2. Description of the Related Art As a banknote handling machine for stacking and binding a predetermined number of banknotes, there is one already disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-219419. This banknote processing machine is created by stacking the banknotes, which have been discriminated one by one, by the counting means until they reach a predetermined number for bundling, and then winding a bundling tape around the predetermined number of the banknotes to be bundled. The bundled banknotes are stored in the in-machine storage unit. The binding tape for binding the accumulated banknotes is serially numbered for each bundled banknote unit by the printing unit provided on the way of feeding the binding tape. Is printed, and when some trouble occurs in the bundling process, the banknotes to be bound next are serially numbered.

By the way, the obstacles that occur in such a bill processing machine include counting mistakes in addition to binding mistakes caused by the binding tape and jams that occur during the transportation of bills. Especially, regarding this counting error,
Since the processor only counts and cannot determine whether the count value is accurate, the operator confirms the number of banknotes to be set in advance for a series of bundling processing, and during the series of bundling processing In addition, the processor counts the value counted to determine whether or not a counting error has occurred. Then, when the operator confirms the counting error on the processor side in this way, there is a possibility that defective bundled banknotes bundled with an incorrect number are present among the bundled banknotes created in the series of binding processing. However, since it is not possible to specify which defective banknotes are actually bad, at least the banknotes created in the bundling process in which a counting error has occurred are collected. All must be collected and processed again. However, like the above-described conventional banknote handling machine, by simply printing the serial numbers on the binding tape of the bundled banknotes, the bundled banknotes created by the series of bundling processing in which a counting error occurs Since it was not possible to specify which number was used, it sometimes took longer than necessary to collect the item. Moreover, in the case of a banknote handling machine configured to store and store the created bundled banknotes according to denominations, the number of the bundled banknotes to which the bundled banknotes have been distributed will be different, and the time required for further collection will be long. There is a risk of becoming. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to
Even when a counting error is confirmed in the process related to the creation of bundled banknotes, it is possible to provide a banknote processing machine that can easily and quickly collect the bundled banknotes created by the series of binding processes related to the counting error. is there.

As shown in FIG. 2, the control section 40 includes an operation section 137, which is operated by an operator in addition to the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 1 and the banknote binding machine 2, and an external unit such as an operator. A display unit 138 including a screen for performing a corresponding display is connected. Incidentally, reference numeral 139 in FIG.
Is an I / O interface for connecting the counting sensors 136 a to 136 d and the printing units 129 and 142 of the banknote binding machine 2 to the control unit 40. The control unit 40
When the passage of one banknote is detected by the counting sensor 136a, the number of stacked sheets of the first stacking unit 120a is incremented by one, and similarly,
The number of stacked sheets of the second stacking unit 120b is incremented by 1 by the detection of the counting sensor 136b, and the number of stacked sheets of the third stacking unit 120c is incremented by 1 by the detection of the counting sensor 136c.
Is detected, the number of stacked sheets in the fourth stacking unit 120d is incremented by one.

In the banknote handling machine having the above-described structure, the banknotes inserted into the deposit section 11 are introduced into the temporary storage sections 27 to 30 according to the denomination while the banknote discrimination section 12 discriminates and counts the banknotes into the deposit and withdrawal storage section 31. ~ 34 to store the normal deposit processing, and the bill withdrawal storage section 31 ~ 34 from the withdrawal section 20 while performing withdrawal discrimination section 35 and the withdrawal section 20 withdrawing from the banknote withdrawal processing,
Only the bills that have been judged to be proper while being discriminated by the deposit discriminating unit 12 while being fed into the depositing unit 11 are conveyed to the bill binding machine 2 and bound by the bill binding machine 2 to bundle storing and feeding units 122a to 122a.
The depositing and bundling process for storing in 22d, and the bills from the deposit and withdrawal storing units 31 to 34, which are classified by denomination, are fed out, and the dispenser discriminating unit 35 discriminates the bills, and only those that are determined to be proper are conveyed to the bill binding machine 2. In-machine bundling processing for bundling by the banknote bundling machine 2 to be stored in the bundling and feeding sections 122a to 122d, and bundling withdrawing bundling banknotes S2 from the bundling and feeding sections 122a to 122d of the banknote bundling machine 2 to the outside of the machine Processing and will be mainly executed.

