Description

  The present invention relates to a small bundle examination table and a large bundle binding machine.

  For example, for easy management and handling of banknotes, a small number of loose banknotes are accumulated by a predetermined unit number (100 sheets), and bundled by winding a binding tape along the short direction of the rose banknotes. A bundle of bills or a bundle of small bundles of a predetermined number of unit bundles (10 bundles) are bundled by winding a binding tape to form a large bundle. Among them, the large bundle binding machine that binds the small bundle group into a large bundle is bound to both the direction along the longitudinal direction of the small bundle banknote and the direction along the short direction of the small bundle banknote with respect to the small bundle group. Some tapes are wound, but the posture change of the small bundle group that is necessary in the middle is automatically performed, and the binding is performed automatically without manual intervention (for example, see Patent Document 1) or the posture change. There is one that binds semi-automatically by carrying out the process manually. There is also a large bundle binding machine equipped with a small bundle quantity determination function (for example, see Patent Document 2).

  In a large bundle binding machine, the confirmation that there are a predetermined number of unit bundles (10 bundles) of small bundle banknotes constituting a group of small bundles is basically based on visual confirmation by the operator. Even if the small bundle group is inserted and the bundling operation is started in the state of being erroneously counted, a large bundle is created with the small bundle group having the wrong number of bundles. In addition, in a large bundle binding machine equipped with a small bundle quantity judgment function, when the small bundle banknotes have a number other than a predetermined unit bundle number, the device stops with an error, but the inserted small bundle banknotes are taken out from the large bundle binder. Since it is necessary to visually check the quantity and then re-enter it, it takes time. Therefore, the operation | work which throws into a large bundle binding machine only the number of unit bundles for a small bundle banknote is important. However, since it is difficult to take out a small bundle of banknotes in a random manner and form a small bundle group of several unit bundles, it is necessary to confirm the quantity after taking out and is troublesome.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a small bundle examination table and a large bundle binding machine capable of facilitating the preparation of a predetermined number of small bundles of banknotes.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a predetermined number of small bundle set recesses in which small bundles of bills are placed one by one in a posture in which the stacking direction of loose bills is placed side by side. It is characterized by.

  According to the first aspect, when a small bundle of banknotes is placed one by one in a predetermined number of small bundle set recesses and all the small bundle set recesses are appropriately filled with the small bundle banknotes, the predetermined number of small bundles You can prepare without counting banknotes. That is, when there are more small bundle banknotes than the predetermined number, even if all the small bundle set recesses are filled with small bundle banknotes, the small bundle banknotes remain, and the remaining small bundle banknotes become obvious at a glance. Is less than the predetermined number, even if all the small bundle banknotes are placed in the small bundle set recesses, empty small bundle set recesses are generated, and the shortage of small bundle banknotes becomes obvious at a glance. Therefore, the user can prepare a predetermined bundle number of small bundle banknotes by an easy operation of filling all the small bundle set recesses with small bundle banknotes.

Thus, the individual set notification means provided for the small bundle set recess notifies that the small bundle banknote is placed in the small bundle set recess. Therefore, the placement situation of the small bundle banknotes in each small bundle set recess is further clarified.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect, an all-number set detection unit that detects that a small bundle of bills is placed in all the predetermined number of small bundle set recesses; And a total number set notification means for notifying the detection result of the total number set detection means.

  According to the third aspect, when the small bundle banknotes are placed in all the predetermined number of small bundle set recesses, the entire set detection means has placed the small bundle banknotes in all the predetermined number of small bundle set recesses. Thus, it is detected that there is a state, so that all the set notification means notifies that a small bundle of bills is placed in a predetermined number of all the small bundle set recesses. Therefore, it becomes even clearer whether the small bundle banknotes are placed in all the small bundle set recesses.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to third aspects, the small bundle set recess has one longitudinal end opened along the longitudinal direction, and the longitudinal length is small. It is characterized by being shorter than the length of a bundle of banknotes in the longitudinal direction.

