However, in the paper sheet processing apparatus having the storage unit of the conventional winding system, there is a problem that the size and cost reduction of the device are not easy because the change of the paper sheet must be suppressed at the time of discharge.

In the paper sheet processing apparatus having the storage unit of the winding-up method, the paper sheet is inserted into the film due to the direction of the paper sheets at the time of the feeding and subsequent processing. When the banknote stored in the film is discharged as it is while the position is fluctuating, the paper sheet discharge position is changed. For this reason, there arises a problem that the released paper sheets are not easily taken out, or are not accommodated in the cassette for storing the released paper sheets. Then, the dedicated centering mechanism which collects paper sheets in the center area | region of an entrance and exit was provided on the conveyance path, and the position of the paper sheets inserted in a film was collected in the center area | region. However, since the dedicated centering mechanism is provided, there is a problem that not only the apparatus is enlarged but also the cost is high.

In particular, when the paper sheets temporarily inserted in the film are moved through a plurality of conveying paths and taken out to a plurality of cassettes, a number of centering mechanisms corresponding to the cassettes or the conveying paths must be provided, and the sheet processing apparatus The enlargement of the country was inevitable.

In view of these points, it is an object of the present invention to provide a paper sheet processing apparatus and a paper sheet processing method capable of having a paper sheet discharge position within a predetermined area without having a dedicated centering mechanism.

In order to solve the said subject, the paper sheet processing apparatus which sandwiches paper sheets between a pair of films, and winds and accommodates a film with a winding roller is provided. This paper sheet processing apparatus includes a sensor which detects the position of the paper sheets on a conveyance path, the correction amount calculating means which calculates a correction amount, and the position control means which controls the position of a winding roller.

Paper sheets move on the conveyance path which conveys paper sheets between the width direction of the winding roller orthogonal to the winding direction of a film, and the entrance and exit of a paper sheet. The sensor detects a position corresponding to the width direction of the take-up roller of the paper sheet moving on the conveying path. The correction amount calculating means compares the position of the paper sheets detected by the sensor with a predetermined area set for the entrance and exit when the paper sheets are stored in the take-up roller, and determines the amount of protrusion of the paper sheets from the predetermined area. Calculate. Then, based on the amount of protrusions, the correction amount for allowing the paper sheets to fall within the predetermined area is calculated, and the moving direction of the winding roller is determined to determine the moving amount of the winding roller. Then, the correction information relating the movement amount of the winding roller to the storage order of the paper sheets is stored in the correction information storage means. When the position control means releases the paper sheets stored in the take-up roller, the position control means reads out the correction information from the correction information storage means, and extracts the movement amount of the take-up roller corresponding to the paper sheets to be discharged next based on the storing order. Then, the moving means for moving the take-up roller in the width direction of the take-up roller is controlled based on the extracted movement amount, so that the paper sheet discharge position is within a predetermined area.

Moreover, in order to solve the said subject, the paper sheet processing method which performs the processing procedure of the said paper sheet processing apparatus is provided.

According to the paper sheet processing apparatus and paper sheet processing method disclosed, when storing paper sheets, the movement amount of the winding roller for centering is calculated, and the position of the winding roller is controlled based on the roller movement amount. This makes it possible to make the paper sheet release position within a predetermined area. As a result, it is possible to make the paper sheet release position within a predetermined area without having a dedicated centering mechanism, and the device can be miniaturized and reduced in cost.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiment is described with reference to drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS It is a figure which shows the concept of the invention applied to embodiment.

The paper sheet processing apparatus 1 includes a winding roller 1a for sandwiching paper sheets into a film, a sensor 1b for detecting the position of paper sheets, a correction amount calculating means 1c for calculating a correction amount, and correction information. 1D of correction information storage means to store, the position control means 1e which controls the position of the winding roller 1a based on the correction information, and the moving means 1f which moves the winding roller 1a.

The paper sheets 20 are placed in the doorway 1g formed in the paper sheet processing apparatus 1 and stored in the apparatus, and the stored paper sheets 20 are discharged from the doorway 1g. In addition, at the time of discharge | release of the paper sheet 20, the discharge position of the paper sheet 20 falls within a predetermined area for the purpose of facilitating taking out of the paper sheet 20 discharged | emitted. Hereinafter, this predetermined area | region set with respect to the width | variety of the entrance 1g is made into the centering area | region w1.

The winding roller 1a is disposed in the apparatus to face the entrance 1g, and winds and rewinds a pair of films in which the paper sheet 20 is inserted. The winding of the film is the storing operation of the paper sheet 20, and the paper sheet 20 moves in the storing direction shown in FIG. 1 in the apparatus. The rewinding of the film is the release operation of the stored paper sheet 20, which moves in the release direction shown in FIG. Moreover, the winding roller 1a can move to the width direction of the winding roller 1a by the moving means 1f. In the example of FIG. 1, it can move to the left and right of the figure.

