When the TS passing detection unit 512 is turned on (YES in step S12), the control unit 170 determines that the binding band R has passed the binding band setting position TSP, and since the drawing-out operation of the binding band R continues, it is determined that the binding band R has passed the binding position TSP, so it is determined that the binding band R has passed the position TSP. Check whether the print head position PP in the print head exceeds the blank range of the strap R (step S13).

When the head position PP of the printer 508 exceeds the blank range of the binding tape R (YES in step S13 ), the control unit 170 starts printing of fixed information on the printer 508 (step S14 ). In addition, fixed information is information common to all bundled banknotes, such as a machine number, a company name, and a branch name shown in FIG. 8, for example.

The control unit 170 starts printing the fixed information, and determines whether the BD passage detection unit 513 is turned on (ON) (step S15 ). In addition, the printing operation of the fixed information ends when the printing of the fixed information is completed.

When the control unit 170 is turned on by the detection unit 513 of the BD (YES in step S15), it is judged that the binding band R has exceeded the binding band roll-out position BDP, and is wound according to the reverse operation of the drive roller 506 and the roll-out roller 509A. Return the binding band R (step S16).

The control part 170 judges whether the BD passing detection part 513 turns off (OFF) when the binding tape R is rewound (step S17).

When the control unit 170 is closed by the detection unit 513 of the BD (step S17 is “yes”), it is judged that the strap R is wound back to the strapping strap roll-out position BDP, and it is determined whether the strapping strap roll-out position has been completed. The BDP is wound back by a predetermined distance so that the leading end of the binding band R is positioned within the straight portion 511A (step S18).

When the control unit 170 has completed the winding back of the front end of the strap R from the strap roll-out position BDP by a predetermined distance (Yes in step S18), the operation of the driving roller 506 and the roll-out roller 509A is stopped (step S18 is YES). S19), until the next 100 banknotes to be bound are loaded in, the binding unit 22 is on standby. In addition, at this time, the print head position PP of the printer 508 is within the printing range on the binding tape R that has passed the fixing information printed in advance.

The control part 170 determines whether the banknotes to be bundled which are being piled up in the stacking part 21 for bundling has reached 100 sheets (step S20).

When the number of banknotes to be bundled that are being accumulated in the stacking unit 21 for bundling reaches 100 (step S20 "Yes"), the control unit 170 acquires the banknote type of the last banknote to be bundled through the banknote type acquisition unit 172 ( Step S21).

Moreover, when the control part 170 acquires the banknote type of the last accumulated banknote, it will start the drawing-out operation|movement of the binding band R by the normal rotation operation of the drive roller 506 and the feed-out roller 509A (step S22).

If the control unit 170 starts the drawing-out operation of the binding band R, it starts the binding process of the binding unit 22 (see FIG. Step S23). In addition, as shown in FIG. 8 , the unique information corresponds to, for example, an accumulation number, time, date, damage classification, cash type, and total amount. In addition, the printing operation of the unique information ends when the printing operation of the unique information is completed.

The control unit 170 determines whether or not the BD passage detection unit 513 is turned on (step S24). When the control unit 170 is turned on by the detection unit 513 of the BD (YES in step S24), it is judged that the binding band R has exceeded the binding band turning-out position BDP, and it is determined whether the print head position PP of the printer 508 has exceeded the position BDP. The winding length of the binding tape R used for this binding + the blank range of the binding tape R used for the next binding (step S25).

When the control unit 170 exceeds the winding length of the binding tape R used for this binding + the blank range of the binding tape R used for the next binding in the print head position PP (YES in step S25), it determines that This is the printing range of the binding tape R, and the next printing operation of the fixing information of the binding tape R is started in this printing range (step S26). In addition, the printing operation of the fixed information ends when the printing of the fixed information ends.

Moreover, the control part 170 judges whether the binding process (refer FIG. 16) currently performed at the same time is completed (step S27).

When the binding process in progress at the same time is completed (YES in step S27), the control unit 170 executes the rewinding operation of the winding tape R according to the reverse operation of the drive roller 506 and the output roller 509A, so that it can be used for the next time. Standby in the bundling preparation state (step S28), and transfer to step S17 in order to determine whether the BD passing detection part 513 is closed.

