Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a banknote counting device in which banknotes are fed out and counted from a banknote storage box that is detachably attached to the main body of the banknote counting device.

Automatic teller machines 1 currency exchange machines installed in banks and the like have a built-in banknote counting device as described above, and this device operates in response to a customer's command.

Many of them are designed to eject a requested number of banknotes to a predetermined location.

Since these machines are usually placed at stores, bills to be paid are loaded in advance into a bill storage box, which is then carried and set.

In order to store the banknote storage box in the counting device main body, the banknote storage box is set at a predetermined position by sliding and pushing the banknote storage box along a guide member provided in the counting device main body. There is.

However, as mentioned above, the banknote storage box stored in the counting device body has a slight gap between it and the side plate of the counting device body, so it may move due to mechanical vibrations during counting and move from the specified position. There is a risk of it coming off.

If the setting position of the banknote storage box is unstable, it will cause problems in the counting operation.

This idea was made in view of the above circumstances, and the bill storage box is moved forward by stopper pieces provided on both side plates of the counting device and engaging protrusions that engage with the stopper pieces on the bill storage box. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bill counting device that can be stably stored in a predetermined position without moving or swinging in the lateral direction.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the figure, 1 is a counting device main body, and the inner walls of both side plates 2, 2 of this counting device main body 1 are provided with a sliding plate 3, a stopper piece 4,
A cam plate 5 and a cam plate 6 are respectively provided.

The stopper piece 4 consists of a front bent part 4a whose front end is bent forward and upward, a horizontal part 4b, and a rear bent part 4c whose rear part is bent backward and downward. The rear end of the portion 4c is further bent rearward and upward to form a pressing portion 4d.

This stopper piece 4 is attached to the horizontal portion 4 by the mounting member 4e.
It is attached to the side plate 2 so that b is parallel to the bottom surface of the counting device.

The sliding plate 3 is attached by a mounting member 3e parallel to the horizontal part 4b of the stopper piece 4 at a predetermined distance, and the front end of the sliding plate 3 is bent forward and downward to form a bent part. 3a is formed, and the others are horizontal portions 3b.

This sliding plate 3 has almost the same length as the stopper piece 4, and is attached slightly forward of the stopper piece 4, and a roller 7 is installed slightly forward of the front end of the sliding plate 4, and further, A roller 8 is attached to each side plate 2 slightly behind the rear end of the sliding plate 4.

This roller 7.8 is mounted at a position slightly higher than the extension of the horizontal portion 3b.

It should be noted that an appropriate material is mounted on the sliding plate 3 in order to allow the bill storage box to slide smoothly.

The cam plate 5 and the cam plate 6 are formed into a trapezoidal shape, have horizontal portions 5b and 6b, are arranged with inclined sides 5a and 6a facing each other, and have a cam groove 9 formed therein.

Rectangular parallelepiped-shaped banknote storage box 100 side panels
, 11 are provided with rollers 12, 12 as engaging protrusions.
is provided so as to be engaged with the lower surface of the stopper piece 4.4.

Next, the operation of storing the banknote storage box 10 in the counting device main body 1 will be explained.

First, the side plates 11, 11 of the banknote storage box 100 are aligned with the side plates 2, 2 of the counting device main body 1, and the front side of the bottom of the banknote storage box 10 is placed on the roller 7.7 and pressed. , bill storage box 10 by the action of rollers 7.7,
It is placed on the sliding plate 3 and moved to the rear of the counting body 1, and the rollers 12, 12 are placed on the horizontal part 4b of the stopper piece 4.
is engaged with the lower surface of the

At this time, since the sliding plate 3 has the bending part 3a, the bottom side of the banknote storage box 10 is placed on the sliding plate 3 without any resistance, and the casing and stopper piece 4 are Since the front bent portion 4a is provided, the rollers 12, 12 are engaged with the stopper piece 4 without any resistance.

Furthermore, the bill storage box 10 is moved backward, and the roller 12
．． 12 reaches the tooth-side bent portions 4c, 4c, the rollers 12, 12 reach the rear-side bent portions 4c.

4c is moved upward against the elastic force and passed as shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure, and when this passage is completed, it returns to the original state shown by the solid line.

In this way, the bill storage box 10 is stored in the counting device main body 1 in the state shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1, where it is placed on the rollers 7.7 and 8, 8.

This stored banknote storage box 10 is located at the rear bent portion 4c.
, 4c, the rollers 12, 12 are pressed rearward by the pressing portions 4d, 4c, so that they are reliably stored in a predetermined position without being moved unnecessarily.

As explained above, in this invention, a stopper piece is provided on the control plate of the main body of the counting device, and an engaging protrusion that engages with the stopper piece is attached to the banknote storage box side, so that when combined, the engaging protrusion is configured to be pressed by the elastic force of the stopper piece, so that the banknote storage box is reliably stored in a predetermined position.
There is no risk of being pushed forward unnecessarily.

In addition, since the banknote storage box is stored on rollers, when it swings laterally, the elasticity of the stopper piece exerts a restoring force and returns it to a predetermined position. It doesn't sway.

In addition, since the engaging and disengaging operation is performed by vertically deforming the stopper piece, the space required for the engaging and disengaging operation between the inside part of the counting device body and the outside part of the banknote storage box is reduced, and the counting device is This has the effect that the width dimension can be reduced.

Furthermore, since the banknote storage box is guided by a sliding plate that is separate from the part that performs the engaging and disengaging operation, there is an effect that stable withdrawal and insertion operations can be performed.