The sensor 1b is arrange | positioned on the conveyance path of the paper sheet 20 which connects between the winding roller 1a and the entrance 1g. And the position of the width direction of the winding roller 1a of the paper sheet 20 which passes through a conveyance path is detected. For example, in the position coordinate from left to right in FIG. 1, when the paper sheet 20 passing through is detected, the minimum point (leftmost point) 20a and the maximum point (rightmost side) of the paper sheet 20 are detected. Point) 20b is detected. The position of the detected paper sheet 20 is notified to the correction amount calculating means 1c.

The correction amount calculating means 1c acquires the position of the paper sheet 20 detected by the sensor 1b when the paper sheets 20 blown in from the doorway 1g are stored in the winding roller 1a. The amount of protrusion from the centering region w1 of the stream 20 is calculated. For example, the minimum point (minimum position coordinate) 20a and the maximum point (maximum position coordinate) 20b of the paper sheet 20 of the horizontal direction detected by the sensor 1b, and the range (both ends) of the centering area | region w1 Position coordinates) are compared to determine whether the minimum point 20a or the maximum point 20b does not deviate from the centering area w1. When out of the center, the distance from the minimum point 20a or the maximum point 20b outside the centering area w1 to the end of the closest centering area w1 is calculated as the amount of protrusion, and the protruding part is centered. Calculate the amount of centering correction needed to fit within the area. In the simplest case, the amount of protrusion is the amount of centering correction. Moreover, in order to make the part which protrudes in the centering area | region, the direction which moves the winding roller 1a is made into the moving direction of the winding roller 1a. For example, when the minimum point 20a of the paper sheet 20 is outside the centering area w1, the distance from the minimum point to the nearest end of the centering area w1 is taken as a correction amount. And the direction toward the centering area | region w1 at the minimum point 20a is made into the movement direction of the winding roller 1a. In addition, when both the minimum point 20a and the maximum point 20b of the paper sheet 20 are in the range of the centering area | region w1, correction amount is set to O. In this way, the winding roller moving amount is calculated based on the calculated correction amount and the moving direction of the winding roller 1a. The winding roller moving amount indicates that the winding roller 1a is moved in the moving direction of the winding roller 1a by a correction amount from the state where the winding roller 1a is at the center. Corrected information is generated in association with the calculated correction amount and the winding roller movement amount and the storage order of the corresponding paper sheets 20, and stored in the correction information storage means 1d.

In addition, instead of making the amount of protrusion of the paper sheet 20 protruding from the centering region w1, the amount of protrusion may be a deviation between the center of the paper sheet 20 and the center of the centering region w1. have. Based on the coordinates of the paper sheet 20 position detected by the sensor 1b and the coordinates of the centering region w1, the amount of correction according to the distance between the center of the paper sheet 20 and the center of the centering region w1 is determined. Calculate. In addition, the direction which moves the winding roller 1a is made into the moving direction of the winding roller 1a for centering. Then, the winding roller movement amount is calculated in the manner as described above. In addition, when calculating protrusion amount, a predetermined threshold value may be set and a correction amount may be calculated only when the shift | offset | difference of a center point exceeds the predetermined threshold value. The calculated correction amount and winding roller movement amount and the storage order of the corresponding paper sheets 20 are registered in the correction information.

The correction information storage means 1d stores correction information generated by the correction amount calculating means 1c.

When the position control means 1e releases the paper sheets 20 stored in the winding roller 1a, the position control means 1e reads the correction information stored in the correction information storage means 1d, and the paper sheets 20 to be discharged next. The amount of winding roller movement of the machine is extracted. Since the discharge is performed in the reverse order to the storing order, the paper sheet 20 to be discharged next can be specified based on the storing order. Then, the moving means 1f for moving the take-up roller 1a in the width direction is driven based on the amount of the take-up roller movement of the paper sheet 20 to be discharged, thereby moving the take-up roller 1a to a desired position.

The moving means 1f moves the take-up roller 1a in the width direction of the take-up roller 1a based on the amount of movement (the size and the direction of the move) instructed by the position control means 1e.

Next, the operation of the paper sheet processing apparatus will be described. 2 is a view showing an outline of the operation of the paper sheet processing apparatus. Fig. 2A shows the paper sheet storage, and Fig. 2B shows the paper sheet release.

At the time of storing (A) of FIG. 2, the papers 21 and 22 move the conveyance path in the storage direction (the direction from the entrance 1g toward the winding roller 1a) in the order of the paper 21 and the paper 22. The sensor 1b detects the position of the paper 21, the paper 22, and the width direction (horizontal direction in the figure) of the paper-rolling roller 1a of the paper sheets to be taken in sequentially. In the example of FIG. 2, the position of the leftmost point 22a and the position of the rightmost point 22b are detected in the width direction of the winding roller 1a. The correction amount calculating means 1c acquires the position of the minimum point 22a and the maximum point 22b as the position of the paper 22 from the sensor 1b, and calculates the amount of protrusion compared with the centering area w1. do. In this case, the distance between the right end of the centering region w1 and the maximum point 22b is calculated as the protrusion amount 32. Then, the correction amount necessary to hold the paper 22 in the centering area is calculated to be at least the same as the protrusion amount 32 or to add a margin. Moreover, in order to make the paper 22 which protrudes in the right direction of the centering area | region w1, and is accommodated in the winding roller 1a in the centering area at the time of discharge, the winding roller 1a is moved to the left direction with respect to a conveyance path. And release it. Therefore, the moving direction of the winding roller 1a becomes the left direction toward the centering area | region w1 at the maximum point 22b. The amount of the winding roller moving that matched the correction amount (the size of the moving distance) and the moving direction of the winding roller 1a is obtained. The correction amount and the winding roller movement amount are registered in the correction information corresponding to the storing order. For example, when the paper 21 is the storing order "1", the correction amount and the winding roller movement amount are registered corresponding to the storing order "2" of the paper 22. The paper 22 is inserted in the film while maintaining the position of the winding roller 1a in the width direction, and is wound up and stored by the winding roller 1a.

