The catcher 423 largely rotates around the bundle of the sheets P, and the band k is wound around the bundle of the sheets P.

Thereafter, the brake 425 is turned on, the motor 424 is stopped, and the winding is completed (steps 13 and 14). At the same time, the rotation number count t ₁ is ended (step 15).

When the winding is completed, the brake 425 is turned off and the reverse rotation operation of the motor 424 is started (step 16). Thereby, as shown in FIG. 16, the wound band k which has been wound is once rewound and tightened. At the same time as this tightening, the rotation count t ₂
Is started (step 17). This rotation count t
Reference numeral ₂ denotes an operation of counting the output (logical "1" output) of the rotation speed sensor 427, and the count value corresponds to the rotation speed of the roller 421 at the time of reverse rotation.

After a predetermined time (rewind time), the brake 42
5 is turned on and the motor 424 is stopped (step 1
8, 19, 20, 21; tightening is completed).
The end portion of the band k is sealed by a sealing device using heater heat and cut by a cutter (step 22). Then, the brake 425 is turned off (step 23). This completes the sealing.

Next, the overall operation of the sheet processing apparatus configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the operator enters the shelf 23 of the loading table 14 by the operator.
The bundle T is placed on the upper side by about 3 to 5 bundles. The shelves 23 are lowered one by one, and the bundle T is sequentially taken out from the lowermost shelf 23. The bundle T thus taken out is rotated 90 ° by the guide plate 36 to be inverted and aligned, and then the ten bundle counter 16
The number of small numbers is counted by a. By this counting, if there is any abnormality in the number of pieces, it is excluded, and if there is no abnormality, the conveyor 3
Is sent to the inspection machine 7 via the charging conveyor 70 from the buffer conveyor 55. It should be noted that the bundle T that has failed to take in is removed to the bundle elimination box 64 and then sent to the inspection machine 7.

The bundle T sent to the inspection machine 7 is separated into individual pieces and inspected one by one.
And are discharged to the receiving bundle conveyor 71.

The bundle T conveyed by the receiving bundle conveyor 71
Is packaged by the film f in the packaging device 210 in the packaging unit 200, passed through the heating furnace 300 and heated to form a package bundle. The inspected packed bundle T ′ discharged from the heating furnace 300 is sent to the bundle transport conveyor 45 of the bundle processor 1.

Then, on this bundle conveyor 45, 1
The number of bundles is inspected by the zero-bunch counter 16b, those having an abnormality are excluded, and those having no abnormality are checked. Thereafter, the bundles are rotated by 90 ° and stacked, placed on the shelf 52 of the receiving table 20, and the shelf 52 is raised every time 10 bundles are placed, and a maximum of 50 bundles are stacked. Thus, the collected bundle T 'is taken out by the operator.

As described above, according to the sheet processing apparatus according to the present embodiment, the inspected sheets are transferred to the sealing device 97.
After the small band is sealed in B, the temporary band is formed by the large band in the binding device 97D, and the package is wrapped with the film f in the packaging unit 200 and taken out. Therefore, there is no danger of the sheets falling off from the bundle, compared to the conventional case where the small band is sealed and the bundle is simply bundled into a large band.
It can be assured that no dropout occurs.

Further, the packaging unit 200 can be arranged by utilizing the space in which the receiving bundle conveyor 71 has conventionally been extended, and the packaging unit 200 can be arranged without increasing the size of the apparatus. Further, when counting the number of bundles packaged by the packaging unit 200, by weighing the bundles by the weighing machine 41 ', it is possible to reliably count the number of bundles after packaging the bundles.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be variously modified within the scope of the present invention. For example, although the packing is made tighter using a heating furnace (shrinkage tunnel), if the packing processing can be made tighter (for example, vacuum packing), a heating furnace is not necessarily required.
Further, in the present embodiment, the side surface of the package is sealed by folding, but the package may be sealed by another method (for example, vacuum packaging, four-side seal packaging, sealing by sticking a seal).

[0107]

As described above, the paper sheet packaging apparatus of the present invention and the paper sheet processing apparatus provided with the paper sheet packaging apparatus have the above-described configuration and operation. In addition, reliable sealing can be ensured without the treated paper sheets falling off.
