Solution Overview

Problem

Existing cash processing apparatuses face operational issues due to banknotes in abnormal states blocking the inlet of the receiving cavity, preventing continuous conveyance during the banknote accumulation process.

Innovation Solution

A control method and device for a banknote accumulation device that determines abnormal banknotes based on tilt angle, length, sticking, overlapping, or inadequate spacing, and adjusts the support plate to increase the banknote accumulation space, allowing the conveying mechanism to handle these banknotes effectively.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If the support plate moves to maintain a set height of banknote accumulation space, then banknotes are neatly stacked in the receiving cavity, but abnormal banknotes can block the inlet of the receiving cavity during accumulation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebanknote stacking neatnessVSAvoidcontinuous conveyance capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The support plate is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to dynamically adjust its position. When abnormal banknotes are detected, the control system drives the support plate to move, thereby changing the accumulation space height to accommodate abnormal banknotes and prevent blocking, while maintaining neat stacking during normal operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of accumulation space height by controlling the support plate position. When abnormal banknotes are detected, the control system adjusts the support plate position to increase the accumulation space height, allowing abnormal banknotes to be accommodated without blocking the inlet, thus maintaining continuous conveyance capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If the accumulation space height is kept at a set value, then banknotes are stacked neatly, but abnormal banknotes cannot be accommodated and cause blocking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebanknote stacking neatnessVSAvoidability to handle abnormal banknotes
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The support plate transitions from a fixed position to a dynamic, adjustable position. The system can adapt the accumulation space height based on the state of incoming banknotes, allowing it to handle both normal and abnormal banknotes effectively while maintaining stacking neatness during regular operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes the accumulation space height parameter by controlling the support plate position. This allows the system to adapt to different banknote states - maintaining a set height for normal banknotes to ensure neat stacking, and increasing the height when abnormal banknotes are detected to accommodate them without blocking

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Provided are a method for controlling a banknote accumulation device, and a banknote accumulation device and a cash processing apparatus. The method includes: determining whether a banknote to enter a receiving cavity is an abnormal banknote; where the abnormal banknote is a banknote that meets any of the following: the tilt angle of the banknote exceeds a first preset value, the length of the banknote exceeds a second preset value, the banknote and another banknote are stuck together, the banknote overlaps another banknote, or the spacing between the banknote and an adjacent banknote is smaller than a third preset value; in response to determining that the banknote to enter the receiving cavity is the abnormal banknote, controlling a support plate to move to increase the height of the banknote accumulation space; and controlling a banknote conveying mechanism to convey the abnormal banknote into the receiving cavity.