(B) At the time of discharge, the papers 21 and 22 move the conveyance path in the discharge direction (the direction from the winding roller 1a toward the doorway 1g) in the order of the paper 22 and the paper 21. Here, after storing paper 21 and paper 22 in order, it is assumed that the discharge process is performed. Before discharging the paper 22, the position control means 1e reads the correction information to specify the paper (latest received) having the largest value of the storing order. In the example of FIG. 2, the correction information of the paper 22 is read. Then, the moving means 1f is instructed to move based on the winding roller moving amount extracted from the correction information to move the winding roller 1a. In this way, since the position of the winding roller 1a moved to the left direction with respect to the conveyance path and the entrance 1g, the paper 22 moves in the centering area of the entrance 1g, and is discharged | emitted.

Thus, according to the paper sheet processing apparatus 1, the position of the paper sheet is detected at the time of storage, the winding roller movement amount is calculated, and the winding roller 1a is moved in accordance with the winding roller movement amount at the time of discharge, and the paper sheet is released. Place the position within the centering area. Thereby, it becomes possible to suppress the change of the paper sheet position at the time of discharge from the paper sheet processing apparatus 1, without providing a dedicated centering mechanism. In addition, since a dedicated centering mechanism is not necessary, the paper sheet processing apparatus can be miniaturized and reduced in cost.

The control unit 100 controls the entire apparatus by the CPU (Central Processing Unlt) 101. The CPU 101 is connected to a random access memory (RAM) 102, a hard disk drive (HDD) 103, an input interface 104, and a motor control unit 105 via a bus 106. .

At least part of an OS (Operating System) program or an application program to be executed by the CPU 101 is temporarily stored in the RAM 102. The RAM 102 also stores various data necessary for processing by the CPU 101. The HDD 103 stores a program of an OS or an application. The input interface 104 is connected to the banknote position detecting sensor 330 or the stacker position detecting sensor 440, and receives the signal received from the bank note 106 from the banknote position detecting sensor 330 or the stacker position detecting sensor 440. It transmits to CPU101 via. The motor control unit 105 is connected to the motor 420, drives the motor 420 to move the belt 430 (not shown).

By this hardware configuration, the processing function of the bill temporary storage device can be realized. 6 is a block diagram showing the software configuration of the control unit of the bill temporary storage device.

The control unit 100 stores each of the processing units of the correction amount selecting unit 110, the protrusion amount calculating unit 120, the correction amount calculating unit 130, the position control unit 140, and the storage / release control unit 150, and correction information storage. Having a portion 160. Each processing unit realizes the processing function by the CPU 101 executing the banknote processing program.

The correction amount selecting unit 110 selects the correction amount calculated by the correction amount calculating unit 130 at the start. The correction amount includes a first correction amount for the purpose of centering the bill in the centering area and a second correction amount for the purpose of centering the bill in the center of the centering area (center of the conveyance path). The 2nd correction amount can improve the ease of taking out a banknote discharged, for example, when the size of the banknote handled changes. However, the movement amount of the temporary stacker 200 tends to be larger than the first correction amount. The movement of the temporary stacker 200 is made while the next banknote is discharged after the banknote is discharged, but the banknotes are discharged one by one on the conveying path 310, and the minimum distance (distance) between the banknotes is predetermined. Thus, the release time until the next banknote is released based on the interval at which the banknotes are released is compared with the maximum time required for the movement of the temporary stacker 200. And when the movement of the maximum distance of the temporary stacker 200 completes within discharge time, a 2nd correction amount is selected. The method of calculating the correction amount once selected is maintained until the operating conditions of the device change. In addition, the user can select which correction amount to use and instruct the bill temporary storage device 10. The correction amount selecting unit 110 notifies the correction amount calculating unit 130 of the application of the selected correction amount according to the instruction.

The protrusion amount calculating part 120 compares the position of the banknote winding roller 210 of the banknote which the banknote position detection sensor 330 detected in the width direction, and the position of both ends of a centering area, and calculates each protrusion amount. . In addition, the measurement result of the banknote position detection sensor 330 is based on when the position of the temporary stacker 200 is fixed to an initial state, ie, the original center position. The calculation method of protrusion amount is mentioned later. The detected protrusion amount is registered in the correction information stored in the correction information storage unit 160 in association with the storing order of the bill.

