Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a banknote sorting and counting machine that takes out banknotes that are collectively stacked one by one and stores them in different storage sections for each denomination.

[Conventional technology and problems]

Conventional banknote sorting and counting machines of this type take out banknotes that have been accumulated one by one, sort them by denomination, and then store the classified banknotes by denomination. When a predetermined number of bills are counted in the identification section, even if the dispensing is stopped immediately, some bills have already been taken out by the dispensing section, and these bills are provided separately or are ejected to the extracting section. It was like that. In this case, the banknotes will be mixed with abnormal banknotes, and each time a predetermined number of banknotes are taken, several banknotes will be rejected to the reject section. It became full and the staff had to take it out every now and then, which was a hassle.

[Means for solving problems]

The banknote sorting and counting machine of the present invention includes: a take-out unit that takes out banknotes stacked in bulk one by one; an identification unit that identifies the authenticity, denomination, etc. of the banknotes taken out by the take-out unit; a sorting section that sorts banknotes into denominations according to the denominations identified in the classification section; a storage section that stores banknotes sorted by denomination in this sorting section into denominations; a counting control unit that counts the number of banknotes, compares the counted value with a preset value, and stops the ejecting unit when they match; Conveyance having a standby path for waiting banknotes identified by the identification section after the banknotes whose count value matches the set value, and conveying the banknotes identified by the identification section to the classification section. It is characterized by having a section.

[For production]

After a predetermined number of banknotes have been counted, subsequent banknotes are held in the M machine path and sorted by denomination when the counting process is restarted.

[Embodiments of the invention]

FIG. 1 shows the overall schematic structure of a main body of a banknote sorting and counting machine according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A banknote insertion slot 1 is provided on the upper front side of the counting machine body. There is a mounting table 2 on which banknotes to be counted are placed at the back of the banknote insertion slot 1, and an operator (operator) manually places a banknote bundle thereon. Above the mounting table 2, a feeding O-ra 3 slightly protrudes downward from the top surface of the insertion slot 1.
Pay out the stacked bills one by one from the top.

The banknotes fed out by the feeding roller 3 are sent to the gate G.
Gate rollers 4 and 5 provided at X allow only one sheet to pass through, and the conveyor belt 6 conveys the sheet one by one.

The bills being conveyed one by one are checked by the identification unit 7 to determine whether they are genuine or false.
Identify the denomination, front and back, fit, thickness, chain, skew, tear, etc. As this identification technique itself, any known technique may be used, and since it is not a feature of the present invention, a detailed explanation will be omitted.

The conveyor belt 6 serves as a conveyor section MPM and is connected to a drive motor HPM.

The IA 6 is also rotationally driven in synchronization with the conveyor belt 6.

The banknotes are classified and stored in the first to seventh storage units 81 to S7 according to the identification results in the identification unit 7. The types of banknotes stored in each storage section vary depending on the classification mode, as shown in the table of FIG. 6.

Between conveyance systems e-i, banknotes are sorted by gate plates GB1 to GB5 according to the identification results and sent to each storage section.

The banknotes sent to the conveyance system by -p are transferred downward by the impellers 1-IA1 to HA6 which rotate counterclockwise in the drawing (by sandwiching the banknotes one by one between the blade plates), that is, to the temporary storage section 5) (1 to 1). 5116 support plates P1 a-P6a, Pl

P1b=P6b is normally urged upward by a spring shown in FIG. 2(a) so as to contact the blades of the impellers HA1 to H86, respectively. The banknotes conveyed by the blades hit the guide plate and are pushed downwards from the impeller, that is, by the support plates P1a-P6a, P
The support plate is stacked on top of lb-P6b.
As shown in FIG. 2(b), it gradually descends against the spring force.

