また、制御部70には、表示部72、操作部74および記憶部76がそれぞれ接続されている。図1に示すように、表示部72および操作部74はそれぞれ筐体12の上面に設けられており、表示部72には紙幣処理装置10による紙幣の処理状況、より具体的には例えば各収納カセットに収納された紙幣の金種毎の枚数が表示されるようになっている。また、操作者は操作部74により制御部70に対して様々な指令を送ることができるようになっている。また、記憶部76には、紙幣処理装置10による紙幣の処理状況が記憶されるようになっている。
Further, a display unit 72, an operation unit 74, and a storage unit 76 are connected to the control unit 70, respectively. As shown in FIG. 1, the display unit 72 and the operation unit 74 are respectively provided on the upper surface of the housing 12, and the display unit 72 stores banknotes processed by the banknote processing apparatus 10, more specifically, for example, each storage. The number of banknotes stored in the cassette for each denomination is displayed. In addition, the operator can send various commands to the control unit 70 by the operation unit 74. In addition, the storage unit 76 stores the processing status of banknotes by the banknote processing apparatus 10.
また、制御部70にはインターフェース78が設けられており、このインターフェース78を介して制御部70はホストコンピュータ等の上位装置と信号の送受信を行うことができるようになっている。
Further, the control unit 70 is provided with an interface 78, and the control unit 70 can transmit and receive signals to and from a host device such as a host computer via the interface 78.
次に、上述のような構成からなる紙幣処理装置10の動作について説明する。なお、以下に示す紙幣処理装置10の動作は、制御部70が各構成要素を制御することにより行われる。
Next, the operation of the bill processing apparatus 10 having the above-described configuration will be described. In addition, operation | movement of the banknote processing apparatus 10 shown below is performed when the control part 70 controls each component.
最初に、紙幣処理装置10への紙幣の入金処理について説明する。紙幣の入金処理を行う際には、まず、紙幣処理装置10における入出金口20のシャッター機構22を開き、操作者がバラ紙幣Sの束を入出金口20に投入する。そして、シャッター機構22を閉じると、入出金口20に投入されたバラ紙幣Sは紙幣繰出機構21により1枚ずつ搬送部30に繰り出される。紙幣繰出機構21により搬送部30に繰り出された紙幣はループ形状の搬送路32に搬送され、識別部31によりその金種や正損、真偽等の識別が行われる。識別部31により正常な紙幣ではないリジェクト紙幣であると識別された紙幣や、識別部31により識別することができなかった紙幣は、搬送部30から入金リジェクト部24に送られ、この入金リジェクト部24で集積される。一方、識別部31により正常な紙幣であると識別された紙幣は、一時保留用収納カセット42に対応する分岐箇所35(図3における一番右側の分岐箇所35)においてループ形状の搬送路32から分岐部材36により分岐搬送路34に送られ、一時保留用収納カセット42に搬送されることとなる。この一時保留用収納カセット42において、ループ形状の搬送路32から分岐搬送路34を介して送られた紙幣が積層状態で一時的に保留される。
First, banknote depositing processing to the banknote processing apparatus 10 will be described. When performing banknote deposit processing, first, the shutter mechanism 22 of the deposit / withdrawal port 20 in the banknote processing apparatus 10 is opened, and the operator puts a bundle of loose banknotes S into the deposit / withdrawal port 20. When the shutter mechanism 22 is closed, the banknotes S inserted into the deposit / withdrawal port 20 are fed one by one to the transport unit 30 by the bill feeding mechanism 21. The banknotes fed out to the transport unit 30 by the banknote feeding mechanism 21 are transported to the loop-shaped transport path 32, and the identification unit 31 identifies the denomination, correctness, authenticity, and the like. A banknote identified as a reject banknote that is not a normal banknote by the identification unit 31 or a banknote that could not be identified by the identification unit 31 is sent from the transport unit 30 to the deposit rejection unit 24, and this deposit rejection unit. 24. On the other hand, the banknotes identified as normal banknotes by the identification unit 31 are transferred from the loop-shaped transport path 32 at the branch point 35 (the rightmost branch point 35 in FIG. 3) corresponding to the temporary storage cassette 42. It is sent to the branch conveyance path 34 by the branch member 36 and is conveyed to the temporary storage cassette 42. In the temporary storage cassette 42, banknotes sent from the loop-shaped transport path 32 via the branch transport path 34 are temporarily stored in a stacked state.
その後、紙幣の入金処理の確定が行われると、一時保留用収納カセット42に一時的に保留された紙幣は識別部31を通り、金種別に各収納カセット40に送られる。この際に、一時保留用収納カセット42からループ形状の搬送路32に紙幣が一旦戻され、このループ形状の搬送路32で搬送される紙幣が各分岐部材36により各収納カセット40に金種別に振り分けられることにより、ループ形状の搬送路32から各分岐搬送路34を介して各収納カセット40に紙幣が送られ、紙幣が積層状態で金種別に各収納カセット40に収納されることとなる。
After that, when the banknote deposit process is confirmed, the banknote temporarily held in the temporary storage cassette 42 passes through the identification unit 31 and is sent to each storage cassette 40 by denomination. At this time, the banknotes are temporarily returned from the temporary storage cassette 42 to the loop-shaped transport path 32, and the banknotes transported in the loop-shaped transport path 32 are denominated in the respective storage cassettes 40 by the branch members 36. By sorting, banknotes are sent from the loop-shaped transport path 32 to the respective storage cassettes 40 via the branch transport paths 34, and the banknotes are stored in the respective storage cassettes 40 in denomination in a stacked state.
