[0022]
Since the bundling devices 24a and 24b have the same configuration, the configuration of the bundling device 24a will be described as a representative.
As shown in FIG. 2, the bundling device 24a according to the present embodiment is configured integrally with a stacking device, and binds a bundle of bundles of a predetermined number, for example, 100 securities, with a band-shaped material. .
[0023]
Briefly describing the overall configuration, the binding and bundling device 24a is configured to receive the securities conveyed through the elongated rectangular plate-shaped accumulation plate 26 and the conveyance path 17, and sequentially accumulate them on the accumulation plate 26. 27, a band supply cutting mechanism 28 for supplying the band-shaped material B onto the stacking plate 26, a sweeper device 30 for pressing the grips stacked on the stacking plate 26 from above, and a curve for bending the stacked grips about the longitudinal direction thereof. The device 32, a band bending device 34 for winding the band-shaped material B from the left side of the handle, a band restraining device 36 for pressing the band B against the right side of the handle, a thermocompression bonding device 37 for thermo-compressing the band B, A handle discharging device 38 for discharging the handle from the stacking plate 26 is provided. Each of these apparatuses is supported by a support frame (not shown) of the processing apparatus 10. Moreover, the band supply cutting mechanism 28, the band bending apparatus 34, the band restraining apparatus 36, and the thermocompression bonding apparatus 37 constitute a binding part in the present invention.
[0024]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the integrated plate 26 functioning as a laminated portion is supported at its rear end portion so as to be rotatable by a support shaft 39 and is normally held in a horizontal state. The integrated plate 26 is formed with a pair of elongated holes 40 extending in the longitudinal direction thereof, and notches 41 are formed on both side edges of the tip portion.
[0025]
On both sides of the stacking plate 26, first and second guide plates 42 and 43 are provided so as to guide both side edges of the securities P and align both side edges and stack them on the stacking plate. Further, the belt supply cutting mechanism 28 includes a belt reel (not shown) around which the belt material B is wound, and has a substantially horizontal guide rail for guiding the belt material supplied from the belt reel. It is located in the vicinity of the guide plate 42. As the strip-like material B, a tape on which a pressure-sensitive adhesive that melts with heat is applied is used. Further, the band supply cutting mechanism 28 includes a rotary cutter described later for cutting the band-shaped material B into a predetermined length.
[0026]
The band-shaped material B supplied by the band supply cutting mechanism 28 is fed out onto the stacking plate 26 through a notch 45 formed at the lower end of the first guide plate 42 and further formed at the lower end of the second guide plate 43. A predetermined length is drawn out through the cutout 46 to the outside of the second guide wall 43. The notches 45 and 46 are each formed to have a width substantially equal to the width of the band-shaped material B. When the band-shaped material B is fed onto the stacking plate 26, the notches 45 and 46 are guided by these notches to prevent left and right positional deviation.
[0027]
The integrated impeller device 27 includes an impeller 50 disposed between the first and second guide plates 42 and 43 and positioned above the integrated plate 26, and an integrated motor 52 that rotationally drives the impeller. ing. The impeller 50 is configured by arranging a large number of blades extending radially and spaced apart along the circumferential direction in two rows. In addition, in order to avoid complication of drawing, these blade | wings have simplified and illustrated by showing the outer periphery with a dashed-two dotted line.
[0028]
The securities P sent through the transport path 17 are held between the blades of the rotating stacking impeller 50 and transported downward, and then discharged from between the blades to be one sheet on the stacking plate 26. It accumulates sequentially. Meanwhile, the securities P to be accumulated are guided on the side plates by the first and second guide plates 42 and 43, and are accumulated on the stacking plate 26 in a state in which these side edges are aligned. In the accumulation standby state, the accumulation plate 26 is held at the accumulation position in the horizontal state. Then, under the detection by the discriminating unit 18, the stacking process is performed until the number of securities P stacked on the stacking plate 26 reaches 100. As a result, the stacking material 26 is fed onto the fed strip-shaped material B. A bundle A composed of 100 securities P is accumulated.
[0029]
The sweeper device 30 includes an elongated plate-like sweeper 56, and a rear end thereof is rotatably supported by a support shaft 39. The sweeper 56 is rotationally driven around the support shaft 39 by a crank mechanism 57 and a sweeper motor (not shown). Three fork-shaped pressing claws 59 are fixed to the tip of the sweeper 56 and extend forward and downward. Of these pressing claws 59, the pressing claw located in the center is formed so that the amount of protrusion downward is larger than the pressing claws located on both sides.