  According to the fourth aspect, when the small bundle banknote is placed in the small bundle set recess whose longitudinal length is shorter than the longitudinal length of the small bundle banknote, the small bundle banknote is the length of the small bundle set recess. A part comes out from the opening on one end side in the direction. Thus, for example, a small bundle of banknotes that are bound and restrained from spreading in the stacking direction even if the side opposite to the binding side by the binding tape is spread in the stacking direction. Placement in the set recess and disposing the side spreading in the stacking direction outside the small bundle set recess facilitates placement in the small bundle set recess.

The ten set detection sensors 35 provided in the same number as the small bundle setting recesses 16 are provided at positions equidistant from the front wall surface 21 of the bottom 18 of the small bundle setting recess 16. Here, in the small bundle setting recess 16, the setting direction of the small bundle banknote K is such that the small band t is in front of the user, that is, the front surface 13 side, and the small bundle banknote K comes into contact with the front wall surface 21. It is ruled to set. Then, the set detection sensor 35 is placed in accordance with this rule, so that it is provided at a position overlapping the small band t arranged at a fixed position from the front wall surface 21 as shown in FIG. The presence or absence of the small banknotes K is detected. The set detection sensor 35 is a reflection type optical sensor that detects the presence or absence of the small band t based on the presence or absence of light emission and the presence or absence of external light (illumination light) at the place where the small bundle examination table 5 is installed (light reception state or A light receiving type optical sensor that detects the amount of light received or the amount of light received, a switch that is turned on when the weight of the small bundle bill K is transmitted through the small band t, and the like are employed.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the LED lamps 31 provided for each of the small bundle setting concave portions 16 are set detection sensors 35 provided for the respective small bundle setting concave portions 16 as shown in FIG. It is linked with. The LED lamp 31 and the set detection sensor 35 provided for each of the small bundle setting recesses 16 are in the same small bundle set as the set detection sensor 35 when the set detection sensor 35 detects the small bundle banknote K. While the LED lamp 31 provided for the recess 16 is turned on to notify that the small bundle banknote K is placed in the small bundle set recess 16, the set detection sensor 35 receives the small bundle banknote. In a state where K is not detected, the LED lamp 31 provided for the same small bundle setting recess 16 as the set detection sensor 35 is turned off, and the small bundle banknote K is placed in the small bundle setting recess 16. Notify that there is not. Therefore, for each of the small bundle set recesses 16, a set detection sensor 35 that detects the placed small bundle banknote K, and an LED lamp 31 that performs notification when the set detection sensor 35 detects the small bundle banknote K. And are provided.

  Specifically, when the set detection sensor 35 provided on the bottom portion 18 of the small bundle set recess 16 detects that the small bundle banknote K is placed in the leftmost small bundle set recess 16, The leftmost LED lamp 31 labeled “1” provided for the small bundle setting recess 16 is turned on. When the set detection sensor 35 provided on the bottom 18 of the small bundle setting recess 16 detects that the small bundle banknote K is placed in the second small bundle setting recess 16 from the left, the small bundle The second LED lamp 31 labeled “2” provided from the left provided for the set recess 16 is turned on. Similarly, when a small bundle banknote K is placed in the third bundle set recess 16 from the left, the LED lamp 31 labeled “3” is lit, and the small bundle set recess 16 from the left is small. When the banknote K is placed, the LED lamp 31 labeled “4” is turned on, and when the banknote K is placed in the fifth bundle setting recess 16 from the left, the LED labeled “5” is displayed. When the lamp 31 is lit and the small bundle banknote K is placed in the sixth small bundle set recess 16 from the left, the LED lamp 31 labeled “6” is lit, and the seventh small bundle set recess 16 from the left. When the small bundle banknote K is placed on the LED lamp 31 labeled “7” is lit, and when the small bundle banknote K is loaded in the eighth small bundle set recess 16 from the left, “8” is represented. LED lamp 31 is lit, and when a small bundle banknote K is placed in the ninth small bundle set recess 16 from the left, Serial LED lamp 31 is lit, the LED lamp 31 of the representation of the small bundles banknotes K to 10 th from the left that is the most right small bundle set recess 16 is placed "10" is illuminated.

