A support member 158 having two regulating pins 156 and 157 projecting therefrom is fixed to the bundled banknote holding member 153. As described above, in order to reduce the size of the entire sheet binding apparatus, the amount of the bundled banknote S2 pushed out from the chuck member 51 by the bundled banknote pushing mechanism 56 is about half as long as the chuck member 51. Since the bundled banknotes are set to protrude and are to be mounted on the bundled banknote mounting plate 150 only at the projecting portions, when the bundled banknotes S2 are moved on the bundled banknote mounting plate 150 in this state, Although there is a possibility that the posture of the banknote S2 at the time of movement becomes unstable, the bundled banknote holding member 153 transfers the bundled banknote S2 to the bundled banknote mounting plate 1.
By pressing the bundled banknotes 50, the posture of the bundled banknotes S2 at the time of movement can be stabilized.

One of the regulating pins 156 is fixed to the housing 11 when the bundled banknote discharging member 151 is located at the upstream of the bundled banknote S2 in the delivery position and in the movement limit position in this direction. The bundled banknote holding member 153 is rotated so as to be substantially horizontal against the urging force of the spring member 155 so as to smoothly transfer the bundled banknote S2 from the chuck member 51 so as to abut the regulating plate 160. The other regulation pin 157 is opened with respect to the bundled bill placement plate 150.
When the bundled banknote discharge member 151 is located at the movement limit position on the downstream side in the discharge direction of the bundled banknote S2, the bundled banknote discharge member 151 comes into contact with the regulating plate 161 fixed to the housing 11 side, and the bundled banknote holding member 15
3 is rotated so as to be substantially horizontal against the urging force of the spring member 155 so that the next delivery of the bundled banknote S2 is smooth, so that the bundled banknote S2 is opened with respect to the bundled banknote mounting plate 150. .

Also, the bundled banknote discharging member 151 is

Is a guide that extends substantially horizontally above the bundled banknote mounting plate 150 and has a shape slightly bent so that a portion on the downstream side in the unloading direction extends diagonally downward, and is fixed to the housing 11 side. A plate 164 and a state along the guide plate 164 on the downstream side in the unloading direction of the guide plate 164;
And a pivot plate 166 supported via a hinge 165 so as to be rotatable between a state in which the pivot plate 166 projects upward and a bias plate 166 biasing the pivot plate 166 in a direction along the guide plate 164. And a spring member.

Here, when the bundled banknote holding member 153 is rotated by the regulating pin 157 when the bundled banknote carrying-out member 151 moves to the movement limit position on the downstream side in the carrying-out direction of the bundled banknote S2, the guide member 163 is rotated. A contact piece 168 is provided which comes into contact with the rotating plate 166 from below, rotates the rotating plate 166 against the urging force of the spring member, and rises to a separated position above the rotating plate. Then, when the bundled banknote discharging member 151 moves to the upstream side in the unloading direction from the movement limit position on the downstream side in the unloading direction, the contact piece 168 moves the rotating plate 166 along the guide plate 164 by the urging force of the spring member. Since it is returned in the direction, the rotating plate 166 is contacted from above to restrict further downward movement. Therefore, the bundled banknote discharge member 151
Moves to the upstream side in the unloading direction of the bundled banknote S2,
66 and the upper surface of the guide plate 164. As a result, the bundled banknote holding member 153 is
0, the bundled banknote carry-out member 1 is maintained.

Can be brought into contact with the binding tape T interposed therebetween.

Here, the bundled banknote carrying-out member 151 is waiting at the downstream side in the carrying-out direction. At the timing before the cutting by, the bundled banknote S1 moves to the upstream side in the unloading direction, abuts against the downstream end surface of the stacked banknote S1 in the unloading direction, and stops with the binding tape T interposed therebetween. Here, since the direction of the contact is a direction in which the tape pressing member 170 cannot rotate, the binding tape T is pressed against the stacked banknotes S1 with a predetermined pressing force. Then, after cutting the binding tape T, the stopped state is maintained until the completion of the thermal bonding, and thereafter, when the chuck member 51 is lifted for marking, it is moved to the movement limit position on the upstream side in the unloading direction to prepare for the unloading operation. . At the time of the unloading operation, the tape pressing member 170 can rotate while contacting the chuck member 51, and thus does not hinder the movement of the bundled banknote unloading member 151.