That is, the support plates P1a-P6a, P1b-P6b are normally horizontally moved (indicated by solid lines) by the mechanism shown in FIG.
However, when the banknotes calm down, they open to the left and right, allowing the banknotes to fall and be stored on the receiving plates R1 to R6 of the storage section. The fallen banknotes are received and held by the receiving plates R1 to R7. The receiving plates R1 to R6 are driven by the pulse motor TPM and change their positions, but are initially located at the upper side and move downward depending on the amount of bills to be pushed. Receiver plate R1~

The clutch (corresponding one of TC11 to TCL6) is operated until VI to HEV6 no longer detect the top surface of the banknote, and the pulse motor TPM lowers the bill.

The seventh storage section S7 stores banknotes and the like that are identified as abnormal by the identification section 7. When the gate plate GB7 operates, the banknotes pass through the conveyance system q and are stored in the storage section S7. Further, the conveyance system d has a role of making subsequent banknotes wait after counting a predetermined number of banknotes.

Next, various optical sensors will be explained with reference to FIG. 1(b).

The banknote detector KSE detects that the banknotes placed on the mounting table 2 are being moved toward the gate rollers 4.5 by the feed roller 3, and the banknotes are moved downward from the gate GX of the banknote insertion slot 1. Light is emitted, and the -power receiver is provided at the back US side of the insertion slot 1 to receive the light.

The sensors GSE1 to GSE5 of the gate drive detection section are provided to detect the leading edge of the banknote being conveyed and thereby operate the gate plates GBI to GB5, respectively, depending on the type of banknote.

When the sensors H8E1 to HS E6 of the banknote passage detection section detect the rear end of the banknote that has passed, the sensors H8E1 to HS E6 detect the gate plates GB1 to G.

The sensors LSLI to LSL6 are used to detect the lowest position when the receiving plates R1 to R6 are lowered to stop the lowering, and are also used to detect fullness.

Next, various driving sources will be explained with reference to FIG. 1(C).

The feeding section uses a pulse motor KPM to rotate a feeding roller 3 intermittently, thereby feeding out banknotes one by one. Also, during this rotation, the gate roller 4
It also rotates.

The transport unit MPM is a transport drive motor l-! P M 1
.

Belts from transport system a to q (total 6
) is rotated. The impellers HA1 to HA6 are also rotationally driven in synchronization. To accomplish this, it may be driven by the transport drive motor HPM2, or it may be driven by a separate motor.

The gate drive unit consists of rotary solenoids or pulse motors GPM1 to GPM6, and gate plates GBI to GB.

FIG. 3 shows the control system.

The arithmetic processing unit CPU operates according to the program stored in the program memory ROM and controls the entire counting process, and stores various data and flags in the data memory RAM as necessary. data memory RAM
The memory area within will be explained later with reference to FIG.

The operation input section CUNT is used to input various data, operation instructions, etc. when using the counter, and will be explained in detail later with reference to FIG. 4.

The data display section DISP displays various counting data, denomination data, etc.

Identification unit 7, transport unit MPM, and feeding unit KPM.

Gate drive unit GPMI to GPM6, clutch CL1 to C
L6, storage drive unit TPM, banknote detection unit KSE, gate drive sensors GSE1-GSE6, banknote passage sensors H8E1-H8ET, pending banknote sensor 5SE1-S
-3SE7 has already been explained with reference to FIG. 1, and these are connected to the arithmetic processing unit CPU via the pass line BUS.

Next, the operation input section CUNT will be explained in detail with reference to FIG.

KPB is a denomination key and can specify values from $1 to $100.

KHO is a denomination determination off switch that prohibits denomination determination processing in the identification section. Note that instead of doing this, even if denomination determination processing is performed, the CPU may not process it as a denomination signal.

TK is a numeric keypad consisting of keys 0'' to 9''. CLK is a clear key and is used to clear input from the numeric keypad TK.

MDS is a mode switch that is used to select and specify the mode, and allows you to select between classification batches and fitness/loss batches.For fitness/loss batches, it is also possible to select fitness/loss batches of the specified denomination by selecting and specifying the denomination key KPB. The modes are shown in the table of FIG.

SAK is a switch that is operated when converting the counted number of banknotes into a monetary value and displaying it, and is used when one display in the data display section is used for both the number of banknotes and the monetary value.

