  As a result, the shutter opening / closing unit 200 moves the coin doorway shutter 202 from the doorway shutter closed position below the coin doorway 201AX to the rear doorway shutter open position via the left shutter guide and the right shutter guide. It is supported so that it can move in the front-rear direction of the teller machine.

  The coin entrance shutter 202 has, for example, a belt locking portion (not shown) protruding from the left side 202A, and the belt locking portion is locked at a predetermined position of the linear portion of the left belt. ing.

  Further, the coin entrance / exit shutter 202 has, for example, a belt locking portion (not shown) protruding from the right side 202B, and the belt locking portion is locked at a predetermined position of the linear portion of the right belt. Has been.

  In the shutter opening / closing unit 200, for example, a belt drive motor (not shown) is disposed at a predetermined position of the frame bottom plate, and the output shaft of the belt drive motor is connected to the pulley drive shaft via a plurality of gears.

  Thereby, the shutter opening / closing unit 200 can drive the left belt and the right belt via, for example, a belt drive motor, and rotate the left belt and the right belt in the forward direction and the backward direction. .

  For example, when both the left belt and the right belt are rotated in the forward direction via the belt drive motor, the shutter opening / closing unit 200 moves the coin door shutter 202 to the front door shutter closed position according to the rotation. Move.

  Thereby, the shutter opening / closing unit 200 can close the coin entrance / exit shutter 202 so as to face the coin entrance / exit 201AX (that is, close the coin entrance / exit 201AX).

  Further, for example, when both the left belt and the right belt are rotated in the backward direction via the belt drive motor, the shutter opening / closing unit 200 moves the coin entrance shutter 202 to the rear entrance shutter opening position according to the rotation. To move.

  Thereby, the shutter opening / closing unit 200 can open the coin entrance / exit shutter 202 by shifting it from the bottom to the rear side of the coin entrance / exit 201AX (that is, opening the coin entrance / exit 201AX).

  In addition to this, the coin entrance / exit shutter 202 has, for example, a slit (hereinafter also referred to as a coin insertion slit) 202CX for inserting coins one by one at the center of the surface 202C.

  The shutter opening / closing unit 200 has a shutter 210 (hereinafter also referred to as a slit shutter) 210 for the coin insertion slit 202CX.

  In the slit shutter 210, for example, a shaft insertion hole is formed in the center of one surface of a substantially W-shaped shutter main body 210A, and a predetermined length of engagement is provided near the rear end of the other surface of the shutter main body 210A. A mating projection 210B is suspended.

  In addition, the shutter 202 for the coin entrance / exit has a shutter support shaft 211 provided vertically at a predetermined position behind the coin insertion slit 202CX on the back surface 202D.

  The slit shutter 210 has the front end portion of the shutter main body 210 </ b> A opposed to the center portion of the back surface 202 </ b> D of the coin entrance / exit shutter 202, and the rear end portion protrudes to the rear side of the rear left end portion of the coin entrance / exit shutter 202. The shutter support shaft 211 parallel to the vertical direction of the depositing machine is inserted into the shaft insertion hole from one surface side.

  As a result, the coin entrance / exit shutter 202 moves the slit shutter 210 through the shutter support shaft 211 in a posture in which the front end portion of one surface of the slit shutter 210 is close to and parallel to the center portion of the back surface 202D, and the arrow e2 in the drawing. In the counterclockwise direction (i.e., the clockwise direction centered on the axis parallel to the vertical direction of the deposit machine) and the counterclockwise direction opposite thereto (i.e., the counterclockwise direction about the axis parallel to the vertical direction of the deposit machine). It is supported so that it can be rotated clockwise.

  Further, the coin entrance / exit shutter 202 has, for example, a columnar spring locking portion 212 suspended from the left rear corner of the back surface 202D.

  In the shutter opening / closing part 200, one end of the coil spring 213 is engaged with the spring engaging part 212 of the coin entrance / exit shutter 202, and the other end of the coil spring 213 is engaged with the engaging protrusion 210B of the slit shutter 210. Is locked at a predetermined position.

  As a result, the shutter opening / closing unit 200 urges the slit shutter 210 by the coil spring 213 so as to rotate clockwise about the shutter support shaft 211.

  However, the coin entrance / exit shutter 202 is, for example, further when the tip of the slit shutter 210 is displaced to the slit shutter closed position even when the slit shutter 210 rotates clockwise at a predetermined position on the back surface 202D. Is provided with a rotation restricting portion (not shown) for restricting it from rotating in the clockwise direction.

  Therefore, even if the slit shutter 210 rotates in the clockwise direction due to the bias of the coil spring 213, the shutter opening / closing unit 200 moves the predetermined part of the slit shutter 210 to the rotation limiting unit when the leading end reaches the slit shutter closed position. Stop rotating in the clockwise direction.

