Description

Detailed Description of the Invention "Field of Industrial Application" The present invention relates to an automatic teller machine that circulates deposited banknotes within the machine and reuses them as dispensing banknotes. This invention relates to a stacker drawer mechanism in an automatic deposit/withdrawal machine in which a box in which deposits and withdrawals are made is movable in the vertical direction with respect to the machine body and can be pulled out in the horizontal direction.

``Prior art'' Traditionally, automatic teller machines have a depositing function and a withdrawing function, and they distinguish deposited banknotes one by one inserted into the depositing section, accept the banknotes that have been identified as genuine, and then accept the banknotes as genuine. There is a deposit function that returns banknotes that have not been verified, and the banknotes that are sent out from the in-flight withdrawal box are temporarily stored while being checked for double-feeding, mixture of different types of bills, etc. If a certain number of banknotes have been stored, these banknotes will be dispensed, and if an abnormality is detected before a predetermined number of banknotes have been stored, the abnormal banknote will be removed along with the previously stored banknotes to the redirect box and the banknote will be withdrawn from the beginning. A withdrawal function that redoes the operation is needed.

"Problems to be Solved by the Invention" By the way, in the above-mentioned automatic teller machine, in order to avoid mixing of deposited banknotes and disbursed banknotes, it is necessary to completely distinguish the transport systems for both banknotes. Therefore, it is conceivable to construct a depositing machine and a dispensing machine that have both of the above-mentioned functions separately and then integrate them into one.
If the depositing machine and the dispensing machine are simply combined, there is a problem that the device becomes large and complicated. In addition, in the above-mentioned automatic teller machine, there is a demand for increasing the storage space for deposited banknotes and withdrawal banknotes to reduce the number of times banknotes must be replenished or collected. There is a problem in that it leads to an increase in size.

One way to solve these problems is to
A system in which deposited banknotes are stored in a denomination-specific storage box (stacker) provided for each denomination, and these banknotes of each denomination are fed out and reused as withdrawal banknotes, for example, JP-A-56 A circulating deposit/withdrawal device as shown in Publication No. 33757 has been proposed.

According to the technology described in this publication, genuine bills from the deposited banknotes are sorted and stacked from the top of the storage box according to denomination, and when withdrawing, the banknotes are stacked one by one from the bottom using their own weight. A step-by-step method is used.

However, the technology described in the above publication requires openings at the top and bottom of the storage box for stacking and dispensing, so for example, when taking out the storage box from the aircraft, each opening is sealed. This requires a locking mechanism, which tends to make the structure complicated. In addition, the storage box is generally installed at the bottom of the aircraft, and the transaction port for accepting and dispensing banknotes is generally installed at the top of the aircraft. A path is required to transport the banknotes fed out from the bottom of the machine upward, and if this transport path exists near the storage box, the direction in which the storage box can be attached to and removed from the machine body avoids the location where the transport path exists. It is unavoidable that it is limited by location.

On the other hand, when considering the installation conditions for automatic deposit/withdrawal machines, there are two types: so-called lobby type (mainly installed in the lobby of banks, etc., where the storage box is attached and detached from the operation surface equipped with buttons etc. operated by the customer); , recessed type (mainly installed in unmanned stores, unmanned service corners, etc., it is installed in a wall with only the operation surface exposed to the outside, and the loading operation of the storage box is performed from a separate room inside the wall) ), two types are required,
As described above, if the storage box can be attached and removed only in one direction, a dedicated type is required for each type, and there is a problem in that adaptability to changes in operating conditions such as changes in installation conditions is poor.

In view of the above circumstances, the applicant has developed a bill depositing and dispensing machine which has an opening at the top of the box and which functions to both accept and dispense bills through this opening, and has filed a patent application No. 136571/1983. , special request 1982
-137973, or Japanese Patent Application No. 56-164436, etc.

In these devices, a collection wheel and a suction drum are provided between the above-mentioned opening and the conveyance path above the opening, so that banknotes can be stacked and dispensed from the top of the box. By omitting the conveyance path from the lower part to the upper part, there are no obstacles around the box during attachment/detachment, and the degree of freedom in setting the direction of the attachment/detachment operation is increased.