[0030]
During the stacking process of the securities P, the sweeper 56 is held at a standby position inclined upward by 70 degrees with respect to the horizontal direction so as not to interfere with the securities. When the accumulation process end signal is received, the sweeper 56 is rotated toward the accumulation plate 26, and the pressing claw 59 is pressed against the upper surface of the bundle A on the accumulation plate 26 to pinch the bundle A between the accumulation plates. Further, the sweeper 56 is further rotated to the binding position inclined by −20 degrees with respect to the horizontal position, and the stacking plate 26, the small bundle A, and the belt-like material B are rotated to the binding position and held.
[0031]
The bending device 32 is provided below the accumulation plate 26 and functions in cooperation with the sweeper 56 to bend the handle A on the accumulation plate 26 about its longitudinal axis. That is, when the sweeper 56 is rotated to the binding position together with the collecting plate 26 and the handle A, it passes through the notch 41 formed in the collecting plate 26 and comes into contact with both the lower surface side portion of the handle A and the belt-like material B. Push the part up.
[0032]
On the other hand, since the pressing claw 62a at the center of the sweeper 56 is formed to protrude more downward than the pressing claw 62b on both sides, the grip A is sandwiched with a strong central portion and weak side edges. Accordingly, due to the interaction between the pressing claws 62a and 62b and the pressing projection 72 of the bending lever 66, the side edges of the small bundle A are pushed upward and are bent around the longitudinal axis.
[0033]
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, at the binding position, the rear end portion of the band-shaped material B extending from the right side of the small bundle A is bent upward along the right side surface of the small bundle A by the band restraint device 36. It is done. That is, the band restraint device 36 includes a restraining lever 78 provided upright in the vertical direction. The restraining lever 78 moves to the right side of the handle A when the handle A rotates together with the collecting plate 26 to the binding position. It contacts the portion of the belt-like material B extending from the side, and this portion is bent upward along the right side surface of the small bundle A.
[0034]
Further, a portion of the band-like material B that extends from the left side of the small bundle A is bent by the band bending device 34 along the left side surface of the curved small bundle and the upper surface of the pressing claw 59. The thermocompression bonding device 37 moves while pushing down the band-shaped material B from the right side of the small bundle A, and heat-bonds the band-shaped material overlapped at the stroke end from above. Then, after waiting for a specified time, it returns to the initial position. At this time, with respect to the timing of folding the left side portion of the band-shaped material B and pushing down the right side portion, the band folding device 34 is operated immediately after the thermocompression bonding device 37 starts to operate. Always bend first. A heater (not shown) of the thermocompression bonding apparatus presses the overlapping portion of the band-shaped material B and sandwiches the band-shaped material B between the pressing claws 59 of the sweeper 56 and heats it. Then, by holding the heater at the crimping position for a predetermined time, the adhesive applied to the strip B is melted, and the tips of the strip are bonded to each other.
[0035]
After the crimping process is finished, the restraint of the small bundle A by the sweeper 56 and the bending device 32 is released. As a result, the small bundle A returns to the flat state from the curved state due to its own elasticity, and as a result, the band-like material B is strongly bound to the small bundle A with an increased binding tension. After such a restraint releasing operation, the bundled bundle A is discharged from the stacking plate 26 by the discharge device 38. Thereby, the binding operation is completed.
[0036]
In the above-described bundling device 24a, the first and second guide plates 42 and 43 provided on both sides of the stacking plate 26 have an interval between the guide plates according to the bill width of the securities P to be stacked and bound. It is configured to be adjustable.
[0037]
More specifically, the first and second guide plates 42 and 43 are opposed to each other across the longitudinal central axis of the securities accumulated on the accumulation plate 26, that is, the longitudinal central axis of the accumulation plate 26. The pair of long sides facing each other across the central axis of the securities P are respectively guided. Further, the first and second guide plates 42 and 43 are supported by a link mechanism, which will be described later, so as to be movable along a direction in which they are separated from each other, that is, along a direction substantially perpendicular to the central axis of the stacking plate 26. Has been.
