Description

  The present invention relates to an interlock device that protects a device from counter electromotive force output from, for example, driving means in the device, and a paper sheet handling device using the interlock device.

  Conventionally, an interlock mechanism is used in an apparatus having a drive unit that is physically driven, such as a conveyance unit that conveys an object. This interlock mechanism includes, for example, a cover provided in a drawer portion of an internal module of the apparatus, and a switch that interlocks opening and closing of the cover and ON / OFF. It is configured to turn on / off the connection with the drive power supply of the motor. As a result, even if the device is operating, if the cover is opened and the internal module is pulled out of the device body, the switch is turned off and the drive voltage is not applied to the motor, and the drive unit is exposed. Driving in the state can be prevented.

In addition, at both ends of the DC motor or stepping motor used in the drive unit, when switching from the operating state to the stopped state, or when performing pulse width modulation (hereinafter referred to as PWM) control, the switching transistor is turned off from the ON state. Back electromotive force is generated when transitioning to a state.
In the case of a motor driving H-bridge circuit used in a DC motor or a bipolar stepping motor, a diode is arranged in parallel with each switching transistor in order to release (regenerate) energy from the back electromotive force. Yes. As a result, the back electromotive force can be released in the loop of the diode provided in the opposite phase and the operating transistor.
In the case of a unipolar stepping motor, the back electromotive force is released via the power source.

As described above, as a method of reducing the back electromotive force of the DC motor driven by the motor driving H-bridge circuit or the stepping motor driven by bipolar, the stepping motor driving that controls the transistors and FETs of the motor driving H-bridge at independent timings. A control device has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).
According to this stepping motor drive control device, power is saved by shortening the time for which power is directly supplied from the power source to the motor as much as possible, and when the phase of the pulse motor is switched, it is stored in the pulse motor coil. It is said that back electromotive force can be reduced by consuming as much power as possible.

  On the other hand, when the stepping motor drive control device is employed in the interlock mechanism described above, the burnout problem described below occurs when the operator accidentally operates the drive unit with the internal module pulled out from the device. Arise.

  In the interlock mechanism, since the drawer of the internal module is connected to ON / OFF of the switch of the motor and the drive power source of the motor, the switch is turned off when the internal module is pulled out.

  In the case of a unipolar stepping motor, if the operator operates the drive unit with this switch turned off, the motor of the drive unit and the drive power supply are shut off, so that the back electromotive force generated in the motor is released. I can't. For this reason, the withstand voltage of the transistor driving the stepping motor is exceeded by the generated counter electromotive force, and the transistor is burned out.

  In the case of a DC motor or bipolar stepping motor, the transistor that releases the counter electromotive force is not turned on because the switch is OFF, so the circuit that releases the counter electromotive force is cut off and the motor counter electromotive force is released. I can't. For this reason, the motor drive circuit for driving the motor burns out in the same manner as the above-described unipolar stepping motor.

  Further, when the motor and the drive power supply are connected regardless of the state of the drawer portion of the internal module and the back electromotive force is released via the power supply, the back electromotive force may be generated for a long time. In other words, while the internal module is being pulled out, the system on the main body side does not operate the drive unit on the module side, so that the back electromotive force is generated from the motor of the drive unit for a long time while the operator operates the drive unit. appear.

When the back electromotive force is generated for such a long time, the circuit of the drive power source that drives the motor malfunctions, and there may be a case where it cannot respond normally to the signal received from the system on the main body side. In this case, the system on the main body side may not obtain a normal response signal from the internal module and may stop the system.

  The ATM 1 is provided with a rear opening / closing door 30 that opens and closes as an opening / closing portion on the rear surface side of the main body, and when the rear opening / closing door 30 is in an open state, the internal modules such as the banknote depositing / dispensing mechanism portion 7 are moved backward. A drawer mechanism that allows drawers is provided.

  The banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism 7 that is one of the internal modules of the ATM 1 is electrically connected to the ATM 1 by a long cable (not shown). For this reason, the state where the cable was connected can be maintained even when the banknote depositing / dispensing mechanism 7 is pulled out from the ATM 1. Accordingly, the ATM 1 transmits a signal to the banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism section 7 and receives a response signal from the banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism section 7 regardless of whether the banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism section 7 is set or withdrawn. Can be received.

  The banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism unit 7 is provided with a withdrawal detection sensor 31 as a detecting means that operates when the bill is withdrawn backward to detect withdrawal.

  Various sensors (not shown) are provided in the banknote depositing / dispensing mechanism section 7, and a control section provided on the circuit board B receives output signals from these sensors, and a motor M1 as a driving means. , M2 and M3 are driven. The transport unit 33 is provided with a belt interlocking with the rotation of the motors M1, M2, and M3, and transports banknotes between the presenter unit, the recovery cartridge 34, and the denomination cartridge 35 by the belt.