In the following, the above-mentioned deposit bundling process will be described together with the control contents of the control unit 40. When an operator normally sets a known number of banknotes to the depositing unit 11 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 1 and an input operation is performed on the operation unit 137 to select a depositing and bundling process, and an input operation is instructed to be executed, control is performed. Part 40 receives this and
A series of depositing and bundling processing (a series of processing for continuously creating as many banknotes S3 as possible for the set banknotes after one execution instruction input operation and ending when the banknotes cannot be created) Let it start. That is, the banknotes set in the deposit unit 11 are separated one by one, taken into the machine body, and conveyed through the main conveyance path 10, and the genuineness or denomination of the taken bills is discriminated by the deposit discriminating unit 12, and As a result, after only the banknotes determined to be proper are sorted by the front and back arranging section 18, the banknotes are directly passed through the branching and conveying section 22 without passing through the temporary storage unit 4 and the storage section unit 5. Introduce to 2. In addition, the banknotes that are not judged to be proper by the deposit discriminating unit 12 are rejected by the deposit rejecting unit 17.

Subsequently, the banknotes are bundled in the banknote bundling machine 2 in the bundle storing and feeding units 122a to 122d corresponding to their denominations.
Any one of the stacking units 120a to 120d capable of being stored can be transported and stacked. At this time, the stacking units 120a to 120d
The counting sensors 136a to 136d provided at the entrance of the banknotes detect the passage of the bills, and the control unit 40 stacks the bills on the stacking units 120a to 120d based on the detection results from the counting sensors 136a to 136d. The number of accumulated cells is counted individually.

On the other hand, the control unit 40 includes a counting sensor 136a.
~ 136d based on the detection results from each stacking unit 120a
To 120d, the number of stacked sheets is monitored, and the stacking unit 120a
When the number of stacked banknotes reaches a predetermined number (100 sheets) to be bound in any of 120 d to 120 d, the insertion of more banknotes into this is regulated, and for the stacked banknote S1 reaching this predetermined number, For identification purposes, a bundle number different from that of other bundled banknotes S2 is assigned, the bundled number is stored in a memory (not shown), and the stacked banknotes S1 are attached to the chuck member 1.
36a to 136d, and holds it by moving it downward, causing the assigned bundle number to be printed on the binding tape T by a corresponding one of the printing units 129 and 142, and the printed binding tape T is bound to the binding unit. 121, 141 corresponding to the bundled banknotes S1 wrapped around the stacked banknotes S1 and cut and heat-bonded.
Create 2. Here, in the printing units 129 and 142, as shown in FIG. 3, the binding tape T has a bundle number T1 and a creation date T.
2 and the created bank name T3 are printed, and the printing positions on the binding tape T by the printing units 129 and 142 are set so that the printing appears on the front of the bundled banknote S2 around which the binding tape T is wound. Has been done. The bundle number is, for example, a serial number that is incremented by 1 in the order of allocation.

As described above, after the number of bills to be bound is regulated by reaching the predetermined number to be bound by any one of the stacking units 120a to 120d, the bundle storing and feeding unit 12
The banknotes are introduced into the other stacking units 120a to 120d that can be stored in the same denominations 2a to 122d. In addition, as described above, the stacking units 120a to 120d
No banknotes are introduced into the other stacking units 120a to 120d before being stacked in any of the stacking units and before reaching a predetermined number of sheets to be bound.