STP is a stop key, and when this is pressed, the classification process is stopped. It is used when banknotes become jammed in the conveyance system.

OKK is an OK (permission) key, which is used to transfer banknotes from the temporary storage section onto the receiving plate.

SAT is a start key, which is pressed to start the counter manually.

Instead of starting with the start key SAT, the sensor KSE may detect that a banknote is placed on the placing table 2, and the process may be started automatically.

Next, the memory area of the data memory RAM will be explained with reference to FIG.

The buffer memory unit (BM> stores the number of banknotes (MBM) and amount (KBM>) in units of 10 t for each denomination from 1 dollar to 100 dollars and the total of these, separately for fitness and loss, and also stores reject banknotes. The number of rejected banknotes referred to here includes banknotes with abnormal thickness, chains, skew, tears, etc., as well as reverse banknotes.

The main memory section (MM) stores the number of sheets (MMM) and the amount (KM).
The cumulative value of M) is stored separately for each denomination from 1 dollar to 100 dollars and the total value of these, separately for fitness and loss. That is,
When the permission key OKK is pressed after 10 counts are completed, the contents of the buffer memory section are added. When this addition is performed, the buffer memory section is cleared.

The batch count memory unit BT stores count values during batch processing.

The evacuation count memory section RV has already been dispensed by the dispensing section when the count value matches the set value, and the banknote that was identified later than the bill whose count value matched the set value (therefore,
(retained in the evacuation passage).

The denomination specification flag (DFG) indicates that when a denomination is specified using the denomination key KPB, the denomination corresponding to the specified denomination is
1” (others remain as 0).

When a mode is designated by the mode switch MDS, the mode designation flag MFG becomes "1" corresponding to the designated mode.

The BGM is a batch number memory that stores the batch number entered using the numeric keypad TK during batch mode (classification batch, fit/failure batch).

KHF is the denomination determination prohibition flag and the denomination determination off switch K
Press HO to set.

1) -IF is a match flag, and when the number of coins matches in any type (denomination, fit or loss) during batch processing, the flag corresponding to that type becomes "1".

Next, the above counting operation will be explained with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 7 to 11.

FIG. 7 shows input processing from the operation input section, classification counting processing,
and shows a series of operations up to storage. First, to give an overview, 001-003 are mode specification processing, 004-006 are denomination specification processing, 007-009 are batch number specification processing, 010-011
is the start command process, and 012 to 014 is the classification counting process in each mode (No. 8.9).
(shown in the figure), 016 to 018 indicate addition and storage processing in each mode.

Each step will be explained and explained in order below.

Select and input the classification batch and fitness/failure batch using the mode switch MDS on the operation input section. When input (001), for example, if "classification batch" is specified, all mode designation flags MFG in RAM are set to "0" and then (
002) Set the flag of the designated "classification batch" to "1" (003). Note that multiple modes cannot be specified at the same time. When no mode is specified,
That is, if the previously designated mode is to be continued, the process advances to step 007.

Next, if the denomination is specified by the denomination key KPB (004
) As in the case of the mode flag, all the denomination designation flags DFG are set to "0" (005), and then the flag for the designated denomination, for example, 10 dollars, is set to "1". This denomination specification process is valid only when the normal loss mode or the normal loss batch mode is specified. If the denomination is not specified, the process moves to step 007.

To classify a predetermined number of sheets, input the number using the numeric keypad TK when you want to process (batch processing!l). In this case (007), the contents of the batch number memory BCM are first cleared (008), and then the input value is stored (008).
09) It looks like this. If the batch number is not input (007), the process moves to step 010. This batch number is also
The input is valid only when classification batch mode or fitness/loss batch mode is specified.

Next, it is determined whether the start key SAT has been pressed. If not, return to step 001 and repeat steps 001.004,00 until the start key is pressed.
Repeat step 7. The reason for doing this is so that if correction is required for an operation that has already been input, the instruction can be changed by pressing the key to be corrected again without pressing the start key SAT.

