<First Embodiment>
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing a configuration of a paper sheet processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. This figure shows an arrangement example of each part when the sheet processing apparatus is viewed from the front. The upper part of the figure corresponds to the upper part of the paper sheet processing apparatus. The paper sheet processing apparatus 11 performs predetermined processing on paper sheets such as banknotes, gift certificates, and partition cards to be applied.

As shown in FIG. 1, the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 includes a loading unit 12 having a loading port 12 </ b> A that is provided on the right side surface thereof and opens to the right side, and a reject pocket unit 13 positioned above the loading unit 12. And a plurality of integrated pocket portions 14 (three locations in the example of FIG. 1) that are arranged on the left side of the input portion 12 and the reject pocket portion 13 and open to the front of the apparatus.
The input port 12A of the input unit 12 is open at the front and the upper side, and an integrated space in which the paper sheets input via the input port 12A are stacked vertically inside the input unit 12. A portion 15 is formed.

  Inside the sheet processing apparatus 11, a take-in and transport unit 16 is provided on the lower left side of the input unit 12, and an identification unit 17 is provided on the left side of the take-in and transport unit 16. A line L11 indicates a transport path for paper sheets, and the stacking space section 15, the capture transport section 16, and the identification section 17 are arranged in this order along the transport path. The take-in conveyance unit 16 separates the paper sheets set in the accumulation space unit 15 one by one from the bottom one, and takes them into the apparatus. The identification unit 17 identifies the paper sheet being conveyed by the take-in conveyance unit 16, and performs counting while identifying the denomination and the like of the processing target paper sheet.

In the conveyance path indicated by the line L11, the vertical conveyance unit 18 and the distribution conveyance unit 19 are further provided in this order after the identification unit 17.
The vertical conveyance unit 18 conveys the paper sheet that has been processed by the identification unit 17 to the upper position via the rear part. The sorting and transporting unit 19 transports the paper sheets and operates a sorting unit (not shown) in the middle based on the identification result of the identifying unit 17 so that the paper sheets are rejected by the reject pocket unit 13 or any of the accumulation pockets. It distributes to the part 14 alternatively.

  The reject pocket unit 13 includes reject processing target paper sheets that are identified as other than normal paper sheets by the identifying unit 17 among the processing target paper sheets taken into the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 by the input unit 12. The paper sheet is removed so that it can be taken out of the apparatus. Further, in the reject pocket section 13, the sheets fed from the sorting and conveying section 19 are stacked from the bottom to the top in the feeding order (in other words, the loading order of the input section 12).

  The plurality of stacking pocket units 14 out of the processing target paper sheets in the input unit 12 taken into the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 to the normal processing target paper sheets identified as normal by the identification unit 17 outside the apparatus. To be collected in a removable manner. Each of the plurality of stacking pocket sections 14 stacks the processing target paper sheets fed from the sorting and conveying section 19 from the bottom to the top in the feeding order (in other words, the loading order of the input section 12).

An operation instruction unit 21 that receives operation inputs and displays information is provided on the front surface of the sheet processing apparatus 11. As will be described later, the operation instruction section 21 is provided with a start button 41 and a paper sheet presser up / down button 42.
In addition, a control unit 22 that controls each unit, and a storage unit 23 that stores master data that serves as a reference for identification, identification count result data, and the like are provided inside the sheet processing apparatus 11. . The storage unit 23 is configured using a storage device provided in the paper sheet processing apparatus 11. The control unit 22 is configured using, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) provided in the paper sheet processing apparatus 11. The CPU operates as the control unit 22 by reading a program from the storage unit 23 and executing it.

Next, the configuration of the input unit 12 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the input unit 12 is provided with a paper sheet presser 31 for pressing the paper sheets S set in the accumulation space unit 15 from above.
The sheet presser 31 is provided so as to be movable in the vertical direction in the stacking space portion 15, and has an upper “retracted position” shown in FIG. 3 and a lower “lowermost position” shown in FIG. 4. To move between.
Then, the paper sheet presser 31 descends to hold the paper sheets S placed and accumulated on the bottom surface in the accumulation space unit 15 from above.

The “standby state” of the paper holder 31 when the power is turned on may be the “retracted position” shown in FIG. 3 or the “lowermost position” shown in FIG. It is.
When the paper sheet S is inserted into the stacking space 15 via the input port 12A of the input unit 12, the paper sheet holder 31 is raised to the “retracted position” as shown in FIG. .