The control section 40 conveys the bundled banknotes S2 created as described above to the corresponding denominations of the bundle storing and feeding sections 122a to 122d to store the bundled banknotes S2, and at the same time, is assigned to the bundled banknotes S2. The location data indicating the storage destination of the bundle storing / feeding units 122a to 122d in association with the bundle number is stored in the memory. Thus, the bundle number unique to this bundled bill S2 is printed on the binding tape T of this bundled bill S2, and this bundle number and this bundled bill S
The location data indicating the storage location of No. 2 are stored in the memory in association with each other. The control unit 40 takes in the banknotes set for the series of depositing and bundling processing into the banknote bundling machine 2 and performs the above processing as much as possible to create a banknote bundle S2.

Then, the depositing section 11 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 1, the transport paths 10 and 116 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 1 and the banknote tying machine 2.
Based on the detection result of the sensor provided in the inside of the stacking unit 120,
When it is confirmed that there are no banknotes to be processed on the upstream side of a to 120d, the banknotes are taken in and conveyed. Then, when the storage operation of all the bundled banknotes S2 is completed, it is determined that the depositing and bundling process is completed. As described above, the control unit 40 assigns different bundle numbers to all the bundled bills S2 created by the series of deposit bundling processing and prints on each binding tape T, while the series of deposit bundles S2. The bundle numbers of all bundled bills S2 created by the process are stored in the memory, and the location data, which is the destination after the bundled bills S2 of each bundle number are bundled, are associated with these bundle numbers and the series of deposit and bundle Store in memory for all bundle numbers of the process.

Here, from the count values of the counting sensors 136a to 136d, in the state before the accumulated banknotes S1 accumulated in any one of the accumulating sections 120a to 120d reach the predetermined number of bundling, the depositing bundling process is completed. If it is determined that the banknotes S3 that have not reached the predetermined number of bindings are stacked in any of the stacking units 120a to 120d without being stored in the fraction storage units 123 and 140. Let it stand by.

When it is determined that the deposit bundling process is completed as described above, the control unit 40 performs one input operation for instructing execution of the deposit bundling process by the operation unit 137 immediately before the end of the deposit bundling process. Regarding the series of deposit bundling processing until it is determined that the deposit bundling processing is completed, the counting sensors 136a to 136d of all the stacking units 120a to 120d.
The display unit 138 displays the total number of processed sheets, which is obtained by adding the values counted in.

The operator compares the known number of bills set with the displayed total number of bills to be processed. If they are different from each other, it is determined that a counting error has occurred, and the operation unit 137 cancels the operation. input. When you receive this,
The control unit 40 determines that a counting error has occurred in the series of deposit bundling processing, and associates all the bundle numbers stored for the series of deposit bundling processing stored in the memory (not shown) with each of these bundle numbers. The location data is read out, and the bundle number and the location data are displayed on the display unit 138 in a state of being associated with each other, and printed out on paper as necessary. In addition, when receiving the input of the cancel operation, the control unit 40, when the fractional bills S3 that are less than the predetermined number to be bundled in the series of deposit and bundling processing are accumulated in the accumulating units 120a to 120d, the fractional bills. The presence of S3 is also displayed on the display unit 138.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a "convergence banknote", which indicates that there is a reversal banknote due to a counting error, is displayed in the uppermost row, and a title "reversal banknote" is displayed in the lower row. The "convergent banknote number" is displayed and all the bundle numbers stored for the series of deposit and bundling processing are displayed on the rear side. Also, in the lower section, the title "1st
"Bundle storing and delivering section" is displayed and all the bundle numbers associated with the place data indicating the first bundle storing and delivering section 122a for the series of depositing and bundling processing are displayed on the rear side thereof, and the title "the "2 bundle storing and delivering section" is displayed, and all the bundle numbers associated with the place data indicating the second bundle storing and delivering section 122b for the series of deposit and bundling processing are displayed on the rear side thereof, and the title " The "third bundle storing and delivering section" is displayed, and all the bundle numbers associated with the location data indicating the third bundle storing and delivering section 122c are displayed on the rear side thereof, and as a title at the bottom thereof. The “fourth bundle storing and feeding unit” is displayed and the series of deposit and bundling processing is performed on the rear side of the fourth bundle storing and feeding unit 12.
Display all bundle numbers associated with the location data indicating 2d. Furthermore, in the lower section, as a title, "First
“Aggregating unit” is displayed, and one of “yes” and “none” of the fractional bill S3 in the first accumulating unit 120a is displayed on the rear side of the depositing and bundling process, and the title “Second Aggregation” is displayed on the lower side. "No." is displayed on the rear side of the series of depositing and bundling processing, and either "Yes" or "No" of the fractional bill S3 in the second stacking unit 120b is displayed on the rear side thereof, and "Third stacking unit" is displayed as a title in the lower row. Is displayed on the rear side thereof, and one of “yes” and “no” of the fractional bill S3 in the third stacking unit 120c is displayed on the rear side thereof, and “4th stacking unit” is displayed as a title in the lower row. Is displayed, and on the rear side of the series of depositing and bundling processing, any one of “Yes” and “No” of the fractional bill S3 in the fourth stacking unit 120d is displayed. .

