Description

  The present invention relates to a large bundle creating system that collects small bundles of paper sheets to create large bundles of paper sheets.

  Conventionally, a small bundle is created by bundling a plurality of (for example, 100) banknotes and other securities with a first banding paper, and further, for example, ten small bundles are accumulated in a stacked state to form a second bundle. There is known a method for creating sealed securities, in which a large bundle is created by bundling with a banded paper. A conventional example of a method for creating such sealed securities is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-237726 (JP2003-237726A). By such a method, for example, a large bundle in which valuable securities such as 1000 banknotes are sealed is obtained.

JP 2003-237726 A

  However, in the conventional method of creating a large bundle, information management is not performed regarding what kind of property each of the plurality of small bundles has.

  On the other hand, at the site where large bundles of paper sheets are created, in order to clarify work responsibilities for the purpose of improving work quality, it is possible to manage who is the worker who created each of multiple small bundles, In one large bundle, it is required that only a small bundle created by one worker is bundled (all small bundles included in the large bundle become small bundles created by the worker). Yes.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of such points, and manages who created each of a plurality of small bundles, or created by one worker in one large bundle. It is an object of the present invention to provide a large bundle creation system that allows only small bundles to be bundled.

  The present invention includes at least one small bundle creating machine for creating a small bundle of paper sheets, a large bundle creating machine for creating a large bundle of paper sheets from a plurality of small bundles, and the at least one small bundle. A small bundle transport mechanism that connects the creating machine and the large bundle creating machine, ID information of each of the at least one small bundle creating machine, and each worker of the at least one small bundle creating machine And a control device for managing at least one of the ID information.

  According to the present invention, at least one of the ID information of each small bundle creating machine and the ID information of the worker of each small bundle creating machine is managed by the control device, for example, the same small bundle in one large bundle. It is possible to realize a control that only a small bundle created by the creating machine or the same worker is included.

  Specifically, the control device controls the small bundle transport mechanism so that only one small bundle created by the same small bundle creator or the same operator is included in one large bundle. Preferably it is.

  Preferably, at least one of the small bundle creating machines has a bundling device that arranges a plurality of paper sheets into a small bunch and binds them with a bundling paper. In this case, the subsequent transport of the small bundle is easy. Further, in this case, the bundling device prints at least one of the ID information of the small bundle creating machine and the ID information of the worker of the small bundle creating machine on the banded paper. Is preferred. In this case, information management of subsequent small bundles is easy. For example, the ID information of the small bundle creator or the ID information of the worker of the small bundle creator can be printed as a number display or barcode information.

  In the present invention, at least one of the small bundle creating machines may have a bundling preparation device that arranges a plurality of paper sheets into a state suitable for bundling with a bundling paper but does not bundling with a bundling paper. Good. In such a small bundle creating machine, an operator needs to manually bind with a banded paper. In such a case, variation in work quality among workers may be a problem, but according to the present invention, it is possible to realize control that only a small bundle created by the same worker is included in one large bundle. Because it can, there is no risk of confusion at the site.

  Preferably, the small bundle transport mechanism includes a small bundle temporary storage unit that temporarily stores the generated small bundle for each small bundle creator. In this case, it is easy to realize control that only one small bundle created by the same small bundle creator is included in one large bundle. Further, in this case, it is preferable that a plurality of the small bundle temporary holding units are provided for each small bundle creating machine so that temporary holding can be performed for each type of small bundle. In this case, different denominations and different bill types (loss) can be processed in the same small bundle making machine. In this case, it is preferable that the control device controls the small bundle conveying mechanism so that only one small bundle of the same type is included in one large bundle.

  In addition, it is preferable that the large bundle creating machine has a label pasting unit for pasting a label for displaying information on small bundles included in the large bundle to one large bundle. Thereby, for example, an operator (a person in charge of processing) of a small bundle of paper sheets included in the large bundle can be easily identified.

  Preferably, the small bundle transport mechanism is provided with a sensor that detects the position of the banding paper of each small bundle being transported and a reversing mechanism that selectively reverses the direction of each small bundle being transported. It has been. Thereby, even when a small bundle is thrown into the small bundle transport mechanism in a random direction, a large bundle having an appropriate size can be created.

