BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a banknote arranging device for aligning the direction of banknotes, and more particularly to a banknote arranging device which does not require a specific vertical arranging mechanism and uses only the front and back direction arranging mechanism. Of the banknote, which can be aligned in the front-back direction and the vertical direction.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A predetermined number of banknotes of the same denomination (usually 10
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, banknote banding devices that automatically band and bind in units of 0 sheet have been widely used in banks and the like. FIG.
Shows an example of a conventional bill banding device. In general, banknotes B of the same denomination are set in the hopper 2 in a stacked state with the front and back directions and the vertical directions being uneven. The banknotes set in the hopper 2 in this way are
As represented by the rectangular blocks B1 to B4,
It may be supplied in up to four different directions in the front-back direction and the vertical direction. In the rectangular blocks B1 to B4, the symbol “◯” indicates that the banknote is face-up (that is, the side including the person image is on the front side), and the symbol “x” indicates that the banknote is face-down. "," And the "↑" indicates that the banknote is facing up and down (ie,
The portion of the head of the person image is on the predetermined side), and the symbol "↓" indicates that the banknote is upside down.
Therefore, here, the rectangular block B1 having the symbols “◯” and “↑” is the banknote B1 that is face-up and vertically positive.
And a rectangular block B2 having the symbols "○" and "↓" indicates a banknote B2 that is face up but upside down,
Also, a rectangular block B having the symbols "x" and "↑"
3 indicates a banknote B3 which is face down and faces upside down, and the rectangular block B4 having only the symbols "x" and "↓" is
It is assumed that the banknote B4 is face down and upside down.

Banknotes B1 to B4 set in the hopper 2
Are supplied to the determination unit 4 one by one in any of the above four types of orientations, and the orientation is determined by the determination unit 4. Next, in the case of this conventional example, the banknotes B1 and B2 determined to be face-up are sent to the front-side banknote banding standby stacker 7 provided immediately before the band-sealing processing unit 6. Also,
The banknotes B3 and B4 determined to be face down are sent to the banding standby stacker 8 for banknotes facing down, which is provided immediately before the banding processing unit 6. Thus, the banding standby stacker 7 for the front-side bills or the banding standby stacker 8 for the back-side bills
When the predetermined number of banknotes B1, B2 or B3, B4 are accumulated in a stacked state, the predetermined number of the frontward banknotes B1, B2 or the backside banknote B is accumulated in the banding processing unit 6.
3, B4 is subjected to a process of bundling with a paper band 9 and binding.

[0004]

However, in the configuration of the above-mentioned conventional bill banding device, a large number of bills B are aligned in the front-back direction (strictly speaking, the front-face bills B1, B2 and the back-face bill B3). , B4 only) and cannot be aligned in the vertical direction. However, in reality, there are many needs to want the banknotes to be aligned not only in the front-back direction but also in the vertical direction. For example, as for an automatic money changer, it is preferable to discharge a plurality of banknotes not only in the front-back direction but also in the vertical direction to the customer, so that a banknote bundle bundled in the front-back direction is aligned. Again, I manually set the sheets one by one so that the vertical direction is also the same, and this is very troublesome.

Further, since the banding processing section 6 is configured to always wind and band the paper band 9 from one fixed direction, in the above-mentioned conventional banding device for banknotes, the frontal banknotes B1 and B2 are On the front side of the bundle or the bundle of banknotes B3 and B4 facing down (in the illustrated example, the bundle of banknotes B1 and B2 facing up),
There is a problem in that the cut portion of the paper strip 9 is exposed, which is aesthetically unfavorable.

Further, in the bill banding device shown in FIG. 4, as a measure for enabling the bills to be aligned in the vertical direction, the bills B2 and B4 are turned upside down.
Is turned upside down and turned upside down 180 degrees about the longitudinal axis of the banknote, that is, the longitudinal axis TA (only shown for the banknote B4 in FIG. 4), so that the front-side banknote bundling standby stacker 7 The banknotes B1 and B4 are accumulated in the banknote stacker, and the banknote
It is conceivable to integrate 2, B3. However, also in this case, the banknotes B1 and B4 in the accumulated state
Since the bills B2 and B3 are opposite to each other in the front and back sides, the cut portion of the paper strip 9 is on the front surface side of the bundle of bills B1 and B4 facing up or the bundle of bills B2 and B3 facing down for the above reason. Exposed.

