- the denomination of the bill determined to be a normal ticket are transmitted to the lower unit 200 as such information.
- the banknotes stacked as the banknote bundle B can have a large elastic force compared to their own weight. For this reason, even if bills are stacked, the overall height changes due to the elastic force acting on each bill. From this, the height of the bill bundle B is detected in a state where pressure is applied. Thereby, the actual height of the banknote bundle B can be accurately detected by eliminating the influence of the elastic force acting on each banknote on the detection result. First, the reason is explained.
- the height of the banknote bundle B is determined by the elasticity of the banknote, even if the banknote bundle B is actually the number of sheets that can be handled. May exceed the upper limit. Even if the height exceeds the upper limit due to the elasticity of the bill, the bill bundle B is returned, which results in the customer requiring more labor than necessary. The efficiency of using automated equipment will decrease. However, if the height is detected while the bill bundle B is pressurized, such a situation can be surely avoided. As a result, customers will be able to receive services more comfortably, and the use efficiency of automated equipment will be further improved.
- the bill bundle B can be inserted in a plurality of times in one transaction. Even if the bill bundle B is inserted in such a plurality of times, there is an upper limit of the height. That is, it is necessary that the accumulated value of the height of each bill bundle B does not exceed the upper limit.
- the height of the banknote bundle B can be accurately detected, its accumulated value can also be accurately obtained.
- the maximum number of banknote bundles B that can be additionally paid can be obtained by dividing the height of the upper limit minus the accumulated value by the thickness per banknote. By notifying the customer of the maximum number, it is possible to avoid in advance the insertion of banknotes that cannot be handled at the time of additional payment. Thereby, the convenience is further improved.
- the notification to the customer can be made to be performed by the lower body 200 by transmitting the maximum number of pieces of information as information to the ATM body. The calculated maximum number is assumed because the thickness of each banknote varies depending on the usage conditions.
- the stage 312 is moved to the lower end position, and the pusher 313 is pressed until the pick roller 411 and the lowermost banknote come into contact with an appropriate pressure.
- the height of the banknote bundle B in a pressurized state is detected by utilizing this fact.
- the height of the banknote bundle B is used to mean the one in a pressurized state.
- the lowering of the pusher 313 for pressurizing the banknote bundle B also performs the upper end position force.
- the pusher 313 passes the merging preparation position while being lowered to V. Since the pusher 313 at the merging preparation position can be detected by the sensor 425, the amount of movement of the pusher 313 is specified with reference to the merging reference position, and the height of the moving amount force banknote bundle B is determined. .
- the maximum moving distance L of the pusher 313 that can be lowered from the merging reference position is up to the position where the pusher 313 directly presses the pick roller 411.
- H the bill bundle B having the upper limit height H is
- K1 is greater than 1 and is a coefficient of value.
- the moving speed of the pusher 313 is kept constant by keeping the number of drive pulses that are adjusted by the pusher 313 moving motor (stepping motor) per unit time constant. For this reason, when the pusher 313 is lowered to press the bill bundle B, the sensor 425 detects the pusher 313 by monitoring the detection results of the sensors 425 and 423, which also receive the force of the sensor drive unit 364. The force also measures the time until the sensor 423 detects the pick roller 411. If the measured time is Tt and the moving speed of the pusher 313 is A L,
- the banknote bundle B for which the height Ha has been calculated is the one inserted at the beginning of the transaction, it will be the maximum height of the banknote bundle B that can be inserted at the next insertion. Therefore, by dividing the distance La by the thickness Hb of the bill, the maximum number ⁇ of bills that can be inserted at the next insertion can be obtained.
- Banknotes are made with a predetermined thickness.
- the thickness Hb slightly varies depending on the use condition.
- the height Ha of the banknote bundle B is The maximum number ⁇ X is obtained using the thickness Hb obtained by dividing by ⁇ . In this way, by calculating the maximum number of sheets ⁇ based on the actually distributed bills, when the customer inserts the maximum number of notes ⁇ , the accumulated value of the height Ha of the bill bundle B becomes the upper limit height.
- the number of bills can be obtained by counting the number of bills fed from the separator unit 310.
- the banknote bundle B present in the separator section 310 is returned to the customer. Otherwise, the upper limit height H force The value obtained by subtracting the accumulated value is divided by the bill thickness Hb to obtain the next max.
- the detection of the height Ha and the calculation of the maximum number ⁇ as described above are performed by the CPU 361.
- the maximum number ⁇ calculated by the CPU 361 is notified from the CPU 361 to the ATM body via the CPU 261 of the lower unit 200.
- FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the feeding process.
