Paper sheet storage device
A sheet storing device includes: a rotary drum; a tape that winds a sheet on the rotary drum; a guide that guides the tape and the sheet to be wound on the rotary drum; and a frame that accommodates the rotary drum and the guide. The frame includes a first frame and a second frame. The first frame and the second frame are connected movably relative to each other to change the frame between an open state and a closed state. The second frame supports the guide to cause at least a part of the guide to move relative to the second frame in a direction away from the second frame in the open state.
1 . A sheet storing device, comprising:
a rotary drum;
a tape to be wound on an outer circumferential surface of the rotary drum so as to wrap a sheet around the rotary drum;
a frame that includes a first frame and a second frame, the frame forming a space which accommodates the rotary drum; and
an engagement member turnably engaged with the sheet storing device, wherein
the first frame and the second frame are movably connected relative to each other to allow a transition between a closed state and an open state,
the closed state is a state in which the space is covered by the second frame and is not exposed,
the open state is a state in which the space is not covered by the second frame and is exposed,
the first frame includes a first wall,
the second frame includes a second wall that has a plate shape and is turnably supported by the first frame,
in the closed state, the second wall is opposed to the first wall,
in the open state, the second wall is inclined at an inclination angle of 45 degrees or more and 90 degrees or less with respect to the first wall,
the tape moves as the engagement member is turned in the open state, and
the engagement member has a plate shape.
2 . The sheet storing device of claim 1 , wherein the engagement member is exposed to an outside of the sheet storing device in the open state.
3 . The sheet storing device of claim 1 , wherein
the second frame includes a pulley on which the tape is wound,
the tape is disposed in the second frame so that a portion of the tape has, through the pulley, a two-layer structure in a region opposed to the second frame, and
during the transition from the closed state to the open state, the portion of the tape in the two-layer structure moves with the second frame so as to be inclined with respect to the first wall.
4 . The sheet storing device of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the tape that is located in a region opposed to the second frame is inclined with respect to the second wall in the open state.
5 . The sheet storing device of claim 1 , further comprising:
an opening for taking the sheet from an outside to an inside of the sheet storing device; and
a support shaft that supports the second frame turnably relative to the first frame, wherein
a distance between the opening and the support shaft is larger than a distance between the rotary drum and the support shaft.
6 . The sheet storing device of claim 5 , wherein a distance between a reel that holds the tape and the support shaft is larger than a distance between the rotary drum and the support shaft.
7 . The sheet storing device of claim 5 , wherein a guide is provided at the opening, the guide protruding outward from the sheet storing device and being opposed to the tape.
8 . The sheet storing device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first reel that holds the tape serving as a first tape;
a second tape to be wound with the first tape on the outer circumferential surface of the rotary drum so as to wrap the sheet around the rotary drum; and
a second reel that holds the second tape, wherein
in a region opposed to the second frame, the first tape and the second tape overlap each other and hold the sheet between the first and second tapes to transport the sheet, and
the rotary drum wraps therearound the sheet together with the first tape and the second tape.
9 . A sheet storing device, comprising:
a rotary drum;
a tape to be wound on an outer circumferential surface of the rotary drum so as to wrap a sheet around the rotary drum;
a frame that is a casing of the sheet storing device, wherein the frame includes a first frame and a second frame, and the frame forms a space which accommodates the rotary drum; and
an engagement support engaged with and turnably relative to the sheet storing device, wherein
the first frame and the second frame are movably connected relative to each other to allow a transition between a closed state and an open state and fully envelop the rotary drum in the closed state,
the closed state is a state in which the space is covered by the second frame and is not exposed,
the open state is a state in which the space is not covered by the second frame and is exposed,
the first frame includes a first wall,
the second frame includes a second wall that has a plate shape and is turnably supported by the first frame,
in the closed state, the second wall is opposed to the first wall,
in the open state, the second wall is inclined at an inclination angle of 45 degrees or more and 90 degrees or less with respect to the first wall, and
the tape moves in accordance with movement of the engagement support in the open state.
10 . The sheet storing device of claim 9 , wherein the engagement support is exposed to an outside of the sheet storing device in the open state.
11 . The sheet storing device of claim 9 , wherein the engagement support is a rigid body.
12 . The sheet storing device of claim 9 , wherein
the first frame is larger than the second frame and includes a plurality of walls including the first wall,
in the closed state, the rotary drum is enveloped by the plurality of walls of the first frame and the second wall of the second frame, and
in the open state, the rotary drum is exposed from a region where the second wall of the second frame has been located in the closed state and is covered with the plurality of walls of the first frame.
13 . The sheet storing device of claim 9 , wherein
a portion of the tape that is located in a region opposed to the second frame is inclined with respect to the second wall in the open state and is exposed outside the first frame, and
the tape is connected to the rotary drum.
14 . The sheet storing device of claim 9 , further comprising:
an opening for taking the sheet from an outside to an inside of the sheet storing device; and
a support shaft that supports the second frame turnably relative to the first frame, wherein
a distance between the opening and the support shaft is larger than a distance between the rotary drum and the support shaft.
15 . The sheet storing device of claim 14 , wherein a distance between a reel that holds the tape and the support shaft is larger than a distance between the rotary drum and the support shaft.
16 . The sheet storing device of claim 14 , wherein a guide is provided at the opening, the guide protruding outward from the sheet storing device and being opposed to the tape.
