The bill 41 is withdrawn into the storage unit 41 for each sheet, and the bill is conveyed to a temporary stacking unit of a preset accumulation destination based on the type of bill discriminated by the discriminating unit 2. When a certain number of bills are accumulated in any one of the temporary accumulators 6a to 6d, they are transferred to the banknote binding mechanism 10 in a bundle state to generate a banknote bundle. The banknote accumulation which has a function which detects the banknote space | interval of the banknote conveyed conveyance path 3d by a program, and conveys the banknote after the next banknote of the approach banknote to another temporary accumulator, and avoids an accumulation abnormality, when an approach banknote is detected. The banknote arrangement processing program to which the processing program etc. were added is previously stored, and the hardening of the banknote arrangement | work apparatus of this embodiment is performed by the step of the banknote preparation process program which the control part 40 performs. Each function as a control means is formed.

In addition, the storage unit 41 is displayed as a time for determining the approach of the banknote interval, which is the time until the conveyance monitoring sensor 19 detects the trailing edge of the preceding banknote and then detects the leading edge of the next banknote. The prescribed bill interval is stored.

Hereinafter, using the time chart shown in FIG. 8 and the flowchart shown in FIG. 9, the banknote accumulation process in the banknote preparation process of a present Example is demonstrated along the step shown by S in FIG.

When power is supplied to the banknote arranging apparatus, the control unit 40 displays a selection screen of various sorting modes on the screen of the operation display unit 13 by the banknote arranging program.

The operator selects a rearranging mode to be executed on the displayed selection screen, and designates the type of bills to be bound and the like.

In the present embodiment, as the rearranging mode, one kind of money-binding mode of 10,000 yen bills is selected, and it will be described as a normal ticket of 10,000 yen bills and a damage ticket of 10,000 yen bills specified for each kind of banknote.

The operator sets the 10,000 yen ticket in which the normal right and the damage right are mixed in the inlet 1 and presses the counting start button 7a of the operation unit 7.

The control part 40 which received the press of the count start button 7a initializes the accumulation number count area 42a-42d of the memory | storage part 41 to "0", and simultaneously accumulates it in the temporary accumulation part 6a. The number of banknotes is accumulated on the temporary stacking unit 6a or the temporary stacking unit 6b, and the temporary stacks 6c and 6d are accumulated in the temporary stacking unit 6a or the temporary stacking unit 6b. When the banknote is set, it is set as an auxiliary accumulating unit without a type designation for accumulating subsequent banknotes, and stored in the storage unit 41 as the type setting.

And the control part 40 measures the banknote from the inlet 1, measuring the elapsed time until the conveyance monitoring sensor 19 detects the front end of the banknote conveyed by the clock part 43 by the clock part 43. Each sheet is sent to the conveying path 3a and conveyed to the discriminating unit 2, and the discriminating unit 2 detects the authenticity, normality and damage of the conveyed banknotes, detects the kind of money, and conveyance abnormality. The discrimination result is transmitted to the control unit 40.

On the basis of the result of the discrimination, the control unit 40 receives the discriminated banknotes, and when the banknotes discriminated are true bills of 5000 yen, 2000 yen bills, and 1,000 yen bills, and the bills are not bound, the open pockets are opened by the transport paths 3c and 3e. It conveys to 5) and accumulates.

Moreover, when the discriminated banknote is a banknote which discriminated by the counterfeit right or the kind of money unknown, and the conveyance abnormality, such as overlapping conveyance, was detected and conveyed to the reject pocket 8 by the conveyance path 3b, it accumulates.

The banknotes discriminated by the 10,000 yen ticket of the true right are returned to the front and rear inversion unit 4 by the transport path 3c regardless of normal and damage, and after the front and back are aligned in the front and rear inversion unit 4, they are accumulated by the transport path 3d. It conveys to the distribution conveyance path 15 of the mechanism 6.

In this way, the banknotes conveyed to the accumulating mechanism 6 are accumulated in the temporary accumulators 6a to 6d as follows.

S1, the control part 40 waits for the passage of the banknote conveyed by the conveyance monitoring sensor 19 to the conveyance path 3d, and detects the tip of the conveyed banknote (the conveyance monitoring sensor 19 shown in FIG. 8). In the present embodiment, when the one of the left and right sensors is turned ON, the elapsed time measured by the clock part 43 is recognized and the process proceeds to step S2.

The control part 40 which detected the front-end | tip of S2 and a banknote recognizes the accumulation place of the banknote detected with reference to the classification setting of the memory | storage part 41 based on the discrimination result of the discriminating part 2.