次に、紙幣処理装置10からのバラ紙幣の出金処理について説明する。なお、本実施の形態の紙幣処理装置10においては、バラ紙幣の出金処理を行うにあたり、筐体12内にあるバラ紙幣を入出金口20および帯封紙幣出金口60のうちどちらの出金口により筐体12の外部に投出するかを選択することができるようになっている。紙幣処理装置10からのバラ紙幣の出金処理について、図13に示すフローチャートを用いてより詳細に説明する。
Next, the withdrawal process of the loose banknote from the banknote processing apparatus 10 will be described. In addition, in the banknote processing apparatus 10 of this Embodiment, when performing the payment | withdrawal process of a rose banknote, the withdrawal of the rose banknote in the housing | casing 12 is any of the deposit / withdrawal port 20 and the banded banknote dispensing port 60. It is possible to select whether or not to project outside the housing 12 by the mouth. With reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 13, the withdrawal process for a loose banknote from the banknote processing apparatus 10 will be described in more detail.
バラ紙幣の出金処理を行うにあたり、操作者は、操作部74により、バラ紙幣を、バラ紙幣の入出金口20および帯封紙幣出金口60のうちどちらの出金口により筐体12の外部に投出するかを選択する(図13のSTEP1)。このことにより、制御部70において、バラ紙幣を入出金口20および帯封紙幣出金口60のうちどちらの出金口により筐体12の外部に投出するかが設定される。なお、操作者が操作部74により選択を行う代わりに、上位装置からインターフェース78を介して、バラ紙幣を入出金口20および帯封紙幣出金口60のうちどちらの出金口により筐体12の外部に投出するかの指令が制御部70に送られるようになっていてもよい。
In performing the withdrawal process of the loose banknotes, the operator uses the operation unit 74 to remove the bulky banknotes from the depositing / dispensing port 20 for the bulky banknotes or the withdrawal port 60 for the banded banknotes. Is selected (STEP 1 in FIG. 13). Thus, in the control unit 70, it is set which one of the depositing / dispensing port 20 and the banded banknote dispensing / dispensing port 60 is used for dispensing the loose banknotes to the outside of the housing 12. In addition, instead of the operator selecting with the operation unit 74, the banknotes are transferred from the higher-level device via the interface 78 by either the withdrawal port 20 or the banded banknote dispensing port 60. A command as to whether or not to project to the outside may be sent to the control unit 70.
ここで、制御部70において、バラ紙幣を、バラ紙幣の入出金口20により筐体12の外部に投出することが設定された場合には(図13のSTEP2の「YES」)、各収納カセット40に収納された紙幣が紙幣繰出機構41により搬送部30に1枚ずつ繰り出され、搬送部30に繰り出された紙幣は識別部31により識別が行われる(図13のSTEP3)。そして、正常な紙幣であると識別された紙幣は搬送部30から入出金口20に1枚ずつ送られ、この入出金口20でバラ紙幣Sが積層状態に集積される(図13のSTEP4)。一方、識別部31により識別することができなかった紙幣や、重なって搬送されたり斜行して搬送されたりした紙幣は、搬送部30から出金リジェクト部26に送られ、この出金リジェクト部26で集積される。
Here, in the control unit 70, when it is set to throw the loose banknote out of the housing 12 by the deposit / withdrawal port 20 of the loose banknote ("YES" in STEP2 of FIG. 13), each storage The banknotes stored in the cassette 40 are fed one by one to the transport unit 30 by the banknote feeding mechanism 41, and the banknotes fed to the transport unit 30 are identified by the identification unit 31 (STEP 3 in FIG. 13). And the banknote identified as a normal banknote is sent one by one to the deposit / withdrawal port 20 from the conveyance part 30, and the rose banknote S is integrated | stacked on this deposit / withdrawal port 20 in the lamination | stacking state (STEP4 of FIG. 13). . On the other hand, banknotes that could not be identified by the identification unit 31 and banknotes that were conveyed in a superimposed manner or skewed were sent from the conveyance unit 30 to the withdrawal rejection unit 26, and this withdrawal rejection unit 26.
その後、入出金口20のシャッター機構22が開くことにより、操作者は入出金口20に集積されたバラ紙幣Sの束を取り出すことができるようになる(図13のSTEP5)。
Thereafter, when the shutter mechanism 22 of the deposit / withdrawal port 20 is opened, the operator can take out a bundle of loose banknotes S accumulated at the deposit / withdrawal port 20 (STEP 5 in FIG. 13).
