Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of financial equipment technology, and more specifically, to an arrangement device and a control method for the arrangement device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, replacing banknotes with serial numbers requires manual replacement. If the banknote invalidation rate is high, the workload of manual unpacking and replacement will be very large. Moreover, during the unpacking and replacement process, the accuracy of the replacement can only be ensured by manual comparison of serial numbers, which has the disadvantages of low production efficiency, easy error and long time consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems, the first objective of the present invention is to provide an arrangement device.

[0004] The second objective of this invention is to provide a control method for an arrangement device.

[0005] According to a first objective of the present invention, an arrangement device is provided for use in conjunction with a sorting machine. The arrangement device includes: a transport section; a first sorting device, the first sorting device including a first sorting unit and a first encoder; the first sorting unit is connected to the transport section, the first sorting unit is capable of adsorbing multiple first banknotes and transferring the multiple first banknotes to the transport section, the transport section driving the multiple first banknotes to move; the first encoder is electrically connected to the first sorting unit, the first encoder is capable of acquiring the identification numbers of the multiple first banknotes to be arranged, and is capable of controlling the operation of the first sorting unit according to the identification numbers of the multiple first banknotes, so that the multiple first banknotes are arranged... When the banknotes are transferred to the transport section, there are gaps between the banknotes with discontinuous identification numbers. The second sorting device includes a second sorting section and a second encoder. The second sorting section is connected to the transport section and can pick up the second banknotes. The second encoder is electrically connected to both the second sorting section and the transport section. The second sorting section can obtain the identification numbers of the banknotes to be sorted and the position of the gaps on the transport section. Based on the identification numbers of the banknotes and the position of the gaps on the transport section, the second sorting section is controlled to transport the second banknotes into the gaps between the banknotes with discontinuous identification numbers.

[0006] The arranging device proposed in this invention is used in conjunction with a sorting machine. The sorting machine sorts and filters banknotes, and the arranging device arranges the banknotes processed by the sorting machine accordingly.

[0007] The sorting equipment includes a transport section, a first sorting device, and a second sorting device. The transport section can transport the first banknote and the second banknote, wherein the first banknote is the banknote product sorted by the first sorting device, and the second banknote is the banknote product sorted by the second sorting device.

[0008] The first sorting device includes a first sorting section and a first encoder. The first sorting section is connected to the transport section. The first sorting section can pick up multiple first banknotes and transfer them to the transport section. The transport section can move the multiple first banknotes to realize the transport of the first banknotes.

[0009] The first encoder is electrically connected to the first sorting unit. The first encoder is a component used to control the operation of the first sorting unit. Specifically, the first encoder is connected to the first sorting unit and is a component used to control the operation of the first sorting unit. Specifically, the first encoder can acquire the identification numbers of multiple first banknotes to be arranged and can control the operation of the first sorting unit according to the identification numbers of the multiple first banknotes. The first encoder makes gaps exist between the first banknotes with discontinuous identification numbers when they are transferred to the transport unit.

[0010] Specifically, the first encoder can obtain the position information and identification information of the first banknote with discontinuous identification numbers. When the first sorting part picks up the corresponding position, the first encoder can distinguish that the first banknote is a banknote with a discontinuous identification number from the first banknote in front. The first encoder controls the first sorting part to absorb the banknote once at intervals, that is, to pause for a preset time before absorbing the first banknote, so that there are gaps between the first banknotes with discontinuous identification numbers among the multiple first banknotes when they are transferred to the transport part.

[0011] The second sorting device is specifically a sorting device used for replacement serial numbers. The second sorting device includes a second sorting section and a second encoder. The second sorting section is connected to the transport section. The second sorting section can pick up the second banknote to transfer the second banknote to the transport section. The transport section transports the second banknote, which is a banknote product used to replace serial numbers on the first banknote.

[0012] The second encoder is electrically connected to the second sorting unit and the transport unit respectively. The second sorting unit can obtain the identification number of the multiple first banknotes to be arranged and the position of the gap on the transport unit. Based on the identification number of the multiple first banknotes and the position of the gap on the transport unit, the second sorting unit controls the operation of the second sorting unit to transport the second banknotes to the gap between the first banknotes with discontinuous identification numbers.

