Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention classifies paper sheets such as banknotes into various types of necks.

This invention relates to a paper sheet sorting and counting device that counts and accumulates paper sheets.

In recent years, sorting machines and counting machines have been developed to sort large amounts of paper sheets such as securities and banknotes.

Labor saving in counting is progressing, but many vehicles have a capacity of 8M,
Nowadays, it takes a lot of effort to sort a huge amount of banknotes into one category, and it is not possible to sort them quickly and accurately.

Therefore, recently, many types of banknotes are set in one part of the hopper at the same time, the set banknotes are separated and taken in one by one, and the taken banknotes are checked for authenticity, good/damage, etc. in the identification department. A banknote sorting device has been developed that sorts banknotes into good banknotes, damaged banknotes, and rejected banknotes, and collects and stacks the classified banknotes in their respective stacking sections.

However, this button requires a total of nine collection boxes, including a collection box for collecting good and unfit notes for each of the four types of bank notes currently issued, and a collection box for collecting rejected notes. A gate is required to divert the banknotes to the collection box.

In addition, bill sorting and counting devices capable of sorting and accumulating the following have also been developed. That is, when sorting by denomination, each banknote is separated one by one from a part of the hopper as described above, and the discrimination section performs authentication and discrimination between the front and back. The banknotes are inverted and stacked face up, and the banknotes classified into each denomination are checked for fitness.
A one-denomination banknote is determined by a discrimination unit to be a normal note or an unfit banknote, and a two-denomination stacking box is used to classify and stack the banknote into a normal banknote or an unfit banknote. However, this method requires a mechanism to reverse the bill after determining whether the bill is front or back if it is a reverse bill, and there are many problems with paper jams. In addition, in order to classify banknotes of the same denomination, that is, the same size, into good and unfit bills and stack them in a collection box, two collection boxes are shared according to the size of the two denominations. The integration performance is poor.

Problems such as jams are likely to occur.

In this way, in order to distinguish the authenticity, integrity, etc. of many types of paper sheets, and then classify and accumulate them based on this, it is necessary to have many collection boxes and many gates that separate the paper sheets into each one. , the conveyance path becomes long and complicated, and problems such as jams are more likely to occur.

There is also a method of dividing the sorting into two stages to reduce the number of stacked boxes.It is also necessary to share the size of the two types of paper sheets [i]. Furthermore, in order to align the front and back of the paper sheets and stack them together, a mechanism for reversing the paper sheets is required.
Problems such as jamming become more likely to occur.

The purpose of the present invention is to simplify the conveyance path, solve problems such as jams, classify paper sheets into one type of genuine/false, one type of good/defective, and one table of paper sheets.
To provide a paper sheet sorting and counting device capable of aligning and accumulating vines and counting and accumulating them.

The paper sheet sorting and counting device according to the present invention includes a separating section that separates and takes in one sheet from a set of multiple types of paper sheets, a conveyance path that receives and conveys the paper sheets from the separating section, and a paper sheet sorting and counting device. and a collection box that separates paper sheets determined to be counterfeit bills and paper sheets that cannot be determined from the conveyance path and stores them.

In a paper sheet sorting and counting device that has a plurality of stacking boxes in which paper sheets determined to be of each type are stored separately from the conveyance path, one of the paper sheets is sorted by front/back identification, fitness/damage identification, counting, etc. A paper sheet sorting and counting device characterized by having a means for separating paper sheets from a conveyance path and a multi-purpose collection box separate from the above-mentioned collection box for storing separated paper sheets. .

In short, the paper sheet sorting and counting device according to the present invention has a number of collection boxes and collection boxes corresponding to the number of types of paper sheets to be sorted, and paper sheets and counterfeits sorted into these collection boxes and collection boxes. In addition to the conventional paper sheet sorting device that has the function of separating and stacking banknotes and unidentifiable banknotes.

Another multi-purpose collection box is provided, and has functions such as front/back discrimination, fitness/damage discrimination, counting, etc., and the separated one side is stored separately in the multi-purpose collection box.

Hereinafter, an apparatus according to the present invention will be explained based on drawings of embodiments. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention.

