Sheet container

Abstract

A paper sheet processing device that accommodates various types of paper sheet performs a smooth accommodating action by accurately performing a full-state detection action in respect of the accommodated paper sheets. Full-state detecting unit 2 of the paper sheet container (paper money container) stores current values exceeding a reference value as detection signals a, b, c and, of the stored detection signals a, b, c, determines that the stacker 42 constituting a paper sheet accommodating section is full based on the detection signal c stored in the substantially latter half period K' of the paper sheet accommodating action period T' by the paper money guiding unit 43.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a paper sheet storage device arranged inside an automatic vending machine, a money exchange machine, and a game machine, and particularly relates to a paper sheet storage device provided with a paper sheet full detection device. Background technique [0002] In each machine main unit such as a vending machine, money changer, game machine, etc., a banknote storage device is generally installed, and the banknotes inserted from the banknote insertion slot are stored in the stacker as the banknote storage unit after calculation. [0003] A conceptual sectional view of important parts of a conventional banknote storage device is shown in Figure 7 As shown, it consists of a banknote guiding device 43 and a motor 44 that drives the banknote guiding device 43. The banknote guiding device 43 presses the banknotes 31 conveyed in the banknote storage device 41 to the stacker 42 through the pressing plate 43a. [0004] Among them,...

Problems solved by technology

[0034] In this banknote storage device 41, as Figure 10 As shown by the current waveform of the electric motor 44, when the electric current value of the electric motor 44 becomes more than the above-mentioned reference value (threshold level) in the middle of the banknote storage operation within the predetermined time Ta, since the predetermined time Ta is stored on the control device Detection signal b', although the banknotes in the stacker 42 are still in a possible state (not full), but the full detection device erroneously judges that the stacker 42 is in a full state, thus causing the problem of terminating the acceptance of the banknotes 31

[0035] In addition, due to the malfunction of the full detection operation caused by handling various types of banknotes like this, it is not only the banknote storage device, but also other paper sheets (for example, coupons or gift certificates, etc.) There is also such a problem in the full detection paper sheet storage device (for example, coupon storage device and gift certificate storage device), especially when storing new banknotes (banknotes) or paper sheets with high hardness ( For example, gift certificates, beer certificates, commodity certificates, etc.) may be incorrectly checked for fullness during storage operations