[0013] Specifically, after the second encoder obtains the identification number of multiple first banknotes and the position of the gap on the transport section, it can determine the identification number of the second banknote to be supplemented and the position of the second banknote to be supplemented. Then, it controls the second sorting section to transport the second banknote to the corresponding gap to realize the replacement operation.

[0014] This invention employs a two-group sorting device and a two-way convergence method to insert the second banknote for replacement serial numbers into the gaps in the first banknotes of the original batch. This results in a batch of products with consecutive serial numbers, significantly improving the reliability and production efficiency of arranging banknotes with consecutive serial numbers. The replacement process is entirely automated, requiring no manual intervention, thus improving accuracy and reducing the workload for operators.

Detailed Implementation

[0047] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other.

[0048] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0049] The following reference Figures 1 to 14 The arrangement device 100 and the control method of the arrangement device are described according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment of the application, a sorting device 100 is proposed for use in conjunction with a sorting machine. The sorting device 100 includes: a transport section 110; a first sorting device 120, which includes a first sorting unit 122 and a first encoder 121. The first sorting unit 122 is connected to the transport section 110 and can absorb multiple first banknotes 200 and transfer them to the transport section 110, which in turn moves the multiple first banknotes 200. The first encoder 121 is electrically connected to the first sorting unit 122 and can acquire the identification number of the multiple first banknotes 200 to be sorted. The encoder 121 can control the first sorting unit 122 to operate based on the identification number of the multiple first banknotes 200, so that the multiple first banknotes 200 are transferred to the transport section 110. When the first banknotes 200 are placed on the transport unit 110, there are gaps 195 between the first banknotes 200 whose identification numbers are not consecutive. The second sorting device 130 includes a second sorting section 132 and a second encoder 134. The second sorting section 132 is connected to the transport unit 110 and can pick up the second banknotes 300. The second encoder 134 is electrically connected to the second sorting section 132 and the transport unit 110 respectively. The second sorting section 132 can obtain the identification numbers of the multiple first banknotes 200 to be arranged and the position of the gaps 195 on the transport unit 110. Based on the identification numbers of the multiple first banknotes 200 and the position of the gaps 195 on the transport unit 110, the second sorting section 132 is controlled to work to transport the second banknotes 300 into the gaps 195 between the first banknotes 200 whose identification numbers are not consecutive.

[0051] In this embodiment, the arranging device 100 proposed in this invention can be used in conjunction with a sorting machine. The sorting machine sorts and filters banknotes, and the arranging device 100 arranges the banknotes processed by the sorting machine accordingly.

[0052] The sorting equipment 100 includes a transport section 110, a first sorting device 120, and a second sorting device 130. The transport section 110 can transport the first banknote 200 and the second banknote 300, wherein the first banknote 200 is the banknote product sorted by the first sorting device 120, and the second banknote 300 is the banknote product sorted by the second sorting device 130.

[0053] The first sorting device 120 includes a first sorting section 122 and a first encoder 121. The first sorting section 122 is connected to the transport section 110. The first sorting section 122 can pick up multiple first banknotes 200 after they have been sorted by the sorting machine and transfer the multiple first banknotes 200 to the transport section 110. The transport section 110 can move the multiple first banknotes 200 to realize the transport of the first banknotes 200.

[0054] Specifically, the first banknote 200 after being sorted by the sorting machine can be placed on the first platform 400, and the first sorting unit 122 can cooperate with the first platform 400 to absorb multiple first banknotes 200 after being sorted by the sorting machine.

[0055] The first encoder 121 is electrically connected to the first sorting unit 122. The first encoder 121 is a component used to control the operation of the first sorting unit 122. Specifically, the first encoder 121 can acquire the identification numbers of the multiple first banknotes 200 to be arranged, and can control the operation of the first sorting unit 122 according to the identification numbers of the multiple first banknotes 200, so that when they are transferred to the transport unit 110, there are gaps 195 between the multiple first banknotes 200 whose identification numbers are not continuous. Specifically, the first encoder 121 can obtain the position information and identification information of the first banknote 200 with discontinuous identification numbers. When the first sorting unit 122 sorts to the corresponding position, the first encoder 121 can distinguish that this first banknote 200 is a first banknote 200 with a discontinuous identification number from the first banknote 200 in front. The first encoder 121 controls the first sorting unit 122 to absorb once at intervals, that is, to pause for a preset time and then absorb this first banknote 200, so that when it is transferred to the transport unit 110, there is a gap 195 between the first banknotes 200 with discontinuous identification numbers.

