  • Patent number: 8515573
    Abstract: A sort pattern creating method, for a banknote handling apparatus, comprises a step of selecting a denomination of banknote (S501), a step of selecting a print version of banknote (S502), a step of selecting a direction of banknote (S503), a step of selecting a fitness of banknote (S504), a step of creating the sort pattern by combining the contents selected in the step of selecting a denomination of banknote, a print version of banknote, a direction of banknote and a fitness of banknote (S505). The sort pattern creating method comprises a step of checking a validity of the combination of the contents, wherein the combination is valid when a type of banknote is defined to be sorted into one stacking unit, and the combination is not valid when the type of banknote is not defined to be sorted into one stacking unit.

  • Patent number: 8358825
    Abstract: In order to intuitively inform a reject reason, a money handling system 100 includes: a reception unit configured to take banknotes one by one thereinto; a recognition unit configured to recognize the banknotes taken by the reception unit; a stacking unit configured to stack banknotes; a reject unit configured to stack rejected banknotes; a reject light-emitting unit configured to emit light in a plurality of manners; a transport unit configured to transport the banknotes taken by the reception unit to the stacking unit or the reject unit; and a control unit configured to control the reject light-emitting unit to emit light in a manner that differs from one reject reason to another reject reason of a rejected banknote, when the rejected banknote is recognized by the recognition unit.

  • Publication number: 20120011813
    Abstract: A banknote sorting and bundling apparatus (1) includes a stacker (16) for sorting and stacking a banknote being transported, a bundling-side stacking unit (21) for sorting and stacking a banknote of a specific banknote-kind as a bundling-object-banknote, a category setting unit (191) that sets a category of a banknote to be stacked in the stacker (16) and the bundling-side stacking unit (21), and an assignment setting unit (193) that assigns, if there is no stacking unit for which a banknote-kind of the banknote being transported is set among the stackers (16) or the bundling-side stacking units (21) for which the category of the banknote being transported has been set, the banknote-kind of the banknote being transported as the stacking banknote for a stacking unit for which no stacking banknote has been set. Therefore, the work burden for setting the stacking category and the banknote-kind for the bundling-side stacking units (21) or the stackers (16) one by one is greatly reduced.

  • Publication number: 20110296802
    Abstract: A banknote sorting and bundling apparatus (1) includes a banknote processing device (2) including a stacker (16), and a banknote bundling device (3) including a bundling unit (22) and a bundling-side stacking unit (21). The apparatus (1) further includes a banknote transport unit (13) that transports a banknote deposited in a hopper unit (11) through a banknote transport path (18) including a first transport path (18A), a second transport path (18B), and a third transport path (18C), a diverting unit (13A) for diverting the banknote being transported through the banknote transport path (18) to the stacker (16) or the bundling-side stacking unit (21), and a post-bundling transport unit (26) for dispensing a bundle of banknotes bundled by the bundling unit (22) to a bundle dispensing outlet (23) provided near the hopper unit (11).
