Is wound around the stacked banknotes S1 by the tape winding mechanism 54, and then the binding tape T is tightened to remove the slack by the reversal of the tape supply mechanism 53, as shown in FIG. The tape catcher unit 99 may bend the binding tape T, cut the binding tape T, or separate the binding tape T from the tape catcher unit 99. If the tension of the binding tape T becomes improper due to, for example, looseness, the bending becomes small and the binding tape T is separated from the detection member 129.

The detection members 128 and 129 are both made of a conductive material, and the control section 15 detects electrical conduction / interruption due to contact / separation from each other to determine whether the binding tape T is normal or abnormal. That is, the tape winding mechanism 54
Of binding tape T and tape supply mechanism 5
If the detecting members 128 and 129 are separated from each other and the electrical conduction is interrupted at the timing after the binding tape T is tightened by the reverse rotation of the control unit 3, the control unit 15 causes the tape winding mechanism 5 to operate.
4, it is determined that the winding of the binding tape T around the stacked banknotes S1 has failed, and the main operation of the upper binding machine main body 13 is stopped.

As the tape winding defect detecting section 127, the one having the configuration shown in FIG. 8 can be employed. One end of the tape winding failure detection unit 127 is rotatably supported and is urged toward the binding tape T by a spring member (not shown) to be positioned at a rotation limit position. 131 includes a micro switch 132 that is turned on when the spring 131 rotates a predetermined amount against the urging force of the spring member. Then, the rotating member 131 is pressed by the binding tape T in a state where the binding tape T has an appropriate tension as described above, and the micro switch 132 is turned off.
On the other hand, if the tension of the binding tape T is not appropriate, the binding switch returns to the rotation limit position by the urging force of the spring member and is placed at the position where the microswitch 132 is turned off. Then, the control unit 15 controls the micro switch 1
By turning ON / OFF 32, it is determined whether the winding of the binding tape T around the stacked banknote S1 is normal or abnormal.

As shown in FIG. 3, the tape bonding mechanism 55 includes a chuck member 5 by a chuck elevator mechanism 52.
The arm unit 134 is provided so as to be able to advance and retreat with respect to the ascending / descending range of the stacked banknote S1 and the stacked banknotes S1 sandwiched by the unit.

As a result, when the upper chuck 65 further moves to the delivery position, the distance between the lower chuck 66 and the upper chuck 65 from the state where the stacked bills S1 are clamped by the spring member is, for example, equivalent to the thickness of the number of new bills. The distance is reduced and the flat plate member 83 is positioned at the rotation limit position in the direction in which the angle formed by the flat plate portion 80 decreases. In the sideways position, contact with the lower chuck 66 at the delivery position is avoided.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 9, the bundled banknote pushing mechanism 56 has the tape bonding mechanism 5 at the delivery position.

An extruding rod (bundled paper sheet pushing member) 143 is vertically provided on the slide member 142. Slots 75 and 87 of the chuck member 51 are formed so that the push rod 143 can be inserted in accordance with the position of the push rod 143. Also, the slide member 14
2 moves forward and backward by the driving force of a driving unit (not shown) controlled by the control unit 15.

More specifically, when the chuck member 51 is located at the delivery position, the push rod 143 of the slide member 142 that stands by at the rearmost side of the housing 11 is moved from the bundled banknote S2 held by the chuck member 51. When the slide member 142 moves toward the front surface of the housing 11 and is positioned on the rear side in the elongated holes 75 and 87 (see FIG. 5), the push rod 14 is integrally formed therewith.
3 advances in the long holes 75 and 87, and pushes out the bundled banknote S2 in the front direction together with the wound binding tape T,
The binding tape T is removed from the chuck member 51, and the bundled banknote S
2 is further extruded by a predetermined amount and delivered to the bundled banknote transport unit 24. Here, in order to reduce the overall size of the sheet binding machine 10, the amount of movement of the slide member 142 is such that the bundled banknote S2 protrudes from the tip of the chuck member 51 by about half the length in the length direction. It is set as follows.

Here, when the bundle pushing rod 143 moves to a position where the bundled tape S2 is pushed out until the binding tape T is disengaged from the chuck member 51, the lower chuck pressing member 1 pushes the lower chuck 66 downward.

