And a control unit that controls distribution of the banknotes identified by the identification unit to the plurality of stacking units based on designation by the designation unit.

  In the banknote handling machine of the present invention, when there are five or more denominations of banknotes circulating in the stacking unit for stacking banknotes to be bundled, and there are new and old tickets with the same denomination and different designs If the old ticket is treated as a loss ticket for the new ticket, even if the new and old bills are mixed and distributed, the correct ticket for the change ticket and the new ticket to be collected will be lost. Efficient banding can be performed by two types of tickets and old tickets. Further, by using five or more stacking units, the same banding can be performed simultaneously with two denominations, and the fifth stacking unit is treated as a spare stacking unit even when one stacking unit is full. As a result, the processing efficiency can be further improved.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view schematically showing an internal configuration of an embodiment of a banknote handling apparatus according to the present invention.
The banknote processing apparatus 10 has an operation display unit 11 at the uppermost part, and is mainly composed of a sorting and stacking unit 100 at the upper front, a banknote binding unit 200 at the lower front, and a transport unit 300 at the back.

(Category collection unit 100)
A depositing port 101 for receiving a bill to be processed is provided at a substantially central portion of the front surface. A bill in which the denominations are mixed is fed out by feeding rollers 102 and 103 and conveyed along a conveying path 104. .

  An identification unit 105 is provided in the middle of the conveyance path 104 to identify the denomination, correctness, true / false, and front / back. In addition, the identification part 105 shown here can also identify the old and new tickets with the same denomination and different designs.

  The conveyance path is branched at the tip of the identification unit 105, and depending on the result of identification by the identification unit 105, the damaged bill, the fake bill, and the like are accumulated in the reject bill accumulation unit 106 as a reject bill. On the other hand, in the case of genuine and genuine bills, the front and back reversing unit 107 matches the front and back sides of all banknotes according to the front and back determination result by the identification unit 105, and further, based on the determined denomination and the like. It is accumulated in any of the accumulating units 111 to 115 that store the banknotes to be bound.

  Each of these stacking units 111 to 115 has stacking stages 111a to 115a, which can be moved up and down by a driving means (not shown).

  In FIG. 1, each of the stacking units 111 to 115 is illustrated as being capable of stacking. That is, since the stages 111a to 115a are positioned at the lower end positions of the wall members 111b to 115b provided on the upper side about 2/3, the conveyed banknotes hit the wall members 111b to 115b and stop and accumulate. At this time, in order to prevent banknotes from popping out and enable stable stacking, pressers 111c to 115c that are rotatable according to the stacking amount are provided. The stages 111a to 115a and the wall members 111b to 115b are formed with cutouts through which a hand of a transfer unit described later can freely pass.

  On the other hand, banknotes that are not to be bound are further transported and stacked on the external stacking units 121 and 122.

  Various targets can be set for the stacking units 111 to 115 and the external stacking units 121 and 122, and various types of processing are possible. For example, combinations of types such as denomination / loss / new / old Can be set. Note that the setting contents themselves are not directly related to the present invention, and thus will not be mentioned here.

  Below the display operation unit 11, there is provided a fractional banknote return unit 130 for returning fractional banknotes that have been bundled, but have not reached the number that can be bound, and is provided on the lower surface of the fractional banknote return tray 131. When the leading end portion 132a of the abutting member 132 is pushed from the back, the fraction return tray 131 moves forward, the shutter 133 provided on the front opens, proceeds to the position indicated by the alternate long and short dash line, and the fraction bill is taken out. Can do. The configuration and operation of this part will be described later.

(Bill unit 200)
The banknote bundling unit 200 provided below the sorting and stacking unit 100 is a part that winds a band of paper around the banknotes that have been sorted and stacked up to a predetermined number (usually 100) and performs sealing.

  In the stacking units 111 to 115, the stacked number reaches a predetermined number and is transferred to the set unit 201 by the transport unit 300 to be described later and pinched.

  A rotation mechanism 202 is provided for winding the banding tape around a predetermined portion of the sandwiched bill, and the banding tape 204 taken out from the banding tape stacking unit 203 is stopped by the tape stopper 205 and rotated. Thus, a bundled banknote is obtained. In addition, a cutter 206 for cutting the leading end of the tape after binding and a heater 207 for thermally bonding the leading end are also provided.

