FIG. 3 is a side view showing the configuration of the banknote processing apparatus 100. The banknote processing apparatus 100 is provided with a deposit/withdrawal unit 101 that performs the entry and exit of the banknotes when the user inserts the banknotes, and a temporary storage unit 102 that temporarily stores the banknotes in the transaction, and The banknotes of banknotes and the types of banknotes for banknotes, the identification unit 103 for authenticity confirmation, and the banknotes for banknotes to be deposited, and the banknotes 104 for keeping banknotes for storage, and between units And the transfer path 105 for transferring the banknotes, and the information about the sensor information set at each unit or the transport path or the banknote determined by the authentication unit 103 (banknote type, banknote size, banknote) The control unit 106 that controls each unit such as the process of transporting the posture and the banknote interval.

Next, the operation of the banknote processing apparatus 100 will be described. The basic processing of the banknote processing apparatus 100 is mainly a banknote processing, a storage process, and a banknote process.

The banknote processing is a process of transporting the banknotes deposited by the depositing and dispensing unit 101 into the apparatus. First, the banknotes sent out from the deposit/withdrawal unit 101 are transported to the authentication unit 103 via the transport path 105, and are determined for the type and authenticity of the banknotes. As a result of the above determination, the banknote determined to be acceptable is transmitted via the rear transport path 105a. It is transported to the temporary storage unit 102. On the other hand, the banknote determined to be unacceptable is transported to the deposit/withdrawal unit 101 via the front transport path 105b. Here, the process of transferring the banknotes determined to be unacceptable by the authentication unit 103 to the deposit/withdrawal unit 101 and returning them to the user is referred to as a banknote rejection process.

The storage process is a state in which the banknote temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 102 after the banknote is determined is transported via the transport path 105a and the authentication unit 103 (the transport posture or paper) The banknote interval and the like are re-determined and stored in the storage library 104. With the above-mentioned banknote processing and storage processing, the banknote transaction system ends.

The banknote processing is a process of releasing the banknotes stored in the storage case 104 as necessary and providing them to the user. The banknotes sent out from the storage 104 are transported to the depositing and dispensing unit 101 via the transport path 106 and the authentication unit 103. At the authentication unit 103, it is judged whether the currency is confirmed or the state of the banknote is conveyed, and it is confirmed whether it is a banknote suitable for dispensing money.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the deposit/withdrawal unit 101 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6 . Fig. 4 is a side view showing the configuration of the depositing and dispensing unit 101. The deposit/withdrawal unit 101 is provided with a stacking guide member 13 that serves as a guide for collecting operations in the dispensing process and the banknote rejecting process, and a collecting guide member 17, and a banknote receiving and discharging unit The action board 14 divided into two, the bottom plate 15 for aligning the lower end of the long-side direction of the collected banknotes, and the banknotes for collecting the banknotes in the banknote processing and the banknote reject processing Collection agency, and at the banknote a separating mechanism for separating the banknotes, and a lower plate 23 for opening and closing the upper plate 23 in response to the transaction content, and a lower end support provided at the bottom plate 15 for supporting the long-side end (lower end) of the banknote Member 24.

The operation panel 14 is moved toward the front side (the right side in the drawing) or the back side (the left side in the drawing) of the banknote processing apparatus 100 by a moving means (not shown). Moreover, the banknote accommodating part (the first banknote accommodating part S1) on the back side of the banknote processing apparatus 100 in the banknote accommodating part divided into 2 by the operation board 14 is in the banknote processing or banknote insertion. When the processing is refused, the banknotes that are sent one at a time in order to be returned to the depositing and dispensing unit 101 are stored. On the other hand, the banknote accommodating part (the second banknote accommodating part S2) on the front side of the banknote handling apparatus 100 accommodates the banknotes received from the user.

Next, the specific composition of the collection organization will be described. The collecting mechanism includes a reel sheet roller 16 that is driven by a driving means (not shown), and a collecting guide member 17 that is disposed to face the reciprocating sheet roller 16 and overlap each other. And a driving roller 18 that rotates to send the banknote to the first banknote accommodating portion S1, and a passive roller 19 that is pressed against the driving roller and passively rotated. Further, the transport path 21 for transporting the bills to the collecting mechanism is provided with a passing sensor 22 for detecting the passing bills. The banknote conveyed to the depositing and dispensing unit 101 is guided to the collecting guide member 17 via the transport path 21 (refer to arrow A), and is collected in the first banknote accommodating portion S1. The first banknote accommodating portion S1 is a space formed by stacking the guiding member 13, the action plate 14, the bottom plate 15, and the upper plate 23, and can be The operation plate 14 is moved to expand and contract the volume.