And a bundled banknote delivery unit 22d is provided.

The control contents of the control unit 15 of the sheet binding apparatus of the present embodiment having the above configuration will be described below. In the following, a case where all denomination bills are randomly transported from the sheet processing machine side will be described as an example. in this case,
For example, the denomination with the largest transport amount, that is, ten thousand notes, is alternately divided into the upper binding unit main unit 13 and the lower binding unit main unit 14 to be alternately accumulated in each of the accumulation units 20a and 20c. That is, for example, a thousand bills are accumulated in the accumulation unit 20 of the upper binding machine main body 13.
b, another denomination, for example, 5,000 bills, is accumulated in the accumulation section 20d of the lower binding machine main body section 14.
The denominations accumulated at 0a, that is, ten thousand notes, are stored in the bundled banknote storage and dispensing unit 22a, the denominations accumulated at the accumulation unit 20b, that is, thousands of denominations are stored at the bundled banknote storage and dispensing unit 22b, and the denominations accumulated at the accumulation unit 20c, that is, Control is performed so that the banknotes are stored in the bundled banknote storage and dispensing unit 22c and the denominations accumulated in the stacking unit 20d, ie, 5,000 notes, are stored in the bundled banknote storage and dispensing unit 22d.

For the integration operation, the integration units 20a to 20
d is the same, first, in a state before accepting the bills, the accumulated bill placement plate 32 is positioned at the upper limit, and the bills conveyed through the corresponding ones of the diversion paths 17a to 17d are accepted and accumulated. The stacked banknote mounting plates 32 are stacked on the banknote mounting plate 32 while being gradually lowered. In this way, the stacking units 20a to 20d perform stacking, and when the stacked banknotes S1 stacked in one of the stacking units 20a and 20b reach a predetermined number to be bound in the upper binding machine main unit 13, the side of the stacking unit 20a to 20d. The binding unit 21 performs the binding process. On the other hand, in the lower binding machine main unit 14, the stacking units 20c and 20
When the number of stacked banknotes S1 stacked in any one of d reaches the predetermined number to be bound, the binding unit 21 on the side performs the binding process. Note that the processing of the stacked banknotes S1 is the same in both the upper tying machine main body 13 and the lower tying machine main body 14, and therefore, only the upper tying machine main body 13 will be described below.

In the standby state before the number of stacked banknotes S1 of the stacking units 20a and 20b reaches the predetermined number to be bound, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper chuck 65 is positioned at the upper limit position to stack the chuck members 51. The portion 20a is located at the upper receiving position on the horizontal side. At this time, the upper chuck 65 is located further above the upper end position of the stacked banknote S1 of the stacked banknote mounting plate 32 of the stacking unit 20a located at the lower limit, and the lower chuck 66 is formed as a protruding piece of the lower chuck lift regulating member 48a. The flat plate member 83 abuts on the lower side of the portion 47a, and the flat plate member 83 is brought into a substantially horizontal state against the urging force of the spring member 84, and the entire lower chuck 66 is separated from the upper chuck 65 so that the stacked bills are loaded. The receiving state is located slightly below the placing plate 32.

Then, in the upper stacking section 20a, the stacked banknotes S
When the number 1 has reached the predetermined number to be bound, the state is maintained as it is, and on the other hand, the stacked banknote S
When the number of sheets 1 has reached the predetermined number to be bound, the lower chuck raising regulating member 48b of the lower stacking section 20b is made to stand by at a position where it is retracted from the chuck member 51 and the range of raising and lowering the stacked bills S1 sandwiched therebetween. Therefore, by driving the ball screw 64 of the chuck elevator mechanism 52, the upper chuck 65 is lowered until the flat plate member 83 of the lower chuck 66 is located below the protruding piece 47b of the lower chuck lift regulating member 48b. After that, the protruding piece portion 47b of the lower chuck lift regulating member 48b is advanced,
After that, the upper chuck 65 is raised to position the chuck member 51 at the lower receiving position beside the stacking unit 20b. As a result, the chuck member 51 enters the above-described receiving state with respect to the stacking unit 20b.

