Then normal money input is attainable.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field 1] The present invention relates to a banknote deposit processing device for depositing banknotes, and particularly relates to a banknote depositing device used for depositing a specific type of banknotes. It is.

[Prior art 1 A bill depositing device used in financial institutions such as banks is
It is equipped with a hopper section for depositing, and the banknotes put into the hopper section are separated one by one by a separating/exporting means and conveyed along a conveyor, and a counting and discrimination section counts the number of conveyed banknotes and checks their authenticity. After being subjected to a counting/discrimination process that includes determining the presence or absence of damage, identifying the denomination, etc., the coins are stacked in the stacker section. Here, since there are multiple types of banknotes such as 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and -10,000 yen, the banknote deposit device is provided with a plurality of stackers for stacking these various banknotes separately, and also for counting. When abnormal banknotes, such as banknotes that cannot be distinguished, banknotes of a different type, or damaged banknotes, are transported in the recognition unit, a stacker unit for removal is provided to remove the abnormal banknotes.

[Problem to be solved by the invention 1 By the way, as mentioned above, stacker sections are provided for each denomination,
Furthermore, if a separate removal stacker section is provided in addition to this, the installation space for these stacker sections will not only become large, but also the transport path for each stacker section described above and the path between these transport paths will become necessary. It is necessary to provide a route switching means for switching the route, which has disadvantages such as increasing the size of the depositing device and making its structure complicated.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bill depositing device having an extremely simple device configuration and a small and compact configuration.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a hopper unit into which banknotes of a specific type are input, and a system in which the banknotes input into the hopper unit are separated and carried out one by one. a separating/exporting means for carrying out the banknotes, a banknote conveyance path for conveying the banknotes carried out from the hopper section, a discrimination section disposed in the middle of the banknote conveyance path for counting and discriminating the conveyed banknotes, and the counting and discrimination section. a stacker section for storing banknotes counted and discriminated in the banknote section, the stacker section stacking the banknotes after counting and discrimination, and a stacker for removing abnormal banknotes when they are conveyed to the banknote conveyance path. Its distinctive feature is that it is configured to function as a separate section.

[Function 1] Therefore, in order to perform the deposit processing using this banknote deposit device,
The type of banknotes to be deposited is specified in advance on the operating section, and the banknotes of that type are thrown into the hopper section to operate the banknote depositing device. As a result, the separating and carrying out means is activated, and the banknotes put into the hopper are separated and taken out one by one, and are carried out to the banknote transport path. Then, the banknotes guided to the banknote conveyance path are counted and discriminated in the counting and discrimination section, and then further conveyed along the banknote conveyance path and stacked in the stacker section.

Here, in the counting and discrimination section, for example, banknotes that cannot be distinguished,
When abnormal banknotes, such as counterfeit banknotes, damaged banknotes, or banknotes with tape attached, are detected, the current deposit operation is determined to be abnormal, and all deposited banknotes are discharged to the stacker section. become. Therefore,
By simply providing a single stacker section, banknote deposit processing can be performed, and since only a single stacker section is provided, there is no need to provide a switching means for the banknote conveyance path, and the depositing device The configuration becomes extremely simple, making it possible to make it smaller and more compact.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a hopper section into which banknotes are thrown, 2 is a banknote conveyance path through which the banknotes are fed, 3 is a separate section, and 4 is a stacker section.

A banknote outlet 1a is formed in the hopper section 1, and the banknotes put into the hopper section 1 are transferred to the paper ff! The banknotes are transported to the banknote conveyance path 2 by a separating and transporting means 5 installed at the exit 1a. The banknote separating and discharging means 5 consists of a drive drum 7 that is rotationally driven by a motor 6 and a driven roller 8 that is in sliding contact with the drive drum 7. It is in a state where it is coming. A feeding portion 7a is formed by pasting rubber or the like with a large friction coefficient on the outer peripheral surface of the drive drum 7 at an angle corresponding to a length equal to or less than the length of the short side of the banknote. It has a smooth finish and is configured to prevent two or more bills from being continuously fed at the same time. In addition, on the front side of the drive drum 7 constituting the bill separating and discharging means 5, there is an eccentric structure in order to guide the bill put into the hopper section 1 toward the bill separating and discharging means 5 by swinging it from below. A rotating auxiliary feed roller 9 is provided, and a transmission belt 1° C. is wound between the auxiliary feed roller 9 and the drive drum 7.

The banknote conveyance path 2 that conveys the banknotes separated and carried out one by one in this manner is constructed by combining a feed roller 2a and a guide plate 2b provided at appropriate positions. The interval is slightly shorter than the length of the short side of the banknote. The feed roller 2a is rotated by a motor 6 via a transmission means (not shown) such as a transmission belt.

In addition, the counting and discrimination unit 3 provided in the middle of the banknote conveyance path 2 counts the number of conveyed banknotes, and also performs discrimination processing such as authenticity, presence or absence of damage, denomination, etc. The counting and discrimination section 3 includes, for example, a counting member 3a that includes a sensor that detects the passage of banknotes, and a discrimination member 3b that includes a line sensor or the like that discriminates the display pattern of the banknotes. The banknotes counted and discriminated in the counting and discrimination section 3 are conveyed along the banknote conveyance path 2, taken out from the banknote conveyance path 2 by an impeller-type banknote takeout means 11, and turned approximately 90''. The stacker unit 4 is configured to be stacked sequentially on the stacker unit 4.
functions as a stacker section for taking out banknotes when the deposit operation is performed normally, but the counting and discrimination section 3 detects unidentifiable banknotes, different types of banknotes, counterfeit banknotes, damaged banknotes, banknotes with tape, etc. attached. When the normal deposit operation is not performed, such as when there is an abnormal banknote such as
This stacker section 4 functions as a stacker section for removing the abnormal banknotes. Then, when the banknote is discriminated as an abnormal banknote by the count discrimination section 3 in this way, the display section 12 is configured to display this fact.