The correction amount calculating unit 130 calculates the centering correction amount and the temporary stacker movement amount using the protrusion amount calculated by the protrusion amount calculating unit 120 and registers the correction amount in the correction information. The calculation is performed using any one of the calculation methods, such as "centering the paper money in the centering area" or "centering the paper money in the center of the conveyance path" selected by the correction amount selecting unit 110. The method of calculating the centering correction amount and the temporary stacker movement amount will be described later.

When the position control unit 140 releases the bills stored in the temporary stacker 200, the position control unit 140 reads the correction information from the correction information storage unit 160, and based on the temporary stacker movement amount of the banknotes to be ejected next, the temporary stacker ( 200) to control the position. Based on the positional information of the temporary stacker 200 detected by the stacker position detecting sensor 440, the motor 420 is driven from the current position of the temporary stacker 200 based on the temporary stacker movement amount registered in the correction information. Then, the belt 430 is moved.

The storing and releasing control unit 150 determines whether the bill temporary storage device 10 performs either a bill storing process or a release process, and activates another processing unit according to the determination result. When a banknote storage instruction | command by an operator etc. is detected, or when banknotes are conveyed to the banknote temporary storage apparatus 10, etc., a storing process is started. The banknote winding roller 210 and the winding film rollers 220a and 220b are rotated in the storage direction of a banknote, and the protrusion amount calculation part 120 is started. On the other hand, when the banknote release instruction by an operator etc. is detected, the position control part 140 is started, and the banknote winding roller 210 and the winding film rollers 220a and 220b are rotated in the discharge direction of a banknote.

The correction information storage unit 160 stores the correction information. Details of the correction information will be described later.

Next, operation | movement of the banknote temporary storage apparatus 10 is demonstrated. In the following description, it is assumed that the storage instructions and the discharge instructions are received to start respective processes. In addition, whether to center the banknote in the centering area in advance or to center the banknote in the center of the centering area (the transport path center) may be selected by the correction amount selecting unit 110. In addition, the size of a banknote shall necessarily be smaller than the width of a centering area | region.

In the control part 100, when the storing and discharging control part 150 receives an instruction from an operator or a higher program, it determines whether the instruction is a storing process of a banknote or a discharge process. When the instruction | indication is a storage instruction | indication, the storage-emission control part 150 rotates the rollers 320a and 320b of the conveyance path 310 to a storage direction of a banknote. The storage direction of a banknote means the direction which draws out the films 230a and 230b from the winding film rollers 220a and 220b, and winds the banknote winding roller 210. The inserted banknote moves in the storage direction toward the temporary stacker 200 in the conveying path 310. In addition, rotation can also be started when it detects that a banknote was discharged from the entrance 1g of the banknote temporary storage device 10, the banknote position detection sensor 330, or a banknote inlet. The banknote position detection sensor 330 detects the position of a banknote passing through and notifies the control part 100.

In the control part 100, the protrusion amount calculation part 120 calculates the protrusion amount of a banknote.

7 is a diagram illustrating the amount of protrusion detected by the amount of protrusion calculation unit. The same numbers as in Figs. 3 and 4 are given the same numbers. In addition, it is assumed that X1 represents the left end of the centering region w1, X2 represents the right end, and Xc represents the position coordinate of the center.

Here, the protrusion amount is a distance between the leftmost point of the banknote and the left end X1 of the centering region w1 in the left direction. In addition, as a direction of protrusion amount, when the position of the leftmost point of a banknote is located to the left rather than the left end X1 of a centering area | region, let it be a positive direction (+). On the contrary, when it exists in the right side (in centering area | region) rather than the left end of a centering area | region, it is set to the minus direction (-). Similarly, the distance between the rightmost point of the banknote and the right end X2 of the centering region w1 is defined as the amount of protrusion. Moreover, when the rightmost point of a banknote is to the right rather than the right end of a centering area | region, it is set as the positive direction (+), and when it is to the left side, it is set as the negative direction (-). Therefore, when one side of a banknote protrudes out of a centering area | region, the direction of the protrusion amount is represented by "+". If it is in a centering area | region, the direction of the protrusion amount is represented by "-".

At the time of storing, a banknote is blown into banknote winding roller 210 in order of banknotes p1, p2, p3, p4. In the case of the banknote p1, based on the position detected by the banknote position detection sensor 330, the distance "a1" of the leftmost point of a banknote and the left end X1 of the centering area | region w1 about the left direction, and centering The amount of protrusion "-" in the region can be obtained. About the right direction, the distance "a2" of the rightmost point of a banknote and the right end X2 of the centering area | region w1, and the protrusion amount of "+" outside the centering area can be obtained. Hereinafter, the protrusion amount is described as "-a1" and "+ a2" combining the magnitude | size of the protrusion amount and a direction.

