The controller 170 sets, for example, banknote types (stacked banknotes) to be stacked on the stacker 16, the first reject section 17, the second reject section 20, and the bundling stacking section 21. For example, the control unit 170 may include a 5 euro banknote for the first stacker 16A, a 50 euro banknote for the second stacker 16B, a 100 euro banknote for the third stacker 16C, a 200 euro banknote for the fourth stacker 16D, and the first reject unit 17A. 500 euro bills, and as an initial setting, 10 euro bills are set in the first

bundling stacking portion

21A, 20 euro bills are set in the second bundling stacking portion 21B, and a reserve is set in the third bundling stacking portion 21C. The first reject unit 17A can also be used as a stacker for collecting rare types of banknotes such as 500 euro banknotes.

Further, the control unit 170 recognizes a failure such as a paper jam (jam) on the conveyance path based on the detection result of the detection sensor 19.

When the drive control unit 150 acquires the banknote type of the transported banknote identified by the banknote recognition unit 14, the transported banknote transporting the banknote transport path 18 is set in the stacker 16 or the stacking unit 21 for banknotes ( In the case of stacked banknotes), the banknote transport unit 13 and the branching unit 13A are driven and controlled to classify and stack the transported banknotes in the stacker 16 or the stacking unit 21 for bundling.

Further, the drive control unit 150 is configured to transfer the banknote when the banknote being transported through the banknote transport path 18 is a banknote other than the banknote being set in the stacker 16 and the bundling stacking unit 21 or a banknote that cannot be identified due to a transport abnormality or the like. Is controlled to drive the banknote transport unit 13 and the branching unit 13A so as to be transported to the first reject unit 17.

The drive control unit 150 classifies and stacks the transported banknotes in the bundling stacking unit 21 when the transported banknotes being transported in the banknote transporting path 18 are banknote types (stacked banknotes) being set in the bundling stacking unit 21. Therefore, the banknote transport unit 13 and the branching unit 13A are driven and controlled.

For example, the drive control unit 150 sets 10 euro banknotes in the first

bundling stacking unit

21A, 20 euro banknotes in the second bundling stacking unit 21B, and reserves as banknote types (stacked banknotes) in the third bundling stacking unit 21C. When 100 banknotes to be bundled to be accumulated in the first bundling stacking unit 21A reach 100 sheets, the bundling unit 21A is bundling through the hand unit 41 in the conveyance unit 42 of the pre-bundling conveyance unit 25. In order to pull out the banknotes to be bound, the pre-bundling transport unit 25 is driven and controlled.

Furthermore, the control unit 170 switches the banknote type (stacked banknote) of the spare third binding stacking unit 21C to the 10 euro banknote when 100 euro banknotes stacked in the first binding stacking unit 21A reach 100 sheets. Setting and switching the banknote type (stacked banknote) of the first bundling stacking portion 21A that can be stacked by pulling out 10 euro banknotes that have reached 100 sheets through the hand unit 41 in the transport unit 42 It is.

Further, for example, the dimension adjustment drive control unit 160 reaches 10 sheets of 10 euro banknotes to be accumulated in the first bundling stacking part 21A, and sets the bill type (stacked banknote) of the spare third bundling stacking part 21C to 10 When switching to the euro bill, the third binding unit 21C is adjusted to adjust the third binding stacking portion 21C according to the bill size of the 10 euro bill based on the set size of the set bill managed by the set size management unit 180. It drives and controls the dimension adjusting mechanism 35 of the stacking portion 21C.

The set dimension management unit 180 manages the set rotation position of the arm portion 36A in the banknote sorting mechanism 36 and the short dimension in the short-side adjustment mechanism 37 for each banknote type.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory view briefly showing the operation transition of the dimension adjusting mechanism 35 of the bundling stacking unit 21.

The dimension adjustment drive control unit 160 drives and controls the short-side adjustment mechanism 37 so as to adjust the accumulation space 31 by moving the back wall part 31B in the X direction according to the set banknote during accumulation setting. In order to set the setting rotation position of the arm part 36A of the banknote organizing mechanism 36 according to the longitudinal dimension of the banknote, the banknote organizing mechanism 36 is driven and controlled.

