Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a banknote handling device that discriminates, classifies and stores banknotes, and particularly improves the acceptance rate when only counting banknotes. Regarding banknote handling equipment that can be used.

(E)) Technology Background Recently, as part of computer banking systems, at the counters of financial institutions, etc., the window UIW (Tell
er Machine) has been developed and put into practical use. The banknote deposit machine has the function of distinguishing banknotes and storing them by number and denomination.Therefore, in addition to being used when receiving bills from customers, they are also used to count banknotes already held by the financial institution. is also used, so in this case it is desirable to have a high win-1 rate.

Prior Art and Problems The conventional method will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, taking a banknote deposit machine as an example. FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a banknote deposit machine to which the present invention is applied, and 21ZJ is a side sectional view of FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the deposit machine has an input slot 2, into which banknotes 1 are inserted, at the top of the front face of the machine. Display 3
and an operation button 4 are arranged, and a sorter pool handle 5a and an unfit bill slot 6a are provided below. A reject section 7 is provided on the upper surface.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a feeding section 8 and a discriminating section 9 are arranged on the right side of the input port 2 in the rear view. The dispensing section 8 has a function of dispensing the inserted banknotes 1 one by one using a pink roller R1 and a feed roller R2 and sending them to the discriminating section 9, and the discriminating section 9 discriminates the authenticity, denomination, and front and back of the bills 1. It has the function to In the center of the device, banknotes 1 are sorted by denomination: 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, 1
A sorter/pool section 5 is located in which ooo yen and 500 yen bills are stacked with their fronts and backs aligned, and an unfit bill box 6 and storage boxes 10 for each denomination are arranged below. A control section 12 is provided at the upper rear part of the device. The sorter pool section 5 has a unit indicated by a two-dot chain line in the figure, and a handle 5.
It can be pulled out by a. Also storage box 10
The part indicated by the two-dot chain line in the figure is a unit, and has the function of a safe. The unfit bill box 6 is used to insert banknotes 1 that have been repeatedly rejected.

Further, feed rollers R3 to R16 and gates Gl to G8 are arranged on the conveyance path of the banknote 1.

A gate G1 is provided on the right side of the feed rollers R1 and R2 in the rear view in FIG. It is switched downward by the command. In addition, gates 62 to G8 on the left side in the rear view of each of the feed rollers R9 to R15 of the sorter/pool section 5 are located in the lower part of the critical state C, and the gates 62 to G8 on the left side in the rear view of each of the feed rollers R9 to R15 of the sorter/pool section 5 are located in the lower part. and is switched upward by a command from the control unit 12.

With such a configuration and function, when depositing and storing banknotes 1, when the banknotes 1 are inserted into the slot 2, they are detected by a sensor (not shown), and the pink roller R1 and feed roller R2 are driven to feed out the banknotes. A banknote 1 is fed out from a section 8, and a discriminating section 9 discriminates the authenticity, denomination, and front and back sides. In the case of genuine banknotes 1, they are sent to the sorter pool section 5 through route A, and then sent to gates 62 to 62 depending on the denomination and front and back sides.
G8 is switched and the coins are pooled by feed rollers R9 to R16 with their fronts and backs aligned by denomination. Then, they are counted and the number and amount of each denomination and the total amount are displayed on the display 3. - When the transaction pool is finished, the sorter pool section 5
The bottom part of the banknotes 10 is opened downward in both directions, and the banknotes 10 are stored in the storage box 10. If the banknote is a fake banknote 1, the banknote G1 is switched and the banknote is discharged to the reject section 7 through the route B by the feed rollers R5 to R7.

In addition to the above-mentioned iI floating deposit processing, such a banknote deposit machine may be used to count the banknotes 1 already held by a financial institution, that is, it may be used as a bill counter. In this case, when the banknote 1 is inserted after pressing the counting button of the operation button 4, the banknote 1 is fed out and is discriminated in the same manner as above by the discrimination section 9, but the genuine bill 1 is sent to the reject section 7 and the counterfeit banknote 1 is fed out. When it is identified as banknote 1, the device is stopped.

