In this case, a reset switch 10 is provided which is depressed when clearing the counted value of the sheet or canceling the alarm. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, the number setting switch 7 is arranged with the addition switch 11 and the subtraction switch 12 separated from each other by a predetermined distance.
The switch plate 13 is displayed on the upper surface of the switch plate 13 indicating that one end is an addition side (the right end side in FIG. 1), the other end is a subtraction side (the left end side in FIG. 1), and the center is a fixed value (100). It is a structure arranged in. In the figure, 13a is a printed circuit board, and 13b is a cover.

Next, the configuration of the control system of the sheet counter according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3. P (Plu) when the addition side (addition switch 11) of the switch plate 13 is depressed.
An s) signal and an M (Minus) signal accompanying the depression of the subtraction side (subtraction switch 12) of the switch plate 13 are supplied to the operation state determination means 14. The operation state determining means 14 determines the ON / OFF state of both switches 11 and 12, and when both switches 11 and 12 are simultaneously turned on, a PM (Plus Minus) signal is supplied to the fixed value setting means 16 as a result. The fixed value setting means 16 sets the set number of sheets to the most frequently used value (for example, 100), and supplies an S100 (Set 100) signal to the set value storage means 17. On the other hand, when the addition switch 11 is turned on,
An O (Plus Only) signal and an MO (Minus Only) signal when the subtraction switch 12 is turned on are supplied to the operation time determination means 15, respectively.

The operation time judging means 15 comprises an addition switch 1
If 1 turns ON, PS (Plus Short)
As a result of supplying the signal to the one-addition means 18,
Is 1 for the set number of sheets stored in the set value storage unit 17.
The addition is performed, and the addition result is stored in the set value storage unit 17 again. When the addition switch 11 has been turned ON for a certain period of time (for example, one second) for more than a predetermined time, the operation time determination unit 15 supplies a PL (Plus Long) signal to the switching unit 19. By the way, this switching means 1
9, a K1 signal indicating the first digit value of the set number stored in the set value storage means 17 is input. When the first digit value is not 0, the switching means 19 outputs
The PL signal is supplied to a rounding means 20. When the first digit is 0, the PL signal is supplied to a 10 adding means 21. As a result, the set value storage means 1
If the addition switch 11 is turned on for a certain period of time when the first digit of the set number stored in 7 is not 0, the PL signal is supplied to the round-up means 20, and the round-up means 20 stores the set value. The first digit of the set number stored in the means 17 is rounded up, 1 is added to the second digit, and the addition result is stored again in the set value storage means 17, while the result is stored in the set value storage means 17. Set number of 1
When the digit is 0, the addition switch 11 is turned on for a certain period of time
Is reached, the PL signal is supplied to the 10-addition means 21. The 10-addition means 21 adds 10 to the set number stored in the set-value storage means 17, and adds the addition result to the set-value storage means 17. Will be remembered again.

On the other hand, when the subtraction switch 12 is turned on, the operation time determination means 15 sets the MS (Minus Sh).
(or) The signal is supplied to the 1-subtracting means 22, and the 1-subtracting means 22 subtracts 1 from the set number stored in the set-value storing means 17 and stores the subtraction result in the set-value storing means 17 again. It has become. When the subtraction switch 12 has been turned on for a certain period of time (for example, one second) for a certain period of time (for example, one second), the operation time determination unit 15 sets the ML (Minus L
ong) signal to the switching means 23. By the way, the K1 signal is input to the switching means 23, and the switching means 23, like the switching means 19, when the first digit of the set number in the set value storage means 17 is not 0, The ML signal is supplied to the truncation means 24. When the value of the first digit is 0, the ML signal is set to 1
It is supplied to the 0 subtraction means 25. As a result, if the first digit of the set number stored in the set value storage means 17 is not 0 and the subtraction switch 12 is turned on for a certain period of time or more, the ML signal is supplied to the cutoff means 24, The truncation unit 24 truncates the first digit of the set number stored in the set value storage unit 17 and stores the result back in the set value storage unit 17.
If the subtraction switch 12 is turned ON for a certain period of time while the first digit of the set number stored in 7 is 0, the ML signal is supplied to the 10 subtraction means 25, and the 10 subtraction means 25 The set number stored in the value storage unit 17 is subtracted by 10 and the result of the subtraction is stored in the set value storage unit 17 again.

