BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a banknote organizing apparatus that counts banknotes, accumulates the counted banknotes in a plurality of temporary stacking units, and binds and organizes the banknotes at a fixed number.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Banks and other financial institutions have introduced banknote bundling and organizing devices that bundle and organize banknotes collected at the time of scrutiny and the like.
The conventional banknote bundling arrangement device sets a large number of banknotes mixed in denominations to the input part, conveys them one by one to the discrimination part, and discriminates denominations and correctness, etc. In accordance with designations such as loss and damage, the sheets are accumulated in a temporary accumulation section, and when the number of accumulated sheets becomes constant, the sheets are bundled by a binding material such as paper tape and discharged.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, with the conventional banknote bundling and organizing device, only one denomination and designation of a correct or non-defective ticket can be specified. For example, when specifying a correct note with a 10,000 yen ticket, Since all banknotes are rejected, there is a problem that it takes a great deal of labor and time when selecting and sorting banknotes according to multiple denominations and losses.
[0004]
Accordingly, in the present invention, when banknotes are selected and sorted according to a plurality of denominations or damages, the banknote sorting apparatus can perform processing quickly and can perform various uses for counting and bundling. It is a problem to realize.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
For this reason, the present invention provides an insertion slot for inserting banknotes, a discrimination section for discriminating the denomination and correctness of banknotes conveyed from the insertion slot, and the banknotes according to the discrimination result of the discrimination section. An accumulation mechanism having a plurality of temporary accumulation units that accumulate according to denominations and losses; When a fixed number of banknotes stacked in the temporary stacking unit are stacked, the fixed number of banknotes are clamped and removed from the temporary stacking unit. A transfer mechanism having a clamp portion, and a banknote binding mechanism that binds a fixed number of banknotes received from the transfer mechanism with a tape and discharges it as a banknote bundle, Depending on the type of banknote due to denomination or damage, a temporary stacking unit is set in advance, and all the inserted banknotes are stacked in each temporary stacking unit, and then banknotes corresponding to the predetermined temporary stacking unit are stacked. The bills are exchanged between the temporary stacking units by the transfer mechanism. It is characterized by that.

A switching blade (not shown) for switching the bill conveyance direction is provided in the vicinity of each of the branch points A and B, and the operation is controlled by a control unit described later.
[0014]
FIG. 5 is a side view of the stacking mechanism 6.
In the stacking mechanism 6, the four temporary stacking units 6a to 6c are arranged in the vertical direction as described above, and these temporary stacking units 6a to 6c have the same structure. The accumulation unit 6a will be described as an example.
The banknotes transported by the transport path 3d are taken toward the stacking plate 21 by the sorting gate 27 of the temporary stacking unit 6a, whereby the banknotes that have entered the temporary stacking unit 6a are stacked by being hit by the tapping wheel 20 at the rear part. It is integrated on the plate 21.
[0015]
Further, the banknotes that enter after that are stacked on the banknotes stacked on the stacking plate 21 by the same operation.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing details of the temporary accumulating portion 6a.
The banknotes that have entered the temporary stacking unit 6a are not only struck by the tapping wheel 20, but are also aligned in the longitudinal direction by the longitudinal positioning means 22 provided on one side of the temporary stacking unit 6a. The position in the short direction is aligned by the short positioning means 22 provided on the front end side of the portion 6a.
[0016]
Here, the longitudinal positioning mechanism 22 includes a motor 22a capable of rotating in both forward and reverse directions, and a rod or plate-like positioning member 22c connected to the motor via a connecting member 22b. Rotating the positioning member 22c by the motor 22a with the timing of a detection signal from an ingress sensor (not shown) that detects the incoming banknote, thereby aligning the banknote against the reference surface 25 installed on the opposite side. It has become.
[0017]
Further, the short positioning mechanism 22 is constituted by a rod-like member biased by a biasing means such as a torsion spring (not shown), and aligns by biasing the accumulated bills toward the entrance side. ing.
When banknotes are accumulated on the accumulation plate 21 and the accumulation height is detected to exceed a reference value by a height sensor (not shown), the accumulation plate 21 is automatically lowered and the temporary accumulation unit 6a By expanding the space, this operation enables stable stacking even if the stacking height differs depending on the state of the banknote caused by wrinkles, creases, and the like.