  Thereby, the shutter opening / closing part 200 can close the slit shutter 210 (that is, close the coin insertion slit 202CX) with the tip of the slit shutter 210 opposed to the coin insertion slit 202CX of the coin entrance / exit shutter 202. .

  The shutter opening / closing unit 200 includes an actuator 215 and a substantially L-shaped opening / closing arm 216.

  The actuator 215 is provided on the main body 215A so that the output shaft 215B can extend and contract so as to change the amount of protrusion from the main body 215A.

  The actuator 215 is arranged at the left end portion of the frame bottom plate in a posture in which the tip of the output shaft 215B faces the front side.

  The open / close arm 216 is provided with an arm support shaft near the center of the root portion 216A, and an arm rotation shaft is provided near one end in parallel with the arm support shaft.

  The actuator 215 supports the arm support shaft of the opening / closing arm 216 by the tip of the output shaft 215B so that the arm support shaft can be rotated in the forward direction and the backward direction in parallel with the left-right direction of the depositing machine.

  As a result, the opening / closing arm 216 has the columnar tip 216B parallel to the left-right direction of the depositing machine and positioned in front of the engaging projection 210B of the slit shutter 210 above the output shaft 215B of the actuator 215.

  The opening / closing arm 216 has a portion near one end of the root portion 216 </ b> A positioned below the output shaft 215 </ b> B of the actuator 215.

  Further, the frame bottom plate is provided with an arm support (not shown) at a predetermined position below the output shaft 215B of the actuator 215 at the rear end.

  The frame bottom plate supports the arm rotation shaft of the opening / closing arm 216 by the arm support portion so as to be rotatable in the forward direction and the backward direction in parallel with the left-right direction of the depositing machine.

  Therefore, when the output shaft 215B of the actuator 215 is extended, the shutter opening / closing unit 200 can tilt the opening / closing arm 216 in the forward direction about the arm rotation shaft and tilt it forward.

  In addition, when the output shaft 215B of the actuator 215 is contracted, the shutter opening / closing unit 200 can tilt the opening / closing arm 216 in the rearward direction around the arm rotation axis in response to the contraction. .

  In the state where the shutter opening / closing unit 200 is closed with the coin entrance / exit shutter 202 closed, when the output shaft 215B of the actuator 215 is extended and the opening / closing arm 216 is tilted forward, the front end 216B of the opening / closing arm 216 is formed. Is displaced to a predetermined retracted position in front of the engaging protrusion 210B of the slit shutter 210.

  As a result, the shutter opening / closing unit 200 closes the slit shutter 210 by rotating the slit shutter 210 clockwise by the bias of the coil spring 213 so as to oppose the tip of the slit shutter 210 to the coin insertion slit 202CX (that is, coin insertion). The slit 202CX can be closed).

  When the shutter opening / closing unit 200 closes the slit shutter 210 with the coin entrance / exit shutter 202 closed as described above, the shutter opening / closing unit 200 brings the tip 216B of the opening / closing arm 216 close to the engaging projection 210B of the slit shutter 210. ing.

  Therefore, when the shutter opening / closing portion 200 is closed with the coin entrance / exit shutter 202 and the slit shutter 210 closed, when the output shaft 215B of the actuator 215 is contracted and the opening / closing arm 216 is tilted rearward, the tip of the opening / closing arm 216 is moved. The slit shutter 210 is rotated counterclockwise by pushing the engagement protrusion 210B of the slit shutter 210 rearward by the portion 216B.

  As a result, the shutter opening / closing unit 200 displaces the front end of the slit shutter 210 from the bottom of the coin insertion slit 202CX to the left side to a predetermined slit shutter opening position, and opens the slit shutter 210 (that is, a coin) The input slit 202CX can be opened).

  In this way, the shutter opening / closing unit 200 rotates the opening / closing arm 216 about the arm rotation axis via the actuator 215 in a state where the coin entrance / exit shutter 202 is closed, thereby causing the slit shutter 210 to move. Can be opened and closed.

  The automatic teller machine 201 provided with the shutter opening / closing unit 200 having such a configuration, for example, keeps the slit shutter 210 closed when depositing coins in the daytime, and only the coin entrance / exit shutter 202 for depositing coins. Open and close.

  Thereby, the automatic teller machine 201 causes the customer to input one or more coins for deposit into the coin entrance / exit 201AX when depositing coins during the daytime.

  On the other hand, for example, when depositing coins at night, the automatic teller machine 201 opens and closes only the slit shutter 210 for depositing coins while keeping the coin inlet / outlet shutter 202 closed.

  As a result, the automatic teller machine 201 causes the customer to insert coins for deposit one by one into the coin insertion slit 202CX when depositing coins at night.

