In the following, the present invention will be described with reference to a header card that is stacked with bills on a mounting portion of a bill processing device for bills, a header card system using the header card, and a bill processing method.

Since the header card according to the present invention functions as a separator card for separating sheets, the header card according to the present invention includes the concept of a trailer card. The header card is a card used together with the banknote bundle linked to the header card and taken into the paper sheet processing apparatus before the banknote bundle. A trailer card is a card that is used together with a banknote bundle linked to the trailer card, and is taken into the paper sheet processing device after the banknote bundle. In other words, the order in which the header card and the trailer card are taken into the sheet processing apparatus in relation to the banknote bundle is different, but they have the same function as a separator card.

The configuration of the header card system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
The header card system 1 of the present embodiment includes a header card 10 and a bill processing device 20 that processes the header card 10 together with the bill 100.

The bill processing apparatus 20 includes an operation display unit (not shown) having a function of an operation unit for receiving input of various information and a display unit for displaying various information on a screen, and a bill 100 as a medium on which the operator has mounted. And a placement unit 30 for sequentially feeding the header card 10 one by one from the bottom medium into the apparatus 20, a transport path 40 for transporting the bills 100, and gold for the bills 100 transported on the transport path 40. It has an identification unit 50 for identifying a seed, an accumulation unit 60a to 60d for accumulating the identified banknotes 100 for each denomination, and a reject unit 80 for accumulating reject banknotes such as unidentified banknotes 100. .

As shown in FIG. 2, the placing unit 30 includes a stage 31 on which the medium is flatly stacked, a feed roller 32 for transporting the medium placed on the stage 31 into the apparatus 20, and a facing surface of the feed roller 32. And a kick roller 34 that conveys the medium on the stage 31 toward the feed roller 32. A rubber member (not shown) is provided on a part of the outer peripheral surface of the feed roller 32 in the circumferential direction. A rubber member (not shown) is provided on the entire outer peripheral surface of the gate roller 33. A rubber member (not shown) is provided on a part of the outer peripheral surface of the kick roller 34 in the circumferential direction. The feed roller 32 and the kick roller 34 rotate in the medium feeding direction. The placement unit 30 may be a gap type in which a gap is provided between the feed roller 32 and the gate roller 33, or may be a pressure contact type in which the feed roller 32 and the gate roller 33 are in contact with each other.

In the case of the gap type, a gap corresponding to at least the thickness of one bill 100 is provided between the feed roller 32 and the gate roller 33. Then, the gate roller 33 rotates in a direction opposite to the feed roller 32 and the kick roller 34. Note that, regarding the gap type described here, the configuration and operation of each roller are merely examples, and are not particularly limited to this configuration and operation.

In the case of the pressure contact type, the outer peripheral surface of the feed roller 32 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the gate roller 33. A torque limiter (not shown) is provided between the gate roller 33 and its shaft. The feed roller 32 and the kick roller 34 rotate in a direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 2) for feeding the medium into the apparatus 20, and the gate roller 33 rotates in a direction opposite to the feed roller 32. Note that the configuration and operation of each roller in the press-contact type described here are merely examples, and are not particularly limited to this configuration and operation.

In the mounting section 30, the kick roller 34 kicks out the medium in the lowermost layer of the plurality of media in the accumulation state to the left in FIG. 2, and the kicked-out medium is a feed roller 32 and a gate roller. 33 are fed out into the apparatus 20 one by one by a gate portion 35 formed between the device 20 and the gate 33.

The identification unit 50 emits, for example, an optical line sensor (not shown) that acquires a transmission image of the bill 100 and reflection images of the upper surface and the lower surface of the bill 100, and light emission excited by irradiating ultraviolet light. It has a UV sensor (not shown) for detecting, a thickness detection sensor (not shown) for detecting the thickness of the bill 100, and a magnetic detection sensor (not shown) for detecting the magnetic characteristics of the bill 100. . The identification unit 50 identifies the denomination, authenticity, correctness, front and back, direction, and the like of the banknote 100 based on the optical characteristics, magnetic characteristics, thickness, and the like of the banknote 100 obtained by these sensors. The identification unit 50 detects (recognizes) the header card 10 with these sensors.