In other words, the lower chuck pressing member 145 extends on the slide member 142 along the moving direction, and is inclined so that the end portion near the front surface of the housing is higher and becomes lower toward the rear surface of the housing. The lower surface 146 is formed, and the pressing surface 146 is
It is located above the roller 88 of the chuck member 51 located at the delivery position.

Then, at the timing when the slide member 142 moves toward the front surface of the housing and the binding tape T comes off the chuck member 51, the lower chuck pressing member 145 brings the pressing surface 146 into contact with the roller 88, and further the sliding member 142. , The roller 88 is pressed and moved downward in the shape of the pressing surface 146, and the lower chuck 66 is pressed down.
As a result, the upper chuck 65 and the lower chuck 66 are separated from each other, so that the subsequent pushing of the bundled banknote S2 becomes smooth. The control unit 15 can lower the lower chuck 66 at a timing after the completion of the thermal bonding of the binding tape T and before the lower chuck pressing member 145 starts to push down the lower chuck 66. Is turned to the side-down state.

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 contacts 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 take-out member 1 is maintained.
51 moves to the upstream side in the unloading direction of the bundled banknote S2.

On the rear side of the housing of the bundled banknote discharging member 151,
A tape holding member 170 is provided. The tape pressing member 170 is supported by the bundled banknote discharge member 151 via the hinge 171 so as to be horizontally pivotable from a protruding position protruding in the rear direction of the housing in a direction in which the tape banknote S2 falls to the upstream side in the discharge direction of the bundled banknote S2. At the same time, it is urged by a spring member (not shown) in the direction of the projecting position (counterclockwise direction shown in FIG. 17). A friction member 172 is provided on the end surface of the tape holding member 170 at the projecting position on the upstream side in the carrying-out direction.

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

Here, the bundled banknote delivery member 151 is waiting at the downstream side in the delivery direction, and after the binding tape T is wound by the tape winding mechanism 54 and tightened by the reverse rotation of the tape supply mechanism 53, the cutter 95 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.

The bundled banknote transporter 24 is controlled by the controller 15 to control the bundled banknotes S2 carried out by the above-mentioned bundled banknote mounting plate 150 and the bundled banknote carrying-out member 151, so that the bundled banknote storage / feeding units 22a and 22b. , And is conveyed so as to be distributed to any of the external discharge unit 25 and the fraction storage unit 23.

In addition, the control unit 15 determines from the counting status of the denomination signal from the denomination discriminating unit 19, the accumulation unit 20a,
If it is determined that the number of stacked banknotes S1 stacked by any one of 20b has reached a predetermined number to be bound, the stacked banknotes S1 are clamped by the chuck member 51 and bound by the binding unit 21. After the processing of one transaction by the leaf processing machine 9, if there is a fractional banknote S1 that is not bound to any of the upper and lower stacking units 20 a and 20 b, the fractional banknote S1 is attached to the chuck member 51. Without being bound by the binding unit 21, and conveyed to the bundled banknote transporting unit 24 by the bundled banknote transporting unit 24.
To be stored.

The lower binding machine main body 14 has the same configuration as the above-described upper binding machine main body 13, and the upper binding machine main body 13 has the same horizontal position as the upper binding machine main body 13 and is shifted only in the vertical direction. It is arranged on the lower side. It should be noted that since the configuration is the same as that of the upper binding unit main body 13, the description of the lower binding unit main unit 14 is omitted, but the upper stacking unit 2 corresponding to the stacking unit 20a is omitted.
0c, the third branch flow path 17c from the top of the transport section 12
Are connected, and the lower stacking unit 20 corresponding to the stacking unit 20b
d, the lowermost branch path 17d of the transport unit 12 is connected, and the bundled banknote storage and delivery unit 22c corresponds to the bundled banknote storage and delivery unit 22a, and the bundled banknote storage and delivery unit 22b corresponds to the bundled banknote storage and delivery unit 22b. And a bundled banknote feeding and feeding section 22d is provided.

