Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention is a method for classifying securities such as checks, stock certificates, and slips, or paper sheets such as cards into multiple types and dividing them into predetermined numbers. The present invention relates to a paper sheet processing device that collects and bundles a predetermined number of paper sheets that have been sorted and stacked, and then further separates each of the bundled paper sheets.

(Prior Art) This type of paper sheet processing device sets paper sheets, such as securities, in a supply section, takes out the set paper sheets one by one, and processes the taken out paper sheets. After performing the necessary inspection using an inspection device, as shown in Figure 1, reusable paper sheets (paper sheets that are valid and suitable for reuse, hereinafter referred to as "paper sheets") are The sorting device 1 separates paper sheets that are valid but not suitable for reuse (hereinafter referred to as unfit notes) and non-reusable paper sheets (hereinafter referred to as unfit notes). Among the paper sheets collected, the correct notes R and unfit notes N are counted, and based on the count, they are sorted and accumulated in the correct note accumulating device 2R and unfit note accumulating device 2N every predetermined number of sheets, for example, 100 sheets. The stacked good bills R and unfit bills N are conveyed by the same bundle conveying device 3 and sent to a sealing device 4.

In this sealing device 4, the accumulated good notes R and unfit notes N are
A sealing tape or the like, which is a sealing band, is wrapped around the paper to form a bundle.Then, the paper is conveyed to the unfit note stamping device 5, and the sealing tape surface of the bundle of unfit notes indicates that it is a bundle of unfit bills. The seal is now being stamped. and,
The fair and unfit bills are stored, for example, in a bill storage box (not shown), and an operator or the like distinguishes between the fair and unfit bills based on whether a sealing tape is stamped or not. .

Previously, such a device was disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 50-61162.
There is a device shown in the above publication.

However, in the conventional paper sheet processing apparatus configured in this way, the operator is required to perform the sorting work after distinguishing between good and damaged bills, which increases the burden on the operator and causes problems. I was getting used to it.

In addition, as for postal letter sorting devices, devices have been developed that bundle paper sheets and automatically sort them. (Postal items) are issued with cards that record classification information, attached to them, and then bundled with a binding belt. After the cards are bundled, they are sorted by reading the information on the cards. However, this method requires a card printing and issuing device, and requires correspondence between the paper sheets to be bundled and their destination information (sort information), resulting in complicated control.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) This invention solves the problem of the conventional apparatus in that the burden on the operator increases in sorting bundles of paper sheets into two types.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet processing device that can automatically sort paper sheet bundles that are divided into two types and sealed with a sealing band with a simple configuration.

[Structure of the idea]

(Means for Solving the Problems) In the present invention, as means for solving the above problems, a first stacking device 51 and a second stacking device 52 that stack paper sheets classified as shown in FIG. and,
a first sealing device 53 that seals the paper sheets stacked by the first stacking device and the second stacking device with a sealing band;
and a second sealing device 54, a detector 55 for detecting the characteristics of the sealing band of the paper bundles conveyed from the first sealing device and the second sealing device, and a detector 55 for classifying the paper bundles. The present invention is provided with a bundle sorting device 56 and a third stacking device 57 and a fourth stacking device 58 for respectively stacking the first and second bundles of paper sheets sorted by the bundle sorting device.

(Function) The first sealing device and the second sealing device seal using sealing bands having different characteristics, and the detector 55 detects these characteristics. Separate them. Then, they are accumulated in a third accumulation device 57 and a fourth accumulation device 58, respectively.

(Example) Hereinafter, this invention will be explained in detail using an example.

2 and 3 are block diagrams showing one embodiment of the paper sheet processing device according to this invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view showing a part of the preprocessing device forming the front stage of the paper sheet processing device. , FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a part of a post-processing device which is a downstream stage of the paper sheet processing device. First, for example, bills placed in a horizontal state are taken out one by one by vacuum suction by a take-out and conveyance device (not shown), and then conveyed to an inspection device (not shown). The inspection device performs a necessary inspection on the ticket taken out and conveyed by the takeout conveyance device. The bills that have passed through the inspection device are sorted into normal bills and unfit bills by a transport sorting device 11 shown in FIG. 2 based on the inspection results of the inspection device. The conveying and sorting device 11 includes driving or driven rollers 12,
12,... and conveyor belts 13, 13... wrapped around these rollers 12, 12,..., and sandwich the ticket P between mutually opposing surfaces of the conveyor belts 13, 13... I'm starting to do that. The conveyance sorting device 11 is provided with a sorting gate 15 which is driven and rotated by, for example, a rotary solenoid, and the sorting gate 15 rotates by being driven by, for example, a rotary solenoid. Said division gate 15 that responds
The normal notes and unfit notes are separated by driving, and the normal notes are conveyed to a first conveyance path 16 and the unfit bills are conveyed to a second conveyance path 17. Said first conveyance path 1
The genuine bills conveyed from 6 are passed to the genuine bill sorting and accumulating device 18R.
The unfit notes transported from the second conveyance path 17 are sorted into units of, for example, 100 sheets and stacked in a substantially horizontal state in the unfit note sorting and stacking device 18N. I'm starting to do that. Further, a genuine note sealing device 19R and an unfit note sealing device 19N are arranged directly below each of the genuine note sorting and accumulating device 18R and the unfit note sorting and accumulating device 18N, and the genuine note sealing device 19R is connected to the genuine note sealing device 19R. For example, 100 genuine bills stacked by the bill sorting and accumulating device 18R are sealed with yellow tape, for example, into a bundle, and the unfit bill sealing device 19N is connected to the unfit bill sorting and accumulating device. 1
For example, 100 unfit notes accumulated by 8N are sealed with green tape and made into a bundle. The fit or unfit bills, that is, the fit or unfit notes that have been made into bundles by the fit note sealing device 19R and the unfit note sealing device 19N, are carried out to the bundle conveyance device 20.
0 is adapted to convey the normal bill bundle and unfit bill bundle to a post-processing device 21 shown in FIG.

