  The banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment configured as described above sorts out banknotes of denominations designated by the operator from among the banknotes inserted into the banknote deposit port 2 as follows. Only the number of sheets, for example, 100 sheets, are stacked, and the binding tape T is wound around the substantially central portion of the stacked banknotes, and the stacked banknotes are subjected to a banding process, and a predetermined number of banknotes, for example, 100 banknotes, are collected. Generate a bundle of banknotes.

  First, a banknote is set in the banknote deposit port 2 by an operator.

  Then, the banknote which specifies the banknote generation signal which should produce | generate a banknote bundle, the number of banknotes which should be included in a banknote bundle, and the number of banknote bundles which should be produced | generated by the operator with the banknote bundle production | generation signal which instruct | indicates the production | generation of a banknote bundle. Data relating to the bundling process such as bundle data, financial institution name, branch name, banknote processing machine ID data, and operator name is input to the keyboard 80.

  The banknote bundle generation signal input by the operator is output to the CPU 50 together with the banknote bundle data and the data related to the banding process. When the banknote bundle generation signal, the banknote bundle data and the data related to the banding process input by the operator are received, the CPU 50 The banknote bundle data and the data relating to the banding process input by the operator are written in the memory area for storing the data on the banknote bundle to be generated in the RAM 52, and the feeding roller driving means 60, the transport roller driving means 61 and the banknote stacking unit 20 are stored.

  As a result, the banknotes set in the banknote deposit slot 2 are fed one by one into the transport path 9 by the feed roller and sent to the banknote discriminating unit 10.

  In the bill discriminating unit 10, the optical data and magnetic data of the bill are read by the sensor unit 10a, and the ID data of the bill recorded on the IC chip in the inlet formed integrally with the bill by the RFID reader 10b. RFID data such as banknote denomination data is read, and the read banknote optical data, magnetic data, and RFID data are output to the CPU 50.

  The CPU 50 writes the RFID data input from the RFID reader 10b of the banknote discriminating unit 10 in a memory area for storing data on the banknotes deposited in the RAM 52, and the banknotes are based on the RFID data written in the RAM 52. It is tentatively discriminated whether the bill is a genuine bill currently in circulation and the denomination of the bill.

  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 10b of the unit 10, it is possible to determine whether the banknote is a genuine banknote currently in circulation and to determine the denomination of the banknote.

  As a result, when it is determined that the banknote detected by the banknote discriminating unit 10 is not a genuine banknote currently in circulation based on the RFID data of the banknote, the CPU 50 displays the discrimination result in the banknote deposited in the RAM 52. On the other hand, when it is determined that the banknote is a genuine banknote currently in circulation based on the RFID data of the banknote, the CPU 50 is based on the RFID data of the banknote. The banknote denomination is provisionally determined, and the reference transmitted light data, the surface reference optical data and the reference magnetic data of the banknote of the denomination corresponding to the provisionally determined banknote denomination are read from the ROM 51.

  Next, the CPU 50 compares the transmitted light data of the bill detected by the transmitted light sensor of the optical sensor means with the reference transmitted light data of the tentatively determined denomination, and first, the bills are sent one by one. It is determined whether or not.

  As a result, when it is determined that the transmitted light data of the banknote detected by the transmitted light sensor of the optical sensor means and the reference transmitted light data of the temporarily determined denomination banknote do not substantially match, The CPU 50 determines that two or more banknotes are all or partially overlapped and are sent, and writes the determination result in a memory area for storing data related to the banknotes deposited in the RAM 52.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the transmitted light data of the banknote detected by the transmitted light sensor of the optical sensor means and the reference transmitted light data of the temporarily denominated banknote substantially match The CPU 50 determines that the banknotes are being conveyed one by one, and further, the banknote optical data and magnetic data input from the sensor unit 10a of the banknote determination unit 10 are read from the ROM 51. Compared with the optical data and the reference magnetic data, it is determined whether or not the denomination, fouling level, front and back sides of the banknote and the short side of the banknote are sent in parallel with the banknote transport direction.

