Description

  The present invention relates to a paper sheet bundling apparatus for automatically bundling paper sheets with a tape.

  As a paper sheet bundling device for automatically bundling paper sheets, there is one described in Patent Document 1. In the new banding tape used in this paper sheet banding device, as shown in FIG. 9, the adhesive 1a is stuck on the back side of the banding tape 2 so that the tip of the banding tape 2 is not unraveled, or the banding tape. Adhesive tape 1b is affixed to the front end of 2 and the front end is fixed.

For this reason, when a new banding tape 2 is used, the adhesive 1a and the adhesive tape 1b are peeled off, and as shown in FIG. Unsuitable part ”). And if it uses it in that state, a welding defect will generate | occur | produce at the time of banding and heat-welding, and the defect on the external appearance of a banding will generate | occur | produce. In order to prevent these problems, in the conventional paper sheet banding device, when it is first used, the operator cuts off the unsuitable part of the banding tape 2 with scissors or the like.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-20994

  However, as described above, in the conventional paper sheet banding device, a tool such as scissors must be prepared and placed, and if it is prepared, if it is not a skilled operator, an unsuitable part is cut off. There was a problem in that it was used without being used, resulting in bad banding or jamming.

  The present invention employs the following means in order to solve the aforementioned problems. That is, the present invention provides a paper sheet bundling device for bundling a predetermined number of paper sheets with a bundling tape by providing a folded portion of a predetermined length from the front end of the bundling tape, and the use-unsuitable part on the front side of the bundling tape However, the folding length was adjusted so as not to be in the range from the folding position to the cutting position.

  According to the automatic transaction apparatus of the present invention, in the paper sheet bundling apparatus for bundling a predetermined number of paper sheets with a bundling tape by providing a folded portion of a predetermined length from the front end of the bundling tape, the front side of the bundling tape Since the band length was adjusted so that the unsuitable part would not be in the range from the folding position to the cutting position, the banding tape used by the operator when installing or replacing a new tape was used. Eliminates the need to remove inappropriate parts.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, as the paper sheet bundling device of the present invention, there are some which handle tickets such as railway tickets, commuter passes, air tickets, admission tickets, winning horse voting tickets, securities, gift certificates, banknotes, etc. In the embodiment, a paper sheet bundling device that handles general banknotes will be described as an example.

  The paper sheet bundling device of the embodiment performs bundling by adjusting the folding length so that the unsuitable part of the bundling tape does not fall within the range from the folding position of the bundling tape to the cutting position or further in the vicinity of the bundling tape cut position. It is what I did.

(Constitution)
FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of a cash processor provided with a paper sheet bundling device. As shown in the figure, the cash processing machine 100 includes a display operation unit 22 for performing operations such as authentication and designation of transaction type, a recognition unit 23 for recognizing banknotes deposited from the depositing unit 24, and a recognized banknote. As shown in the figure, a bundle collecting unit 25 that is reversed and collected by the front / back reversing unit 21 as appropriate, a bundle carrier unit 20 that conveys the accumulated bundles to the banding unit 26, and a banding unit 26 that performs the banding process on the conveyed bundles. Arranged and deposited banknotes are bundled with a desired number of banknotes by a customer's operation, and banded, and discharged from a dispensing port disposed on the depth side of the banding portion 26 (not shown).

  FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of the paper sheet bundling device of the embodiment corresponding to the bundling portion 26 of the cash processing machine 100. 1 is a tape holder for attaching and fixing a banding tape, 2 is a banding tape for banding a desired number of banknotes, 3 is a tape feeding roller for conveying the banding tape 2, 4 is a tape feeding motor for driving the tape feeding roller 3, 5 is a tape remaining amount detection lever for detecting the remaining amount of the banding tape 2, and 6 is a tape remaining amount detection sensor for detecting the remaining amount of the banding tape 2.

  The tape remaining amount detection lever 5 is urged by a spring or the like in the direction of arrow X in the figure, and gradually rotates in the X direction every time the remaining amount of the banding tape 2 decreases. The tape remaining amount detection sensor 6 includes two transmission sensors, and each end of the tape remaining amount detection lever 5 on the side opposite to the rotation fulcrum crosses the transmission sensor and detects that transmitted light is blocked. Detects the remaining amount of tape.

  Reference numeral 7 denotes a bill carrier corresponding to the bundle carrier portion 20, and a banding mechanism corresponding to the banding portion 26 by a driving means (not shown) while being banded in a state in which the number of paper sheets indicated as indicated by an arrow A in FIG. Move to the part 30 side.

  The tape catch 8 rotates while grasping the front end of the banding tape 2 by the catch part 8a to enclose the banding tape 2, 9 is a catch rotation motor that rotationally drives the tape catch 8, and 10 is an opening / closing of the catch part 8a. A catch opening / closing solenoid for driving, and a catch pulling solenoid of 11 is a catch pulling solenoid that is driven when pulling the banding tape 2 from the catch portion 8a after banding.