- the payout process is a process executed after the bill bundle B inserted by the customer is transported onto the stage 312 of the separator unit 310. By executing the processing, the bill bundle B on the stage 312 is also fed one by one and transported to the temporary holding section 330. Further, detection of the height Ha of the banknote bundle B and calculation of the maximum number of sheets ⁇ are also performed. For this reason, only the payout processing will be described here.
- the operation of the sheet handling apparatus 1 is such that the CPU 261 of the lower unit 200 controls the lower unit 200, and the CPU 361 of the upper unit 300 operates under the control of the CPU 261. This is realized by controlling each of the acceptors 100. Since the bill is fed from the separator section 310 under the control of the CPU 361, the description will be given here focusing on the CPU 361.
- step 1 the detection result of the sensor 422 is monitored, and the stage 312 is lowered to the lower end.
- step 2 the position (pressure Pressure position) to lower the pusher 313 from the upper end position.
- the time measurement is performed using, for example, a timer mounted on the CPU 361, and the detection result of the sensor 407b of the mobile encoder 407 is monitored to confirm that the pusher 313 moves in a normal state.
- step 3 the distance Lt is calculated by the equation (2) using the measured time Tt, and the height (thickness) of the banknote bundle B is calculated by the equation (3) using the calculated distance Lt. ) Calculate Ha.
- step 4 it is determined whether or not the banknote bundle B for which the height Ha has been calculated has been inserted by additional payment. If the banknote bundle B has been newly inserted by additional payment, the determination is YES and the process proceeds to step S5. Otherwise, the determination is no and the process moves to step 8.
- the height Ha of the inserted bill bundle B is calculated for each bill bundle B by executing the process of step 3 described above.
- the accumulated value is calculated by adding all the heights Ha of the inserted bill bundles B at the start of the transaction. After that, the process goes to step 6 to judge whether the accumulated value exceeds the allowable range, that is, the upper limit height H. Accumulated value is upper limit
- step 7 in which the newly inserted banknote bundle B is transported to the input / output port 101 and returned to the customer, after which a series of processes is terminated.
- step 8 one of the height Ha calculated in step 3 and the accumulated value calculated in step 5 is selected according to whether the inserted bill bundle B is due to additional payment. Calculate the maximum number ⁇ X that can be inserted at the next additional deposit by dividing the selected height by the thickness Hb per banknote. Go to step 9 next.
- step 9 the carrier 341 is moved to the escrow retreat position, and the stages 331 and 332 of the temporary holding section 330 are moved for storing bills.
- step 10 Rotates the DC motor 372. After the rotation of the motor 372 is started, the banknotes are sequentially fed out one by one from the separator unit 310 and transported to the temporary storage unit 330 until the banknotes are fed out from the separator unit 310 (S11, S12). . Thereby, the bill inserted by the customer is stored in the reservoir or the escrow.
- the bill is fed by transmitting power to the pick roller 411 and the feed roller 412 of the feeding mechanism 311, and the storage destination of the bill is determined by discriminating the fed bill by the discriminating unit 320. .
- the number of bills determined to be normal is counted for each denomination.
- the pusher 313 is lowered intermittently in order to apply an appropriate pressure during the dispensing of bills.
- step 12 When the feeding of the banknotes conveyed to the separator unit 310 is completed, that is, when all the banknotes that can be fed are fed out and stored in the temporary holding unit, the determination in step 12 becomes YES, and the process proceeds to step 13, where the DC motor 372 is operated. It stops and notifies the CPU 261 of the lower unit 200 that the feeding is completed. At this time, the deposit amount and the maximum number of sheets ⁇ are also notified.
- the CPU 261 transmits the information notified from the CPU 361 of the upper unit 361 to the ATM itself. With the transmission, the ATM body presents the deposit amount and the maximum number ⁇ to the customer and makes an inquiry about the request.
- step 14 the thickness Hb per sheet is calculated from the height Ha calculated in step 3 and the number of banknotes fed out.
- the thickness Hb when the thickness Hb is calculated, it is determined whether or not the thickness Hb is smaller than the previous thickness, so that the minimum thickness Hb is stored. I have to. As a result, the maximum number ⁇ X is calculated based on the best one of the actually inserted bill bundles B !
- the minimum height Ha of the banknote bundle B for which the thickness Hb is to be calculated is set so as to further avoid the influence of the error.
- the multi-conveyed normal ticket is sent to the discrimination unit 320.
- the banknote bundle B in which the abnormal ticket was found is excluded from the calculation due to the judgment of the abnormal ticket. In this way, a more appropriate thickness Hb is conserved.
- the banknote bundle B is inserted in a vertically stacked manner, but since the height Ha is detected by applying pressure, it is not always necessary to insert the banknote bundle B as such. That is, the bill bundle B may be inserted so that the longitudinal direction or the transverse direction of the bill is vertical or almost vertical.
