Description

  The present invention relates to a banknote processing apparatus that performs banknote identification and counting, and more particularly, to a banknote processing apparatus that can improve the processing efficiency of banknotes.

  Conventionally, various types of banknote processing apparatuses for performing banknote identification and counting have been used. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a banknote handling apparatus having two or more stackers at an upper position of the apparatus and four stackers at a lower position. Generally, in a banknote processing apparatus that performs banknote identification and counting, a large number of banknotes are stacked and set on a receiving unit (specifically, for example, a hopper), and banknotes are provided by a feeding mechanism provided in the receiving unit. Are collected one by one into the machine body, the banknotes taken into the machine body are identified and counted by an identification unit, and the banknotes are classified and accumulated in each stacker based on the identification result. Specifically, for example, when banknotes are classified into correct bills and non-performing bills and counted, the bills identified as correct by the identification unit among the bills taken into the machine body are sent to the first stacker. The banknote identified by the identifying unit as a non-performing bill is sent to a second stacker different from the first stacker.

  On the other hand, as a banknote processing apparatus for performing banknote identification / counting, a simple type having only one stacker and one reject unit may be used. In such a banknote processing apparatus, only one stacker is provided. Therefore, when banknotes are to be classified and counted by, for example, correct bills and non-performing bills, the correct bills are sent to the stacker in the first counting process. Send the damaged ticket to the reject section. At this time, abnormal bills such as banknotes with abnormal conveyance, fake bills, indistinguishable bills, etc. are also sent to the reject unit. After the first counting process is completed, the correct bill is taken out from the stacker, and the non-use ticket and the abnormal ticket accumulated in the reject unit are set again in the receiving unit. At the same time, an abnormal ticket is sent to the reject unit, and the number of damaged tickets is counted in this way.

  However, in a simple type of banknote processing apparatus provided with only one stacker and one reject unit, the type of banknotes sent to the stacker in the first counting process is preset as, for example, a regular ticket and can be changed as appropriate. You can't do that. For this reason, when many banknotes are included in the banknotes to be processed, for example, the number of banknotes sent to the reject unit increases, the reject unit full is detected, and the banknote counting process is forcibly stopped. There is a problem that it takes time to process banknotes.

International Publication No. 2008/096430

  The present invention has been made in consideration of such points, and is conveyed when banknotes are taken into the machine body one by one by the receiving unit for the first time according to the state of the banknotes inserted into the receiving unit. Since the classification type of the banknotes sent to the large stacker and the small stacker from each section can be selected and set, the number of banknotes sent to the small stacker in the first counting process can be reduced, and the processing efficiency of banknotes can be reduced. It aims at providing the banknote processing apparatus which can be improved.

  The banknote handling apparatus of the present invention receives a plurality of banknotes and receives a banknote one by one into the body, a transport section that transports the banknotes taken into the body by the receiving section one by one, and An identification unit that is provided in the conveyance unit and identifies a banknote conveyed by the conveyance unit, a large stacker that is connected to the conveyance unit and accumulates banknotes sent from the conveyance unit, and is connected to the conveyance unit.

And a control unit that controls the transport unit so as to transport the sheet.

  According to such a banknote handling apparatus, a combination of banknote classification types to be classified by the large stacker and the small stacker is set by the classification type setting unit, and the stacker setting unit sets the classification. For each of the banknote classification types set by the type setting unit, it is set whether the banknotes are to be accumulated in the large stacker or the small stacker. The control unit then selects either the large stacker or the small stacker based on the combination of banknote classification types set by the classification type setting unit, the setting contents set by the stacker setting unit, and the banknote identification result by the identification unit. Control of a conveyance part is performed so that a banknote may be conveyed to one side. For this reason, according to the state of the banknote received by the receiving unit, when the banknotes are taken into the body one by one by the receiving unit for the first time, the classification types of banknotes respectively sent from the transport unit to the large stacker and the small stacker Can be selected and set, the number of banknotes sent to the small stacker in the first counting process can be reduced, and the processing efficiency of banknotes can be improved. More specifically, for example, for a plurality of banknotes to be counted by the banknote processing apparatus, when the operator determines that there are more banknotes of a certain classification type than banknotes of other classification types, the classification type setting is performed. The combination of these classification types is set as a combination of banknote classification types by the unit, and the former classification type banknotes are accumulated in the large stacker by the stacker setting unit, and the latter classification type banknotes are accumulated in the small stacker. By setting this, banknotes of the former classification type having a relatively large number of sheets are accumulated in the large stacker, and banknotes of the latter classification type having a relatively small number of sheets are accumulated in the small stacker. Thus, the number of banknotes sent to the small stacker in the first counting process can be reduced, and the banknotes to be recounted in the small stacker when recounting the banknotes. Therefore, the processing efficiency of banknotes can be improved.

  In the banknote handling apparatus of the present invention, in the classification type setting unit, as a combination of the classification type of the banknote, a combination of a correct ticket and a non-performing ticket, a combination of a front and back ticket, a combination of a new ticket and an old ticket, designation Any one combination of a denomination ticket and a combination of other tickets, and an upward ticket and a downward ticket may be selectively set.

The stacker setting unit 68 sets, for each of the banknote classification types set by the classification type setting unit 66, whether the banknotes are to be stacked in the stacking unit 30 or the reject unit 40. More specifically, for example, when a combination of a correct note and a non-performing bill is set as a combination of banknote classification types in the classification type setting unit 66, the stacker setting unit 68 selects either the correct note or the non-slip ticket. A setting is made as to whether or not the types of banknotes are to be stacked on the stacking unit 30. At this time, if it is set to accumulate the correct ticket in the accumulating unit 30, the defective ticket is accumulated in the reject unit 40. On the other hand, when it is set to accumulate the non-performing ticket in the accumulating unit 30, the correct ticket is accumulated in the rejecting unit 40.

  Similarly, when a combination of a new ticket and an old ticket is set as a combination of banknote classification types in the classification type setting unit 66, the stacker setting unit 68 selects which type of banknote among the new ticket and the old ticket. A setting is made as to whether or not to be accumulated in the accumulation unit 30. When the combination of the front and back bills is set as the combination of the banknote classification types in the classification type setting unit 66, the stacker setting unit 68 accumulates either type of banknotes of the front and back bills. A setting is made as to whether or not to be accumulated in the unit 30. In addition, when the combination of the designated denomination ticket and other tickets is set as the combination of the banknote classification types in the classification type setting unit 66, the stacker setting unit 68 selects the designated denomination ticket and other tickets. A setting is made as to which type of banknote is to be stacked on the stacking unit 30. Further, when the combination of upward and downward tickets is set as the combination of the banknote classification types in the classification type setting unit 66, the stacker setting unit 68 accumulates either type of banknotes of the upward ticket and the downward ticket. A setting is made as to whether or not to be accumulated in the unit 30.

  The stacker setting unit 68 is based on a command sent from the operator to the control unit 60 via the operation display unit 62 connected to the control unit 60, or based on account information of a bill to be processed, or an identification count. The setting is performed based on the identification result of the banknote first identified by the unit 20. This will be described in detail later.