  The small bundle examination table 5 is provided with a sound generation unit 38 (total number set notification means) for generating sound on the front surface 13 side of the upper surface 12. When all the set detection sensors 35 detect the small bundle banknote K at the same time, the voice generation unit 38 performs notification by voice, for example, while any one of the set detection sensors 35 does not detect the small bundle banknote K. In the state, there is no notification by voice. That is, the fact that all the set detection sensors 35 simultaneously detect the small bundle banknotes K is detection that the small bundle banknotes K are placed in all the small bundle set recesses 16, and when this is detected. The sound generating unit 38 informs the user that the small bundle banknotes K are placed in all the small bundle set recesses 16, that is, that the setting of the 10 bundles of small bundle banknotes K has been completed. Generate sound.

  Further, when all the set detection sensors 35 simultaneously detect the small banknotes K, all the LED lamps 31 labeled “1” to “10” are lit, and thus all the LED lamps 31 are lit. Thus, the user is in a state where the small bundle banknotes K are placed in all the small bundle set concave portions 16, that is, the setting of the ten bundles of small bundle banknotes K into the small bundle set concave portion 16 is completed. Visually notify.

  Therefore, the small bundle examination table 5 includes a set detection sensor 35 that detects that the small bundle banknotes K are placed in all the small bundle set recesses 16 having the same number as the unit bundle, and the number of unit bundles. The LED lamp 31 and the sound generation unit 38 for notifying when all the set detection sensors 35 detect that the small bundle bills K are placed in all the same small number of small bundle set recesses 16. doing. Therefore, the user can intuitively confirm the completion of setting of the 10 small bundle banknotes K in the small bundle setting recess 16 with his eyes and ears.

  In addition, only when all the set detection sensors 35 detect the small bundle banknote K simultaneously, it does not restrict to notifying only the completion of the setting of the small bundle banknote K, but for all bundle numbers, for example, 10 bundles. Only when the number of bundles to be deficient is limited, such as 8 bundles or 9 bundles, the voice generation unit 38 performs a voice notification to call attention such as “It seems that one or two bundles are few”. It can also be made.

  The small bundle examination table 5 is communicably connected to the large bundle binding machine 1 shown in FIG. 1, and from the state where any set detection sensor 35 does not detect the small bundle bill K, all the set detection sensors 35 are simultaneously connected. When the small bundle banknote K is detected, all detection signals to that effect are transmitted to the large bundle binding machine 1. When the small bundle examination table 5 is in a state where all the set detection sensors 35 do not detect the small bundle banknote K at the same time from the state where all the set detection sensors 35 simultaneously detect the small bundle banknote K, no detection signal indicating that. Is transmitted to the large bundle binding machine 1.

  According to the small bundle examination table 5 described above, as shown in FIG. 6, the small bundle banknotes K are placed one by one in the ten small bundle set recessed portions 16, and all the small bundle set recessed portions 16 are placed. If it is properly filled with small bundles of banknotes K, it can be prepared without counting 10 bundles of small bundles of banknotes K. That is, when a user prepares approximately 10 bundles of small bundle banknotes K and sets them in the small bundle set recesses 16 one by one, if there are more than 10 bundles of small bundle banknotes K, all the small bundle set recesses 16 are removed. Even if it is filled with the small bundle banknotes K, the small bundle banknotes K are left over, and the remaining small bundle banknotes K become clear at a glance and are immediately noticed. At that time, the small bundle banknote K not placed in the small bundle set recess 16 abuts on the wide portion 28 of the upper surface 12 as shown in FIG. It becomes clear at a glance that it is not placed in the small bundle set recess 16. In addition, when the number of small bundle banknotes K is less than 10, even if all the small bundle banknotes K are placed in the small bundle set recessed portion 16, an empty small bundle set recessed portion 16 is generated, and the short bundle banknote K is insufficient. It will be obvious and immediately noticed. Therefore, the user can easily fill the small bundle set recesses 16 with the small bundle banknotes K without placing the small bundle banknotes K on the small bundle examination table 5 other than the small bundle set recesses 16. Thus, it is possible to prepare without counting 10 bundles of small banknotes K.