The set value storage means 17 stores an SD (Set Data) signal corresponding to the set value in the limit determination means 2.
The limit determining means 26 determines whether the set value is between a lower limit (for example, 1) and an upper limit (for example, 200). Also,
When the set value reaches the upper limit value or the lower limit value and the addition switch 11 or the subtraction switch 12 is turned on,
If, set the number of sheets from the upper limit to the lower limit,
Or, update from the lower limit to the upper limit, and
1 (Set 1) signal, S200 (S
et 200) is supplied to the set value storage means 17. The operability is improved by updating the set number to the lower limit value or the upper limit value as described above. Since the number of sheets that can be counted at one time in a sheet counting machine is usually about 1 to 200 sheets, the lower limit of the set number is normally set to 1 and the upper limit is set to 200.

Next, the sheet count setting process of the sheet counting machine of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

The operation state judging means 14 comprises an addition switch 11
Is turned on (step S1), and when the addition switch 11 is turned on, the 1 adding means 18 adds 1 to the set value (step S2). Next, the limit determining means 26 determines whether the set value has reached the upper limit (200) (step S3). If the set value has not reached the upper limit, the process proceeds to step S5, while When the set value has reached the upper limit value, the set value is updated to the lower limit value (1) (step S4), and the process proceeds to the determination in step S5. Next, the operation time determination unit 15 determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed since the addition switch 11 was turned on (step S5). If the predetermined time has not elapsed, the process proceeds to step S9. After a certain time,
The switching means 19 determines whether the first digit of the set value is 0 (step S6). 10 if the first digit of the set value is 0
While the adding means 21 adds 10 to the set value (step S7), if the first digit of the set value is not 0, the round-up means 20 rounds up the first digit of the set value and adds 1 to the second digit. (Step S8). After the end of step S7 or step S8, the process returns to the determination in step S3.

Next, the operation state determination means 14 determines whether the addition switch 11 has been turned off (step S).
9) If the addition switch 11 is turned off, the paper sheet count setting process is ended. If the addition switch 11 is not turned off, the subtraction switch 12 is turned on.
It is determined whether or not has become (step S10). If the subtraction switch 12 is not ON, the above-described step S
On the other hand, when the subtraction switch 12 is turned on while the process returns to the determination of 3, the set value is the most frequently used value 10 based on the fact that both switches 11 and 12 are turned on at the same time.
It is set to 0 (step S11). Thereafter, when both switches 11 and 12 are turned off (step S1).
2), the paper sheet counting number setting process ends.

On the other hand, if the addition switch 11 has not been turned on in step S1, the operation state judgment means 14 judges whether or not the subtraction switch 12 has been turned on (step S13). If the number 12 has not been turned on, the paper sheet count setting process is terminated, while if the subtraction switch 12 has been turned on, the 1 subtraction means 22 subtracts 1 from the set value (step S14).
Next, the limit determining means 26 determines whether the set value has reached the lower limit value (1) (step S15). If the set value has not reached the lower limit value, the process proceeds to step S17, while When the set value has reached the lower limit value, the set value is updated to the upper limit value (200) (step S16), and the process proceeds to the determination of step S17. Next, the operation time determination means 15
Determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed since the subtraction switch 12 was turned on (step S17). If the predetermined time has not elapsed, the process proceeds to step S21.
If the predetermined time has elapsed, the switching unit 23 determines whether the first digit of the set value is 0 (step S18). If the first digit of the set value is 0, the 10-subtraction means 25 subtracts 1 from the set value.
While subtracting 0 (step S19), if the first digit of the set value is not 0, the truncation unit 24 cuts off the first digit of the set value (step S20). Step S19
Alternatively, after the end of step S20, the process returns to the determination of step S15.

Next, the operation state determination means 14 determines whether the subtraction switch 12 has been turned off (step S2).
1) When the subtraction switch 12 is turned off, the paper sheet count setting process ends, while when the subtraction switch 12 is not turned off, the addition switch 11 is turned on.
Is determined (step S20). If the addition switch 11 is not ON, the above-described step S
On the other hand, when the addition switch 11 is turned on while returning to the determination of No. 15, the set value is the most frequently used value 1 based on the fact that both switches 11 and 12 are simultaneously turned on.
00 is set (step S23). Thereafter, if both switches 11 and 12 are turned off (step S
24), the paper sheet count setting processing ends.

The present invention has the following modifications. the above
In the embodiment, the upper limit of the set number is set to 200. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the upper limit of the set number may be set to an arbitrary value such as 120 or 150 in accordance with the specification of the sheet counter. It may be.
