The CPU 210 controls the paper money depositing and withdrawing unit 250, the banknote determining unit 260, the banknote temporary storage bank 270, the counterfeit banknote storage 272, the forgotten retrieval and recovery library 274, the banknote collection and storage library 276, the recycling bank 278, and the banknote transportation. The operations of the devices 301 to 342 and the switching gates 401 to 410. The memory unit 220 stores a bill continuous feed control program 222, a bill determination program 224, a conveyance speed acquisition program 226, a bill arrival time prediction program 228, a bill transport control program 230, and a switching gate control program 232.

The banknote continuous delivery control program 222 stops the continuous execution of the banknotes from the banknote withdrawal unit 250, the banknote temporary storage 270, and the reuse library 278, for example, when the detection speed of the banknote is slowed down. Control the delivery of banknotes. The banknote discrimination program 224 performs the discrimination of the authenticity of the banknote and the denomination by using the data of the banknote obtained by the banknote determination unit 260 from the banknote. The conveyance speed acquisition program 226 obtains the conveyance speed of the banknote by using the distance between the time when the banknote recorded in the memory unit 220 reaches the sensor described later and the sensor previously stored in the memory unit 220. The banknote arrival time prediction program 228 uses the time to reach a certain sensor to predict the time to reach the next sensor. In general, in the case of determining the speed at which the banknotes are transported, the banknotes must pass through the sensors at two locations. However, it is necessary to advance to the next sensor within a predetermined time from the time when the banknote passes through a certain sensor, and it is possible to check that the speed of the banknote is slowed down even if the speed of the banknote is not known. The bill transport control program 230 controls the operations of the bill transport device 301 to the bill transport device 342. For example, in the case where it is checked that the transport speed of the bill is slowed down, it is controlled to reverse the direction of rotation of the predetermined bill transport device. The switching control program 232 controls the switching gates 401 to 410 to assign which banknotes have been transported to which direction.

In this case, the general operation at the time of deposit and withdrawal of the ATM will be described, and the control of the banknotes of the present embodiment will be described later.

Action when depositing:

When the user completes the instruction to start the deposit on the touch panel 120, the main body control unit 100 opens the door of the bill depositing and withdrawing unit 250, and waits until the bill is put into the bill depositing and withdrawing unit 250 (step S100). The CPU 210 receives an instruction from the main body control unit 100, and switches the switching gates 401 and 402 to the banknotes, and the banknotes are transported from the banknote depositing and dispensing unit 250 to the banknote determining unit 260, and drives the banknote transporting devices 301 to 303 to banknotes. The banknote determination unit 260 is sent to the banknote determination unit 260, and the banknote determination unit 260 acquires the banknote information to determine the authenticity and denomination of the banknote (step S110). The CPU 210 switches the switching gate 403 to record the amount of the denomination in the memory unit 220 when the banknote is a genuine banknote, and the banknote is transported to the banknote temporary storage bank 270 to drive the banknote transporting device 304, 305. The banknotes are transported to the banknote temporary storage 270. The CPU 210 switches the switching gates 403, 405 so that when the banknotes are counterfeit, the banknotes are transported to the counterfeit banknote storage 272, and the banknote transporting means 304, 308, 309 are driven to transport the banknotes to the counterfeit banknote storage 272. (Step S120).

The main body control unit 100 displays the total amount of the denomination of the deposited banknotes on the touch panel 120 (step S130), and waits until the user inputs an instruction. When the main body control unit 100 checks the user's instruction to continue the input of the deposit (step S140: Yes), the banknote processing unit 200 executes the transport of the banknotes to the banknote collection library 276 and the reuse library 278 (steps). S150). Specifically, the CPU 210 receives an instruction from the main body control unit 100, switches the switching gate 403 to the banknote conveyance to the banknote determination unit 260, drives the banknote transfer devices 304 and 305, and transports the banknote to the banknote discrimination unit 260. . The CPU 210 acquires the data of the banknote by the banknote discrimination unit, and reconfirms the denomination of the banknote. The CPU 210 determines to transfer the banknotes to any of the banknote collection library 276 and the reuse banks 278a to 278 based on the denomination of the paper yarn, thereby switching the switching gates 402, 401, 406 to 410. The CPU 210 drives the bill transport devices 303, 302, 312 to 322 to transport the bills to the determined destination.

When the main body control unit 100 checks the input of the user's cancellation of the deposit (step S140: No), the banknote processing unit 200 executes the transfer of the banknotes to the banknote depositing and withdrawing unit 250 (step S160). Refund the banknote to the user. Specifically, the CPU 210 receives an instruction from the main body control unit 100 to switch the switching gates 403 and 404 so that the bills are transported to the bill depositing and withdrawing unit 250, drive the bill transporting devices 305 to 307, and transport the bills to the paper. The deposit and withdrawal unit 250.