  Based on the combination of banknote classification types set by the classification type setting unit 66, the setting contents set by the stacker setting unit 68, and the banknote identification result by the identification counting unit 20, the control unit 60 performs the stacking unit 30 or rejection. Control of the branching section 22 in the transport section 18 is performed so as to transport bills to any one of the sections 40. More specifically, for example, a combination of a correct note and a non-performing bill is set as a combination of banknote classification types by the classification type setting unit 66, and a correct note is accumulated in the stacking unit 30 by the stacker setting unit 68, and a non-use ticket is rejected. When it is set to be accumulated in 40, among the banknotes that are fed into the housing 12 by the feeding unit 16 and are identified and counted by the identification counting unit 20, The banknotes sent to the stacking unit 30 by the branching unit 22 and identified as being damaged are sent to the rejecting unit 40 by the branching unit 22. On the other hand, for example, a combination of a correct note and a non-performing bill is set as a combination of banknote classification types by the classification type setting unit 66, and a non-slip ticket is accumulated in the accumulating unit 30 and a correct note is accumulated in the reject unit 40 by the stacker setting unit 68. If it is set to be made, among the banknotes that are fed into the housing 12 by the feeding unit 16 and identified and counted by the identification counting unit 20, the banknotes that are identified as lost are the branching unit 22. Is sent to the stacking unit 30, and the banknote identified as a genuine note is sent to the rejecting unit 40 by the branching unit 22.

  Further, the control unit 60 branches in the transport unit 18 so as to transport the banknote to the reject unit 40 when the banknote identification result by the identification counting unit 20 is an unrecognizable or a transport error. The unit 22 is controlled.

  Next, operation | movement of the banknote processing apparatus 10 which consists of such a structure is demonstrated using the flowchart shown in FIG. 4 thru | or FIG. In addition, operation | movement of the banknote processing apparatus 10 shown below is performed when the control part 60 controls each component of the banknote processing apparatus 10. FIG.

First, a combination of banknote classification types to be classified by the stacking unit 30 and the reject unit 40 is set by the classification type setting unit 66, and the banknotes set by the stacking type setting unit 66 by the stacker setting unit 68 are set. For each classification type, it is set whether the banknotes are to be stacked in the stacking unit 30 or the rejecting unit 40. More specifically, in the display screen (initial screen) and each of the operation keys 62b of the display section 62a of the operation display section 62 as shown in FIG. 7, when the operator presses the "FIT" key 62b ₁ 1 times ( (“YES” in STEP 1 of FIG. 4), the classification type setting unit 66 sets a combination of a correct note and a non-performing bill as a combination of classification types of banknotes to be classified by the stacking unit 30 and the reject unit 40. The setting unit 68 sets the collection of the correct bills in the stacking unit 30 and the collection of the damaged bills in the rejection unit 40 (STEP 2 in FIG. 4). When the operator further depresses the “FIT” key 62b ₁ (“YES” in STEP 4 in FIG. 4), the stacker setting unit 68 causes the stacking unit 30 to stack the slips and the reject unit 40 to stack the correct bills. Is set (STEP 5 in FIG. 4). Further, when the operator has already pressed the “FIT” key 62b ₁ twice and further presses the “FIT” key 62b ₁ , the total number of times of pressing becomes three (“YES” in STEP 7 of FIG. 4). ), The combination of the correct bill and the damaged bill set as the combination of the banknote classification types is canceled (STEP 8 in FIG. 4).

  Hereinafter, a combination of a correct note and a non-performing bill is set by the classification type setting unit 66 as a combination of classification types of banknotes to be classified by the stacking unit 30 and the rejecting unit 40, and the stacking unit 30 is set by the stacker setting unit 68. A case will be described in which it is set that the correct ticket is accumulated in the reject unit 40 (step 2 in FIG. 4). In this case, the standby screen before counting bills on the display unit 62a of the operation display unit 62 is as shown in FIG.

  The operator places the banknotes to be counted on the placement unit 14 in a stacked state. After that, when the operator depresses the operation key 62b (specifically, the “START / STOP” key) of the operation display unit 62, a command to start counting bills is given to the control unit 60 (FIG. 4). ("YES" in STEP 3), the banknotes placed in a stacked state on the placement unit 14 are fed out one by one from the banknote in the lowermost layer to the transport unit 18 in the housing 12 one by one (FIG. 5A). STEP 11). The banknotes fed out by the feeding unit 16 to the transport unit 18 in the housing 12 are transported by the transport unit 18.

  And the banknote conveyed by the conveyance part 18 is identified and counted by the identification counting part 20 (STEP11 of FIG. 5A), and the identification result of the banknote by the identification counting part 20 is sent to the control part 60. More specifically, the identification counting unit 20 determines whether or not the banknote is a reject ticket, and if the banknote is not a reject ticket, determines whether or not the banknote is a correct ticket. . Specifically, when the banknote identified by the identification counting unit 20 is an abnormal conveyance ticket, the banknote is determined to be a reject ticket. Moreover, when it determines with the banknote denomination of the banknote in the identification counting part 20 being not a banknote of any denomination, the said banknote is judged to be a rejection ticket. Moreover, when it is determined that the bill is not a genuine note in the authenticity determination of the bill in the identification counting unit 20, the bill is determined to be a reject ticket. The banknote determined to be a rejected ticket by the identification counting unit 20 (“YES” in STEP 12 in FIG. 5A) is further transported by the transport unit 18 and sent to the reject unit 40 by the branching unit 22 (STEP 13 in FIG. 5A). . Moreover, about the banknote judged not to be a rejection ticket in the identification counting part 20, when this banknote is a right ticket ("NO" of STEP12 of FIG. 5A and "YES" of STEP14), the said banknote is a conveyance part. 18 is further conveyed and sent to the stacking unit 30 by the branching unit 22 (STEP 15 in FIG. 5A). At this time, banknotes are sent one by one from the transport unit 18 to the impeller 32a of the impeller type stacking mechanism 32, and the impeller 32a transfers the banknotes sent from the transport unit 18 between the two blades 32b. The banknotes received and received between the blades 32 b are sent to the stacking unit 30. In this way, banknotes can be stacked in the stacked portion 30 by the impeller type stacking mechanism 32 in an aligned state. In addition, regarding the banknote that is determined not to be a rejected ticket by the identification counting unit 20, if this banknote is not a genuine ticket ("NO" in STEP 12 and "NO" in STEP 14 in FIG. 5A), the banknote is a damaged ticket. Are further conveyed by the conveying unit 18 and sent to the rejecting unit 40 by the branching unit 22 (STEP 16 in FIG. 5A).

  During the bill counting process by the bill processing apparatus 10 as described above, the opening on the front surface of the stacking unit 30 is closed by the shutter 34 as shown by the solid line in FIG. And when all the banknotes mounted on the mounting section 14 are sent to the stacking section 30 or the reject section 40 and the first counting process of banknotes by the banknote processing apparatus 10 is completed, a shutter is shown as shown by a dotted line in FIG. 34 moves to the retracted position, and the opening on the front surface of the stacking unit 30 is opened. In this way, the operator can take out banknotes from the stacking unit 30. Moreover, since the opening of the front surface of the rejection part 40 is always open, the operator can take out the banknotes from the rejection part 40 by tilting each banknote alignment member 42 to the front surface of the housing 12. .

