Description

  The present invention relates to a banknote organizing apparatus that counts banknotes by denomination, accumulates the counted banknotes in a plurality of temporary stacking units, and bundles and organizes the banknotes by a predetermined number.

A banknote sorting apparatus that counts banknotes by denomination, accumulates the counted banknotes in a plurality of temporary stacking units, and bundles and organizes the banknotes by a certain number is incorporated in a cashier used in a financial institution.
In such a banknote sorting device, when stacking banknotes in a temporary stacking unit, it is desired to adjust the position of banknotes by performing position control in the longitudinal direction and the short direction with respect to the banknotes.
As a conventional positioning means for adjusting the position in the longitudinal direction of banknotes accumulated in the temporary stacking unit, a rotatable positioning member (longitudinal positioning arm) provided at a position opposite to the reference surface, and depending on the denomination Position adjustment rubber and stopper for regulating the amount of rotation of the lever positioning member are provided, and when the banknotes are stacked on the temporary stacking unit, the end of the banknote in the longitudinal direction is hit by the positioning member and pushed to the reference surface side. The thing of the structure which aligns by this is proposed (for example, refer patent document 1).
JP-A-11-167657

  However, in the above-described conventional technology, the rotation amount of the positioning member depends on mechanical means such as a position adjustment rubber and a stopper, so that the banknote length can be stabilized due to deterioration of the position adjustment rubber and variations in the position accuracy of the stopper. It is difficult to align the direction of the banknotes, and when there is a shift in the banknote transport position, it takes more or less energy to push the edges of the banknotes, and stable banknote longitudinal alignment is possible. There was a problem that I could not.

Moreover, since the rotation amount of the positioning member is regulated by the position adjusting rubber and the stopper according to the denomination, the temporary stacking unit is dedicated for one denomination, and for stacking banknotes of other denominations There is also a problem that it cannot be used.
Furthermore, since the weakness of a used banknote is relatively different from that of a relatively new banknote, if the same positioning member is rotated at the same speed and the banknote is pushed in, the banknote is aligned due to the difference in the banknote waist. There was also a problem that the amount of money to be processed was different and stable banknote alignment was not possible.

  An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a discrimination unit for discriminating the denominations of banknotes to be bundled every certain number of sheets and counting the banknotes for each denomination, and a temporary stacking unit for temporarily accumulating banknotes whose denominations are determined by the discrimination unit And a reference surface provided in the temporary stacking unit, and provided at a position opposite to the reference surface so as to be rotationally movable. One end in the longitudinal direction of the bill is pushed into the reference surface side by rotational movement and aligned. When the bill is temporarily accumulated in the temporary stacking unit, the rotational movement amount of the positioning member is controlled according to the denomination identified by the discrimination unit, and the bill is longitudinally aligned. It is characterized by performing.

In the present invention thus configured, when the banknote is temporarily accumulated in the temporary accumulation unit, the rotational movement amount of the positioning member is controlled according to the denomination identified by the discrimination unit. The effect that the alignment can be performed stably is obtained.
In addition, since the rotational movement amount of the positioning member is controlled in accordance with the denomination, the temporary stacking unit is not dedicated to one denomination, and the banknotes are aligned in the longitudinal direction for all denominations. It is also possible to obtain the effect of being able to accumulate by moving the position.

The operator operates the operation display unit 13 to change the mode. The designation, the denomination of banknotes to be accumulated in the temporary accumulation units 6a to 6d, and the accumulation order are set.

The operation display unit 13 also displays the denomination, correctness, and counting result of the banknotes identified by the discrimination unit 2.
Here, the conveyance path 3 will be described.
In the upper part of the apparatus, the conveyance path 3 is composed of 3a to 3d as shown in FIG. 2, and the conveyance path 3a is provided from the insertion port 1 to the branch point A through the discrimination section 2, and the conveyance path 3b is It is provided so as to reach the reject pocket 8 from the branch point A.

Further, the conveyance path 3c is provided so as to reach the branch point B from the branch point A through the front / back inversion part 4, and the conveyance path 3d extends from the branch point B to the lower part of the apparatus as shown in FIG. Along the temporary accumulation portions 6 a to 6 d of the accumulation mechanism 6, the conveyance path 3 e is further provided from the branch point B to the open pocket 5.
A switching blade (not shown) for switching the bill conveyance direction is provided in the vicinity of each of the branch points A and B, and the operation is controlled by a control unit described later.