Similar to the banknote p1, in the protrusion amount of the banknote p2, the left direction is "-b1" and the right direction is "+ b2". It shows that the right direction protrudes from the centering area. In the protrusion amount of the banknote p3, the left direction is "+ c1", and the right direction is "-c2". It shows that the left direction protrudes more than the centering area. In the protrusion amount of the banknote p4, the left direction is "-d1", and the right direction is "-d2". Banknote p4 represents what is in the centering area. The amount of protrusion calculated in this way is registered in the correction information corresponding to the storing order of the bill.

Subsequently, the correction amount calculating unit 130 calculates the centering correction amount and the temporary stacker movement amount based on the protrusion amount calculated by the protrusion amount calculating unit 120.

When centering a banknote in a centering area | region, at the time of banknote discharge, the banknote winding roller 210 is shifted | deviated at least by the magnitude | size of protrusion amount in the reverse direction to the direction which protruded. Therefore, the correction amount calculation part 130 determines with respect to each banknote as a centering object, when there exists "+" in the protrusion amount of either direction. As the amount of centering correction, the amount of protrusion on the protruding side (the amount of protrusion in which the direction is +) is set. In addition, as a direction to which the temporary stacker 200 is moved, when the left direction is set to "-" and the right direction is set to "+", and it protrudes out from the left end X1 of the centering area | region w1, it is "+" and the right end. When it protrudes out from (X2), it is set as "-". For example, with respect to the banknote p1, since the right direction is "+ a2" and protrudes outward from the right end X2 of the centering area w1, the centering correction amount is "a2" and the moving direction of the temporary stacker 200 is "-". It becomes. The temporary stacker movement amount is calculated based on the centering correction amount thus obtained and the movement direction of the temporary stacker 200. The temporary stacker movement amount is information indicating a moving direction and a distance of moving the temporary stacker 200 for centering. Specifically, the movement direction is added to the centering correction amount and set. In the case of banknote p1, the temporary stacker movement amount which combined the centering correction amount "a2" and the movement direction "-" becomes "-a2". This indicates that the temporary stacker 200 is moved to a position shifted by the distance a2 from the center point to the left direction for the centering of the banknote p1.

Similarly, about the banknote p2, since the right end X2 side of the centering area | region w1 protrudes, the centering correction amount is "b2", the movement direction of the temporary stacker 200 is "-", and the temporary stacker movement amount is " -b2 ". Since the left end X1 side of the centering area | region w1 protrudes about the banknote p3, the centering correction amount is "c1", the movement direction of the temporary stacker 200 is "+", and the temporary stacker movement amount is "+ c1". It becomes. In the case of the banknote p4, the protruding amounts are both "-" and are not corrected because they do not protrude from the centering region w1. Therefore, the correction amount is O.

Next, the case where centering a banknote in the center of a conveyance path is demonstrated. Since the doorway 1g is located in front of the conveyance path 310, if centering can be carried out at the center of the conveyance path 310, it will be discharged so that the center of a banknote may become the center of the entrance 1g.

8 is a diagram illustrating a case where the banknote is centered in the center of the conveyance path. When centering a banknote in the center of the conveyance path 310, what is necessary is just to make the magnitude | size of the right direction and the left direction empty area in the centering area | region at the time of centering a banknote become the same. Here, the empty area at the time of putting each banknote in the centering area is equal to the amount of protrusions represented by "+" from the empty area (the area where no banknote exists) of the current centering area w1 indicated by "-". It is the size of subtracting the area. In the example of banknote p2 of FIG. 8, the blank area | region when banknote p2 exists in centering area is the value which subtracted protrusion amount "b2" which protruded out of centering area w1 from protrusion amount "b1" which protruded in centering area. Becomes In this case, since "+" and "-" are set according to a direction, what is necessary is just to add each other as it is. For example, the absolute value of "-b1 + b2" which added "-b1" of the left direction and "+ b2" of the right direction turns into an empty area. In the case of centering in the center of the conveyance path 310, in addition to the amount of protrusion on the protruding side ("b2" in the case of banknote p2), the distance from the end of the centering area is equal to half of the empty area calculated above ( In the case of banknote p2, the stacker 200 may be temporarily moved until it becomes | -b1 + b2 | / 2). Since the movement direction of the temporary stacker 200 is reverse to the direction of the protrusion amount, when the protrusion amount on the X1 side of the left end is "+", when the protrusion amount on the X2 side of the right end is "+", It becomes "-". In the example of banknote p2, it becomes "-". In addition, in the moving direction of the temporary stacker 200, setting the left direction to "-" and the right direction to "+" is the same as that of the centering in the centering area. As mentioned above, in the case of banknote p2, the centering correction amount is "b2 + | -b1 + b2 | / 2", and the temporary stacker movement direction becomes "-". In addition, the temporary stacker movement amount is calculated. Since the temporary stacker movement amount is the moving direction of the temporary stacker 200 and the amount of centering correction from the center point, the temporary stacker movement amount is "-b2- | -b1 + b2 | / 2".

Similarly, the centering correction amount of the banknote p1 is "a2 + | -a1 + a2 | / 2", the temporary stacker movement direction is "-", and the temporary stacker movement amount is "-a2- | -a1 + a2 | / 2)" . The centering correction amount of the banknote p3 is "c1 + | c1-c2 | / 2", the temporary stacker movement direction is "+", and the temporary stacker movement amount is "c1 + | c1-c2 | / 2)".

