Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve sheet counting work efficiency when doing the recounting work in a counting machine for received bank notes and the like by employing a separation member for separating, when bank notes of different account number begin to come, the notes of the latter account number from the former ones and receiving and holding the latter ones in the process of piling the paper sheets and the like. CONSTITUTION:When a counting process for one account number is finished with the number of bank notes P on a carrier 22 less than a specified number, the amount of the received money is stored in a memory and an auxiliary separator 100 is closed. Then bank notes of the next account number P' are counted, received and held one by one from a seal-transfer passage 18 into a vane 19a of a vane wheel 19, introduced by the turn of the vane wheel to a pile chamber 21, and piled temporally on the auxiliary separator 100. Then, when the sum of the number of notes of the former P and latter P' account numbers reach a specified value, the auxiliary separator opens to put the notes of both account numbers together. On the other hand, in case re-counting is performed when the notes of the latter account number are being counted because of jamming, etc., the notes on the auxiliary separator can be drawn out for re-counting. Thus, work efficiency is improved.

There is. Therefore, the carrier 22 can be moved by following the movement of the chain 6 by engaging the engagement roller 61a with the notch of the carrier mounting bracket 62.

Note that the L-shaped member 23 of the carrier 22, the impeller 19, and the separator 20 are in a nested state as shown in FIG. By bringing the end faces in one direction into contact with each other, the materials are stacked in a state in which they are aligned in this direction. In order to arrange the banknotes P in the longitudinal direction, a fixed guide 31 having an arrangement reference surface 31a is attached to the side frame 30 located on the reference guide portion side of the sealing conveyance path 18 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6. , the end face of the banknotes P is struck at a position opposite to this fixed guide 3 to arrange the banknotes P on the collection reference surface 31a side.
The prior application of Japanese Patent Application No. 143985/1984 provides a movable arrangement member 29 similar to the earlier invention of Japanese Patent Application No. 143985/1984, or moves with the moving movement of the carrier 22 and performs a tapping operation in a direction perpendicular to the carrier moving direction. Assortment board 3 similar to the invention
2 (Fig. 5.

6) is provided so that the longitudinal direction of the banknotes P can be automatically arranged.
The banknotes P that are sequentially discharged from 8 to 8 are the blades 19a of the impeller 19.
, 19a, are guided into the accumulation chamber 2 as the impeller 19 rotates, and are sequentially accumulated on the carrier 22 as shown in FIG. 3(a). At this time, when transporting banknotes within the specified number (for example, 100), the separator 20
The receiving part 38 is in a standby position near the exit of the conveyance path 18 (A)
It is in. Then, when the last specified number of banknotes P passes a predetermined detection position (the position of the detector 18a shown in FIG. 8),
The separator 20 is rotated at the same speed in the same direction as the rotation direction of the impeller 19, and stops rotating at the receiving and stacking position of the paper ejected to the stacking chamber 21 [the position shown in FIG. 3 (b)], and after the specified number of sheets Subsequent banknotes P are temporarily accumulated on the separator receiving portion 38.

On the other hand, the specified number of banknotes P on the carrier 22 are sent to the bundling section, which is a subsequent process, by the movement of the carrier 22 while the subsequent banknotes P are held by the separator 20. Then, when the carrier 22 returns to its original position, the temporarily held banknotes P on the separator 20 are transferred onto the carrier 22 as the separator 20 rotates, and the above-mentioned operation is repeated. Become.

By the way, if the processing of banknotes P for one account is completed without the specified number of banknotes P being accumulated on the carrier 22, by pressing a confirmation button (not shown), the number of banknotes deposited, the amount of money, Accounts, etc. are stored and stored in memory.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 3 (bt), the auxiliary separator 100 is operated and closed, and the fraction on the carrier 22 corresponding to the specified number of coins in the previous account is also stored in the memory.

After that, the counting of banknotes P' for the next account is started, and the banknotes P' are sequentially discharged from the sealed transport μm8 and passed through the impeller 19.
is received and held within the blades 19a and 19Fi of the impeller 19.
is guided into the accumulation chamber 21 as it rotates. This accumulation room 2
As shown in FIG. 3 (bl), the banknotes P' guided into the banknotes P' are received by the auxiliary separator 100 and temporarily accumulated.

Therefore, the banknotes P accumulated on the auxiliary separator 100
When the sum of the number P2 of ' and the fraction P of banknotes P in the previous account reaches the specified number, (Ps + P t = 1
00), the auxiliary separator 100 is opened as shown in FIG. 3(C). With this, banknotes P' for the next account
is dropped and combined with banknotes P for the previous account. This combined banknote P.

After P' is moved to the sealing section for the next step and sealed, the carrier 22 returns to its normal position.

The above operations can be executed continuously under normal conditions, but if a jam occurs during processing of the next account and reprocessing is necessary, it is necessary to perform the deposit processing for each account. It is important to separate the account from the previous account.

