  Next, an operation of taking out a bundle of banknotes accumulated in the temporary arrangement and holding unit 160 and sending it to the banding unit 212 by the arm unit 210 having such a configuration will be described.

  First, when a predetermined number of banknotes (for example, 100) constituting a banded banknote are accumulated in one of the upper and lower arrangement temporary storage sections 160, the main body portion 21 of the arm section 210 slides. 2 moves along the horizontal plane along the rail 34 and moves up and down in the vertical direction including the advancing / retracting member 22 provided on the main body portion 21, so that the advancing / retreating member 22 is It comes to be located in the place which faces the arrangement | temporary temporary storage part 160 in which the banknote of the number of sheets was integrated | stacked. Then, the advancing / retreating member 22 advances toward the organizing temporary holding unit 160 with respect to the main body portion 21 so that the hands 23, 24, 25 enter the organizing temporary holding unit 160. At this time, since the guide portion 30 is maintained at a position slightly away from each hand 23, 24, 25, the operation pin 28 provided on the hand support member 26 that supports the third hand 25 is provided in the guide portion 30. The three hands 23, 24, and 25 all enter the organizing temporary storage unit 160 without contacting the guide surface 32. The position (state) of the arm unit 210 at this time is defined as a first advanced position (state) that is a position where the arm part 210 is advanced. A bundle of banknotes (indicated by reference symbol P in FIGS. 4 and 8) held in the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160 is sandwiched from above and below by the hands 23, 24, and 25 that have entered the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160. Is done.

  When a bundle of banknotes is sandwiched between the hands 23, 24, 25, the advancing / retreating member 22 moves to the right in FIG. , 25 come out of the temporary arrangement and holding unit 160. The position (state) of the arm unit 210 at this time is defined as a first retracted position (state) that is a position retracted from the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160. FIGS. 5 and 9 show a state where the arm part 210 is in the first retracted position (state). Then, after the arm portion 210 has moved to the first retracted position (state), the main body portion 21 of the arm portion 210 moves upward in FIG. 2 along the slide rail 34 and faces the band sealing portion 212. It comes to be located in the place shown by the two-dot chain line of 2. The state of the arm part 210 at this time is shown in FIGS. Note that the position (state) of the arm part 210 at this time is a second retreat position (state) retreated from the banding part 212. As described above, when the main body portion 21 of the arm portion 210 moves along the slide rail 34 to the second retracted position (the position of the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2) facing the band sealing portion 212, the main body portion 21 of the arm portion 210. When the guide portion 30 collides with the fixed frame 36 that divides the moving space, the guide portion 30 is pushed by the frame 36 to move downward in FIG. 2 and approaches each hand 23, 24, 25. It is located at a place, that is, a place where it can come into contact with the operating pin 28.

  Thereafter, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 2, the advancing / retreating member 22 advances toward the banding part 212 with respect to the main body part 21, and the first hand 23 and the second hand 24 enter the banding part 212. . The position (state) of the arm part 210 at this time is defined as a second advance position (state) that has advanced to the band sealing part 212. 7 and 11 show a state where the arm part 210 is in the second advanced position (state). When the advancing / retracting member 22 advances toward the band sealing portion 212 with respect to the main body portion 21 (that is, the arm portion 210 is moved from the second retracted position (state) as shown in FIGS. 6 and 10 to FIGS. 7 and 7). When moving to the second advance position (state) as shown in FIG. 11), the third hand 25 moves from a gripping position for gripping a bundle of banknotes to a separating position for separating the banknote bundle. Become. More specifically, when the advancing / retracting member 22 advances toward the band sealing portion 212 with respect to the main body portion 21, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. The operation pin 28 comes into contact with the guide surface 32 of the portion 30 and is pressed downward by the guide surface 32 of the guide portion 30 in FIG. For this reason, the hand support member 26 rotates about 80 degrees in the clockwise direction in FIG. Evacuate outside. In this way, when the arm unit 210 is in the second advanced position (state), the third hand 25 moves from a gripping position for gripping a bundle of banknotes to a separating position for separating the banknote bundle, The third hand 25 is prevented from entering the band sealing portion 212.

  In the banding part 212, the banknotes that are sandwiched between the first hand 23 and the second hand 24 of the arm part 210 (where the arm part 210 is the second part) When transitioning to the advanced position (state), the band-wrapping paper is wound around a portion that is vacant as the third hand 25 retracts. As a result, a bundling operation is performed in the bundling portion 212. When a banded paper is wound around a bundle of banknotes to form a banded banknote, the first hand 23 and the second hand 24 release the banded banknote, and the banded banknote is transferred from the banded part 212 to the banded banknote transport part. 216 is conveyed. After the first hand 23 and the second hand 24 release the banded bill, the advance / retreat member 22 moves to the right in FIG. The second hand 24 comes out of the band sealing portion 212. In this way, the arm unit 210 returns to the second retracted position (state) as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 show a case where the advancing / retreating member 22 faces the upper organizing temporary holding unit 160.

