Description

  The present invention relates to a banknote handling machine, and more specifically, banknotes to be withdrawn when the banknotes stored in the banknote handling machine are fed one by one to a banknote dispensing unit. However, it is determined that all or a part of two or more banknotes are overlapped and transported, or that the short side is determined to be transported at an angle with the transporting direction of the banknotes. Even if it is collected in the banknote handling machine, the denomination and number of denominations of the collected banknote can be accurately grasped, and the banknotes in the banknote handling machine are managed as desired. It is related with the banknote processing machine which can do.

  There is known a banknote processing machine that feeds out banknotes stored in a banknote processing machine one by one to a banknote dispensing unit, and dispenses one banknote stored in a denomination in the banknote processing machine. There is also known a banknote processing machine that pays out the money to a banknote dispensing unit.

  Furthermore, a banknote processing machine is also known that stores received banknotes in denominations and uses the stored banknotes for withdrawal when the banknotes are withdrawn (for example, JP 2003-51046 publication etc.).

  In this way, in the banknote processing machine configured to feed the banknotes stored in the banknote processing machine one by one to the banknote dispensing unit and withdraw, the banknotes one by one When paying out to the dispensing unit, all or part of two or more banknotes may be overlapped and transported, or the short side may be transported at an angle with the transporting direction of the banknote.

One banknote to be dispensed is a banknote provided in the lower part of the second banknote storage section 30b and the third banknote storage box 30c, and stored in the third banknote storage box 30c. The banknotes provided in the lower part of the third banknote delivery section 33c and the fourth banknote storage box 30d, which are fed into the withdrawal banknote transport path 35, are stored in the fourth banknote storage box 30d. A banknote to be fed is provided with a fourth banknote feeding part 33 d that feeds the banknotes one by one into the withdrawal banknote transport path 35.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the input system of the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment includes a keyboard 75 that is operated by an operator and receives various instruction signals. The display system of the banknote depositing and dispensing machine is A display 77 is provided for displaying the bill counting results.

  The banknote handling machine according to this embodiment configured as described above deposits the banknotes inserted into the banknote deposit port 11 as follows, and the first banknote storage box 30a and the second banknote storage box. The banknotes stored in 30b, the third banknote storage box 30c, or the fourth banknote storage box 30d are withdrawn to the banknote withdrawal port 12.

  First, when the deposit signal is input to the keyboard 75 and the bill is inserted into the bill deposit slot 11 by the operator, the CPU 50 outputs a drive signal to the roller driving means 55.

  As a result, banknotes are fed one by one from the banknote deposit port 11 into the transport path 14 and sent to the banknote discriminating unit 15.

  In the banknote discrimination | determination part 15, while the optical data and magnetic data of a banknote are read by the sensor unit 15a, ID data of a banknote recorded on the IC chip in the inlet formed in the banknote by the RFID reader 15b, RFID data such as denomination data is read, and the read optical data, magnetic data, and RFID data of the bill are output to the CPU 50.

  The CPU 50 writes the RFID data input from the RFID reader 15b of the banknote discriminating unit 15 into the RAM 52, and based on the RFID data written in the RAM 52, whether or not the banknote is a genuine banknote currently in circulation and the banknote Tentatively determine the denomination.

  Here, RFID data such as banknote ID data and banknote denomination data is recorded in an IC chip in the inlet in a specific format by an organization having the authority to issue banknotes. Based on the RFID data input from the RFID reader 15b of the unit 15, it is possible to determine whether the banknote is a genuine banknote currently in circulation and to determine its denomination.

  As a result, when it is determined that the banknote detected by the banknote determination unit 15 is not a genuine banknote currently in circulation based on the RFID data, the CPU 50 writes the determination result in the RAM 52, When the banknote is determined to be a genuine banknote currently in circulation based on the RFID data, the CPU 50 tentatively determines the denomination of the banknote based on the RFID data, and further tentatively determines The reference optical data and the reference magnetic data of the denomination banknote corresponding to the denominated banknote denomination are read from the ROM 51.

  Next, the CPU 50 compares the banknote optical data and magnetic data input from the sensor unit 15a of the banknote discriminating unit 15 with the banknote reference optical data and reference magnetic data read from the ROM 51, and the banknote denomination and contamination level. It is determined whether or not banknotes are being sent one by one and whether or not the short sides of the banknotes are sent in parallel with the conveyance direction of the banknotes.

  That is, as a result of comparing the bill surface pattern data detected by the reflected light sensor of the optical sensor means with the provisionally determined denomination bill surface pattern data, the difference between the two is less than the first threshold value. When it is determined, the CPU 50 finally determines that the banknote detected by the banknote determination unit 15 is a banknote of a denomination that is provisionally determined based on RFID data.

  On the other hand, as a result of comparing the surface pattern data of the banknote detected by the reflected light sensor of the optical sensor means with the reference surface pattern data of the denomination of the denomination, the difference between the two is the first. When it is determined that the second threshold value that is larger than the threshold value is exceeded, the CPU 50 is a genuine banknote that is actually circulating, but the short side of the banknote is the banknote transport direction. It is determined that they are not sent in parallel.

  On the other hand, as a result of comparing the surface pattern data of the banknote detected by the reflected light sensor of the optical sensor means with the reference surface pattern data of the banknote of the tentatively determined denomination, the difference between the two is not less than the first threshold value. However, the CPU 50 determines that the banknote detected by the banknote discriminating unit 15 is a banknote of a denomination tentatively determined based on RFID data. However, it is determined that the banknote is a banknote having a defacement level exceeding a predetermined level.

  On the other hand, as a result of comparing the transmitted light data of the banknote detected by the transmitted light sensor of the optical sensor means with the reference transmitted light data of the tentatively determined denomination banknote, both substantially match. The banknotes are determined to be sent one by one, and if they do not substantially match, two or more banknotes are sent, all or part of them overlapping. It is determined that there is.

