Fig. 7～Figure 10 schematically shows the exemplary embodiments of the pick device 86 that is used for cash receiving trap 80.In this exemplary embodiments, the stacked body of thin slice 84 is arranged in the skewed slot 82, and with lower surface 148 support and connection of basic inclination.Can operate moving member 150 and 152, engaging with stacked body, and response motor or other device optionally rotate at direction of arrow P, thereby stacked body is moved near composition surface 154.Be provided with loose pulley 156 near the composition surface 154 and with the adjacent position of lower surface 158, it normally rotates freely roller.The joint on the stacked body 84 of composition surface 154 and the surface of roller 156 can play effect, thereby makes thin slice launch.
The pick device 86 of exemplary embodiments also comprises a plurality of rollers 162, and it is in the manner as described below as contactless stripper roll.Pick device also comprises the stripper roll 164 of contact, and its bias voltage ground engages with the high friction part 160 of pick-up piece.
As shown in Figure 8, pick-up piece is one to comprise that the basic of a plurality of annular grooves 166 is columniform.Contactless stripper roll 162 extends in the corresponding annular groove 166, but generally it does not engage with peeling off.As shown in the exemplary embodiments among Fig. 8, the outside surface of contactless stripper roll 162 is set to a little the bottom away from annular groove.Therefore, as the outside surface of the contactless stripper roll 162 of first stripping portion be not set to pick-up piece between contact peel off and engage.But,, and make to have only single thin slice therefore, can realize separating of single thin slice and other thin slice usually by between pick-up piece and the noncontact stripper roll because that the surface of this roller is set to pick-up piece is very approaching.But be to be understood that, in this embodiment, contactless stripper roll can be provided with ground a little away from pick-up piece, and in other embodiments, such roller or other stripper can operate to and actual contact with pick-up piece, but may be because elasticity is consistent or other characteristic makes roller not be in to contact as the bias voltage that contacts stripper roll 164 and peels off in the joint.
As shown in FIG. 8, thus the contact stripper roll is biased to be engaged with the central sheet junction surface 168 of pick-up piece.Central sheet junction surface 168 is placed in the middle with respect to the thin slice that pick device 86 is moved usually.Thin slice was twisted or crooked trend when this had reduced in thin slice moves in pick device.Of course it is to be understood that this layout is a typicalness, in other embodiments, also can use other method.
The operation of typical case's pick device 86 is shown in Fig. 9,10.Pick device can be used for thin slice is separated from stacked body 84 respectively.This realizes by first thin slice 170 that sequentially picks up the lower end of defining stacked body, simultaneously, the first direction of first thin slice at direction of arrow F is moved, thereby thin slice is shifted out from stacked body.In order to realize this point, controller 64 can operating electrical machines or other mobile device, make when pick device 168 when counter clockwise direction is as shown in the figure rotated, make moving member 150,152 equally also rotate, the rotation of pick-up piece makes as the height friction curved portions 160 at thin slice junction surface and the lower surface engages of first thin slice, thin slice is moved between pick-up piece and the contactless stripper roll 162.When first thin slice moved, dummy roll 156 rotations were so that move between pick-up piece and contactless stripper roll at first thin slice.
As shown in Figure 9, when thin slice 170 continues when direction of arrow F moves, the leading edge of this thin slice then engages with contact stripper roll 164, thereby it biasedly engages with the thin slice bonding part of pick-up piece.The contact stripper roll is operably connected with one-way clutch 174, thus in exemplary embodiments, when first thin slice when direction of arrow F moves, it is static that the contact stripper roll keeps.The contact stripper roll is with the effect that engages of thin slice, and the contact stripper roll is moved, thereby makes thin slice 170 move between contact stripper roll and central sheet junction surface 168.The common effect of the resistance of contactless stripper roll is to make that the thin slice with beyond any first thin slice 170 stops to move along direction of arrow F.
