Abstract

A paper-sheet punching device shown in FIG. 4 includes a motor 22 for driving a reciprocatingly movable punching blade 21 and is provided with a punching process unit 20′ for punching two or more holes at one end of paper-sheets 3 and with a CPU 55 for controlling this unit. The CPU 55 detects whether the punching blades 21 rushes into a home position in which the stop position of the punching blades 21 is allowed, executes reverse rotation brake control on the motor 22 for a predetermined period of time from the point of time when the punching blades 21 rushes into the home position, and prolongs the reverse rotation brake control on the motor 22 after the punching blades 21 reaches a predetermined position. It becomes possible to stop the punching blade within the home position when the punching blade stops.

Claims4

Dependent claims

A paper-sheet punching device that punches a hole through a predetermined paper-sheet, the paper-sheet punching device comprising:

punching unit including a motor for driving a reciprocatingly movable punching blade, having a home position of the punching blade and punching two or more holes at one end of said paper-sheet;
and
control unit for controlling said punching unit, wherein said control unit is configured to:
set divisional control intervals by separating a specific interval during a period of return path time of the punching blade into a plurality of intervals,
set a period of target passing time of the punching blade for each of said divisional control intervals or for every set-group of the divisional control intervals so that the period of target passing time of the punching blade has a relationship such that the period of target passing time thereof corresponding to the specific interval which is close to the home position of the punching blade is longer than the period of target passing time thereof corresponding to the specific interval which is away from the home position of the punching blade,
measure a period of actual passing time of the punching blade for each of said divisional control intervals,
compare the period of target passing time set for said divisional control interval and the period of measured passing time obtained by the actual measurement for each of said divisional control intervals or for every set-group of the divisional control intervals, and
control said motor for punching blade drive in a next interval of said divisional control intervals or in a next set-group of the divisional control intervals so as to be driven when, based on a result of the comparison, the period of measured passing time is longer than the period of target passing time or control said motor for punching blade drive in a next interval of said divisional control intervals or in a next set-group of the divisional control intervals so as to be braked when, based on a result of the comparison, the period of measured passing time is shorter than the period of target passing time, wherein the control device is further configured to:
measure a period of actual passing time of the punching blade for the specific interval just before said punching blade returns its home position;
calculate a reverse rotation brake force retain time based on the period of measured passing time of the punching blade;
perform a reverse rotation brake on said motor for the punching blade drive only for the reverse rotation brake force retain time when said punching blade returns its home position;
and
perform a short brake on said motor for the punching blade drive to stop the punching blade.

10 more elements

A control method of a paper-sheet punching device including a motor for driving a reciprocatingly movable punching blade, having a home position of the punching blade and punching a hole through a predetermined paper-sheet, the method comprising:

a step of setting divisional control intervals by separating a specific interval during a period of return path time of the punching blade into a plurality of intervals;
a step of setting a period of target passing time of the punching blade for each of said divisional control intervals or for every set-group of the divisional control intervals so that the period of target passing time of the punching blade has a relationship such that the period of target passing time thereof corresponding to the specific interval which is close to the home position of the punching blade is longer than the period of target passing time thereof corresponding to the specific interval which is away from the home position of the punching blade;
a step of measuring a period of actual passing time of the punching blade for each of said divisional control intervals;
a step of comparing the period of target passing time set for said divisional control interval and the period of the measured passing time obtained by the actual measurement for each of said divisional control intervals or for every set-group of the divisional control intervals;
and
a step of controlling said motor for the punching blade drive in a next interval of said divisional control intervals or in a next set-group of the divisional control intervals so as to be driven when, based on a result of the comparison, the period of measured passing time is longer than the period of target passing time, or said motor for the punching blade drive in a next interval of said divisional control intervals or in a next set-group of the divisional control intervals so as to braked when, based on a result of the comparison, the period of measured passing time is shorter than the period of target passing time, wherein the step of controlling said motor for the punching blade drive includes:
a sub-step of measuring a period of actual passing time of the punching blade for the specific interval just before said punching blade returns its home position;
a sub-step of calculates a reverse rotation brake force retain time based on the period of measured passing time of the punching blade;
a sub-step of performing a reverse rotation brake on said motor for the punching blade drive only for the reverse rotation brake force retain time when said punching blade returns its home position;
and
a sub-step of performing a short brake on said motor for the punching blade drive to stop the punching blade.