Action when withdrawing money:

When the user instructs the withdrawal on the touch panel 120 (step S200), the main body control unit 100 checks this and executes the transfer of the banknotes to the banknote depositing and dispensing unit 250 to the banknote processing unit 200.

When the CPU 210 receives the instruction from the main body control unit 100, the switching gates 406 to 410, 401, and 402 can be switched to determine which of the reusing libraries 278a to e to withdraw the banknotes, and the banknotes are received from the predetermined reusing libraries 278a to 278. The shipment is carried to the banknote discrimination unit 260. The CPU 210 drives the banknote transport devices 318 to 322, 312 to 316, 302, and 303, and transports the banknotes to the banknote discrimination unit 260 to determine the denomination (step S210). In the case where the banknote denomination is correct (step S220: Yes), the CPU 210 switches the switching gates 403, 404 to the banknotes being transported to the banknote depositing and withdrawing section, and drives the banknote transporting means 304, 306, 307, The banknotes are transported to the banknote depositing and withdrawing section 250 (step S230). The CPU 210 carries all the withdrawal banknotes to the banknote depositing and withdrawing section 250, and allows the user to take out the banknotes. In the case where the denomination of the banknote is not correct (step S220: Yes), the CPU 210 switches the switching gate 403 so that the banknote is transported to the banknote temporary storage 270, and drives the banknote transporting device 304, 305 to banknote It is transported to the banknote temporary storage 270. When the user completes the withdrawal, the main body control unit 100 transports the banknotes that have been transported to the banknote temporary storage 270 to the banknote collection library 276 and the reuse library 278 (reuse libraries 278a to e) (step S240). . Since the operation and the banknotes of the banknote temporary storage 270 are carried to the banknote collection storage 276 and the reuse bank 278 at the time of deposit, the description is omitted.

The sensor is described by taking the banknote depositing and dispensing section 250 to the banknote determining section 260 as an example. Fig. 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining in detail between the banknote depositing and withdrawing section 250 to the banknote determining section 260. In the present embodiment, between the banknote depositing and dispensing section 250 to the banknote determining section 260, the banknote transport path 350 is formed via the banknote transport apparatuses 301 to 303, and the sensor 501 is disposed along the banknote transport path 350. ~ 503. The sensors 501 to 503 are configured by the light-emitting elements 501a to 503a and the light-receiving elements 501b to 503b, respectively. In the present embodiment, the sensors 501 to 503 are transmission type sensors in which the light-emitting elements 501a to 503a and the light-receiving elements 501b to 503b are disposed via the banknote transport path 350. However, the light-emitting elements 501a to 501a may be used. The 503a and the light receiving elements 501b to 503b are disposed on the same side of the banknote transport path as the reflection type sensor. Since the banknote is shielded between the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element, thereby changing the value of the signal from the light-receiving element, the CPU 210 reads the value of the signal from the light-receiving element to check the passage of the banknote. In the present embodiment, although there are three sensors between the banknote depositing and withdrawing section 250 to the banknote determining section 260, the number is not limited to three, and may be different.

The paper bank depositing and dispensing section 250 to the banknote determining section 260 will be described as an example, and the control of the banknotes in the operation at the time of deposit will be described in detail. Fig. 8 is a flow chart showing the conveyance control of the banknote. When the banknotes are deposited, the banknotes are sent to the banknote transport path 350 one by one from the banknote depositing and withdrawing section 250. Since the banknote is transported by the banknote transport device 301, reaching the position of the sensor 501, the value of the signal from the sensor 501 is changed, so the CPU 210 checks that the banknote has reached the sensor 501 (step S300). The CPU 210 records the time t1 at which the banknote reaches the sensor 510 in the storage unit 220 (step S305). The banknotes are transported forward by the banknote transport devices 301, 302. Since the banknote reaches the position of the sensor 502, the value of the signal from the sensor 502 is changed, so the CPU 210 checks that the banknote has reached the sensor 502 (step S310). The CPU 210 records the time t2 at which the banknote reaches the sensor 502 in the storage unit 220 (step S315).

Since the distance between the sensor 501 and the sensor 502 is previously stored in the memory unit 220, the CPU 210 can be reached by the distance between the sensor 501 and the sensor 502 and the time t1 and arrival of the banknote arrival sensor 501. The difference in time t2 of the sensor 502 is used to determine the transport speed of the banknote (step S320). When the obtained transport speed is less than a predetermined value determined in advance (step S325: Yes), the CPU 210 stops the continuous transfer of the bill from the bill depositing and withdrawing unit 250, and rotates the bill transporter 301 in the reverse direction. Banknotes that have been continuously sent out (hereinafter referred to as "post-banknotes". Further, in this case, the banknotes with a slower transfer speed are referred to as "preemptive banknotes".) The banknote depositing and withdrawing section 250 is retrograde. (Step S330).