  Various sensors and actuators are also provided in the denomination cartridge 35, and the control unit of the circuit board B receives output signals from these sensors and drives the motors M4 and M5 which are driving means. . The denomination cartridge 35 has a structure in which a horizontal support base is vertically movable in an internal storage space, and a plurality of banknotes are stacked in the vertical direction above the support base. Yes. The support base is suspended by a spring and has a structure that moves up and down by a belt that is rotated by the driving force of the motors M4 and M5. With this configuration, the denomination cartridge 35 can feed out banknotes in the storage space one by one, and can store banknotes one by one in the storage space from above.

  FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a circuit configuration of an interlock circuit 60 as an interlock device that releases back electromotive force. The interlock circuit 60 is a circuit provided in the bill deposit / withdrawal mechanism unit 7.

  In the interlock circuit 60, a positive electrode of the power source V, a motor power switch 62, a motor 67 as a driving means, a driver circuit 68, and a negative electrode of the power source V are connected in series in this order. The other motor circuit 69 is connected in parallel.

  Here, the motor 67 may be all or part of the motors M1 to M5 (see FIG. 5) described above, but in this embodiment, the motor 67 is all of the motors M1 to M5. The driver circuit 68 is a circuit that controls driving of the motor 67.

  At the subsequent stage of the motor power switch 62, a resistor 63 and a counter electromotive force regeneration driver 64 are connected in this order in parallel with the motor 67 and the driver circuit 68. The resistor 63 and the counter electromotive force regeneration driver 64 provide the counter electromotive force to the ground (the negative electrode of the power supply V) through the resistor 63 when the motor power switch 62 is OFF and the motor 67 generates a counter electromotive force. It functions as a regenerative circuit 70 that escapes.

  A motor drive delay circuit 61 as a delay means at the time of attachment is connected to a terminal for switching control of the motor power switch 62, and a drawer detection sensor 31 is connected to the front stage of the motor drive delay circuit 61. The motor drive delay circuit 61 is a circuit that delays the timing until receiving the detection signal from the drawer detection sensor 31 and controlling the ON / OFF of the motor power switch 62, and the bill deposit / withdrawal mechanism unit 7 is mainly ATM1. Delay when set to.

A back electromotive force delay circuit 66 is connected to the terminal for on / off switching control of the back electromotive force regenerative driver 64 as a take-out delay means. An inverting element 65 that inverts the logic is connected to the preceding stage of the back electromotive force delay circuit 66, and the drawer detection sensor 31 is connected to the preceding stage of the inverting element 65. The drawer detection sensor 31 and the reversing element 65 function as switching means for switching ON / OFF of the back electromotive force regeneration driver 64 and OFF / ON of the motor power switch 62. By this switching means, the ON / OFF states of the back electromotive force regeneration driver 64 and the motor power switch 62 can be reversed (one is ON and the other is OFF), which is ON (or OFF). Or can be switched.
The back electromotive force delay circuit 66 is a circuit that delays the timing from when the detection signal inverted by the inverting element 65 is received from the drawer detection sensor 31 until the back electromotive force regenerative driver 64 is switched on / off. When the banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism 7 is taken out from the ATM 1, it is delayed.

  FIG. 7 shows a timing chart in which the back electromotive force delay circuit 66 is turned on when the banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism unit 7 is pulled out, and FIG. 8 shows that the motor drive delay circuit 61 is turned on when the banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism unit 7 is set. An operation timing chart is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism 7 is pulled out and the withdrawal detection sensor 31 detects the withdrawal of the banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism 7 (timing T0), the hardware constituting the back electromotive force delay circuit 66 is used. After a predetermined regeneration ON delay time L2, the counter electromotive force delay circuit 66 that permits the counter electromotive force distribution operation is turned on, thereby turning on the counter electromotive force regeneration driver 64 of the counter electromotive force regeneration circuit 70.

  Here, the timing T3 at which the motor drive delay circuit 61 is turned off is after the drive OFF delay time L1 has elapsed. However, since the timing is earlier than the timing T4 at which the back electromotive force delay circuit 66 is turned on, there is a particular problem. Does not occur.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism unit 7 is set and the set of the banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism unit 7 is detected by the drawer detection sensor 31 (timing T <b> 0), it is determined by the hardware constituting the motor drive delay circuit 61. After the drive ON delay time L4 as the attachment delay time elapses, the motor drive delay circuit 61 that permits the power supply to the motor 67 is turned on, thereby turning on the motor power switch 62.

  Here, the timing T1 at which the back electromotive force delay circuit 66 is turned off is after the regenerative OFF delay time L3 has elapsed. However, since this timing is earlier than the timing T2 at which the motor drive delay circuit 61 is turned on, there is a particular problem. Does not occur.

  Thus, each of the delay times L1 to L4 when the banknote depositing / withdrawing mechanism unit 7 is pulled out from the ATM 1 and when it is set has the shortest regeneration OFF delay time L3, the drive ON delay time L4, the drive OFF delay time L1, and The regeneration ON delay time L2 is increased in this order.