Further, in order to strictly deal with the above needs, a mechanism for aligning the front and back directions of the bills,
A mechanism for aligning the vertical direction may be provided separately, but in this case, the device becomes large and complicated, and
There is an inconvenience that the cost of the device increases. The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and uses only the front-back direction rearranging mechanism to align the front-back direction and the vertical direction of a large number of banknotes without the need for a specific vertical direction rearranging mechanism. An object of the present invention is to provide a banknote direction sorting device that can be used.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, a banknote direction sorting device according to a first aspect of the present invention is

Also, it is determined whether the hopper means for supplying the banknotes and the direction of the banknotes supplied from the hopper means are any of the above-mentioned directions in any one of the fourth direction which is face down and upside down. Based on the determination means and the determination result of the determination means, the banknotes supplied from the hopper means are classified into banknote groups of the first direction and the fourth direction, and banknotes of the second direction and the third direction. Among the banknotes in one of the first direction and the banknotes in the fourth direction distributed by the distribution means and the banknotes in one of the directions, the distribution means that distributes the banknotes to the banknotes in the other direction. Front and back, and thereby the bills in the first direction and the fourth direction are automatically arranged in a state in which the front and back directions and the vertical direction are aligned; Organized banknote stacker for stacking the banknotes discharged from the inverting means in a state in which the front and back directions and the vertical direction are aligned, and the second and third directions of the banknotes sorted by the sorting means. An unarranged banknote collecting stacker for collecting banknotes, wherein the banknotes in the second direction and the third direction accumulated in the unarranged banknote collecting stacker are centered on the short axis of the banknote. Only by performing an operation of reversing the front and back by 180 ° and resetting it on the hopper means, the hopper means supplies the hopper means in the first direction and the fourth direction respectively, and the direction is automatically changed through the front and back reversing means. It is characterized by being able to organize.

A banknote direction organizing apparatus according to a second aspect of the present invention has a first direction that is face-up and vertically positive,
A hopper means for supplying banknotes in any one of a second direction which is face up and upside down, a third direction which is face down and upright and a fourth direction which is face down and upside down, and Based on the determination means for determining which of the above-mentioned directions the bill supplied from the hopper means is, and the banknote supplied from the hopper means based on the determination result of the determination means, Direction and fourth direction banknote groups, and the second direction and third direction banknote group groups are distributed, and the second and third directions distributed by the distribution means. Of the banknotes in one of the above-mentioned directions, the banknotes in one of the above-mentioned directions are turned upside down relative to the other banknotes in the above-mentioned direction, whereby the banknotes in the second direction and the third direction are automatically In the front and back direction And a front and back reversing means for rearranging them in a state in which the vertical direction is aligned, and a rearranged banknote stacker for accumulating the banknotes discharged in a state in which the front and back direction and the vertical direction are aligned from the front and back reversing means.

It is characterized in that it is supplied from the hopper means in the second direction and the third direction, and the direction can be automatically rearranged through the front and back reversing means.

[0010]

In the banknote sorting device according to the first aspect, the determining means is such that the banknote supplied from the hopper means has a first direction in which the banknote is face-up and is positive in the vertical direction, and a direction in which the banknote is face-up and is upside down. It is determined which of the second direction, the third direction in which the face is facing down and the upside down is the third direction, and the fourth direction which is in the face down and facing upside down. The sorting means, based on the determination result of the determination means, selects the banknotes supplied from the hopper means from the group of banknotes in the first direction and the fourth direction and the banknotes in the second direction and the third direction. Divide into banknote groups. The front and back reversing means relatively reverses the banknotes in one of the first direction and the fourth direction banknotes distributed by the distribution means to the banknotes in the other direction. Invert. In this way, the front and back reversing means aligns the bills in the first direction and the fourth direction (that is, the front and back directions and the vertical direction are opposite to each other) in the front and back directions and the vertical direction. Can be organized into
The sorted banknote stacker collects banknotes discharged from the front / back reversing unit in a state in which the front / back direction and the vertical direction are aligned.