  The bundled bundled banknotes are thrown out to the bundled banknote outlet 209 by the belt-type transport mechanism 208, but in the middle of the transport, the printing unit 210 that prints the denomination, date and time, serial number, etc. on the bandwrap is processed. A stamping part 211 for stamping the financial institution stamp is provided.

  Next, the conveyance part 300 provided in the back conveys a binding object banknote or a fraction banknote between the stacking parts 111-115 and the banknote binding part 200 or the fraction banknote return part 130.

(Conveying unit 300)
The conveyance unit 300 includes a guide shaft 301 installed vertically from the lower end to the upper end of the apparatus, an elevating unit 310 that can move up and down while engaging the guide shaft 301, and a drive for elevating the elevating unit 310. A belt 302 is provided.

  The elevating unit 310 has a block 312 that can be moved forward and backward by a belt mechanism 311. The block 312 has a fixed lower hand 313 and an upper hand 314 that moves up and down along a shaft 315 by a belt 316. Yes. The hands 313 and 314 are for picking up the bundled banknotes or fractional banknotes stacked in the stacking units 111 to 115 and transferring them to the banknote binding part 200 or the fractional banknote return unit 130.

(Control unit 400)
A control device 400 for controlling the overall operation of the bill processing apparatus is provided. The control device 400 includes a microprocessor as control means and communication means for connecting the control means and a host computer or the like installed in a financial institution center or the like via a communication line. Through this communication means, all status data in the apparatus is sent to the computer one by one.

  In FIG. 1, the control means 400 is depicted under the banknote binding unit 200 for convenience, but can be installed at any location in the apparatus as long as it is a space secured in the design.

  In the banknote handling machine configured as described above, according to the present invention, the stacking unit for banknotes to be banded and the external stacking unit for stacking banknotes not to be banded are denominations, correct bills or non-payments. It is possible to specify various kinds of ticket types, new ticket type or old ticket type.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of the mode setting screen displayed on the operation display unit, and is a screen when the setting button at the top of the leftmost column is pressed. This screen is a touch panel, and various operations can be performed by the operator touching a corresponding part on the screen.

  In this screen, by pressing various setting buttons provided in the leftmost row and the rightmost row, the denomination, bill type, and printing type of banknotes to be stacked in the stacking unit and the external stacking unit can be specified. it can.

  The second column from the left represents the setting contents of each stacking unit and the amount handled. The top two lines show the setting contents for the external stacking units 131 and 132, and the next four lines show the setting contents in the stacking units 111-114. Note that the stacking unit 115 is used in a preliminary manner when any of the stacking units 111 to 114 is full.

  In the example shown in FIG. 2, the two external stacking units 131 and 132 are mixed, and the four stacking units 111 to 114 each mix a new and old 5,000-yen bill and a new and old 5,000-yen bill. Two thousand yen bills are mixed with new and old, and two thousand yen bills are mixed with old and new. The meanings of mixing, old and new mixing, etc. described here will be described later.

  The lower part of these setting displays shows the amount and total amount of each bill actually taken.

  3 to 11 are diagrams showing various processing settings that can be set by the banknote handling machine according to the present invention, and FIGS. 12 to 14 are explanatory diagrams showing examples of screen display showing setting contents and results during processing. .

  3 to 5 are cases where the old ticket is handled normally without distinguishing it from the new ticket, FIG. 3 is a case where a denomination for bundling is selected, FIG. 4 is a case where a combination for bundling is directly selected, FIG. 5 shows a case where no banding is performed.

  First, FIG. 3 shows a case where a denomination to be banded is selected in the banding mode. This bundling mode is an initial value (default).

  In the present embodiment, since there are five accumulation units, one accumulation unit can be assigned to each of 10,000, 5,000, 2,000, and 1,000 denominations. The default value is when all four denominations are specified, but when organizing, all of these denominations are not always desired, so any one denomination, two denominations, or three denominations can be selected from these four denominations can do. In consideration of the actual usage, the initial value when selecting one denomination is tens of thousands, the initial value when selecting two denominations is ten thousand, and the initial value when selecting three denominations is ten thousand or five thousand. , Has become a thousand, but can be changed to any denomination.

