Two sensors are arrange | positioned in the middle of the conveyance path, and it is set as the structure which distinguishes a conveyance abnormality.

Unlike the simple sensor of the structure which only detects the passage of a banknote, in order to distinguish the abnormality of conveyance of a banknote, the sensor of a high precision must be used in combination with conveyance mechanisms, such as a conveyance belt, and therefore the structure of each safe Not only is this large scale and expensive, but there is a problem that the size is increased in order to install a conveying path therein.

In order to solve the said subject, the paper sheet handling apparatus of this invention is a conveyance path which consists of a discharge part which throws in or discharges a paper sheet, the some conveyance path which conveys the paper sheet, and the banknote storage arrange | positioned below the conveyance path. A plurality of banknote holders which are detachably mounted to the sieve housing part and the banknote housing part, and which incorporate a defect collecting part for collecting defective sheets together with an accommodating part accommodating a plurality of kinds of sheets of paper for each type; The paper sheet feeding means which extracts the paper sheet from the desired banknote accommodating body among the plurality of banknote accommodating units, and when the paper sheet is fed out by the paper sheet feeding means, the paper sheet containing the paper sheet is plural. It is provided in banknote storing body storage means which memorizes which banknote storing body among the banknote storing bodies of said banknote, and predetermined 1 place along the said conveyance path, On the basis of the memory of the bill acceptor storage means, the handbook discrimination means for discriminating whether or not the paper sheet is defective and the faulty paper sheet determined that the defect is defective when it is determined that the sheet is defective. It has a faulty paper sheet collection means which collect | recovers the said fault collection part of the said banknote accommodating body in which the defective paper sheet was extracted.

In this paper sheet handling apparatus, each sheet sheet storage means for storing the initial sheet of paper sheets, the total number of additional sheets of paper sheets, the total number of feeding sheets, and the total number of sheets of bad paper sheets, and the respective sheets of paper sheets. On the basis of the memory of the number storage means, it is configured to further include a current total number of sheets of paper number calculation means for calculating the total number of sheets of paper sheets currently held for each of the plurality of banknote accommodating bodies. In addition, the defective paper sheet is, for example, a paper sheet including at least one of being sent out in an overlapping state, meandering, folding, tearing, and contaminant adhesion.

The paper sheet handling apparatus of the present invention is sent out in a superimposed state, for example, by an unevenness discriminating means installed at one location along the main transport path, and is disbursed to the customer by meandering, folding chain, heavy contaminant adhesion, and the like. Since the defective banknote which is considered to be inadequate is collect | recovered in the defective collection part of the banknote storage body which extracted the defective banknote, a banknote storage body can be made into the simple structure which a conveyance belt, a some discrimination sensor, etc. are not arrange | positioned, It is light and easy to handle, and exhibits the effect that the efficiency of the attachment / detachment operation | work of a banknote storage body to a main body apparatus improves.

In addition, since the current total number of sheets of paper per sheet is always calculated, it is possible to immediately determine the number of sheets of paper sheets housed in the bill holder taken out from the main body device, thereby eliminating the trouble of closely inspecting and checking separately. We show effect that efficiency of work improves.

This light-receiving amount is converted into an electrical signal, output as the strength of an electrical signal, and the presence or absence (during passage and remaining) of a banknote is detected by this electrical signal.

The discriminating unit 9 optically and magnetically discriminates banknotes such as authenticity of banknotes, damage, pollutants, folded, cracks, front and back. Optically, optical line sensors and magnetically magnetic line sensors are used.

Here, the basic operation of the paper sheet handling apparatus 1 of this example will be described again with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

First, at the time of the deposit transaction, after the deposit transaction is selected by the customer at the customer operating unit 2, the card is inserted into the card insertion outlet 5, and the validity of the inserted card is confirmed, and then the banknote input and ejection unit 3 Payment of bill to) becomes possible.

In this deposit, the shutter of the banknote insertion taking-out part 3 is opened (FIG. 1 is a state when a shutter is closed), and it becomes a state which can insert a banknote into the banknote input taking-out part 3 by a customer. When a customer inserts a bill into the bill input and ejection unit 3 and notifies the main body control unit 22 by touching the predetermined button displayed on the display screen of the customer operation unit 2 that the input is finished, the shutter Is closed.

