    摘要: Method (1) for storing a series of flexible documents in a system, the system comprising one storing and issuing module, one conveyor belt, configured for supporting and transporting the flexible documents toward the at least one storing and issuing module at known conveying speed vc(t), one sensor group, configured to sense any flexible document B(m) transported on the conveyor belt and provide corresponding sensing information, and a central processing unit, operatively connected to the sensor group and the at least one storing and issuing module. The method (1) includes, for an mth flexible document B(m) of the series, the steps of: (1.1) sensing, through sensor group, sensing information regarding flexible document B(m), (1.2) providing within a known prediction time instant tp(m) from sensing, the sensing information to processor; (1.3) determining, through the processor: based on the received sensing information and conveying speed vc(t) of conveyor belt, a subsequent joint time instant tj(m), wherein the rear end of the flexible document B(m) will have entered the storing and issuing module and will be engaged by the holding means with the transport tape, based on a diameter of an assembly formed by storage roller and transport tape rolled together with any previously engaged flexible document around the storage roller, an acceleration value (at), and based on the acceleration value (at), a deceleration value (dect); (1.4) calculating a pattern of linear speed vt(m)(t) at which transport tape must be moved by storage roller, and (1.5) controlling actuation of the holding means at tj(m) and, based on the pattern of linear speed vt(m)(t), one or more respective control signal to the motor, causing control of the storage roller rotation, and a movement of the transport tape according to the calculated speed pattern vt(m)(t).

    摘要: A sheet-type medium accumulating and separating device includes a frame and a paper pressing mechanism. The frame is provided with an storage cavity for accommodating sheet-type media. The storage cavity is provided with a paper inlet, a paper outlet, and a paper kicking roller. A paper supporting plate for supporting the media is further provided in the storage cavity. The paper pressing mechanism includes a paper pressing plate and a driving assembly. The paper pressing plate is provided with a first position and a second position arranged in the direction of stacking. The paper pressing plate includes a paper pressing part arranged within the storage cavity. The driving assembly is in transmission connection with the paper pressing plate. When the paper pressing plate is in the first position, the paper pressing part is adjacent to the paper outlet, to press the sheet-type media towards the paper kicking roller.

    摘要: A sterilizing media cassette is described for docking with a self-service terminal or a docking terminal. The sterilizing media cassette has a body having a lower portion and four sides. The body is adapted to hold a stack of media items such as banknotes on support members positioned above the lower portion of the body. A lid is provided that couples to the body. The lid forms an enclosed inner space when coupled to the body. An ozone gas source and/or a heat source is mounted on an inner surface of the body or the inner surface of the lid. A controller activates the ozone gas source and/or a heat source to sterilize the stack of media items. This may be done for a predetermined fixed period of time after the sterilizing media cassette is docked with a self-service terminal or a docking terminal.

    摘要: A banknote storage container (1) comprising a housing (2) enclosing an internal banknote receiving compartment (8), said housing (2) including a banknote input aperture (3) in communication with a banknote receiving compartment ingress opening (3′); the banknote receiving compartment (8) includes a pair of pivotable bascule members (4, 5), said bascule members (4, 5) disposed in opposing lateral positions within the banknote receiving compartment, and each of said pair of bascule members (4, 5) includes a gate element (16) disposed at an end of the bascule member proximal to the ingress opening (3′) and a banknote contact portion (15) at an end of the bascule member distal from the ingress opening (3′); and the banknote contact portion (15) of each of said bascule members (4, 5) protrudes into the banknote receiving compartment (8) such that when a leading edge of a banknote received into said banknote receiving compartment (8) simultaneously comes into contact with the banknote contact portion (15) of each of said bascule members (4, 5), the bascule members pivot from an ingress opening open position to an ingress opening closed position where the gate element (16) of each of said bascule members obstructs the ingress opening (3′) to prevent ingress of a subsequent banknote or retrieval of the received banknote from without the banknote storage container.

    摘要: A money depositing and dispensing device includes a storing unit, a conveying unit, a power-supply operation unit, a power-supply control unit, and a display control unit. The storing unit stores money. The conveying unit conveys the money. The power-supply operation unit receives operation concerning a power supply of the money depositing and dispensing device. If the power-supply operation unit receives the operation, on condition that the money conveyed by the conveying unit is absent, the power-supply control unit turns off the conveying unit. On condition that the conveying unit is conveying the money, the display control unit causes a display unit to display an image indicating a reason for not turning off the conveying unit.

    摘要: An automatic teller machine includes a banknote conveyance channel, a banknote recycling channel, and a banknote circulation channel. The banknote conveyance channel includes an annular channel, a first branch channel, a second branch channel, a third branch channel, a fourth branch channel, and a fifth branch channel. A banknote-in mechanism communicates with the annular channel via the first branch channel. A temporary storage mechanism communicates with the annular channel via the second branch channel. A banknote-out mechanism communicates with the annular channel via the third branch channel. Two ends of an identification mechanism communicate with the annular channel via the fourth branch channel and the fifth branch channel, respectively. A recycling box communicates with the banknote conveyance channel via the banknote recycling channel. A circulation box communicates with the banknote circulation channel via the banknote circulation channel.
