In addition, in the vicinity of each of the branch points A and B, a switching blade (not shown) for changing the conveyance direction of the banknote is provided, and operation control is performed by the controller 50 described later.

As shown in FIG. 5, the four integrated accumulators 6a to 6d are arranged side by side in the up-down direction, and these temporary accumulators 6a to 6d have the same structure. Therefore, the temporary integration section 6a will be described below as an example.

The banknote conveyed by the conveying path 3d enters into the integrated plate 21 by the assignment gate 27 of the temporary accumulator 6a, and the banknote which penetrated into the temporary accumulator 6a is hit by the tooth | wheel 20 which beats. The rear part is fitted and is integrated on the integrated plate 21.

In addition, about the banknote which invades afterwards, it accumulates on the banknote accumulated on the integrated board 21 by the same operation | movement.

The banknote which entered the temporary accumulator 6a is not only hit by the tooth 20, but also has the longitudinal position by the longitudinal positioning mechanism 22 provided in one side of the temporary accumulator 6a shown in FIG. The position in the short direction can be neatly trimmed by the short direction positioning mechanism 23 provided on the front end side of the temporary integration part 6a.

The longitudinal positioning mechanism 22 includes a motor 22a capable of rotating in both normal and reverse directions, and a positioning member 22c such as a rod or plate connected to the motor via a connecting member 22b. By rotating the positioning member 22c by the motor 22a with the timing to the detection signal of the entrance sensor (not shown) which detects the banknote coming, it orientates by pressing the banknote on the reference surface 25 provided on the opposite side. .

Moreover, the short-directional positioning mechanism 23 is comprised by the rod-shaped member pressed by the press means, such as the torsion spring which is not shown in figure, and arrange | positions by pushing the integrated banknote to the entrance opening side.

When the banknote is accumulated on the integrated plate 21 and the accumulation height exceeds the reference value by a height sensor (not shown), the integrated plate 21 automatically descends to expand the space of the temporary accumulator 6a. By the operation, the stacking can be stably performed even if the stacking height varies depending on the state of bills resulting from fine wrinkles, creases, and the like.

The pressing plate 24 is provided on the upper side of the integrated plate 21 so that the pressing plate 24 is waiting on the upper end of the temporary accumulator 6a during the accumulation of the bank notes on the integrated plate 21, and the banknotes are sequentially entered. It does not interfere with entry.

When a predetermined number of bound sheets (100 sheets) of bills are accumulated on the stacking plate 21 of the temporary stacking unit 6a, the allocation gate 27 is operated without inputting bills, and the bills of the 101st sheet or later are temporarily suspended. It is controlled to accumulate in any one of the accumulators 6b-6d.

In the temporary accumulator 6a in which the entry of the banknote has stopped, the integrated plate 21 is raised, and the press plate 24 is lowered to insert the banknote.

By this operation, the thickness of banknotes having different stacking heights is made constant according to the state of banknotes such as fine wrinkles, and it is easy to pass them to the moving mechanism 9.

The bill inserted by the integrated plate 21 and the presser plate 24 allows the hand portion of the moving mechanism 9 to be described later to enter the temporary accumulator 6a from the short-directional positioning mechanism 23 side and take it out.

In addition, since the temporary accumulators 6b to 6d have the same structure as the temporary accumulator 6a, it is possible to position, accumulate, and insert bank notes in the same manner as the temporary accumulator 6a.

The conveyance part 9 is equipped with the banknote clamp part 30, the clamp part moving means 31, and the lifting means 32 as shown in FIG.

The banknote clamp part 30 has clamp claws 35a and 35b which open and close in the up-and-down direction, and this banknote clamp part 30 is mounted on the clamp part moving means 31, and clamped from the temporary accumulators 6a-6d. When clamping and extracting banknotes by hooks 35a and 35b, the clamp unit moving means 31 pushes the clamp unit 30 against the temporary stacking units 6a to 6d to a position where the banknotes can be clamped to 100 sheets. It is supposed to move.