On the other hand, the bills in the second direction and the third direction sorted by the sorting means are stacked in the unsorted bill collecting stacker without being sorted in direction by the front / back reversing means. The banknotes in the second direction and the third direction accumulated in the stacker for collecting unsorted banknotes as described above are collectively turned upside down 180 ° about the horizontal axis or the short axis of the banknote, and then It is reset in the hopper means. This 180 ° front / back inversion can be performed manually and quickly and easily. In this way, the banknotes that were in the second direction and the third direction are
Re-set on the hopper means in the first and fourth directions, respectively, so that, like the banknotes in the first and fourth directions, they are automatically reoriented by the front and back flipping means. You can

The banknotes in the direction of 1 are discharged to the sorted banknote stacker in a predetermined direction while being rotated and guided in one of the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise direction, and the other rotator rotates the fourth bank.
The banknotes in the above direction are discharged to the sorted banknote stacker in the predetermined direction while being rotated and guided in the other of the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise direction. It is preferable that these rotating bodies have blades for reliably rotating and guiding the bill in a predetermined direction.

Further, according to another embodiment, the front and back reversing means comprises a reversing path and a through path which does not pass through the reversing path, and allows the bill in the first direction to pass through the through path. Thus, the paper money is discharged to the sorted banknote stacker in a predetermined direction without being turned upside down, and the banknotes in the fourth direction are passed through the inversion path to turn the paper sheet over in the predetermined direction. It is discharged to the sorted banknote stacker.

Contrary to the above, the banknotes in the second direction and the third direction are automatically arranged by the front and back reversing means, and the bills in the first and fourth directions are arranged.
The banknotes in the direction of may be accumulated in the stacker for collecting unsorted banknotes. In this case, the banknotes originally in the first direction and the fourth direction are respectively transferred to the second direction.
Direction and the third direction are reset on the hopper means, so that, like the banknotes in the second direction and the third direction, they are automatically rearranged by the front-back inverting means. Therefore, in this case, the front and back reversing means is composed of a pair of rotating guides that rotate in mutually opposite directions, and one of the rotating guides rotates the banknotes in the second direction clockwise and counterclockwise. While rotating and guiding in one of the directions, the banknotes are discharged in a predetermined direction to the sorted banknote stacker, and the other rotator rotates the banknotes in the third direction in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions. The paper can be discharged to the sorted banknote stacker in the predetermined direction while being rotated and guided.

Further, the front and back reversing means comprises a reversing path and a through path that does not pass through the reversing path. By passing the bill in the second direction through the through path, the front and back is not reversed, The bills in the third direction are discharged to the sorted bill stacker in a predetermined direction,

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the overall configuration of a bill orientation device according to the present invention. Further, FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an operational relationship between the control unit 10 that controls the overall operation of the bill sorting device and the main elements of the device.
The key input unit 11 shown only in FIG. 2 is an operator for performing an operation of designating a denomination of banknotes to be sorted by the bill sorting device, and an operator for selectively designating other desired functions. Etc. are provided.

In the apparatus shown in FIG. 1, similarly to the conventional example shown in FIG. 4, banknotes B of the same denomination are set in the hopper 12 in a stacked state with the front and back directions and the vertical directions being uneven. To be done. The banknotes B thus set in the hopper 12 and supplied from the hopper 12 are supplied in the direction parallel to the short side (that is, indicated by reference numeral TB in FIG. 1) of the rectangular block B1. ~ B4
As shown by, there is a possibility of being supplied in up to four different directions in the front-back direction and the vertical direction. That is, as described above with reference to FIG. 4, here, the rectangular block B1 having the symbols “◯” and “↑” is supplied in the front direction and in the up-down positive direction (hereinafter, referred to as the first direction for convenience). A rectangular block B2 having a symbol "○" and a symbol "↓" indicates a bill B1 that is supplied face up but upside down (hereinafter, referred to as a second direction), and a symbol "B". A rectangular block B3 having “×” and “↑” indicates a banknote B3 supplied in the upside down and forward direction (hereinafter, referred to as a third direction) with the symbol “x”.
A rectangular block B4 having “and ↓” represents a banknote B4 that is supplied face down and upside down (hereinafter referred to as a fourth direction).

