Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a banknote sorting and counting machine that takes out banknotes that are collectively stacked one by one and stores them in different storage sections for each denomination.

[Conventional technology and problems]

Conventional banknote sorting and counting machines of this type take out banknotes that have been stacked one by one, sort them by denomination, temporarily hold the classified banknotes by denomination, and then classify the banknotes processed once. After you put it on hold, it will automatically be stored in the storage section when it is finished. When the temporary storage section becomes full, the staff member has to manually remove the machine each time, which is inconvenient as the staff member must be present at the machine at all times.

In addition, since the banknotes in the temporary storage section are automatically stored in the storage section for each processing, the banknotes must be stored frequently in small-quantity sorting processing, which takes time.

[Means to solve the problem]

The banknote sorting and counting machine of the present invention includes: a take-out section that takes out banknotes stacked in bulk one by one; an identification section that identifies the authenticity, denomination, etc. of the bills taken out by the take-out section; and the identification section. Regarding the denominations identified in the denomination section, there is a sorting section that sorts the banknotes by denomination, a temporary holding section that temporarily holds the banknotes sorted by denomination in this sorting section by denomination, and a temporary holding section that sorts the banknotes by denomination. a fullness determination unit that determines whether or not the banknotes temporarily held in the storage unit are full; a storage unit that collectively stores banknotes stored by denomination in the temporary storage unit according to denomination; storage instruction means for inputting an instruction to store banknotes of all denominations in the storage section at once in the storage section; The banknotes held in the temporary storage unit are stored in the storage unit, and when a storage instruction is input by the storage instruction means, the banknotes held in the temporary storage unit for all denominations are stored in the storage unit. The device is characterized in that it includes a control section that is housed together.

[For production]

Only when the temporary storage section is full, only banknotes of that denomination are stored in the storage section, and all denominations are stored at once according to a storage instruction.

[Embodiments of the invention]

FIG. 1 shows the overall schematic structure of a main body of a banknote sorting and counting machine according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A banknote insertion slot 1 is provided on the upper front side of the counting machine body. There is a mounting table 2 on which banknotes to be counted are placed at the back of the banknote insertion slot 1, and an operator (operator) manually places a banknote bundle thereon. A feeding roller 3 slightly protrudes downward from the upper surface of the insertion slot 1 above the mounting table 2, and feeds out the stacked banknotes one by one from above.

The banknotes fed out by the feeding roller 3 are sent to the gate G.
Gate rollers 4 and 5 provided at X allow only one sheet to pass through, and the conveyor belt 6 conveys the sheet one by one.

The bills being conveyed one by one are checked by the identification unit 7 to determine whether they are genuine or false.
Identify the denomination, front and back, fit, thickness, chain, skew, tear, etc. As this identification technique itself, any known technique may be used, and since it is not a feature of the present invention, a detailed explanation will be omitted.

The conveyor belt 6 serves as a conveyor section MPM and is connected to a drive motor I-I.
It is driven by PM1 to l-(PM2 (Fig. 1(C)), and constitutes a conveyance system of a-q.
A1 to HA6 are also rotationally driven in synchronization with the conveyor belt 6.

The banknotes are classified and stored in the first to seventh storage units 81 to S7 according to the identification results in the identification unit 7. The types of banknotes stored in each storage section vary depending on the classification mode, as shown in the table of FIG. 6.

Between transport systems 0 to 10, banknotes are imaged by gate plates GB1 to GB5 according to the identification results and sent to each storage section.

The banknotes sent to the conveyance system by -p are sent downward by the impellers HA1 to HA6, which rotate counterclockwise in the drawing (by sandwiching the banknotes one by one between the blades), that is, in the temporary storage section 5).
11-5)-16 support plates P1 a-P6a, Pl b
- It is designed to be stacked on P6b. Support plate Pl
a~P6a.

Plb-P6b are normally urged upward by springs shown in FIG. 2(a) so as to contact the blades of the impellers HA1 to HA6, respectively. The banknotes conveyed by the blades hit the guide plate and are pushed downwards from the impeller, that is, by the support plates Pi a-P6a, P
lb-P6b, and as a result, the support plate gradually descends against the spring force, as shown in FIG. 2(b).