  Then, the automatic teller machine 201 opens the slit shutter 210 in this way, and in the case where the customer puts coins for deposit into the coin insertion slit 202CX one by one, whether or not the coin to be inserted is a coin. Can inevitably be confirmed.

  Therefore, the automatic teller machine 201 can prevent the foreign matter from being inserted as much as possible when it is difficult to quickly cope with the malfunction or stoppage caused by the foreign matter.

  By the way, in recent years, this type of automatic teller machine is provided with a convex portion corresponding to the coin inlet / outlet on the surface of the coin inlet / outlet shutter from the viewpoint of design, prevention of dust intrusion, etc. There is also a type that opens and closes the coin entrance / exit shutter so that the portion is fitted to and removed from the coin entrance.

  In fact, in such an automatic teller machine, the shutter for coin entrance is movable forward and backward at the shutter opening / closing part, and can be displaced vertically below the coin entrance.

  And in the state which fitted the convex part of the coin entrance shutter to the coin entrance, and the automatic teller machine concerned displaces the said coin entrance shutter to the lower side, and after pulling out the convex part from the coin entrance Move to the rear side and open.

  Further, in the state where the coin entrance / exit shutter is opened, the automatic teller machine moves the coin entrance / exit shutter to the front side, then displaces the coin entrance / exit to the upper side, and closes the coin entrance by fitting a convex portion. .

  In recent years, it has been proposed that the automatic teller machine also prevents the introduction of foreign matter as much as possible by providing a slit shutter in the shutter opening / closing portion so as to be opened and closed.

  However, in such an automatic teller machine, if it is intended to prevent the entry of foreign matter as much as possible based on the configuration of the shutter opening / closing unit 200 described above, the coin opening / closing shutter 202 is moved up and down on the shutter opening / closing unit 200. It is necessary to add an up / down displacement mechanism for displacing.

  In such an automatic teller machine, even when the coin entrance / exit shutter 202 is displaced upward and closed, the engagement protrusion 210B of the slit shutter 210 and the tip 216B of the opening / closing arm 216 are engaged with each other. For example, the engagement protrusion 210B needs to be longer than the above.

  Further, since the automatic teller machine is moved after being displaced downward when opening the coin entrance / exit shutter 202, the engaging projection 210B of the slit shutter 210 is caught by the main body 215A of the actuator 215 during the movement. In order to avoid such a situation, it is necessary to extend the opening / closing arm 216 downward and lower the main body 215A of the actuator 215 from above.

  For this reason, in the automatic teller machine, the shutter opening / closing unit 200 is increased in size because the shutter opening / closing unit 200 is based on the above-described configuration of the shutter opening / closing unit 200 in order to prevent the introduction of foreign matter as much as possible. As a result, there was a problem that the automatic teller machine was enlarged.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and intends to propose a shutter opening / closing device capable of downsizing a coin handling device and the coin handling device.

  In order to solve such a problem, in the present invention, a slit for coin insertion penetrating to the back surface is formed at a predetermined position on the front surface, and an opening shutter for inserting coins formed on the panel plate of the coin handling device. Then, the shutter is at least partially displaced from the closed state with respect to the opening, and then moved to one end of the shutter to open with respect to the opening. After being moved from the open state to the other end side of the shutter, at least a part of the shutter is moved to the front side and closed with respect to the opening, and the shutter driving unit for the opening is provided to be displaceable on the rear surface of the shutter. A slit shutter and a slit shutter disposed at a position facing one end with the shutter closed, and only when at least a part of the shutter is displaced to the front side in order to close the shutter It was provided a slit shutter driving portion engaged.

  Therefore, in the present invention, the size of the shutter opening / closing device in the height direction can be significantly reduced as compared with the conventional one.

  According to the present invention, a slit for coin insertion penetrating to the back surface is formed at a predetermined position on the front surface, an opening shutter for inserting coins formed on the panel plate of the coin handling device, and a shutter, After displacing at least a part from the closed state with respect to the opening, to the one end side of the shutter, the shutter is opened with respect to the opening, and the shutter is opened from the state with respect to the opening. After moving to the other end side of the shutter, at least a part of the shutter is displaced to the front surface side and is closed with respect to the opening portion, a shutter driving unit for the opening, a slit shutter provided on the back surface of the shutter so as to be displaceable, and the shutter The slit shutter is disposed at a position facing one end in a closed state and engages with the slit shutter only when at least a part of the shutter is displaced to the front side in order to close the shutter. By providing the drive unit, the shutter opening / closing device can be greatly reduced in size in the height direction as compared with the prior art, and the coin handling device can be miniaturized, and the coin thereof. A handling device can be realized.

The right rear roller support shaft 83 is discharged from the vertical displacement guide groove 73C to the rear side through the displacement guide groove open end 73CX.