It is also possible to make the upper chuck 65 stand by at the lower limit position.
a, when the number of stacked banknotes S1 reaches the predetermined number to be bound, the lower chuck raising regulating member 4 of the lower stacking unit 20b
By driving the ball screw 64 while the ball screw 8b is retracted from the elevating range of the chuck member 51 and the stacked bills S1 sandwiched between the chuck member 51 and the chuck member 51,
Is positioned at the upper receiving position to bring the stacking unit 20a into the above-described receiving state. On the other hand, when the number of stacked banknotes S1 reaches the predetermined number to be bound at the lower stacking unit 20b, the lower stacking unit After the projecting piece 47b of the lower chuck lifting regulating member 48b of 20b is advanced to the lifting / lowering range of the chuck member 51 and the stacked bills S1 sandwiched between the chuck member 51 and the ball screw 6,
4, the chuck member 51 is positioned at the lower receiving position on the horizontal side of the stacking section 20b, and the stacking section 20 is moved.
b.

For example, when the number of stacked banknotes S1 of the stacking section 20a reaches a predetermined number to be bound, the gate member 31 of the gate mechanism 36 is opened while the chuck member 51 is kept as it is, and then the corresponding stacking is performed. Bill pushing mechanism 44
a, the accumulated bill pushing member 45a is advanced to the chuck member 51 side, whereby the accumulated bill S1 of the accumulated bill mounting plate 32 is separated from the upper chuck 65 and the lower chuck 66 in the separated state as shown in FIG. Extruded during.
When the pushing is completed, the accumulated bill pushing mechanism 4
4a, the accumulated bill pushing member 45a and the gate member 31
Is immediately moved to the original position, and further, the stacking banknote mounting plate 32 is moved to the upper limit position, so that the stacking unit 20a stacks the next banknote. Here, at the start of pushing out the stacked banknotes S1, the lower chuck lowering regulating member 139 in the standby state and lying down is rotated to be in the upright state, and the tape in the standby state is in the stopped state. The supply roller 94 of the supply mechanism 53 is driven to start feeding the binding tape T. Also, the bundled banknote transport unit 24
The bundled banknote discharge member 151 is located on the downstream side in the bundled banknote discharge direction in the standby state.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 13, the feeding amount of the binding tape T, which has already started to be fed, becomes a predetermined amount, and the gap between the catch member 114 and the catch member 110 in the standby state and in the open state is set. At the time when the supply roller 94 is rotated until the leading end thereof is inserted, the tape catcher unit 99 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG.
Grab between 9,113. In addition, these are controlled so that the feeding speed of the binding tape T by the supply roller 94 is slightly faster than the drawing speed of the binding tape T by the tape catcher unit 99. On the other hand, fully accumulated banknotes S
When the accumulated bill pushing member 45a is advanced to a position where the first bill pushing member 1 is pushed to the chuck member 51, the tape catcher portion 99
At the same time as the above rotation start, the rotation of the ball screw 64 is started to lower the chuck member 51, that is, the upper chuck 65. Then, first, only the upper chuck 65 is lowered by the urging force of the spring member, and the upper chuck 65 alone is gently abutted against the stacked banknotes S1 on the lower chuck 66. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. The upper chuck 65 integrally descends with the lower chuck 66 while holding the stacked bills S1 by the urging force of the spring member. By this lowering, the restriction by the lower chuck raising restriction member 48a is released, and the flat plate member 83 is tilted by the urging force of the spring member 84. Here, the accumulation unit 20b
When the number of stacked banknotes S1 reaches the predetermined number to be bound, the chuck member 51 is stopped at the lower receiving position with respect to the stacking unit 20b, and when the receiving state is established at the lower receiving position, the stacked banknote pushing mechanism is moved. 44b stacked bill pushing member 45
b is advanced and the chuck member 51 is lowered from the lower receiving position.