That is, the support plates Pla to P6a, P1 b to P6b are normally moved horizontally (indicated by solid lines) by the mechanism shown in FIG.
However, when the banknotes are lowered, they are opened to the left and right, allowing the banknotes to fall and be stored on the receiving plates R1 to R6 of the storage unit. The fallen banknotes are received and held by the receiving plates R1 to R7. The receiving plates R1 to R6 are driven by the pulse motor TPM and change their positions, but are initially located at the upper side and move downward depending on the amount of banknotes pushed into them. Receiver plate R1~
Sensors HEV1=HEV6 are used to control the position of R6. That is, the receiving plates R1 to R6 are connected to the sensor HEVI
The clutch (the appropriate one among TC11 to TCL6) is operated until the HEV6 no longer detects the top surface of the banknote, and the pulse motor TPM lowers the bill.

The seventh storage section S7 stores banknotes and the like that are identified as abnormal by the identification section 7. When the gate plate GB7 operates, the banknotes pass through the conveyance system q and are stored in the storage section S7. Further, the conveyance system d has a role of making subsequent banknotes wait after counting a predetermined number of banknotes.

Next, various optical sensors will be explained with reference to FIG. 1(b).

The banknote detector KSE detects that the banknotes placed on the mounting table 2 are being moved toward the gate rollers 4.5 by the feed roller 3, and the banknotes are moved downward from the gate GX of the banknote insertion slot 1. Light is emitted, and a -power receiver is provided on the back side of the back wall of the insertion slot 1 to receive the light.

The sensors GSE1 to GSE5 of the gate drive detection section are provided to detect the leading edge of the banknote being conveyed and thereby operate the gate plates GB1 to GB5, respectively, depending on the type of banknote.

Sensor of bill passing detection unit) (SEI to H8E6 detects the rear end of the bill passing through the gate plate GB1 to GB)

Sensors) (TE1 to HTE6 detect the presence or absence of banknotes placed on the receiving plates R1 to R6. Sensors HAN1 to 1-
(AN3 detects the presence or absence of banknotes in the conveyance system d. Sensor HAN4 detects the passage of banknotes to be stored in the seventh storage section S7, and returns the gate plate GB7. Sensor R8E detects the passage of banknotes to be stored in the seventh storage section S7. Detects the presence or absence of banknotes.Sensors LEVI to LEV6 detect the lowered position of Pla-Pea%P1b-P6b that supports when inserting the separator.Sensors TPLI to TPL6° and PL1 to
LPL6 and HPLI~l-IPL6 will be explained with reference to FIG. The sensors LSL1 to LSL6 are used to detect the lowest position when the receiving plates R1 to R6 are lowered to stop the lowering, and are also used to detect fullness.

Next, various driving sources will be explained with reference to FIG. 1(C).

The feeding section uses a pulse motor KPM to rotate a feeding roller 3 intermittently, thereby feeding out banknotes one by one. Also, during this rotation, the gate low 54
It also rotates.

The conveyance unit MPM rotates belts (indicated by 6) extending from conveyance systems a to q by conveyance drive motors HPM1 and HPM2. The impellers HAI to HA6 are also rotationally driven in synchronization. To do this, the transport drive motor HPM2
or a separate motor.

The gate drive unit consists of rotary solenoids or pulse motors GPM1 to GPM6, and gate plates GB1 to GB.

Further, the clutches TCL1 to TCL6 individually drive the receiving plates R1 to R6 up and down.

FIG. 3 shows the control system.

The arithmetic processing unit CPU operates according to the program stored in the program memory ROM and controls the entire counting process, and stores various data and flags in the data memory RAM as necessary. data memory RAM
The memory area within will be explained later with reference to FIG.

The operation input section CLINT is used to input various data, operation instructions, etc. when using the counter, and will be explained in detail later with reference to FIG. 4.

The data display section DISP displays various counting data, denomination data, etc.

Identification unit 7, transport unit MPM, feeding unit KPM, gate drive units GPMI to GPM6, clutches CL1 to CL6, storage drive unit TPM, banknote detection unit KSE, gate drive sensors GSE1 to GSE6, banknote passage sensor)-1
8E1~l-I S E T, pending banknote sensor 5SE
1 to 5SE7 have already been described with reference to FIG. 1, and are connected to the arithmetic processing unit CPU via the pass line BUS.