  In addition, the display unit 62a of the operation display unit 62 displays the total amount of banknotes accumulated in the accumulation unit 30 and the total amount of banknotes accumulated as a non-payment in the reject unit 40 in real time. (STEP 17 in FIG. 5A). And when all the banknotes mounted on the mounting unit 14 are sent to the stacking unit 30 or the rejecting unit 40 and the first counting process of banknotes by the banknote processing device 10 is completed, the display unit 62a of the operation display unit 62 The display content is, for example, as shown in FIG. Here, the display unit 62a displays that the total amount of the “FIT (correct ticket)” is, for example, 500 Euro as the total amount of the correct bills accumulated in the accumulating unit 30, while being accumulated in the reject unit 40. For example, the total amount of “UNFIT” is displayed as 100 Euro. When a reject ticket such as an abnormal transport ticket is sent to the reject unit 40, the reject lamp 62c (see FIG. 7) of the operation display unit 62 is turned on, and the display unit as shown in FIG. 8B. The characters “REJECT (reject)” are displayed in 62a. In FIG. 8B, the characters “REJECT” are displayed surrounded by a frame, but in reality, the characters “REJECT” are displayed on the display unit 62a in a state where the characters are reversed in black and white in the frame. It has become.

  And after all the banknotes mounted in the mounting part 14 are integrated | stacked on the stacking part 30 or the rejection part 40 ("YES" of STEP18 of FIG. 5A), a conveyance abnormal ticket etc. on the banknotes integrated | stacked on the rejection part 40 etc. Is not included (“NO” in STEP 19 in FIG. 5A), the banknote is taken out from the stacking unit 30 when the confirmation (ACCEPT) key in the operation key 62 b of the operation display unit 62 is pressed. (“YES” in STEP 20 in FIG. 5A), the number of banknotes (correct bills) sent to the stacking unit 30 and the number of banknotes (damaged bills) sent to the reject unit 40 are respectively determined (in FIG. 5A). (Step 21).

  On the other hand, when all the banknotes placed on the placement unit 14 are accumulated in the accumulation unit 30 or the rejection unit 40, when the banknotes accumulated in the rejection unit 40 include a rejection ticket such as an abnormal conveyance ticket ( The operator removes the banknotes accumulated in the reject unit 40 from the reject unit 40 and places them on the mounting unit 14 (STEP 22 in FIG. 5A). At this time, the operator does not take out the banknote from the stacking unit 30. In this case, the display content on the display unit 62a of the operation display unit 62 is as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8C, by removing the banknote from the reject unit 40, in the display content on the display unit 62a, the characters “REJECT” disappear from the state shown in FIG. 8B, and “UNFIT ( The total amount of “defect ticket” is cleared to zero, and “TOTAL” (total amount of correct ticket and non-performing ticket) also decreases (that is, the amount of “TOTAL” is the total amount of “FIT”) To match).

  Here, after the counting process of the first banknote is completed, the control unit 60 does not remove the banknotes accumulated in the accumulation unit 30 (“NO” in STEP 23 of FIG. 5B) and the banknotes accumulated in the reject unit 40. Can be executed again (STEP 24 in FIG. 5B). When such a retry processing function is executed, the branch unit 22 in the transport unit 18 is controlled by the control unit 60 so as to transport bills while maintaining the setting contents in the stacker setting unit 68. ing. More specifically, the operator removes the banknotes accumulated in the reject unit 40 without removing the banknotes accumulated in the stacking unit 30, takes out the banknotes from the reject unit 40, and places them on the placement unit 14. By depressing the operation key 62b (specifically, the “START / STOP” key), the operations of STEP11 to STEP18 in FIG. 5A are performed again. More specifically, when the retry processing function is executed, the banknotes placed on the placement unit 14 are fed one by one to the transport unit 18 in the housing 12 by the feeding unit 16 and identified by the identification counting unit 20. And counting is performed (STEP 11 in FIG. 5A). Then, the banknote determined to be a rejected ticket by the identification counting unit 20 (“YES” in STEP 12 of FIG. 5A) is further transported by the transport unit 18 and sent to the reject unit 40 by the branch unit 22 (FIG. 5A). (STEP 13). In addition, since the setting content in the stacker setting unit 68 is not changed, the setting that the correct ticket is accumulated in the accumulating unit 30 and the non-performing ticket is accumulated in the reject unit 40 remains maintained. For this reason, when the banknote is determined not to be rejected by the identification counting unit 20, if the banknote is a correct one (“NO” in STEP12 and “YES” in STEP14 in FIG. 5A), the banknote is conveyed. It is further conveyed by the part 18 and sent to the stacking part 30 by the branch part 22 (STEP 15 in FIG. 5A). On the other hand, when the banknote is determined not to be a rejected ticket by the identification counting unit 20, if this banknote is not a correct ticket ("NO" in STEP 12 and "NO" in STEP 14 in FIG. 5A), the banknote is a damaged ticket. Are further conveyed by the conveying unit 18 and sent to the rejecting unit 40 by the branching unit 22 (STEP 16 in FIG. 5A). And the total amount of the banknote each accumulate | stored in the stacking part 30 and the rejection part 40 is displayed on the display part 62a of the operation display part 62 in real time (STEP17 of FIG. 5A).

  When all the banknotes placed on the placement unit 14 are sent to the stacking unit 30 or the reject unit 40 and the second counting process of banknotes by the banknote handling apparatus 10 is completed (“YES” in STEP 18 of FIG. 5A). When the banknotes accumulated in the reject unit 40 do not include a reject ticket such as a transport abnormality ticket (“NO” in STEP 19 in FIG. 5A), the confirmation (ACCEPT) key on the operation key 62 b of the operation display unit 62 is When pressed or when the banknotes are taken out from the stacking unit 30 (“YES” in STEP 20 in FIG. 5A), the number of banknotes (correct bills) sent to the stacking unit 30 and the banknotes sent to the reject unit 40 ( The number of non-slip tickets is determined (STEP 21 in FIG. 5A). In this manner, a series of bill counting processes when the retry processing function is executed in the control unit 60 ends.

  On the other hand, when all the banknotes placed on the placement unit 14 are accumulated in the accumulation unit 30 or the rejection unit 40, when the banknotes accumulated in the rejection unit 40 include a rejection ticket such as an abnormal conveyance ticket ( In step 19 of FIG. 5A (“YES”), the retry processing function as described above can be executed again. Alternatively, in this case, instead of executing the retry processing function as described above again, a second processing function described later may be executed. Further, when the operator visually confirms that the counterfeit bill or the like is included in the banknotes accumulated in the reject unit 40, the operator presses the confirm (ACCEPT) key in the operation key 62 b of the operation display unit 62. Thus, or by taking out the banknotes from the stacking unit 30, it is possible to determine the number of correct bills sent to the stacking unit 30 and the number of damaged bills sent to the rejecting unit 40 in the retry processing function.

  In addition, in the banknote processing apparatus 10 of this Embodiment, after all the banknotes mounted in the mounting part 14 are sent to the stacking part 30 or the rejection part 40, ie, after the 1st banknote counting process is complete | finished. Then, the banknotes are removed from both the stacking unit 30 and the rejecting unit 40 (“YES” in STEP 23 of FIG. 5B), the banknotes stacked in the rejecting unit 40 are mounted on the mounting unit 14 again, and the banknotes are reprocessed. The second processing function to be performed can be executed (STEP 25 in FIG. 5B). When such a second processing function is executed, the branching unit 22 controls the control unit 60 so that the banknotes are conveyed with the contents set in the stacker setting unit 68 reversed with respect to the stacking unit 30 and the rejecting unit 40. It is controlled by. That is, when the second processing function is executed, the correct bills are accumulated in the reject unit 40 and the damaged bills are accumulated in the accumulation unit 30.