[0038]
As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the bundling device 24 a is arranged so that the first and second guide plates 42 and 43 are in contact with and separated from each other with the longitudinal center axis C of the accumulated securities P as a reference. An adjustment mechanism 60 is provided for adjusting the distance between the first and second guide plates according to the width of the securities to be moved and accumulated. The adjustment mechanism 60 includes a link mechanism 62 that is connected to the first and second guide plates 42 and 43 and supports the guide plates in a movable manner, and a drive unit 64 that drives the link mechanism. The adjustment mechanism 60 is supported by a base plate 66 provided substantially parallel to the first guide plate 42.
[0039]
Each of the link mechanisms 62 has a rotation support 67 having a substantially T-shape, and each rotation support is rotatable around a pivot 70 by a bracket 68 attached to the inner surface side of the base plate 66. It is supported by. These pivots 70 extend in a substantially vertical direction. The pair of rotation supports 67 are spaced apart from each other along a direction parallel to the longitudinal central axis C of the securities to be accumulated, and are disposed between the first and second guide plates 42 and 43. Yes.
[0040]
The link mechanism 62 has a pair of first links 71 each having one end fixed to the first guide plate 42 and the other end rotatably connected to the rotation support 67, and one end connected to the second guide plate 43. A pair of second links 72 fixedly connected at the other end to the rotation support 67 and a connection link 74 connecting the pair of rotation supports 67, the first and second links Extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis C. In each rotation support 67, the connection point of the first link 71 and the connection point of the second link 72 are located on both sides of the pivot 70.
[0041]
The connecting link 74 extends between the first guide plate 42 and the base plate 66 in parallel with each other, and both end portions are bent toward the first guide plate 42 and are substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal central axis C. It extends to. A long hole 74 a extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis C is formed at each end of the connecting link 74, and a rotation pin standing on the rotation support 67 is formed in the long hole. 75 is slidably engaged.
[0042]
The first and second guide plates 42 and 43 supported by the link mechanism 62 are positioned parallel to the longitudinal center axis C and spaced apart from the longitudinal center axis C by equal intervals. And the 1st and 2nd guide plates 42 and 43 are moved to the direction which mutually approaches or separates, when the rotation support body 67 rotates.
[0043]
On the other hand, the drive unit 64 of the adjustment mechanism 60 is attached to the base plate 66 and a lead screw 77 that is rotatably supported on the outer surface side of the base plate 66 by the bracket 76 and extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal central axis C. In addition, a stepping motor 80 that rotates the lead screw through a gear train 78 and a guide holder 82 that is screwed into the lead screw 77 are provided. The guide holder 82 is connected to the middle portion of the connection link 74.
[0044]
When the lead screw 77 is rotated by the stepping motor 80, the rotational motion of the lead screw is converted into a linear motion of the guide holder 82. The connecting link 74 is linearly moved by the guide holder 82 in a direction parallel to the longitudinal central axis C. Further, when the connecting link 74 moves linearly, the pair of rotating supports 67 connected to the connecting link 74 rotate in the same direction in synchronization with each other. As a result, the first and second guide plates 42 and 43 are rotated. However, according to the rotation direction of a rotation support body, it moves to the direction which mutually contacts and separates, and the space | interval between these guide plates changes.
[0045]
For example, when the connecting link 74 is moved downward in FIG. 6A by the drive unit 64, the pair of rotation supports 67 are respectively clockwise around the pivot 70 as shown in FIG. 6B. It is rotated. As a result, the first and second guide plates 42 and 43 are moved toward each other by the first and second links 71 and 72, respectively. As a result, between the first and second guide plates 42 and 43, respectively. The interval is narrowed. In this case, the movement amounts of the first and second guide plates 42 and 43 are the same and are adjusted with the longitudinal center axis C as a reference.
[0046]
In this manner, the distance between the first and second guide plates 42 and 43 can be arbitrarily adjusted by moving the connecting link 74 of the link mechanism 62 by the drive unit 64. And the space | interval between the 1st and 2nd guide plates 42 and 43 is adjusted with the adjustment mechanism 60 according to the ticket width of the securities to process, ie, so that it may correspond with a ticket width substantially.
[0047]
On the other hand, in the above-described bundling device 24a, the band supply cutting mechanism 28 is configured to be able to adjust the length of the band-shaped material B in accordance with the width of the securities P to be accumulated and bundled. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIGS. 7 to 9, the belt supply cutting mechanism 28 includes a guide rail 84 that guides the belt-shaped material B fed from a belt reel (not shown) toward the integrated plate 26, and It has a guide member 85 and is disposed along the longitudinal axis direction of the strip-shaped material B. The guide rail 84 and the guide member 85 are supported by a support bracket 86.