  However, when the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 is moved to the entrance / exit shutter open position, the entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 moves the left rear guide roller 86 from the front / rear movement guide groove 70AX of the left / right movement left guide 70 to the movement guide groove open end. Although discharged to the rear side via 70AY, the left front guide roller 84 and the left center guide roller 85 are retained in the front and rear movement guide groove 70AX.

  When the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 is moved to the entrance / exit shutter open position, the entrance / exit shutter drive section 42 moves the right rear guide roller 89 from the front / rear movement guide groove 71AX of the right / left movement guide 71 to the movement guide groove opening end 71AY. The right front guide roller 87 and the right center guide roller 88 are retained in the front and rear movement guide groove 71AX.

  Accordingly, the entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 moves the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 in a horizontal position from the lower side of the coin entrance / exit 3AX to the entrance / exit shutter open position, and moves the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 at the entrance / exit shutter open position. Keep it in a horizontal position.

  When the entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 closes the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 from the opened state, the left rack 43 and the right rack 44 are moved to the left rail 45 and the right rail 46 under the control of the control unit 20. Through the movable range rear end position to the movable range front end position in the depositor forward direction.

  As a result, the entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 keeps the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 in a horizontal position for a while after the sliding start of the left rack 43 and the right rack 44 in the forward direction of the deposit machine. Move to the front of the teller machine on the front end side.

  At this time, the entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 moves the left front guide roller 84 and the left center guide roller 85 within the forward / rearward movement guide groove 70AX of the forward / backward movement left guide 70 as the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 moves. And the left rear guide roller 86 is moved closer to the moving guide groove open end 70AY.

  Further, the entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 moves the right front guide roller 87 and the right center guide roller 88 toward the moving guide groove tip 71AZ side in the front / rear movement guide groove 71AX of the front / rear movement right guide 71 as the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 moves. At the same time, the right rear guide roller 89 is moved closer to the moving guide groove opening end 71AY.

  Further, the entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 moves the left connecting plate 92 in the forward horizontal direction with the above-described horizontal posture, and brings the left rear roller support shaft 80 closer to the displacement guide groove opening end 72 </ b> CX of the vertical displacement left guide 72. .

  Furthermore, the entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 moves the right connecting plate 94 in the forward direction of the depositing machine while keeping the horizontal posture described above, and moves the right rear roller support shaft 83 to the displacement guide groove opening end 73 </ b> CX of the vertical displacement right guide 73. Move closer.

  When the shutter convex portion 5AY of the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 approaches the coin entrance / exit 3AX to some extent, the entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 moves the left rear guide roller 86 back and forth from the moving guide groove opening end 70AY of the left guide 70. It is inserted into the movement guide groove 70AX, and is moved to the movement guide groove tip 70AZ side together with the left front guide roller 84 and the left center guide roller 85.

  The entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 inserts the right rear guide roller 89 into the front / rear movement guide groove 71AX from the movement guide groove open end 71AY of the front / rear movement right guide 71 and moves together with the right front guide roller 87 and the right center guide roller 88. Move to the guide groove tip 71AZ side.

  Further, the entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 inserts the left rear roller support shaft 80 from the displacement guide groove open end 72 </ b> CX of the vertical displacement left guide 72 into the vertical displacement guide groove 72 </ b> C while keeping the left connecting plate 92 in a horizontal posture.

  Furthermore, the entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 inserts the right rear roller support shaft 83 from the displacement guide groove open end 73 </ b> CX of the vertical displacement right guide 73 into the vertical displacement guide groove 73 </ b> C while keeping the right connecting plate 94 horizontal.

  Then, when the left rear roller support shaft 80 reaches the bent portion of the vertical displacement guide groove 72C in the vertical displacement left guide 72, the entrance shutter driving unit 42 then rotates the left connecting plate 92 in the backward direction, The left rear roller support shaft 80 is moved upward in the vertical displacement guide groove 72C.

  Further, when the right rear roller support shaft 83 reaches the bent portion of the vertical displacement guide groove 73C in the vertical displacement right guide 73, the entrance shutter driving unit 42 then rotates the right connecting plate 94 in the backward direction, The right rear roller support shaft 83 is moved upward in the vertical displacement guide groove 73C.

  Therefore, the entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 at this time moves the front end of the front / rear movement guide groove 70AX in the front / rear movement left guide 70 in accordance with the upward movement of the left rear roller support shaft 80 and the right rear roller support shaft 83. The left center guide roller 85 and the left rear guide roller 86 are moved from the front / rear movement guide groove 70AX into the front branch groove 70CX and the rear branch groove 70BX while keeping the left front guide roller 84 close to 70AZ.