In the present embodiment, the case where the discrimination result is the normal right of the 10,000 yen ticket and the accumulation destination is recognized by the temporary accumulation unit 6a will be described.

The control part 40 which recognized S3 and the accumulation destination waits for the detection of the back end of the banknote detected by the said step S1, and detects the back end of the banknote (from ON of the conveyance monitoring sensor 19 shown in FIG. 8). In the present embodiment, when both of the left and right sensors are turned off, the measurement of the elapsed time until the watch 43 detects the leading edge of the next bill is started. Go to

S4 and the control part 40 shift to step S10 when the banknote is the first banknote conveyed, and it transfers to step S5 when the banknote is the banknote after the 2nd sheet.

The control part 40 which recognized that S5 and the said banknote is a banknote of the 2nd sheet | seat or later has the elapsed time recognized when detecting the front end of the said banknote in said step S1, and the banknote from the rear end of the preceding banknote to the front end of the banknote It recognizes as an interval and temporarily stores this in the memory | storage part 41. FIG.

The control part 40 which recognized the banknote space | interval of S6 and the said banknote reads the prescribed banknote space | interval and banknote space of the memory | storage part 41, and judges the banknote as an approach banknote when the banknote space | interval is less than the prescribed banknote space | interval. The flow proceeds to step S7.

When a banknote space | interval is more than a prescribed banknote space | interval, it is determined that conveyance of the banknote is normal conveyance and it transfers to step S10.

S7 and the control part 40 which determined the banknote as an approach banknote recognize the accumulation target of a preceding banknote based on the discrimination result of the discriminating part 2, and when the accumulation target differs from an access banknote, accumulation is normal. It judges that it is performed, and it transfers to step S10.

If the accumulation destination of the preceding banknote is the same as the approach banknote, it is determined that there is a possibility that an accumulation abnormality may occur, and the flow proceeds to step S8.

The control unit 40, which determines that there is a possibility that an abnormality of accumulation occurs in S8, is an auxiliary accumulation unit in which the type of banknotes to be accumulated is not set among other temporary accumulation units other than the accumulation destination for accumulating access bills (this embodiment). In the above, any one of the temporary accumulators 6c and 6d, for example, the temporary accumulator 6c, is selected as a temporary accumulator for accumulating banknotes of the same type (in this embodiment, 10,000 yen normal) in the same manner as the type of the approach banknote.

S9, and the control part 40 makes the kind of banknotes accumulate | stored in the temporary accumulator 6c as a normal right of 10,000 yen, based on this selection result, and the temporary accumulator 6a does not accumulate subsequent banknotes at last. The type setting of the storage section 41 is changed as the degenerate accumulation section.

Thereby, when the banknote after the next banknote of an approach banknote is a banknote of the same kind as an approach banknote, it accumulates in the temporary accumulation part 6c.

The control part 40 which detected the banknote conveyed by S10 and the conveyance path 3d, and recognized the accumulation destination conveys to the temporary accumulation part (6a in this embodiment) corresponding to the accumulation destination of the distribution conveyance path 15. As shown in FIG. The switching blade 21a for changing the direction is operated at a predetermined timing to convey the banknote in the direction of the temporary stacker 6a.

S11, the control part 40 detects the front end of the said banknote in the said step S1 by the clock part 43, until the entry sensor 22a of the temporary accumulator 6a detects the front end of the banknote. Waiting for the entry sensor 22a to detect the leading edge of the banknote within the prescribed transfer time while measuring the transfer time, and the entry sensor 22a detects the leading edge of the banknote (the entry sensor 22a shown in FIG. 8). In the present embodiment, the process proceeds to Step S13 when one of the left and right sensors is turned ON.

When the entrance sensor 22a does not detect the front-end | tip of the said banknote within the prescribed conveyance time, it transfers to step S12.

The control part 40 which recognized that S12 and the entry sensor 22a does not detect the front-end | tip of the said banknote within the prescribed conveyance time has a jam in either of the conveyance monitoring sensor 19 to the entry sensor 22a. It judges that it has occurred, and displays the words on the screen of the operation display unit 13 to stop the operation of the bill handling apparatus.

After that, the operator checks the contents displayed on the operation display unit 13, checks the site, removes the jam bills, etc., and restarts the bill arranging apparatus.