  In addition, since the numbers “1” to “10” are displayed on the LED lamps 31 provided for each of the ten small bundle setting recesses 16, the set quantity of the small bundle banknotes K is visually intuitive. Can be judged.

  Further, when the small bundle banknote K is placed in the small bundle set recess 16, the set detection sensor 35 provided for the small bundle set recess 16 detects the small bundle banknote K. The LED lamp 31 provided for the small bundle set recess 16 is turned on to notify that the small bundle banknote K is placed in the small bundle set recess 16. Thereby, the mounting condition of the small bundle banknote K of each small bundle set recessed part 16 becomes still clearer.

  Further, when the small bundle banknotes K are placed in all the 10 small bundle set recesses 16, the set detection sensors 35 of 10 places the small bundle banknotes K in the 10 small bundle set recesses 16. In this state, all 10 LED lamps 31 are turned on, and the sound generation unit 38 generates sound, and the small bundle banknotes K are placed in all 10 small bundle set recesses 16. Is in a state of being placed. This makes it even clearer whether the small bundle banknotes K are placed in all ten small bundle set recesses 16.

  Here, in the small bundle examination stand 5 of the first embodiment, the set detection sensor 35 may be provided on the front wall portion 20 of the small bundle setting recess 16 as in the modification shown in FIG. The set detection sensor 35 is a reflection type optical sensor, and when the small bundle bill K is pressed against the front wall portion 20 of the small bundle setting recess 16 and set, the outside light (illumination light) is blocked or the received light amount is small. Even if it is a switch which detects the set of the small bundle banknote K by detecting the movement of the optical sensor which detects the set of the small bundle banknote K, or the operation piece that moves slightly when pressed. good.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the wide portion 28 of the upper surface 12 may be inclined so as to become lower as the distance from the small bundle setting recess 16 increases. In this case, the small bundle banknote K placed on the wide portion 28 can be defeated or dropped from the small bundle examination table 5, and it is more visually recognized that it is not placed on the small bundle set recess 16. It becomes easy.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the bottom surface 19 of the bottom portion 18 of the small bundle setting recess 16 may be inclined so that the height decreases toward the front surface 13 side. As a result, the small bundle banknotes K placed in the small bundle setting recess 16 can be abutted against the front wall surface 21 by the inclination of the bottom surface 19. If it does in this way, especially when the set detection sensor 35 is provided in the front wall part 20 of the small bundle setting recessed part 16, the detection accuracy of the small bundle banknote K can be improved.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, instead of the set detection sensor 35 of the small bundle examination table 5, small small portions are formed on the front wall portion 20 side and the rear wall portion 22 side of the respective bottom portions 18 of the small bundle setting recesses 16. You may provide the area sensor 51 which can detect the front-back direction position of the front end part of the bundle banknote K, and the front-back direction position of a rear end part. Thereby, in all the small bundle set recessed parts 16, the length of the set small bundle banknote K is detectable. Then, when a small bundle banknote K having a different length from the other is detected in all the small bundle set recesses 16, that is, when mixing of a small bundle banknote K of a different denomination is detected, all the LED lamps 31 blink. Notification is performed by flashing only the LED lamp 31 corresponding to the small bundle banknote K of the different denominations and the detected small bundle set recess 16 or by generating an alarm sound by the sound generator 38. In this case, the area sensor 51 on the front wall portion 20 side is not necessarily an area sensor, and may be a switch that detects that the small bundle bill K is in contact with the front wall surface 21.