Here, when the bundle numbers are displayed as described above, since the bundle numbers are assigned as consecutive numbers of integers, the continuous bundle numbers include the first bundle number and the last bundle number. Even if they are described and connected with "-" between them, the bundle number of the gap can be uniquely derived, and thus all the bundle numbers of the gap are also displayed.

As described above, the control unit 40 assigns a bundle number different from that of the other bundled banknotes S2 to each bundled banknote S2 by the corresponding one of the printing units 129 and 142, and causes the binding tape T to print. After the series of deposit and bundling process,
When the cancel operation is executed, all the bundle numbers stored in the series of depositing and bundling processing (that is, all the printed bundle numbers) and the location data associated with these bundle numbers are associated with each other on the display unit. Since it is displayed on 138, when the operator determines that a counting error has occurred in the series of deposit bundling processing after the series of deposit bundling processing, the bundle number displayed on the display unit 138 and the From the place data displayed in association with the bundle number, all bundled banknotes S2 created by the series of deposit and bundling processing and their destinations can be recognized.

Moreover, the control unit 40 causes the stacking unit 120a to collect the fractional bills S3 that are less than the predetermined number in the series of depositing and binding process.
~ 120d, the fractional bill S3 is left in any one of the accumulating units 120a to 120d, and the presence of the fractional bill S3 is displayed on the display unit 138. The operator has a fractional bill S3
The presence of can be recognized. As described above, when the operator determines that a counting error has occurred in the series of deposit bundling processing after the series of deposit bundling processing is completed, the operator also recognizes the presence of the fractional bill S3, and thus the stacking unit 120a
It is possible to take out the fractional bill S3 left in any one of the above-mentioned 120-120d, and the fractional bill S3 is generated in another series of depositing and bundling processing.
It can be prevented from mixing with. Therefore, even when a counting error is confirmed in the process related to the creation of the bundled banknote S2, the bundled banknote S2 and the fractional banknote S3 created in the series of deposit bundling process related to the counting error can be easily and quickly collected. You can

On the other hand, the operator judges that the counting error has not occurred when the known number of set bills and the displayed total number of processed bills match, and the operation unit 1
At 37, a confirmation operation is input. Then, the control unit 40
Is the stacking unit 120a when it is determined that the depositing and bundling process is completed.
If any of the bills S3 to 120d remains in the fraction bill S3, the fraction bill S3 is stored in the fraction storage units 123, 1.
It is stored in the corresponding one of 40 and stands by for the next series of binding processing.