The control part 40 which recognized that S13 and the entry sensor 22a detected the front end of the banknote is from the time when the entry sensor 22a detects the front end of the banknote by the clock part 43 in step S11. Entry sensor 22a while measuring the time until the entry sensor 22a detects the rear end of the banknote (the time corresponding to the length of one banknote passing through the entry sensor 22a, called a banknote passing time), Waiting for 22a to detect the trailing edge of the banknote within the prescribed bill passing time, and the entry sensor 22a detects the trailing edge of the banknote (says OFF from ON of the entry sensor 22a shown in FIG. 8). In this embodiment, the process proceeds to Step S15 when both of the left and right sensors are turned off.

When the entrance sensor 22a does not detect the rear end of the banknote within the prescribed bill passing time, the process proceeds to Step S14.

S14, the control part 40 which recognized that the entry sensor 22a does not detect the rear end of the said banknote within the prescribed banknote passage time, the jam generate | occur | produced in the vicinity of the entry sensor 22a, ie, the entrance of the temporary accumulation part 6a. Judgment is made, the word of the effect is displayed on the screen of the operation display part 13, and the operation | movement of a banknote arrangement | finishing apparatus is stopped.

After that, the operator checks the contents displayed on the operation display unit 13, checks the site, removes the jam bills, etc., and restarts the bill arranging apparatus.

S15 and the controller 40 recognizing that the entry sensor 22a detects the rear end of the banknote recognizes that the banknote is accumulated in the temporary accumulator 6a, and the count of counting area 42a of the storage unit 41 is determined. The number of sheets of banknotes accumulated in the temporary stacking unit 6a is updated by adding "1" to the count number.

S16, the control unit 40 which has updated the number of accumulations of the temporary accumulation unit 6a confirms the number of accumulations of the accumulation number count area 42a of the storage unit 41, and if the accumulation number of the temporary integration unit 6a is less than a certain number of steps, the control unit 40 confirms the accumulation number of steps. Go to S18.

If the number of accumulations of the temporary accumulation unit 6a is a fixed number, i.e., 100, it is determined that the accumulation destination needs to be changed, and the flow proceeds to step S17.

The controller 40 recognizing that a certain number of banknotes are accumulated in the temporary storage unit 6a at S17 indicates that one of the auxiliary accumulation units in the type setting of the storage unit 41 is accumulated, for example, in the temporary accumulation unit 6c. The type is set to the same type as the temporary accumulation unit 6a, that is, the normal right of the 10,000 yen ticket, and the type setting of the storage unit 41 is changed as the temporary accumulation unit 6a as the auxiliary accumulation unit.

Then, the transfer mechanism 9 pulls out a predetermined number of bills of the temporary stacking unit 6a in a bundle state and transfers them to the banknote binding mechanism 10, and at the same time, the temporary stacking unit 6a of the stacking count area 42a of the storage unit 41a. The accumulated number of sheets is reset to "0" and the routine proceeds to Step S18.

In parallel with this, the control part 40 receives a bundle of 100 banknotes from the transfer mechanism 9 by the conveyance means 31 of the banknote binding mechanism 10, and the tape supply means 34 Printing type 33 of the bills is printed on the supplied tape 32, the tape cut by the cutter 35 is wound around 100 bills, and a bundle of bills is created. Send and release to the outside of the device.

When the control unit 40 which changes the type setting of the storage unit 41 by updating the accumulation number of the temporary accumulation unit 6a or by accumulating a certain number of bills is set in step S9, In step S20, the flow proceeds to step S19 when the degenerate accumulation portion is not set.

Recognizing that S19 and the degenerate accumulation part are not set, the control part 40 displays the integrated status display screen shown in FIG. 10 on the screen of the operation display part 13, and transfers to step S21.

On the accumulation status display screen, the setting of the type of bills to be accumulated therein is displayed in the accumulation type column in correspondence with the numbers displaying the respective temporary accumulation units 6a to 6d, and the accumulation number up to that point is accumulated. Column is displayed.

Thereby, the accumulation number for each type of temporary accumulators 6a-6d is updated and displayed at any time whenever a banknote is accumulated.

In this case, when the type setting of the storage unit 41 is changed in step S17, the type after the change is displayed in its accumulation type column in the temporary accumulation unit 6c in which the type setting is changed.

Recognizing that S20 and the degenerate accumulation unit are set, the control unit 40 identifies the degenerate temporary accumulation unit (6a in the present embodiment) with reference to the type setting of each temporary integration unit of the storage unit 41, and displays the operation display unit. The degenerate accumulation part display screen shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the screen of (13), and the flow proceeds to step S21.

