Then, when the identification unit reads the serial number of the foreign banknote in the reprocessing after the one identification process, the control unit adds the identification result by the identification unit of the banknote block corresponding to the serial number, and The identification result of the identification process is corrected. Therefore, in one identification process, the identification result by the identification unit of the banknote block corresponding to the foreign banknote for which the serial number could be read, and the serial number could not be read once, and the serial number could be read by reprocessing. The identification result by the identification part of the banknote block corresponding to a foreign currency banknote can be put together.

It is the schematic block diagram which looked at the banknote processing apparatus which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention from the front side. It is a perspective view which shows the banknote processed with the banknote processing apparatus which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. It is a front view which shows the foreign banknote used with the banknote processing apparatus which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. It is a graph which shows an example of the data memorize | stored in the memory | storage part of the banknote processing apparatus which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention.

  A banknote handling apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The banknote processing apparatus 11 according to the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1 performs identification processing for various circulation banknotes in a predetermined country as a processing target. As the identification processing, the banknote S to be processed is identified and denominated. The process of counting and calculating the total amount is performed. This banknote processing apparatus 11 is used, for example, to collate the total amount on the sales slip and the actual total amount.

  The banknote handling apparatus 11 is provided at a lower portion of the right side surface and opens to the right side, and a reject portion 13 that is also provided at an intermediate portion in the vertical direction of the right side surface and opens to the right side. And a plurality of (specifically, twelve) stacking portions 14 which are disposed on the left side of the portion 12 and the reject portion 13 and open to the front surface of the apparatus. The take-in unit 12 is provided with a set detection sensor 15 that detects whether or not the banknote S is set.

  The take-in unit 12 is set with the banknotes S stacked in the vertical direction, and the take-in unit 12 separates and feeds out the set banknotes S one by one from the bottom one. It takes in in the banknote processing apparatus 11. Inside the banknote processing device 11, a transport unit 21 that transports the banknote S captured by the capturing unit 12, and an identification unit 22 that counts while identifying the denomination and the like of the banknote S being transported by the transport unit 21. Is provided.

  The transport unit 21 alternatively distributes the banknotes S to the reject unit 13 and the plurality of stacking units 14 based on the identification result of the identification unit 22. The transport unit 21 includes a transport path 25 that is disposed in an appropriate manner so as to connect the sections and transports the banknote S, and a plurality of sorting sections 26 that are provided at each branch position of the transport path 25 and sort the banknote S. Have.

  The reject unit 13 excludes the rejected banknotes S identified by the identifying unit 22 as being other than normal banknotes out of the banknote processing apparatus 11 from the banknote processing apparatus 11 out of the banknotes S taken into the banknote processing apparatus 11. Is. The reject unit 13 accumulates the reject banknotes S fed out from the transport unit 21 from the bottom to the top in the feed order (in other words, the fetch order of the fetch unit 12).

  Among the banknotes S, the plurality of stacking units 14 out of the banknote processing apparatus 11 receives the normal banknotes S identified as normal by the identification section 22 among the banknotes S taken into the banknote processing apparatus 11 by the capturing section 12. It is collected so that it can be taken out. Each of the plurality of stacking units 14 stacks the banknotes S fed out from the transport unit 21 from the bottom to the top in the feeding order (in other words, the loading order of the loading unit 12). Here, the normal banknote S is a banknote S to be processed by the banknote processing apparatus 11 as a matter of course.

  An operation display unit 31 (input means) that receives an operation input and displays information is provided on the front surface of the banknote handling apparatus 11. In addition, a control unit 32 (discriminating unit) that controls each unit and a storage unit 33 that stores master data serving as a reference for identification, data of identification count results, and the like are provided inside the banknote processing apparatus 11. .

  As shown in FIG. 2, the banknote handling apparatus 11 can process a plurality of banknote blocks B in which a plurality of banknotes S are continuously accumulated in the thickness direction and are grouped together. One bill block B is set, for example, in units of account numbers.

  And the banknote processing apparatus 11 which concerns on this embodiment is different from the issuing country of the banknote S of the process target which will be mainly contained in the banknote block B as a partition sheet for judging the boundary of each banknote block B. The country's foreign banknote S1 can be used. Therefore, the identification part 22 can recognize the foreign country banknote S1, and can read the serial number attached | subjected to the foreign country banknote S1. In other words, the identification unit 22 identifies the banknote S captured by the capture unit 12 and the foreign currency banknote S1 which is a partition sheet.