[0056] The second sorting device 130 is specifically a sorting device for performing replacement serial numbers. The second sorting device 130 includes a second sorting section 132 and a second encoder 134. The second sorting section 132 is connected to the transport section 110. The second sorting section 132 can pick up the second banknote 300 to transfer the second banknote 300 to the transport section 110. The transport section 110 transports the second banknote 300, which is a banknote product used to replace the first banknote 200.

[0057] Specifically, the second banknote 300 used for replacement serial numbers can be placed on the second platform 500, and the second sorting unit 132 adsorbs the banknotes located on the second platform 500.

[0058] The second encoder 134 is electrically connected to the second sorting unit 132 and the transport unit 110 respectively. The second sorting unit 132 can obtain the identification number of the multiple first banknotes 200 to be arranged and the position of the gap 195 on the transport unit 110. Based on the identification number of the multiple first banknotes 200 and the position of the gap 195 on the transport unit 110, the second sorting unit 132 is controlled to work so as to transport the second banknotes 300 to the gap 195 between the first banknotes 200 with discontinuous identification numbers.

[0059] Specifically, after the second encoder 134 obtains the identification numbers of multiple first banknotes 200 and the position of the gap 195 on the transport section 110, it can determine the identification number of the second banknote 300 that should be supplemented and the position where the second banknote 300 should be supplemented. Then, it controls the second sorting section 132 to transport the second banknote 300 to the corresponding gap 195 to realize the replacement operation.

[0060] This invention employs a two-group sorting device and a two-way convergence method to insert the second banknote 300 for replacement serial numbers into the gap 195 of the first banknote 200 in the original batch. This results in a batch of products with consecutive serial numbers, significantly improving the reliability and production efficiency of arranging banknotes with consecutive serial numbers. The replacement process is entirely automated, requiring no manual intervention, thus improving accuracy and reducing the workload for operators.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment of the application, the sorting device 100 further includes: a first collecting device 140 connected to the transport section 110 and located at one end of the transport section 110 away from the first sorting section 122; along the transport direction of the transport section 110, a second sorting section 132 is located between the first sorting section 122 and the first collecting device 140; the first collecting device 140 is used to store the first banknote 200 and the second banknote 300.

[0062] In this embodiment, the arranging device 100 further includes a first collecting device 140, which is connected to the transport section 110 and located at one end of the transport section 110 away from the first sorting section 122. Along the transport direction of the transport section 110, the second sorting section 132 is located between the first sorting section 122 and the first collecting device 140, that is, from one end of the transport section 110 of the arranging device 100 to the other end. The arranging device 100 consists of a second collecting device 150, a second sorting section 132, and a first sorting section 122 in sequence. The second collecting device 150 is used to store the first banknote 200 and the second banknote 300. Specifically, the second collecting device 150 is a component used to store banknotes that are marked as consecutive and of good quality.

[0063] Specifically, the arranging device 100 also includes a bundling device, which is disposed in the first collecting device and is used to bundle the first banknote 200 and the second banknote 300 located in the first collecting device 140, thereby realizing the encapsulation and collection of the first banknote 200 and the second banknote 300.

[0064] like Figure 1 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the first sorting unit 122 includes: a sorting wheel 124 connected to the transport unit 110; an air passage 126 provided inside the sorting wheel 124, and an air port 128 opened on the outer wall of the sorting wheel 124, the air port 128 communicating with the air passage 126; an air extraction device 123 connected to the air passage 126, used to extract the gas in the air passage 126 so that suction is generated at the air port 128 to adsorb the first banknote 200, so that the first banknote 200 rotates with the sorting wheel 124; a switch 129 movably disposed in the air passage 126, used to control the opening and closing of the air passage 126; and a first encoder 121 connected to the switch 129, used to control the operation of the switch 129 according to the identification number of multiple first banknotes 200 obtained by the encoder.

[0065] In this embodiment, the first sorting unit includes a sorting wheel 124, an air extraction device 123, and a switch 129. The sorting wheel 124 is connected to the transport unit 110 and can rotate to transport the first banknote 200. An air passage 126 is provided inside the sorting wheel 124, and an air port 128 is opened on the outer wall of the sorting wheel 124, which is connected to the air passage 126. The air extraction device 123 of the first sorting unit 122 is connected to the air passage 126 and is used to extract the gas in the air passage 126 to generate suction at the air port 128, which adsorbs the first banknote 200, causing the first banknote 200 to rotate with the sorting wheel 124, thereby realizing the transport of the first banknote 200 by the sorting wheel 124.