In such a header card system 1, first, payment information such as an account number and an amount described in a deposit slip attached to the deposit cash (banknote bundle) remitted from each customer is stored in the header card 10 for each deposit cash. Link. That is, a serial number (not shown) is printed on each header card 10 by a bar code or the like, and each serial number and payment information of a bill bundle processed together with the header card 10 having the serial number are printed. Are stored in a predetermined storage unit (not shown) in a linked state. Subsequently, the corresponding (linked) header cards 10 are arranged at the head of each bill bundle and placed on the placement unit 30. In the example shown in FIG. 1, a header card 10 corresponding to the banknote bundle is arranged below the banknote bundle. Then, the identification unit 50 identifies the medium (the header cart 10 and the bill bundle) placed on the placement unit 30, and accumulates each bill 100 in any of the accumulation units 60a to 60d according to the denomination. The header card 10 is integrated in the reject unit 80. At this time, since the header card 10 is provided, the counting process is performed for each bill bundle separated by the header card 10. Lastly, for each bill bundle, by checking whether the money amount stored in the storage unit and the money amount calculated by the bill processing device 20 match, the received cash is remitted according to the money amount described in the money reception slip. It is determined whether or not it has been performed.

Next, the header card according to the present embodiment will be described.
The feature of the present embodiment is that a region (second portion) having a small friction coefficient in relation to the bill 100 is provided on the surface of the header card 10.

More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the header card 10 according to the present embodiment is a rectangular sheet, and has a first portion 11 and a first portion 11 on the surface. And a second portion 12 made of a material containing a synthetic polymer compound. That is, the header card 10 includes the second portion 12 on the surface. When the header card 10 is stacked on the banknote 100 and loaded into the banknote processing apparatus 20, the second portion 12 of the header card 10 comes into contact with the banknote 100, but the second portion 12 contains a synthetic polymer compound. With this configuration, the second portion 12 on the surface of the header card 10 can be a region having a small coefficient of friction in relation to the bill 100. Therefore, when taking in the header card 10 into the bill processing device 20, the bill 100 in contact with the second part 12 and the header card 10 can be appropriately separated, and only the header card 10 can be more reliably compared with the related art. Can be taken into the device 20.

The material of the second portion 12 is selected such that the relationship of the coefficient of friction between the header card 10, the banknote 100, and each of the rollers 32, 33, 34 of the placement unit 30 satisfies a predetermined relationship. As described above, synthetic polymer compounds are preferred. The second portion 12 may be formed mainly from a synthetic polymer compound (the main raw material is a synthetic polymer compound), or may be formed substantially only from a synthetic polymer compound. Good.
Further, the second portion 12 is more preferably made of a material that does not generate static electricity when the second portion 12 and the banknote 100 come into contact with each other.

As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the header card 10 includes a rectangular base material 13 and a layer partially containing a synthetic polymer compound (hereinafter, a resin layer) on the base material 13. ) Is provided. This resin layer functions as the second portion 12, and another region of the base 13 where the resin layer is not provided functions as the first portion 11. Therefore, the surface of the header card 10 has irregularities caused by the second portion 12. The thickness of the header card 10 in the region including the second portion 12 is larger than the thickness of the header card 10 in the region including the first portion 11. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress an increase in friction due to the resin layer sinking when a load is applied to the header card 10. Further, when the banknotes 100 are stacked on the header card 10, a space is formed between the header card 10 and the banknotes 100. Therefore, when the header card 10 is fed out, the upper banknotes 100 contact the feed roller 32 and are It can be suppressed that the card is fed out together with the card 10. Further, since such a space is formed, the upper bill 100 is less likely to be sent out by the kick roller 34 when the header card 10 is fed out, and only the lower header card 10 can be effectively fed out. Similarly, when the header card 10 is stacked on the banknote 100, the banknote 100 can be prevented from being fed out together with the header card 10, and only the lower banknote 100 can be fed out effectively.