ここで、上述のような、バラ紙幣Sを入出金口20により筐体12の外部に投出する動作を行う際に、帯封紙幣Tを帯封紙幣出金口60により筐体12の外部に投出する動作を並行して行うことができる。帯封紙幣Tを帯封紙幣出金口60により筐体12の外部に投出する動作の詳細については後述する。
Here, when performing the operation | movement which throws out the banknote S to the exterior of the housing | casing 12 by the deposit / withdrawal port 20 as mentioned above, the banded banknote T is thrown out of the housing | casing 12 by the banded banknote dispensing port 60. The operations can be performed in parallel. The detail of the operation | movement which throws out the banded banknote T to the exterior of the housing | casing 12 by the banded banknote withdrawal port 60 is mentioned later.
一方、制御部70において、バラ紙幣を帯封紙幣出金口60により筐体12の外部に投出することが設定された場合には(図13のSTEP2の「NO」)、各収納カセット40に収納された紙幣が紙幣繰出機構41により収納カセット40から搬送部30に1枚ずつ繰り出され、搬送部30に繰り出された紙幣は識別部31により識別が行われる。そして、正常な紙幣であると識別された紙幣は搬送部30の上部にある帯封部50に搬送される(図13のSTEP6)。より具体的には、搬送部30から一時保留ステージ51上に紙幣が1枚ずつ送られ、この一時保留ステージ51上で複数の紙幣が積層状態で集積される。なお、識別部31により識別することができなかった紙幣や、重なって搬送されたり斜行して搬送されたりした紙幣は、搬送部30から出金リジェクト部26に送られ、この出金リジェクト部26で集積される。
On the other hand, when it is set in the control unit 70 to throw out the banknotes to the outside of the housing 12 through the banded banknote outlet 60 (“NO” in STEP 2 in FIG. 13), The stored banknotes are fed one by one from the storage cassette 40 to the transport unit 30 by the banknote feeding mechanism 41, and the banknotes fed to the transport unit 30 are identified by the identification unit 31. And the banknote identified as a normal banknote is conveyed by the banding part 50 in the upper part of the conveyance part 30 (STEP6 of FIG. 13). More specifically, banknotes are sent one by one from the transport unit 30 onto the temporary holding stage 51, and a plurality of banknotes are stacked in a stacked state on the temporary holding stage 51. Note that banknotes that could not be identified by the identification unit 31 or banknotes that were transported in an overlapping manner or skewed were sent from the transport unit 30 to the withdrawal rejection unit 26, and this withdrawal rejection unit 26.
その後、一時保留ステージ51上にある積層状態の複数のバラ紙幣の束S´は、搬送アーム52によって、束ガイド部材58でバラ紙幣の端部の広がりを防止するために押さえられながら一括して搬送され、帯封紙幣出金口60に直接送られる(図13のSTEP7)。より具体的には、搬送アーム52から出金口ステージ61にバラ紙幣の束S´が受け渡され、その後出金口ステージ61が上昇することによりこの出金口ステージ61から各爪部材66上にバラ紙幣の束S´が受け渡され、バラ紙幣の束S´は出金口ステージ61の各爪部材66上に集積されることとなる。
After that, the bundle S ′ of the plurality of stacked banknotes on the temporary holding stage 51 is collectively pressed by the transport arm 52 to prevent the end of the banknotes from spreading by the bundle guide member 58. It is conveyed and sent directly to the banded banknote withdrawal port 60 (STEP 7 in FIG. 13). More specifically, the bundle S 'of loose banknotes is delivered from the transfer arm 52 to the withdrawal port stage 61, and then the withdrawal port stage 61 is moved upward so that the nail members 66 are moved from the withdrawal port stage 61. A bundle of rose banknotes S ′ is delivered to the banknotes, and the bundle of rose banknotes S ′ is accumulated on each claw member 66 of the dispensing port stage 61.
その後、シャッター機構62が開くことにより、操作者は帯封紙幣出金口60の各爪部材66上にあるバラ紙幣の束S´を一括して取り出すことができるようになる(図13のSTEP8)。
Thereafter, when the shutter mechanism 62 is opened, the operator can collectively take out the bundle S ′ of loose banknotes on each claw member 66 of the banded banknote outlet 60 (STEP 8 in FIG. 13). .
なお、紙幣処理装置10においてバラ紙幣の出金処理を行うにあたり、入出金口20および帯封紙幣出金口60の両方の出金口を用いて、バッチ方式の紙幣の出金処理を行うこともできる。バッチ方式の紙幣の出金処理とは、筐体12内にあるバラ紙幣を筐体12の外部に投出する際に、まず、入出金口20および帯封紙幣出金口60のうち一方の出金口にバラ紙幣を送り、この一方の出金口に所定の枚数のバラ紙幣が送られたら他方の出金口に残りのバラ紙幣を送るような処理のことをいう。そして、他方の出金口にバラ紙幣を送っている間に、操作者は一方の出金口からバラ紙幣の束を取り出す。その後、他方の出金口に所定の枚数のバラ紙幣が送られたら一方の出金口に残りのバラ紙幣が送られるようになる。バッチ方式の紙幣の出金処理においては、所定の枚数ずつバラ紙幣が入出金口20および帯封紙幣出金口60に交互に送られることとなる。
In addition, when performing the banknote banknote withdrawal process in the banknote handling apparatus 10, the batch banknote withdrawal process may be performed using both the banknote withdrawal slot 20 and the banded banknote withdrawal slot 60. it can. With the batch-type banknote dispensing process, when a loose banknote in the housing 12 is thrown out of the housing 12, first, one of the deposit / withdrawal port 20 and the banded banknote dispensing port 60 is withdrawn. This refers to a process in which loose bills are sent to a cash outlet, and when a predetermined number of rose bills are sent to one withdrawal port, the remaining rose bills are sent to the other withdrawal port. And while sending the rose banknote to the other withdrawal opening, an operator takes out the bundle of rose banknotes from one withdrawal opening. After that, when a predetermined number of loose banknotes are sent to the other withdrawal port, the remaining loose banknotes are sent to one withdrawal port. In the batch-type banknote dispensing process, a predetermined number of loose banknotes are alternately sent to the deposit / withdrawal port 20 and the banded banknote dispensing port 60.
