Banknote Storage Device Temporary Accumulation Region
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing banknote storage devices face inefficiencies due to the slow processing time of storing banknotes, as they are loaded and stored one by one, leading to inadequate accumulation and increased operational time.
Innovation Solution
A banknote storage device with a temporary accumulation region between the loading and storage areas, utilizing a push-in mechanism to temporarily store banknotes and then collectively push them into the storage, reducing the number of individual loading and storage operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If banknotes are stored one by one using the push-in mechanism, then the banknotes are properly accumulated in the storage, but the processing time becomes excessively long
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by introducing a temporary accumulation region where banknotes are first gathered before being pushed into the storage. This allows multiple banknotes to be prepared in advance, and then pushed collectively in one operation, rather than pushing them one by one directly into the storage.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage process is segmented into two distinct stages: first, banknotes are accumulated in the temporary accumulation region; second, the accumulated banknotes are pushed into the storage. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple banknotes in batches, improving efficiency while maintaining proper accumulation.
2Device complexity
If banknotes are pushed into storage directly from the loading region, then the storage operation is simple, but the banknotes cannot be properly accumulated due to repulsion between charged banknotes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a temporary accumulation region as an intermediary between the loading region and the storage. This intermediate space allows banknotes to be properly accumulated without direct interaction that causes repulsion, while still maintaining a relatively simple storage operation.
3Productivity
If multiple banknotes are accumulated in the temporary accumulation region before pushing, then the processing time is reduced, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds a spatial dimension by introducing the temporary accumulation region, which allows banknotes to be accumulated in a separate space before being pushed into storage. This dimensional addition enables batch processing without requiring complex mechanical mechanisms for individual banknote handling.

AI summary
A banknote storage device includes a housing member having a loading region in which a banknote is loaded; a storage which is disposed to be adjacent to the housing member and in which the banknote is stored; a temporary accumulation region provided between the loading region and the storage so as to temporarily accumulate the banknote to be stored in the storage; and a push-in mechanism that pushes the banknote loaded to the loading region, into the temporary accumulation region and that pushes a plurality of the banknotes accumulated in the temporary accumulation region, into the storage.