  Further, although not shown in FIG. 1, a heating member 12 is provided as shown in FIG. 6 to be described later, and the adhesive layer on the back side of the paper band is melted by tracing the overlapping portion of the band sealing tape 2 with the heating member. The cutter 13 cuts at a desired position.

  In the above description, a motor or a solenoid is used as a drive component. However, other drive means may be used, or each component may be linked to share the drive means. Of course.

(Operation)
With the above configuration, the paper sheet bundling device of the embodiment operates as follows. This operation will be described with reference to the operation explanatory diagrams of FIGS.

  First, as shown in FIG. 1, the tape catch 8 holds the tip of the banding tape and moves the bill carrier 7 as shown by the arrow A in FIG. When it is rotated in the direction as shown in FIG. 3, and further rotated for about one rotation, an annular shape and a folded shape are formed as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the tape feed roller 3 is reversed in the direction of arrow D, the banding tape is returned in the direction of arrow C, and the banknote is banded.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the adhesive layer on the back surface of the tape is melted by tracing the overlapping portion of the banding tape 2 in the direction of arrow E by the heating member 12, and the banding tape 2 is cut by the tape cutter 13. Then, after tracing and bonding to the end of the cut banding tape 2 with the heating member 12, the catcher pulling solenoid 11 is driven to pull out the tape catch 8, and the banding operation is completed.

  By the above operation, the banded tape becomes a band winding shape as shown in FIG. Here, the folding length Lx shown in FIG. 7 can be arbitrarily controlled and set by changing the position where the tape catch 8 grips the banding tape 2 as shown in FIG.

  In the paper sheet bundling device of this example, the tape remaining amount detection lever 5 for detecting the outer diameter of the banding tape 2 and the tape remaining amount detection sensor 6 first detected that the outer diameter was equivalent to a new one. Sometimes, it is determined that a new bundling tape 2 is set, and as will be described in detail later, when the bundling operation is performed by setting a folding length different from the bundling after the second bundle, Is set to the normal folding length to perform the bundling operation.

  The operator does not detect that a new banding tape 2 has been set, but uses the tape remaining amount detection lever 5 and the tape remaining amount detection sensor 6 to set the banding tape 2 anew. You may do it. Alternatively, it detects one or more of the operations related to banding tape replacement, such as detection of attachment / detachment of the tape holder 1, detection of opening / closing of the maintenance cover, detection of switch-on to start feeding of banding tape, etc. Accordingly, the remaining tape detection sensor 6 can be substituted.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 9, the new banding tape 2 has a tip that is attached by a method of applying the adhesive 1a to the back surface of the tape or a method of fixing the tip by the adhesive tape 1b so that the tape is not unwound. It is fixed. For this reason, when using the new banding tape 2, if the tape tip is peeled off, an unsuitable portion of adhesive residue / spread 1 c or adhesive peeling 1 d as shown in FIG. 10 occurs. These unsuitable portions become unnecessary materials when they are melted and bonded by the heating member 12, and characters and the like are faded when printed or the like, so that they are unsuitable as a banding position.

  Since the adhesive tape 1b and the adhesive 1b are affixed to the tape front end 2a, as shown in FIG. 11, for example, when the banding tape 2 is a reel having an outer diameter R = 200 mm, 0 mm to 30 mm from the tape front end 2a. On the surface of the tape, adhesive residue / crushing 1c and adhesive peeling 1d are generated. Then, since the length after one winding, that is, the outer periphery is π * R, the adhesive residue / crushing 1e is also generated on the tape surface in the range of 630 mm to 660 mm per 628 mm. FIG. 11A shows an example in which an adjustment white ΔLx described later is not provided, and FIG. 11B shows an example in which an adjustment white ΔLx is provided.

  On the other hand, FIG. 12 shows a state when a banknote having a width W = about 80 mm and a height H = about 10 mm is sealed. Note that FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 to be described later show a diagram when opening and first bundling as the operation of the present embodiment, and an adjustment white ΔLx (broken line portion) is provided as shown in FIG. Figure shows when.

  As shown in FIG. 12, when the adjustment white ΔLx is provided, the adjustment white (ΔLx in FIG. 13) indicated by a broken line from the tape tip 2a * to the point 2a is provided, and then the turning point 2c is reached. A normal folding length Lx = 40 mm is provided, and a front end 2d of an adhesive peeling prohibition area on the back side is provided in the middle of the tape cutting position 2e and is sealed.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram in which the banding shape of FIG. 12 when the adjustment white ΔLx is set is expressed as one dimension. As shown in the figure, since it is folded and placed inside the band seal, there is no problem even if there is any adhesive residue, crushing or peeling of the adhesive. And the normal turn-back length Lx, and the range in which the adhesive residue / powder or peel-off appears on the surface becomes defective is from the turn-back point 2c to the tape cut position 2e. In addition, if adhesive peeling is located in the vicinity of the tape cutting position 2e, a thermal welding failure occurs, and therefore the adhesive peeling prohibition range is approximately 40 mm before the tape cutting position 2e.

