Description

The present invention relates to a paper leaf handling device, an automatic trading device, and a paper leaf handling method, and in particular, a paper leaf handling device, an automatic trading device, and paper suitable for correcting an inclination during transportation of paper leaves. Regarding how to handle leaves.

The paper leaf handling device is a device for handling paper leaves, and specifically, transports the paper leaves taken in from the outside for processing, or transports the accumulated paper leaves to a predetermined destination. It is something to do.

If the paper leaves are tilted during transportation, there will be inconveniences such as delay in transportation or improper processing of paper leaves. Therefore, there is known a technique for correcting the inclination of paper leaves during transportation of paper leaves.

A technique for correcting the inclination of such paper leaves is known, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-20939 (Patent Document 1). In this technology, two sensors are placed at intervals in the direction approximately perpendicular to the transport direction in the paper leaf transmission path, and the timing at which one of the sensors detects the paper leaves and the other sensor detects it. The tilt of the paper leaves is detected by the difference from the timing of the paper. Furthermore, two rollers that can independently control the rotation are placed on the downstream side of the two sensors, and the rotation speeds of the two sets of rollers are different so as to correct the inclination detected by the two sensors. Let me control it. That is, the tilt of the paper leaves is corrected by controlling the transport speed of the paper leaves with a pair of rollers given independent drives.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 11-20939

However, in the conventional technique shown in Patent Document 1, a mechanism for applying an independent driving force to a plurality of roller pairs and a sensor for detecting inclination are required, and there is a problem that the device becomes complicated and large in size. In addition, it is necessary to perform high-speed processing for tilt measurement and control of the transport speed of the roller pair for each sheet of paper, and when an abnormality occurs in the sensor, the tilt of the sheet of paper cannot be corrected, and control is also possible. If the logic parameters are not appropriate, the tilt cannot be corrected properly. Furthermore, there is a problem of high cost.

In particular, in automatic trading equipment used in financial institutions such as banks that handle banknotes as paper leaves, it is necessary to change the destination depending on the denomination and state of the banknotes, but the number of processed banknotes per unit time increases. If the banknote spacing is shortened according to the request, the switching mechanism and the banknote collide with each other when the banknotes are switched between the banknotes being transported and the banknotes are tilted. Danger arises. As described above, in the automatic teller machine used in financial institutions, there is a great demand to correct the inclination of the banknote posture so that the number of processed banknotes per unit time can be increased and the banknote interval can be shortened.

FIG. 5 is a side view showing the configuration of the banknote handling device 1.

In the upper part of the banknote handling device 1, a banknote deposit / withdrawal port 20 for a user to insert and take out banknotes is arranged on the front side (upper right side of FIG. 5). Further, a banknote discriminating unit 40 for discriminating banknotes is arranged in the central portion, and a temporary storage unit 30 for temporarily storing banknotes deposited by the user until the transaction is completed is arranged in the upper part of the rear portion. Below the temporary storage unit 30, a banknote collection box 75 for storing banknotes that are not treated as withdrawal banknotes or banknotes that the customer has forgotten to remove is arranged. Each of these mechanical parts is connected by a bidirectional transport path. Here, the banknote discriminating unit 40 can perform denomination discrimination and authenticity discrimination regardless of whether the banknotes are transported from the front to the rear or from the rear to the front. That is, the banknote discriminating unit 40 can discriminate the denomination and authenticity of the banknotes transported in both directions, and can determine whether or not the banknotes are rejected.

At the bottom of the banknote handling device 1, from the front to the back, banknote storages 71 to 73 that store banknotes by denomination, and banknotes that are not treated as withdrawal banknotes or banknotes that the customer has forgotten to remove are stored. A banknote collection box 74 and a banknote scrutiny store 70 that loads and collects banknotes into and collects banknotes 71 to 73 and functions as a banknote loading unit are arranged. Banknote transport paths 70a to 74a are formed through the entrances and exits of the banknote scrutiny storage 70, the banknote storages 71 to 73, and the banknote collection storage 74.

The banknote transport path 10 is specifically a transport path for transporting banknotes as transport paths 10a to 10h, 30a, 40a, 75a, and the direction of the arrow indicates the direction in which the banknotes are transported.