Next, the operation input section CUNT will be explained in detail with reference to FIG.

KPB is a denomination key and can specify values from $1 to $100.

KHO is a denomination determination off switch that prohibits denomination determination processing in the identification section. Note that instead of doing this, even if denomination determination processing is performed, the CPU may not process it as a denomination signal.

TK is a numeric keypad consisting of keys O'' to 9''. CLK is a clear 7 key, which is used to clear input from the numeric keypad TK.

MDS is a mode switch that is used to select and specify the mode, and allows you to select between classification batches and fitness/loss batches.For fitness/loss batches, it is also possible to select fitness/loss batches of the specified denomination by selecting and specifying the denomination key KPB. The modes are shown in the table of FIG.

SAK is a switch that is operated when the counted value of banknotes is converted to 1 fl gold value and displayed, and is used when one display in the data display section is used for both the number of banknotes and the amount. .

STP is a stop key, and when this is pressed, the classification process is stopped. It is used when banknotes become jammed in the conveyance system.

OKK is an OK (permission) key, which is used to transfer banknotes from the temporary storage section onto the receiving plate.

SAT is a start key, which is pressed to manually start the counter from 1 star.

Instead of starting with the start key SAT, the sensor KSE may detect that a banknote is placed on the placing table 2, and the process may be started automatically.

Next, the memory area of the data memory RAM will be explained with reference to FIG.

The buffer memory unit (BM) stores the number of banknotes (MBM) and amount (KBM) in units of 10 t for each denomination from 1 dollar to 100 dollars and the total value of these banknotes, and stores the number of banknotes (MBM) and amount (KBM) separately for each denomination from 1 dollar to 100 dollars and the total value of these banknotes, and also stores reject banknotes. Memorize the number of sheets. The rejected banknotes mentioned here include banknotes that are abnormally thick, consecutive, skewed, torn, etc., as well as reverse banknotes.

The main memory section (MM) has the number of sheets (MMM) and the amount (K).
The cumulative value of MM) is stored separately for each denomination from 1 dollar to 100 dollars and their total value, separately for fitness and loss. That is, when the permission key OKK is pressed after 10 counts are completed, the contents of the buffer memory section are added. When this addition is performed, the batsunoame 7ri part is cleared.

The batch count memory unit BT stores count values during batch processing.

The evacuation count memory section RV has already been fed out by the feeding section when the count value matches the set value, and the banknotes that have been more clearly identified than the banknotes whose count value matches the set value (therefore,
(retained in the evacuation passage).

The denomination specification flag (DFG) indicates that when a denomination is specified using the denomination key KPB, the denomination corresponding to the specified denomination is
1” (others remain as 0).

When a mode is designated by the mode switch MDS, the mode designation flag MFG becomes "1" corresponding to the designated mode.

BCM is a batch number memory, which stores the batch number entered using the numeric keypad TK during batch mode (classification batch, fit/failure batch).

KHF is the denomination determination prohibition flag and the denomination determination off switch K
Press HO to set.

IHF is a match flag, and when the number of coins matches in any type (denomination, fitness or loss) during batch processing, the value corresponding to that type becomes "1".

Next, the above counting operation will be explained with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 7 to 11.

FIG. 7 shows input processing from the operation input section, classification counting processing,
and shows a series of operations up to storage. First, to give an overview, 001-003 are mode specification processing, 004-006 are denomination specification processing, 007-009 are batch number specification processing, 010-011
is the start command process, and 012 to 014 is the classification counting process in each mode (No. 8.9).
(shown in the figure), 016 to 018 indicate addition and storage processing in each mode.

Each step will be explained in order below.

Select and input the classification batch and fitness/failure batch using the mode switch MDS on the operation input section. When input (001), for example, if "classification batch" is specified, all mode designation flags MFG in RAM are set to rOJ, and then (
002) Set the flag of the designated "classification batch" to "1" (003). Note that multiple modes cannot be specified at the same time. When no mode is specified,
That is, if the previously designated mode is to be continued, the process advances to step 007.

Next, if the denomination is specified by the denomination key KPB (004
) As in the case of the mode flag, all the denomination designation flags DFG are set to "0" (005), and then the flag for the designated denomination, for example, 10 dollars, is set to "1". This denomination specification process is valid only when the normal loss mode or the normal loss batch mode is specified. If the denomination is not specified, the process moves to step 007.

