Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile device and a transaction device, and more particularly to a mobile device and a transaction device that can be surely stationary at a predetermined position with a simple configuration.

Conventionally, a transaction apparatus has a function in which a user operates when dealing with cash, cash vouchers, etc. (customer service), business for replenishing and counting transactions such as cash, cash vouchers, etc., and control circuits and internal mechanisms. Some have a surface (a staff operation surface) for a staff member to handle during maintenance (for example, see Patent Document 1).
JP 2004-240921 A (paragraphs 0050 to 0059, FIG. 7-8).

  Moreover, some transaction apparatuses are provided in the passage for convenience of the user, such as a payment machine. Therefore, the installation space is limited, the space on the side of the clerk's operation surface is relatively small, and maintenance of the built-in equipment and collection of cash can be done by installing a moving device at the bottom of the transaction device and rotating the clerk at work There was something to do. As a conventional moving device, for example, a turntable, there is one that includes a rotating member on which a transaction device is placed and a bearing that rotatably supports the rotating member around a vertical axis. In addition, some of these turntables include a mechanism for stopping the rotating member at a predetermined position.

  However, in such a conventional moving device, the mechanism for stopping includes, for example, a lock fixing member, an upright plate member, a cylinder, and a lock movable member. There are things that are stationary at the position, and in this case, an installation section is required around the transaction apparatus, which sometimes becomes a large-scale as a stationary mechanism.

  Then, an object of this invention is to provide the moving apparatus and transaction apparatus which can be made still in a predetermined position reliably with a simple structure.

  In order to achieve the above object, the moving apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention is configured to be fixed to an installation surface 200 (see, for example, FIG. 4) as shown in FIG. 1 or 2, for example. A fixing means 110 in which a perforation 131 is formed on a surface facing 200; an intermediate member 140 fitted in the perforation 131 and disposed so as to be rotatable relative to the fixing means 110; and fixed to the intermediate member 140 A movable means 150; a rotating means 160 that allows the movable means 150 to rotate relative to the fixed means 110; and a movable means 150 disposed on the fixed means 110 and in contact with the intermediate member 140 to And positioning means 170 for positioning.

  If comprised in this way, a movable means will be fixed to the intermediate member inserted in the piercing | piercing formed in the fixing means, and a rotation means will make a movable means relatively rotatable with respect to a fixing means. Therefore, the movable means rotates relative to the fixing means together with the intermediate member. The positioning means is disposed on the fixing means 110 and contacts the intermediate member to position the movable means. In other words, since the movable means is stationary, it is possible to provide a moving device that can be surely stationary at a predetermined position with a simple configuration.

  Further, as described in claim 2, in the moving device described in claim 1, as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, for example, as shown in FIG. 141 and an engaging portion 142 in which a hole 143 is formed on the outer peripheral surface. The positioning means 170 includes an insertion portion 171 (see, for example, FIG. 3) inserted into the hole 143. It may be configured.

  If comprised in this way, since the outer peripheral surface of the insertion part inserted in perforation is formed in a curved surface, the intermediate member can rotate smoothly with respect to a fixing means. Since the positioning means positions the movable means that rotates together with the intermediate member by inserting the insertion portion into the hole formed in the outer peripheral surface of the engaging portion of the intermediate member, the positioning means is efficiently manufactured with a simple configuration. It can be set as the moving device which can do.

  Further, as described in claim 3, in the moving device described in claim 1 or 2, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, a stop that is fixed to the intermediate member 140 and restricts the rotation range of the movable means 150. A means 180 may be provided.

  If comprised in this way, the rotation range of the movable means rotated with an intermediate member can be arbitrarily determined with simple structure, and a movable means does not rotate too much and will not destroy an apparatus.

  Further, as described in claim 4, in the moving device according to any one of claims 1 to 3, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the rotating means 160 includes the movable means 150 and the fixing means 110. You may comprise including the some bearing 161 which contact | abuts and rotates any one of the mutually opposing surfaces.

  With this configuration, the intermediate member serves as a pivot shaft, and the plurality of bearings constituting the pivot means rotate and support the movable means, thereby simplifying the configuration.

  In order to achieve the above object, a transaction apparatus according to a fifth aspect of the present invention includes, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a housing 20 that houses a money handling device 30 that processes money; It is comprised so that it may be equipped with the moving apparatus 100 of any one of Claim 1 thru | or 4.