  As a result, when it is determined that the banknote detected by the banknote determination unit 15 is a counterfeit banknote or a foreign banknote, it is determined that all or a part of two or more banknotes are overlapped and sent, or the banknote is short. When it is determined that the side is sent at an angle with the bill conveyance direction, the CPU 50 writes the determination result in the RAM 52 and outputs a drive signal to the solenoid 56 that drives the gate member 18. The banknote is sent to the banknote return port 13 via the branch conveyance path 17 and returned to the operator.

  In this embodiment, the banknote discrimination | determination part 15 is provided with the RFID reader | leader 15b, ID data of the banknote recorded on the IC chip in the inlet formed in the banknote by the RFID reader | leader 15b, the money type data of a banknote, etc. Even when all or a part of two or more banknotes are overlapped and sent, or when the short side of the banknote is sent at an angle with the conveyance direction of the banknote The denomination of the banknote can be accurately discriminated, but when all or a part of two or more banknotes are overlapped and sent, the short side of the banknote makes an angle with the banknote transport direction. The bills may be jammed on the downstream side of the transport path 16 and therefore sent to the bill return port 13 and returned to the operator. It is configured to.

  On the other hand, the banknotes detected by the banknote discriminating unit 15 are genuine banknotes in circulation and are sent one by one so that their short sides are parallel to the banknote transport direction. When the CPU 50 determines that the level of the banknote exceeds the predetermined level, the CPU 50 writes the determination result in a memory area for storing data for managing the number of the banknotes in the RAM 52, and the banknote is denominated. The count result is written as count data of the damaged banknotes in a memory area for storing data for managing the number of the banknotes in the RAM 52, and a drive signal is output to the solenoid 56 that drives the gate member 18. Instead, a drive signal is output to the solenoid 57 that drives the gate member 23.

  Accordingly, the soiled banknotes are sent to the downstream side of the branch portion of the branch transport path 17 through the transport path 16 and reach the branch portion of the branch transport path 19, and selectively enter the branch transport path 19 by the gate member 23. It is guided, sent to the dirty bill temporary storage box 28 and temporarily stored.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the banknote is a genuine banknote currently in circulation with a contamination level equal to or lower than a predetermined level and is a banknote of the first denomination, the CPU 50 determines the determination result. The RAM 52 is written in a memory area for storing data for managing the number of banknotes of the first denomination, the banknotes are counted by denomination, and the counting result is counted for the banknotes of the first denomination. As data, data is written in a memory area for storing the number of banknotes of the first denomination in the RAM 52, and a drive signal is output to a solenoid 56 for driving the gate member 18 and a solenoid 57 for driving the gate member 23. Without driving, a drive signal is output to the solenoid 58 that drives the gate member 24.

  Therefore, the banknote of the first denomination passes through the branch part of the branch transport path 17 and the branch part of the branch transport path 19 and is sent further downstream in the transport path 16. , The gate member 24 selectively leads to the branch conveyance path 20 and is sent into the first banknote temporary storage box 27a to be temporarily stored.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the banknote is a genuine banknote currently in circulation with a contamination level equal to or lower than a predetermined level and is a banknote of the second denomination, the CPU 50 determines the determination result as the second banknote. Is written in a memory area for storing data for managing the number of banknotes of the second denomination in the RAM 52, and the banknotes are counted by denomination, and the counting result is stored in the RAM 52. Is written in a memory area for storing data for managing the number of banknotes of the second denomination, the solenoid 56 for driving the gate member 18, the solenoid 57 for driving the gate member 23, and the solenoid 58 for driving the gate member 24. The drive signal is output to the solenoid 59 that drives the gate member 25 without outputting the drive signal.

  Therefore, the banknote of the second denomination passes through the branch part of the branch transport path 17, the branch part of the branch transport path 19, and the branch part of the branch transport path 20, and is sent further downstream in the transport path 16. When the branch part of the branch transport path 21 is reached, the gate member 25 selectively guides the branch transport path 21 and sends it into the second banknote temporary storage box 27b to be temporarily stored.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the banknote is a genuine banknote that is currently circulating with a contamination level equal to or lower than a predetermined level and is a banknote of the third denomination, the CPU 50 determines the determination result. In addition, the count data of the third denomination banknote is written in the memory area for storing the number of banknotes of the third denomination in the RAM 52, and the banknote is counted by denomination and counted. The result is written in a memory area for storing data for managing the number of banknotes of the third denomination in the RAM 52, the solenoid 56 for driving the gate member 18, the solenoid 57 for driving the gate member 23, and the gate member 24 are driven. The drive signal is output to the solenoid 60 that drives the gate member 26 without outputting the drive signal to the solenoid 58 that drives the gate member 25. .

  Therefore, the banknote of the third denomination passes through the branch part of the branch transport path 17, the branch part of the branch transport path 19, the branch part of the branch transport path 20 and the branch part of the branch transport path 21, and the transport path 16 When the inside is further sent to the downstream side and reaches the branching portion of the branch conveyance path 22, it is selectively guided to the branch conveyance path 22 by the gate member 26, and is sent into the third banknote temporary storage box 27c. Stored temporarily.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the banknote is a genuine banknote currently in circulation with a contamination level equal to or lower than the predetermined level and is a banknote of the fourth denomination, the CPU 50 determines the determination result as the fourth banknote. Is written in a memory area for storing data for managing the number of banknotes of the fourth denomination in the RAM 52, and the banknotes are counted by denomination, and the counting result is stored in the RAM 52. Is written in a memory area for storing data for managing the number of banknotes of the fourth denomination, a solenoid 56 for driving the gate member 18, a solenoid 57 for driving the gate member 23, and a solenoid 58 for driving the gate member 24. No drive signal is output to either the solenoid 59 that drives the gate member 25 or the solenoid 60 that drives the gate member 26.

  As a result, the banknote of the fourth denomination is branched at the branching part of the branching transport path 17, the branching part of the branching transporting path 19, the branching part of the branching transporting path 20, the branching part of the branching transporting path 21, and the branching transport path 22. Passing through the part, being sent further downstream in the transport path 16, sent into the fourth banknote temporary storage box 27 d and temporarily stored.