In addition, about banknote p4, both of protrusion amount are "-", and an empty area becomes the absolute value of d1 and d2. The centering correction amount is "d1- | d1 + d2 | / 2", the temporary stacker movement direction is "+", and the temporary stacker movement amount is "d1- | d1 + d2 | / 2". In addition, the case where the protrusion amount is "-" in both directions or "-" on one side and "O" on the other side can be calculated in the same manner.

The centering correction amount, the temporary stacker movement direction, and the temporary stacker movement amount calculated in this way are registered in the correction information corresponding to the storing order of the bills.

9 is a diagram illustrating correction information when centering in a centering area.

The correction information (centering in the centering area) 1610 includes the banknote 1611, the storing order 1612, the ejecting order 1613, the amount of X1 line protrusion 1614, the amount of X2 line protrusion 1615, and the amount of centering correction 1616. ), Each information item of the temporary stacker movement amount 1617 is provided.

The banknote 1611 is identification information for identifying each banknote. A storing order 1612 is a storing order of bank notes, and shows the order of the bank notes taken in from the entrance 1g. The release order 1613 is an order when the bank notes are discharged, and is in the reverse order of the storing order. X1 line protrusion amount 1614 shows the protrusion amount with respect to the left end X1 of the centering area | region w1 which the protrusion amount calculation part 120 calculated. The X2 line protrusion amount 1615 is a protrusion amount with respect to the right end X2 of the centering region w1 calculated by the protrusion amount calculation unit 120. The centering correction amount 1616 is a correction amount of the centering calculated by the correction amount calculating unit 130. When centering in the centering area, the amount of protrusion on the side where the amount of protrusion becomes "+" is set. The temporary stacker movement amount 1617 is a movement amount of the temporary stacker 200 calculated by the correction amount calculation unit 130.

10 is a diagram showing correction information when centering on a conveyance path center.

The correction information (centering at the center of the transport path) 1620 includes the banknote 1621, the storing order 1622, the ejecting order 1622, the amount of X1 line protrusion 1624, the amount of X2 line protrusion 1625, and the amount of centering correction ( 1626, each information item of temporary stacker movement amount 1627.

The banknote 1621 is identification information for identifying each banknote. A storing order 1622 is a storing order of a banknote, and shows the order of the banknotes taken in from the entrance 1g. The release order 1623 is an order when the bank notes are discharged, and is in the reverse order to the storing order. X1 line protrusion amount 1624 shows the protrusion amount with respect to the left end X1 of the centering area | region w1 which the protrusion amount calculation part 120 calculated. The X2 line protrusion amount 1625 is a protrusion amount with respect to the right end X2 of the centering area w1 calculated by the protrusion amount calculation unit 120. The centering correction amount 1626 is the correction amount of the centering calculated by the correction amount calculating unit 130. The temporary stacker moving amount 1627 is a moving amount of the temporary stacker 200 calculated by the correction amount calculating unit 130.

At the time of discharge of a banknote, the position control part 140 reads the correction information regarding the banknote discharged, and controls a position.

11 is a diagram illustrating a position control process.

The position control part 140 moves the position of the temporary stacker 200, and discharges a banknote in the centering area | region of the conveyance path 310, before a banknote is discharged from the temporary stacker 200 to the conveyance path 310. As shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the case where it is designated to center in the centering area is demonstrated.

The position control unit 140 reads the correction information 1610 and processes it in the release order 1613. For example, since the value of the centering correction amount 1616 is "0", the position does not move in the banknote p4 of discharge order "1". The temporary stacker 200 discharges the banknote p4 to the conveyance path 310 in the original center position. Since the banknote p4 is in the centering area | region at the time of storing, it is discharge | released in the centering area | region of the conveyance path 310. As shown in FIG. The entrance / exit sensor 340 detects that banknote p4 was discharged | emitted to the conveyance path 310, and reads correction information 1610 of banknote p3 of the following discharge procedure "2". For the banknote p3, "+ c1" is set as the temporary stacker movement amount 1617 in the correction information 1610. The position control unit 140 instructs the motor 420 to drive so that the temporary stacker 200 moves "c1" in the "+" direction (right direction). Thereby, with the temporary stacker 200, the banknote winding roller 210 moves to the right direction by "c1". Thereby, banknote p3 is discharged | released in the state which moved "c1" to the right direction with respect to the conveyance path 310, and is discharged in the centering area | region of the conveyance path 310. As shown in FIG. Then, the position of the temporary stacker 200 is controlled by reading the temporary stacker movement amount 1617 according to the release order.

Similarly, in the case of centering on the center of the conveyance path, the correction information 1620 is read, and the temporary stacker movement amount 1627 is read in the release sequence 1623, and the temporary stacker 200 is moved before the bill is discharged. Let's do it.

In the bill temporary storage device 10 as described above, the centering correction amount and the storing order are stored for each sheet at the time of storing, and at the time of release, the temporary stacker 200 is based on the temporary stacker movement amount for each sheet from the data at the time of storing. ) Moves to release the bill.