  For these denominations, the ticket type to be bound can be selected. This ticket type can be selected from one of a correct ticket, a non-performing ticket, a mixed correct ticket, and a mixed non-slip ticket, and the initial value is a correct ticket. In addition, mixed correct bills are mixed and collected without distinction between correct and non-performing bills, and when a non-performing ticket is handled as a genuine ticket, mixed mixed non-consolidated bills are mixed and accumulated. This is the case where the stipend is treated as a non-use ticket and the “slip” stamp is stamped on the sash.

  The printing type can be selected. In this case, a new or old ticket can be designated for a denomination whose design has been changed, or a new or old ticket that does not distinguish between the two can be designated. The initial value is a new ticket.

  As described above, the contents accumulated in the accumulating unit are designated by denomination, ticket type, and printing type, so those other than these bill types are not binding targets, and these are externally accumulated without being accumulated in the accumulating unit. Sent to the department.

  It is also possible to set a stacking condition for a bill type other than the designated bill type in the external stacking unit. In the present embodiment, since two external stacking units are provided, it is possible to specify any one of the damage classification, the old and new classification, and the mixture.

  In the case of the damage classification, for example, the external stacking unit 121 collects non-banded designated bills in the external stacking unit 121 and the external stacking unit 122 collects non-banded designated bills in a mixed denomination and bill type. . By categorizing such damages, it is possible to remove the slips, so that only the correct bills can be inserted in the next process, and the processing efficiency can be improved.

  Also, in the case of new and old classification, for example, new tickets other than the wrapping designated bill type are accumulated in the external stacking unit 121 and old tickets other than the wrapping designated bill type are accumulated in the external stacking unit 122. By making such a new and old classification, it is possible to reliably remove the old ticket and not distribute it.

  When mixing is specified, when the external stacking unit 121 becomes full (usually about 200 sheets), the external stacking unit 122 performs stacking. If the stacked banknotes in the external stacking unit 121 are removed during stacking in the external stacking unit 122, the external stacking unit 121 can be stacked again after the external stacking unit 122 becomes full. In addition, it is preferable to display the content which extracted the banknote which became full from the external stacking part as fixed data on a display part, and to transmit to a high-order computer via the communication means of the control part 400. FIG.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a screen display in the operation display unit that is executing the bundling mode.

  The top two rows show the contents of integration in the two external integration units. In this example, banknotes other than the designated bill type are stacked without discriminating between loss and old.

  The next four lines show the setting contents for the four stacking sections, and also display the number of bundles and the number of fractions that have been bound. Here, an old ticket of 10,000 yen regular ticket, an old ticket of 10,000 yen non-performing ticket, an old ticket of 5,000 yen genuine ticket, and an old ticket of 5,000 yen damaged ticket are set up.

  The bottom five lines show the amounts paid and processed for the four types of denominations and the total amount.

  FIG. 4 is a chart showing a case where various modes can be directly designated when an old ticket is handled as a normal ticket and banding is performed.

  In this embodiment, one of the four denominations of 10,000, 5,000, 2,000, and 1,000 can be used to collect the correct bill and the non-performing bill for each of the two stacking units 1 Denominations of denominations and denominations of 2 denominations (initial value: 10,000,000) About 1 denomination (initial value: 10,000) of denominations About 1 denomination new and old, and 2 denominations of 3 denominations (initial value: 10 thousand) There are five modes, 2 denominations old and new, and loss 2, in which new tickets and old tickets are stacked in 4 stacking sections. This loss 2 selects 2 denominations (initial value: 10,000, thousand) of 4 denominations, and selects a new ticket, old ticket, or old and new ticket (initial value: new ticket) as the printing type Is. In this mode, unlike the case of 1 denomination old and new and 2 denomination old and new, it is not possible to select a ticket type that designates any one of a genuine note, a non-performing ticket, a mixed genuine note, and a mixed non-conforming note.

  Also in the case of these direct designations, when stacking banknotes not to be bound on the external stacking unit, any one of mixing, loss classification, and old and new classification can be specified.

  FIG. 5 shows a case where an old ticket is treated as a normal ticket and no banding is performed.

  First, in the deposit mode, when a bill containing various bill types is set in the deposit port, the desired bill type is accumulated in the external stacking unit with the front and back sides aligned. In this mode, since the usage mode of the two external stacking units is determined, it is not possible to select the external stacking unit, and no response is made even if the setting button is pressed. The indistinguishable ticket is accumulated in the reject banknote accumulating unit 106. This deposit mode has the following four processes.