  If comprised in this way, since a housing | casing accommodates the money processing apparatus which processes money inside, and is mounted in the movable means of the moving apparatus of any one of Claim 1 thru | or 4, It is possible to provide a transaction apparatus that can be reliably stopped at a predetermined position with a simple structure even when the weight increases and the rotation is frequently performed due to maintenance, inspection, or the like.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the fixing means is configured to be fixed to the installation surface, and the perforation is formed on the surface opposite to the installation surface. An intermediate member that is movably disposed, a movable means that is fixed to the intermediate member, a rotating means that allows the movable means to rotate relative to the fixing means, and an intermediate member that is disposed on the fixing means. Since it is configured to include positioning means that contacts the member and positions the movable means, it is possible to provide a moving device that can be surely stationary at a predetermined position with a simple configuration.

Further, the turntable 100 includes a stopper 180 that is fixed to the rotation shaft member 140 and serves as a stopping unit that restricts the rotation range of the table 150.

  The first base 120 includes a floor surface and a ground surface on which various perforations 121 (see FIG. 2C) are formed in a thick sheet metal 122 formed in a substantially rectangular shape to serve as an installation surface 200 (see FIG. 4). Then, it is fixed to a concrete surface or the like with a plurality of fixtures 193 (see FIG. 4) using a part of the plurality of perforations 121. When the first base 120 is fixed to the installation surface 200, the sheet metal 122 is fixed so as to be substantially parallel to the installation surface 200, typically substantially horizontal.

  The first base 120 includes a plurality of pins 123 that are welded so as to be substantially perpendicular to the sheet metal 122, typically, substantially vertical. The plurality of pins 123 are formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and screw holes are formed in the upper part. When the first base 120 is fixed to the installation surface 200 (see FIG. 4), the plurality of pins 123 are on the surface opposite to the side facing the installation surface 200 of the sheet metal 122 (upper side in the vertical direction). It is attached.

  Further, the first base 120 includes a cover attachment member 124 for attaching a cover 191 (see FIG. 4) that covers the side surface of the turntable 100 and prevents contact with internal mechanisms and adhesion of dust. A cable 125b (see FIG. 2 (c)) connected to a host device of a transaction apparatus (see FIG. 4) placed on 100 and a terminal 125a (see FIG. 2 (c)) that enables connection with the transaction apparatus. The terminal attaching member 125 for attaching the metal plate 122 to the sheet metal 122 and the cable 125c (see FIG. 2C) for connecting the terminal 125a and the transaction apparatus can be disposed and protected, and the rotating shaft member 140 is assembled when the turntable 100 is assembled. And a cable cover member 126 (see FIG. 2C) that functions as a mounting base.

  Three cover attachment members 124 are attached, and each cover attachment member 124 is fixedly attached with a screw along the three sides of the substantially rectangular sheet metal 122. The cover attachment member 124 is a rod-like member having a substantially L-shaped cross-section, and is attached so that one side of the substantially L-shape is substantially perpendicular to the sheet metal 122. A screw hole for attaching the cover 191 (see FIG. 4) is formed in a substantially vertical surface.

  The terminal attachment member 125 is fixedly attached with screws to the remaining one side of the substantially rectangular sheet metal 122 where the cover attachment member 124 is not provided. The cable cover member 126 is fixedly attached to the substantially center of the sheet metal 122 with a screw.

  The cable cover member 126 is formed in a substantially rectangular tube shape, and is formed so that the opening surface is substantially horizontal with respect to the sheet metal 122. A part of the opening surface of the cable cover member 126 is closed, and as described above, the closed portion functions as a mount for the rotating shaft member 140 when the turntable 100 is assembled. The cable 125c extends through a substantially cylindrical inner side of the cable cover member 126 to a control unit 60 (see FIG. 4) described later of the transaction apparatus (see FIG. 4).

  The second base 130 includes a thick sheet metal 132 and a center guide 133 assembled to the sheet metal 132. The center guide 133 is a block member separate from the sheet metal 132 and is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape. A hollow portion of the center guide 133 becomes a perforation 131 (see FIG. 2B) formed on a surface facing the installation surface 200 (see FIG. 4).

  The sheet metal 132 is formed in a shape in which three corners of a substantially rectangular member are cut off. In addition, the sheet metal 132 is formed to have a size substantially equal to that of the first base 120. In the sheet metal 132, a perforation 134 (see FIG. 2B) is formed substantially at the center. The center guide 133 is fixed to the sheet metal 132 with screws so that a part of the wall thickness is fitted into the perforation 134 so that the substantially cylindrical axis is substantially perpendicular to the sheet metal 132. The center guide 133 is attached so as to protrude to one surface side of the sheet metal 132. Further, a plurality of holes 135 (see FIG. 2B) are formed in the sheet metal 132 in addition to the perforations 134.

