Printing is performed by a printing unit provided in the middle of the transportation path and is issued from the ticket issuing port.

[0004]

In the conventional paper sheet processing apparatus, when a paper sheet conveyance failure occurs in the middle of the conveyance path, the apparatus is stopped and remains on the conveyance path when the conveyance failure occurs. The paper sheet being processed must be removed by the administrator or operator of the device. However, in a device that continuously dispenses and processes banknotes, such as a banknote depositing / dispensing device, many banknotes remain on a long transport path from the banknote dispensing source to the stacking destination, and many devices are used. Since it has a function, the transportation route is complicated, and it takes a long time for the manager or operator to remove the remaining banknotes, and there is a problem that the efficiency of the work is significantly impaired.

Further, when such a bill depositing / dispensing device or a ticket issuing device is incorporated in an automatic machine such as an automatic vending machine or an automatic transaction machine, in recent years such an automatic machine is used in unmanned stores or mechanized stores. It is often operated in the form of an administrator, and even if there is no administrator nearby, even if there is a failure that engages in other work and fails, we can not immediately deal with it and make the user wait for a long time, There is also a problem that the user leaves on the way and requires post-processing.

Further, since it is necessary to thoroughly construct a structure in which each part of the apparatus can be opened so that the administrator or the operator can easily remove the paper sheet remaining on the transport path, the mechanism of the apparatus becomes complicated and the price becomes high. There is also a problem.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention conveys a paper sheet and performs a data reading / writing process on the paper sheet during the conveyance. In the processing device, at least at both ends of the conveying means for conveying the paper sheets, a separation function having a stacking function of receiving and accumulating the paper sheets sent from the conveying means and a function of separating the accumulated paper sheets and feeding them to the conveying means A plurality of independent conveyers, each of which is provided with a stacking means, is divided into a plurality of continuous conveyers, has a drive source for each of them, and can independently operate, and can convey paper sheets in both reciprocating directions. It is configured as a set of means, is provided with a control means for controlling the separating and accumulating means and the independent transport means to transport the paper sheet, and at least a transport monitoring means for detecting the passage of the paper sheet in at least adjacent independent transport paths. Those having the connection part.

Then, during the paper sheet processing operation, the control means operates on the basis of the paper sheet detection signal from the paper conveyance monitoring means, and next, within a predetermined time after the paper sheets pass through the paper conveyance monitoring means on the upstream side of the paper conveyance. When a paper sheet arrives at the conveyance monitoring means and the passage monitoring means is monitored to pass within a predetermined time, and when arrival or passage of the paper sheet cannot be detected within the predetermined time, When the transport monitoring unit of the independent transport unit other than the transport destination that has the transport destination detects the arrival of paper sheets, it is determined that a transport failure has occurred, and a transport that generates an emergency stop signal to stop the transport operation Monitoring control means, braking control means for receiving each of the emergency stop signals to stop each drive source in a shorter time than a normal stop, and determining where a conveyance abnormality has occurred by the output of the conveyance monitoring means, and the determination result Driven simultaneously based on The removal procedure control means for determining the combination of the independent transport means and the driving direction of each independent transport means, and the independent transport means other than the independent transport means in which the abnormally conveyed sheets remain according to the procedure determined by the removal procedure control means. An independent transport path in which the paper sheets remaining on the transport means are stacked at a predetermined stacking location, the paper sheets with abnormal transport are stacked at a predetermined stacking location, and further the paper sheets with abnormal transport remain. Is provided with automatic recovery operation control means for transporting paper sheets that need to pass through and stacking the paper sheets remaining in each independent transport path at a predetermined stacking location, and again after the automatic recovery operation. It is for carrying out a kind of transportation processing.

[0009]

According to the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, when a paper sheet being conveyed is jammed or is conveyed to a conveyance path other than the intended conveyance destination,
First, driving is stopped in a short time by applying braking so that the conveyance is stopped in the initial stage of jamming or stopped in the initial stage of entering the wrong conveying path. At this time, the conveying path on the upstream side in the conveying direction is stopped before the downstream side so that the succeeding sheets do not catch up with the preceding sheets.

Next, it is grasped where the abnormally conveyed paper sheet is in the conveyance path, and the remaining place of the remaining paper sheet is grasped, and the residual paper sheet is removed according to the position of the residual paper sheet. I do. For example, if there are paper sheets that are being fed from the feeding source, return them to the feeding source, and then remove the paper sheets that remain on the conveying path upstream from the conveying path where the conveyance failure has occurred from the side closer to the feeding source. Sequentially return to the original.

Next, the paper sheets remaining on the transport path downstream of the transport path in which the transport failure has occurred are stacked in the stacking section on the downstream side in the transport direction. After that, the paper sheets remaining on the transport path where the transport failure has occurred are returned to the delivery source or accumulated in a stacking unit different from the delivery source. Then, if necessary, the paper sheets stacked in the stacking unit on the downstream side in the transport direction are fed back to the original position.

In the above-described operation of returning the paper sheets remaining in the conveyance path in which the conveyance failure has occurred, first, the conveyance path in which the conveyance failure has occurred and the conveyance path closer to the delivery source than the conveyance path are returned in the returning direction for a certain time. After carrying out a reciprocating conveyance operation which is driven for a predetermined number of times after being temporarily stopped and then driven for a fixed time, each conveyance path is continuously driven in the returning direction. Alternatively, the transport path in which the transport failure has occurred and the transport path closer to the feeding source than this transport path are driven in the return direction, and the paper sheet is transported to the transport path on the downstream side in the return direction adjacent to the transport path in which the transport failure has occurred. If a paper sheet is not conveyed within this time, the conveyance is temporarily stopped, then the conveyance path is driven in the opposite direction for a certain time, and then a conveyance path in which a conveyance failure occurs again Adjacent to the conveyance path where the conveyance failure occurs by repeatedly performing the reciprocating conveyance operation of conveying the paper in the return direction while monitoring whether the paper sheet is conveyed to the conveyance path on the downstream side in the return direction. When the paper sheet is conveyed to the conveying path on the downstream side in the returning direction, each conveying path is continuously driven as it is in the returning direction.