  According to the present invention, at least one of the ID information of each small bundle creating machine and the ID information of the worker of each small bundle creating machine is managed by the control device, for example, the same small bundle in one large bundle. It is possible to realize a control that only a small bundle created by the creating machine or the same worker is included.

At this time, the small bundle B is transported in the standing state in the first transport path 14. Further, the second conveyance path 20 is branched from a middle portion of the first conveyance path 14, and a branching portion 16 is provided at a branch point from the first conveyance path 14 to the second conveyance path 20. Is provided. Here, the branching unit 16 selectively transports the small bundle B from the first transport path 14 to the second transport depending on the type of bills constituting the small bundle B thrown out of the machine body of the small bundle creating machine 12. It is to be sent to the road 20. More specifically, the control unit (not shown) that controls the branching unit 16 includes whether the banknote constituting the small bundle B thrown out of the body of the small bundle creating machine 12 is a correct ticket or a damaged ticket. Is sent from each of the small bundle creators 12. A genuine note is a bill that can be used, and a damaged note is a bill that is not a counterfeit but has a large degree of damage and is not suitable for use. And when the banknote which comprises the small bundle B thrown out of the body of the small bundle production machine 12 is not a correct ticket but a non-conformity ticket, the said small bundle B is 2nd from the 1st conveyance path 14. Instead of being sent to the transport path 20, instead, it is transported to the stacking section 18 connected to the downstream end of the first transport path 14 and is stacked in the stacking section 18. On the other hand, when the banknote which comprises the small bundle B thrown out of the body of the small bundle production machine 12 is a regular bill, the said small bundle B branches from the 1st conveyance path 14 by the branch part 16. FIG. It is sent to the second conveyance path 20. In the 2nd conveyance path 20, the small bundle B is conveyed by the conveyance conveyor (not shown) in the state which fell sideways instead of a standing position.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the small bundle conveyance mechanism of the large bundle production system 10 includes one third conveyance path 22 that is used in common with each small bundle production machine 12, and the third bundle conveyance system 22. The small bundles B transported through the second transport paths 20 are sent to the transport path 22. The 3rd conveyance path 22 conveys the small bundle B to the left direction in FIG.

  The large bundle creating machine 90 according to the present embodiment is configured to wrap a large bundle in which a plurality of small bundles B in which a plurality of banknotes are bound together by a band-wrapping paper P are collected with a packaging sheet S. In FIG. 2, the external appearance of the large bundle packaged by the packaging sheet S is shown. In the large bundle creating machine 90 of the present embodiment, a transparent or translucent resin film or the like is used as the packaging sheet S. As shown in FIG. 2, when a large bundle is packaged with the packaging sheet S by the large bundle creating machine 90, the large bundle is packaged with the packaging sheet S without binding the large bundle in this embodiment.

  FIG. 3 shows details of the configuration of the third conveyance path 22. As shown in FIG. 3, a conveyance conveyor 22a is provided in the third conveyance path 22, and the small bundle B is conveyed in a standing state by the conveyance conveyor 22a. Although not shown in FIG. 3, the third transport path 22 is provided with a guide member for maintaining the small bundle B transported by the transport conveyor 22a in an upright state.

  Then, an imaging camera 36 as a sensor for detecting the position of the banding paper P of each small bundle B being transported, and each small bundle B being transported at a position near the downstream end in the third transport path 22. And a reversing mechanism 30 for selectively reversing the direction of. More specifically, the band seal paper P wound around the small bundle B created by each small bundle creator 12 is not at the center position of the small bundle B, but at a position slightly shifted from the central position in either the left or right direction. Is wound around a small bundle B. For this reason, when a plurality of small bundles B (for example, 10 pieces) are accumulated to create a large bundle, in order to eliminate thickness unevenness, the position of the band-wrapping paper P in the small bundle B can be adjusted by half to the left and right positions. desirable. For this reason, in order to adjust the position of the band seal paper P in the small bundle B, a reversing mechanism 30 that selectively reverses the direction of each small bundle B being conveyed is provided.

  More specifically, the reversing mechanism 30 provided in the third conveyance path 22 supports a pair of gripping arms 32 for gripping the small bundle B and each gripping arm 32 as shown in FIG. The gripping arm support part 33 and the reversing part 34 for rotating the gripping arm support part 33 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 3 about an axis extending in the vertical direction are provided.