The clamp portion 30 and the clamp portion moving means 31 are raised and lowered integrally between the temporary accumulators 6a to 6d by the elevating means 32, and the temporary accumulators 6a to 100 that have completed the accumulation of 100 bills. It is supposed to be controlled to stop before any one of 6d.

Therefore, the position sensors 33a-33d are arrange | positioned in the frame of the lifting means 32 corresponding to each position of the temporary accumulators 6a-6d, for example, the banknote integrated in the temporary accumulator 6a When pulling out, the clamp part moving means 31 can be pulled up by the elevating means 32 to the position of the position sensor 33a.

The pulled-up cam 31 that is pulled up is rotatable at a position stopped by the position sensor 33a, because the clamp portion 30 needs to be fixed at this position while the clamp portion 30 pulls out the bill from the temporary accumulation portion 6a. 34 is caught by the clamp part movement means 31, and is prevented from falling.

A series of operations of the transfer section 9 will be described. For example, when the banknotes accumulated in the temporary accumulator 6a are taken out, the banknote clamp unit 30 is first moved by the elevating means 32 to the clamp unit moving mechanism 31. At the same time, the position is raised to the position of the sensor 33a, the position sensor 33a stops the rise at the position where the clamp portion moving mechanism 31 is detected, and at the same time, the stopper cam 34 is rotated and fastened to the clamp portion moving means 31.

Thereby, the clamp part moving means 31 is fixed to the position corresponding to the temporary accumulator 6a, and in this state, the clamp claws 35a and 35b of the banknote clamp part 30 are moved up and down by the clamp moving mechanism 31. It prepares to clamp 100 banknotes open, and pushes the banknote clamp part 30 in the direction of temporary accumulator 6a by the clamp moving mechanism 31 further.

The clamp claws 35a and 35b of the banknote clamp mechanism 30 that are pushed out are inserted into the openings provided on the short-directional positioning mechanism 23 side of the temporary accumulator 6a, and are integrated by the integrated plate 21 and the pressing plate 24. Hold the inserted bill up and down.

Next, when the integrated plate 21 and the pressing plate 24 are opened to release the banknotes by both, 100 bills are transferred to the banknote clamp unit 30 accordingly, and thus the banknotes are clamped by the clamp hooks 35a and 35b. The banknote clamp part 30 which catches this is returned to the position by the clamp part moving means 31. FIG.

At this time, the banknotes caught by the clamp claws 35a and 35b touch the short direction orientation mechanism 23 of the temporary stacking portion 6a. However, when the banknote clamp portion 30 is returned, the short direction orientation mechanism 23 is driven by the pressure of the banknote. Against the pressing means, the paper sheet falls in the reverse direction and the reverse direction, whereby the bill is smoothly pulled out of the temporary stacking portion 6a.

And when the banknote clamp part 30 returns to the original position, the stopper cam 34 will be caught by the clamp part moving means 31, the latch will be released, and with the paper clamp 30 which caught the banknote The clamp moving means 31 is moved up and down by the elevating means 32 to the banknote binding part 10 located at the lowest end of the movement path, and the banknotes caught by the clamp hooks 35a and 35b of the banknote clamp part 30 are the banknote binding parts. It is passed to (10).

The banknote binding part 10 consists of a roller pair and / or a belt pair etc. as shown to FIG. 8, FIG. 9, It is driven by the drive source which is not shown, The conveying means 40 which conveys a banknote bundle T in a short direction. ), A binding tape 41 such as a paper tape, a printing means 42 for printing on the tape 41, a tape supply means 43 for supplying the tape 41, and a tape 41 The binding position confirmation sensor 45 which confirms that the cutter 44 which cut | disconnects to predetermined length, and the banknote bundle T exist in the binding position on the conveyance means 40 (position of banknote bundle T shown with a broken line in FIG. 8). ), The conveyance guide 46 with the stage arrange | positioned downstream of the conveyance direction (direction of the arrow C shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 9) of the binding position of the conveying means 40, and the conveyance guide 46 with this stage. With the passage confirmation sensor 47 and the conveying means 40 which confirm the passage of the banknote bundle T which conveys a stomach. Emitter discharged paper money receiving bundle T, and it is provided with a pouring port 11 to the discharge chute 48 as a discharge conveying lead, not shown, such as joining means.