  The case where the second processing function is executed will be described in more detail. When the operator removes the bills from the stacking unit 30 after the first bill counting process is completed, as shown in FIG. A message prompting recounting of the banknotes accumulated in 40 is displayed on the display unit 62a. Thereafter, the operator takes out banknotes (damaged tickets and / or rejected tickets) accumulated in the reject unit 40 from the reject unit 40 and places them on the mounting unit 14. In this case, the display content on the display unit 62a of the operation display unit 62 is as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8E, when the banknote is taken out from the reject unit 40, the characters “REJECT” disappear from the state shown in FIG. 8B in the display content on the display unit 62a, and “UNFIT ( The total amount of “defect ticket” is cleared to zero, and “TOTAL” (total amount of correct ticket and non-performing ticket) also decreases (that is, the amount of “TOTAL” is the total amount of “FIT”) To match). Then, the character “UNFIT” is changed to a state surrounded by a line.

  As described above, after the operator removes the banknotes from both the stacking unit 30 and the rejecting unit 40 and places the banknotes (damaged bills) stacked on the rejecting unit 40 on the mounting unit 14, the operator displays the operation. When a command to start recounting banknotes is given to the control unit 60 by pressing an operation key 62b (specifically, a “START / STOP” key) of the unit 62, the unit is placed on the placement unit 14. The banknotes are fed one by one to the transport unit 18 in the housing 12 by the feeding unit 16, and are identified and counted by the identification counting unit 20 (STEP 26 in FIG. 5B). Then, the banknote determined to be a rejected ticket by the identification counting unit 20 (“YES” in STEP 27 of FIG. 5B) is further transported by the transport unit 18 and sent to the reject unit 40 by the branch unit 22 (FIG. 5B). (STEP 28). Further, the contents set in the stacker setting unit 68 are reversed with respect to the stacking unit 30 and the reject unit 40, so that the non-use bills are stacked in the stacking unit 30 and the correct bills are stacked in the reject unit 40. It becomes like this. For this reason, when the banknote is determined not to be rejected by the identification counting unit 20, when the banknote is a non-rejectable ticket ("NO" in STEP27 and "YES" in STEP29 in FIG. 5B), the banknote is conveyed. It is further conveyed by the part 18 and sent to the stacking part 30 by the branch part 22 (STEP 30 in FIG. 5B). On the other hand, for the banknote that is determined not to be a rejected ticket by the identification counting unit 20, if this banknote is not a non-damaged ticket (“NO” in STEP 27 and “NO” in STEP 29 in FIG. 5B), the banknote is a correct ticket. Are further conveyed by the conveying unit 18 and sent to the rejecting unit 40 by the branching unit 22 (STEP 31 in FIG. 5B). And the total amount of the banknote integrated | stacked on the collection part 30 and the banknote integrated | stacked as a correct note on the rejection part 40 is each displayed on the display part 62a of the operation display part 62 in real time (STEP32 of FIG. 5B). .

  When all the banknotes placed on the placement unit 14 are sent to the stacking unit 30 or the reject unit 40 and the second counting process of banknotes by the banknote handling apparatus 10 is completed (“YES” in STEP 33 of FIG. 5B). When the banknotes accumulated in the reject unit 40 do not include a reject ticket such as a transport abnormality ticket (“NO” in STEP 34 in FIG. 5B), the confirmation (ACCEPT) key on the operation key 62 b of the operation display unit 62 is When pressed or when a banknote is taken out from the stacking unit 30 (“YES” in STEP 20 in FIG. 5A), the number of banknotes (damaged bills) sent to the stacking unit 30 and the banknotes sent to the reject unit 40 ( The correct number of tickets is determined (STEP 21 in FIG. 5A). In this manner, a series of bill counting processes when the second processing function is executed in the control unit 60 is completed.

  On the other hand, when all the banknotes placed on the placement unit 14 are accumulated in the accumulation unit 30 or the rejection unit 40, when the banknotes accumulated in the rejection unit 40 include a rejection ticket such as an abnormal conveyance ticket ( Step 34 in FIG. 5B “YES”), the reject lamp 62c (see FIG. 7) of the operation display unit 62 is turned on, and the character “REJECT (reject)” is displayed on the display unit 62a as shown in FIG. 8E. Is displayed. And an operator takes out the banknote integrated | stacked on the rejection part 40 from this rejection part 40, and mounts it on the mounting part 14 (STEP35 of FIG. 5B). In this case, in the display content on the display unit 62a of the operation display unit 62, the characters “REJECT” disappear from the state shown in FIG. 8F, and the total amount of the correct bills accumulated in the reject unit 40 is cleared. Is done. Thereafter, the second processing function (STEP 26 to STEP 33 in FIG. 5B) as described above can be executed again in the banknote processing apparatus 10. Further, when the operator visually confirms that the counterfeit bill or the like is included in the banknotes accumulated in the reject unit 40, the operator presses the confirm (ACCEPT) key in the operation key 62 b of the operation display unit 62. Thus, or by taking out the banknotes from the stacking unit 30, it is possible to determine the number of banknotes sent to the stacking unit 30 and the number of genuine bills sent to the reject unit 40 in the second processing function.

Next, a combination of correct bills and non-performing bills is set by the classification type setting unit 66 as a combination of classification types of banknotes to be classified by the stacking unit 30 and the reject unit 40, and the stacker setting unit 68 sets the stacking unit. A case will be described in which it is set to accumulate the non-performing bill at 30 and to collect the correct bill at the reject unit 40 (STEP 5 in FIG. 4). For example, when the operator determines that the banknote processing apparatus 10 has a plurality of banknotes to be counted and the number of damaged bills is larger than that of the correct bill, the operator uses the stacker setting unit 68 to set the stacking unit 30. It is set to accumulate the non-performing bills and accumulate the correct bills in the reject unit 40. Specifically, on the display screen (initial screen) of the display unit 62a of the operation display unit 62 and each operation key 62b as shown in FIG. 7, the operator presses the “FIT” key 62b ₁ twice as described above. When the button is pressed, the stacker setting unit 68 is set to accumulate the non-performing bill in the stacking unit 30 and to stack the correct ticket in the rejecting unit 40 (STEP 5 in FIG. 4). In this case, the standby screen before counting bills on the display unit 62a of the operation display unit 62 is as shown in FIG.

  The operator places the banknotes to be counted on the placement unit 14 in a stacked state. After that, when the operator depresses the operation key 62b (specifically, the “START / STOP” key) of the operation display unit 62, a command to start counting bills is given to the control unit 60 (FIG. 4). ("YES" in STEP 6), the banknotes placed in a stacked state on the placement unit 14 are fed out one by one from the banknote in the lowermost layer to the transport unit 18 in the housing 12 one by one (FIG. 6A). STEP 41). The banknotes fed out by the feeding unit 16 to the transport unit 18 in the housing 12 are transported by the transport unit 18.