In addition, the box mentioned above not only functions as a banknote storage inside the aircraft, but also functions as a type of safe to securely store the banknotes inside when removed from the aircraft. Since it is made of thick steel plate or the like, it is heavy, and there is therefore a need to make it as easy as possible to attach and detach it from the aircraft.
In addition, there is a copy machine as a device that handles sheets in a stacked state similar to an automatic deposit/withdrawal machine, and as a technique for facilitating the supply of paper to this copy machine, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 54-77963 or Tokukai Akira
The technique described in Japanese Patent No. 57-77966 is known.
However, these methods are based on a copy machine, and cannot be directly applied when a plurality of boxes are to be taken in and out of a machine at once. In addition, in copy machines that are installed independently on the floor (for example, installed with one side close to a wall), the paper feed tray can be inserted and removed from each direction of the machine, whereas in a bank Automated deposit/withdrawal machines used in the Copy machine technology, which has a high degree of freedom in determining the direction of deposits and withdrawals, could not be directly applied to automatic deposit and withdrawal machines.

The present invention was proposed in view of the above circumstances, and
The purpose of the present invention is to facilitate the installation of a heavy box into the aircraft, and to provide a pull-out device that can accurately position the box at a predetermined position inside the aircraft when it is installed on the aircraft. .

"Means for Solving the Problems" In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a means for inserting and removing bills from the upper opening of a box in which deposited bills or withdrawn bills are accumulated and stored in the vertical direction. In an automatic deposit/withdrawal machine that is transported to a transaction port via a A positioning block and a restriction release piece for stopping the horizontally moving frame at a predetermined position inside the frame are respectively provided, and the plurality of boxes are arranged in a row parallel to each other in the horizontally moving frame. I was told,
and a position where the box support frames respectively inserted along the banknote stacking direction are swingably supported via horizontal link mechanisms operating around a plurality of horizontal axes, and engage with the positioning block; A movement regulating shaft is movably supported between this position and a remote position and is biased toward a position away from the positioning block; It is supported so as to be movable between one position and a remote position, and is urged toward a position where the swinging is restricted, and is pressed against the restriction release piece as the horizontally moving frame is pushed close to a predetermined position inside the machine. The support frame is provided with a swing regulating plate that allows the support frame to swing upward.

"Operation" According to the above configuration, when the box is to be pulled out of the machine, the box support frame must be lowered one step to release the connection between the box and the deposit/withdrawal mechanism, and the horizontally moving frame can be pulled out from the machine. This allows the box and box support frame to be taken out of the machine and the box alone can be taken out. On the other hand, when installing the box inside the machine, the box can be inserted into the box support frame and pushed together with the horizontally moving frame to a predetermined position inside the machine, and the box support frame can be raised one step to set it. .

3 is in contact with the pin 34a of the swinging piece 34 and swings almost integrally in the counterclockwise direction in the figure, setting the collecting wheel 13 at the lower collecting position as shown in FIG.

In this way, when the stacking cars are set to swing to the upper retracted position, this swing mechanism forcibly performs the upward swinging operation, and when set to swing to the downward stacking position, each of the stacking cars 13 to 15 is They will be set to fall individually. That is, the automatic deposit/withdrawal machine according to the present invention transfers the deposited banknotes that are suitable for reuse to the respective deposit/withdrawal boxes 5, 6 as banknotes for withdrawal again.
and the others are stored in the deposit box 7, and if the deposit/withdrawal boxes 5, 6 are already full, the money is intentionally stored in the deposit box 7 without being stored in these boxes 5, 6, Therefore, even if one or both of the deposit/withdrawal boxes 5, 6 are full and cannot be accommodated further (the downward swinging setting of the accumulator is also disabled), the other box 5
Alternatively, the structure is such that storage processing in box 6 or box 7 is possible. In addition, before the stacking car is swung to the lower stacking position, a motor SM, which will be described later, is driven in order to create a space for storing banknotes, and is controlled to move the entire stacked banknotes downward. ing.

Next, when the above-mentioned suction drum 16 suctions and separates banknotes, air is blown onto the sides of the upper stacked banknotes so that the suction and separation action of the banknotes is performed well. That is, the third, sixth,
As shown in FIG. 8, the exhaust pipe 41 connected to the exhaust pump (not shown)
It is extended to near the suction drum 16 by a block 42 fixed to B, and has an exhaust hole 43a at its tip.
An exhaust nozzle 43 having a formed therein is attached.
The air discharged from the exhaust hole 43a of the exhaust nozzle 43 is blown onto the upper stacked banknotes near the suction drum 16. These are provided so as to correspond to each of the two suction drums 16.

The first and second integrating/separating/sending units 9, 10 are configured as described above.

Incidentally, as mentioned above, the storage section 8 has a collection vehicle 13.
A collection car 12 (this collection car may have the same configuration as a conventionally known collection car) is rotatably supported at a height position approximately equal to the upper retracted position, and furthermore, a collection car 12 is fed between the blades of the collection car 12. A drop plate 44 is provided for scraping off banknotes.

