The link drive fulcrum 23 is a pin-like component that is fixed to the passbook stacker door 13 in parallel with the back surface of the passbook stacker door 13. The link drive fulcrum 23 rotates integrally with the passbook stacker door 13 by an opening and closing motion centering on the door rotation support shaft 22 of the passbook stacker door 13. The link drive fulcrum 23 is for transmitting this rotational movement to the sliding movement of the link 9.

The link portion 9 as the link means slides toward the opening 15 a in response to the rotational movement of the link drive fulcrum 23. That is, the link unit 9 slides toward the opening 15 a in conjunction with the opening operation of the passbook stacker door 13. The link unit 9 is a plate-like member, and is disposed in the back direction (X-axis direction) from the front of the stacker in the passbook stacker 12. The link unit 9 includes a link passive unit 9-1 receiving a driving force from the link driving fulcrum 23, a link slide unit 9-2 transmitting the driving force of the link passive unit 9-1 in the back direction (X-axis direction), and a link slide unit The passbook 10 in the front direction (X-axis direction) is pressed by receiving the drive force from the link folding back portion 9-3 and the link folding-back portion 9-3 transmitting the driving force 9-2 in the lateral direction (Y-axis direction). It consists of a passbook push part 9-4.
The link passive portion 9-1 is located near the tip of the link portion 9, that is, the back surface of the passbook stacker door 13. The link passive portion 9-1 is provided with a long hole 9a as a first long hole provided in the Y-axis direction, and the long hole 9a is engaged with the link driving fulcrum 23 fixed to the passbook stacker door 13 described above.

  The link slide part 9-2 is located at the middle of the link part 9. In the link slide portion 9-2, two long holes 9b and 9c as second long holes are provided in series in the direction of arrow C (X-axis direction), and the long holes 9b and 9c are housings of the passbook stack portion 15. The link slide fixed fulcrums 24a and 24b fixed to the lower end engage with each other. Thus, the link slide fixing fulcrums 24a and 24b and the long holes 9b and 9c function as guide means for guiding the movement of the link portion 9 in the arrow C direction.

The link return unit 9-3 is located between the link slide unit 9-2 and the passbook push unit 9-4. A passbook push unit 9-4 as a pressing unit is located at the rear end of the link unit 9. That is, the passbook push unit 9-4 is positioned to contact the passbook 10. The passbook push section 9-4 extends from the link return section 9-3 to reach the passbook 10 and presses the rear end 10-2 of the passbook 10 to push the tip 10-1 of the passbook 10 out of the opening 15a.
A vertical portion 9-5 is formed at the tip of the passbook push portion 9-4 as shown in FIG. 4B, and contacts the passbook 10 to press the passbook 10 accumulated on the stage 8. The width in the Y-axis direction of the vertical part 9-5 is the same as that of the passbook push part 9-4. The vertical portion 9-5 extends vertically, and its length is a length corresponding to the maximum number of books of the passbook 10 that can be accumulated on the stage 8. Then, as described above, the stage notch 81 is formed in the vertical direction at the center of the stacker back side as described above, and the passbook 10 is formed by the vertical portion 9-5 passing through the stage notch 81. Push it out of the opening 15a.

The length in the X axis direction of the stage notch 81 may be equal to the sum of the lengths in the X axis direction of the passbook push part 9-4 and the vertical part 9-5, and the width in the Y axis direction is the passbook push part Slightly wider than the width of 9-4 and the vertical portion 9-5.

In addition, in order to ensure the stability of the pressing operation of the passbook 10, it is better for the shapes of the passbook push portion 9-4 and the vertical portion 9-5 to have a large contact area with the rear end 10-2 of the passbook 10. It is necessary to avoid contact with a passbook feeding mechanism and a passbook conveyance mechanism (not shown) disposed on the back side of the stacker.
Although the link slide fixing fulcrums 24 a and 24 b are described as being fixed to the housing of the passbook stack unit 15, they may be fixed to the housing of the passbook stacker 12. Furthermore, a plurality of link portions 9 may be provided in the Z-axis direction.

With the above configuration, the passbook stacker 12 of the automated teller machine 1 according to the first embodiment operates as follows. FIG. 5 is a top view showing the operation of the passbook stacker according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the operation of the passbook stacker according to the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the operation of the passbook stacker 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.
First, when the customer selects a deposit / withdrawal transaction with a passbook by the customer operation unit 2 shown in FIG. 2, a passbook transaction operation is started. Then, the customer operation unit 2 displays an operation guiding screen to insert the passbook 10 from the passbook insertion / return port 6 of the passbook processing unit 7.