  The default classification process is one of four types of money, 5,000, 2,000, and thousand (initial value: 10,000). ) Of the designated printing type in the external stacking unit 121, and the non-designated non-designated printing type in the external stacking unit 122. Therefore, as a matter of course, it is not possible to select a ticket type relating to damage.

  Denominations cannot be selected for other types of mixing, damage, old and new, and all denominations are mixed.

  First of all, in the mixing process, the designated printing type out of one of the new ticket, old ticket, and new and old ticket (initial value: new ticket) is transported by all denomination mixing and loss mixing, and collected in the external stacking unit 121 When this is full, it is a process of accumulating in the external accumulator 122. Undesignated printing types are accumulated in the reject banknote accumulating unit 106.

  In the correct / incorrect processing, the designated printing type correct note is accumulated in the external stacking unit 121, and the designated printing type loss ticket is accumulated in the external stacking unit 122. Undesignated printing types are accumulated in the reject banknote accumulating unit 106.

  The old and new process is a process in which a denomination, a ticket type, and a printing type are not selected, and a new ticket is collected in the external stacking unit 121 and an old ticket is stacked in the external stacking unit 122.

  In this embodiment, it is assumed that the denomination cannot be selected in the case of damage and new / old processing, but the denomination may be selected. In this case, the non-designated denomination is accumulated in the reject banknote accumulation unit 106.

  FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a screen display in the operation display unit that is executing the deposit mode.

  The top two rows show the contents of the two external stacking units. In this example, since the mode of mixing is specified, all banknotes of all denominations are stacked without discriminating between correctness, old and new. ing.

  Since the four stacking units are not used, there is no setting content display for these, and the amount paid out and processed at the bottom and the total amount are shown.

  Next, batch processing is to count banknotes set in the banknote insertion slot, align the front and back, and stack the specified number on the external stacking unit.

  The number of sheets is set with the numeric keypad within the range of the capacity of the external stacking unit (about 200 sheets) (initial value: 150 sheets), and the denomination is automatic, one of four denominations of 10,000, 5,000, 2,000, and 1,000. The type (initial value: automatic) can be selected, and the normality is usually distinguished, but it can also be selected when it is not distinguished, and any of new tickets, old tickets, and old and new tickets (initial value: new tickets) can also be selected. It is. The non-designated printing money type and the non-designated printing money type are accumulated in the reject banknote stacking unit 106.

  Here, “automatic” is a mode in which the first denomination is transported to the external stacking unit when the bill placed on the bill insertion slot is transported. For example, when the first banknote conveyed first is 10,000 yen, the denomination of 10,000 yen is automatically selected.

  FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a screen display in the operation display unit that is executing the batch mode.

  The top two rows show the contents of integration in the two external integration units. In this example, an old ticket of 10,000 yen is designated. Below that, there is a column for designating the number of batches, where 150 is designated. Note that this batch processing can be repeated a plurality of times, and the number of batches for that can be specified.

  Since the four stacking units are not used, there is no setting content display for these, and the amount paid out and processed at the bottom and the total amount are shown.

  6 to 8 are tables showing various modes when the old ticket is treated as reject. These correspond to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, respectively, and the contents are similar. Therefore, different parts will be mainly described.

  First, in the case of selecting the denomination shown in FIG. 6, the printing type is inevitably fixed to a new ticket and cannot be selected because the old ticket is treated as a reject. Others are the same as described in FIG.

  Next, in the case of the direct band selection shown in FIG. 7, it is premised that the old ticket is handled as rejected, so the modes of 1 denomination old and new and 2 denomination old and new cannot be selected, so The printing type cannot be selected even in the 2 mode, and the new ticket is fixed.

  Next, the mode with no banding shown in FIG. 8 cannot be selected because there is no new or old processing in the deposit mode, and the printing type cannot be selected in other classification processing, mixing processing, and loss processing, New ticket is fixed. Similarly, the printing type cannot be selected even in batch processing, and a new ticket is fixed.

  FIG. 9 to FIG. 11 are charts showing various modes in the case where processing is performed by treating an old ticket as a damaged ticket of a new ticket, which is a main part of the present invention.

  In order to treat such an old ticket as a damaged ticket for a new ticket, the handling of the old ticket may be selected as a new damaged ticket on the setting screen as shown in FIG. By setting in this way, what is determined as an old ticket in the identification unit 106 is handled as a new ticket regardless of whether it is a correct ticket or a damaged ticket.