It should be noted that it is possible to omit the display of the place data as opposed to the display at the time of inputting the cancel operation described above, and in this case as well, in order to display the bundle number, it was created by a series of receipt bundling processing relating to counting errors. The bundled banknotes S2 can be collected easily and quickly, but the effect is greater when the place data is also displayed. In addition, when the fraction bills S3 are not provided with the fraction storage units 123 and 140 and the fraction bills S3 are discharged to the outside each time, the presence of the fraction bills S3 may not be displayed on the display unit 138. Good.

Further, rather than the operator comparing the set number of sheets and the total number of processed sheets, the operator inputs the set number of sheets in advance by the operation unit 137 before performing the input operation for instructing execution of the deposit bundling process. Then, the control unit 40 may compare the set number of sheets input at the time of the input operation with the total number of processed sheets at the time of determining the termination of the deposit and bundling process. With such a configuration, the control unit 40 automatically performs the process after the cancel operation if the controller 40 does not input the cancel operation and the confirmation operation by the operator through the operation unit 137 and the set number of sheets and the total number of processed sheets are different. If the set number of sheets and the total number of processed sheets are the same, the processing after the confirmation operation can be automatically performed. In this case, if the set number of sheets and the total number of processed sheets are different, the control unit 40 may cause an alarm to be generated by an alarm generating means (not shown). It should be noted that the bundle number and location data relating to the series of deposit bundling processing stored in the memory are erased when the next series of deposit bundling processing is started, whereby the result of the latest series of deposit bundling processing is displayed on the display unit 138. Will always be displayed.

Next, the in-machine binding process will be described. Since this banknote handling machine has a structure in which the banknote tying machine 2 is additionally provided with the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 1, any one of the denomination-based deposit / withdrawal storage sections 31 to 34 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 1 is full. In such a case, the bills are fed out while counting from the full ones of the deposit / withdrawal storage units 31 to 34 by denomination, and the bills discriminated by the withdrawal discriminating unit 35 and determined to be proper are conveyed to the bill binding machine 2. The banknote bundling machine 2 is used for bundling, and a bundle storing and feeding section 122a
In-machine bundling processing may be performed in which the items are stored in corresponding ones of ~ 122d, and in this case as well, a counting error may occur. When a counting error occurs in such an in-machine bundling process and a defective banknote is created, this counting error is not found at the time of the series of in-machine bundling process, and the defective banknote is dispensed out of the machine. There may be a case where a defective bundled banknote is found, for example, when some counting opportunity occurs after the operation.

The control contents of the control unit 40 corresponding to such a case are as follows. When any one of the money type deposit / withdrawal storage units 31 to 34 of the bill depositing / dispensing machine 1 becomes full, the control unit 40 receives an output from a sensor (not shown) that detects fullness, and the control unit 40 receives the fullness. A series of in-machine bundling process for releasing the (after the control unit 40 receives an output from a sensor (not shown) that detects fullness, a predetermined number of banknotes are fed out to release the fullness On the other hand, a bundle of banknotes S3 is continuously created, and a series of processing until the end when the banknote S3 cannot be created is started. First,
For identifying the series of in-machine bundling processing, a processing number different from that of the other series of in-machine bundling processing is assigned, the processing number is stored in a memory (not shown), and the deposit / withdrawal storage units 31 to 34 are full. From the detected ones, the bills are conveyed one by one through the main conveyance path 10 while counting, and the double feeding etc. are discriminated by the withdrawal discrimination section 135, and only the bills judged to be proper as a result are The banknote binding machine 2 is introduced by a predetermined number of sheets. Subsequently, in the banknote binding machine 2, the stacking units 120a to 120 that can be stored in the bundle storing and feeding units 122a to 122d according to the denomination.
It will be transported to any one of d and accumulated.
In addition, the banknotes that are not determined to be proper by the dispensing discriminating unit 35 will be rejected by the dispensing rejecting unit 37,
The control unit 40 subtracts the number of rejected sheets from the number of banknotes sent out from the ones in which the money type deposit / withdrawal storage units 31 to 34 are detected to be full.