  That is, 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 surface of the denominated banknote, the difference between the two is the first threshold. When it is determined that the value is equal to or lower than the value, the CPU 50 finally determines that the banknote detected by the banknote determination unit 10 is a banknote of a denomination tentatively determined based on the RFID data. It discriminate | determines that it is sent so that the short side may become parallel to the conveyance direction of a banknote surface by side, and the discrimination | determination result is written in the memory area which stores the data regarding the deposited banknote of RAM52.

  On the other hand, the difference between the surface pattern data of the banknote detected by the reflected light sensor of the optical sensor means and the reference optical data of the surface of the banknote of the denomination corresponding to the denomination of the banknote temporarily determined read from the ROM 51 is When it is determined that the value is greater than or equal to the first threshold but less than or equal to the second threshold greater than the first threshold, the CPU 50 detects the banknote detected by the banknote determination unit 10. The banknotes of the denominations tentatively determined based on the RFID data are sent one by one with the surface facing up and the short side parallel to the banknote transport direction. It discriminate | determines that it is a corruption banknote exceeding a level, and writes the discrimination | determination result in the memory area which stores the data regarding the banknote with which it received the RAM52.

  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 determining that the second threshold value larger than the threshold value has been exceeded, the CPU 50 further stores the reference optical data on the back side of the denomination of the banknote corresponding to the temporarily determined banknote denomination in the ROM 51. Is compared with the surface pattern data of the banknote detected by the reflected light sensor of the optical sensor means.

  As a result, when it is determined that the difference between the two is equal to or less than the third threshold, the CPU 50 detects the banknote detected by the banknote determination unit 10 as a denomination of money deterministically determined based on the RFID data. It is determined that the banknotes are sent one by one with the back side up, and the short sides are parallel to the banknote transport direction, and the determination result is deposited in the RAM 52. Write to a memory area that stores data about banknotes.

  On the other hand, the surface pattern data of the banknote detected by the reflected light sensor of the optical sensor means and the reference optical data of the back side of the banknote of the denomination corresponding to the temporarily determined banknote denomination read from the ROM 51 When it is determined that the difference exceeds the fourth threshold value that is greater than the third threshold value, the CPU 50 conveys the banknotes one by one with the genuine banknotes that are currently in circulation. However, it is determined that the short side of the banknote is not sent so as to be parallel to the banknote transport direction, and the determination result is written in the memory area of the RAM 52 that stores data related to the banknote deposited.

  On the other hand, the difference between the surface pattern data of the banknote detected by the reflected light sensor of the optical sensor means and the reference optical data of the back side of the banknote of the denomination corresponding to the denomination of the banknote read provisionally from the ROM 51 is When the CPU 50 determines that the bill is detected by the bill discriminating unit 10 when it is determined to be equal to or greater than the third threshold but not greater than the fourth threshold, the bill is temporarily determined based on the RFID data. The banknotes of the determined denomination are sent one by one with the back side up and the short side parallel to the banknote transport direction. It discriminate | determines and writes a discrimination | determination result in the memory area which stores the data regarding the banknote with which RAM52 was deposited.

  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 10 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, the bill optical data and magnetic data input from the sensor unit 10a of the bill discriminating unit 10 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.

  The bill that has passed through the bill discriminating unit 10 is sent to the transport path 11.

  As described above, when the banknote is determined based on the data detected by the banknote determination unit 10, the banknote detected by the banknote determination unit 10 is determined to be a forged banknote or a foreign banknote. The CPU 50 drives the gate member 13 when it is determined that all or a part of the bills are being sent and the short side of the bill is being sent at an angle with the conveyance direction of the bill. A drive signal is output to the solenoid 63 that makes the conveyance path 11 and the branch conveyance path 12 communicate with each other.