  Next, details of the configuration of the band sealing portion 212 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 12 to 16 are side views showing the configuration of the banding part 212. FIG. 12 is a view showing a standby state before a bundle of banknotes is sent to the banding part 212 by the arm part 210. FIG. 13 is a view showing a state when a bundle of banknotes is sent to the band sealing part 212 by the arm part 210. FIG. 14 to FIG. 16 are views showing a state in the middle when the bundling operation of the bundle of banknotes is performed by the bundling unit 212. FIG. 17 is a view schematically showing a state of a bundle of banknotes immediately after the banding paper is wound in the banding unit 212. FIG. 18A is a side view showing the position of the tape holder 250 in a standby state before a bundle of banknotes is sent to the banding section 212 by the arm section 210 in the banknote processing machine of the prior art. FIG.18 (b) is a side view which shows the position of the tape holder 250 in the standby state before the bundle | flux of a banknote is sent to the banding part 212 by the arm part 210 in the banknote processing machine of this Embodiment. is there. Moreover, FIG. 19 is a figure which shows the structure of the slit 250c provided in the lower tape holder part 250b in the tape holder 250 of the banknote processing machine of this Embodiment. In FIG. 12 to FIG. 19, a bundle of banknotes to be subjected to the bundling process in the bundling portion 212 is indicated by a reference symbol P, a bundling paper is indicated by a reference symbol Q, and a heat seal portion is indicated by a reference symbol R.

  As described above, the banding unit 212 is wound by winding the banding paper sent from the tape setting unit 214 around the bundle of banknotes sent from the organizing and temporary holding unit 160 to the banding unit 212 by the arm unit 210. Processing is to be performed. Here, as shown in FIG. 12 and the like, the band seal portion 212 is provided with a pair of guide portions (a first guide portion 240 and a second guide portion 242). Further, a bundle of banknotes is sent from the right side in FIG. 12 or the like to the band-wrapping part 212 by the arm part 210, and is sandwiched between the hands 23, 24, 25 of the arm part 210 at this time. The bundle of bills being guided is guided by the pair of guide portions 240 and 242 and is positioned at a position between the guide portions 240 and 242. Note that the pair of guide portions 240 and 242 are configured such that the frontage becomes wider toward the right side in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 12 and the like, a tape reel 215 is provided in the tape setting unit 214 for supplying the banding paper to the banding unit 212, and the banding unit 212 is unwound from the tape reel 215. A tape guide 213 is provided for guiding the band seal paper to a tape holder 250 described later.

  Further, the banding part 212 is provided with a tape holder 250 that holds the leading end portion of the banding paper guided by the tape guide 213 and a tape holder support part 252 that supports the tape holder 250. As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the tape holder 250 includes a first tape holder portion 250a and a second tape holder portion 250b, and the first tape holder portion 250a and the second tape holder portion 250b. The tip of the band seal paper is held between the two. The tape holder support portion 252 rotates around the rotation shaft 252a in the clockwise direction in FIG. 12 and the like, and as shown in FIGS. When the bundle is positioned, the tape holder support portion 252 rotates around the rotation shaft 252a, whereby the band-wrapping paper is wound around the bundle of bills by the tape holder 250 supported by the tape holder support portion 252. .

  The operation of winding the band seal paper around the banknote bundle by the tape holder 250 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 13, when a bundle of banknotes is sent to a position between the pair of guide sections 240 and 242 by the arm section 210 and the bundle of banknotes is stopped, the tape holder support section 252 is centered on the rotation shaft 252a. Start spinning. 14 and 15, when the tape holder support 252 rotates to a position where the tape holder 250 is close to the bottom surface of the banknote bundle, the tape holder support 252 temporarily stops. . Thereafter, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 16, the tape guide 213 pulls the band seal paper in the direction of rewinding the tape reel 215. As a result, tension is applied to the banding paper wound around the banknote bundle, and the banding paper is tightly wound around the banknote bundle.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram schematically showing an easy-to-understand state of a banknote bundle immediately after the band seal paper is wound by the tape holder 250. As shown in FIG. 17, when a banding paper is wound around a bundle of banknotes, the banding paper wound around the banknotes is heated by a heating mechanism (not shown). As a result, the adhesive layer provided on one side of the banding paper is melted, and the banding papers are bonded to each other at the heat sealing location indicated by reference symbol R in FIG. Thereafter, the band seal paper sent from the tape guide 213 toward the tape holder 250 is cut by a cutting unit such as a cutter (not shown). Further, the tape holder portions 250a and 250b of the tape holder 250 are moved in the direction orthogonal to the paper surface of FIG. In this way, a banded banknote in which a banded paper is wound in the banding part 212 is formed.