The insertion unit 12 is provided with a gesture sensor 32 that detects the movement of a hand inserted in a predetermined space adjacent to the accumulation space unit 15. That is, the gesture sensor 32 detects the movement of the hand around the integrated space 15. The gesture sensor 32 corresponds to an example of an operation detection unit.
The gesture sensor 32 is installed outside the accumulation space 15 so as not to get in the way when the paper sheet S is set in the input unit 12.

Further, the input unit 12 is provided with a remaining amount sensor 33 for detecting whether or not the sheets S set in the accumulation space unit 15 have a certain remaining amount. The remaining amount sensor 33 corresponds to an example of a remaining amount detecting unit. The remaining amount sensor 33 may be a photo interrupter that detects the presence of an object by detecting light blocking, but is not limited thereto.
The detection outputs of the gesture sensor 32 and the remaining amount sensor 33 are taken into a paper sheet press control unit 34 (see FIG. 5) which is a part of the control unit 22.

The paper presser control unit 34 raises or lowers the paper presser 31 based on the detection outputs of the gesture sensor 32 and the remaining amount sensor 33.
Further, the paper sheet press control unit 34 determines whether or not the number of paper sheets S in the stacking space unit 15 is greater than a certain remaining amount based on the detection result of the remaining amount sensor 33. When it is determined that the number of paper sheets S in the stacking space portion 15 is greater than the predetermined remaining amount, the paper sheet press control unit 34 opens the paper sheet presser 31. Here, to release the paper sheet retainer 31 means to end the holding of the paper sheet S by the paper sheet retainer 31 by raising the paper sheet retainer 31. In this way, the paper holder control unit 34 opens the paper holder 31 when the paper S in the stacking space 15 is larger than a certain remaining amount without applying pressure to the paper S. This is because the take-in conveyance unit 16 can feed out the sheets S one by one.
On the other hand, when the paper sheet press controller 34 determines that the number of paper sheets S in the stacking space section 15 is less than a certain remaining amount, the paper sheet presser 31 is lowered to press the paper sheets S. When the paper sheet S in the stacking space portion 15 is less than a certain remaining amount, slip may occur when the paper sheet S is fed out by the take-in conveyance unit 16, and the paper sheet press control unit 34 In order to prevent this, the sheet presser 31 is lowered to apply a certain pressing force to the sheet S.

Further, the paper presser control unit 34 acquires outputs from the start button 41 and the paper presser up / down button 42 in addition to acquiring detection outputs from the gesture sensor 32 and the remaining amount sensor 33. The output of these buttons indicates whether or not the button has been pressed.
The start button 41 is a push button for starting or stopping the counting of the sheets S accumulated in the accumulation space 15 of the input unit 12.
The paper presser up / down button 42 is a push button for raising the paper presser 31 to the “retracted position” shown in FIG. 3 or lowering it to the “lowermost position” shown in FIG. 4.

  Further, the sheet presser control unit 34 includes a sheet presser drive unit 43 serving as a driver for raising or lowering the sheet presser 31, and a transport unit (the capture transport unit 16, the vertical transport unit 18, and the sorting transport unit 19). The control signal is output to the transport unit drive unit 44 which is a driver for driving the control unit).

Next, the operation of the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure executed by the paper sheet press controller 34. When the power source of the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 is connected (ON), the paper sheet press control unit 34 starts the processing in FIG.
<< Step S1 >>
In the “standby state”, the paper retainer control unit 34 determines whether the paper retainer 31 is set to the “retracted position” shown in FIG. 3 or the “lowermost position” shown in FIG. Determine. When it is determined that the “lowermost position” is set (step S1: NO), the process proceeds to step S2. If it is determined that the “retraction position” is set (step S1: YES), the process proceeds to step S3.

<< Step S2 >>
The paper presser control unit 34 drives the paper presser drive unit 43 to raise the paper presser 31 in the “lowermost position” to the “retracted position” shown in FIG. 3.

<< Step S3 >>
It waits for the paper sheet S to be set in the accumulation space 15 through the insertion port 12A of the insertion unit 12.

<< Step S4 >>
When the setting of the sheet S in step S3 is completed and the sheet presser up / down button 42 is pressed (step S4: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S5. On the other hand, when the paper sheet presser up / down button 42 is not pressed (step S4: NO), the process returns to step S3. In this case, the process waits until steps S3 to S4 are repeated until the sheet presser up / down button 42 is pressed.

