Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Technical Field] The present invention relates to a paper sheet sorting and counting device that receives, automatically detects, sorts, and counts banknotes, for example.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

In recent years, cash sorting and counting devices have been put into practical use that accept banknotes (paper sheets) of multiple denominations all at once, automatically inspect them, and sort and count them. In such a cash sorting and counting machine, each banknote of 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, 1,000 yen, and 500 yen is usually inspected according to the detection signal of the banknote detector, and the banknotes are divided into four accumulations according to the inspection results. It is now possible to collect and count data separately.

However, with such a device, if a banknote detector is not installed during testing, the reject function etc. can be confirmed, but other functions such as sorting and stacking cannot be confirmed because the banknote inspection results are not output. Another drawback is that the original functions of the device cannot be checked or adjusted unless cash is used.

[Purpose of the invention]

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances,
The purpose is to provide a paper sheet sorting and counting device that allows you to check the sorting and counting functions without using cash, eliminates the need for caution and trouble with cash, and is easy to maintain and adjust. It's about doing.

[Summary of the invention]

In the normal mode, the paper sheets are sorted and stacked in the stacking section according to the detection result of the type of paper sheets, and in the test mode, the paper sheets are sorted and stacked in accordance with the pseudo output every time the paper sheets are supplied. It is designed to separate and accumulate the types in the accumulation section.

The safe 13 ₁ , 1 described later can be prevented from being manually opened and closed.
This has the unique effect of ensuring the safety of the banknotes stored in the banknotes 3 ₂ , 13 ₃ , and 13 ₄ . Although not shown, a timing cam is attached to the tip of the motor shaft of the reversible motor 76, and when the cam follower 79 reaches the starting end 77b and the terminal end 77c of the cam groove 77a, a micro switch (not shown) is actuated. Based on the output from this microswitch, the rotation of the reversible motor 76 is controlled via an appropriate control device.

The concrete structure of the safes 13 ₁ , . . . is as shown in FIG. 5, and is located below the partition portion 63 and detachably attached to the main body 3 of the device.

b is formed, and a guide groove 67c for the cover plate is provided along the upper edge so that the upper opening 67a of the safe can be closed and locked if necessary. A transparent hole 67d of the detector 80 is formed in the vicinity of the upper end of the safe ₁₃₁ so as to face each other. A backup board 81 is inserted into the safe ₁₃₁ . This backup board 8
One end of the safe 13 ₁ protrudes from a vertically elongated guide hole 82 formed in one side wall of the safe 13 1 . The elevator mechanism 83 is engaged with this protruding end.
That is, a belt 85 is looped around two pulleys 84 that are pivotally supported apart from each other in the vertical direction, and one of the pulleys 84 is connected to a drive motor 86 that can freely rotate in forward and reverse directions. A hook 87 having a groove 87a is attached to a part of the belt 85. Further, the protruding end of the backup plate 81 is attached to a hook 87.
When the detector 80 detects the passage of a bill, the drive motor 86 is driven, and the backup plate 81 can be gradually lowered inside the safe ₁₃₁ . When the safe ₁₃₁ is moved in the direction of the groove 87a, the backup plate 81 can be attached to and removed from the groove 87a.

In the storage section 14 configured in this way, when the grooved cam 77 is rotated in the direction of arrow J via the reversible motor 76, the cam lever 78 is rotated in the direction of arrow K due to the action of the cam follower 79 that engages with the cam groove 77a. Rotated. This rotation is transmitted to the second partition plate 72 via the engagement hole 72b.

Such a storage section 14 is provided with a two-stage partition mechanism 66 consisting of first and second partition plates 71, 72, etc., so both partition plates 71, 72, etc.
The movement space required to open and close the safe 72 can be reduced to about half that of the conventional one-stage type, and the space between the safes 13 ₁ , ... can be narrowed, making it possible to downsize the storage device. becomes.

As shown in FIG. 1, the coin processing device 2 includes a plurality of temporary stacking units 32 that distinguish and sort the coins C input from the hopper 31 and then stack them for each denomination.
₁ , 32 ₂ , 32 ₃ , 32 ₄ , 32 ₅ , 32 ₆ , and a plurality of safes 34 ₁ , 34 that collectively store the coins C after they have been accumulated in the stack 33 .
Storage section 3 consisting of ₂ , 34 ₃ , 34 ₄ , 34 ₅ , 34 ₆
It consists of 5.

FIG. 6 shows the entire electrical circuit. That is, the control unit 100 stores the number of processed banknotes P and coins C for each denomination in the storage unit 101 based on signals indicating the safe, authenticity, etc., and account numbers output from the detection unit 15. It is stored in the number memory area consisting of the number memory (storage unit) ₁₀₃ , .
₁ , etc. are cumulatively stored in the cumulative storage area in the storage unit 101, and the printing unit 1
02, a journal in which these are printed is issued. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the control section 100 inputs the denomination signals from the detection section 15 to adders 111, . . .
Add the contents of ... and store the addition result in number memory 1.
By storing in 03, . . . , the count contents are stored. In addition, the above number of sheets memory 1

3, etc. are battery (backup power supply) 1
13.