Then, when the customer inserts the passbook 10, the passbook processing unit 7 reads the data of the inserted magnetic stripe of the passbook 10 and performs a deposit / withdrawal transaction. Thereafter, the transaction result is printed on the passbook 10, and the passbook 10 is returned from the passbook insertion / return port 6. Here, at the time of passbook printing, when the print page of the passbook 10 becomes full, a message to issue a new passbook 10 is displayed on the customer operation unit 2 and the passbook 10 is returned.
Then, when the customer forgot the returned passbook 10, the passbook 10 is collected into the passbook stacker 12. That is, the forgotten passbook 10 is transported to the passbook stack unit 15 of the passbook stacker 12 by the passbook transport mechanism (not shown). When forgetting of the passbook 10 occurs a plurality of times due to other transactions, the forgotten passbook 10 is accumulated on the stage 8 sequentially as shown in FIG. 3 each time. The passbook 10 accumulated on the stage 8 is lowered together with the stage 8 according to its weight by means of stage raising and lowering means (not shown).

  Then, when a predetermined number of passbooks 10 are accumulated on the stage 8, the automatic transaction apparatus 1 is suspended and a maintenance worker is called. As shown in FIG. 1, the maintenance worker opens the back door 1 a of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 in the direction indicated by arrow A, and then opens the passbook stacker door 13 of the passbook stacker 12 in the direction indicated by arrow B.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5, when the passbook stacker door 13 is rotated in the direction of arrow B, the link drive fulcrum 23 fixed on the back side of the passbook stacker door 13 is also arrowed B with the door rotation support shaft 22 as a fulcrum. Rotate in the direction shown. By the rotation of the link drive fulcrum 23, the link drive fulcrum 23 is guided by the long hole 9a of the link passive part 9-1 fitted, and the link 9 slides in the direction of the opening 15a, that is, in the arrow C direction. Do. That is, since the long hole 9a is formed in the link passive portion 9-1 in the Y axis direction, the movement amount of the link drive fulcrum 23 in the X axis direction moves the link portion 9 in the arrow C direction (X axis direction It becomes the movement amount to be moved to).

  Therefore, when the link drive fulcrum 23 is fitted, the long hole 9a of the link passive portion 9-1 slides the moving direction (the arrow B direction) of the link drive fulcrum 23 toward the opening 15a of the link 9. Functions as a direction conversion means for converting into At this time, the link portion 9 is guided by the link slide fixing fulcrums 24a and 24b fitted in the long holes 9b and 9c formed in the arrow C direction in the link slide portion 9-2, and thus slides in the arrow C direction. . Then, the link turn-back portion 9-3 also slides in the arrow C direction.

  The sliding operation of the link folding back portion 9-3 of the link portion 9 causes the passbook push portion 9-4 provided on the back side of the stacker of the link portion 9 to slide in the arrow C direction, and the vertical portion 9-5 is the stage notch portion 81. And the vertical portion 9-5 presses the back end 10-2 of the passbook 10. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6, the tip 10-1 of the passbook 10 is pushed out from the opening 15 a of the passbook stack unit 15 in the arrow C direction.

  As described above, since the tip 10-1 of the passbook 10 is pushed out in conjunction with the operation of opening the passbook stacker door 13, the maintenance worker does not have to extend the hand of the passbook stacker 12 and sees the passbook 10. You can grab it and take it out. Then, the maintenance worker transfers the taken out passbook 10 to a separately prepared collection box (not shown).

  Thereafter, when the maintenance worker closes the passbook stacker door 13, the passbook stacker door 13 rotates in the reverse direction of the arrow B, and the link drive fulcrum 23 integrated with the back of the passbook stacker door 13 also interlocks with this It turns in the opposite direction of B. Then, the link portion 9 is guided by the link slide supporting points 24a and 24b, moves in the reverse direction of the arrow C, and returns to the original position. Furthermore, the maintenance worker resumes the automatic transaction after closing the back door 1a of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 shown in FIG.

(Modified example of the first embodiment)
FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a modification of the passbook stacker according to the first embodiment. In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the passbook stack unit 15 is provided in the passbook stacker 12, and the link unit 9 is provided in the gap between the passbook stacker 12 and the passbook stack unit 15. The cross section of the stage 8 is square. However, a variation of the passbook stacker according to the first embodiment is a stage 18 having a T-shaped cross section as shown in FIG.