The degeneracy accumulation part display screen is a display which displays the accumulation of the approach banknote, and corresponds to the number which displays the temporary accumulation part 6a set as a degeneracy accumulation height, and displays and accumulates the meaning of degenerate accumulation part in the accumulation type column. "-" Indicating that the number of accumulations is not constant is displayed in the number of sheets, and the other temporary accumulation units 6b to 6d are displayed similarly to the accumulation status display screen.

In this case, since the degeneracy has occurred, the type after the change is displayed in the accumulation type column in the temporary accumulation unit 6c in which the type of the banknote to be newly accumulated is set.

Accordingly, the operator can recognize that the approach bill is generated and the degenerate accumulation section is set, and after the end of the bill accumulation processing or stops the bill accumulation processing once, the operator can appropriately treat the bills accumulated in the degeneracy accumulation section.

The control part 40 which displayed the accumulation state to S21 and the temporary accumulation parts 6a-6d is, when the banknote counted in the said step S15 is the last banknote of the banknote put into the inlet 1, it carries out a banknote accumulation process. Quit.

If the accumulated banknote is not the last banknote, the flow returns to step S1 to continue the above-described banknote stacking process.

Here, the operation of the above-described bill accumulation processing will be described continuously using FIG.

When the transfer destination of the banknote detected by the conveyance monitoring sensor 19 is the temporary accumulation unit 6a, the switching blade 21a is switched in the direction of the temporary accumulation unit 6a at a predetermined timing (step S10), and the banknote is transferred to the temporary accumulation unit 6a. It conveys in the direction of, and when the rear end of a banknote is detected by the entrance sensor 22a (step S13), the accumulation number of the temporary accumulator 6a is updated (step S15).

When the destination of the banknotes detected at the second sheet is also the temporary accumulator 6a, the banknotes are accumulated in the temporary accumulator 6a in the same manner as described above, and the number of accumulations is updated.

When the third banknote is determined as an approach banknote (step S6) and the accumulation destination is the same as that of the preceding banknote, i.e., recognized as the temporary accumulation unit 6a (step S7), as indicated by the dashed line arrow in FIG. The approach banknote is accumulated in the temporary stacking unit 6a, and the stacking destination of the same kind of banknotes subsequently conveyed is changed to the temporary stacking unit 6c (step S9).

If the type of the banknote detected on the fourth sheet is the same as the type of the banknote accumulated in the temporary stacking unit 6a, the stacking destination of the banknote is recognized as the temporary stacking unit 6c by the changed type setting (step S2), When the switching blade 21c is switched in the direction of the temporary stacker 6c (step S10), the banknote is conveyed in the direction of the temporary stacker 6c, and the rear end of the banknote is detected by the entry sensor 22c (step S13). The accumulation number of accumulation units 6c is updated (step S15).

The same applies to the bills after the fifth sheet.

As described above, in the banknote stacking process of the present embodiment, when the banknote is detected, the banknote is accumulated in the temporary stacking unit (6a in the present embodiment) of the original stacking destination, and then the next banknote of the same type thereafter. Since the accumulation destination is changed to another selected temporary accumulation unit (6c in the present embodiment), the banknotes thereafter, even if misalignment due to collision occurs in the temporary accumulation unit 6a of the original accumulation destination, for example. Can be integrated into other temporary accumulators 6c in an orderly manner, thereby preventing abnormal integration in the temporary accumulators 6a to 6d.

In addition, since the detection of the leading edge of the banknote was set to ON of either of the left and right sensors, and the detection of the trailing edge of the banknote was made of both of the left and right of the sensors of the left and right sensors, when the meandering of the banknotes to be carried lightly occurred, It is possible to measure the short bill interval, and more accurately detect the approach bill, thereby reliably preventing the accumulation abnormality in the temporary stacking portions 6a to 6d.

As described above, in the present embodiment, a conveyance monitoring sensor for monitoring the conveyance state of the bill is installed in the conveyance path connecting the front and rear inversion unit and the accumulation mechanism, and the bill interval of the bill passing through the conveyance monitoring sensor is If it is shorter than the prescribed bill interval, the temporary accumulation unit other than the accumulator for accumulating the approach banknote is selected, the access banknote is accumulated in the original accumulator and the subsequent banknotes are accumulated in the other selected temporary accumulator. Therefore, even if a misalignment due to a collision occurs in the temporary accumulator of the original accumulating place of the approach banknote, for example, it is possible to accumulate subsequent bills in other temporary accumulators squarely, and when the approach banknote occurs Can be prevented from accumulating in the temporary accumulator.

Further, the other temporary accumulating unit is set to a temporary accumulating unit in which the types of bills to be accumulated are not set among a plurality of other temporary accumulating units other than the accumulating destination of the approach bills, so that the appropriate accumulators of the next bill of the approach bills are set. Can be selected.