The control contents of the control unit 15 of the sheet binding apparatus 10 according to the first 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 9 will be described as an example. In this case, for example, the denomination with the largest transport amount, that is, the ten thousand notes, is alternately divided into the upper binding machine main body 13 and the lower binding machine main body 14, and is alternately accumulated in the accumulation sections 20a and 20c. Denomination, ie, for example, a thousand bills on the upper binding machine main body 1
3, the other denominations, for example, 5,000 bills, are accumulated in the accumulation unit 20d of the lower binding machine main unit 14,
The denominations accumulated in the accumulating unit 20a, that is, ten thousand bills, are stored in the bundled banknote storage and dispensing unit 22a, and the denominations accumulated in the accumulating unit 20b, that is, thousand denominations are stored in the bundled banknote storage and dispensing unit 22b.
Control is performed such that the denominations accumulated at 0c, that is, ten thousand bills, are stored in the bundled banknote storage and delivery unit 22c, and the denominations accumulated at the accumulation unit 20d, that is, 5,000 bills, are stored in the bundled banknote storage and delivery 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. On the bill placement plate 32, the accumulation bill placement plate 32 is accumulated while gradually lowering. In this way, the stacking units 20a to 20d perform stacking, and when the stacked banknotes S1 stacked in any of the stacking units 20a and 20b reach a predetermined number to be bound in the upper binding machine main unit 13, the upper 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 the numbers d reaches a 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 binding machine main body 13 and the lower binding machine main body 14, and therefore, only the upper binding machine main body 13 will be described below.

In the standby state before the stacked banknotes S1 of the stacking units 20a and 20b reach 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. It is located at the upper receiving position on the horizontal side of the portion 20a. 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, if the number of stacked banknotes S1 reaches a 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 in 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 placement 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. 19, 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 the open state is established. 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 higher 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 stacked banknote pushing member 45a is advanced to a position where the stacking banknote 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 lower chuck 66 is kept in contact with the accumulated bills S1 on the lower chuck 66, and thereafter, as shown in FIG. The upper chuck 65 descends integrally with the lower chuck 66 while holding the stacked banknotes 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 accumulated 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. 21, 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. 1, 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, since 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 stacked banknotes S1, 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.

[0093] The bundled bill discharging member 151 of the bundled banknote 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. Thus, 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 heat 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 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 stacked banknotes S1 currently bound are changed to normal banknotes based on a signal transmitted from the attached sheet processing machine 9. It is determined whether the banknote is a stacked banknote S1 consisting only of banknotes or a banknote S1 consisting only of banknotes. Here, the attached sheet processing machine 9 binds only the banknotes that are determined to be normal to the sheet binding machine 10 when a command operation for sending only normal banknotes to the sheet binding machine 10 is performed in the operation unit. The bills are sent to the machine 10 side, and the bills determined to be unfit at this time are stored together in the unfit note storage unit without being sent out. On the basis of the operation signal from the operation unit, the control unit 15
It is determined that the stacked banknote S1 currently bound is composed of only normal banknotes. On the other hand, the sheet processing machine 9
When a command operation for sending out the damaged paper money is performed in the operation unit, the damaged paper money stored in the damaged paper storage unit from that time is continuously sent to the paper sheet binding machine 10 side.
Based on the signal of the operation by the operation unit, the control unit 15 determines that the currently-stacked banknote S1 to be bound is composed only of the damaged banknote.

When the control unit 15 determines that the stacked banknotes S1 currently bound are only normal banknotes, the drive motor of the stamping unit 148 in the standby state is used to rotate the rotary arm 216. Is rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise in plan view. Then, as described above, while the slide plate 208 slides to the stamping position, the push-out member 232 slides toward the chuck member 51 with respect to the slide plate 208, and the stamped body 203 is attached to the chuck member 51 by the stamping surface 203a. Rotate to move in the direction. In this way, the stamp body 201 and the stamped-sheet stamp body 203 which have been in a standby state outside the range of raising and lowering the chuck member 51 and the stacked banknotes S1 sandwiched between the chuck member 51 and the stacking banknote S1 are advanced to the above-mentioned range. Stamping surface 201
a is positioned above the binding tape T at this time within the moving range of the binding tape T, and the stamping body 201 is moved while the marking surface 203a of the stamping body 203 for unfit bills is moved away from the moving range of the binding tape T. Is positioned above the marking surface 201a. Thereafter, the chuck member 51 is raised by a predetermined amount by the ball screw 64 of the chuck elevator mechanism 52, and the binding tape T is brought into contact with the marking surface 201a of the stamp body 201 as shown in FIG. The name and date are stamped.