The procedure is as follows. (1) The second separation / accumulation unit 11A, the third separation / accumulation unit 11B, or the fourth separation / accumulation unit 11C, which is the upstream conveyance path of the third independent conveyance path 17 including the bill discriminating unit 4, which is the conveyance trouble occurrence point. Among them, the separating and accumulating unit that is separating and feeding out the banknotes from the internal banknote storage 105 and the motor of the fourth independent transport path 18 are rotated in the direction in which the banknotes on the transport path are stacked in the internal banknote storage 105, and the separation and stacking unit is formed. Fourth independent transport path 18

(2) The second independent transport path 16 and the fifth independent transport path 19, which are downstream of the location where the transport failure has occurred, are transported in the recovery direction, and the banknotes on the transport path are stored in the recovery unit 107. (3) The motors of the third independent transport path 17 and the fourth independent transport path 18 in which the transport failure has occurred are set in the direction opposite to the collecting operation, and the motors of the fifth independent transport path 19 are set to the fourth independent transport path. By rotating the banknotes in the receiving direction from 18, the banknotes in which the transportation failure has occurred and the banknotes remaining in the third independent transportation path 17 are stored in the reject banknote storage unit 110. Next, the detailed control of the automatic recovery operation when the banknote transport failure occurs in each of the above-described operations will be described with reference to FIG.
The description will be made with reference to FIGS. As described above, this control is performed by the ROM of the bill depositing / dispensing device control unit 22 of FIG.
The automatic recovery control means 81, and the removal procedure control means 101 and the recovery confirmation control means 102 attached to the automatic recovery control means 81, which are realized by a software program in 24, correspond to this.

11 and 12 are flow charts showing the flow of the bill counting operation control such as withdrawal / payment by the bill depositing / dispensing apparatus controller 22 of the bill depositing / dispensing apparatus 1 according to the present invention. The flow of is explained.
First, the banknote pay-in / pay-out device control unit 22 determines whether or not the automatic recovery invalid setting means 100 is set to automatic recovery invalid (step 145), and when it is set to automatic recovery invalid, each sensor described in FIG. The banknote conveyance monitoring timer and the sensor passage monitoring timer are set to the long time mode (step 146), and the automatic recovery invalid is set to the operation mode storage unit provided in the banknote depositing / dispensing device control unit 22 (step 147). .

On the other hand, if the automatic recovery is set to be effective in step 145, the bill conveyance monitoring timer between the sensors and the sensor passage monitoring timer are set to the short time mode (step 148), and the operation mode storage section is further set. Is set to enable automatic recovery (step 149). The long-time mode / short-time mode of the banknote transfer monitoring timer and the sensor passage monitoring timer described above is a program for a banknote transfer monitoring task, which will be described later with reference to FIGS. The time from when the bill is detected by each sensor to when it passes through that sensor is monitored, and if the bill does not reach or does not pass within the predetermined time, it is determined that the bill is jammed. However, the maximum allowable time for determining that the banknote is jammed is set not to be longer than necessary when the automatic recovery operation is set to be executed (when it is not invalid setting). This is to stop the transportation by determining a transportation failure at an early stage when the transportation jamming is not serious. Also, if the automatic recovery operation is set not to be executed (in case of invalid setting), it is premised that the paper money is manually removed, and it does not lead to a definite banknote jam, but it is conveyed with a slight jam and is required. Since the time may be long, the allowable transport time is set to be long, the timing of determining the transport failure is delayed, and the transport failure is immediately determined so that the apparatus is not stopped.

The setting of whether or not to carry out the automatic recovery operation in the automatic recovery invalidation setting means 100 is made beforehand by the operator. For example, if the apparatus is installed at a place where the operator is always present, a failure occurs. However, since automatic recovery can be manually performed, if automatic recovery is disabled, if the device is installed in a place where there is no operator, automatic recovery can be enabled because automatic recovery cannot be performed manually. is there.

Subsequently, upon receipt of an operator's instruction or a counting start instruction from a host controller (not shown), the counting type (withdrawal, deposit, replenishment, collection, etc.) is determined (step 15).
0). Each counting operation program is executed according to the determination result, but here, the case of withdrawing a ten thousand yen ticket will be described as an example. When the determination result of the counting type is determined to be the withdrawal of ten thousand yen bills, the rotation direction is the withdrawal direction and the speed is high with respect to each motor drive circuit of all (first to fifth) independent transport paths. A signal is output to start driving each independent transport path in the dispensing mode (step 151).

Then, the motor drive circuit of the first separation / integration unit 12 outputs a signal in which the rotation direction is the integration direction and the speed is high speed to start driving the first separation / integration unit 12 in the integration mode (step). 152). Further, the second separation / collection unit 11
For the motor drive circuit of A, a signal in which the rotation direction is the separation direction and the speed is the high speed is output to drive the second separation and integration unit 11A in the dispensing mode (step 153).

Next, by rotating a drive motor (not shown) of the banknote stage 14A in the internal banknote storage box 105A, the stage 14A is raised, and the second separating and accumulating unit 11A moves the 10,000-yen banknote on the banknote stage 14A. The sheets are separated one by one, and feeding is started (step 154). When the banknotes are fed to the independent transport paths and started to be transported by the above operation, the sensor groups for transport monitoring and the sensors S20 and S27 for the separation and collection provided on the independent transport paths separate the delivery, transport, and stacking of the bills. The counting operation is performed while the conveyance monitoring control for checking the state is performed. This transfer monitoring control will be described later with reference to FIGS. 13 to 15.

