Description

  The present invention relates to a medium storage and a medium transaction apparatus, and is suitably applied to, for example, an automatic teller machine that handles banknotes as a medium.

  Conventionally, in an automatic teller machine used in a financial institution or the like, depending on the contents of a transaction with a customer, for example, the customer deposits cash such as banknotes and coins, and also withdraws cash to the customer. It is popular.

  As an automatic teller machine, for example, a banknote deposit / withdrawal port for receiving and receiving banknotes with a customer, a discrimination unit for discriminating the denomination, authenticity and correctness of inserted banknotes, and temporarily inserting inserted banknotes There is one having a temporary storage unit for temporarily storing and a banknote storage for storing banknotes for each denomination.

  This automatic teller machine, in a deposit transaction, when a customer inserts a banknote into a banknote deposit / withdrawal port, the inserted banknote is discriminated by a discrimination unit, and a banknote discriminated from a normal banknote is held in a temporary holding unit, The banknotes identified as not to be traded are returned to the banknote deposit / withdrawal port and returned to the customer. Subsequently, when the deposit amount is confirmed by the customer's operation instruction, the automatic teller machine re-identifies the denomination of the banknote held in the temporary holding section by the discrimination section and stores it in the banknote storage corresponding to the denomination. To do.

  In addition, in the automatic teller machine, the banknote storage is configured to be removable from the main body in order to increase the efficiency of replenishment of banknotes into the banknote storage and collection of banknotes from the banknote storage. The banknote storage can be transported alone by a staff member or maintenance worker or the like (hereinafter referred to as a worker or the like).

  As such a banknote storage, by providing a handle that can be stored, it is possible to achieve both improvement of workability during transportation by an operator and reduction of useless volume when loaded in an automatic teller machine. The thing which aimed at is proposed (for example, refer patent document 1).

  For example, a bill storage 519 shown in FIG. 19A has a shaft hole 533 formed in the vicinity of the upper ends of the left and right sides of the housing 530. The shaft hole 533 is formed in a keyhole shape when viewed from the left and right direction by a bearing portion 533A that is round and functions as a bearing, and an expansion hole portion 533B in which a part of the outer periphery of the bearing portion 533A is expanded rearward. ing.

  On the other hand, the handle 540 has a columnar rotation shaft 543 inward in the vicinity of the front end (that is, the rear end) of the arm portion 542 extended from both ends of the grip portion 541 held by an operator or the like. It is erected. In the vicinity of the distal end on the peripheral side surface of the rotation shaft 543, a retaining protrusion 544 is erected toward the rear that is the distal end direction of the arm portion 542. The handle 540 has a certain degree of rigidity and elasticity.

  In the bill storage 519, when the handle 540 is assembled to the housing 530, an external force is temporarily applied to the arm portion 542 of the handle 540 to widen the interval between the rotation shafts 543, and the rotation shaft 543 The external force is released at a position aligned with the outside of the left and right shaft holes 533. Thereby, the banknote storage 519 returns the handle 540 to its original shape and inserts the rotation shaft 543 through the shaft hole 533 as shown in FIG.

  As a result, the handle 540 of the bill storage 519 holds the grip 541 as shown in FIG. 19C, and the grip 541 is pulled up from the housing 530, and the handle 540 is gripped as shown in FIG. The handle 540 can be rotated between a sideways state in which the portion 541 is tilted so as to be close to the outer surface of the housing 530.

  In the bill storage 519, when the handle 540 stands up (FIG. 19C) and the grip portion 541 is gripped by an operator or the like, a load corresponding to the weight of the housing 530 is applied to the rotating shaft 543. . However, the handle 540 has a certain degree of rigidity, and the retaining protrusion 544 provided at the tip of the rotation shaft 543 acts, so that the rotation shaft 543 easily comes out of the shaft hole 533 of the housing 530. There is nothing.

  Moreover, since the banknote storage 519 has a certain degree of rigidity when the handle 540 is in the sideways state (FIG. 19B), even if an external force is inadvertently applied in a normal use state, The rotating shaft 543 does not easily come out of the shaft hole 533 of the housing 530.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2012-48313 (FIG. 8)

  By the way, in such an automatic teller machine, a space that can be used by a handle in a sideways state may become extremely narrow in response to requests such as downsizing of the apparatus configuration or an increase in the number of stored bills. In such a case, it is necessary to configure the handle 540 to be thinner or thinner than usual, and accordingly, the rigidity is lowered.

  Then, the banknote storage 519 has a relatively low rigidity when an external force is applied inadvertently when the handle 540 is in the sideways state (FIG. 19B), so that the retaining protrusion 544 has the shaft hole 533. There is a problem that the rotation shaft 543 is pulled out of the bearing portion 533A through the expansion hole portion 533B and the handle 540 is detached from the housing 530.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to propose a medium storage and a medium transaction apparatus that can prevent a handle that can rotate with respect to a casing from dropping off.

  In order to solve this problem, in the medium storage of the present invention, a part of the storage space for storing the medium is formed, and the first casing having the support plate and the support plate of the first casing are penetrated. A shaft hole having a bearing portion and an expansion hole portion in which a part of the outer periphery of the bearing portion is extended outward, and a remaining portion of the storage space, and is attached to the first housing. Is inserted into the second housing that closes the storage space from the outside, the grip portion gripped by the user, and the bearing portion in the shaft hole of the first housing, and rotates with respect to the first housing. A handle having a pivot shaft serving as a pivot center in the case, a retaining projection that protrudes outward of the pivot shaft and passes through an expansion hole portion of the shaft hole when assembled to the first housing; A block that is provided on the body and blocks the expansion hole of the shaft hole when the second casing is attached to the first casing. It was to provide a cause Metropolitan.

