Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a paper sheet processing apparatus according to the present embodiment. This paper sheet processing apparatus is composed of a paper sheet processing apparatus main body 1 and a terminal device 2 for operating the paper sheet processing apparatus main body 1.

  The paper sheet processing apparatus main body 1 classifies banknotes (for example, banknotes) P as paper sheets according to the type or state, and sorts and stacks the stacked banknotes P for each type or state. And a sealing device 1B for sealing the banknotes P every predetermined number.

  The sorting and stacking apparatus 1A sets a plurality of banknotes P of a plurality of types in a lump, classifies them according to the type and state of each set banknote P, and sets the classified banknotes P to each stacker or It is conveyed to the sealing device 1B. The sealing device 1B accumulates the banknotes P sent from the sorting and accumulating device 1A in a stacker, and seals them with a paper band every predetermined number.

  The terminal device 2 performs control of the paper sheet processing apparatus main body 1, operation setting for the paper sheet processing apparatus main body 1, management of processing data by the paper sheet processing apparatus main body 1, and the like. Etc.

  The sorting and accumulating apparatus 1A has a supply unit 4 in which a plurality of banknotes P are set. A plurality of banknotes P in which a plurality of types are mixed are collectively set in the supply unit 4. The banknotes P set in the supply unit 4 each have a longitudinal direction and a width direction, and are set in a posture in which the upper end or the lower end in the longitudinal direction of the banknotes P faces downward.

  The supply unit 4 includes a stage 5, a backup plate 6, and a take-out roller 10 as take-in means. On the stage 5, a plurality of banknotes P are set in a state of being in contact with the upper end or lower end thereof and being aligned. The backup plate 6 is erected in the vertical direction with respect to the stage 5, and is moved to the take-out roller 10 side (left direction in the figure) along the stage 5 by a spring 8. The take-out roller 10 is composed of a pair of rollers, and by rotating in a predetermined direction, the banknotes P at the left end in the figure on the stage 5 are taken out one by one in order. Accordingly, the plurality of banknotes P set in the supply unit 4 are moved to the left in the drawing along the stage 5 by the backup plate 6 and pressed against the take-out roller 10.

  A conveyance path 12 is provided at the subsequent stage of the take-out roller 10, and banknotes P taken out by the take-out roller 10 are sequentially supplied to the conveyance path 12 one by one. The conveyance path 12 includes a plurality of rollers 15 and conveyance belts 14 and 16, and the banknotes P are conveyed one by one by the conveyance belts 14 and 16 driven by the plurality of rollers 15.

  The take-out roller 10 supplies the banknote P to the transport path 12 in the width direction with the upper end or lower end at the top. Further, the banknotes P supplied onto the transport path 12 by the take-out roller 10 are in a state where the front and back sides are separated. In the configuration example shown in FIG. 1, the banknote P taken out from the supply unit 4 is directed downward.

  On the side of the take-out roller 10 on the conveyance path 12, a detection unit 30 as a determination unit is provided. The detection unit 30 has various sensors and detects various information from the banknotes P transported through the transport path 12, such as the authenticity of the banknotes P, the type of the banknotes, the front and back, the top and bottom, and the presence or absence of dirt or damage. Read characteristic information for discrimination.

  The detection unit 30 includes, for example, an image sensor that reads an image on the surface of the bank note P, a thickness sensor that detects the thickness of the bank note P, a magnetic sensor that detects a magnetic substance included in the bank note P, and the like. Based on the information read by each sensor, the determination unit 65 described later determines the characteristics of the banknote P as described above.

  In the supply unit 4 of the sorting and accumulating apparatus 1A, a plurality of banknotes P with the front and back and the top and bottom separated are set. For this reason, each banknote P which passes the detection part 30 is also in the state where the front and back and the top and bottom are scattered. Here, there are four types of orientations related to the front and back of the banknote P passing through the detection unit 30 and the top and bottom. In the following description, the bank note P taken out with the surface facing upward and facing the upper end with respect to the front in the transport direction is referred to as a front (FF) bill, and the front surface faces upward and the lower end with respect to the front in the transport direction. The banknotes P that are taken out toward the front are referred to as front and bottom (FR) tickets, and the banknotes P that are taken out with the back facing upward and facing the top in the transport direction are referred to as backside (BF) tickets. The banknote P taken out with the back side facing upward and the lower end facing the front in the conveying direction is referred to as a backside (BR) ticket. That is, the banknotes P that are transported through the detection unit 30 are transported in any one of these four types of transport postures.

  A plurality of units for selectively switching the transport direction of the banknotes P on the transport path 12 extended downstream of the detection unit 30 based on the determination result of the determination unit 65 described later based on the detection result of the detection unit 30. Gates G1 to G9 are provided.

