In addition, the banknote binding device described in the technical solution of this application corresponds to the banknote binding device 3, the banknote specific information corresponds to the serial number, the unique information acquisition unit corresponds to the serial number recognition unit 16, the related information corresponds to the bundle ID 204, and the related information The generating part corresponds to the bundle ID generating part 183, the related information giving part corresponds to the print control part 184 and the printer 55, the information storage management part corresponds to the bundled banknote management part 160, the information retrieval part corresponds to the bundle ID retrieval part 186, and the information output part It corresponds to the display control unit 150, the display device 4, and the like.

Next, the operation of the banknote sorting and binding processing apparatus 1 of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the internal processing operation of the control unit 180 related to the banknote bundling processing.

The banknote bundling process shown in FIG. 9 is the following process: when binding 100 banknotes P to be bundled that are being accumulated in the stacking unit 21 for bundling with a bundling tape R to generate bundled banknotes P1, the banknotes P1 that are used to identify the bundled banknotes P1 will be identified. The bundle ID 204 of the bundled banknotes P1 is printed on the strap R of the bundled banknotes P1, and corresponding to the bundle ID 204 of the bundled banknotes P1, the serial numbers of all the banknotes in the bundled banknotes P1 are stored and managed in the bundled banknote management unit 160.

In FIG. 9, the control part 180 acquires the banknote type of the conveyance banknote conveyed by the banknote conveyance path 19 through the banknote recognition part 14 (step S11). In addition, in the banknote identification part 14, the banknote type of the conveyed banknote is identified, for example, the denomination information of the banknote, the soundness information of the banknote, the authenticity information of the banknote, and the like.

The control part 180 judges whether the conveyance state of a conveyance banknote is normal (step S12). When the conveyance state of the conveyance banknote is normal and the denomination is recognized as normal (YES in step S12), the control unit 180 determines whether the denomination of the conveyance bill is The specific denomination of the bundled banknotes (step S13). In addition, as described above, the specific denominations of the banknotes to be bundled are set, for example, to full bills of $10 bills and full bills of $20 bills.

When the denomination of the conveyed banknote is the specific denomination of the bundled banknote (YES in step S13 ), the control unit 180 determines whether the conveyed banknote is genuine (step S14 ).

The control part 180 determines whether the conveyed banknote is a genuine bill (step S15) when the conveyed banknote is genuine (YES in step S14).

In addition, the control unit 180 recognizes the serial number of the transported banknote through the serial number recognition unit 16 (Yes in step S16) when the transported banknote is a good bill (step S15: Yes), and accumulates the transported banknote Each stacking unit 21 for bundling stores the serial number of the transported banknote in the temporary storage unit 182 (step S17), and transports the transported banknote to the corresponding stacking unit 21 for bundling (step S18).

In addition, if the control unit 180 accumulates the transported banknotes in the corresponding stacking unit 21 for bundling (step S19), then it is judged by the bundling number judging unit 181 whether the bundled banknotes P being stacked in the stacking unit 21 for bundling have reached 100 or not. Zhang (step S20).

In addition, when the number of banknotes P to be bundled that are being accumulated in the stacking unit 21 for bundling reaches 100 (YES in step S20 ), the control unit 180 generates a banknote for bundling 100 banknotes to be bundled by the bundle ID generation unit 183 . Bundle ID 204 of bundled banknotes P1 of P (step S21).

In addition, when the control unit 180 generates the bundle ID 204 of the bundled banknotes P1 in the bundle ID generation unit 183, the printer 55 is driven and controlled to print the bundle ID 204 on the binding tape R to pass through the printing control unit 184 (step S22).

The control unit 180 uses the binding unit 22 to bind the binding tape R printed in the step S22 on the binding position of the 100 binding target banknotes P in the step S20, thereby generating the binding banknote P1 (step S23), and judging whether it is normally produced. Banknotes P1 are bundled (step S24).

When the bundled banknotes P1 are normally generated (YES in step S24), the control unit 180 stores the bundle ID 204 of the bundled banknotes P1 and the serial number of 100 of the bundled banknotes in the bundled banknote management unit 160 in association with each other. (step S25), the processing operation shown in FIG. 9 ends.

In addition, in step S20, when the bundled banknotes P being stacked in the stacking unit 21 for bundling do not reach 100 sheets (step S20: No), the controller 180 transfers the banknotes in order to obtain further banknotes to be transported. Go to step S11.

In addition, in step S12, when the conveying state of the conveyed banknote is abnormal, that is, the conveyance is abnormal, or the denomination of the conveyed banknote is abnormal, that is, the denomination of the denomination is abnormal (step S12: No), In step S14, under the situation that the delivery banknote is not a genuine note, that is, a counterfeit note (step S14 is "No"), or in the case of the identification number of the delivery banknote that cannot be recognized in step S16 (step S16 is "no"), the The conveyance banknote is conveyed to the 1st rejection part 18B (step S26), and the processing operation shown in FIG. 9 is complete|finished.

In addition, when the denomination of the conveyed banknote is not the specific denomination of the bundled banknote P in step S13 (NO in step S13), the control unit 180 determines whether there is a stacker 17 corresponding to the denomination of the conveyed banknote or not. 1st rejection part 18A (step S27A). When the controller 180 has the stacker 17 corresponding to the denomination of the conveyed banknote ("Yes" in step S27A), it transfers to the stacker 17 corresponding to the denomination of the conveyed banknote (step S27), and in order to end the 9, the process shifts to M1 in the figure.

In addition, the control unit 180 determines whether there is an accumulator 17 corresponding to a damaged bill of the same denomination as the transferred bill in step S15 if the banknote is either unfinished or damaged (NO in step S15). 1st rejection part 18A (step S28A). When there is an accumulator 17 or the first rejecting unit 18A corresponding to a defective bill of the same denomination of the conveyed banknote (YES in step S28A), the controller 180 conveys it to the degraded bill of the same denomination as the conveyed bill. The stacker 17, the first rejecting unit 18A, or the second rejecting unit 190 corresponding to the coupon (step S28), and in order to end the processing operation shown in FIG. 9, transfer to M1 in the figure.

When the control unit 180 cannot normally generate the bundled banknotes P1 (step S24: No), it deletes the 100 identification numbers of the bundled banknotes P1 stored in the temporary storage unit 182 (step S29), and ends FIG. 9 . The processing action shown.

When there is no stacker 17 corresponding to the denomination of the conveyance banknote (NO in step S27A), the control unit 180 shifts to M2 in the figure to convey the conveyance banknote to the first rejection unit 18B.

When the control unit 180 does not have the stacker 17 or the first rejecting unit 18A corresponding to damaged bills of the same denomination as the transported banknotes (NO in step S28A), in order to transport the transported banknotes to the first rejecting unit 18B and transferred to M3 in the figure.

In the banknote bundling process shown in FIG. 9 , if the bundled banknotes P being accumulated in the stacking unit 21 for bundling reach 100, a bundle of bundled banknotes P1 for identifying 100 bundled banknotes P is generated.