The staged conveyance guide 46 has the inclined surface 46a which inclines in the direction which narrows the space | interval of the conveyance path 40a of the conveying means 40 toward downstream of the conveyance direction C, and has the inclination surface 46a of the inclined surface 46a. The height H of the top part is 10 sheets (1mm) when the banknote is set to a new priesthood equivalent to a tube bill, for example, when the height is 10% or more and 30% or less of the predetermined number of bounds, that is, the predetermined number of bounds is 100. Is set to have a height of 30 sheets (3 mm) or less, and 20 sheets (2 mm) in this embodiment.

The binding position confirming sensor 45 and the passage confirming sensor 47 are optical sensors in which the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion are disposed so as to face each other with the conveying means 40 interposed therebetween, as shown in FIG. 9, in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. 2 is provided along the longitudinal direction of banknote bundle T, and is a sensor which detects that banknote blocked the light from a light emitting part, and detects the presence of banknote.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 10, the permeation hole 46b which permeate | transmits an optical axis is provided in the site | part which the optical axis of the passage confirmation sensor 47 of the inclined surface 46a of the conveyance guide 46 with a stage passes.

The discharge shooter 48 of this embodiment has a top and bottom two-stage configuration of the upper shooter 48a and the lower shooter 48b.

Moreover, at the edge part of the conveying means 40 side of the upper shooter 48a, a rotation mechanism (not shown) is centered between the rotational position 49a between the closed position shown by a solid line in FIG. 8, and the open position shown by a 2-dot chain line. The opening and closing plate 49 as a distribution means which rotates is provided, and has a function which divides the banknote bundle T discharged | emitted from the conveying means 40 into the upper shooter 48a and the lower shooter 48b.

In FIG. 9, 50 is a control part, and operation | movement process control of the whole banknote arranging apparatus is performed.

51a to 51d are counters and correspond one to one to the temporary accumulators 6a to 6d. For example, the number of bills accumulated in the temporary accumulator 6a is counted by the counter 51a and similarly accumulated on the temporary accumulator 6b. The number of the banknotes accumulated in the counter 51b, the number of banknotes accumulated in the temporary accumulator 6c is counted in the counter 51d, and the number of the banknotes accumulated in the temporary accumulator 6d.

52 is a storage unit, in which a program executed by the control unit 50, various data used for the control unit 50, processing results by the control unit 50, and the like, in addition to the paper type of the banknotes accumulated in the temporary accumulation units 6a to 6d, are stored. And the number of bills etc. are stored for each counted gold type.

The operation of the above-described configuration will be described.

Since the initial screen is displayed on the operation display unit 13 when the power of the apparatus is turned on, the operation mode of the initial screen is pressed with a finger to select it.

As a result, the mode setting screen is displayed on the operation display unit 13, so that the deposit mode or the rearranging mode displayed on this screen is selected.

The deposit mode is a mode in which cash is deposited and counted banknotes are processed for storing the result of counting and counting in the storage unit 52 for each transaction number, every specified division, and the like. This is a mode in which the counting result is not stored in the storage unit 52.

Next, an operation mode in the deposit mode or the grooming mode is selected.

In this operation mode, a counting mode for simply counting banknotes, a designated denomination-binding mode for bundling a specified kind of banknote, a regime classification bundling mode for binding only clean denominations while classifying denominations of a designated denomination banknote, There is a right hand sorting binding mode that binds both the clean and the dirty hand of the banknote while classifying the loss of paper money, and the selection screen for each of these operation modes is displayed on the operation display unit 3. Choose one of them.