  First, the gate G1 sorts the banknotes P into those that can be processed later and those that are rejected. For example, the banknote P determined by the determination unit 65 to be incapable of subsequent processing is conveyed to the reject box 32 (rightward in the figure) via the gate G1. Examples of banknotes that cannot be processed later include banknotes that have been determined to be picked up, banknotes that have been determined to have greatly skewed beyond a predetermined level, or genuine tickets that can be recirculated. There are non-determined slips and counterfeits.

  On the other hand, the banknote P determined by the determination unit 65 as being capable of subsequent processing is conveyed to the gate G2 (left direction in the figure) via the gate G1. The gate G2 distributes banknotes P according to the front and back sides. The conveyance path on the downstream side of the gate G2 is branched in two directions. That is, the gate G2 selectively switches the conveyance direction of the banknotes P to two directions according to the front and back states.

  A front / back reversing mechanism 34 (front / back reversing part) for reversing the front and back of the banknote P is provided on one conveyance path branched on the downstream side of the gate G2. Further, the other conveyance path 36 branched on the downstream side of the gate G2 is merely a conveyance path through which the bank note P passes without changing the front and back of the bank note P. That is, the front and back of the banknote P can be arranged at the subsequent stage of the gate G2.

  The front / back reversing mechanism 34 is composed of two sets of conveying belts 33 and 35. The conveyance belts 33 and 35 form a torsion conveyance path rotated by 180 ° around the central axis from the entrance to the exit. Therefore, the banknotes P distributed to the front / back reversing mechanism 34 by the gate G2 are reversed. For example, the FF ticket is reversed by the front / back reversing mechanism 34 and reversed to a BF ticket with the back side up.

  The banknotes P that have been turned upside down through the front / back reversing mechanism 34 and the banknotes P that have passed through the transport path (transport path) 36 without passing through the front / back reversing mechanism 34 both pass through the junction 38. It is sent to the gate G3.

  The processing time (carrying time) of the banknote P from the gate G2 via the front / back reversing mechanism 34 to the junction 38 is the same as the conveyance time of the banknote P from the gate G2 via the conveyance path 36 to the junction 38. It is set to be. Thereby, the banknote P conveyed via the front / back reversing mechanism 34 and the banknote P passed through the conveyance path 36 pass through the junction 38 at the same timing. As a result, all banknotes P are matched with the BF ticket and sent to the gate G3.

  The gate G3 sorts the banknotes P that have passed through the junction 38. The conveyance path on the downstream side of the gate G3 is branched in two directions. The gate G3 selectively switches the conveyance direction of the banknotes P in two directions according to the type (or state) of the banknotes P.

  One conveyance path branched on the downstream side of the gate G3 is a conveyance path for conveying the banknote P to the sealing device 1B. The other conveyance path (horizontal conveyance path) 40 branched on the downstream side of the gate G3 is a conveyance path for accumulating the banknotes P in the accumulation boxes 41 to 46 in the sorting and accumulating apparatus 1A. The conveyance path extended in the substantially horizontal direction is formed above the stacks 41-46.

  Banknotes P are supplied to the sealing device 1B through a conveyance path branched in the left direction in the figure by the gate G3 of the sorting and accumulating device 1A. The banknote P supplied from the sorting and accumulating device 1A is selectively switched between two transport directions by the gate G4 in the sealing device 1B. The banknotes P branched and conveyed by the gate G4 are selectively accumulated in the accumulation box 51 or the accumulation box 52 in the sealing device 1B.

  The banknotes P accumulated in any of the accumulation boxes 51 or 52 through the gate G4 are sent to the sealing mechanism 54 by the supply unit 53. The sealing mechanism 54 seals a predetermined number of banknotes P supplied by the supply unit 53 with a paper band supplied from the band supply unit 56. A bundle of banknotes P sealed every predetermined number is carried out of the apparatus via a conveyor (not shown).

  The sorting and accumulating apparatus 1A supplies a specific ticket type to the sealing apparatus 1B based on the contents set in advance. Therefore, the sealing device 1B seals the banknote of a specific bill type supplied from the sorting and accumulating device 1A. Moreover, banknotes P of the ticket types other than the ticket types to be sealed by the sealing device 1B are stacked in any of the stackers 41 to 46 in the sorting and stacking device 1A.

  The discriminating unit 65 functions as a discriminating unit, and discriminates the authenticity and banknote type of the banknote P based on the detection result of the detecting unit 30. The discriminating unit 65 discriminates the authenticity and type of the banknote P by comparing the physical characteristics read by each sensor with the reference physical characteristics. The determination unit 65 sends the determination result of the bank note P based on the detection result of the detection unit 30 to the control unit 60 and counts the determined bank note P for each type based on the determination result of the bank note P. The count result is sent to the control unit 60.

