Paper-like counting device and trade processing device

Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a paper sheets counter for further improving the counting accuracy of the number to paper sheets carried in a carrying passage. CONSTITUTION: In this counter 15, three thickness detecting sensors 20R, 20C, and 20L are juxtaposed in the vertical direction to the carrying direction of paper money 30. The thickness detecting sensors 20R, and 20L detect the thickness of both end parts of the paper money 30, and the thickness detecting sensor 20C detects the thickness of a central part of the paper money 30. The counter 15 calculates the number from the thickness of the paper money 30 detected by the thickness detecting sensor 20C. Detecting waveforms detected by the thickness detecting sensors 20R, and 20L are respectively corrected in a fold on the basis of a detecting waveform detected by the thickness detecting sensor 20C, and the number of paper money 30 is respectively calculated from the fold-corrected detecting waveforms. When the number of sheets of calculated paper money 30 wholly coincides with each other for these sensors, the number is decided to be correct number.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a sheet counting device for counting the number of sheets being conveyed, and more particularly to a sheet counting device for counting the number of banknotes. [0002] Moreover, this invention relates to the transaction processing apparatus which handles the banknote in the ATM (automatic teller machine) etc. to which this paper sheet counting apparatus was applied. Background technique [0003] Existing ATMs (automatic teller machines) and other transaction processing devices that handle banknotes have a transport path for transporting banknotes inserted into a main body (hereinafter referred to as deposit banknotes) to an accommodating section, and a transport path for delivering banknotes placed in the main body. The banknotes stored in the reel (hereinafter referred to as withdrawal banknotes) are transported to the delivery path of the withdrawal unit, and there is a counting device for counting the number of ban...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For this reason, there is a problem of miscounting one banknote as two, and the counting accuracy is not high

In addition, when the skew angle (the inclination angle of the banknote with respect to the transport direction) of the banknote being transported is large, the length for detecting the thickness becomes longer, so in this case, the number of banknotes may be miscalculated, so , cannot be said to have sufficient counting precision
