Description

  The present invention relates to a large bundle sealing machine, and more particularly to a device for further binding small bundles of paper sheets such as banknotes into a large bundle and winding the band around the large bundle.

In order to collect a large amount of banknotes, normally, 100 banknotes are sealed with a band to form one bundle (small bundle), and a plurality of small bundles are bundled into a large bundle and further sealed with a band. In order to seal a large bundle with a band, a horizontal band is wound around the large bundle in the long side direction of the banknote, and then a vertical band is wound around the short side of the banknote. In order to perform this operation, it is necessary to rotate the large bundle by 90 °.
For example, in the conventional large bundle banding machine described in Patent Document 1, a plurality of small bundles are placed on a bill placing table to form a large bundle, and then a horizontal band is wound with a pair of clamp members sandwiching the large bundle. Rotating the large bundle by 90 ° and then winding the vertical band further performs a large bundle band-sealing operation.

JP-A-8-58723

  However, the conventional large bundle banding machine has a problem that the large bundle is rotated 90 ° after the large bundle is grasped, and therefore, the operation is unstable due to a large mechanism. Furthermore, since it is mechanically large, only a floor type large bundle banding machine could be realized.

  The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a large bundle banding machine that realizes a desktop type and stabilizes the operation of a large bundle by adopting a simple mechanism. .

  A large bundle bundling machine according to the present invention is a large bundle bundling machine that performs bundling on a large bundle obtained by bundling a plurality of small bundles obtained by bundling a plurality of paper sheets, and places the large bundle while placing the large bundle on an inclined state. The rotary table that rotates 90 ° while the rotary table rotates 90 °, and then the ascending mechanism that raises the large bundle, the large bundle before the rotation of the rotary table, and the rotation of the rotary table A bundling mechanism portion for bundling the large bundle raised by the raising mechanism portion later.

  According to the present invention, since the rotary table itself carrying the large bundle rotates together with the large bundle, a mechanism for gripping the large bundle becomes unnecessary, so that the entire apparatus becomes a simple mechanism and the desktop-type large bundle binding machine is Can be realized. Also, by placing the large bundle on the inclined rotary table, the large bundle can be easily aligned by its own weight, and the large bundle rotates together with the rotary table, so that the operation of the large bundle in the large bundle banding machine can be stabilized. .

  As shown in FIG. 3, the large bundle setting unit 2 is provided with a rotary table 30 that constitutes the bottom surface of the large bundle setting unit 2, that is, the bottom surface on which the large bundle 10 is placed. The turntable 30 is provided so as to have a downward slope having the same angle as that of the upper surface portion 1a from the rear to the front. Due to this inclination, the large bundle 10 abuts against the front side wall of the large bundle set portion 2 by its own weight, so that the large bundle 10 can be easily aligned in the large bundle set portion 2. The rotary table 30 is rotated 90 ° with the large bundle 10 placed by a mechanism described later, but the large bundle 10 in the rotated state (the state depicted by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 3) is lifted upward to form a large bundle. A lifting mechanism 40 is provided for positioning 10 within the loop guide 19 (see FIG. 2).

  As FIG. 4 shows, the base 32 is being fixed to the bottom part in the inside of the large bundle binding machine 1 (refer FIG. 3). A link 33 is connected to the base 32 so as to extend toward the rotary table 30, and a link 34 is connected to an upper end portion of the link 33 so as to extend toward the rotary table 30. A rotary table 30 is provided at the upper end of the link 34 so as to be rotatable at an angle of 90 °.

And 43. A part of the rotation belt 44 is fixed to the lift plate 41 by a fixing member 45, and the rotation belt 44 is rotated by the rotation of the pulleys 42 and 43, so that the lift plate 41 rises toward the large bundle setting portion 2. It has become. Due to such movement of the lift plate 41, the large bundle 10 rises toward the large bundle setting portion 2.