  Furthermore, the discrimination unit 65 discriminates the front, back, top, bottom, correct ticket, and damaged ticket of the banknote P. A regular ticket is a ticket that can be recirculated, and a non-performing ticket is a ticket that cannot be recirculated. In other words, whether it is a correct ticket or a damaged ticket is determined based on whether the state (quality) of the banknote P is good or bad. The discriminating unit 65 discriminates whether the banknote P is a correct ticket or a damaged ticket depending on the degree of dirt, tearing, folding, paper quality, tape application, or the like.

  The jam detection unit 66 detects whether or not a jam has occurred in the banknote P being conveyed based on detection signals from the shift sensors SS,... That also serve as a plurality of jam detection sensors. For example, when the shift sensor continuously detects the banknote P for a predetermined time or more, it is determined that a jam has occurred, and a determination signal (detection signal) is sent to the control unit 60.

The storage unit 71 stores an operation program executed by the control unit 70. The gate control unit 72 drives and controls the gate G4 based on the control of the control unit 70.

The control system of the terminal device 2 includes a control unit 80, a storage unit 81, a display unit 82, an operation unit 83, and the like.
The control unit 80 controls the entire terminal device 2 in accordance with a preset operation program. For example, the control unit 80 has a function of performing various operation settings for the sorting and accumulating apparatus 1A based on an operation instruction from the operator. The storage unit 81 also functions as a buffer memory that temporarily stores data being processed by the control unit 80.

  The storage unit 81 stores an operation program executed by the control unit 80. The operation program includes various display screens (display data) displayed on the display unit 82. In addition, the storage unit 81 is used for collecting processing data and the like. For example, the storage unit 81 aggregates the processing results obtained by the respective paper sheet processing apparatuses 1 to create and store a database.

Further, the storage unit 81 stores in advance a still image or a moving image indicating a coping method for jam processing in each conveyance path (the conveyance path 12, the front / back reversing mechanism 34, the conveyance path 36, etc.) that conveys the banknote P. In addition, a still image or a moving image indicating a detailed handling method corresponding to each banknote for jam processing is also stored in advance. Here, the still image or moving image indicating the coping method is the removal method and moving method of the banknote P. The still image or moving image display unit 82 is an operation guide for the operator based on the display control of the control unit 80, and It displays a still image or a moving image for jam processing, and is composed of a liquid crystal display device or the like. The operation unit 83 is used by an operator to input an operation instruction, and includes an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse.

  The display unit 82 and the operation unit 83 may be configured by a liquid crystal display device with a built-in touch panel, for example. Furthermore, the display unit 82 and the operation unit 83 may be configured by integrating a liquid crystal display device with a built-in touch panel and an input device such as a keyboard.

  Next, the flow of operations centering on jam processing in such a configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  When the banknotes P are set in the supply unit 4 and the sorting process is started, the banknotes P set in the supply unit 4 are taken one by one and conveyed on the conveyance path 12 (step S1). The conveyance control unit 63 controls the conveyance of the banknotes P while sequentially grasping the position of each banknote P being conveyed by a plurality of shift sensors SS,. (Step S2).

  The detection unit 30 detects various feature information from the banknotes P being conveyed, and sends the characteristic information to the determination unit 65. The determination unit 65 determines the characteristics of the banknote P as described above. The discriminating unit 65 discriminates the type of banknote P based on the detected feature information, sends the discrimination result to the control unit 60, and counts the discriminated banknote P for each type based on the discrimination result. Then, the count result is sent to the control unit 60 (step S3).

  Based on the type of banknote P discriminated by the discriminating unit 65, the control unit 60 uses the conveyance control unit 63 and the gate control unit 64 to convey the conveyance path 12, the front / back reversing mechanism 34, the conveyance path 36, the conveyance path 40, and the like. By controlling each transport path and each gate G1-G9, the banknotes P are classified into any of the stacks 41 to 46 corresponding to each type.

  Cameras C1, C2, and C3 provided on each conveyance path 12, front / back reversing mechanism 34, and conveyance path 36 include images of a predetermined range of the conveyance path corresponding to the installation location (including banknotes within the predetermined range to be conveyed). Image) is always taken and sent to the image input unit 67 (step S4).

  The jam detecting unit 66 detects whether or not a jam has occurred in the banknote P being conveyed based on detection signals from the plurality of shift sensors SS,. For example, if the shift sensor continuously detects the banknote P for a predetermined time or more, it is determined that a jam has occurred, and a determination signal (detection signal) is sent to the control unit 60 (step S5). .

  When the jam of the banknote P is detected, the control unit 60 uses the position information of the banknote P obtained from the conveyance control unit 63 to display an image of the jam occurrence location via the image input unit 67 and the cameras C1, C2. , C3 and send it to the terminal device 2 (step S6). The control unit 80 of the terminal device 2 displays the sent image of the jam occurrence location on the display unit 82 (step S7).