When the upper chuck 65 is further lowered,
As shown in FIG. 15, the lower chuck 66 comes into contact with the lower chuck lowering regulating member 139 to restrict its movement, and the upper chuck 65 shortens the distance from the lower chuck 66 to move the accumulated bill S1 to a predetermined position. Hold firmly with strength,
The movement is stopped at the lower limit position, that is, the delivery position. In conjunction with the lowering of the upper chuck 65, the tape catcher unit 99 is rotated as shown in FIG.
As shown in (1), the binding tape T is wound around the stacked banknotes S1 together with the chuck members 51 by rotating around the stacked banknotes S1 which are held and lowered by the chuck members 51. And FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, the plate portion 108 of the catch member 110 and the catch member 114 are attached to the tape catcher portion 99 below the flat plate portion 80 of the lower chuck 66 in a state where the lowering is restricted by the lower chuck lowering regulating member 138. It is stopped at a position which is substantially the same angle as the flat plate portion 80 and which comes into contact with the lower surface of the banknote stack. As a result, the portion of the binding tape T that is extended from the gripped portion by the gripping surfaces 109 and 113 and is on the distal end side is pressed against the stacked banknote S1.

The supply roller 9 is supplied by the tape supply mechanism 53.
4 is rotated in the reverse direction, and the binding tape T is pulled back. Then, the portion on the leading end side of the union tape T is gripped by the tape catcher portion 99 and further pressed against the accumulated bill S1, so that the position is maintained as it is, and therefore, as shown in FIG. Is tied up. Here, the portion of the tightened binding tape T between the banknote stack S1 and the supply roller 94 is stretched linearly. Then, the detection member 128 of the tape winding failure detection unit 127 abuts on the binding tape T, is bent by the tension, is brought into contact with the detection member 129, and is in an electrically conductive state. Thereby, it is determined that the binding tape T is normal. On the other hand, if the binding tape T is not properly grasped by the tape catcher portion 99, the binding tape T is cut, or the binding tape T comes off from the tape catcher portion 99, the tension of the binding tape T becomes inappropriate, The detecting member 128 is separated from the detecting member 129 without bending, and is in a state of being electrically disconnected. Thereby, while determining that the binding tape T is abnormal, the tape catcher pull-out unit 100 moves the tape catcher unit 99 to the front side of the housing, and stops the operation inside the other upper binding unit main body unit 13, In addition, the unit notifies the user of the bad bonding by an alarm and a display. The detection operation of the tape winding failure detection unit 127 is performed by a cutter 95 described later after a predetermined time sufficient to tighten the binding tape T has elapsed after the supply roller 94 of the tape supply mechanism 53 is rotated in the reverse direction. The process is performed before the binding tape T is cut.

The bundled bill discharging member 151 of the bundled bill transporting unit 24 located at the movement limit position on the downstream side in the bundled bill discharging direction.
With the binding tape T tightened, the bundled banknotes are moved to the upstream side of the bundled banknote discharge direction, and as shown in FIG. After abutment with the binding tape T interposed therebetween, the unit is stopped. Thereby, the friction member 172 presses the binding tape T against the stacked banknotes S1 with a predetermined pressing force. In this state, the tape bonding mechanism 5
5 advances the iron member 135 in the direction of the binding tape T. During the forward movement, the binding tape T is moved by the cutter 95 of the tape supply mechanism 53 at a timing at which the iron member 135 moves slightly before contacting the binding tape T.
Cut. Then, the rear end portion formed by the cutting is guided by the advancing iron member 135 so as to be bent, and the rear end portion is attached to the already wound portion of the binding tape T on the upper surface of the upper holding member 72 of the upper chuck 65. Press the part and heat bond. At a predetermined timing during the bonding, the bundled banknote discharging member 151 of the bundled banknote transporting unit 24 is attached.
Again slightly to the downstream side in the bundled banknote take-out direction. Thereby, the friction member 172 of the tape pressing member 170 is separated from the binding tape T.

