Next, a process in which the paper leaf processing system 1 configured as described above creates a ten-bundle PB will be described. Before processing by the paper leaf processing system 1, the worker sets the ticket type of the banknote to be processed today using the management device 100 (10,000 yen is given as an example in the following explanation) and the like. do. In the present embodiment, the case of setting the ticket type of the banknote to be processed on a daily basis will be described, but the present invention is not limited to this. After the worker inserts the bill P into the insertion slot 201 of the inspection device 200, the following processing is started by operating the management device 100.

9 and 10 are flowcharts showing an example of processing of the inspection device 200. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of a process of creating a 100-sheet seal, and FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of a process of creating a 1000-sheet seal PA.

As shown in FIG. 9, the control unit 210 of the inspection device 200 takes in the bill P (ST101). As a result, the banknotes P are taken in one by one from the insertion slot 201 and transported to the inspection device 200. The control unit 210 inspects the bill P passing through the inspection unit 230 (ST102). More specifically, the control unit 210 receives the information of the banknote P using the information acquired by the plurality of sensors 231 and determines whether the bill is correct or false, and sets the inspection result in association with the serial number. Store in 210. Next, the control unit 210 conveys the banknotes satisfying the predetermined criteria to the corresponding first sealing unit 240 (ST103). Banknotes that do not meet the predetermined criteria are excluded.

Next, the control unit 210 determines whether or not 100 banknotes P are stored in the first sealing unit 240 (ST104). If the control unit 210 does not determine that 100 banknotes P have been stored (ST104: NO), the process returns to the process of step ST101. On the other hand, when it is determined that 100 banknotes P have been stored (ST104: YES), the control unit 210 controls the first sealing unit 240 and seals the 100 banknotes P (ST105). As a result, a 100-sheet seal is created. The control unit 210 conveys the 100-sheet seal thus created to the second sealing unit 250 (ST106). Then, the processes of the next steps ST101 to ST106 are executed. In this way, 100 sheets of banknote P are sequentially created.

As shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 210 collects 100 sheets of seals conveyed from the first sealing unit 240 at a predetermined position (ST201). Next, the control unit 210 determines whether or not 10 bundles of 100 sheets are stacked (ST202). When the control unit determines that 10 bundles are not accumulated (ST202: NO), the process returns to step ST201.

On the other hand, when it is determined that 10 bundles of 100 sheets are accumulated (ST202: YES), the control unit 210 seals 10 sheets of 100 sheets (ST203). As a result, 10 100-sheet seals are sealed by the horizontal band M1 and the vertical band M2, and a 1000-sheet seal PA is created. Next, the control unit 210 assigns a thousand-sheet seal ID to the intersection of the horizontal band M1 and the vertical band M2 on the upper surface of the thousand-sheet seal PA (ST204). Specifically, a thousand-sheet seal ID is printed on the relevant portion.

Next, the control unit 210 associates the 1000-sheet seal ID with the serial number of the banknote P included in the 1000-sheet seal to which the 1000-sheet seal ID is given, and transmits the serial number to the management device 100 (ST205). FIG. 11 shows an example of the correspondence information T1 in which the 1000-sheet sealed IDT11 and the serial number T12 are associated with each other. The correspondence information T1 is transmitted from the inspection device 200 to the management device 100, and is stored as the correspondence information T1 in the storage unit 120 of the management device 100. The control unit 210 also transmits the inspection result (inspection result information) stored in association with the serial number to the management device 100 together with the correspondence information T1, and the inspection result is also stored in association with the serial number in the storage unit 120. You may memorize it in. Next, the control unit 210 conveys the created thousand-sheet sealed PA to the transfer device 300 (ST206).

Next, the transfer process of the transfer device 300 will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of a transfer process of the thousand-sheet sealed PA executed by the control unit 310 of the transfer device 300.
As shown in FIG. 12, the control unit 310 conveys the 1000-sheet sealed PA conveyed from the inspection device 200 to the rotating unit 330 (ST301), and when it is conveyed to the rotating unit 330, the rotating unit 330 rotates the rotating unit 330 by 90 degrees (ST301). ST302). As a result, the orientation of the 1000-sheet sealed PA changes by 90 degrees. After changing the orientation of the 1000-sheet PA in this way, the 1000-sheet PA is conveyed to the end (ST303). Then, the control unit 310 conveys the thousand-sheet sealed PA transported to the end portion to the packaging device 400 (ST304).

Next, the packaging process of the packaging device 400 will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of a packaging process executed by the control unit 410 of the packaging device 400.

As shown in FIG. 13, the control unit 410 executes the inspection confirmation process (ST401). The control unit 410 controls the inspected processing unit 430 to check whether or not the 1,000-sheet sealed pA transported from the transfer device 300 has been inspected. At this time, the 1000-sheet seal ID printed on the band of the 1000-sheet seal PA is acquired. Next, the control unit 410 stamps the 1000-sheet sealed PA confirmed to have been inspected (ST402), and conveys the stamped 1000-sheet PA to the accumulating unit 450 (ST403). Next, the control unit 410 determines whether or not 10 bundles of 1000-sheet sealed PAs have been accumulated (ST404). When the control unit 410 determines that 10 bundles are not accumulated (ST404: NO), the process returns to step ST401, and the above-described processing is executed until 10 bundles are accumulated.