  As a result, when it is determined that the bill is a forged bill or a foreign bill, all or a part of two or more bills are overlapped and sent, and the short side of the bill is sent at an angle with the bill conveyance direction. If the banknote is present, the banknote is sent from the transport path 11 to the first banknote return port 4 via the branch transport path 12 and returned to the operator.

  In this embodiment, the banknote discriminating unit 10 includes an RFID reader 10b, and the RFID reader 10b records the ID data of the banknote recorded on the IC chip in the inlet formed integrally with the banknote, the money of the banknote. Since RFID data such as seed data is read, all or part of two or more banknotes are overlapped and sent, or the short side of the banknote is sent at an angle with the conveyance direction of the banknote. Even in the case, the denomination of the banknote can be accurately discriminated, but when two or more banknotes are all or partially overlapped and sent, or the short side of the banknote is the banknote transport direction. When the bills are sent at an angle, they may be jammed on the downstream side of the transport path 11, and therefore sent to the first bill return port 4 to be operated. It is configured to return the data.

  On the other hand, as a result of discriminating the banknote based on the data detected by the banknote discriminating unit 10, the banknotes detected by the banknote discriminating unit 10 are genuinely circulating banknotes one by one, and the short side is a banknote. It is sent so that it is parallel to the transport direction, but when it is determined that the denomination is different from the denomination of the banknote for which the banknote bundle specified by the operator is to be generated, and the authenticity currently in circulation Each banknote is sent one by one so that its short side is parallel to the banknote transport direction. A drive signal is output to the solenoid 64 that drives the member 15 so that the transport path 11 and the branch transport path 14 communicate with each other.

  As a result, genuine banknotes that are currently in circulation are sent one by one so that the short side is parallel to the banknote transport direction, but the denomination generates a banknote bundle specified by the operator. A banknote that is different from the denomination of the banknote to be defaced and a defaced banknote with a defacement level exceeding a predetermined level are sent from the conveyance path 11 to the second banknote return port 5 via the branch conveyance path 14, and Returned to.

  On the other hand, as a result of discriminating the banknote based on the data detected by the banknote discriminating unit 10, the banknotes detected by the banknote discriminating unit 10 are genuine banknotes that are actually circulating, one by one, and the short side However, when it is determined that the paper is conveyed with the back side up, the CPU 50 outputs a drive signal to the solenoid 65 that drives the gate member 17. The conveying path 11 and the front / back reversing conveying path 16 are communicated with each other, and a driving signal is output to a roller pair driving means 62 for driving the plurality of roller pairs 18 provided on the front / back reversing conveying path 16, thereby 18 is driven.

  As a result, the banknotes are sent from the transport path 11 into the front / back reversal transport path 16, and then returned to the transport path 11 as the plurality of roller pairs 18 are reversed. In the state, the inside of the conveyance path 11 is sent toward the banknote stacking unit 20.

  On the other hand, as a result of discriminating the banknotes based on the data detected by the banknote discriminating unit 10, the banknotes detected by the banknote discriminating unit 10 are genuine banknotes that are actually circulating, one by one with the surface facing up. When the CPU 50 determines that the short side is sent in parallel with the banknote transport direction, the CPU 50 does not output a drive signal to the solenoid 65 that drives the gate member 17, and the banknote is transported upside down. It passes through 16 branch parts and is sent to the banknote stacking part 20.

  Therefore, the banknote stacking unit 20 includes only the banknotes that are genuinely distributed in the current denomination designated by the operator and are sent one by one so that the short sides thereof are parallel to the banknote transport direction. , Sent with the surface facing up.

  The banknotes sent to the banknote stacking unit 20 are stacked in the banknote stacking unit 20 by the banknote stacking mechanism 66.

  In this way, the banknote stacking unit 20, one after another, is a genuine banknote currently in circulation of the denomination designated by the operator and is sent one by one so that the short side is parallel to the transport direction of the banknote. As a result of being sent to and accumulated, a predetermined number of banknotes, for example, 100 banknotes, are stored in the banknote stacking unit 20 based on the data written in the memory area for storing the data related to the banknotes deposited in the RAM 52. When the CPU 50 determines that the bills are stacked, the CPU 50 outputs a driving stop signal to the feeding roller driving means 60 to stop the driving of the feeding rollers, and temporarily takes in the bills set in the bill deposit slot 2. The banknote stacking unit 20 outputs a drive signal to the banknote stacking unit 20 and outputs the drive signal to the banknote stacking unit 20. To transfer to.