  Here, the position (standby position) of the tape holder 250 in the standby state of the band sealing part 212 before the bundle of banknotes is sent between the pair of guide parts 240 and 242 by the arm part 210 will be described with reference to FIG. A description will be given comparing the form and the prior art. As described above, FIG. 18A shows a tape holder in a standby state before a bundle of banknotes is sent between the pair of guide sections 240 and 242 by the arm section 210 in the banknote processing machine of the prior art. 18B is a side view showing the position of 250, and FIG. 18B is a stand-by before a bundle of banknotes is sent between the pair of guide sections 240 and 242 by the arm section 210 in the banknote handling machine of the present embodiment. It is a side view which shows the position of the tape holder 250 when it exists in a state. In FIG. 18, an arrow indicates a direction in which a bundle of banknotes is sent between the pair of guide portions 240 and 242 by the arm portion 210.

  In the banknote processing machine of the prior art, as shown in FIG. 18A, the tape holder 250 is in a standby state before a bundle of banknotes is sent between the pair of guide parts 240 and 242 by the arm part 210. Is waiting at a position on the near side of the first guide part 240 in the banknote bundle feeding direction (arrow direction in FIG. 18). However, when the tape holder 250 is waiting at such a position, the bills constituting the bundle of bills are used up and are in a state of being drooled, and the end of the bundle of bills spreads in a so-called fan shape. Sometimes (see the bundle of banknotes indicated by reference symbol P in FIG. 18), the end of the banknote bundle conveyed by the arm portion 210 is placed on the tape holder 250 before being sent between the pair of guide portions 240, 242. There is a risk of contact. In this case, there is a problem that a bundle of banknotes cannot be accurately set in the banding part 212 and an error occurs in the banding part 212.

  On the other hand, in the banknote handling machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18B, the arm unit 210 is in a standby state before a bundle of banknotes is sent between the pair of guide units 240 and 242. Sometimes, the tape holder 250 stands by at a position outside the region between the pair of guide portions 240 and 242 and its extension line (indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 18B). Thus, even when the bills constituting the bundle of bills are exhausted and the end of the bundle of bills spreads in a so-called fan shape, the bundle of bills conveyed by the arm unit 210. Is not brought into contact with the tape holder 250 before being fed between the pair of guide portions 240 and 242. When the tape holder 250 stands by at a position as shown in FIG. 18B, the tape holder 250 integrally bundles the banknotes conveyed by the arm part 210 with the first guide part 240. It has a function to guide.

  In addition, when the banding paper is wound around the bundle of banknotes by the tape holder 250 in the banding section 212 as shown in FIG. 17, the banding paper wound around the bundle of banknotes is heated by a heating mechanism (not shown). 17, in addition to the heat seal location indicated by reference symbol R in FIG. 17, one side of the bandage paper (the side facing the banknote bundle of the bandage paper wound with the banknote bundle) at the location indicated by reference numeral R ′ adjacent to the heat seal location. When the adhesive layer provided on the surface is melted, the band seal paper may adhere to the lower surface of the second tape holder portion 250b. When the band seal paper adheres to the lower surface of the second tape holder portion 250b, the tape holder portions 250a and 250b of the tape holder 250 are moved in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. When the paper is pulled out from the banded paper, the banded paper also moves together with the second tape holder portion 250b, and the banded paper may be detached from the bundle of banknotes. In the conventional banknote handling machine, Teflon coating is performed on the lower surface of the second tape holder portion 250b in order to prevent the band seal paper from adhering to the lower surface of the second tape holder portion 250b. However, when such Teflon coating is performed, there is a problem that the cost of parts of the tape holder 250 is increased.

  On the other hand, in the banknote handling machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, instead of performing Teflon coating on the lower surface of the second tape holder portion 250b, on the lower surface of the second tape holder portion 250b, One or more (in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 17 and indicated by an arrow in FIG. 19) extending in the direction of pulling out each tape holder portion 250a, 250b from the banding paper wound around the bundle of banknotes ( In the example shown in FIG. 19, four) slits 250c are provided. As a result, the lower surface of the second tape holder portion 250b is divided into a plurality of regions by the slits 250c, and the area of each region is reduced, so that the band seal paper adheres to the lower surface of the second tape holder portion 250b. It becomes difficult to do. As described above, in the banknote handling machine of the present embodiment, the band seal paper can be prevented from adhering to the lower surface of the second tape holder portion 250b by the tape holder 250 having a relatively low part cost. .

