[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a paper sheet processing apparatus such as an automatic depositing machine or an automatic cash machine as a financial device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, financial instruments such as automatic depositing machines and automatic cash machines perform processing such as inspection, discrimination, and sorting while transporting banknotes as paper sheets. Is becoming Therefore, in this type of equipment, it is important that the bills are conveyed in a correct state.

In this type of equipment, it is the adjustment of the take-in port for taking in the bill that influences the state of conveyance of the bill. However, in reality, whether the bills are skewed and conveyed, and whether the pitch is appropriate or not depend on the adjustment according to the adjustment value of the inlet, but regarding fine adjustment, the adjuster I had to rely on my intuition.

Now, the adjustment of the take-in port for feeding the bills onto the conveying path is mechanically performed according to the adjustment value. However, the poor conveyance state affects the performance of the discriminating device or the like before it becomes difficult to convey the bill. For this reason,
Each time a misjudgment or misjudgment was made, it took time to readjust. This is because it is not possible to visually check in what state the bills taken in through the inlet are conveyed. Similarly, there is a drawback that the cause of the misjudgment is that it is due to a failure of the discriminating device, that it is due to poor conveyance, or that it cannot be determined simply by conveying the bill.

[0005]

As described above, in the prior art, the adjustment of the inlet is performed mechanically, and it is not possible to visually confirm the conveyance state of the bills. It takes time and it is difficult to determine the cause of the malfunction.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet processing apparatus which can shorten the adjustment time and can quickly and accurately determine a malfunction without using a measuring device or the like. [Constitution of Invention]

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in a paper sheet processing apparatus of the present invention, a paper sheet is conveyed while being processed. A plurality of detecting means for detecting the states of the paper sheets, a management means for obtaining various information regarding the paper sheets from the outputs of the plurality of detecting means, and managing the information, and the paper sheets managed by the managing means. And a display means for displaying various kinds of information regarding the information.

[0008]

According to the present invention, since the state of the paper sheet when the paper sheet is actually conveyed can be visually understood by the above-mentioned means, fine adjustment becomes easy and the paper sheet It is possible to carry the paper in an appropriate state.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 5 shows a schematic configuration of a financial device according to the present invention.

That is, this financial device has an intake port 100 for taking in the banknote A as a paper sheet, and the intake port 100.
The banknote A is further configured to include a discriminating device 102 that performs a discriminating process while conveying the bill A sent into the conveying path 101 in the direction of the arrow in the figure. FIG. 1 shows a main part of the configuration of the discriminating apparatus 102.

That is, the main control unit 8 for controlling the whole has a memory 9, a switch 10, a display unit 11, and an I / O.
The first and second auxiliary control units 4 and 5 are connected via the F circuit 12.

The first auxiliary control unit 4 has, for example, a bill A.
The two sensors 1 and 2 for detecting the conveyance state, that is, the skew conveyance, and the memory 6 for managing the skew data are connected. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, when the right side of the banknote A is delayed with respect to the conveying direction (the arrow shown in the figure) is a negative skew, and when the left side of the banknote A is delayed is a plus skew, and the respective inclinations (−θ °). , + Θ °)
Is used to obtain skew data. To the second auxiliary control unit 5, for example, a sensor 3 for discriminating the denomination of the bill A and a memory 7 for managing the discrimination data are connected. The switch 10 is for switching display data on the display unit 11.

The display unit 11 is usually for displaying an error code or a reject code in the discriminating apparatus 102, and is adapted to display skew data by operating the switch 10 described above. This display unit 11
Is composed of, for example, two 7-segment LEDs. Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.

For example, when adjusting the intake port 100, the switch 10 first sets the display of the display unit 11 to skew data. Then, after the intake port 100 is adjusted according to the adjustment value, some banknotes A are set in the intake port 100. The bill A is taken in through the taking-in port 100, conveyed through the conveying path 101, and sent to the discriminating device 102.

The state of the bill A guided to the discriminating device 102 is detected by the sensors 1 and 2 during the transportation. Then, from the detection outputs of these sensors 1 and 2, the first
Skew data is obtained by the auxiliary control unit 4 of FIG. The obtained skew data is managed in the memory 6.

On the other hand, the main controller 8 outputs a signal requesting skew data. This signal is sent via the I / F circuit 12 to the first auxiliary controller 4 that manages skew data.

When the skew data request signal from the main control unit 8 is received by the first auxiliary control unit 4, the memory 6 is received.
More skew data is sucked up. This skew data is sent to the main controller 8 via the I / F circuit 12. The above operation is repeated for the number of banknotes A set in the inlet 100 and conveyed to the discriminating apparatus 102.

The skew data sent to the main controller 8 is
It is displayed on the display unit 11. In this case, the skew data is displayed by the number of illuminated dots of the 7-segment LED configuring the display unit 11. In the case of the negative skew shown in FIG. 2A, for example, the 7-segment LED on the left side constituting the display unit 11 is used. When the positive skew is shown in FIG. 2B, the right side constituting the display unit 11, for example. 7-segment LED
It is supposed to be done using.

That is, when the bill A is negatively skewed with an inclination of 6 °, for example, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (a), 7 segments L on the left side of the display unit 11
Six segments (dots) of the ED 11a are turned on. If the image is positively skewed with an inclination of 3 °, for example, as shown in FIG.
Three segments of the 7-segment LED 11b on the right side of 1 are turned on. Thereby, even if the bill A is conveyed at high speed and the display is switched at high speed, the skew data can be easily viewed.

In this way, as a result of actually adjusting the take-in port 100 and actually carrying the bill A, the skew state is displayed in real time so that it can be easily confirmed. Therefore, by performing readjustment or fine adjustment of the intake port 100 based on the display on the display unit 11, the adjustment can be easily and accurately performed. As described above, it is possible to visually understand the conveyance state of the bill when the bill is actually conveyed.

That is, the direction and amount of skew are displayed on the display unit. As a result, the degree of adjustment can be easily grasped, and readjustment and fine adjustment are facilitated. Therefore, the adjustment time can be shortened. In addition, since the bills can be conveyed in an appropriate state, without using a measuring instrument or the like,
The malfunction can be quickly and accurately determined.

In the above embodiment, the skew conveyance is described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the skew conveyance may be used for evaluating whether or not a bill is torn normally.

That is, the amount of breakage (a ×
The banknote B whose b) is known in advance is flown, and the amount of this breakage is displayed on the display unit. Then, by collating the displayed value with the actual amount of breakage, it is possible to evaluate whether the judgment regarding breakage can be normally made. Further, not only the amount of tear but also the length and thickness of the bill, the conveyance pitch, or the like may be checked. further,
The invention can be applied not only to banknotes, but also to various paper sheets such as mail and securities. Of course, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
