  Next, the conveyance path 3 will be described in detail. The conveyance path 3 includes a roller, a conveyance belt, a sensor that detects passage, a drive motor, and the like. Hereinafter, the conveyance path 3 will be described from the aspect of a banknote path. As shown in FIG. 3, the conveyance path 3 is roughly divided into five parts (hereinafter also referred to as conveyance paths) 3 a to 3 e.

  The conveyance path 3a is a portion that reaches the branch point A from the input unit 1 through the discrimination unit 2. Therefore, all the inserted bills are transported on the transport path 3a.

  The conveyance path 3 b is a part from the branch point A to the reject pocket 8. Accordingly, reject banknotes whose discrimination results are accumulated in the reject pocket 8 are transported on the transport path 3b.

  The conveyance path 3c is a part from the branch point A to the branch point B, and the front / back reversing unit 4 is provided in the middle thereof, and the transport path 3c conveys the banknote so as not to pass the front / back reversing unit 4. You can also. The front / back reversing part 4 has a groove shape, and the conveyed paper piece is inserted into the front / back reversing part 4 from one end and pulled out from the other end so that the front and back are reversed. Of the inserted banknotes, banknotes other than banknotes facing the reject pocket 8 are transported on the transport path 3c. Of the banknotes introduced on the transport path 3 c, those identified as needing front / back inversion pass through the front / back inversion unit 4.

  The conveyance path 3d is a portion from the branch point B to the lowermost temporary accumulation unit 61e (see FIG. 2). The banknotes identified as being collected and bound by the discrimination unit 2 are transported on the transport path 3d and inserted into the temporary stacking units 61a to 61e where the banknotes are to be stacked.

  As described above, in the banknote bundling apparatus 100, the “paper sheet supply means” supplies the banknotes input from the operator to the stacking mechanism 6 (temporary stacking sections 61a to 61e) by the transport path 3, the discrimination section 2, and the like. Is formed.

  The conveyance path 3e is a part from the branch point B to the branch point C. And the conveyance path 3f is a part from the branch point C to the open pocket 5a. Moreover, the conveyance path g is a part from the branch point C to the open pocket 5b.

  Note that a switching blade (not shown) that switches the bill conveyance direction is provided in the vicinity of each of the branch points A, B, and C on the conveyance path 3 and is switched under the control of the control unit 50 described later.

  FIG. 6 is a side view showing the configuration of the stacking mechanism 6 in more detail than FIG. In the stacking mechanism 6, as described above, the five temporary stacking units 61a to 61e are arranged in the vertical direction. Since these temporary stacking units 61a to 61e have the same structure, the details will be described below using the temporary stacking unit 61a as an example.

  The banknotes transported by the transport path 3d are taken toward the stacking plate 21 by the sorting gate 27 of the temporary stacking unit 61a, and the banknotes that have entered the temporary stacking unit 61a are hit by the impeller 20 and stacked. It is configured to be accumulated on the plate 21. The banknotes entering thereafter are also stacked on the banknotes stacked on the stacking plate 21 by the same operation.

  The banknotes entering the temporary stacking unit 61a are aligned in the longitudinal direction of the banknotes by a longitudinal positioning means (not shown) provided on one side of the temporary stacking unit 61a (for example, the front side in the normal direction of the paper surface of FIG. 6). Further, the position in the short direction is aligned by short positioning means (not shown) provided on the rear end side of the temporary accumulating portion 61a. The above-mentioned longitudinal alignment mechanism aligns the banknotes by pressing them against a reference surface installed on the opposite side. In addition, the short positioning mechanism described above is positioned by biasing the accumulated banknotes toward the entrance side.

  If banknotes are accumulated on the accumulation plate 21 and the accumulation number (values of counters 51a to 51e described later) exceeds a set number, the accumulation plate 21 is automatically lowered to widen the space of the temporary accumulation unit 61a. By this operation, the stacking can be stably performed even if the stacking height differs depending on the state of the banknote caused by the wrinkles or folds. A presser plate 24 is provided above the stacking plate 21 so as to face the presser plate 24. The presser plate 24 stands by at the upper end of the temporary stacking unit 61a during stacking of banknotes on the stacking plate 21, and is sequentially taken in So as not to get in the way.