Transport direction switching sections 50 to 59 are arranged at the confluence of each transport path, and the transport destination of banknotes can be changed by appropriately switching.

Further, the bill handling device 1 is provided with a bill posture correction unit 60, which is arranged in the transport path 10d as shown in the figure.

Next, in the basic operation of the banknote handling device 1, "deposit counting process", "deposit storage process", and "withdrawal process" will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the "payment counting process" will be described. The bills inserted into the deposit / withdrawal port 20 pass through the transport paths 10b, 10a, and 40a in this order, and are guided to the bill determination unit 40. If the banknote discriminating unit 40 determines that the banknote is a regular banknote, it passes through the transport paths 10d, 10e, and 30a in that order, and is transported to the temporary storage section 30. If the bill determination unit 40 does not determine that the bill is a regular bill, the transport direction switching unit 52 switches the transport route, passes through the transport paths 10d and 10c in that order, and returns the bill to the deposit / withdrawal port 20.
In this process, the banknotes are tilted and corrected by passing through the banknote posture correction unit 60 arranged in the transport path 10d. By this modification, the space between banknotes is secured, and the banknotes can be sorted by the transport direction switching unit 52 without colliding with each other.

Next, the "payment storage process" will be described. The banknotes stored in the temporary storage unit 30 pass through the transport paths 30a, 10e, 10d, and 40a in this order, and are guided to the banknote determination unit 40. If the banknote discriminating unit 40 determines that the banknote is a regular banknote, the banknotes pass in the order of transport paths 10a and 10g, and the transport path is switched by the transport direction switching units 57, 58, 59 for each type of banknote, and the transport path 71a or 72a. Alternatively, it passes through 73a and is transported to the banknote storages 71, 72, 73 suitable for the banknote. If the banknote discriminating unit 40 does not determine that the banknote is a regular banknote, the transfer direction switching unit 54, 55, 57, 58, 59 switches the transfer route, passes through the transfer paths 10a, 10g, and 10h in that order, and the banknote collection box 74. Or, the banknotes pass through the transport paths 10a, 10g, 10h, and 75a in this order and are transported to the banknote collection box 75. In this process, the banknotes are tilted and corrected by passing through the banknote posture correction unit 60 arranged in the transport path 10d. By this modification, the banknote spacing is secured, and the banknotes can be sorted at the transport direction switching units 54, 55, 57, 58, 59 without colliding.

Finally, "withdrawal processing" will be described. The banknotes stored in the banknote storages 71, 72, and 73 pass through the transport paths 10g, 10a, and 40a in this order, and are guided to the banknote discriminating unit 40. If the bill determination unit 40 determines that the bill is a regular bill, it passes through the transport paths 10d and 10c in this order and is transported to the deposit / withdrawal port 20. If the bill determination unit 40 does not determine that the bill is a regular bill, the transport direction switching unit 52 switches the transport route, passes through the transport paths 10d, 10e, 10f, and 10h in that order, and the transport direction switching unit 54 sets the transport route. It is switched and transported to the banknote collection boxes 74 and 75. In this process, the banknotes are tilted and corrected by passing through the banknote posture correction unit 60 arranged in the transport path 10d. By this modification, the space between banknotes is secured, and the banknotes can be sorted by the transport direction switching units 52 and 54 without colliding with each other.

Next, the bill posture correction unit 60 according to the present invention will be described.

As shown in FIG. 5, banknotes are stored in banknote storages 71, 72, 73 and banknote collection boxes 74, 75 for each type and state of banknotes. Therefore, the destination can be changed according to the denomination and state of the banknote, and the banknote can be transported between these and the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 20, the temporary storage section 30, the banknote discriminating section 40, the banknote scrutiny warehouse 70, and the banknote collection warehouse 75. It is equipped with transport direction switching units 50 to 59. The transport direction switching units 50 to 59 switch the transport destination between the bills being transported and the bills.

Further, in order to increase the number of processed sheets per unit time in response to a request for mass processing, it is necessary to shorten the bill spacing. At this time, if the bill spacing is shortened while the posture of the bill is tilted, there is a risk that the bills collide with the transport direction switching portions 50 to 59 during the transport destination switching operation, so that the bill spacing cannot be shortened.