  Then, at the timing T4 when the longest regeneration ON delay time L2 has elapsed, the circuit board B provided in the banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism section 7 uses the drawer detection sensor 31 (or another drawer detection sensor) to issue the banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism section. Since it is earlier than the drive start timing T5 (for example, the timing after 1 mm from the detection of the set) as the drive start time for executing the drive of the motor 67 and the like after detecting that 7 is set in ATM1, the circuit The substrate B can control the motor 67 and the like in the conventional manner.

  In addition, the regeneration ON delay time L2 and the drive ON delay time L4 are set longer than the lower limit of the through current time through which the through current flows, thereby preventing the through current from flowing.

  The delay circuit (61, 66) not only delays when turning on but also delays when turning off. By configuring the delay circuit as described above, the motor power switch 62 is completely turned off when being pulled out. The ON delay by the back electromotive force delay circuit 66 is delayed more than the time, and the ON delay by the motor drive delay circuit 61 is delayed more than the time when the back electromotive force regeneration driver 64 is completely OFF at the time of setting.

  Due to the configuration and operation described above, the interlock circuit 60 has the regenerative circuit 70 turned on even if a counter electromotive force is generated in the motor 67 in a state where the banknote depositing / dispensing mechanism unit 7 is pulled out from the ATM 1. Thus, it is possible to prevent the electronic elements of the circuit board B and the power source V from being burned out and the malfunction of the circuit board B and the power source V from the counter electromotive force.

  That is, in the banknote depositing / dispensing mechanism unit 7, the belt or the like constituting the transport unit 33 is exposed at the opening 32, and if the exposed belt or the like is mistakenly operated by an attendant, the motor 67 (in conjunction with the belt) The counter electromotive force is generated from any one of the motors M <b> 1 to M <b> 3, which can be relieved to the ground by the regenerative circuit 70.

  In addition, when a staff member who replaces the denomination cartridge 35 accidentally drops the denomination cartridge 35 from a high position, the support base moves up and down in the denomination cartridge 35 by the elastic force of the spring, The counter electromotive force is generated from the motors M4 to M5 connected to the belt that moves the support base in conjunction with each other. The regenerative circuit 70 can release the counter electromotive force to the ground. In particular, when dropped in this way, the support base moves up and down many times due to the action of the spring, and there is a possibility that back electromotive force is generated over a long period of time when this vertical movement is repeated. Can be prevented from malfunctioning in the monitoring voltage of the power supply V.

  Thus, since a malfunction of the power source V due to the counter electromotive force generated from the motor 67 and burning of electronic elements such as the circuit board B can be prevented, a signal is transmitted from the control unit 2 of the ATM 1 to the banknote depositing / dispensing mechanism unit 7. However, the bill deposit / withdrawal mechanism 7 can respond normally to this signal. Therefore, it can prevent that the system of ATM1 main body stops by not receiving a normal response from the banknote depositing / withdrawing mechanism part 7. FIG. By preventing the system from being stopped in this way, it is possible to prevent the ATM 1 from being restarted and to prevent a transaction stop time from occurring, and it is possible to prevent an attendant from making a maintenance request to the ATM 1 manufacturer as an abnormal operation.

  Moreover, while the banknote depositing / withdrawing mechanism part 7 is set in ATM1, since the regeneration circuit 70 is OFF and an electric current does not flow, it can prevent that the resistor 63 and the counter electromotive force regeneration driver 64 burn out.

  Further, when the banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism unit 7 is pulled out, the back electromotive force delay circuit 66 delays the ON of the regenerative circuit 70 (the circulation of the regenerative circuit) rather than the OFF of the motor power switch 62 (the power supply is cut off). An instantaneous through current can be prevented from flowing, and the energy efficiency of the power supply can be improved.

  When the bill deposit / withdrawal mechanism 7 is set, the motor drive delay circuit 61 delays the ON (power distribution) of the motor power switch 62 rather than the OFF of the regenerative circuit 70 (blocking of the regenerative circuit). An instantaneous through current can be prevented from flowing, and the energy efficiency of the power supply can be improved.

  In addition, for example, if a resistor is inserted in parallel to the drive power supply and the back electromotive force is released, a large through current always flows from the power supply to the resistor, causing a problem that the resistance burns out. Such a problem does not occur, and the service life of the electronic element can be extended and used for a long period of time.

In addition, this invention is not limited only to the structure of the above-mentioned embodiment, Many embodiments can be obtained.
For example, the interlock circuit 60 that releases the counter electromotive force with respect to the withdrawal and setting of the banknote depositing / dispensing mechanism unit 7 is configured to operate. 60 can be provided.
Further, not only ATM1, but also various modules in which a drive unit is provided in a module that can be attached to and removed from the main body, an interlock circuit 60 can be provided in the module.