  In this embodiment, as described above, based on the RFID data of the banknote, it is determined whether or not the banknote detected by the banknote determination unit 15 is a genuine banknote currently in circulation, and is actually in circulation. When it is determined that the bill is a genuine bill, based on the RFID data of the bill, the denomination of the bill is tentatively determined, and the reference optical data of the denomination corresponding to the tentatively determined denomination of the bill and The reference magnetic data is read from the ROM 51, and the bill optical data and magnetic data input from the sensor unit 15 a of the bill discriminating unit 15 are compared with the reference optical data and reference magnetic data of the bill read from the ROM 51. The type of the banknote is finally determined, the level of stain of the banknote, whether banknotes are being sent one by one, and the short side of the banknote is parallel to the banknote transport direction. Because it is configured to determine whether being sent to so that, it is possible to greatly reduce the time required for discrimination of paper money.

  Next, the CPU 50, based on the counting result written in the RAM 52, the damaged banknote temporary storage box 28, the first banknote temporary storage box 27a, the second banknote temporary storage box 27b, the third banknote temporary storage box 27c and the first banknote temporary storage box 27c. The total amount of banknotes sent into the fourth banknote temporary storage box 27 d is calculated and displayed on the display 77.

  The operator inputs a deposit stop signal to the keyboard 75 in order to stop the deposit process because the total amount of the bills displayed on the display 77 does not match the expected total amount of the bills. When the stop signal is input to the CPU 50, the CPU 50 stores data for managing the number of banknotes of the first denomination and a memory area for storing data for managing the number of corrupt banknotes in the RAM 52. Memory area, memory area for storing data for managing the number of banknotes of the second denomination, memory area for storing data for managing the number of banknotes of the third denomination, and fourth denomination The corresponding bill counting data written in the memory area for storing the data for managing the number of bills is erased, and the bill temporary storage unit 27 is locked. With unlock the locking member (not shown) that, on the display 77, the lock is released, displays that the paper money temporary retention unit 27 becomes ready extraction.

  Therefore, the operator pulls out the banknote temporary storage unit 27 from the banknote processor, and the damaged banknote temporary storage box 28, the first banknote temporary storage box 27a, the second banknote temporary storage box 27b, and the third banknote temporary storage box 27c. And the banknote currently stored in the 4th banknote temporary storage box 27d can be collect | recovered.

  On the other hand, when the operator confirms the total amount of banknotes displayed on the display 77, inputs a deposit instruction signal to the keyboard 75, and the deposit instruction signal is input to the CPU 50, the CPU 50 A solenoid 65 that drives a shutter that constitutes the bottom of the bill temporary storage box 28, a solenoid 66 that drives a shutter that constitutes the bottom of the first bill temporary storage box 27a, and a bottom of the second bill temporary storage box 27b. Drive signals are sent to a solenoid 67 that drives the shutter, a solenoid 68 that drives the shutter that forms the bottom of the third banknote temporary storage box 27c, and a solenoid 69 that drives the shutter that forms the bottom of the fourth banknote temporary storage box 27d. Output.

  As a result, the dirty banknote temporarily stored in the dirty banknote temporary storage box 28 falls into the dirty banknote storage box 31 and is stored in the dirty banknote storage box 31, and the first banknote temporary The banknote of the 1st denomination temporarily stored in the storage box 27a falls in the 1st banknote storage box 30a, is accommodated in the 1st banknote storage box 30a, and is 2nd banknote. The banknote of the second denomination temporarily stored in the temporary storage box 27b falls into the second banknote storage box 30b and is stored in the second banknote storage box 30b. At the same time, the banknote of the third denomination temporarily stored in the third banknote temporary storage box 27c falls into the third banknote storage box 30c and enters the third banknote storage box 30c. The banknotes of the fourth denomination stored and temporarily stored in the fourth banknote temporary storage box 27d fall into the fourth banknote storage box 30d and enter the fourth banknote storage box 30d. Stored.

  Here, at the time of banknote deposit processing, the CPU 50 does not output drive signals to the solenoid means 64a, the solenoid means 64b, the solenoid means 64c, and the solenoid means 64d, and thus a pair of the banknote storage boxes 30a provided with the pair. The locking claws 32a, 32a, the pair of locking claws 32b, 32b provided in the second banknote storage box 30b, the pair of locking claws 32c, 32c provided in the third banknote storage box 30c, and the fourth Since the pair of latching claws 32d and 32d provided in the banknote storage box 30d are respectively held in the retracted position, the first denomination banknote sent into the first banknote storage box 30a is The second denomination banknotes accumulated on the bottom plate of one banknote storage box 30a and sent into the second banknote storage box 30b are stored in the second banknote storage box 30b. It is integrated in the box 30b of the bottom plate. Similarly, the banknotes of the third denomination sent into the third banknote storage box 30c are accumulated on the bottom plate of the third banknote storage box 30c and sent into the fourth banknote storage box 30d. The fourth denomination banknote is accumulated on the bottom plate of the fourth banknote storage box 30d.

  In this way, the banknote deposit process is completed.

  When a banknote is withdrawn from the banknote handling machine, the operator inputs withdrawal data and a withdrawal signal for specifying the number of banknotes for each denomination to be withdrawn into the keyboard 75.

  The withdrawal data and withdrawal signal input by the operator are output to the CPU 50, and the CPU 50 should withdraw withdrawal data specifying the number of banknotes for each denomination to be withdrawn from the RAM 52. Write to a memory area that stores data for managing banknotes.

  Next, the CPU 50 according to the withdrawal data written in the memory area for storing the data for managing the banknotes to be withdrawn in the RAM 52, the first banknote feeding unit 33a provided at the lower part of the first banknote storage box 30a. The second banknote payout part 33b provided at the lower part of the second banknote storage box 30b, the third banknote payout part 33c provided at the lower part of the third banknote storage box 30c, and the fourth banknote storage box 30d. The fourth bill feeding portion 33d provided in the lower part of the bill is selectively driven.