次に、紙幣処理装置10からの帯封紙幣の出金処理について説明する。帯封紙幣の出金処理を行う際に、各収納カセット40に収納された紙幣が紙幣繰出機構41により収納カセット40から搬送部30に1枚ずつ繰り出され、搬送部30に繰り出された紙幣は識別部31により識別が行われる。そして、正常な紙幣であると識別された紙幣は搬送部30の上部にある帯封部50に搬送される。より具体的には、搬送部30から一時保留ステージ51上に紙幣が1枚ずつ送られ、この一時保留ステージ51上で複数の紙幣が積層状態で集積される。なお、識別部31により識別することができなかった紙幣や、重なって搬送されたり斜行して搬送されたりした紙幣は、搬送部30から出金リジェクト部26に送られ、この出金リジェクト部26で集積される。その後、一時保留ステージ51上にある積層状態の複数のバラ紙幣の束S´は、搬送アーム52によって、束ガイド部材58でバラ紙幣の端部の広がりを防止するために押さえられながら一括して搬送される。
Next, the withdrawal process of the banded banknote from the banknote processing apparatus 10 will be described. When performing the withdrawal process of the banded banknote, the banknotes stored in each storage cassette 40 are fed out one by one from the storage cassette 40 to the transport unit 30 by the banknote feeding mechanism 41, and the banknotes fed to the transport unit 30 are identified. Identification is performed by the unit 31. And the banknote identified as a normal banknote is conveyed by the banding part 50 in the upper part of the conveyance part 30. FIG. More specifically, banknotes are sent one by one from the transport unit 30 onto the temporary holding stage 51, and a plurality of banknotes are stacked in a stacked state on the temporary holding stage 51. Note that banknotes that could not be identified by the identification unit 31 or banknotes that were transported in an overlapping manner or skewed were sent from the transport unit 30 to the withdrawal rejection unit 26, and this withdrawal rejection unit 26. After that, the bundle S ′ of the plurality of stacked banknotes on the temporary holding stage 51 is collectively pressed by the transport arm 52 to prevent the end of the banknotes from spreading by the bundle guide member 58. Be transported.
その後、搬送アーム52は上部札締め部材53と下部札締め部材54との間の位置に移動する。そして、搬送アーム52上にあるバラ紙幣の束S´に対して帯封紙供給部57から帯封紙が供給され、バラ紙幣の束S´が帯封紙で巻かれる。なお、帯封紙供給部57から帯封紙が供給される際に、この帯封紙に対して印字部67により日付やシリアルナンバー等の印字が行われる。その後、帯封紙で巻かれたバラ紙幣の束S´は、上部札締め部材53および下部札締め部材54により上下方向から挟圧されるとともに、ヒータ56により加熱させられる。このことにより、帯封紙によってバラ紙幣の束S´の帯封処理(結束処理)が行われ、帯封紙幣Tが形成される。
Thereafter, the transfer arm 52 moves to a position between the upper bill fastening member 53 and the lower bill fastening member 54. Then, the banded paper is supplied from the banding paper supply unit 57 to the bundle S ′ of loose banknotes on the transport arm 52, and the bundle S ′ of bulky banknotes is wound with the banding paper. In addition, when the banding paper is supplied from the banding paper supply unit 57, the printing unit 67 prints the date, serial number, and the like on the banding paper. Thereafter, the bundle S ′ of the banknotes wound with the banding paper is sandwiched between the upper bill fastening member 53 and the lower bill fastening member 54 in the vertical direction and heated by the heater 56. As a result, the bundling process (binding process) of the bundle S ′ of the banknotes is performed by the banding paper, and the banding banknote T is formed.
その後、搬送アーム52により帯封紙幣がスタンプ55に送られ、このスタンプ55によって帯封紙幣Tの帯封紙に対して銀行名等の印字が行われる。
Thereafter, the banded banknote is sent to the stamp 55 by the transport arm 52, and the bank name or the like is printed on the banded paper of the banded banknote T by the stamp 55.
その後、帯封紙幣Tは帯封部50から帯封紙幣出金口60に送られ、この帯封紙幣出金口60の各爪部材66上に集積させられる。ここで、シャッター機構62が帯封紙幣出金口60を閉じた状態で、帯封紙幣出金口60の各爪部材66上には複数の束の帯封紙幣Tを集積させることができるようになっている。
Thereafter, the band-bound banknote T is sent from the band-wrapping portion 50 to the band-bound banknote dispensing port 60 and is accumulated on each claw member 66 of the band-bound banknote dispensing port 60. Here, in a state where the shutter mechanism 62 closes the banded banknote dispensing port 60, a plurality of bundles of banded banknotes T can be accumulated on each claw member 66 of the banded banknote dispensing port 60. Yes.