The hopper 12 supplies the banknotes B1 to B4 set in a stacked state to the determination unit 13 while separating them one by one. The determination unit 13 determines which of the four types of directions (first direction to fourth direction) the direction of each supplied bill B is. According to this embodiment, under the control of the control unit 10 according to the determination result of the determination unit 13, the initial distribution unit 14 sets the individual banknotes B1 to B1.
4 is distributed to either the front / back distribution unit 15 or the stacker 16 for collecting unsorted banknotes. That is, the initial distribution unit 14 distributes the banknote B1 in the first direction and the banknote B4 in the fourth direction in the direction of the front / back distribution unit 15, while the banknote B2 in the second direction and the banknote B2 in the second direction. The bill B3 in the third direction is sorted in the direction of the unsorted bill collecting stacker 16.

For example, a sensor S for detecting the passage of the bill B is provided between the initial distribution unit 14 and the front / back distribution unit 15. The control unit 10 counts the number of bills B1 and B4 based on the output of the sensor S, and sequentially displays the coefficient values on the display unit 18 such as an LED. In the front / back distribution unit 15, the front-side banknote B1 of the banknotes B1 and B4 is distributed to the first bladed rotary body 19,
The banknote B4 facing down is distributed to the second bladed rotary body 20. The bladed rotors 19 and 20 rotate in mutually opposite directions. In the case of this embodiment, the first bladed rotor 19 rotates counterclockwise and the second bladed rotor rotates. The body 20 is adapted to rotate clockwise. In this way, the rotating bodies 19, 20 rotating in opposite directions
By the guide function of the guide blades 19a, 20a of the above, both the front-side bill B1 and the back-side bill B4 are
The face including the person's image is directed upward, and the head portion of the person's image is discharged and accumulated in the sorted banknote stacker 22 in a state where the head portion is on the predetermined side. In this way, the banknotes B having the front-back direction and the vertical direction aligned are accumulated in the sorted banknote stacker 22.

When a predetermined number of the banknotes B are accumulated in the sorted banknote stacker 22, the predetermined number of the banknotes B are collected.
Is transported to, for example, a banding processing unit of a banknote banding device (not shown), or taken out as needed.
On the other hand, the banknotes B2 in the second direction and the banknotes B3 in the third direction, which are distributed by the initial distribution unit 14 toward the stacker 16 for collecting unsorted banknotes, are the bladed rotary body 2
4 are sequentially accumulated in the stacker 16 for collecting unsorted banknotes. In addition, if necessary, an unsorted banknote sorting unit 26 is provided in front of the rotating body 24, and the banknote B
Either one of B2 and B3 may be distributed to another stacker.

When an appropriate number of banknotes B2, B3 are accumulated in the unsorted banknote collecting stacker 16 in this manner, the operator takes out the banknotes B2, B3 from the unsorted banknote collecting stacker 16 and then the banknote B2. , B3 are put together, and an operation of reversing the front and back by 180 degrees about the short axis TB (only the bill B2 is shown in FIG. 1) is performed. As will be understood from FIG. 1, when the front and back are thus reversed, the bill B2 has the same orientation as the bill B4, and the bill B3 has the same orientation as the bill B1. Therefore, by simply setting the banknotes that are turned upside down as described above in the hopper 12 as they are, all of these banknotes undergo the same processing as the above-mentioned banknotes B1 and B4, so that the surface with the human image is present. Can be stacked in the sorted banknote stacker 22 in a state in which the person is facing upward and the head portion of the person image is on the predetermined side.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the control operation performed by the control unit 10. First, in step S1, the control unit 10 checks whether the direction of the banknote B determined by the determination unit 13 is the first direction or the fourth direction. In the case of the first direction or the fourth direction, the initial distribution unit 14 is instructed to distribute the bills B1 or B4 to the front / back distribution unit 15 (step S2). Further, when it is not the first direction or the fourth direction, it is the second direction or the third direction, and therefore the bill B2 or B
It is instructed to sort 3 into the stacker 16 for collecting unsorted banknotes (step S3).

