[0026]
[Connection Relationship Between Shaft, Gear, and Reel]
Next, the connection relationship between the shaft, gear, and reel will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B. FIG. 5A is a side view showing a sheet accommodating device according to an embodiment. FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view of the sheet accommodating device according to the embodiment, taken along line AA. The AA cross section is a cross section of the longitudinal cross section along the alternate long and short dash line shown in FIG. 3 as viewed in the A direction. As shown in FIG. 5A, the shaft 11 of the drum 11D is connected to the gear 11GA. The gear 11GA is connected to the gear 13GC via a gear 12GB. The gear 12 GB is an idler gear that connects the gear 11 GA and the gear 13 GC.
[0027]
A one-way clutch (not shown) is attached to the gear 13GC and disposed coaxially with the gear 13GD via the shaft 13. The gear 13GD is fixed to the shaft 13. The gear 13 b> GD is connected (transmitted) or disconnected (cut off) of power by the one-way clutch in accordance with the rotation direction of the gear 13 GC.
[0028]
The one-way clutch is of a sprag type or cam type, and the power is connected and disconnected according to the speed difference between the outer ring and the inner ring. For example, in the one-way clutch, when the outer ring side is rotated clockwise, the inner ring side is de-energized and slips. In the one-way clutch, when the outer ring side is rotated counterclockwise, the inner ring side is connected with power and rotates counterclockwise. In the one-way clutch, when the inner ring side is rotated counterclockwise, the outer ring side is disconnected for power and runs idle. In the one-way clutch, when the inner ring side is rotated clockwise, the outer ring side is connected with power and rotates clockwise.
[0029]
The gear 13GD is connected to the gears 14GE, 15GF, 16GH. In the shaft 14 on which the gear 14GE is disposed, the reels 14L and 14R are disposed via a torque limiter (not shown). The reels 15L and 15R are disposed on the shaft 15 on which the gear 15GF is disposed via a torque limiter (not shown).
[0030]
A one-way clutch is attached to the gear 16GH and disposed coaxially with the gear 16GI via the shaft 16. The gear 16 GI is fixed to the shaft 16. The gear 16GI is connected and disconnected by a one-way clutch in accordance with the rotation direction of the gear 16GH.
[0031]
The shaft 13, gears 13GC and 13GD, the shaft 14, the gear 14GE, the shaft 15, the gear 15GF, the shaft 16 and the gears 16GH and 16GI are reels which are brought together for winding when winding the strip by rotation of the drum. These are an example of a transmission part which transmits rotation of a to a drum and assists rotation of a drum. In the present embodiment, “co-rotating” means, for example, that the strip material is supplied from the reels 14L to 15R according to the winding of the strip material (tapes 28L to 29R) on the drum 11D by the rotation of the drum 11D. It means that the reels 14L to 15R rotate in conjunction with being pulled out.
[0032]
The shaft 13 and the gears 13GC and 13GD are an example of a first transmission member to which the rotation of the drum by the drive unit is transmitted. The shaft 16 and the gears 16GH and 16GI are examples of the second transmission member.
[0033]
[Rotation of Gears in Winding Operation]
FIG. 6A is a schematic view showing the rotation of gears in the winding operation of the paper sheet accommodating apparatus according to the embodiment. Hereinafter, the broken arrows indicate the rotation caused by bringing the tapes 28L to 29R together with the winding operation of the drum 11D. Further, solid arrows indicate rotation due to the transmission of the rotation of the gear 11GA during the winding operation of the drum 11D.
[0034]
When the drum 11D is rotated clockwise by the drum drive mechanism 30, the gear 13GC rotates clockwise (direction C1) via the gears 11GA (rotation in the direction A1) and 12 GB (rotation in the direction B1). At this time, since the one-way clutch of the gear 13GC is disposed in the free state, power is not transmitted from the gear 13GC to the shaft 13.
[0035]
On the other hand, the tapes 28L-29R are wound around the drum 11D, and the tapes 28L-29R are pulled out from the reels 14L-15R, respectively. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6A, the reels 14L and 14R are rotated counterclockwise (broken line arrows). The rotation of the co-rotation causes the shafts 14, 15 and the gears 14GE, 15GF to rotate counterclockwise (direction E1, direction F1) via a torque limiter (not shown).