[0066] The switch 129 of the first sorting unit 122 is movably disposed in the air passage 126 and is used to control the opening and closing of the air passage 126. The first encoder 121 is connected to the switch 129 and is used to control the operation of the switch 129 according to the identification number of the multiple first banknotes 200 obtained by the encoder.

[0067] When the first sorting unit 122 is operating, the exhaust device 123 is fully activated to extract air from the air passage 126, creating a negative pressure environment within the air passage 126. The first encoder 121 is connected to the switch 129. The first encoder 121 controls the switch 129 to open or close based on the identification numbers of multiple first banknotes 200, thereby generating suction or eliminating suction at the air inlet 128 to achieve the adsorption and sorting of the first banknotes 200. When the identification number of the first banknote 200 to be adsorbed by the sorting wheel 124 is not continuous with the identification number of the first banknote 200 previously adsorbed and transported by the sorting wheel 124, the first encoder 121 controls the switch 129 to close, and the sorting wheel 124 will not adsorb and sort this first banknote 200. After a preset time of inactivity, the first encoder 121 controls the switch 129 to open, and the air inlet 128 returns to a state of suction, adsorbing the first banknote 200 to be adsorbed and transporting the first banknote 200 to the transport unit 110.

[0068] The present invention controls the on / off state of the negative pressure by adding a switch 129 structure in the negative pressure channel, so that the first banknote 200 can be sorted completely according to the given phase.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 4 The diagram illustrates the workflow of the arranging device 100 proposed in this invention during the arranging and transporting of first banknotes 200 in good condition with non-contiguous serial numbers. Specifically, Figures 2 to 4 The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 are the identification numbers carried on the first banknote 200, and 8 is the identification number carried on the second banknote 300. Firstly, as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, by controlling the switch 129, the adsorption control of the first banknote 200 is realized, and a gap 195 is directly formed between the first banknotes 200 with discontinuous identification numbers (the first banknote 200 with identification number 7 and the first banknote 200 with identification number 9) located on the transport section 110. The second encoder 134 controls the second sorting section 132 to sort out the second banknote 300 (the second banknote 300 with identification number 8) according to the obtained positions of the first banknotes 200 with discontinuous identification numbers and the gap 195 on the transport section 110.

[0070] Next, as Figure 4 As shown, insert the second banknote 300 (identified by number 8) into the gap 195 to achieve the output of all good banknotes with consecutive identification numbers.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the arranging device 100 further includes: a second collecting device 150 for storing waste banknotes 210, located on one side of the transport section 110; a guide member 160 connected to the transport section 110 and located between the first sorting section 122 and the second sorting section 132, the guide member 160 being rotatable between a first position and a second position, wherein when the guide member 160 rotates to the first position, the transport section 110 is connected to the second collecting device 150, and when the guide member 160 rotates to the second position, the transport section 110 is separated from the second collecting device 150; and a third encoder 156 connected to the transport section 110 and the guide member 160 respectively, the third encoder 156 being able to acquire waste banknotes 210 from the multiple first banknotes 200 to be arranged, and control the guide member 160 to rotate to the first position according to the waste banknotes 210 in the first banknotes 200.

[0072] In this embodiment, the sorting device 100 further includes a second collecting device 150, a guide 160, and a third switch. The second collecting device 150 is used to store waste coins 210 and is located on one side of the transport section 110. The third collecting device can be connected to the transport section 110 through the guide 160. Specifically, the guide 160 is connected to the transport section 110 and is located between the first sorting section 122 and the second sorting section 132 along the transport direction of the transport section 110.

[0073] The guide 160 is rotatable between a first position and a second position. When the guide 160 rotates to the first position, the transport section 110 is connected to the first collection device 140, and the first banknote 200 transported on the transport section 110 will move into the first collection device 140.

[0074] When the guide 160 rotates to the second position, the transport section 110 separates from the first collection device 140. The second banknote 300 transported on the transport section 110 will not enter the first collection device 140, but will continue to move backward, pass through the connection position between the second sorting section 132 and the transport section 110, and finally enter the first collection device 140.

