JAPAN CASH MACHINE CO., LTD.

The present invention provides a paper sheet handling device that can calculate the number of paper sheets in a paper sheet batch being transported on a transport route without requiring complicated processing. The paper sheet handling device includes a transport unit that can transport a paper sheet batch, a shifting unit that shifts according to the thickness of the paper sheet batch when the paper sheet batch is transported, a generating unit that generates thickness information based on a shift amount of the shifting unit, a memory unit that memorizes reference information determined based on the thickness of one paper sheet, and a calculating unit that calculates the number of paper sheets in the paper sheet batch from the thickness information and the reference information.

The controller causes, when the motor temperature becomes equal to or higher than ta 2 , the motor to stop for x 1 seconds each time one banknote is transported until the motor temperature becomes equal to or lower than ta 1 , when the motor temperature becomes equal to or higher than ta 4 , the motor to stop for x 2 seconds each time one banknote is transported until the motor temperature becomes equal to or lower than ta 3 , when the motor temperature becomes equal to or higher than ta 6 , the motor to stop until the motor temperature becomes equal to or lower than ta 4 , and when the reading sensor temperature becomes equal to or higher than tb 2 , the motor to stop until the reading sensor temperature becomes equal to or lower than tb 1 , where tb 1 <tb 2 <ta 1 <ta 2 <ta 3 <ta 4 <ta 6 , and x 1 <x 2.

A paper sheet separation transport device and a paper sheet handling device designed for improved paper jam processing work and other internal maintenance. A feed roller, frictional separating member, drawing transport part that draws out one separated paper sheet, and an axis support part supports at least a set-out roller and the feed roller about an axis to be rotationally movable between a processing enable position and a processing disable position, and the feed roller is at a position adjacent to the drawing transport part when the set-out roller and the feed roller are at the processing enable position, and the feed roller is separated away from the drawing transport part when the set-out roller and the feed roller are retracted to the processing disable position.

A paper sheet separation transport device and a paper sheet handling device. Disclosed is a set-out part, a separating part, a first motor M 1 that drives these parts, a drawing transport part, and a storage transport route that is driven by a second motor M 2 . The drawing transport part includes at least two idle rollers that are supported about an axis at portions of a feed roller, and endless drawing belts that each form a curved drawing transport route with the idle rollers and that travel in a drawing direction to turn a first paper sheet in a direction intersecting with a direction of set-out by the set-out part in cooperation with the idle rollers and transport the paper sheet, and the drawing belts are driven by the second motor.

The present invention enables determination as to whether a banknote 100 is to be discharged even when only the feature quantity of a portion of the banknote is acquired at the time of discharging the banknote in a case in which a transport route length L 1 from a reading position 18 a of an optical recognition sensor 18 to an inlet/outlet 12 as a banknote discharge port is shorter than a total length LA of the banknote in a transport direction. At the time of discharging the banknote 100 already authenticated, a control unit 200 judges the type (denomination) of the banknote on the basis of a feature quantity of a reading target 103 that passes the optical recognition sensor 18 before a leading end 100 a of the banknote 100 transported in a discharge direction protrudes to outside the device from the inlet/outlet 12.

A banknote storage handling device 300 includes a lid unit opening/closing mechanism 410 that moves a lid unit 170 to an open position by moving to a spaced position in a state where the lid body 171 is latched, a loading table 450 that is configured to receive and load paper sheet bundles Bs moved outward from a lateral opening by a paper sheet bundle moving member in accordance with movement of the lid unit to the open position when at a lifted standby position, and to be capable of being lowered from the standby position to a lowered position in a state where the paper sheet bundles are loaded thereon, and a loading table movement mechanism 560 that moves the loading table located at the lowered position to a predetermined paper sheet bundle discharge position.

The present invention includes a stacker unit SU that includes a transport body 500 moving along a transport route 400 while retaining paper sheets in an upright state and stopped at a paper sheet extraction position PP, and clamping means 812 and 803 clamping the paper sheets on the transport body, and that switches the direction of the paper sheets in a process of reciprocatively rotationally moving between an upper limit position and a lower limit position, and an operating mechanism 730 that rotationally moves the stacker unit forward and reversely. The clamping means performs an opening/closing operation to clamp paper sheets when the stacker unit is at the upper limit position, and performs an opening operation to cancel clamping of paper sheets after a time when the stacker unit reaches the lower limit position.

Provided is a circulation-type paper sheet storage unit equipped with circulation units in a casing, enabling to swiftly take measures and perform recovery processing on the user side when the circulation unit malfunctions. The paper sheet storage unit includes circulation units ( 100 and 200 ) that are accommodated in a casing 60 to receive paper sheets transported into the casing by operating upon reception of a drive force from a motor and feed paper sheets stored therein to outside of the casing. The casing includes guide members 620 that serve as a guide at the time of attaching or detaching the circulation unit with respect to the casing, and the circulation unit includes guided members ( 655 A, 675 A, 655 B, and 675 B) which respectively detachably engage with the guide member, and are guided to an installation completion position along the guide members in an engaged state.

The present invention provides a paper sheet handling device that can calculate the number of paper sheets in a paper sheet batch being transported on a transport route without requiring complicated processing. The paper sheet handling device includes a transport unit that can transport a paper sheet batch, a shifting unit that shifts according to the thickness of the paper sheet batch when the paper sheet batch is transported, a generating unit that generates thickness information based on a shift amount of the shifting unit, a memory unit that memorizes reference information determined based on the thickness of one paper sheet, and a calculating unit that calculates the number of paper sheets in the paper sheet batch from the thickness information and the reference information.

Provided is a paper sheet storage handling device which allows paper sheets stored in a paper sheet storage to be automatically taken out with a simpler configuration. A paper money storage handling device 300 comprises: a lid unit opening/closing mechanism 410 which moves a lid unit 170 to an open position by moving to a separation position in a state where a lid body 171 is locked; a loading table 450 which receives and loads a paper sheet bundle Bs moved outward from a lateral opening by a paper sheet bundle movement member, in accordance with the movement of the lid unit to an open position while in an elevated standby position, and which is configured to be able to lower to a lowering position from the standby position in a state where the paper sheet bundle is loaded thereon; and a loading table movement mechanism 560 which moves the loading table at the lowering position to a predetermined paper sheet bundle discharge position.