First, the dimension adjustment drive control unit 160 moves and arranges the back wall part 31B at a position corresponding to the short dimension of the set banknote, and the arm part of the banknote organizing mechanism 36 at the set rotation position according to the long dimension of the set dimension. 36A is held (see FIG. 7A).

Next, the dimension adjustment drive control unit 160 expands the left and right arm portions 36 A when detecting the entrance of the conveyed banknote in the accumulation space 31 through the entrance detection sensor 34 (see FIG. 7B).

Further, the dimension adjustment drive control unit 160 rotates the left and right arm units 36 A to the set rotation position after the predetermined time has elapsed after detecting the completion of the passage of the conveyed banknotes through the entry detection sensor 34. The longitudinal directions of the banknotes being stacked in the stacking space 31 are aligned between the tips of 36A (see FIG. 7C).

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram briefly showing the operation transition of the pre-bundling transport unit 25.

The pre-bundling transport unit 25 lowers the stage unit 32 in the stacking unit 21 to be pulled out to the lowest end when pulling out the binding target banknotes that are being stacked on the binding stacking unit 21 through the transport unit 42 (FIG. 8 ( A)).

Further, the pre-bundling transport unit 25 is positioned relative to the bundling stacking unit 21 by the operation of the drive belt 44B through the guide shaft 44A, that is, from the lowest bill of the bundling target bills being stacked in the bundling stacking unit 21. Also, the transport unit 42 is lowered to a position where the upper surface of the lower hand 41B is lowered (see FIG. 8A).

Further, the pre-bundling transport unit 25 moves the upper hand 41A of the transport unit 42 through the drive belt 41C to a position where the upper surface of the upper hand 41A is higher than the uppermost banknote of the banknotes to be bundled being stacked in the stacking unit 21. It rises (see FIG. 8A). As a result, the space between the upper hand 41A and the lower hand 41B is expanded.

Further, the transport unit 42 advances in accordance with the operation of the drive belt 43A of the horizontal movement mechanism 43, and the binding stacking portion is formed through the notch portion 31C formed in the back wall portion 31B of the binding stacking portion 21 in accordance with the forward movement operation. 21, the upper hand 41A and the lower hand 41B enter, and the binding target banknote is positioned between the upper hand 41A and the lower hand 41B (see FIG. 8B).

Further, the transport unit 42 lowers the upper hand 41A through the driving belt 41C, and firmly holds the banknotes to be bound on the stage unit 32 between the upper hand 41A and the lower hand 41B according to the lowering operation. (See FIG. 8C).

Then, the transport unit 42 is retracted according to the operation of the drive belt 43A of the horizontal movement mechanism 43, and the binding target banknotes gripped by the upper hand 41A and the lower hand 41B are returned according to the retracting operation. It will be in the state which can move to the opening | mouth 24 (refer FIG.8 (D)).

Further, the drive control unit 150 shown in FIG. 6 is configured such that, when 100 binding target banknotes to be stacked in the binding stacking unit 21 reach 100 sheets, the transport unit 42 in the pre-bundling transport unit 25 through the notch 31C of the back wall part 31B. The hand part 41 enters the stacking space 31, and the hand unit 41 grips the binding target banknote on the stage unit 32. The gripping target banknote is pulled out from the binding stacking part 21, and the binding target is pulled out. In order to transport the banknotes to the binding unit 22, the pre-bundling transport unit 25 is driven and controlled.

In addition, when the transaction is completed, when the number of banknotes to be bound that are being stacked in the binding stacking unit 21 is less than 100, the drive control unit 150 stacks the hand unit 41 of the transport unit 42 through the notch 31C of the back wall portion 31B. It enters the space 31, grips the binding target banknote on the stage unit 32 with this hand unit 41, pulls out the gripping target banknote from the binding stacking unit 21, and pulls out the binding target banknote of the pulled out fraction. The pre-bundling transport unit 25 is driven and controlled to be transported to the fraction return port 24.

Thereafter, the drive control unit 150 lifts the stage unit 32 in the bundling stacking unit 21 and returns to the normal banknote stacking waiting position after the bundling target banknotes being stacked in the bundling stacking unit 21 are pulled out. .

Moreover, when the drive control part 150 detects the disorder | damage | failure of a conveyance banknote upstream from the 1st rejection part 17B through the detection sensor 19, it conveys a conveyance banknote upstream from the 1st rejection part 17B to the 1st rejection part 17B sequentially. It is.