On the other hand, if the control unit 15 determines that the stacked banknote S1 currently bound is composed only of unfit banknotes, the stamping unit 148 in the standby state is rotated by the drive arm of the rotating arm 216. Is rotated 180 degrees clockwise in plan view. Then, as described above, the slide plate 208 slides to the marking position without moving the pushing member 232 with respect to the slide plate 208. Thus, the seal member 2 and the stamped body 2 which was in a standby state outside the range of raising and lowering the stacked banknotes S1 sandwiched therebetween.
01 and the stamped body 203 for unfit bills are advanced to the elevating range, and their stamped surfaces 201a and 203a
Is positioned above the binding tape T at this time within the moving range of the binding tape T. Thereafter, the chuck member 51 is raised by a predetermined amount by the ball screw 64 of the chuck elevator mechanism 52, and the binding tape T is simultaneously applied to both the printing surfaces 201a and 203a of the printing body 201 and the stamp printing body 203 as shown in FIG. Then, the binding tape T is stamped with the name of the financial institution, the date, and the like, and the stamp indicating that it is an unfit bill.

The above-described chuck member 5 for marking is used.
At the time of the rise of 1, the bundled banknote delivery member 151 of the bundled banknote transporting unit 24 is moved to the upstream side in the bundled banknote delivery direction by passing under the chuck member 51. 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 to move the grip surfaces 109 and 113 to the forward position.
Then, the tape catcher unit 99 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 3 so that the catch member 114 comes into contact with the tape catcher regulating member 118 and the catch member 110
Is stopped at a standby position opened by a predetermined amount. 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 by the ball screw 64 of the chuck elevator mechanism 52 to the lower limit position, that is, the delivery position. After this descent, the control unit 1
5 drives the drive motor of the stamp 148, thereby rotating the rotary arm 216 by 180 ° counterclockwise in plan view, and returning the stamp 148 to the standby state.

On the other hand, when the chuck member 51, that is, the upper chuck 65 is lowered to the delivery position, the slide member 142 at the standby position of the bundled banknote pushing mechanism 56 is advanced toward the front of the housing, and the pushing 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. Bundle S only with the urging force of
2). Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 9, the lower chuck pressing member 145 moves the pressing surface 146 to the lower chuck 6.
6, the roller 88 is pressed and moved downward in the shape of the pressing surface 146, and the lower chuck 66 is further pressed down against the urging force of the spring member. In the state where the upper chuck 65 and the lower chuck 66 are forcibly separated from each other, finally, the bundled banknotes S2 are transported by the bundled banknote transport unit 24 by about half the length in the length direction. It protrudes above the mounting plate 150.

At this time, the bundled bill discharging member 151 of the bundled bill transporting unit 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 binding, the stacked banknote pushing mechanism 44 may be used as necessary.
a, 44b pushes out the stacked banknotes S1, and the chuck member 5
In step 1, the bundled paper money is transferred to the bundled paper money transport unit 24 without being bound, and is conveyed from the bundled paper money transport unit 24 to the fraction storage unit 23 to be 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.

According to the first embodiment described above, the chuck member 51 is moved by the chuck elevator mechanism 52 to be wound around the stacked sheets sandwiched between the chuck members 51. Printing body 201 with binding tape T
Since the seal is abutted on the seal member, the moving distance of the seal member 201 can be reduced, and thus the seal member moving mechanism 202 for moving the seal member 201 can be downsized. In addition, since the stacked banknotes S1 sandwiched between the chuck members 51 by the chuck elevator mechanism 52 are moved, the degree of freedom of the arrangement position of the stamp body 201 and the stamp body moving mechanism unit 202 for stamping can be increased.

