Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a method for classifying and counting a plurality of types of paper sheets, such as banknotes, having different sizes and patterns, and then stacking them in a polymerized state according to type. It relates to a classification and counting device.

Banks, department stores, gambling halls, etc. collect a large amount of currency, and it takes a lot of manpower to sort it out.

Conventionally, there have been sorting machines, counting machines, wrapping machines, etc. for coins, and counting machines, wrapping machines (sealing machines), etc. for banknotes (banknotes), but each is a single-function machine, and recently The problem is that sorting and counting a huge amount of banknotes is very time-consuming and leaves a lot of room for error.

The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to set a plurality of types of paper sheets (banknotes) of different sizes, patterns, etc. in a paper sheet intake port, and to collect the paper sheets. The paper leaves in the mouth are taken in one by one, the detection section performs the necessary detection, and then they are sorted and counted for each type.Then, the classified and counted paper leaves are stacked one by one in each accumulation chamber of the accumulation section. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sorting and counting device for paper sheets so as to accumulate them in a state.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a banknote sorting and counting machine as a paper sheet sorting and counting device. On the right side of the machine body 1, there is a banknote storage box 2 as a paper sheet intake port and a take-out rotor 3 as a take-out device. It is provided.

Approximately 100 banknotes P can be loaded into the banknote storage box 2.

Then, the banknotes P put into the banknote storage box 2 in a mixed state irrespective of front and back, top and bottom (top and bottom), and type of banknotes are sequentially picked up by the take-out rotor 3 starting from the banknote P at the forefront. After being sucked one by one and taken into the machine body 1, the sheets are held and conveyed through a conveyance path 4 made of a belt or the like, and pass through a detection section 5.

During this time, the detection unit 5 determines the type and authenticity of the bank note P, and classifies it into genuine notes and other excluded notes.

Note that a genuine note is a regular bank note, and the type of note has already been determined at this point.

In addition, excluded tickets include counterfeit tickets, unidentifiable tickets (tickets that are badly soiled or torn), and foreign tickets (tickets that are not eligible for handling, such as 100 yen tickets).
, non-countable tickets such as stacked tickets.

The bank notes P determined to be rejected are stacked in the rejected note stacking unit 7 by the gate 6, and the genuine banknotes are further conveyed to the stacking unit 8, and based on the determination results, the banknotes P with the larger face value are sorted in the order of being closer to the intake port. The 10,000 yen note P is transferred to the first collection room 1 through gate 9.
0, the 5,000 yen note P is transferred to the second collection room 12 through the gate 11.
Next, the 1,000 yen notes P are distributed to the third accumulation chamber 14 by the gate 13, and finally the 500 yen notes P reach the fourth accumulation chamber 15 and are accumulated therein.

For genuine bills (other than rejected tickets), each type is counted near the entrance of each collection room 10, 12, 14, and 15, excluding the detection results and rejected tickets, and the total number is calculated after classifying rejected tickets. The counters are counted between 10, 12, 14, and 15 before they are divided into each collection room, and if necessary, these counters are compared to detect any counting errors. Data that is free from errors is stored in a journal, which will be described later. 16
It is now being launched.

In addition, a second
As shown in the figure, the accumulation chambers are 10°, 12, 14, 15, respectively.
are divided into upper and lower parts to form main accumulation chambers 10a, 12a, 14'a,
Temporary accumulation rooms 10b, 12b, 14b, 15 for temporarily accumulating banknotes P for each lot above 15a.
Lot partitions 17 forming b are provided respectively.

These lot partitions 7... are formed into a comb shape as shown in FIG.
It extends horizontally into the accumulation chambers 10, 12, 14, and 15 through a slit provided in a side plate 18 forming one side wall, and rotates downward when the rotary solenoid 19 is turned on to form two points. As shown by the chain lines, the accumulation chambers 10, 12,
14 and 15 are configured to go outside.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, each accumulation chamber 10, 12°, 14.
The front outlet of 15 is connected to the lot partition 17 mentioned above.
It is closed by four lower accumulation section covers 20 . . . and one upper accumulation section cover 21 .

These upper and lower accumulation section covers 20... Reference numeral 21 is made of a material such as acrylic that allows the inside of each accumulation chamber 10, 12, 14, 15 to be seen through, and can be opened in the direction of the arrow.

Further, each of the stacking section covers 20, 21 can be locked and opened by an operator's key operation.

□ Also, FIG. 5 shows the operation panel 22 of the banknote sorting and counting machine, which includes a journal printer 23, various switch groups 24, and display lamp groups 25.
... is installed.

Printing on the journal 16 is started by pressing the collation switch 24 on the panel 22.

If one group of banknotes P to be counted is called 10, the number of banknotes P processed by the machine after pressing the verification switch 24 and before pressing the verification switch 24 next is
... will correspond to that.

In the journal 16, the number of ticket types, amount, and total amount for each lot, as well as the cumulative number of ticket types, amount, and total amount processed by the machine up to that point, are printed out at once. There is.

Then, when the collation switch 24 is pressed down, the journal printer 23 starts printing, and the rotary solenoid 19 of the stacking section 8 is turned on, causing the lot partitions 17 to rotate downward. Then, the banknotes P accumulated on the lot partitions 17 are dropped into the main accumulation chambers 10a, 12a, 14a, 15a below.

In other words, only after 10 banknotes P have been transported and sorted and it is guaranteed that there are no errors in counting, can the banknotes be transferred to the main stacking room 10.
a, 12a, 14a.

The banknotes P, which are to be accumulated under the lot 15a and which have not been completed in the processing up to that point, are in the temporary accumulation rooms 10b, 12b, 14b, and 15b.

If a jam occurs in the middle of the conveyance path 4 or an abnormality in counting due to counter matching occurs, the lot divider 17...
. . . The above bank note P . . . will have to be processed again from the beginning.

These numerical processes are automatically performed within the machine.

In addition, the processing of several lots has progressed, and the main accumulation room 10.12
, 14, 15, when a predetermined number or more, for example, 1000 banknotes P... are accumulated, the operator panel 22
When the accumulation full lamp 25 lights up, it is also possible to tell which of the first to fourth accumulation chambers 10, 12, 14, 15 is full by a lamp (
(not shown) and at the same time sounds a chime or the like to prompt the operator to proceed with the process.

As explained above, in the present invention, a plurality of types of paper sheets having different sizes and patterns are set in the paper sheet intake port, and the paper sheets of this paper sheet intake 1 are taken in one by one. After performing the necessary detection, the paper sheets are classified and counted for each type, and then the classified and counted paper sheets are stacked in a stacked state in each stacking chamber of the stacking section, making it easy to organize banknotes, for example. And it can be done reliably.

In addition, the paper sheets are temporarily received in each accumulation room where the classified and counted paper sheets are accumulated by type, and separated from the paper leaves of the previous lot. Since the lot partitions are provided for accumulation, it is possible to easily and reliably perform the re-processing in the event that a jam occurs during transportation or an abnormality in counting due to counter matching occurs.

In addition, the outlet of the temporary accumulation chamber, which is separated from the main accumulation chamber by the lot partition, is closed with a cover that is independent of the cover that blocks the outlet of the main accumulation chamber, and the outlet of each temporary accumulation chamber is opened at the same time. This makes it possible to carry out reprocessing operations after a trouble occurs with great ease.