Moreover, when the drive control part 150 detects the failure | damage of a conveyance banknote downstream from the 1st rejection part 17B through the detection sensor 19, in order to convey a conveyance banknote downstream from the 1st rejection part 17B to the 2nd rejection part 20 sequentially. The bill conveyance unit 13 and the branching unit 13A are driven and controlled. For example, downstream of the first reject unit 17B such as the second transport path 18B or the third transport path 18C, the skew on the banknote transport path 18 of a single banknote, the chain of banknotes on the banknote transport path 18, and the banknote transport In the case of a failure such as banknote multi-feed on the path 18, the failure can be recovered more quickly by transporting the failed bill to the second reject unit 20 than by stopping the bill conveyance.

FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram briefly showing the operation transition of the discharge conveyance unit 28 of the post-bundling conveyance unit 26.

The bundled banknote lift unit 61 of the discharge transport unit 28 waits at the lowest position on the transport lift 61A for placing the bundled banknotes transported by the gripping transport unit 27 (see FIG. 9A).

Next, the gripping and conveying unit 27 conveys the bundled banknotes on the conveyance lift 61A of the bundled banknote lift unit 61 (see FIG. 9B), and conveys the bundled banknote lift unit 61 by raising the conveyance lift 61A. The bundled banknotes are placed on the lift 61A (see FIG. 9C), the gripping of the bundled banknotes in the gripping and conveying unit 27 is released (see FIG. 9D), and the gripping and conveying unit 27 is moved to the standby position. It moves backward (see FIG. 9E). The standby position of the gripping and transporting unit 27 corresponds to a position for receiving the banknotes to be bound from the transporting unit 25 before binding.

Thereafter, the bundled banknote lift unit 61 raises the conveyance lift 61A on which the bundled banknotes are placed, and the push-out conveyance unit 62A of the extrusion mechanism 62 is brought into an extruded state by the link mechanism 61B in accordance with the rise of the conveyance lift 61A (FIG. 9 ( F)), and the bundled banknotes placed on the transport lift 61A are set in the extrusion transport unit 62A (see FIG. 9G).

The extrusion conveying unit 62A extrudes and conveys the bundled banknotes set in the direction of the bundle discharge port 23 on the front of the apparatus (see FIG. 9H).

Thereafter, the bundled banknote lift unit 61 lowers the transport lift 61A to the lowest position, returns the extrusion transporter 62A to the original standby state in accordance with the operation of the link mechanism 61B interlocked with the lowering operation, and further, It is stored in a bundled banknote storage part 63A in the discharge holding mechanism 63 (see FIGS. 9I and 9J).

The discharge holding mechanism 63 adjusts the bundled banknote stage 63B in the bundled banknote storage part 63A so as to hold the uppermost bundled banknote stored in the bundled banknote storage part 63A at the bundle discharge port 23 (FIG. 9 (K)).

Note that the bill binding device described in the claims of the present application is the bill sorting and binding processing device 1 and the bill binding device 3, the binding stacking unit is the binding stacking unit 21, the first binding stacking unit 21A, the second binding stacking unit 21B, and The third bundling stacking unit 21C, the bundling unit is the bundling unit 22, the bundle transporting unit is the pre-bundling transporting unit 25, the drive control unit is the drive control unit 150, the control unit 170 and the dimension adjustment drive control unit 160, and the stacking space is the stacking space 31, the set dimension management unit is the set dimension management unit 180, the accumulation space adjustment unit is the dimension adjustment mechanism 35, the banknote reversing unit is the banknote reversing unit 15, the sorting and stacking unit is the stacker 16, the reject unit is the first reject unit 17 and the second reject unit. This corresponds to the reject unit 20.

Next, the operation of the banknote classification and binding processing device 1 according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the control unit 170 related to the bill initial setting process.

10 is a process of automatically setting the stacked banknotes of the first binding stacking unit 21A, the second binding stacking unit 21B, and the third binding stacking unit 21C as an initial setting.

10 determines whether or not an initial setting start operation of the initial setting start button 131 has been detected (step S11).

