Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a banknote receiving box that receives banknotes inserted into, for example, a vending machine, an automatic money changer, an automatic deposit machine, etc. in order to collect them.

The above-mentioned banknote receiving box is formed into a cartridge type, and when a set amount of banknotes is accepted, it is removed from the main body of the device and carried to a cash management center.

When carrying this banknote receiving box, if the banknotes stored inside the box are simply pressed by the biasing force of the spring, the vibration of carrying loosens the pressure and moves the banknotes, causing their storage posture to collapse. Thereafter, when the banknotes are removed from the box and placed in an automatic counter, it is necessary to rearrange the banknotes, which has the disadvantage that the work cannot be done quickly.

Therefore, this invention is capable of fixing the banknotes stored in the bill receiving box without changing their storage position, and also automatically fixing the banknotes by removing the bill receiving box from the main body of the device. The purpose is to provide a banknote receiving box that can accept banknotes.

According to this invention, the retaining piece provided on the sliding body for pressing the banknotes against one side of the box engages with the rod, thereby preventing the movement of the sliding body for pressing the banknotes, and the banknotes are Since it is in a fixed state, the bill receiving box can be carried without disturbing the stored state of the stored bills due to vibrations at that time.

Furthermore, when the bill receiving box is removed from the main body of the device, the locking piece and the comb rod are automatically engaged because the comb rod, which had been moved to the non-engaged position by the release pin, is moved to the engaged position by force. Therefore, no engagement operation is required, and the stored banknotes can be kept in a fixed state with the banknote receiving box closed.

An embodiment of this invention having such characteristics will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

The drawing shows, for example, a banknote receiving box for receiving banknotes inserted into an automatic money changer for collection.

In Fig. 1, the banknote receiving box is formed by a top plate 1, a bottom plate 2, and a side plate 3 surrounding these, and the side plate 3 on the front side is opened and closed by hinges 4, 4. A lid body 5 is hinged, and this lid body 5 is closed by a magnet 6.6 provided inside, and is opened when taking out banknotes stored inside.

The shutter 7 closes the receiving opening formed in the bottom plate 2 when the banknote receiving box is carried, and when not in use, is held by attracting to a magnet 8 provided on the side plate 3 on one end side. When in use, it is inserted into the insertion part 9.

Note that 10 is a handle, which is used when carrying the device.

2 to 5, a horizontally elongated receiving opening 11 is formed in the center of the bottom plate 2, and this receiving opening 11 is formed to have a width smaller than the banknotes to be stored, and is attached to the main body of the device. At this time, the bill is pushed up and stored by a pushing rod 12 provided on the main body of the device.

Two sliding rods 13 are provided between the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2 on one side of the bill receiving box outside the position where the bills are stored.
14 are provided, and a sliding body 15 is provided on these sliding rods 13, 14 so as to be vertically slidable.

Note that 16 is a slide bearing, and 17 is a slide core, both of which are attached to the sliding body 15.

Further, 18 and 19 are upper and lower fixing members that support both ends of the aforementioned sliding rods 13 and 14.

A pressing plate 20 is fixed to the above-mentioned sliding body 15, and this pressing plate 20 faces the receiving opening 11 of the bottom plate 2.

The pressing plate 20 moves upward together with the sliding body 15 when a banknote is pushed up from the receiving opening 11 on the lower side, and when the pushing is finished, the pressing plate 20 pushes the banknote by its own weight into the receiving opening 11 of the bottom plate 2.
Press around the edges.

A weight rod 21 is located parallel to the aforementioned sliding rods 13 and 14,
The upper and lower ends of this comb rod 21 are opposite fixing members 18.1.
It is rotatably pivotally connected to pins 22 and 22 of No. 9, and is biased against a stopper 24 by a spring 23.

The above-mentioned comb rod 21 is formed with comb teeth 25, and an engagement piece 26 is engaged with and disengaged from the comb teeth 25.

The above-mentioned retaining piece 26 is fixed to a shaft 27 which is supported by the above-mentioned sliding body 15, and an operating piece 28 is fixed to the other end of this shaft 27.

As shown in FIG. 6, the above-mentioned actuating piece 28 has a pin 29 located off the axis of the shaft 27, and this pin 29 is a pin of the support member 30 fixed to the upper surface of the slider 15. 31
The lever 32 is in contact with the lever 32 which is pivotally connected to the lever 32 .

The operating portion 33 of the lever 32 described above is located on the lid body 5 side and faces a knob 34 provided on the side surface of the sliding body 15.

The lever 32 mentioned above is urged by a spring 35 in the non-operating direction.

The lever 32 mentioned above is operated to disengage the engagement piece 26 from the comb teeth 25 of the comb rod '21, and by pulling up the operating part 33 towards the knob 34,
The pin 29 of the operating piece 28 is operated at the other end of the lever 32 to rotate the shaft 27, and the engaging piece 26 is removed from the comb teeth 25.

A contact piece 36 is connected to the lower end of the comb rod 21 described above, and a pin hole 3 is formed in the side plate 3 facing the contact piece 36.
7 is drilled.

This pin hole 37 is provided so as to come into contact with a release pin 38 provided on the device main body side when the bill receiving box is attached to the device main body such as an automatic money changer. 21 is rotated to a position where it does not engage with the engagement piece 25.

Note that 39 is a lock pin provided on the device main body side, which locks the bill receiving box when the bill receiving box is attached to the device main body.

When the bill receiving box configured as described above is attached to the main body of the device, the receiving box is locked by the lock pin 39, and the release pin 38 comes into contact with the contact piece 36 of the comb rod 21 through the pin hole 37. The lever 21 is rotated to a position where it does not mesh with the engaging piece 26.

Therefore, the banknotes pushed through the receiving opening 11 by the pushing rod 12 are stored by pushing up the pressing plate 20, and when the pushing rod retreats, the banknotes are pushed by the weight of the pressing plate 20 and the sliding body 15 to the rim of the receiving opening 11, that is, the bottom plate. Pressed to 2.

When the bill storage reaches a set amount and the bill receiving box is to be removed, the lock pin 39 is released and the box is pulled out.

At this time, the release pin 38 is separated from the contact portion 36 of the comb rod 21, so that the comb rod 21 is rotated by the biasing force of the spring 23 to a position where it engages with the retaining piece 26.

Therefore, the sliding body 15 and the pressing plate 20 are locked, so that when the bill receiving box is carried, the stored bills will not be damaged by vibration.

Note that when carrying the bill receiving box, the receiving opening 11 of the bottom plate 2 is closed by the shirt tough.

To take out stored banknotes, open the lid 5 and then operate the lever 32 to remove the comb rod 21 and the engaging piece 2.
6 is disengaged, and in that state, the press plate 20 is moved to the top plate 1.
Bills can be taken out by sliding them.