Then, the banknote currently thrown into the banknote input taking-out part 3 is conveyed along the conveyance path in the order shown by arrow a, h, b, and c, and is carried in to the discrimination part 9 here. Banknotes are discriminated while passing through the discriminating unit 9. That is, differentiation of the state of a banknote, such as the authenticity of a banknote, a damage situation, a contaminant situation, a folded state, a gold type, the front and back, etc., is performed.

Banknotes having no abnormality in the discrimination result are conveyed along the conveying path in the order indicated by the arrows d and e, and are once loaded into the primary holding part 7. And if a discrimination process is complete | finished and even if one piece has an abnormality in a discrimination result, it is conveyed from the primary holding part 7 along the conveyance path in the order shown by arrow f, h, b, c, d, w, The total amount of the inserted banknotes is returned to the banknote-injection taking-out part 3. In addition, at this time, a banknote is conveyed to the banknote input taking-out part 3 without passing through the discriminating part 9.

In addition, when a discrimination process is complete | finished and there is no abnormality in a 1-sheet discrimination result, it is conveyed along the conveyance path from the primary holding part 7 in the order shown by arrow f, h, b. Here, when the banknote being conveyed is a 5000 yen or 2000 yen banknote, it is a recycling ineligible ticket which cannot be used as a recycled banknote to be paid to the next customer, so for example, in the case of a 5000 yen banknote, it is an ineligible ticket from the conveyance path of arrow n. It is accommodated in the accommodating part 11.

For example, in the case of a 2000 yen bill, it is accommodated in the ineligible ticket storage part 12 via the conveyance path shown by arrows n and o.

Note that although the bills stored in the ineligible ticket storage unit have been described as 2000 yen bills and 5000 yen bills, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is also possible to store 10,000 yen bills and set them in a timely manner according to the operation. .

In addition, when the banknotes conveyed along the conveyance path shown by arrows f, h, and b are the 10000 yen banknotes which are traded most, they are a banknote which can be used as a recycled banknote which is sent to a next customer, and arrow c, d, i The stacker A 18 is inserted into the stacker A via a transport path indicated by j and loaded.

In addition, when it turns out that the stacker A 18 is full of banknotes by the calculation of the banknote withdrawal by the main body control part 22, it is conveyed along the conveyance path image shown by the arrow k, and the next stacker B It is inserted into 18 and is loaded.

As an example, the stacker A 18 and B 18 have been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the stacker can be selected according to the operation.

In this example, the stacker A 18 and the stacker B 18 are used for stacking 10000 yen bills, and the stacker C 18 and stacker D 18 are used for stacking 1000 yen bills. (18) and the stacker F (18) serve as a spare stacker which is easy to put in and remove from the rear of the apparatus.

Inserting and stacking to the spare stacker is carried out to the stacker F 18 via the conveyance path shown by arrows n, o, p, and s, or via the conveyance path shown by arrows n, o, p, and t, 18) is loaded into the stack.

In the withdrawal transaction, after the withdrawal transaction is selected by the customer at the customer operation unit 2, the card is inserted into the card insertion outlet 5, and the customer operation unit 2 enters the encryption number from the display screen. And if the validity number of a proof number is confirmed, the banknote of the amount of money designated by the customer is sent out to the banknote input taking-out part 3 from any one of the 6 stackers 18 stackers.

When dispensing from the stacker A 18, it is dispensed to the banknote input taking-out part 3 via the conveyance path shown by arrows u, k, m, v, c, d, w. Stacker B (18), C (18), and D (18) are also dispensed to the banknote insertion taking-out part (3) via the same transport path.

In addition, when dispensing from the preliminary stacker E18, it is dispensing to the banknote input taking-out part 3 through the conveyance path shown by the arrow y, z, v, c, d, w. In the case of the preliminary stacker F 18, it is also sent out to the banknote input taking-out part 3 via the same conveyance path.

Here, the processing method in the case where there is a bill (hereinafter referred to as an incompatible bill) that is unsuitable for dispensing in a bill drawn from the stacker 18, which is the feature of the sheet handling apparatus 1 of the present example, will be described.