  The medium transaction apparatus of the present invention is a medium transaction apparatus in which a medium storage for storing a medium to be traded with a user is attached or removed, and the medium storage stores the medium inside. A part of the storage space is formed, and a first housing having a support plate and a support plate of the first housing are formed so as to penetrate, and a bearing portion and a part of the outer periphery of the bearing portion are outward. A shaft hole having an extended hole portion extended to the second housing, a second housing that forms the remainder of the storage space and closes the storage space from the outside when attached to the first housing, and is gripped by the user And a pivot shaft that is inserted into the bearing portion in the shaft hole of the first housing and pivots with respect to the first housing, and protrudes outward of the pivot shaft. A handle having a retaining projection that passes through the expansion hole of the shaft hole when assembled to the first housing; 2 is provided in the housing, the second housing is acceptable to provide a closed projections for closing the extended hole portion of the shaft hole when mounted to the first housing.

  Thereby, only by attaching the 2nd case to the 1st case in the state where the rotation axis of the handle and the retaining protrusion are inserted in accordance with the bearing part and the expansion hole part in the shaft hole of the 1st case, Since the expansion hole portion can be closed by the closing protrusion, it is possible to prevent the rotation protrusion from passing through the expansion hole portion and falling off the shaft from the shaft hole.

  According to the present invention, the expansion hole can be closed by the closing protrusion only by inserting the rotation shaft and the retaining protrusion of the handle into the shaft hole of the first casing and attaching the second casing to the first casing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the rotation shaft and the retaining protrusion from falling out of the shaft hole. Thus, the present invention can realize a medium storage and a medium transaction apparatus that can prevent the handle that can rotate relative to the casing from dropping off.

The customer service section 3 is provided with a card entry / exit 4, a deposit / withdrawal port 5, an operation display unit 6, a numeric keypad 7, and a receipt issuance port 8. Information notification and operation instructions are received.

  The card entry / exit 4 is a portion into which various cards such as a cash card are inserted or ejected. A card processing unit (not shown) for reading account numbers and the like magnetically recorded on various cards is provided inside the housing of the card slot 4. The deposit / withdrawal port 5 is a portion where banknotes to be deposited by the customer are input and banknotes to be dispensed to the customer are discharged. The deposit / withdrawal port 5 is opened or closed by driving a shutter.

  The operation display unit 6 is integrated with an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) that displays an operation screen at the time of transaction and a touch panel for selecting a transaction type, inputting a personal identification number, transaction amount, and the like. The numeric keypad 7 is a physical key that accepts input of numbers such as “0” to “9”, and is used when an input operation such as a password or transaction amount is performed. The receipt issuing port 8 is a part that issues a receipt on which transaction details are printed at the end of transaction processing. Incidentally, a receipt processing unit (not shown) for printing transaction contents and the like on the receipt is provided inside the housing from the receipt issuing port 8.

  In the following, the side of the automated teller machine 1 facing the customer is the front side, the opposite is the rear side, the left and right are the left side and the right side as viewed from the customer facing the front side, and the upper side and the lower side. Is defined and explained.

  Incidentally, the housing 2 is configured such that a front door that covers the front surface and a rear door (not shown) that covers the rear surface can be opened and closed. That is, the housing | casing 2 protects the banknote, coin, etc. which are hold | maintained by obstruct | occluding a front door etc. at the time of the transaction operation | movement which performs the transaction regarding cash with a customer. On the other hand, the housing 2 is easy to work on each part by opening the front door etc. as necessary when a financial institution staff or worker performs maintenance work or banknote replenishment / collection work. Can be done.

  In the housing 2, a main control unit 9 that performs overall control of the entire automatic teller machine 1, a banknote depositing and dispensing machine 10 that performs various processes related to banknotes, and the like are provided.

  The main control unit 9 is mainly configured by a CPU (Central Processing Unit) (not shown), and reads and executes a predetermined program from a ROM (Read Only Memory), a flash memory, etc. (not shown), thereby performing a deposit transaction and a withdrawal. Various processes such as gold transactions are performed. The main control unit 9 has a storage unit including a RAM (Random Access Memory), a hard disk drive, a flash memory, and the like, and stores various information in the storage unit.

[1-2. Configuration of banknote deposit and withdrawal machine]
As shown in the schematic side view of FIG. 2, the bill depositing / dispensing machine 10 is provided with various mechanisms related to bill depositing and dispensing processes inside the bill depositing / dispensing machine housing 11. Each part of the bill depositing / dispensing machine 10 is controlled by the bill control unit 12.

  As with the main control unit 9, the banknote control unit 12 is mainly configured by a CPU (not shown), reads out and executes a predetermined program from a ROM, a flash memory, etc. (not shown), and other main control unit 9 and the like. By cooperating with the control unit, various processes related to banknotes such as banknote depositing and dispensing processes are controlled. Moreover, the banknote control part 12 has a memory | storage part which consists of RAM, flash memory, etc. inside, and memorize | stores various information in this memory | storage part.

  For example, when a customer performs a deposit transaction with the automatic teller machine 1, the banknote control unit 12 receives a predetermined operation input via the operation display unit 6 in cooperation with the main control unit 9 and the like. The shutter of the deposit / withdrawal port 5 (FIG. 1) is opened, and a bill is inserted into the deposit / withdrawal unit 13.

  When a bill is inserted, the deposit / withdrawal unit 13 closes the shutter of the deposit / withdrawal port 5 (FIG. 1) and then takes out the bills one by one and delivers it to the transport unit 14. The conveyance part 14 can convey a banknote to each part in the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 10, advances the banknote passed along the short side direction, and conveys it to the discrimination part 15. The discrimination unit 15 discriminates the denomination and authenticity of the banknote and the degree of damage while conveying the banknote, and notifies the banknote control unit 12 of the discrimination result. In response to this, the banknote control unit 12 determines the transport destination of the banknote based on the acquired discrimination result.

  At this time, the transport unit 14 temporarily holds the banknotes (so-called correct bills) identified as normal in the discrimination unit 15 by transporting them to the temporary storage unit 16 and the banknotes identified as not to be traded ( A so-called non-conformity ticket or fake ticket) is conveyed to the deposit / withdrawal unit 13 and returned to the customer.