  The control unit 32 recognizes each banknote block B based on the serial number of the foreign banknote S1 read by the identification unit 22. And the control part 32 acquires the identification result information for every banknote block B calculated based on the serial number of the foreign banknote S1 based on the identification result of the identification part 22. FIG. Here, the serial number attached | subjected to the banknote S is attached | subjected to all the banknotes S on the one-on-one basis, and, thereby, all the banknotes S can be distinguished from the other banknotes S.

  For example, when the US dollar bill whose US is the issuing country is the banknote S to be processed, the yen bill whose Japanese country is the issuing country is the foreign currency S1, and the yen banknote is distinguished from the banknote block B. It can be used as a sheet. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, yen banknotes such as 10,000 yen banknotes with “AB123456A” as serial number D are foreign banknotes S1 that can be used as a partition sheet.

  In addition to the reject banknote S identified as a non-normal banknote by the above-described identification unit 22, the control unit 32 causes the transport unit 21 to transport the foreign banknote S <b> 1 as a partition sheet to the reject unit 13. Therefore, the reject unit 13 excludes the reject banknote S identified as other than the normal banknote by the identification unit 22 and the foreign banknote S1 as a partition sheet so as to be able to be taken out of the banknote processing apparatus 11.

  In the banknote processing apparatus 11 according to the present embodiment, immediately before the front side of the take-in portion 12 (the lower side in the set state on the take-in portion 12) of the take-in portion 12, which is one of the both outer sides of each banknote block B. An exotic banknote S1 as a partition sheet for identifying the banknote block B immediately after the position is arranged only at the position. That is, the foreign currency banknote S1 is used as a start card for identifying the starting edge of each banknote block B. In addition, not only this but as an end card for identifying the banknote block B of the last position only in the position immediately after the back side (upper side in the set state to the taking-in part 12) of each banknote block B The foreign banknote S1 may be arranged. Alternatively, the foreign banknote S1 may be arranged as a start card and an end card for identifying the start and end of each of the banknote blocks B on both front and rear sides in the taking direction of each banknote block B.

  The control unit 32 displays a selection screen for performing identification processing or input processing on the standby screen of the operation display unit 31. When a selection operation for performing an input process is input to the selection screen, the control unit 32 causes the operation display unit 31 to display a display prompting input of ID information. In response to this display, when ID information is input by reading an ID card, inputting a numerical value of an ID number, or the like, the control unit 32 performs an input process in which the input ID information is stored in the storage unit 33 in advance. It is determined whether it is in the permission number group. If the input ID information is in the input process permission number group, the control unit 32 executes the input process. On the other hand, if the input ID information is not in the input process permission number group, an error display is displayed and the operation is performed. The display unit 31 is returned to the standby screen.

  In the input process, the control unit 32 inputs the serial number D of the foreign banknote S1 used as the partition sheet to the operation display unit 31 and the total amount of the banknote block B subjected to the identification process in association with the serial number D. And a display prompting the user to input the account number to which the total amount of the banknote block B is transferred are displayed. Thereby, the operator picks up arbitrarily from a plurality of foreign banknotes S1 prepared to be used as a partition sheet, and inputs the serial number D and the identification process in association with the serial number D. The operation display unit 31 is inputted with the total amount of the banknote block B and the account number of the transfer destination of the total amount of the banknote block B. That is, the serial number D and the total amount corresponding thereto are input to the operation display unit 31. Here, the total amount to be input is the total amount described in a slip attached in a one-to-one correspondence with each banknote block B, and the account number is also described in the same slip.

  The input of the serial number D, the input of the total amount of the banknote block B for which the identification process is performed in association with the serial number D, and the input of the account number of the transfer destination of the total amount of the banknote block B are operated. When it is performed on the display unit 31, the control unit 32 has a block identification number that is an identification of the banknote block B corresponding to the serial number D with another banknote block B, and the stacking unit 14 that corresponds to the block identification number. A stacking unit identification number that is an identification with another stacking unit 14 is set. The stacking unit identification number is a stacking destination after the processing of the banknote block B having the corresponding block identification number. The input of the serial number D, the input of the total amount of the banknote block B for which the identification process is performed in association with the serial number D, and the input of the account number of the transfer destination of the total amount of the banknote block B are displayed as operations. When the process is performed in the unit 31, the control unit 32 displays the serial number D, the block identification number, the stacking unit identification number, the total amount and the account number, and the account holder name calculated from the account number.

