The limitingportion 422 of thesecond latch member 42 has a guidingsurface 4221, and a limitingsurface 4222 opposite to the second guiding surface 4211. The guidingsurface 4221 is closer to the engagingportion 415 of thefirst latch member 41 than the limitingsurface 4222. In this embodiment, the secondmain body 423 of thesecond latch member 42 substantially extends in a top-down direction, and has opposite upper and lower ends and a middle portion connected between the upper and lower ends. The lower end of the secondmain body 423 is pivotally connected to thecover box 43. Theprotrusion 421 is formed on the upper end of the secondmain body 423 and is located in the moving path (M). Thesecond extension spring 424 is connected between the middle portion of the secondmain body 423 and thecover box 43. The limitingportion 422 is formed on the secondmain body 423 and is located between theprotrusion 421 and thesecond extension spring 424. In this embodiment, the guidingsurface 4221 of the limitingportion 422 is inclined with respect to a longitudinal direction of thesecond latch member 42, and the limitingsurface 4222 is connected to the guidingsurface 4221 and is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of thesecond latch member 42. - Referring to
FIGS. 8, 9 and11 to 15 , the anti-theftplate locking mechanism 40 is operable to switch between a locking state (seeFIGS. 11 and15 ), where thelatch portion 411 of thefirst latch member 41 is located in the moving path (M) so as to prevent theanti-theft plate 30 from moving to the opening position, and an unlocking state (seeFIG. 13 ), where thelatch portion 411 of thefirst latch member 41 is not located in the moving path (M) to allow theanti-theft plate 30 to be moved by the external force to the opening position. When the anti-theftplate locking mechanism 40 is in the unlocking state, thefirst latch member 41 stores a restoring force. When the anti-theftplate locking mechanism 40 is in the unlocking state and when the external force is removed from theanti-theft plate 30, theanti-theft plate 30 is moved to cover the first opening 211 (seeFIG. 8 ), and the anti-theftplate locking mechanism 40 is converted by the restoring force to the locking state. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , in this embodiment, theanti-theft plate 30 includes a platemain body 33 formed with thesecond opening 31 and anindentation 35 at front end thereof, and two biasingsprings 32 each connected between the platemain body 33 and thetop plate 21 of thebox body 20. In this embodiment, the platemain body 33 is formed with two throughholes 34. An end of each of the biasing springs 32 extends through a respective one of the throughholes 34, allowing the biasingspring 32 to be connected to the platemain body 33. Therear plate 25 of thebox body 20 is formed with two spaced apartgrooves 251. Thecasing 70 includes a fixingframe 72, and an abuttingmember 71 that includes twoprotrusions 711 disposed on the fixingframe 72. In this embodiment, the fixingframe 72 is formed with two throughholes 712, through which theprotrusions 711 respectively extend. - Referring to
FIGS. 7 and11 to 15 , when the anti-theftplate locking mechanism 40 is in the locking state (seeFIGS. 11 and15 ), thelatch portion 411 of thefirst latch member 41 is located in the moving path (M), prevents theanti-theft plate 30 from moving to the opening position. Such installation mechanism will be described in details hereinafter. Thefirst extension spring 414 provides a biasing force to the firstmain body 412 to keep thelatch portion 411 located in the moving path (M) when the anti-theftplate locking mechanism 40 is in the locking state. The user can use a key to unlock thedoor lock 241 and open thefront door 24 to expose thefront opening 27. The user then is able to operate the switchingportion 413 of thefirst latch member 41 through thefront opening 27. When the switchingportion 413 is moved downwardly (see the arrow (A) inFIG. 10 ) by the user, the firstmain body 412 of thefirst latch member 41 is pivoted along a direction indicated by the arrow (B) inFIG. 12 , and the engagingportion 415 of thefirst latch member 41 moves on the guidingsurface 4221 of the limitingportion 422 of thesecond latch member 42 and is guided by the guidingsurface 4221 along a direction indicated by the arrow (C) inFIG. 12 onto the limitingsurface 4222, so as to be positioned in thebox body 20 by the limiting surface 4222 (seeFIG. 13 ). InFIG. 13 , the anti-theftplate locking mechanism 40 is in the unlocking state, in which the engagingportion 415 is positioned between the secondmain body 423 and the limitingsurface 4222 of the limitingportion 422 of thesecond latch member 42 and the firstmain body 412 of thefirst latch member 41 is thereby prevented from pivoting upwardly. In the unlocking state of the anti-theftplate locking mechanism 40, thefirst extension spring 414 stores the restoring force, and thelatch portion 411 of thefirst latch member 41 is not located in the moving path (M). Referring toFIG. 14 , when thecashbox 10 is installed to thecasing 70, the protrusions 711 (only one is shown inFIG. 14 ) respectively extend into the grooves 251 (only one is shown inFIG. 14 ) of therear plate 25 of thebox body 20, and abut against the platemain body 33 of theanti-theft plate 30 to transmit the external force to the anti-theft plate 30 (i.e., the external force is exerted via thecasing 70 to the anti-theft plate 30), such that theanti-theft plate 30 is moved by the external force to the opening position (see alsoFIG. 