The circulating sheet roller 16 is provided with a circulation unit 161 having a function of applying a force in a direction opposite to the conveying direction to the banknote and stopping the movement, and a sheet for moving the banknote to the first banknote accommodating portion S1. Part 162. Further, the circulating sheet roller 16, preferably, is formed by an elastic member such as a rubber or a plastic material. In addition, in FIG. 4, the combination of the circulation part 161 and the sheet part 162 (it is hereafter called a cyclic sheet) is provided in three places in the space of 120 degrees, However, It is not limited by this quantity. . Further, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the circulation portion 161 is not provided and the bill is stopped by the action of the sheet portion 162, for example.

The amount of overlap δ between the circulating sheet roller 16 and the collecting guide member 17 is determined by a positional relationship with a phase plate (not shown) provided at the shaft 16p of the circulating sheet roller 16. By overlapping the circulating sheet roller 16 and the collecting guide member 17, when the bill is transported to the collecting mechanism, the circulating sheet of the circulating sheet roller 16 is stopped at a specific position (hereinafter, this cycle is stopped) The stop position of the sheet roller 16 is referred to as a collection standby position). The circulating sheet roller 16 is rotated each time the banknote is transported to the collecting mechanism, and one of the circulating sheets is present at the collection standby position.

Next, the specific configuration of the separation mechanism will be described. The separating mechanism is provided with a pickup roller 31 as a roller for feeding the bills stored in the second bill storage portion S2 one by one, and a feeding roller 32, and a brake roller. 33. When separating the banknotes, the following processing is performed. Initially, by moving the action board 14 toward the banknote processing apparatus 100 When the surface is moved, the banknote to be separated is pressed and attached to the pickup roller 31, and is moved to a position where the pressing force is detected by a sensor (not shown) (pushing detection position) ) stop at it. At this time, the banknote is pressed and attached to the pickup roller 31 with a certain pressing adhesion. The pickup roller 31 is rotated by pressing the attachment state in this state, and the bill is separated and conveyed in the direction of the arrow B. Further, the pressing detection position of the operation plate 14 is changed in accordance with the amount of the banknote accommodated in the second banknote accommodating portion S2.

Next, the lower end supporting member 24 will be described using FIG. The lower end support member 24 is provided at the end in the longitudinal direction of the banknote so as to be able to collect even if the banknote having a small size is tilted toward the collecting mechanism side. (lower end) at the position of support. Specifically, when the distance from the position of the lower end support member 24 to the collection guide member 17 is set to the case where the wide width W is collected, the collection width required for collecting the banknotes without falling down is collected. The threshold value W1 of W is determined according to the minimum dimension lmin of the short side direction of the processed banknote. That is, if the allowable tilt angle of the banknote is set to (0°< <90°), it becomes W1=lmin×cos By providing the lower end support member 24 at the position where W < W1, the collected banknote system does not fall down to the allowable tilt angle The following situation. That is, it is preferable to set the distance between the collecting guide member 17 and the lower end supporting member 24 to be shorter than the minimum size lmin of the banknote.

Further, when the operation plate 14 moves the banknote stored in the second banknote accommodating portion S2 toward the separation mechanism side, the lower support member 24 is moved. It can't be a hindrance to it. For example, it is preferable that the lower end supporting member 24 is formed by an elastic member (for example, a rubber or a plastic material), and is configured to be deformable to be retractable with respect to the banknote pressed and moved by the action plate 14. And the banknote that is inclined and intended to slide can be supported without passing over the lower end support member 24. As a specific example, when a thin plastic sheet is used at the lower end supporting member 24, the thickness direction of the plastic sheet becomes the moving direction of the action panel 14, and the front end of the plastic sheet protrudes from the bottom plate 15 It is fixed at the bottom plate 15. In this configuration, by the rigidity of the plastic sheet, if the plastic sheet is strongly pressed by the action of the action panel 14, the plastic sheet is flexed and retracted without being pressed against the action panel 14. The situation in which the action of the banknote is hindered. Further, when the banknote located in the collection space S1 slides and is intended to fall, since the plastic sheet is only applied with a small load due to the weight of the banknote, the amount of deflection is small. And can support banknotes.