[0018]
A presser plate 24 is provided above the stacking plate 21 so as to be opposed to the presser plate 24. The presser plate 24 stands by at the upper end of the temporary stacking unit 6a during stacking of banknotes on the stacking plate 21 and is sequentially taken in. So as not to get in the way.
When a predetermined number of banknotes, for example, 100 banknotes, are stacked on the stacking plate 21 of the temporary stacking unit 6a, the gate sorting mechanism 27 is operated so as not to take in banknotes. Control is performed so as to accumulate in any one of the temporary accumulation units 6b to 6d.
[0019]
In the temporary stacking unit 6a where the banknotes have stopped entering, the stacking plate 21 is raised and the presser plate 24 is lowered to hold the banknotes.
With this operation, the thickness of banknotes having different stacking heights is made constant depending on the state of banknotes such as bags, and delivery to the moving mechanism 9 is facilitated.
The bills sandwiched between the stacking plate 21 and the presser plate 24 are pulled out by a hand portion of the moving mechanism 9 described later entering the temporary stacking portion 6a from the short positioning mechanism 22 side.
[0020]
Since the temporary stacking units 6b to 6d have the same structure as the temporary stacking unit 6a, the banknotes can be aligned, stacked, and sandwiched in the same manner as the temporary stacking unit 6a.
FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the transfer mechanism 9.
The transfer mechanism 9 includes a bill clamp unit 30, a clamp unit moving unit 31, and a vertical movement unit 32.
[0021]
The banknote clamp part 30 has clamp claws 35a and 35b that open and close in the vertical direction. The banknote clamp part 30 is mounted on the clamp part moving means 31, and is clamped by the clamp claws 35a and 35b from the temporary stacking parts 6a to 6b. When the bill is clamped and pulled out, the clamp moving means 31 is bill The clamp part 30 is pushed out with respect to the temporary stacking parts 6a to 6b and moved to a position where 100 banknotes can be clamped.
[0022]
bill The clamp part 30 and the clamp part moving means 31 are moved up and down integrally between the temporary stacking parts 6a to 6d by the vertical movement means 32, and any one of the temporary stacking parts 6a to 6b in which stacking of 100 bills is completed. It is controlled to stop before.
For this reason, position sensors 33a to 33d are disposed in the frame of the vertical movement means 32 in correspondence with the positions of the temporary stacking units 6a to 6d. For example, banknotes stacked on the temporary stacking unit 6a are extracted. At this time, the clamp moving means 31 is pulled up by the vertical movement means 32 to the position of the position sensor 33a.
[0023]
The clamp part moving mechanism 31 pulled up is bill Clan Part Since 30 needs to be fixed at this position while the banknotes are extracted from the temporary stacking unit 6a, the stopper cam 34 which can be rotated at the position stopped by the position sensor 33a is locked to the clamp unit moving means 31 to prevent the fall. It is like that.
A series of operations of the transfer mechanism 9 will be described. For example, when a banknote accumulated in the temporary stacking unit 6a is pulled out, the banknote clamping unit 30 is first moved up to the position of the position sensor 33a together with the clamp unit moving mechanism 31 by the vertical movement means 32. Then, the position sensor 33a stops the rise at the position where the clamp part moving mechanism 31 is detected, and at the same time, the stopper cam 34 is rotated to be engaged with the clamp part moving means 31.
[0024]
As a result, the clamping unit moving means 31 is fixed at a position corresponding to the temporary stacking unit 6a, and in this state, the clamping claws 35a and 35b of the bill clamping unit 30 are opened in the vertical direction by the clamping moving mechanism 31 to clamp 100 bills. The banknote clamp part 30 is further pushed out in the direction of the temporary stacking part 6a by the clamp moving mechanism 31.
[0025]
The clamp claws 35a and 35b of the pushed bill clamp mechanism 30 are inserted into the opening provided on the short positioning mechanism 23 side of the temporary stacking unit 6a and are sandwiched between the stacking plate 21 and the pressing plate 24. Hold the banknotes from above and below.
Next, when the stacking plate 21 and the holding plate 24 are opened to release the holding of the banknotes, the 100 banknotes are passed to the banknote clamping unit 30. Therefore, the clamping claws 35a and 35b The banknote clamp part 30 holding the banknote is pulled back by the clamp part moving means 31.