The control unit 40 then controls the counting sensor 136.
based on the detection results from a to 136d.
a-120d, the number of stacked sheets is monitored, and the stacking unit 120
In any one of a to 120d, when a predetermined number of bills to be bound is reached, further bills are regulated from being inserted into this, and the accumulated bills S1 reaching this predetermined number are further identified for identification. A stack number different from that of the stacked banknote S1 is assigned, and the stack number is stored in a memory (not shown) in association with the processing number of the series of in-machine bundling processing, while the stacked banknote S1 is held by the chuck members 131 and 132. The bundle number assigned to the printing unit 12
9, 142 is printed on the binding tape T, and the printed binding tape T is bound by the binding portions 121, 1
A bundle of banknotes S2 is produced by winding and cutting the stacking banknotes S1 with the corresponding one of 41 and thermally adhering.

On the other hand, as described above, the stacking units 120a-12
After controlling the insertion of more banknotes by reaching the predetermined number of sheets to be bound with any one of 0d, the stacking section 120a to 122d to 122d which can be stored in the same denomination. The banknotes are introduced into another one of 120d in the same manner as the depositing and binding process.

The control unit 40 conveys the bundled banknotes S2 created as described above to the corresponding one of the bundle storing and feeding units 122a to 122d and stores the bundled banknotes S2, and the bundled banknotes S2 assigned to the bundled banknotes S2. The location data indicating the storage destination of the bundle storing / feeding units 122a to 122d in association with the number is stored in the memory. In this way, the bundle number unique to this bundled banknote S2 is printed on the binding tape T of this bundled banknote S2, and this bundled number and this bundled banknote S2.
The processing number indicating the series of in-machine bundling processing that has been created and the location data indicating the storage destination of this bundled banknote S2 are stored in the memory in association with each other.

When the bundled banknotes S2 stored in the bundle storage / feeding units 122a to 122d are to be dispensed out of the machine in the subsequent processing, the control unit 40 sets the bundled numbers attached to the bundled banknotes S2. Associated location data (bundle storing and feeding unit 122
a to place data indicating the storage destination of the bundle storing / feeding unit 122d) is replaced with the place data indicating that the money has been paid out of the machine and stored.

The control section 40 takes in the bills sent out for a series of in-machine binding processing into the bill binding machine 2 and performs the above processing as much as possible. And the deposit part 1 of the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 1
1, each banknote pay-in / pay-out device 1 and each transport path 1 of the banknote binding machine 2
When it is confirmed from the detection results of the sensors provided in 0, 116, etc. that there are no banknotes to be processed on the upstream side of the stacking units 120a to 120d, the banknotes are taken in and conveyed.

As described above, the control section 40 assigns a bundle number different from that of other bundled banknotes S2 to all bundled banknotes S2 created by a series of in-machine bundling processing, and prints them. A common processing number is assigned to all the bundled banknotes S2 for a series of in-machine bundling processing and stored in the memory, and the bunch numbers of all the bundled banknotes S2 created by the series of in-machine bundling processing are associated with the processing number. Location data which is a destination after bundling of the banknote bundle S2 of each bundle number in association with these bundle numbers (indicating one of the bundle storing and feeding parts 122a to 122d and already discharged from the machine). Is stored in memory for all bundle numbers. It should be noted that this series of in-machine bundling processing ends without displaying the total number of processed sheets on the display unit 138 as in the deposit bundling processing described above.

On the other hand, the operator determines that the bundled banknote S
When a defective bundled banknote is found due to some counting opportunity for 2, the bundle number printed on the binding tape T of the defective bundled banknote is input in the operation unit 137. Upon receiving this, the control unit 40 retrieves and reads out the processing number associated with the bundle number from a memory (not shown), and associates all the bundle numbers associated with the processing number with these bundle numbers. The location data is retrieved and read out, and the bundle number and the location data are displayed on the display unit 138 in a state of being associated with each other. At this time, in addition to the one shown in FIG. 4, the display is made to display, for example, the “out-of-machine-disbursed bundled banknote number” at a position between the “fourth bundle storing and feeding section” and the “first stacking section”. At the same time, among the bundle numbers associated with the processing number, all the bundle numbers whose location data indicate that the location data has been dispensed are displayed on the rear side.