In this case, the same effect can be obtained even if the other temporary accumulating unit is set as a temporary accumulating unit which accumulates the same kind of banknotes as the approach banknote and has an accumulation number less than a certain number.

This is particularly effective when the operator sets the type of each temporary integration unit in advance.

Further, by displaying the temporary accumulating portion in which the approach banknote is accumulated on the operation display portion as the display portion, the operator can easily recognize that the degenerate accumulation portion has occurred, and can appropriately treat the bill accumulated in the degenerate accumulation portion.

FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing a side surface of the temporary integration unit in Embodiment 2, and FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing a plane of the position sensor in the upper position in Embodiment 2. FIG.

In this case, the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

Since the temporary accumulators 6a to 6c of the present embodiment have the same structure, the temporary accumulator 6a will be described below as an example.

In the board-shaped press plate 29 provided in the temporary integration part 6a of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the motor 51 which raises and lowers the press plate 29 is provided, and the position sensor at the end opposite to the entrance opening is provided. Shield plates 53 of 52a and 52b are provided.

As shown in Fig. 13, the position sensors 52a and 52b are disposed so as to face the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion at intervals wider than the thickness of the shielding plate 53 on the inside of the U-shaped holder 54. It is a pair of optical sensors, It is arrange | positioned in the upper position which is the retreat position of the pressing plate 29, and the lower position which is lower than the entrance opening of a banknote, respectively, The light-receiving part that the shielding plate 53 blocked the light in a light emitting part. Detects the position of the pressing plate 29.

In Fig. 12, reference numeral 55 denotes a residual banknote detection sensor, which is a reflection type optical sensor which detects the reflected light of the light emitted from the light emitting part and detects the presence of the object to be detected, and is provided on the top plate of the temporary integration part 6a. It is arrange | positioned so that light may be irradiated to the center part of the press plate 29, and it has a function which detects the banknote which remains on the press plate 29. FIG.

Reference numeral 56 is an integrated plate, a board-shaped member that is bent upwardly on the opposite side of the entry port of the temporary accumulator 6a to impart a spring characteristic. It moves and forms an integrated space of bills.

The press plates 29 provided in the temporary accumulators 6a to 6d of the present embodiment accumulate access bills thereon, thereby preventing occurrence of an accumulation abnormality in the bill accumulator 6a or the like.

In the storage unit 41 of the present embodiment, the banknote binding process of the banknotes conveyed in the conveying path 3d is detected in the banknote binding processing program as in the first embodiment, and when the approach banknote is detected, the pressing banknote 29 is pressed. The banknote arrangement processing program to which the banknote accumulation processing program which has a function which accumulates above, and has the function which avoids an accumulation abnormality is previously stored, and the banknote arrangement | combination of this embodiment is performed by the step of the banknote preparation processing program which the control part 40 performs. Each functional means as hardware of the apparatus is formed.

In the storage unit 41, the same prescribed banknote interval as in Example 1 is stored.

Hereinafter, using the flowchart shown in FIG. 14, the banknote accumulation process in the banknote preparation process of a present Example is demonstrated along the step shown by SAR.

Since the operation of steps SA1 to SA5 of the present embodiment is the same as the operation of steps S1 to S5 of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

The control unit 40 that recognizes the paper money interval of SA6 and the bill is conveyed to a temporary accumulator (6a in the present embodiment) corresponding to the accumulating destination of the distribution conveyance path 15, similarly to step S10 of the first embodiment. The switching blade 21a for changing the direction is operated at a predetermined timing to convey the banknote in the direction of the temporary stacker 6a.

SA7 and the control part 40 wait and wait for the entry sensor 22a to detect the front-end | tip of the said banknote within the prescribed conveyance time by the method similar to step S11 of Example 1, and the entry sensor 22a respond | corresponds. When the tip of the banknote is detected, the routine advances to Step SA9.

When the entrance sensor 22a does not detect the front-end | tip of this banknote within the prescribed conveyance time, it transfers to step SA8.

The subsequent operation of step SA8 is the same as the operation of step S12 of the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

The control part 40 which recognized that SA9 and the entry sensor 22a detected the front-end | tip of the said banknote is a method similar to step S6 of Example 1, and when a banknote space | interval is less than a prescribed banknote space, it moves a banknote of a banknote close to it. If it is determined that the banknote interval is equal to or greater than the prescribed banknote interval, the transfer of the banknote is determined as normal transfer, and the routine advances to step SA15.