  Thereafter, the banknote control unit 12 allows the customer to confirm the deposit amount via the operation display unit 6 (FIG. 1), conveys the banknotes held in the temporary storage unit 16 to the discrimination unit 15, and denominations and damages thereof. Differentiate the degree, etc., and obtain the result of the discrimination. And the banknote control part 12 will convey this to the rejection store | warehouse | chamber 17 as a reject banknote which should not be reused if the degree of damage of a banknote is large, and if this is small, the banknote which should be reused As shown in FIG. The lower transport unit 18 transports the banknotes in the front-rear direction, and distributes the banknotes to the banknote storage 19 corresponding to the denomination. The banknote storage 19 accumulates and stores the delivered banknotes therein.

  On the other hand, for example, when a customer conducts a withdrawal transaction with the automatic teller machine 1, the banknote control unit 12 is linked with the main control unit 9 and the like via the operation display unit 6 (FIG. 1). After accepting the operation input, the banknote corresponding to the amount to be withdrawn is drawn out from the banknote storage 19. Subsequently, the banknote control unit 12 conveys the banknote to the discrimination unit 15 by the lower conveyance unit 18 and the conveyance unit 14, and then conveys the bill to the deposit / withdrawal unit 13, and the shutter of the deposit / withdrawal port 5 (FIG. 1). Open and let the customer pick up this bill.

  Thus, in the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10, the banknotes deposited by the customer are sorted by the lower conveyance unit 18 and stored in the banknote storage box 19, and the banknotes are fed out from the banknote storage box 19 to be withdrawn to the customer. ing.

  By the way, the lower conveyance part 18 and the banknote storage 19 are integrated in the lower unit 21 which occupies the lower side of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10. As shown in FIG. 3, the lower unit 21 moves in the front-rear direction via a slide rail 22 that expands and contracts in the front-rear direction with respect to the lower case 11 </ b> A formed in the lower part of the bill depositing / dispensing machine case 11. It is attached as possible. Therefore, when the lower unit 21 is moved rearward from the state housed in the lower housing 11A (FIG. 2), the lower unit 21 is pulled out from the lower housing 11A (FIG. 3). When it is moved, it returns to the stored state (FIG. 2).

  As shown in FIG. 4, the lower unit 21 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole, and is roughly composed of a lower loading portion 25 and an upper lid portion 26. The loading unit 25 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, has an opening on the upper side, and forms a space for loading five banknote storage boxes 19 therein. The lid part 26 is formed in a thin rectangular parallelepiped shape in the vertical direction, and the lower transport part 18 (FIG. 2) is incorporated therein. Further, the lid part 26 is attached to the loading part 25 via a hinge 27 so as to be rotatable.

[1-3. Banknote storage configuration]
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the bill storage 19 is roughly divided into a housing 30 for storing bills therein, and is configured to be rotatable with respect to the housing 30, and is held by an operator or the like. And a handle 40.

  The housing 30 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole and forms a storage space for storing bills therein. Also, in the housing 30, the banknotes delivered from the lower transport unit 18 (FIG. 2) are discharged and accumulated in the storage space, and the banknotes in the storage space are separated and fed out one by one. The mechanism is incorporated. The housing 30 includes a front housing 31 that occupies a range of about 2/3 of the front side, and a rear housing 36 that occupies a range of about 1/3 of the rear side.

  As shown in FIGS. 7C and 7D, the front housing 31 is formed with a recessed portion that is recessed so that the vicinity of the upper end of the left and right side portions is closer to the center side than the periphery. The handle support side portion 32, which is a portion facing each side in each recess, is a thin plate in the left-right direction, and is a part of the outer shape of the front housing 31. Further, the front casing 31 is also formed with recesses similar to the left and right side portions in the vicinity of the upper end of the front side portion. For convenience of explanation, hereinafter, the concave portions formed in the vicinity of the left and right and front upper ends are collectively referred to as a storage concave portion 31C.

  In the vicinity of the rear end of each handle support side portion 32 as a support plate, a shaft hole 33 that penetrates between the inside and outside of the front housing 31 is formed. As shown in a partially enlarged view in FIG. 8A, the shaft hole 33 is expanded so that a round hole-shaped bearing portion 33A and a rear part of the outer periphery of the bearing portion 33A protrude rearward. It is comprised by the hole 33B. Since the shaft hole 33 includes the bearing portion 33A and the expansion hole portion 33B, the shape when viewed from the left-right direction is a keyhole shape.

  Incidentally, on the rear surface of the front housing 31, a space that becomes a front side portion or a central portion of the storage space is formed by the center portion being largely bent forward. Further, a motor or roller for conveying banknotes, a stage for placing banknotes or the like (both not shown) are incorporated in the front casing 31.

  As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the rear housing 36 is formed in a thin rectangular parallelepiped shape in the front-rear direction, and the length in the vertical direction and the left-right direction is substantially the same as that of the front housing 31. ing. Further, on the front surface of the rear housing 36, a closing protrusion 37 protruding forward is provided in the vicinity of the upper end and in the vicinity of both left and right ends.

  Each closing projection 37 is formed in a plate shape that is thin in the left-right direction and elongated in the front-rear direction, and is flat so that the inner surface thereof is a uniform plane. Further, each closing projection 37 is arranged such that the outer surface thereof is in contact with or very close to the inner surface of each of the left and right handle support side portions 32 in the front housing 31. Further, as shown in a partial perspective view in FIG. 8A, the front half of the closing projection 37 is cut off into a rectangular shape so that the closing portion 37A is located slightly rearward on the upper side. And the extension part 37B extended to the lower front is formed.

  Incidentally, a space serving as a rear portion of the storage space is formed on the front surface of the rear housing 36 by a large center portion corresponding to the front housing 31. In addition, similarly to the front case 31, various parts (not shown) for collecting or separating banknotes are appropriately incorporated in the rear case 36 as well.