The second portion 12 may be formed by, for example, attaching a sheet (tape) containing a synthetic polymer compound to the base material 13. Alternatively, it may be formed by coating a material containing a synthetic polymer compound on the base material 13. Further, the second portion 12 may be formed integrally with the first portion 11 (integrally formed). In the case of integrally forming, for example, the base 13 may be arranged in a mold, and the second portion 12 may be partially injection-molded on the base 13. As a result, the region of the base material 13 where the second portion 12 is not formed can be formed simultaneously with the second portion 12 as the first portion 11.

Preferable examples of the synthetic polymer compound contained in the second portion 12 include polyacetal, nylon, fluororesin, polyolefin, acrylic resin, polyimide, polyether, polyester, polyvinyl chloride and the like. Any of these may be used alone or two or more of them may be used in combination. Preferred examples of the polyolefin include polyethylene. As the polyether, for example, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) can be used. As the acrylic resin and the polyimide, those having flexibility are preferable.

As a material of the first portion 11 and the base material 13 of the header card 10, paper made of plant fiber is suitable, but a synthetic polymer compound such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is also used. However, when the first portion 11 and the base material 13 of the header card 10 include a synthetic polymer compound, the base material of the banknote 100 to be processed is preferably paper made of plant fiber. The synthetic polymer compound for the first portion 11 and the base material 13 of the header card 10 can be used even if it is made of a material other than polyethylene terephthalate as long as it can be formed into a thin sheet.

The second portion 12 is provided on the surface of the header card 10, and is preferably provided on at least one of the first surface and the second surface. Here, the first surface and the second surface mean one and the other main surfaces of the header card 10, respectively.

The second portion 12 may be provided on both surfaces of the header card 10, that is, on the first surface and the second surface, respectively. As a result, the friction reducing effect described above can be obtained on any of the two surfaces of the header card 10, so that either the first surface or the second surface can be used.

When the second portion 12 is provided on both sides of the header card 10, the second portion 12 provided on the first surface and the second portion 12 provided on the second surface are provided at positions overlapping each other in plan view. Preferably. This also suppresses an increase in friction caused by the resin layer sinking when a load is applied to the header card 10.

The first portion 11 is also provided on the surface of the header card 10 like the second portion 12, but is preferably provided on each of the first surface and the second surface.

The second portion 12 is preferably arranged so as not to pass over the kick roller 34 and the gate roller 33 so as not to affect the conveying force. From such a viewpoint, as shown in FIGS. 4A to 4F and FIGS. 5A to 5D, the second portion 12 includes a plurality of header cards 10 and a plurality of bills parallel to the transport direction of the bills 100. It is preferable that they are respectively arranged on a straight line. The patterns of FIGS. 4A to 4F are suitable when the number of gate rollers 33 is three or four, and the patterns of FIGS. 5A to 5D are suitable when the number of gate rollers 33 is two. It is. In the patterns shown in FIGS. 4A to 4F and FIGS. 5A to 5D, the second portions 12 are provided in the same shape at the same positions on both sides of the header card 10. . That is, FIGS. 4A to 4F and FIGS. 5A to 5D show the patterns of the second portions 12 on both sides of the header card 10.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the second portion 12 may be provided linearly on four straight lines parallel to the transport direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the second portion 12 may be provided at the front end and the rear end on four straight lines parallel to the transport direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 4C, the second portion 12 may be provided at the front end, the center, and the rear end on four straight lines parallel to the transport direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 4D, the second portion 12 may be provided in a broken line shape on four straight lines parallel to the transport direction. In the patterns shown in FIGS. 4A to 4D, the second portions 12 are arranged evenly in the left-right direction, and include left and right ends and portions that divide the header card 10 into three equal parts in the left-right direction. Are arranged respectively. Further, as shown in FIG. 4E, the second portion 12 is linearly provided on two straight lines parallel to the transport direction, and the two patterns are arranged at the left and right ends, respectively. You may. Further, as shown in FIG. 4F, the second portion 12 is provided in a straight line on two straight lines parallel to the transport direction, and the two patterns are located at two places in the center (header card). 10 may be arranged at a position that equally divides 10 into three in the left-right direction).

