Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for suppressing theft by attaching ink to cash in an automatic transaction apparatus such as an automatic teller machine or an automatic teller machine that handles cash.

  In general, an automatic transaction device such as an automatic teller machine or an automatic teller machine is arranged in a convenience store or a financial institution, and the automatic transaction device receives, counts and stores bills received by customers. A cash storage device such as a banknote cassette or banknote stacker for storing or paying out to the customer from stored cash is incorporated.

  In recent years, with the aim of this cash, there has been an increase in theft of destroying a cash storage device of an automatic transaction apparatus using a heavy machine such as a bulldozer or a power shovel to steal cash, or taking away the automatic transaction apparatus as it is.

  Therefore, as a measure to prevent theft of banknotes stored in this cash storage device, crime prevention measures are taken to detect abnormal acts on the automatic transaction device and inject ink into the gaps of the banknotes in the cash storage device to make them dirty. Yes.

  FIG. 6 is a configuration diagram of the cash storage apparatus 11 of the conventional automatic transaction apparatus provided with the above crime prevention measures. As shown in the figure, the conventional cash storage device 11 is connected to a pressing plate 13 and guides the pressing plate 13 in the vertical direction (arrow F and G directions), and the left and right belts 14. Are connected to the shaft 15 to synchronize their operations, the gear 16 fixed to the shaft 15, the pressing plate holding plate 21 that stops the rotation of the gear 16, the ink storage unit 17, and the ink ejection nozzle 18. An ink pipe 19 to be connected is provided.

  With the above configuration, the conventional cash storage apparatus 11 transmits an activation signal to the gas generation unit 22 of the ink storage unit 17 by a control unit (not shown) when an abnormal operation is detected by a sensor (not shown) or the like provided in the device.

  Then, the gas generating unit 22 receives a signal from the control unit, generates a gas by a chemical reaction, pushes the ink pushing plate 23 by the pressure of the generated gas, pushes the ink 24, and opens the ink pipe 19 as indicated by an arrow B. Then, the bill 12 is ejected from the ejection hole of the ink ejection nozzle 18 as indicated by an arrow C.

  At this time, the pressure of the pressed ink 24 is used to unlock the pressing plate holding plate 21, and the ink 24 is inserted into the gap of the bill 12 generated when the pressing plate 13 and the bill 12 are lowered as shown by the arrow G by gravity. There is a technique for suppressing theft by fouling the banknote 12 with a small amount of ink 24 (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2006-338218 A

  However, in the above-described conventional cash storage device 11, a gap is created between the bills 12 using the weight of the pressing plate 13 and the bills 12, and therefore, when the cash storage device 11 is laid down, a destructive action is performed. There is a problem that no gap is generated in the banknote 12 on the pressing plate 13 and ink is jetted only on the end of the banknote 12 and a sufficient antitheft effect cannot be obtained.

  The present invention adopts the following configuration in order to solve the above-described problems. That is, in a cash storage device that includes an ink ejecting nozzle and suppresses theft by attaching ink to cash loaded on the pressing plate, the ink ejecting nozzle has a separating plate for separating the cash at an upper portion thereof. An ejection hole is provided on the lower side of the separating plate, and an expandable pipe that carries the ink to the ejection hole is provided on the lower side, and slides upward from the lower side of the pressing plate by pressure guided by a slide shaft to push out the ink. I tried to do it.

  According to the cash processing apparatus of the present invention, since it is configured as described above, even if the cash storage apparatus is laid sideways and a vandalism is performed, the ink is efficiently used in the gap between the banknotes in the cash storage apparatus. Can adhere well.