  For example, as shown in the upper part of FIG. 4, when “AA100001A” is input as the serial number D, the control unit 32 assigns, for example, “B01” as a block identification number corresponding to the serial number “AA100001A”. For example, “E01” is assigned as the stacking unit identification number to the block identification number “B01”. Then, “8655 dollars” is input as the total amount of the banknote block B to be identified in association with the serial number “AA100001A”, and “AAAAAAA” is the transfer destination account number of the total amount of the banknote block B. When input, the control unit 32 includes the serial number “AA100001A”, the block identification number “B02”, the stacking unit identification number “E01”, the total amount “$ 8655”, the account number “AAAAAAA”, the account The account holder name “XXXXXXX” determined from the number “AAAAAAA” is displayed on the operation display unit 31 and a display for prompting the input of a confirmation operation for confirming these inputs is displayed on the operation display unit 31. When a confirmation operation is input to the display of the operation display unit 31, the control unit 32 associates and stores the information in the storage unit 33 and inputs the next serial number D, the total amount, and the account number. The operation display unit 31 displays a display prompting the user to select whether to complete the input process. Therefore, the storage unit 33 stores the corresponding serial number D and the total amount input to the operation display unit 31 in association with each other.

  When the selection operation for inputting the next serial number D, the total amount, and the account number is input to the operation display unit 31, the control unit 32 displays the serial number of the foreign currency bill S1 on the operation display unit 31 as described above. A display prompting input of D, input of the total amount of the banknote block B for which identification processing is performed in association with the serial number D, and input of the account number of the transfer destination of the total amount of the banknote block B is displayed. It will be. Thus, the operator arbitrarily picks up the plurality of foreign banknotes S1, inputs the serial number D, and the total amount of the banknote block B in which identification processing is performed in association with the serial number D. And the input of the account number to which the total amount of the banknote block B is transferred are input to the operation display unit 31.

  For example, as shown in the middle part of FIG. 4, when “AA111101A” is input as the serial number D, the control unit 32 assigns, for example, “B02” as a block identification number corresponding to the serial number “AA111101A”. For example, “E02” is assigned as the stacking unit identification number to the block identification number “B02”. Then, “10251 dollars” is input as the total amount of the banknote block B to be identified in association with the serial number “AA111101A”, and “BBBBBBB” is the transfer destination account number of the total amount of the banknote block B. When input, the control unit 32 includes the serial number “AA111101A”, the block identification number “B02”, the stacking unit identification number “E02”, the total amount “$ 10251”, the account number “BBBBBBB”, The account holder name “YYYYYYY” calculated from the number “BBBBBBB” is displayed on the operation display unit 31, and a display for prompting a confirmation operation for confirming these inputs is displayed on the operation display unit 31. When a confirmation operation is input to the display of the operation display unit 31, the control unit 32 associates and stores the information in the storage unit 33 and inputs the next serial number D, the total amount, and the account number. The operation display unit 31 displays a display prompting the user to select whether to complete the input process.

  When the selection operation for inputting the next serial number D, the total amount, and the account number is input to the operation display unit 31, the control unit 32 displays the serial number of the foreign currency bill S1 on the operation display unit 31 as described above. A display prompting input of D, input of the total amount of the banknote block B for which identification processing is performed in association with the serial number D, and input of the account number of the transfer destination of the total amount of the banknote block B is displayed. It will be. Thus, the operator arbitrarily picks up the plurality of foreign banknotes S1, inputs the serial number D, and the total amount of the banknote block B in which identification processing is performed in association with the serial number D. And the input of the account number to which the total amount of the banknote block B is transferred are input to the operation display unit 31.