FIG. 5 is a side view of the stacking mechanism 6.
In the stacking mechanism 6, the four temporary stacking units 6a to 6c are arranged in the vertical direction as described above, and these temporary stacking units 6a to 6c have the same structure. The accumulation unit 6a will be described as an example.
The banknotes transported by the transport path 3d are taken toward the stacking plate 21 by the sorting gate 27 of the temporary stacking unit 6a, whereby the banknotes that have entered the temporary stacking unit 6a are hit by the tapping wheel 20 at the rear part. It is integrated on the integrated plate 21.

Further, the banknotes entering after that are stacked on the banknotes stacked on the stacking plate 21 by the same operation.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing details of the temporary accumulating portion 6a.
The banknotes that have entered the temporary stacking unit 6a are not only beaten by the tapping wheel 20, but are also aligned in the longitudinal direction by the longitudinal positioning means 22 provided on one side of the temporary stacking unit 6a. The position in the short direction is aligned by the short positioning means 23 provided on the front end side of 6a.

  Here, the longitudinal positioning means 22 includes a motor 22a capable of rotating in both forward and reverse directions, and a positioning member 22c such as a bar or plate connected to the motor 22a via a connecting member 22b. The positioning member 22c is rotated by the motor 22a in synchronization with a detection signal of an ingress sensor (not shown) that detects the incoming bill, thereby pushing one end in the longitudinal direction of the bill into the reference surface 25 installed on the opposite side. It is supposed to be aligned.

Further, the short positioning means 23 is composed of a rod-like member biased by a biasing means such as a torsion spring (not shown), and aligns by biasing the accumulated bills toward the entrance side. ing.
A presser plate 24 is provided above the stacking plate 21 so as to be opposed to the presser plate 24. The presser plate 24 stands by at the upper end of the temporary stacking unit 6a during stacking of banknotes on the stacking plate 21, and is sequentially taken in. It doesn't get in the way of banknote entry.

When a predetermined number of banknotes, for example, 100 banknotes, are stacked on the stacking plate 21 of the temporary stacking unit 6a, the gate distribution mechanism 27 is operated in a posture in which the banknotes are not taken, and the 101st and subsequent banknotes are collected. Is controlled to be accumulated in any one of the temporary accumulation units 6b to 6d.
In the temporary stacking unit 6a where the banknotes have stopped entering, the stacking plate 21 is raised and the presser plate 24 is lowered to hold the banknotes.

With this operation, the thickness of banknotes having different stacking heights is made constant depending on the state of banknotes such as bags, and delivery to the moving mechanism 9 is facilitated.
The bills sandwiched between the stacking plate 21 and the presser plate 24 are drawn out by a hand portion of the moving mechanism 9 described later entering the temporary stacking portion 6a from the short positioning means 22 side.
Since the temporary stacking units 6b to 6d have the same structure as the temporary stacking unit 6a, the banknotes can be aligned, stacked, and sandwiched in the same manner as the temporary stacking unit 6a.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the transfer mechanism 9.
The transfer mechanism 9 includes a bill clamp unit 30, a clamp unit moving unit 31, and a vertical movement unit 32.
The banknote clamp part 30 has clamp claws 35a and 35b that open and close in the vertical direction. The banknote clamp part 30 is mounted on the clamp part moving means 31, and is clamped by the clamp claws 35a and 35b from the temporary stacking parts 6a to 6b. When clamping and pulling out the banknote, the clamp part moving means 31 pushes the clamp part 30 against the temporary stacking parts 6a to 6b and moves to a position where 100 banknotes stacked in the temporary stacking parts 6a to 6b can be clamped. It is supposed to let you.

The clamp part 30 and the clamp part moving means 31 are moved up and down integrally between the temporary stacking parts 6a to 6d by the vertical movement means 32, and any one of the temporary stacking parts 6a to 6b in which stacking of 100 bills is completed. It is controlled to stop before.
Therefore, position sensors 33a to 33d are arranged in the frame of the vertical movement means 32 corresponding to the positions of the temporary stacking units 6a to 6d. For example, banknotes stacked in the temporary stacking unit 6a are extracted. At this time, the clamp moving means 31 is pulled up by the vertical movement means 32 to the position of the position sensor 33a.