As shown in FIG. 5A, the second portion 12 may be provided linearly on three straight lines parallel to the transport direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the second portion 12 may be provided at the front end and the rear end on three straight lines parallel to the transport direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 5C, the second portion 12 may be provided at the front end, the center, and the rear end on three straight lines parallel to the transport direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 5D, the second portion 12 may be provided in a dashed shape on three straight lines parallel to the transport direction. In the patterns shown in FIGS. 5A to 5D, the second portions 12 are evenly arranged in the left-right direction, and the left and right end portions and the portions that divide the header card 10 into two in the left-right direction. Are arranged respectively.

Here, the directions of front, rear, left and right are respectively the transport direction of the header card 10, the direction opposite to the transport direction of the header card 10, the left direction when facing the transport direction of the header card 10, and the header card. It means the right direction when facing the conveyance direction of No. 10.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 4 (a), (c), (d) and (e) and FIGS. 5 (a), (c) and (d), the second part 12 4 (a), (c), (d) and (f), and FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (c). As shown in (d) and (d), the second portion 12 may be provided in a portion other than the edge of the header card 10.

The second portion 12 preferably has a rotationally symmetric shape with at least one of a rotation axis orthogonal to the header card 10 and a rotation axis parallel to the header card 10 as a center of rotation. As a result, the header card 10 can be used in any state as long as the header card is rotated about the center of rotation.

The rotationally symmetric shape may be the entire shape of the second part 12 or a part of the second part 12. In the latter case, the second portion 12 may include a shape portion having no center of rotation.

Specifically, for example, the second part 12 shown in FIGS. 4A to 4F and FIGS. 5A to 5D includes a rotation axis 101 orthogonal to the header card 10 and a header card 10. It is a two-fold symmetrical shape (a shape that overlaps itself when rotated by 180 °) with the parallel rotation axes 102 and 103 as the center of rotation. Since the rotation axis 101 is a line orthogonal to the paper surface, it is indicated by dots in FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (f) and 5 (a) to 5 (d). As shown in these figures, when the second portion 12 has a rotationally symmetrical shape, its rotation axis may pass through the center of the header card 10 or may extend in the longitudinal direction or the short direction of the header card 10. It may be parallel to the hand direction.

As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the thickness h of the header card 10 in the area including the second portion 12 is not particularly limited as long as it is equal to or less than the height of the transport path 40 of the banknote processing device 20, but the thickness h is large. The more the above-mentioned friction reducing effect becomes larger, the more the effect becomes. Since the height of the transport path 40 is usually 1 to 1.2 mm, the thickness h is preferably 1 mm or less. When the second portion 12 is provided on each side of the header card 10, the thickness h on one side is preferably 0.5 mm or less. Although the lower limit of the thickness h is not particularly limited, it is preferably 0.6 mm or more. When the second portions 12 are provided on both sides of the header card 10, it is preferably 0.3 mm or more on one side.

As shown in FIG. 6, the second portion 12 may be formed by attaching a sheet-like resin layer having a right angle to the base material 13. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the second portion 12 may be formed by attaching a sheet-like resin layer having a C-shaped (squeezed surface) shape to the base material 13. As shown in FIG. 8, the second portion 12 may be formed by attaching a sheet-shaped resin layer having an R-shaped corner to the base 13. In the cases shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the occurrence of a jam in the header card 10 can be reduced.