As described above, when the payout of bills is started, the number of passed bills is counted by the sensor S20, and it is determined whether the designated payout number has been paid (step 15).
5). If the number of sheets indicated in step 155 has not been reached, it is checked whether or not the conveyance abnormality flag which is turned on when the conveyance monitoring control program to be described later detects a bill conveyance abnormality such as clogging of bills (step 156). ).

If the conveyance abnormality flag is not turned on in step 156, the process returns to step 155 in which it is checked again whether the number of fed sheets reaches the designated number. Here, when it is detected that the conveyance abnormality flag is turned on, the all independent conveyance path, the second separation and accumulation unit 11A, and the first separation and accumulation unit 12 are detected.
A braking signal is output to the motor drive circuit of to stop each motor in an emergency.

At this time, the braking procedure control means 103 of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device control section 22 uses the separating and accumulating section which is being fed out, here the second separating and accumulating section 11A, and the independent conveying path closer to the separating and accumulating section. Here, the fourth independent transport path 18 and the like are stopped earlier. Alternatively, the independent transport path on the upstream side or the separation / collection unit is stopped earlier than the independent transport path on the downstream side or the separation / collection unit.

Further, depending on the remaining portion of the bill, it is arranged that the adjacent independent conveyance paths or the separating and accumulating section and the independent conveyance path are stopped at the same time. At this time, the independent conveyance path and the separation / collection section downstream of the location where the conveyance abnormality occurs are stopped at the same time according to the slowest independent conveyance path and the separation / collection section.

In this way, at the time of an emergency stop, the bills being conveyed are controlled so as not to catch up with them later and cause a secondary bill jam. At this time, a braking signal is output to each motor drive circuit so that it takes almost the same time from the high-speed conveyance state to the complete stop, and the stop time is made uniform. This is because if the time to stop varies due to the inertia of each independent transport path / separation stacking unit and the difference in friction load of the mechanism unit, the transport and stacking operations on the downstream side in the transport direction stop first, and the upstream This is because the banknotes on the side are transported without stopping and hit the downstream side transport path that is stopped, and there is a risk that the banknotes may be jammed. This does not have to be the case if there is no variation or it is confirmed that the variation is within a predetermined range (step 1
63).

When the independent transport path and the separation / collection section are stopped,
It is determined whether the automatic recovery operation is valid in the operation mode settings (step 164). When the automatic recovery operation is disabled, if this device is connected to the host controller, it will notify the host controller of the failure occurrence, and if it is a single device, it will output a failure display etc. Step 17
9), abnormal termination.

When the automatic recovery operation enable setting is made in step 164, it is determined whether the abnormal conveyance is the first occurrence (step 165). If the result of this determination is the second time, the conveyance abnormality has already occurred once in the same counting operation. This is because the automatic recovery operation described below has been performed successfully and the transaction is continued, and then recounting is performed. This also means that a transport error occurred during operation, and it was determined that there was an error factor that could not be restored to the normal state by the automatic recovery operation. The control unit is notified, and in the case of a single device, a failure occurrence display or the like is output and abnormal termination is performed.

On the other hand, in the case where the conveyance abnormality occurs for the first time in the determination of step 165, the start of the automatic recovery operation is notified if the configuration is connected to the host controller, and if it is a single device, the next Processing step (step 16)
6). Then, the operation for removing the bills remaining in the transport path is executed to automatically recover the obstacle (step 167).
The removal operation will be described later with reference to FIGS.

Next, when the above bill removing operation is completed,
1 is added to the automatic recovery execution counter 49 (step 1
68) After that, it is checked whether the removal operation failure flag is on (step 169). The removal operation failure flag is turned on when the removal operation of FIGS. 16 to 19 described later is not successful. If the removal operation failure flag is turned on, if this device is configured to be connected to a host device, it notifies the host controller of the failure occurrence,
In the case of a single device, a failure occurrence display or the like is output (step 180), and the process proceeds to step 173 described later.

On the other hand, if the removal operation failure flag is not on, that is, if the removal operation is successful, the automatic recovery success counter 50 is incremented by 1 (step 17).
0), then the counting operation type at that time is determined (step 171), and if it is a depositing operation, the bill is once returned to the customer. In the automatic recovery operation of the deposit operation, all the banknotes are accumulated in the delivery section 9 as described with reference to FIG. 7, but once returned, there is a possibility of causing damage to the transportation unless it is a deposit transaction. It should be stored in the reject storage unit and not transported again, but in the case of deposit transactions, the bills being counted are not confirmed by the customer and may be damaged due to transport failure. This is because even if it cannot be stored in the reject storage.

If the determination result of step 171 is other than the deposit operation, it is determined whether the counting stop command has been received from the host controller if this device is connected to the host device (step 172). If the counting stop command has not been received, or if it is a single device, the counting operation is executed again from step 150. When the number of sheets to be separated and fed out reaches the instructed number in the determination of step 155, the banknote stage 14A of the internal banknote storage box 105A is lowered and the motor of the second separating and accumulating unit 11A is stopped (step 157).

Subsequently, it is determined whether the number of sheets stacked in the first separation and stacking unit 12 has reached the designated number (step 158).
If the accumulated number has not reached the designated number, step 156
Similarly to the above, it is determined whether the conveyance abnormality flag is on (step 162). If the conveyance abnormality flag is not turned on, the process returns to step 158 to check again whether the number of stacked sheets reaches the designated number. On the other hand, if it is turned on, the processing of steps 163 to 172, step 179, and step 180 already described is executed.