<< Step S5 >>
Based on the output of the remaining amount sensor 33, the sheet presser control unit 34 determines whether or not the sheet S set in the accumulation space unit 15 of the input unit 12 is below a certain remaining amount. When it is determined that there is more than the certain remaining amount (step S5: NO), the process proceeds to step S6. On the other hand, when it determines with it being below a fixed remaining amount (step S5: YES), it progresses to step S7.

<< Step S6 >>
If it is determined in step S5 that the number of sheets S in the stacking space portion 15 is greater than a certain remaining amount based on the detection result of the remaining amount sensor 33, the sheet press control unit 34 maintains the opened state of the sheet presser 31. To do. This is because when the number of paper sheets S in the stacking space portion 15 is larger than a certain remaining amount, the take-in and transport unit 16 can feed the paper sheets S one by one without applying a pressing force to the paper sheets S.
Thereafter, when the start button 41 is pressed, the paper sheet press control unit 34 counts and classifies the paper sheets S accumulated in the accumulation space unit 15 of the input unit 12 with respect to the transport unit drive unit 44. A drive signal for outputting the signal is output.
Note that after the start button 41 is pressed, the processing is continued until an instruction to stop the counting and sorting processing of the sheets S is given to the transport unit driving unit 44.

<< Step S7 >>
The paper presser control unit 34 outputs a drive signal for lowering the paper presser 31 to the paper presser drive unit 43. As a result, the paper sheet presser 31 is lowered onto the stacked paper sheets S to apply a constant pressing force to the paper sheets S, and slips in the take-in conveyance unit 16 that occur when the paper sheets S are fed out. To prevent.

<< Step S8 >>
When the start button 41 is pressed, the sheet press control unit 34 causes the transport unit drive unit 44 to count and classify the sheets S accumulated in the accumulation space 15 of the input unit 12. The drive signal is output.

<< Step S9 >>
Based on the output of the gesture sensor 32, the paper presser control unit 34 is provided with a hand for the additional set of paper sheets S or the presence of the paper sheets S in the accumulation space 15 of the input unit 12 through the input port 12A ( It is determined whether or not (indicated by H1 in FIG. 2) has been detected. When it determines with having detected (step S9: YES), it progresses to step S10. On the other hand, when it is determined that the presence of the hand or the paper sheet S is not detected (step S9: NO), the process proceeds to step S12.

<< Step S10 >>
Assuming that a hand for adding an additional set of paper sheets S or a paper sheet S is inserted into the accumulating space section 15, the paper sheet press controller 34 counts the paper sheets S with respect to the transport section drive section 44. And a drive signal for stopping the classification process.

<< Step S11 >>
The paper presser control unit 34 outputs a drive signal for raising the paper presser 31 to the paper presser drive unit 43. After that, in step S3, an additional set of paper sheets S in the stacking space 15 of the input unit 12 is accepted.

<< Step S12 >>
When it is determined in step S9 that there is no additional sheet S set in the stacking space 15 of the input unit 12, the transport unit drive unit 44 continues the counting and sorting process of the sheet S. Do.
Thereafter, when the processing of the sheet S is continued without being ended, the process returns to the previous step S5. On the other hand, when all the processing of the paper sheet S is completed, this flow is ended.

As described above, according to the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 shown in the present embodiment, the gesture sensor 32 that detects the movement of the hand inserted in a predetermined space adjacent to the accumulation space portion 15 of the input portion 12 is used. Based on the detection result, when it is determined that the hand inserted into the stacking space unit 15 is an operation of an additional set of paper sheets S, the paper sheet presser 31 is released (see steps S9 to S11).
As a result, in the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 according to the present embodiment, the detection result of the gesture sensor 32 is obtained even if the operator does not separately operate the operation button (paper sheet up / down button 42) for raising the paper sheet presser 31. On the basis of this, the sheet presser 31 can be automatically opened. As a result, it is possible to smoothly add the paper sheet S into the input unit 12 and to prevent the paper sheet S from being taken into the apparatus.
Further, in the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 according to the present embodiment, the paper sheet presser 31 can be automatically opened based on the detection result of the gesture sensor 32, so that an operator can additionally insert the paper sheet S with one hand. The classification and counting work of the leaves S can be made efficient.