Further, as described above, the stacking and storing section 11 may have almost the same configuration as the first and second stacking, separating and sending sections 9 and 10, and there is no need to attract and separate banknotes stacked and stored in the deposit box 7. Therefore, mechanisms related to adsorption and separation, such as the suction drums 16 and 17 and the exhaust nozzle 43, can be eliminated.
However, instead of the suction drum, a roller may be installed to guide the collection and storage.

Next, the configuration of each box 4 to 7 will be explained based on the 1,000-bill deposit/withdrawal box 5.

The upper opening (the upper opening when mounted on the machine body 1) of the 1,000 yen deposit/withdrawal box (hereinafter simply referred to as the box) 5 has a front cover 45 that can swing and rotate, and a presser foot, as shown in FIG. It is opened and closed by a lid 46. The front lid 45 has a box inner plate 47A,
47B and a shaft 49A rotatably supported by box outer plates 48A and 48B (both shown in FIG. 6).
It is fixed to the end of 49B. Guide rollers 50A, 50B are provided on the side plate portions 45a, 45b of the front lid 45 at positions offset from the shafts 49A, 49B, and the opening/closing cams 51 provided on both ends of the body 1 can be opened/closed. By guiding the guide rollers 50A and 50B in the grooves 51a (see FIG. 9), when the box 5 is inserted into the body through the opening/closing cam 51, the front cover 45 moves as shown in FIG. 9A. When it is opened and pulled out of the body by the opening/closing cam 51, it is closed as shown in FIG. 9B. In addition, during this insertion and withdrawal, the lock mechanism that restricts opening and closing of the front cover 45 is released by a release cam 52 provided below the end inside the body 1, as will be described later. Also, each box 4 to 7 inserted into the machine body 1 as shown by the solid line in FIG. Become.

On the other hand, the presser lid 46 is supported by the box 5 main body by a hinge 53 so as to be openable and closable, and a guide roller 54 (only the side plate 46a side is shown) is provided at a position near the front lid 45 on the side plate portions 46a and 46b. provided. The presser cover 46 is always biased to rotate in the direction of opening by a spring (not shown), but the presser cover 46 is provided with a presser cover locking mechanism for restricting the opening, as will be described later. The presser lid 46 is normally set in the closed position when the box 5 is inserted or pulled out (see FIGS. 9A and 9B) and during bill suction and separation operations (see FIG. 3). During the accumulation/storage operation (see FIG. 7), the lock is released for the first time and set to the open position.

However, since the rigid box 4 is of a type in which banknotes are inserted and stored, the presser lid 4
6' is provided with a spring that always biases it to rotate in the closing direction, and a guide roller 54' is provided on the side plate 46a' at a position opposite to the front cover 45.
When the movement is set upward by one step as shown in FIG. 9A, the guide roller 54' of the presser cover 46' comes into contact with the release cam 55 fixed to the inner side plates 19A and 19B of the body, thereby restricting the upward movement. Therefore, the presser lid 46' is rotated upward about the hinge 53 and set to the open position.

The structure of the box 5 will be explained in detail below with reference to FIGS. 10 to 13.

10 is a central sectional view of the box 5, FIG. 11 is a rear sectional view seen from the left in FIG. 10, and FIGS.

The operating plate 56 is rotatably biased by a spring (not shown) in the direction of pressing the banknotes to be accumulated and stored, that is, toward the inner surface.
The amount of rotation is regulated by contacting a regulating piece 46d (see FIG. 13B) fixed to the holder. Therefore, as described above, when the presser cover 46 is set to the open position during the banknote accumulation/storage operation, the operating plate 56 is also set to the open position, and the upper opening of the box 5 is covered almost entirely. It can be opened to perform banknote accumulation and storage operations (see FIG. 7).

Between the box inner plates 47A and 47B,
A storage chamber 5A is formed in which banknotes are accumulated and stored, and a press plate 58 that presses banknotes toward the aforementioned operating plate 56 is movably provided within this storage chamber 5A. This pressing plate 58 is the inside plate 47 of both boxes.
Pressing table 58a formed to protrude outward from the through hole provided in A, 47B (see Fig. 11)
is fixed to. Both protrusions of the pressing member 58a are supported so as to be movable in the axial direction along both the slide shafts 59A and 59B, and are always urged in the direction of the operational movement 56 by a spring 58b. Further, a cushioning member 58c made of rubber or the like is fixed to the pressing plate 58, and a full sensor operating plate 6, which will be described later,
An actuating piece 58d for actuating 7 is fixed.