To classify a predetermined number of sheets, input the number using the numeric keypad TK when you want to process (batch processing). In this case also (0
07), first clear the contents of the batch number memory BGM (008) and then store the input value (009)
). If you do not enter the batch number (0
07) Move to step 010. The input of this batch number is also valid only when the classification batch mode and the fitness batch mode are specified.

Next, it is determined whether the start key SAT has been pressed. If not, return to step 001 and repeat steps 001.004,00 until the start key is pressed.
Repeat step 7. The reason for doing this is so that if correction is required for an operation that has already been input, the instruction can be changed by pressing the key to be corrected again without pressing the start key SAT.

When the start key SAT is pressed (010), the mounting table 2
Determine whether there are banknotes in <012). That is, it is determined whether the detection sensor KSE of the banknote detection section of the mounting table is detecting a banknote. If there are no bills, the machine will not start even if the start key is pressed. If there are banknotes, the feeding section K
P.M.

Activate the transport section MPM. That is, first, it is determined whether the mode designation flag MFG is set to "1" (012), and the first mode process (013) and second mode process (014) are executed depending on the specified mode. do. Here, the first mode is a classification batch mode, and the second mode is a fitness/loss batch mode. When the first mode or second mode processing is finished, the permission key OK is pressed.
is pressed (016), buffer memory section B
The count data of M is added to the main memory section MM (01
7), the erroneous buffer 7 memory section is reset (01
7). The contents of the main memory section are displayed on the data display section.

Then, store the banknotes (018). This storage is the first
This is done by performing the steps shown in Figure 0 for all storage units.

Next, referring to FIG. 8, the first step in step 013 of FIG.
Mode processing (classification batch mode) will be explained.

First, transport drive motor HPM1. The HPM2 is driven (101). Thereafter, the pulse motor KPM is driven (102), and the feeding roller 3 feeds out only one banknote at the lowest position from the stacked banknotes placed on the stacking cylinder 2 in the direction of the gate roller 4, and the conveyor belt 6 Transport to. Then, the identification unit 7 identifies the sent banknotes (103). Identification items include authenticity, denomination, front and back, thickness, chain, skew, tear, etc. (there are no defects). Then, when the back, abnormal thickness, chain, skew, or tear is detected (104), the gate plate GB7 is switched by the motor GB7 of the gate drive unit, and the banknote is determined to be abnormal and is sent to the seventh storage section 87 (reject pocket). transported to (
105).

If normal, batch counting memory unit BT of the identified denomination
(Since it is not necessary to distinguish between good and bad bills, one of them is used, for example, the memory area for "good bills.") The number of bills is increased by 1 (106). Store in the designated denomination storage area (
107). For example, as shown in column A of FIG. 6, bills are stored in each storage section according to each denomination, but if it is a 10 dollar bill, the sensor GSE4 of the gate drive detection section detects the tip of the 10 dollar bill. When this is detected, the motor GPM4 of the gate drive section is activated, the gate plate GB4 is rotated upward to the right, the ten dollar bills are conveyed toward the conveyance system n, and are stacked horizontally by the impeller HA4.

Next, it is determined whether the contents of the batch number setting memory BGM match the number data of the batch counting memory section for the corresponding denomination (for the identified banknote) (109).
. However, no match will be determined for other denominations. If they do not match, it is difficult to judge whether there are banknotes on the mounting table 2.12
1) If there is, (according to the banknote detection unit KSE), the process returns to step 103 and the banknotes are continuously fed out.

When the banknotes run out, the pulse motor KPM is stopped (1
22) Then, after a predetermined period of time, the transport drive motor HPM
1. HPM2 is stopped (123). This predetermined time is set as a time period until the last banknote is reliably classified.

Then, the first mode ends.

If the batch numbers match in step 109, the corresponding denomination match flag IHF is set to "1". Then - display the number. That is, a corresponding match display lamp (not shown) is turned on (110).

Then, the pulse motor KPM is temporarily stopped to stop feeding out the banknotes (111').