In addition, the control part 170 judges that the strap R has not passed the strap setting position TSP when the TS passing detection part 512 is not turned on in step S12 (step S12: No), and continues the monitoring operation of step S12 so that In order to monitor the opening operation of the TS passing detection unit 512 .

In addition, when the control unit 170 does not exceed the blank range of the binding tape R at the print head position PP in step S13 ("No" in step S13), the control unit 170 continues the monitoring operation of step S13 in order to monitor the position of the print head at PP. Whether it exceeds the blank range of the strap R.

Also, when the BD passage detection unit 513 is not turned on in step S15 (NO in step S15), the control unit 170 continues the monitoring operation in step S15 to monitor whether the BD passage detection unit 513 has been turned on.

In addition, when the BD passage detection unit 513 is not closed in step S17 (NO in step S17), the control unit 170 continues the monitoring operation in step S17 to monitor whether the BD passage detection unit 513 is closed.

In addition, when the control unit 170 has not completed the winding-up of the front end of the strap R from the strap roll-out position BDP in step S18 ("No" in step S18), the monitoring operation of step S18 is continued, so that In order to monitor whether the specified distance amount of rewinding is completed.

In addition, the control unit 170 continues the monitoring operation of step S20 in order to monitor the stacked banknotes to be bundled when the number of banknotes to be bundled that are being accumulated in the stacking unit 21 for bundling does not reach 100 ("No" in step S20). Whether to reach 100.

Also, when the BD passage detection unit 513 is not turned on in step S24 (NO in step S24), the control unit 170 continues the monitoring operation in step S24 to monitor whether the BD passage detection unit 513 is turned on.

In addition, when the control unit 170 does not exceed the winding length of the binding tape R used for this binding + the blank range of the binding tape R used for the next binding at the print head position PP in step S25 (step S25 is "No"), continue the monitoring action of step S25, so as to monitor whether the winding length of the binding tape R used for this binding+the blank range of the binding tape R used for the next binding is exceeded on the print head position PP.

In addition, the control unit 170 continues the monitoring operation of step S27 in order to monitor whether the binding process is completed when the binding process being performed simultaneously is not completed in step S27 (NO in step S27 ).

In the binding band printing process shown in FIG. 15 , when the binding target banknotes are bound with the binding band R, the fixed information and the inherent information are printed in such a manner that they are within the printing range of the binding band R. When the banknotes are bundled, they are printed in advance, and the unique information is printed when the number of banknotes to be bundled reaches 100. Therefore, by printing the fixed information in advance, the amount of inherent information that can be printed is increased, and the operation efficiency can be greatly improved.

Next, the operation of the bundling unit 22 for bundling 100 banknotes to be bundled with the bundling tape R performed simultaneously in step S21 shown in FIG. 15 will be described alternately with FIG. 16 to FIG. 22 . FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the control unit 170 related to the banknote bundling processing. Fig. 17 is an explanatory diagram clearly showing the operating state of the binding unit 22 at the time of binding preparation, Fig. 18 is an explanatory diagram clearly showing the operating state of the binding unit 22 when the banknotes to be bound are set, and Fig. 19 clearly shows Regarding the explanatory diagram of the operating state of the binding part 22 when the conveying part 25 is separated before the binding, Fig. 20 is an explanatory diagram clearly showing the operating state of the binding part 22 during the false binding. Fig. 22 is an explanatory diagram clearly showing the operating state of the binding part 22 when it is tied.

The banknote bundling process shown in FIG. 16 is a process of generating bundled banknotes by bundling up to 100 bundling target banknotes with the binding tape R. FIG.

First, in the binding unit 22 shown in FIG. 17, if the binding band fixing unit 502 is moved from the tightening position to the standby position by the rotating arm 503, and the binding band R is appropriately rotated out by the binding band turning-out unit 509, then The binding band fixing part 502 is moved to the upper position to be in a standby state. At this time, the binding unit 22 waits until the number of banknotes to be bound reaches 100, and the binding information is printed in advance on the printing range of the binding band R. FIG.

In FIG. 16 , when the number of banknotes to be bundled that is being accumulated in one of the three bundling stacking sections 21 reaches 100, the control unit 170 passes through the transfer unit 42 of the pre-bundling transfer unit 25 . And take out binding object banknote P (step S31) as shown in FIG. In addition, in the binding unit 22 shown in FIG. 18 , the state of the banknote long side of the binding target banknote P is grasped by the upper bar 41A and the lower bar 41B of the transport unit 42, and is transported to the operation preparation position on the binding table 22A.

