Here, in order to facilitate comparison with the fare safe 100 according to the present invention, the opening 61 of the conventional safe 60 has a fare. It is displayed so as to have the same width as the opening 13 on the safe 100 side. From FIG. 11, one door 62 needs to have two states, that is, the case where the opening 61 is completely closed and the state where the door 61 is completely opened. As a result, the width of the conventional safe 60 is as follows. As compared with the fare safe 100 according to the present invention, an extra width of “W” is required. That is, the fare safe 100 according to the present invention is smaller than the conventional safe 60 by a width of W (this corresponds to the width of the first door plate 20, the second door plate 30, and the top plate 12). It means that it can be made thin.

さて、営業運転を終えた運転手がこの運賃金庫１００を運賃箱２００の金庫収納部２１０から取り出すべく、運賃箱２００側の操作盤（図示せず）で操作を行うと、第１扉板２０及び第２扉板３０は、図２の（ａ）及び図７に示したように、モータ５０の作用によって自動的に閉じられる（図１１の（ａ）中の（１）の状態）。このとき、各第１扉板２０及び第２扉板３０は、図２の（ａ）に示したように、硬貨収納部１４の上側に位置しているから、各第１扉板２０、第２扉板３０及び天板１２によって硬貨を噛み込むことはない。 When the driver who has finished the commercial operation operates the operation panel (not shown) on the fare box 200 side in order to take out the fare safe 100 from the safe storage unit 210 of the fare box 200, the first door plate 20 is displayed. And the 2nd door board 30 is automatically closed by the effect | action of the motor 50, as shown to Fig.2 (a) and FIG. 7 (state of (1) in (a) of FIG. 11). At this time, since each 1st door board 20 and the 2nd door board 30 are located above the coin storage part 14, as shown to (a) of FIG. Two door plates 30 and the top plate 12 do not bite coins.

第１扉板２０及び第２扉板３０が開口部１３を完全に閉じれば、図示しない運賃箱２００内のロックが外れ、当該運賃金庫１００は運賃箱２００の金庫収納部２１０から取り出し自在になるから、運転者は取手１０ａを持って当該運賃金庫１００を引き出し、運賃箱２００をそのまま乗物内に残して事務所に持参するのである。事務所では、管理者が当該運賃金庫１００を受け取り、これを精算装置に逆さ状態にしてセットして、精算装置側のスイッチを押す。 When the first door plate 20 and the second door plate 30 completely close the opening 13, the fare box 200 (not shown) is unlocked, and the fare safe 100 can be removed from the safe storage part 210 of the fare box 200. Thus, the driver pulls out the fare safe 100 with the handle 10a, leaves the fare box 200 in the vehicle and brings it to the office. At the office, the manager receives the fare safe 100, sets it upside down in the payment apparatus, and presses a switch on the payment apparatus side.

そうすると、当該運賃金庫１００内のモータ５０が回転駆動され始めて、ネジ軸１６が正転され始め、これにより、まず第１扉板２０が、図２の（ｂ）及び図８に示したように、第２扉板３０の下側（図８では上側）重なるまで移動される、つまり開放される（図１１の（ａ）の（２）の状態）。第１扉板２０が第２扉板３０と重なると、第１扉板２０の押圧フランジ２５が第２扉板３０の端面に当接することになるから、この第２扉板３０をそのまま天板１２下まで押して行く。最終段階では、図２の（ｃ）及び図９に示したように、第１扉板２０及び第２扉板３０は天板１２下に重ねて収納されるから（図１１の（ａ）の（３）の状態）、これを検知した図示しないリミットスイッチがモータ５０の駆動が停止される。 Then, the motor 50 in the fare safe 100 starts to rotate and the screw shaft 16 starts to rotate in the forward direction. As a result, the first door plate 20 is first moved as shown in FIGS. The second door plate 30 is moved until it overlaps the lower side (upper side in FIG. 8), that is, is released (state (2) in FIG. 11A). When the first door plate 20 overlaps the second door plate 30, the pressing flange 25 of the first door plate 20 comes into contact with the end surface of the second door plate 30. 12 Push down. In the final stage, as shown in FIG. 2 (c) and FIG. 9, the first door plate 20 and the second door plate 30 are stored under the top plate 12 (as shown in FIG. 11 (a)). (State of (3)), the limit switch (not shown) that detects this stops the driving of the motor 50.