  Moreover, in the banknote processing machine of this Embodiment, sensors, such as an optical timing sensor which detects passage of the banknote conveyed, etc. in the deposit conveyance part 114, the withdrawal conveyance part 150, etc. of the banknote storage unit 100, It can be cleaned with the bills being conveyed. More specifically, dust or the like is present on the surface of an optical sensor (specifically, the surface of the light emitting element, the surface of the light receiving element, the end face of the prism, etc.) provided in the deposit conveyance unit 114 or the withdrawal conveyance unit 150. If there is a risk, the detection performance of the bills by the sensor may be deteriorated. For this reason, the surface of the sensor is slid by sliding the surface of the sensor by the bills conveyed by the depositing and conveying unit 114 or the dispensing and conveying unit 150. Dust and the like adhering to the surface are removed.

  About the structure which cleans the optical sensor provided in such a deposit conveyance part 114 or the withdrawal conveyance part 150 with the banknote conveyed, the withdrawal conveyance part 150 is mentioned as an example using FIG. 20 thru | or FIG.

In addition, in order to show that the code | symbol (148a, 148b, 148c) of a light emitting element, a light receiving element, or a prism is immediately after leaving the payment | withdrawal identification part 148 of the payment | withdrawal conveyance part 150, Relevant code. Further, it goes without saying that the sensor cleaning method described in FIGS. 22 to 26 can also be applied to cleaning of sensors used in other conveyance paths other than the dispensing conveyance unit 150.

  Next, operation | movement of the banknote processing machine which consists of such a structure is demonstrated. In addition, operation | movement of the banknote processing machine as shown below is performed when the control part 10 controls each component of the banknote storage unit 100 and the banknote banding unit 200 of the said banknote processing machine.

  First, the operation | movement at the time of performing a money_receiving | payment process in the banknote storage unit 100 of a banknote processing machine is demonstrated. When the banknote handling machine is in a standby state, the operator gives a command to start the deposit process to the control unit 10 by an operation unit (not shown) such as a touch panel or a keyboard provided on the front surface or the upper surface of the housing 102. When the bills are inserted into the bill insertion unit 110 while being input, the bills inserted into the bill insertion unit 110 are fed one by one into the housing 102 by the bill feeding unit 112 and conveyed by the deposit conveyance unit 114. become. And the banknote conveyed by the deposit conveyance section 114 is identified by the deposit identification section 116 as to its denomination, authenticity, correctness, old and new, and the like. The front and back of the banknote identified by the deposit identification unit 116 is adjusted by the front / back reversing unit 118. Specifically, among the banknotes sent to the front / back reversing unit 118, for example, only the banknotes whose back side is the upper side are reversed, so that all the banknotes issued from the front / back reversing unit 118 are on the front surface ( Otemen) comes to the top. Further, the banknote identified as not a normal banknote by the deposit recognition unit 116, that is, the reject banknote, is sent from the deposit transport unit 114 to the deposit reject unit 120. The deposit reject unit 120 is accessible from the outside of the housing 102 of the bill storage unit 100, and when all the bills inserted into the bill insertion unit 110 are drawn out into the housing 102, the operator rejects the deposit reject unit. The reject banknotes accumulated in 120 are manually taken out and reinserted into the banknote insertion unit 110.

  On the other hand, the banknotes identified as normal banknotes by the deposit recognition unit 116 are sent to the collective temporary storage unit 130 or each denomination temporary storage unit 132 by the deposit transport unit 114 and temporarily stored in these temporary storage units. It will be put on hold. Specifically, the banknote identified by the depositing identification unit 116 as a normal banknote is sent to the denomination temporary holding unit 132 of the corresponding denomination. Is in a full state, the bill is sent to the collective temporary holding unit 130. When all the bills inserted into the bill insertion unit 110 are fed into the housing 102 and sent to the deposit rejection unit 120, the collective temporary storage unit 130, or each denomination temporary storage unit 132, the deposit is made to the operator. A message prompting for confirmation is displayed on a display unit (not shown) such as a monitor. At this time, when the operator inputs a payment confirmation command through the operation unit, the banknotes temporarily held in the batch temporary storage unit 130 or each denomination temporary storage unit 132 are transferred to the corresponding batch banknote storage 140 or The money is sent to each denomination banknote storage 142 and stored in these banknote storages. In this way, a series of operations related to deposit processing in the banknote storage unit 100 of the banknote processing machine is completed.