A mounting plate 60 is provided on the lower surface of the storage chamber 5A (lower side in FIGS. 10 and 11) between both box inner plates 47A and 47B, and at one end on the front lid 45 side, as shown in FIG. In the illustrated example, there are four notches 60a.
is formed. A separation plate spring 61 is provided in the notch 60a on the center side and acts to prevent two or more bills from being pulled out by the suction drum 16 during the bill suction/separation operation. A stopper 62 is provided which presses the end of the stacked and stored banknotes on the side of the mounting plate 60 and rotates to retreat as shown in FIG. 3 during the banknote suction/separation operation.
This stopper 62 has a front cover 45 at the 10th position.
When it is closed as shown in the figure, its tip comes into contact with the inner surface of the front cover 45 and is pressed down, thereby locking the rotational retreat movement shown in FIG. 3. Therefore, when loading banknotes into the box 5 by manual operation, the stopper 62 is configured to serve as a positioning piece during loading.

On the upper surface of the storage chamber 5A (upper side in FIGS. 10 and 11), there is a top lid 63 which is supported by the box 5 main body so as to be openable and closable by another hinge 53 provided coaxially with the rotation axis of the hinge 53 mentioned above. provided, this upper lid 6
A plurality of banknote upper surface guides 64 are provided on the lower surface of the banknote 3 for regulating the position of the end portion of the stacked banknotes on the upper surface side in the figure. A handle 65 for carrying the box 5 is provided at the center of the upper side plate of the upper lid 63, and a handle 65 for carrying the box 5 is provided on the swinging open end side of the upper lid 63 (left side in FIG. A lock (not shown) is provided for locking.

It is configured to be activated by a release cam 52 (see FIG. 9A).

Next, the presser cover locking mechanism will be explained.

A locking piece 46e is fixed to the presser cover 46, and a lock pin 7 is attached to the box inner plate 47A to lock the presser cover 46 in the closed state by engaging with the locking piece 46e.
4a is provided, and this locking piece 74 is constantly urged to rotate by a spring (not shown) in a direction to lock the presser lid 46 in the closed state. Furthermore, this lock piece 74 has a release pin 74b.
is fixed, and the locking piece 4 is secured by a lock release piece 75 (provided on the body inner side plate 19A), which will be described later.
6e and the lock pin 74a are disengaged from each other.

Next, the press plate movement setting mechanism will be explained.

A chain 76 is stretched along a slide shaft 59A that supports a press table 58a to which a press plate 58 is fixed so as to be movable in its axial direction.
6 is connected to one end of the press base 58a, and
It is stretched over a sprocket 77a fixed to one end of a shaft 77. A bevel gear 77 is located in the center of this shaft 77.
b is fixed and meshes with a bevel gear 78a of the shaft 78. This shaft 78 further includes gears 78b and 79b.
gears 79b and 8.
It is interlocked with the connecting shaft 80 via Oa. At the end of the connecting shaft 80 on the front lid 45 side is an output shaft of a pulse drive motor (also called a stepping motor or a pulse motor, hereinafter simply referred to as a motor), which will be described later. A joint portion 80b connected to the connecting drive shaft 81 is fixed. In addition, the connecting shaft 80
A locking portion 80c that can be engaged with a connecting shaft lock release plate 82, which will be described later, is provided at the other end of the locking portion 80c. The connecting shaft 80 is slidably supported in the axial direction by a support block 83, and is supported by a lock pin 80.
d is fixed. Further, a lock groove 83a is formed in the support block 83 so that a lock pin 80d is engaged therewith. Furthermore, the connecting shaft 80
is slidably biased by a spring 80e toward the front lid 45 in a direction in which the lock pin 80d engages with the lock groove 83a.

Therefore, in the normal box 5 alone, the lock pin 80d is moved into the lock groove 83a by the spring 80e.
Since the rotation of the connecting shaft 80 is restricted by engaging with the connecting shaft 80, each shaft 77, 78,
79 is also locked, and movement of the press plate 58 connected to the chain 76 is restricted. Also, the box 5 is set to move upward one step as shown by the imaginary line A in FIG. When the lock pin 80b is engaged, the engagement between the lock pin 80d and the lock groove 83a is released, and the connecting shaft 80 can be rotated by the motor SM. When the motor SM is rotated in the forward and reverse directions, the press plate 58
is set to be movable toward and away from the front lid 45 direction.

Note that even if the joint portion 80b of the connecting shaft 80 and the connecting drive shaft 81 are not completely inserted as shown in FIG. 12c, the connecting drive shaft 81
Spring 80 is rotated to ensure complete insertion.
It is clear that e works.