  Further, the entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 moves the right center guide roller 88 from the front / rear movement guide groove 71AX while keeping the right front guide roller 87 in proximity to the movement guide groove tip 71AZ of the front / rear movement guide groove 71AX in the front / rear movement right guide 71. The right rear guide roller 89 is moved into the front branch groove 71CX and the rear branch groove 71BX.

  In this way, the entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 rotates the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 in the forward direction about the left front roller support shaft and the right front roller support shaft 81 at the front end, so that the coin entrance shutter 5 The rear end is displaced upward (that is, lifted up toward the shutter surface 5A).

  Then, when the left rack 43 and the right rack 44 reach the front end position of the movable range and stop sliding, the door shutter driving unit 42 sets the left connecting plate 92 in an inclined posture parallel to the rear obliquely upward direction. In the vertical displacement left guide 72, the left rear roller support shaft 80 is brought close to the displacement guide groove upper end 72CY of the vertical displacement guide groove 72C.

  Further, at this time, the entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 sets the right connecting plate 94 in an inclined posture parallel to the rear obliquely upward direction, and the right rear roller on the displacement guide groove upper end 73CY of the vertical displacement guide groove 73C in the vertical displacement right guide 73. The support shaft 83 is brought close.

  In this manner, the entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 causes the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 to reach the entrance / exit shutter closed position between the left rack 43 and the right rack 44 in an inclined posture parallel to the upper panel surface 3A. The upper displacement is stopped.

  As a result, the entrance / exit shutter drive unit 42 is fitted into the coin entrance / exit 3AX so that the shutter convex portion 5AY of the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 is inserted from below, and is inserted into the coin entrance / exit 3AX. The shutter 5 can be closed (that is, the coin slot 3AX is closed).

  In this way, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, the coin shutter opening / closing unit 21 uses the coin entrance shutter 5 as the entrance shutter until the coin transaction using the coin entrance 3AX is performed. In the inclined position at the closed position, the shutter convex portion 5AY is fitted to the coin entrance 3AX and closed.

  Then, the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 is configured to displace the rear end of the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 downward (that is, on the back side of the shutter) when a coin is traded using the coin entrance 3AX. After the shutter 5 is in a horizontal posture, it is retracted and opened to the shutter opening position for the doorway in the rear direction of the depositing machine.

  Therefore, the coin shutter opening / closing unit 21 allows the customer to insert coins for depositing into the coin inlet / outlet 3AX, and to take out coins for withdrawal from the coin inlet / outlet 3AX.

  The coin shutter opening / closing section 21 moves the coin entrance shutter 5 in the horizontal position from the entrance shutter open position to the front of the depositing machine when the insertion of the deposit coin and the withdrawal of the withdrawal coin are completed. After that, the rear end portion is displaced upward (that is, the shutter surface 5A side) so that the shutter convex portion 5AY is fitted to the coin inlet / outlet 3AX and closed.

  In the case of this embodiment, the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 does not incline the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 at all when the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 is moved to the entrance / exit shutter open position as described above. Keep it in a horizontal position.

  Therefore, the coin shutter opening / closing unit 21 is held at the door opening / closing shutter open position on the rear side of the shutter frame 40 while keeping the coin doorway shutter 5 in a horizontal posture, and the left rack 43 and the right side of the coin doorway shutter 5 The coin entrance / exit shutter 5 can be opened only by securing a space in which the rack 44 can be adjoined in a horizontal posture.

  Further, when the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 is closed, the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 is not disposed at the rear side of the shutter frame 40 by integrating the whole as described above.

  For this reason, the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 is compared with a conventional shutter opening / closing part in which a belt and a pulley for moving the shutter over a moving range of the shutter, a frame for supporting these, and the like are arranged. The arrangement space of the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 including the space when the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 in the deposit machine housing 2 is opened can be greatly reduced.

  Therefore, the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 can prevent the automatic teller machine 1 from being enlarged due to the arrangement space.

  In addition to such a configuration, the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 (FIGS. 3 and 4) is provided, for example, in a central portion of the shutter surface 5A of the coin entrance / exit shutter 5, for example, a substantially rectangular coin insertion slit 5AX (that is, a shutter). A through hole from the front surface 5A to the rear surface of the shutter is formed. In the following description, the longitudinal direction of the coin insertion slit 5AX is also referred to as the slit longitudinal direction.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the coin shutter opening / closing unit 21 includes, for example, a substantially W-shaped plate-shaped slit shutter 100 and also includes a slit shutter driving unit 101 for opening and closing the slit shutter 100. Yes.

  The slit shutter 100 is formed, for example, in a substantially strip shape in which the front end portion 100A is longer than the length of the coin insertion slit 5AX, and the rear end portion 100B is formed in a substantially strip shape shorter than the length of the front end portion 100A. The front end portion 100A and the rear end portion 100B are provided at an opening angle of about 90 degrees on both sides of the substantially square-shaped central portion 100C.