Fig. 6 is a top view showing the configuration of the deposit/withdrawal unit 101. The control unit 106 that transmits the signal for driving the drive control to the operation panel drive motor 26 includes a memory unit 106m that memorizes the amount of rotation of the operation panel drive motor 26, and a rotation for determining the rotation of the operation panel drive motor 26. The calculation unit 106c of the amount and the rotation speed. Further, the operation plate drive motor 26 and the operation plate 14 are connected via a belt 20 made of an elastic member such as rubber, and the drive mechanism of the operation plate drive motor 26 is transmitted to the operation plate 14. By the control of the control unit 106, when the bill processing apparatus 100 is started, the operation panel 14 is moved to the initial position determined in advance. It Thereafter, the position of the operation panel 14 can be grasped by storing the rotation history of the operation panel drive motor 26 in the memory unit 106m of the control unit 106.

Hereinafter, the collection operation of the depositing and dispensing unit 101 shown in FIGS. 7 to 11 will be described in detail with respect to the collecting operation at the depositing and dispensing unit 101. In addition, the banknotes to be collected are sequentially described as P1, P2, P3, ... PN.

FIG. 7 is a view showing a state before the first banknote P1 is transported to the first banknote accommodating portion S1. The circulating sheet roller 16 is stopped at the above-described collection standby position. At this time, the circulation portion 161 of the circulating sheet roller 16 prevents the paper jam from being caught by the paper bill P1 which is not conveyed.

FIG. 8 is a view showing a state in which the first banknote P1 is transported to the first banknote accommodating portion S1. The first banknote P1 that has passed through the transport path 21 is transported between the circulation portion 161 of the circulating sheet roller 16 and the collection guide member 17 by the conveyance force by the drive roller 18. . As described above, the circulation portion 161 and the collection guide member 17 are overlapped, but the circulation portion 161 is slid by the transfer of the banknote. Further, since the circulation portion 161 is formed by the elastic member, the first banknote P1 is held without being bent. Thereafter, when the lower end of the first banknote P1 is separated from the holding point of the driving roller 18 and the passive roller 19, the first banknote P1 is guided by the circulating portion 161 and the collecting guide from the stop. The member 17 receives the resistance to the conveyance and stops. In addition, the upper end of the first banknote P1 is tied and collected. When the rib 11 is in contact, even if the second banknote P2 is transported to the first banknote accommodating portion S1, the banknote can be prevented from falling down.

FIG. 9 is a view showing a state before the second banknote P2 is transported to the first banknote accommodating portion S1. When the tip end of the second banknote P2 is detected by the sensor 22, the circulating foil roller 16 is rotated by 120° in the X direction (front side of the apparatus) in the drawing, and is rotated in the next cycle. The portion 161 is stopped in a state where it has reached the collection standby position. When the circulating sheet roller 16 rotates, the sheet portion 162 is brought into contact with the lower end of the first banknote P1 once or more, and the first banknote P1 is discharged in the Z direction in the drawing.

FIG. 10 is a view showing a state in which the second banknote P2 is transported to the first banknote accommodating portion S1. The second banknote P2 is the same as the first banknote P1, and is transported between the circulation portion 161 of the circulating sheet roller 16 and the collection guide member 17, and is transported by the circulation portion 161 and When the guide member 17 is collected and held, the transport system is stopped. At this time, at the contact point between the first banknote P1 and the collecting rib 11 which are collected, the leading end of the second banknote P2 comes into contact with the first banknote P1. Thereafter, by moving the first banknote P1 that has been collected in the direction of the operation plate 14, the leading end of the second banknote P2 enters between the collecting rib 11 and the first banknote P1 that has been collected. .