On the other hand, when the number of stacked sheets reaches the designated number, the motors of all the independent transport paths are stopped and the motors of the first separating and stacking unit 12 are also stopped (step 159). Then, if this device is configured to be connected to the host controller, the host connector is notified that the instructed counting operation has been completed (step 160). If this device is a single device, the process of step 160 is not performed.

Thereafter, it is judged whether the operation mode is set to enable the automatic recovery operation (step 181). If the automatic recovery operation is not set to be effective, the operation ends. If it is set to effective, the current counting operation is performed. The counted number of sheets is added to the processed number counter 48 (step 16).
1). Next, the banknote pay-in / pay-out device controller 22 divides the value of the automatic recovery execution counter 49 at step 168 by the value of the processed sheet counter 48 at step 160 by the automatic recovery processing rate calculating means 51 to obtain the automatic recovery processing rate. (Step 173), and then the automatic recovery process frequent occurrence determination means 5
3, it is determined whether the automatic recovery process occurrence rate is larger than the predetermined value Y (step 174). If it is larger, an alarm is output to the display device 55 to display an alarm (step 175).
If it is not large, the alarm is not displayed. Further, the automatic recovery processing success rate calculation means 52 causes the automatic recovery success counter 50 to operate.
Is divided by the value of the processed number counter 48 in step 160 or the automatic recovery execution counter 49 to obtain an automatic recovery success rate (step 176), and the automatic recovery success rate decrease determination unit 54 determines this automatic recovery success rate. Is smaller than the value Z (step 177), and if smaller, an alarm is output and an alarm is displayed on the display device 55 (step 178). If not smaller, the alarm is not displayed and the counting operation is terminated.

The automatic recovery process occurrence rate and the automatic recovery success rate described above need not be both and may be either one. Further, when this device is connected to an automatic transaction device or the like and a higher-order control unit is present, the bill depositing / dispensing device may not be provided with the display device 55, and may be displayed on the display means of the higher-order control unit. 20 and 21 are flowcharts in the case of displaying on the display unit of the upper control unit in the bill counting control. The difference between FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 and FIG. 20 and FIG.
1, the data of the automatic recovery processing occurrence rate or the automatic recovery processing success rate calculated in the processing of step 173 to step 178 of FIG. 12 is only transmitted to the upper control unit. That is, in the processing of steps 173 to 178 of FIGS. 11 and 12, the automatic recovery process occurrence rate and the automatic recovery process success rate are calculated, and compared with a predetermined value, and if the occurrence rate increases or the success rate decreases. 20 and 21, the automatic recovery process occurrence rate is calculated in step 173, and then transmitted in step 174 to the host controller. Also, after calculating the automatic recovery process success rate in step 175, this is transmitted to the host controller in step 176. Although not shown, the upper control unit determines whether the automatic recovery process occurrence rate is high or the automatic recovery process success rate is decreased when the automatic recovery process occurrence rate and the automatic recovery process success rate are received. When the automatic recovery process occurrence rate is higher than normal or the automatic recovery process success rate is lower than normal, an alarm is output. 20 and 21, the other controls are the same as those described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12, and thus the description thereof will be omitted here.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 13 to 15, the conveyance monitoring control during bill counting will be described. FIG. 13 is a time chart showing a change in the output of the sensor that passes before the bills are fed out, conveyed and accumulated. As shown in FIG. 1, a large number of sensors are provided on the transport path for both transport monitoring and transport path switching blade drive timing detection. In FIG. 13, only the sensors important for explaining the present invention are shown. It is extracted and described. 14 and 15 are flowcharts showing the flow of conveyance monitoring control at the time of counting bills, and also in FIGS. 14 and 15, only the important sensors for explaining the present invention are extracted and described. In addition, the counting operation will be described by taking as an example the withdrawal of 10,000-yen notes, as in the case of FIGS. 11 and 12.

13 to 15, the sensor S20 for separation and accumulation monitoring provided in the second separation and accumulation unit 11A and the feeding unit are provided as sensors used for monitoring conveyance when a 10,000-yen ticket is dispensed. A sensor S23 for transport monitoring as a sensor for detecting the delivery of banknotes between the fourth independent transport path 18 following the second separation and stacking unit 11A and the third independent transport path 17 following it, and the third independent transport A sensor S24 for carrying monitoring as a sensor for detecting the delivery of bills between the path 17 and the second independent carrying path 16 next thereto, the second independent carrying path 16 and the first independent carrying path 15 next thereto.

Sen for monitoring S1, and using the sensor S27 in separation integrated monitoring for the passage detection of the first separation stacking unit 12.

In the present invention, in view of automatic recovery control, as described above, it is possible to dispose the sensor at the connecting portion between the separating and accumulating portion and the independent conveying passage, or at the connecting portion between a certain independent conveying passage and another independent conveying passage. It is extremely important in order to determine in which independent transport path the transport failure has occurred, and in what order to remove the banknotes in the independent transport path in the recovery operation. A sensor corresponding to this other than those shown in FIGS. 13 to 15 is a sensor S28 for carrying monitoring, which is provided at a connecting portion between the fourth independent carrying path 18 and the fifth independent carrying path 19.
The sensor S25 for transport monitoring provided at the connecting portion between the second independent transport path 16 and the fifth independent transport path 19 corresponds thereto.