  For example, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 4, when “AA123456A” is input as the serial number D, the control unit 32 assigns, for example, “B03” as a block identification number corresponding to the serial number “AA123456A”. For example, “E03” is assigned to the block identification number “B03” as the stacking unit identification number. Then, “11333 dollars” is input as the total amount of the banknote block B for which the identification processing is performed in association with the serial number “AA123456A”, and “CCCCCCCC” is set as the account number of the transfer destination of the total amount of the banknote block B. When input, the control unit 32, the serial number “AA123456A”, the block identification number “B03”, the stacking unit identification number “E03”, the total amount “11333”, the account number “CCCCCCC”, the account The account holder name “ZZZZZZZ” determined from the number “CCCCCCCC” is displayed on the operation display unit 31 and a display for prompting the input of a confirmation operation for confirming these inputs is displayed on the operation display unit 31. When a confirmation operation is input to the display of the operation display unit 31, the control unit 32 associates and stores the information in the storage unit 33 and inputs the next serial number D, the total amount, and the account number. The operation display unit 31 displays a display prompting the user to select whether to complete the input process.

  In response to the display prompting the operation of selecting the next serial number D, the total amount and the account number, or to complete the input process, which is performed by the operation display unit 31, a selection operation for completing the input process is performed. When performed on the operation display unit 31, the control unit 32 sets an identification process number (for example, “process number 01” shown in FIG. 4) that is an identification with another identification process, and sets this identification process number. In association, the information input in the current input process is stored in the storage unit 33. Here, for example, the identification processing number is set in ascending order from the initial value from turning on to turning off the main power of the banknote processing apparatus 11, and returns to the initial value when the main power is turned on after turning off. Further, the block identification number and the stacking unit identification number are set in ascending order from the initial value for each identification process, for example.

  Here, “E01” that is assigned first in ascending order among the stacking unit identification numbers indicates the most stacking unit 14 in the column on the most capturing unit 12 side, that is, the rightmost column, and is assigned to the second of the stacking unit identification numbers. “E02” indicates the stacking unit 14 at the second stage from the top of the column on the most capturing unit 12 side. Similarly, “E05” assigned to the fifth stacking unit identification number is the center in the left-right direction. "E12" assigned to the 12th of the stacking unit identification numbers indicates the stacking unit 14 at the bottom of the column on the side opposite to the capturing unit 12, that is, on the left side. ing.

  As described above, the control unit 32 determines whether or not the input person to the operation display unit 31 is a permitted input person, and only when the input person is a permitted input person from the determination result, The corresponding serial number D, the total amount, and the account number input to the display unit 31 are associated and stored in the storage unit 33.

  In a state where the operation display unit 31 displays a standby screen that is a selection screen for performing identification processing or input processing, a selection operation for performing identification processing is input to this selection screen. And the control part 32 displays the identification process number which can be performed in parallel, without making input of above-mentioned ID information. When a predetermined one identification process number is selected and operated on the operation display unit 31, the control unit 32 executes one identification process that is identified by the one identification process number. That is, the control unit 32 associates all combinations of the serial number D, the block identification number, the accumulation unit identification number, the total amount, the account number, and the account holder name stored in the storage unit 33 in association with the one identification process number. Is displayed on the operation display unit 31. At the same time, the control unit 32 causes the operation display unit 31 to display a display prompting the user to set the banknote S on the take-in unit 12.

  For example, in the case of the above-described input content, when “processing number 01” is selected and operated as one identification processing number, the control unit 32 executes the identification processing of processing number 01. In executing the identification process with the process number 01, first, the serial number “AA100001A” and the block identification number “B01” shown in the upper part of FIG. 4 stored in the storage unit 33 in association with the identification process number “process number 01”. Then, the stacking unit identification number “E01”, the total amount “8655”, the account number “AAAAAAA”, and the account holder name “XXXXXXX” are read and displayed on the operation display unit 31. Further, the serial number “AA111101A”, the block identification number “B02”, the stacking unit identification number “E02” shown in the middle of FIG. 4 stored in the storage unit 33 in association with the identification processing number “processing number 01”, the total The amount “10251”, the account number “BBBBBBB” and the account holder name “YYYYYYY” are read out and displayed on the operation display unit 31. Further, the serial number “AA123456A”, the block identification number “B03”, the stacking unit identification number “E03” shown in the lower part of FIG. 4 stored in the storage unit 33 in association with the identification processing number “processing number 01”, the total The money amount “11333”, the account number “CCCCCCC”, and the account holder name “ZZZZZZZ” are read from the storage unit 33 and displayed on the operation display unit 31.