  As shown in FIG. 5B and FIGS. 7E and 7F, the handle 40 includes a grip portion 41, an arm portion 42, a rotation shaft 43, and a retaining projection 44. The grip portion 41 is configured in an elongated rectangular parallelepiped shape or a rod shape whose longitudinal direction is the left-right direction, and the length in the left-right direction is substantially the same as that of the housing 30. On the other hand, the length in the front-rear direction of the grip portion 41 (that is, the width when viewed from above) is shorter (narrower) than the conventional handle 540 (FIG. 19).

  Bar-shaped arm portions 42 are extended from the left and right ends of the grip portion 41 in the rearward direction. That is, the handle 40 has a shape in which one side is omitted from a rectangular frame-shaped member. Further, the length in the left-right direction of the arm portion 42 (that is, the width when viewed from above) is shorter (narrower) than the conventional handle 540 (FIG. 19), similarly to the length in the front-rear direction of the grip portion 41. ing.

  On the inner side surface at the rear end of each arm portion 42, a rotating shaft 43 having a small and short cylindrical shape with a central axis in the left-right direction is erected inward in the left-right direction. Incidentally, the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 43 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the bearing portion 33A of the shaft hole 33. The left and right pivot shafts 43 are arranged so that their center axes coincide with each other.

  As shown in FIGS. 7E and 8A, in the vicinity of the inner end on the peripheral side surface of each rotation shaft 43, the rotation shaft 43 is smaller than the rotation shaft 43 from the rear side opposite to the grip portion 41. A columnar retaining protrusion 44 is erected rearward. The protruding length and the diameter of the retaining protrusion 44 from the rotation shaft 43 are shorter than the lengths (that is, the inner dimensions) in the vertical direction and the front-rear direction of the expansion hole portion 33B of the shaft hole 33, respectively.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 7, the distance L1 from the inner side surface of the arm portion 42 to the retaining projection 44 in the handle 40 is the length L2 in the left-right direction of the handle support side portion 32 of the front housing 31 and the rear housing 36. The closing projection 37 is slightly larger than the added value with the length L3 in the left-right direction.

  The handle 40 is made of, for example, a predetermined resin material, and the length in the front-rear direction of the grip portion 41 and the length in the left-right direction of the arm portion 42 are relatively short. It has a certain degree of elasticity.

  As shown in FIGS. 7E and 7F, the handle 40 has the longitudinal directions of the left and right arm portions 42 substantially parallel to each other in a natural state where no external force is applied. Here, as shown in FIG. 9, the distance L5 between the inner surfaces of the rotation shaft 43 in the handle 40 in the natural state is sufficiently shorter than the distance L4 between the outer surfaces of the handle support side portion 32 in the front housing 31. It has become. Incidentally, the distance L6 between the inner side surfaces of the arm part 42 in the handle 40 in the natural state is slightly larger than the distance L4 in the front housing 31.

  On the other hand, when an external force F1 directed outward is applied to each arm portion 42, the handle 40 increases the distance between the distal ends of both arm portions 42 as shown in FIG. An interval between the moving shafts 43 can be set to an interval L7 that is wider than an interval L4 of the front casing 31. Further, when the external force F1 is released, the handle 40 returns to the original natural state (FIGS. 9C and 9D) by the action of the elastic force. Incidentally, since the handle 40 has relatively low rigidity as described above, it can be easily deformed by a relatively small external force F1.

  Next, the assembly process of the banknote storage 19 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 9E, the handle 40 is applied with an external force F <b> 1, and the interval between the inner side surfaces of the rotation shaft 43 is increased to about the interval L <b> 7. In this state, the handle 40 is released from the external force F <b> 1 after the rotation shaft 43 is moved to the left and right outward of the shaft hole 33 in the front housing 31.

  At this time, the handle 40 tries to return to the natural state by the action of the elastic force, and each rotation shaft 43 is inserted into the bearing portion 33A of the shaft hole 33, and each retaining projection 44 is inserted into the expansion hole portion 33B of the shaft hole 33. Pass each one.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 8B, the handle 40 causes the rotating shaft 43 and the retaining protrusion 44 to protrude to the inside of the handle support side portion 32, and as shown in FIGS. 10C and 10D. In addition, the grip portion 41 and each arm portion 42 can be fitted into a storage recess 31 </ b> C formed in the upper portion of the front housing 31.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 8B and 10C, a certain amount of gap is formed between the inner surface of the handle support side portion 32 in the front housing 31 and the retaining protrusion 44 of the handle 40. Has been.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the rear housing 36 is in a state in which the positions of the front housing 31 and the vertical direction and the left-right direction are substantially aligned on the rear side of the front housing 31. The rear housing 36 is attached with a mounting screw (not shown) or the like with the front surface of the rear housing 36 in contact with the rear surface of the front housing 31. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the front housing 31 and the rear housing 36 become an integrated housing 30, and a storage space that is almost closed from the outside is formed inside the housing 30.

  At this time, the closing protrusion 37 of the rear housing 36 moves its front end closer to the rotation shaft 43 with its outer surface approaching or contacting the inner surface of the handle support side portion 32, and eventually FIG. As shown in (3), the rotating shaft 43 is stopped at a position where the rotating shaft 43 is fitted into the notched portion of the closing protrusion 37.

  Accordingly, the closing protrusion 37 can be positioned between the inner side surface of the handle support side portion 32, particularly the expansion hole portion 33 </ b> B of the shaft hole 33 and the retaining protrusion 44. That is, since the closing protrusion 37 closes the expansion hole 33B by the closing part 37A, the retaining protrusion 44 moves outward, in particular, passes through the expansion hole 33B of the shaft hole 33 and supports the handle together with the rotating shaft 43. Jumping out of the side portion 32 can be prevented.

  Incidentally, at this time, the inner side surface of the closing projection 37 is substantially parallel to the side surface of the handle support side portion 32 in the front housing 31, and the central axis of the bearing portion 33 </ b> A and the central axis of the rotation shaft 43 in the shaft hole 33. Orthogonal.