  The large bundle binding machine 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a large bundle binding machine body 2 and the small bundle binding machine body 5 described above, and the large bundle binding machine body 2 has a small bundle on the left side of the small bundle binding machine base 5. There is provided an opening 6 into which 10 bundles of small banknotes K prepared using the examination table 5 are inserted.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the large bundle binding machine body 2 is provided with a shutter 101 that can open and close the opening 6. In addition, the large bundle binding machine body 2 is provided with a rectangular peripheral wall portion 102 in a plan view vertically aligned with the peripheral portion of the opening 6 in the horizontal direction, and inside the peripheral wall portion 102. A liftable elevator 103 is horizontally disposed so as to close the surrounding wall 102. As shown in FIG. 13, when the shutter 101 is opened, the opening 6, the peripheral wall 102, and the elevator 103 have a rectangular opening 6 on the upper surface 3 and are recessed downward and the bottom can be raised and lowered. A bundling set unit 104 composed of a simple elevator 103 is configured. The bundling set unit 104 is provided with a presence / absence detection sensor 105 that detects whether the bundling set unit 104 has a small bundle of bills K or the like.

  The peripheral wall portion 102 includes a fixed wall portion 111 whose upper position is fixed, and a lower movable wall portion 112 that moves up and down as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14. As shown in FIG. 13, a bundling portion 115 is provided so as to surround the periphery of the upper portion of the movable wall portion 112 in a state where the movable wall portion 112 rises to the upper end position and is closest to the fixed wall portion 111 as shown in FIG. 13. . On the lower side of the elevator 103, as shown in FIG. 15, a posture changing mechanism 116 for projecting the posture changing member 117 upward from the elevator 103 and retracting the posture changing member 117 downward from the elevator 103 is provided. The large bundle binding machine main body 2 is provided with a control unit 120 (control means) shown in FIG.

  When the large bundle binding machine main body 2 is in the standby state, as shown in FIG. 12, the shutter 101 is closed and the elevator 103 is positioned at the upper end position. When in this standby state, all detection signals indicating that any set detection sensor 35 has detected a small bundle banknote K from a state in which any set detection sensor 35 does not detect the small bundle banknote K are sent. When receiving from the small bundle examination table 5, the control unit 120 opens the shutter 101. In other words, when the control unit 120 detects that all the set detection sensors 35 of the small bundle examination table 5 are in a state where the small bundle banknotes K are placed in all ten small bundle set recesses 16, the control unit 120 moves the shutter 101. open.

  On the other hand, the control unit 120 does not open the shutter 101 unless it receives all the detection signals from the small bundle examination table 5. In other words, the control unit 120 must detect that the small bundle banknotes K are placed in all the small bundle set recesses 16 of the small bundle examination table 5 by all the set detection sensors 35. In this case, the shutter 101 is not opened.

  When the shutter 101 is opened, the user can put a bundle of ten bundles of small bundles K in a state of being placed one by one in all ten bundle bundle recesses 16 on the small bundle examination stand 5 or Pulling out several bundles from the small bundle setting recess 16 and moving them to the left without changing the posture and inserting them into the binding set section 104 of the large bundle binding machine main body 2, the binding set as shown in FIG. Set in the unit 104. Alternatively, a total of 10 bundles of small banknotes K are simultaneously pulled out from the small bundle setting recess 16, moved to the left without changing the posture, and inserted into the binding set unit 104. In other words, ten bundles of banknotes K are collectively set in the binding set unit 104.

  As a result, ten bundles of banknotes K, which is a predetermined number of unit bundles constituting one large bundle, are inserted into the binding set section 104 and placed on the elevator 103 at the upper end position. Will be. At that time, 10 bundles of small banknotes K are set with the short side direction being the vertical direction, the long side direction being front and back, and the stacking direction being left and right. At this time, ten bundles of banknotes K placed on the elevator 103 at the upper end position partially protrude from the opening 6.