  Next, the operation | movement at the time of performing the payment | withdrawal process of a loose banknote with the banknote storage unit 100 of a banknote processing machine is demonstrated. When the banknote processing machine is in a standby state, if the operator inputs a command to start a withdrawal process and the number of coins to be dispensed, the total amount of money, etc. to the control unit 10 by the operation unit, Banknotes of denominations to be deducted are fed from the denomination banknote storage 142 one by one to the lower transport section 146 by the banknote feeding section 144. And the banknote conveyed by the lower conveyance part 146 identifies the denomination, authenticity, correctness, old and new, etc. by the withdrawal identification part 148, and the banknote identified by the withdrawal identification part 148 is the withdrawal conveyance part 150. Are conveyed one by one. A banknote identified as not a normal banknote by the withdrawal identifying unit 148, that is, a reject banknote, is sent from the withdrawal transport unit 150 to the withdrawal reject unit 154. In addition, when taking out the reject banknotes accumulated in the withdrawal reject unit 154 after the withdrawal process is completed in the banknote storage unit 100, the operator provides a door (not shown) provided on the housing 102 of the banknote storage unit 100. Is opened, and the reject banknote in the withdrawal rejection unit 154 is taken out. Further, the banknotes identified as normal banknotes by the withdrawal identifying unit 148 are sent to the rose banknote dispensing unit 152 by the withdrawal transport unit 150 and accumulated in the loose banknote dispensing unit 152. The loose banknote dispensing unit 152 is accessible from the outside of the housing 102 of the banknote storage unit 100, and when the withdrawal process is completed in the banknote storage unit 100, the operator is accumulated in the bulk banknote dispensing unit 152. The banknotes will be removed manually. In this way, a series of operations related to the withdrawal process in the banknote storage unit 100 of the banknote handling machine is completed.

  Next, the operation | movement at the time of performing a close examination process by the banknote storage unit 100 of a banknote processing machine is demonstrated. When the banknote processing machine is in a standby state, when an operator inputs a command for starting a scrutiny process to the control unit 10 by an operation unit, or when a preset time outside business hours of a financial institution or a store is reached The banknotes stored in the collective banknote storage 140 or each denomination banknote storage 142 are fed out from the collective banknote storage 140 or each denomination banknote storage 142 to the lower transport unit 146 by the banknote feeding unit 144. The gold identification unit 148 performs identification and counting, and a scrutiny process is performed to return the identified and counted banknotes to the collective banknote storage 140 and each denomination banknote storage 142 from which the banknotes are fed. Specifically, banknotes stored in the collective banknote storage 140 are fed one by one from the collective banknote storage 140 to the lower transport unit 146 by the banknote feeding unit 144. And the banknote conveyed by the lower conveyance part 146 is identified and counted by the withdrawal identification part 148. Here, the banknote identified as not being a normal banknote by the withdrawal identifying unit 148, that is, the reject banknote, is sent from the withdrawal transport unit 150 to the withdrawal reject unit 154. Also, the banknote identified as a normal banknote by the withdrawal identifying unit 148 is sent from the withdrawal transport unit 150 to the front / back reversing unit 118. Then, the banknotes sent to the front / back reversing unit 118 are adjusted to the front / back by the front / back reversing unit 118, and then sent to the batch temporary holding unit 130 corresponding to the batch banknote storage 140. Temporarily put on hold. When all the banknotes are fed out from the collective banknote storage 140 and sent to the collective temporary storage unit 130, the banknotes temporarily held by the collective temporary storage unit 130 are sent to the collective banknote storage 140.

  More precisely, since the collective temporary storage unit 130 has a smaller volume than the collective banknote storage 140, the number of banknotes stored in the collective banknote storage 140 is large, and the collective temporary storage unit 130 When it does not fit in once, this banknote is sent to the batch banknote storage 140 when the batch temporary storage part 130 becomes full. The collective banknote storage 140 is partitioned by a vertically movable separator (not shown), and the counted banknotes sent from the collective temporary storage unit 130 are accumulated on the separator. Under the separator, uncounted banknotes to be scrutinized are stored, and counted banknotes and uncounted banknotes are not mixed. The banknotes are counted and sent from the batch banknote storage 140 to the empty batch temporary storage unit 130. This operation is repeated to count all the banknotes stored in the collective banknote storage 140. All bills that have been counted are collected on the separator. Then, the separator retracts to the outside of the collective bill storage 140 and returns the bill on the separator to the original position on the lower side of the separator. The above operation is the same for the relationship between the denomination-type banknote storage 142 and the denomination-type temporary storage unit 132 in the scrutiny processing of banknotes stored in the denomination-type banknote storage 142 described later.