  The second base 130 is fixed to the pin 123 of the first base 120 described above via the hole 135 (see FIG. 2B) with a screw 136. The second base 130 is attached so that the surface on which the center guide 133 does not protrude faces the first base 120. When the second base 130 is fixed to the first base 120, the second base 130 is substantially parallel to the first base 120. Furthermore, the opening surface of the center guide 133 is substantially parallel to the first base 120 and the installation surface 200 (see FIG. 4).

  As described above, since the hollow portion of the center guide 133 becomes the perforation 131 (see FIG. 2B), the diameter of the perforation 131 is the inner diameter of the hollow portion of the center guide 133. Further, the diameter of the hole 134 formed in the sheet metal 132 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the hollow part because a part of the thickness of the center guide 133 is fitted into the hole 134.

  In the present embodiment, the second base 130 is described as including the sheet metal 132 and the center guide 133 that is a member different from the sheet metal 132. However, the sheet metal 132 and the center guide 133 are integrated. You may form in. For example, a portion corresponding to the center guide 133 may be cut out from the sheet metal 132, or the thickness of the sheet metal 132 itself may be sufficient so that the center guide 133 is not provided. In short, any configuration that can guide a rotation shaft member 140 described later may be used. In the case where the thickness of the sheet metal 132 itself is sufficient and the center guide 133 is not provided, the perforation itself formed in the sheet metal 132 is the above-described perforation 131.

  The rotating unit 160 is configured to include a plurality of bearings 161 that rotate by abutting against any one of mutually opposing surfaces of a table 150 and a second base 130 described later. The rotating unit 160 may be attached to the table 150 or may be attached to the second base 130. In the present embodiment, the rotation unit 160 is disposed on the surface (vertical upper side) opposite to the installation surface side of the sheet metal 132 of the second base 130, and rotates the table 150. 150 is supported with respect to the vertical direction. Here, eight bearings 161 are provided in a circular shape along the center guide 133 at substantially equal intervals (see FIG. 2B). The plurality of bearings 161 abut on the surface on the installation surface side (vertical direction lower side) of the table 150 and rotate.

  As described above, the rotation shaft member 140 is disposed in the perforation 131 so as to be rotatable relative to the fixed portion 110. The rotation shaft member 140 includes an insertion portion 141 that has an outer peripheral surface formed into a curved surface and is inserted into a perforation 131 (see FIG. 2B), and an engagement portion 142 that has an outer periphery formed with a hole 143. It is formed in a column shape. Here, the substantially columnar shape is a concept including a substantially cylindrical shape. In the present embodiment, the rotation shaft member 140 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape. The rotation shaft member 140 has a central axis that is substantially perpendicular to the sheet metal 132 of the second base 130 when the insertion portion 141 is inserted into the perforation 131 (see FIG. 2B).

  One of the rotation shaft members 140 is a part of the fitting portion 141 and the other is a portion of the engaging portion 142 with the substantially center as a boundary with respect to the substantially cylindrical axial direction. The fitting portion 141 is formed so that the outer peripheral surface is a curved surface, and in this case, the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the axial direction is a circular shape. The fitting portion 141 is fitted into the perforation 131 (see FIG. 2B), and serves as a rotation shaft for rotation relative to the fixed portion 110 of the rotation shaft member 140 while being guided by the center guide 133. The fitting portion 141 is an end surface portion perpendicular to the axial direction, and a screw hole (not shown) for fixing a table 150 to be described later is provided on the end surface portion 141a opposite to the side in contact with the engaging portion 142. ) Is formed.

  Similar to the fitting portion 141, the engaging portion 142 is formed so that the outer peripheral surface is a curved surface, and in this case, the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the axial direction is a circular shape. The engaging portion 142 has a hole 143 into which a lock shaft 171 as an insertion portion of a stationary mechanism 170 described later is inserted on the outer peripheral surface. Four holes 143 are formed about every 90 ° around the outer peripheral surface. The four holes 143 are formed at substantially equal positions with respect to the axial direction of the engaging portion 142.

  Further, the engaging portion 142 has a hole 144 for attaching a stopper 180 as a stopping means described later between the holes 143 on the outer peripheral surface. Two holes 144 are formed in one place along the axial direction, and four sets are formed around the outer peripheral surface at intervals of about 90 °. In addition, the engaging portion 142 is formed with a concave portion 144a that is chamfered with respect to the curved surface of the outer peripheral surface at the portion where each hole 144 is formed, and the stopper 180 is reliably engaged by the concave portion 144a. It becomes possible to fix to the part 142.