The clamp unit moving mechanism 31 that has been pulled up needs to be fixed at this position while the clamp unit 30 removes the banknote from the temporary stacking unit 6a. Therefore, the stopper cam 34 that can be rotated at the position stopped by the position sensor 33a is provided with the clamp unit. It is locked to the moving means 31 to prevent the fall.
A series of operations of the transfer mechanism 9 will be described. For example, when a banknote accumulated in the temporary stacking unit 6a is pulled out, the banknote clamping unit 30 is first moved up to the position of the position sensor 33a together with the clamp unit moving mechanism 31 by the vertical movement means 32. Then, the position sensor 33a stops the rise at the position where the clamp part moving mechanism 31 is detected, and at the same time, the stopper cam 34 is rotated to be engaged with the clamp part moving means 31.

As a result, the clamping unit moving means 31 is fixed at a position corresponding to the temporary stacking unit 6a, and in this state, the clamping claws 35a and 35b of the bill clamping unit 30 are opened in the vertical direction by the clamping moving mechanism 31 to clamp 100 bills. The banknote clamp part 30 is further pushed out in the direction of the temporary stacking part 6a by the clamp moving mechanism 31.
The clamp claws 35 a and 35 b of the pushed bill clamp mechanism 30 are inserted into an opening provided on the short positioning means 23 side of the temporary stacking unit 6 a and are sandwiched between the stacking plate 21 and the pressing plate 24. Hold the banknotes from above and below.

Next, when the stacking plate 21 and the holding plate 24 are opened to release the holding of the banknotes, the 100 banknotes are passed to the banknote clamping unit 30. Therefore, the clamping claws 35a and 35b The banknote clamp part 30 holding the banknote is pulled back by the clamp part moving means 31.
At this time, the banknotes held by the clamp claws 35a and 35b hit the short positioning means 23 of the temporary stacking portion 6a. However, when the banknote clamping section 30 is pulled back as it is, the short positioning means 23 is biased by the pressing force of the banknotes. The banknotes are smoothly extracted from the temporary stacking portion 6a.

  When the banknote clamp part 30 is pulled back to the original position, it is locked to the clamp part moving means 31 and the stopper cam 34 is rotated to release the lock, and the clamp moving means together with the banknote clamp part 30 holding the banknote. 31 moves to the banknote binding mechanism 10 positioned at the lowermost end of the movement path by the vertical movement means 32, and the banknotes held by the clamp claws 35 a and 35 b of the banknote clamp unit 30 are delivered to the banknote binding mechanism 10.

FIG. 8 is a side view of the banknote binding mechanism 10.
The banknote bundling mechanism 10 includes a conveying unit 40 including rollers and a belt, a bundling tape 41 using paper tape or the like, a printing unit 42, a supply unit 43 for supplying the tape 41, and a tape 41 having a predetermined length. And a binding means (not shown) for binding the bills as follows.

First, the conveyance path 10 collectively receives 100 banknotes from the banknote clamp part 30 of the transfer mechanism 9 and conveys them to the binding position.
The tape supply means 43 supplies the tape 41 to the bundling means, and at this time, the printing means 42 prints the denominations of banknotes bound to the tape 41 via the ink ribbon.
The printed tape 41 is cut into a predetermined length by a cutter 44, and the cut tape is wrapped around 100 bills conveyed to the binding position by the binding means to form a banknote bundle.

The banknote bundle thus created is further conveyed by the conveying means 40 and sent to the discharge port 11.
FIG. 9 is a block diagram of a control system related to bill counting.
In the figure, reference numeral 50 denotes a control unit that controls the operation processing of the entire bill sorting apparatus, 51a to 51d are counters, and the counters 51a to 51d correspond to the temporary stacking units 6a to 6d on a one-to-one basis, for example, the temporary stacking unit 6a. The counter 51a counts the number of banknotes accumulated in the counter 51a. Similarly, the counter 51b counts the number of banknotes stacked in the temporary stacking section 6b. The counter 51c and the temporary stacking section 6d stack the banknotes stacked in the temporary stacking section 6c. The counter 51d counts the number of banknotes accumulated in.