In addition, the controller 170 grasps the short sides of the banknotes P to be bound as shown in FIG. 18 at the operation preparation position on the binding table 22A by the holding unit 27A of the transport unit 27 (step S33 ).

In addition, the control unit 170 releases the transport unit 42 of the pre-binding transport unit 25 for the banknotes P to be bundled, as shown in FIG. (step S34), and the transfer unit 42 is taken out from the binding part 22 and returned to the standby position (step S35).

In addition, as shown in FIG. 19 , the control unit 170 moves and adjusts the binding object banknotes P grasped by the grasping portion 27A of the conveyance unit 27 along the banknote longitudinal direction so that the binding position of the binding object banknotes P is set at the binding position. On the binding operation position of the platform 22A (step S36), and after the movement adjustment, the upper clamping plate 22B is lowered to the banknote surface of the binding object banknote P on the binding platform 22A (step S37).

Further, the control unit 170 moves the binding and fixing unit 502 to the binding position by the rotating arm 503 as shown in FIG. Then it becomes a false bundle state.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 21 , the control unit 170 raises the lower clamping plate 22C to bring the bundling target banknotes P of the binding table 22A into a true bundled state between the upper clamping plate 22B (step S39 ).

In addition, as shown in FIG. 22, the control unit 170 rewinds the binding band R wound to the binding position of the binding object banknotes P through the reverse operation of the driving roller 506 and the feed-out roller 509A, thereby binding the binding object banknotes P ( Step S40).

As shown in FIG. 22 , if the control unit 170 detects the binding of the binding object banknotes P by the binding detection unit 511 (step S41), the heating unit 505 is pressed to the other end of the binding band R at the binding position and thermally fused. Fix (step S42), cut off the other end of the binding band R by the knife portion 504 (step S43), and heat-seal the heating portion 505 to the cut portion to generate binding banknotes P1 (step S44). In addition, the binding detection unit 511 is in a state where the binding band R is wound around the binding position of the binding target banknotes P by the rotating arm 503, and the binding band R is wound back according to the reverse operation of the driving roller 506 and the roll-out roller 509A, thereby A member that detects the binding operation of the binding band R that is wound around the binding position of the binding target banknotes P.

In addition, if the control part 170 completes the heat sealing process, the heating part 505 is moved to the standby position (step S45), and the binding band fixing part 502 is taken out from the bundled banknote P1 (step S46), and the holding part 27A of the conveying part 27 is held The bundled banknotes being grasped are transported to the operation preparation position (step S47), and the bundled banknotes P1 are grasped and conveyed from the operation preparation position to the binding banknote lifter 61 (step S48), thereby ending the processing shown in FIG. 16 .

In the banknote binding process shown in FIG. 16 , the binding position of the banknotes P to be bound is moved and arranged to the binding operation position on the binding table 22A by holding the transfer unit 27, so that the binding band R is wound around the banknotes P to be bound. Since the bundled banknotes P1 are generated by bundling them tightly at the bundling position, the bundled banknotes P1 can be easily generated.

After that, when the grip conveying unit 27 grips and conveys the bundled banknotes P1 into the bundled banknote raising and lowering unit 61 , the gripping of the short sides of the bundled banknotes P1 is released. As a result, the dispensing conveyance unit 28 conveys the bundled banknotes P1 to the dispensing holding mechanism 63 via the bundled banknote lifting unit 61 and the pushing mechanism 62 .

In this embodiment, since the printer 508 is driven and controlled so as to print the fixed information and the inherent information on the binding band R binding the banknotes P1, the fixed information and the inherent information can be placed on the binding band R of the binding banknotes P1. Therefore, by printing fixed information and inherent information on substantially the entire circumference of the binding band R binding the banknotes P1, the processing speed will not be reduced, and the amount of information that can be printed on the binding band R will be increased, thereby achieving Great improvement in operational efficiency.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the winding length of the binding tape R, the blank range and the printing range in the winding length are managed for each banknote type of the binding object paper currency P, when the binding object paper currency is bound with the binding tape R, During P, read out the print range corresponding to the banknote type of the binding object banknote P from the binding band management part 175, and based on the read print range, print the fixed information and the inherent information in the print range of the binding band R, so it is possible to The winding length, blank range, and print range of the binding band R are identified for each banknote type of the binding target banknote P. FIG.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the binding band R for binding the banknotes P to be bound is drawn out based on the blank range and the print range corresponding to the banknote type of the banknotes P to be bound, after passing through the blank range on the binding band R, When passing through the printing area on the binding band R, fixed information and unique information are printed on the printing area, so the blank area and printing area of the binding band R can be identified for each banknote type of the binding target banknote P.