Even after the motor KPM is stopped, the already fed banknotes are conveyed and pass through the identification section. Therefore, the identification unit identifies the banknote (112), and if it is an abnormal banknote (11
3), the banknote is guided to the reject storage box (114), and if it is not an abnormal banknote, the contents of the evacuation count memory of the corresponding denomination are incremented by +1.
15), guided to the transport path d (116).

After a predetermined time, motor HPM1. HPM2 is stopped (117). As a result, several (usually about three) banknotes are held in the waiting path d. These banknotes are more easily paid out than the banknotes whose counts have been matched, and are stored in storage boxes of respective denominations in the next batch process.

Motor l-IPM1. After the HPM 2 stops, the operator manually inserts the separate plate into the temporary holding section corresponding to the denomination for which the match indicator lamp is lit (118). In this case, the clutches CL1 to CL6 of the denominations that match the count are turned on to drive the motor IKM1, and the upper surface of the banknotes held on the support plate blocks the light from the sensors LEV1 to LEV6 (sensors of the corresponding denominations). Lower the support plate until it stops moving (about the support plate position in Figure 1). This facilitates insertion of the separate plate by an attendant. When the clutch is turned off in response to the next start instruction, the support plate will rise due to the spring force. Then, for the matching denominations, the data in the batch counting memory section and the data in the buffer memory section are added, and the sum is stored in the buffer memory section. Thereafter, the batch count memory for the corresponding denomination is reset (119).

Next, temporary holding sections SH1 to S by denomination shown in Figure 2
For H6, any of the support plates P1 a-P6a, P
lb-P6b is lowered by stacked banknotes and sensor LP
It is detected by the corresponding sensor among the sensors 11 to LPL6 (125). Then, storage processing is performed (126). That is,
As shown in Fig. 10, for the detected denomination, only the corresponding clutches OLI to CL6 are turned on (30
1), Drive motor IKM1 (302>. As a result, when the support plate is lowered and detected by sensors HPL1 to HPL6 (304,), motor IKMI is stopped (305). After that, motor IKM2 is driven. (306), move the lever to the left as shown in the figure to open the support plate, and transfer the banknotes stacked there to the receiving plate R1.
- Drop and store on R6 (307).

Then, clutches CL1 to CL6 are turned off (308),
The support plate is raised by the spring force (309). On the other hand, if a banknote blocks the sensors HEV1 to HEV6, the clutches TC11 to TCL6 of the corresponding denomination are turned on and the motor TPM is driven to lower the stacked banknotes until they are no longer detected, so that the top surfaces of the stacked banknotes are all in the same position. I'll keep it.

Next, when the operator presses the start switch (127),
The coincidence mark is reset (128), and if there are banknotes on the conveyance path (standby path d) (129), those banknotes are sorted and stored (130°131, 132, 133). If there are banknotes on the loading table (136), the transport system mode MPM1
．． Drive MPM2 (137), then motor KP
M is driven (138) and the process moves to step 103 to continue counting.

If there are no banknotes on the mounting table in step 136 and (1
36), the next time they carry out compulsory detention (139), they will carry out compulsory detention (140). What is forced detention? Step 105
．． This is used to forcibly store the rejected banknotes in the seventh storage unit S7 in step 114.The operator takes out the rejected banknotes from the seventh storage unit S7 and visually sorts them into denominations (
(excluding counterfeit banknotes if any), insert each denomination into the insertion slot 1 and press the forced storage switch, specify the denomination for each denomination, and forcefully store the banknote in the storage section for that denomination. . In steps 104 and 113, since the back notes are rejected as "abnormal banknotes," they must be put into the respective denomination storage units from the reject storage unit. In addition, banknotes that are chained, have an abnormal thickness, or are skewed are forced to be accommodated because they are normal genuine banknotes.

FIG. 11 shows the control operation in the case of forced detention. First, when the forced detention switch is pressed (401)
, turn on the compulsory detention flag (402), hold the denomination selection switch (403), and switch the gate plate (any one of GPM1 to GPM5) for the denomination (403).
04).

Then, wait for the start switch to be pressed (40
5), motor HPM1. HPM2 and motor KPM
is turned on (407), and each time a banknote passes the recognition section, it is recognized (408). In the case of abnormal banknotes, (4
09), led to the reject storage section (410). If it is not an abnormal banknote (409), it is added to the buffer memory of the designated denomination by +1 (411) and guided to the storage section (412). The above operations (408 to 412) are continued until there are no more banknotes on the table (413), and when there are no more banknotes, the motor KPM is turned off (414), and then, after a predetermined time, the motor HPM1. H.P.M.
2 and the operating gate (any one of GPM1 to GPM5) is turned off (415).