The control part 40 which judged SA10 and this banknote as an approach banknote is made by the method similar to step S7 of Example 1, and when the accumulating destination of a preceding banknote differs from an access banknote, it judges that an accumulation is performed normally, and it is step SA15. Go to

When the destination of the preceding banknote is the same as the approach banknote, it is determined that there is a risk of accumulation of abnormality, and the flow proceeds to Step SA11.

The control part 40 which judged that SA11 and the accumulation abnormality might generate | occur | produce stops the conveyance of the banknote by all the conveyance paths 3 (including the distribution conveyance path 15) once (refer FIG. 15A).

The control part 40 which stopped the conveyance of SA12 and banknotes lowers the pressing plate 29 by the motor 51 until the position sensor 52b detects the shielding plate 53, and accumulates the approach banknote on the pressing plate 29. A space is formed (FIG. 15B).

The control part 40 which formed the accumulation space of the approach bill of SAR13 drives the distribution conveyance path 15 only by rotating the motor 18 (refer FIG. 4), and enters by the method similar to step S13 of Example 1 If the sensor 22a waits for the rear end of the approach banknote to be detected within the prescribed banknote passing time, and waits, and if the entry sensor 22a does not detect the rear end of the banknote within the specified banknote passing time, the process proceeds to Step SA16.

The control unit 40 recognizes the accumulation on the pressing plate 29 of the approach banknote when the entry sensor 22a detects the rear end of the approach banknote (FIG. 15C), and positions the pressing plate 29 by the motor 51. It raises until the sensor 52a detects the shielding plate 53, and forms an integration space between the press board 29 and the banknote integrated on the integration board 56 (FIG. 15D). At this time, the approach banknote accumulated on the holding plate 29 is detected by the residual banknote detection sensor 55, and the control unit 40 recognizes the presence of the approach banknote on the pressing plate 29 of the temporary stacking unit 6a.

The control part 40 which recognized the presence of the approach banknote on SA14 and the holding plate 29 resumes conveyance of the banknote by all the conveyance paths 3, and transfers to step SA19 via the connector E. As shown in FIG.

In this case, the measurement of the elapsed time in step SA1 shall be taken out of the stop time until all conveyance paths 3 are stopped once and the conveyance of a banknote is restarted.

The control part 40 which recognized that SA15 detected the front end of the banknote by the entry sensor 22a is the same method as step S13 of Example 1, and the entry sensor 22a sets the rear end of the banknote through the prescribed banknote passing time. It waits to detect within and waits, and when it enters the back end of the banknote by the entry sensor 22a, it transfers to step SA17.

When the entrance sensor 22a does not detect the rear end of the said banknote within the prescribed banknote passage time, it transfers to step SA16.

Subsequent operations of Steps SA16 to Sa19 are the same as those of Steps S14 to S17 of the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

The control unit 40 which changes the type setting of the storage unit 41 by updating the accumulation number of the SA20, the temporary accumulation unit 6a, or by accumulating a certain number of banknotes, or accumulating on the pressing plate 29 of the approach banknote. If the residual banknote detection sensor 55 recognizes the presence of the access banknotes accumulated on the pressing plate 29, the process proceeds to Step SA22, and if the banknote does not exist on the pressing plate 29, the processing proceeds to Step SA21. To fulfill.

The control part 40 which recognized that banknote does not exist on the SA21 and the holding plate 29, similarly to step S19 of the first embodiment, displays the integrated status display screen shown in FIG. 10 on the screen of the operation display part 13. The process then proceeds to Step SA23.

The control part 40 which recognized the presence of the approach banknote on the pressure plate 29 was carried out by SA22 and the temporary banking part by the residual banknote detection sensor 55 which detects the approach banknote on the presser board 29 (this embodiment). In step 6a), the approach banknote display unit display screen shown in Fig. 16 is displayed on the screen of the operation display unit 13, and the flow proceeds to Step SA23.

In the approach banknote accumulating part display screen, the access bills were accumulated on the outside of the periphery by making the screen similar to the accumulation status display screen shown in FIG. 10 correspond to the number indicating the temporary accumulator 6a in which the access note was accumulated on the holding plate 29. Is displayed (in this embodiment, "R '(meaning of reject)").

Thereby, the operator can recognize the temporary accumulator which accumulated the approach banknote, can stop the banknote stacking process or stop the banknote stacking process once, and can treat the accumulated approach banknote appropriately.

Subsequent operations of Step SA23 are the same as operations of Step S21 of the first embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted.