At the timing when a sufficient time has passed for the thermal bonding, the iron member 135 is retracted. Then, at the timing when the iron member 135 is separated from the binding tape T, the solenoid (not shown) is switched, and the tape catcher portion 99 is moved to the front side of the housing by the tape catcher drawer 100, so that the gripping surfaces 109 and 113 are moved. It is moved to a retracted position where it is retracted from the binding tape T. As a result, the tape catcher unit 99 is pulled out of the binding tape T. When the tape bonding mechanism 55 returns to the standby position in which the iron member 135 is most retracted, the seal member 148 which has been in the standby state outside the lifting / lowering range of the chuck member 51 and the stacked bills S1 sandwiched by the chuck member 51 is moved to the lifting / lowering range. Forward, the chuck member 51 and the accumulated bill S
1 above. Thereafter, the chuck member 51 is raised by a predetermined amount by the ball screw 64 of the chuck elevator mechanism 52, and as shown in FIG.
Is brought into contact with the stamp 148, and the binding tape T is stamped with the name and date of the financial institution.

When the chuck member 51 is lifted, it passes under the chuck member 51 so as to move the bundle banknote discharge member 151 of the bundle banknote transport section 24 to the upstream side in the bundle banknote discharge direction. Also, at this time, the solenoid is switched, and the tape catcher portion 99 is moved to the rear side of the housing by the tape catcher pull-out portion 100, so that the gripping surfaces 109, 1 are provided.
13 to the forward position. Then, the tape catcher unit 99 is rotated clockwise in FIG.
The catch member 114 is the tape catcher regulating member 11
8 and is stopped at a standby position where it is opened a predetermined amount with respect to the catch member 110. Further, at this time, the lower chuck lowering regulating member 139 is rotated to bring the lower chuck downside down state.

Thereafter, the chuck member 51 is lowered to the lower limit position, that is, the delivery position by the ball screw 64 of the chuck elevator mechanism 52. When the chuck member 51, that is, the upper chuck 65 is lowered to the delivery position, the slide member 142 which has been at the standby position of the bundled banknote pushing mechanism 56.
Is pushed forward in the front direction of the housing, and the push rod 143 is integrally formed therewith.
Is advanced in the slots 75 and 87 of the chuck member 51.
Then, the push rod 143 pushes the bundled banknote S2 formed by winding the binding tape T around the stacked banknote S1 sandwiched between the chuck members 51 toward the front side of the housing along the longitudinal direction. As the slide member 142 advances, first, the bundled banknote S2 moves together with the wound binding tape T to remove the binding tape T from the chuck member 51 (at this time, the upper chuck 65 and the lower chuck 66 are separated by a spring member. The bundled banknote S2 is clamped only by the urging force of (2). Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 9, the lower chuck pressing member 145 brings the pressing surface 146 into contact with the roller 88 of the lower chuck 66, and the pressing surface 146 is pressed.
The roller 88 is pressed and moved downward in the shape of (1), and the lower chuck 66 is further pressed down against the urging force of the spring member. Thus, the upper chuck 65 and the lower chuck 66
Finally, the bundled banknotes S2
Is projected onto the bundled banknote mounting plate 150 of the bundled banknote transport unit 24 by about half the length in the length direction.

At this time, the bundled bill discharging member 151 of the bundled bill transporting section 24 is located at the movement limit position on the upstream side in the bundled bill discharging direction at this time, as shown in FIG.
The bundle banknote holding member 153 makes the regulating pin 156 abut on the regulating plate 160 fixed to the housing 11 side, and the spring member 15
5 is turned to be substantially horizontal against the urging force of No. 5. Then, from this state, when the bundled banknote unloading member 151 of the bundled banknote transport unit 24 is moved to the downstream side in the bundled banknote unloading direction, the bundled banknote holding member 153 is separated from the regulating plate 160 by the separation of the regulating pin 156 from the spring member. The bundled bill S2 is rotated by the urging force of 155 and presses the bundled bill S2 onto the bundled bill mounting plate 150. Then, in this state, the moving bundled banknote discharging member 151 abuts on the end side of the bundled banknote S2 in the short direction, and pushes out and conveys it to the side. Subsequently, when the bundled banknote carrying-out member 151 moves to the movement limit position on the downstream side in the carrying-out direction of the bundled banknote S2, the regulating pin 157 is attached to the regulating plate 161 fixed to the housing 11, as shown in FIG. The bundled banknote holding member 153 is rotated to be substantially horizontal against the urging force of the spring member 155 so as to be separated from the bundled banknote S2, and the bundled banknote discharge member 151 moves the bundled banknote S2. , And is pushed out of the bundled banknote mounting plate 150 and dropped. Then, another part (not shown) of the bundled banknote transporting unit 24 transports the bundled banknote S2 so as to be distributed to any of the bundled banknote storing and feeding units 22a and 22b and the external discharge unit 25. Then, the bundled banknote discharging member 151 stands by for the next binding process at the movement limit position on the downstream side in the bundled banknote discharging direction.