Further, it is possible that the stamp body 201 is moved into the vertical movement range of the stacked banknote S1 by the chuck elevator mechanism 52 when the stamp body is to be stamped by the stamp body moving mechanism section 202, and otherwise the seal body 201 is retracted. it can. Therefore, as described above, when the stacked banknotes S1 need to be moved by the chuck elevator mechanism 52 in order to wind the binding tape T around the sandwiched stacked banknotes S1 by the binding mechanism unit 200, the chuck elevator mechanism is used for purposes other than stamping. When the stacked banknotes S1 need to be moved according to 52, it is possible to apply a seal at an intermediate position in the moving range.

Further, when the stacked banknotes S1 composed of unfit papers are bound, the chuck elevator mechanism 52 is moved in a state in which the unfit paper stamps 203 are moved into the moving range by the unfit paper stamp transfer mechanism moving mechanism 204. By moving the chuck member 51 in the above manner, the binding tape T wound around the stacked banknotes S1 sandwiched between the chuck members 51 is
To make a seal for the damaged sheet. Therefore, the bundle of stacked banknotes S1 made of damaged banknotes can be distinguished from the bundle of stacked banknotes S1 made of normal banknotes without damaged banknotes. In addition, since the stamped body moving mechanism unit 204 for the damaged sheet is interlocked with the stamped body moving mechanism unit 203, these drive motors can be used as one and shared.

A second embodiment of the paper sheet binding machine according to the present invention will be described below mainly with reference to FIGS. 26 and 27, focusing on the differences from the first embodiment. In addition,
The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. As shown in FIG. 26, the seal 148 of the second embodiment is located above the upper end of the range of movement of the binding tape T wound on the stacked banknote S <b> 1 held by the chuck member 51 by the chuck elevator mechanism 52. Further, the stamp body 201 is fixedly supported on the housing 11 so that the stamp surface 201a faces downward and substantially coincides with the upper end.

As shown in FIG. 27, the housing 11 is located above the upper end of the moving range and beside the seal 201.
A support member 239 is swingably disposed via a support shaft 238 horizontally arranged on the side, and the damaged member stamp body 203 is detachably held by the support member 239. As the moving mechanism 204, a link member 240 connected to the support member 239 and a solenoid 242 having a drive shaft 241 connected to the link member 240 are provided. When the solenoid 242 is excited and the drive shaft 241 is most retracted, the support member 239
The stamping surface 203a of the stamped-off body 203 attached to the stamper 201 is directed vertically downward, and the height thereof is adjusted to the stamping surface 201a of the stamped body 201, that is, the stamped body is disposed at the upper end of the moving range. In a state where the drive shaft 241 is most protruded, the support member 239 is swung so that the marking surface 203a of the stamp-fitting body 203 attached to the support member 239 is moved from the upper end of the moving range to the housing. 11 is moved backward and upward. Note that the solenoid 242 is maintained in a demagnetized state in a state other than at the time of stamping with the damaged stamp body 203.

In addition, the lower chuck raising restriction member 48a of the second embodiment is different from the lower chuck raising restriction member 48 of the second embodiment.
Similarly to b, it is slidable in the direction along the shorter direction of the stacked banknotes S1 on the stacked banknote mounting plate 32, and is urged toward the binding unit 21 by a spring member (not shown). When the stacked banknote pushing member 45a moves in the direction of the binding unit 21, the lower chuck lift regulating member 48a moves in the direction of the binding unit 21 by the urging force of the spring member, and the chuck member similarly to the first embodiment. When the stacking bill pushing member 45a moves in the opposite direction to the binding unit 21, the contact piece (not shown) moves to the stacking bill pushing member 45a. The contact allows the lower chuck 66 of the chuck member 51 to move up and down by being moved in the opposite direction with respect to the binding unit 21. Note that, similarly to the stacked banknote pushing member 45b in the lower chuck lift regulating member 48b, the stacked banknote pushing member 45a is moved from the upper stacking unit 20a to the stacked banknote S1.
In a state other than receiving the protruding piece portion 47a
Is moved to a position where it is retracted with respect to the chuck member 51 and the range in which the stacked banknotes S1 sandwiched by the chuck member 51 are moved up and down.

