The preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings. Note that in this specification and the drawings, components having substantially the same functional configuration are designated by the same reference numerals to avoid redundant description.

<<1. Overview of cash processing device>>
An embodiment of the present invention relates to a cash processing device that can prevent damage to a key. First, an overview of the cash processing device will be described with reference to Figs. 1, 2A and 2B.

<1.1. Configuration example of cash processing device>
1 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of the appearance of a cash processing device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The cash processing device 1 has a housing 2 and a banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 as a unit storage device, and is a device that processes various media such as paper sheets, coins, and cards. The media include, for example, banknotes, coins, passbooks, coupons such as gift certificates, tickets, and slips.

The cash processing device 1 according to this embodiment may be, for example, an automated teller machine (ATM). In this case, the cash processing device 1 is installed in, for example, a financial institution and used in cash-related transactions such as deposit and withdrawal processes carried out with customers. Note that in the following explanation, an example in which the cash processing device 1 is an automated teller machine will be mainly explained, but the cash processing device 1 according to this embodiment is not limited to an automated teller machine.

For example, the cash processing device 1 may be a checkout machine operated by a cashier at a checkout counter (a so-called cash register) of a retail store such as a supermarket or convenience store when a customer pays for products that he or she wishes to purchase.

Specifically, the cash processing device 1 may be a change machine installed in a retail store or the like. The change machine here may be a semi-self-service change machine operated by a customer in a retail store or the like, or a self-service change machine.

As shown in FIG. 1, the side of the cash processing device 1 that the customer faces is defined as the front side, and the opposite side as the rear side, and the left and right sides as viewed from a customer facing the front side are defined as the left and right sides, respectively, and further, the top and bottom as viewed from a customer facing the front side are defined as the upper side and lower side, respectively, for explanation.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cash processing device 1 is composed mainly of a box-shaped housing 2. A customer service unit 3 is provided at the front of the housing 2, in a position that allows a customer to easily insert media (e.g., banknotes) and operate the touch panel while facing the device.

(Customer Service Department 3)
The customer service unit 3 carries out transactions with customers using various media such as cash, cards, and bankbooks, and receives notification of transaction-related information or operation instructions. The customer service unit 3 has, for example, a card slot 4, a cash slot 5, an operation display unit 6, a numeric keypad 7, and a receipt issuing slot 8.

The card slot 4 is an opening through which various cards such as cash cards are inserted or ejected. A card processing unit (not shown) is provided at the back of the card slot 4. The card processing unit reads account numbers and other information magnetically recorded on various cards.

The deposit/withdrawal port 5 is the portion through which customers insert banknotes to be deposited and through which banknotes to be withdrawn to customers are ejected. The deposit/withdrawal port 5 is opened or closed by driving a shutter.

The operation display unit 6 functions as a display unit that displays operation screens related to various transactions, and as an operation unit that accepts input related to various transactions, such as the selection of the type of transaction, a PIN number, and the transaction amount.

The display function is realized, for example, by a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display device, a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) device, or an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) device.

The input function is realized, for example, by a touch panel, keyboard, or mouse.

In FIG. 1, the cash processing device 1 has a configuration in which the functions of the display unit and the operation unit are integrated, but the functions of the display unit and the operation unit may be separate.

The numeric keypad 7 is a physical key that accepts input of numbers from "0" to "9" and is used when inputting a PIN number, transaction amount, etc.

The receipt issuing port 8 is a section that issues a receipt with transaction details and other information printed on it when the transaction process is completed. At the back of the receipt issuing port 8, there is a receipt processing section (not shown) that prints the transaction details and other information on the receipt.

Inside the housing 2, there is a main control unit 9 that controls the overall operation of the cash processing device 1, and a banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 that performs various processes related to banknotes.

(Main control unit 9)
The main control unit 9 is composed mainly of a CPU (Central Processing Unit) not shown, and performs various processes such as deposit and withdrawal processes by reading and executing predetermined programs from a ROM (Read Only Memory), flash memory, etc. not shown.

The main control unit 9 also has an internal memory unit consisting of a RAM (Random Access Memory), a hard disk drive, flash memory, etc., and stores various information in this memory unit.

(Banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 10)
The banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 incorporates a plurality of sections that perform various processes relating to banknotes. The banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 is configured by a block including at least one banknote cassette that stores banknotes.

For example, the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 10 may be composed of an upper block and a lower block. In this case, the upper block may be configured in a portion above approximately the center of the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 10 in the vertical direction, and the lower block may be configured below the upper block of the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 10. However, for ease of explanation, this specification will mainly describe an example in which the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 10 is composed of one block (component).

Figures 2A and 2B are schematic diagrams showing the opening and closing of the rear door 2R in the cash processing device 1. As shown in Figure 2B, the housing 2 of the cash processing device 1 has a large opening at the rear. The housing 2 is provided with a rear door 2R that can be opened and closed to open or close this open portion. In addition, the rear door 2R is provided with a first lock L1, and the rear door 2R is locked and unlocked by a corresponding first key K1.

In other words, as shown in FIG. 2A, if the rear door 2R is closed and the first lock L1 is locked, the housing 2 can restrict access to the inside by keeping the rear door 2R closed.

On the other hand, when the first key K1 is inserted into the first lock L1 and the rear door 2R is unlocked, the rear door 2R of the housing 2 can be opened as shown in FIG. 2B, thereby allowing access to the inside.

<1.2. Storage and withdrawal of banknote deposit and withdrawal machine>
In order to restrict withdrawal of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 and to secure the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10, a lock bracket 20 having a second lock L2 is provided on the housing 2 as shown in Fig. 2B. The lock bracket 20 is an example of a first bracket.

For example, the second lock L2 is a locking mechanism that controls the restriction on withdrawal of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10, and is provided with a keyhole. The keyhole of the second lock L2 is formed on the surface of the lock bracket 20 on the withdrawal direction side of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 (the rear side shown in FIG. 2B). Note that the locking mechanism here is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, an electromagnetic locking mechanism that electrically controls the restriction on withdrawal of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10.

The second lock L2 of the lock bracket 20 is locked or unlocked by the second key K2 corresponding to the second lock L2. When the second lock L2 is unlocked, the locking mechanism is released and the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 can be pulled out of the housing 2.

On the other hand, when the second lock L2 is locked, the locking mechanism is not released and the withdrawal of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 from the housing 2 is restricted. Here, with reference to FIG. 3, an example of the configuration of the second key K2 used to lock and unlock the second lock L2 will be described.

Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of the second key K2 according to this embodiment. The second key K2 may have a tag T attached thereto, as shown in Figure 3. The tag T is attached, for example, for the purpose of key management. In addition, each key of multiple devices has a different dedicated tag T attached thereto for each device operator.

The cash processing device 1 according to this embodiment is characterized by preventing damage to the second key K2 having a tag T as shown in FIG. 3. Below, we will sequentially explain the causes of damage that may occur to the second key K2 having such a tag T and the mechanism for preventing damage to the second key K2 due to these causes.

Note that, although the tag T shown in FIG. 3 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, the shape of the tag T is not limited to a rectangular parallelepiped. The tag T according to this embodiment may have any shape, for example, a cube or a sphere.

Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing the storage and withdrawal of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10. The banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 is attached to a banknote deposit and withdrawal machine housing 11 that forms the outer periphery of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 via a slide rail 16 that can slide in the front-rear direction.

For this reason, when the rear door 2R of the housing 2 is open (FIG. 2B), the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 10 moves (slides) in the front-to-rear direction relative to the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine housing 11, and is stored within the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine housing 11 or is pulled out to the rear of the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine housing 11.

2B, the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine housing 11 is provided with a second lock L2, which is locked or unlocked by a second key K2. Therefore, when the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 10 is stored in the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine housing 11, the second lock L2 can be unlocked by the second key K2 to allow the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 10 to be withdrawn from within the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine housing 11. Here, with reference to FIGS. 5, 6A, and 6B, causes of damage to the second key K2 that may occur in the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 15 according to the comparative example will be described.

(Identifying issues)
5 is an example of a perspective view of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 15 according to the comparative example when it is being stored. Here, when the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 15 is being stored does not mean a state in which the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 15 is completely stored in the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine housing 11, but means a point in time when the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 15 is being stored in the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine housing 11.