By doing so, the small bundle B is inverted 180 degrees, and the position of the band seal paper P in the small bundle B is inverted in the left-right direction. That is, in the small bundle B before reaching the reversing mechanism 30, when the banding paper P is shifted to the left from the center position of the small bundle B, the small bundle B is reversed 180 degrees by the reversing unit 34 of the reversing mechanism 30. As a result, the position of the band seal paper P in the small bundle B after the inversion is shifted to the right from the center position of the small bundle B.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, as a sensor for detecting the position of the band seal paper P of each small bundle B being conveyed, at a location upstream from the reversing mechanism 30 in the conveyance direction of the small bundle B by the conveyance conveyor 22a, An imaging camera 36 is provided. The imaging camera 36 captures an image of the side surface of the small bundle B that is transported in a standing position by the transport conveyor 22a. With such an imaging camera 36, the position of the band-bound paper P in the small bundle B can be detected.

  When the position of the banding paper P detected by the imaging camera 36 is opposite to the desired banding position, the small bundle B is reversed by 180 degrees by the reversing unit 34 of the reversing mechanism 30. The position of the banding paper P in can be adjusted to a desired banding position. On the other hand, when the position of the banding paper P detected by the imaging camera 36 is the desired banding position as it is, it is not necessary to rotate the small bundle B 180 degrees by the reversing mechanism 30. Thereby, it is possible to easily realize the order of small bundles in which there is no bias in the thickness when forming a large bundle, for example, the order of small bundles in which the position of the banding paper P is adjusted by half (5 pieces) to the left and right positions. be able to.

Then, the large bundle conveyer 82 moves in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 14, whereby the large bundle is heated between the pair of upper and lower heating portions 81. As a result, the packaging sheet S packaging the large bundle can be thermally shrunk, and the packaging sheet S can be matched to the large bundle shape.

  In addition, after the large bundle is placed on the large bundle conveyor 82, the grip arm support portion 64 and the pair of grip arms 62 are further rotated 180 degrees around the rotation shaft 66, and the pair of grip arms 62 are directed leftward. The second grip 60 is ready to receive the next large bundle. The large bundle in which the packaging sheet S is thermally contracted by the heating unit 80 is conveyed by the large bundle conveyer 82, and a label for displaying information on the small bundle B included in the large bundle is pasted by the label pasting unit 85. In the present embodiment, as information related to the small bundle B, the ID information of the small bundle creating machine in which the small bundle B is created is displayed. The large bundle with the label attached is shipped from the large bundle production system 10 as a final product.

  A specific example of the label is shown in FIG. In this example, it is a large bundle of 1,000 yuan banknotes (pick-up yuan), the date of creation of the large bundle, the number of the small bundle creator that created the small bundle included in the large bundle (desk number), the large bundle The bank name, bar code information, and QR code (registered trademark) information that is the creation subject are displayed. In addition, the type of the ticket type (for ATM (ATM), for teller (TLR), forged ticket (UFT))) or the like may be displayed. The bar code information and QR code (registered trademark) information, in addition to these pieces of information (type of large bundle, date of creation of large bundle, etc.), large bundle sequence numbers and small bundle sequence numbers described later are recorded in a machine-readable manner. Has been.

  In the large bundle creating system 10 of the present embodiment, as described above, the four small bundle creating machines 12, the large bundle creating machine 9, and the small bundle transporting mechanisms 14, 20, 22 are four small bundle creating machines. 12 is connected to a control device 100 that manages ID information of each of the twelve. In addition, the small bundle transport mechanism has a second transport path 20 as a small bundle temporary storage unit that temporarily stores the generated small bundle for each small bundle creator 12.

  And the control apparatus 100 of this Embodiment controls the small bundle conveyance mechanisms 14, 20, and 22 so that only the small bundle produced by the same small bundle creation machine 12 is included in one large bundle. It has become. Specifically, the control device 100 drives or stops each of the first conveyance path 14 and the second conveyance path 22 corresponding to each small bundle creating machine 12 and the common third conveyance path 22. By controlling the above, ten small bundles B created by the same small bundle creator 12 are continuously conveyed to the large bundle creator 90. For example, after ten small bundles B are aligned in the second conveyance path 20, the small bundles are conveyed from the second conveyance path 20 to the third conveyance path 22. Thereby, the control that only a small bundle created by the same small bundle creator 12 is included in one large bundle is realized. Alternatively, the small bundle may be temporarily held on the third conveyance path 22 by using a known stopper mechanism.