[0026]
At this time, the bill held by the clamp claws 35a and 35b hits the short positioning mechanism 23 of the temporary stacking portion 6a. However, when the bill clamping portion 30 is pulled back as it is, the short positioning mechanism 23 is biased by the pressing force of the bill. The banknotes are smoothly extracted from the temporary stacking portion 6a.
When the banknote clamp part 30 is pulled back to the original position, it is locked to the clamp part moving means 31 and the stopper cam 34 is rotated to release the lock, and the clamp moving means together with the banknote clamp part 30 holding the banknote. 31 moves to the banknote binding mechanism 10 positioned at the lowermost end of the movement path by the vertical movement means 32, and the banknotes held by the clamp claws 35 a and 35 b of the banknote clamp unit 30 are delivered to the banknote binding mechanism 10.
[0027]
FIG. 8 is a side view of the banknote binding mechanism 10.
The banknote bundling mechanism 10 includes a conveying unit 40 including rollers and a belt, a bundling tape 41 using paper tape or the like, a printing unit 42, a supply unit 43 for supplying the tape 41, and a tape 41 having a predetermined length. And a binding means (not shown) for binding the bills as follows.
[0028]
First, the conveyance path 10 collectively receives 100 banknotes from the banknote clamp part 30 of the transfer mechanism 9 and conveys them to the binding position.
The tape supply means 43 supplies the tape 41 to the bundling means, and at this time, the printing means 42 prints the denominations of banknotes bound to the tape 41 via the ink ribbon.
The printed tape 41 is cut into a predetermined length by a cutter 44, and the cut tape is wrapped around 100 bills conveyed to the binding position by the binding means to form a banknote bundle.
[0029]
The banknote bundle thus created is further conveyed by the conveying means 40 and sent to the discharge port 11.
FIG. 9 is a block diagram of a control system related to bill counting.
In the figure, reference numeral 50 denotes a control unit that controls the operation processing of the entire bill sorting apparatus, 51a to 51d are counters, and the counters 51a to 51d correspond to the temporary stacking units 6a to 6d on a one-to-one basis, for example, the temporary stacking unit 6a. The counter 51a counts the number of banknotes accumulated in the counter 51a. Similarly, the counter 51b counts the number of banknotes stacked in the temporary stacking section 6b. The counter 51c and the temporary stacking section 6d stack the banknotes stacked in the temporary stacking section 6c. The counter 51d counts the number of banknotes accumulated in.
[0030]
A storage unit 52 stores the denominations of banknotes accumulated in the temporary accumulation units 6a to 6d, the number of banknotes counted for each denomination, and the like.
Next, the operation of the above-described configuration will be described.
When the power of the apparatus is turned on, an initial screen is displayed on the operation display unit 13, and the display mode of the initial screen is selected by pressing with a finger.
[0031]
As a result, the mode setting screen is displayed on the operation display unit 13, and the deposit mode or the organizing mode displayed on this screen is selected.
The deposit mode is a mode in which a cash deposit transaction is performed, the banknotes are counted, and a result obtained by classifying and counting each transaction number, a specified category, and the like is stored in the storage unit 52 in the deposit mode. In the mode, the result of classification and aggregation is not stored in the storage unit.
[0032]
Next, an operation mode in the deposit mode or the arrangement mode is selected.
In this operation mode, a counting mode that only counts banknotes, a specified denomination binding mode that binds banknotes of a specified denomination, and a bundle of clean correct bills while classifying the correctness of banknotes of a specified denomination There is a correct bill classification and bundling mode, and there is a correct bill classification and bundling mode for bundling both clean and dirty bills while sorting the correctness of banknotes of the specified denomination. A screen is displayed on the operation display unit 3, and one of them is selected.
[0033]
The counting mode is a mode in which the banknote set in the slot 1 is conveyed to the discrimination section 2, denominated and counted, and discharged to the open pocket 5. This counting mode will not be referred to hereinafter.
In the designated denomination binding mode, correct bill classification binding mode, and correct ticket classification binding mode, banknotes are discriminated against each other, but the level can be specified by a numerical value indicating the degree of contamination set in advance from 0 to 9. The specified damage level is used as a reference value for discrimination, and a value less than the reference value is set as a correct note, and a value higher than the reference value is determined as a lost note.