9 ), and the platemain body 33 of theanti-theft plate 30 is moved to contact theprotrusion 421 of thesecond latch member 42, so as to push the secondmain body 423 of thesecond latch member 42 away from the engagingportion 415 of thefirst latch member 41, thereby removing the engagingportion 415 from the limitingportion 422 of thesecond latch member 42. Specifically, when theprotrusion 421 of thesecond latch member 42 is pushed by the platemain body 33 of theanti-theft plate 30, each of the biasing springs 32 (only one is shown inFIG. 14 ) is stretched and stores a recovering force, the secondmain body 423 of thesecond latch member 42 pivots along a direction indicated by the arrow (D) shown inFIG. 14 , thesecond extension spring 424 stores a return force, the firstmain body 412 of thefirst latch member 41 pivots along a direction indicated by the arrow (E) show inFIG. 14 as soon as the engagingportion 415 is released, and an upper end of thelatch portion 411 abuts against a bottom side of the platemain body 33 of theanti-theft plate 30. It is worth mentioning that, to install thecashbox 10 to thecasing 70, the platemain body 33 of theanti-theft plate 30 must be movable in the moving path (M) . Therefore, it is not possible to install thecashbox 10 to thecasing 70 when the anti-theftplate locking mechanism 40 is in the locking state since thelatch portion 411 of thefirst latch member 41 is located in the moving path (M). - While the
cashbox 10 is being installed to thecasing 70, theanti-theft plate 30 is at the opening position (see alsoFIG. 9 ), and the conveyingpath 82 of thecash acceptor 80, the cover plate opening 261 of thecover plate 26, thesecond opening 31 of theanti-theft plate 30, thefirst opening 211 of thetop plate 21 of thebox body 20 and the internal space are spatially communicated, thereby allowing the cash passing discrimination to enter from thecash acceptor 80 and free fall into the internal space of the cashbox 10 (i.e., thecash acceptor 80 is located above the cashbox 10) to be stored in thecashbox 10. - After the
cashbox 10 stores a desired amount of cash, thecashbox 10 may be uninstalled from thecasing 70 for further handling, such as being transported to a bank. Referring toFIG. 15 , when thecashbox 10 is uninstalled from thecasing 70, the protrusions 711 (not shown inFIG. 15 ) of thecasing 70 no longer press against the platemain body 33 of theanti-theft plate 30, and each of the biasing springs 32 (only one is shown inFIG. 15 ) of theanti-theft plate 30 exerts the recovering force to move theanti-theft plate 30 away from theprotrusion 421 of thesecond latch member 42 to cover thefirst opening 211 of the box body 20 (seeFIG. 8 ) . Thefirst extension spring 414 exerts the restoring force to pivot the firstmain body 412 along a direction indicated by the arrow (F) shown inFIG. 15 such that thelatch portion 411 is moved into the moving path (M), and thesecond extension spring 424 exerts the return force to pivot the secondmain body 423 along a direction indicated by the arrow (G) shown inFIG. 15 toward the engagingportion 415 of thefirst latch member 41. The anti-theftplate locking mechanism 40 is then returned to the locking state. Since thefirst opening 211 of thebox body 20 is covered by theanti-theft plate 30, the cash can be safely stored in thecashbox 10. - Referring to
FIG. 16 , in a variation of the embodiment, thelatch portion 411 of thefirst latch member 41 is configured to include ahook 416. When the anti-theftplate locking mechanism 40 is converted from the unlocking state to the locking state and theanti-theft plate 30 is moved to cover thefirst opening 211, thehook 416 of thelatch portion 411 is engaged with theindentation 35, achieving a more state structure. It is worth mentioning that thehook 416 of thelatch portion 411 will not interfere with the front end of theanti-theft plate 30 when the anti-theftplate locking mechanism 40 is being converted to the unlocking state. - The self-locking
cash deposit equipment 1 of this disclosure must be operated by the user with a legit key before thecashbox 10 can be installed to thecasing 70. Since the anti-theftdoor locking mechanism 40 is mounted to thecover box 43 on an inner side of thesecond side plate 22", the anti-theftdoor locking mechanism 40 can only be operated by the user after thefront door 24 is opened by the user with the legit key. In addition, after thecashbox 10 is uninstalled from thecasing 70, theanti-theft plate 30 automatically close thefirst opening 211 of thebox body 20 of thecashbox 10, ensuring safe storage of the cash. - In the description above, for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific details have been set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that one or more other embodiments may be practiced without some of these specific details. It should also be appreciated that reference throughout this specification to "one embodiment," "an embodiment, " an embodiment with an indication of an ordinal number and so forth means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic may be included in the practice of the disclosure. It should be further appreciated that in the description, various features are sometimes grouped together in a single embodiment, figure, or description thereof for the purpose of streamlining the disclosure and aiding in the understanding of various inventive aspects.