For example, the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 15 has a banknote deposit/withdrawal machine main body 32 and a bracket 30. As shown in FIG. 5, the bracket 30 is provided on a side surface 32a of the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine main body 32, and is located below the lock bracket 20 when the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 15 is stored in the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine housing 11. In addition, the bracket 30 has, for example, a lock (not shown) for restricting the attachment or removal of a banknote cassette provided in the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 15.

For example, an administrator can remove the banknote cassette from the top of the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 15 by pulling the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 15 completely out of the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine housing 11 and unlocking a lock (not shown) on the bracket 30.

When storing the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 15, the administrator may insert the second key K2 into the keyhole of the second lock L2 of the lock bracket 20 to unlock it, and then move (slide) the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 15 in the storage direction SD.

At this time, the tag T of the second key K2 inserted into the keyhole of the second lock L2 could become caught between the lock bracket 20 and the bracket 30 of the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 15, and a load in the storage direction SD could be applied, causing the second key K2 to be damaged.

Figures 6A and 6B are schematic diagrams showing the relative positions of the bracket 30 of the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 15, the lock bracket 20 of the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine housing 11, and the second key K2 to which the tag T is attached when the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 15 according to the comparative example is stored.

When the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 15 is stored with the second key K2 inserted in the keyhole of the second lock L2 of the lock bracket 20, the tag T may become caught between the lock bracket 20 and the bracket 30, as shown in FIG. 6A.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 15 is stored facing the storage direction SD, the tag T may come into contact with the upper end E of the surface of the bracket 30 facing the storage direction SD. Here, when the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 15 is further stored facing the storage direction SD, the tag T that has come into contact with the upper end E of the bracket 30 becomes the force point, and rotates from the position of the tag T shown by the solid line in FIG. 6 toward the rotation direction KR1.

Then, the tag T rotated in the rotation direction KR1 comes into contact with the lower end F below the keyhole in the lock bracket 20 at the position of the tag T shown in the two-dot chain line in FIG. 6B. When the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 15 is further stored in the storage direction SD, the tag T that has come into contact with the lower end F of the lock bracket 20 in this way applies a load to the second key K2 in the rotation direction KR2, with the upper end E of the bracket 30 as the force point and the lower end F of the lock bracket 20 as the fulcrum. As a result, there was a risk that the second key K2 would be deformed from the position of the second key K2 shown in FIG. 6B by the solid line to the position of the second key K2 shown in FIG. 6B by the two-dot chain line.

The banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 according to this embodiment is characterized by having a shape that reduces the possibility of the tag T being caught when storing the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10, and by preventing the second key K2 from being damaged by this shape. Next, with reference to Figures 7 to 9B, the shape of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 according to this embodiment that prevents the tag T from being caught will be sequentially described.

<<2. Configuration Example of the Banknote Deposit and Dispensing Machine 10 According to the Present Embodiment>>
7 is a perspective view of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 according to this embodiment when it is stored. The banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 according to this embodiment differs from the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 15 according to the comparative example in that an ingenious design is made in the shape of the bracket 40 provided on the side surface 42A of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine main body 42. That is, the bracket 40 provided in the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 according to this embodiment has a different shape from the bracket 30 provided in the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 15 according to the comparative example. The bracket 40 provided in the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 is an example of a second bracket.

The bracket 40 according to this embodiment is characterized in that the upper end 45 of the bracket 40 on the storage direction SD side of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 is inclined with respect to the side surface 42A of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine main body 42. The inclined shape of the bracket 40 will be described in detail with reference to Figures 8A to 8C, which are views from arrows A, B, and C shown in Figure 7. The banknote deposit and withdrawal machine main body 42 is an example of a unit.

Figure 8A is a view taken along the line A in Figure 7. Figure 8B is a view taken along the line B in Figure 7. Figure 8C is a view taken along the line C in Figure 7.

First, the surface of the bracket 40 on the side of the storage direction SD of the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 10 may be a first inclined surface 47 inclined with respect to the side surface 42A of the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine main body 42. For example, as shown in FIG. 8B, the first inclined surface 47 may be formed so that one end 47A on the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine main body 42 side is located closer to the storage direction of the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 10 than the opposite end 47B on the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine main body 42 side.