  When a set number of banknotes are stacked on the stacking plate 21 of the temporary stacking unit 61a, the gate sorting mechanism 27 is operated in a posture that does not take in banknotes, and a predetermined number of banknotes are, for example, other temporary stacking units 61b. It is controlled to accumulate in any of ~ 61e.

  In the temporary stacking unit 61a where the banknotes have stopped entering, the stacking plate 21 is raised and the presser plate 24 is lowered to hold the banknotes. By this operation, the thicknesses of banknotes having different stacking heights are made constant according to the state of banknotes such as bags, and delivery to the transfer mechanism 9 is facilitated. The banknotes clamped by the stacking plate 21 and the pressing plate 24 are pulled out by the banknote clamp unit 30 (see FIG. 2) of the transfer mechanism 9 entering the temporary stacking unit 61a from the short positioning mechanism 23 side. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the transfer mechanism 9 as a “bundle transport unit” includes a bill clamp part 30, a clamp part moving mechanism 31, and a vertical movement mechanism 32. The configuration of the transfer mechanism 9 will be clarified through movement.

  A series of movements of the transfer mechanism 9 will be described by taking as an example the case of pulling out the banknotes accumulated in the temporary accumulation unit 61a. At the same time as the banknote clamp part 30 is raised to the position of the position sensor related to the temporary stacking part 61 a together with the clamp part moving mechanism 31 by the vertical movement mechanism 32, and the rise is stopped at the position where the position sensor detects the clamp part moving mechanism 31. The clamp part moving mechanism 31 is locked by a locking means (not shown), and the clamp part moving mechanism 31 is fixed at a position corresponding to the temporary stacking part 61a. In this state, the clamp moving mechanism 31 opens the clamp claws 33a and 33b of the banknote clamp part 30 in the vertical direction to prepare to clamp the stacked banknotes, and the clamp moving mechanism 31 moves the banknote clamp part 30 to the temporary stacking part 61a. Extrude into. The clamp claws 33a and 33b of the pushed bill clamp mechanism 30 are inserted into an opening provided on the short positioning mechanism 23 side of the temporary stacking unit 61a and are sandwiched between the stacking plate 21 and the pressing plate 24. Hold the banknotes from above and below. Next, by opening the stacking plate 21 and the holding plate 24 to release the holding of the banknotes by both, 100 banknotes are passed to the banknote clamping unit 30. Therefore, the clamp claws 33a and 33b The banknote clamp part 30 holding the banknote is pulled back by the clamp part moving mechanism 31. When the banknote clamp part 30 is pulled back to the original position, the locking of the clamp part moving mechanism 31 is released, and the clamp moving mechanism 31 is moved to the lowermost end of the moving path by the vertical movement mechanism 32 together with the banknote clamp part 30 holding the banknote. The banknote binding mechanism 10 is moved to the position, and the banknotes held by the clamp claws 33 a and 33 b of the banknote clamp unit 30 are delivered to the banknote binding mechanism 10.

  As shown in the side view of FIG. 7, the banknote binding mechanism 10 includes a transport means 40 composed of rollers and a belt, a binding tape 41 such as a paper tape, a printing means 42, and a supply means 43 that supplies the tape 41. A cutter 44 for cutting the tape 41 to a predetermined length and a binding means (not shown) are used to bind banknotes as follows.

  The transport means 40 collectively receives the banknotes to be bound from the banknote clamp part 30 of the transfer mechanism 9 and transports them to the binding position. The tape supply means 43 supplies the tape 41 to the bundling means, and at that time, the printing means 42 prints information related to the banknotes to be bundled on the tape 41 under the control of the control unit 50. The printed tape 41 is cut to a predetermined length by a cutter 44, and the cut tape is wound around and bundled with the bill conveyed by the bundling means to the bundling position to form a bill bundle. The banknote bundle thus created is further transported by the transport means 40 and sent to the discharge port 11.

  When all the banknotes set in the insertion unit 1 are inserted and the processing (counting and stacking) for the last banknote is completed, banknotes that are not bundled in the temporary stacking units 61a to 61e often remain. The number of remaining fractions can be taken out by the operator by opening the door 12 described above.