The banknotes are transported forward by the banknote transport devices 302, 303. Since the banknote reaches the position of the sensor 503, the value of the signal from the sensor 503 is changed, so the CPU 210 checks that the banknote has reached the sensor 503 (step S335). The CPU 210 records the time t3 at which the banknote reaches the sensor 503 in the storage unit 220 (step S340).

Since the distance between the sensor 502 and the sensor 503 is previously stored in the memory unit 220, the CPU 210 can be separated from the distance between the sensor 502 and the sensor 503 and the time t2 when the banknote reaches the sensor 502. The difference in time t3 from the sensor 503 is obtained, and the transport speed of the banknote is obtained (step S345). When the obtained transport speed is less than a predetermined value determined in advance (step S350: Yes), the CPU 210 stops the continuous transfer of the bill from the bill depositing and withdrawing unit 250, and causes the bill transporting devices 301 and 302 to rotate in the reverse direction. Then, the subsequent banknotes are retrograde toward the banknote depositing and withdrawing section 250 (step S330).

In the above description, the control between the banknote discrimination sections 260 is described, but the same applies to the banknote discrimination section 260 to the banknote temporary storage bank 270. The CPU 210 determines the conveyance speed of the banknote by using the difference between the distance between the adjacent two sensors and the arrival time, and checks the case where the conveyance speed is slower than the predetermined conveyance speed, and the conveyance speed is slow. The banknotes are rotated in the reverse direction with the banknote transport device located between the banknote depositing and withdrawing sections 250.

With this control, although the subsequent banknotes are returned to the banknote depositing and withdrawing section 250, the shipment of the preceding banknotes continues. When the preceding banknotes are stored in the storage destination, for example, the banknote temporary storage 270, the CPU 210 continuously sends the banknotes from the banknote depositing and dispensing section 250, and rotates the banknote transport apparatus in the normal direction. Since the first banknotes are stored, there is no overlap. Furthermore, at this time, it is also possible to prevent all the banknotes in the subsequent line from returning to the banknote depositing and withdrawing section 250. The subsequent operations are the same as those described above. In the case where the preceding banknote is not stored in the banknote temporary storage 270 within a predetermined time, the CPU 210 issues an alarm to the contractor of the financial institution, and requests the repair of the ATM 10. Although it is difficult to repair due to clogging of the overlap of the banknotes and the state of clogging, in the present embodiment, since the preceding banknotes are transported toward the front, the banknotes of the latter are transported toward the rear, so It will be blocked due to the overlap of banknotes. Therefore, the contractor can easily repair the ATM10.

The confirmation of the conveyance speed is performed for all the banknotes continuously fed from the banknote depositing and withdrawing section 250. For example, in the case where it is checked that the transport speed of the third banknote (preemptive banknote) that has been continuously fed is slow, the CPU 210 controls the paper to arrive at the fourth banknote (post banknote) that has been continuously fed. The bill transport device and the bill transport device closer to the bill depositing and withdrawing portion 250 side are rotated in the reverse direction.

The above description is directed to the case where the banknote depositing and dispensing section 250 transfers the banknotes to the banknote temporary storage bank 270 from the time of withdrawal, and the banknote depositing and withdrawing section 250 to the banknote determining section 260 are taken as an example for explanation. However, in order to store the banknotes, the banknotes are transported from the banknote temporary storage 270 to the banknote recovery library 276 or the reuse library 278, and the banknotes are deposited from the banknote temporary storage 270 to the banknotes in order to return the banknotes. The situation in which the section 250 is shipped is also the same. Since the same description is repeated, the description is omitted. Further, the case where the banknotes are transported from the collection bank 278 to the banknote depositing and withdrawing section 250 at the time of withdrawal is also the same. That is, the CPU 210 controls to stop the continuous delivery of the banknotes by checking the banknotes having a slower conveyance speed by the signal from the sensor, and to bring the banknotes closer to the banknotes that are detected to be slower than the conveyance speed. The banknote transport device on the continuous delivery side rotates in the reverse direction.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the CPU 210 controls the banknote transport device that is closer to the continuous delivery side than the banknotes that have been inspected to be reversed in the case of checking the banknotes having a slower transport speed. It can suppress the blockage of the overlap between the preceding banknote and the subsequent banknote.

Modifications:

The modification will be described with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a flow chart for explaining the conveyance control of the banknote of the ATM according to the modification. Further, since the configuration of the modification is the same as that of the present embodiment, the description of the configuration will be omitted.

The banknotes are continuously fed one by one from the banknote depositing and withdrawing section 250 to the banknote transport path 350. The banknotes are transported by the banknote transport device 301. Since the banknote reaches the position of the sensor 501, the value of the signal from the sensor 501 is changed, so the CPU 210 checks that the banknote has reached the sensor 501 (step S400). The CPU 210 records the time t1 at which the banknote reaches the sensor 501 in the storage unit 220 (step S405).