Reference numeral 52 denotes a storage unit that stores the denominations of banknotes accumulated in the temporary stacking units 6a to 6d, the number of banknotes counted for each denomination, and the like in the present embodiment. A denomination-type banknote positioning movement amount setting table, a positioning operation start time setting table, and a positioning operation speed setting table, which are set in advance for use in the longitudinal control of the banknote, are registered.
FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the denomination banknote movement amount setting table. In this table, movement amounts for aligning the denomination in the banknote longitudinal direction are set. In this example, 10,000 yen is set. The amount of movement with respect to is 10 mm, the amount of movement for 5,000 yen and 2,000 yen is 15 mm, and the amount of movement for 1,000 yen is 20 mm.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a positioning operation start time setting table. When a banknote passes through the discrimination unit 2, the table shows a distance from which the banknote is separated from the left end (reference position) of the discrimination unit 2. The time for starting the positioning movement of the positioning member 22 is set, and in this example, it is 36 mSec for 0 to 4 mm away, 34 mSec for 5 to 8 mm, 32 mSec for 9 to 12 mm, etc. Thus, the operation start time is advanced as the amount of the banknotes increases.

  FIG. 12 is a positioning operation speed setting table. This table sets the positioning operation moving speed (rotational moving speed) of the positioning member 22 according to the weakness of the banknote detected by the discrimination unit for each denomination. In this example, the level of weakness of the waist is 8 levels from 0 to 7 in order of weakness, and if the weakness of the waist is 0, 10,000 yen is 70 PPS, 5,000 yen and 2,000 yen are 90 PPS, 1000 yen Is set to increase the moving speed as the waist becomes stronger, such as 100PPS, weakness of 1 for the waist, 72PPS for 10,000 yen, 92PPS for 5,000 yen and 2,000 yen, and 102PPS for 1,000 yen. .

Next, the operation of the above-described configuration will be described.
The operation of each unit described below is controlled by the control unit 50 based on a program (software) stored in a storage unit (not shown), and the control unit 50 reads information from the storage unit and the like. The control based on this is omitted.
FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the alignment operation control of the bill in the longitudinal direction in the temporary stacking unit, and will be described according to the step indicated by S in the figure.

First, the operator selects an operation mode on the initial screen displayed on the operation display unit 13 (S1). Here, for example, it is assumed that the designated denomination bundling mode of four denominations of 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, 2,000 yen, and thousand yen is selected by touching, and a bill of mixed four denominations is set in the insertion slot 1. .
Subsequently, when the operator depresses the counting start button 7a arranged on the operation unit 7 (S2), the taking of the bills is started (S3), and the bills are separated one by one from the insertion slot 1 and taken into the apparatus. (S3).

The taken banknotes are transported to the discrimination unit 2 by the transport path 3a, and the discrimination unit 2 discriminates and counts the authenticity, denomination, front and back, correctness, etc. of the banknotes, detects whether there is a conveyance abnormality, and the discrimination unit Detection of the position of the banknote from the left end, detection of the degree of weakness of the banknote is performed (S4), and the banknote discrimination result, counting result, detection result of the degree of weakness of the position and waist are sent to the control unit 50. Notification is made (S5).
The control unit 50 causes the storage unit 52 to store the notified discrimination result, count result, and detection result of the degree of position and waist weakness.

Banknotes discriminated as 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, 2,000 yen or 1,000 yen in the discrimination part 2 are conveyed to the front / back reversing part 4 by the conveyance path 3c, and after the front and back reversing part 4 are aligned, the conveyance path It is conveyed by 3d to the temporary stacking unit 6a (or 6b, 6c, 6d) of the stacking mechanism 6 (S6).
In that case, the control part 50 reaches | attains the sensor provided in the entrance of the temporary stacking part 6a (or 6b, 6c, 6d) with the banknote of each money type by the sensor which is not shown in the conveyance paths 3c and 3d. Track and control conveyance until

  When the banknote is normally conveyed to the temporary stacking unit 6a (or 6b, 6c, 6d) and the sensor provided at the entrance of the temporary stacking unit 6a (or 6b, 6c, 6d) detects the banknote (S7), control is performed. The unit 50 extracts the denomination discrimination result of the corresponding banknote from the storage unit 52, and the length of the banknote of the corresponding denomination from the denomination banknote movement setting table (see FIG. 10) registered (stored) in the storage unit 52. The amount of alignment movement in the direction is obtained (S8).