FIG. 11 is a view showing a state before the third banknote P3 is transported to the first banknote accommodating portion S1. When the tip end of the third banknote P3 is detected by the sensor 22, the circulating sheet roller 16 is rotated by 120° in the X direction (front side of the apparatus) in the drawing. It is stopped in a state where the next circulation unit 161 has reached the collection standby position. When the circulating sheet roller 16 rotates, the sheet portion 162 and the lower end of the second sheet of paper P2 are brought into contact one or more times, and the second sheet of bills P2 is discharged in the Z direction in the drawing. Thereafter, the third banknote P3 is collected by the same processing procedure as the first banknote P1 and the second banknote P2.

The above operation is repeated until the Nth banknote PN is transported to the first banknote accommodating portion S1. The control unit 106 moves the operation plate 14 so as to maintain the width of the first banknote storage unit S1 in order to collect the number of pieces.

When the above-described general collection operation is the collection operation of the banknote dispensing process, the banknote storage unit S2 does not contain the banknotes. Therefore, there is no problem in that the operation plate 14 is moved toward the separation mechanism side in response to the movement of the operation plate 14 to the vicinity of the collection mechanism in accordance with the number of banknotes to be conveyed. In other words, the banknotes that have been transported can be collected while the volume of the first banknote accommodating portion S1 is set to an appropriate volume. However, when it is a collection operation of the banknote reject processing, since the banknotes accommodated in the second banknote accommodating portion S2 are also separated, as shown in FIG. The action plate 14 is located in the vicinity of the pickup roller 31 of the separation mechanism, and the volume of the first separation mechanism S1 is excessively large. In this case, the banknote of the banknote size that is too small may fall down in the first banknote accommodating part S1, and the banknote may be bent due to the subsequent action, or the banknote may be inserted into the action board. And cause the banknotes to become difficult to extract, and It is caused by the possibility of malfunction due to bending or inserting of banknotes.

Hereinafter, the side view of the collecting mechanism of the depositing and dispensing port unit 101 shown in FIGS. 12 to 15 and the flowchart shown in FIG. 16 are used for the process of depositing banknotes and rejecting the banknotes. The collection operation at the deposit/withdrawal unit 101 is explained in detail. In addition, in each step of FIG. 16, steps S101 to S106 and S116 to S117 are used as the deposit processing, and steps S107 to S115 are used as the banknote reject processing.

After the banknotes that have been dispensed by the user are put into the second banknote storage unit S2, the operation plate 14 is moved to the pressing detection position, and as shown in FIG. Among the banknotes in the second banknote accommodating portion S2, the banknote closest to the separating mechanism side comes into contact with the pickup roller 31 (step S101). Moreover, the circulating sheet roller 16 is rotated, and the circulation portion 161 is brought to the collection standby position (step S102). Further, the order of steps S101 and S102 is not limited, and the other processing may be started before the processing of one of them is completed.

After the completion of the steps S101 and S102, the separation of the banknotes stored in the second banknote storage unit S2 is started by driving the pickup roller 31 (step S103). In the case where the sensor (not shown) is unable to detect the pressing force of the operation plate 14 (step S104: N), the pickup roller 31 is maintained in a state in which the pickup roller 31 is rotated. The action plate 14 is moved to the push detection position and stopped (step S105).

When the first banknote rejection has occurred (step S106: Y, step S107: N), the circulating sheet roller 16 is rotated all the way to the collection standby position, and the paper is rejected in order to be transported. The banknotes are collected and rotated all the way to the collection standby position (step S108). Thereafter, the first banknote rejecting banknote P1 is held by the circulation path 21 and by the circulation portion 161 of the circulating sheet roller 16 and the collection guide member 17. In addition, at the time of the banknote processing, until the first banknote refuses to transfer the banknote to the collection facility, in principle, there is no banknote at the collection mechanism, but it is assumed that there is a circulation section. In the case of collecting the banknote held by the guiding member 17, the banknote is discharged to the first banknote accommodating portion S1.