On the other hand, when it is determined that 10 bundles have been accumulated (ST404: YES), the control unit 410 controls the packaging unit 460 to wrap 10 bundles of 1000-sheet sealed PA (ST405). As a result, a ten-bundle PB containing ten thousand-sheet seals is created. Next, the control unit 410 attaches the ten-bundle ID label L to the ten-bundle PB (ST406). Then, the control unit 410 corresponds between the ten-bundle ID printed on the ten-bundle ID label L and the thousand-sheet seal ID of the thousand-sheet seal PA included in the ten-bundle seal PB to which the ten-bundle seal ID is affixed. It is attached and stored in the control unit 410 (ST407).

Next, the control unit 410 conveys the ten-bundle sealed PB to the rotating unit 480 (ST408). Information about the ten-bundle sealed PB conveyed to the rotating unit 480 is displayed on the display / operation unit 490. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen 500 displaying information regarding the ten-bundle sealed PB. Here, an example of the display screen 500 shown in FIG. 14 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 14, on the display screen 500, in the order of the numbers 501 that reached the rotating portion 480, the seal creation time 502, the set 503, the correct loss / inspection 504, the ticket type 505, the 1000-sheet seal ID 506, the operation 507, In addition to the field with an operating time of 508, spare fields 509 and 510 are displayed.

The seal creation time 502 is the time when the ten-bundle seal PB is created. The set 503 is a set of ten bundled PBs composed of a predetermined number. The predetermined number can be set arbitrarily. The positive loss / inspection 504 is an attribute of the banknote P included in the ten-bundle PB, which indicates whether the banknote P included in the ten-bundle PB is a regular ticket, a loss ticket, or an inspected ticket. be. In this embodiment, the issuer has been inspected to wrap an unused ticket. The ticket type 505 is a type of banknote P, and in the present embodiment, it is a ticket of 10,000 yen. The 1000-sheet seal ID 506 is an ID printed on the 10-bundle seal ID label L affixed to the 1000-sheet seal PA. In operation 507, whether it has been received or has been broken is input. "Received" indicates that the ten-bundle PB is loaded on a pallet trolley and managed in a safe after the worker visually confirms that the ten-bundle PB is in a normal state. "Breaked" indicates that the package is a ten-bundle PB that has to be repackaged after the work committee has visually confirmed that the packaging is not in a normal state. The operation time 508 is the time when the warehousing or the unsealed is input. The information displayed on the display screen 500 is not limited to these, and other information may be displayed together. In this case, other information may be displayed in the spare XXX509,510 fields on the display screen 500.

For example, number 1 has "9:10" as the seal creation time, "2" as the set, "inspected" as the correct loss / inspection, "E10,000" as the ticket type, and ten bundles. The seal ID is associated with "6708211122223", the operation is associated with "stocked", and the operation time is associated with "10:10: 00", ....

Further, on the display screen 500, a barcode selection button 520, a 100 seal selection button 521, a full seal selection button 522, a full seal selection release button 523, an operation cancel button 524, a rupture button 525, and a warehousing button 526 are displayed. ing. The barcode selection button 520 is a button for reading a barcode from the ten-bundle ID label L and selecting a field of the ten-bundle ID indicated by the barcode. The 100-seal selection button 521 and the full-sealing selection button 522 are buttons for selecting 100-seal and full-sealing, respectively. In this way, it is possible to select 100 seals or all seals at once without reading the ten-bundle PB label L one by one. The full seal selection release button 523 is a button for canceling the selection when the full seal is selected. The operation cancel button 524 is a button for canceling the operation performed by the worker. The rupture button 525 is a button that is input when repackaging the ten-bundle PB selected by the barcode unit 495. The warehousing button 526 is a button that is input when the ten-bundle seal selected by the barcode unit 495 is warehousing in the safe. As described above, the display screen 500 is configured to easily perform operations such as selection of the ten-bundle sealed PB and redoing. Therefore, the worker can confirm the information of the ten-bundle PB according to the work.

Here, the explanation returns to the explanation of the flowchart of FIG.
With the barcode selection button 520 being input on the display screen 500, the worker applies the barcode L of the ten-bundle seal ID label L affixed to the ten-bundle seal PB conveyed to the rotating portion 480 to the barcode portion 495. When read by the reading device, the field associated with the barcode corresponding to the barcode on the display screen 500 is highlighted, for example. Management of the ten-bundle PB in order to match the information of the ten-bundle PB automatically registered in the packaging device 400 with the information read by the bar code unit 295 from the ten-bundle ID label by the worker. Can be done accurately. The worker visually confirms whether the state of the ten-bundle sealed PB on the rotating portion 480 is normal or abnormal. Then, the worker inputs the warehousing button 426 when it is confirmed that it is normal, and the rupture button 425 when it is abnormal. The control unit 410 receives the input of the worker and determines whether or not the packaging state of the ten-bundle PB is normal (ST411). The control unit 410 determines that it is normal when the warehousing button 426 is input, and determines that it is not normal when the rupture button 425 is input.