When the initial setting start operation is detected (Yes at Step S11), the controller 170 determines whether or not the first transport banknote has been detected (Step S12). In addition, a 1st conveyance banknote is a conveyance banknote thrown in from the hopper part 11 so that it may set to 21A of 1st bundling accumulation parts on the operator side. When the initial setting start operation is detected, the control unit 170 determines that the bill initial setting process is being performed, and the bill reversing unit 15 on the second transport path 18B passes through the non-reversing route.

When the control unit 170 detects the first transport banknote (Yes at Step S12), the control unit 170 acquires the banknote type of the first transport banknote from the banknote identification unit 14 (Step S13), and sets the banknote type of the first transport banknote to the first. It is set as a stacked banknote of the stacking unit 21A (step S14), and it is determined whether or not a preliminary setting operation of the preliminary setting button 133 has been detected (step S15).

When the preliminary setting operation is not detected (No at Step S15), the control unit 170 determines whether the second transport banknote is detected (Step S16). In addition, a 2nd conveyance banknote is a conveyance banknote thrown in from the hopper part 11 in order to set as an accumulation banknote of the stacking part 21B for 2nd binding on the operator side. The controller 170 determines that the bill initial setting process is being performed, and the bill reversing unit 15 on the second transport path 18B passes through the non-reversing route.

When the control unit 170 detects the second transport banknote (Yes at Step S16), the control unit 170 acquires the banknote type of the second transport banknote from the banknote identification unit 14 (Step S17), and sets the second banknote type of the second transport banknote to the second. It is set as a stacked banknote of the stacking unit 21B (step S18), and it is determined whether or not a preliminary setting operation of the preliminary setting button 133 has been detected (step S19).

When the preliminary setting operation is not detected (No at Step S19), the control unit 170 determines whether the third transport banknote is detected (Step S20). In addition, a 3rd conveyance banknote is a conveyance banknote thrown in from the hopper part 11 so that it may set as an accumulation banknote of the stacking part 21C for 3rd binding on the operator side. The controller 170 determines that the bill initial setting process is being performed, and the bill reversing unit 15 on the second transport path 18B passes through the non-reversing route.

When the control unit 170 detects the third transport banknote (Yes at Step S20), the control unit 170 acquires the banknote type of the third transport banknote from the banknote identification unit 14 (Step S21), and sets the third transport banknote type to the third banknote type. It is set as a stacked banknote of the stacking unit 21C (step S22), and it is determined whether or not an initial setting completion operation of the initial setting completion button 132 has been detected (step S23).

When the initial setting completion operation is detected (Yes at Step S23), the control unit 170 ends the processing operation illustrated in FIG.

Further, when the initial setting completion operation is not detected (No at Step S23), the control unit 170 determines whether an initial setting start operation of the initial setting start button 131 is detected (Step S24).

Moreover, when the initial setting start operation is detected (Yes at Step S24), the control unit 170 starts resetting the stacked banknotes of the first bundling stacking unit 21A and determines whether the first transport banknote has been detected. Therefore, the process proceeds to step S12.

Further, when the first transport banknote is not detected (No at Step S12), the control unit 170 proceeds to Step S12 to monitor whether or not the first transport banknote is detected.

Further, when the initial setting start operation is not detected (No at Step S11), the control unit 170 ends the processing operation illustrated in FIG.

Moreover, when the preliminary setting operation is detected (Yes at Step S15), the control unit 170 sets the stacked banknotes of the second binding stacking unit 21B as a standby (Step S25), and performs the preliminary setting for the third binding stacking unit 21C. In order to monitor whether or not an operation has been detected, the process proceeds to step S19.

If the second transport banknote is not detected (No at Step S16), the control unit 170 proceeds to Step S15 in order to determine whether or not a preliminary setting operation is detected.

If the preliminary setting operation is detected (Yes at Step S19), the control unit 170 sets the stacked banknotes of the third binding stacking unit 21C as a preliminary (Step S26), and whether or not the initial setting completion operation is detected. The process proceeds to step S23.

If the third transport banknote is not detected (No at Step S20), the control unit 170 proceeds to Step S19 to monitor whether or not a preliminary setting operation is detected.

In addition, when the initial setting start operation is not detected (No at Step S24), the control unit 170 proceeds to Step S23 to monitor whether or not the initial setting completion operation is detected.