Next, the operation of the large bundle banding machine according to this embodiment will be described.
First, an operation for arranging the tape 11 in a loop shape on the loop guide 19 in advance as a preparatory operation of the large bundle binding machine 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 6A, the tip of the tape 11 of the roll tape 12 is manually passed through the guide roller 13, and then the tip is inserted into the tape detection sensor 16. When the tape detection sensor 16 detects the leading edge of the tape 11, the tape feed rollers 14 and 15 are automatically rotated, and the leading edge of the tape 11 is sent to the tape detection sensor 17. As shown in FIG. 6B, when the movable unit 18 is moved forward (in the direction of arrow B), the tape detection sensor 17 into which the tip of the tape 11 is inserted together with the movable unit 18 is moved to the loop guide 19. It moves to the vicinity of the start end 19a. As shown in FIG. 6 (c), when the tape feed rollers 14 and 15 are rotated, the tape 11 is fed along the loop guide 19. When the rotation of the tape feed rollers 14 and 15 is stopped when the tape 11 is fed by a predetermined length, the tip of the tape 11 protrudes from the end portion 19b of the loop guide 19 and the tape 11 is looped. Be placed. Thereafter, the movable unit 18 returns to the position shown in FIG.

Next, the bundling operation to the large bundle 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7A, after the large bundle 10 is set in the large bundle setting unit 2, when the switch 3 (see FIG. 1) of the large bundle banding machine 1 is pressed, the compression plate 24 moves toward the large bundle 10. Then, the compression plate 24 compresses the large bundle 10. In this state, by rotating the cam 21 and rotating the tape cut arm 20, the tip end portion of the tape cut arm presses the tip end portion 11 a of the tape 11 against the large bundle 10.

  In this state, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the tape feed rollers 14 and 15 are rotated in the direction in which the tape 11 is wound around the roll tape 12, they are arranged in a loop along the loop guide 19. The tape 11 is wound around the large bundle 10 as a horizontal band in the long side direction of the bill while the leading end portion 11 a is pressed against the large bundle 10 by the leading end portion of the tape cut arm 20.

  As shown in FIG. 7C, the heater 26 presses the leading end portion 11 a of the tape 11 against the large bundle 10 by rotating the cam 23 and rotating the heater arm 22. Next, as shown in FIG. 7D, the tape 11 is cut by the cutter blade 25 by sagging the tape 11 and rotating the cam 21 by rotating the cam 21. In this state, the end portions of the tape wound around the large bundle 10 are glued together by the heater 26. Thereafter, the heater arm 22 and the compression plate 24 are returned to their original positions, and the winding operation of the horizontal band around the large bundle 10 is finished.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the rotary table 30 rotates with the large bundle 10 by an angle of 90 ° (in the direction of arrow C in FIG. 4). In this state, the large bundle 10 is oriented such that the longitudinal axis of the banknotes constituting the large bundle 10 is perpendicular to the upper surface portion 1a. As shown in FIG. 5, when the pulleys 42 and 43 rotate and the rotating belt 44 rotates, the lift plate 41 rises toward the large bundle setting unit 2 (see FIG. 3) as the rotating belt 44 rotates. As a result, the large bundle 10 rises toward the large bundle setting portion 2 (in the direction of arrow A). With the large bundle 10 positioned inside the loop guide 19 (see FIG. 7), the pulleys 42 and 43 stop rotating.

  Thereafter, the tape 11 is wound around the large bundle 10 as a vertical band in the short side direction of the banknote by the same method (see FIG. 7) as the method of winding the tape 11 around the large bundle 10 as a horizontal band. In this way, the band 10 is wound around the large bundle 10 so that the horizontal band and the vertical band intersect, and the band sealing operation is completed.

  Thus, since the rotary table 30 with the large bundle 10 itself rotates together with the large bundle 10, a mechanism for grasping the large bundle 10 becomes unnecessary, so the entire large bundle banding machine 1 becomes a simple mechanism and is a desktop type. The large bundle banding machine 1 can be realized. Also, by placing the large bundle 10 on the inclined rotary table 30, the large bundle can be easily aligned by its own weight itself, and the large bundle 10 rotates together with the rotary table 30, so that the large bundle 10 in the large bundle banding machine 1 The operation can be stabilized.