A hopper 2 and a separating row 93 as a bill separating section are provided in the upper right corner 11 of the machine body 1. Hopper 2
The banknotes 4, which have been input in a mixed state regardless of front or back, top or bottom, or types, are fed out one by one from the front by a separating row 93, and are then held by a conveyance path 5 constructed of a belt or the like. It is transported and passes through the first discrimination section 6.
The discrimination section 6 determines the type 1 front and back of the banknotes, authenticity, etc., and classifies the banknotes into banknotes that can be classified and counted and banknotes to be rejected. The classified banknotes are conveyed along the conveyance path 7 and reach a branch point 8. Bills determined to be rejected by the discrimination section 6 are guided to a conveyance path 11 by driving a solenoid 9 and operating a gate 10, and are accumulated in a collection box 12. When the gate 10 is restored, the banknotes determined to be other than rejected bills are led to the conveyance path 16 and conveyed in a pinched manner, and reach the branch point 14. The banknotes +fi determined to be genuine by the discrimination section 6 are guided to the conveyance path 17 by driving the solenoid 15 and operating the gate 16, and are accumulated in the multipurpose accumulation box 18.

When the gate 16 is restored, the remaining banknotes whose denominations have been determined are led to the conveyance path 24, where they are conveyed in a pinched manner, and are passed through solenoids 19-1 and 19-2 according to their respective denominations.
．． By driving gate 19-5, gates 20-1 and 20-2
, 20-3 operate, and the respective collection boxes 21-1.
21-2.2'1-3.21-4.

Next, take out the banknotes stacked in the stacking box 18, turn them in the direction in which they are determined to be front banknotes, set them in the separation section hopper 2 again together with the rejected banknotes in the collection box 12, and separate them in the same manner as above. Perform import 1 classification. The banknotes that were determined to be reverse notes in the first operation and the paper @ that was determined to be rejected due to transport path factors are normally divided and stacked in the second operation. In banks, etc.

It is said that the ratio of back notes to front notes is usually small, so the number of banknotes that are determined to be back notes in the first operation is small, and the burden of the second operation is small.

When classifying bills into good and unfit bills, one type of banknote among the banknotes of each denomination that are stacked face up in the collection box,
For example, a 10,000 yen bill is taken out from the collection box 21-2, set in the separation section hopper 2 in the same manner as described above, and separated and taken in.

The banknotes rJ taken into the conveyance path 7 are classified by the second discrimination section 22 into good and unfit bills, and are conveyed to the first branching point 14. This time, the operation is made for banknotes determined to be unfit by either the gate 16 or the discrimination unit 22, and the banknotes determined to be unfit are accumulated in the collection box 18 by the operation of the gate 16. . The banknotes determined to be genuine are guided through the gate 16, guided to the conveyance path 24, conveyed in a pinched manner, and accumulated in the 10,000 yen note accumulation box 21-2.

When using as a counter, 1: A large number of bills of one type are set in the hopper 2, and the designated number of bills to be counted is input into the device. 25 is a counting sensor provided on the conveyance path 5. In this case, when the gate 16 and 1° are operated, the gate 16 operates at the same time as the counting starts and guides the banknotes to the collection box 18, and when the specified number of banknotes are counted, the gate IQy5 is activated and the excess banknotes≠; It is designed to be guided to the collection box 12. Therefore, when the 1 actuation switch 4- is turned on, the banknotes in the hopper 2 are taken in one by one, counted by the sensor 25, and the designated number of banknotes is accumulated in the stacking box 18. It is accumulated in 12.

In the above embodiment, the multi-purpose collection box 18 is used in one way.
Accumulation of back notes when separating banknotes, accumulation of unfit notes when sorting out good and bad notes,
Accumulation of specified counting banknotes during counting processing.

During the counting process, the collection box is used to collect banknotes that are not designated for counting, or when sorting out the fit and loss, the correct banknotes are accumulated in the collection box 18 and the unfit notes are accumulated in the collection box 12, respectively.
Counting process I? It is also possible to use a method in which front and back checks are simultaneously performed and one front ticket is stacked in the collection box 18 and one back ticket is stacked in the collection box 12, respectively.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, one example of banknotes was shown≠;
The same applies to various paper sheets such as other securities.

As described above, in the device of the present invention, in addition to the collection boxes and collection boxes for each type of paper sheet, only one multipurpose collection box is provided, and the paper sheets are separated into fit and damaged sheets by type. Unlike in the case of stacking, there is no need to provide a large number of stacking boxes, and there is no need to share a paper sheet reversing mechanism and a sorting stacking box.
The gate and other structures can be simplified, and troubles such as jams during operation of the device can be solved. Moreover, by using a multi-purpose collection box, you can perform various types of processing such as sorting paper sheets, processing whether they are fit or damaged, processing both front and back sides, and counting.
Although it requires repeated operations, it can be carried out easily, smoothly, and efficiently without increasing the workload.