  As a result, the banknote storage 19 can change the posture of the handle 40 by rotating the handle 40 with the bearing portion 33A of the shaft hole 33 as a bearing and the rotation shaft 43 as a central axis. For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the banknote storage 19 has a state in which the arm portion 42 and the grip portion 41 are fitted in the storage recess 31 </ b> C when the arm portion 42 of the handle 40 is aligned in the horizontal direction. (Hereinafter, this is referred to as a sideways state). In addition, as shown in FIG. 5C, the banknote storage 19 has a state in which a sufficient gap is generated between the grip portion 41 and the housing 30 when the arm portion 42 is aligned in the vertical direction ( This is hereinafter referred to as a standing state).

  In this way, the banknote storage 19 attaches the rear housing 36 to the front housing 31 after the closing projection 37 is erected, so that the vicinity of the front end portion of the closing projection 37 is connected to the rotating shaft 43 and the retaining projection of the handle 40. 44 is positioned in the vicinity of 44.

[1-4. Operation and effect]
In the above configuration, the banknote storage 19 in the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10 of the automatic teller machine 1 according to the first embodiment includes the pivot shaft 43 and the retaining protrusion 44 of the handle 40 in the shaft hole 33 of the front housing 31. After being inserted into the housing, the rear housing 36 is attached to the front housing 31 so that the closing projection 37 is positioned between the expansion hole 33B of the shaft hole 33 and the retaining projection 44 of the handle 40.

  Thereby, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the banknote storage 19 is in a state where the expansion hole portion 33 </ b> B of the shaft hole 33 is closed by the closing portion 37 </ b> A of the closing protrusion 37 as viewed from the left-right direction. . Incidentally, for convenience of explanation, FIG. 11 shows a state in which the arm portion 42 of the handle 40 is seen through.

  Here, if the closing protrusion 37 of the rear housing 36 is omitted, the expansion hole portion 33B of the shaft hole 33 remains open in the left-right direction. Further, since the handle 40 has relatively low rigidity as described above, there is a possibility that the handle 40 may be easily deformed from the natural state (FIGS. 9C and 9D) only by applying a relatively weak external force.

  For this reason, in this hypothetical case, when an external force is applied to the handle 40 in the sideways state (FIG. 5A), the handle 40 is deformed from the natural state, and the retaining projection 44 is extended to the expansion hole portion of the shaft hole 33. There is a fear that the handle 40 may be pulled out from the outside, that is, the handle 40 may be dropped from the housing 30.

  On the other hand, in the banknote storage 19 according to the first embodiment, the closing protrusion 37 of the rear housing 36 is located between the expansion hole 33B of the shaft hole 33 and the retaining protrusion 44 of the handle 40, as if the closing The expansion hole 33B is closed by the closing portion 37A of the protrusion 37.

  For this reason, even if an external force is applied to the handle 40 in the sideways state (FIG. 5A), the bill storage 19 moves the retaining projection 44 outward by the closing portion 37 </ b> A of the closing projection 37. This can prevent the removal projection 44 and the rotation shaft 43 from coming out of the handle support side portion 32 from the shaft hole 33, that is, preventing the handle 40 from falling off the housing 30.

  The closing protrusion 37 positions the closing portion 37A or the extension portion 37B so as to be adjacent to the rear side and the lower side of the rotation shaft 43, respectively. For this reason, the closing protrusion 37 is located between the retaining protrusion 44 and the handle support side portion 32 regardless of the position of the retaining protrusion 44 when the handle 40 rotates between the sideways state and the standing state. In addition, at least a part of the blocking part 37A or the extension part 37B can be sandwiched. Further, the closing projection 37 has a flat inner surface that is a surface facing the retaining projection 44.

  For this reason, when the handle 40 rotates between the sideways state and the upright state, the closing protrusion 37 is located between the retaining protrusion 44 and the closing protrusion 37 regardless of the position of the retaining protrusion 44. The distance from the side surface can be kept almost constant. That is, the closing protrusion 37 can be smoothly rotated together with the handle 40 as a whole without obstructing the retaining protrusion 44.

  In addition to this, when the handle 40 is in the sideways state (FIG. 11B), the closing protrusion 37 is positioned near the retaining protrusion 44 and the handle 40 is in the standing state (FIG. 11). (C)), the extension 37B is positioned in the vicinity of the retaining projection 44. In addition, the closing protrusion 37 can be any of the closing protrusion 37 extending from the closing portion 37A to the extending portion 37B even in a range where the retaining protrusion 44 is located when the handle 40 rotates between the sideways state and the standing state. The location is positioned in the vicinity of the retaining protrusion 44.

  For this reason, the banknote storage 19 can smoothly slide on the inner surface of the closing protrusion 37 without bringing the retaining protrusion 44 into contact with an obstacle such as a step when the handle 40 rotates. Thus, the handle 40 can also be smoothly rotated.

  Furthermore, the banknote storage 19 was made to erect the closing protrusion 37 on the rear housing 36 without increasing new parts as compared with the conventional banknote storage 519 (FIG. 19). For this reason, the banknote storage box 19 rotates the closing protrusion 37 by simply aligning and attaching the rear casing 36 to the front casing 31 without increasing the number of processes in the assembly process. It can arrange | position in an appropriate position with respect to the axis | shaft 43 and the securing protrusion 44, and can prevent the drop of the handle 40.

  Further, for example, as a method of assembling the handle 40 to the bill storage, all of the retaining projection 44, the expansion hole portion 33 </ b> B and the closing projection 37 are omitted, and the handle 40 is inserted into the shaft hole 33, and then the rotation shaft 43. A device is known in which a retaining member made of a separate part is attached near the tip. However, in this case, since a step of attaching a retaining member to the tip of the rotating shaft 43 is required at the time of manufacture, there is a risk of increasing the number of work steps and the manufacturing cost.