In the banknote initial setting process shown in FIG. 10, an initial setting start operation is detected, and the first bundling stacking unit 21 A, the second bundling stacking unit 21 B, and the third bundling stacking unit 21 C are inserted with the banknotes inserted from the hopper unit 11. Since the banknote type or the reserve of the stacked banknotes can be set, the stacked banknote setting work of the bundling stacking unit 21 is improved.

For convenience of explanation, in the banknote initial setting process, the 10 banknotes are stacked on the stacked banknotes of the first binding stacking part 21A, the 20 euro banknotes are stacked on the stacked banknotes of the second binding stacking part 21B, and the third binding stacking part 21C is stored. It is assumed that reserves are set for stacked banknotes.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the control unit 170 related to the binding target banknote switching setting process of the binding stacking unit 21.

In the binding target banknote switching setting process shown in FIG. 11, when the binding target banknotes to be stacked in the binding stacking unit 21 reach 100 sheets, the stacked banknotes of the binding stacking unit 21 in which the stacked banknotes are spares are converted to 100. The banknote type that has reached the sheet is switched and set, and the binding target banknotes that have reached 100 sheets are pulled out from the bundling stacking unit 21 through the hand unit 41 of the transport unit 42, and the next banknote stacking of the bundling stacking unit 21 is performed. If the banknotes accumulated in the bundling stacking unit 21 are switched to the reserve, for example, when 10 euro banknotes accumulated in the first bundling stacking unit 21A reach 100 sheets, the third This is a process of switching and setting the stacked banknotes of the binding stacking unit 21C to 10 euro banknotes reaching 100 sheets, and switching and setting the stacked banknotes of the first binding stacking unit 21A that can be stacked.

The control unit 170 illustrated in FIG. 11 collects the transported banknotes in the first binding stacking unit 21A, the second binding stacking unit 21B, and the third binding stacking unit 21C based on the banknote identification result of the banknote recognition unit 14. It is determined whether or not the set banknote is in the middle (step S31).

In step S31, since a 10 euro banknote is being set for the stacked banknote of the first bundling stacking part 21A and a 20 euro banknote is being set for the stacked banknote of the second bundling stacking part 21B, the transport banknote is 10 euro banknote or 20 euro. It is judged whether it is a banknote.

Moreover, the control part 170 determines whether the bundle | banking object banknote integrated | stacked on the stacking | stacking part 21 reached | attained 100 sheets, when a conveyance banknote is the setting banknote integrated | stacked on the binding | stacking stacking part 21 (step S31 affirmation). (Step S32).

In addition, when the banknotes to be bound have reached 100 sheets (Yes at Step S32), the control unit 170 switches and sets 100 banknotes to the stacking unit 21 for preliminary setting (Step S33).

Further, the control unit 170 determines whether or not the bundling stacking unit 21 that stacks the bundling target banknotes reaching 100 sheets is in a countable state (step S34). The countable state means that, for example, the bundling stacking unit 21 that stacks the bundling target banknotes that have reached 100 sheets is pulled out through the hand unit 41 of the transport unit 42, and the bundling stacking is collected. This corresponds to a state in which banknotes to be bundled can be stacked on the portion 21.

If the bundling stacking unit 21 that stacks the bundling target banknotes that have reached 100 sheets is in a countable state (step S35), the control unit 170 sets a reserve for the bundling stacking unit 21 that is currently set (step S35). S36), the processing operation shown in FIG.

In steps S34 and S36, for example, 10 euro banknotes are stacked on the stacked banknotes of the first binding stacking

part

21A, 20 euro banknotes are stacked on the stacking banknotes of the second binding stacking part 21B, and stacked banknotes of the third binding stacking part 21C. In the case of setting up a reserve, when 20 euro banknotes accumulated on the banknotes accumulated in the second bundling stacking part 21B reach 100 sheets, the accumulated banknotes in the third bundling stacking part 21C are switched to 20 euro banknotes. The stacked banknotes of the second bundling stacking part 21 B that have been set and can be stacked are switched and set to reserve.

