Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the housing structure of the automatic cash transaction machine with small diameter of the box the and which is not turned over with out an anchor bolt when the inner parts of the box are pulled out. CONSTITUTION:The main part of a housing 1 is constructed by the thick plate of >=4.5mm thick ness and the housing itself becomes heavier. A member 4 in the opposite direction from the direction that the inner parts of the housing are pulled out is made by a special thick plate. Thus, the depth of the housing is small and it is not turned over without the anchor bolt so that the installation space can be small and the installation cost can be reduced. As the main part of the housing is thick and has sufficient strength, if the mechanism of opening and closing the door is reinforced, the reinforced housing can be obtained with the same dimension as the standard housing. The dimension occupying the housing is only the width of the plate so that the packaging dimension of the housing inside can be made large. The structure of the housing is simple and the production man-hour is reduced to make it inexpensive.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic teller machine for depositing and paying cash, and more particularly to a casing structure of an automatic teller machine which is small in size, has a small installation space, and is effective in preventing the device from falling over.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional automatic teller machine is a fall prevention method when a unit contained in a housing is pulled out, for example, by increasing the size of the housing in the direction of pulling out the unit or by anchoring the housing on the floor. It was fixed with bolts.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above prior art,
As a fall prevention method when the built-in case is pulled out to the front, for example, the size of the case in the pull-out direction of the unit is increased. However, this method naturally has a drawback that the installation size becomes large. Further, if the above-mentioned dimensions cannot be increased, there is a possibility of falling, and as a method for preventing this, it was necessary to fix the housing to the floor with anchor bolts. For this reason, it is necessary to make holes for anchor bolts on the floor of the installation place, and if the floor is, for example, an expensive marble floor, the owner will not like it. Further, there is a drawback in that it takes a lot of man-hours for drilling work and the installation cost becomes expensive.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art, to provide a housing structure that has a small installation size and does not require anchor bolts to be fixed.

[0005]

The above object can be achieved by adding the following structure to the housing of the automatic teller machine. That is, the main part of the housing is made of a thick plate to make the housing itself heavy. In addition, the member in the direction opposite to the direction in which the built-in component of the housing is pulled out is composed of a thick plate.

[0006]

The main part of the housing is made of a thick plate to make the housing heavy. In addition, since the member in the direction opposite to the direction in which the built-in component of the housing is pulled out is composed of a thick plate, the reversal inclining moment becomes large.

As a result, even if the size of the housing in the pull-out direction of the built-in product is not increased and the housing is not fixed to the floor with anchor bolts, the reversal overturning moment with respect to the overturning moment generated when the built-in product is pulled out. Is large enough that there is no danger of tipping over with just the housing itself.

Since the main part of the housing is a thick plate, it itself becomes a sufficient strength member even if there is no column or reinforcement as a strength member. Therefore, by strengthening the locking part and the hinge part of the main body and the opening / closing part, without changing the external dimensions of the case, a standard case that does not consider crime prevention performance,
It can be a reinforced enclosure that needs consideration. Therefore, no additional work such as installing a protective case for protecting the housing is required, which is very convenient.

Further, since the size of the strength member is smaller than the conventional size, the mountable size inside the housing can be increased accordingly.

Furthermore, the case structure is extremely simple, the number of parts is small, and the number of manufacturing steps is low, so that an inexpensive case can be obtained.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The case structure of an automatic teller machine will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is an external view of the automatic cash payment apparatus of the present invention.

As will be described later, in the case of this embodiment, the standard case that does not take crime prevention performance into consideration and the reinforced case that needs to be taken into consideration are compact and have the same dimensions of 450 mm wide and 450 mm deep, and Without fixing the housing to the floor with anchor bolts, the built-in units will not fall when pulled out.

In the figure, 1 is a housing body, 11 is a front door, 20 is a lock of the front door, and 12 is a front panel.

The front door 11 is opened and closed horizontally by a hinge (described later) on the right side of the main body. The front panel 12 is opened and closed vertically by a hinge (not shown) on the upper side of the main body. 13 is a guidance display, 14 is a keyboard, 15 is a statement issuing mechanism, 16
Is a card reader, and 17 is a bill payment mechanism for discharging bills.

A statement issuing mechanism 15, a card reader 16,
When maintaining the bill payment mechanism 17, first, the lock 20 is released, the front door 11 is opened to the right, and then the front panel is opened upward. A stopper to be described later is provided on the front panel to prevent it from falling.

