Patent number: 10138086Abstract: A paper sheet handling apparatus has a pickup roller, a stage, a pressure sensor, and a measuring unit. For each feeding process, in which the pickup roller feeds paper sheets until the pressure detected by the pressure sensor becomes less than a predetermined set value, the stage presses paper sheets against the pickup roller until the pressure detected by the pressure sensor reaches another set value. The pickup roller operates at a feeding speed of a first speed if a calculated feeding value is less than a threshold, and operates at a feeding speed of a second speed that is slower than the first speed if the calculated feeding value is equal to or greater than the threshold, the calculated feeding value being calculated based on: the amount of movement of the stage measured by the measuring unit; and the number of paper sheets fed by the feeding process.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2017Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: FUJITSU FRONTECH LIMITEDInventors: Takashi Wada, Satoshi Hayashi, Yuji Tanaka, Katsuo Takahashi, Hayato Minamishin

Publication number: 20180297801Abstract: A control method of a paper sheet storage mechanism that can wind or feed out tape while preventing the tape from becoming loose while maintaining a certain level of tension of the tape. A drum control unit controls a drum driving source in such a manner that a tape speed detected by a tape speed detection unit is constant. When a drum winds a paper sheet, a reel driving source rotatably drives a pair of reels in the direction of feeding out a pair of pieces of tape. A reel control unit controls the reel driving source in such a manner that reeling speeds detected by reeling speed detection units are lower than a tape speed. Further, rotation shafts of the reels are provided with a torque limiter that causes the rotation shafts to idle when a torque greater than a prescribed value is applied to the rotation shafts.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2018Publication date: October 18, 2018Inventors: Hayato Minamishin, Mitsutaka Nishida, Tatsuya Shimamura, Naoto Ikeda, Yutaka Namikawa
