Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively use space by employing such constitution that the space where a housing case is drawn out from a built-in unit can be selected in either right or left direction and it can be used regardless of its arrangement. CONSTITUTION:Various kinds of units 12-16 are assembled in a transaction machine main body 2. Those built-in units can be assembled by selecting the space where the housing case is drawn out from the built-in unit even in either right or left direction even when the units are installed at either right or left position. For example, when a coin unit 14 is drawn in and out, the transaction machine main body 2 is installed neighboring to a wall 40 and the input/output work of the coin unit 14 can be simplified even when the left side of a drawn out coin unit 14 is installed neighboring to the wall 40 not so as to open a left door 18 fully. Thereby, it is possible to install an equipment main body neighboring to the wall, etc., and to effectively use installing space.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Purpose of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a coin unit etc. that is removably built into the main body of an automatic transaction machine installed in a mechanized corner of a bank, for example. This relates to a device for taking in and out a built-in unit.

(Prior Art) In this type of automatic transaction machine, as shown in FIG. 10, a slip unit b1, a passbook unit C, a coin unit d1, and a banknote unit e are built into the transaction machine main body a. A pair of left and right rear doors f, which open double doors, are provided on the back of the transaction machine main body a. Each of the above units b,
c, d, e open the rear doors f, f, and the above units b,
c, d, and e can be pulled out from the back side of the transaction machine main body a through the respective drawer rails g.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 10, the coin unit d
A cassette storage case i into which a coin cassette h is loaded is provided inside the coin unit d, and this storage case i can be pulled out laterally from an opening j on the side surface of the coin unit d.

Therefore, when taking out the coin cassette h, first pull the coin unit d out of the transaction machine main body a, and outside the machine, pull out the cassette storage case i loaded with the coin cassette h to the side and store it. Take out the coin cassette h from case i. Also, when installing the coin cassette h, the cassette storage case i is pulled out from the side of the coin unit d pulled out of the machine and loaded.

By the way, the coin unit d and bill unit e are arranged on the left and right as shown in FIG. Since it opens toward the side, there is always enough space for the storage case i to be taken in and taken out.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, as shown in FIG. 11, there is also an automatic transaction machine that employs a layout in which the coin unit d having the above configuration is replaced with the banknote unit e and the installation position is reversed. If the coin unit d described above is adopted in this model, the following problems will occur.

In other words, when the coin unit d is pulled out of the transaction machine main body a as shown in FIG. Since there is not enough space to pull out the cassette storage case i from the unit d, the coin cassette h cannot be taken out.

For this reason, the locations where automatic transaction machines of that type can be installed are regulated. Furthermore, if this is not possible, it is necessary to install it away from the wall surface k, and in this case, the space cannot be used effectively, and the number of installed units decreases, resulting in a decline in service.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to create a structure in which the space for pulling out the storage case from the built-in unit can be selected in either the left or right direction, so that it can be used regardless of its arrangement. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a built-in unit loading/unloading device.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a built-in unit removal/removal device in which the built-in unit can be freely taken out and taken out from the device main body. a built-in unit, a first guide means for guiding and moving the built-in unit in a left-right direction intersecting with a direction in which the built-in unit is pulled out, a cassette storage case provided in a case of the built-in unit, and the cassette storage case. The device further includes a second guide means for guiding relative movement of the built-in unit in a left-right direction crossing the direction in which the built-in unit is pulled out.

(Function) According to the above structure, even if the built-in unit is installed in either the left or right position, the space for pulling out the storage case from the built-in unit can be freely selected in the direction in which it is pulled out.

Therefore, the device can be installed even if it is placed close to a wall. Installation space can be used effectively. In addition, there is no need to take a troublesome procedure for taking out the product, and it can be easily handled.

A coin unit 14 correspondingly performs a coin withdrawal process, a banknote unit 15 that performs a banknote withdrawal process corresponding to the banknote withdrawal port 86,
A control unit 16 that controls the operation of the automatic transaction machine 1 is incorporated. Each of the above units 12, 13, 14, 1
5.16 is inserted into and taken out from an opening 17 formed on the back side of the transaction machine main body 2. A pair of left and right rear doors 18, 18 that open double doors are provided on the back side of the transaction machine main body 2.

The coin unit 14 and the banknote unit 15 are arranged side by side. The same applies to the passbook unit 12 and the slip unit 13. The control unit 16 is installed below the coin unit 14. In addition, each of the above units 12.13
, 14, 15, and 16 are each guided by a drawer rail and pushed into a predetermined position within the transaction machine main body 2, and are also pulled out of the transaction machine main body 2.

Next, using the coin unit 14 as an example, the configuration of its insertion/removal device will be specifically explained.

That is, the coin unit 14 is provided so as to be freely drawn out from the back opening 17 of the transaction machine main body 2 of the automatic transaction machine 1 by means of a pair of left and right drawer support rails 19 and 19.

This support rail 19.19 consists of two rail members 21, and a transfer ball is interposed between the two rail members 21 so that one of the rail members 21 can be pulled out.