帯封部50により帯封が行われた帯封紙幣Tを、帯封紙幣出金口60の各爪部材66上に集積させる方法について図10を用いてより詳細に説明する。
A method for accumulating the banded banknote T, which has been banded by the banding section 50, on each claw member 66 of the banded banknote dispensing port 60 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.
一例として、図10(a)に示すように帯封紙幣出金口60の各爪部材66上に既に1つの帯封紙幣Tが載置されているような状態において、搬送アーム52により帯封部50から更に1つの帯封紙幣Tが帯封紙幣出金口60に搬送される場合について説明する。この際に、出金口ステージ61は帯封紙幣出金口60の下部に位置している。図10(a)に示すように、帯封紙幣Tが載置された搬送アーム52は、出金口ステージ61の側壁部61aよりも上方かつガイド部材63よりも下方の高さレベルにおいて出金口ステージ61の上方の空間に進入する。
As an example, as shown in FIG. 10A, in the state where one banded banknote T has already been placed on each claw member 66 of the banded banknote outlet 60, the transport arm 52 removes the banded section 50 from the banding section 50. Furthermore, the case where one banded banknote T is conveyed to the banded banknote withdrawal port 60 is demonstrated. At this time, the withdrawal port stage 61 is located below the banded banknote dispensing port 60. As shown in FIG. 10 (a), the transfer arm 52 on which the banded bill T is placed has a dispensing port at a height level above the side wall 61 a of the dispensing port stage 61 and below the guide member 63. Enter the space above the stage 61.
その後、図10(b)に示すように、搬送アーム52が出金口ステージ61の底部の近傍の位置まで下降し、搬送アーム52の上アーム部分52aが上方へ移動する。この際に、図8に示すように、搬送アーム52は出金口ステージ61の左右一対の側壁部61aの間の空間を通過する。そして、図10(c)に示すように、搬送アーム52が図10(b)の右方に移動して出金口ステージ61の上方の空間から退避する。ここで、搬送アーム52が出金口ステージ61の上方の空間から退避する際に、この搬送アーム52に載置された帯封紙幣Tは側壁部61aに引っ掛かり、搬送アーム52が退避した後にこの帯封紙幣Tは出金口ステージ61上に引き渡されることとなる(図10(c)参照)。
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10B, the transfer arm 52 descends to a position near the bottom of the dispensing port stage 61, and the upper arm portion 52a of the transfer arm 52 moves upward. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, the transfer arm 52 passes through the space between the pair of left and right side wall portions 61 a of the dispensing port stage 61. Then, as shown in FIG. 10C, the transfer arm 52 moves to the right in FIG. 10B and retracts from the space above the dispensing port stage 61. Here, when the transfer arm 52 is retracted from the space above the dispensing port stage 61, the banded bill T placed on the transfer arm 52 is caught by the side wall portion 61a. The banknote T will be handed over the withdrawal port stage 61 (see FIG. 10C).
そして、帯封紙幣Tが搬送アーム52から出金口ステージ61に引き渡された後、図10(d)に示すように、出金口ステージ61が上昇する。出金口ステージ61が上昇すると、この出金口ステージ61に載置された帯封紙幣Tは図10(d)に示すように各爪部材66に接触するが、出金口ステージ61が図10(d)に示すような状態から更に上昇すると、図10(e)に示すように、出金口ステージ61上の帯封紙幣Tが各爪部材66を上方に押し上げ、軸66aを中心として各爪部材66を上方に回動させる。そして、出金口ステージ61が更に上昇すると、図10(f)に示すように、各爪部材66はほぼ鉛直方向上方を向くよう帯封紙幣Tにより回動させられ、最終的には、各爪部材66上に元々あった帯封紙幣Tと、出金口ステージ61上の帯封紙幣Tとが重ね合わせられることとなる。
Then, after the banded banknote T is delivered from the transport arm 52 to the withdrawal port stage 61, the withdrawal port stage 61 ascends as shown in FIG. When the dispensing port stage 61 rises, the banded bill T placed on the dispensing port stage 61 comes into contact with each claw member 66 as shown in FIG. When it further rises from the state shown in (d), as shown in FIG. 10 (e), the banded bills T on the dispensing port stage 61 push up the respective claw members 66 upward, and each claw about the shaft 66a. The member 66 is rotated upward. When the dispensing port stage 61 is further raised, as shown in FIG. 10 (f), each claw member 66 is rotated by the banded banknote T so as to face substantially upward in the vertical direction. The banded banknote T originally on the member 66 and the banded banknote T on the dispensing port stage 61 are superposed.