  When the banknotes accumulated in the banknote stacking unit 20 are transferred to the banding processing unit 31 of the banknote banding mechanism 30, the CPU 50 outputs a drive signal to the motor 68 and a pair of clamping members 31 a of the banding processing unit 31. , 31b are brought close to each other.

  As a result, a predetermined number of banknotes, for example, stacked banknotes including 100 banknotes, are sandwiched between the pair of sandwiching members 31a and 31b.

  Next, the CPU 50 outputs a drive signal to the motor 69 that drives the binding tape supply member 32, feeds the binding tape T toward the banding processing unit 31, and further stores data relating to the banknote bundle to be generated in the RAM 52. Read the RFID data of the banknote sent to the banknote stacking unit 20 written in the memory area for storing the data related to the bundling process written in the memory area to be stored and the data about the banknote deposited in the RAM 52, together with the drive signal, It outputs to the RFID writer drive means 73 which drives the RFID writer 35 of the banknote banding mechanism 30.

  As a result, the RFID writer 35 includes the IC chip in the inlet formed integrally with the binding tape T that is fed from the binding tape supply member 32 toward the bundling processing unit 31 and included in the banknote bundle to be generated. RFID data related to banknotes constituting banknote bundles such as denomination data of banknotes, ID data, etc., as well as banding processing such as financial institution name, branch name, banknote processing machine ID data, operator name, date and time of performing banding processing, etc. RFID data is written.

  Further, the CPU 50 performs central management in which data relating to the bundling process written on the IC chip in the inlet integrally formed on the binding tape T is jointly managed by a financial institution having the authority to perform the bundling process on the banknote bundle. Output to the server 55. In this way, the central management server 55 stores the data relating to the bundling process written by the RFID writer 35 on the IC chip in the inlet formed integrally with the binding tape T wound around the stacked banknote.

  The binding tape T in which the RFID data relating to the banknotes constituting the banknote bundle and the RFID data relating to the bundling process are written to the IC chip in the inlet is sent into the bundling processing unit 31, and the bundling tape T is put into the bundling processing unit 31. When sent, the CPU 50 outputs a drive signal to a motor 72 that drives a tape winding means (not shown) of the bundling processing section 31, and the bundled banknote T is held between the pair of holding members 31a and 31b. Wrapped around the center of

  When it is determined that the binding tape T having a predetermined length is wound around the stacked banknote, the CPU 50 outputs a drive signal to a solenoid 70 that drives a cutter (not shown) of the banknote bundling mechanism 30, and the binding tape uses the cutter. T is cut, and further, a drive signal is output to a solenoid 71 that drives an adhering means (not shown) of the banknote bundling mechanism 30, and both ends of the cut binding tape T are adhered by the adhering means.

  In this way, a banknote bundle including a predetermined number of banknotes, for example, 100 banknotes, wound with the binding tape T, is generated.

  When the banknote bundle is generated, the CPU 50 writes the banknote bundle generation data relating to the denomination and number of the generated banknote bundle in the memory area for storing the data related to the generated banknote bundle in the RAM 52, and the banknote bundle feeding unit. A drive signal is output to a motor 74 for driving the motor 38 and a transport roller driving means 75 for driving a transport roller (not shown) provided in the banknote bundle transport path 40.

  As a result, the generated banknote bundle is fed from the band-wrap processing section 31 into the banknote bundle transport path 40 by the banknote bundle feeding section 38 and withdrawn to the banknote bundle dispensing port 3.