  When all ten bundles of small bundle banknotes K are taken out from the small bundle banknote table 5, the small bundle banknoteboard 5 transmits a no-detection signal indicating that none of the set detection sensors 35 has detected the small bundle banknote K. Therefore, when the detection non-signal is received and the presence / absence detection sensor 105 detects that the small bundle bill K is in the binding set unit 104, the control unit 120 adds 10 to the binding set unit 104. It is determined that a small bundle of banknotes K has been set, and a start operation to the operation unit 8 is permitted. In this state, when a start operation is input to the operation unit 8 by the user, the control unit 120 lowers the elevator 103 to a predetermined intermediate position. At the same time, the shutter 101 is closed and moved. The wall 112 is lowered to the lower end position. In a state where the movable wall portion 112 is lowered to the lower end position, as shown in FIG. 14, a gap is formed between the fixed wall portion 111 and the movable wall portion 112 so that the height matches the binding portion 115.

  Next, the control unit 120 operates the bundle pressing unit 114 to press ten bundles of small banknotes K, and operates the binding unit 115 in this state. Then, the binding unit 115 is arranged so that the ten bundles of bills K on the elevator 103 are along the longitudinal direction and the stacking direction of the bundles of bills K through the gap between the fixed wall portion 111 and the movable wall portion 112. After winding the binding tape, the binding tape is bonded while being cut into a large band T1 shown in FIG. Thereby, 10 bundles of small bundle banknotes K which are the number of unit bundles are integrated together. Next, the control unit 120 raises the movable wall portion 112 to the upper end position, lowers the elevator 103 to a predetermined lower end position, and then operates the posture changing mechanism 116. Then, as shown in FIG. 15, the posture changing mechanism 116 causes the posture changing member 117 to protrude upward from the elevator 103, and the ten bundles of small bundles K bundled together by the large belt T <b> 1 Stand so that the longitudinal direction is up and down.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 16, after the movable wall portion 112 is lowered to the lower end position, the bundle presser portion 114 is operated to hold the ten bundles of small banknotes K, and the binding portion 115 is operated in this state. . Then, the binding unit 115 is connected to the ten bundles of small bundles K on the elevator 103 which are integrated together by the large band T1 via the gap between the fixed wall 111 and the movable wall 112. After winding the binding tape along the short side direction and the stacking direction of K, the binding tape is bonded while being cut into a large band T2 shown in FIG. In this way, the large bundle binding machine main body 2 integrates the ten small bundle banknotes K, which is the number of unit bundles, into a large bundle O by two orthogonal large bands T1 and T2.

  Thereafter, the control unit 120 raises the movable wall 112 to the upper end position, opens the shutter 101, and moves the elevator 103 to the upper end position. Accordingly, the large bundle O protrudes upward from the opening 6, and the user takes it out from the binding set portion 104. When the presence / absence detection sensor 105 detects that the large bundle O has been taken out from the binding set unit 104, the control unit 120 opens the shutter 101 if it receives all the next detection signals from the small bundle examination table 5. As it is, the next 10 bundles of small bundle bills K are awaited to be set from the small bundle examination table 5 to the binding set section 104. On the other hand, if all the detection signals are not received from the small bundle examination table 5, the shutter 101 is closed and the standby state is restored.

  The elevator 103, the movable wall portion 112, the bundle pressing portion 114, and the bundling portion 115 are bundled into a large bundle by bundling 10 small bundles of bills K, which is the unit bundle number set in the bundling set portion 104, with a bundling tape. A mechanism 118 is configured. As described above, if the control unit 120 does not receive all the detection signals from the small bundle examination table 5, the control unit 120 does not open the shutter 101 and restricts the execution of the binding operation by the large bundle binding mechanism 118. In other words, the control unit 120 confirms that the small bundle banknotes K are placed in all the ten small bundle set recesses 16 of the small bundle examination table 5 based on the detection results of all the set detection sensors 35. If not detected, the shutter 101 is not opened, and execution of the bundling operation by the large bundling mechanism 118 is restricted.

  According to the large bundle binding machine 1 described above, the small bundle banknotes K are placed one by one in the small bundle set concave portions 16 of the ten small bundle examination tables 5, and the small bundle set concave portions 16 of all the ten locations are small. If it is properly filled with bundled banknotes K, it can be prepared without counting 10 bundled banknotes K. Then, when 10 bundles of the small bundle banknotes K prepared as described above are set together in the binding set unit 104, the large bundle binding mechanism 118 binds these small bundle banknotes K with a binding tape to form a large bundle O. . Accordingly, ten bundles of small banknotes K can be easily prepared and bound.