以上のようにして第１扉板２０及び第２扉板３０が開放されている間に、当該運賃金庫１００は逆さにして精算装置にセットしてあったから、貨幣は精算装置内に落下することになる。このとき、紙幣については、運賃箱２００側で整えられて当該運賃金庫１００の紙幣収納部１５内に重ねて投入されているし、硬貨は、図７に示したように、第１区画壁１７及び第２区画壁１８によって形成された硬貨収納部１４内に入っているから、いずれの場合も、第１扉板２０及び第２扉板３０の開放時において噛み込むことなく取り出される。 While the first door plate 20 and the second door plate 30 are opened as described above, the fare safe 100 is inverted and set in the settlement apparatus, so that money falls into the settlement apparatus. become. At this time, the banknotes are arranged on the side of the fare box 200 and are put in the banknote storage unit 15 of the fare safe 100, and the coins, as shown in FIG. And, in any case, it is taken out without being bitten when the first door plate 20 and the second door plate 30 are opened.

次に、モータ５０を逆転させると、第２扉板３０を残したまま第１扉板２０が天板１２下から引き出されて、第１扉板２０の係止突起２４が第２扉板３０の係止部（係止爪３２または第２噛み込み防止板４０がある場合には突起４２）に係合する（図１１の（ａ）の（４）の状態）。そうすると、第１扉板２０の引き出しに従って第２扉板３０も引き出されることになり、最終的には、運賃金庫１００の開口部１３はこれらの第１扉板２０および第２扉板３０によって完全に閉じられる（図１１の（ａ）の（５）または（１）の状態）。 Next, when the motor 50 is reversed, the first door plate 20 is pulled out from below the top plate 12 while leaving the second door plate 30, and the locking projection 24 of the first door plate 20 is moved to the second door plate 30. 11 (the projection 42 when there is the locking claw 32 or the second biting prevention plate 40) (the state (4) in FIG. 11A). Then, the second door plate 30 is also pulled out in accordance with the pulling out of the first door plate 20, and finally, the opening 13 of the fare safe 100 is completely opened by the first door plate 20 and the second door plate 30. (The state (5) or (1) in FIG. 11A).

このようにして、貨幣が取り出されて第１扉板２０及び第２扉板３０が閉じられた運賃金庫１００は、次の営業日に再び運賃箱２００の金庫収納部２１０内にセットされるが、このセット完了時には、モータ５０が駆動されて各第１扉板２０及び第２扉板３０が開放状態となる。 In this way, the fare safe 100 in which money is taken out and the first door plate 20 and the second door plate 30 are closed is set again in the safe storage unit 210 of the fare box 200 on the next business day. When the setting is completed, the motor 50 is driven and the first door plate 20 and the second door plate 30 are opened.

なお、何らかの原因で、閉じられた状態にある第１扉板２０と第２扉板３０との間に異物が入り込むことがあるが、第１扉板２０及び第２扉板３０による開口部１３の閉止時に、第２扉板３０側の各係止爪３２が、第１扉板２０側の各挿入部２７内に入り込むから、その際に除去されることになり、この異物が第１扉板２０及び第２扉板３０間に噛み込むことがなくなる。 Note that, for some reason, foreign matter may enter between the first door plate 20 and the second door plate 30 in the closed state, but the opening 13 formed by the first door plate 20 and the second door plate 30. At the time of closing, the respective locking claws 32 on the second door plate 30 side enter into the respective insertion portions 27 on the first door plate 20 side. Therefore, the foreign matter is removed at that time. There is no bite between the plate 20 and the second door plate 30.
