Banknote Bundling Device Paper Tape Loop Forming Mechanism

The bundling device automatically performs loop-forming, heat bonding, and cutting operations without requiring manual intervention. The system feeds paper tape, forms loops around banknote stacks, applies heat for bonding, and cuts the tape automatically, enabling the device to serve itself and eliminating the need for continuous manual operation.

The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with an automated mechanical system. The manual actions of forming loops, applying heat, pressing, and cutting are substituted by a coordinated system of conveyance wheels, heating elements, pressing mechanisms, and cutting devices that operate automatically to bundle banknotes.

The patent introduces a guiding groove as an intermediary structure that channels and directs the paper tape during the loop-forming process. This groove ensures the tape follows the correct path, preventing misalignment and formation failures, thereby maintaining high reliability in automated loop-forming operations.

The patent employs heat bonding as a parameter change mechanism. By applying thermal energy to the paper tape at specific locations, the tape transitions from a flexible state to a bonded state, securing the loop formation reliably. This thermal parameter change ensures consistent and dependable loop formation without manual intervention.

The patent combines multiple bundling operations into a single integrated device. The loop-forming mechanism, heat bonding mechanism, pressing mechanism, and cutting mechanism are merged into one cohesive system that processes banknote stacks continuously, eliminating the need for separate manual operations and reducing overall device complexity despite the automated functions.

The bundling device is designed with multi-functionality to handle various bundling tasks. The same device can process different stack sizes, form loops, apply heat bonding, press the bundles, and cut the tape, making it a universal solution that replaces multiple specialized manual tools and operations.

The patent extracts the hazardous manual operations from the bundling process. By automating the tape feeding, loop-forming, heat bonding, pressing, and cutting operations, the system removes the worker's hands from proximity to moving parts and hot surfaces, eliminating the risk of finger injuries from tape entanglement or contact with heated components.

The device performs all bundling operations autonomously without requiring worker intervention during the critical phases. The system feeds its own paper tape, forms loops, applies heat, presses bundles, and cuts tape automatically, making the device self-sufficient and eliminating safety risks associated with manual operation during these hazardous processes.
