Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] This invention involves inspecting paper sheets such as banknotes and other securities one by one and subjecting them to predetermined processing, and then classifying them based on the inspection results. The present invention relates to a nine-sheet processing device equipped with a device for stacking and resealing.

゛ [Technical background of the invention and its problems] This type of paper sheet processing device automatically processes, for example, when a bundle of banknotes (hereinafter simply referred to as notes) such as banknotes is inserted into the main body of the processing device. The banknotes are removed from the bag and the banknotes are taken out one by one for inspection, etc., and then they are classified and classified based on the results of the inspection.
There are some that perform processing such as accumulation.

To explain this a little more concretely, for example, a banknote is 1
Each sheet of 10 sheets is tied together with a wrapping band such as a paper band to form a sealed bundle, and 10 pieces are further tied together with a large wrapping band to form a large bundle. When the large bundle in such a state is put into the conveying means and sent into the main body of the processing device, the cutter of the pre-processing device cuts out the large band of the large bundle and separates it into 10 banded bundles. The sealing bands of the sealing bundle are cut out one after another, and the stacked sheets of 100 sheets (hereinafter simply referred to as unsealing bundles) are received one after another by a paper sheet supply means and conveyed to a take-out device.

Then, the take-out device takes out the 100 tickets supplied from the supply means from the unsealed bundle one by one, starting from the topmost layer, and sends them to the inspection department, where the inspection department determines whether the tickets are good or not. ”
The products are inspected for authenticity, authenticity, etc., and are sorted based on the inspection results and accumulated in a predetermined accumulation section.

Then, the nine sheets accumulated in the stacking section are again bound by the sealing device in 100 sheets each with a sealing band, and the sheets are then dropped and discharged to the large-bundle sealing device for large-scale processing. They are tied together in a band and made into a large bundle.

However, the conventional chute section, in which the bundles are dropped and discharged into the large bundle sealing device, has a structure as shown in Fig. 4.
The sealing grip P was freely falling toward the inside of the chute 80.

However, in such a chute structure, as shown in FIG. 5, if the binding bundle P bound by the binding band H is an accumulation of wrinkled paper sheets, the binding will occur at both longitudinal ends. The chute 80 is opened thicker than the binding part of the band, and as shown in FIG. 6, the upper half 81 of the chute 80 has a tapered wall surface on one side that expands upward, and the lower half 82 is a tube narrower than the upper end opening. When the sealing tab P hits the inner wall surface 80h due to spatial restrictions, some of the paper sheets at both ends of the sealing tab P are turned over and the top is υ, and the chute 8
There was a problem that it was easy to get stuck in the middle of 0.