Thereafter, each unit to be maintained is pulled out to the front side for maintenance. Reference numeral 10 is an adjuster bolt that supports the housing and adjusts the height from the floor.

FIG. 2 shows the structure of the housing body 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 (a) is a front view, FIG. 2 (b) is an AA sectional view, and FIG. 2 (c) is a BB sectional view. FIG. 2D is a plan view. FIG. 3 is a view showing the structure of the front door 11.

2 and 3, reference numerals 2 and 3 are left and right side plates, 4 is a back plate, 5 and 6 are reinforcing plates for connecting the left and right side plates, and 7 is a bottom plate. Reference numeral 8 is a hinge for holding and rotating the front door 11, and the hinge 22 of the front door 11 is fitted therein. Reference numeral 9 is a bracket for holding a lock 21 for locking the front door 11 to the main body, and the lock 21 is locked by inserting the lock 21 into the hole 9a by a mechanism connected to the lock 20.

The housing body 1 includes left and right side plates 2, 3, a back plate 4,
The reinforcing plates 5 and 6 and the bottom plate 7 are composed of thick plates of 4.5 mm or more. The thickness of each member is determined by the reversal inversion moment required for the overturning moment that occurs when each unit is pulled out. In addition, for the back plate 4 in the direction opposite to each unit to be pulled out, a plate thicker than other parts is used.

FIG. 4 shows a fall relationship when the housing and each unit are pulled out. For example, the bill payment mechanism 17 (weight W
The fall moment M1 generated when 1) is pulled out to the left side of the figure uses the adjuster bolt 10 as a fulcrum,
If the distance from the adjuster bolt 10 to the center of gravity of the bill paying mechanism 17 is L1, then W1 × L1. On the other hand, the reversal tilting moment M2 is W2 × L2, where W2 is the total weight of the housing main body and the built-in components of the housing and L2 is the distance from the adjuster bolt 10 to the center of gravity. Of course, in order not to fall, M1 <M2 may be set.

There are various methods for preventing the fall as described below.

(1) The depth dimension of the housing is lengthened, that is, L2 is increased to increase the inversion tilting moment M2. However, this method has a drawback that the installation dimension is large because the depth dimension is long.

(2) The housing is fixed to the floor with anchor bolts. However, with this method, it is necessary to make holes for anchor bolts in the floor of the installation site, and if the floor is, for example, an expensive marble floor, it will be disliked by the owner. In addition, there is a disadvantage that the number of man-hours required for drilling is high and the installation cost is high.

(3) The case is made heavy. That is, W2 is set large and the reversal inversion moment M2 is set large. This method is used to reduce the depth dimension of the housing to prevent it from falling, and there are the following methods.

(A) A weight is placed on the housing.

When the housing is made of a thin plate (thickness: 1 to 3 mm), the weight is insufficient, so that it is necessary to mount a weight. However, this method has a drawback in that the number of parts of the entire housing increases. That is, when the housing is made of a thin plate, it is necessary to bend it into a rectangular cross section with a width of 20 to 30 mm and a depth of about 50 to 60 mm to form a pillar or to fix a corresponding reinforcing member by welding in order to obtain strength. There is.
Further, since the weight is placed on this, the number of parts is increased, and the number of manufacturing steps is increased. Further, since the size of the pillar as the strength member is relatively large, the mountable size inside the housing is correspondingly reduced.

(B) The case itself is made of a thick plate to make it heavy. As in this embodiment, the left and right side plates 2 and 3, the back plate 4, the reinforcing plates 5 and 6, and the bottom plate 7 are made of thick plates of 4.5 mm or more. The thickness of each member is determined by the reversal inversion moment required for the overturning moment that occurs when each unit is pulled out. In addition, the back plate 4 (that is, the adjuster bolt 10 in the opposite direction to each unit to be pulled out).
The distance L3 from the center of the back plate 4 to the center of gravity of the back plate 4 is large), it is possible to increase the reversal inclining moment by using a plate thicker than other portions.

According to this method, the members of each casing are
Since it is composed of a thick plate of 5 mm or more, it is sufficient to simply cut the thick plate in terms of strength, that is, there is no need for columns or reinforcement as a strength member, it is extremely simple and has a small number of parts, and welding is also possible. The total number of man-hours required can be reduced.

Further, since there is no pillar or reinforcement as a strength member, the size that occupies the housing is only the plate thickness, and the mountable size inside the housing is correspondingly increased.