  That is, when the banknote of the first denomination is to be withdrawn, the CPU 50 outputs a drive signal to the first banknote feeding part 33a and is stored in the first banknote storage box 30a. When the banknotes of the denominations are fed out one by one to the withdrawal banknote transport path 35 and the banknotes of the second denomination are to be withdrawn, the CPU 50 sends a drive signal to the second banknote feeding part 33b. Then, the banknotes of the second denomination stored in the second banknote storage box 30b are fed out one by one to the withdrawal banknote transport path 35. On the other hand, when the banknote of the third denomination should be withdrawn, the CPU 50 outputs a drive signal to the third banknote feeding part 33c and is stored in the third banknote storage box 30c. When the banknotes of the denominations are fed one by one to the withdrawal banknote transport path 35 and the banknotes of the fourth denomination are to be withdrawn, the CPU 50 sends a drive signal to the fourth banknote feeding part 33d. Then, the banknotes of the fourth denomination stored in the fourth banknote storage box 30d are fed out one by one to the withdrawal banknote transport path 35.

  The bills fed out to the withdrawal bill conveyance path 35 are sent to the withdrawal bill discriminating unit 40.

  When a bill to be withdrawn is sent to the withdrawal bill discriminating unit 40, the optical data and magnetic data of the bill are read by the sensor unit 40a, and the IC chip in the inlet formed on the bill by the RFID reader 40b. RFID data such as banknote ID data and banknote denomination data is read, and the read banknote optical data, magnetic data, and RFID data are output to the CPU 50.

  CPU50 discriminate | determines whether a banknote is the genuine banknote currently distribute | circulating based on the optical data, magnetic data, and RFID data of the banknote input from the withdrawal banknote discrimination | determination part 40, and a banknote actually distribute | circulates. When it is determined that the banknote is a genuine banknote, the denomination is determined, and whether or not banknotes are being sent one by one and the short side of the banknotes are sent in parallel to the banknote transport direction. It is determined whether or not.

  Here, based on the bill optical data, magnetic data, and RFID data input from the bill discriminating unit 15, only the bills that are discriminated to be genuinely circulating bills are the first bill storage box 30a and the second bill storage box 30a. The bill storage box 30b, the third bill storage box 30c, and the fourth bill storage box 30d are sent to and stored in the first bill storage box 30a, the second bill storage box 30b, and the third bill storage. The first denomination banknote, the second denomination banknote, the third denomination banknote, and the fourth denomination banknote are stored in the box 30c and the fourth banknote storage box 30d, respectively. Therefore, it is fed out from the first banknote storage box 30a, the second banknote storage box 30b, the third banknote storage box 30c, and the fourth banknote storage box 30d. Thus, all the banknotes sent to the withdrawal banknote discriminating section 40 should be genuine banknotes that are currently in circulation, and the banknotes are the first banknote storage box 30a and the second banknote storage box 30b. From the bill storage box 30c and the fourth bill storage box 30d, it is possible to know the denomination of the bill depending on which bill storage box is fed out. It is not always necessary for the CPU 50 to determine whether the banknote to be withdrawn is a genuine banknote currently in circulation based on the optical data, magnetic data and RFID data of the banknote that has been issued. Although it is not always necessary to discriminate the denomination of the banknote to be deducted, in this embodiment, the denomination and number of banknotes withdrawn from the banknote handling machine are also included. In order to accurately manage the number of denominations of banknotes stored in the banknote handling machine, the CPU 50 is based on the optical data, magnetic data and RFID data of the banknotes input from the withdrawal banknote discrimination unit 40. Whether or not the banknote to be withdrawn is a genuine banknote currently in circulation and the denomination of the banknote to be withdrawn are determined.

  The CPU 50 writes the RFID data input from the RFID reader 40b of the withdrawal bill discriminating unit 40 in the RAM 52, and based on the RFID data written in the RAM 52, whether or not the bill is a genuine bill currently in circulation. And the denomination of the banknote is tentatively determined.

  As a result, when it is determined that the banknote detected by the withdrawal banknote discriminating unit 40 is not a genuine banknote currently in circulation based on the RFID data, the CPU 50 writes the discrimination result in the RAM 52, and On the other hand, when it is determined that the banknote is a genuine banknote currently in circulation based on the RFID data, the CPU 50 tentatively determines the denomination of the banknote based on the RFID data. The reference optical data and the reference magnetic data of the banknote of the denomination corresponding to the denomination of the banknote determined in the above are read from the ROM 51.

  Next, the CPU 50 compares the bill optical data and magnetic data input from the sensor unit 40a of the withdrawal bill discriminating unit 40 with the bill reference optical data and reference magnetic data read from the ROM 51, and determines the bill denomination. At the same time, it is determined whether or not banknotes are being sent one by one, and whether or not the banknotes are being sent so that their short sides are parallel to the banknote transport direction.

  That is, as a result of comparing the bill surface pattern data detected by the reflected light sensor of the optical sensor means with the provisionally determined denomination bill surface pattern data, the difference between the two is less than the first threshold value. When it is determined, the CPU 50 finally determines that the banknote detected by the withdrawal banknote determination unit 40 is a banknote of a denomination that is provisionally determined based on the RFID data.

  On the other hand, as a result of comparing the surface pattern data of the banknote detected by the reflected light sensor of the optical sensor means with the reference surface pattern data of the denomination of the denomination, the difference between the two is the first. When it is determined that the second threshold value that is larger than the threshold value is exceeded, the CPU 50 is a genuine banknote that is actually circulating, but the short side of the banknote is the banknote transport direction. It is determined that they are not sent in parallel.

  Here, the banknote is a genuine banknote currently in circulation, but when the contamination level exceeds a predetermined level, the surface pattern data of the banknote detected by the reflected light sensor of the optical sensor means, and provisional The difference between the denomination and the reference surface pattern data of the denominated banknote exceeds the first threshold value and is less than the second threshold value. Since the bill is stored in the bill storage box 31, the difference between the surface pattern data of the bill detected by the reflected light sensor of the optical sensor means and the reference surface pattern data of the bill of the denomination determined temporarily is the first. Never exceed the second threshold and less than the second threshold.