Further, the control unit 100 converts the operating status of the equipment, such as changes in equipment status, abnormality occurrence information, and occurrence time, into an error code, and causes the printing unit 102 to issue a journal in which the operating status is printed. be. Further, the control section 100 controls a mechanism control section 104 that drives an internal mechanism according to a denomination signal from a banknote discriminating section 130, which will be described later. Furthermore, when the control section 100 is printing the count contents of the sheet number memory 103, . In addition, the storage unit 101 is backed up by the battery 113.

Further, when the detector 80 provided in the safes 13 ₁ to 13 ₄ detects that the banknotes are full, the control unit 100 does not stop processing the banknotes, etc., but continues processing the banknotes, etc. The banknotes and the like are controlled to be stacked in the temporary stacking sections 11 ₁ to 11 ₄ . In addition, the temporary accumulation section 11 at this time
₁ to 11 ₄ is detected by a detector (not shown) or the like.

Further, within the control section 100, there is provided a bill discriminating section 130 for discriminating the type of bill. The banknote discriminating unit 130 includes ROMs (read-only memories) 132, 133, 134, and 135 in which fixed detection output programs, cyclic pseudo output programs, random pseudo output programs, fixed pseudo output programs, etc. are stored, respectively, and the card information. Every time a detection signal is supplied from the photodetector ₁₅₆ according to the operation mode from the detection unit 110A.
It is comprised of a selection circuit 131 that selects the outputs of the ROMs 132 to 135 or the output of the note type discriminating circuit 16 and stores it in the latch circuit 136.

When the selection circuit 131 is in the fixed detection mode,
The program in the ROM 132 is selected and, for example, one type of discrimination result supplied from the ticket type discrimination circuit 16 is output. In the cycle pseudo detection output mode, the program in the ROM 133 is selected and the photodetector 15 ₆ is output. Each time a detection signal is supplied, a denomination signal is periodically output as a pseudo output in the order of 500 yen note, 1000 yen note, 5000 yen note, 10,000 yen note, and 500 yen note. In the random pseudo detection output mode, the program in the ROM 134 is selected, and each time a detection signal is supplied from the photodetector ₁₅₆ , a 500 yen note, 10,000 yen note, 1,000 yen note, 500 yen is generated as a pseudo output. It is designed to randomly output denomination signals in the order of tickets.
In the fixed pseudo detection output mode, the program in the ROM 136 is selected to output one type of pseudo output, for example, a denomination signal of a thousand yen note, each time a detection signal is supplied from the photodetector ₁₅₆ .
In the normal mode, the output of the denomination discrimination circuit 16 is selected, and each time a detection signal is supplied from the photodetector ₁₅₆ , the denomination signal is output as is.

Next, the operation in such a configuration will be explained. First, the operator opens the card slot 110.
Insert the operation mode instruction card into the banknote P.
Alternatively, paper sheets P' of the same size as banknotes P are thrown into the slot 6 in an upright position in the same direction, and the counting start key 23 is pressed. Then, the control unit 100
causes the mechanism control section 104 to be driven, and also causes the counting start key 23 to light up. When the counting start key 23 is pressed, the card information detection unit 110A determines the mode based on the information on the inserted operation mode instruction card. That is, based on this determination result, the normal detection mode, fixed detection mode, cyclic pseudo detection output mode, random pseudo detection output mode, and fixed pseudo detection output mode are discriminated. This discrimination result is supplied to the banknote discrimination section 130 within the control section 100.

Therefore, when the normal operation mode is determined, the selection circuit 131 outputs the bill type signal from the bill type discrimination circuit 16 via the latch circuit 136 every time the detection signal from the photodetector ₁₅₆ is supplied. do. The bill type circuit 16 has a photodetector 1 at the tip of the bill P.
₅₆ , the bill type discrimination circuit 16 checks the status of the photodetectors ₁₅₁ to ₁₅₅ based on the detection signal, and if only the photodetector ₁₅₅ detects the bill P, it is a 500 yen bill. The photodetector 15 ₅ ,1
5 ₄ detects a banknote P, it is determined that it is a 1,000 yen note, and when the photodetectors 15 ₅ , 15 ₄ , 15 ₃ detect a banknote P, it is determined that it is a 5,000 yen note, and the light When the detectors 15 ₅ , 15 ₄ , 15 ₃ , 15 ₂ detect the bill P, it is determined that it is a 10,000 yen bill, and the photodetectors 15 ₅ to 1
If 5 ₁ detects the bill P, it is determined that it is a reject bill.

Thereby, the control section 100 controls the mechanism control section 104 according to the denomination signal. As a result, banknotes P are sorted and stacked in separate temporary stacking units 11 ₁ , ... for each denomination according to the amount discrimination result, and when all the inserted banknotes P are stacked, the denomination sorting and accumulation operation is stopped. . After that, if more banknotes P are inserted and the start key is pressed again, the same denomination sorting and accumulation operation as described above will be repeated. Note that during these denomination classification and accumulation operations, the control section 1
00 uses adders 111, . . . to count the number of coins for each denomination, and displays the counted numbers on the corresponding number displays 41a to 41d. Based on these display contents, the operator confirms the number and amount of banknotes that he or she knew before processing the banknotes.