After that, return to step 401 and press the receive switch OK.
When K is pressed (416), the compulsory detention flag is turned off (417), and the compulsory detention process ends.

Incidentally, in the above-mentioned forced accommodation, all the ejected banknotes may be put into the insertion slot 1 and fed out at once, the denomination is determined by the identification section, and all bills other than the designated denomination are excluded. .

Next, referring to FIG. 9, the second step of step 014 in FIG.
The mode processing (fit/loss mode, fit/loss batch mode) will be explained.

The feeding row 53 feeds out only one banknote at the lowest position from the stacked banknotes placed on the mounting table 2 in the direction of the gate roller 4 (201), and conveys it by the conveyor belt 6 (202).
). Then, the identification unit 7 identifies the sent banknotes (203).

Now, assuming that the fitness mode is specified, identification items such as fitness, authenticity, denomination, front and back, thickness, chain, skew, tear, etc. are identified. If the reverse, abnormal thickness, chain, skew, or tear is detected (204), the banknote is determined to be abnormal and is transported to the seventh storage section 87 (reject pocket) (205).

If it is normal, then it is determined whether or not the denomination has been specified by referring to the specified denomination flag (206>. If the denomination has been specified, whether the banknote is of the specified denomination or not. The determination is made with reference to the identification result in step 203 <207). For designated denominations,
Depending on whether it is a good note or an unfit note (208), the number of sheets is +IL (209, 210) in the corresponding buffer memory area.
) are respectively led to the correct bill storage section and the unfit bill storage section<(211゜2
12). If it is a different denomination, it will lead you to the different denomination storage section (213
).

If the denomination is not specified in step 206, regardless of whether the denomination is a good note or an unfit note),
+1 is added to each buffer memory section (20
9,210), leading to the corresponding storage section.

The memory area used in steps 209 and 210 is
If a denomination is specified, this is the memory area for the positive or loss of the specified denomination, and if no denomination is specified, this is the memory area for the total positive or loss.

The allocation of storage units is as shown in column B (when no denomination is specified) and column 0 (when a denomination is specified) in FIG. 6.

For example, if the front of the bill is a genuine bill (if the denomination is specified, then only the designated denomination is specified), when the sensor GSE4 or GSE5 of the gate drive detection unit detects the leading edge of this bill, the gate drive unit Activate the motor GPM4 or GPM5 to rotate the gate plate GB4 or GB5 as shown by the broken line to convey the banknotes to the conveyance system n or 0, and stack them horizontally using the impeller 1''A4 or HA5. let

The reason why two bins are assigned to the same type is so that when one becomes full, the other can be used.

The subsequent operations are similar to steps 109 to 140 in FIG. However, the difference is that in step 132, instead of leading to the denomination storage part, the money is led to the fitness classification storage part.

In the above explanation, it was stated that the "number of bills" of the corresponding type is updated each time a banknote is taken out in the buffer memory section of the data memory RAM and the main memory section, but the "denomination" is also updated automatically. Updated.・The total number of coins and denomination will also be updated. Furthermore, when adding the data in the buffer memory section to the main memory section, not only the number of sheets but also the amount is added.

[Modified example of the invention]

Incidentally, the arrangement order of the first to seventh storage sections 81 to S7, the structure of the temporary storage section, the shape of its support plate, receiving plate, butcher 1 separation piece, etc. are not limited to those of the above embodiment.

In the above embodiment, the seventh storage section S7 is assigned to store rejected banknotes, and since this is considered to have a small space, it is a storage section with a small capacity. It may be similar.

In addition, since the number of 2 dollar bills issued and circulated is extremely small, they will be sorted as abnormal banknotes (however, they will be counted separately in the memory), but if necessary, they will be stored separately for 2 dollar bills. A section may be provided.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, banknotes of denominations that are full in the temporary storage section are immediately stored in the storage section, so that the clerk does not need to instruct the banknotes to be stored one by one.

Further, when one processing is completed, all denominations can be stored in the storage section at once, which is convenient.