[0075] The third encoder 156 is connected to both the transport unit 110 and the guide member 160. The third encoder 156 can identify defective banknotes 210 from the multiple banknotes 200 to be arranged and control the guide member 160 to rotate to a first position based on the defective banknotes 210. This effectively separates the defective banknotes 210 from the banknotes 200, ensuring that only high-quality banknotes 200 remain on the transport unit 110. Controlling the rotation of the guide member 160 also prevents high-quality banknotes 200 from being mistakenly sent to the second collection device 150.

[0076] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the second encoder 134 can also acquire the waste banknotes 210 among the multiple first banknotes 200 to be arranged. The second encoder 134 is also used to control the operation of the second sorting unit 132 according to the position of the waste banknotes 210 among the multiple first banknotes 200 and the gap 195 on the transport unit 110, so as to transport the second banknotes 300 to the gap 195 formed on the transport unit 110 after the waste banknotes 210 are moved to the second collection device 150.

[0077] In this embodiment, due to the function of the guide 160, the second collection device 150 and the third switch, after the waste banknotes 210 in the first banknotes 200 are introduced into the second collection device 150, gaps 195 will appear on the transport section 110 accordingly.

[0078] The second encoder 134 can also acquire the scrap banknotes 210 from the multiple first banknotes 200. The second encoder 134 is also used to control the operation of the second sorting unit 132 based on the scrap banknotes 210 from the multiple first banknotes 200. The second sorting unit 132 sorts the second banknotes 300 to obtain the second banknotes 300 with the same identification number as the scrap banknotes 210. The second sorting unit 132 adsorbs the second banknotes 300 to transport them to the first collection device 140 after the scrap banknotes 210 have moved to the first collection device 140. In the gap 195 formed on the transport unit 110, the good banknotes are automatically replenished after the scrap banknotes 210 are rejected, and a batch of banknote products with consecutive identification numbers are obtained.

[0079] Specifically, for the first banknote 200 with consecutive identification numbers where good and bad banknotes 210 are mixed together, the workflow of the arranging device 100 proposed in this invention is as follows: Figures 5 to 8 shown, specifically, Figures 5 to 8 The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 are identification numbers carried on the first banknote 200 or the second banknote 300. Firstly, as... Figure 5 As shown, the first encoder 121 controls the first sorting unit 122 to perform sorting normally, that is, the first sorting device 120 operates normally, and the waste banknotes 210 with the identification code 8 are normally transported to the transportation unit 110.

[0080] After that, as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the third encoder 156 controls the guide 160 to rotate to the first position, removing the waste banknotes 210 and creating a gap 195 on the transport section 110. The second encoder 134 controls the second sorting section 132 to work according to the identification number of the waste banknotes 210 and the position of the gap 195 on the transport section 110, correspondingly sorting the second banknotes 300, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the second sorting unit 132 transports the second banknote 300 with the corresponding identification code 8 to the corresponding gap 195, and finally obtains banknote products with consecutive numbers, and achieves the output of all good products.

[0081] Specifically, such as Figure 9 As shown, for the first banknote 200 with discontinuous identification numbers that is a mixture of good and bad banknotes 210, the present invention can combine the method of discarding bad banknotes and directly forming gaps 195 to incorporate the second banknote 300 for replacement into the gaps 195, thereby achieving the output of all good banknotes with continuous numbers.

[0082] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the second collecting device 150 includes: a paper receiving wheel 152 connected to a guide member 160; and a collecting part 154 disposed below the paper receiving wheel 152 along the direction of gravity, wherein the paper receiving wheel 152 is rotatable to allow the waste banknotes 210 to enter the collecting part 154.

[0083] In this embodiment, the second collecting device 150 includes a paper receiving wheel 152 and a collecting part 154. The paper receiving wheel 152 is connected to a guide member 160. When the guide member 160 rotates to the first position, the waste banknotes 210 can enter the paper receiving wheel 152.

[0084] Along the direction of gravity, the collection section 154 is located below the paper receiving wheel 152. The paper receiving wheel 152 can rotate to allow the waste banknotes 210 to enter the collection section 154, thereby collecting the waste banknotes 210.

[0085] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the arranging device 100 further includes: a first inspection device 170, disposed in the transport section 110, located on one side of the first collection device 140, for inspecting the identification number of the first banknote 200 and the second banknote 300 to be entered into the first collection device 140.