  On the other hand, in the banknote storage box 19 according to the first embodiment, after the handle 40 is inserted through the shaft hole 33, it is not necessary to perform any attachment work on the rotating shaft 43. Compared with the storage 519 (FIG. 19), it is possible to avoid an increase in man-hours and an increase in manufacturing cost associated therewith.

  According to the above configuration, the banknote storage 19 in the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10 of the automatic teller machine 1 according to the first embodiment has the blocking protrusion 37 erected forward from the rear housing 36. In the assembling process, the bill storage case 19 attaches the rear case 36 to an appropriate position on the front case 31 in a state where the rotation shaft 43 of the handle 40 is inserted into the shaft hole 33 of the front case 31. Thus, the closing portion 37 </ b> A of the closing protrusion 37 can be positioned between the inner surface of the handle support side portion 32 and the retaining protrusion 44. Thereby, even if the handle 40 is in a sideways state (FIG. 5 (B)), the banknote storage 19 has the retaining projection 44 coming out of the shaft hole 33 by the closing projection 37, that is, the handle 40 from the housing 30. Dropout can be prevented.

[2. Second Embodiment]
The automatic teller machine 101 (FIG. 1) by 2nd Embodiment has the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 110 replaced with the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 10 compared with the automatic teller machine 1 by 1st Embodiment. However, the other points are configured in the same manner.

  Although the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 110 (FIG. 2) is different from the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10 according to the first embodiment in that it has a banknote storage 119 instead of the banknote storage 19, it has other points. Are structured similarly.

[2-1. Banknote storage configuration]
As shown in FIG. 12 corresponding to FIG. 5A, the bill storage 119 according to the second embodiment is compared with the bill storage 19 according to the first embodiment (FIGS. 5 to 7). The housing 30 and the handle 40 correspond to the housing 130 and the handle 140, respectively. The housing 130 includes a front housing 131 and a rear housing 136 corresponding to the front housing 31 and the rear housing 36, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the front casing 131 has a storage recess 131C formed in the upper portion, as in the first embodiment, and the handle support side portion 132, which is a portion facing the left and right in each recess, A shaft hole 133 corresponding to the shaft hole 33 is formed. As shown in FIG. 14A, the shaft hole 133 has a round hole-shaped bearing portion 133A as in the first embodiment, and the front opposite to the first embodiment with respect to the bearing portion 133A. It is comprised by the expansion hole part 133B extended so that it might protrude.

  The rear housing 136 does not have the closing projection 37 in the first embodiment, and is formed in a thin rectangular parallelepiped shape in the front-rear direction. A planar rotation restricting portion 138 is formed in a portion corresponding to the storage recess 131 </ b> C in the rear housing 136.

  The handle 140 has a grip portion 41 and left and right arm portions 42 similar to those of the handle 40 according to the first embodiment, and further, in the vicinity of the distal end of each arm portion 42, the left and right arms than the first embodiment. A rotating shaft 143 that is short in the direction is erected inward. Further, in the vicinity of the inner end on the peripheral side surface of the rotating shaft 143, a retaining protrusion 144 having a shape similar to that of the retaining protrusion 44 is erected from the rear side opposite to the grip portion 41 to the rear.

  Incidentally, the distance from the inner surface of the arm portion 42 to the retaining projection 144 in the handle 140 is shorter than that of the first embodiment, and is slightly larger than the length in the left-right direction of the handle support side portion 132 of the front housing 131. It has become.

  Similarly to the first embodiment, the handle 140 has a certain degree of rigidity and elasticity, and when an external force is applied, as in the case shown in FIG. The distance between each other, that is, the distance between the rear end sides of the handle 140 in the posture shown in FIG. 13 can be widened, and when this external force is released, the original natural state is restored.

  Next, the assembly process of the banknote storage 119 will be described. In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15 (A), first, the handle 140 is directed opposite to the front and rear of the first embodiment, the grip portion 41 is located at the rear, and the rotating shaft 143 and The retaining projection 144 is positioned forward.

  The handle 140 having such a posture is deformed by temporarily applying an outward force to the arm portion 42 in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and the rotation shaft 143 is formed in the shaft hole in the front housing 131. The external force is released after moving to the left and right outside of 133.

  At this time, as in the first embodiment, the handle 140 tries to return to the natural state by the action of the elastic force, and each pivot shaft 143 is inserted into the bearing portion 133A of the shaft hole 133 and each retaining projection 144 is pivoted. The holes 133B are passed through the expanded holes 133B.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 14B, the handle 140 causes the pivot shaft 143 and the retaining protrusion 144 to protrude to the inside of the handle support side portion 132, and as shown in FIG. In a state where the position 41 is positioned behind the shaft hole 133, it is assembled to the front casing 131.

  Next, the handle 140 is rotated 180 degrees so that the grip 41 is lifted forward and upward with respect to the front housing 131 and then the grip 41 is pulled down forward and downward. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 14C, the handle 140 is in a state in which the grip portion 41 and each arm portion 42 are fitted in the storage recess 131 </ b> C formed in the upper portion of the front housing 131, i.e., in a sideways state. be able to. At this time, as shown in FIG. 14 (C), the retaining protrusion 144 approaches or contacts the inner surface of the handle support side portion 132, and the movement in the left-right direction is restricted.

  Finally, the rear case 136 is attached to the rear side of the front case 131. Thereby, the rotation restricting portion 138 is adjacent to the back of the tip portion of the arm portion 42 of the handle 140.

  As a result, the banknote storage 119 can rotate the handle 140 with the bearing portion 133A of the shaft hole 133 as a bearing and the rotation shaft 143 as a central axis, as in the first embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the banknote storage 119 is in a sideways state when the arm portion 42 of the handle 140 is placed along the horizontal direction. Further, as shown in the side view of FIG. 16, the banknote storage 119 is in an upright state in which a sufficient gap is generated between the grip portion 41 and the housing 130 when the arm portion 42 is set along the vertical direction. .