  When the generated banknote bundle is withdrawn to the banknote bundle dispensing port 3, the CPU 50 outputs a drive signal to the feeding roller driving means 60 to drive the feeding roller and set the banknote depositing port 2. The taking-in of the bills made is resumed.

  The same operation is repeated, and the banknotes set in the banknote deposit port 2 are successively drawn out into the banknote processing machine, including a predetermined number of banknotes, for example, 100 banknotes, and the binding tape T is wound. Thus, a banknote bundle with a band seal is generated, and the CPU 50 rewrites the banknote bundle generation data written in the memory area for storing the data regarding the generated banknote bundle in the RAM 52.

  As a result, the number of banknote bundles generated in the banknote bundle generation data is equal to the number of banknote bundles to be generated in the banknote bundle data written in the memory area for storing data on the banknote bundles to be generated in the RAM 52. Then, when the generated banknote bundle is withdrawn to the banknote bundle dispensing port 3, the CPU 50 completes the banknote banding process.

  According to this embodiment, the IC chip in the inlet formed on the binding tape T that has been subjected to the bundling process and wound around the generated banknote bundle includes the name of the financial institution, the branch name, and the banknote processing machine. RFID data related to the bundling process such as the ID data of the operator, the name of the operator, and the date and time when the bundling process is performed is written. Therefore, the RFID data related to the bundling process written on the IC chip in the inlet formed on the binding tape T is stored. By reading, it is possible to easily know the history of the generation of banknote bundles, and thus it is possible to manage the banknote bundles as desired.

  Moreover, according to this embodiment, the data regarding the bundling process written on the IC chip in the inlet formed on the binding tape T is jointly managed by the financial institution having the authority to perform the bundling process on the banknote bundle. Since it is configured to be output and stored in the central management server 55, the RFID data related to the bundling process written in the IC chip in the inlet formed on the binding tape T is read, and the central management server 55 is accessed. By doing so, it is possible to accurately determine whether or not the banknote bundle is genuinely generated by an engine having the authority to perform a banding process on the banknote bundle, and therefore the banknote bundle is managed as desired. It becomes possible.

  Further, according to this embodiment, the IC chip in the inlet formed on the binding tape T that has been subjected to the bundling process and wound around the generated banknote bundle includes the money of the banknote included in the banknote bundle. Since RFID data relating to banknotes constituting a banknote bundle such as seed data and ID data is written, banknotes included in a banknote bundle that has been subjected to a banding process can be identified by reading the RFID data. Therefore, even if a banknote is extracted after the banknote bundle is generated, the extracted banknote can be specified, so that the banknote bundle can be managed as desired.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a control system, a detection system, a drive system, an input system, and a display system of the banknote handling machine shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the control system, detection system, input system and display system of the banknote handling machine according to this embodiment are the control system, detection system and input system of the banknote handling machine shown in FIGS. It has the same configuration as the system and the display system.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the drive system of the banknote handling machine according to this embodiment includes a motor 95 for driving the binding tape supply member 90 instead of the motor 69 for driving the binding tape supply member 32, and A motor 96 that drives a film supply member 91 that feeds a film F on which a label integrally formed with an inlet including an IC chip and an antenna is attached at a predetermined interval toward a banding processing unit 31, and banding processing Towards the portion 31, the label on which the inlet including the IC chip and the antenna is integrally formed is peeled off from the film F fed from the film supply member 91 one by one, and a predetermined interval is formed on the surface of the binding tape T. Thus, the driving system of the banknote handling machine shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is the same as that of the banknote processing machine shown in FIGS. It has formed.

  The banknote handling machine according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention configured as described above is for banknotes of the denomination designated by the operator among banknotes inserted into the banknote deposit port 2 as follows. Sorting, collecting only a predetermined number, for example, 100 sheets, winding the binding tape T around the substantially central portion of the stacked banknotes, applying a banding process to the stacked banknotes, A banknote bundle including 100 banknotes is generated.