  Moreover, according to the large bundle creating machine 90 of the large bundle creating system 10 of the present embodiment, since the large bundle is created by the packaging sheet S, a banded body such as a banded paper for bundling the large bundle is unnecessary. As a result, the running cost of the band seal can be reduced, and the process of binding a plurality of small bundles B with the band seal is not required, so that the apparatus can be miniaturized.

  Further, the large bundle creating machine 90 of the present embodiment is provided with a gripping mechanism 92 for gripping a plurality of small bundles, and the packaging sheet S in a state where the plurality of small bundles are gripped by the gripping mechanism 92. It comes to be packaged by. The gripping mechanism 92 includes a first gripping part 50 and a second gripping part 60, and a plurality of small bundles gripped by the first gripping part 50 and the second gripping part 60.

More specifically, the plurality of small bundles are gripped from the left-right direction by the first gripping portion 50, while the plurality of small bundles are gripped from the top-bottom direction by the second gripping portion 60. It has become. As a result, when a plurality of small bundles are transferred from the first grip 50 to the second grip 60, the first grip 50 and the second grip 60 interfere with each other. Can be prevented.

  Further, as described above, if the packaging sheet S is transparent or translucent, the small bundles B constituting the large bundle packaged in the packaging sheet S can be viewed from the outside. In particular, the information printed on the banding paper P in these small bundles B (for example, the ID information of the created small bundle creating machine 12 and the created date) can also be visually recognized.

  In addition, the large bundle production system by this invention is not limited to the said aspect, A various change can be added. For example, the small bundle B constituting the large bundle is not limited to the one in which a plurality of banknotes are bound by the band seal paper P. In addition, as the small bundle B constituting the large bundle, a plurality of paper sheets other than banknotes (for example, checks, gift certificates, and the like), which are bundled with a banding paper P, may be used. In addition, as a banded body for bundling a plurality of paper sheets, other than the banded paper P may be used. Moreover, the packaging sheet S for packaging a large bundle is not limited to a transparent or translucent resin film, but can be of other types (for example, paper) as long as it can reliably package a large bundle. A sheet may be used.

  Further, in the large bundle creating system according to the present invention, it is also possible to use a type of apparatus that binds a plurality of small bundles with a banded body such as a banded paper as a large bundle creating machine.

  Further, in the large bundle creation system according to the present invention, it is not necessary for the small bundle creation machine to have a function as a banknote processing machine for performing various processes such as banknote deposit processing and withdrawal processing. An apparatus that creates a small bundle B simply by accumulating a plurality of (for example, 100) banknotes and binding them with a banding paper P may be used as the small bundle creating machine. Further, the number of the small bundle creating machines 12 is not limited to four as in the above embodiment, and may be any number (one may be sufficient).

  Further, the control device 100 manages the ID information of each worker of the small bundle creating machine 12 instead of or in addition to managing each ID information of the small bundle creating machine 12.

In this case, the control device 100 preferably controls the small bundle transport mechanisms 14, 20, and 22 so that only one small bundle created by the same operator is included in one large bundle, and is attached to the large bundle. As information about the small bundle B in the label, it is preferable that the ID information of the worker who created the small bundle B is displayed.

  In such a case, at least one of the small bundle creating machines 12 prepares a banding preparation device 13 ′ that arranges banknotes in a state suitable for binding with banding paper but does not bind with banding paper instead of the banding device 13. You may have. In such a small bundle creating machine, it is necessary for the operator to supply the small bundle B to the first conveyance path 14 after manually binding the band with the band seal paper P. In such a case, variation in work quality among workers may be a problem, but if the control that only one small bundle B created by the same worker is included in one large bundle is guaranteed, the site is confused. There is no fear of doing it.

  A schematic configuration diagram of such an embodiment is shown in FIG. 16 as a second embodiment. In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 16, each of the two small bundle creating machines 12 arranges a banding device 13 that arranges a plurality of (for example, 100) banknotes into a small bundle and binds them with banding paper B.
