Abstract

A sheet handling device includes: a first storage; a second storage using a storage method different form that of the first storage; a transporter that transports a sheet; and a controller that controls the transporter to transport the sheet. When the second storage is neither a transport source of the sheet nor a transport destination of the sheet, the controller controls the transporter to transport the sheet at a first speed. When the second storage is at least the transport source of the sheet or the transport destination of the sheet, the controller controls the transporter to transport the sheet at a second speed lower than the first speed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sheet handling device, comprising:
a first storage that stores a sheet;
a second storage that stores the sheet by a method different from a method by which the first storage stores the sheet;
a transporter to transport the sheet inside the sheet handling device; and
a controller that controls the transporter to transport the sheet, wherein
when the second storage is neither a transport source of the sheet nor a transport destination of the sheet, the controller controls the transporter to transport the sheet between the transport source and the transport destination along a transport path of the transporter at a first speed,
when the second storage is at least the transport source of the sheet or the transport destination of the sheet, the controller controls the transporter to transport the sheet between the transport source and the transport destination along the transport path of the transporter at a second speed lower than the first speed,
the second storage includes a tape type storage that stores the sheet by winding the sheet together with a tape around a drum, and
when storing a plurality of the sheets in the tape type storage, the controller controls the tape type storage to change a winding speed of the tape and the sheets based on the transport of the sheets at the second speed.

2. The sheet handling device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first storage includes a stack type storage that stores the sheets by stacking the sheets in a vertical direction or arranging the sheets in a horizontal direction, and
the stack type storage and the tape type storage are disposed in a safe.

3. The sheet handling device according to claim 2 , wherein
the first storage further includes a temporary storage separate from the stack type storage,
the temporary storage stores the sheets and feeds out the stored sheets, and
the temporary storage is disposed outside the safe.

4. The sheet handling device according to claim 3 , wherein
the controller performs a process of controlling the transporter to store the sheets taken into the sheet handling device in at least the tape type storage or the stack type storage,
when performing the process in a first mode, the controller controls the transporter to transport the sheets to be stored in the tape type storage to the tape type storage at the second speed and,
when performing the process in the first mode, the controller controls the transporter to transport the sheets to be stored in the stack type storage to the temporary storage at the second speed before transporting the sheets to the stack type storage, and
the temporary storage stores the sheets to be stored in the stack type storage.

5. The sheet handling device according to claim 2 , wherein
after all the sheets to be stored in the stack type storage are stored in the temporary storage, the controller controls the temporary storage to feed out the sheets stored in the temporary storage to the transporter, and
the controller controls the transporter to transport the sheets fed out of the temporary storage to the stack type storage at the first speed.

6. The sheet handling device according to claim 3 , wherein
the controller performs a process of controlling the transporter to store the sheets taken into the sheet handling device in at least the tape type storage or the stack type storage,
when performing the process in a second mode, the controller controls the transporter to transport the sheets to be stored in the tape type storage to the temporary storage at the first speed before transporting the sheets to the tape type storage and,
when performing the process in the second mode, the controller controls the transporter to transport the sheets to be stored in the stack type storage to the stack type storage at the first speed, and
the temporary storage stores the sheets to be stored in the tape type storage.

7. The sheet handling device according to claim 6 , wherein
after all the sheets to be stored in the tape type storage are stored in the temporary storage, the controller controls the temporary storage to feed out the sheets stored in the temporary storage to the transporter, and
the controller controls the transporter to transport the sheets fed out of the temporary storage to the tape type storage at the second speed.