  And the banknote conveyed by the conveyance part 18 is identified and counted by the identification counting part 20 (STEP 41 of FIG. 6A), and the identification result of the banknote by the identification counting part 20 is sent to the control part 60. More specifically, the identification counting unit 20 determines whether or not the banknote is a reject ticket, and if the banknote is not a reject ticket, determines whether or not the banknote is a damaged ticket. . The banknote determined to be a rejected ticket by the identification counting unit 20 (“YES” in STEP 42 in FIG. 6A) is further transported by the transport unit 18 and sent to the reject unit 40 by the branching unit 22 (STEP 43 in FIG. 6A). . Moreover, about the banknote judged as the rejection ticket in the identification counting part 20, when this banknote is a loss ticket ("NO" of STEP42 of FIG. 6A and "YES" of STEP44), the said banknote is a conveyance part. 18 is further conveyed to the stacking unit 30 by the branching unit 22 (STEP 45 in FIG. 6A). In addition, for a banknote that is determined not to be a rejected ticket by the identification counting unit 20, if this banknote is not a non-damaged ticket ("NO" in STEP42 and "NO" in STEP44 in FIG. 6A), the banknote is a correct ticket. Are further conveyed by the conveying unit 18 and sent to the rejecting unit 40 by the branching unit 22 (STEP 46 in FIG. 6A).

  Here, the total amount of banknotes accumulated in the stacking unit 30 and the total amount of banknotes accumulated in the reject unit 40 are respectively displayed in real time on the display unit 62a of the operation display unit 62 ( (Step 47 in FIG. 6A). And when all the banknotes mounted on the mounting unit 14 are sent to the stacking unit 30 or the rejecting unit 40 and the first counting process of banknotes by the banknote processing device 10 is completed, the display unit 62a of the operation display unit 62 The display content is, for example, as shown in FIG. Here, the display unit 62a displays that the total amount of “FIT (correct ticket)” is 100 Euro, for example, as the total amount of the correct bills accumulated in the reject unit 40, while being accumulated in the accumulation unit 30. For example, the total amount of “UNFIT” is displayed as 500 Euro. When a reject ticket such as an abnormal transport ticket is sent to the reject unit 40, the reject lamp 62c (see FIG. 7) of the operation display unit 62 is turned on, and the display unit as shown in FIG. 9B. The characters “REJECT (reject)” are displayed in 62a.

  And after all the banknotes mounted in the mounting part 14 are integrated | stacked on the stacking part 30 or the rejection part 40 ("YES" of STEP48 of FIG. 6A), a conveyance abnormality ticket etc. on the banknotes integrated | stacked on the rejection part 40 Is not included (“NO” in STEP 49 in FIG. 6A), the banknote is taken out from the stacking unit 30 when the confirmation (ACCEPT) key in the operation key 62b of the operation display unit 62 is pressed or the stacking unit 30 is pressed. (“YES” in STEP 50 in FIG. 6A), the number of banknotes (damaged bills) stacked in the stacking unit 30 and the number of banknotes (correct bills) stacked in the rejecting unit 40 are determined (FIG. 6A). (STEP 51).

  On the other hand, when all the banknotes placed on the placement unit 14 are accumulated in the accumulation unit 30 or the rejection unit 40, when the banknotes accumulated in the rejection unit 40 include a rejection ticket such as an abnormal conveyance ticket ( 6A, the operator takes out the banknotes accumulated in the reject unit 40 from the reject unit 40 and places them on the placement unit 14 (STEP 52 in FIG. 6A). At this time, the operator does not take out the banknote from the stacking unit 30. In this case, the display content on the display unit 62a of the operation display unit 62 is as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9C, when the bill is taken out from the reject unit 40, in the display content on the display unit 62a, the characters “REJECT” disappear from the state shown in FIG. 9B, and “FIT ( The total amount of the “correct ticket” is cleared to 0, and “TOTAL” (the total amount of the correct ticket and the non-performing ticket) is also decreased (ie, the total amount of “TOTAL” is the total amount of “UNFIT”). To match).

  And when the banknote integrated | stacked on the stacking part 30 is not removed ("NO" of STEP53 of FIG. 6B), the control part 60 will perform the above-mentioned retry process function (FIG. 6B). STEP54). As described above, when the retry processing function is executed, the branch unit 22 in the transport unit 18 is controlled so as to transport banknotes while maintaining the setting contents in the stacker setting unit 68. More specifically, the operator removes the banknotes accumulated in the reject unit 40 without removing the banknotes accumulated in the stacking unit 30, takes out the banknotes from the reject unit 40, and places them on the placement unit 14. By depressing the operation key 62b (specifically, the “START / STOP” key), the operations of STEP41 to STEP48 in FIG. 6A are performed again. More specifically, when the retry processing function is executed, the banknotes placed on the placement unit 14 are fed one by one to the transport unit 18 in the housing 12 by the feeding unit 16 and identified by the identification counting unit 20. And counting is performed (STEP 41 in FIG. 6A). Then, the banknote determined to be a rejected ticket by the identification counting unit 20 (“YES” in STEP 42 in FIG. 6A) is further transported by the transport unit 18 and sent to the reject unit 40 by the branch unit 22 (FIG. 6A). (STEP 43). In addition, since the setting content in the stacker setting unit 68 is not changed, the setting that the non-performing ticket is accumulated in the accumulating unit 30 and the correct ticket is accumulated in the rejecting unit 40 is maintained. For this reason, when the banknote is determined not to be rejected by the identification counting unit 20, if the banknote is a non-rejected ticket ("NO" in STEP42 and "YES" in STEP44 in FIG. 6A), the banknote is conveyed. It is further conveyed by the part 18 and sent to the stacking part 30 by the branch part 22 (STEP 45 in FIG. 6A). On the other hand, for the banknote that is determined not to be a rejected ticket by the identification counting unit 20, if this banknote is not a non-damaged ticket ("NO" in STEP 42 and "NO" in STEP 44 in FIG. 6A), the banknote is a correct ticket. Are further conveyed by the conveying unit 18 and sent to the rejecting unit 40 by the branching unit 22 (STEP 46 in FIG. 6A). And the total amount of the banknote each accumulate | stored in the stacking part 30 and the rejection part 40 is displayed on the display part 62a of the operation display part 62 in real time (STEP47 of FIG. 6A).

  When all the bills placed on the placement unit 14 are sent to the stacking unit 30 or the reject unit 40 and the second counting process of the bills by the bill processing apparatus 10 is completed (“YES” in STEP 48 of FIG. 6A). When the banknotes accumulated in the reject unit 40 do not include a reject ticket such as an abnormal transport ticket (“NO” in STEP 49 in FIG. 6A), the confirmation (ACCEPT) key on the operation key 62b of the operation display unit 62 is When pressed or when a banknote is taken out from the stacking unit 30 (“YES” in STEP 50 in FIG. 6A), the number of banknotes (damaged bills) sent to the stacking unit 30 and the banknotes sent to the reject unit 40 ( The correct number of tickets is determined (STEP 51 in FIG. 6A). In this manner, a series of bill counting processes when the retry processing function is executed in the control unit 60 ends.

  On the other hand, when all the banknotes placed on the placement unit 14 are accumulated in the accumulation unit 30 or the rejection unit 40, when the banknotes accumulated in the rejection unit 40 include a rejection ticket such as an abnormal conveyance ticket ( In step 49 of FIG. 6A “YES”), the retry processing function as described above can be executed again. Alternatively, in this case, instead of executing the retry processing function as described above again, a second processing function described later may be executed. Further, when the operator visually confirms that the counterfeit bill or the like is included in the banknotes accumulated in the reject unit 40, the operator presses the confirm (ACCEPT) key in the operation key 62 b of the operation display unit 62. Thus, or by taking out the banknotes from the stacking unit 30, it is possible to determine the number of damaged bills sent to the stacking unit 30 and the number of correct bills sent to the rejecting unit 40 in the retry processing function.