[0086] In this embodiment, the arranging device 100 further includes a first inspection device 170, which is specifically disposed in the transport section 110 and located on one side of the first collection device 140. The first inspection device 170 is used to detect the identification numbers of the first banknote 200 and the second banknote 300 to be collected into the second collection device 150. By providing the first inspection device 170, the present invention achieves verification and confirmation of the continuity of the identification numbers of the first banknote 200 and the second banknote 300 to be collected, avoiding the occurrence of discontinuous identification numbers in the banknote products collected by the arranging device 100.

[0087] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the sorting device 100 further includes: a second inspection device 180, disposed in the transport section 110, located on one side of the first sorting section 122, for inspecting the identification number of the first banknote 200 transferred from the first sorting section 122 to the transport section 110.

[0088] In this embodiment, the sorting device 100 further includes a second inspection device 180. In terms of the setting position, the second inspection device 180 is disposed in the transport section 110 and located on one side of the first sorting section 122. Specifically, the first inspection device 170 is located on the banknote dispensing side of the first sorting section 122, that is, on the side where the first sorting section 122 is connected to the transport section 110, and is used to transport the first banknote 200 to the transport section 110.

[0089] The second inspection device 180 is used to inspect the identification number of the first banknote 200 transmitted from the first sorting unit 122 to the transport unit 110. This enables the verification and confirmation of the identification number of the first banknote 200 transmitted from the first sorting unit 122. If it is determined that the identification number of the first banknote 200 transmitted from the first sorting unit 122 to the transport unit 110 is continuous with the identification number of the first banknote 200 located on the front side of the transport unit 110, the sorting equipment 100 is allowed to operate normally. If it is determined that the identification number of the first banknote 200 transmitted from the first sorting unit 122 to the transport unit 110 is not continuous with the identification number of the first banknote 200 located on the front side of the transport unit 110, the first sorting unit 122 is considered to have a sorting malfunction, and the sorting equipment 100 is stopped. This avoids the final collection of banknote products with discontinuous serial numbers and improves the reliability of the sorting operation performed by the sorting equipment 100.

[0090] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the sorting device 100 further includes: a third detection device 190, disposed in the transport section 110, located on one side of the second sorting section 132, for checking the identification number of the second banknote 300 transferred from the second sorting section 132 to the transport section 110.

[0091] In this embodiment, the sorting device 100 further includes a third detection device 190. In terms of position, the third detection device is disposed in the transport section 110, located on one side of the second sorting section 132. Specifically, the second inspection device 180 is located on the banknote dispensing side of the second sorting section 132, that is, on the side where the second sorting section 132 is connected to the transport section 110, for transporting the second banknote 300 onto the transport section 110.

[0092] The third detection device 190 is used to check the identification number of the second banknote 300 transmitted from the second sorting unit 132 to the transportation unit 110. It realizes the verification and confirmation of the identification number of the second banknote 300 transmitted from the second sorting unit 132. If it is determined that the identification number of the second banknote 300 transmitted from the second sorting unit 132 to the transportation unit 110 is continuous with the identification number of the first banknote 200 located in front of the gap 195 on the transportation unit 110, the arranging equipment 100 is allowed to operate normally. If it is determined that the identification number of the second banknote 300 transmitted from the second sorting unit 132 to the transportation unit 110 is not continuous with the identification number of the first banknote 200 located in front of the gap 195 on the transportation unit 110, the second sorting unit 132 is considered to have a sorting failure, and the arranging equipment 100 is stopped. This avoids the final collection of banknote products with discontinuous numbers and improves the reliability of the arranging equipment 100 in performing the replacement operation.

[0093] like Figure 13 The diagram shows one of the flowcharts illustrating a control method for an arranging device proposed in this invention, wherein the control method includes:

[0094] S602: Obtain the identifier of the multiple first banknotes to be arranged;

[0095] S604: Control the operation of the first sorting section based on the identification number of multiple first banknotes so that there are gaps between the first banknotes with discontinuous identification numbers when they are on the transport section.

[0096] S606: Based on the identification numbers of multiple first banknotes and the position of the gaps in the transport section, control the operation of the second sorting section to transport the second banknotes into the gaps between the first banknotes with discontinuous identification numbers.

