Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a mechanism to slowly control movement of a bank note presser plate in the pressing direction. CONSTITUTION:A one-way rotary damper 8 is fitted to a drive pulley 6 which synchronizes with movement of a presser plate 1 in the pressing direction. This rotary damper 8 is provided with the function to control the presser plate 1 so as to slowly move in the pressing direction even at releasing from the condition of pulling backward the presser plate 1, and meanwhile when the presser plate 1 is pulled backward, namely in the anti-pressing direction, free rotation of the drive pulley 6 is allowed so as to quickly move it.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bill pressing plate control mechanism for an automatic teller machine, and more particularly to a mechanism for controlling movement of a pressing plate in a bill pressing direction.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A safe in a conventional automatic teller machine is
The bill pressing plate housed in the case is biased in the plate thickness direction by a biasing means such as a spring, thereby pressing the bill in a fixed direction.

[0003]

However, since the conventional pressing plate has no means for restricting the urging force of the spring, the pressing plate is accidentally released when the bills are set in the safe. If the user presses the release button of the lock mechanism for temporarily stopping the movement of the pressing plate, the pressing plate will move vigorously due to the spring pressure of the spring and the operator's finger or the like will be caught. There was an inconvenience.

Further, since the temporary stop mechanism of the pressing plate is normally released when the lid of the safe is closed, if the lid is closed while the pressing plate is pulled to the rear position which is the direction of the biasing force, the pressing mechanism is pressed. The plate moves vigorously to the front, hits the front part of the safe, and the impact may cause the pressing plate to be deformed or damaged, or the mechanical parts of the front part may be deformed. there were.

[0005]

It is an object of the present invention to improve the inconvenience of the conventional example, and particularly to prevent the pressing plate from unintentionally moving in the banknote pressing direction when the banknote is set by pulling the pressing plate to the rear part, It is an object of the present invention to provide a bill pressing plate control mechanism for an automatic teller machine, which is expected to effectively avoid damage to the pressing plate or the front part mechanism in the safe.

[0006]

A bill pressing plate control mechanism of an automatic teller machine according to the present invention includes a pressing plate disposed in a case and a guide shaft for guiding the pressing plate so that the pressing plate can move in the plate thickness direction. And an urging means for urging the pressing plate in the bill pressing direction, and an operation part for performing a predetermined operation in synchronization with the movement of the pressing plate, and the operation part moves the pressing plate by the urging means. The method is to install a unidirectional rotary damper to reduce the speed. This is intended to achieve the above-mentioned object.

[0007]

When the pressing plate moves to the front part in the plate thickness direction by the urging means, the movement of the damper reduces the moving speed so that the moving speed becomes slow, while when the pressing plate is pulled backward, the damper operates. The rearward movement can be done early without doing this.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a top view of this embodiment, and FIG. 2 shows a side view thereof. In these figures, the pressing plate 1
Are fixed to the carrier 2. The carrier 2 is guided by the guide shaft 3 so as to be movable in the axial direction of the guide shaft 3, so that the pressing plate 1 is also movable in the plate thickness direction. One end of a spring 4 as an urging means is connected to the carrier 2.
The spring 4 is inverted halfway through a spring pulley 9 and the other end is connected to the case A. As a result, the carrier 2 and the pressing plate 1 are always spring-biased to the front part of the case A to transfer the bill. It is designed to be pressed.

A belt 7 stretched between a tensioner pulley 5 and a drive pulley 6 constituting an operating portion is located on the side of the carrier 2, and a part of the belt 7 is attached to the carrier 2. It is provided so that the moving operation of the carrier 2 and the rotating operation of the drive pulley 6 are connected and synchronized.

A unidirectional rotary damper 8 is supported on the shaft of the drive pulley 6, and this damper 8 is
When the rotational force is applied clockwise in FIG. 2, the rotation of the drive pulley 6 is gently restricted, while when the force is applied counterclockwise, the drive pulley 6 is allowed to rotate at high speed. It is supposed to do. That is, the drive pulley 6 has a built-in one-way clutch and is configured to maintain the clutch in a free state when a rotational force is applied in the counterclockwise direction.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

When the hand is released from the state where the carrier 2 and the pressing plate 1 are pulled rearward, the carrier 2 tries to move to the front by the spring force of the spring 4, and the drive pulley 6 and the rotary damper 8 are synchronized with this. Although it tries to rotate clockwise, the pressing plate 1 moves to the front part at a low speed due to the action of the one-way clutch of the drive pulley 6. On the other hand, when pulling the pressing plate 1 from the front to the rear,
The one-way clutch becomes free to allow quick movement.

[0014]

Since the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, according to this, when the banknotes are accidentally released from the pressing plate or when the banknotes are set in the case, they are pressed. Even if the lock release button of the plate suspension mechanism is pressed, there is the effect that there is no risk of pinching your hand with the pressing plate, and even if the pressing plate hits the front part, a collision occurred. To provide a pressing plate control mechanism for an automatic teller machine, which does not cause an impact as sometimes seen, and therefore can effectively protect the pressing plate or a related mechanism in the case from damage, which has an unprecedented excellent effect. You can