  Further, when the small bundle banknotes K are placed in all ten small bundle set recesses 16 of the small bundle examination table main body 15, this is detected by all the set detection sensors 35 detecting the small bundle banknotes K. However, if it is not detected that the small bundle banknotes K are placed in all the ten small bundle set recesses 16 in this way, in other words, the small bundle set concave portion 16 is small. When it is not detected that the bundled banknote K is placed, the control unit 120 regulates the execution of the binding operation by the large bundle binding mechanism 118. Therefore, it can suppress that the small bundle banknote K of the wrong bundle number is bundled, and becomes the large bundle O.

  The small bundle examination table 5 may be integrated with the large bundle binding machine main body 2 so as not to be removable, or may be detachably attached to the large bundle binding machine main body 2. Alternatively, the large bundle binding machine main body 2 may be simply placed on the empty space on the upper surface 3 for use. In either case, the small bundle examination table 5 may be configured not to communicate with the large bundle binding machine body 2.

  Further, on the upper surface 3 of the large bundle binding machine main body 2, separately from the small bundle examination table 5, a placement table on which a small bundle banknote K before being set on the small bundle examination table 5 and a large bundle O after binding can be placed. May be provided.

  Further, when the large bundle binding machine main body 2 does not include the shutter 101, the control unit 120 detects that all the small bundle bills K are placed in all the ten small bundle setting recesses 16 and detects all the sets. When it is not detected from the detection result of the sensor 35, in other words, any set detection sensor 35 has not detected that the small bundle banknote K is placed in any small bundle set recess 16. In this case, even if the small bundle banknote K is set in the binding set unit 104, the execution of the binding operation by the large bundle binding mechanism 118 starting from the lowering of the elevator 103 is restricted.

“Second Embodiment”
A second embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 to 21 focusing on differences from the first embodiment.

  In the second embodiment, the small bundle examination table 5 is partially different from the first embodiment.

  In the small bundle examination table 5 of the second embodiment, the lengths in the longitudinal direction of all the small bundle set recesses 16 are shorter than the longitudinal length of the shortest bundle of bills K, and one end in the longitudinal direction is opened along the longitudinal direction. doing. The rear side of the small bundle setting recess 16 is a mounting table portion 62 having an upper surface 61 that is continuous with the bottom surface 19 of the small bundle setting recess 16 and is flush with the bottom surface 19. The total length of the bottom surface 19 and the top surface 61 is longer than the length of the small bundle banknote K having the longest length in the longitudinal direction. Specifically, the length in the longitudinal direction of the small bundle setting recess 16 is set to 80 mm, which is half of the length in the longitudinal direction of the 10,000 yen ticket having the longest longitudinal length, which is 160 mm. The combined length is longer than 160 mm, which is the length in the longitudinal direction of the 10,000 yen ticket having the longest length in the longitudinal direction, and is set to 170 mm, for example.

  According to 2nd Embodiment, when the small bundle banknote K is mounted in the small bundle set recessed part 16 whose longitudinal direction length is shorter than the longitudinal direction length of the small bundle banknote K, the small bundle banknote K will be a small bundle set. A part of the recess 16 protrudes from the opening on one end side in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 20, even if it is a small bundle banknote K of a circulation ticket and the side opposite to the side bound by the band t of the binding tape is spread in the stacking direction, it is bound. By placing the small band t side, in which the spreading in the stacking direction is suppressed, in the small bundle setting recess 16 and placing the side spreading in the stacking direction on the mounting table 62 outside the small bundle setting recess 16 Placement in the small bundle set recess 16 is facilitated.

  In addition, in the small bundle examination stand 5 of 2nd Embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, it is also possible to eliminate the mounting base part 62. FIG.