As shown in Figure 9, in exemplary embodiments, a sensor 176 is set near the contact stripper roll.Can operation sensor 176 existence that detect by the two-slices of contactless and contact stripper roll.In certain embodiments, the sensor 176 that is fit to is as U.S. Pat 6,241, and 244 and 6,242, shown in 733, its full content is incorporated into that this is only for reference.If detect two-slices, just can so that the controller of machine attempt peeling off other thin slice, as described below.But when only detecting a thin slice, pick-up piece 158 continues to move in the counterclockwise direction, arrives up to the leading edge of thin slice and moves apart roller 178.In exemplary embodiments, moving apart roller can move, and engages with thin slice, and the thin slice in the cash receiving trap is shifted to verifying attachment 88.In exemplary embodiments, pick-up piece revolves to turn around and just a thin slice can be separated from stacked body.
When sensor 176 detected two-slices or other many thin slices and passed through contact and noncontact stripper roll, the controller in this exemplary embodiments can move and make that pick-up piece 158 motion in the counterclockwise direction stops before first thin slice 170 is disengaged.Afterwards, can operation controller make pick-up piece 158 and moving member 150,152 reverse rotations, thereby first thin slice is moved back in the stacked body.By operation one-way clutch 172,174, contact stripper roll 164 and contactless stripper roll 162 can be rotated along counter clockwise direction as shown in the figure, thereby are convenient to thin slice is moved back in the stacked body.Afterwards, controller can be operated pick device 86 and pick up single bill again.Repeat this trial and from stacked body, isolate, thereby can handle it by the cash receiving trap up to single thin slice.
Have been found that the dissimilar financial document slice separates that the exemplary embodiments of pick device 86 is highly suitable for having different qualities goes out.Usually, will separate with contactless stripper roll by the operation pick device with other type thin slice that other have consistent rigidity and rubbing characteristics substantially as thin slices such as new currency.But, rigidity between thin slice and rubbing characteristics significantly not simultaneously, with after contactless stripper roll engages, the contact stripper roll continues to engage with thin slice, thereby does not also have separated thin slice to separate effectively those at thin slice.This is especially useful, particularly handle those and may comprise plastics or currency made of paper, check or have under the situation of thin slice of other file of marked change characteristic to be useful, these thin slices are blended in the stacked body, and each thin slice must pick up out respectively from this stacked body.
Should be appreciated that in exemplary embodiments and can use pick-up roller and column, in other embodiments, also can use other to pick up and for example be with, fill up (pad), pin and other parts with lift-off structure.
The exemplary embodiments of ATM 10 comprises the through-the-wall machine, and its panel is exposed among the physical environment.Therefore, rain and snow can impact panel, under the situation that lacks appropriate measure, may enter into machine.Be understandable that the cash in panel receives opening 40 must be enough big, thereby can receive the skewed slot 82 that is used to hold a heap file 84, as previously mentioned.In process of exchange, when the authority user represented that they want to be inserted into a pile thin slice in the skewed slot, door 44 must be opened, thereby causes skewed slot to be exposed in the physical environment.
In order to reduce the danger for currency receiving trap 80 that is caused by rain and snow, exemplary embodiments has captures the moisture that enters skewed slot and guides the ability of coming out from machine.Shown in method in exemplary embodiments such as Figure 17～19.As shown in figure 17, comprise in the lower surface of skewed slot 148 that at least one water receives opening 180.In exemplary embodiments, water receives opening and comprises one or more tank, and its lower surface that laterally strides across thin slice extends.Certainly, in other embodiments, also can use other method.Fluid receives opening and pipeline 182 has fluid communication, and this pipeline 182 and Jiang Shui are discharged between the drainage channel 184 outside the ATM fluid communication is arranged.Shown in Figure 18,19, tank 180 is connected with fluid coupling 184, and this fluid coupling 184 is connected to drainage channel 184, this drainage channel downside at panel in exemplary embodiments comprises a hole, and comprise an opening, by this opening, water can be discharged to the outside of machine case.
In exemplary embodiments, when the cash receiving trap at run location and when cash receiving trap during at maintenance position as shown in figure 12, be provided with the direction that is used for control tube and be used to guarantee the pipe supporter 186 of draining.In exemplary embodiments, the pipe supporter makes that fluid conduit systems is crooked or is in the risk that a water that hinders skewed slot inside is discharged to the position of machine exterior and reduces.But, should be appreciated that the method that illustrates is exemplary, in other embodiments, also can use other method.