Usually, although the stacker will have previously loaded only the banknotes of good quality, it may generate | occur | produce in the superimposed state at the time of feeding. Moreover, when there exists a part etc. which are folded in the corner of a banknote, it sends out continuously. Since neither can be sent to the banknote input-out part 3, it turns into a noncompliant banknote.

In addition, if there is an overlook at the time of stacking the banknotes to the stacker 18, a part of a banknote may be torn, the thing which adhered to extreme contamination, etc. may be mixed in goods. Originally, these will have to be exchanged for good products in the bank in advance, and they will become unsuitable bills because they cannot be sent out to customers as they are.

In the present embodiment, all the bills drawn from the six stackers 18 are discriminated whether or not they are unsuitable bills by the discriminating unit 9 provided at one place in the main transport path 10. In the same manner, it is sent out to the banknote insertion taking-out part 3 and returns to the reject part 19 of the stacker 18 which pulled out the unsuitable banknote as mentioned later if it is a noncompliant banknote.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the discrimination of the authenticity determination of banknotes by the discriminating unit 9 and the conveyance processing for the banknotes performed by the main transport path 10 based on the discrimination result. In addition, the authenticity determination used here does not determine whether it is a waste or a fake, but is used by the meaning which determines the above-mentioned suitable banknote or an unsuitable banknote.

FIG. 6 is a view of FIG. 2, and in order to clearly explain the process of FIG. 5, the conveyance path related to the process of FIG. 5 is indicated by a dashed line together with the arrow shown in FIG. 2.

In Fig. 5, as described above, after the withdrawal transaction is selected in the customer operation unit 2, a card is inserted into the card insertion and retrieval opening 5, and the customer operation unit 2 enters the encryption number from the display screen, and the card and If the validity of the proof number is confirmed, the withdrawal amount is specified by the customer.

It is assumed by the customer that the sum of the withdrawal amounts was, for example, X sheets for 10,000 yen bills and Y sheets for 1000 yen bills. As mentioned above, in this example, the 10000 yen bill is stacked on the stacker A 18 and the stacker B 18, and the 1000 yen bill is stacked on the stacker C 18 and the stacker D 18.

Accordingly, in FIG. 5, first, withdrawal of X bills from the stacker A 18 and withdrawal of Y bills from the stacker C 18 are instructed from the main body control unit 22 to the transport control unit 30 (step). S1).

The conveyance control part 30 controls the main conveyance path 10, and withdraws (feeds) one banknote from the stacker A 18 (step S2). Thereby, one banknote drawn out from the stacker A 18 is carried into the discriminating part 9 via the conveyance path shown by arrows u, k, m, v, c.

In the discriminating unit 9, the authenticity determination described above is performed (step S3). The authenticity judgment in this discriminating unit 9 includes discrimination of the state of the bank note and the front and back of the banknote, in addition to being sent out in the overlapped state, successively sent out, torn, contaminants, and the like. If different types of paper are used, of course, they become unsuitable banknotes, but when the state of front and back is not correct, the corrected state is corrected to a suitable bill.

When the result of the authenticity determination in the discriminating unit 9 is a non-compliant bill (S3 is "no"), the bill passes through the conveying paths indicated by arrows d, i, and x, and the stacker A (18) which fed the non-compliant bill. It is conveyed to the reject part 19 of () (step S6).

In the reject portion 19 of the stacker A 18, the gate magnet corresponding to the reject portion 19 is driven by the gate magnet portion 42 at the time when the result of the authenticity determination becomes an invalid bill. The transfer path switcher 15 rotates upward by the driving of the gate magnet.

Thereby, the non-compliant banknote conveyed to the reject part 19 of the stacker A 18 is accommodated (recovered) in the reject part 19. As shown in FIG.

Here, the banknote passage detection sensor 13 of the conveyance path shown by the arrow x corresponding to the reject part 19 of the stacker A 18 is driven by the sensor output detection part 8 simultaneously with the drive of a gate magnet, and is in a standby state. It is detected that the storing of the unsuitable banknote in the reject portion 19 is completed (step S7).

Thus, in this example, when the result of the authenticity determination in the discriminating part 9 was a non-compliant banknote, the rejected banknote was the reject part of the original stacker 18 which extracted (withdrawn) the non-compliant banknote. 19 is returned to the same stacker which withdrew the unsuitable banknote.

