Banknote Storing Device with Moving Platform and Narrowing Basin
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current banknote storage devices are costly and complex, requiring manual ordering and pre-formed sacks, which increases handling time and costs in counting and accounting rooms, and are not suitable for all commercial activities.
Innovation Solution
A device with a platform that forms a narrowing slot and basin portion in the sack to allow orderly stacking of banknotes, using a simple sack structure and moving platform for efficient filling and sealing, allowing banknotes to be stacked and sealed with minimal manual intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If manual ordering of banknotes is performed in counting and accounting rooms, then the banknotes can be arranged in an orderly way, but treatment times and costs increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The invention applies preliminary action by organizing banknotes into orderly stacks with support bases before they are placed in the sack. The banknotes are pre-arranged in a structured manner during the filling process, so that when the sack is opened in the counting and accounting rooms, the banknotes are already in an orderly condition ready for treatment, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual reorganization.
2Stability of the object's composition
If expensive pre-formed sacks with support bases are used, then banknotes can be stacked orderly by fall, but the cost of the sacks increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention uses simple, inexpensive sacks without complex pre-formed support bases. Instead of relying on expensive specialized sacks, the system employs ordinary sacks that can be easily manufactured and disposed of after use. The orderly stacking is achieved through the filling mechanism rather than through expensive pre-formed sack structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention applies self-service by allowing banknotes to organize themselves into orderly stacks through the natural falling process. The sack structure includes simple internal elements that guide the banknotes to form stacks with support bases automatically, without requiring complex pre-formed structures or external intervention. The banknotes essentially organize themselves during the filling process.
3Stability of the object's composition
If complex banknote storing devices are used, then banknotes can be arranged orderly in specialized sacks, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention applies segmentation by dividing the sack into functional zones: a filling zone for receiving banknotes, a stacking zone with simple internal elements that guide formation of stacks, and a support base area. This segmentation allows complex functionality to be achieved through simple, distributed structural elements rather than a complex integrated mechanism.
4Ease of operation
If banknotes are stored in bulk without orderly arrangement, then handling is simpler, but pre-counting times increase in counting and accounting rooms
Solution Approach 1:
The invention applies preliminary action by organizing banknotes into orderly stacks with support bases before they are placed in the sack. The banknotes are pre-arranged in a structured manner during the filling process, so that when the sack is opened in the counting and accounting rooms, the banknotes are already in an orderly condition ready for treatment, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual reorganization.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device enables efficient, low-cost storage and sealing of banknotes in a vertical position, reducing pre-counting times and eliminating the need for expensive pre-formed sacks, while maintaining the orderliness necessary for counting and accounting processes.
Implementation Method 1
the basin portion has the function of receiving the falling banknotes in a stacking condition, while the platform supports temporarily the banknotes received into the basin portion
Implementation Method 2
receiving the banknotes by fall and in condition of substantial stacking

AI summary
An orderly storing device (31) for banknotes (32) in sack comprising a pair of edge retaining members (34A, 34B) for holding a sack (33) in a substantially vertical position The input edges (36a, 36b) of the sack can be spaced away one another for receiving the banknotes (32) by fall and in condition of substantial stacking into a basin portion (43) The storing device (31) comprises a platform (38) with a slot (39) provided to be crossed by a section (41) of the sack (33) below the input edges. The basin portion (43) forms a narrowing portion alongside the slot and has the function of receiving the falling banknotes, while the platform (38) supports temporarily the banknotes received into the basin portion The platform is moveable vertically between a high position (HP), for loading the banknotes in an empty sack, and a low position (LP) of maximum filling. Moving means (46) move the platform (38) downwards, following the progressive storage of the banknotes in the basin portion (43) while welding means (47) weld opposing faces (48a, 48b) of the sack at the end of storage of the banknotes.