  On the other hand, as a result of comparing the transmitted light data of the banknote detected by the transmitted light sensor of the optical sensor means with the reference transmitted light data of the tentatively determined denomination banknote, both substantially match. The banknotes are determined to be sent one by one, and if they do not substantially match, two or more banknotes are sent, all or part of them overlapping. It is determined that there is.

  As a result of the discrimination, when the banknotes detected by the withdrawal banknote discriminating unit 40 are genuine banknotes that are actually circulating, they are sent one by one so that their short sides are parallel to the banknote transport direction. When it is determined, the CPU 50 writes in the RAM 52 that one banknote of the determined denomination has been dispensed, and writes it in the memory area of the RAM 52 that stores data for managing the number of banknotes of that denomination. After the counted data of the banknote is reduced by one sheet, the banknote is passed through the withdrawal banknote transport path 35, the gate member 42, the withdrawal banknote transport path 35, the gate member 46, and the withdrawal banknote transport path 35. Then, the money is sent to the banknote withdrawal port 12 and withdrawn.

  On the other hand, when the banknote detected by the withdrawal banknote determination unit 40 is determined to be a forged banknote or a foreign banknote, the CPU 50 stores data for managing the number of banknotes collected in the banknote collection box 43 of the RAM 52. In the memory area, counterfeit banknotes or foreign banknotes are detected, count data indicating that one counterfeit banknote or foreign banknote has been collected is written, and a drive signal is output to the solenoid 61 that drives the gate member 42, The withdrawal banknote conveyance path 35 is communicated with the branch conveyance path 41, and the banknote determined to be a forged banknote or a foreign banknote is guided to the banknote collection box 43 and collected in the banknote collection box 43.

  On the other hand, when CPU50 discriminate | determines that all or one part of two or more banknotes have overlapped and sent, or when the short side of a banknote makes an angle with the conveyance direction of a banknote. If it is determined, if these banknotes are sent to the banknote dispensing slot 12, the banknotes may cause jamming in the banknote delivery path 35, so a drive signal is sent to the solenoid 61 that drives the gate member 42. Then, the withdrawal bill conveyance path 35 is communicated with the branch conveyance path 41, and these bills are guided to the bill collection box 43 and collected in the bill collection box 43.

  At this time, the CPU 50 determines the denomination and the number of banknotes collected in the banknote collection box 43 based on the RFID data of the banknotes read by the RFID reader 40b, and collects them in the banknote collection box 43 of the RAM 52. The banknote count data written in the memory area for storing the data for managing the number of banknotes is rewritten, and also written in the memory area of the RAM 52 for storing data for managing the number of banknotes of the denomination. Rewrite banknote count data.

  Here, the withdrawal bill discriminating unit 40 emits light, a reflected light sensor that detects light reflected from the bill and emitted from the light source, and transmission that detects light transmitted from the light source and transmitted through the bill. In a conventional banknote processing machine that only includes an optical sensor means including an optical sensor and a magnetic sensor for detecting the magnetic properties of banknotes, all or part of two or more banknotes overlap. When the paper is being sent or when the short side of the banknote is sent at an angle with the banknote transport direction, it is impossible to accurately discriminate those denominations, and two or more When all or some of the banknotes are sent in an overlapping manner, it is impossible to accurately determine how many banknotes are being sent in an overlapping manner. Banknotes gold The other number of sheets cannot be grasped with high accuracy. Therefore, the other banknotes are removed from the first banknote storage box 30a, the second banknote storage box 30b, the third banknote storage box 30c, and the fourth banknote storage box 30d. Since it is impossible to accurately grasp the number of denominations of banknotes fed out for money, the first banknote storage box 30a, the second banknote storage box 30b, the third banknote storage box 30c, and the It was impossible to accurately manage the number of denominations of banknotes stored in the fourth banknote storage box 30d.

  However, in this embodiment, the withdrawal banknote discriminating unit 40 of the banknote handling machine has a light source that emits light toward the banknote, a reflected light sensor that detects light emitted from the light source and reflected by the banknote, In addition to an optical sensor means including a transmitted light sensor for detecting light emitted from a light source and transmitted through a bill, and an sensor unit 40a having a magnetic sensor for detecting the magnetic property of the bill, an inlet formed on the bill Since it has an RFID reader 40b that reads RFID data such as banknote ID data and banknote denomination data recorded on the IC chip inside, all or part of two or more banknotes are overlapped and sent. Even when the short side of the banknote is being sent at an angle with the conveyance direction of the banknote, the CPU 50 uses the RFID reader 40b. Based on the RFID data of the banknotes picked up, the denominations of those banknotes can be accurately determined, and when all or part of two or more banknotes are overlapped and sent, The CPU 50 can accurately determine how many banknotes are sent in an overlapping manner based on the RFID data of the banknotes read by the RFID reader 40b, and therefore, the first banknote storage box 30a and the second banknote storage box 30a. From the banknote storage box 30b, the third banknote storage box 30c, and the fourth banknote storage box 30d, the first banknote storage box 30a is obtained with high accuracy by grasping the number of denominations of banknotes fed out for withdrawal. Of the banknotes stored in the second banknote storage box 30b, the third banknote storage box 30c and the fourth banknote storage box 30d. The type number can be accurately managed, it is possible to greatly improve the banknote management functions of the bill processing machine.

  Thus, the banknotes are selectively paid out and the banknotes are dispensed from the first banknote storage box 30a, the second banknote storage box 30b, the third banknote storage box 30c, and the fourth banknote storage box 30d. Each time, the CPU 50 rewrites the banknote count data written in the memory area of the RAM 52 that stores data for managing the number of banknotes of the corresponding denomination, and the banknote is genuinely distributed. When it is determined that the banknotes are sent one by one so that their short sides are parallel to the banknote transport direction, the fact that one banknote of that denomination has been dispensed is written in the RAM 52, On the other hand, when it is determined that the banknote should be collected in the banknote collection box 43, a memo storing data for managing the number of banknotes collected in the banknote collection box 43 of the RAM 52. It rewrites the count data of the bill was written in the area.