  The table 150 is formed of a sheet metal 151 having a substantially rectangular shape and a size substantially equal to that of the first base 120. In the table 150, a perforation 152 (see FIG. 2A) is formed in the approximate center of the sheet metal 151. Further, the table 150 has a plurality of perforations 153 (see FIG. 2A) formed along the edge of the perforations 152 of the sheet metal 151. Further, the table 150 is formed with perforations 154 (see FIG. 2A) at the four corners of the sheet metal 151, respectively. Further, the table 150 includes a cover attachment member 155 for attaching a cover 192 (see FIG. 4), similar to the cover attachment member 124 of the first base 120.

  The table 150 is fixed to a screw hole (not shown) formed in the end surface portion 141a of the rotating shaft member 140 through screws 156 through a plurality of perforations 153 (see FIG. 2A). . When the table 150 is fixed to the rotating shaft member 140, the table 150 is attached so that the cover attaching member 155 protrudes to the installation surface side (vertical direction lower side). Further, the table 150 is attached so that the surface on the installation surface side (vertical direction lower side) of the sheet metal 151 abuts on the rotating portion 160 described above. Since the table 150 is supported by the rotation unit 160, the table 150 can be rotated with respect to the fixed unit 110. Further, since the rotation shaft member 140 is fixed to the table 150, the rotation shaft member 140 acts as a rotation shaft for relative rotation. As described above, since the rotation shaft member 140 is guided by the center guide 133, the table 150 is restricted from moving in directions other than the relative rotation direction.

  The rotating shaft member 140 is fixed to the table 150, and the table 150 is supported by the rotating portion 160. Therefore, the rotating shaft member 140 is slightly lifted from the cable cover member 126 (see FIG. 2C). Therefore, a frictional force is not generated between the rotation shaft member 140 and the cable cover member 126, and the rotation of the table 150 is not hindered. Moreover, the table 150 mounts a transaction apparatus (refer FIG. 4) etc. in the surface on the opposite side (vertical direction upper side) with respect to the installation surface side of the sheet metal 151, and the some perforation 154 (refer FIG. 2 (a)). The transaction apparatus is fixed by a plurality of fixtures 194 (see FIG. 4). Further, the center guide 133 and the rotary shaft member 140 are formed in a cylindrical shape, and the perforation 152 (see FIG. 2A) is formed in the approximate center of the table 150. A power cable or the like can be wired in the hollow portion. Therefore, even when the transaction apparatus is rotated as the table 150 is rotated, the cable and the like are not entangled.

  FIG. 3 is an AA arrow view of the turntable 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3A shows a state where the table 150 is positioned by the stationary mechanism 170 (hereinafter simply referred to as “locked state” unless otherwise specified), and FIG. 3B shows a table by the stationary mechanism 170. FIG. 5 is a view showing a state in which the positioning of 150 is released and the table 150 is rotated (hereinafter simply referred to as “released state” unless otherwise specified). In this figure, the front side toward the paper surface is the lower side in the vertical direction (the installation surface 200 (see FIG. 4) side).

  As described above, the stationary mechanism 170 is disposed in the fixed portion 110 (see FIG. 1), and contacts the rotating shaft member 140 to position the table 150. In the present embodiment, the stationary mechanism 170 is attached to the installation surface side (vertical direction lower side) of the sheet metal 132 of the second base 130. The stationary mechanism 170 can be attached to the second base 130 and floated from the installation surface 200 (see FIG. 4), for example, to reduce the influence of water in rain water, cleaning, etc. Can be prevented. Note that the stationary mechanism 170 may be attached to the first base 120.

  The stationary mechanism 170 includes a lock shaft 171 as an insertion portion that is inserted into a hole 143 formed in the engagement portion 142 of the rotation shaft member 140. Further, the stationary mechanism 170 includes a push shaft 172 that slides the lock shaft 171, a link 173 that connects the lock shaft 171 and the push shaft 172, a link bracket 174 that attaches the push shaft 172 and the like to the sheet metal 132, and the lock shaft 171. And a shaft bracket 175 for guiding the slide.