  First, banknotes are set in the banknote deposit port 2 by an operator, and further included in banknote denominations and banknote bundles to generate banknote bundles together with banknote bundle generation signals instructing generation of banknote bundles by an operator. Data relating to the bundling process such as banknote bundle data specifying the number of banknotes to be generated and the number of banknote bundles to be generated, and financial institution name, branch name, banknote processing machine ID data, operator name, and the like are input to the keyboard 80. .

  The banknote bundle generation signal input by the operator is output to the CPU 50 together with the banknote bundle data and the data related to the banding process. When the banknote bundle generation signal, the banknote bundle data and the data related to the banding process input by the operator are received, the CPU 50 The banknote bundle data and the data relating to the banding process input by the operator are written in the memory area for storing the data on the banknote bundle to be generated in the RAM 52, and the feeding roller driving means 60, the transport roller driving means 61 and the banknote stacking unit 20 are stored. A drive signal is output to the banknote stacking mechanism 66, and a feed roller (not shown) is provided in the feed roller (not shown), the transport path 9, the transport path 11, the branch transport path 12 and the branch transport path 14. In addition, the bill stacking mechanism 66 of the bill stacking unit 20 is driven.

  As a result, the banknotes set in the banknote deposit slot 2 are fed one by one into the transport path 9 by the feed roller and sent to the banknote discriminating unit 10.

  In the bill discriminating unit 10, the optical data and magnetic data of the bill are read by the sensor unit 10a, and the ID data of the bill recorded on the IC chip in the inlet formed integrally with the bill by the RFID reader 10b. RFID data such as banknote denomination data is read, and the read banknote optical data, magnetic data, and RFID data are output to the CPU 50.

  The CPU 50 writes the RFID data input from the RFID reader 10b of the banknote discriminating unit 10 in a memory area for storing data on the banknotes deposited in the RAM 52, and the banknotes are based on the RFID data written in the RAM 52. It is tentatively discriminated whether or not it is a genuine banknote currently in circulation and the denomination of the banknote.

  As a result, when it is determined that the banknote detected by the banknote discriminating unit 10 is not a genuine banknote currently circulating based on the RFID data of the banknote, the CPU 50 displays the discrimination result in the banknote deposited in the RAM 52. On the other hand, when it is determined that the banknote is a genuine banknote currently in circulation based on the RFID data of the banknote, the CPU 50 is based on the RFID data of the banknote. The banknote denomination is provisionally determined, and the reference transmitted light data, the surface reference optical data and the reference magnetic data of the banknote of the denomination corresponding to the provisionally determined banknote denomination are read from the ROM 51.

  Next, the CPU 50 compares the transmitted light data of the bill detected by the transmitted light sensor of the optical sensor means with the reference transmitted light data of the tentatively determined denomination, and first, the bills are sent one by one. It is determined whether or not.

  As a result, when it is determined that the transmitted light data of the banknote detected by the transmitted light sensor of the optical sensor means and the reference transmitted light data of the temporarily determined denomination banknote do not substantially match, The CPU 50 determines that two or more banknotes are all or partially overlapped and are sent, and writes the determination result in a memory area for storing data related to the banknotes deposited in the RAM 52.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the transmitted light data of the banknote detected by the transmitted light sensor of the optical sensor means and the reference transmitted light data of the temporarily denominated banknote substantially match The CPU 50 determines that the banknotes are being conveyed one by one, and further, the banknote optical data and magnetic data input from the sensor unit 10a of the banknote determination unit 10 are read from the ROM 51. Compared with the optical data and the reference magnetic data, it is determined whether or not the denomination, fouling level, front and back sides of the banknote and the short side of the banknote are sent in parallel with the banknote transport direction.

  That is, 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 surface of the denominated banknote, the difference between the two is the first threshold. When it is determined that the value is equal to or lower than the value, the CPU 50 finally determines that the banknote detected by the banknote determination unit 10 is a banknote of a denomination tentatively determined based on the RFID data. It discriminate | determines that it is sent so that the short side may become parallel to the conveyance direction of a banknote surface by side, and the discrimination | determination result is written in the memory area which stores the data regarding the deposited banknote of RAM52.

