  • the temporary storage unit 220 further includes an extendable member 225 that is connected between the inner housing 210 and the seat 223 .
  • the extendable member 225 has a deployable scissor structure, and may be changed according to practical requirements.
  • the temporary storage unit 220 further includes a roller 226 that is connected to the inner housing 210 , and a film 227 that is rolled on the roller 226 and that has an end connected to the seat 223 .
  • the roller 226 is operable by an actuator (not shown) to release the film 227 from the roller 226 , the limiting member 222 , the supporting plates 221 and the torsion springs 224 to move downwardly, or to roll the film 227 thereon so as to pull the seat 223 , the limiting member 222 , the supporting plates 221 and the torsion springs 224 to move upwardly. Since the extendable member 225 has one end connected to the seat 223 , the extendable member 225 would be extended when the seat 223 is moved downwardly.
  • the extendable member 225 is operable by the rolling or unrolling of the roller 226 to vertically move the seat 223 , the limiting member 222 , the supporting plates 221 and the torsion springs 224 above or in the paper sheet storage bag 900 .
  • the purpose of the abovementioned vertical movement is to adjust the altitude of the supporting plates 221 according to the amount of paper sheets 901 contained in the paper sheet storage bag 900 .
  • the film 227 separates the paper sheets 901 from the extendable member 225 to prevent the paper sheets 901 from being clamped by the extendable member 225 .
  • the extendable member 225 also has superior mechanical strength.
  • the sealing unit 240 is disposed on the inner housing 210 , and includes a tab 241 that is disposed adjacent to an upper end of the paper sheet storage bag 900 , and a heating member 242 that is operable to heat the tab 241 .
  • the tab 241 is heated by the heating member 242 , it is operable to abut against and seal a bag opening 910 of the paper sheet storage bag 900 by heat sealing.
  • the paper sheet storage equipment 20 further includes an extendable unit 260 that is disposed above the supporting plates 21 , and a sensor 270 that is disposed at a lower end of the extendable unit 260 .
  • the sensor 270 may be an infrared sensor configured to measure the amount of paper sheets 901 stacked on the supporting plates 21 , thereby ensuring enough temporary storage region (TSR) for storing the paper sheets 901 .
  • FIG. 14 shows that the paper sheets 901 are starting to be stacked on the supporting plates 21 .
  • FIG. 15 shows that the extendable member 225 extends downwardly with more paper sheets 901 are stacked on the supporting plates 21 . After a certain amount of paper sheets 901 are stacked on the supporting plates 21 (see FIG.
  • the limiting member 22 is moved to the disengaging position to allow some of the paper sheets 901 to drop into the paper sheet storage bag 900 (see FIG. 16 ).
  • the supporting plates 21 is downwardly swingable due to the weight of the paper sheets 901 stacked thereon, thereby allowing some of the paper sheets 901 to drop into the paper sheet storage bag 900 , and the supporting plates 21 will be biased by the torsion springs 224 to return to the horizontal position when the weight of the paper sheets 901 remaining on the supporting plates 21 is less than the weight that the torsion springs 224 can withstand.
  • the senor 270 senses that if there is any paper sheet 901 left on the supporting plates 21 , and the extendable unit 260 will be driven to a predetermined altitude. Meanwhile, the extendable member 225 is driven to move the supporting plates 21 upwardly, allowing the paper sheets 901 left on the supporting plates 21 to abut against the extendable unit 260 .
  • the extendable unit 260 Since the extendable unit 260 is fixed at the predetermined altitude, and the supporting plates 21 are continuously moved upward by the extendable member 225 , the paper sheets 901 left on the supporting plates 21 will abut against the extendable unit 260 , allowing the supporting plates 21 to rotate downwardly to form an opening for the paper sheets 901 to pass through the opening and drop into the paper sheet storage bag 900 .
  • the limiting member 222 and the supporting plates 221 of this disclosure provide a simplified and efficient mechanism to control the paper sheets 901 to be stacked on the supporting plates 221 or to be released into the paper sheet storage bag 900 .