In the counting mode, the banknote set in the inlet 1 is conveyed to the discriminating unit 2, the paper is discriminated and counted, and is discharged to the open pocket 5, and this counting mode will not be described later.

In the designated money type binding mode, the regime classification binding mode, and the right hand classification classification binding mode, it is possible to discriminate the loss of bills, but it is possible to designate the level by a numerical value indicating the degree of fouling set in the 0-9 step in advance. A level is used as a reference value for discrimination, and less than a reference value is used as a regime, and a standard value or more is discriminated as a hand winding.

Next, the gold type designation in each binding mode will be described.

Basically, each mode and a series of setting items, such as a designated type of money in that mode, are stored in the storage unit 52, and the storage unit 52 is backed up with a battery or the like. The memory contents are retained at the time.

Therefore, the stored contents of the storage unit 52 are read by the control unit 50 at the start of power-on, and the processing is executed by this, but the setting can be changed by the following operation.

In other words, in the designated gold type binding mode, the gold type can be designated as a single gold type or a plurality of gold types. For example, the designation of a single gold type among 10,000 yen, 1,000 yen, 5000 yen and 2000 yen of Japanese bank notes and 10,000 yen As for the 1,000 yen or 10,000 yen and 5000 yen, plural gold species can be appointed.

It is basically based on regime classification binding mode, all four kinds of money together at the same time, but by binding each button of 10,000 yen, 1,000 yen, 5000 yen, 2000 yen arbitrarily and designating gold type, unity of the single gold type and two kinds of money notes This becomes possible.

The right hand classification classification binding mode is based on the processing to classify and bind a hand loss of 10,000 yen, 1,000 yen, but, by pressing each button of 10,000 yen, 1,000 yen, 5000 yen, 2000 yen arbitrarily, The designation and the designation of the two knots are enabled.

The gold species specified in each mode are stored in the storage unit 52.

In addition, the gold type of the banknotes to be accumulated can be specified for the temporary accumulators 6a to 6c, and if specified, the data are stored in the storage unit 52, and control is performed based on the data at the time of banknote accumulation described later. .

As described above, the mode, the gold type, and the like are set, and the processing of the actual bill is executed.

For example, when the designated money type binding mode is selected and 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen are designated as the gold type to be bound, the operator sets the bills in which a plurality of gold types are mixed in the inlet 1, Pressing the arranged count start button 7a starts inputting a banknote. Thereby, the bills are separated one by one from the inlet 1, and are conveyed to the discriminating unit 2 by the conveying path 3a. The presence or absence of the above abnormality is detected.

As a result, banknotes other than the binding object discriminated at 5000 yen or 2000 yen in the real ticket are conveyed and accumulated in the open pocket 5 by the conveying paths 3c and 3e, and the banknotes and duplicate transfers classified as fake or unknown are unknown. The banknote in which the conveyance abnormality was detected is conveyed to the conveyance pocket 8 by the conveyance path 3b, and is integrated.

Banknotes discriminated for 1,000 yen or 10,000 yen in the true ticket are returned to the front and rear inversion section 4 by the conveying path 3c regardless of the result of discrimination of the right hand, and the front and back are trimmed in the front and rear inversion section 4, and then returned. It is conveyed to the integration mechanism 6 by the furnace 3d, and is integrated in the temporary accumulation parts 6a-6d as follows.

First of all, a bill of 1,000 yen or 10,000 yen is first conveyed to the discriminating unit 2, and a banknote of which the paper type is determined is accumulated in the temporary accumulating unit 6a, and then the banknote of the gold species conveyed to the discriminating unit 2 is temporarily accumulated. It is integrated in part 6b.