  The banknotes stored in each denomination banknote storage 142 are fed from the denomination banknote storage 142 one by one to the lower transport section 146 for each denomination banknote storage 142. And the banknote conveyed by the lower conveyance part 146 is identified and counted by the withdrawal identification part 148. Here, the banknote identified as not being a normal banknote by the withdrawal identifying unit 148, that is, the reject banknote, is sent from the withdrawal transport unit 150 to the withdrawal reject unit 154. Also, the banknote identified as a normal banknote by the withdrawal identifying unit 148 is sent from the withdrawal transport unit 150 to the front / back reversing unit 118. And the banknote sent to the front / back reversing part 118 is sent to the denomination temporary storage part 132 corresponding to the denomination banknote storage 142 where the banknote is fed out after the front / back reversing part 118 prepares the front / back. Is temporarily held by the denomination temporary holding unit 132. When all banknotes are drawn from the denomination banknote storage 142 and sent to the denomination temporary storage unit 132, the banknotes temporarily held by the denomination temporary storage unit 132 are sent to the denomination banknote storage 142. It is done. Such an operation is performed for each denomination banknote storage 142.

  Next, the operation | movement at the time of performing a bound banknote preparation process with the banknote storage unit 100 and the banknote banding unit 200 of a banknote processing machine is demonstrated. When the operator inputs the instruction for starting the banded banknote creation process and one or more denominations of the banded banknote to be created to the control unit 10 by the operation unit when the banknote handling machine is in the standby state, The banknotes corresponding to the denominations of the banded banknotes to be created by the unit 200 are fed out one by one from each denomination banknote storage 142 to the lower transport section 146 by the banknote feeding section 144. Alternatively, banknotes may be fed from the collective banknote storage 140 one by one to the lower transport unit 146 by the banknote feeding unit 144. And the banknote conveyed by the lower conveyance part 146 identifies the denomination, authenticity, correctness, old and new, etc. by the withdrawal identification part 148, and the banknote identified by the withdrawal identification part 148 is the withdrawal conveyance part 150. Are conveyed one by one. A banknote identified as not a normal banknote by the withdrawal identifying unit 148, that is, a reject banknote, is sent from the withdrawal transport unit 150 to the withdrawal reject unit 154. Further, among the banknotes identified as normal banknotes by the withdrawal identifying unit 148, banknotes corresponding to the denominations of the banded banknotes to be created by the banknote banding unit 200 are arranged by the withdrawal transport unit 150, respectively. 160. In each organized temporary storage unit 160, the banknotes sent from the dispensing transport unit 150 are stacked in a stacked state. Then, when a predetermined number of banknotes (for example, 100 sheets) constituting the banded banknotes are accumulated in the respective temporary suspending units 160, the bundle of banknotes accumulated in the respective temporary banking units 160 is stored in the banknote banding unit 200. It is taken out from the organizing temporary storage unit 160 by the arm unit 210 and conveyed to the banding unit 212 of the banknote banding unit 200. Then, in the banknote banding unit 200, a banding paper is sent from the tape setting unit 214 to the banding part 212, and a bundle of a predetermined number of banknotes is banded with the banding paper in the banding part 212. The banded banknotes banded by the banding part 212 are conveyed to the banded banknote dispensing part 218 by the banded banknote conveying part 216. The banded banknote dispensing unit 218 is accessible from the outside of the housing 202 of the banknote banding unit 200 so that the operator can manually remove the banded banknote sent to the banded banknote dispensing unit 218. Become. Of the banded banknotes banded by the banding part 212, banded banknotes that are not thrown out of the housing 202 by the banded banknote dispensing part 218 are transferred to the banded banknote storage cassettes 230 by the banded banknote storage and dispensing transport unit 220. Stored in denominations.