In this embodiment, the bill posture correction unit 60 that corrects the inclination of the bill posture so that the number of processed sheets per unit time can be increased and the bill spacing can be shortened by taking the space between the transport direction switching unit 52 and the bill discriminating unit 40 as an example. Is provided. Of course, the bill posture correction unit 60 may be provided on the upstream side of the other transport direction switching units 50, 51, 53 to 59.

FIG. 1 is a top view of the bill posture correction unit 60, and FIG. 6 is a side view of the bill posture correction unit 60.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the bill posture correction unit 60 has transport drive rollers 601R / 601L, 602R / 602L, and 603R / 603L arranged from upstream to downstream in the traveling direction of the bill 605. The transport drive rollers 601R and 601L are attached to the shaft 601S so as to be arranged side by side with respect to the traveling direction of the banknote 605 (banknote 606). The transport drive rollers 601R and 601L rotate at the same rotation speed as the shaft 601S. Similarly, the transport drive rollers 602R, 602L, and 603R, 603L are aligned on the left and right with respect to the traveling direction of the banknote 605 (banknote 606) with respect to the traveling direction of the banknote 605 (banknote 606), respectively. , Attached to 603S.

For the transfer drive rollers 601R, 601L, 602R, 602L, 603R, and 603L, the transfer pressing rollers 607R are located at opposite positions of the transfer drive rollers so as to line up vertically with respect to the banknote 605 (banknote 606). , 607L, 608R, 608L, 609R, 609L are equipped. Taking the transfer drive rollers 601R and 607R as an example (the same applies to the other transfer drive rollers 601L, 602R, 602L, 603R, 603L), the transfer drive rollers 601R and 607R are niped so as to hold the bill 605 (banknote 606). Make up the points. Here, the nip means a state in which the transfer roller 601R and the transfer roller 607R are in pressure contact with each other in the transfer roller pair, and the nip point means the contact point between the pressure contacted transfer roller 601R and the transfer roller 607R. do.

Each transport drive roller is mounted on shafts 601S, 602S, 603S. The shafts 601S, 602S and 603S are rotatably supported by the side wall 604. By a transfer motor 1 (not shown), the transfer drive rollers 601R, 601L, 602R, 602L, 603R, and 603L rotate in the direction X in the transfer direction via belts and gears (not shown) and shafts 601S, 602S, and 603S. Each transport pressing roller is appropriately rotatably inserted into a shaft or the like, and is pressed against each of the opposite transport drive rollers by a pressure of a spring (not shown).

Nip points of transfer drive rollers 601R, 607R (transfer drive rollers 601L, 607L) (also referred to as the first transfer mechanism) and transfer drive rollers 602R, 608R (transfer drive rollers 602L, 608L) (also referred to as the third transfer mechanism). The distance D1 from the nip point of the banknote 605 is set to be narrower than the width H in the traveling direction of the banknote 605 (banknote 606). Further, the distance D2 between the nip points of the transfer drive rollers 602R and 608R (transfer drive rollers 602L and 608L) and the nip points of the transfer drive rollers 603R and 609R (transfer drive rollers 603L and 609L) (also referred to as the second transfer mechanism). (In this example, the distance D1 and the distance D2 are the same. Also referred to as the distance D) is set narrower than the width H in the traveling direction of the banknote 605 (banknote 606).

The transfer drive rollers 602R and 602L have smaller diameters than the transfer drive rollers 601R, 601L, 603R and 603L. Here, it is assumed that the shafts 601S, 602S, and 603S rotate at the same rotation speed, and the transfer speed (peripheral speed of the transfer drive roller) depends on the roller diameter. Therefore, the transfer speed Va of the transfer drive rollers 602R and 602L. (Also referred to as a third transport speed) is a transport speed V1 of the transport drive rollers 601R / 601L and 603R / 603L (also referred to as a first transport speed and a second transport speed, respectively. In this embodiment, the first transport speed is also used). And the second transfer speed are both slower than the constant speed at V1). Since the diameters of the transfer drive rollers 601R and 601L are the same as the diameters of the transfer drive rollers 603R and 603L, the transfer speeds of the transfer drive rollers 601R and 601L and the transfer speeds of the transfer drive rollers 603R and 603L are the same. Here, the transfer speed of the transfer drive rollers 603R and 603L may be set to be faster than the transfer speed of the transfer drive rollers 601R and 601L.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the leading side of the tilted banknote 605 arrives at the transport drive roller 602L, the leading side of the bill 605 is transported by the transport drive roller 602L at a transport speed Va. On the other hand, the lagging side of the bill 605 is conveyed at a transfer speed V1 faster than the transfer speed Va. As a result, the lagging side of the bill 605 can shorten the distance from the leading side and correct the inclination of the bill like the bill 606. That is, the inclination of the banknote can be corrected by applying a counterclockwise urging force to the banknote 605 by the transport drive rollers 602L and 608L.

