A paper sheet processing device that accommodates various types of paper sheet performs a smooth accommodating action by accurately performing a full-state detection action in respect of the accommodated paper sheets. Full-state detecting unit of the paper sheet container (paper money container) stores current values exceeding a reference value as detection signals a, b, c and, of the stored detection signals a, b, c, determines that the stacker constituting a paper sheet accommodating section is full based on the detection signal c stored in the substantially latter half period K&prime; of the paper sheet accommodating action period T&prime; by the paper money guiding unit

Sheet container

A paper sheet feeder ( ), comprising a bill feeding means ( ) having a motor ( ) for feeding a bill (A) as a paper sheet along a bill feeding route ( ), a bill detection sensor ( ) disposed in the bill feeding route ( ), and a control means for stopping the driving of the motor ( ) after the bill passes the bill detection sensor ( ) and positioning the bill (A) at a specified position on the downstream side of the bill detection sensor ( ), wherein the control means ( ) controls the driving time of the motor ( ) after the bill (A) passes the bill detection sensor ( ) based on a time (T ) required for the bill (A) to pass through the specified interval of the bill feeding route ( ) positioned on the upstream side of the bill detection sensor ( ).

Paper sheet feeder

A paper money identification method and apparatus which can detect when paper money being conveyed slips and identify the paper money according to its slip. A roller pulse synchronized with the rotation of pushing rollers for pushing the paper money to conveying belts is generated by an encode plate and an interrupter, the generated roller pulse and a motor pulse synchronized with the rotation of a motor for driving the conveying belts are compared for their pulse widths, and when there is a difference between their pulse widths, it is detected that the paper money has slipped. And, a feature of the paper money is detected in synchronization with the roller pulse, and the paper money is identified according to the detected feature.