That is, first, the paper type of the banknote conveyed to the discriminating unit 2 is determined as the gold type accumulated in the temporary accumulating unit 6a, and thus the gold type of the banknote accumulated in the temporary accumulating unit 6b is also determined uniquely. If the paper money conveyed in 2) is 10,000 yen, 10,000 yen will be accumulated in the temporary accumulator 6a, and 1,000 yen will be accumulated in the temporary accumulator 6b.

However, when it is specified that the 10,000 yen ticket is accumulated in one of the temporary accumulator 6a and the temporary accumulator 6b and the 1,000 yen ticket is accumulated in the other part by the operation display part 13, banknotes are accumulated according to the designation.

The number of bills accumulated in the temporary accumulator 6a is counted by the counter 51a, and the number of bills accumulated in the temporary accumulator 6b is counted by the counter 51b.

That is, the values of the counters 51 and 51b are added by "1" by the control part 50 to the number of sheets of one banknote accumulating in temporary accumulator 6a and 6b.

When the bill is input and the number of bills accumulated in the temporary stacking unit 6a reaches 100, the stacking place of the paper money is moved to the temporary stacking unit 6c, and the bills from the 101st sheet are accumulated in the temporary stacking unit 6c. .

Similarly, when the number of banknotes accumulated in the temporary accumulator 6b reaches 100, the papers from the 101st sheet are accumulated in the temporary accumulator 6d. It goes without saying that the number of bills accumulated in the temporary accumulators 6c and 6d is counted by counters 51c and 51d.

The banknotes of the temporary accumulator 6a which reached 100 sheets are sent out from the temporary accumulator 6a by the transfer part 9 to the banknote bundle part 10 as mentioned above.

As a result, since the temporary accumulator 6a becomes empty, when the number of banknotes accumulated in the temporary accumulator 6c or 6d reaches 100 sheets, it is possible to switch to the empty temporary accumulator 6a.

At this time, the values of the counters 51a are cleared (the values of the counters 51b to 51d are cleared even when the bills of the temporary accumulation units 6b to 6d are removed).

The banknote bundle part 10 receives 100 banknotes from the conveyance part 9 in a bundle | stacked state, and it is a banknote bundle T by the binding process which mentions the banknote of the bundle | stacked state mentioned later as upper banknote 11a or lower discharge port. Take out from (11b), 100 yen bills of 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen are bound one by one, and are discharged.

And when counting and accumulation of all banknotes are completed, about the number of sheets remaining in the temporary accumulator 6a-6d, it becomes extractable by opening the door 12 of the accumulating mechanism 6.

In addition, although not shown, the accumulating mechanism 6 is provided with a display part by LCD etc. in each vicinity of each temporary accumulator 6a-6d, and displays the type of the gold type | mold which is accumulate | stored in this display part, and the amount of dexterity. On the basis of the values of the counters 51a to 51d, the number of sheets remaining in the temporary accumulation units 6a to 6d is displayed.

In addition, when three gold species of 5000 yen or 2000 yen, 10,000 yen, and 1,000 yen were designated as the gold species to be bound, three of the temporary accumulation units 6a to 6d were used for accumulation, and the remaining one was reserved. By using this temporary temporary accumulating unit for the accumulation of banknotes of 100 kinds of paper, which is first accumulated, it is possible to continuously bind the same as above.

In the case where the binding gold paper is designated as the above four gold paper types, one gold paper is allocated to the temporary accumulators 6a to 6d, respectively. Therefore, the input and return of the paper money are stopped every time 100 paper money of any paper money is accumulated. After pulling out 100 banknotes with the conveyance part 9, input and conveyance are restarted, and the binding process mentioned later is performed.

In this case, since the input and conveyance of banknotes are stopped on the way, the overall speed is reduced, but continuous binding processing is possible.

The regime classification binding mode is processed in the same manner as in the designated money type binding mode described above, except that the banknotes in which the handbooks are discriminated by the sense of loss of the discriminating unit 2 are conveyed and accumulated in the open pocket 5.

