A banknote rolling-out control method and apparatus and a banknote storage device are provided for solving the technical problem of device failure caused by the case where a banknote can easily be stuck in the device after being stored on a reel for a long time. The method includes: storing a rolling-in time at which a banknote enters a device and a corresponding banknote sequence number; obtaining a rolling-out time of a current banknote which needs to be rolled out; obtaining the rolling-in time corresponding to the banknote sequence number of the current banknote; and determining whether the rolling-in time and the rolling-out time satisfies a preset time condition, and rolling out the current banknote at a rolling-out speed lower than a preset speed in a case of a positive determination.

A paper sheet storage device includes a supply reel that supplies a rolled tape; a winding drum around which a banknote is wound together with the tape supplied from the supply reel; a first detection unit that detects a supply amount of the tape supplied from the supply reel; and a second detection unit that detects the winding drum of which the outer diameter becomes equal to or larger than a predetermined outer diameter when the banknote is wound around the winding drum together with the tape.

A banknote storage unit comprising: a first tape reel banknote storage device; a second tape reel banknote storage device; and a drive transmission means pivotable between engagement with said first tape reel banknote storage device and engagement with said second tape reel banknote storage device.

A sheet storing device includes: a rotary drum; at least one tape that wraps a sheet around the rotary drum; and at least one first pressing member that is shifted from the tape along an axis of the rotary drum and presses the sheet against the outer circumferential surface of the rotary drum. The first pressing member presses the sheet against the rotary drum at or near a starting point at which the tape to be wound on the rotary drum first comes into contact with the rotary drum.

A paper sheet handling device (banknote depositing and dispensing machine) includes: at least one storage unit (storage module) configured to store paper sheets therein and feed stored paper sheets therefrom; and a control unit configured to control storage and feeding of paper sheets into and from the storage unit. The control unit prohibits one of storage of paper sheets into the respective storage unit and feeding of paper sheets from the respective storage unit when the stored amount of the respective storage unit is within a preset range.

A paper sheet handling machine (for example, a banknote handling machine (10)) includes: a storage unit (for example, an escrow unit (20), banknote storages (30), a banknote storage cassette (40)) configured to store a paper sheet transported from a transport unit (16); and a shifting unit (19) provided in the transport unit (16) and configured to shift the paper sheet transported by the transport unit (16), in a width direction orthogonal to a direction in which the paper sheet is transported, according to a position, in the width direction, of a specific member (for example, a tape (136) in the escrow unit (20), a pair of feed rollers of a banknote feeding mechanism (32, 42) provided in the banknote storages (30), a banknote storage cassette (40)) in the storage unit.

A banknote temporary storage device includes: a timing unit, configured to obtain a time period between a time when the front end of a banknote enters into a first sensor and a time when the back end of the banknote leaves the first sensor; a calculating unit, configured to calculate a width of the banknote based on the time period, calculate a bump radius based on the width, and determine a condition of generating a bump on the storage coiling block; a detecting unit, configured to detect whether the condition of generating a bump on the storage coiling block is met, based on a real-time radius; and an interval control unit, configured to change an interval between banknotes on the storage coiling block in a pre-set control manner to eliminate a bump, in a case that the condition is met.

An object of the invention is to provide a banknote storing/feeding unit which is capable of effectively utilizing winding spaces of a drum and a reel, to increase the number of banknotes to be stored. The banknote storing/feeding unit includes the drum which winds and rewinds a banknote together with a tape, and the reel which winds and rewinds the tape on and from the drum. A guide body swinging according to winding and rewinding of the tape and the banknote on and from the drum is provided between the drum and the reel. The guide body has a guide passage that guides the tape and the banknote to be wound and rewound on the drum. The guide body swings centering on a supporting point located within a region parallel to a virtual line connecting a rotational center of the drum and a rotational center of the reel.

A stripping device for stripping sheet-shaped objects from a roller includes at least one stripper. The stripper is mounted rotatably about a bearing and includes stripping portion configured to be tapering to a point and a support portion which is different from the stripping portion. The stripping portion and the support portion are arranged relative to each other and the stripper is mounted such that, when the stripper is pressed against the roller with prestressing during operation, the stripper has two mutually spaced apart contact points with the roller, which contact points are defined by the stripping portion and the support portion of the stripper.