  On the other hand, the difference between the surface pattern data of the banknote detected by the reflected light sensor of the optical sensor means and the reference optical data of the surface of the banknote of the denomination corresponding to the denomination of the banknote temporarily determined read from the ROM 51 is When it is determined that the value is greater than or equal to the first threshold but less than or equal to the second threshold greater than the first threshold, the CPU 50 detects the banknote detected by the banknote determination unit 10. The banknotes of the denominations tentatively determined based on the RFID data are sent one by one with the surface facing up and the short side parallel to the banknote transport direction. It discriminate | determines that it is a dirty banknote exceeding a level, and writes the discrimination | determination result in the memory area which stores the data regarding the banknote with which payment was carried out of RAM52.

  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 determining that the second threshold value larger than the threshold value has been exceeded, the CPU 50 further stores the reference optical data on the back side of the denomination of the banknote corresponding to the temporarily determined banknote denomination in the ROM 51. Are compared with the surface pattern data of the banknote detected by the reflected light sensor of the optical sensor means.

  As a result, when it is determined that the difference between the two is equal to or less than the third threshold, the CPU 50 detects the banknote detected by the banknote determination unit 10 as a denomination of money deterministically determined based on the RFID data. It is determined that the banknotes are sent one by one with the back side up, and the short sides are parallel to the banknote transport direction, and the determination result is deposited in the RAM 52. Write to a memory area that stores data related to banknotes.

  On the other hand, the surface pattern data of the banknote detected by the reflected light sensor of the optical sensor means and the reference optical data of the back side of the banknote of the denomination corresponding to the temporarily determined banknote denomination read from the ROM 51 When it is determined that the difference exceeds the fourth threshold value that is greater than the third threshold value, the CPU 50 conveys the banknotes one by one with the genuine banknotes that are currently in circulation. However, it is determined that the short side of the banknote is not sent so as to be parallel to the banknote transport direction, and the determination result is written in the memory area of the RAM 52 that stores data related to the banknote deposited.

  On the other hand, the difference between the surface pattern data of the banknote detected by the reflected light sensor of the optical sensor means and the reference optical data of the back side of the banknote of the denomination corresponding to the denomination of the banknote read provisionally from the ROM 51 is When the CPU 50 determines that the bill is detected by the bill discriminating unit 10 when it is determined to be equal to or greater than the third threshold but not greater than the fourth threshold, the bill is temporarily determined based on the RFID data. The banknotes of the determined denomination are sent one by one with the back side up and the short side parallel to the banknote transport direction. It discriminate | determines and writes a discrimination | determination result in the memory area which stores the data regarding the banknote with which payment was carried out of RAM52.

  Also in the present embodiment, as described above, based on the RFID data of the banknote, it is determined whether the banknote detected by the banknote determination unit 10 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, the bill optical data and magnetic data input from the sensor unit 10a of the bill discriminating unit 10 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.

  The bill that has passed through the bill discriminating unit 10 is sent to the transport path 11.

  As described above, when the banknote is determined based on the data detected by the banknote determination unit 10, the banknote detected by the banknote determination unit 10 is determined to be a counterfeit banknote or a foreign banknote. The CPU 50 drives the gate member 13 when it is determined that all or a part of the bills are being sent and the short side of the bill is being sent at an angle with the conveyance direction of the bill. The drive signal is output to the solenoid 63 that makes the conveyance path 11 and the branch conveyance path 12 communicate with each other, and the banknote is sent from the conveyance path 11 to the first banknote return port 4 via the branch conveyance path 12. Return to the operator.