In this case, before the stacked bills S1 reach the predetermined number to be bound at the stacking units 20a and 20b, for example, the upper chuck 65 is made to wait at the lower limit position, and the stacked bills S1 are stacked at the upper stacking unit 20a. When the number reaches the predetermined number to be bound, the lower chuck raising regulating member 48b of the lower stacking portion 20b is retracted from the lifting and lowering range of the chuck member 51 and the stacked bills S1 sandwiched therebetween. By driving the ball screw 64 with the lower chuck lift regulating member 48a of the upper stacking portion 20a advanced to the lifting and lowering range of the chuck member 51 and the stacked banknote S1 sandwiched by the chuck member 51,
The chuck member 51 is positioned at the upper receiving position on the horizontal side of the stacking unit 20a, and is set in the receiving state with respect to the stacking unit 20a. On the other hand, when the number of stacked banknotes S1 has reached the predetermined number to be bound in the lower stacking unit 20b, the lower chuck lift regulating member 48a of the upper stacking unit 20a is moved to the chuck member 51.
And the state in which it is retracted from the range of raising and lowering the stacked banknotes S1 sandwiched between them, and the projecting piece 47b of the lower chuck raising regulating member 48b of the lower stacking section 20b is
The chuck member 51 and the stacked bills S1 sandwiched therebetween.
Then, by driving the ball screw 64, the chuck member 51 is positioned at the lower receiving position on the horizontal side of the stacking unit 20b, and is brought into the receiving state with respect to the stacking unit 20b. Further, the stacked banknote pushing members 45a, 45
When the pushing out of the stacked banknotes S1 by b is completed, the stacked banknote pushing members 45a and 45b immediately retreat the lower chuck raising regulating members 48a and 48b from the elevating range.

In the second embodiment having such a configuration, the control unit 15 binds the stacked banknotes S1 held by the chuck member 51 at the lower limit position and then performs the tape catcher operation in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Unit 99 with binding tape T
And return to the standby position in which the iron member 135 is most retracted, based on the signal transmitted from the attached sheet processing machine 9, the stacked banknotes S1 currently bound
Is an integrated banknote S1 consisting only of normal banknotes or an integrated banknote S1 consisting only of damaged banknotes. When the control unit 15 determines that the stacked banknote S1 currently bound is composed of only normal banknotes, the control unit 15 keeps the demagnetized state of the solenoid 242, that is, changes the stamping surface 203a of the stamped seal body 203. The chuck member 51 is raised to the upper limit position by the ball screw 64 of the chuck elevator mechanism 52 while maintaining the state of being released from the moving range (at this time, the lower chuck raising regulating members 48a, 4).
8b are located on the opposite side of the binding unit 21), the binding tape T is brought into contact with the stamping surface 201a of the stamp body 201, and the binding tape T is stamped with the name of the financial institution and the date.

On the other hand, if the control unit 15 determines that the stacked banknote S1 currently bound is composed only of the banknote banknote, the solenoid 242 is excited, and the marking surface 203a of the banknote stamp body 203 is excited. The chucking member 51 is moved up to the upper limit position by the ball screw 64 of the chuck elevator mechanism 52, and the binding tape T is attached to the printing body. The stamping surface 201a of the stamp 201 and the stamping surface 203a of the stamped body 203 for unfit bills are brought into contact with each other, and the binding tape T is stamped with the name and date of the financial institution and stamped to indicate that it is unfit. After the marking, 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 in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

According to the second embodiment having the above-described structure, by moving the chuck member 51 by the chuck elevator mechanism 52, the binding wound around the stacked banknotes S1 sandwiched by the chuck member 51 is performed. Sealing body with tape T
Since the seal is applied by contacting the stamp 1, it is not necessary to move the seal 201, and thus a mechanism for moving the seal 201 is not required. In addition, stamped body 2 for unfit bill
03 is only swung, so that the stamped body 203
A mechanism for moving the camera becomes unnecessary. Therefore, the configuration for stamping the stamps 201 and 203 can be further reduced in size.

Note that, in the first embodiment, the stamped body 201 and the stamped body moving mechanism 2 are not provided with the stamped body 203 and the stamped body moving mechanism 204.
02 can be provided. Similarly, in the second embodiment, the stamped body 201 can be provided without providing the stamped-off body 203 and the stamped-off body moving mechanism 204.
It is also possible to provide only.