  Note that the banknotes accumulated in the accumulating unit 30 after the first counting process are set even when the stacker setting unit 68 is configured to accumulate the non-performing bills in the accumulating unit 30 and to accumulate the correct bills in the rejecting unit 40. Is removed (“YES” in STEP 53 in FIG. 6B), the control unit can execute the above-described second processing function (STEP 55 in FIG. 6B).

  The case where the second processing function is executed will be described in more detail. When the operator removes the banknotes from the stacking unit 30 after the first banknote counting process is completed, the display unit 62a shows the display unit 62a as shown in FIG. A message that prompts the user to recount the banknotes accumulated in the reject unit 40 is displayed in the same manner as the message. Thereafter, the operator takes out banknotes (correct bills and / or rejected bills) accumulated in the reject unit 40 from the reject unit 40 and places them on the placement unit 14. In this case, the display content on the display unit 62a of the operation display unit 62 is as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9D, by removing the banknote from the reject unit 40, in the display content on the display unit 62a, the characters “REJECT” disappear from the state shown in FIG. 9B, and “FIT ( The total amount of the “correct ticket” is cleared to 0, and “TOTAL” (the total amount of the correct ticket and the non-performing ticket) is also decreased (ie, the total amount of “TOTAL” is the total amount of “UNFIT”). To match). Then, the character “FIT” is changed to a state surrounded by a line.

  As described above, after the operator removes the banknotes from both the stacking unit 30 and the rejecting unit 40 and places the banknotes (correct bills) stacked in the rejecting unit 40 on the mounting unit 14, the operator displays the operation. When a command to start recounting banknotes is given to the control unit 60 by pressing an operation key 62b (specifically, a “START / STOP” key) of the unit 62, the unit is placed on the placement unit 14. The banknotes are fed one by one to the transport unit 18 in the housing 12 by the feeding unit 16, and are identified and counted by the identification counting unit 20 (STEP 56 in FIG. 6B). Then, the banknote determined to be a rejected ticket by the identification counting unit 20 (“YES” in STEP 57 in FIG. 6B) is further transported by the transport unit 18 and sent to the reject unit 40 by the branch unit 22 (FIG. 6B). (STEP 58). Further, the setting contents in the stacker setting unit 68 are reversed with respect to the stacking unit 30 and the rejecting unit 40, so that the correct ticket is stacked in the stacking unit 30 and the non-performing ticket is stacked in the rejecting unit 40. It becomes like this. For this reason, when the banknote is determined not to be rejected by the identification counting unit 20, if the banknote is a correct one (“NO” in STEP57 and “YES” in STEP59 in FIG. 6B), the banknote is conveyed. It is further conveyed by the part 18 and sent to the stacking part 30 by the branch part 22 (STEP 60 in FIG. 6B). On the other hand, when the banknote is determined not to be rejected by the identification counting unit 20, if the banknote is not a correct one (“NO” in STEP57 and “NO” in STEP59 in FIG. 6B), the banknote is a damaged ticket. Are further conveyed by the conveying unit 18 and sent to the rejecting unit 40 by the branching unit 22 (STEP 61 in FIG. 6B). And the total amount of the banknote integrated | stacked on the stacking part 30 and the banknote integrated | stacked on the rejection part 40 as a non-payment is respectively displayed on the display part 62a of the operation display part 62 in real time (STEP62 of FIG. 6B). .

  When all the bills placed on the placement unit 14 are sent to the stacking unit 30 or the reject unit 40 and the second counting process of bills by the bill processing apparatus 10 is completed (“YES” in STEP 63 in FIG. 6B). When the banknotes accumulated in the reject unit 40 do not include a reject ticket such as an abnormal transport ticket (“NO” in STEP 64 of FIG. 6B), the confirmation (ACCEPT) key on the operation key 62b of the operation display unit 62 is When pressed or when the banknotes are taken out from the stacking unit 30 (“YES” in STEP 50 in FIG. 6A), the number of banknotes (correct bills) sent to the stacking unit 30 and the banknotes sent to the reject unit 40 ( The number of non-slip tickets is determined (STEP 51 in FIG. 6A). In this manner, a series of bill counting processes when the second processing function is executed in the control unit 60 is completed.

  On the other hand, when all the banknotes placed on the placement unit 14 are accumulated in the accumulation unit 30 or the rejection unit 40, when the banknotes accumulated in the rejection unit 40 include a rejection ticket such as an abnormal conveyance ticket ( Step 64 in FIG. 6B “YES”), the reject lamp 62c (see FIG. 7) of the operation display unit 62 is turned on, and the character “REJECT (reject)” is displayed on the display unit 62a as shown in FIG. 9E. Is displayed. And an operator takes out the banknote integrated | stacked on the rejection part 40 from this rejection part 40, and mounts it on the mounting part 14 (STEP65 of FIG. 6B). In this case, in the display content on the display unit 62a of the operation display unit 62, the characters “REJECT” disappear from the state shown in FIG. 9E, and the total amount of non-performing tickets accumulated in the reject unit 40 is cleared. Is done. Thereafter, the second processing function (STEP 56 to STEP 63 in FIG. 6B) as described above can be executed again in the banknote processing apparatus 10. Further, when the operator visually confirms that the counterfeit bill or the like is included in the banknotes accumulated in the reject unit 40, the operator presses the confirm (ACCEPT) key in the operation key 62 b of the operation display unit 62. Thus, or by taking out the banknotes from the stacking unit 30, it is possible to determine the number of correct bills sent to the stacking unit 30 and the number of damaged bills sent to the rejecting unit 40 in the second processing function.

  In the description so far, the case where the combination of the correct bill and the non-performing bill is set as the combination of the classification types of the banknotes in the classification type setting unit 66 has been described. Even if a combination of new and old tickets, a combination of front and back tickets, a combination of designated denomination tickets and other tickets, or a combination of upward and downward tickets is set as a combination of types The same processing as when a combination of a correct note and a non-performing bill is set as the combination of classification types is performed.

  As described above, in the banknote handling apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, the classification type setting unit 66 determines combinations of banknote classification types to be classified by the stacking unit (large stacker) 30 and the reject unit (small stacker) 40. In addition, for each of the banknote classification types set by the classification type setting unit 66 by the stacker setting unit 68, whether the banknotes are to be stacked in the stacking unit 30 or the reject unit 40 is set. It is supposed to be set. Based on the combination of banknote classification types set by the classification type setting unit 66, the setting contents set by the stacker setting unit 68, and the banknote identification result by the identification counting unit 20, the control unit 60. And the branch part 22 in the conveyance part 18 is controlled so that a banknote may be conveyed to either one of the rejection parts 40. FIG. For this reason, according to the state of the banknotes placed on the placement unit 14, when the banknotes are taken into the machine body one by one by the placement unit 14 for the first time, the stacking unit 30 and the rejection unit 40 from the transport unit 18. Therefore, the number of banknotes sent to the reject unit 40 in the first counting process can be reduced, and the processing efficiency of banknotes can be improved. More specifically, for example, when the operator determines that the banknote processing apparatus 10 has a plurality of banknotes to be counted, the banknote classification is performed by the classification type setting unit 66. By setting a combination of a correct ticket and a non-performing bill as a combination of types, and setting the stacker setting unit 68 to stack the non-performing ticket in the stacking unit 30 and to stack the correct ticket in the reject unit 40, A large number of non-issued tickets are accumulated in the accumulation unit 30, and a relatively small number of genuine notes are accumulated in the reject unit 40. In this way, the number of banknotes sent to the reject unit 40 in the first counting process can be reduced, and the reject unit 40 can be used when recounting banknotes (retry processing function or second processing function). Since the number of banknotes to be recounted is relatively small, the processing efficiency of banknotes can be improved.