  At this time, when the jam occurs, the control unit 80 of the terminal device 2 displays the jam occurrence position so that the banknote P that has been counted by the determination unit 65 can be distinguished from the banknote P that has not yet been completed. A predetermined frame or a specific color is displayed on the banknote P in the image (step S8). As a result, the operator can easily distinguish between the banknote P to be processed again and the confirmed banknote P.

  In addition, the control unit 80 reads out a still image or a moving image indicating a handling method for jam processing stored in the storage unit 81 and displays it on the display unit 82 simultaneously with the image from the camera (step S9). In this case, for example, a still image or a moving image indicating a handling method for the jam processing may be simultaneously displayed as a small screen in a specific area of the display unit 82, or may be switched to an image from the camera instead of being displayed simultaneously. You may make it do.

  Thereby, the operator can easily understand the handling method of the banknote P in the paper sheet processing apparatus by visually observing the still image or the moving image showing the handling method displayed on the display unit 82.

  Here, when the operator selects one banknote P to be jammed by using a mouse or the like in the operation unit 83 for each banknote P indicated by a frame or a color on the display unit 82. (Step S <b> 10), the control unit 80 reads out a still image or a moving image showing a detailed handling method corresponding to each banknote corresponding to the banknote P stored in the storage unit 81 and displays the display unit 82. Are displayed simultaneously with the image from the camera (step S11). In this case, a still image or a moving image showing a detailed handling method corresponding to each banknote for jam processing may be displayed simultaneously with an image from the camera instead of the image displayed in step S9, for example. Alternatively, it may be switched to an image from the camera instead of simultaneously, and displayed.

  The operator can understand in detail the removal method and the movement method corresponding to each banknote by visually observing the still image or moving image showing the coping method displayed on the display unit 82. For example, it may indicate that it is better to remove the banknote from the table, or that it is better to remove the banknote after turning the conveyor belt.

  The operator visually observes a still image or a moving image showing the coping method displayed on the display unit 82, and performs jam processing corresponding to the bank note P accordingly (step S12).

  When the jam processing is completed, the control unit 60 of the sorting and accumulating device 1A checks the detection signal from the jam detection unit 66 to check whether or not the jam occurrence point has disappeared (step S13). If there is a jam, the process returns to step S7 and the same operation is repeated. If there is no jammed portion, the process is terminated.

Next, the main part of the jam processing according to the present embodiment will be described in more detail with a specific example.
For example, as shown in FIG. 4, banknotes P are transported in the order of A, B, C, D, and E on the transport path 12, and A, B, C, and D pass through the detection unit 30. Assume that counting is performed. As described above, the position information of each banknote P is grasped by a signal from each shift sensor SS installed on the conveyance path 12 at a predetermined interval. In this state, the banknote P jams.

  FIG. 5 shows, for example, a case where the banknote P is jammed at the position E (a position before the detection unit 30). When the jam occurs, the transport path 12 is stopped, but the banknote P moves due to inertia or the like. . In the example of FIG. 5, the banknotes P are conveyed to the detection unit 30 up to F, but the actual count is up to the banknotes P of D.

  When a jam is detected, based on the position information of the banknote P obtained from the conveyance control unit 63, a jam occurs at the image of the jam occurrence location, in this example, the position E (the position before the detection unit 30). Therefore, an image (image of the jam occurrence location) corresponding to the jam occurrence location is displayed on the display unit 82 of the terminal device 2. FIG. 6 shows an example of the display, which corresponds to the example of FIG. At this time, the counted banknotes P (the banknotes P of C and D) are superimposed on the banknotes P in the image of the displayed jam occurrence location, green (shaded area in the figure), uncounted banknotes P ( E, F, and G banknotes P) are displayed in red (cross hatched portions in the figure).

  As a result, the operator can easily distinguish between the banknotes P that have been counted and the banknotes P that have not been completed by visually observing this display screen. Or move to the supply unit 4.

  As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, when a bank note jam occurs and the operator performs the processing, a detailed handling that can be easily understood by the operator by having a function of visually indicating the handling method. A method can be shown and throughput can be improved.

  Also, when a banknote jam occurs and the operator performs the processing, the operator can easily identify the jam occurrence location and check the situation by displaying the actual image of the jam occurrence location.

  In addition, when a banknote jam occurs and the operator handles it, it has the function to show how to deal with each banknote as a still image or video, so that it is optimal for each banknote. A simple jam processing can be understood and executed by the operator.

  Furthermore, when a banknote jam occurs and the operator handles the banknote, the operator has a function to show a coping method for each banknote using an actual image. Jam processing can be performed in which only the ticket is reprocessed.