[0034]
Next, designation of denominations in each binding mode will be described.
Basically, each mode and a series of setting items such as designated denominations in the mode are stored in the storage unit 52.
Since the storage unit 52 is backed up by a battery or the like, the stored contents are retained when the power is turned off.
[0035]
Therefore, the stored content of the storage unit 52 is read by the control unit 50 when the power is turned on, and the processing is executed. However, the setting can be changed by the following operation.
In the designated denomination bundling mode, the denomination can be single denomination or multiple denominations. For example, single denomination of 10,000 yen, 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, or 2,000 yen can be specified. Multiple denominations can be specified such as 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen or 10,000 yen and 5,000 yen.
[0036]
Regular ticket classification binding mode All four denominations are organized and combined at the same time, but you can specify the denomination by pressing any button of 10,000 yen, 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, or 2,000 yen. Thus, it is possible to bind the single denomination and the two denominations of banknotes.
The non-performing ticket classification and bundling mode is based on the process of classifying and bundling 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen impairments, but you can press any button of 10,000 yen, 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, or 2,000 yen arbitrarily. By specifying the denomination, it is possible to specify a single denomination and two denominations.
[0037]
The denomination specified in each mode is stored in the storage unit 52.
In addition, the denominations of banknotes to be stacked can be specified for the temporary stacking units 6a to 6c, and when specified, the data is stored in the storage unit 52, and based on the data at the time of banknote stacking described later. Control.
As described above, the mode, denomination, and the like are set, and actual bill processing is executed.
[0038]
For example, if the designated denomination binding mode is selected and 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen are specified as the denominations to be bound, the operator can select a banknote that contains multiple denominations. Slot When it is set to 1 and the count start button 7a disposed on the operation unit 7 is pressed, the taking-in of banknotes is started.
This Slot The bills are separated one by one and conveyed to the discrimination unit 2 by the conveyance path 3a. The discrimination unit 2 discriminates and counts the authenticity, denomination, front and back, correctness, etc. of the banknotes and detects whether there is a conveyance abnormality. Is done.
[0039]
As a result, banknotes that were not bundled and identified as 5,000 yen or 2,000 yen with genuine bills were transported and accumulated in the open pocket 5 by the transport paths 3c and 3e, and were also identified as false or denomination unknown. Banknotes and banknotes in which a conveyance abnormality such as double feeding is detected are conveyed to the reject pocket 8 by the conveyance path 3b and accumulated.
Banknotes discriminated as genuine or thousand yen are transported to the front / back reversing part 4 by the transport path 3c regardless of the result of the discrimination, and after the front and back reversing parts 4 are aligned, the transport path 3d Is conveyed to the accumulation mechanism 6 and accumulated in the temporary accumulation units 6a to 6d as follows.
[0040]
First, out of 1,000 yen or 10,000 yen banknotes, the banknotes that have been transported to the discrimination unit 2 and whose denominations have been determined are stacked on the temporary stacking unit 6a and then transported to the discrimination unit 2 later. Is accumulated in the temporary accumulation unit 6b.
That is, since the denomination of the banknote previously conveyed to the discrimination unit 2 is determined as the denomination accumulated in the temporary accumulation unit 6a, the denomination of the banknote accumulated in the temporary accumulation unit 6b is also uniquely determined. If the denomination of the banknote previously conveyed to the discrimination unit 2 is 10,000 yen, 10,000 yen is accumulated in the temporary accumulating part 6a, and 1,000 yen banknotes are accumulated in the temporary accumulating part 6b.
[0041]
However, if the operation display unit 13 specifies in advance that a 10,000 yen ticket is accumulated on one of the temporary accumulation unit 6a and the temporary accumulation unit 6b and a thousand yen ticket is accumulated on the other, the accumulation of banknotes is performed according to the designation. I do.
The number of banknotes stacked in the temporary stacking unit 6a is counted by the counter 51a, and the number of banknotes stacked in the temporary stacking unit 6b is counted by the counter 51b.
[0042]
That is, one banknote is stacked in the temporary stacking units 6a and 6b. every In addition, the values of the counters 51 and 51b are incremented by "1" by the control unit 50. When the banknotes are taken in and the banknotes accumulated in the temporary stacking unit 6a reach 100 sheets, the stacking place of the banknotes of the denomination is moved to the temporary stacking unit 6c, 101 sheets Eye To the temporary accumulating unit 6c.