When the second banknote rejecting banknote P2 has occurred (step S106: Y, step S107: Y), it is determined whether or not the operation plate 14 exists on the side of the collecting mechanism compared to the lower end supporting member 24 (device) The specific position of the rear side (the banknote rejecting the banknote stop position 14a) is further on the side of the separation mechanism (in front of the apparatus) (step S109). When the action plate 14 is present on the side of the collecting mechanism by the more than the banknote rejecting banknote stop position 14a due to the amount of banknotes thrown into the second banknote accommodating portion S2 (step S109: N) Even if the action panel 14 is not moved, the first rejected banknote P1 does not fall down. On the other hand, when the banknotes to be placed in the second banknote accommodating portion S2 are small and the operation plate 14 is present on the side of the collection mechanism by the banknote rejecting banknote blocking position 14a (step S109: Y), as shown in FIG. 13, generally, the action plate 14 is moved to the lower end support member 24 and further to the collection mechanism side (behind the device) At the same time, the banknote refuses the banknote stop position 14a to stop it (step S110). Further, since the banknote contained in the second banknote accommodating portion S2 is lost by the action plate 14, when the roller 31 is picked up, it is likely to be sent. The possibility of paper jam occurs. Therefore, the driving of the pickup roller 31 is stopped (step S111). Further, the stop of the movement of the operation plate 14 and the stop of the pickup roller 31 may be performed regardless of the first, but in the case of preventing the paper jam, it is preferable to drive the pickup roller 31. Before the stop, the movement of the action plate 14 is started.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 14, generally, the first sheet of the banknote rejecting banknote P1 is discharged to the first by rotating the sheet roll 16 to the next collection standby position. The banknote storage unit S1 (step S112). The first banknote rejecting banknote P1, which is discharged by circulating the sheet roller 16, is stopped by the action plate 14 which is stopped at the banknote rejecting banknote stop position 14a. Further, the second banknote rejecting banknote P2 conveyed via the transport path 21 is held by the circulation portion 161 of the sheet roll 16 and the collecting guide member 17.

At this time, the first banknote rejecting banknote P1 that has been discharged to the first banknote accommodating section S1 is also bounced by the action plate 14 and falls down to the side of the collecting mechanism. The banknotes are rejected by the banknotes P2, whereby there is no possibility of falling down until the upper end of the banknotes is in contact with the bottom plate 15 due to its own weight.

Release the first banknote rejecting banknote P1 to the first banknote receiving After the portion S1 is separated from the banknotes stored in the second banknote accommodating portion S2, as shown in FIG. 15, the action plate 14 is moved all the way to the push detection position again (steps S113, S114). ), and the pickup of the roller 31 is started again (step S115). In this case, the volume of the first banknote accommodating portion S1 is enlarged. However, the first banknote rejects the banknote P1, and the lower end thereof is supported by the lower end supporting member 24. Therefore, similarly to the case where the action panel 14 is present at the banknote rejecting banknote stop position 14a, there is no possibility of falling down until the upper end of the banknote is brought into contact with the bottom plate 15.

After all the banknotes accommodated in the second banknote accommodating portion S2 are separated (step S116), the rotation of the pickup roller 31 is stopped (step S117).

According to the above configuration and processing, even if the volume of the banknote accommodating portion is enlarged, the banknote refusal banknote can be reliably collected.

In the present embodiment, only when the second banknote rejecting banknote P2 is transported to the first banknote accommodating section, the action plate 14 is moved until the banknote rejects the banknote stop. At the position 14a, this is because, in the case where the first banknote rejects the banknote P1, it is only in the state of being held by the circulation portion 161 of the circulating sheet roller 16 and the collecting guide member 17. When it is stopped, the banknote P1 is discharged to the first banknote accommodating portion S1 after the second banknote refuses the banknote P2 to be transported. In addition, when the deposit is rejected in the third and subsequent deposits, the banknotes rejected in the first banknote storage unit S1 are rejected. At the side of the collecting mechanism at the rear of the device, which is closer to the lower end supporting member 24, the banknote rejecting banknote plays the same role as the action plate 14 which is always retracted to the banknote rejecting banknote blocking position 14a, and the banknote The possibility that the upper end has been lowered to the bottom plate 15 is low. In addition, in order to surely prevent the upper end of the banknote from falling down to the bottom plate 15, it is also possible to perform the same process as the second banknote rejecting banknote P2 when the third banknote refuses banknotes. deal with.

Moreover, if the friction between the lower end of the banknote and the bottom plate 15 is sufficiently large, even if the lower end support member 24 is not present, the upper end of the banknote can be prevented from falling down, and the lower end support is not provided. Member 24. In this case, in order to accommodate the banknotes in the first banknote accommodating portion S1, the operation plate 14 is made such that the collection width W of the first banknote accommodating portion S1 is W<W1. mobile.