[0048]
The support bracket 86 is fixed to the first guide plate 42 with screws, and can move integrally with the first guide plate 42. Therefore, when the first guide plate 42 is moved, the guide rail 84 and the guide member 85 are interlocked with the first guide plate 42 in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis C of the integrated plate 26, that is, along the axial direction of the strip-shaped material B. Moved. Further, a guide rod 88 extending in parallel with the axial direction of the strip-shaped material B is attached to the support bracket 86.
[0049]
Further, the band supply cutting mechanism 28 is located on the supply path of the band-shaped material B as a cutter unit and extends in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the band-shaped material B, and a motor 91 that drives the rotary cutter. The rotary cutter and the motor 91 are attached to a support bracket 92. The support bracket 92 is slidably engaged with the guide rod 88 of the support bracket 86, and is supported so as to be movable relative to the support bracket 86 along the axial direction of the strip B.
[0050]
Further, the belt supply cutting mechanism 28 includes a rotating arm 94 for moving the support bracket 92 as a cutter moving mechanism. One end of the rotating arm 94 is rotatably supported by a bracket 95 via a first pivot 96, and the bracket 95 is attached to a fixed base plate 60. An intermediate portion of the rotation arm 94 is rotatably connected to the connection bracket 98 via the second pivot 97, and this connection bracket is attached to the first guide plate 42. Accordingly, the turning arm 94 rotates around the first pivot 96 in conjunction with the movement of the first guide plate 42.
[0051]
The other end of the turning arm 94 is rotatably connected to the support bracket 92 via the third pivot 100. Therefore, when the turning arm 94 is turned, the support bracket 92 is moved in conjunction with it, and the rotary cutter 90 on the support bracket 92 is also moved along the axial direction of the strip B.
[0052]
Here, the distance between the first pivot 96 and the third pivot 100 is set to approximately twice the distance between the first pivot 96 and the second pivot 97. Therefore, when the rotating arm 94 is rotated in accordance with the movement of the first guide plate 42, the rotary cutter 90 is moved along the axial direction of the belt-like material B by about twice the moving amount of the first guide plate 42. The Therefore, the cutting position at the end of the belt-like material by the rotary cutter 90 changes, and the length of the belt-like material B can be adjusted according to the bill width of the securities.
[0053]
For example, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the interval between the first and second guide plates 42 and 43 whose interval is adjusted in accordance with the width of the securities A1 is wider by 2d than the securities A1. A case is assumed where it is widened in accordance with the width of the securities A2. In this case, the first and second guide plates 42 and 43 are moved outward by a distance d by the adjusting mechanism 60 described above. Thereby, the interval between the first and second guide plates 42 and 43 is increased by 2d, and is adjusted to be approximately equal to the width of the securities A2.
[0054]
On the other hand, when the bundle of the securities A2 having a width of 2d wide is bound by the strip material B, it is necessary to lengthen the strip B by 4d as compared with the case of binding the bundle of the securities A1. And the length adjustment of the strip | belt-shaped material B is performed with the following operation | movement.
[0055]
As shown in FIG. 10, the band sensor 102 is attached to the second guide plate 43, and is positioned to face the supply path of the band-shaped material B. The band sensor 102 moves integrally with the second guide plate 43. Then, after the distance between the first and second guide plates 42 and 43 is adjusted, the band supply cutting mechanism 28 feeds the band-shaped material B onto the stacking plate 26, and passes through the first guide plate 42 and the stacking plate 26. Derived from the second guide plate side. At this time, after the leading end of the band-shaped material B is detected by the band sensor 102, the band supply and cutting mechanism 28 further feeds the band-shaped material B for a predetermined time and leads out the length L from the second guide plate 43. When the derived length of the strip-shaped material B when binding the securities A1 is L1, the derived length of the strip-shaped material when binding the securities A2 is set to L1 + d.
[0056]
Further, when the first guide plate moves outward by a distance d by adjusting the distance between the first and second guide plates 42 and 43, the band supply cutting mechanism 28 is interlocked with the movement of the first guide plate 42. The rotating arm 94 rotates counterclockwise around the first pivot 96. Thereby, the rotary cutter 90 is moved in the direction away from the first guide plate 42 by the distance 2d along the axial direction of the strip-shaped material B.