  In the setting screen of FIG. 15, it is possible to select on / off of the sky direction. The celestial direction defines the banknotes with the front and back aligned in the upright state as celestial positive, and the banknotes in the inverted state as celestial reverse. What you do is the celestial on mode.

  Specifically, for example, in case of 10,000 yen banding, when the top direction is on, a bill is placed on the bill insertion slot 101, and the top and bottom inversion unit 107 reverses the front and back according to the identification result of the identification unit 105. The banknotes with the positive direction are stacked on the stacking units 111 to 115 and sealed, and the banknotes with the reverse direction are discharged to the external stackers 121 and 122. Since the discharged banknotes are aligned in the upside down direction, if they are placed again in the banknote insertion slot, the banding process can be performed in the upright direction.

  On the other hand, when the celestial direction is off, both the celestial positive and the reverse celestial are mixed and bundled in the stacking unit.

  FIGS. 9 to 11 also correspond to FIGS. 3 to 5, respectively, and are similar in content. Therefore, different parts will be mainly described.

  First, in the case of selecting the denomination of FIG. 9, the printing type is inevitably fixed to the old and new ticket and cannot be selected because the old ticket is treated as a new ticket. Others are the same as described in FIG.

  Next, in the case of the direct tie selection shown in FIG. 10, it is premised that the old ticket is treated as a damaged ticket of the new ticket, so the mode of the first denomination and the second denomination can be selected. In addition, the printing type cannot be selected even in the loss 2 mode, and the old and new tickets are fixed. In this denomination mode, the two denominations, for example 10,000 yen and 5,000 yen, are separated into new bills and new bills containing old ones. Since the bundling process is performed, the processing efficiency is the highest.

  Next, the mode without banding in FIG. 11 cannot be selected because there is no new or old processing in the deposit mode, and the printing type cannot be selected in other classification processing, mixing processing, and loss processing, New and old tickets are fixed. Similarly, the printing type cannot be selected even in batch processing, and new and old tickets are fixed.

  Although various settings have been described above, the usage status of each stacking unit will be described for some typical examples.

  FIG. 16 shows the case where there are five stacking units and two external stacking units as in this embodiment, and when various settings for banding are made for two denominations of 10,000 yen and 5,000 yen, It is a chart which shows where the printing type is accumulated. In this figure, the stacking units 111 to 115 are represented as A to E, the external stacking units 121 and 122 are represented as F and G, respectively, and the reject banknote stacking unit 106 is represented as H.

  According to this, the first case treats the old ticket as a normal ticket, and when the denomination is processed as a denomination for 1 million yen, the second case is usually used to collect old and new tickets. Treat as a voucher for 2 denominations and damages of 10,000 yen and 5,000 yen. When collecting correct and defeated tickets by old and new, the third case treats the old ticket as a regular ticket, In the case of collecting 10,000 yen regular tickets by old and new, the fourth case treats the old ticket as a regular ticket. The case is a case of 1 type denomination treatment that treats an old ticket as a rejection, the 6th case is a case of 2 type denomination treatment that treats an old ticket as a rejection, the 7th case is a loss ticket of a new ticket In the case of 1 denomination damage handling, the 8th case is 2 denomination damage handling that treats old tickets as new tickets. It is the case of.

  Other banknotes, bill types, and printing types are stacked on either the external stacking units 121 and 122 or the reject banknote stacking unit 106 depending on the setting conditions.

  As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, five stacking units are provided, which is one more than the number of denominations to be handled, so that various stacking contents in the four stacking units can be set. Collecting operations can be performed simultaneously for two denominations.

Also, even when the stacking unit of a certain denomination (or bill type) is full during the stacking in each of the four stacking units, the denomination of the denomination being transported to the preparatory fifth stacking unit Accumulation of banknotes can avoid the rejection of normal banknotes and stop of the apparatus, and can improve the efficiency of operation.
Also, by treating old tickets as non-performing tickets, it is possible to collect old tickets by bundling them only by specifying the damage classification, so it is possible to collect old tickets efficiently. It becomes.

  In the above embodiment, there are the current four denominations, of which the number of stacking parts is 5, taking into account the design change in each banknote of 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 1,000 yen, When the number of denominations increases in the future, efficient processing can be performed if the number of stacking units is one or more than the number of denominations.
