Paper Sheet Storage Identification for Correct Device Attachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In a configuration where a storage part is provided in a paper sheet processing device removably, there is a risk of the storage part being attached to the wrong device, leading to inconveniences and potential theft when multiple devices are present.
Innovation Solution
The paper sheet processing device includes a storage part that can store and discharge sheets, with a main body part that has a memory to identify the storage part and track the number of sheets stored, preventing incorrect attachment by matching identification information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a storage part is provided in a paper sheet processing device removably, then the operation of moving banknotes taken out from the change machine to a collection bag can be omitted, but a storage part detached from one paper sheet processing device may be attached to another paper sheet processing device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces identification information as an intermediary mechanism between the storage part and main body part. This identification information acts as a mediator that verifies the correct pairing of components, preventing the storage part from being attached to the wrong main body part while maintaining the convenience of removable storage parts.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the main body part reads identification information from the storage part upon attachment. This feedback loop verifies whether the storage part is correctly paired with the main body part, allowing the system to detect and prevent incorrect attachments while maintaining operational ease.
2Loss of time
If a storage part is provided in a paper sheet processing device removably, then time required for cash managing operation is reduced, but complexity of managing multiple storage parts increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the storage part to self-identify through its identification information. When a storage part is attached to a main body part, the system automatically reads and verifies the identification information, allowing the storage part to essentially manage its own identity and pairing without requiring manual tracking or complex management procedures.

AI summary
An object is to prevent inconveniences that, in a configuration in which a storage part is provided in a paper sheet processing device removably, a storage part detached from one paper sheet processing device is attached to another paper sheet processing device. Provided is a paper sheet processing device capable of receiving paper sheets, including a storage part that is capable of storing received paper sheets therein and capable of discharging stored paper sheets and a main body part including the storage part removably, wherein the main body part includes a memory part that memorizes therein identification information with which the storage part corresponding to the main body part is identifiable and storage information with which number of paper sheets stored in the storage part is specifiable.