The task start means that when processing a plurality of banknotes, the banknotes are continuously delivered to the transport path, so that a plurality of banknotes are simultaneously transported in the transport path. To monitor this, prepare the number of tasks that can exist in the transport path at the same time,
One task is to start monitoring the transfer of one banknote, and then continue monitoring the transfer of the banknote from the time when the banknote is unwound until the end of stacking or storing, and when the monitoring of the banknote ends, the banknote that is newly transferred next time. It is in charge of monitoring the transportation of. That is, N is 3 if the conveyance monitoring of 3 sheets is to be executed at the same time, and N is 4 if it is 4 sheets. The description will be made regarding control in which one task monitors one banknote. In the flow chart, symbols such as T01 and T011 are added to the names of the monitoring timers. This is the calculated value t01 calculated from the transport speed and the size of the bill in the transport direction shown in the time chart of FIG. ,
It represents the monitoring timer value corresponding to t011 etc. The monitoring timer value is a little calculated due to the fact that the conveyance resistance becomes large when the wrinkles and folded parts of the bill pass through the joints of the traveling surface during the actual conveyance. The time is set in consideration of the longer transport time. Furthermore, this time setting is performed in step 146 of the flowcharts of FIGS.

A case where the sensor S24 has not been reached, that is, a case where the sensor S24 has not been reached will be described as an example.

As described in the transport monitoring control of FIGS. 14 and 15, when the transport jam of the banknote occurs, the transport monitoring task executes the abnormality occurrence position (the sensor that detects the transport jam) in step 236 of FIGS. Information) is stored.
The transport residual banknote removal program first refers to this stored content to identify the location where the transport abnormality occurs (step 24).
9). Here, a case other than the third independent transport path 17 will be omitted, and a case where it occurs in the third independent transport path 17 will be described.

When it is determined that a conveyance abnormality has occurred in the third independent conveyance path 17, first, the sensor at the connecting portion between the fourth independent conveyance path 18 and the third independent conveyance path 17 upstream of the location where the conveyance abnormality has occurred. It is checked whether S23 is turned on (step 250). When the sensor S23 is turned on, that is, when there is a bill at the connecting portion between the third independent transport path 17 and the fourth independent transport path 18, the first independent transport path 15 and the second independent transport path 16, a third independent transport path 17,
The motors of the fourth independent conveying path 18, the first separating and accumulating unit 12, and the second separating and accumulating unit 11A are rotated at a low speed in the direction of returning the banknote to the upstream side of conveyance (step 251), and the removal procedure control means. A predetermined time is set in the timer 1 of the timer 101a of 101 to start (step 252).

Subsequently, it is checked whether or not the sensor S23 is turned off (step 253), and if the sensor S23 is not turned off, it is checked whether or not the time set by the timer 1 has exceeded (step 262). If the time has not yet expired, the monitoring of the sensor S23 being turned off and the monitoring of the timer 1 being timed are alternately repeated.

When the timer 1 detects the time-out first, the first independent carrier path 15 and the second independent carrier path 1 are detected.
6. The motors of the third independent transport path 17, the fourth independent transport path 18, the first separating and accumulating unit 12 and the second separating and accumulating unit 11A are stopped (step 263), and the bill moves near the sensor S23. It is determined that there is no state, and the automatic recovery control means 81
Turns on the removal operation failure flag (step 264),
Abnormally terminates the operation. The removal operation failure flag is detected in step 167 of FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 described above and completes the entire counting operation upon abnormal termination, and is stored in the memory or the RAM 25 in the banknote deposit / withdrawal device control unit 22. .

On the other hand, when the sensor S23 is turned off first, only the drive motors for the first independent transport path 15, the second independent transport path 16, the third independent transport path 17 and the first separating and accumulating section 12 are detected. Is stopped (step 254), and the bills in the fourth independent transport path 18 and the second separating and accumulating unit 11A are all stacked in the internal bill storage box 105A until the fourth independent transport path 1
8 and the motors of the second separating and accumulating portion 11A are continuously operated (step 255), and when the accumulation is completed, the motors of the fourth independent transport path 18 and the second separating and accumulating portion 11A are stopped (step 256).

Next, it is checked whether or not the sensor S24 is turned on, that is, whether or not there is a bill in the connecting portion between the second independent transport path 16 and the third independent transport path 17 (step 257).
When it is turned on, the first independent transport path 15, the second independent transport path 16, the third independent transport path 17 and the first separating and accumulating section 12 are transferred to the delivery section 9 in the direction in which banknotes are conveyed and accumulated. It is driven at a low speed (step 258), a predetermined time value is set in the timer 2 and time monitoring is started (step 25).
9). Then, it is checked whether the sensor S24 is turned off (step 260). If it is not turned off, it is checked whether the time set by the timer 2 has expired (step 266).
The monitoring of turning off 24 and the monitoring of the time-out of timer 1 are repeated alternately.

If the timer 2 detects the time-out first, the first independent transport path 15 and the second independent transport path 1 are detected.
6. The motors of the third independent conveyance path 17 and the first separating and accumulating unit 12 are stopped (step 267), and the bill is detected by the sensor S24.
It is determined that the robot does not move in the vicinity, the removal operation failure flag is turned on (step 268), and the operation ends abnormally. The removal operation failure flag is detected in step 167 of FIGS. 11 and 12 described above, and the entire counting operation is completed by abnormal termination.

On the other hand, when the sensor S24 is detected to be off, only the driving of the motor of the third independent transport path 17 is stopped (step 261), and the first independent transport path 15, the second independent transport path 16 and the first independent transport path 16 are connected. Continue driving the separation and integration unit 12 of
It is monitored whether all the bills in the first independent transport path 15, the second independent transport path 16 and the first separating and accumulating section 12 are accumulated in the delivery section 9 (step 262).

When it is confirmed that all of them have been accumulated in the delivery section 9, the removal operation counter 101b of the removal procedure control means 101 for counting the number of times of removal operations is cleared to 0 (step 269), and the third independent operation is performed. The transport path 17, the fourth independent transport path 18, and the motors of the second separation and stacking unit 11A are
The banknotes are driven at a low speed in the direction in which the banknotes are fed out, here in the direction of the internal banknote storage box 105A (step 27).
0).