  Looking at the display of all combinations of serial number D, block identification number, stacking unit identification number, total amount, account number and account holder name displayed on the operation display unit 31, the operator follows the display. The foreign banknote S1 is set in the take-in part 12 so as to be arranged on the front side in the take-in direction by the take-in part 12 of the corresponding banknote block B. That is, foreign banknote S1, banknote block B corresponding thereto, another foreign banknote S1, another banknote block B corresponding thereto, further foreign banknote S1, further banknote block B corresponding thereto, and so on. The foreign currency banknotes S1 corresponding to the lower side of each banknote block B are arranged vertically so as to be set in the take-in portion 12. At this time, it is not necessary to arrange the serial number D, the block identification number, the stacking unit identification number, the total amount, the account number, and the account holder name in the order of display, and the foreign currency banknote S1 corresponds to the banknote block B corresponding thereto. The order of the set can be set arbitrarily if it is positioned immediately before the capturing direction.

  If the above-mentioned display content is illustrated, for example, the operator, as an example, the foreign currency banknote S1 with the serial number “AA100001A” is the lowermost side, and the banknote with the block identification number “B01” corresponding to the foreign banknote S1 is provided thereon. Block B, foreign currency banknote S1 with serial number “AA111101A” thereon, banknote block B with block identification number “B02” corresponding to this foreign banknote S1, and foreign country banknote with serial number “AA123456A” The banknote S1 and the banknote block B with the block identification number “B03” corresponding to the foreign banknote S1 are sequentially stacked on the banknote S1 and set in the take-in unit 12. When the set detection sensor 15 detects that the banknote S has been set in the take-in unit 12, the control unit 32 prompts the operation display unit 31 to input an operation instruction to start processing in addition to the display illustrated in FIG. Display the display.

  Then, when an operation instruction input for starting processing is input to the operation display unit 31, the control unit 32 takes in the banknote processing apparatus 11 from the lowest banknote S by the take-in unit 12 and causes the transport unit 21 to carry it. The bill S being conveyed by the conveyance unit 21 is first identified by the identification unit 22.

  When the identification unit 22 detects the first foreign banknote S1 and reads the first serial number D, the control unit 32 rejects the first foreign banknote S1 on which the first serial number D is written. Transport to. The identification unit 22 sequentially uses the banknotes S following the first foreign banknote S1 that has read the first serial number D as the banknotes S constituting the first banknote block B corresponding to the first serial number D. Identify. The control part 32 is the 1st stacking part corresponding to this 1st banknote block B from the banknote S which comprises the 1st banknote block B to the banknote S identified with the normal banknote from the identification result of the identification part 22. FIG. 14, the reject banknote S identified as other than the normal banknote is conveyed to the reject unit 13.

  When the identification unit 22 detects the second foreign banknote S1 next to the first foreign banknote S1 and reads the second serial number D, the control unit 32 forms the banknote S constituting the first banknote block B. And the second foreign banknote S1 on which the second serial number D is written is conveyed to the reject unit 13. The identification unit 22 sequentially uses the banknote S following the second foreign banknote S1 that has read the second serial number D as the banknote S that constitutes the second banknote block B corresponding to the second serial number D. Identify. The control part 32 is the 2nd stacking part corresponding to this 2nd serial number D about the banknote S identified as the normal banknote from the identification result of the identification part 22 among the banknotes S which comprise the 2nd banknote block B. 14 (different from the first stacking unit 14), and the reject banknote S identified as other than the normal banknote is transported to the reject unit 13. Such a process is performed for all banknotes S set in the take-in unit 12. That is, the control unit 32 accumulates the banknotes S identified as normal banknotes by denomination in the individual stacking unit 14 for each banknote block B.

  For example, if the above-mentioned display content is illustrated, when the identification unit 22 detects the foreign banknote S1 and reads the serial number “AA100001A”, the control unit 32 rejects the foreign banknote S1 with the serial number “AA100001A”. Transport to. Moreover, the control part 32 is the banknote S of block identification number "B01" for all the banknotes S immediately after the foreign banknote S1 of this serial number "AA100001A" until the next foreign banknote S1 is detected. And the banknote S identified as a normal banknote among these banknotes S is accumulated in the stacking unit 14 of the corresponding stacking unit identification number “E01”, and is identified as other than a normal banknote. Banknotes S are fed out to the reject unit 13.