  Thus, when the number data of the money type of the banknotes withdrawn written in the RAM 52 becomes equal to the number of banknotes of each denomination in the withdrawal data written in the RAM 52, the banknote withdrawal process is performed. Is completed.

  The banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment further includes, as needed, the number of denominations of banknotes stored in the banknote handling machine, that is, the first banknote storage box 30a, the second banknote storage box 30b, and the third banknote. The banknote storage box 30c, the fourth banknote storage box 30d, and the banknote collection box 43 are configured to execute a stored banknote confirmation process for confirming the number of denominations of banknotes stored in the banknote storage box 30d.

  That is, when the stored banknote confirmation process for confirming the number of banknotes stored in the first banknote storage box 30a is executed, first, a first drive signal is output from the CPU 50 to the motor 70a. The pair of locking claws 32a, 32a provided in the bill storage box 30a is moved to the first position at the top of the first bill storage box 30a. Here, the first position is that the maximum number of first denomination banknotes that can be temporarily stored in the first banknote temporary storage box 27a is held on the pair of locking claws 32a and 32a. Sometimes, it is set so that a space is secured between the top banknote and the top of the first banknote storage box 30a.

  Next, a driving signal is output from the CPU 50 to the solenoid means 64a, and the pair of locking claws 32a and 32a provided in the first banknote storage box 30a are swung around the fulcrum to the protruding position.

  Thereafter, a driving signal is output from the CPU 50 to the solenoid 62 that drives the gate member 46, and the gate member 46 is positioned at a position where the withdrawal bill conveyance path 35 and the branch conveyance path 45 communicate with each other. As the banknotes are fed out from the box 30a and pass through the withdrawal banknote discriminating section 40, the CPU 50 discriminates the denomination of the banknotes, counts the number of each denomination, and obtains the discrimination result and the counting result. It is written in the RAM 52, and temporarily in the first banknote temporary storage box 27a via the withdrawal banknote transport path 35, the gate member 46, the branch transport path 45, the transport path 16, the gate member 24 and the branch transport path 20. Stored.

  Thus, banknotes of the first denomination are successively fed out from the first banknote storage box 30a, sent into the first banknote temporary storage box 27a, temporarily stored, and the first banknote. When the number of banknotes of the first denomination temporarily stored in the temporary storage box 27a reaches a predetermined number, the CPU 50 outputs a drive signal to the solenoid 66 to store the first banknote temporary storage box 27a. The shutter which comprises a bottom part is opened, the banknote of the 1st denomination temporarily stored in the 1st banknote temporary storage box 27a is dropped in the 1st banknote storage box 30a, and is sent out.

  The banknote of the first denomination sent out into the first banknote storage box 30a is held on the pair of locking claws 32a and 32a.

  Thus, when a predetermined number of banknotes of the first denomination are held on the pair of locking claws 32a and 32a provided in the first banknote storage box 30a, the CPU 50 causes the motor 70a to send the second banknote. A drive signal is output, and the pair of locking claws 32a and 32a are lowered by a distance equal to the thickness of a predetermined number of first denomination banknotes.

  Similarly, banknotes of the first denomination are fed out from the first banknote storage box 30a one after another, and a withdrawal banknote transport path 35, a withdrawal banknote discrimination unit 40, a withdrawal banknote transport path 35, and a gate member. 46, the branch conveyance path 45, the conveyance path 16, the gate member 24, and the branch conveyance path 20 are sent into the first banknote temporary storage box 27a, temporarily stored, and the first banknote temporary storage box 27a. When the number of banknotes of the first denomination temporarily stored inside reaches a predetermined number, the banknotes of the first denomination temporarily stored in the first banknote temporary storage box 27a are It is sent out into one banknote storage box 30a, held on the pair of latching claws 32a, 32a, and repeatedly moved down the pair of latching claws 32a, 32a, and stored in the first banknote storage box 30a. The first denomination banknote Then, it is paid out from the first banknote storage box 30a, and the withdrawal banknote transport path 35, the withdrawal banknote discriminating section 40, the withdrawal banknote transport path 35, the gate member 46, the branch transport path 45, the transport path 16, and the gate member 24. Storage that checks the number of banknotes stored in the first banknote storage box 30a when sent back into the first banknote storage box 30a via the branch conveyance path 20 and the first banknote temporary storage box 27a. The bill confirmation process ends.

  The stored banknote checking process for checking the number of banknotes stored in each of the second banknote storage box 30b, the third banknote storage box 30c, and the fourth banknote storage box 30d can be executed in the same manner. it can.

  Further, the CPU 50 activates the RFID reader 43a provided in the banknote collection box 43, reads the RFID data of the banknotes collected in the banknote collection box 43, and reads the banknotes input from the RFID reader 43a. Based on the RFID data, the number of denominations of banknotes collected in the banknote collection box 43 is calculated, and the banknotes collected in the banknote collection box 43 of the RAM 52 are thus calculated. The number of denominations of banknotes stored in the banknote collection box 43 is confirmed by collating with data written in a memory area for storing data for managing the number of banknotes.

  Thus, the stored banknote confirmation process is completed.

  When the CPU 50 receives the RFID data relating to the banknotes, the RFID data relating to the banding process, and the RFID data relating to each banknote from the data reading unit 105, the CPU 50 stores the RFID data relating to the banknotes, the RFID data relating to the banding process and the RFID data relating to each banknote. The data for managing the second banknote bundling mechanism 3 is written in the memory area.

  Next, based on the RFID data input from the data reading unit 105, the CPU 50 identifies the denominations of banknotes constituting the unit banknote bundle by the operator, and manages the second banknote bundling mechanism of the RAM 52. It is determined whether or not it matches the denomination of the banknote bundle to be generated written in the memory area for storing data.