Next, the processing procedure of the banknote processing method by the banknote temporary storage device 10 is demonstrated. When the storing and discharging control unit 150 of the control unit 100 receives the storing instruction or the discharge instruction, the storing and discharging control unit 150 starts the storing process or the discharging process according to the instruction. In a storing process, the storing process which accommodates the banknote put into the banknote temporary storage apparatus 10 in the temporary stacker 200 is started. Moreover, when the banknote release instruction | indication is received, the banknote discharged in the temporary stacker 200 is discharged | released from another temporary stacker 200 to another accommodating part, for example, a deposit and withdrawal part or a fixed safe part. The processing at the time of bill storage and the processing at the time of bill discharge will be described in detail.

12 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure at the time of bill receipt.

[Step S01] The storing and releasing control unit 150 starts the storing process, rotates the banknote winding roller 210 and the winding film rollers 220a and 220b in the temporary stacker 200 in the winding direction of the banknote, thereby storing processing. To start.

[Step S02] The protruding amount calculation unit 120 acquires the position of the banknote detected by the banknote position detection sensor 330.

[Step S03] The projection amount calculating unit 120 calculates the projection amount from the centering area of the banknote based on the position of the banknote detected in step S02. The left end of the centering area and the position of the leftmost point of the detected banknote are compared toward the travel direction of the banknote, and the distance is defined as the amount of protrusion in the left direction. Similarly, the right end of the centering area is compared with the position of the rightmost point of the detected banknote, and the distance is defined as the amount of protrusion in the right direction. The calculated amount of projection is stored in the correction information in correspondence with the storing order of the bank notes.

[Step S04] The correction amount calculating unit 130 determines whether "centering in the centering area" is selected as the centering process. When "centering in the centering area" is selected, the process proceeds to step S05. When "centering in the center of the conveyance path" is selected, the process proceeds to step S06.

[Step S05] The correction amount calculating unit 130 reads the amount of protrusion from the correction information when "centering in the centering area" is selected, and indicates that the amount of protrusion of the banknote protrudes outside the centering area. Is the amount of centering correction. Then, the temporary stacker movement amount is calculated by the procedure described with reference to FIG. 7, and the processing proceeds to step S07.

[Step S06] When "centering in the center of the conveyance path" is selected, the correction amount calculating unit 130 calculates an empty area of the centering area at the time of centering from the protrusion amount, and sets it as the centering correction amount. Then, the temporary stacker movement direction and the temporary stacker movement amount are calculated by the procedure described with reference to FIG. 8.

[Step S07] The correction amount calculating unit 130 registers the centering correction amount and the temporary stacker movement amount calculated by the respective calculation methods in the correction information 1610 and 1620 in correspondence with the storing order of the bills.

[Step S08]

The storage / release control section 150 determines the presence or absence of an instruction to stop the storage processing. If there is no stop instruction, the process returns to step S02 to process storing of the next bill. When the stop instruction is given, the process ends.

By carrying out the above-described processing procedure, the centering correction amount, the temporary stacker movement amount, etc. for centering each bill in relation to the storing order are registered at the time of storing the bill.

13 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure at the time of bill release.

[Step S11] The storing and releasing control unit 150 rotates the banknote winding roller 210 and the winding film rollers 220a and 220b in the temporary stacker 200 in the discharge direction of the banknote to start the banknote release process.

[Step S12] The position control unit 140 reads the correction information to determine whether or not there are bills stored therein. When there is a banknote stored, the process proceeds to step S13. If no bill is stored, the process ends.

[Step S13] When there is a banknote stored, the position control unit 140 reads the correction information of the banknote stored at the latest, that is, at the latest.

[Step S14] The position control unit 140 extracts the temporary stacker movement amount from the read correction information of the bill.

[Step S15] The position control unit 140 controls the motor 420 based on the temporary stacker movement amount read in step S14, and moves the temporary stacker 200. FIG.

[Step S16] The position control unit 140 registers and deletes the correction information of the target banknote after detecting that the banknote is released to the conveyance path 310 by the doorway sensor 340.

[Step S17] The position control unit 140 determines whether there is an instruction to stop the release. When the stop instruction is received, the process ends. When no stop instruction is received, the process returns to step S12 to release the next bill.

By executing the above-described processing procedure, upon release of the bill, the position of the temporary stacker 200 moves to release the bill in the centering area based on the correction information set when the bill is stored.

In the above description, the correction amount calculation unit 130 sets the temporary stacker movement direction, the temporary stacker movement amount, and the like regarding the movement of the temporary stacker 200 together with the centering correction amount. The movement amount calculation may be performed by the position control unit 140.

In addition, the temporary stacker 200 may be moved at the time of storing rather than at the time of discharge of a banknote. In this case, the position control part 140 moves the temporary stacker 200 before inserting a banknote between films based on the temporary stacker movement direction and the temporary stacker movement amount which the correction amount calculation part 130 calculated.

It is a figure which shows the case where centering is carried out at the time of banknote storing.

