FIG. 5 shows an example of the circuit configuration of the present invention, and the overall control is a control unit 100 including a microprocessor, ROM, RAM and the like.
The denomination switch 11
1, commands of the start switch 113, the reset switch 115, etc. are input, and the detection signals of the sensors SEN1 to SEN8 are input. Further, the control unit 100 controls the display content of the display unit 110 and the tape cutting motor 102 and the like. The tape cutting motor 102 and the like are motors that drive the drive cam 30 to rotate. Further, the control unit 100 controls lighting of various lamps provided on the operation display panel 11 described above.

The operation of the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 6 and the state diagrams of FIGS. 7 (A) to (F) and FIG.

First, when starting the bundling operation, the operation display panel 11
Turn on the power switch 4 provided in the
S1). As a result, the power lamp 5 is turned on, the heater 24 is heated via the control unit 100 (step S2), the preparation OK lamp 6 is blinked, and the denomination lamp 112 "10,000 yen" is turned on. That is, the denomination is automatically set to "10,000 yen". Then, the control unit 100 determines whether the temperature of the heater 24 is appropriate temperature (step S3), and if not, determines whether it is within a predetermined time (for example, 20 seconds) (step S4). When the above predetermined time has elapsed, the stop lamp 117 is made to blink to notify the occurrence of an abnormality.
In this initial state, the vertical moving table 20 is set to the reference position. If the temperature of the heater 24 is OK, the clamp plate pressing member detection sensor SEN5 determines whether the clamp plate pressing member 45B is at the origin position as shown in FIG. 2 (step S5), and the origin position is determined. If not, the reset lamp 116 blinks to prompt the reset switch 115 to turn on.
When the reset switch 115 is turned on (step S6), the reset lamp 116 is turned on, the fastening plate motor 53 is driven, the screw rod 43 is rotated in the N direction, and the fastening plate pressing member detection sensor SEN5 causes the fastening plate pressing member 45B. Driven until is detected (steps S7, S8). In this case, since opposite screw grooves 43A and 43B are threaded on both ends of the screw rod 43, the fastening plate pressing members 45A and 45B move at the same speed in the C direction, and the spring 46 correspondingly moves. The sliding members 40A and 40B pushed and opened by 47 also slide and move in the C direction. In this way, when the tightening plate pressing members 45A and 45B are returned to the original position, the reset lamp 116 is turned off.

Next, the denomination of the bundle of banknotes 1 to be bundled is set by the denomination instruction switch 111 (step S10), but in the initial state, "10,000 yen" is automatically set as described above. Here, a case of binding 5,000 yen bills will be described. When binding 5,000 yen bills, the denomination switch 111 may be pressed once, and the lamp 112 indicating "five thousand" is turned on in response to this. It is possible to cyclically set the denomination so that if the denomination instruction switch 111 is pressed once more, the setting is "thousand yen", and if it is pressed once more, the setting is returned to "10,000 yen". When the denomination setting of the "five thousand" banknotes is performed in this way, the cover is then opened (step S11). As a result, an opening / closing step (not shown) detects opening of the cover, and the cover lamp 118
Lights up, the tape feed motor 206 is driven, and the tape 2
Are transported by a predetermined length (step S12). Tape 2
Is detected by the tape feed sensor SEN7, and the tip of the tape 2 is a predetermined amount (for example, 20 m
Stop when only m) is supplied. In this state, the tape 2 is as shown in FIG. Thereafter, the bundle of banknotes to be bundled is inserted into the guide plate 15 with its left end regulated as shown in FIG.
While sandwiching it between the control plate and the control plate as shown in FIG.
Insert to the position hitting 16 and bundle (step S1
3). In this first bundle insertion, the banknote bundle 1 is inserted horizontally so that the tape is laid horizontally. After such bundles, the cover lamp 118
Is also turned off (step S14).

Then, by pressing the start switch 113, the binding device 10 starts operating (step S15), and the start lamp 114 is also turned on. When the start switch 113 is turned on, the fastening plate motor 53 is driven, and the screw rod 43 is rotated in the M direction via the pulley 51, the belt 52, and the pulley 50, so that the fastening plate pressing members 45A and 45B move in the B direction, respectively. Then, the fastening plates 14A and 14B attached to the sliding members 40A and 40B are also moved in the B direction (step S20).
Since the total thickness of the banknote bundle 1 is known in advance, the fastening plate 14A
While the moving amount of 14B and 14B is detected by the tightening plate position detection sensor SEN4, the tightening plate motor 53 is stopped when it reaches a predetermined amount (steps S21, S22). The state at this time is shown in FIG. 7 (C).
After that, the bed plate motor 63 is driven (step S23), and the gear 6
The bill tray 12 meshed via 2 is rotated in the direction A as shown in FIG. 7 (D), and continues until two rotations are detected by the base plate position sensor SEN6 (steps S24, S25). At the time of rotation of the banknote loading table 12, the tip of the tape 2 is tightened by the fastening plate 14A.
Since it is sandwiched between the banknote bundle 1 and the banknote bundle 1, the tape 2 is looped around the central portion of the banknote bundle 1 as indicated by 2A in FIG. Further, since the electromagnetic brake 64 is connected to the base plate motor 63, the electromagnetic brake 64 can be actuated when stopped to accurately stop the two-rotation position as shown in FIG. 7 (E). The number of rotations of the bill loading table 12 can be set arbitrarily.