  Next, the configuration of the control system of the banknote bundling apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 1, the control part 50 performs operation control of the said banknote binding organization apparatus 100 whole. In the control unit 50, the components of the input unit 1 (driving elements such as motors and solenoids, sensor elements, etc .; the term “components” is omitted in FIG. 1 via the I / O interface circuit 51. In the following description, the term “component” is omitted), the discrimination unit 2, the conveyance path 3, the front / back reversing unit 4, the stacking mechanism 6, the operation unit 7, the transfer mechanism 9, the bill binding mechanism 10, and the operation display unit. 13 and counters 51a to 51e are connected.

  Each of the counters 51a to 51e has a one-to-one correspondence with the temporary stacking units 61a to 61e. For example, each time a sensor provided at a predetermined position of the corresponding temporary stacking unit 61a to 61e detects an incoming bill. Count up. Here, hardware counters are applied as the counters 51 a to 51 e, but a software counter using the memory unit 51 may be applied to the control unit 50.

  Next, the internal configuration of the control unit 50 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the control unit 50 has a storage unit 52 for storing various information necessary for control processing and the like. The control unit 50 can be constructed, for example, by installing the paper sheet processing program of the embodiment in a computer (for example, a microcomputer) having a processor and a memory. Can be shown as:

  As shown in FIG. 1, the storage unit 52 stores at least setting information 521, registered specific serial number information 522, and detected serial number information 523.

  First, the contents of the setting information 521 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As illustrated in FIG. 8, the setting information 521 is information indicating a stacking destination (temporary stacking unit 61 a to 61 e or any of the open pockets 5 a and 5 b) for each type of banknote (a combination of denomination and ticket type). is there. As shown in FIG. 8, in the setting information 521, the type of banknote is determined according to the combination of denomination and ticket type.

  In FIG. 8, the denomination is determined according to the face value of the banknote. In addition, in 1st Embodiment, the banknote binding organization apparatus 100 is a 6 money type banknote of the People's Republic of China (renminbi) (100 yuan banknote, 50 yuan banknote, 20 yuan banknote, 10 yuan banknote, 5 yuan banknote, It is assumed that processing is possible for a one-yuan bill). Moreover, in FIG. 8, a bill type shall show the attribute of a banknote. Specifically, the bill type of the banknote is determined based on items such as the authenticity of the banknote, the degree of damage of the banknote, and whether or not it is a specific serial number ticket. In the discrimination part 2 of 1st Embodiment, according to the degree of the damage of a banknote, it shall be classified into three steps, an ATM ticket, a circulation ticket, and a non-use ticket. It is assumed that the ATM ticket is a bill that is used less frequently than the official sealed ticket. The circulation ticket is not suitable for use in ATM, but is not damaged enough to be returned to the bank issuing bank. Furthermore, the banknote is a banknote in a state where it is preferable that the banknote is severely damaged and returned to the banknote issuing bank.

  In the setting information 521 of the first embodiment, the contents to be set in the item of ticket type are “none” (not limiting the type of banknote), “ATM ticket”, “distribution ticket”, “damaged ticket”. ”,“ ATM + Distribution ”(ATM ticket and distribution right),“ Distribution + Loss ”(distribution right and loss ticket),“ Authentication RJ ”(banknote to be rejected as a fake ticket),“ Specific serial number ”(serial number) Will be described as one of which is set. Note that the type, number, and condition combination of information set in the ticket type item of the setting information 521 are not limited to the above example. However, the control part 50 of 1st Embodiment is a banknote of the said banknote, when it corresponds to a specific serial number ticket even if it is a banknote recognized as corresponding to either an ATM ticket, a circulation ticket, or a non-payment ticket. Species are handled as “specific serial numbers”. Moreover, even if it is the banknote in which the specific serial number was formed, the control part 50 of 1st Embodiment is set as a "true / false RJ ticket" when the banknote corresponds to a genuine RJ ticket. It shall be handled.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the setting information 521, each accumulation destination is represented by an ID assigned to each accumulation destination (hereinafter referred to as “accumulation destination ID”). As the collection destination IDs, IDs 1 to 7 are assigned to the temporary collection units 61a to 61e and the open pockets 5a and 5b. For example, the accumulation destination ID of the temporary accumulation unit 61a is 1, the accumulation destination ID of the open pocket 5a is 6, and the accumulation destination ID of the open pocket 5b is 7. And the control part 50 controls the conveyance path 3 etc. so that the banknote discriminated by the discrimination part 2 may be integrated | stacked on the collection destination according to the setting information 521. FIG.