When performing this reprocessing, the banknotes P' stacked on the auxiliary separator 100 are taken out, inserted again through the banknote slot 3, counted again, and stacked on the auxiliary separator 100.

By doing this, a sufficient separation between accounts can be ensured without extracting the fraction P of the banknotes P.

In addition, when the fraction P of banknotes P in the previous account and the number P of banknotes P' in the next account reach the specified number, the first fraction P of the next account will be processed as a deposit for the next account. Even if reprocessing occurs during subsequent processing of the designated number of sheets, the number of sheets that have already been deposited will be treated as deposit processing, and only those accumulated in the carrier 22 will be treated as reprocessed.

Furthermore, if all account processing ends with fractions remaining in the device, it may become impossible to extract the fractions. In this case, the fraction P of 10 bills P
1 and the number P of banknotes P' for the next account, and the auxiliary separator 1.
By releasing 00, the numbers are combined and re-counted. In this case, the fraction P for the target account.

In order to avoid counting the number of coins deposited in the next account, it is made to match the memory for each account in the memory to avoid double counting.
By displaying 1Vc print 1, etc., the fraction of the secondary B position is clearly indicated.

Further, the guide 39 located in the carrier movement direction of the accumulation chamber 21 is configured to be movable so as to escape and move to a position where the busy accumulated banknotes P can pass when the carrier 22 is moved. That is, the movable guiding guide 39 has a pin 39C between the fixed guide 39a whose lower end is positioned higher than the height of the specified number of banknotes P to be stacked in the carrier and the lower end of the fixed guide 39fa. It is composed of a movable guide 39b which is pivotally supported as shown in FIG.
When the carrier 22 is in the banknote stacking position, it stops rotating in the extending direction of the fixed guide 39a as shown in FIG. It is designed to be rotated to the escape position as shown in Fig. 7.

Next, a binding section K for wrapping a belt-shaped heat-adhesive tape around a group of banknotes P separated into a specified number and transported by the carrier 22 will be described with reference to the drawings in FIGS. 8 and 9.

This bundling part includes a tape feeder 40 that supplies a strip material coated with a heat-melting agent on one side, for example, a thermal adhesive tape MT, and a thermal adhesive tape MT supplied from the tape feeder 4θ is transferred by the carrier 22Vc. A winder 41 that winds the group of banknotes P around the winder, a clamper 42 that suppresses and compresses and holds the group of banknotes P wound by the winder 41VC, and a clamper 42 that compresses and holds the group of banknotes P... Thermal bonding part 43 that thermally welds the thermal bonding tape MT wound around the rotor
1. The tape feeder 40 has a pinch roller holder 47 rotatably supported on a feeder bracket 46 fixed to the side frame 30, and the holder 4
A pinch roller 48 is rotatably supported on the free end of the roller 7, and a feed roller 49 that comes into contact with the pinch roller 48 is attached by a drive shaft 50. This feed roller 49 and pinch roller 4
A tape cutting device consisting of a fixed blade 53A and a movable blade ssB that reciprocates along the fixed blade 53kK by the operation of a solenoid 54 is provided in front of the tape cutting device 8. Furthermore, a guide plate 55 and a guide roller 56 for guiding the heat-adhesive tape MT are arranged on the ON side of this tape cutting device. Now it's 9. The drive shaft 50 is connected via a gear group 44 to a brake shaft 45 having a brake 51 at its intermediate portion, and this brake shaft 45 is connected to a gear group 52.
This buoy motor 0, which is connected to the feed motor 60 through The rotated heat adhesive tape MT is pulled back via the guide roller 56 to be tightened.

The configuration of the winder 41 will be explained.

First, as shown in FIG. 9, a bearing block 65 having a built-in radial bearing etc. is attached to the side frame 30, and a drive shaft 66 is rotatably held in this bearing block 65. A stop collar 67 and a stop plate 68 are attached to the base and end of the drive shaft 66 so as to be rotatable together with the drive shaft 6, and a guide shaft 69 is provided between the stop collar 67 and the stop plate 68. It is attached parallel to the drive shaft 66 to form a narrow guide 70.
A sliding block 7 is slidably fitted in the sliding block 7, and a tape carrier y-7 that holds the thermal adhesive tape MT supplied from the feeder 40 is attached to the sliding block 7.
2 is provided, and a catch driver 75 for rotating this tape character f72 together with the drive shaft 66 is also provided.

This catch driver 75 is a power transmission device W that transmits the power of the carrier driver 57 described above.

For example, a first gear 63 that rotates coaxially with the idle sprocket 58B, a second gear 63B that meshes with the first gear 63k, and a third gear that rotates coaxially as the second gear 6,yB. esc, and a fourth gear 63E (this fourth gear is attached to the drive shaft 66 and the rotational force is transmitted from the third gear 63C through a timing bell (timing bell) 6.9D shown in FIG. 8). (rotating).