  A shaft insertion hole is formed in one surface of the slit shutter 100 at a predetermined position of the central portion 100C.

  Further, on one surface of the slit shutter 100, a predetermined length slightly shorter than the thickness of the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 (that is, the length from the rear surface of the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 to the shutter surface 5A) is provided near the other end. A columnar engagement protrusion 103 is suspended.

  Further, on the other surface of the slit shutter 100, a rod-shaped spring locking portion 104 is vertically provided at a predetermined position near the boundary with the central portion 100C in the rear end portion 100B (that is, on the rear end side with respect to the shaft insertion hole). Has been.

  In addition, the shutter 5 for the coin entrance / exit has a shutter support shaft 105 provided vertically at a predetermined position on the back side of the shutter on the left side of the coin insertion slit 5AX.

  Further, the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 is provided with a column-shaped spring engaging portion 106 suspended from the shutter support shaft 105 diagonally to the left on the rear surface of the shutter.

  The slit shutter 100 has one surface parallel to the shutter back surface of the coin entrance / exit shutter 5, the front end portion 100 </ b> A facing the center portion of the shutter back surface, and the rear end portion 100 </ b> B behind the rear left end of the coin entrance / exit shutter 5. The shutter support shaft 105 is inserted into the shaft insertion hole from one surface side.

  Thus, the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 moves the slit shutter 100 via the shutter support shaft 105 in the posture in which the front end portion 100A of the slit shutter 100 is close to and parallel to the central portion of the rear surface of the shutter. It is supported so that it can rotate in the counterclockwise direction indicated by, and in the clockwise direction opposite to this.

  Incidentally, the counterclockwise direction indicated by the arrow e1 in the figure is a clockwise direction around an axis parallel or slightly inclined with respect to the depositing machine vertical direction, and the clockwise direction is parallel to or slightly slightly with the depositing machine vertical direction. The counterclockwise direction is centered on the tilted axis.

  The coin shutter opening / closing part 21 has one end of the coil spring 107 engaged with the spring engaging part 104 of the slit shutter 100 and the other end of the coil spring 107 is engaged with the spring of the coin entrance / exit shutter 5. Locked to the portion 106.

  As a result, the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 urges the slit shutter 100 by the coil spring 107 to rotate clockwise about the shutter support shaft 105.

  However, even if the slit shutter 100 rotates in the clockwise direction at a predetermined position on the rear surface of the shutter, the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 has a slit shutter closed position where the tip end portion 100A of the slit shutter 100 faces the coin insertion slit 5AX. When it is displaced up to, a rotation restricting portion (not shown) is provided so as to restrict further rotation in the clockwise direction.

  For this reason, even if the slit shutter 100 is rotated clockwise by the bias of the coil spring 107, the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 is rotated to a predetermined rotation angle and the tip end portion 100A is displaced to the slit shutter closed position. Then, a predetermined portion of the slit shutter 100 is abutted against the rotation restricting portion to stop the clockwise rotation.

  As a result, the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 causes the slit shutter 100 to face the coin insertion slit 5AX with its front end part 100A parallel to the slit longitudinal direction, and the rear end part 100B to the rear left end of the coin entrance / exit shutter 5. Make the posture parallel to the left-right direction of the teller on the rear side.

  Thus, the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 can close the slit shutter 100 (that is, close the coin insertion slit 5AX).

  Incidentally, in the following description, when the slit shutter 100 is closed, the front end portion 100A is parallel to the slit longitudinal direction so as to be opposed to the coin insertion slit 5AX, and the rear end portion 100B is the rear left end of the coin entrance / exit shutter 5. The posture of the slit shutter 100 that is parallel to the left-right direction of the depositing machine on the rear side is also referred to as a shutter closing posture.

  On the other hand, the slit shutter drive unit 101 includes an actuator 110 and an opening / closing arm 111 having a substantially L-shaped plate shape.

  In the actuator 110, an output shaft 110B is provided at one end of the main body 110A so as to be extendable and contractable so as to change the amount of protrusion from the main body 110A.

  Then, the actuator 110 is positioned on the one surface of the upper plate portion 40CZ of the frame connecting plate 40C so as to face the rear left end portion in a state where the coin entrance shutter 5 is closed (that is, after the left rear end portion). The longitudinal direction is parallel to the left-right direction of the depositing machine (that is, the width direction of the coin entrance / exit shutter 5), and the tip of the output shaft 110B is disposed to the left of the depositing machine.

  The opening / closing arm 111 has, for example, a shaft insertion hole portion formed near one end of the root portion 111A on one surface, and a shaft support hole portion formed substantially at the center of the root portion 111A.