  In addition, the banknote processing apparatus 10 of this Embodiment is not limited to said aspect, A various change can be added.

  In the operation of the banknote handling apparatus 10 as shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 4 to 6, the banknotes are stacked on the basis of the identification result of whether the banknotes are correct or damaged regardless of the banknote denomination. Alternatively, they are classified and accumulated in the reject unit 40. However, in consideration of the denomination of the banknotes, the banknotes may be classified and stacked into the stacking unit 30 or the rejecting unit 40. More specifically, in the operation of the banknote processing apparatus 10 as shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 4 to 6, the denomination of the banknote first identified by the identification counting unit 20 in the first counting process of banknotes is the storage unit. 64, and the second and subsequent banknotes identified and counted by the identification counting unit 20 when the denomination is different from the denomination of the first identified banknote, the banknote is rejected. 40 may be sent.

  Further, the stacker setting unit 68 does not perform setting based on a command sent from the operator to the control unit 60 via the operation display unit 62 connected to the control unit 60, but performs the first bill counting process. On the basis of the identification result of the banknote first identified by the identification counting unit 20, the banknote is accumulated in either the accumulation unit 30 or the reject unit 40 for each of the banknote classification types set by the classification type setting unit 66. You may set to do.

  In this case, the storage unit 64 connected to the control unit 60 stores in advance the relationship between each classification type and the stacker (stacking unit 30 and reject unit 40) for each denomination of banknotes. Good. Specifically, when the combination of banknote classification types is a combination of a correct note and a non-performing bill, the storage unit 64 stores, for example, each classification type for each denomination of banknotes (a correct note and a loss) as shown in FIG. The relationship between the ticket) and the stacker may be stored in advance.

  Then, in the first counting process of banknotes, the operator places the banknotes to be counted in a stacked state on the placement unit 14, and operates the operation key 62 b (specifically, “START”) of the operation display unit 62. / STOP "key) to give the control unit 60 a command to start counting banknotes, the banknotes placed in a stacked state on the placement unit 14 are one in order from the banknote in the lowest layer. The feed unit 16 feeds the transport unit 18 in the housing 12 one by one. At this time, information on the denomination of the banknote first fed out to the transport unit 18 in the housing 12 and identified by the identification counting unit 20 is sent to the control unit 60, and the identification is performed first. Based on the denomination of the banknote, the stacker setting unit 68 uses the relationship between each classification type for each denomination of banknotes and the stacker as shown in FIG. For each, it is set whether the banknotes are to be stacked on the stacking unit 30 or the rejecting unit 40.

  For example, when the banknote first identified by the identification counting unit 20 is a 10 euro banknote, the stacker setting unit is based on the relationship between each classification type for each denomination and stacker as shown in FIG. No. 68 sets to collect the correct bills in the stacking unit 30 and to stack the non-performing tickets in the reject unit 40. In this case, for the second and subsequent bills, processing as shown in STEP 11 to STEP 35 in the flowcharts of FIGS. 5A and 5B is performed. On the other hand, for example, when the banknote first identified by the identification counter 20 is a 5-euro banknote, the stacker is based on the relationship between each classification type and stacker as shown in FIG. The setting unit 68 sets the accumulation of the non-performing bill in the stacking unit 30 and the stacking of the correct ticket in the rejecting unit 40. In this case, the second and subsequent banknotes are processed as shown in STEP 41 to STEP 65 in the flowcharts of FIGS. 6A and 6B.

  At this time, in each of the first and second counting processes of the banknote, the denomination of the banknote identified by the identification counting section 20 is first identified by the identification counting section 20 in the first counting process of the banknote. When the denomination is different from the denominated banknote, the banknote is sent to the reject unit 40.

  According to the operation of the banknote processing device 10, the banknotes are stacked in either the stacking unit 30 or the rejecting unit 40 for each of the banknote classification types depending on the denomination of the banknotes to be counted by the banknote processing device 10. You can change the setting. That is, when the operator thinks that the denominations of the banknotes to be processed by the banknote processing apparatus 10 are substantially the same, by setting the processing mode as described above, that is, by the identification counting unit 20 first. Based on the identification result of the identified banknote, the stacker setting unit 68 performs the setting as to whether the banknotes are to be stacked in the stacking unit 30 or the reject unit 40 for each of the banknote classification types, It becomes possible to process banknotes suitable for denominations of banknotes to be counted by the processing device 10.

  Specifically, for example, when it is generally assumed that more banknotes are included in a 5 euro banknote or a 20 euro banknote than a regular banknote, each classification type for each banknote denomination as shown in FIG. When the banknote processing device 10 performs counting processing of 5 euro banknotes or 20 euro banknotes by storing the relationship between the correct bill and the non-paid bill) and the stacker in the storage unit 64, the stacker setting unit 68 Are set to be accumulated in the accumulating unit 30 and the correct bill is accumulated in the reject unit 40. As a result, a relatively large number of non-issued tickets are accumulated in the accumulating unit 30, and a relatively small number of genuine notes are accumulated in the rejecting unit 40. On the other hand, when banknotes of other denominations contain more regular bills than banknotes, the relationship between each type of banknote (deal and nonslipper) and stacker as shown in FIG. When the banknote processing apparatus 10 performs counting processing of banknotes of these denominations by storing them in the storage unit 64, the stacker setting unit 68 accumulates the correct bills in the stacking unit 30 and rejects the damaged bills. 40 is set to be accumulated. As a result, a relatively large number of genuine notes are accumulated in the accumulating unit 30, and a relatively small number of non-issued tickets are accumulated in the rejecting unit 40.

  Thus, no matter what denomination banknotes are counted by the banknote processing apparatus 10, the number of banknotes sent to the reject unit 40 in the first counting process can be reduced. When performing the re-counting (retry processing function or second processing function), the number of banknotes to be re-counted accumulated in the reject unit 40 is relatively small, so that the processing efficiency of banknotes can be improved. .

  As another aspect in the present embodiment, the stacker setting unit 68 accumulates banknotes for each of the banknote classification types set by the classification type setting unit 66 based on account information of banknotes to be processed. The unit 30 or the reject unit 40 may be set to be accumulated. Here, the account information refers to information relating to a banknote affiliation, an administrator, and the like that are to be counted by the banknote processing apparatus 10.

  In this case, the storage unit 64 connected to the control unit 60 stores in advance the relationship between each classification type and the stacker (the stacking unit 30 and the reject unit 40) in correspondence with the account information of the banknote to be processed. It may be like this. Specifically, when the combination of banknote classification types is a combination of a genuine note and a non-performing bill, for example, as shown in FIG. The relationship between each classification type and the stacker (stacking unit 30 and rejecting unit 40) may be stored in advance in correspondence with the bank number to which the banknote belongs.