As described above, the control unit 40 assigns a bundle number different from that of other bundled banknotes S2 to each bundled banknote S2 by either of the printing units 129 and 142, and causes the binding tape T to print. When the bundle number of is input, the process number associated with the bundle number is read out, and all bundle numbers associated with the process number and the location data associated with these bundle numbers are associated with each other. , Is displayed on the display unit 138 and is printed out on paper as necessary. Therefore, after another series of bundling processing (deposited bundling processing or in-machine bundling processing) is performed, the operator performs a series of past in-machine bundling processing relating to the bunch banknote S2 from the bunch banknote S2 discharged outside the machine, for example. When it is determined that a counting error has occurred in the bundled banknote S2, the bundled number of the bundled banknote S2 is input, so that the bundled banknote S2 associated with the bundled banknote S2 created by the series of in-machine bundling processing related to the bundled banknote S2 And from the display of the place data, all the bundled banknotes S2 created by the series of in-machine bundling processing and their destinations can be recognized.

Therefore, even if a counting error in the previous bundling process is confirmed after another series of bundling process is executed, the bundled banknote S2 created by the series of in-machine bundling process related to the counting error. Can be easily and quickly recovered.

In the in-machine bundling process, the control section 40 counts exactly the number of banknotes, which is the number of bundling sheets × N (integer), from the ones in which the bundling and feeding sections 122a to 122d are full, and the banknote bundling machine. Since the fractional bill S3 is basically not generated in the stacking units 120a to 120d, when a counting error occurs in the machine, the fractional bill S3 is transferred to any of the stacking units 120a to 120d. Can occur. In such a case, the control unit 40 causes the banknote handling machine to be in a stopped state, and hence the subsequent operations are not performed until the operator recognizes the existence of the fractional banknote S3 and takes a countermeasure. It becomes less efficient.

Therefore, in the control unit 40, when a fractional number bill S3 is generated in any of the stacking units 120a to 120d in spite of the fact that just the number of bills from the bill depositing / dispensing machine 1 have been sent to the bill binding machine 2. Assigns to this fractional bill S3, like the regular bundled bill S2, a different bundle number from the other bundled bills S2 for identification, and stores the bundle number in a memory (not shown) for the series of in-machine binding processes. The bundle numbers are stored in association with the numbers, and the assigned bundle numbers are printed by the printing units 129 and 142.
The corresponding fraction of the banknotes S3 is printed on the bundling tape T by the bundling tape T to bind the fractional banknotes S3 in the corresponding bundling units 121 and 141 to form a fractional banknote, while the fractional banknotes are stored. , 140 corresponding to any one of the banknotes, 140, and stored, and further stores location data indicating a storage destination of the fraction storage units 123, 140 in association with the bundle number assigned to the fraction bundled banknotes. Remember.

As described above, the fractional bill S3 stacked in any of the stacking units 120a to 120d is less than the predetermined number.
In addition, the binding tape T is wound by the corresponding binding units 121 and 141 and bound to form a fractional bundle banknote, and the control unit 40
Handles the fractional bundle banknotes as bundled banknotes S2, prints the fractional numbers on the fractional banknotes, and then stores the fractional storage units 123, 14
It will be stored in one of 0. Therefore, even if a fractional bill S3 is generated in the in-machine bundling process, the subsequent operations can be performed without stopping the bill processing machine. Moreover, like the bundled banknote S2, the bundled number is stored in association with the processing number, and the location data is stored in association with the bundled number, so that the collection is facilitated.