Next, the control unit 50 takes out the conveyance position information (detection result) of the corresponding banknote from the storage unit 52, and based on the conveyance position information from the left end of the discrimination unit necessary for alignment control in the banknote longitudinal direction, the storage unit 52. The movement starting time of the positioning member 22 for positioning in the bill longitudinal direction is obtained from the positioning operation start time setting table (see FIG. 11) stored in (S9).
Next, the control unit 50 takes out information (detection result) on the weakness of the corresponding banknote from the storage unit, and based on the information on the weakness of the banknote necessary for alignment control in the longitudinal direction of the banknote, the storage unit The positioning operation moving speed (rotational moving speed) of the positioning member 22 is obtained from the positioning operation speed setting table (see FIG. 12) according to the banknote state for each denomination stored in 52 (S10).

  After determining the alignment control amount in the bill longitudinal direction to be operated in this manner, that is, the alignment movement amount, the alignment start time, and the alignment operation speed, the control unit 50 is provided at the entrance of the temporary stacking units 6a to 6d. When the sensor detects the banknote and the time from the operation start time obtained in S9 elapses (S11), the longitudinal positioning means 22 provided in the temporary stacking unit 6a (or 6b, 6c, 6d) By driving the motor 22a and rotating the positioning member 22c on the basis of the positioning movement amount and the positioning operation moving speed obtained in S8 and S10, the banknote is pushed toward the reference surface 25 side to align the banknote in the longitudinal direction. Perform (S12).

Such processes of S4 to S15 are repeated until 100 banknotes are stacked in the temporary stacking unit 6a (or 6b, 6c, 6d). The number of banknotes accumulated in the temporary accumulation units 6a to 6c is counted by the counters 51a to 51.
In this example, the alignment of the bill in the longitudinal direction is performed for each bill. However, the alignment can be performed every two or every five bills, for example.

As described above, the banknotes are aligned in the temporary stacking units 6a to 6c by the short positioning means 22 composed of a rod-like member biased by a biasing means such as a torsion spring (not shown) as described above. This is done by urging the bills to the entrance side.
When 100 banknotes are accumulated in the temporary stacking units 6a to 6c, the banknotes are taken out by the transfer mechanism 9 and transferred to the banknote binding mechanism 10 as described above, and are bundled with a tape by the banknote binding mechanism 10 to be bundled with banknotes. Then, it is transported to the discharge port 11 by the transport means 40 and discharged.

Note that banknotes not to be bound that have been identified as 2,000 yen by the discrimination unit 2 are transported and accumulated in the open pockets 5 by the transport paths 3c and 3e, and banknotes that have been identified as false or denominated Banknotes in which an abnormality in conveyance such as feeding is detected are conveyed to the reject pocket 8 by the conveyance path 3b and accumulated, and then taken out by the operator.
In the embodiment described above, when the banknote whose denomination is determined by the discrimination in the discrimination unit is temporarily accumulated in the temporary accumulation unit, the rotational movement amount of the positioning member is controlled according to the denomination identified in the discrimination unit. Therefore, the effect that the alignment of the banknote in the longitudinal direction can be performed stably is obtained.

In addition, since the positioning in the longitudinal direction of the bill is performed by controlling the rotational movement amount of the positioning member according to the denomination, the temporary stacking unit is not dedicated to one denomination, and all denominations As a result, the bills can be stacked in the longitudinal direction of the bills.
Moreover, the detection result of detecting the conveyance position of the banknote that affects the amount of movement and speed control of the longitudinal positioning member that performs the longitudinal alignment of the banknotes accumulated in the temporary stacking unit, and the degree of waist weakness Therefore, the effect of enabling the banknotes to be aligned in the longitudinal direction stably with respect to the difference in the banknote transport position and the weakness of the waist. can get.
