Counting disc of a sheet counting apparatus

The rotating disk (1) has sections (2) equally spaced around its circumference, with tongues (3) extending in the direction of rotation of the disk (1). Each section (2) has a count opening (9) which causes a pneumatic count pulse to be output when it is covered by a sheet. Each section (2) also has a suction depression (4) whose width and depth increase in the direction opposite to the sense of rotation of the disk (1). Each section (2) also has a group of suction openings lying one after the other arranged in the depression (4). The openings are intermittently connected to vacuum sources via suction channels (6,7) such that in operation, the section in question leaf through the corners of all sheets in a stack. This separates the sheets from each other by suction and deformation and brings about the counting of the sheets. The suction openings in question lie in the middle of the suction depression (4). The section (7) of the channel opening out into the openings is aligned perpendicular to the disk plane and to the base of the suction depression. The suction force thus acts centrally on the depression and perpendicular to the base of the depression.

Device for stopping suction heads of paper sheet counting apparatus at determined angular positions

The device of the invention is assembled in a paper sheet counting apparatus to stop and held the suction heads at the predetermined positions at which one of the suction heads is precisely opposite to the face of the paper sheet in the face-to-face relationship. The suction heads are carried by a rotary cylinder having peripheral face on which a group of recesses each corresponding to each of the suction heads is formed. One of the recesses receives a pawl of a stopper when the rotary cylinder is stopped to terminate the paper sheet counting operation. The stopper is held at a retracted position when the counting operation is continued and moved to an engaging position when the one cycle counting operation is terminated. A slipping slope diverges from each recess outwards. The stopper is provided with an elongated hole in which a shaft is inserted, and the stopper is swinged about the shaft to be moved between the retracted position and the position to be engaged with one of the recesses. A spring is connected to the stopper to bias the stopper in one longitudinal direction with the shaft positioning at one extremity of the hole. In order to stop the rotary cylinder, the cylinder is rotated in the reverse direction, and the stopper is moved to the engaging position. Whereupon the pawl of the stopper slips down along the slipping slope to fall into one of the recesses. At that time, impact force is damped by the action of the bias spring.

A carriage having (1) an infrared energy ray emitter and detector and (2) an encoder is displaced over a side of stacked glass sheets to sense density of reflected energy rays as a function of carriage position on the stack. The sensed density of reflected infrared energy rays from the edges of the outermost sheets and the interface between adjacent sheets is less than the sensed density of the reflected rays from the sides of the sheets. The output signal of the encoder and of the detector is acted on to determine the number of sheets in the stack.

Apparatus and method for measuring the number and/or value of an unknown quantity of articles

A load cell weighs an unknown quantity of used bank notes. A micro-processor receives a signal representative of the weight of the notes and processes the weight representative signals to obtain an output signal representing the value of the notes weighed, or generates a warning signal indicating that a reliable value of the notes cannot be derived. The note value or warning is given by a visual display panel. The processing means obtains the output by dividing the total weight of the used notes by the average unit weight of a used note, and comparing the quotient from that division with the nearest whole number to determine whether the quotient differs from the nearest whole number by ±0.35. If the quotient differs from the nearest whole number by less than the ±0.35, the micro-processor multiplies the nearest whole number by the unit value of a note to give the money value of the notes weighed. If the quotient differs from the said nearest whole number by more than ±0.35, the micro-processor generates the warning signal.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COUNTING STACKED ELEMENTS

La présente méthode propose selon un premier aspect une méthode de comptage d'éléments empilés formant sur une tranche de la pile au moins une ligne de variation de niveau. La méthode comprend la mesure par télémétrie de d'une variation de niveau sur une ligne de points traversant toute la tranche de la pile et l'enregistrement d'un signal brut correspondant. La méthode comprend par la suite l'analyse du signal brut pour estimer un ou plusieurs paramètres relatifs à la structure de la pile suivi par le traitement du signal brut par un ou plusieurs traitements statistiques sur la base des paramètres estimés et l'analyse du signal traité afin de déterminer le nombre d'éléments empilés. The present method proposes according to a first aspect a method of counting stacked elements forming on a slice of the stack at least one level variation line. The method includes measuring by telemetry a level variation on a line of points crossing the entire edge of the stack and recording a corresponding raw signal. The method then comprises analyzing the raw signal to estimate one or more parameters relating to the structure of the stack followed by the processing of the raw signal by one or more statistical processing based on the estimated parameters and the signal analysis. processed to determine the number of stacked items.

Automatic Sheet Counting System for Corrugated Cardboard

A system for automatically counting the number of corrugated cardboard sheets comprises a first laser sensor A to sense the height of a sheet of corrugated cardboard, relative to a reference plane, and passes this information to a central computer D. A second laser sensor C can sense the height of a stack of corrugated cardboard sheets, which is also sent to central computer D. The central computer can calculate the number of corrugated cardboard sheets in the stack by dividing the height of the stack measured at C by the height of a sheet measured at A. The central computer may incorporate a touch screen and can print out a label to be attached to the relevant stack of sheets. The computer may also be connected to other remote computers via a network, to transfer stock control data.