  The opening / closing arm 111 is attached to the shaft support hole so that the arm support shaft 112 protrudes one end and the other end of the arm support shaft 112 vertically from one surface and the other surface.

  Further, the upper plate portion 40CZ of the frame connecting plate 40C has, for example, the arm rotation shaft 113 suspended at a position on the rear side of the distal end portion of the output shaft 110B when the output shaft 110B of the actuator 110 is most extended. It is installed.

  The opening / closing arm 111 is configured so that the other surface is parallel to one surface of the upper plate portion 40CZ of the frame connecting plate 40C and the distal end portion 111B faces the right side of the root portion 111A. The rotating shaft 113 is inserted.

  Thus, the opening / closing arm 111 is supported by the upper plate portion 40CZ of the frame connecting plate 40C so as to be rotatable in the counterclockwise direction and the clockwise direction via the arm rotation shaft 113.

  In addition, the actuator 110 supports an arm support shaft 112 attached to the opening / closing arm 111 at the front end portion of the output shaft 110B so that the arm support shaft 112 can rotate in the counterclockwise direction and the clockwise direction in parallel with the vertical direction of the depositor. .

  As a result, the actuator 110 can rotate the opening / closing arm 111 in the counterclockwise and clockwise directions around the arm rotation shaft 113 in accordance with the expansion and contraction of the output shaft 110B.

  When the output shaft 110B is extended, the actuator 110 closes the slit shutter 100 by the biasing force of the coil spring 107, the opening / closing arm 111, the root portion 111A thereof in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the depositing machine, and the tip The portion 111B is set to a standby posture parallel to the depositing machine left-right direction.

  Therefore, the actuator 110 extends the output shaft 110B and puts the open / close arm 111 into a standby posture until a coin transaction using the coin insertion slit 5AX is performed.

  For this reason, the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 is urged by the coil spring 107 to urge the tip of the slit shutter 100 until the coin transaction using the coin insertion slit 5AX is performed, regardless of whether the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 is opened or closed. The slit shutter 100 is closed while the portion 100A is displaced to the slit shutter closed position (that is, the slit shutter 100 is in the shutter closed position).

  Further, when the output shaft 110B is contracted, the actuator 110 opens the slit shutter 100 by the opening / closing arm 111, and the opening / closing arm 111 has the root portion 111A parallel to the diagonally forward right direction and the distal end portion 111B. Is set to a shutter driving posture parallel to the diagonally rightward rear direction.

  Therefore, the actuator 110 contracts the output shaft 110B to bring the opening / closing arm 111 into the shutter drive posture when the transaction of the coin using the coin insertion slit 5AX is performed in the state where the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 is closed.

  By the way, the opening / closing arm 111 has a tip 111B extending from the front end of the upper plate portion 40CZ of the frame connecting plate 40C to one end of the root portion 111A regardless of the length of the base portion 111A extending or contracting the output shaft 110B of the actuator 110. It is selected as appropriate so as to protrude in the front direction of the deposit machine together with the part.

  Further, when the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 is closed, the shutter frame 40 forms a gap of a predetermined distance between the rear end of the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 and the front end of the upper plate portion 40CZ of the frame connecting plate 40C ( That is, the frame connecting plate 40C is provided so as to be separated.

  Further, the shutter frame 40 has the height of the frame connecting plate 40C (that is, the distance from the lower end of the left plate portion 40CX and the right plate portion 40CY to one surface of the upper plate portion 40CZ), and the shutter 5 for the coin entrance / exit. Although it passes under the upper plate portion 40CZ of the frame connecting plate 40C when moving in the longitudinal direction of the machine, it is appropriately selected as low as possible.

  Furthermore, the actuator 110 outputs to the one end of the main body 110A so that the height position of the opening / closing arm 111 is substantially equal to the height position of the rear end of the step surface 5AZ when the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 is closed. The mounting position of the shaft 110B is appropriately selected.

  As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the coin shutter opening / closing unit 21 is configured to move together with the slit shutter 100 when the coin entrance shutter 5 is closed by displacing the rear end of the coin entrance shutter 5 upward. The engaging protrusion 103 is displaced upward.

  As a result, the coin shutter opening / closing portion 21 inserts the upper end portion of the engaging projection portion 103 between the output shaft 110B of the actuator 110 and the distal end portion 111B of the opening / closing arm 111 in the standby posture, and The upper end portion of the engaging protrusion 103 can be brought close to a predetermined position on the rear surface.

  Thus, the coin shutter opening / closing unit 21 engages the slit shutter driving unit 101 with the slit shutter 100 when the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 is closed with its rear end portion displaced upward.