When it is determined that the state of the ten-bundle PB is normal (ST411: YES), the control unit 410 transmits the ten-bundle ID and the content information to the management device 100 (ST412). Here, the content information is information about the ten-bundle PB associated with the ten-bundle ID. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of the content information T2 associated with the ten-bundle seal ID. As shown in FIG. 15, the ten-bundle sealed IDT21 is associated with the creation time T22, the type T23, the ticket type T24, and the thousand-sheet sealed IDT25 as content information. Therefore, 100 of these pieces of information are transmitted to the management device and stored in the storage unit 120 of the management device 100. In addition to the operation and the operation time, the content information may include other information (see: FIG. 14). Further, for example, a worker who visually confirms the ten-bundle PB may include the ID in the content information when it is specified to perform the visual confirmation after registering his / her own ID. In this way, it becomes possible to identify the worker who visually confirmed the ten-bundle sealed PB. Next, the control unit 410 operates the transport unit 420 to transport the ten-bundle sealed PB in the first direction (ST413). The worker picks up the ten-bundle PB from the transport unit 420 and loads the ten-bundle PB on the pallet.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the packaging state of the ten-bundle PB is not normal (ST411: NO), the control unit 410 rotates the rotating unit 480 (ST414) and conveys the ten-bundle PB in the second direction (ST411: NO). ST415). The worker picks up the ten-bundle PB from the transport unit 420, breaks the ten-bundle PB, repeats the above-mentioned processing for the banknote P included in the ten-bundle PB, and repeats the above-mentioned processing, and a new ten-bundle PB. To create.

FIG. 16 is a diagram for schematically explaining a process of creating a ten-bundle sealed PB in the paper leaf processing system 1. As shown in FIG. 16, when the bill P is inserted into the inspection device 200, the inspection device 200 creates a 100-sheet sealed PC with 100 bills, and further creates a 1000-sheet sealed PA with 10 100-sheet seals. Created. When the 1000-sheet sealed PA is conveyed to the transport device 300 with the lateral direction in the traveling direction, the direction of the 1000-sheet sealed PA is rotated by 90 degrees by the rotating unit 330. Then, when the 1000-sheet sealed PA is conveyed in the transport device 300 with the lateral direction in the traveling direction and reaches the end on the packaging device 400 side, this time, the 1000-sheet sealed PB is in the longitudinal direction in the traveling direction and the packaging device. Transported to 400. Ten thousand-sheet sealed PBs conveyed in this way are collected in the packaging device 400, then packaged by the packaging unit 460, and the ten-bundle ID label L is affixed. In this way, a ten-bundle PB is created.

According to the paper leaf processing system 1 configured as described above, the inspection device 200 for creating a thousand-sheet PA from 100 sheets, the transport device 300 for transporting the 1,000-sheet PA, and the transport device 300 are used for transporting. Ten thousand-sheet PAs are accumulated, the accumulated ten thousand-sheet PAs are packaged in the packaging unit 460, and the ten-bundle ID that identifies the ten-bundle PB is placed on the packaged 1,000-sheet PB. A packaging device 400 for attaching the label L and a packaging device 400 are provided. Therefore, since the paper leaf processing system 1 can automatically transport the 1000-sheet sealed PB from the inspection device 200 to the packaging device 400, the labor of the worker when packaging the 1000-sheet sealed PA with the packaging device 400. Can be reduced.

Further, the management device 100 manages the 1000-sheet seal ID that identifies the 1000-sheet seal PA in association with the 10-bundle seal ID. For this reason, the paper leaf processing system 1 creates a 100-sheet seal by the first sealing unit 240, further creates a 1000-sheet seal PA by the second sealing unit 250, and makes it possible to identify the ten-bundle PB. In addition, it is possible to manage the information for identifying the thousand-sheet seal included in the ten-bundle seal PB. Therefore, the management ability of the paper leaf processing system 1 can be improved.

Further, the management device 100 manages the 1000-sheet sealing ID from the inspection device 200 and the serial number of the bill P included in the 1000-sheet sealing PA identified by the 1000-sheet sealing ID. Therefore, the management device 100 can manage the serial number of the banknote P included in the ten-bundle PB in addition to the correspondence between the ten-bundle PB and the thousand-sheet PA included in the ten-bundle PB. can. Therefore, when a problem occurs in the shipped banknote P, it is possible to confirm which banknote P is included in which 1000-sheet sealed PA or 10-bundle sealed PB. Further, since the inspection result of the inspection device 200 can be managed in association with the serial number of the bill P, the inspection result can be used for investigating the cause of the problem occurring in the bill P.

In the above embodiment, the case where the management device 100 is provided in the paper leaf processing system 1 and the management device 100 manages the inspection device 200, the transfer device 300, and the packaging device 400 has been described.