図10(f)に示すように、各爪部材66上に元々あった帯封紙幣Tと、搬送アーム52により新たに帯封紙幣出金口60に送られた帯封紙幣Tとが出金口ステージ61上で重ね合わせられ、更に出金口ステージ61が各爪部材66よりも上昇し、出金口ステージ61が各爪部材66から離間すると、各爪部材66はそれぞれ軸66aを中心として下方に回動し、これらの爪部材66は略水平方向に延びる状態に戻る。その後、出金口ステージ61は下降する。このことにより、図10(g)に示すように、複数の束の帯封紙幣Tが、各爪部材66上に集積されることとなる。なお、帯封紙幣出金口60の上部において出金口ステージ61と対向する位置に規制部材68が設けられているので、この規制部材68により、帯封紙幣Tの上方への動きが規制される。このことにより、各爪部材66上に帯封紙幣Tを下方から集積させる際に、規制部材68によって帯封紙幣の上方への膨らみが規制されるので、新券の帯封紙幣よりも厚さが大きくなりがちな流通紙幣の帯封紙幣は厚さ方向に圧縮されることとなる。このことにより、所定の束数の帯封紙幣を確実に各爪部材66上に集積させることができる。
As shown in FIG. 10 (f), the banded banknote T originally on each claw member 66 and the banded banknote T newly sent to the banded banknote dispensing port 60 by the transport arm 52 are a dispensing port stage 61. When the dispensing port stage 61 rises above the claw members 66 and is separated from the claw members 66, the claw members 66 rotate downward about the shafts 66a. The claw members 66 return to a state of extending in a substantially horizontal direction. Thereafter, the withdrawal port stage 61 is lowered. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 10G, a plurality of bundles of bundled banknotes T are accumulated on each claw member 66. In addition, since the regulating member 68 is provided in the position facing the dispensing port stage 61 in the upper part of the banded banknote dispensing slot 60, the upward movement of the banded banknote T is regulated by the regulating member 68. As a result, when the banded banknotes T are accumulated on the respective claw members 66 from below, the regulating member 68 restricts the upward bulging of the banded banknotes, so that the thickness becomes larger than the banded banknote of the new ticket. Tendency banknotes that tend to be distributed are compressed in the thickness direction. Thus, a predetermined number of bundled banknotes can be reliably accumulated on each claw member 66.
その後、シャッター機構62が開くことにより、操作者は帯封紙幣出金口60の各爪部材66上にある複数の束の帯封紙幣Tを一括して取り出すことができるようになる。
Thereafter, when the shutter mechanism 62 is opened, the operator can take out a plurality of bundles of the banded banknotes T on the claw members 66 of the banded banknote outlet 60 in a lump.
なお、紙幣処理装置10において帯封紙幣の出金処理を行うにあたり、帯封部50により紙幣の帯封を行う際に、帯封部50は所定枚数(例えば、100枚)ごとに紙幣の帯封を行うようになっている。このため、搬送部30により一時保留ステージ51に複数のバラ紙幣が送られた後、帯封部50により紙幣の帯封を行ったときに、所定枚数に満たないような端数の枚数(例えば、1~99枚)の紙幣が一時保留ステージ51上に残る場合がある。具体的には、紙幣処理装置10において帯封紙幣の出金処理を行うにあたり、例えば250枚の紙幣が搬送部30により一時保留ステージ51に送られた場合、帯封部50により2つの帯封紙幣Tが形成されるが、50枚のバラ紙幣が一時保留ステージ51上に残ることとなる。
In addition, when performing the withdrawal processing of the banded banknote in the banknote processing apparatus 10, when the banding part 50 performs the banding of the banknote, the banding part 50 performs the banding of the banknote every predetermined number (for example, 100 sheets). It has become. For this reason, when a plurality of loose banknotes are sent to the temporary holding stage 51 by the transport unit 30 and then the banknotes are banded by the banding unit 50, the number of fractions is less than a predetermined number (for example, 1 to 1). 99) banknotes may remain on the temporary holding stage 51. Specifically, when performing the withdrawal processing of the banded banknote in the banknote processing apparatus 10, for example, when 250 banknotes are sent to the temporary holding stage 51 by the transport unit 30, two banded banknotes T are formed by the banding unit 50. Although formed, 50 loose banknotes will remain on the temporary holding stage 51.
一時保留ステージ51上に残った端数の枚数のバラ紙幣の束S´は、搬送アーム52によって、束ガイド部材58でバラ紙幣の端部の広がりを防止するために押さえられながら一括して搬送され、帯封紙幣出金口60に直接送られる。帯封紙幣出金口60の各爪部材66上に既に帯封紙幣Tが載置されているような状態において、搬送アーム52により帯封紙幣出金口60にバラ紙幣の束S´が送られたときの動作について図11を用いてより詳細に説明する。
The fractional number of loose banknote bundles S ′ remaining on the temporary holding stage 51 are conveyed in a batch while being held down by the conveyance arm 52 by the bundle guide member 58 in order to prevent the edge of the loose banknotes from spreading. , It is sent directly to the banded banknote outlet 60. When a bundle of rose banknotes S ′ is sent to the banded banknote dispensing port 60 by the transport arm 52 in a state where the banded banknote T is already placed on each claw member 66 of the banded banknote dispensing port 60. Will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
一例として、図11(a)に示すように帯封紙幣出金口60の各爪部材66上に既に2つの帯封紙幣Tが載置されているような状態において、搬送アーム52によりバラ紙幣の束S´が帯封紙幣出金口60に搬送される場合について説明する。この際に、出金口ステージ61は帯封紙幣出金口60の下部に位置している。図11(a)に示すように、バラ紙幣の束S´が載置された搬送アーム52は、出金口ステージ61の側壁部61aよりも上方かつガイド部材63よりも下方の高さレベルにおいて出金口ステージ61の上方の空間に進入する。
As an example, a bundle of loose banknotes is conveyed by the transport arm 52 in a state where two banded banknotes T are already placed on each claw member 66 of the banded banknote dispensing port 60 as shown in FIG. A case where S ′ is conveyed to the banded banknote withdrawal port 60 will be described. At this time, the withdrawal port stage 61 is located below the banded banknote dispensing port 60. As shown in FIG. 11A, the transport arm 52 on which the bundle S ′ of loose banknotes is placed is at a height level above the side wall 61 a of the dispensing port stage 61 and below the guide member 63. Enter the space above the outlet stage 61.