Moreover, the control part 170 is set to 100 sheets, when a conveyance banknote is not the setting banknote integrated | stacked on the stacking | stacking part 21 for bundling (step S31 negative), when a bundling object banknote has not reached | attained 100 sheets (step S32 negative). When the binding stacking unit 21 that stacks the arrived binding target banknotes is not in a countable state (No at Step S35), the processing operation illustrated in FIG. Note that the case where the counting is not possible in step S35 means that, for example, the binding target banknote is not extracted from the binding stacking unit 21 that stacks the binding target banknotes reaching 100 sheets, and the next banknote stacking acceptance cannot be permitted. It is equivalent.

In the binding target banknote switching setting process shown in FIG. 11, when 100 binding target banknotes to be stacked on one binding stacking part 21 out of three binding stacking parts 21, the stacked banknotes are spare. The stacked banknotes of the binding stacking unit 21 are switched to the banknote type that has reached 100 sheets, and the binding target banknotes that have reached 100 sheets are pulled out from the binding stacking unit 21 through the hand unit 41 of the transport unit 42. When the next banknote stacking of the bundling stacking unit 21 becomes possible, the stacking banknotes of the bundling stacking unit 21 is switched to the reserve, so that the stacking operation of the binding target banknotes is not stopped. While sorting and accumulating two types of banknotes, it is also possible to reliably avoid a situation where the banknotes to be bundled to be stacked on the bundling stacking unit 21 reach 100 sheets and cannot be stacked for the same banknote type. versus The sorting and stacking operation of the bill can be smoothly operated.

Next, a series of operations related to the banknote classification and binding processing device 1 will be described.

For example, as a banknote, the first stacker 16A has a 5 euro banknote, the second stacker 16B has a 50 euro banknote, the third stacker 16C has a 100 euro banknote, the fourth stacker 16D has a 200 euro banknote, and the first reject unit 17A has a 500 euro banknote. In the initial setting, it is assumed that a 10 euro banknote is set in the first bundling stacking portion 21A, a 20 euro banknote is set in the second bundling stacking portion 21B, and a reserve is set in the third bundling stacking portion 21C.

The operator throws banknotes in which a plurality of types of euro banknotes are mixed into the hopper unit 11.

The banknote classification and binding processing device 1 sequentially transports the banknotes thrown into the hopper unit 11 through the feeding unit 12 to the first transport path 18A one by one.

The control part 170 acquires the banknote type of the banknote which passes on the 1st conveyance path 18A from the banknote identification part 14, and notifies the drive control part 150 of the banknote type.

The drive control unit 150 recognizes the banknote type of the banknote passing on the first transport path 18A, and based on the recognized banknote type, the stacker 16 corresponding to the transported banknote (first stacker 16A to fourth stacker 16D). Then, it is conveyed to the first reject unit 17A or the bundling stacking unit 21 (the first bundling stacking unit 21A to the third bundling stacking unit 21C). In addition, the drive control part 150 is conveyed to 17 A of 1st rejection parts, when the banknote conveyed on 18 A of 1st conveyance paths is a 500 euro banknote.

When the banknote is transported on the second transport path 18B through the first transport path 18A, the drive control unit 150 converts the banknote into a specific surface, for example, a front surface through the reversal route or the non-reversal route of the banknote reversal unit 15 and performs this transport. The bill is conveyed to the third conveyance path 18C.

When the transport banknote is a 5-euro banknote, the drive control unit 150 transports the transport banknote to the first stacker 16A according to the banknote type of the transport banknote transported on the third transport path 18C, Sort and accumulate in one stacker 16A.

Further, when the transport banknote transported on the third transport path 18C is a 50 euro banknote, the drive control unit 150 transports the transport banknote to the second stacker 16B, and classifies and accumulates the transport banknote on the second stacker 16B.

Further, when the transported banknote transported on the third transport path 18C is a 100 euro banknote, the drive control unit 150 transports the transported banknote to the third stacker 16C, and classifies and accumulates the transported banknote on the third stacker 16C.

Moreover, when the transport banknote transported on the third transport path 18C is a 200 euro banknote, the drive control unit 150 transports the transport banknote to the fourth stacker 16D, and classifies and stacks the transport banknote on the fourth stacker 16D.

Further, when the transport banknote transported on the third transport path 18C is a 10 euro banknote, the drive control unit 150 transports the transport banknote to the first binding stacking unit 21A, and the transported banknote is transported to the first binding stacking unit. It is classified and accumulated in 21A.