  In the first embodiment, as an example, it is assumed that the content shown in FIG. In the setting information 521 shown in FIG. 8, a banknote with a denomination of 100 yuan banknotes and a banknote of “ATM + distribution” is a temporary stacking unit 61e (stacking destination ID: 5), a denomination is 100 yuan banknotes Is set to the open pocket 5a (stacking destination ID: 6), and the banknote stacking type is “true / false RJ” is set to the open pocket 5b (stacking destination ID: 7). Has been.

  Next, the contents of the registered specific serial number information 522 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the registered specific serial number information 522 is information for registering a serial number to be detected as a specific serial number ticket. Therefore, the control unit 50 (storage unit 21) functions as a specific identification information list holding unit that holds a specific serial number list (specific identification information list) that is a list of specific serial number tickets (specific identification information). .

  The registered specific serial number information 522 is information set for each denomination, but the format of the information set for each denomination is the same, so here, a 100 yuan banknote is used as an example using FIG. explain. That is, as the registered specific serial number information 522, information as shown in FIG. 9 is set for each denomination. The registered specific serial number information 522 is set according to the operation of the operator. In the first embodiment, as an example, it is assumed that three serial numbers (AH00000001, AH00000002, AH00000003) shown in FIG. 9 are registered in the registered specific serial number information 522 (information on 100-yuan banknotes). The description format used when setting the specific serial number in the registered specific serial number information 522 is not limited. For example, a description format using a range specification (for example, a description format such as “AH00000001-AH00000003”), A description format using a wild card (for example, a description format such as “AH0000000?”) May be used.

  The content of the registered specific serial number information 522 is copied by the control unit 50 to the storage unit 21 (specific identification number information for identification 211) of the discrimination unit 2. The identification unit 2 detects a specific serial number ticket according to the specific serial number information 211 for identification.

  Next, the contents of the detection serial number information 523 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the detected serial number information 523 is information (history information) related to the specific serial number ticket detected by the banknote bundling organizing apparatus 100. Although the items constituting the detection serial number information 523 are not limited, for example, in FIG. 10, for each detected specific serial number ticket, the detection date and time, the worker name, the worker ID, the denomination, and the ticket type , Information on the version number (version number of the banknote), serial number, and stacking destination ID (stacking destination of the banknote) are recorded. In addition, the item of the detection serial number information 523 shown in FIG. 10 is an example, and is not limited to this.

  The items of worker name and worker ID shown in FIG. 10 are information for identifying the operator. For example, when using the banknote bundling apparatus 100, the control unit 50 causes the operator to input authentication information (for example, an operator ID and a password) to display an authentication process (an authentication process screen is displayed on the operation display unit 13). The authentication information used in the authentication process may be reflected in the detection serial number information 523.

(A-2) Operation | movement of embodiment Next, operation | movement of the banknote binding organization apparatus 100 of 1st Embodiment which has the above structures is demonstrated.

(A-2-1) Setting Information Input Process FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a process performed by the control unit 50 when receiving the contents of the setting information 521 and the registered specific serial number information 522 from the operator.

  First, a setting information input screen for the control unit 50 to receive the contents of the setting information 521 and the registered specific serial number information 522 from the operator in accordance with an operation on the operation display unit 13 (for example, an operation on a menu screen or the like) by the operator. (See FIG. 12) is displayed on the operation display unit 13 (S101).

  Next, it is assumed that the collection destination for receiving information input is selected by the operator (S102). Specifically, on the setting information input screen shown in FIG. 12, to select one of the button B11 for selecting the open pocket 5a, the button B12 for selecting the open pocket 5b, and the temporary stacking units 61a to 61e. Button B13 is arranged, and the collection destination is selected by pressing any button. Here, the following description will be given assuming that the button B11 for selecting the open pocket 5a is pressed by the operator.