In this way, the lock pin 80 is attached to the connecting shaft 80.
d Spring 80e and lock groove 8 of support block 83
A connecting shaft locking mechanism constituted by 3a is also provided.

On the other hand, in the case of the box 5 alone, the press plate 58 must be movable when opening the above-mentioned upper lid 63 to load or take out banknotes.
A top cover opening lock release mechanism is provided for releasing the action of the connecting shaft locking mechanism in conjunction with the opening operation of the top cover 63. That is, the connecting shaft lock release plate 82 is supported slidably in the same direction as the sliding direction of the connecting shaft 80, and the connecting shaft 80 is fitted into the locking piece 82a at one end thereof, and the locking portion 80c and the connecting shaft 80 are inserted into the locking piece 82a at one end. It is configured to be lockable. The connecting shaft lock release plate 82 is slidably biased in the opposite direction to the connecting shaft 80 by a spring 82b, and the biasing force of the spring 82b is set to be stronger than the biasing force of the spring 80e of the connecting shaft 80. Further, at the other end of the connecting shaft lock release plate 82 and at a position close to the upper lid 63, a roller 82c is inserted into a through hole formed in the box inner plate 47A and projects into the storage chamber 5A of the box 5. It is set up to do so. On the other hand, on the lower surface of the side of the upper lid 63, there is a regulating piece 6 that engages with the roller 82c and moves the connecting shaft lock release plate 82 toward the connecting shaft 80 side.
3a is fixed.

Therefore, when the top lid 63 is opened to take out and take out banknotes, the connecting shaft lock release plate 82 slides away from the front lid 45 by the spring 82b without being restricted by the restriction piece 63a. At this time, the locking piece 82a engages with the locking portion 80c of the connecting shaft 80, causing the connecting shaft 80 to slide in the same direction against the spring 80e. Then, the engagement between the lock pin 80d and the lock groove 83a is released, and the pressing plate 58 can be moved and set manually.

The aforementioned stopper 62 is provided at the end of the front lid 45 side.
A shaft 84 to which the stopper 62 is fixed is rotatably supported, and a stopper arm 85 which is operated to swing the stopper 62 is fixed to the shaft 84. A roller 85a that engages with an operating arm 86, which will be described later, is supported at its swinging tip. Further, a stopper 6 is provided on the shaft 84.
2 is a spring 8 that biases rotation in the direction of pressing the edge of the banknote;
4a (see Figure 6).

Next, a description will be given based on FIG. 13.

The box inner side plate 47B is also provided with a front cover lock and a release mechanism having the same configuration as the front cover lock and release mechanism provided on the box inner side plate 47A, to prevent the front cover 45 from being easily opened. . Incidentally, members having the same functions will be given the same reference numbers and their explanations will be omitted.

A top sensor actuation plate 57 is located close to the front cover 45, and its tip is moved toward the front cover 45 by an actuation pin 56b swingably provided to actuate a top sensor 87, which will be described later.

Further, in proximity to this upper surface sensor actuating plate 57,
A switch actuation plate 88 is fixed to actuate a box detection switch 89, which will be described later.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 13c, the actuating piece 58d fixed to the pressing plate 58 that moves between the box inner plate 47B and the banknote side guide 66 is accommodated through the through hole of the box inner plate 47B. A full detection lever 90 provided protruding toward the chamber 5A is swung, and a spring 6 is attached to the full detection lever 90.
The full sensor actuating plate 67, which is urged to slide in the direction of contact by the lever 7a, is locked, and the tip of the full sensor actuating plate 67 (the left end in FIG. 13c) is moved by the swinging of the full detection lever 90. Full sensor 9 described later
1. The timing at which the full sensor 91 is activated is when the amount of banknotes accumulated and stored in the box 5 is full (more precisely, when the amount of banknotes stored in the box 5 is equal to or more than the maximum storage amount minus the maximum amount accepted in one transaction). ).

A connecting shaft 80 (see FIG. 12) that directly drives the chain 76 is not provided on the box inner plate 47B side, and this chain 76 is connected to each shaft 77, 77.
A chain (not shown) stretched between sprockets 77c and 77c allows both chains 76 and 7
6 are configured to be driven synchronously.

Next, a mechanism for driving each mechanism provided in the box 5 described above will be explained.

First, the presser cover opening mechanism will be explained.