After the base plate motor 63 is stopped, the tape cutting motor 102 is driven (step S26) to drive the tape 2 as shown in FIG. 7 (E).
Is cut, and the tape 2 is heat-bonded and fixed by the heater 24 as shown in FIG. That is, when the tape cutting motor 102 is driven, the drive cam 3 connected to the tape cutting motor 102 is driven.
0 rotates, and the roller 31 engaged with this rotates the spring 3
When pushed up against the elastic force of 2, the arm piece 33 rotates about the shaft 33A as a fulcrum, and the swing pieces 35 and 36 also move to the shafts 35A and 3A, respectively.
By rotating about 6A as a fulcrum, the operating piece 34 moves in the D direction. When the operating piece 34 moves in the D direction, the cutter 23 attached to the tip thereof cuts the tape 2 as shown in FIG. 7 (E), and further enters in the D direction to show in FIG. As described above, the heater 24 presses the cut surface of the tape 2A, and by the heating, the adhesive agent adhered to the tape is melted and adhered. When the drive cam 30 is further rotated, the roller 31 retracts in accordance with the eccentric cam surface, so that the operating piece 34
Also retreats in the E direction. When the operating piece 34 retreats in the E direction and returns to the original position, the tape cutting motor 102 is stopped (step S28). In this way, when the heater 24 and the cutter 23 retract from the tape cutting / adhesion position and the tape cutting motor 102 is stopped, the tightening plate motor 53 is rotated in the reverse direction to rotate the screw rod 43 in the N direction, Clamping plate pressing member 45A
And 45B are moved in the C direction. Even when the tightening pressing members 45A and 45B are moved in the C direction in this manner, the tightening plates 14A and 14B retain the same state because the tape 2A is attached to the outside thereof. At this time, the start lamp 114 is turned off and the buzzer 101 sounds to notify that the horizontal wrapping has ended.

Next, when the cover is opened (step S31) and the bundle of banknotes laid horizontally is taken out (step S32), the fastening plates 14A and 14B are moved in the C direction by the elastic action of the springs 46 and 47,
It returns to the state of FIG. 7 (A). Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the banknote bundle 1 is placed vertically and inserted in the same manner as described above, and then it is determined whether or not it is the first wrapping (step S3).
3) If it is the first time, close the cover (step S40),
After that, the table vertical movement motor 203 is turned on and driven (step S41). In this case, the denomination set by the denomination switch 111 is detected by the position detection sensors SEN1 to SEN3, and the vertical moving table 20 is adjusted to the height of the set denomination from the reference position (steps S42, S44). . Here, since the 5,000 yen bill is set, the position detection piece 204 is the 5,000 yen position detection sensor S.
The table vertical movement motor 203 is driven to move up until detected by EN2. Then, when the detection sensor SEN2 detects the position detection piece 204, the table vertical movement motor 203 is stopped (step S4
5) The tape 2 is conveyed by a predetermined length as described above (step S46), and the process returns to step S20. As a result, vertical laying is carried out, and since it is judged that it is the second time in step S33, the vertical moving table 20 is returned to the reference position (step S50), and the operation ends. As a result, the cross-shaped belt hanging as shown in FIG. 9 is completed and the apparatus stands by in the initial state. Similar banding is performed for other denominations. For example, in the case of a 10,000 yen ticket, horizontal placement is performed at the above reference position, and vertical placement is the height at which the position detection piece 204 is detected by the sensor SEN1. Will be adjusted to.

(Modification of the Invention) Although the banknote bundle is shown in the above-described embodiment, the invention can be applied to other paper sheets in the same manner, and the types thereof (setting of the height position of the vertical moving table) are not limited to three types. It is optional. Further, the horizontal banding is prioritized as the tape winding operation of FIG. 1, and after the vertical banding is completed, the vertical banding is automatically set as the second tape winding operation after a predetermined time has elapsed. You may do it. Further, instruction input means may be provided so that the horizontal and vertical wrappings can be respectively input, and input as a tape winding operation start command. In this case, in the case of vertical banding input, the vertical movement table needs to be positioned according to the instructed type. Furthermore, it is also possible to use the fact that the cover is opened and closed every time and automatically set horizontally and vertically in order based on open / close detection.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the paper sheet binding device of the present invention, by simply replacing the paper sheet bundle with the horizontal placement and the vertical placement, it is possible to reliably wrap it in a cross shape in the center. . Further, it is not necessary to measure the size of the paper sheet bundle each time, and even when storing a large number of paper sheets that are multiplied by a letter, the tape positions are all aligned, so there is no difficulty.