  Next to the foreign banknote S1 with the serial number “AA100001A”, when the identification unit 22 detects the foreign banknote S1 and reads the serial number “AA111101A”, the control unit 32 reads the banknote block B with the block identification number “B01”. The foreign currency banknote S1 with the serial number “AA111101A” is conveyed to the reject unit 13. Moreover, the control part 32 is the banknote S of the block identification number "B02" for all the banknotes S which follow the foreign country banknote S1 of this serial number "AA111101A" and immediately before the next foreign country banknote S1 is detected. And the banknote S identified as a normal banknote among these banknotes S is accumulated in the stacking unit 14 of the corresponding stacking unit identification number “E02”, and is identified as other than a normal banknote. Banknotes S are fed out to the reject unit 13.

  When the identification unit 22 detects the foreign currency bill S1 after reading the foreign currency bill S1 with the serial number “AA111101A” and reads the serial number “AA123456A”, the control unit 32 reads the banknote block B with the block identification number “B02”. And the foreign banknote S1 with the serial number “AA123456A” is conveyed to the reject unit 13. Moreover, the control part 32 is the banknote S of the banknote block B of block identification number "B03" until it is the banknote S following the foreign country banknote S1 of this serial number "AA123456A", and the set detection sensor 15 detects no banknote. And the banknote S identified as a normal banknote among these banknotes S is accumulated in the stacking unit 14 of the corresponding stacking unit identification number “E03”, and is identified as other than a normal banknote. Banknotes S are fed out to the reject unit 13.

  And if the set detection sensor 15 detects that the banknote is no longer in the taking-in part 12, the control part 32 will be the banknote S of all the banknote blocks B relevant to one identification process which has the above-mentioned one identification process number. , And it is determined that all normal banknotes have been counted, and for each banknote block B, the total amount based on the identification of the identification unit 22 and the total amount on the slip that is input in advance and stored in the storage unit 33 And the collation result is displayed on the operation display unit 31. That is, for each banknote block B, the control unit 32 determines whether or not the total amount based on the identification count result of the identification unit 22 matches the total amount on the slip input in advance and stored in the storage unit 33. After the determination, for each banknote block B, the total amount based on the identification count result of the identification unit 22, the total amount on the slip, whether these total amounts match, the serial number D of the foreign banknote S1, and The stacking unit identification number of the stacking destination is displayed on the operation display unit 31, and one identification process is completed. In other words, the control unit 32 acquires the total amount of the banknote block B corresponding to the serial number D of the foreign currency bill S1 read by the identification unit 22 based on the identification result of the identification unit 22, and the serial number D The total amount corresponding to the serial number D that matches and is stored in the storage unit 33 is collated, and the collation result is displayed on the operation display unit 31.

  Based on the collation result displayed on the operation display unit 31, the operator uses, for example, an online terminal (not shown) to deposit the money on the slip of each banknote block B into the account of the corresponding account number. Will do. Of course, it is also possible for the control unit 32 to deposit the amount on the slip of each banknote block B to the account of the corresponding account number with the approval operation to the operation display unit 31.

  For example, if the display content mentioned above is illustrated, the control part 32 will identify with a normal banknote in the identification part 22 of the banknote S which comprises the banknote block B of the block identification number "B01" relevant to serial number "AA100001A". It is determined whether or not the total amount based on the identification count result of the identification unit 22 of the bill S and the total amount on the slip stored in the storage unit 33 in association with the serial number “AA100001A” matches. For example, when the total amount based on the identification count result of the identification unit 22 is “$ 8655”, the total amount “$ 8655” on the slip stored in the storage unit 33 matches, so the control unit 32 determines the identification count. The operation display unit displays the result “$ 8655”, the total amount “$ 8655” on the slip, the fact that they match, the serial number “AA100001A”, and the stacking unit identification number “E01”. 31 is displayed.

  Moreover, the control part 32 of the identification part 22 of the banknote S identified with the normal banknote by the identification part 22 of the banknotes S which comprise the banknote block B of the block identification number "B02" relevant to serial number "AA111101A". It is determined whether or not the total amount based on the identification count result matches the total amount on the slip stored in the storage unit 33 in association with the serial number “AA111101A”. For example, when the total amount based on the identification count result of the identification unit 22 is “10251”, the total amount “$ 10251” on the slip stored in the storage unit 33 coincides with the control unit 32. The operation display unit displays the result “10251”, the total amount “10251” on the slip, the fact that they match, the serial number “AA111101A”, and the stacking unit identification number “E02”. 31 is displayed.