Note that the genuine note sorting and accumulating device 18R, the unfit note sorting and accumulating device 18N, the genuine note sealing device 19R, and the unfit note sealing device 19N are, for example, disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No.
The device described in the specification of No. 120608 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 56-44991) can be mentioned, but detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

In the post-processing device 21 in FIG.
2, and this conveyance device 22 is connected to the pretreatment device 2.
0, receives a bundle of good bills and a bundle of unfit bills that are conveyed at 0, clamps and conveys them vertically in the direction of arrow U in the figure,
The paper is guided through a color detector 23 to a bundle sorting device 26 consisting of a good bill gate 24, an unfit bill gate 25, and the like. The color detector 23 optically detects, for example, the color of the bundle tape of the normal bill bundle and unfit bill bundle that is being conveyed, and is connected to the conveyor device 22.
It is located in the middle of the. The genuine bill gate 24 is provided in the middle of the conveyance device 22, and the detector 2
It is activated when a yellow (regular bill bundle) detection signal is output from 3, stops the corresponding bill bundle (regular bill bundle) being conveyed, and maintains that state until the regular bill pusher 27 is activated. It's getting old. Also, the detector 23
If a green (unfit note) detection signal is output from
The valid bill gate 24 is not operated, and the conveying device 22 is configured to convey the stack of bills to the unfit bill pusher 28. Then, the genuine bill extrusion body 27 is inserted into the genuine bill gate 24.
is activated when the ticket stack is stopped, and the ticket stack, that is, the valid bill stack, is pushed out of the conveying device 22 and turned over sideways. At this time, when the next bundle of regular bills arrives, the bundle of regular bills is stacked on top of the previous bundle of regular bills by the regular bill pusher 27, and the bundle of regular bills is stacked by the regular bill bundle conveying path 29. They are transported to the device 30, where, for example, 10 pieces (10 bundles) are accumulated. The valid bill stacking device 30 temporarily places the valid bill stacks that have passed under the extrusion mechanism 30a on the vertically moving placement plate 30b by the valid bill transfer path 29, and then places the valid bill stacks on the placement plate 30b that moves up and down.
The mounting table 30c swings upward from a horizontal state due to the pressure of a valid bill stack placed on its upper surface due to upward movement.
10 stacks of genuine bills are stacked on the mounting table 30c by repeating this process one after another. Then, by protruding the extrusion body 30d of the extrusion mechanism 30a, the stacked ten stacks of regular bills are pushed out toward a mechanism (not shown) that further bundles the stacked stacks of regular bills, for example. It's getting old.

On the other hand, the unfit bill gate 25 is provided at the terminal end of the conveying device 22, and is activated when a green (unfit note bundle) detection signal is output from the detector 23, and is activated to correspond to the corresponding bill bundle (unfit note bundle) being conveyed. This state is maintained until the unfit bill pusher 28 is activated. Then, the unfit bill pusher 28 is activated when the unfit bill gate 25 stops the bundle of bills, and pushes out the bundle of unfit bills from the conveying device 22 and falls sideways, and at this time, the next bundle of unfit bills is When the bundle of unfit bills is stacked on top of the previous bundle of unfit bills by the unfit bill extruder 28, the unfit bills are stacked on top of the previous bundle of unfit bills by the unfit bill conveying path 31, and the unfit bills having the same structure as the fair bill stack stacking device 30 are collected. It is designed to be transported to a grasping and collecting device 32. A nullification device 33 is provided on the unfit bill transport path 31 in front of the unfit bill stacking device 32, and this invalidation device 33 determines, for example, the security number or stock certificate for the unfit bill bundles being conveyed. By punching a predetermined numbered part, the unfit note cannot be reused.

Note that as the fair bill stacking device 30, the unfit bill stacking device 32, and the invalidation device 33, for example, the device described in the specification of Japanese Patent Application No. 120608/1980 can be mentioned, but a detailed explanation thereof is given below. Omitted.

The paper sheet processing device configured in this manner has the path of the paper sheets as shown in FIG. The unfit note N is sealed with a yellow sealing tape and a green sealing tape by a normal note sealing device 19R and an unfit note sealing device 19N provided separately, respectively. and,
The genuine note sealing device 19R and the unfit note sealing device 19
The color detector 21 detects the color of the sealing tape of each bundle of bills discharged from the bank, and based on the detection signal from the color detector 21, the bundle sorting device 26 automatically sorts the bills into good and damaged bills. I try to separate them.
Therefore, even if each ticket bundle is conveyed tilted or upside down, the color detector 21 can only detect the color at a part of the sealing tape, which is colored all over. It is possible to detect whether the note is a valid note or an unfit note.

Therefore, there is no need to ensure that each ticket bundle is always kept in a fixed position while being conveyed, and
There is no need for the detector to scan in order to detect the specific mark made on the sealing tape of the ticket bundle.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, the first paper sheet bundle and the second paper sheet bundle are respectively sealed with a sealing band.
Since the paper sheet bundles can be automatically sorted, the burden on the operator is greatly reduced.