The bundled banknote pushing mechanism 56 advances the slide member 142 to move the bundled banknote S2 from the chuck member 51.
Is pushed out in the direction of the bundle banknote mounting plate 150, and the bundle member S <b> 2 is moved backward by the bundle banknote discharge member 151 of the bundle banknote transport unit 24 at the timing when the bundle banknote S <b> 2 is completely located outside the chuck member 51. It will return to the standby position. At the same timing, the chuck elevator mechanism 52 raises the chuck member 51. At this time, if the number of banknotes to be bundled has already been stacked on the lower stacking unit 20b, the projecting piece 47b of the projecting piece 47b of the lower chuck elevation regulating member 48b is connected to the binding unit 2b.
After protruding in one direction, the upper chuck 65 is moved up to the lower receiving position beside the stacking portion 20b and stopped. In other cases, the upper chuck 65 is raised to the upper receiving position on the side of the stacking unit 20a, stopped and waits without projecting the lower chuck raising regulating member 48b toward the binding unit 21.

Here, if the processing is terminated when the number of banknotes stacked by the stacking units 20a and 20b is less than the number required for bundling, etc., the stacked banknote pushing mechanism 44 may be used as necessary.
a, 44b pushes out the stacked banknotes S1, and the chuck member 5
1 and can be received and delivered to the bundled banknote transporting unit 24 without being bound, and can be transported from the bundled banknote transporting unit 24 to the fraction storage unit 23 and stored in the fraction storage unit 23. In this case, without operating the tape supply mechanism 53, the tape winding mechanism 54, and the tape bonding mechanism 55,
Otherwise, the same processing as described above is performed, and the bundled banknote transporter 24
Thus, the stacked bills are conveyed to the fraction storage unit 23.

In the above description, the upper binding machine main body 1
3 has been described as an example, but the lower binding machine body 1
The same applies to No. 4. In addition, the accumulation units 20a to 20d
The method of sorting the banknotes to each other is not limited to the above, and various methods such as sorting banknotes of all different denominations to all the stacking units 20a to 20d, or sorting the same denomination are applied. it can. In addition, the above is not limited to banknotes and is suitable for use in binding other various paper sheets.

As described above, according to the paper sheet binding machine of the present embodiment, the delivery is performed during the transfer from the stacking units 20a to 20d to the bundled bill transporting unit 24 which is the next delivery destination. Since the binding process is performed without any need, the accumulated bills S1
Is transferred from the stacking units 20a to 20d to the chuck member 51, and is transferred from the chuck member 51 to the bundled banknote transporting unit 24 (four in the related art).
The transfer is also performed from the stacking units 20a to 20d to the bundled banknote transporting unit 2.
Only one place to 4 (conventionally two places). Therefore, the number of transfer and transfer mechanisms can be reduced, so that the size and cost can be reduced, and the transfer and transfer processing time can be reduced. The time required to complete the delivery can be reduced.

Since the chuck member 51 has an upper chuck 65, a lower chuck 66 provided to be able to move up and down with respect to the upper chuck 65, and a spring member for urging the lower chuck 66 toward the upper chuck 65. Even if the thickness of the stacked banknotes S1 varies, the upper chuck 65
The change in the position of the lower chuck 66 with respect to Therefore, even if the thickness of the stacked banknotes S1 varies, the stacked banknotes S1 can be reliably held.