  Further, the banknote storage 119 is restricted from turning by the turning restriction unit 138 so that the grip part 41 of the handle 140 is pulled down rearward and downward. That is, the handle 140 can rotate only between the sideways state and the standing state.

  Thus, the bill storage 119 limits the rotation range of the handle 140 by attaching the rear case 136 to the front case 131 to which the handle 140 is assembled.

[2-2. Operation and effect]
In the above configuration, the bill storage 119 in the bill depositing / dispensing machine 110 of the automatic teller machine 101 according to the second embodiment is similar to the first embodiment from the pivot shaft 143 of the handle 140 to the grip portion 41. The retaining projection 144 was erected in the direction opposite to the direction (FIG. 13). On the other hand, the bill storage 119 has an expansion hole 133B formed in front of the bearing portion 133A in the shaft hole 133 provided in the handle support side portion 132 of the front housing 131, contrary to the first embodiment. (FIG. 14 (A)).

  In the assembling process, the bill storage 119 has the pivot shaft 143 and the retaining projection 144 in the axial hole of the front casing 131 in such a posture that the grip portion 41 of the handle 140 is positioned behind the pivot shaft 143. After being inserted into 133, the handle 140 is rotated 180 degrees, and then the rear casing 136 is attached to the front casing 131 (FIG. 15). Thereby, the banknote storage 119 can regulate the rotation range of the handle 140 within the range of the sideways state (FIG. 12) and the standing state (FIG. 16).

  In particular, the bill storage 119 needs to be in a posture (FIG. 15B) such that the grip portion 41 of the handle 140 is positioned on the rear side of the rotation shaft 143 in order to attach the handle 140 to the housing 130. is there. Accordingly, in the banknote storage 119, when the handle 140 is removed from the housing 130, the grip portion 41 of the handle 140 needs to be positioned on the rear side of the rotation shaft 143 and the shaft hole 133.

  However, in the banknote storage 119, when the rear case 136 is attached to the front case 131, the rotation range of the handle 140 is restricted to the range of the sideways state (FIG. 12) and the standing state (FIG. 16). Therefore, the handle 140 cannot be in the posture as shown in FIG.

  For this reason, as long as the rear housing 136 is attached to the front housing 131, the banknote storage 119 can be applied to the inner surface of the handle support side portion 132 even if an external force that causes deformation is applied to the handle 140. Thus, the movement of the retaining projection 144 to the left and right outwards can always be restricted, so that the handle 140 is not dropped from the housing 130.

  Moreover, the banknote storage 119 does not increase a new part compared with the conventional banknote storage 519 (FIG. 19) similarly to 1st Embodiment. For this reason, the banknote storage 119 has a rotational range of the handle 140 simply by attaching the rear housing 36 to the front housing 31 by appropriately aligning it with the front housing 31 without increasing the number of steps in the assembly process. And can be prevented from falling off.

  According to the above configuration, the banknote storage 119 in the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 110 of the automatic teller machine 101 according to the second embodiment is configured so that the grip portion 41 of the handle 140 is positioned more than the rotating shaft 143 in the assembly process. The pivot shaft 143 and the retaining protrusion 144 are inserted into the shaft hole 133 of the front housing 131 in such a posture as to be positioned rearward. Subsequently, after the banknote storage 119 rotates the handle 140 by 180 degrees, the rear casing 136 is attached to the front casing 131. Thereby, the banknote storage 119 can regulate the rotation range of the handle 140 within the range of the sideways state (FIG. 12) and the standing state (FIG. 16). Therefore, the retaining protrusion 144 can be prevented from coming out of the shaft hole 133, that is, the handle 140 can be prevented from falling off from the housing 130.

[3. Other Embodiments]
In the first embodiment described above, the case where the length in the left-right direction, that is, the thickness of the closing protrusion 37 is uniform has been described (FIG. 8A). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and each portion may be different.

  For example, like the closing protrusion 237 shown in FIG. 17A, the length (thickness) in the left-right direction is made longer (thicker) on the distal end side of the extension portion 237B than the closing portion 237A, and the connection portion between the two Alternatively, the inclined surface 237C may be formed. In this case, when the handle 40 is in the sideways state, a gap is formed between the retaining protrusion 44 and the closing portion 237A, and there is no friction or resistance between the two, so that the handle 40 can be rotated by a relatively weak force. it can. On the other hand, when the handle 40 is in an upright state or in the vicinity thereof, the retaining protrusion 44 comes into contact with the extension portion 237B to generate a resistance due to friction, so that a relatively strong force is required for rotation. Thereby, the banknote storage 19 can maintain the handle 40 in an upright state even when the operator's hand is released, and can improve the work efficiency in the handling.

  Further, like the closing protrusion 247 shown in FIG. 17B, the length (thickness) in the left-right direction is closer to the position where the retaining protrusion 44 approaches or abuts in the standing state of the extension 247B from the periphery. Alternatively, the protruding portion 247C that is locally long (thick) may be formed. In this case, the handle 40 makes the retaining projection 44 abut against the closing projection 247 only at a location where the protruding portion 247C is provided, and requires a relatively strong force for its rotation. And requires little force for rotation. That is, the handle 40 requires a relatively large force only immediately before it is rotated from the sideways state to the upright state and immediately after it is started to rotate from the upright state to the sideways state. As in the case of FIG. 17A, the handle 40 can be maintained in the standing state.

  In these cases, the posture for holding the handle 40 is not limited to the posture in the standing state (FIG. 5C), and may be various postures such as the posture in the sideways state (FIG. 5A). it can. In this case, the thickness (length in the left-right direction) of the closing protrusion may be increased (longer) in accordance with the position of the retaining protrusion 44 in each posture.

  Furthermore, by omitting the extension portion 37B of the closing protrusion 37 (FIG. 8A), the retaining protrusion only when the handle 40 is in a sideways state or a state close thereto in the rotation range of the retaining protrusion 44. The blocking portion 37 </ b> A may be positioned between the handle 44 and the handle support side portion 32, and a relatively large gap may be formed between the retaining projection 44 and the handle support side portion 32 in other states.