Subsequently, 1 is added to the removal operation counter cleared to 0 in step 269 (step 271), a predetermined time is set in the timer 3 to start time monitoring (step 272), and the third independent transport path is set. It is checked whether or not there is a change in the detection of the sensors S8 and S23 in 17, that is, a change from on to off or from off to on (step 273), and if there is a change, the process proceeds to step 284 described later.

On the other hand, if there is no change, check whether the timer 3 has timed out (step 2
75) If the time has not yet expired, the monitoring of the change in the sensor in the third independent conveyance path 17 and the monitoring of the time-out of the timer 3 are alternately repeated. Here, when the time-out of the timer 3 is detected first, the driving of all the independent conveyance paths and the drive motors of the separation and stacking unit is stopped (step 27).
6) It is checked whether the removal operation counter is larger than a predetermined value X (step 277), and if it is larger, the removal operation failure flag is turned on (step 289), and the removal operation of the abnormal conveyance bill is abnormally terminated.

On the other hand, if the removal operation counter is not larger than the predetermined value X, the motors of the second independent transfer path 16, the third independent transfer path 17 and the fourth independent transfer path 18 transfer the bill to the delivery section 9. Start at a low speed in the direction
8), 1 is added to the removal operation counter (step 27
9) Then, a predetermined value is set in the timer 4 and the time monitoring is started (step 280). Then, it is checked whether the sensor S8 in the third independent transport path 17 or the sensor S24 provided at the connecting portion between the third independent transport path 17 and the second independent transport path 16 has changed (step 281). If there is no change, it is checked whether the timer 4 has timed out (step 290). If the timer 4 has not timed out, the change in the sensor S8 in the third independent transport path 17 or the change in the sensor S24 provided at the connection between the third independent transport path 17 and the second independent transport path 16 and the timer 4 The time-out monitoring of is repeated alternately. Here, when the time-out of the timer 4 is detected first, the removal operation counter is set to the predetermined value X.
It is checked if it is larger (step 291), and if not larger, the process returns to step 270 to repeat the processing. on the other hand,
When the value of the removal operation counter is larger than the predetermined value X, the removal operation failure flag is turned on (step 292) and the removal operation is abnormally terminated.

Returning to step 281, there is a change in the detection state of the sensor S8 in the third independent transport path 17 or the sensor S24 provided at the connecting portion between the third independent transport path 17 and the second independent transport path 16. If the second independent conveyance path 16 and the third

The motor of 1A is driven at a low speed in the direction in which the bill is separated, here, the bill is conveyed to the internal bill storage box 105A (step 283). Here, 1 is added to the removal operation counter (step 284), a predetermined time value is set in the timer 5 to start time monitoring (step 285), and the bills in the third independent transport path 17 are set to the third bill. Independent transport path 17 and 4th
It is checked whether all the sensors S23 provided at the junction of the independent transport path 18 have been passed (step 286). If the passage is not completed, it is checked whether the timer 5 has timed out (step 293). If the timer 5 has not timed out, the passage of the sensor S23 of all banknotes in the third independent conveyance path 17 is passed. The check and the timer 5 time-out check are repeated alternately. Here, when the timer 5 times out first, the process returns to step 276 and the process is repeated.

On the other hand, when the sensor S23 detects passage of all banknotes in the third independent transport path 17 before the timer 5 times out, these banknotes are stored in the internal banknote storage box 105A.
After completion of stacking (step 287), it is determined whether or not there are banknotes in the delivery section 9 (step 288). By conveying and storing the bills to the storage 105A, it is confirmed that the bills from the delivery unit 9 to the internal bill storage 105A are not jammed (step 294). Then, it is determined whether the transport operation to the internal bill storage box 105A has been normally completed (step 295), and if a transport failure or the like occurs, the removal operation failure flag is turned on (step 30).
1), abnormal termination. On the other hand, when the conveyance to the internal bill storage box 105A is completed normally, the normal end flag is turned on (step 296), and the operation of removing the conveyance abnormal bill is ended normally.

Returning to step 288, when there is no banknote in the delivery section 9, the banknotes from the internal banknote storage box 105A to the transfer section 9 are confirmed to be not jammed by the withdrawal operation from the internal banknote storage box 105A. One banknote is paid out, conveyed and accumulated to the delivery section 9 (step 298),
Check if this is normally transported and accumulated (Step 2
98), if it is normal, the banknotes in the delivery section 9 are fed out and transported to the internal banknote storage box 105A and stored therein in the same manner as the deposit operation (step 299). When this operation is completed normally, the normal end flag is turned on (step 296), and the operation for removing the abnormal bill in conveyance is normally ended.

If the carrying operation in steps 298 and 300 is abnormal, the removal operation failure flag is turned on (step 301) and the processing ends abnormally.

If the secret code input is not completed, it is checked whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed from the secret code input guide screen display in step 109 (step 111). If the predetermined time has not yet elapsed, the completion of the secret code input and the secret code input Alternately monitor the time. If a predetermined time elapses before the personal identification code is input, a guide screen for instructing to remove the card and start over from the beginning is displayed on the CRT 68 (step 12).
0), and returns to the transaction selection screen display in step 101.

On the other hand, in step 112, the result of reading the magnetic data of the card is normal, and in step 1
When the password input is completed at 10, the wording and the number keys for prompting the input of the withdrawal amount are displayed on the CRT 68 (step 11
3), wait for the completion of input of the amount data to the touch sensor 71 (step 114). Here, when the amount input is not completed yet, it is monitored whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed from the amount input screen display in step 113 (step 11).
5). When the predetermined time has not yet passed, the completion of the input of the amount data and the time monitoring until the input of the amount data are alternately performed. If a predetermined time elapses before the withdrawal amount is completed, a guide screen for instructing to remove the card and start over from the beginning is displayed on the CRT 68 (step 120), and the screen returns to the transaction selection screen display in step 101.