  By the way, in the case where the banding tape 2 is a reel having an outer diameter R = 200 mm and a banknote having a width W = 80 mm and a height H = 10 mm is banded, an adjustment white (broken line in FIG. 13) When the band is sealed without providing a length ΔLx), the leading end of the tape starts from 2a, the gap between the turn-back point 2c and the left end of the bundle of banknotes is ΔXs (about 30 mm), and heat welding is performed in the vicinity of the tape cutting position. When the length of the portion is ΔXe (about 60 mm), the length Lz of the banding tape required for the first bundle is Lx + (W−ΔXs) + H + W + H + ΔXe, and Lx + (80 mm−30 mm) +10 mm + 80 mm + 10 mm + 60 mm = Lx + 210 mm, that is, 40 mm + 210 mm = 250 mm Become.

  FIG. 11 (a) shows the adhesive residue and feed position in this case. As shown in the figure, when the first bundle of bundling is carried out without an adjustment scissor (broken line length ΔLx in FIG. 13), the adhesive residue / crush 1e is placed at a position 128 mm from the tip of the third bundle. Is generated on the surface of the banding tape 2, and if the banding is performed as it is, the adhesive remaining and the crust 1e are present on the surface of the banding of the third bundle, resulting in poor banding.

  Therefore, when the tape cutting position 2e of the first bundle, the second bundle, and the third bundle is in the range of 630 mm to 660 mm, the position of the adhesive residue / spread 1e becomes apparent on the surface and becomes a defective product. In order to avoid this, an adjustment white ΔLx, which is 120 mm in this example, is set as shown by the broken lines in FIGS. 11B, 12 and 13.

  Then, the length Lz of the banding tape required for the first bundle is ΔLx + Lx + (W−ΔXs) + H + W + H + ΔXe, and ΔLx + Lx + (80 mm−30 mm) +10 mm + 80 mm + 10 mm + 60 mm = ΔLx + Lx + 210 mm, that is, 120 mm + 40 mm + 210 mm = 370 mm. As a result, adhesive residue / spread 1e is generated on the surface of the banding tape 2 at a position 8 mm from the tip of the third bundle, and therefore the adhesive residue / spread 1e exists within the range of the folding length. There is no adhesive residue / spread 1e on the surface of the third bundle.

  In the above explanation, the operation when the adhesive tape 1b of the tape tip 2a or the adhesive tape is forgotten to be peeled off and the bandage tape is attached is not explained, but a special mark or the like is printed at a position corresponding to the length of the circumference of the bandage. When the mark is detected or not detected for a predetermined time, it is determined that the mark has been used as it is without being peeled off, and the operator uses the maintenance display unit and the voice output unit without starting the banding operation. It is advisable to prompt the excision.

  Further, in the above description, an example in which the tape cutting position of the second bundle is in the vicinity of the adhesive residue / powder 1e is shown. Of course, instead of adjusting the length of the bundle, the feed length Lx of the second bundle may be adjusted. Or you may make it adjust the feed length Lx of the 1st bundle and the 2nd bundle equally.

  In the above description, an example in which the paste is applied at the tip is shown. However, at the position where the paste application position is far from the periphery of the tip, the adjustment scale may be adjusted according to the distance. . Alternatively, the paste application position may be detected by an optical sensor or the like, and the length of the adjustment white ΔLx may be adjusted according to the distance from the tape tip position. Further, in the above description, the banding tape having an outer diameter of 200 mm has been described as an example. However, regardless of the diameter, the outer diameter is detected, and the position of the unsuitable part corresponding to the outer diameter is calculated. The position of the unsuitable part can be prevented from being in the range from the folding position of the banding tape to the cutting position or even near the banding tape cutting position.

(Effect of Example)
As described above, according to the paper sheet bundling device of the embodiment, the paste application position for fixing the bundling tape so as not to be unwound and the position after the first winding range from the folding position of the bundling tape to the cutting position or In addition, the band length is adjusted so that it is not near the banding tape cut position, and the banding is adjusted so that the date and other unclear printing due to adhesive residue on the surface of the banding tape does not occur. There is no occurrence of poor heat welding caused by adhesive residue on the part.

  As a result, when the new tape is attached or replaced, the operation of removing the adhesive pasting portion of the banding tape, which has been performed by the operator, becomes unnecessary. That is, as shown in FIG. 14, it is necessary to remove the unsuitable part a that is the glue pasting part at the tip or the unsuitable part b that is the glue pasting part remaining around the circumference, but the paper sheet of the embodiment According to the banding device, the operation is not necessary.

  Moreover, since it is necessary to cut out at least the unsuitable part a and unsuitable part b, there is a problem that a recovery device is required and the apparatus cannot be reduced in size. Since it can be sealed even if it remains, no recovery device is required, and the device can be downsized.

  As described above, the present invention can be widely used in a bundling apparatus for bundling a medium such as a card or paper having a predetermined size.
