Abstract

A paper-sheet punching device shown in FIG. 4 includes a motor 22 for driving a reciprocatingly movable punching blade 21 and is provided with a punching process unit 20′ for punching two or more holes at one end of paper-sheets 3 and with a CPU 55 for controlling this unit. The CPU 55 detects whether the punching blades 21 rushes into a home position in which the stop position of the punching blades 21 is allowed, executes reverse rotation brake control on the motor 22 for a predetermined period of time from the point of time when the punching blades 21 rushes into the home position, and prolongs the reverse rotation brake control on the motor 22 after the punching blades 21 reaches a predetermined position. It becomes possible to stop the punching blade within the home position when the punching blade stops.

Claims

1. A paper-sheet punching device that punches a hole through a predetermined paper-sheet, the paper-sheet punching device being provided with:

punching means including a motor for driving a reciprocatingly movable punching blade and punching two or more holes at one end of said paper-sheet; and

control means for controlling said punching means, characterized in that said control means;

sets divisional control intervals by separating a specific interval during a period of return path time of the punching blade into a plurality of intervals,

sets a period of target passing time of the punching blade for each of said divisional control intervals or for every set-group of the divisional control intervals,

measures a period of actual passing time of the punching blade for each of said divisional control intervals,

compares the period of target passing time set for said divisional control interval and the period of measured passing time obtained by the actual measurement, and

controls, based on a result of the comparison, drive or brake of said motor for the punching blade drive in a next interval of said divisional control intervals or in a next set-group of the divisional control intervals.

2. The paper-sheet punching device according to claim 1, characterized in that said control means:

controls the motor for the punching blade drive in the next divisional control interval so as to be braked when said period of measured passing time is shorter than the period of target passing time; and

controls the motor for the punching blade drive in the next divisional control interval so as to be driven when said period of measured passing time is longer than the period of target passing time.

3. A control method of a paper-sheet punching device including a motor for driving a reciprocatingly movable punching blade and punching a hole through a predetermined paper-sheet, characterized in that the control method comprises:

a step of setting divisional control intervals by separating a specific interval during a period of return path time of the punching blade into a plurality of intervals,

a step of setting a period of target passing time of the punching blade for each of said divisional control intervals or for every set-group of the divisional control intervals,

a step of measuring a period of actual passing time of the punching blade for each of said divisional control intervals,

a step of comparing the period of target passing time set for said divisional control interval and the period of the measured passing time obtained by the actual measurement, and

a step of controlling, based on a result of the comparison, drive or brake of said motor for the punching blade drive in a next interval of said divisional control intervals or in a next set-group of the divisional control intervals.

4. A paper-sheet punching device for punching a hole through a predetermined paper-sheet, the paper-sheet punching device being provided with:

punching means including a motor for a punching blade drive that drives a reciprocatingly movable punching blade and punching two or more holes at one end of said paper-sheet; and

control means for controlling said punching means, characterized in that said control means;

detects whether the punching blade rushes into a home position in which the stop position of said punching blade is allowed,

executes a reverse rotation brake of said motor during a period of predetermined time from a point of time when said punching blade rushes into the home position, and

prolongs said reverse rotation brake based on time monitoring when said punching blade reaches a predetermined position in the period of predetermined time.

5. The paper-sheet punching device according to claim 4, characterized in that said control means stops the reverse rotation brake based on the result of said time monitoring, and changes over the control from said reverse rotation brake to short-circuit braking.

6. The paper-sheet punching device according to claim 4, characterized in that said control means monitors the rotation direction of said motor when prolonging the reverse rotation brake of said motor for the punching blade drive, and stops said reverse rotation brake at the point of time when it is detected that the rotation direction of said motor changes.

7. A control method of a paper-sheet punching device which moves a punching blade reciprocatingly by driving a motor for the punching blade drive when punching two or more holes at one end of a paper-sheet, characterized in that the control method comprises:

a step of detecting whether the punching blade rushes into a home position in which the stop position of said punching blade is allowed,

a step of executing a reverse rotation brake of said motor during a period of predetermined time from the detected point of time when said punching blade rushes into the home position, and

a step of prolonging said reverse rotation brake based on time monitoring when said punching blade reaches a predetermined position in the period of predetermined time.