In addition, in this embodiment, since identification information includes unique information and fixed information, the user can recognize the unique information and fixed information printed on the binding band R binding the banknotes P1.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the fixed information is printed in advance on the state of the printing range on the binding tape R, if the binding target banknotes P reach 100, the bundling of the bundling target banknotes P by the binding unit 22 is started. The pull-out action with R starts to print the unique information related to the binding target banknotes P that has reached 100 sheets within the printing range, so by printing the fixed information in advance, the amount of unique information that can be printed is increased, thereby enabling operation. Great increase in efficiency.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the drawing-out operation of the binding band R for binding the banknotes P to be bound is started, the inherent information is printed in the printing range, and if the printing range is passed, the next binding If the blank range of the binding band R of the object banknote P starts to pass through the printing range, then the fixed information related to the next binding object banknote P is printed on the printing range, so when the binding of the binding part 22 is printed in advance, it is related to the next binding object banknote. P-related fixed information, so by increasing the amount of inherent information that can be printed when bundling, it is possible to achieve a significant improvement in operational efficiency.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the movement of the banknotes P to be bound is adjusted so that the short sides of the banknotes P to be bound are grasped by the conveyance unit 27, and the paper currency on the binding platform 22A in the binding unit 22 can be moved The binding object banknote P moves along the banknote long side direction, and the binding position positioning of the binding object banknote P is arranged on the binding operation position of the binding platform 22A, so the state of the short side side of the binding object banknote P is grasped by the holding conveyance part 27, By bundling the banknotes P to be bundled on the bundling table 22A, it is possible to avoid the situation that the banknotes P to be bundled P are scattered before bundling, and it is also possible to greatly improve the efficiency of the bundling operation by increasing the speed of the bundling operation.

In addition, in this embodiment, after binding the banknotes to be bundled with the binding band R in the state in which the banknotes P to be bundled are grasped by the grasping conveyance unit 27, the banknotes P1 to be bundled are held in a state in which the bundled banknotes P1 are held. Therefore, the holding and conveying unit 27 still holds the bundled banknotes P during the bundling operation, thereby greatly improving the operation speed of conveying the bundled bills P1 to the bundling outlet 23.

In addition, in the present embodiment, among the banknotes P to be bundled up to 100, the banknote type of the banknote accumulated last is obtained, and the winding length, blank range, and printing range of the binding band R corresponding to the banknote type are set, However, even if the banknote types of the first accumulated banknotes among the 100 binding target banknotes P are obtained, and the winding length, blank range, and printing range of the binding band R corresponding to the banknote types of the first accumulated banknotes are set, of course The same effect can also be obtained.

In addition, in this embodiment, the fixed information and the inherent information are printed on the printing range of the strap R, but for example, the identification mark can also be printed on the strap R by the printer 508, so that when the strap R passes through the strapping part 22 When bundling the banknotes P to be bundled, the identification marks are located on the sides of the bundled banknotes within the printing range of the binding tape R. At this time, even if multiple bundles of bundled banknotes P1 are accumulated, the user can recognize the identification marks on the sides of the bundled banknotes.

In addition, in this embodiment, the machine number, company name, and branch name have been described as fixed information, but the same effect can of course be obtained even if the name of the person in charge of generating the bundled banknote P1, the date of generation, etc. are included. .

In addition, in this embodiment, the absence of the binding band R is detected by monitoring the rear end of the binding band R by the empty detection part 510, but even if a mark is attached near the rear end of the binding band R, the mark is monitored and the binding is detected. Of course, the same effect can also be obtained in the case where there is no R.