As described above, in the banknote stacking process of the present embodiment, when the banknote is detected, the banknote is lowered and accumulated on the pressing plate 29 of the temporary stacker (6a in the present embodiment) of the original stacking destination. Then, the next banknote of the same type thereafter raises the pressing plate 29 of the same temporary accumulator (6a in this embodiment) and accumulates on the accumulator plate 24, so that the approach banknote is integrated into the original temporary accumulator 6a. It is possible to accumulate separately, so that misalignment due to a collision does not occur in the temporary accumulator 6a, and subsequent banknotes can be accumulated on the same stacking plate 24 of the same temporary accumulator 6a, and the banknote arrangement device The abnormality of accumulation in the temporary accumulators 6a to 6d can be prevented while maintaining the processing ability of the bill.

As described above, in the present embodiment, a conveyance monitoring sensor that monitors the conveyance state of the bill is installed on the conveyance path connecting the front and rear inversion section and the accumulation mechanism, and the conveyed bill is accumulated in the temporary accumulation section. An integrated plate and a holding plate of an integrated banknote configured to be able to move up and down opposite to the upper side of the integrated plate are provided, and when the approach banknote of the banknote passing through the conveyance monitoring sensor is shorter than the prescribed banknote interval, the temporary stacking unit descends. By allowing the access banknotes to be accumulated on the pressed plate, it is possible to accumulate the access banknotes separately in the original temporary accumulator, and thereafter, the banknotes can be accumulated on the integrated plate of the same temporary accumulator in a square manner. While maintaining the processing capacity of the banknote of the device, the accumulation abnormality in the temporary accumulation unit when the approach banknote occurs Can.

Example 3

Fig. 17 is a flowchart showing banknote accumulation processing of the third embodiment.

In this case, the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

The bill filing apparatus of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment.

In the storage unit 41 of the present embodiment, the banknote binding process of the banknotes conveyed in the conveying path 3d is detected in the banknote binding processing program as in the first embodiment, and when the approach banknote is detected, the original banknote is accumulated. The bills including the approach bills accumulated at the original stacking destination, while transferring the bills after the next bill of the approach banknote to the other temporary stacking unit and accumulating them, and avoiding stacking abnormalities. The banknote arrangement processing program to which the banknote accumulation processing program etc. which have the function to do this is added is previously stored, and each function means as hardware of the banknote arrangement | work apparatus of this embodiment is performed by the step of the banknote preparation process program which the control part 40 performs. Is formed.

In the storage unit 41, the same prescribed banking interval as in Example 1 is stored.

Hereinafter, the banknote accumulation process in the banknote preparation process of a present Example is demonstrated using the step shown by SV using the flowchart shown in FIG.

Since the operations of steps SC1 to SW8 of the present embodiment are the same as the operations of steps SA1 to SA8 of the second embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

The control part 40 which recognized that SW9 and the entry sensor 22a detected the front-end | tip of this banknote is the same method as step S13 of Example 1, The entry sensor 22a makes the trailing edge of the banknote pass the prescribed banknote passing time. It waits to detect within and waits, and when it enters the back end of the banknote by the entry sensor 22a, it transfers to step SW11.

When the entrance sensor 22a does not detect the rear end of the banknote within the prescribed banknote passing time, the process proceeds to Step SV10.

Since operation | movement of step SW10 after this is the same as operation of step S14 of Example 1, the description is abbreviate | omitted.

The control part 40 which recognized that SW11 and the entry sensor 22a detected the rear end of the banknote is a method similar to step S6 of Example 1, and when a banknote space | interval is less than a prescribed banknote space, it moves a banknote of a banknote close to it. When it determines with it, it transfers to step SW12 and when a banknote space | interval is more than a prescribed banknote space | interval, it is determined that conveyance of the banknote is normal conveyance, and it transfers to step SW14.

The control part 40 which judged SV12 and the said banknote as an approach banknote is made in the same method as step S7 of Example 1, and when it accumulates from the approach banknote of a previous banknote, it judges that an accumulation is performed normally, and it is step SV14. Go to

If the accumulation destination of the preceding banknote is the same as the approach banknote, it is determined that there is a possibility that an accumulation abnormality may occur, and the flow proceeds to Step SV13.