  Moreover, the control part 32 of the identification part 22 of the banknote S identified with the normal banknote by the identification part 22 of the banknotes S which comprise the banknote block B of the block identification number "B03" relevant to serial number "AA123456A". It is determined whether or not the total amount based on the identification count result matches the total amount on the slip stored in the storage unit 33 in association with the serial number “AA123456A”. For example, when the total amount based on the identification count result of the identification unit 22 is “11332 dollars”, the total amount “11333” on the slip stored in the storage unit 33 does not match. The result “$ 11332”, the total amount “11333” on the slip, the fact that they do not match, the serial number “AA123456A”, and the stacking unit identification number “E03” of the stacking destination are displayed. This is displayed on the unit 31.

  Here, the reject banknote S1 and the reject banknote S are accumulated in order from the bottom in the reject unit 13, and the operator determines whether or not the reject banknote S is on the foreign banknote S1 with the serial number “AA123456A”. Check visually. If the reject banknote S is present and is a normal 1-dollar banknote, it is determined that the actual total amount of the banknote block B matches the total amount on the slip.

  When the identification unit 22 detects the foreign banknote S1 during the above-described identification process, but the serial number D cannot be read, the control unit 32 controls the foreign banknote S1 and the banknote block corresponding thereto. All the banknotes B are conveyed to the reject unit 13. That is, all the banknotes between the foreign banknote S1 for which the serial number D could not be read and the foreign banknote S1 detected by the identification unit 22 next are conveyed to the reject unit 13.

  When the set detection sensor 15 detects that the banknote S related to one identification process having one identification process number is no longer in the take-in unit 12, the control unit 32 has one identification process having one identification process number. Exit. At this time, when there is the foreign banknote S1 that has been transported to the reject unit 13 as described above and has not been able to read the serial number D and the banknote S of the banknote block B corresponding thereto, the control unit 32 A display for prompting resetting to the take-in unit 12 is displayed. Then, the operator takes out the banknote S of the banknote block B and the lower foreign banknote S1 adjacent to the banknote B, and takes them in a posture in which the foreign banknote S1 is on the lower side and the banknote block B is on the upper side. Set in the insert section 12. When the set detection sensor 15 detects that the banknote S has been set in the take-in unit 12, the control unit 32 causes the operation display unit 31 to display a display for prompting an operation instruction to start reprocessing in addition to the above display. .

  When an operation instruction input for starting reprocessing is input to the operation display unit 31, the control unit 32 restarts one identification process having one identification process number once completed. The take-in unit 12 takes in the banknote processing apparatus 11 from the lowest banknote S and causes the carrying unit 21 to carry it. And if the identification part 22 detects foreign country banknote S1 and reads the serial number D, the control part 32 will convey the foreign country banknote S1 in which this serial number D was described to the rejection part 13. FIG. The identification part 22 identifies sequentially the banknote S following the foreign country banknote S1 which read this serial number D as the banknote S which comprises the banknote block B corresponding to this serial number D. FIG. The control part 32 will accumulate | stack the banknote S identified with the normal banknote from the identification result of the identification part 22 among the banknotes S which comprise the banknote block B on the stacking part 14 corresponding to this serial number D, and is normal. The reject banknote S identified as other than a banknote is conveyed to the reject unit 13.

  And if the set detection sensor 15 detects that the banknote is no longer in the taking-in part 12, the control part 32 will be the banknote S of all the banknote blocks B relevant to one identification process which has the above-mentioned one identification process number. For each banknote block B, the total amount based on the identification of the identification unit 22 is compared with the total amount on the slip input in advance and stored in the storage unit 33, and the verification result Is displayed on the operation display unit 31, and the one identification process is finished again. That is, the control part 32 was the one identification process which identifies the banknote S of the several banknote block B continuously, and the identification part 22 was not able to read the serial number D of the foreign banknote S1 of the taking-in direction front of the banknote block B. In this case, the foreign currency banknote S1 and the banknote S of the banknote block B corresponding to the foreign currency banknote S are all conveyed to the reject unit 13, and the identification unit 22 assigns the serial number D of the foreign currency banknote S1 in the reprocessing after one identification process. When read, the identification result of the identification unit 22 of the banknote block B corresponding to the serial number D is added to correct the identification result of one identification process.