  When the collection destination (open pocket 5a) is selected, the control unit 50 accepts the operation of the button B14 for specifying the denomination and the button B15 for specifying the ticket type on the setting information input screen. . Here, as shown in FIG. 12, “100” indicating 100 yuan banknotes is already set for the denomination corresponding to the open pocket 5a (OP1). Here, it is assumed that the button B15 for designating the ticket type is pressed by the operator (S103).

  When the button B15 for specifying the ticket type is pressed on the setting information input screen shown in FIG. 12, the control unit 50 pops up a ticket type selection screen (see FIG. 13) for allowing the operator to select the ticket type. Displayed (S104).

  In the ticket type selection screen shown in FIG. 13, buttons B201 to B208 corresponding to the respective ticket types are arranged. Here, it is assumed that the confirmation button B209 is pressed after the operator presses the button B208 for designating the specific serial number (S105). When the specific serial number is specified on the ticket type selection screen shown in FIG. 13, the control unit 50 pops up a specific serial number registration screen (see FIG. 14) for accepting additional registration of the specific serial number (S106). .

  In the specific serial number registration screen shown in FIG. 14, a field F11 for receiving input of a specific serial number to be additionally registered, and a button B31 for adding the serial number input in the field F11 to the registered specific serial number information 522 A field F12 for displaying the specific serial number currently registered in the registered specific serial number information 522, and a button B32 for returning to the previous screen (setting information input screen).

  When the operator inputs a specific serial number in the field F11 and presses the add button B31, the control unit 50 additionally registers the serial number in the registered specific serial number information 522, and the display content of the field F12 is updated to the latest content. (S107, S108).

  Through the processing as described above, the banknote bundling device 100 accepts registration of the contents of the setting information 521 and the registration specific serial number information 522, and the contents are as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 described above. To do.

  In the banknote bundling arrangement device 100 of the first embodiment, the specific processing (screen configuration etc.) for accepting the registration of the contents of the setting information 521 and the registered specific serial number information 522 is not limited, and various Interface can be applied.

(A-2-2) Counting and Bundling Processing FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the operation when counting and bundling processing is performed in the banknote bundling arrangement device 100.

    When the counting start button 7a of the operation unit 7 is pressed by the operator (S102), the control unit 50 starts counting and bundling processing, and first performs initial setting of each unit. Specifically, the control unit 50 performs processing for setting the content of the registered specific serial number information 522 in the specific identification number information 211 for identification of the identification unit 2. It is assumed that no information is registered in the detection serial number information 523 in the initial state.

  When the initial setting is completed, the control unit 50 starts counting and bundling operations for the banknote set in the insertion slot 1 (S104). Note that a bill may be added to the insertion slot 1 by the operator while the bill bundling device 100 is counting.

  Further, when starting the counting process, the control unit 50 displays a counting display screen for displaying the counting status in the format shown in FIG.

  In the counting display screen, as shown in FIG. 16, the currently accumulated denomination (item “sealing” in FIG. 16) is currently accumulated in the field F22 for each temporary accumulation unit 61 in a table format. The number of sheets (item of “number of fractions” in FIG. 16) and the number of small bundles (item of “number of bundles” in FIG. 16) bound (sealed) for the currently accumulated denomination are displayed. Note that the numbers 1 to 5 of the item “sealing” in FIG. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 16, since the item of sealing is “5: 100 yuan banknote”, it indicates that the 100 yuan banknote is allocated to the temporary stacking unit 61e (temporary stacking unit ID: 5). ing. Further, in the example of FIG. 16, 58 yuan banknotes are currently collected (“fractional number” item is “58”), and a bundle of bundles (sealing) has already been performed (“bundling”). The item “number” is “1”).

  In the counting display screen, as shown in FIG. 16, in the field F21, in the table format, for each open pocket 5a, 5b, the currently accumulated ticket type (item “pocket” in FIG. 16), the current number ( The number of sheets currently accumulated) and the set number (the upper limit number of sheets accumulated in each pocket) are entered. In the item “Pocket” of the field F21, “1” represents the first open pocket 5a, “2” represents the second open pocket 5b, and “RJ” represents the reject pocket 8. In the present embodiment, it is set so that bills having a specific serial number are stacked in the first open pocket 5a. Further, in the second open pocket 5b, it is set so as to accumulate those with a ticket type of “true / false RJ” (banknotes determined to be unauthenticated or false).