[0043]
Similarly, when the banknotes stacked in the temporary stacking unit 6b reach 100, they are stacked in the temporary stacking unit 6d from the 101st sheet.
Needless to say, the counter 51c, 51d counts the number of bills that have been temporarily stacked 6c, 6d.
The banknotes of the temporary stacking unit 6a having reached 100 sheets are pulled out of the temporary stacking unit 6a by the transfer mechanism 9 and sent to the banknote binding mechanism 10 as described above.
[0044]
As a result, the temporary stacking unit 6a is in an empty state, so that when the number of stacked banknotes in the temporary stacking unit 6c or 6d newly reaches 100, the temporary stacking unit 6a can be switched to the empty stacking unit 6a. Become.
At this time, the value of the counter 51a is cleared (the values of the counters 51b to 51d are also cleared when the banknotes of the temporary stacking units 6b to 6d are extracted).
[0045]
The banknote binding mechanism 10 receives 100 banknotes from the transfer mechanism 9, binds the received banknotes with tape as described above, and discharges them from the outlet as a banknote bundle.
In this way, ten thousand yen and one thousand yen banknotes are bundled one by one and discharged. When counting and stacking of all banknotes are completed, the fractional number remaining in the temporary stacking units 6a to 6b can be taken out by opening the door 12 of the temporary stacking unit.
[0046]
Although not shown, the accumulation mechanism 9 is provided with a display unit such as an LCD in the vicinity of each of the temporary accumulation units 6a to 6b. The type is displayed and the number of fractions remaining in the temporary stacking units 6a to 6b is displayed based on the values of the counters 51a to 51d.
In addition, when denominations of 5,000 yen or 2,000 yen and 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen are specified as the denominations to be bound, three of the temporary accumulation units 6a to 6d are used for accumulation, and the remaining 1 It is possible to perform a continuous bundling process in the same manner as described above by using one spare as a spare and using this spare temporary stacking unit for stacking 100 denominated banknotes.
[0047]
In addition, when the above four denominations are designated as the binding denomination, one denomination is allocated to each of the temporary stacking units 6a to 6d. Therefore, every time 100 banknotes of any denomination are stacked. The bundling process is performed by stopping the taking-in and transporting of the banknotes, and taking out 100 banknotes by the transfer mechanism 9 and then restarting the taking-in and transporting.
In this case, since the taking-in and conveyance of banknotes are stopped halfway, the continuous bundling process is possible although the overall speed is reduced.
[0048]
The correct note classification and binding mode is processed in the same manner as the above-described designated denomination binding mode except that the banknotes that have been determined to be damaged by the discrimination part 2 are conveyed to the open pocket 5 and accumulated.
In addition, in the damage classification and bundling mode, when the banknotes of one denomination of 10,000 yen, 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 2,000 yen are bundled by separating the correct and non-performing bills, the above-mentioned 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen are combined. It can be performed in the same manner as the bundling process of yen, and when a single denomination banknote is bundled separately into a regular note and a non-performing bill, the denomination and deduction note for each temporary denomination unit 6a to 6d, respectively. Therefore, every time 100 banknotes of any denomination are stacked, the taking-in and transporting of the banknotes are stopped, and the 100-banknotes are taken out by the transfer mechanism 9 and then the binding and the transporting are resumed. Process.
[0049]
According to the embodiment described above, a plurality of temporary stacking units are provided, banknotes are stacked in this temporary stacking unit according to denomination or damage, and a predetermined number of banknotes are sequentially transferred to the banknote binding unit by the transfer mechanism. Since the bundling process is performed, a plurality of types of banknotes due to denomination or damage can be bundled at a time. Also, by using one of a plurality of temporary stacking units as a spare, the stacking and bundling processes can be performed smoothly without interruption while changing the stacking position of the banknotes that have reached a certain number. In As a result, the bundling process can be executed efficiently.
[0050]
In addition, since a plurality of temporary stacking units are provided, different types of banknotes can be stacked and bundled in the plurality of temporary stacking units without specifying a denomination, thereby improving operability.