In addition, in this embodiment, among the banknotes P to be bundled up to 100, the banknote type of the banknote accumulated last is acquired, and the binding position corresponding to the banknote type is set as the binding position of the banknotes P to be bundled. Obtaining the banknote type of the first accumulated banknote among the 100 bundled banknotes P, and setting the binding position corresponding to the banknote type of the first accumulated banknote as the binding position of the binding target banknote P, the same result can be obtained, of course. Effect.

In addition, in this embodiment, the binding position is set for each banknote type of the banknotes P to be bound. However, there are applications in other countries where the binding tape R is prohibited from covering the portrait on the front of the banknote. , it is also possible to manage the position information of the portrait printed on the front of the banknotes P to be bundled, and set the binding position of the strap R for the banknotes P to be bundled based on the portrait position information, so that the strap R will not cover the bundled object In this case, the portrait of the banknote P can also be adequately applied to the application of the portrait for preventing the binding band R from covering the binding object banknote P.

In addition, in this embodiment, the binding position is set for each banknote type of the binding target banknote P, but since it is also considered to set the binding position of the binding band R for the binding target banknote P Therefore, in order to cope with such a situation, it is also possible to set the binding position of the binding band R for the binding target banknote P based on the integrity information of the perfect and damaged banknotes. At this time, the user can And identify the damage of bundled banknotes.

For example, when the banknotes P to be bundled are damaged, the central part of the banknotes P to be bundled may be set as the bundling position. At this time, the user can recognize the banknotes as damaged by the binding band R in the central part.

In addition, when the banknotes P to be bundled are damaged, multiple positions of the banknotes P to be bundled may be set as binding positions, and at this time, the user can identify damaged banknotes from the binding bands R at multiple locations.

In addition, in this embodiment, the binding position is set for each banknote type of the binding target banknote P, but since the version information based on the new note or the old note is also considered, the binding band R for the binding target banknote P is set. Therefore, in order to cope with such a situation, it is also possible to set the binding position of the binding band R for the binding object banknote P based on the version information of the new note and the old note. At this time, the user can use the binding position of the binding band R New and old notes of bundled banknotes are identified based on the bundling position.

In addition, in this embodiment, in the case of the same banknote type, the same binding position is set, but in the case of sequentially loading the binding banknotes P1 of the same binding position, if a plurality of bundles of binding banknotes P1 are stacked, then The volume of the banknote end on the side opposite to the binding position of the binding banknote P1 becomes larger, so in order to cope with this situation, in the case of the same banknote type, the normal binding position and the binding position opposite to the binding position are managed, and each When bundling the banknotes P to be bundled for the second time, the normal bundling position or the opposite side bundling position is set alternately and sequentially, so in the case of the same kind of banknotes, even if many bundles of bundled banknotes are stacked, the volume will not be large, and it can be stably A plurality of bundles of bundled banknotes P1 are stacked.

In addition, in the present embodiment, one of the stacking parts 21 for bundling is set as a reserve among the three stacking parts 21 for bundling, and banknotes of different denominations are set for the remaining two stacking parts 21 for bundling. However, even if banknotes of the same denomination are set in the remaining two stacking units 21 for bundling, the same effect can of course be obtained.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when the bundled banknotes P being accumulated in the stacking section 21 for bundling reach 100 sheets, the bundled banknotes P are taken out by the conveying unit 42 of the conveying section 25 before bundling, and the bundled banknotes P are taken out. The bundled banknotes P taken out are conveyed to the binding station 22A in the binding unit 22, but for example, even if the taken-out banknotes P for binding are conveyed to the vicinity of the entrance of the binding unit 22, the holding portion 27A of the conveying unit 27 is held at the entrance of the binding unit 22. After holding the short sides of the banknotes P to be bundled nearby, the banknotes P to be bundled P are conveyed to the operation preparation position on the binding table 22A, of course, the same effect can be obtained.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the banknote sorting and binding processing device 1 is described as an example of the banknote binding device 3 and the banknote handling device 2 , but the same effect can be obtained even with a single banknote binding device 3 .

In addition, in this embodiment, the banknote binding device 3 for binding the banknotes P to be bound with the binding band R has been described as an example. , of course the same effect can be obtained.

The present embodiment has been described above, but the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by the present embodiment, and various embodiments can be implemented without departing from the scope of the technical idea described in the claims. In addition, the effect described in this Example is not limited to this.