  The push shaft 172 is a substantially cylindrical shaft, and receives a pressing operation from the outside by, for example, an attendant or the like when the stationary mechanism 170 is in a locked state (see FIG. 3A). The push shaft 172 is attached to the link bracket 174 in a state of penetrating through the hollow of the spring 172a that is urged in the direction of pushing back outward when the stationary mechanism 170 is in the released state (see FIG. 3B). The link bracket 174 is a processed sheet metal, and is fixed to the sheet metal 132 of the second base 130 by screws including the push shaft 172, the lock shaft 171 and the like.

  The lock shaft 171 is a substantially cylindrical shaft, and is attached to the link bracket 174 so as to pass through the hollow of the spring 171 a that biases in the direction of the rotating shaft member 140. The lock shaft 171 is slid to a position where the lock shaft 171 is released from the hole 143 formed in the engaging portion 142 via the link 173 by a pressing operation by the push shaft 172 when the stationary mechanism 170 is in a locked state (see FIG. 3A). Configured to be able to.

  The link 173 is a processed sheet metal, and converts the movement in the direction to be pushed inward of the push shaft 172 into the movement in the direction away from the rotation shaft member 140 of the lock shaft 171, and push operation of the push shaft 172. In response, the lock shaft 171 is slid.

  The shaft bracket 175 is a polyhedral block member in which a through hole is formed. The lock shaft 171 is inserted into the through hole, and is guided to slide in a direction away from or near to the rotation shaft member 140. The shaft bracket 175 is directly attached to the sheet metal 132 of the second base 130. The shaft bracket 175 is attached at a position where it can abut on a stopper 180 described below.

  In the locked state, the stationary mechanism 170 is engaged with the rotating shaft member 140 by the lock shaft 171 fitting into the hole 143, thereby positioning the table 150. That is, the rotation of the table 150 is restricted. From this state, when the push shaft 172 is pressed, the lock shaft 171 comes out of the hole 143 formed in the engaging portion 142 of the rotating shaft member 140 and is in a released state. Here, when the table 150 rotates, the tip of the lock shaft 171 contacts the side wall of the rotation shaft member 140 by the bias of the spring 171a. Further, when the table 150 is rotated as it is, the tip of the lock shaft 171 reaches the position of the next hole 143, and is engaged with the hole 143 by the urging force of the spring 171a to be locked again.

  The position where the table 150 is positioned depends on the position where the hole 143 is formed. In the present embodiment, as described above, it has been described that four holes 143 are provided about every 90 ° around the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft member 140. However, in the place where the turntable 100 is installed, etc. What is necessary is just to change suitably according to it.

  The stopper 180 includes a stopper member 181 that contacts the shaft bracket 175, and an attachment member 182 that fixes the stopper member 181 to the rotation shaft member 140. The attachment member 182 is fixed together with the stopper member 181 with a screw in a hole 144 (see FIG. 1B) formed in the engaging portion 142 of the rotating shaft member 140 described above. The stopper member 181 is formed of an elastic resin or the like, and is fixed so as to protrude from the outer peripheral surface of the engaging portion 142 via the attachment member 182. The stopper member 181 abuts on the shaft bracket 175 described above, thereby restricting the rotation range of the table 150. One stopper 180 is attached to each of two of the four pairs of holes 144, and restricts the rotation range of the table 150 between one stopper member 181 and the other stopper member 181.

  Note that the hole 144 (see FIG. 1B) for attaching the stopper 180 may be appropriately determined according to the place where the turntable 100 is installed, the desired rotation range, and the like. In addition, the position and number of the holes 144 (see FIG. 1B) formed may be changed as appropriate.

Even when the automatic checkout machine 1 rotates along with the rotation of the cable, the cable or the like does not get tangled.

  In addition, the weight of the coin processing apparatus 31 mentioned above is about 60 kg or more, and when the coin processed inside is included, it will be 100 kg or more. The bill processing device 32 has a weight of about 40 kg or more, the card processing device 33 has a weight of about 30 kg or more, and the ticket issuing device 50 has a weight of about 40 kg or more. Further, the weight of the casing 20 is about 170 kg or more, and the weight of the automatic checkout machine 1 excluding the turntable 100 is about 340 kg to 400 kg or more.

  Next, operations of the turntable 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention and the automatic settlement machine 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The automatic checkout machine 1 is installed in a passage where there is no staff. First, when operating the turntable 100, a lock mechanism (not shown) of the automatic checkout machine 1 is released using a key stored by an attendant, and the turntable 100 can be rotated.