[0036]
Then, the counterclockwise rotation of the gears 14GE and 15GF is transmitted, and the gear 13GD rotates clockwise (direction D1). At this time, the relationship between the rotation speed of the gear 13GC and the rotation speed of the gear 13GD is set as "the rotation speed of the gear 13GC> the rotation speed of the gear 13GD". As a result, in the one-way clutch (not shown) of the gear 13GC, the powers of the gear 13GC and the gear 13GD are not connected, and the free state in which the rotation on the outer ring side is fast is maintained.
[0037]
In addition, the gear 13GD is connected to the gear 16GH. The gear 16GH transmits power to the shaft 16 via the one-way clutch, and the shaft 16 rotates counterclockwise. Here, since the shaft 16 is fixed to the gear 16GI, the gear 16GH tries to rotate counterclockwise (direction H1). However, since the gear 16GI is connected to the gear 11GA, the gear 16GI rotates clockwise (direction A1) at the speed of the drum 11D.
[0038]
At this time, the one-way clutch (not shown) of the gear 16GH makes the rotation on the outer ring side that transmits the co-rotation from the reels 14L to 15R faster than the rotation on the inner ring side transmitted from the gear 16GI. The side is connected when it is counterclockwise. That is, “rotational speed of gear 16GH> rotational speed of gear 16GI” is set. As a result, on the shaft 16 via the one-way clutch (not shown), the rotational force by the co-rotation of the reels 14L to 15R and the rotational force of the drum 11D by the drum drive mechanism 30 collide.
[0039]
Here, since the drum 11D is rotating in the A1 direction at a constant speed by the drum drive mechanism 30, the rotation of the gears 16GI in the I1 direction due to the co-rotation of the reels 14L to 15R is suppressed (the brake is applied ) Will be. On the other hand, since the rotation of the gear 16GI in the I1 direction by the co-rotation of the reels 14L to 15R is a force to further rotate the drum 11D in the A1 direction, the rotational force to assist the rotation of the drum 11D Become. The difference in speed is eliminated by torque limiters (not shown) disposed between the reels 14L to 15R and the shafts 14 and 15 which are reel axes.
[0040]
[Rotation of Gears During Rewinding Operation]
FIG. 6B is a schematic view showing the rotation of gears during the rewinding operation of the paper sheet accommodating device according to the embodiment. When the drum 11D is rotated counterclockwise by the drum drive mechanism 30, the gear 13GC rotates counterclockwise (direction C2) via the gears 11GA (rotation in the direction A2) and 12 GB (rotation in the direction B2). At this time, the one-way clutch (not shown) of the gear 13GC is brought into the connected state by rotation in the reverse direction to winding ("the number of rotations of the gear 13GC> the number of rotations of the gear 13GD"). Power is transmitted to the Thereby, the gear 13GD rotates counterclockwise (direction D2), and the gears 14GE, 15GF, and 16GH rotate clockwise (direction E2, direction F2, direction H2).
[0041]
By this gear connection method, the rotational speeds of the gear 11GA and the gears 14GE and 15GF are set so as to satisfy “the rotational speed of the gear 11GA the number of rotations of the gear 16GI") ), The outer ring side is in the cut state (free state) when clockwise. By doing this, the one-way clutch of the gear 16GH is in a disconnected state (free state) where power is not transmitted.
[0044]
Next, the procedure of deriving the gear ratio according to this embodiment will be described. In the following, first, the condition of the gear ratio at the time of rewinding operation is derived, and then the condition of the gear ratio at the time of winding is derived. The rewinding operation is an operation in which the drum 11D unwinds the wound tapes 28L to 29R and rewinds them to the reels 14L to 15R. The winding operation is an operation in which the drum 11D winds the tapes 28L-29R supplied from the reels 14L-15R.
[0045]
(Setting of Gear Ratio in Rewinding Operation) A
procedure for deriving the gear ratio in rewinding operation will be described below. At the time of rewinding, the rotational speed of the gear 11GA and the gears 14GE and 15GF is set as "the rotational speed of the gear 11GA