The control unit 40 which judged S13 and the said banknote as an approach banknote, and judged that an accumulation abnormality might generate | occur | produces, recognizes that the approach banknote was accumulated in the temporary accumulator 6a, and similarly to step S8 of the said Example 1, Of the temporary accumulators other than the accumulator which accumulate access banknotes, any one of the secondary accumulators (temporary accumulators 6c, 6d in this embodiment), for example, the type of bills to be accumulated is not set, for example, temporary accumulators. Part 6c is selected as a temporary accumulating unit for accumulating banknotes of the same kind (in this embodiment, normal yen of 10,000 yen bill) as the type of the approach banknote, and based on the selection result, the type of banknotes accumulated in the temporary accumulating unit 6c is 10,000 yen. The type setting of the storage unit 41 is changed as the temporary accumulation unit 6a as the auxiliary accumulation unit as the normal right.

Thereby, when the banknote after the next banknote of an approach banknote is a banknote of the same kind as an approach banknote, it accumulates in the temporary accumulation part 6c.

And the control part 40 pulls by the transfer mechanism 9 the banknote containing the approach banknote of the temporary accumulator 6a in bundle state, regardless of an accumulation number, and transfers it to the banknote binding mechanism 10, and the memory | storage part ( The number of accumulated sheets of the temporary accumulator 6a of the integrated number count area 42a of 41) is reset to "0", and the process proceeds to step SW18.

In parallel with this, the control part 40 receives the banknote containing an approach banknote from the conveyance mechanism 9 by the conveyance means 31 of the banknote binding mechanism 10 in the bundle state, and transmits it to the tape supply means 34. The tape 32 supplied by the printing means 33 prints ("R '" in this embodiment) in the sense that the banknote is included, and the tape cut by the cutter 35 contains the banknote. It is wound up on a bill and a bundle of bills is created and sent to the discharge port 11 to be discharged to the outside of the apparatus.

Accordingly, the operator can recognize the bill bundle including the approach bill and can appropriately treat the bill bundle including the approach bill after completion of the bill stacking process or during the bill stacking process.

Subsequent operations of Steps SW14 to SW16 are the same as operations of Steps S15 to S17 of the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

The control part 40 which changed the kind setting of the storage part 41 by updating the accumulation number of SW17, the temporary accumulator 6a, or the fixed number of banknotes is operated similarly to step S19 of Example 1, The integrated status display screen shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the screen of the display unit 13, and the flow proceeds to step SW18.

Since operation | movement of step SW18 afterward is the same as operation of step S21 of the said Example 1, the description is abbreviate | omitted.

As described above, in the banknote stacking process of the present embodiment, when the banknote is detected, the banknote is accumulated in the temporary stacking unit (6a in the present embodiment) of the original stacking destination, and thereafter, the next banknote of the same type. The banknotes containing the access banknotes accumulated in the temporary destinations 6a in this embodiment are accumulated by changing the accumulation destination, and the banknote binding mechanisms are pulled out by the transfer mechanism 9 to collect the banknotes. Since the tape 32 prints out that the tape 32 contains the approach banknote and releases it to the outside of the apparatus, even if a misalignment due to a collision occurs, for example, in the temporary accumulator 6a of the original accumulator, It is possible to squarely stack subsequent banknotes into other temporary accumulators 6c, and at the same time, the banknotes including the access banknotes accumulated in the temporary accumulators 6a are extracted, and the temporary accumulators 6a are immediately emptied. It becomes possible to return to a state, and the abnormality of accumulation in the temporary accumulation parts 6a-6d can be prevented, maintaining the processing ability of the banknote of the banknote arrangement | stacking apparatus.

As described above, in the present embodiment, a billing monitoring sensor for monitoring the conveyance state of bills is provided in the conveying path connecting the front and rear inverting section and the stacking mechanism, and the bills passing the transport monitoring sensor in the temporary stacking section. When the banknote intervals of which the banknotes are shorter than the prescribed time are accumulated, other temporary accumulators other than the accumulators accumulating the access banknotes are selected, and subsequent banknotes are accumulated in the selected other temporary accumulators, and the access banknotes are accumulated. The bills are accumulated in the temporary stacks of the original stacking destinations, and the bills containing the access bills accumulated in the temporary stacks are transferred to the bill binding mechanism by the transport mechanism regardless of the number of stacks. By using the tape which printed by the effect that the approach banknote was contained, the conveyed banknote was bound and discharged. For example, even if misalignment due to a collision occurs in the temporary accumulator of the original accumulator, it is possible to accumulate subsequent banknotes in other temporary accumulators squarely, and at the same time includes an access bill accumulated in the temporary accumulator. It is possible to pull out a bill and return the temporary accumulator to an empty state immediately, and prevent the accumulation abnormality in the temporary accumulator part when an approach banknote arises, maintaining the processing ability of the banknote sorting apparatus. have.