Further, when the chuck member 51 descends to the delivery position, the lower chuck 66 abuts on the lower chuck lowering regulation member 139 at a position before the delivery position, and further movement is regulated. Therefore, when moving to the delivery position, the distance between the lower chuck 66 and the upper chuck 65 is reduced as compared with a state in which the stacked bills S1 are clamped by the spring member. Therefore, when the binding tape T of the stacked banknotes S1 located at the delivery position is tightened by the tape supply mechanism 53 and bonded by the tape bonding mechanism 55, it is possible to tighten and bond the stacked banknotes S1 in a reduced thickness. Therefore, the loosening of the binding tape T can be prevented.

In addition, the upper and lower chucks 65 and 6 are attached to the stacked banknotes S1 sandwiched between the upper and lower chucks 65 and 66 by the tape winding mechanism 54.
In a state where the binding tape T is wound together with the binding tape 6, the binding tape T is adhered. When the extruding rod 143 moves to a position where the binding tape T separates from the upper chuck 65 and the lower chuck 66 when extruding the lower chuck pressing member 145, the lower chuck pressing member 145 moves integrally with the extruding rod 143.
However, the lower chuck 66 is pushed down, and the upper bank 65 and the lower chuck 66 are released from holding the bundled banknote S2. The height of the lower chuck 66 at this time is set such that the lower surface of the bundled banknote S2 from which the clamping is released is similar to or slightly higher than the bundled banknote mounting plate 150. Therefore, the pushing of the bundled banknotes S1 by the push rod 143 after the binding tape T is detached from the chuck member 51 can be performed smoothly.

Further, before lowering the chuck member 51 having received the stacked bills S1 from the upper receiving position or the lower receiving position, the control section 15 causes the tape supply mechanism 53 to feed out the binding tape T, and At the same time as the lowering is started, the winding of the binding tape T is started by the tape winding mechanism 54. Therefore, the winding of the binding tape T is started simultaneously with the start of the lowering of the chuck member 51, so that the time required for binding can be further reduced.

Further, when the chuck member 51 rises to receive the stacked bills S1 from the stacking units 20a to 20d, the lower chuck 66 lowers the flat plate member 83 at the upper receiving position or the position immediately before the lower receiving position. By contacting the chuck lift restricting member 48a or the lower chuck lift restricting member 48b, further movement of the contact position is restricted. Therefore, when the upper chuck 65 further moves to the receiving position, the flat plate member 83 urged by the spring member 84 rotates in a state where the flat plate portion 80 is tilted so as to be lower and becomes substantially horizontal. Accordingly, it is possible to smoothly and reliably receive the banknotes S1 from the stacking units 20a to 20d.

In addition, since a plurality of stacking units 20a to 20d are arranged at different positions vertically, sorting and stacking of a plurality of types of banknotes and stacking of the same type of banknotes are performed by the stacking units 20a to 20d. Can be performed in parallel. Moreover, since the stacking units 20a to 20d are vertically shifted, the size can be reduced without increasing the floor area required for the layout.

Further, the lower chuck lifting regulating member 48b provided near the stacking portion 20b other than the uppermost stacking portion 20a in each of the upper binding device main body portion 13 and the lower binding device main body portion 14 is moved by the chuck elevator mechanism 52. Since the chuck member 51 and the stacked banknote S1 are provided so as to be able to advance and retreat with respect to the elevating range, the lower chuck lifting regulating member 48b provided near the stacking unit 20b other than when the stacking banknote S1 is pushed out from the stacking unit 20b. By retreating, it is possible to prevent interference of the lower chuck elevation regulating member 48b with the elevation of the chuck member 51.

In addition, the control unit 15 controls the upper binding machine main body 1
3 and the stacking unit 20c of the lower binding machine main unit 14.
At the same time, the banknotes (million bills) of the same denomination with a large number of processed sheets are alternately conveyed.
In 20c, the number of stacked sheets reaches the same number of sheets to be bound almost simultaneously, so that the stacking section 20a of the upper binding machine main body section 13 and the stacking section 20c of the lower binding machine main body section 14 are
The binding process is always performed almost simultaneously. Therefore,
The efficiency of the binding process can be further improved. Moreover, since the upper binding machine main body 13 and the lower binding machine main body 14 are vertically displaced from each other, they can be made compact without increasing the floor area required for the layout.
