Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The method of the present invention relates to a paper sheet classification method for classifying a plurality of types of paper sheets by authenticity, type, and into normal and unfit sheets depending on the state of damage.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various devices for separating paper sheets, such as banknotes, have been put into practical use. Most of these devices are
Each type of banknote is set in a part of the hopper, the set banknotes are separated one by one, taken into the conveyance path, classified and classified by a discrimination mechanism, and then sorted and accumulated in each collection box and +7-piece box. . However, there are currently four denominations of banknotes in circulation: 500 yen notes, 1,000 yen notes, tamago uchizen notes, and 10,000 yen notes, and if you accumulate good and unfit notes for each denomination in their respective collection boxes, there will be many collection boxes. is required, which increases the size of the device.

An object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet sorting method that uses a small paper sheet separation device with fewer stacking boxes and is capable of sorting one sheet by authenticity, type, and fit/damage. be.

The paper sheet classification method according to the present invention includes a separation mechanism that sets multiple types of paper sheets and separates them one by one, a conveyance mechanism that transports the separated paper sheets, and a paper sheet classification method that determines the authenticity and type of paper sheets. A type discrimination mechanism for distinguishing paper sheets 1 A fitness discrimination mechanism for distinguishing the damage state of paper sheets, a plurality of stacking boxes for sorting and stacking paper sheets, and a paper sheet sorting device that collects and jets rejected tickets. This is a paper leaf classification method that classifies leaves by authenticity, type, and fit/damage.

Therefore, in the paper sheet sorting method according to the present invention, as many collection boxes as the number of types of paper sheets are provided, each of which is large enough to collect each type of paper sheet, and each collection box is divided into two types of paper sheets of similar size. The leaves are made into a size that can be stacked, and first, the whole body/damage discrimination mechanism is stopped, and then all the leaves are classified into true/false and by type using only the type discrimination mechanism - sorted and accumulated in the accumulation boxes and reject boxes for each type of leaves. Then, classified i'l-7'
Using two stacking boxes capable of stacking paper sheets of each type, the paper sheets are separated into good and unfit bills by a fitness discrimination mechanism, and then placed in the two stacking boxes. This method is characterized by classification and accumulation.

Hereinafter, the method of the present invention will be explained based on FIG. 1, which is a drawing of an example of an apparatus for carrying out the method of the present invention.

When sorting and counting banknotes, a plurality of types of banknotes 1 are set in a hopper 2, separated one by one by a separating roller 3, and conveyed by a conveyor belt 4. The conveyor belt 4 allows the banknotes 1 to pass through a type discrimination box 5 and a fitness/damage discrimination box 9, and is conveyed to either a collection box 6a, 6b, 6C, 6d or a reject box 8 depending on the type.

The apparatus for carrying out the method of the invention is provided with a collection box equal to the number of denominations to be sorted. Currently, there are four types of banknotes in circulation: 5 giant yen, 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 10,000 yen, so four collection boxes 6a, 6b, and 6C are provided, and 6 thousand yen collection boxes are provided.
a, 7I of Gomin yen is 6b, 10,000 I'J is 6C1, and 66 is 5,000 yen. Furthermore, each stacking box is sized to be able to stack two types of banknotes of similar size. That is,
The stacking boxes 6a and 6b are sized to be able to stack thousand yen bills, and the stacking boxes 6C and 6d are large enough to stack ten thousand yen bills.

In classifying banknotes, first, the function of the fitness discrimination box 9 is stopped, and the authenticity and denomination of the transported banknotes 1 are discriminated by the type discrimination box 5. The banknotes 1 to be discriminated and transported are placed in a corresponding collection box 6a, 6b, 6C or 6d depending on the denomination.
By operating the gate 7a, 7b, 7C, or 7d provided in the column, the waste is accumulated in the corresponding accumulation box. Rejected bills that cannot be accepted at each gate, such as counterfeit bills or bills with an abnormal conveyance path, are accumulated in the jet 8. -Example: 1,000 yen note - 1,000 yen note.

When the banknotes are separated and conveyed in the order of 1,000 yen notes, the gate 7a operates to accumulate the 1,000 yen notes in the collection box 6aK. The next 1,000 yen note is accumulated continuously by holding the motion form 7a, and when the next 1,000 yen note is conveyed to the front of 7a, return 7a to the gate 7C. The materials are transported to the front, and the gate 7C is operated to accumulate them in the collection box 6C.

Next, all of the classified banknotes of one denomination are set in ho/so/<2 and separated and conveyed in the same manner as in the case of banknote classification and counting.

In this case, the fitness appraisal box 9 is also activated so that the gates of the two stacking boxes are activated depending on the denomination, whether it is a good note or an unfit note. That is, for 1,000 yen notes and 1,000 yen notes, the correct notes are stored in the collection box 6a, the unfit notes are placed in the collection box 61J, and the correct notes are collected in the collection box 61J for the 1000 and 1000 yen notes. Then, unfit notes or unfit notes will be collected *t6dv, respectively.

The banknotes conveyed by the conveyor belt 4 are inspected by a type discrimination box 5 for abnormalities in the conveyance path, and are discriminated into good and unfit bills by a fitness discrimination box 9. The banknotes that have been classified as good, unfit, and rejected are stacked in the aforementioned two stacking boxes and the reject box 8, respectively.

Figure 2 shows details of the collection box. Banknotes are the types of banknotes that are transported by the transport belt 4 and are to be stacked.

When it comes to the front of the gate 7, the gate solenoid 12 operates to open the gate 7 and take in the banknote f: toward the collection box 6.
Banknotes are accumulated in the accumulation box 6 1.C. Collection box 6 (ri
, 1 plate 14, 1 plate 15, bottom plate 16, guide shaft 17, tension spring 18, etc. The bottom plate 16 slides while being guided by a guide shaft 117 via a guide roller 19 and a guide bearing 20, and a tension spring 18 presses the stacked banknotes upward. In the case of a collection box that collects five-round rolls and thousand-yen notes, the width of the collection box is the width l of the wide thousand-yen note and a gap a. Similarly, in the case of a collection box that collects 5000 yen notes and 10000 yen notes, it is 11], which can collect 100000 yen notes.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where the paper sheet is a banknote has been described, but it goes without saying that the same method can be applied to other paper sheets as well.

The method of the present invention is configured as described above.

The number of collection boxes in the device used can be reduced, the device can be downsized, and the conveyance path does not become complicated, reducing problems such as jams.