  As a result, the denomination of the banknote constituting the unit banknote bundle determined based on the RFID data input from the data reading unit 105 is specified by the operator, and the second banknote bundling mechanism of the RAM 52 is managed. When the denomination of the banknote bundle to be generated written in the memory area for storing the data does not match, the CPU 50 informs the display 77 that a unit banknote bundle that should not be subjected to the banding process has been detected. While displaying, a reverse drive signal is output to the roller drive means 55, the conveyance roller provided in the deposit banknote conveyance path 102 and the banknote bundle conveyance path 103 is rotated in the reverse direction, and the unit banknote bundle is converted into a banknote. It is sent out to the bundle deposit port 100.

  At the same time, the CPU 50 matches the RFID data of each banknote constituting the unit banknote bundle input from the data reading unit 105 with the RFID data related to the banknote written on the IC chip in the inlet formed on the binding tape T1. In addition to determining whether or not it has been done, the central management server 54 is accessed to determine whether or not the data related to the bundling process input from the data reading means 105 is stored in the central management server 54.

  As a result, when it is determined that the RFID data of each banknote constituting the banknote bundle does not match the RFID data related to the banknote written on the IC chip in the inlet formed on the binding tape T1, Since there is a high possibility that a part of the banknotes is extracted from the unit banknote bundle, or a part of the banknotes constituting the unit banknote bundle is replaced with another banknote, the CPU 50 displays a banding process on the display 77. Is displayed and a reverse drive signal is output to the roller driving means 55, and the transport rollers provided in the deposited banknote bundle transport path 102 and the banknote bundle transport path 103 are displayed. By rotating in the reverse direction, the unit banknote bundle is sent out to the banknote bundle deposit port 100.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the data related to the bundling process input from the data reading unit 105 is not stored in the central management server 54, the unit banknote bundle is generated by a person who is not authorized to generate the banknote bundle. Since there is a high possibility, the CPU 50 displays on the display 77 that the unit banknote bundle that should not be subjected to the bundling process has been detected, and outputs a reverse drive signal to the roller driving means 55 to receive the deposited banknote bundle conveyance path. The conveyance roller provided in 102 and the banknote bundle conveyance path 103 is rotated in the reverse direction, and the unit banknote bundle is sent out to the banknote bundle deposit port 100.

  On the other hand, the denomination of the banknote constituting the unit banknote bundle determined based on the RFID data input from the data reading unit 105 is specified by the operator, and the second banknote bundling mechanism of the RAM 52 is managed.

  In this case, the unit banknote bundle sent to the data reading unit 105 is the first banknote storage box 90a of the first banknote bundling mechanism 2 according to the denomination of the banknote bundle specified by the operator. Units that are fed out from the banknote bundle storage box 90b, the third banknote bundle storage box 90c, or the fourth banknote bundle storage box 90d, and thus are determined based on the RFID data input from the data reading unit 105. The denominations of the banknotes constituting the banknote bundle are specified by the operator, and the denominations of the banknote bundles to be generated are written in the memory area for storing the data for managing the second banknote bundling mechanism of the RAM 52. The unit banknote bundle sent to the data reading unit 105 is transferred from the banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism 1 by the first banknote bundling mechanism 2. Since it is generated by superimposing the genuine banknotes that are currently distributed, the RFID data of each banknote constituting the unit banknote bundle and the IC chip in the inlet formed on the binding tape T1 Data relating to the banding process input from the data reading means 105 is stored in the central management server 54 so that the RFID data related to the written banknote matches. Accordingly, the unit banknote bundle is sent from the data reading unit 105 to the banknote bundle stacking means 111 of the second banknote bundling unit 110 and accumulated.

  Thus, based on the second banknote bundle withdrawal data among the first banknote bundle storage box 90a, the second banknote bundle storage box 90b, the third banknote bundle storage box 90c, and the fourth banknote bundle storage box 90d. From the banknote bundle storage box determined in this way, unit banknote bundles are successively fed into the banknote bundle transport path 92, and the banknotes of the second banknote bundling unit 110 are connected via the connection transport path 96 and the data reading unit 105. The banknote bundle to be generated in the second banknote bundle withdrawal data written in the RAM 52 based on the RFID data output from the data reading unit 105 as a result of being sent and accumulated in the bundle stacking means 111. It is determined that the number of unit banknote bundles equal to the number of unit banknote bundles included in is sent to the banknote bundle stacking means 111 of the second banknote bundling unit 110 and accumulated. In this case, the CPU 50 outputs a drive signal to the banknote bundle sending means 130 of the second banknote bundling unit 110, so that the number of unit banknote bundles equal to the second predetermined number accumulated in the banknote bundle stacking means 111 is obtained. The motor 131 moves between the pair of clamping members (not shown) of the banknote bundle holding means 112 and moves the pair of clamping members of the banknote bundle holding means 112 of the second banknote bundling unit 110 relatively. A pair of holding members of the banknote bundle holding means 112 outputs a drive signal to hold a banknote bundle formed by superimposing a number of unit banknote bundles equal to the second predetermined number.

  Next, the CPU 50 outputs a drive signal to the motor 132 that drives the binding tape supply member 113 of the second banknote bundling unit 110 to drive the binding tape supply member 113, and the binding tape T <b> 2 is transferred to the banknote bundle holding means 112. It is made to pay out toward the unit banknote bundle of the number equal to the 2nd predetermined number clamped by the pair of clamping members.

  Further, the CPU 50 reads the RFID data relating to the banknotes and the RFID data relating to the bundling process written in the RAM 52, and outputs them together with the drive signal to the RFID writer driving means 135 that drives the RFID writer 115 of the second banknote bundling unit 110. .

  As a result, the binding tape wound around each unit banknote bundle on the IC chip in the inlet formed on the binding tape T2 fed out by the binding tape supply member 113 by the RFID writer 115 of the second banknote bundling unit 110.