Waiting for the completion of storing (recovering) of the non-compliant banknote in the reject unit 19, one banknote added from the stacker A 18 is fed out (step S8). Thereby, the added new banknote replacing the unsuitable banknote is carried into the discriminating part 9 via the conveyance path similar to the above-mentioned.

Thus, when the result of the authenticity determination in the discriminating part 9 is a suitable banknote (S3 is "Yes"), the banknote is conveyed to the banknote injection taking-out part 3 via the conveyance path shown by arrows d and w. (Step S4).

Then, it is determined whether or not the number of banknotes withdrawn from the stacker A 18 has reached the X sheet designated in step S1 (step S5). The main body control unit 22 always receives the detailed notification of the conveyance from the conveyance control unit 30, and the details of the conveyed conveyance are stored (recorded and stored) in the RAM 24 or the HD device 25.

The details of this conveyance include the recording of the initial stacking number of paper-money bills per stacker 18, the number of draws (withdrawals), the number of inserts (deposits), and the number of collections of unsuitable bills.

The main body control unit 22 reads the details of the transfer stored in the RAM 24 or the HD device 25 and determines whether or not the number of banknotes withdrawn from the stacker A 18 has reached X sheets. . And when the number of banknotes does not reach X sheets (S5 is "no"), the process of step S8, S3, S4, S5 (or step S8, S3, S6, S7, S8) is repeated.

And when it is judged that the number of the banknotes withdrawn from the stacker A (18) reached X sheets (S5 is YES), next, by the process which added step S9-S12, S15, or step S13, S14, Withdrawal processing of Y-sheet 1000 yen bills from Stacker C (18).

The processing of steps S9 to S15 differs only in the kind of money withdrawal and the stacker, and is the same as the processing of steps S2 to S8 described above. Moreover, when a nonconforming banknote has arisen, the conveyance path switcher 15 corresponding to the storing reject part 19 rotates upwards, and respond | corresponds to the reject part 19 of the stacker A 18 of the right end. The conveying path switcher 15 rotates downward.

Then, when the withdrawal of the Yen 1000 yen bill from the stacker C 18 is completed (S12 is YES), the shutter of the banknote input and take out part 3 is opened (step S16). As a result, the customer can receive the desired type and amount of money designated and input from the paper money input and take out unit 3.

In addition, although the example of withdrawing money from the stacker A 18 and the stacker C 18 was demonstrated, the combination of two stackers 18 is arbitrary, It is not limited to two pieces, The number of uses of the stacker 18 is also arbitrary. .

When there is one stacker 18 used for withdrawal, the processing of steps S9 to S15 in FIG. 5 is excluded. In addition, when there are three or more stackers 18 used for withdrawal, the same process as step S2-S8 is added to the rear end of step S12 of FIG.

Thus, according to this invention, the discrimination part 9 provided only in one place along the main conveyance path 10 WHEREIN: The authenticity of all the banknotes conveyed from six stackers 18 is judged, and the banknote which is unsuitable for dispensing is discriminated. When it does, the unsuitable banknote is returned to the reject unit 19 of the stacker 18 which has dispensed the unsuitable banknote.

When the bank clerk takes out the stacker 18 from the sheet | leaf handling apparatus 1 for a maintenance work, and operates the maintenance panel which is not shown in figure which was arrange | positioned behind the main body apparatus, the main body control part 22 will supply RAM (24). ), Or the record of the total number of banknotes currently held by each stacker is transferred to the FD apparatus 26 from the detailed data of the conveyance stored in the HD apparatus 25. This recording can also be displayed on the display device of the maintenance operation panel.

The bank clerk can immediately confirm the number of banknotes accommodated in the stacker taken out from the main body apparatus by looking at the record of the total number of banknotes currently held. As a result, the bank clerk examines separately and saves the trouble of confirming the number of bills, thereby improving the efficiency of the checking operation.

In addition, the discriminating unit is provided in only one place along the main conveyance path, and there is no bill discrimination mechanism for each stacker, and the stacker is equipped with only a simple conveying mechanism consisting only of rollers, thereby achieving a cheaper, lighter, and easier handling stacker. It becomes possible to provide the sheet handling apparatus which is effective for the efficiency improvement of the desorption operation to the main body apparatus of a banker in a maintenance work.