When the above-described denomination sorting and collection operation is completed for all banknotes P inserted into the input slot 6, the control unit 100 uses the detectors 80 provided in the safes 13 ₁ to 13 ₄ to detect the safes. Determine whether it is full. If it is determined that the space is not full, the operator will be given storage key 2.
4, and based on this instruction, the partition mechanism 66 is operated to store the stacked banknotes P in the safes 13 ₁ to 13 ₄ . Then, by opening the gate of the AND circuit 112, the number of coins for each denomination in the coin count memory 103, . . . is output. As a result, the control unit 10
0 aggregates data such as total amount and total number of sheets,
Printing unit 1 prints the total amount and total number of banknotes P for each denomination.
Transfer it to 02 and print it out along with the processing date and time. When it is determined that the safe is full, the operator is made to take out the temporarily accumulated banknotes P. At this time, the total number of banknotes P and the total amount are not printed. Note that even when coins are used, the same operation as described above will be performed in the coin processing device.

Next, when the fixed detection mode for the 500 yen note is determined, the selection circuit 131 selects the fixed detection output program of the ROM 132, and only when the 500 yen note discrimination signal is supplied from the denomination discrimination circuit 16. , outputs the denomination signal through the latch circuit 136, and outputs a reject signal for other notes through the latch circuit 1.
36. As a result, the control unit 10
0 causes the mechanism control unit 104 to be controlled according to the denomination signal or reject signal. As a result,
Paper P', which is the same length as a 500 yen bill, is stored in the temporary storage section 11 ₁
Sheets P' of other lengths are accumulated in the reject port 7, and when all of the input sheets P' are accumulated, the sorting and accumulating operation is stopped.

Therefore, by checking the paper P' in the reject port 7 and the paper P' in the temporary stacking section ₁₁₁ , the operator determines whether the sorting and stacking of the 500 yen bills has been performed correctly.

Further, the stacking unit check for 1,000 yen notes, 5,000 yen notes, and 10,000 yen notes can also be performed in the same manner as described above.

Next, when the cyclic pseudo output mode is determined, the selection circuit 131 selects the cyclic pseudo output program in the ROM 133, and each time the paper P' passes through the photodetector ₁₅₆ , a 500 yen note, a 1,000 yen note,
A pseudo denomination signal is repeatedly outputted via the latch circuit 136 in the order of the 5,000 yen note and the 10,000 yen note.

Thereby, the control section 100 controls the mechanism control section 104 according to the denomination signal. As a result, sheets P' having the same length as each ticket are separately stacked in the corresponding temporary stacking section. By checking this stacking state, it is determined whether correct sorting and stacking is being performed.

Next, if the random pseudo output mode is determined, the selection circuit 131 selects the random pseudo output program in the ROM 134, and the paper P' is
5 Every time you pass ₆ , you will receive a 500 yen ticket, 10,000 yen ticket, 1,000 yen ticket,
A pseudo denomination signal of a 500 yen note and a 5000 yen note is randomly outputted via the latch circuit 136.

Thereby, the control section 100 controls the mechanism control section 104 according to the denomination signal. As a result, sheets P' having the same length as each ticket are separately stacked in the corresponding temporary stacking section. By checking this stacking state, it is determined whether correct sorting and stacking is being performed.

Next, if the fixed pseudo output mode for the 1,000 yen note is determined, the selection circuit 131 selects the fixed pseudo output program in the ROM 135, and the paper P'
5 to ₆ , a pseudo denomination signal of a thousand yen note is outputted via the latch circuit 136.

Thereby, the control section 100 controls the mechanism control section 104 according to the denomination signal. As a result, the sheets P' are sorted and stacked in the temporary stacking section ₁₁₂ .
Then, by checking the stacking status of each temporary stacking section 11 ₁ , ... and checking whether all sheets P' are stacked in the temporary stacking section 11 ₂ , it is determined whether correct sorting and stacking is being performed. do. Therefore, the temporary accumulation unit 11 ₂
You can check whether the information has been correctly accumulated.

Furthermore, an individual pseudo-accumulation check for 500 yen, 5000 yen, and 10,000 yen notes other than 1,000 yen notes can also be performed in the same manner as described above.

As described above, in the above embodiment, the operation mode can be set by inserting the detection operation mode instruction card, and efficient adjustment and maintenance can be facilitated by using the different modes. It should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples, and within the scope of the gist of the present invention,
Various implementation variations are possible.

For example, it is also possible to provide a changeover switch inside the mechanism for maintenance personnel as means for setting the detection operation mode, and to set the mode by operating the changeover switch. Furthermore, although length detection has been described as an example of detection, other detection functions can also be implemented.