The presser lid 46 is used during bill suction and separation operation (accumulation vehicle 1
3 is set in the upper retracted position), it is locked in the closed position, and during bill stacking and storage operation (the stacking car 13
is set at the lower stacking position), so it is configured to open and close in conjunction with the rocking motion of the stacking car. That is, the eighth
As shown in the figure, in addition to one end of the connecting rod 39, one end of the interlocking rod 92 is supported by the pin 34b fixed to the swinging tip of the swinging piece 34. The other end of the interlocking rod 92 is supported by a pin 93b at the upper end of an open arm 93 that is swingably supported by a shaft 93a. A roller 93c is supported on the swinging lower end side of the release arm 93 for actuating the lock release piece 75 provided for unlocking the presser lid locking mechanism described above. is the presser foot cover 4 in the unlocked state.
6 to the open position (shown by the imaginary line in Figure 8),
Also, a cam surface 93d is formed for pushing back to the closed position. The cam surface 93d is configured to come into contact with a guide roller 54 supported by the side plate portions 46a, 46b of the presser lid 46.
Further, the lock release piece 75 is swingably supported by the body inner side plate 19A, and is always rotationally biased toward the roller 93c of the release arm 93 by a spring (not shown).

Therefore, when the release arm 93 starts swinging in the direction shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 8, the roller 93c first swings the lock release piece 75 downward as shown in FIG. The locking piece 74 that locks the presser lid 46 is engaged with the release pin 74b, causing it to swing, and the engagement between the locking piece 46e and the locking pin 74a is released. When the movement is further performed, the guide roller 54 of the presser cover 46 is released along the cam surface 93d of the release arm 93 to the position shown by the imaginary line in FIG. It should be noted that when the presser cover 46 is closed, an operation opposite to the above-mentioned operation is performed.

Next, the stopper drive mechanism will be explained.

Stopper arm 8 integrated with stopper 62
The roller 85a supported at the tip of the roller 85a is actuated by an actuation arm 86 swingably supported by a shaft 86a of the inner body plate 19A. The operating arm 86 is urged to rotate in a direction away from the roller 85a by a spring (not shown), and its central portion is connected to a plunger 94b of a solenoid 94 by a pin 94a.

Therefore, only during the banknote suction/separation operation, the solenoid 94 is energized just before counting so as to rotate and retract the stopper 62 as shown in FIG. It is controlled to return to the position shown in FIG. 2 to prevent erroneous counting. Further, as described above, during the banknote stacking and storing operation, the stopper 62 serves as a guide when scraping banknotes from the stacking wheel 13.

Further, the above-mentioned motor SM is provided on the body inner side plate 19A, and a connecting drive shaft 81, which is an output shaft thereof, is provided facing downward.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the presser cover 46 also comes into contact with the guide roller 54 provided on the side plate portion 46b of the presser cover 46 on the side of the body inner plate 19B.
An opening arm 93 for opening and closing is provided.

Furthermore, the aforementioned full sensor 91, upper surface sensor 87, and box detection switch 89 are provided at the lower end of the body inner plate 19B at positions close to the box 5, respectively.

As mentioned above, the full sensor 91 is
When the banknotes accumulated and stored therein reach almost the storage capacity of the box 5, the full sensor actuating plate 67 in the box 5 is activated. Further, the box detection switch 89 is activated by a switch operating plate 88 inside the box 5 when the box 5 is loaded into the main body of the automatic teller machine.

The top surface sensor 87 is provided to detect whether the top surface position of the banknotes stacked and stored in the box 5 is set at a position where it can be sucked by the suction drum 16, and is shown in FIG. 16A. like,
When the top surface of the banknote is set in a position where it does not come into contact with the suction drum 16 at all, the actuating plate 56 of the presser cover 46 swings downward, and the actuating pin 56b at the tip of the swing moves toward the top sensor actuating plate. The top sensor 87 is activated by swinging the tip of the sensor 57 upward. In such a case, since the upper surface position has not been set, the aforementioned motor SM is driven to move the press plate 58 upward. When the banknote top surface position is set to a predetermined position, the actuating plate 56 of the presser cover 46 swings upward, and the actuating pin 56b at the tip of the swing moves the tip of the top sensor actuating plate 57 downward. to release the operation of the upper surface sensor 87. In this way, the upper surface position setting is completed at the timing when the upper surface sensor 87 is switched from activation to release, and the driving of the motor SM described above is stopped.

In addition, with the bill suction and separation operation, the upper surface sensor 87
When the above operation is performed, the motor SM is controlled to be driven at any time to set the upper surface position.

Next, we will discuss the first stacker support mechanism that allows boxes 4 to 7 to be pulled out and loaded from the machine body 1.
This will be explained based on FIGS. 7 to 18.