In the fixed-ticket binding mode, when the bonds of 1 type of 10,000 yen, 1,000 yen, 5000 yen, and 2000 yen are divided into regimes and hand bills and bound, they can be performed in the same manner as the above-mentioned 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen binding processes. In the case of bundling banknotes of one type of paper into regimes and handbooks, the types of paper money and the handbook are allocated to the temporary stacking units 6a to 6d, respectively. And the conveyance is stopped, and 100 sheets of bills are taken out by the conveying unit 9, and then the binding process is performed by resuming input and conveyance.

Hereinafter, the binding process performed by the control part 50 of this embodiment is demonstrated.

When the banknotes taken out from the temporary accumulation unit 6a or the like in bundles are sent to the banknote binding unit 10 by the transfer unit 9, the control unit 50 causes the banknote clamp of the transfer unit 9 to be carried by the transfer unit 40. The banknote bundle T is conveyed to the binding position with the conveyance direction C being a short direction while accepting 100 banknotes from the unit 30 in the bundle state and confirming the banknote bundle T by the binding position sensor 45.

When conveying the banknote bundle T to a binding position, the control part 50 supplies the tape 41 to the binding means which is not shown by the tape supply means 43, and the tape 41 by the printing means 42 at that time. The type of paper money or the like of the banknote bound to the paper is printed through the ink ribbon, the printed tape 41 is cut by the cutter 44 to a predetermined length, and the cut tape 41 is conveyed to the binding position by the binding means. A bill bundle T is created by winding around 100 bills.

The control part 50 which produced the banknote bundle T conveys banknote bundle T to the conveyance guide 46 with a stage by the conveyance means 40, and conveys the lowest banknote of the banknote bundle T with a stage 46 It returns to the inclined surface 46a of ().

At this time, the banknote bundle T conveyed along the inclined surface 46a is pressed by the conveyance belt above the conveying means 40, and the friction force between the banknote bundle T and the inclined surface 46a gradually increases, and the tape 41 When is wound loosely, as shown in FIG. 11, the cross-sectional shape of the banknote bundle T in the short direction deform | transforms into a substantially parallelogram.

And the control part 50 passes the banknote bundle T which conveys the conveyance guide 46 with a stage to the conveying means 40 by the clock function, in order to judge the quality of the binding state of the banknote bundle T, by the clock function. Time is measured based on the detection signal from the passage confirmation sensor 47, and when the passage time is below the predetermined passing time, it determines with the binding state of banknote bundle T being normal.

In addition, when the passage time is longer than the prescribed passage time, it is determined that the bound state of the banknote bundle T is abnormal, that is, the tape 41 which binds the banknote bundle T is loose.

The control part 50 which judged the binding state of banknote bundle T conveys the banknote bundle T to the discharge shooter 48 by the conveying means 40, and is called banknote bundle T (normal bundle) of a normal binding state. In this case, the opening and closing plate 49 is placed in the closed position and conveyed to the upper discharge port 11a by the upper shooter 48a to be discharged.

In addition, in the case of the banknote bundle T (it is called abnormal bundle) of a strange binding state, the opening-and-closing board 49 is rotated to the open position, the abnormal bundle falls to the lower shooter 48b, and the lower shooter 48b is carried out. It is conveyed to the lower discharge port 11b and discharged.

Thus, in the binding process of a present Example, the conveyance direction C of the conveyance means 40 of the banknote bundle part 10 is made into the short direction of the banknote bundle T, and is installed downstream of the binding position of the conveyance means 40. Since the passing time of the banknote bundle T which conveys on the stepped conveyance guide 46 which has the inclined surface 46a is measured by the passage confirmation sensor 47, and the quality of the bound state of the bound banknote bundle T is determined, at least, If there is a space for accommodating the length of the banknote bundle T in the short direction, the normal bundle and the abnormal bundle can be easily distinguished without providing a special detection sensor, and the conveying path length of the discharge shooter 48 is shortened. It is possible to miniaturize the banknote arrangement device.