In addition, since a display unit is provided on the side of the temporary stacking unit and the accumulated denomination, loss and number of sheets are displayed for each temporary stacking unit, it is possible to check the stacking contents of banknotes at a glance. It is possible to eliminate mistakes when taking out from the temporary stacking unit.
[0051]
In addition to this, various usage modes described below are implemented in the operation of the apparatus.
For example, the final accumulation denomination and the type of damage are designated in advance for the temporary accumulation units 6a to 6d, and then input mouth When all the banknotes set to 1 are sent to the stacking mechanism 6 and stacked on two or more of the temporary stacking units 6a to 6b, they are transferred according to the above designation. mechanism 9 is controlled to change the accumulation location.
[0052]
By doing so, the following effects can be obtained.
In other words, it is highly possible that each denomination or damage banknote of the plurality of temporary stacking units is stacked at the end of the process, but it is highly possible that the above-described control is performed. When it is necessary to take out the remaining banknotes, it is not necessary for the staff to check which denominations or damage banknotes are stacked in which temporary stacking unit, and the banknotes to be taken can be mistaken for denominations or damages. Disappear.
[0053]
Also, the denomination and the type of damage to be bundled at the end of the process are designated in advance, and the designated type of banknote is transferred to the banknote bundling mechanism 10 even if the number of other stacked sheets is 100, that is, the set number. First, after all the transfer of banknotes other than those specified to the banknote binding mechanism 10 is completed, the banknotes are controlled to be transferred and bound to the banknote binding mechanism 10.
By doing so, the following effects can be obtained.
[0054]
For example, when a lot of 10,000 yen tickets are bundled, 5,000 yen tickets are accumulated in one of the temporary stacking units, and when the number of sheets reaches 100, The bundle of 5,000-yen coupons will be lost while only the bundle is being discharged to the discharge port 11, which may cause an accident in which different types of bills are mixed in the subsequent processing of the banknote bundle. Such an accident can be prevented by the control.
[0055]
In addition, an alarm device that emits an alarm by sound, light, etc. is provided, and the type of banknotes to be discharged after binding is designated in advance, and when the bundle of banknotes of the specified type is released, the alarm device alerts Control to issue an alarm for.
By doing this, for example, when a large amount of banknotes are classified as damages with a certain denomination, and bundle processing is performed, a bundle of small numbers of bad tickets is mixed in a bundle of large numbers of genuine paper Therefore, when a bundle of damaged tickets is released, a bundle of damaged tickets can be taken out by issuing an alarm as described above, and mixing of bundles can be prevented.
[0056]
In addition, a plurality of discharge ports 11 are provided, and a sorting unit is provided between the discharge port 11 and the banknote bundling mechanism 10, a type to be discharged to each discharge port 11 is designated, and a banknote bundle is sorted according to the designation. And control to discharge to each discharge port 11.
By controlling in this way, for example, when a large amount of banknotes is classified as damage in a certain denomination and bundled, it is possible to reliably separate a bundle of correct bills and a bundle of non-performing bills, thus preventing mixing of bundles. be able to.
[0057]
Moreover, when the banknote of the money type accumulated | stacked with respect to the temporary stacking parts 6a-6d is not designated, the banknote of the money type first confirmed in the discrimination part 2 among the banknotes stacked | stacked on the temporary stacking parts 6a-6d is banknote binding. Control is performed so as to accumulate in the temporary accumulation unit 6d at a position closest to the mechanism 10.
By doing so, the following effects can be obtained.
[0058]
For example, when stacking a plurality of denominations or losing bills in a temporary stacking unit, the distance of each temporary stacking unit is different from the banknote bundling mechanism. When stacking banknotes of many denominations when binding banknotes of denominations or banknotes whose denominations are initially determined at the discrimination unit, stacking them in the temporary stacking unit closest to the banknote binding mechanism, The processing speed can be improved.
[0059]
Moreover, when there are few denominations or denominations of banknotes accumulated in the temporary stacking units 6a to 6b, for example, when stacking banknotes of single denominations in good or bad, the first use is temporary. Since it is two of the stacking units 6a to 6b, the clamp unit 30 of the transfer mechanism 9 is controlled to be positioned at a position close to the place where the stacking unit 6a to 6b is used.