Further, when the transport banknote transported on the third transport path 18C is a 20 euro banknote, the drive control unit 150 transports the transport banknote to the second binding stacking unit 21B, and the transported banknote is transported to the second binding stacking unit. It is classified and accumulated in 21B.

That is, in the case of euro banknotes other than 500 euro banknotes, the drive control unit 150 transports the stacker 16 or the bundling stacking unit 21 via the first transport path 18A → second transport path 18B → third transport path 18C. become.

For example, when the number of banknotes accumulated in the first bundling stacking unit 21A reaches 100, the drive control unit 150 sends 100 bundling target banknotes through the hand unit 41 in the transport unit 42 to the first bundling stacking unit. The banknotes to be bound are pulled out from 21A and transported to the binding unit 22. The control unit 170 switches and sets the stacked banknotes of the third binding unit 21C for reserve to 10 euro banknotes and the stacked banknotes of the first binding unit 21A that can stack banknotes to standby.

The binding unit 22 grips 100 banknotes pulled out from the first binding stacking unit 21 A through the hand unit 41 in the transport unit 42, transfers the banknote to the grip transport unit 27, and holds the 100 sheets gripped by the grip transport unit 27. After setting the binding target banknotes and bundling the binding target banknotes with the binding band, the binding banknotes are conveyed to the binding banknote lift unit 61 in the discharge conveyance unit 28 through the gripping conveyance unit 27.

Bundled banknote lift unit 61, when a bundled banknote is conveyed from gripping and conveying unit 27, conveys the bundled banknote to extrusion conveyance unit 62A at the upper part of the apparatus. The extrusion conveyance unit 62A is accommodated in the bundled bill storage unit 63A of the bundle discharge port 23 on the front side of the apparatus, and is conveyed and held in the bundle discharge port 23 in the vicinity of the hopper unit 11. The operator acquires a bundled banknote from the bundle discharge port 23.

That is, the hopper unit 11 → the first conveyance path 18A → the second conveyance path 18B → the third conveyance path 18C → the bundling stacking unit 21 → the pre-bundling conveyance unit 25 → the bundling unit 22 and the gripping conveyance unit 27 → the bundling bill lift unit 61. → The bundled banknotes are discharged and stored in the bundle discharge port 23 through the path of the extrusion conveyance unit 62A → the bundled banknote storage unit 63A. As a result, the operator can acquire a bundled banknote from the bundle discharge port 23 in the vicinity of the hopper unit 11 without moving from the hopper unit 11.

Further, when the number of banknotes accumulated in the second bundling stacking unit 21B reaches 100, the drive control unit 150 removes 100 banknotes from the second bundling stacking unit 21B through the hand unit 41 in the transport unit 42. The drawn banknotes are pulled out and conveyed to the binding unit 22. The control unit 170 switches and sets the stacked banknotes of the spare first bundling stacking unit 21 A to 20 euro banknotes, and switches and sets the stacked banknotes of the second bundling stacking unit 21 B that can be stacked.

At this time, since it is necessary to set the stacked banknotes of the spare first bundling stacking unit 21A to 20 euro banknotes, the first transport path 18A → the second transport path 18B → the third transport path 18C, that is, from the hopper unit 11 After passing the upper position of the stacker 16, detouring and transporting it to the stacker 16 and the bundling stacking unit 21 to increase the bill conveyance time, so that the dimension adjusting mechanism 35 is changed when changing the banking stacking setting of the bundling stacking unit 21. You can earn the time required to adjust the dimensions.

Moreover, when the drive control part 150 detects the failure of a conveyance banknote on the 2nd conveyance path 18B or the 3rd conveyance path 18C through the detection sensor 19, the conveyance banknote on the 2nd conveyance path 18B and the 3rd conveyance path 18C is detected. It is sequentially conveyed to the second reject unit 20.

As a result, even when a failure of the conveyed banknote is detected downstream from the first reject unit 17B, the failed banknote can be removed from the second reject unit 20 without stopping.

In the first embodiment, when the binding stacking unit 21 is set to three and the binding target banknotes to be stacked in the binding stacking unit 21 reach 100 sheets, 100 binding target banknotes stacked in the binding stacking unit 21 are used.
