- the paper sheet processing apparatus of the second embodiment is a modification of the paper sheet processing apparatus of the first embodiment, and therefore, only the configuration and operation will be described here.
- the paper sheet processing apparatus of the first embodiment is an apparatus that performs preliminary discrimination of banknotes by detecting the presence or absence of a thread.
- the paper sheet processing apparatus according to the second embodiment is configured to perform preliminary discrimination by detecting the shape of a bill.
- a portion where the sensor 29 including a magnetoresistive element is provided is provided in the sheet processing apparatus S of the second embodiment.
- Two optical sensors are provided to detect the width of the bill. The two optical sensors are installed on the transport path 26 so that the interval in the direction perpendicular to the direction of travel of the banknote is the minimum value of the banknote targeted by the paper sheet processing apparatus.
- a thickness sensor for measuring the thickness of the banknote is also provided on the transport path 26 in the paper sheet processing apparatus of the second embodiment.

It consists of a sensor that outputs a signal at a level corresponding to the distance from the roller.
- the control unit 15 in the paper sheet processing apparatus determines whether or not the shape of the bill is appropriate based on signals from these sensors. Then, based on the judgment result, it is determined whether the bill is supplied to the discriminating unit 12 or returned to the input unit 11.
- the operation of the control unit 15 in each step excluding step S202 shown in FIG. 7 is the same as the operation of the control unit 15 in the sheet processing apparatus of the first embodiment. Has become. Therefore, only the operation in step S202 will be described here.
- step S202 the control unit 15 checks the signal levels from both optical sensors. When both optical sensors detect that the banknote is outputting a signal at a level indicating the presence of the banknote, it determines that the banknote has an appropriate width, Otherwise, it is determined that the banknote does not have an appropriate width.
- the control unit 15 also measures the time during which both sensors are outputting a signal having a level indicating that a bill is present. If the measured time is equal to or shorter than the preset reference time, the control unit 15 determines that the banknote to be subjected to the preliminary discrimination has an inappropriate length. . Further, the control unit 15 detects the thickness of the bill passing through the transport paths 26, ⁇ , based on the signal from the thickness sensor. Then, when the detected thickness is not within the predetermined range, the control unit 15 determines that the banknote to be subjected to the preliminary discrimination has an inappropriate thickness.
- control unit 15 branches to the “Y” side and conveys the bill to the discrimination unit 12 (step S203). On the other hand, if any of the width, length, and thickness is inappropriate, the control unit 15 branches to the “N” side, and feeds the bill to the input unit without supplying the bill to the discrimination unit 12. Return to 1 (Step S207).
- the banknote processing apparatus of the second embodiment is configured such that a banknote having an inappropriate shape is supplied to the input unit without being supplied to the discrimination unit. It is configured to be returned. That is, in this paper sheet processing apparatus, much time is not consumed for discriminating bills that are clearly ineligible. In addition, since small-sized paper sheets and thin paper sheets that easily cause jams are not conveyed to the discrimination section, the probability of jams occurring in the conveyance system is reduced.
- the paper sheet processing apparatus can be variously modified. For example, in step S102, when there is a thread, a branch to step S107 is made. When no thread exists, the branch to step S103 is made. If the paper sheet processing apparatus of the first embodiment is modified so that branching is performed, it is possible to obtain an apparatus for removing banknotes having a thread by preliminary identification.
- the paper sheet processing apparatuses of the first and second embodiments include an insertion section that functions as a bill insertion slot and a bill outlet, but a mechanism that functions as a bill outlet may be separately provided.
- the paper sheet processing apparatus of the second embodiment detects the width, length, and thickness of a banknote
- the apparatus may be configured to detect one or two of these pieces of information. it can.
- the device may be configured so that the preliminary discrimination is performed based on other information (for example, color).