With this control, when 100 banknotes are stacked, the banknotes can be immediately gripped by the clamp unit 30 and transferred to the banknote binding mechanism 10, so that the processing speed can be increased.
[0060]
In addition, when stacking banknotes in two or more of the temporary stacking units 6a to 6b, the temporary stacking unit that reaches 100 sheets first is predicted from the values of the counters 51a to 51b, and the position corresponding to the temporary stacking unit The clamp unit 30 of the transfer mechanism 9 is controlled to wait.
Even with this control, when 100 banknotes are stacked, the banknotes can be immediately held by the clamp unit 30 and transferred to the banknote bundling mechanism 10, so that the processing speed can be increased.
[0061]
Moreover, when extracting the banknote integrated | stacked on temporary stacking part 6a-6d after completion | finish of a process in each mode, it controls so that the stacking board 21 and the press member 24 of each temporary stacking part 6a-6d are opened.
By doing in this way, it becomes easy to extract a banknote and operativity improves.
[0062]
In addition, when there is a type of banknote that does not need to be extracted after the processing is completed, the type of banknote is designated in advance by the operation display unit 13, and the banknote designated at the end of counting is held with the stacking plate 21 and the pressing member 24 closed. Control part to do.
By doing in this way, it is possible to prevent a banknote of a type that does not need to be extracted from being inadvertently extracted.
[0063]
Further And throw A place where banknotes are set multiple times at the entrance 1 for continuous bundling Throw Entrance 1 In When all the set banknotes are counted and fractions are accumulated in the temporary accumulation units 6a to 6d, the fraction for each temporary accumulation unit is stored in the storage unit 52 as the previous processing number, Throw The banknote jammed in the middle of counting the banknotes set at the entrance 1 and accumulating in the temporary accumulators 6a to 6d is taken out, and the banknotes accumulated in the temporary accumulators 6a to 6d are extracted, and after the recovery process, When the counting is resumed after setting one slot, the counting is stopped when the number of fractions for each temporary stacking unit stored in the storage unit 52 is reached, and control is performed so as to count as the current processing number from there. .
[0064]
In this way, the banknote count data in the previous process and the subsequent process can be managed reliably, so that when manual banknote jam occurs, manual management, data input processing by the operator, and the like are unnecessary. The banknote bundling process is continued as it is, and the banknote of the previous process and the banknote of the subsequent process can be bound as the same bundle.
[0065]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention An insertion slot for inserting banknotes, a discrimination section for discriminating the denomination and correctness of banknotes conveyed from the input slot, and according to the discrimination result of the discrimination section, the banknotes are classified by denomination and correctness A stacking mechanism having a plurality of temporary stacking units to stack, a transfer mechanism having a clamp unit for clamping a banknote, a banknote binding mechanism for binding a fixed number of banknotes received from the transfer mechanism with a tape, and discharging the banknote as a banknote bundle; The transfer mechanism positions the clamp part at a position corresponding to one of the plurality of temporary stacking parts, and pushes the clamp part from the position toward the temporary stacking part to be stacked on the temporary stacking part. Is clamped with a clamp part, and the clamp part after clamping is moved back to the position and then moved to the bill binding mechanism. The inserted banknotes are separated and transported one by one to discriminate between authenticity, denomination, correctness, etc. and counted. Temporary Temporarily accumulate in the accumulator, Temporary Since the banknotes collected by a certain number for each stacking part are sent to the binding part to perform the binding process, the effect of being able to bind a plurality of types of banknotes by denomination or damage at a time is obtained. It is done.
[0066]
Also, by using one of the multiple temporary stacking units as a spare, the stacking and bundling processes can be performed smoothly without interruption while changing the stacking position of the banknotes that have reached a certain number of times, so the processes are executed efficiently. The effect that it becomes possible to obtain is also acquired.
In addition, since there are a plurality of temporary stacking units, it is possible to stack different types of banknotes in a plurality of temporary stacking units without any particular designation of denomination, and to bundle them, thereby obtaining an effect of improving operability. It is done.
[0067]
Furthermore, since a display unit is provided on the side of the temporary stacking unit and the accumulated denomination, damage and number of sheets are displayed for each temporary stacking unit, it is possible to check the stacking contents of banknotes at a glance. There is also an effect that it becomes possible to eliminate an error when taking out from the temporary stacking unit.