  And the control part 50 receives the report of a money type and a ticket type for every banknote from the discrimination part 2, and confirms whether the ticket type of the identified banknote is a specific serial number (S205). The controller 50 operates from step S206 described later when the identified bill type is a specific serial number, and operates from step S207 described later otherwise.

  In the above-described step S205, when the bill type of the identified banknote is the specific serial number, the control unit 50 registers the information of the specific serial number ticket in the detection serial number information 523, and the specific serial number ticket is generated. A process for notifying the operator of the fact is performed (S206). That is, in the first embodiment, the control unit 50 and the operation display unit 13 function as a reporting unit that reports that a specific serial number ticket has been detected.

  The contents of the process of notifying the operator that the specific serial number ticket has been generated are not limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, the field F23 on the counting display screen indicates “specific serial number generation”. The specific serial number detected last may be displayed together with the message. It is desirable that the display of the field F23 be red or the like so as to stand out. In addition, as a method for notifying the operator that the specific serial number ticket has been generated, other methods such as voice output from a speaker (not shown), lighting of a rotating lamp (not shown), and the like may be used.

  Then, the control unit 205 performs control so that the banknotes identified in step S204 described above are conveyed to the corresponding stacking destination (S207). Note that in the banknote binding and arranging apparatus 100, when the banknotes accumulated in the temporary stacking units 61a to 61e reach the set number, the banknote binding mechanism 10 binds the banknote bundle, but in the flowchart of FIG. The operation related to the bundling process is not shown.

  As described above, the banknote bundling apparatus 100 performs measurement and bundling processing. When the operator who has received the notification that the specific serial number ticket has been generated by the processing in step S206 described above wants to confirm details, the button indicating “No.” is displayed on the counting display screen described above. By pressing B41, a serial number display screen as shown in FIG. 18 is displayed (while counting and bundling are continued).

  On the serial number display screen, for example, as shown in FIG. 18, the content of the detected serial number information 523 may be displayed. FIG. 18 shows an example in which all items of the detection serial number information 523 and “stacking order” are displayed, but some items (items other than the serial number) may be omitted. The “stacking order” in FIG. 18 is information indicating the order (position) in which the banknotes are stacked when the stacking destination (open pocket) is viewed from above. In the example of FIG. 18, the stacking order is displayed as “first sheet from the top”, “second sheet from the top”,. When a large number of serial numbers are displayed on the serial number display screen, the serial number screen may be switched or a scrollable operation screen may be used. Further, a search function that enables searching for an arbitrary serial number may be added to the serial number display screen. For example, a screen configuration may be adopted in which an input of an arbitrary serial number is accepted from an operator, and only information corresponding to the serial number is extracted and displayed on the serial number display screen. As the display screen of the detection result, for example, as in the above-described FIG. 18, information of “accumulation order” may be displayed together. Note that the stacking order of the banknotes may be managed by the detection serial number information 523.

(A-3) Effects of First Embodiment According to the first embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.

  In the banknote bundling arrangement device 100 according to the first embodiment, a list of specific serial numbers is held in the registered specific serial number information 522, and a specific serial number ticket is detected during counting and binding processing based on the list. . And in the banknote binding organization apparatus 100, when a specific serial number ticket is detected, the message to that effect is displayed on the counting display screen and it is reporting. Thereby, the operator can know the timing which detected the specific serial number ticket, and the convenience improves. In particular, even when counting and bundling processing is performed while adding banknotes to the insertion slot 1 (when the processing is not stopped for replenishing banknotes), the operator can recognize the timing at which the specific serial number ticket is detected. It is effective because it can.

  Moreover, in the banknote binding organization apparatus 100 of 1st Embodiment, a serial number display screen can be pop-up displayed from the number display screen. For example, on the serial number display screen, since the serial numbers are arranged in the detection order (stacking order), the operator can easily grasp the position such as which number of banknotes are stacked. It becomes possible.

(B) The following second embodiment, the paper sheet processing equipment according to the present invention, the second embodiment applied to the banknote bundling organizer will be described with reference to the drawings.