Further, in the figure, 13 indicates a shutter, and 14 indicates a banknote pressing member, and the shutter 13 can open and close the banknote output port 1a of the hopper portion l. While the hopper is closed, by eccentrically rotating the auxiliary feed roller 9, the banknotes thrown into the hopper part 1 can be swung to align the ends of the banknotes. Also,
The banknote pressing member 14 has a pressing roller 14a, and can press the banknote from above when the banknote is carried out from the banknote outlet 1a. The structure is such that the paper can be taken out smoothly and reliably down to the last one.

This embodiment is constructed as described above, and its operation will be explained next.

First, when putting banknotes into the hopper part l, the banknotes thrown in at one time are, for example, 1,000 yen or 5,000 yen.

- Only a single type of item, such as 10,000 yen, etc. Then, before performing the deposit operation, this denomination is specified on an operating device attached to the banknote deposit device.

Then, when the bill depositing device is activated, the shutter 1 is first activated.
3 remains closed, the motor 6 operates, and as a result, the auxiliary feed roller 9 rotates eccentrically, causing the banknotes thrown into the hopper section 1 to swing, and the ends of the banknotes to be rotated. will be arranged.

After the ends of the banknotes are aligned as described above, the shutter 13 is opened, and the pressing roller 14a of the banknote pressing member 14 is
Make it seem like you're holding down a banknote. When the banknote separating and discharging means 5 operates in this state, the banknotes in the hopper section 1 are separated one by one and sent out toward the banknote conveyance path 2, and are moved by the feed rollers 2a forming the banknote conveyance path 2 to the guide plate. 2b to the counting and discrimination section 3. Therefore, the counting discrimination section 3
The counting member 3a that constitutes the banknotes counts the number of banknotes, and the discrimination member 3b determines the authenticity of the transported banknotes.
The denomination, the presence or absence of damage, etc. are discriminated, and the results of this counting and discrimination are sequentially displayed on the display section 12. After completing this counting and discrimination, the banknotes are further conveyed along the banknote conveyance path 2, and are transferred to the banknote conveyance path 2 by the banknote removal means 11.
The paper is taken out from the stacker section 4 and stacked on the stacker section 4. Then, when all the banknotes carried out from the hopper section 1 are counted and distinguished and stacked in the stacker section 4, the banknote depositing operation is completed, and the display section 12 displays the deposited amount, number of bills, etc. You will be killed.

On the other hand, if the banknotes being transported along the banknote transport path 2 are of a different denomination than the designated denomination, are counterfeit, damaged, or have foreign objects such as tape attached to them, the banknotes themselves are abnormal. If the item is being transported in an abnormal manner, or if it is being transported in a double, chained, or skewed state,
Such abnormal banknotes are detected by the discrimination member 3b that constitutes the counting and discrimination section 3. As a result,
The display unit 12 will display that an abnormal banknote has been conveyed. Then, all the banknotes put into the hopper section 1 at this time are discharged to the stacker section 4 and are stacked therein. Therefore, it is possible to take out the banknotes discharged into the stacker section 4 in this way, manually discover abnormal banknotes, and replace the banknotes with other banknotes.
After removing the money, if the money is put into the hopper section 1 again, regular deposit processing can be performed.

Normally, before depositing money using this bill depositing device, bills are sorted by denomination in advance, so damaged bills, taped bills, etc. can be removed at that time, so as mentioned above, bills are sorted by denomination. There is little possibility that abnormal banknotes will be thrown into the hopper section 1, and therefore, as described above, there are very few cases where it is necessary to redo the deposit operation due to the insertion of abnormal banknotes, and it is possible to separate abnormal banknotes from other banknotes. Even if all the banknotes are sent to this stacker section 4 without being separated, the depositing work will not become so troublesome. Moreover, if the edges of the banknotes put into the hopper part 1 are aligned by the shutter 13, and the banknotes are carried out from the hopper part 1 while being pressed by the banknote pressing member 14, it is possible to prevent the banknotes from being stacked or chained. , the number of banknotes conveyed in a skewed state is extremely reduced, and the identification efficiency is improved.As a result, the number of banknotes conveyed in an abnormal state is reduced, and therefore the frequency of redoing the deposit operation is significantly reduced. Even if there is no provision, the deposit process will not become particularly troublesome.

By providing only one stacker section 4, the conveyance path of the banknote conveyance path 2 can be shortened, and unlike the case where a plurality of stacker sections are provided, it is possible to shorten the conveyance path of banknotes. Since there is no need to provide a means to do this, the overall structure of the deposit device is simple and can be made small and compact, and there is no risk of jamming of banknotes during transportation, allowing extremely smooth deposit operations. be able to do it.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, the banknote depositing device according to the present invention is configured to perform depositing processing for a specific type of banknote, and the stacker section is configured to deposit banknotes of a specific type when a normal depositing operation is performed. In addition to the function of stacking banknotes, the stacker is configured to act as an eject stacker when abnormal banknotes are conveyed to the banknote conveyance path, so it is possible to deposit banknotes with just a single stacker unit. In addition, it is possible to shorten the conveyance path of the banknote conveyance path, and there is no need to provide a switching means for this conveyance path.The configuration of the deposit device is extremely simple, making it possible to make it smaller and more compact. Paper! IlI! Since the transport route can be simplified, the deposit operation can be performed smoothly.