When the start key SAT is pressed (010), the mounting table 2
It is determined whether there are banknotes in (012). That is, it is determined whether the detection sensor KSE of the banknote detection section of the mounting table is detecting a banknote. If there are no bills, the machine will not start even if the start key is pressed. If there are banknotes, the feeding section K
P.M.

Activate the transport section MPM. That is, first, it is determined whether the mode designation flag MFG is set to "1" (012), and depending on the designated mode, first mode processing (013) and second mode processing@! Execute (014). Here, the first mode is a classification batch mode,
The second mode is a fitness/loss batch mode. When the first mode or second mode processing is completed, the permission key OKK is pressed (016), and the buffer memory section BM is
The count data of is added to the main memory section MM (017
), the error buffer memory section is reset (017
). The contents of the main memory section are displayed on the data display section.

Thereafter, the banknotes are stored (018). This storage is the first
This is done by performing the steps shown in Figure 0 for all storage units.

Next, referring to FIG. 8, the first step in step 013 of FIG.
Mode processing (classification batch mode) will be explained.

First, transport drive motor HPM1. The HPM2 is driven (101). Thereafter, the pulse motor KPM is driven (102), and the feeding roller 3 feeds out only one banknote at the lowest position from the stacked banknotes placed in the stacking box 2 in the direction of the gate roller 4, and the conveyor belt 6 Transport to. Then, the identification unit 7 identifies the sent banknotes (103). Identification items include authenticity, denomination, front and back, thickness, chain, skew, tear, etc. (there is no damage). Then, when the back, abnormal thickness, chain, skew, or tear is detected (104), the gate plate GB7 is switched by the motor GB7 of the gate drive unit, and the banknote is determined to be abnormal, and the banknote is determined to be abnormal, and It is transported to the pocket 1-) (105).

If normal, batch counting memory unit BT of the identified denomination
(Since we do not distinguish between good and bad bills, we use one of the memory areas, for example, the memory area for "good bills.") Add 1 to the number of bills (
106). The denomination is stored in a storage section of a predetermined denomination (107).

For example, as shown in column A of FIG. 6, banknotes are stored in each storage section separately for each coin, but if it is a 10 dollar bill, the sensor GSE4 of the gate drive detection section detects the 10 dollar bill. When the tip of the gate is detected, the gate drive motor GP
Activate M4, rotate plate GB4 upward and clockwise to game 1, convey a 10 dollar bill toward conveyance system n, and rotate impeller HA.
4, stack them horizontally.

Next, it is determined whether the contents of the batch number setting memory BGM match the number data of the batch counting memory section for the corresponding denomination (for the identified banknote) (109).
. However, no match will be determined for other denominations. If they do not match, check whether there are banknotes on the placing table 2 or not.
1) If there is, (according to the banknote detection unit KSE), the process returns to step 103 and the banknotes are dispensed in the successive number.

When the banknotes run out, the pulse motor KPM is stopped (1
22) Then, after a predetermined period of time, the transport drive motor lP
M1. HPM2 is stopped (123). This predetermined time is set as a time period until the last banknote is reliably classified.

Then, the first mode ends.

If the batch numbers match in step 109, the corresponding denomination match flag IHF is set to "1". Then - display the number. That is, a corresponding match display lamp (not shown) is turned on (110).

Then, the pulse motor KPM is temporarily stopped to stop feeding out the banknotes (111).

Even after the motor KPM is stopped, the already fed banknotes are conveyed and pass through the identification section. Therefore, the identification unit identifies the banknote (112>), and if the banknote is abnormal (11
3), the banknote is guided to the reject storage cylinder (114), and if it is not an abnormal banknote, the contents of the evacuation count memory of the corresponding denomination are +IL, (
115), conveyance path d1. : Guide<(116).

After a predetermined time, motor HPM1. HPM2 is stopped (117). As a result, several (usually about three) banknotes are held in the waiting path d. These banknotes are banknotes fed out after the banknotes whose counts have been matched, and are stored in storage boxes of respective denominations in the next batch process.

