Abstract
A paper sheet accumulating device includes an accumulating part in which paper sheets are accumulated, an impeller that sends the paper sheets to the accumulating part, and a support mechanism that supports the impeller. The support mechanism includes a first rotation shaft that supports the impeller rotatable, a support member provided with the first rotation shaft, a second rotation shaft that supports the support member rotatable in a direction of the support member moving toward and away from the accumulating part, and a biasing member that biases the support member in a direction of the impeller moving toward the paper sheets accumulated in the accumulating part.
Claims6
A paper sheet accumulating device comprising:
- an accumulating part in which paper sheets are accumulated;
- an impeller that sends the paper sheets to the accumulating part;
- and
- a support mechanism that supports the impeller, wherein
- the support mechanism includes
- a first rotation shaft that supports the impeller rotatable,
- a support member provided with the first rotation shaft,
- a second rotation shaft that supports the support member rotatable in a direction of the support member moving toward and away from the accumulating part, and
- a biasing member that biases the support member in a direction of the impeller moving toward the paper sheets accumulated in the accumulating part.
A control method of a paper sheet accumulating device comprising:
- causing an impeller to send paper sheets to an accumulating part;
- accumulating the paper sheets on a placing table of the accumulating part, and causing a lower end detecting part to detect that the placing table has reached a lower end position with accumulation of the paper sheets;
- and
- causing a pivot detecting part to detect that a support member has pivoted on a second rotation shaft to a predetermined pivot position using a support mechanism including a first rotation shaft that supports the impeller rotatable, the support member provided with the first rotation shaft, the second rotation shaft that supports the support member rotatable in a direction of the support member moving toward and away from the accumulating part, and a biasing part that biases the support member in a direction of the impeller moving toward the paper sheets accumulated in the accumulating part, wherein
- even after the lower end detecting part detects that the placing table of the accumulating part has reached a lower end position with accumulation of the paper sheets, control is performed to continue rotation drive of the impeller, and
- when the pivot detecting part detects that the support member has pivoted to the predetermined pivot position, control is performed to stop the rotation drive of the impeller.