  On the other hand, as a result of discriminating the banknote based on the data detected by the banknote discriminating unit 10, the banknotes detected by the banknote discriminating unit 10 are genuinely circulating banknotes one by one, and the short side is a banknote. It is sent so that it is parallel to the transport direction, but when it is determined that the denomination is different from the denomination of the banknote for which the banknote bundle specified by the operator is to be generated, and the authenticity currently in circulation Each banknote is sent one by one so that its short side is parallel to the banknote transport direction. A drive signal is output to the solenoid 64 that drives the member 15 so that the transport path 11 and the branch transport path 14 communicate with each other, and the banknote is transferred from the transport path 11 through the branch transport path 14 to the second banknote return port. 5 to the operator To retirement.

  On the other hand, as a result of discriminating the banknote based on the data detected by the banknote discriminating unit 10, the banknotes detected by the banknote discriminating unit 10 are genuine banknotes that are actually circulating, one by one, and the short side However, when it is determined that the paper is conveyed with the back side up, the CPU 50 outputs a drive signal to the solenoid 65 that drives the gate member 17. The conveying path 11 and the front / back reversing conveying path 16 are communicated with each other, and a driving signal is output to a roller pair driving means 62 for driving the plurality of roller pairs 18 provided on the front / back reversing conveying path 16, thereby 18 is driven.

  As a result, the banknotes are sent from the transport path 11 into the front / back reversal transport path 16, and then returned to the transport path 11 as the plurality of roller pairs 18 are reversed. In the state, the inside of the conveyance path 11 is sent toward the banknote stacking unit 20.

  On the other hand, as a result of discriminating the banknotes based on the data detected by the banknote discriminating unit 10, the banknotes detected by the banknote discriminating unit 10 are genuine banknotes that are actually circulating, one by one with the surface facing up. When the CPU 50 determines that the short side is sent in parallel with the banknote transport direction, the CPU 50 does not output a drive signal to the solenoid 65 that drives the gate member 17, and the banknote is transported upside down. It passes through 16 branch parts and is sent to the banknote stacking part 20.

  Therefore, the banknote stacking unit 20 includes only the banknotes that are genuinely distributed in the current denomination designated by the operator and are sent one by one so that the short sides thereof are parallel to the banknote transport direction. , Sent with the surface facing up.

  The banknotes sent to the banknote stacking unit 20 are stacked in the banknote stacking unit 20 by the banknote stacking mechanism 66.

  In this way, the banknote stacking unit 20, one after another, is a genuine banknote currently in circulation of the denomination designated by the operator and is sent one by one so that the short side is parallel to the transport direction of the banknote. As a result of being sent to and accumulated, a predetermined number of banknotes, for example, 100 banknotes, are stored in the banknote stacking unit 20 based on the data written in the memory area for storing the data related to the banknotes deposited in the RAM 52. When the CPU 50 determines that the bills are stacked, the CPU 50 outputs a driving stop signal to the feeding roller driving means 60 to stop the driving of the feeding rollers, and temporarily takes in the bills set in the bill deposit slot 2. The banknote stacking unit 20 outputs a drive signal to the banknote stacking unit 20 and outputs the drive signal to the banknote stacking unit 20. To transfer to.

  When the banknotes accumulated in the banknote stacking unit 20 are transferred to the banding processing unit 31 of the banknote banding mechanism 30, the CPU 50 outputs a drive signal to the motor 68 and a pair of clamping members 31 a of the banding processing unit 31. , 31b are brought close to each other.

  As a result, a predetermined number of banknotes, for example, stacked banknotes including 100 banknotes, are sandwiched between the pair of sandwiching members 31a and 31b.

  Next, the CPU 50 outputs a drive signal to the motor 96 that drives the film supply member 91, and the film F to which the label integrally formed with the inlet including the IC chip and the antenna is attached at a predetermined interval, Sending out toward the banding processing unit 31, and then outputting a drive signal to a motor 95 that drives the binding tape supply member 90 to feed out the binding tape T toward the banding processing unit 31 and affix the label. A drive signal is output to the motor 97 that drives the means 92, and the labels on which the IC chip and the inlet including the antenna are integrally formed are peeled off from the film F fed from the film supply member 91 one by one, and bound. A label is stuck on the surface of the binding tape T fed from the tape supply member 90 at a predetermined interval.