By providing the second portion 12, the simultaneous transport of the header card 10 and the bill 100 can be suppressed as described above, but in addition to the second portion 12, as shown in FIG. A magnetic information section 14 having magnetic information indicating that the card is a header card may be provided on the header card 10. Further, the magnetic information section 14 may have information on the serial number of the header card 10. The magnetic information part 14 may be provided in the first part 11 avoiding the second part 12, or may be provided so as to overlap the second part 12, as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, in a region where the magnetic information part 14 and the second part 12 overlap, the magnetic information part is located between the base material 13 and the second part 12 (resin layer) in a cross-sectional view of the header card 10. The portion 14 may be provided, or the second portion 12 (resin layer) may be provided between the base material 13 and the magnetic information portion 14. When the magnetic information unit 14 is provided on the header card 10, the magnetic information unit 14 is usually provided linearly in a direction orthogonal to the transport direction. The magnetic information section 14 preferably extends from one end of the header card 10 to multiple ends in a direction orthogonal to the transport direction. The position of the magnetic information unit 14 in the transport direction can be changed as appropriate, and the number and area of the magnetic information units 14 can also be changed as appropriate.

Next, the relationship between the header card 10 and the rollers 32, 33, 34 of the placement unit 30 will be described.
As for the arrangement, as shown in FIG. 10, the feed roller 32, the gate roller 33, and the kick roller 34 are arranged at positions where they come into contact with the first portion 11 when facing the header card 10. That is, while the header card 10 is taken into the transport path 40 from the placement unit 30, the first part 11, not the second part 12, comes into contact with the feed roller 32, the gate roller 33, and the kick roller 34. A part 11 and a second part 12 are arranged.

Regarding the relationship of the friction coefficient (frictional force), when the banknote 100 is fed (the state where the header card 10 is on the banknote 100), it is preferable that the relationship shown in FIG. 11 is satisfied.

In particular, it is preferable that the following expressions (1) and (2) be satisfied in order to prevent the header card 10 from being fed out when the bill 100 is fed out.
Coefficient of friction between bill 100 and second part 12 <Coefficient of friction between kick roller 34 and bill 100 (1)
Coefficient of friction between banknote 100 and second portion 12 <Coefficient of friction between gate roller 33 and first portion 11 (2)
By satisfying the above expression (1), it is possible to effectively prevent the bill 100 and the header card 10 from being multiplex-conveyed when the bill 100 is fed. By satisfying the above expression (2), the bill 100 can be effectively fed out while the header card 10 is stopped by the gate roller 33.

In the case where the header card 10 is paid out (the state in which the banknote 100 is on the header card 10), it is preferable to satisfy the relationship shown in FIG.

Above all, it is preferable to satisfy the following expressions (3) and (4) in order to prevent the bill 100 from being fed out when the header card 10 is fed out.
Coefficient of friction between bill 100 and second portion 12 <Coefficient of friction between kick roller 34 and first portion 11 (3)
Coefficient of friction between banknote 100 and second portion 12 <Coefficient of friction between gate roller 33 and banknote 100 (4)
By satisfying the expression (3), it is possible to effectively prevent the bill 100 and the header card 10 from being multiplex-conveyed when the header card 10 is fed. By satisfying the above expression (4), the header card 10 can be effectively fed out while the banknote 100 is stopped by the gate roller 33.

Here, the friction coefficient in which each of the rollers 32, 33, and 34 is one of the combinations means a friction coefficient between the rubber member of the rollers 32, 33, and 34 and the medium. That is, for example, the coefficient of friction between the kick roller 34 and the first portion 11 means the coefficient of friction between the rubber member of the kick roller 34 and the first portion 11. Further, each coefficient of friction may be a coefficient of static friction.

The header card 10 can be distinguished from the bill 100 by detecting the second portion 12 by the identification unit 50. Examples of the method of detecting the second portion 12 include a method of detecting with the thickness detection sensor and a method of detecting by image processing based on an image acquired by the optical line sensor. The magnetic information of the magnetic information section can be read by the magnetic detection sensor of the identification section 50.

As described above, in the present embodiment, on the surface of the header card 10, the first portion 11 and the second portion made of a material different from the first portion 11, specifically, a material containing a synthetic polymer compound are used. 12 is provided, when taking in the header card 10 into the banknote processing apparatus 20, the banknote 100 in contact with the second portion 12 and the header card 10 can be appropriately separated, and compared with the related art.