Moreover, two discharge openings which consist of the upper discharge opening 11a and the lower discharge opening 11b, and discharge | emission consisting of the upper shooter 48a and the lower shooter 48b which lead the banknote bundle T discharged from the conveying means 40 to these, The shooter 48 is provided, and the normal bundle and the abnormal bundle discharged from the conveying means 40 are opened by the opening and closing plate 49 provided at the end of the upper means 48a at the conveying means 40 side. ) And the lower shooter 48b, respectively, are discharged from the upper discharge port 11a and the lower discharge port 11b, so that the bundle of banknotes in which the binding state is disturbed due to the looseness of the tape 41 is distinguished and the lower discharge port 11b. Can be stably released from the upper discharge port 11a, and the banknote arrangement device is not stopped when the abnormality of the bound state of the banknote bundle T is determined. , Bundles are disturbed Can be extracted, and the operation efficiency of the banknote arrangement device can be improved.

In addition, if an alarm device is provided to generate an alarm by sound or light, and an abnormal bundle is released, the alarm device can control the alarm to alert the user so that the person in charge can recognize the occurrence of the abnormal bundle quickly. In addition, the post-treatment of the abnormal bundle can be performed immediately, and the occurrence frequency of the abnormal bundle can be easily known, thereby improving the water-retaining ability of the bill handling apparatus.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the banking unit of the banknote arranging apparatus includes a conveying unit for conveying the banknote bundle T in a short direction and a stage disposed downstream of the conveying direction of the binding position set in the conveying unit. The conveyance guide and the passage confirmation sensor which checks the passage of the banknote bundle T bound | bonded at the binding position conveying on the conveyance guide with a stage are provided, and are bound based on the passage time of the banknote bundle measured by the passage confirmation sensor. By detecting the binding state of the bundle of bills, if there is a space that accommodates at least the length of the bill bundle T in the short direction, the normal bundle and the abnormal bundle can be easily distinguished without providing a special detection sensor, By shortening the conveyance path length of the discharge shooter for discharging the bundle T, it is possible to reduce the size of the banknote arrangement device.

Moreover, by providing the inclined surface which inclines in the direction which narrows the space | interval of the conveyance path of a conveying means to a conveyance guide with a stage, the banknote bundle T conveyed along an inclined surface can be pressed, and the friction force between a banknote bundle T and an inclined surface can be gradually increased. It is possible to easily deform a bundle of banknotes T wound gently.

In addition, by providing two discharge ports in the banknote binding section and providing an opening and closing plate for dividing the banknote bundle T discharged from the conveying means into the respective discharge ports downstream of the conveying means, the binding state is disturbed by loosening of the tape. The bundle and the normal bundle can be separated and discharged from each discharge port. When the abnormality of the binding state of the banknote bundle T is determined, it is possible to extract the abnormal bundle in which the binding state is disturbed without stopping the banknote arrangement device. It is possible to improve the operation efficiency of the bill handling apparatus.

In addition, in the said Example, although demonstrated that it was comprised by the shooter of the up-and-down two-stage structure, you may comprise with the shooter installed in the side by side.

In addition, in the said Example, although the discharge conveyance path was demonstrated as a discharge | shooter, the conveyance path which pinches and conveys a banknote bundle T with a roller pair, a belt pair, etc. may be sufficient.

In addition, in the said Example, although the distributing means was demonstrated as the opening / closing board which rotates between an open position and a closed position, it may be a slide type opening / closing board which slides on a shooter.

In addition, in the said Example, although the case where the banknote binding part of this invention was applied to the banknote arrangement | stacking apparatus was demonstrated, it is not limited to this, Even if it applies to the other apparatus which produces banknote bundle T, the same effect as the above is obtained. Can be.