  That is, the stage 18 having a T-shaped cross section includes a wide upper portion 18-1 and a narrow lower portion 18-2, and the upper portion 18-1 has a depth in which a plurality of passbooks 10 are accumulated as in the first embodiment. It has (X-axis direction) and width (Y-axis direction). The lower portion 18-2 supports the upper portion 18-1, and the depth (in the X-axis direction) is the same length as the upper portion 18-1, but the width (in the Y-axis direction) is approximately one third of the length It is. Accordingly, the left and right of the width (Y-axis direction) of the lower portion 18-2 of the stage 18 can be space. Further, the stage 18 can be moved up and down by means of stage raising and lowering means (not shown), and as the number of books in the passbook 10 increases, the stage 18 is lowered by its own weight. Further, a passbook feeding mechanism and a passbook conveyance mechanism (not shown) are disposed on the back side of the stacker of the passbook stacker 12.

  In this modification, the link portion 9 is disposed in the space on the door rotation support shaft 22 side in the space on the left and right of the width (Y-axis direction) of the lower portion 18-2 of the stage 18 having a T-shaped cross section. As a result, the passbook stack unit 15 can be omitted. The link slide fixing fulcrums 24 a and 24 b fitted in the long holes 9 b and 9 c of the link 9 may be fixed to the stage 18 or the casing of the passbook stacker 12. With such a configuration, even when the vertically moving stage 18 moves to the lowermost position, the stage 18 and the link unit 9 do not interfere with each other, so the gap between the passbook stacker 12 and the passbook stack unit 15 Becomes unnecessary, reducing the number of parts and saving space.

  As described above in detail, according to the passbook stacker 12 of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment, the passbook stack unit 15 for accumulating passbooks on the stage 18, and the opening 15a of the passbook stack unit 15 The passbook stacker door 13 is provided to open and close the passbook stacker door 13. The passbook stacker 12 for taking out the passbook 10 in the passbook stack unit 15 by opening the passbook stacker door 13 is interlocked with the opening operation of the passbook stacker door 13. Since the link means 9 is provided which slides the side and presses the rear end 10-2 of the passbook 10 by the slide to push the front end 10-1 of the passbook 10 out of the opening 15a, the passbook stacker door 13 is When the passbook 10 is opened and taken out, it is not necessary to extend the hand of the passbook stacker 12 to the back, and it is possible to grasp and take out the passbook 10 while looking at the passbook 10.

Second Embodiment
The configuration of the passbook stacker 12 of the automatic transaction apparatus according to the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a passbook stacker according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 9 is a top view showing the configuration of the passbook stacker according to the second embodiment.

  The passbook stacker 12 of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment is disposed parallel to the arrow C direction (X axis) at four corners so as to surround the opening 15a of the passbook stack unit 15 of the accumulated passbook 10 There are provided four movable pins 26 and a belt-like stretchable member 20 which is spanned by the four movable pins 26. Further, the passbook stacker 12 sends four solenoid pins 30 as movable pin drive means for sucking and evacuating the four movable pins 26 into the passbook stacker 12, and the solenoid drive 30 by a power supply (not shown). A switch unit 27 is provided with a switch 27a as switch means for turning on / off the current supply, and a stage 28 having a T-shaped cross section for accumulating the passbook 10 up and down in the Z direction.

The four movable pins 26 are made of, for example, a movable iron core of a magnetic body, and as shown by a broken line a in FIG. It is done. And it penetrates the inside of each stopper 26a, and becomes a structure guided by the stopper 26a.
Each movable pin 26 is normally urged in the direction of arrow C by the urging means, but is attracted in the direction of arrow E by energization of the solenoid drive unit 30. The stage 18 has a T-shaped cross section so that the stage 18 and the movable pin 26 do not interfere when the stage 18 movable in the vertical direction moves to the lowermost position due to the weight of the passbook 10.

Although the belt-like stretchable member 20 is made of a stretchable rubber material such as rubber, the belt-like stretchable member 20 may be a non-stripe or rubber-like one as long as the passbook 10 can be bundled. The number is not limited to six, and may be six or eight or more.
Also, instead of providing the solenoid drive unit 30 on each of the movable pins 26, the four movable pins 26 are connected, and all the movable pins 26 are moved in the arrow E direction by one solenoid drive unit 30. You may do so. Further, the electric power for energizing the solenoid drive unit 30 may use the electric power from the automated teller machine 1.