Further, since each member constituting the main body is sufficient in strength, the hinge 8 portion of the main body 1 and the hinge 22 portion of the front door 11 described above are strengthened, and the main body 1
Bracket 9 part and front door 11 Kannuki 2
By strengthening the one part, the locking part and the hinge part of the main body and the front door can be strengthened, so that it is possible to provide a reinforced case with high crime prevention performance without increasing the outer dimensions of the case. That is, it is possible to make the standard type housing that does not consider the crime prevention performance and the reinforced type housing that need to be considered the same size. Therefore, both cases can be selected without worrying about the installation size, and no additional work such as installing a protective case for protecting the case is required, which is very convenient.

FIG. 5 shows a safety mechanism which prevents the front panel 12 from dropping after the front panel 12 is opened upward. FIG. 5A shows a state in which the front panel is opened upward and the stopper prevents the front panel from falling.
5B shows a state in which the front panel is slightly raised with respect to FIG. 5A, and FIG. 5B shows a state in which the front panel is closed.

In the figure, 26 is a stopper A, one of which is fixed to the front panel 12 by a pin 25, and the other of which is a pin 27 which slides in a groove 28a of a bracket 28 fixed to the main body 1. 29 is a stopper B, one of which is fixed to the front panel 12 by a pin 31, and the other of which the pin 30 slides in the groove 26a of the stopper A26.

This safety mechanism will be described. When the front panel is opened upward from the closed state, the pin 27 of the stopper A26 slides in the groove 28a of the bracket 28, and the pin 30 of the stopper B29 slides in the groove 26a of the stopper A26.
Slide. Finally, as shown in FIG.
The pin 27 of the stopper A26 is notched 28b in the groove 28a.
Prevents the front panel from falling when it is fitted into.

As a conventional fall prevention safety mechanism, only the mechanism of the stopper A can exert its function, as shown in FIG. 5B. For example, as shown in FIG. When the front panel is lifted at the part, the pin 27 of the stopper A26 is cut into the groove 28a.
It comes off from 8b. Therefore, in this state, if the clerk leaves the housing, the front panel may drop, which is dangerous.

In the present embodiment, the mechanism of the stopper B portion described above is added to prevent such a danger. That is, when the front panel is raised as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the pin 30 of the stopper B29 is in the position to be fitted into the notch 26b of the groove 26a, so that the pin 27 of the stopper A26 should be in the groove 28a. When the stopper A26 tries to move to the left side in FIG. 5B when it comes off from the notch 28b, the pin 30 of the stopper B29 moves into the groove 26a.
Since it fits in the notch 26b, the stopper B29 can prevent the front panel from falling.

When closing the front panel, see FIG.
5b, raise the front panel a little as shown in FIG. 5B and insert the pin 27 of the stopper A26 into the groove 28a.
8b, and the end of the stopper B29 is raised so that the pin 30 does not fit into the notch 26b of the groove 26a.

As described above, the case of this embodiment includes a standard case that does not take crime prevention performance into consideration and a reinforced case that requires consideration.
It is compact and has the same dimensions of width 450 x depth 450 mm, and it does not fall over even if each built-in unit is pulled out without fixing the housing to the floor with anchor bolts.

Further, since there is no pillar or reinforcement as a strength member, the housing can be made extremely simple and has a small number of parts, and has a small number of manufacturing steps as a whole. Moreover, the size that occupies the housing is only required to be the plate thickness, so that the mountable size inside the housing is correspondingly increased.

Further, since a stopper mechanism for preventing the front panel from falling is provided, it is safe.

[0041]

As described above, the following effects can be obtained by adopting the housing structure according to the present invention.

(1) The main part of the housing is made of a thick plate having a thickness of 4.5 mm or more, and the thickness of the back plate in the direction opposite to the direction in which each unit incorporated in the housing is pulled out Since it is made larger than the portion, it is possible to make the housing not to fall even if the depth dimension is small. Therefore, the installation space is small.

(2) It is possible to make the housing not fall over even if it is not fixed to the floor with anchor bolts. Therefore, it is not necessary to make holes for anchor bolts on the floor of the installation site, so the installation cost is low.

(3) Since the main part of the casing is a thick plate having a thickness of 4.5 mm or more, strength is sufficient without the need for a pillar or reinforcement as a strength member. Therefore, by strengthening the lock part and the hinge part of the main body and the front door, the standard type and the reinforced type casing can be obtained without changing the outer dimensions of the casing.

(4) Since the main part of the housing is a thick plate with a thickness of 4.5 mm or more, no pillar or reinforcement as a strength member is required, so the mountable size inside the housing is correspondingly increased. can do.

(5) The housing structure is extremely simple, the number of parts is small, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