Further, when the processing of step S2 is completed,
In step S4, it is checked whether the bill B is in the first direction. In the case of the first direction, the bill B1 is transferred to the front / back distribution unit 15 by the first rotary body 19 with blades.
To instruct the distribution (step S5). If it is not the first direction, it is the fourth direction, and therefore the front / back distribution unit 15 is instructed to distribute the bills B4 to the second bladed rotary body 20 (step S6).

In the above embodiment, the bills B1 and B4 in the first direction and the fourth direction are automatically rearranged through the front / back sorting unit 15. However, according to a modification of the present invention. And conversely to the above, the second direction and the third
The banknotes B2 and B3 in the direction B are automatically rearranged through the front / back sorting unit 15, and the banknotes B1 and B4 in the first direction and the fourth direction are collected by the unarranged banknote collecting stacker 16 and manually. In addition, the front and back may be inverted around the minor axis.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention. According to this other embodiment, instead of the first rotary body with blades 19 and the second rotary body with blades 20 shown in FIG. 1, the banknote B is folded and transferred along a substantially lateral V-shaped trajectory. By doing so, a reversing path 28 for reversing the front and back and a through path 30 that does not pass through the reversing path 28 for transferring the bill B as it is without reversing the front and back are provided. In this case, for example, the bill B1 in the first direction is not turned upside down as shown by a broken line B1 by passing through the through path 30, and the face including the person image is upward and the person image The banknote stacker 22 for rearranging banknotes is arranged in a predetermined direction with the head part thereof on the predetermined side.
It is discharged inside and accumulated. Further, the bill B4 in the fourth direction is passed through the reversal path 28 via the bladed rotary body 32, so that the exit portion of the reversal path 28 is indicated by the broken line as indicated by the broken line B4. First
The bills B1 are oriented in the same direction as the bills B1 in this direction, and are thus discharged and accumulated in the sorted bill stacker 22 in the predetermined direction. As a modified example of this embodiment, a bill B2 in the second direction is passed through the through path 30 instead of the bill B1 in the first direction, and a bill B3 in the third direction is passed instead of the bill B4 in the fourth direction. You may make it the banknote B3 pass the inversion path 28. Of course, in this case, the banknotes B1 and B4 in the first direction and the fourth direction are collected by the unsorted banknote collecting stacker 16 and are manually turned upside down around the short axis. further,
The present invention is most useful when applied to a bill banding device, but is not limited to this, and may be applied to other uses where it is necessary to align the front and back directions and the vertical direction of a large number of bills.

[0026]

As described above, according to the present invention, the first direction that is face-up and the positive direction in the vertical direction, the second direction that is face-up and the reverse direction in the vertical direction, the third direction that is face-down in the vertical positive direction, and The banknotes supplied from the hopper means in a fourth direction, which is face down and upside down, are classified into banknote groups of the first direction and the fourth direction and banknotes of the second direction and the third direction. The bills of one of the groups are automatically aligned in the front and back direction and the vertical direction by the front and back reversing means, and the bills of the other group are flipped by 180 ° with respect to the short axis of the bills. After that, by resetting in the hopper means, like the banknotes in the one group, it is possible to automatically align the front and back direction and the vertical direction through the front and back reversing means. It is intended. In this way, the present invention can align the front-back direction and the vertical direction of a large number of banknotes with a simple configuration using only the front-back direction rearranging mechanism without requiring a specific vertical direction rearranging mechanism. It has an excellent effect that it can.