Further, a base 22 is attached between the left and right rail members 21 pulled out in front of the support rails 19 and 19. The coin unit 14 is slidably supported by the drawer support rails 19.19, and is provided so as to be freely drawn out from the rear opening 17 of the transaction machine main body 2.

Furthermore, the coin unit 14 has a cassette storage case 25 in which a coin cassette 24 is loaded inside the case body 23, and this cassette storage case 25 has the following features:
It is designed to be pulled out to the left side from a side opening 26 of the case body 23. That is, a first guide means is provided between the coin unit 14 and the side of the base 22 that holds the coin unit 14 to guide the movement of the case body 23 in the left-right direction. As shown in FIG. 6, this first guide means consists of a side drawer external rail 27a, and is configured to guide the movement of the outer case 23 in the left and right direction orthogonal to the direction in which the coin unit 14 is pulled out. It has become.

Further, there is a gap between the case body 23 and the cassette storage case 25 incorporated therein, so that the case body 23 and the cassette storage case 25 can be moved relative to each other in the left and right direction perpendicular to the direction in which the coin unit 14 is pulled out. A second guide means for guiding is inserted. There is. This second guide means consists of a side drawer inner rail 27b, as shown in FIG.

Note that the side drawer outer rail 27a and the side drawer inner rail 27b are composed of two rail members, similar to the drawer support rails 19 and 19 described above, and a rolling ball is installed between these two rail members. sliding one rail member with respect to the other rail member with interposition,
It is designed to act as a guide.

Further, a fixing plate 28 for fixing the cassette storage case 25 is attached to the base 22. A handle portion 29 is provided on the upper surface of the case body 23 of the coin unit 14 for use in moving the case body 23 in the left-right direction.

The cassette storage case 25 also includes a drawer key 3.
0 is set. The drawer key 30 can be locked into a key receiving part (not shown) provided on the case body 23 side when the cassette storage case 25 is in a predetermined storage position with respect to the case body 23. The cassette storage case 25 is fixed at that position. Therefore, the case body 23 is also fixed to the base 22 side.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, the coin unit 14 has a coin withdrawal port 31 formed at one end of the upper surface of the case body 23, and the coins inserted into the coin withdrawal port 31 are sequentially transferred to the receiving section 32. The coins are taken in through the inspection section 32 and sorted and stored in the denomination stacker 33 of the coin cassette 24. Further, when coins are to be withdrawn, the coins are taken out from the stacker 33 for each denomination 10 and sent to the coin withdrawal port 31 through the inspection section 32.

Next, the operation when the coin unit 14 is taken in and taken out in the built-in unit taking out/taking device having the above structure will be explained. First, the rear door 18.1g is opened to open the opening 17 on the back side of the transaction machine main body 2. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the coin unit 14 stored in the transaction machine main body 2 is pulled out of the machine along the support rails 19, 19. After that, as shown in FIG. 4, the drawer key 30 is released from the lock, and the handle 29 of the case body 23 is grasped to remove the case body 23 as shown by the arrow in FIGS. 1 and 4. Move it to the right as shown. By retracting the case body 23 to the side in this way, the cassette storage case 25 of the coin unit 14 is
As shown in the figure, it is exposed from the case body 23 and the upper part is open.

Therefore, the coin cassette 24 loaded in the cassette storage case 25 can be pulled up and taken out as shown in FIG.

11 Since the cassette storage case 25 is fixed to the fixing plate 28 on the base 22 side, when the case body 23 is moved to the right in FIG. 1, it does not move together with the case body 23 and remains at the initial position.

Therefore, after moving the entire coin unit 14 to the right side, there is no need to pull out the cassette storage case 25 from the case body 23 to its original position twice.

By the way, by leaving the cassette storage case 25 and moving only the case body 23 toward the center of the back opening 17 of the transaction machine main body 2, the upper opening of the cassette storage case 25 can be sufficiently opened.

Therefore, as shown in FIG.
The left side of the pulled-out coin unit 14 is so close to the wall 40 that the left door 18 cannot be opened sufficiently.
Even when installed close to the coin unit 14, the coin unit 14 can be easily put in and taken out.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the coin unit 14 and the bill unit 15 are arranged with the left and right sides reversed, the back of the case body 23 in the coin unit 14 is attached to the base by the fixing plate 28. Fix it on the 22 side. In other words, the case body 23 is fixed. Therefore, only the cassette storage case 25 can be pulled out to the left, leaving the case body 23, and the upper opening of the cassette storage case 25 can be fully opened.

Therefore, the coin unit 14 can be installed and used on either the left or right side.

In addition, although the coin unit 14 was specifically explained in the above embodiment, the same can be applied to other built-in units, such as units 12.13 and 15.16.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, even if the built-in unit is installed in either the left or right position, the space for pulling out the storage case from the built-in unit can be selected and installed in either the left or right direction. can. Therefore, the device can be installed even if it is placed close to a wall. Installation space can be used effectively13. Further, it can be handled without taking a troublesome procedure.