Output. In this way, data relating to the bundling process written by the second banknote bundling mechanism 3 of the banknote handling machine is stored in the central management server 54 on the binding tape T2 wound around the banknote bundle.

  The CPU 50 further outputs a drive signal to the motor 132 that drives the binding tape supply member 113 of the second banknote bundling unit 110 to drive the binding tape supply member 113, so that the binding tape T2 is transferred to the banknote bundle holding means. 112 is supplied to the banknote bundle sandwiched by the pair of sandwiching members 112, and then outputs a drive signal to the winding motor 133 that drives the winding means 114 of the second banknote bundling unit 110, and the winding means 114 holds the banknote. A binding tape T2 is wound around a substantially central portion of the banknote bundle sandwiched between the pair of sandwiching members of the means 112, and a banknote including a unit banknote bundle of a number equal to the second predetermined number, for example, 10 unit banknote bundles. Generate a bunch.

  As described above, when the number of unit banknote bundles equal to the second predetermined number, for example, the banknote bundle including 10 unit banknote bundles is generated, the CPU 50 specifies the number of generated banknote bundles. The second banknote bundle generation data is written into the RAM 52.

  In this way, a bundle of unit banknotes with a number of banknotes equal to the first predetermined number, for example, 100 banknotes, is bundled by a number equal to the second predetermined number, for example, 10 bundles. The bundle of banknotes attached and generated is withdrawn to the banknote bundle dispensing port 101 via the banknote bundle conveyance path 117.

  The same processing is repeated, and the number of generated banknote bundles specified by the second banknote bundle generation data written in the RAM 52 should be generated in the second banknote bundle data written in the RAM 52. If it becomes equal to the number of banknote bundles, CPU50 will complete | finish the production | generation process of the banknote bundle containing the number of unit banknote bundles equal to a 2nd predetermined number.

  The banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment further includes a second predetermined number of banknotes equal to the first predetermined number, for example, 100 banknotes, and a unit banknote bundle inserted into the banknote bundle deposit port 100. The number of unit banknote bundles equal to the number, for example, 10 unit banknote bundles are overlapped and banded, and a banknote bundle including a number of unit banknote bundles equal to the second predetermined number can be generated. The number of banknotes included in the banknote bundle deposit slot 100 is overlapped by a number equal to the second predetermined number, banded, and equal to the second predetermined number. When generating a banknote bundle including a plurality of unit banknote bundles, the operator stacks a number of unit banknote bundles equal to the second predetermined number, denominations of banknote bundles to be generated, and banknotes to be generated. While specifying the number of unit banknote bundles included in the bundle, A second bill bundle data specifying the number of bill bundle to form a second bundle of bills generated signal is input to the keyboard 75. At the same time, the operator inputs data relating to the bundling process such as the name of the financial institution, the branch name, the ID data of the banknote handling machine, and the name of the operator to the keyboard 75.

  The second banknote bundle data and the data relating to the banding process input by the operator and the second banknote bundle generation signal are output to the CPU 50, the second banknote bundle data and the data relating to the banding process input by the operator, and the second data When receiving the banknote bundle generation signal, the CPU 50 writes the second banknote bundle data input by the operator and the data related to the banding process into a memory area for storing data for managing the second banknote banding mechanism of the RAM 52. Then, a drive signal is output to the roller driving means 55c to drive a transport roller (not shown) provided in the deposited banknote bundle transport path 102, the banknote bundle transport path 103, and the banknote bundle transport path 117.

  Subsequently, the unit banknote bundle which comprises the banknote bundle which should be produced | generated newly is thrown into the banknote bundle deposit port 100 by the operator.

  The unit banknote bundle inserted into the banknote bundle deposit port 100 is sent to the data reading unit 105 via the deposit banknote bundle conveyance path 102 and the banknote bundle conveyance path 103, and by an RFID reader 105 a provided in the data reading unit 105. RFID data relating to banknotes constituting unit banknote bundles such as ID data and denomination data of banknotes included in unit banknote bundles written on an IC chip in an inlet formed on a binding tape wound around unit banknote bundles In addition, the number of banknotes subjected to the bundling process, the date and time when the bundling process was performed, the name of the financial institution that performed the bundling process, and the RFID data related to the bundling process such as the performer of the bundling process are read, and the unit bill is read by the RFID reader 105b. Paper written on the IC chip in the inlet formed on the banknotes included in the bundle RFID data of each banknote such as ID data, denomination data, etc., RFID data related to banknotes read by the RFID reader 105a, RFID data related to banding processing, and RFID data of each banknote read by the RFID reader 105b are: The data is output from the data reading unit 105 to the CPU 50.

  When the CPU 50 receives the RFID data relating to the banknotes, the RFID data relating to the banding process, and the RFID data relating to each banknote from the data reading unit 105, the CPU 50 stores the RFID data relating to the banknotes, the RFID data relating to the banding process and the RFID data relating to each banknote. The data for managing the second banknote bundling mechanism 3 is written in the memory area.

  Next, based on the RFID data input from the data reading unit 105, the CPU 50 identifies the denominations of banknotes constituting the unit banknote bundle by the operator, and manages the second banknote bundling mechanism of the RAM 52. It is determined whether or not it matches the denomination of the banknote bundle to be generated written in the memory area for storing data.

  As a result, the denomination of the banknote constituting the unit banknote bundle determined based on the RFID data input from the data reading unit 105 is specified by the operator, and the second banknote bundling mechanism of the RAM 52 is managed. When the denomination of the banknote bundle to be generated written in the memory area for storing the data is not matched, the unit banknote bundle including banknotes of different denominations may be mixed into the generated banknote bundle. Therefore, the CPU 50 displays on the display 77 that the unit banknote bundle that should not be subjected to the bundling process has been detected, and outputs a reverse drive signal to the roller driving means 55 so that the deposited banknote bundle conveyance path 102 and The conveyance roller provided in the banknote bundle conveyance path 103 is rotated in the reverse direction to send the unit banknote bundle to the banknote bundle deposit port 100.