The tilt-corrected banknote 605 (as banknote 606) is accelerated to the transfer speed V1 by the transfer drive rollers 603R (609R) and 603L (609L).

In addition, the transfer drive rollers 602R, 602L and the transfer drive rollers 601R, 601L, 603R, 603L have the same diameter, and the transfer drive rollers 602R, 602L and the transfer drive rollers 601R, 602R, 603R, 603L are driven by separate drive motors. May be. In the case of this configuration, since the speed difference between the transport speed V1 and the transport speed Va can be changed, there is an effect that the correction rate of the inclination can be changed.

It should be noted that the diameters of the transport drive rollers 601R (607R) and 601L (607L), the transport drive rollers 602R (608R), 602L ( The diameter of 608L) and the distance D1 between the nip points of the transfer drive rollers 601R (607R) and 601L (607L) and the nip points of the transfer drive rollers 602R (608R) and 602L (608L) can be determined.

A modified example of the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 6 will be described below as another embodiment. In the other examples, the parts different from the examples according to FIGS. 1 to 6 will be described. Therefore, the part where the explanation is omitted is the same as that of the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 6.

As shown in FIG. 7, the transport drive rollers 602R and 602L may have a larger diameter than the transport drive rollers 601R, 601L, 603R and 603L. In this configuration, when the leading side of the tilted banknote 605 arrives at the transport drive roller 603L, the leading side of the bill 605 is transported at the transport speed V1 by the transport drive roller 603L. On the other hand, since it is assumed here that the shafts 601S, 602S, and 603S rotate at the same rotation speed, the transport speed (peripheral speed of the transport drive roller) depends on the roller diameter. It is transported at a transport speed Va that is faster than the downstream transport speed V1. As a result, the inclination of the bill can be corrected as in the case where the transport drive rollers 602R and 602L have a small diameter, and the transport speed of the bill is not slower than the transport speed V1, so the number of processed sheets per unit time can be reduced. It has the effect of increasing.

When the banknote 605 is transported from the transfer drive rollers 601R and 601L to the transfer drive rollers 602R and 602L, the force applied to the banknote 605 is in the pulling direction, and the banknote 605 amplifies the inclination of the banknote 605 in order to resist the tension. Is relatively suppressed. On the other hand, when the banknote 605 is transported from the transport drive rollers 602R and 602L to the transport drive rollers 603R and 603L, the force applied to the bill 605 is the opposite compressive force, so that the inclination of the bill 605 is easily corrected.

If the transfer drive rollers 602R and 602L have smaller diameters than the transfer drive rollers 601R, 601L, 603R and 603L as shown in FIG. 8, the roller widths of the transfer drive rollers 601R and 601L and the transfer pressing rollers 607R and 607L are reduced. It may be configured.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, when the transport drive rollers 602R and 602L as shown in FIG. 7 have a larger diameter than the transport drive rollers 601R, 601L, 603R and 603L, the shafts 601S, 602S and 603S rotate at the same rotation speed. Since it is assumed that the transfer speed (peripheral speed of the transfer drive roller) depends on the roller diameter, as a modification, the roller width of the transfer drive rollers 602R and 602L and the transfer pressing rollers 608R and 608L is reduced. Is also good. In the case of these configurations, since the rear end of the bill becomes slippery when the tilt is corrected, there is an effect of suppressing problems such as paper jam due to deformation of the bill, bill tear, and deterioration of accuracy of tilt correction.

