Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform transfer-processing of a mode without on-off operating a switch and a power supply or the like by selectably providing an action mode with individual information and a specific code at the time of trouble generation, related to a feeding storage part, left as input to a data memory part. CONSTITUTION:Paper sheets 3, inserted into a conveying path 4 from an inser tion part 2 of a main unit 1, are classification-recognized in a recognition part 5, and a classification data is fed to a control part 6. Here in addition to a work program execution mode of the above described individual information or the like, a specific code for indicating transfer processing, in the case of generating a trouble during operation, is left as input to a data memory part 8. Thus only by selectively operating an operating part 9, an action mode is easily selected to a test mode from the work program execution mode so that the mode can be displayed.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a paper sheet conveying device that categorizes conveyed paper sheets and stores them in respective storage sections. The present invention relates to a paper sheet conveying device with an improved switching means when switching the operation mode from mode to test mode.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, paper sheet conveying devices that classify conveyed paper sheets and store them in their respective storage sections have a test mode that performs operational tests when a failure occurs or during maintenance inspections, etc. It is preparation. As a result, when a failure occurs, a mode changeover switch or the like is operated to switch to a test mode.

[Problems to be Solved] As described above, in the conventional paper sheet conveying device, a switch had to be operated every time the mode was changed. Further, since it is necessary to perform power on/off operations and the like during the switching operation, there is a problem in that the transition process is complicated. There is also the problem that if the operating procedure at the time of migration is incorrect, a secondary failure may occur.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems.
To provide a paper sheet conveying device capable of switching modes with simple transition processing and preventing secondary failures.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the paper sheet conveyance '9i device of the present invention is a paper sheet conveyance device that classifies the conveyed paper sheets and stores them in respective storage sections. The configuration includes mode switching means for switching the operating mode by inputting a code for switching the operating mode.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 is an external perspective view of the paper sheet conveying device in this embodiment, and Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the conveyance path inside the device. 5 is a recognition unit provided in the middle of the conveyance path 4, and 5 is a recognition unit provided in the middle of the conveyance path 4, into which paper sheets 3, which are processing media, are bundled and inserted. The classification of the paper sheet 3 is read and the classification data is output. Note that the recognition unit 5
In this case, a magnetic ink medium recognition reader or an optical medium recognition reader is used as a medium reading/recognition device. Reference numeral 6 denotes a control unit which inputs the classification data of each paper sheet 3 from the recognition unit 5 and controls the conveyance path 4 so that each paper sheet 3 is stored according to its category based on individual information from a data storage unit, which will be described later. A signal is sent to a plurality of storage sections 7 provided on an extension of the storage section 7.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a data storage section, which stores business program execution modes such as individual information such as which type of paper sheet 3 should be stored in which storage section 7. In addition to the business program execution mode, the data storage unit 8 also stores a test mode for investigating the cause and performing recovery processing when a failure occurs. These operating modes are manually operated and mode switching is performed using the operating section 9.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a display section, which displays operational guidance for mode switching, etc. to the operator. When a failure occurs and the operation mode is switched to the test mode, a test menu is displayed on the display unit 10 until the test mode is shifted to the business program execution mode.

Next, the operation of the paper sheet conveying device having the above-described configuration will be explained.

First, before operating the main body l, operate the operation unit 9 to store individual information on which type of paper sheets 3 should be stored in which storage unit 7 via the control unit 6. Enter it in section 8. Then, a specific code for transitioning from the business program execution mode to the test mode when a failure occurs, for example, a several-digit code consisting of alphanumeric characters, etc., is input at the same time.

Next, the main body 1 is operated by operating the operating section 8, and paper sheets 3 are inserted into the insertion section 2 of the main body 1 for sorting. The inserted paper sheets 3 flow one after another on the conveyance path 4 and are sent to the recognition section 5. The recognition unit 5 recognizes the type of each sent paper sheet 3 and sends the type data to the control unit 6. The control section 6 compares the sent classification data with the individual information stored in the data storage section 8, and sends a signal individually to the storage section 7 to be stored.

Thereby, the paper sheets 3 are respectively stored in the storage sections 7 to be stored by selective operation of gates (not shown) provided at the entrances of the respective storage sections. If a failure occurs while operating the main body 1, a predetermined specific code is inputted from the operation unit 9. When a specific code is entered,
The test program section of the data storage section 8 is activated, and the operation mode or business program execution mode is switched to the test mode. At the same time, a test menu prompting the next operation is displayed on the display unit 10. This allows the operator to quickly investigate the cause of a failure or perform recovery processing based on the displayed test menu.

Note that the test menu is displayed until the test mode is shifted to the business block execution mode after the cause investigation or recovery processing, thereby preventing the operator from making erroneous operations.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the paper sheet conveying device of the present invention can perform mode switching through simple transition processing, and can also prevent secondary failures.