  In addition, in the banknote processing machine of this Embodiment, when conveying the banknote banknote preparation process mentioned above, when conveying the banknote accommodated in the lump banknote storage 140 in the banknote storage unit 100 to each arrangement | positioning temporary storage part 160 below, The operation as shown is performed. First, the operation | movement at the time of conveying the banknote accommodated in the collective banknote storage 140 in the banknote processing machine of a prior art as a comparison object to each arrangement | positioning temporary storage part 160 is demonstrated. When the operator inputs one or more denominations of the banded banknotes to be created by the banknote banding unit 200 to the control unit 10 by the operation unit, the banknotes are conveyed one by one from the collective banknote storage 140 by the banknote feeding unit 144. After being fed to the unit 146 and identified by the withdrawal identifying unit 148, the money type of the banknote identified by the withdrawal identifying unit 148 and the money of the banded banknote input by the operator to the control unit 10 When the seeds match, the banknote is sent to each organizing temporary storage unit 160. On the other hand, when the denomination of the banknote identified by the withdrawal identification unit 148 and the denomination of the banded banknote input by the operator to the control unit 10 by the operation unit do not match, the banknote is turned upside down by the withdrawal transport unit 150. It is sent to the reversing unit 118, sent from the front / back reversing unit 118 to the collective temporary storage unit 130, temporarily held by the collective temporary storage unit 130, and then returned to the collective banknote storage 140. When the number of banknotes accumulated in each organized temporary storage unit 160 approaches a predetermined number (for example, 100) that should constitute a banded banknote, the banknotes fed out from the collective banknote storage 140 are each organized temporarily stored unit 160. Alternatively, intermittent control is performed so that the next banknote is not delivered from the collective banknote storage 140 until it is sent to the collective temporary storage unit 130. In the collective banknote storage 140, banknotes of a plurality of denominations are stored in a mixed state, and it is not known in which order the banknotes of the denomination are fed out from the collective banknote storage 140, but the intermittent control as described above is performed. By going and temporarily reducing the processing speed of banknotes, only the banknote corresponding to the denomination of the banded banknote input by the operator to the control unit 10 by the operation unit can be reliably sent to each temporary suspending unit 160. become able to.

  However, in the banknote processing machine of the prior art, by performing such intermittent control, it takes time to transport a predetermined number of banknotes from the collective banknote storage 140 to each sorting temporary storage unit 160 in the banded banknote creation process. There was a problem that sometimes. For example, in the collective banknote storage 140, when 99 thousand yen bills, 200 thousand yen bills and 50 ten thousand yen bills are stored in the order in which the banknotes are fed from the collective banknote storage 140, When the operator inputs two denominations of a thousand yen bill and a 10,000 yen bill to the control unit 10 as denominations of the banded bills to be created by the unit 200, 99 bills of 10,000 yen bills are stored in a lump sum bill. Intermittent control is performed when it is fed out from the storage 140 and sent to the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160, and intermittent control is performed when 200 thousand yen bills are sent from the collective banknote storage 140 to the arrangement and temporary storage unit 160. Because it will be done all the time, it will take a very long time.

  On the other hand, in the banknote handling machine of the present embodiment, when the operator inputs one or more denominations of the banded banknote to be created by the banknote banding unit 200 to the control unit 10 by the operation unit, the input banding is performed. When the number of denominations of the banknote is one, the above-described intermittent control is not performed, and when the number of denominations of the input banded banknote is two or more, the banknote banding unit When the banknote corresponding to the final banded banknote to be created by 200 is fed out from the collective banknote storage 140, the above-described intermittent control is performed. On the other hand, when the number of denominations of the banded banknotes input is two or more, the intermittent control described above is not performed until the banknotes corresponding to the final banded banknotes are paid out from the collective banknote storage 140. Yes. In the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment, by performing such control, the time during which intermittent control is performed can be significantly shortened. The time required for the operation of transporting a predetermined number of bills to the temporary storage unit 160 can be shortened.

  According to the banknote handling machine of the present embodiment configured as described above, the control unit 10 feeds out the banknotes stored in each banknote storage from the banknote storage to the lower transport unit 146 one by one. While being conveyed from the lower conveying section 146 to the dispensing conveying section 150, the dispensing identifying section 148 performs identification and counting, and the identified and counted banknotes are directly stored in the banknote storage where the banknotes are fed out. The scrutiny process to return to is done. As described above, in the scrutiny processing, the banknotes stored in the collective banknote storage 140 among the plurality of banknote storages are also fed out from the collective banknote storage 140 one by one to the lower transport unit 146 and the lower transport unit 146. The bill is recognized and counted by the withdrawal identification unit 148 while being conveyed to the withdrawal conveyance unit 150, and the identified and counted banknote is directly returned to the collective banknote storage 140 from which the banknote has been fed out. By performing the above, it is possible to perform a scrutiny process in a short time for the banknotes stored in the collective banknote storage 140.