The CPU 210 predicts the time when the banknote arrives at the sensor 502 (step S410), and records it in the storage unit 220 (step S415). Since the distance between the sensor 501 and the sensor 502 is known in advance, the transport speed of the bill transporting devices 301, 302 can be understood, so that the CPU 210 can easily know the time t1 when the bill reaches the sensor 501. The prediction reaches the time t2a of the sensor 502.

The CPU 210 waits until the banknote reaches the sensor 502 (step S420). The CPU 210 is before the banknote reaches the sensor 502 (step S420: NO), and when the time elapses through t2a (step S425: Yes), it is checked that the shipment of the banknote is slowed down (step S430). The CPU 210 stops the continuous feeding of the banknotes from the banknote depositing and dispensing section 250, and causes the subsequent banknotes to be reversed toward the banknote depositing and withdrawing section 250 (step S435). Specifically, the CPU 210 rotates the bill transporter 301 in the reverse direction.

When the CPU 210 detects that the banknote has arrived at the sensor 502 (step S420: Yes), the time t2 at which the banknote reaches the detector 502 is recorded in the storage unit 220 (step S440). The CPU 210 predicts the time when the banknote arrives at the sensor 503 (step S445), and records it in the storage unit 220 (step S450). Since the distance between the sensor 502 and the sensor 503 is known in advance, the shipping speed of the banknotes by the banknote transporting devices 302, 303 can be known, so that as long as the time t2 at which the banknote reaches the sensor 502 is known, the CPU 210 The time t3a to reach the sensor 503 can be easily predicted.

The CPU 210 waits until the banknote reaches the sensor 503 (step S455). The CPU 210 is before the banknote reaches the sensor 503 (step S455: NO), and when the time elapses through t3a (step S460: Yes), it is checked that the banknote shipment is slow (step S430). The CPU 210 stops the continuous feeding of the banknotes from the banknote depositing and dispensing section 250, and causes the subsequent banknotes to be reversed toward the banknote depositing and withdrawing section 250 (step S435). Specifically, the CPU 210 rotates the banknote transport devices 301 and 302 in the reverse direction.

When the banknote reaches the sensor 503 (step S455: Yes), the CPU 210 records the time t3 at which the banknote reaches the detector 503 in the storage unit 220 (step S465). The time t3 is used when the CPU 210 predicts that the banknote reaches the time t4a of the next sensor. Since the same description will be repeated in the following, the description will be omitted.

By way of a modification, the CPU 210 can also check that the shipment of the banknote is slowed down before the banknote reaches the next sensor. Therefore, for example, in the case where the banknote is transported at an extremely slow speed for any reason, or if it is not moved at all, it is possible to suppress clogging due to the overlap of the banknotes.

In the above embodiment, in the case where the preceding banknote is checked for the slowing of the conveyance, although the CPU 210 is controlled to rotate the banknote transporting device in the reverse direction, and the banknote relating to the subsequent banknote is transported in the reverse direction, for example, It is also possible to slow down the rotation speed of the banknote transport device to a transport speed at which the speed of the subsequent banknotes is slower than the speed at which the preceding banknotes are transported.

In the above description, although the interval in which the banknotes are continuously fed is not specifically described, the CPU 210 may continuously send the next banknote after the banknotes that have been continuously fed reach the first sensor 501. Before reaching the first sensor 501, it is possible to suppress clogging due to the overlap of the banknotes. Further, the CPU 210 may continuously dispense the banknotes so as not to have two or more banknotes between adjacent sensors, and control the transportation. It is possible to suppress clogging due to the overlap of banknotes.

In the present embodiment, the sensor is disposed in the middle of the banknote transport device, but the sensor may be disposed between the two banknote transport devices. Since the transport speed of the banknotes can be changed in the order of the sensors, it is possible to suppress clogging due to the overlap of the banknotes.

In the present embodiment and the modification, although the sensor is described only for the three sensors disposed between the banknote depositing and dispensing section 250 to the banknote determining section 260, for example, it is also possible to determine the banknotes. Banknotes 260 to banknote temporary storage 270, banknote temporary storage 270 to banknote depositing and withdrawing section 250, banknote temporary storage to banknote recycling library 276 or recycling library 278 The shipping path, set a plurality of sensors.

In the present embodiment, although the preceding banknotes, which are not slowed down in the conveyance speed, continue to be transported toward the front, the preceding banknotes can be returned to the continuous delivery source. In addition, when the banknotes are returned to the continuous delivery source, they can be returned at a slower delivery speed than usual.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above based on a few embodiments, but the embodiments of the invention described above are intended to facilitate the understanding of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The invention is not to be construed as limited or modified, and the invention may be modified and modified.