In this way, since the catch driver 75 is driven by the same drive source motor 59 as the carrier driver 57, the movement of the carrier 22 and the rotation of the tape catch 72 are linked.

Here, the interlocking timing between the two will be explained based on FIG. The carrier 22 is a carrier home positilon (C
When the tape catch 72 is in the solid line position (CTHP) shown in FIG. 8, the engagement roller 61a attached to the chain 61 is at the solid line position (RHP) shown in FIG. ). Furthermore, when the carrier 22 reaches the seal position (CH2F) as shown by the imaginary line in FIG.
Take. When the engaging roller 61a reaches the reverse position (RP), the tape catch 72 assumes a position beyond the one rotation position (CTSP).

Note that when the engagement roller 61a moves between the RTOP position and the RP position, the engagement roller 61a disengages from the notch 62a of the carrier mounting bracket 62, so only the tape catch 72 is at the one rotation position. It will overrun. Then, the motor 59 reverses and the engagement roller 61a moves in the reverse direction to the RHP position, thereby moving the carrier 22 to the carrier home position (C).
RHP) is asked to return.

When a specified number of banknotes P are accumulated on the carrier 22,
The movable guide 39b of the guide 39 rotates as shown by imaginary lines in FIGS. 7 and 8, allowing the group of banknotes P to pass through. Also at the same time.

The tape feeder 40t/C feeds out a predetermined length of the thermal adhesive tape MT, and the end thereof is held by the tape catch 72.

When the carrier 22 starts to move from the home position (CRHP) to the seal position (CH2F), the tape catch 72 rotates in conjunction with the movement of the carrier 22, and during this period the heat-adhesive tape MT is repeatedly moved from the feeder 4oK to the seal position (CH2F). A group of banknotes P is taken out and placed on the carrier 22.
Wrap ... with thermal adhesive tape MT. Then, the carrier 22 stops at the seal position (CROP), and the tape catch 72 further rotates to a position (CTSF
).

Next, the clamper 42 moves into the groove ys of the clamper guide 73.
The carrier 2 descends along the altc with the stamping device 74.
The upper banknote group P... is pressed onto the carrier L-shaped member 23. When this clamper 42 presses down the group of banknotes P... on the carrier 22, the feed roller 49 is reversed by the reverse rotation of the reversible motor 60, pulling back the thermal adhesive tape MT and winding the group of banknotes P... Heat adhesive tape MT
After that, the end of the heat-adhesive tape MT is cut by the cutter 53 and 53B, and the cam 78 of the heat-adhesive part 43 rotates, and the heater 76 and the lever 76 are tightened together with the lever shaft 7.
9, the heater 76 is pressed onto the thermal adhesive tape MT at the bottom of the carrier, and the thermal adhesive tapes are thermally welded to each other.

Thus, the cam 78 further rotates, and at the same time, the lever 77 retreats to a position away from the group of banknotes P on the carrier 22. Further, at the same time as the heat-adhesive tape MT is welded, the stamp device 74 operates to stamp the bank name, date, etc. on the heat-adhesive tape MT for bundling banknotes. Once this stamping is completed,
The stamping device 74 and the clamper 4 are placed along the clamper guide 73.
2 retreats outside the turning radius of the Chive Chara F-72. At the same time, the tape catch 72 releases the heat-adhesive tape MT and rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 8 as the carrier motor 59 reverses. The movable guide 39b of the guide 39 is moved toward the home position (CRHP) side while placing the banknote group P bound with the tape MT (hereinafter referred to as banknote bundle Q). At this time, the movable guide 39b of the guide 39 is a fixed guide. 39a, the bill bundle Q on the carrier 22 comes into contact with the movable guide 39b, and the bill bundle Q falls onto the chute 8o located below.

This chute 80 is provided with a passage detection device 8) for the banknote bundle Q. This detection device 81 detects the timing of the banknote bundle Q falling onto the sheet B6. I'm checking to see if the bundle of banknotes Q has been staying there for a long time.

The banknote bundle Q bound with one heat-adhesive tape MTK slides down the chute 80 surface by gravity, and is discharged from the body of the binding device 2 through the banknote bundle discharge port 82 shown in FIG. become.

As mentioned above, in the process of accumulating banknotes P and P/, when the accounts of banknotes P and P/ change.

Since the auxiliary separator 100 is operated to receive banknotes P' from the next account, the banknotes P' from the previous account can be separated from the banknotes P' from the previous account, and the banknotes P and P' from the previous and next accounts do not mix, making reprocessing work extremely easy. Become.

It goes without saying that the present invention can be modified in various ways within the scope of its gist. [Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention has a method in which, in the process of accumulating paper sheets, fine sheets are transferred to the next bank account. Since we have installed a partition member to receive the paper sheets and separate them from the 10 sheets, the thin sheets from the previous account and the next account will not overlap in the stacking section and will not need to be reprocessed. In such a case, only the paper sheets for the next account can be taken out and processed, resulting in excellent work efficiency.