  Further, in the first embodiment described above, the case where the vicinity of the front end of the closing projection 37 has a shape in which the upper half is cut into a rectangular shape has been described (FIG. 8A). However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a shape cut off so as to form a curved surface corresponding to the peripheral side surface of the rotating shaft 43, such as a closing protrusion 257 shown in FIG.

  Further, in the above-described first embodiment, the case where one retaining protrusion 44 is provided on the peripheral side surface of the rotating shaft 43 and one expansion hole portion 33B is provided in the shaft hole 33 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, two or more retaining protrusions 44 may be provided on the peripheral side surface of the rotating shaft 43 and two or more expansion hole portions 33B may be provided in the shaft hole 33. Further, the number of expansion holes 33B may be equal to or more than the number of retaining protrusions 44. In these cases, if the pivot shaft 43 and the retaining protrusion 44 can be inserted into the bearing portion 33A and the expansion hole portion 33B of the shaft hole 33 with the handle 40 oriented in a predetermined direction with respect to the front housing 31 in these cases. good. The same applies to the second embodiment.

  Further, in the first embodiment described above, the retaining protrusion 44 is provided on the peripheral side surface of the rotating shaft 43 on the opposite side (that is, the rear side) of the gripping portion 41, and on the rear side of the bearing portion 33 </ b> A in the shaft hole 33. The case where the expansion hole 33B is provided has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the retaining protrusion 44 may be provided on the upper side of the peripheral side surface of the rotating shaft 43, and the expansion hole portion 33 </ b> B may be provided on the shaft hole 33 above the bearing portion 33 </ b> A. In this case, the closing protrusion 37 may be shaped such that, for example, about half of the lower side of the front end is cut off, and the extension hole portion 33B may be closed by the extension portion 37B formed on the upper side.

  Further, in the first embodiment described above, the expansion hole 33B is provided behind the bearing portion 33A, and the retaining projection 44 is positioned behind the rotating shaft 43 when the handle 40 is in the sideways state. Thus, the case has been described in which the handle 40 can be assembled or removed from the front housing 31. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the handle 40 is in various postures, such as when the shame 41 is positioned obliquely upward in front of the rotation shaft 43 of the handle 40, The retaining protrusion 44 may be positioned behind the shaft 43 so that the handle 40 can be attached to or detached from the front housing 31.

  That is, in the present invention, when the handle 40 is in a predetermined posture with respect to the front housing 31 (that is, when the grip portion 41 is positioned in a predetermined direction with respect to the rotation shaft 43), the retaining protrusion 44 with respect to the rotation shaft 43 is retained. And the direction of the expansion hole portion 33B with respect to the bearing portion 33A need only coincide with each other, and the expansion hole portion 33B can be closed by the closing protrusion 37 standing on the rear housing 36 on the rear side.

  Further, in the first embodiment described above, the housing 30 is divided into front and rear, and is configured by the front housing 31 and the rear housing 36, the shaft hole 33 is provided in the front housing 31 and the handle 40 is assembled. The case where the closing projection 37 is erected forward on the entire surface of the rear casing 36 has been described.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the casing 30 is divided into front and rear parts, and is constituted by an upper casing and a lower casing, and a shaft hole 33 is provided in the lower casing and the handle 40 is assembled. In addition, the closing protrusion 37 may be erected downward. That is, in the present invention, the housing 30 may be divided by a dividing line along any direction. In this case, a shaft hole may be provided in one of the divided housings, the handle 40 may be assembled in advance, and the closing protrusion 37 may be erected on the other housing. The same applies to the dividing direction of the housing 130 in the second embodiment.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment described above, the handle 40 has a bar-shaped grip part 41 along the left-right direction, a bar-shaped arm part 42 along the front-rear direction in the sideways state, a rotation shaft 43, and a retaining shaft. The case where the projection 44 is used has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, instead of the grip portion 41 and the arm portion 42, grip portions having various shapes such as a semicircular shape or an arc shape are provided, and the rotation shaft 43 and the retaining protrusion 44 are provided on the grip portion. The handle can be combined. The same applies to the second embodiment.

  Furthermore, in the above-described first embodiment, the case where the retaining protrusion 44 is configured in a columnar shape smaller than the rotation shaft 43 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various three-dimensional shapes such as a rectangular parallelepiped shape, a triangular prism shape, or a hemispherical shape may be used. The same applies to the second embodiment.

  Furthermore, in the above-described first embodiment, the case where the bearing portion 33A of the shaft hole 33 is a round hole has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the bearing portion 33A may have various shapes such that the shape drawn by the outer periphery when viewed from the left-right direction is an ellipse, an ellipse, a sector, or the like. The same applies to the second embodiment.

  Further, in the above-described first embodiment, the case where the shaft hole 33 is provided in the plate-like handle support side portion 32 which is a part of the left and right outer plates in the front housing 31 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a handle support plate that is thin and has a plate surface in the left-right direction is provided on the top plate of the front housing 31, and a shaft hole 33 is formed in the handle support plate. May be installed.

  Further, in the second embodiment described above, the rotation restricting portion 138 is provided in a portion corresponding to the storage recess 131C in the rear casing 136, and the rotation restricting portion 138 is brought into contact with the arm portion 42 of the handle 140. Thus, the case where the rotation range is limited has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a projection having a predetermined shape, such as the closing projection 37 in the first embodiment, is erected on the rear casing 136, thereby limiting the rotation range of the retaining projection 44. Thus, the rotation half of the entire handle 140 may be limited.

  Furthermore, in 1st Embodiment mentioned above, the case where this invention was applied to the banknote storage 19 which accommodates and pays out a banknote was described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a handle that is configured to be detachable with respect to the inside of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10 such as a reject box 17 having only a function of storing banknotes, and stores a banknote therein and is rotatable You may apply to the various storage provided with.