その後、図11(b)に示すように、搬送アーム52が出金口ステージ61の底部の近傍の位置まで下降し、搬送アーム52の上アーム部分52aが上方へ移動する。この際に、搬送アーム52は出金口ステージ61の左右一対の側壁部61aの間の空間を通過する。そして、図11(c)に示すように、搬送アーム52が図11(b)の右方に移動して出金口ステージ61の上方の空間から退避する。ここで、搬送アーム52が出金口ステージ61の上方の空間から退避する際に、この搬送アーム52に載置されたバラ紙幣の束S´は側壁部61aに引っ掛かり、搬送アーム52が退避した後にこのバラ紙幣の束S´は出金口ステージ61上に引き渡されることとなる(図11(c)参照)。
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 11B, the transfer arm 52 descends to a position near the bottom of the dispensing port stage 61, and the upper arm portion 52a of the transfer arm 52 moves upward. At this time, the transfer arm 52 passes through the space between the pair of left and right side wall portions 61 a of the dispensing port stage 61. Then, as shown in FIG. 11C, the transfer arm 52 moves to the right in FIG. 11B and retreats from the space above the dispensing port stage 61. Here, when the transport arm 52 is retracted from the space above the dispensing port stage 61, the bundle S ′ of loose bills placed on the transport arm 52 is caught by the side wall portion 61a, and the transport arm 52 is retracted. Later, the bundle S ′ of the banknotes is delivered onto the dispensing port stage 61 (see FIG. 11C).
そして、バラ紙幣の束S´が搬送アーム52から出金口ステージ61に引き渡された後、図11(d)に示すように、出金口ステージ61が上昇する。出金口ステージ61が上昇すると、この出金口ステージ61に載置されたバラ紙幣の束S´は図11(d)に示すように各爪部材66に接触するが、出金口ステージ61が図11(d)に示すような状態から更に上昇すると、図11(e)に示すように、出金口ステージ61上のバラ紙幣の束S´が各爪部材66を上方に押し上げ、軸66aを中心として各爪部材66を上方に回動させる。そして、出金口ステージ61が更に上昇すると、図11(f)に示すように、各爪部材66はほぼ鉛直方向上方を向くようバラ紙幣の束S´により回動させられ、最終的には、各爪部材66上に元々あった帯封紙幣Tと、出金口ステージ61上のバラ紙幣の束S´とが重ね合わせられることとなる。
Then, after the bundle S ′ of loose banknotes is delivered from the transfer arm 52 to the withdrawal port stage 61, the withdrawal port stage 61 is raised as shown in FIG. 11 (d). When the withdrawal port stage 61 is raised, the bundle S 'of rose banknotes placed on the withdrawal port stage 61 comes into contact with each claw member 66 as shown in FIG. Is further raised from the state shown in FIG. 11 (d), as shown in FIG. 11 (e), the bundle S 'of rose banknotes on the dispensing port stage 61 pushes up the claw members 66 upward, and the shaft Each claw member 66 is rotated upward about 66a. When the dispensing port stage 61 is further raised, as shown in FIG. 11 (f), each claw member 66 is rotated by the bundle S 'of loose banknotes so as to face substantially upward in the vertical direction. The bundled banknote T originally provided on each claw member 66 and the bundle S ′ of loose banknotes on the withdrawal port stage 61 are superposed.
図11(f)に示すように、各爪部材66上に元々あった帯封紙幣Tと、搬送アーム52により帯封紙幣出金口60に送られたバラ紙幣の束S´とが出金口ステージ61上で重ね合わせられ、更に出金口ステージ61が各爪部材66よりも上昇し、出金口ステージ61が各爪部材66から離間すると、各爪部材66はそれぞれ軸66aを中心として下方に回動し、これらの爪部材66は略水平方向に延びる状態に戻る。その後、出金口ステージ61は下降する。このことにより、図11(g)に示すように、帯封紙幣Tの下方にバラ紙幣の束S´が位置するよう、帯封紙幣Tおよびバラ紙幣の束S´が各爪部材66上に集積されることとなる。
As shown in FIG. 11 (f), a bundled banknote T originally on each claw member 66 and a bundle S ′ of rose banknotes sent to the banded banknote dispensing port 60 by the transport arm 52 are a dispensing port stage. When the dispensing port stage 61 rises above each claw member 66 and is separated from each claw member 66, each claw member 66 is lowered downward about the shaft 66a. The claw member 66 returns to a state of extending in a substantially horizontal direction. Thereafter, the withdrawal port stage 61 is lowered. As a result, as shown in FIG. 11 (g), the bundled banknote T and the bundle of loose banknotes S ′ are stacked on each claw member 66 so that the bundle of loose banknotes S ′ is positioned below the banded banknote T. The Rukoto.