  Next, when the push shaft 172 of the stationary mechanism 170 is pushed in, the link 173 causes the lock shaft 171 to come out of the hole 143 of the engaging portion 142 of the rotating shaft member 140 (the direction of arrow A shown in FIG. 3B). ) When the attendant turns the automatic checker 1 together with the table 150 with the lock shaft 171 removed, the table 150 is fastened to the turning shaft member 140 and the stationary mechanism 170 is fastened to the second base 130. Therefore, the rotation shaft member 140 can be rotated.

  Here, when turning force is applied to the table 150 in a state where the push shaft 172 of the stationary mechanism 170 is pushed, the plurality of bearings 161 of the rotating unit 160 supports the table 150, and the tip of the lock shaft 171 is the rotating shaft. Since it moves to a position along the outer peripheral surface of the member 140, the automatic checkout machine 1 can be easily rotated together with the table 150 (here, it is rotated in the direction of arrow B shown in FIG. 3B). .

  The automatic settlement machine 1 and the table 150 can be rotated up to the next hole 143 of the engaging portion 142. When moved to the position of the next hole 143 (rotation of about 90 °), springs 171a and 172a for urging the lock shaft 171 and the push shaft 172 act, and the lock shaft 171 is inserted into the hole 143. The automatic checkout machine 1 and the table 150 are positioned and stationary. In addition, rotation of the automatic checkout machine 1 and the table 150 is restricted from being rotated more than necessary by the stopper member 181 of the stopper 180 coming into contact with the shaft bracket 175.

  Note that the positions of the plurality of holes 143 can be appropriately changed according to the specifications as described above, and it is also possible to fill some holes 143 and prevent the lock shaft 171 from being inserted. In this case, when the table 150 is rotated to a position where the clerk can easily work and the application of the rotational force is stopped, the lock shaft 171 obtains the urging force of the spring 171a and contacts the side wall of the rotation shaft member 140. Due to the frictional force and the weight of the automatic checkout machine 1, even when the tip of the lock shaft 171 reaches the next hole 143, it can be stopped to such an extent that minor operations can be performed. However, when a non-trivial operation such as coin collection is performed, it is preferable to rotate until the lock shaft 171 is inserted into the next hole 143 as described above in consideration of the safety of the staff. .

   The clerk moves the automatic checkout machine 1 and the table 150 to a desired position and then stops them, and performs maintenance work including cash management such as coin recovery and deadline of the safe unit 70 and maintenance of the ticket issuing device 50, etc. Do the work. Upon completion of the work, the clerk performs the pushing operation of the push shaft 172 again, and turns the automatic checkout machine 1 and the table 150 in the reverse direction (the reverse direction of the arrow B shown in FIG. 3B) performed previously. Move. When the table is rotated to a fixed position, springs 171a and 172a for urging the lock shaft 171 and the push shaft 172 act, respectively, and the lock shaft 171 is inserted into the original hole 143 to be in a stationary state. In this state, by locking the key released first, the lock mechanism (not shown) of the automatic checkout machine 1 works and the work is completed.

  According to the turntable 100 and the automatic settlement machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention described above, the rotation shaft of the table 150 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the rotation shaft member 140 positioned at the center of rotation. Since the lock shaft 171 is inserted into the formed hole 143 and positioned, it is possible to provide the turntable 100 and the automatic checkout machine 1 that can be surely stopped at a predetermined position with a simple configuration. Further, for example, by pressing the automatic settlement machine from the side, it is possible to make the turntable 100 and the automatic settlement machine 1 that save space compared to a device that restricts the rotation of the table and the automatic settlement machine. Further, for example, a device that restricts the rotation of the table and the automatic checkout machine by passing a pin through the peripheral portion of the table that rotates with respect to the fixed portion and engaging the fixed portion with the table itself. In comparison, even if the weight of the device placed on the turntable 100 is increased, it is possible to achieve a configuration that is sufficiently strong against an impact when stopping the rotation. Further, by forming a hole into which the lock shaft 171 is inserted in a member (which corresponds to the rotating shaft member 140 in the present embodiment) that becomes the rotation center of the existing turntable, it is possible to cope with relatively simple processing. Can do.

  Furthermore, according to the turntable 100 and the automatic settlement machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention described above, the rotating shaft member 140 serves as a rotating shaft, and the plurality of bearings 161 constituting the rotating portion 160 are provided. Since the table 150 is rotated and supported, the configuration can be simplified. Moreover, since the turntable 100 and the automatic checkout machine 1 are provided with the stopper 180 fixed to the rotating shaft member 140, the range of rotation can be arbitrarily determined, and the device is destroyed by rotating too much. In addition, it is possible to cope with the rotation shaft member 140 by simple processing.