On the other hand, when the amount input is completed within the predetermined time in step 114, the fact that the apparatus is executing the process is displayed on the CRT 68 (step 116), and then the account number read from the card is displayed. The transaction contents such as data, input personal identification code data, desired withdrawal amount data, etc. are communicated to the host computer via the host computer interface circuit 56.

Next, the reception of a response message from the host computer is awaited, and it is determined whether the message contents permit execution of the transaction (step 118). When the transaction load is present, the reason why the transaction cannot be performed, for example, a message indicating that the balance amount of the account is less than the transaction amount, the secret codes do not match, and a screen for guiding the card removal are displayed on the CRT 68.
(Step 120) and returns to the transaction selection screen display of Step 101.

On the other hand, in step 118, when the received electronic message is the content permitting the transaction, the bill depositing / withdrawing apparatus 1
A counting operation command is issued via the internal unit interface circuit 58 with the counting type, here, withdrawal and withdrawal amount data (step 121), and the transaction printing command is issued to the statement slip printing device 60. Is issued (step 139).

After that, the operation result notification from the bill depositing / dispensing device 1 and the statement slip printing device 60 is waited, and it is judged whether the operation results of both are normally completed (step 123). If both are normally completed, A card reading / writing unit 59 via an internal unit interface circuit 58,
Issue a command to release the card, statement, and banknote to the statement slip printing device 60 and the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 1 and CR
A guide screen is displayed at T68 to receive the card, statement, and banknote, and when the card, statement, and banknote are removed from the device (step 135), the screen returns to the transaction selection screen display in step 101.

When the operation result notification from the bill depositing / dispensing apparatus 1 or the statement slip printing device 60 indicates that at least one of them has abnormally ended in step 123, the bill depositing / dispensing apparatus 1 automatically recovers. It is determined whether the notification that the operation has started (notification at step 166 in FIGS. 11 and 12) or any other abnormality (step 12).
4). If the content of the error is something other than the start of the automatic recovery operation, it is impossible to continue the transaction, so a screen for guiding the card removal is displayed on the CRT 68 (step 13).
6) Furthermore, a card return command is issued to the card reading / writing unit 59 (step 137), and when the card is removed, the CRT 68 displays a message indicating that the card cannot be handled, and the handling / pause indicator 72 is displayed. The display is changed from the handling to the suspension display (step 138), and the staff waits for a reset by the staff.

On the other hand, if the abnormality content in step 124 is the automatic recovery operation start notification of the bill depositing / withdrawing apparatus 1, it means that the automatic recovery operation of the failure is in progress, and if the transaction is desired to be stopped, the transaction stop key is pressed. Display a guidance screen prompting you to enter the transaction and the transaction stop key on the CRT 68 (step 12).
5). An example of the display screen is shown in FIG. FIG. 28 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the operation guide screen during the automatic recovery operation. When touching the "trade cancellation" portion in FIG. 28, the touch sensor 71
Touch sensor controller 70 that reads the coordinates touched by
Is decoded and notified to the automatic teller machine control unit 57, and when the coordinate position corresponds to the "transaction stop" portion, it is determined that the "transaction stop" key has been pressed.

Note that FIG. 29 is an example of a display screen when an automatic recovery operation occurs in the case of deposit transaction. If the banknote inserted by the customer is still counting the input banknotes while the deposit transaction is being counted, the banknote transport failure occurs at the stage of counting the input banknotes. Also, the "Cancel transaction" key does not enable the display and input because the automatic recovery operation cannot be done until it is completed. But,
The display shown in FIG. 29 is performed in order to take a longer transaction than usual and not to make the customer feel uneasy.

Now, after displaying at step 125, it is monitored whether the transaction stop key is input (step 126). When the transaction stop key is not input, it is checked whether the automatic recovery end message is received from the bill deposit / withdrawal device control unit 22 (step 133). If the automatic recovery end message is not received, the transaction stop key is input. The monitoring and the reception of the automatic recovery end message are alternately monitored. Here, if the transaction stop key input is detected first, a count stop command is issued to the bill depositing / dispensing apparatus 1 (step 127). This command is recognized by the banknote pay-in / pay-out device controller 22 in step 169 of FIGS. 11 and 12.

Then, a screen for guiding the card to be removed is displayed on the CRT 68 (step 128), and a card return command is issued to the card reading / writing unit 59 (step 129). When the card is removed, the transaction is made to the CRT 68. It displays to wait for a while until the start (step 130), and waits for the automatic recovery end message to arrive from the bill deposit / withdrawal device controller 22 (step 131). When the automatic recovery end message arrives from the banknote pay-in / pay-out device control unit 22, it is determined whether it has ended normally (step 132), and if it has ended abnormally, the CRT 68 displays a message indicating that it cannot be handled, and is handling / The pause display section 72 is switched from the handling state to the pause state (step 138), and the personnel wait for the reset by the attendant. On the other hand, if the automatic recovery end message indicates that the message has ended normally, the process returns to the transaction selection screen display in step 101.

Returning to the previous step, when the automatic recovery end message is received prior to the transaction stop key input in step 133, it is determined whether the automatic end has been completed (step 134). If this is an abnormal end, it is impossible to continue the transaction, so a screen is displayed on the CRT 68 to guide the card removal (step 136), and a card return command is issued to the card reading / writing unit 59. (Step 1
37) When the card is removed, the CRT 68 displays a message indicating that the card cannot be handled, and the handling / pause indicator 72 is switched from the handling to the pause display (step 138) to wait for a reset by the attendant. Becomes

On the other hand, when the received automatic recovery end message is the normal end, the card reading / writing unit 5 passes through the internal unit interface circuit 58.
9. Issue a command to release the card, statement, and banknote to the statement slip printing device 60 and the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 1 and CR
A guide screen is displayed at T68 to receive the card, statement, and banknote, and when the card, statement, and banknote are removed from the device (step 135), the screen returns to the transaction selection screen display in step 101.