  According to the invention relating to the banknote handling apparatus 11 according to the present embodiment described above, the foreign currency banknote S1 of an issuing country different from the issuing country of the banknote S to be processed, which is identified as a normal banknote by the identification unit 22, is a partition sheet. Can be used as And the banknote block B formed by stacking the banknotes S to be processed is set in the take-in section 12 together with the foreign banknotes S1 arranged on at least one of the both sides of the banknote block B in the stacking direction. The identification unit 22 identifies the banknote S to be processed and the foreign banknote S1 captured by the insertion unit 12. The identification unit 22 can read the serial number D attached to the foreign banknote S1, and the control unit 32 recognizes the banknote block B based on the serial number D of the foreign banknote S1 read by the identification unit 22. Then, the stacking unit 14 stacks the banknotes S identified as normal banknotes by the identifying unit 22, while the reject unit 13 excludes the reject banknotes S and foreign banknotes S1 that are identified as other than normal banknotes. In the meantime, the control part 32 acquires the identification result information for every banknote block B calculated | required by foreign country banknote S1 based on the identification result of the identification part 22. FIG. That is, the foreign banknote S1 can be used as a partition sheet. Therefore, since it is not necessary to create a dedicated partition sheet only for recognizing the banknote block B, an increase in cost can be suppressed.

  Further, when the serial number D and the total amount corresponding to the serial number D are input to the operation display unit 31, the storage unit 33 stores the input corresponding serial number D and the total amount in association with each other. And the control part 32 acquires the sum total amount of the banknote block B corresponding to the serial number D of the foreign country banknote S1 read by the identification part 22 based on the identification result of the identification part 22, and the said serial number D and one. Then, the total amount corresponding to the serial number D stored in the storage unit 33 is collated. Thereby, the total amount based on the actual identification result and the total amount on the input slip can be collated with respect to the banknote block B corresponding to the serial number D that matches each other.

  Further, when the control unit 32 determines whether or not the input person to the operation display unit 31 is a permitted input person, and when the input person is a permitted input person from the determination result of the control unit 32. As long as the corresponding serial number D and the total amount input to the operation display unit 31 are stored in the storage unit 33 in association with each other. For this reason, only the authorized input person can store the serial number D and the total amount in the storage unit 33. On the other hand, the control unit 32 enables any operator to execute the identification process, so that troublesome operator identification is not required when performing the identification process. That is, the input processing work and the identification processing work can be shared by workers according to each work, and the work efficiency is good.

  Moreover, since the control part 32 will accumulate | store the banknote S identified as the normal banknote by the identification part 22 on the separate stacking part 14 for every banknote block B, the normal banknote after identification in the identification part 22 is a banknote. It can be easily taken out for each block B. In addition, even when a jam occurs and the transport unit 21 stops, it is clear which banknote S is jammed to which stacking unit 14, that is, which banknote block B is jammed. Therefore, the recovery work from the jam becomes easy.

  Moreover, when the identification part 22 cannot read the serial number D of the foreign banknote S1 arrange | positioned in the taking-in direction front side of the banknote block B, the control part 32 is the banknote B of the said foreign banknote S1 and this corresponding banknote block B All S is conveyed to the reject unit 13. Thereby, foreign currency banknote S1 which could not read serial number D, and banknote S of banknote block B corresponding to this can be put together in reject part 13. Therefore, the subsequent handling of the foreign banknote S1 in which the serial number D cannot be read and the banknote S of the banknote block B corresponding thereto is facilitated.

  Moreover, when the identification part 22 cannot read the serial number D of the foreign banknote S1 arrange | positioned by the one identification process which identifies the banknote S of the several banknote block B continuously in the taking-in direction of the banknote block B. The control unit 32 conveys all the foreign banknote S1 and the banknote S of the banknote block B corresponding to the foreign banknote S1 to the reject unit 13. And if the identification part 22 reads the serial number D of a foreign country banknote by the reprocessing after said one identification process by the control part 32, the identification result by the identification part 22 of the banknote block B corresponding to the said serial number D will be shown. In addition, the identification result of the one identification process is corrected. Therefore, in one identification process, the identification result by the identification unit 22 of the banknote block B corresponding to the foreign banknote S1 from which the serial number D can be read, and the serial number D cannot be read once, and the serial number is reprocessed. The identification result by the identification part 22 of the banknote block B corresponding to the foreign country banknote S1 which can read D can be put together.