Motor HPM1. After HPM2 stops, the operator manually inserts the separate plate into the temporary holding section corresponding to the denomination for which the match indicator lamp is lit (11″8). CL1 to CL6 are turned on to drive motor IKM1, and the upper surface of banknotes held on the support plate no longer blocks the light from sensors LEVI to LEV6 (sensors of the corresponding denominations) (the support plate position shown in Figure 1). Then, the support plate is lowered to a point where the separate plate can be easily inserted by the staff.When the clutch is turned off by the next start command, the support plate is raised by the spring horn.Then, for the matching denomination, the batch counting memory is The data in the denomination and the data in the buffer memory are added and the sum is stored in the buffer memory.Then, the batch counting memory for the corresponding denomination is reset (119).

Next, temporary holding sections SH1 to S by denomination shown in Figure 2
)-16, any support plate Pi a-P6
a, Pl b-P6b is lowered by the stacked banknotes and is detected by the corresponding one of the sensors LP11 to LPL6 (125). Then perform storage processing (126)
. That is, as shown in FIG. 10, for the detected denomination, only the corresponding clutches CL1 to CL6 are turned on (301), and the motor IKM1 is driven (302).
. As a result, the support plate lowers and the sensors HPL1 to HP
When detected by L6 (304), motor IKM1 is stopped (305). Thereafter, the motor IKM2 is driven (306), the lever is moved to the left as shown in the figure, the support plate is opened, and the banknotes stacked there are transferred to the receiving plate R.
1 onto R6 and stored (307).

Then, clutches CL1 to CL6 are turned off (308),
The support plate is raised by the spring force (309). On the other hand, if the sensors HEV1 to HEV6 are blocked by a banknote, the clutches TC11 to TCL6 of the corresponding denomination are turned on and the motor TPM is driven to lower the stacked banknotes until they are no longer detected. Keep it.

Next, when the operator presses the start switch (127),
The coincidence mark is reset (128), and if there are banknotes on the conveyance path (standby path d) (129), those banknotes are sorted and stored (130° 131, 132, 133). If there are banknotes on the mounting table (136), the mode of the transport system is MPMI.

Drive MPM2 (137), then motor KPM
is driven (138), and the process moves to step 103 to continue counting.

If there are no banknotes on the mounting table in step 136 and (1
36), the next time they carry out compulsory detention (139), they will carry out compulsory detention (140). The forced i1+11 storage is used to forcibly store the rejected banknotes in steps 105 and 114 into each storage section.The operator takes out the rejected banknotes from the seventh storage section S7 and visually identifies them by denomination. Separate the banknotes (excluding counterfeit banknotes if any), put each denomination into slot 1, press the forced storage switch, specify the denomination one by one, and force the banknote to be stored in the storage section for that denomination. It is something. In steps 104 and 113, since the back notes are rejected as "abnormal banknotes," they must be put into the respective denomination storage units from the reject storage unit.

In addition, banknotes that are chained, have an abnormal thickness, or are skewed are forced to be accommodated because they are normal genuine banknotes.

FIG. 11 shows the control operation in the case of forced detention. First, the forced detention switch is pressed! =(401
), turn on the compulsory detention flag (402), wait for the denomination selection switch to be pressed (403), and switch the gate plate (any of GPM1 to GPM5) for the relevant denomination.
404>.

Then, hold the start switch pressed (40
5), Motor HPM1. The HPM2 and the motor KPM are turned on (407), and each time a banknote passes the recognition section, it is recognized (408). In the case of abnormal banknotes, (40
9), lead to the reject storage section (410). If it is not an abnormal banknote (409), the buffer memory of the specified denomination is +
411) and lead to the storage section (412). The above operations (408 to 412) are repeated until there are no more banknotes on the table (
413) Continuing, turn off the motor KPM when it runs out 414), and then turn the motor KPM off after a predetermined time. H
PM2 and the gates that were operating (GPM1 to GPM5)
) is turned off (415).

After that, return to step 401 and press the receive switch OK.
When K is pressed (416), the compulsory detention flag is turned off (417), and the compulsory detention process ends.