[0097] In this embodiment, a second objective of the present invention is to provide a control method for an arrangement device, for controlling an arrangement device as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the control method for the arrangement device includes: firstly, acquiring the identification numbers of multiple first banknotes to be arranged, and then controlling a first sorting unit to operate based on the identification numbers of the multiple first banknotes, so that there are gaps between the first banknotes with discontinuous identification numbers when they are located on the transport unit.

[0098] Based on the identification numbers of multiple first banknotes and the positions of the gaps in the transport section, the second sorting section is controlled to transport the second banknotes to the gaps between the first banknotes with discontinuous identification numbers. Specifically, after obtaining the identification numbers of multiple first banknotes and the positions of the gaps in the transport section, the identification number of the second banknote and the position where the second banknote should be replaced are determined accordingly. The second sorting section is then controlled to transport the second banknotes to the corresponding gap positions, thus completing the replacement operation.

[0099] This invention controls the first and second sorting sections to insert the second banknotes for replacement serial numbers into the gaps in the first banknotes of the original batch, thus achieving continuous serial numbers for the batch of banknotes. The replacement process is entirely automated, requiring no manual intervention, thereby improving accuracy and reducing the workload for operators.

[0100] Specifically, after controlling the operation of the first sorting section based on the identification numbers of multiple first banknotes to create gaps between the first banknotes with discontinuous identification numbers when they are on the transport section, the control method of the sorting equipment further includes: acquiring defective banknotes from the multiple first banknotes; and controlling a guide to rotate to a first position based on the defective banknotes from the multiple first banknotes to create gaps between the multiple first banknotes on the transport section.

[0101] While performing the step of controlling the operation of the second sorting unit based on the identification numbers of multiple first banknotes and the position of the gaps on the transport section to transport the second banknotes to the gaps in the first banknotes with discontinuous identification numbers, the control method of the sorting equipment also includes: controlling the operation of the second sorting unit based on the position of the waste banknotes among the multiple first banknotes and the gaps on the transport section to transfer the second banknotes to the gaps formed on the transport section after the waste banknotes have moved to the first collection device.

[0102] The control method for the sorting device proposed in this invention is also used to control the operation of the second sorting unit based on the position of the waste banknotes among the multiple first banknotes detected by the sorting machine and the gap on the transport section. The second sorting unit screens and sorts the second banknotes to obtain banknotes with the same identification number as the waste banknotes. The second sorting unit then absorbs these second banknotes and transports them to the gap formed on the transport section after the waste banknotes have moved to the first collection device. This achieves automatic replenishment of good banknotes after the waste banknotes are removed, and results in a batch of products with continuously arranged identification numbers.

[0103] like Figure 14 The diagram shows a second schematic flow chart of a control method for an arranging device proposed in this invention, wherein the control method includes:

[0104] S702: Obtain the identifier of the multiple first banknotes to be arranged;

[0105] S704: When the identification number of the first banknote to be adsorbed by the first sorting unit is not continuous with the identification number of the first banknote previously adsorbed and transported by the first sorting unit, the first sorting unit is controlled to stop working.

[0106] S706: After a preset time of work stoppage, the first sorting unit is controlled to adsorb the first banknote to be adsorbed and transfer it to the transport unit so that there are gaps between the first banknotes with discontinuous identification numbers when they are on the transport unit.

[0107] S708: Based on the identification numbers of multiple first banknotes and the position of the gaps in the transport section, control the operation of the second sorting section to transport the second banknotes into the gaps between the first banknotes with discontinuous identification numbers.

[0108] In this embodiment, the operation of the first sorting unit is controlled according to the identification numbers of multiple first banknotes. Specifically, when the identification number of the first banknote to be picked up by the first sorting unit is not continuous with the identification number of the first banknote previously picked up and transported by the first sorting unit, the first sorting unit is first controlled to stop working. Then, the duration of the first sorting unit stopping working is detected. After a preset duration of stopping working, the first sorting unit is controlled to pick up the first banknote to be picked up and transport the first banknote to the transportation unit.

[0109] This invention controls the intermittent adsorption process, that is, pausing for a preset time before adsorbing the first banknote, so that when the first banknotes with discontinuous identification numbers are transported to the transport department, there are gaps between the first banknotes, thus providing space for replacement numbers, and finally achieving a batch of banknote products with continuous identification numbers.