The upper surface of the bracket 40 may be a second inclined surface 48 that is inclined with respect to the side surface 42A of the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine main body 42. For example, the second inclined surface 48 may be formed so that one end 48A on the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine main body 42 side is located higher than the opposite end 48B on the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine main body 42 side.

It is preferable that the first inclined surface 47 and the second inclined surface 48 have a gentle incline from the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine main body 42 toward the side surface 40A of the bracket 40, but this is not limited to this example.

Furthermore, the shapes of the first slope 47 and the second slope 48 are not limited to those shown in Figures 8A to 8C. Although Figures 8A to 8C show an example in which the first slope 47 and the second slope 48 are each a flat slope, the first slope 47 and the second slope 48 may be, for example, a curved slope.

Figures 9A and 9B are schematic diagrams showing the relative positions of the bracket 40 of the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 10, the lock bracket 20 of the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine housing 11, and the second key K2 to which the tag T is attached when the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 10 according to this embodiment is stored.

By forming the first inclined surface 47 and the second inclined surface 48 on the bracket 40 as described above, it is possible to prevent the tag T from being caught between the lock bracket 20 and the bracket 40.

When storing the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10, first, the tag T attached to the second key K2 inserted into the keyhole of the second lock L2 is positioned on the storage direction SD side of the bracket 40, and the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 is stored facing the storage direction SD.

When the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 is stored in the storage direction SD, the tag T that comes into contact with the bracket 40 rotates from the position of the bracket 40 indicated by the solid line in FIG. 9A to the position of the bracket 40 indicated by the two-dot chain line, and slides along the slope of the first slope 47. The tag T that slides along the slope of the first slope 47 in this way moves toward the direction S of the side surface 40A of the bracket 40. As a result, the tag T is less likely to become caught between the lock bracket 20 and the bracket 40, and damage to the second key K2 is less likely to occur.

As shown in FIG. 9B, when the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 is further stored in the storage direction SD, the tag T comes into contact with the second inclined surface 48 of the bracket 40. The tag T then slides along the second inclined surface 48, reducing the possibility of the tag T being caught in the bracket 40. As a result, the possibility of the tag T being caught between the lock bracket 20 and the bracket 40 is further reduced until the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 is completely stored in the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine housing 11, making it possible to prevent damage (deformation) of the second key K2.

<<3. Supplementary Information>>
Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to such an example. It is clear that a person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains can conceive of various modified or altered examples within the scope of the technical ideas described in the claims, and it is understood that these also naturally belong to the technical scope of the present invention.

For example, an example has been described in which a unit storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention is provided in a cash processing device 1, but a unit storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention may be provided in any device that is equipped with a removable unit.

The bracket 40 may also have a curved shape in which the upper end 45 on the storage direction side of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 bulges outward to form a convex shape. This allows the tag T to slide along the curved shape of the bracket 40 when the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 is stored in the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine housing 11, thereby reducing the possibility of the tag T being caught between the lock bracket 20 and the bracket 40.

In addition, although an example in which both the first inclined surface 47 and the second inclined surface 48 are formed on the bracket 40 according to this embodiment has been described, the bracket 40 according to this embodiment may be formed with only either the first inclined surface 47 or the second inclined surface 48.

In addition, in Figures 8A to 8C, an example has been described in which the bracket 40 according to this embodiment has a side 40A that is parallel to the side 42A of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine body 42, but the side 40A of the bracket 40 does not have to be parallel to the side 42A of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine body 42. In addition, the bracket 40 does not necessarily have to have a side 40A, and for example, the first inclined surface 47 may be formed so as to reach the surface on the withdrawal direction side of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10.

In addition, the bracket 40 and the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine body 42 according to this embodiment may be integrally formed, or the bracket 40 may be attached to the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine body 42.

The portion having the inclined shape may be formed as a separate member from the other portions of the bracket 40. Alternatively, the portion having the inclined shape may be integrally formed with the other portions of the bracket 40.