A horizontally movable frame 96 is provided below the body 1 and is supported via a slide rail 95 so that it can be pulled out in the horizontal direction. This horizontally moving frame 96
is provided with a large number of box guides 97 for positioning and guiding the boxes 4 to 7 in the front, rear, left and right directions. A release piece 73 is provided for operating the second lock release lever 72 of the front cover lock release mechanism provided in each of the boxes 4 to 7 described above. Also, some box guides 97
A roller guide 98 that is vertically supported upward is provided at a position adjacent to the roller guide 98 .

On the other hand, the lower ends of a large number of arms 99 are rotatably supported on the outside of the upper part of the horizontally moving frame 96, and at the swinging tips of the large number of arms 99, an upward swinging frame 100 is set to swing upward. They are connected to form a so-called parallel link structure. A plurality of cam bodies 100a are fixed to the inner surface of the upper swinging frame 100, and the arm 99 on the pull-out direction side is configured as a handle 99a.

Further, a box support frame 101 is provided on the upper part of the upper swinging frame 100 so as to be vertically movable and is positioned and supported by the roller guide 98 and the cam body 100a. That is, the box support frame 101 is elastically supported by the support rod 101b by the spring 101a, and
01b, a roller 101c provided at the end is positioned and supported by the aforementioned roller guide 98 and cam body 100a (see FIG. 18A).

Therefore, when the handle 99a is lifted as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 17B, the upper swinging frame 10
0 moves upward and also moves inward of the fuselage 1 (to the right in the figure). At this time, the cam body 100a fixed to the inner surface of the upper swinging body 100
8 side, the roller 101c supported by the support rod 101b (not particularly shown, but the rollers are stacked in two stages and individually abut against the roller guide 98 and the cam body 100a) is a roller guide. 9
The boxes 4 to 7 are moved upwardly by the cam body 100a while being restricted in the horizontal direction by the box support frame 101.
The upper setting of is completed (see FIG. 18B). still,
Box outer plates 48A, 48 of each box 4 to 7
A protruding piece 102 is fixed to B, and this protruding piece 10
2 is engaged with and supported by the box support 101 described above. Further, a handle 103 is provided for vertically inserting and removing each box 4 to 7 from the stacker support mechanism.

Next, a mechanism for regulating vertical setting and insertion/removal of the stacker support mechanism will be explained. That is,
Each box 4 to 7 is restricted from being set to the upper stage until the horizontally movable frame 96 is inserted into a predetermined position in the aircraft body 1, and the horizontally movable frame 96 is prevented from being set to the upper stage at a predetermined position. By restricting the ability to withdraw, each box 4~
7 and the aforementioned storage section 8, first and second accumulation/separation/sending sections 9, 10, and accumulation/accommodation section 11 which are connected thereto.

Front plate 104 at the insertion side tip of the horizontally moving frame 96
In this case, the movement regulating shaft 10 is fixed by the support block 105.
6 is supported slidably in the vertical direction, and this movement regulating shaft 106 is urged by a spring 106a to retract upward. In addition, this movement regulating shaft 10
A rotary lever 107 having a roller 107a at a position where it can come into contact with the upper end of the lever 107 is rotatably supported by a shaft 107b, and has a long hole 107c formed at the other end. When the rotating lever 107 rotates, the roller 107a at the tip moves onto the movement regulating shaft 10.
It acts to press the upper end of 6 and slide it downward. On the other hand, an operating lever 108 is fixed downward to a support rod 101b that is integral with the box support frame 101, and a pin 108 is supported at the lower end of the operating lever 108.
a is fitted into the elongated hole 107c of the rotary lever 107. Furthermore, a positioning block 109 is fixed to the lower end of the body 1 to prevent the horizontally movable frame 96 from moving beyond a predetermined position.

Further, a swing regulating plate 110 is supported by a pin 110a above the insertion side distal end of the horizontal movement frame 96 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction.
0 is urged to protrude upward by a spring (not shown). On the other hand, at the insertion side tip of the upper sliding frame 100, there is a swing regulating plate 110 that projects upward.
The roller 100 is placed in such a position that it contacts the upper side of the
b is supported, and the upper swinging frame 100 cannot swing upward unless the swing regulating plate 110 is retracted downward. Further, when the horizontal movement frame 96 is inserted and set at a predetermined position, a roller 110 of the swing regulating plate 110 is provided at the insertion side tip of the body 1.
A restriction release piece 111 is provided which contacts b and causes the swing restriction plate 110 to be retracted downward.