その後、シャッター機構62が開くことにより、操作者は帯封紙幣出金口60の各爪部材66上にある帯封紙幣Tおよびバラ紙幣の束S´を一括して取り出すことができるようになる。
Then, when the shutter mechanism 62 is opened, the operator can take out the bundled bill T and the bundle S ′ of loose bills on the claw members 66 of the bundled bill dispensing port 60 in a lump.
以上のように本実施の形態の紙幣処理装置10によれば、筐体12内にあるバラ紙幣を、バラ紙幣の入出金口20(バラ紙幣投出口)および帯封紙幣出金口60(帯封紙幣投出口)のうちどちらの投出口により筐体12の外部に投出するかを選択することができる。このため、操作者の希望に応じて、バラ紙幣Sおよび帯封紙幣Tを帯封紙幣出金口60からまとめて投出するか、あるいはバラ紙幣Sを入出金口20から投出させることによりバラ紙幣Sおよび帯封紙幣Tを2つの投出口からそれぞれ別々に投出するかを選ぶことができるようになる。
As described above, according to the banknote handling apparatus 10 of the present embodiment, the rose banknotes in the housing 12 are separated from the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 20 (rose banknote outlet) and the banded banknote dispensing port 60 (banded banknote). It is possible to select which one of the outlets to discharge to the outside of the housing 12. For this reason, according to an operator's request, the rose banknote S and the banded banknote T are thrown out collectively from the banded banknote withdrawal port 60, or the rose banknote S is thrown out from the deposit / withdrawal port 20 to make the rose banknote. It becomes possible to select whether the S and the banknote T are to be dispensed separately from the two dispensing outlets.
ここで、バラ紙幣Sを入出金口20から投出させることによりバラ紙幣および帯封紙幣Tを2つの投出口からそれぞれ別々に投出する場合は、バラ紙幣Sの処理および帯封紙幣Tの処理を並行して行うことができるようになるので紙幣を迅速に処理することができ、このため紙幣の効率的な投出動作を行うことができる。
Here, when the rose banknote S is thrown out from the deposit / withdrawal port 20 and the rose banknote and the banded banknote T are separately dispensed from the two outlets, the processing of the rose banknote S and the process of the banded banknote T are performed. Since the bills can be processed in parallel, the bills can be processed quickly, and the bills can be efficiently thrown out.
一方、バラ紙幣Sを帯封紙幣出金口60から投出させることによりバラ紙幣Sおよび帯封紙幣Tを帯封紙幣出金口60からまとめて投出する場合は、操作者は一つの投出口(帯封紙幣出金口60)からバラ紙幣Sおよび帯封紙幣Tの両方を取り出すこととなるので、操作者がバラ紙幣Sまたは帯封紙幣Tのうち一方の取り出しを忘れることを防止することできるようになり、操作者にとっての操作性を向上させることができる。すなわち、バラ紙幣Sを入出金口20から投出させることによりバラ紙幣Sおよび帯封紙幣Tを2つの投出口からそれぞれ別々に投出する場合は、操作者がバラ紙幣Sまたは帯封紙幣Tの一方を取り出したときに他方の紙幣を取り出し忘れてしまうおそれがあるが、バラ紙幣Sおよび帯封紙幣Tを帯封紙幣出金口60からまとめて投出する場合には、このようなトラブルを防止することができる。
On the other hand, when the rose banknote S and the banded banknote T are put out from the banded banknote dispensing port 60 by throwing out the rose banknotes S from the banded banknote dispensing port 60, the operator needs Since both the rose banknote S and the banded banknote T are taken out from the banknote dispensing port 60), the operator can be prevented from forgetting to take out one of the rose banknote S or the banded banknote T, The operability for the operator can be improved. That is, when the rose banknote S is thrown out of the deposit / withdrawal port 20 and the rose banknote S and the banded banknote T are separately dumped from the two outlets, the operator can select one of the rose banknote S or the banded banknote T. When taking out the other banknote, there is a risk of forgetting to take out the other banknote. However, when the rose banknote S and the banded banknote T are thrown out from the banded banknote outlet 60, such troubles should be prevented. Can do.
以上のように、筐体12内にあるバラ紙幣を、バラ紙幣の入出金口20および帯封紙幣出金口60のうちどちらの投出口により筐体12の外部に投出するかを選択することができるようにすることによって、紙幣処理装置10を、操作者にとって使い勝手の良いものとすることができる。
As described above, it is selected which one of the banknote banknote deposit / withdrawal port 20 and the banded banknote dispensing port 60 is to throw out the rose banknote in the housing 12 to the outside of the housing 12. By making it possible, the banknote handling apparatus 10 can be made convenient for the operator.