Incidentally, during the above-mentioned forced accommodation, it is also possible to put all the denomination banknotes into the insertion slot 1 at once and feed them out, have the denomination determined by the identification section, and exclude all the denominations other than the designated denomination. .

Next, referring to FIG. 9, the second step of step 014 in FIG.
The mode processing (fit/loss mode, fit/loss batch mode) will be explained.

The feeding roller 3 feeds out only one banknote at the lowest position from the stacked banknotes placed on the mounting table 2 in the direction of the gate roller 4 (201), and conveys it by the conveyor belt 6 (202).
). Then, the identification unit 7 identifies the sent banknotes (203).

Assuming that the fitness mode is specified, identification items such as fitness, authenticity, denomination, front and back, thickness, chain, skew, tear, etc. are identified. If the reverse, abnormal thickness, chain, skew, or tear is detected (204), the banknote is determined to be an abnormal banknote and is transported to the seventh storage section 87 (reject pocket) (205).

If it is normal, then it is determined whether or not the denomination has been specified by referring to the designated denomination flag (206). If the denomination is specified, it is determined whether the banknote is of the designated denomination or not, with reference to the identification result in step 203 (207). For designated denominations,
Depending on whether it is a good note or an unfit note (208), the number of sheets is +IL in the corresponding buffer memory area, (209, 21)
0) Lead to the correct bill storage section and unfit bill storage section, respectively (211°212). If it is a different denomination, it will lead you to the different denomination storage section (21
3).

If the denomination is not specified in step 206, depending on whether the note is a good note or an unfit note (regardless of which denomination it is),
+1 is added to each buffer memory section (20
9,210), leading to the corresponding storage section.

The memory area used in steps 209 and 210 is
If a denomination is specified, this is the memory area for the positive or loss of the specified denomination, and if no denomination is specified, this is the memory area for the total positive or loss.

The allocation of storage units is as shown in the 8th column (when no denomination is specified) and the 0th column (when a denomination is specified) in FIG. 6.

For example, if the front of the bill is a genuine bill (if the denomination is specified, then only the designated denomination is specified), when the sensor GSE4 or GSE5 of the gate drive detection unit detects the leading edge of this bill, the gate drive unit The motor GPM4 or GPM5 is operated, the gate plate GB4 or GB5 is rotated as shown by the broken line, the banknotes are conveyed toward the conveyance system n or O, and the banknotes are stacked horizontally by the impeller HA4 or HA5.

The reason why two bins are assigned to the same type is so that when one becomes full, the other can be used.

The subsequent operations are similar to steps 109 to 140 in FIG. However, the difference is that in step 132, instead of leading to the denomination storage part, the money is led to the fitness classification storage part.

In the above explanation, it was stated that the "number of bills" of the corresponding type is updated each time a banknote is taken out in the buffer memory section of the data memory RAM and the main memory section, but the "denomination" is also updated automatically. Updated.

In addition, the total number of coins and denomination can be provided and updated. moreover,
When data in the buffer memory section is added to the main memory section, not only the number of sheets but also the amount is added.

(Modified example of the invention) The arrangement order of the first to seventh storage sections 81 to S7, the structure of the temporary storage section, the shape of its support plate, receiving plate, butcher 1 separation piece, etc. are the same as those of the above embodiment. It is not limited to.

In the above embodiment, the seventh storage section S7 is assigned to store banknotes, and since this is considered to have a small number of banknotes, it is a small storage section between each, but the first to sixth storage sections It may be similar to.

In addition, since the number of two-dollar bills issued and circulated is extremely small, they are classified as abnormal bills (however, they are counted separately in the data memory), but if necessary, a separate storage area for two-dollar bills is provided. may be provided.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, the banknotes fed out after the banknote whose count value matches the set value are identified, and the banknotes are made to wait in the waiting passage, so that normal banknotes are This reduces the amount of data that is sent to the reject section, increasing counting efficiency.Furthermore, the reject section is less likely to become full, which saves the operator's time and effort.