Therefore, unless the horizontally movable frame 96 is inserted into a predetermined position of the body 1, the upper swing frame 100 cannot be set to swing upward by the swing restriction plate 110.
Further, when the upper stage is set at a predetermined position, the movement of the movement regulating shaft 106 in the horizontal direction is regulated by the positioning block 109.

As described above, the automatic teller machine to which this invention is applied is:
It is composed of the main mechanisms mentioned above, and the operations of various handling patterns of this automatic teller machine are described below, such as ``Outline of automatic teller machine operation'', ``Deposit processing'', ``Storage processing'', and ``Withdrawal processing''. Details of "Gold processing" have already been published in Japanese Patent Application No. 164436 (October 15, 1988).
Since it has been explained in the Japanese patent application), the explanation here will be omitted.

Next, the operation of this invention will be explained.

When each box is attached to the machine body 1 of the automatic teller machine, the front lid 45 is in an open state, and the banknotes in the box and the pay-in/with-out mechanism (for example, the first accumulation/separation/dispensing unit 9) are in an open state. Connection is possible via the upper opening. Therefore, the depositing mode or the dispensing mode, that is, the bill accumulating and storing function that stores deposited bills in each box 5 to 7, or the bill suction and feeding function that dispenses bills from the depositing and dispensing boxes 5 and 6, can be operated freely. Become. In these cases, as shown in FIGS. 18B and 18D, the movement regulating shaft 106 and the positioning block 109 are fitted to position the horizontally movable frame 96, so that the roller guide of the horizontally movable frame 96 Box support frame 101, in which box 98 and roller 100c are in contact to support each box, is also fixed.
Therefore, each box is connected to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism at a precise position, and this state is maintained.

From these conditions, when the handle 99a is tilted counterclockwise as shown by the chain line in FIG. By this rotation, the box support frame 101 supported by the vertically swinging frame 100 moves one step downward and a little in the drawing direction as shown in FIG. 17A. Due to this movement, the operating lever 108 integrated with the support rod 101b moves downward, and the rotating lever 107 is rotated in a direction away from the movement regulating shaft 106. Therefore, the movement regulating shaft 106 is lifted by the biasing force of the spring 106a and removed from the positioning block 109, and the horizontally movable frame 96 can be pulled out.

Next, when the horizontal moving frame 96 is pulled out by pulling the handle 99a to the left in FIG. 17B, each box supported by the box support frame 101 is pulled out to the outside of the machine 1. Also, each box is
By lifting the handle 103 upward as shown in FIG. 7A, the box can be easily pulled out from the box support frame 101.

On the other hand, when the horizontal movement frame 96 is pushed into the body 1 with each box inserted into the box support frame 101, the horizontal movement frame 96 is inserted all the way and the handle 99a is rotated. Installation is completed by operation. That is, the horizontal movement frame 96 is moved to a stopper (not shown, but the movement regulating shaft 1
06 and the positioning block 109), the swing regulating plate 1 is inserted as far as it will go, as shown in FIGS.
The ten rollers 110b abut against the restriction release piece 111, are driven downward, and are removed from the rollers 100b of the upper swinging frame 100. At this time, the upper swinging body 100 becomes movable upward and in the insertion direction by the arm 99 for the first time. Therefore, accidents such as each box coming into contact with the deposit/withdrawal mechanism are prevented, and when the handle 99a is lifted, the upper swinging frame 100 moves upward and simultaneously moves in the insertion direction. do. At this time, the cam body 10
0a moves to the roller guide 98 side and the roller 10
1c moves upward while its horizontal movement is restricted by the roller guide 98, and the setting of the upper row of each box is completed as shown in FIG. 18B.

Further, when the box support frame 101 is moved upward, the rotation lever 107 is rotated, and the movement regulating shaft 106 is rotated against the biasing force of the spring 106a.
In order to drive the box guide 97 downward, a fitting action occurs when the movement regulating shaft 106 and the positioning block 109 are aligned, and the box guide 97 can no longer move in the horizontal direction.

"Effects of the Invention" As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, when the box is installed inside the aircraft,
Movement is restricted in the horizontal direction to ensure that the connection between the box and the deposit/withdrawal mechanism is maintained accurately.When attaching/removing the box to/from the machine, deposit/withdraw by moving the box up and down using the horizontal movement frame movement operation. Since it can be smoothly engaged and disengaged from the mechanism, and the upward swinging movement of the upper swinging frame is restricted during the movement operation of this horizontally moving frame, safety for the deposit/withdrawal mechanism, the machine, etc. can be improved. This also has the advantage of simplifying the operation by reducing it to a single operation.