  When the bill processing apparatus 10 performs bill counting processing, first, the operator inputs account information of bills to be processed to the control unit 60 by using, for example, the operation display unit 62 or the like. When the account information of the banknote to be processed is input to the control unit 60, the stacker setting unit 68 receives the banknote for each of the banknote classification types based on the input information and the storage content of the storage unit 64. It is set to be accumulated in the accumulation unit 30 or the reject unit 40. More specifically, for example, when “12345”, which is the serial number of the XX company, is input to the control unit 60 by the operator, the stacker setting unit 68 accumulates the correct bills in the stacking unit 30 and also the damaged bill Is set to be accumulated in the reject unit 40. In this case, the banknote handling apparatus 10 performs banknote processing as shown in STEP 11 to STEP 35 in the flowcharts of FIGS. 5A and 5B. On the other hand, when the bill processing apparatus 10 performs bill counting processing, if the operator inputs “54321”, which is the serial number of △△ Shokai, to the control unit 60, the stacker setting unit 68 accumulates the damaged bills. It is set that the correct ticket is accumulated in the reject unit 40 while being accumulated in the unit 30. In this case, the banknote handling apparatus 10 performs banknote processing as shown in STEP 41 to STEP 65 in the flowcharts of FIGS. 6A and 6B.

  According to such an operation of the banknote handling apparatus 10, banknotes are accumulated in either the stacking unit 30 or the rejecting unit 40 for each of the banknote classification types according to the account information of the banknotes to be counted by the banknote handling apparatus 10. You can change the setting. That is, even when there are a plurality of banknote affiliations and managers in the banknote processing device 10, the banknotes are collected for each of the banknote classification types for each affiliation and administrator. The stacker setting unit 68 can perform setting as to which of the reject units 40 is to be accumulated.

  Specifically, for example, when banknotes brought into the banknote processing apparatus 10 from △△ Shokai generally contain more non-performing tickets than the main banknotes, each classification type for each account information as shown in FIG. When the banknote processing device 10 performs counting processing of banknotes of Δ △ business by storing the relationship between the banknote and the stacker in the storage unit 64, the stacker setting unit 68 stacks the non-performing banknote into the stacking unit 30. And the setting is made so that the correct ticket is accumulated in the reject unit 40. As a result, a relatively large number of non-issued tickets are accumulated in the accumulating unit 30, and a relatively small number of genuine notes are accumulated in the rejecting unit 40. On the other hand, for example, when banknotes brought into the banknote processing apparatus 10 from OO Shokai generally include more regular bills than non-performing bills, each classification type (correct bill and non-performing bill) for each account information as shown in FIG. By storing the relationship with the stacker in the storage unit 64, when the banknote processing apparatus 10 performs counting processing of banknotes from the XX company, the stacker setting unit 68 accumulates the correct bills in the stacking unit 30 and loses them. Settings are made so that tickets are accumulated in the reject unit 40. As a result, a relatively large number of genuine notes are accumulated in the accumulating unit 30, and a relatively small number of non-issued tickets are accumulated in the rejecting unit 40.

  In this way, even when banknotes are counted by the banknote processing apparatus 10 when the banknote affiliations, managers, and the like are various, the number of banknotes sent to the reject unit 40 in the first counting process is reduced. When the banknote is recounted (retry processing function or second processing function), the number of banknotes to be recounted in the reject unit 40 is relatively small. Processing efficiency can be improved.

  As still another aspect of the present embodiment, the stacker setting unit 68 uses the classification type based on both the account information of the banknote to be processed and the identification information of the banknote first identified by the identification counting unit 20. For each of the banknote classification types set by the setting unit 66, it may be set to which of the stacking unit 30 or the reject unit 40 the banknotes are stacked.

  In this case, the storage unit 64 connected to the control unit 60 stores each classification type and stacker (stacking unit 30 and rejecting unit 40) for each account information of banknotes to be processed and for each denomination of banknotes. The relationship may be stored in advance. Specifically, when the combination of banknote classification types is a combination of a correct note and a damaged note, the storage unit 64 stores, for example, as shown in FIG. The relationship between each classification type for each denomination (correct ticket and non-performing ticket) and the stacker may be stored in advance.

  When the bill processing apparatus 10 performs bill counting processing, first, the operator inputs account information of bills to be processed to the control unit 60 by using, for example, the operation display unit 62 or the like.

  Next, in the first counting process of banknotes, the operator places the banknotes to be counted in a stacked state on the placement unit 14, and operates the operation key 62 b (specifically, “ When a command to start counting bills is given to the control unit 60 by pressing the “START / STOP” key), the bills placed in a stacked state on the placement unit 14 are sequentially 1 from the bills in the lowest layer Sheets are fed one by one to the transport section 18 in the housing 12. At this time, information on the denomination of the banknote first fed out to the transport unit 18 in the housing 12 and identified by the identification counting unit 20 is sent to the control unit 60. The stacker setting unit 68 is based on the banknote account information first input to the control unit 60 and the denomination of the banknote first identified by the identification counting unit 20. For each, it is set whether the banknotes are stacked in the stacking unit 30 or the rejecting unit 40.

  More specifically, for example, “12345”, which is the serial number of XX Shokai, is input to the control unit 60 by the operator, and the banknote first identified by the identification counting unit 20 is a 5-euro banknote. In some cases, the stacker setting unit 68 sets the stacking of the non-performing ticket in the stacking unit 30 and the stacking of the correct ticket in the rejecting unit 40. In this case, the second and subsequent banknotes are processed as shown in STEP 41 to STEP 65 in the flowcharts of FIGS. 6A and 6B. On the other hand, for example, when “54321” which is the serial number of the Δ △ company is input to the control unit 60 by the operator, which denomination is the denomination of the banknote first identified by the identification counting unit 20 Even if there is, the stacker setting unit 68 sets that the correct bill is accumulated in the accumulating unit 30 and that the defective ticket is accumulated in the reject unit 40. In this case, for the second and subsequent bills, processing as shown in STEP 11 to STEP 35 in the flowcharts of FIGS. 5A and 5B is performed.

  At this time, in each of the first and second counting processes of the banknote, the denomination of the banknote identified by the identification counting section 20 is first identified by the identification counting section 20 in the first counting process of the banknote. When the denomination is different from the denominated banknote, the banknote is sent to the reject unit 40.

  According to the operation of the banknote processing device 10 as described above, the account information of the banknote to be counted by the banknote processing device 10 and the denomination of the banknote first identified by the identification counting unit 20 are used. It is possible to change the setting of whether the banknotes are stacked in the stacking unit 30 or the rejecting unit 40 for each classification type. That is, when the denominations of the plurality of banknotes placed on the placement unit 14 of the banknote handling apparatus 10 are considered to be substantially the same, the banknote account information input to the control unit 60 and the identification counting unit 20 Based on the identification result of the first identified banknote, the banknote processing is performed by the stacker setting unit 68 performing setting as to whether the banknotes are to be stacked in the stacking unit 30 or the rejecting unit 40 for each of the banknote classification types. It becomes possible to process banknotes suitable for the banknotes to be counted and processed by the apparatus 10, the manager, and the denomination of the banknotes.