  That is, the coin shutter opening / closing unit 21 closes the opening / closing arm 111 of the slit shutter driving unit 101 via the engaging protrusion 103 when the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 is closed with its rear end displaced upward. The slit shutter 100 is engaged.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, when the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 is opened from the closed state, the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 displaces the rear end part of the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 downward, thereby moving the slit shutter. 100 and the engaging protrusion 103 are displaced downward.

  Thus, when the coin entrance shutter 5 is opened, the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 can pull the engaging protrusion 103 downward from the distal end part 111B of the opening / closing arm 111 in the standby position.

  In this way, the coin shutter opening / closing unit 21 releases the engagement between the slit shutter driving unit 101 and the slit shutter 100 when the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 is opened.

  When the rear end of the coin shutter opening / closing portion 21 is displaced downward in order to open the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 from the closed state, the coin projection / opening / closing portion 21 moves the engaging protrusion 103 to the upper plate portion of the frame connecting plate 40C. It is positioned below the height position of 40CZ.

  Accordingly, at this time, the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 moves the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 in the front-rear direction of the teller machine for opening and closing without hooking the engaging protrusion 103 on the upper plate part 40CZ of the frame connecting plate 40C. Can do.

  In this way, the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 engages the slit shutter driving part 101 with the slit shutter 100 while the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 is closed, and the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 is displaced for opening / closing. During the movement, the engagement between the slit shutter drive unit 101 and the slit shutter 100 is released.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the slit shutter drive unit 101 controls the control unit 20 when a coin transaction using the coin insertion slit 5AX is performed in a state where the coin entrance / exit shutter 5 is closed. Then, the actuator 110 is operated to contract the output shaft 110B.

  Accordingly, the slit shutter drive unit 101 rotates the opening / closing arm 111 clockwise about the arm rotation shaft 113 to change the posture of the opening / closing arm 111 from the standby posture to the shutter driving posture.

  Therefore, the slit shutter drive unit 101 pushes the engagement protrusion 103 at the tip 111B of the opening / closing arm 111 and displaces it diagonally to the right, and rotates the slit shutter 100 in the counterclockwise direction accordingly, The front end portion 100A of the slit shutter 100 is displaced to the slit shutter open position shifted from the bottom to the left side of the coin insertion slit 5AX.

  That is, the slit shutter drive unit 101 has the slit shutter 100 with its front end portion 100A parallel to the left diagonal front direction on the left side of the coin insertion slit 5AX, and the rear end portion 100B at the rear left end of the coin inlet / outlet shutter 5. Make the posture parallel to the diagonally backward left direction on the rear side.

  Accordingly, the slit shutter drive unit 101 can open the slit shutter 100 (that is, open the coin insertion slit 5AX).

  Incidentally, in the following description, when the slit shutter 100 is opened, the front end portion 100A is parallel to the left diagonal front direction on the left side of the coin insertion slit 5AX, and the rear end portion 100B is located at the rear left end of the coin entrance shutter 5. The posture of the slit shutter 100 that is parallel to the rearward diagonal left direction is also referred to as a shutter open posture.

  Therefore, the coin shutter opening / closing part 21 can allow the customer to insert coins for depositing one by one into the coin insertion slit 5AX.

  When the insertion of the coin for depositing is completed, the slit shutter driving unit 101 operates the actuator 110 to extend the output shaft 110B under the control of the control unit 20.

  Accordingly, the slit shutter drive unit 101 rotates the opening / closing arm 111 counterclockwise about the arm rotation shaft 113 to change the posture of the opening / closing arm 111 from the shutter driving posture to the standby posture again. .

  Therefore, the slit shutter drive unit 101 displaces the front end portion 111B of the opening / closing arm 111 to the left oblique front side so as to be separated from the engagement projection portion 103, and accordingly, the slit shutter 100 is biased by the coil spring 107. By rotating in the clockwise direction, the tip end portion 100A of the slit shutter 100 is displaced to the slit shutter closed position.

  As a result, the slit shutter drive unit 101 can close the slit shutter 100 again with the shutter shutter 100 closed (that is, close the coin insertion slit 5AX).

  In this way, the coin shutter opening / closing unit 21 can open / close the slit shutter 100 via the slit shutter driving unit 101 each time a coin is traded using the coin insertion slit 5AX.

  Therefore, the coin shutter opening / closing unit 21 replaces the coin entrance / exit 3AX with the coin entrance / exit 3AX when it is difficult to quickly cope with a malfunction or stoppage due to the insertion of a foreign object into the coin entrance 3AX. By inserting coins for deposit into the slot 5AX, it is possible to prevent the foreign matter from being thrown in as much as possible.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 17, when a coin transaction using the coin insertion slit 5AX is performed, the coin shutter opening / closing unit 21 is notified to the customer to insert a coin for depositing into the coin insertion slit 5AX. For this purpose, a coin insertion position notifying unit 120 is provided.
