DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a paper sheet bundling processing apparatus that performs bundling processing on paper sheets such as banknotes (banknotes).

(Prior Art) Conventionally, when banknotes are bound by a banknote binding processing device used in banknote sorting machines used in financial institutions, etc., first, the correct note binding mode is set, and only the correct notes are separated from the banknotes. Binding with a binding band is performed with the front and back sides arranged, and then the unfit notes accumulated in another storage section in the normal note binding mode are bound with a binding band in the unfit note binding mode with the front and back sides arranged separately. was.

However, with the above-mentioned conventional device, both the correct and unfit notes are bundled with only the front and back sides arranged, and since the binding band is placed at the same position in both cases, the binding band is placed at the same position. There was a problem in that it was difficult to distinguish between bundles and damaged sword bundles.

For this reason, when switching from the normal note sealing mode to the unfit note sealing mode, the operator is required to attach marks or the like for classification to a bundle of genuine notes, which is complicated.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet binding device that can clearly identify the state of bundles of paper sheets in different states.

The operation of the apparatus 1 having the above-mentioned configuration will be explained below, focusing mainly on the bundling process of the bundle of normal bills P 1 + the bundle of unfit bills P2.

The banknotes P inserted into the banknote inlet 3 and taken out from the banknote takeout section 5 are sequentially sent to the discriminating means 7, where
It is possible to distinguish between good notes and unfit notes. This determination result is
Sent to 0.

Each banknote P, whether it is a good note or an unfit note, which has passed through the discriminating means 7 is sent to the control unit 5.
By the operation of the second sorting gate 8b driven by the gate drive section 52 under the control of 0, the bills are guided to the left-right reversal conveyance section 11, where the correct and unfit bills are left-right reversed, that is, For example, FIG. 6(a).

As shown in (b), the image on the paper surface of the banknote P is divided into a state in which the image is on the left side for a good note, and a state in which the image is on the right side in a damaged note, and the third sorting game) 10a, It is transported to the fourth distribution gate 10b.

The fourth sorting gate 10b is driven by a gate driving section 52 under the control of the control section 50 to sort according to whether the bills are good or unfit. The tickets are stacked while being distributed to the other stacking section 21b.

The correct bills sorted to the impeller 19 in one of the accumulation sections 21a are sequentially accumulated in the accumulation chamber 45 by the rotation of the impeller, and are transferred to the accumulation moving carrier 22, for example, by one
00 sheets are transferred to one banding section 40a.

The other accumulation section 21. The stacking process and the transfer process of the unfit notes in b are the same as those described above, and the 100 unfit notes are transferred to the other banding section 40b.

The 100 regular bills sent to one banding section 40a are subjected to winding of thermal adhesive tape MT by the tape feeder 42, compression by the clamper 42, and thermal welding processing by the thermal bonding section 43, and as a result, as shown in FIG. The stack of genuine notes Pl shown in (a) is stored in the storage box 44.

The 100 unfit notes in the other banding part 40b are also subjected to the same winding, compression and heat welding process of the thermal adhesive tape MT as described above, thereby causing the loss shown in FIG. 6(b). A bundle of tickets P2 is formed and stored in the storage box 44.

In the thus obtained bundle of regular bills P l + bundle of unfit bills P2, each bill P
Since the directions of the heat adhesive tapes MT are reversed left and right, and the binding positions of the thermal adhesive tapes MT are naturally different, these can be easily identified by checking the binding positions of the thermal adhesive tapes MT.

By the way, in the above-mentioned stacking and bundling means 2, for genuine notes,
two accumulation parts 21a and 21b for processing unfit notes;
Two band sealing parts 40a and 40b are provided.

For this reason, for example, when the designated denomination is an odd denomination such as 1st class, 3rd class, etc., the order of operation of the banding parts 40a and 40b is set as follows.
When A and B, if this order of operation is determined at the beginning, in the -th processing, the processing ends at one banding part 40a as A-+B→A, and also in the second processing, A→B.
When processing is performed as shown in +A, this one banding part 40
The number of times a is processed is greater than that of the other banding part 40b,
A situation arises that shortens the product life of one of the banding parts 40a.

Therefore, a memory 50a is connected to the control unit 50 in advance, and a sensor is provided to detect the operation of the banding parts 40a, 40b, and the last used banding part 40a, 40b is stored in the memory 50a based on the output signal of this sensor. do.

Then, in the next process, the controller 50 takes in the information stored in the memory 50a, and uses a banding part other than the previously used banding part based on this information. For example, if final processing was performed in the banding section 40a last time, the banding section 40a will perform final processing this time.
Start using it from b.

By removing the fixed order of the banding parts 40a, 40b in this way, it is possible to eliminate the unbalanced frequency of use of both banding parts 40a, 40b, and it is possible to equalize the product life.

It goes without saying that the stacking parts 21a and 21b are interlocked with each other when the banding parts 40a and 40b described above operate.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the invention.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention described in detail above, with the above configuration, paper sheets can be divided and bundled in different states depending on their contents, and the state can be easily identified. It is possible to provide a paper sheet bundling processing device capable of.