When the transfer drive rollers 602R and 602L have smaller diameters than the transfer drive rollers 601R, 601L, 603R and 603L (the transfer drive rollers shown in FIGS. 1, 6, 8, 10 and 12), the transfer drive rollers 601R are used. , 601L, the surface material of the transport pressing rollers 607R and 607L may be configured to use a material having a small friction coefficient, or the pressing force of the transport pressing rollers 607R and 607L may be weakened, or both. When the transfer drive rollers 602R and 602L have a larger diameter than the transfer drive rollers 601R, 601L, 603R and 603L (the transfer drive rollers shown in FIGS. 7, 9, 11 and 13), the transfer drive rollers 602R and 602L are used. , The surface material of the transport pressing rollers 608R and 608L may be configured to use a material having a small friction coefficient, or the pressing force of the transport pressing rollers 608R and 608L may be weakened, or both. In the case of these configurations, since the rear end of the bill becomes slippery when the tilt is corrected, there is an effect of suppressing problems such as paper jam due to deformation of the bill, bill tear, and deterioration of accuracy of tilt correction.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, when the transfer drive rollers 602R and 602L have smaller diameters than the transfer drive rollers 601R, 601L, 603R and 603L, the transfer drive rollers 601R and 601L may be configured by an omni wheel. In this case, the peripheral speed of the omni wheel (conveying drive rollers 601R, 601L) is driven to be faster than the peripheral speeds of the transport driving rollers 602R and 602L and slower than the peripheral speeds of the transport driving rollers 603R and 603L. NS.

That is, the peripheral speed of the omni wheel (conveying drive rollers 602R, 602L) is driven to be faster than the peripheral speeds of the transport driving rollers 6021 and 601L and slower than the peripheral speeds of the transport driving rollers 603R and 603L. .. In the case of these configurations, since the rear end of the bill becomes slippery when the tilt is corrected, there is an effect of suppressing problems such as paper jam due to deformation of the bill, bill tear, and deterioration of accuracy of tilt correction.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12, when the transfer drive rollers 602R and 602L have smaller diameters than the transfer drive rollers 601R, 601L, 603R and 603L, the intervals between the transfer drive rollers 602R and 602L and the intervals between the transfer pressing rollers 608R and 608L are increased. It may be a wide configuration.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13, when the transfer drive rollers 602R and 602L have a diameter larger than that of the transfer drive rollers 601R, 601L, 603R and 603L, the intervals between the transfer drive rollers 603R and 603L and the intervals between the transfer pressing rollers 609R and 609L. May be a wide configuration. In the case of these configurations, it takes a long time to correct the inclination, so that there is an effect of increasing the accuracy of correcting the inclination.

When the transfer drive rollers 602R and 602L have smaller diameters than the transfer drive rollers 601R, 601L, 603R and 603L (the transfer drive rollers shown in FIGS. 1, 6, 8, 10 and 12), the transfer drive rollers 602R , 602L, and the positions of the transport pressing rollers 608R and 608L in the rotation axis direction may be variable. When the transfer drive rollers 602R and 602L have a larger diameter than the transfer drive rollers 601R, 601L, 603R and 603L (the transfer drive rollers shown in FIGS. 7, 9, 11 and 13), the transfer drive rollers 603R and 603L are used. In addition, the positions of the transport pressing rollers 609R and 609L in the rotation axis direction may be variable. In the case of these configurations, the roller position can be changed according to the tilted state of the bill, the size of the bill, and the position in the width direction of the bill, so that there is an effect of increasing the accuracy of tilt correction.

When the transfer drive rollers 602R and 602L have smaller diameters than the transfer drive rollers 601R, 601L, 603R and 603L (the transfer drive rollers shown in FIGS. 1, 6, 8, 10 and 12), the transfer drive rollers 602R , 602L and the transfer motor may be connected via a one-way clutch. When the transfer drive rollers 602R and 602L have a larger diameter than the transfer drive rollers 601R, 601L, 603R and 603L (the transfer drive rollers shown in FIGS. 7, 9, 11 and 13), the transfer drive rollers 601R and 601L are used. And the transfer motor may be connected via a one-way clutch. In these configurations, when a bill is delivered from a roller with a slow transport speed to a roller with a high transport speed, the roller with a slow transport speed is accelerated to the speed of the roller with a high transport speed via the bill, so that the inclination is corrected. It has the effect of suppressing the problem of deterioration of accuracy.