In this case, the discrimination method of the discrimination section 9 is as follows: ■Magnetic printing pattern using a borosilicate head ■Printing pattern using an optical photo ■Oblique feeding ■Length in the longitudinal direction ■Proximity monitoring of conveyance interval (time) ■Double feed (thickness) This is done by detecting (2) the length in the feeding direction and the width of the banknote 1), and if any one of (2) to (2) is detected as 'allergy', the banknote 1 is determined to be a fake banknote.

In this case, ■ to ■ are the authenticity and front/back discrimination functions, and ■ and ■ are the denomination discrimination functions.

U7 However, the banknote 1 that the financial institution already owns has already been verified, and even if the banknote 1 is identified as a counterfeit banknote by the verification unit 9, it would be because the banknote 1 was broken due to its tendency to bend. Therefore, it is originally a genuine banknote 1, and if the device stops for this reason, the banknote 1 must be re-inserted, that is, the banknote 1 must be retried. Therefore, the disadvantage is that the work is troublesome and takes extra time.

fd1 Purpose of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and to provide a banknote handling device that can inhibit the authenticity discrimination function when setting the counting mode and improve the acceptance rate. It is in.

te1 Structure of the Invention The present invention includes a setting means for setting a counting mode and a prohibition means for prohibiting the discrimination section from authenticating the authenticity, and when the counting mode is set by the setting means, the prohibition means This banknote handling device is characterized in that the discrimination section prohibits authenticity discrimination and denomination discrimination is performed, and the counter section performs 81 counts of input banknotes based on the denomination discrimination result, thereby achieving the purpose. can do.

ff) Embodiment of the Invention An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the block diagram of FIG. The same reference numeral throughout indicates the same object.

In FIG. 3, Ila is a counting section, 12 is a discrimination control section,
13 is a discrimination and limitation control unit; 14 is a magnet drive; 9
9b is a denomination discrimination section.

The discrimination control unit 12 has a function of controlling the discrimination unit 9 to discriminate the authenticity, front and back, and denomination of the banknote 1, and sends the discrimination result to the control unit. Based on this discrimination result, the old number part 1 of the control unit 11
ia does the counting. The discrimination limited system fff11 section 13 is activated by the discrimination section 9 when the counting mode is set by the operation button 4.
It has a function of prohibiting the authenticity/front/back discrimination section 9a from making a discrimination. The magnet drive 14 applies a drive signal to the corresponding gate magneto I'GM in response to a selection signal from the control section 11, and performs switching control of the gates I-G] to G8.

With such a configuration and function, in the case of energized deposit processing, when a banknote 1 is inserted into the input slot 2 as described above, the discrimination control section 12 is activated by the discrimination section 9 according to a command from the control section 11.
A discrimination command is issued to the control section 11, discrimination is performed, and the results are sent to the control section 11. Then, the control section II issues a command to the magnet drive 15 to switch the gates 1-Gl to G8 according to the discrimination result, and as explained in the conventional example, the banknote 1 is transported and stored or rejected.

In the case of δ1 number processing, when the counting mode is set using the operation button 4, the control section 11 instructs the discrimination limitation control section 12 to prohibit discrimination by the authenticity/front/back discrimination section 9a, and also turns off the gate Gl. Switch. So when you insert banknote 1, banknote 1
is discriminated by the denomination discrimination section 9b, and the counting section 11a in the control section 11 performs counting based on the discrimination result.

In this way, since the counting process is performed using only the denomination discrimination function, it is possible to reduce unnecessary stoppages of the apparatus due to identification of counterfeit banknotes I.

As described in detail of the fg1 invention, according to the present invention, since the discrimination function can be limited to denomination discrimination when performing counting processing, unnecessary stoppage of the device can be reduced, and the reception rate can be increased. This has the effect of reducing the number of retries.