Banknote position detection sensor 330 detects the position of banknote p2, and protrusion amount calculation part 120 calculates protrusion amount "-b1" of the left direction, and protrusion amount "+ b2" of right direction. In addition, the calculation of the protrusion amount is made in the same manner as the procedure for calculating the protrusion amount described in FIG.

Next, the correction amount calculating unit 130 calculates the centering correction amount. Here, the case of centering in the centering area will be described. The correction amount calculating part 130 calculates the protrusion amount "+ b2" of the right direction which protruded from the centering area | region w1 as a centering correction amount. In the temporary stacker movement amount, the movement amount is the same as that of the centering correction amount, but the temporary stacker movement direction is reverse to the case where the position of the temporary stacker 200 is controlled at the time of discharge. That is, in order to wind the banknote p2 in the centering area of the banknote winding roller 210, the banknote winding roller 210 must be moved to the right direction. Therefore, the temporary stacker movement amount becomes "+ b2", and moves the temporary stacker 200 by the distance "b2" to the right direction. In this state, by winding the banknote p2, the banknote p2 is stored in the centering area of the banknote winding roller 210. In addition, when the position of the temporary stacker 200 at the time of storage is controlled, the position of the temporary stacker 200 at the time of discharge | release is fixed to the center.

15 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure in the case of centering at the time of bill receipt.

[Step S21] The storing and discharging control unit 150 determines whether the storing process or the discharging process is performed. When it determines with the storing process, the process proceeds to step S22. When it is determined that it is the release process, the process proceeds to step S28.

[Step S22] In the storing process, the storing and releasing control unit 150 starts the storing process, rotates the banknote winding roller 210 and the winding film rollers 220a and 220b in the storing direction, thereby storing the bill temporary storage device ( 10) It is determined whether a banknote has been put in. When it detects that banknote was thrown in, the protrusion amount calculation part 120 is started and a process is advanced to step S23. When the insertion of the banknote is not detected, the flow returns to step S21 and the process starts from the instruction confirmation processing.

[Step S23] When the input of the banknote is detected, the protrusion amount calculating unit 120 acquires the position of the banknote detected by the banknote position detection sensor 330.

[Step S24] The protrusion amount calculating unit 120 calculates the protrusion amount from the centering area of the banknote based on the position of the banknote detected in step S23. The left end of the centering area and the detected leftmost point of the banknote are compared in the traveling direction of the banknote, and the distance is defined as the amount of protrusion in the left direction. Similarly, the right end of the centering area is compared with the position of the rightmost point of the detected banknote, and the distance is defined as the amount of protrusion in the right direction. The calculated amount of projection is stored in the correction information corresponding to the storing order of the bill.

[Step S25] The correction amount calculating unit 130 calculates the centering correction amount based on the protrusion amount calculated in step S24. Then, the temporary stacker movement direction and the temporary stacker movement amount are calculated based on the centering correction amount. The method of calculating the centering correction amount and the temporary stacker movement amount is the same as in the storing processing shown in FIG. The temporary stacker movement direction is reverse to the storing process shown in FIG. That is, the temporary stacker moving direction when the banknote to be stored protrudes outside the right end of the centering region is in the right direction, and the temporary stacker moving direction when protruding outside the left end is in the left direction.

[Step S26] The position control unit 140 moves the temporary stacker 200 based on the temporary stacker movement amount calculated in step S25.

[Step S27] The storing and releasing control unit 150 performs banknote storing processing. The temporary stacker movement amount is registered in the correction information 1610 and 1620 in correspondence with the storing order of the bill. The entrance / exit sensor 340 confirms that the banknote is sandwiched between the films 230, and returns the process to step S21.

[Step S28] In the discharge process, the storage / release control section 150 reads the correction information 1610 and 1620 to determine whether or not the stored banknote is present. If there is a bill, the process proceeds to step S29. When there is no banknote, the flow returns to step S21 to perform from the instruction confirmation processing.

[Step S29] The storing and releasing control unit 150 releases the banknote based on the correction information 1610 and 1620. The position of the temporary stacker 200 at this time is fixed at the center. And when it detects that banknote was discharged | emitted by the doorway sensor 340, the registration of the banknote is deleted from correction information 1610, 1620.

By executing the above-described processing procedure, the stacker 200 is temporarily moved at the time of storing to center the banknote, and the banknote is stored in the centering area of the banknote winding roller 210. When released, it is released as it is.

In addition, the above-described processing functions can be realized by a computer. In that case, a program is described which describes the processing contents of the functions that should be present in the paper sheet processing apparatus. By executing the program on a computer, the above processing function is realized on a computer. The program describing the processing contents can be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium.

In the case of distributing a program, portable recording media such as a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) and a CD-R0M (Compact Disc Read Only Memory) on which the program is recorded are sold. The program can also be stored in a storage device of the server computer, and the program can be transferred from the server computer to another computer via a network.

The computer executing the program stores, for example, a program recorded on a portable recording medium or a program transmitted from a server computer in its own storage device. Then, the computer reads the program from its own storage device and executes the process according to the program.