  In the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 of the present embodiment, since the gesture sensor 32 is installed in the external area of the stacking space 15 of the input unit 12, when the paper sheet S is set in the input unit 12, the gesture sensor Smooth addition of the paper sheets S can be performed without causing the 32 to get in the way.

In the above embodiment, as shown in steps S9 to S11, when it is determined that the hand inserted into the stacking space 15 is an operation of an additional set of the sheets S, the sheet retainer 31 is released. I tried to do it. Then, after the additional setting of the paper sheet S in the stacking space portion 15, the opened paper sheet presser 31 is lowered by operating the paper sheet presser up / down button 42 (see step S 4). May be performed based on the output of the gesture sensor 32.
That is, after the hand for the additional set is brought close to the insertion port 12A of the insertion unit 12, the gesture sensor 32 detects the movement of the hand moving away from the insertion port 12A. For example, the sheet pressing operation may be performed. As a result, it is possible to obtain the effect of eliminating the trouble of pressing the paper sheet presser up / down button 42 as shown in step S4.

In the above embodiment, the case where the transport unit driving unit 44 starts the classification process by pressing the count start button 41 in steps S6 and S8 in FIG. After the sheet presser 31 is operated, the classification process may be automatically started even if the start button 41 is not pressed.
As a result, the transport unit drive unit 44 automatically starts the classification process without the operator pressing the start button 41. In this respect, the efficiency can be further improved.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the transport unit driving unit 44 stops the sorting process and the paper sheet press driving unit 43 raises the paper sheet presser 31 in order to add the paper sheets in step S10 of FIG. Although the case has been described as an example, the sheet press drive unit 43 may raise the sheet presser 31 while the transport unit drive unit 44 continues the classification process. In this case, when the operation of taking the paper sheet S into the machine becomes unstable, the control unit 22 stops the classification process of the transport unit driving unit 44.
As a result, the classification process can be continued even during the additional loading of the paper sheets. In this respect, operation efficiency can be improved.

<Second Embodiment>
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The sheet processing apparatus 11 shown in the second embodiment is different from that in the first embodiment in that the gesture sensor 32 does not simply detect the loading operation of the sheet S but performs the loading operation. By comparing with reference motion data stored in advance, the closing motion can be recognized more accurately.
Specifically, after causing the storage unit 23 shown in FIG. 5 to make the gesture sensor 32 read the upward hand movement (indicated by reference numeral H2 in FIG. 7) that is the sheet S loading operation, It is stored in advance as reference operation data.
In addition, since the reference operation data is used to read an intention to start counting, an operation that does not react to the noise operation is registered in the storage unit 23.

The reference motion data stored in the storage unit 23 as described above is used in step S2 and steps S9 to S11 of the flowchart described above with reference to FIG.
That is, it is a condition that the movement of the hand inserted into the input unit 12 detected by the gesture sensor 32 matches the reference motion data in the process of raising the paper sheet presser 31 shown in steps S2 and S11. As shown in FIG. This restricts the release of the sheet presser 31 against the movement of the hand approaching other than the additional set of paper sheets S. In this respect, it is possible to prevent the paper holder 31 from malfunctioning.

  As described above, the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 shown in the second embodiment is provided with the condition that the hand movement detected by the gesture sensor 32 matches the previously stored reference motion data. 31 is released. Thereby, according to this paper sheet processing apparatus 11, with respect to the movement of the hand approached except the additional set of paper sheets S, it is controlled that the paper sheet presser 31 is released. That is, it is possible to prevent the paper holder 31 from malfunctioning.

Note that a program for realizing all or part of the functions of the control unit 22 is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded on the recording medium is read into a computer system and executed. You may perform the process of. Here, the “computer system” includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices.
The “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a storage device such as a flexible medium, a magneto-optical disk, a portable medium such as a ROM and a CD-ROM, and a hard disk incorporated in a computer system. The program may be a program for realizing a part of the functions described above, and may be a program capable of realizing the functions described above in combination with a program already recorded in a computer system.

  In addition, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the gesture sensor 32 detects the movement of the hand inserted in a predetermined space adjacent to the accumulation space unit 15, but is limited to this range. Instead, the movement of the hand inserted into at least one of the accumulation space 15 of the insertion unit 12 and the adjacent predetermined space may be detected.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and includes design changes and the like without departing from the gist of the present invention.