In each of the above-described embodiments, the bill depositing / dispensing device has been described as an example. However, the present invention generally dispenses and conveys paper sheets such as a ticket issuing device, an OCR, and a copying machine.
It is needless to say that the present invention can be applied to all paper sheet processing apparatuses for accumulating and obtains effects.

[0140]

As described above, according to the present invention, even if a conveyance jam occurs during the processing of paper sheets or a conveyance trouble occurs such that the paper sheets start to be conveyed to the wrong conveyance path, the independent conveyance path is provided. Are sequentially driven to first remove the paper sheets that are normally conveyed from each independent conveyance path and the separation / collection unit, and finally remove the paper sheets from the independent conveyance path that causes the conveyance failure. The paper sheets can be automatically removed by the apparatus itself, and the apparatus can be operated without stopping the operation of the apparatus without a staff member. Therefore, it is possible to realize the apparatus with a high operation rate and low labor cost. Since the transport failure can be automatically recovered in this way, it is not necessary to have a structure in which each part of the device can be opened, and the mechanism of the device can be simplified to reduce the cost.

Further, when the conveyance abnormality occurs and the conveyance of the paper sheet is stopped, the independent conveyance path located on the upstream side stops the conveyance of the paper sheet earlier than the downstream side. ,
When the conveyance is stopped, the paper sheets being conveyed do not catch up later and do not cause secondary clogging, so that the effect of increasing the success rate of automatic recovery is high. Furthermore, since a conveyance monitoring sensor is provided at the joint between the independent conveyance paths or at the connection between the independent conveyance path and the separating and accumulating section, in the operation of removing the residual paper sheets after the occurrence of the conveyance trouble,
Since removal control can be performed without pulling paper sheets between adjacent independent transport paths or between the independent transport path and the separating and accumulating section,
The removal rate is high because it does not damage the paper sheets. In addition, since it is possible to accurately understand the name of the independent conveyance path during the removal operation where the paper sheet remains and the operating status of the removal operation, optimal removal control is possible and automatic removal is possible. It is extremely effective in increasing the rate.

Further, since the paper sheets are conveyed at a low speed in each independent conveyance path during the operation of removing the conveyance obstructed paper sheets, the remaining bills can be conveyed without being damaged, which is extremely effective in increasing the automatic removal rate. It has a great effect. Further, when removing the residual paper sheets from the independent conveyance path in which the conveyance failure has occurred, the related independent conveyance paths are interlocked with each other to reciprocate a predetermined number of times in a predetermined time period and then convey in the returning direction. ,
Even paper sheets that are folded in an accordion shape when jammed will gradually extend and can be reliably removed.

Further, when the residual paper sheets are removed from the independent conveyance path in which the conveyance failure has occurred, the related independent conveyance paths are interlocked to drive the conveyance path in the returning direction so that the conveyance failure occurs within a predetermined time. When it is not possible to confirm the movement of paper sheets in the generated independent transport path, move the transport path in the opposite direction for a certain period of time, and then move the transport path in the return direction again, and the paper remaining in the independent transport path where the transport failure has occurred. Even if a series of operations for monitoring the movement of leaves is repeated, even a paper sheet that is folded in an accordion shape when jammed can be gradually extended and reliably removed.

Further, after the completion of the removal of all the residual paper sheets, one paper sheet is again fed out from the storage section to be transported, accumulated / stored, and confirmed to be completely removed. It is possible to prevent the transport failure from recurring at the time of the next counting, and to ensure a reliable operation. Furthermore, even if some abnormality that easily causes a transport failure occurs in the equipment, it is expected that the abnormality of the equipment to be repaired will not be revealed if it is recovered by the automatic restoration operation. If the frequency is high, the operating rate of the device will decrease.Therefore, if the occurrence frequency of the automatic recovery operation is calculated, and if the occurrence frequency reaches a level that is not normally considered, an alarm will be generated to detect any abnormality in the device. It is effective for keeping the equipment normal by telling maintenance personnel to prompt the equipment inspection. In addition, maintenance personnel do not need to inspect dark clouds, which is highly labor-saving.

Further, even if the success rate of the automatic recovery operation is calculated and an alarm is issued when the success rate is lowered,
It is possible to inform the maintenance staff of any abnormality of the equipment and prompt the maintenance personnel to check the equipment, which is effective for keeping the equipment in a normal state. further,
Even if a dedicated staff member always monitors the operation status near the equipment and can deal with recovery processing immediately when an abnormality occurs, or even if there is an abnormality in the equipment such that transport jams are likely to occur at a specific part of the equipment If it is an easy-to-recover location, manual recovery may be faster than automatic recovery processing.Therefore, by setting whether or not to perform automatic recovery operation, it is always possible to set the shortest time. The device can be kept in a state where failure recovery can be performed. At this time, when the automatic recovery operation is not performed, the conveyance monitoring time used to determine the conveyance state of the paper sheets is lengthened to prevent the conveyance jam from being detected excessively sensitively. This has the effect of ensuring a high operating rate.

In the automatic transaction apparatus equipped with the paper sheet processing apparatus according to the present invention, when the conveyance failure occurs in the paper sheet processing apparatus and the automatic recovery is started, the transaction being processed is canceled or the recovery processing is completed. Since the customer can choose whether to wait until, if there is no urgent business or there are multiple devices installed and it is not crowded, it is not necessary to wait for the automatic recovery to complete the transaction. For customers who discontinue and have only one device installed, and who need to complete the transaction, it is extremely flexible and convenient for customers who can complete the transaction even if it takes some time. There is an effect that a device having excellent properties can be provided.