In this case, in addition to the display shown in FIG. 4, in addition to the display shown in FIG. 4, for example, between the "fourth bundle storing and feeding section" and the above-mentioned "banknote number which has been dispensed out of the machine", the title is "first". Among the bundle numbers associated with the processing numbers of the series of in-flight binding processes, the "fraction storage unit" and the "second fraction storage unit" are displayed vertically and the rear side of the "first fraction storage unit" is
The associated place data displays all the bundle numbers indicating the first fraction storage unit 123, and the associated location of the bundle numbers associated with the process number is displayed behind the “second fraction storage unit”. The data will display all bundle numbers indicating the second fraction storage unit 140. In addition, the control unit keeps the processing number, the bundle number, and the location data of all the series of in-machine binding processing, which are sequentially stored in the memory, until the predetermined erasing operation is input, in order to maintain the stored state. It has become. Here, as the predetermined erasing operation,
There is an erasing operation input in the operation unit 137, an operation of switching the main power supply of the banknote handling machine from ON to OFF, or the like.

Here, in the above, the control unit 40
When starting a series of in-flight bundling processes, a process number different from that of other in-flight bundling processes is assigned to the series of in-flight bundling processes and stored in a memory (not shown) for identification. However, in addition to this, this processing number is printed by the corresponding printing units 129 and 142 on the binding tape T of all the bundled banknotes S2 bundled by the series of in-machine binding processing together with each different bundle number. You may do it.

In this case, when the operator finds a defective bundled banknote due to some counting opportunity for the dispensed bundled banknote S2, the processing number printed on the binding tape T of the defective bundled banknote S2. When the operation unit 137 receives this, the control unit 40 retrieves and reads out all bundle numbers associated with the process number and the location data associated with each bundle number, The bundle number and the location data are displayed on the display unit 138 in a state of being associated with each other, and printed out on paper as necessary. At this time, in addition to the above-mentioned display, the processing number may be displayed. Even with this configuration, the same effect as described above can be exhibited.

In the above, the case where the counting error is not confirmed on the banknote processing machine side has been described. For example, in the deposit bundling processing, the deposit discriminating section 12 and in the in-machine bundling processing, the withdrawal discriminating section 35, respectively. The banknote processing machine side can detect the banknotes when it is determined that the counting result is different from the value (total number of processed sheets) counted by the counting sensors 136a to 136d. In some cases, a counting error may occur, and in such a case, the banknote processing machine may detect the counting error.

Further, there is a possibility that another series of bundling processes (deposit bundling process or in-machine bundling process) may be executed without noticing the counting error occurring in the series of deposit bundling process at the time of the process. In the bundling process as well, similar to the in-machine bundling process, the control unit 40 stores a different process number from each of the other series of bundling processes (deposited bundling process and in-machine bundling process) for each series of deposited money bundling process. The bundle number of the bundled banknotes S2 bundled by a series of depositing and bundling processing for each processing number in association with the processing number is stored and associated with each bundle number at the destination after bundling the bundled banknotes S2 of each bundle number. When certain bundle data is stored and one bundle number is input, the processing number associated with the bundle number is read out, and the bundle number associated with the processing number and the bundle numbers are associated. Displayed on the display unit 138 in a state of being associated with the created place data, or the control unit 40 performs another series of bundling process (deposit bundling process and in-machine bundling process) for each series of deposit bundling process. Different processing numbers are stored and the processing numbers are printed on the corresponding binding tape T by the corresponding one of the printing units 129 and 142, and are associated with each processing number, and a series of receipt bundling processing for each processing number. Stores the bundle number of the bundled banknotes S2 bundled by, and stores the location data which is the destination after the bundled banknotes S2 of each bundle number are bundled in association with each bundle number, and one processing number is input. Then, the bundle number associated with the process number and the location data associated with these bundle numbers can be displayed on the display unit 138 in the associated state.