  Further, in the conventional banknote handling machine, the front / back reversing unit 118 is generally provided above the depositing identification unit 116, whereas in the banknote handling machine of the present embodiment, below the depositing identification unit 116. The front / back reversing part 118 is provided on the front. Moreover, in the banknote processing machine of this Embodiment, compared with the banknote processing machine of a prior art, the curved location of the conveyance path of the banknote from the banknote insertion part 110 to the payment rejection part 120 in the deposit conveyance part 114 decreases. Yes. By these matters, the structure of the banknote conveyance path in the deposit conveyance section 114 is simplified, and the occurrence of banknote jams (clogging) in the conveyance path can be suppressed. Further, in the banknote processing machine of the prior art, there are three joints between the intermediate unit 400 or the storage unit 450 and the upper unit 460 in the deposit conveyance unit 114 or the withdrawal conveyance unit 150. In the banknote handling machine of the embodiment, the number of joints between the intermediate unit 400 or the storage unit 450 and the upper unit 460 in the deposit conveyance unit 114 or the withdrawal conveyance unit 150 can be reduced to two. This also makes it possible to suppress the occurrence of jamming (clogging) of banknotes in the conveyance path of the deposit conveyance unit 114 and the withdrawal conveyance unit 150.

  Further, in the banknote handling machine of the present embodiment, as described above, a plurality of temporary storage units are provided corresponding to each banknote storage, and the control unit 10 outputs a scrutinization process.

  Moreover, in the banknote processing machine of this Embodiment, as mentioned above, it is respectively connected to the bundling part 212 for bundling a bundle of a predetermined number of banknotes and the withdrawal conveyance part 150, and the height level is different from each other. A plurality of arrangement temporary storage units 160 in which banknotes to be banded are collected by the banding unit 212, and an arm unit 210 that takes out a bundle of banknotes accumulated in each of the organization temporary storage units 160 and conveys them to the banding unit 212. (Conveying mechanism) are provided, and the height level of the banding portion 212 is the same as the height level of one of the organized temporary storage units 160 among the plurality of organized temporary storage units 160. Here, in the banknote processing machine of the prior art, the band sealing part 212 is installed above the upper arrangement temporary storage part 160 of the upper and lower pair of temporary storage parts 160, and for this reason, the advance / retreat member 22 of the arm part 210 is provided. In the vertical direction of the up-and-down moving body including, there are three positions facing each of the temporary arrangement and holding sections 160 and the band-wrapping section 212. On the other hand, in the banknote handling machine of the present embodiment, the positions facing the organizing temporary storage unit 160 and the banding unit 212 in the vertical direction in the vertical moving body including the advance / retreat member 22 of the arm unit 210 are as shown in FIG. Since there are two places and the moving distance in the vertical direction of the up-and-down moving body can be reduced, the entire bill processing machine can be reduced in size, and the arm portion 210 can be connected to the banding portion 212 from each organizing temporary storage portion 160. The time required to move the bundle of banknotes can be shortened. Further, the vertical positioning control of the vertically moving body of the arm unit 210 may be performed in two places, which can be simplified.

  Moreover, in the banknote processing machine of this Embodiment, the arm part 210 has several hands 23, 24, 25 which hold | grip by clamping the bundle | flux of a banknote from the upper and lower sides, 24 and 25, the third hand 25 serves as a specific gripping member as a gripping position for gripping a bundle of banknotes (see FIGS. 4 to 6) and a retracted position for retracting from the gripping position and separating from the stack of banknotes (see FIG. (See FIG. 7). Further, when taking out a bundle of banknotes accumulated in each organizing temporary storage unit 160, the third hand 25 is positioned at the gripping position, and the bundle of banknotes gripped by the hands 23, 24, 25 is bundled in the banding unit 212. The third hand 25 is moved from the gripping position to the retracted position when it is sent to the position. Further, a guide portion 30 is provided for guiding the operating pin 28 that moves the third hand 25 between the gripping position and the retracted position, and when the main body portion 21 of the arm portion 210 approaches the band sealing portion 212. In addition, when the operating pin 28 comes into contact with the guide portion 30 and is pushed by the guide portion 30, the third hand 25 is moved from the gripping position to the retracted position.

  Moreover, in the banknote processing machine of this Embodiment, the guide part 30 is the advancing position (refer FIG. 6 and FIG. 7) which can contact | abut to the operating pin 28, and the retracted position (FIG. 4) retracted from the operating pin 28. And the guide portion 30 is retracted when the main body portion 21 of the arm portion 210 is moved from the position facing the organizing temporary holding portion 160 to the position facing the banding portion 212. To move to the advance position. Here, in the banknote processing machine of the prior art, the guide portion 30 that rotates the third hand 25 around the rotation shaft 27 by pressing the operating pin 28 has a height substantially the same as the height level of the band sealing portion 212.
