Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a banknote storage device that stores banknotes in a million yen hole, counts the number of banknotes, and displays the number of banknotes.

In supermarkets, department stores, etc., mechanical or electronic cash registers are used for multiple purposes as accounting machines, and cash earned during business hours is stored in drawers inside the cash registers.

The drawer is drawn out when money is exchanged due to sales, etc., and is always drawn out to 1 when the money exchange is busy.

This drawer stores all kinds of coin buttons and banknotes, from 1 yen coins to 10,000 yen bills, and there is a very high risk of theft, and if the banknotes are stolen, the damage will be quite large. .

In order to prevent such theft, the present invention stores banknotes such as 10,000 yen bills separately from other coins and banknotes in a unit so that they cannot be taken out under normal conditions, and also counts the number of banknotes when storing them. The bill storage device is configured to display the bill, the unit is housed in an outer box, and the unit is configured to be taken out by operating a key, and the unit is further configured to have a lid that can be opened and closed by operating the key. This is what we provide.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Figure 1 a) k), C! j' and FIG. 2 show the outer box, the unit, and a simple cross section thereof.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an outer box having at least one opening, and one end of the upper surface 2 and one end of one side surface 3 that does not intersect with the upper surface 2 protrudes, and a hole 4 is provided in each.

Alternatively, the upper surface 2 or both ends of the side surfaces 30 may be made to protrude and the holes 4 may be provided therein.

Such an outer box 1 is installed under a desk or the like with screws etc. through the holes 4.
Although it can be directly attached by welding or the like, it can also be replaced by directly providing an opening in a cash register or the like as long as it accommodates the unit 5, which will be described later.

The unit 5 is for storing and storing banknotes, counting the number of banknotes, and displaying the number of stored banknotes.A locking piece 8 is connected to the inside of the outer case 1 by operating a key to be described later. When engaged, it is housed so that it can be taken out freely.

On the front side of the unit 5, there is a bill receiving hole 6, a counting display section 7 for displaying the number of bills, a key hole 9 for making a locking piece 8 appear and retract from the side, and an AC outlet for a commercial power source. 10 are provided.

The count display section I may be a counter with a mechanically driven number wheel, or a counter with a display using an LED, liquid crystal, or the like.

The AC outlet 10 may not be provided if the power source is built in, and there is no problem in providing it on another surface instead of the front.

On the rear surface, there is a lid 11 that can be opened and closed with a hinge or the like for taking out stored banknotes, a keyhole 13 having a locking piece 12, and a lid for carrying the unit 5, although this is not limited thereto. A handle 14 is provided.

The lid 11 can be opened and closed by engaging the locking piece 12 with the hole 15 in the unit 5 by operating a key.

The inside of the unit 5 includes a passage 16 for passing banknotes following the banknote receiving hole 6, a detection and driving mechanism section 17 located below the passage 16, and a chamber connected to the banknote passage 16 for accommodating banknotes. It consists of 18.

The banknote path 16 includes a first photoelectric conversion element 20 for detecting the presence or absence of banknotes and driving a motor 19, and an adjacent roller 21 driven by the motor 19 via a belt 23.
and a second photoelectric conversion element 2 for counting the number of banknotes.
2 is provided.

The detection and drive mechanism section 17 includes a built-in power supply circuit or a power supply circuit using a commercial power supply, a drive circuit for emitting and receiving light for the first and second photoelectric conversion elements, and a drive circuit for driving the motor. A counting and display circuit for the sheet number display section 7 is provided.

Next, FIGS. 3, 4, and 5 show circuit diagrams.

The first photoelectric conversion element 20 is a pilot lamp 2 of a light emitting part.
4 and a phototransistor 25 of the light receiving section, and the second photoelectric conversion element 22 of the past similarly consists of a pilot lamp 26 and a phototransistor 27.

The present invention is not limited to this, and other light emitting elements and light receiving elements may be used.

Pilot lamps 24 and 26 are power transformers 45
Power is supplied directly from the secondary side and it is always lit.

The DC power that has been half-wave rectified by the diode 28 and the capacitor 29 is supplied to the motor 19 described above.

The DC power supply is half-wave rectified by the other diode 30 and capacitor 31, and is connected to the aforementioned counter display section 7 through the Zener diode 32 for constant tE and the transistor 33 for control.
DC power is further supplied to transistors 36 and 3T via a Zener diode 34 for constant voltage and a transistor 35 for control.

Phototransistors 25 and 27 receive light from pilot lamps 24 and 26, respectively, and are normally conductive.

As a result, both the outputs of the subsequent gates 38 and 39 go to the "L" level, and both outputs go to the "H" level.

Subsequent transistors 36 and 37 are therefore conductive;
When the collector voltage is at the "L" level, the motor 19 via the thyristor 40 and the counter 7 via the transistor 41
doesn't work.

The thyristor 40 is preferable to reduce turn-on delay when driving the motor.

When a bill is inserted into the bill receiving hole 6, the light to the phototransistor 25 is cut off, the input to the gate 38 becomes the °H'' level, and the output becomes L9 level.

The transistor 36 is non-conductive and the collector voltage is at the "H" level, which is supplied to the gate of the thyristor 40.
A conductive state is established, and the motor 19 rotates.

The rollers 21 via the belt 23 rotate with the rotation of the motor 19, and the banknotes are scraped between the rollers 21.

When the phototransistor 25 enters the light receiving state again, this operation stops.

Next, the pushed-in banknote blocks light to the phototransistor 27, and a similar operation causes the transistor 41 to be exposed to light.
When a base voltage is applied to the circuit, it becomes conductive, and the count display section T adds and counts "l".

When the phototransistor 27 enters the light receiving state again, it returns to its original state.

Counting can be reset mechanically or electrically.

Usually, the banknotes are reset or set after the banknotes are taken out from the unit 5, and the count display is set to zero.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the first photoelectric conversion element 20 can drive the motor 19 once and count the banknotes on the display section I. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to perform counting by driving one of the photoelectric conversion elements 20 or 22.

It is also possible to set the type of banknotes to be inserted in advance and to display the total amount of stored banknotes as the number of banknotes is counted.

The power supply circuit briefly described above is a constant voltage power supply except for supplying the pilot lamps 24 and 26, and at the same time provides compensation to prevent malfunctions when the power supply is switched on and off.

When using this device, when the power is set to RO NJ, the lighting of the pilot lamps 24 and 26 has a delay time at 1 until the maximum brightness is reached, as shown in FIG.
Since the voltage of the power supply to the button and various circuits takes a short time to reach the specified voltage, a miscount occurs in the count display 7.

This compensation is performed by delay-controlling the power supply to the counting display section 7 by the charging time of the capacitor 42 connected across the Zener diode 320, as shown in FIG.

Next, when the power is turned OFF due to the end of work, the pilot lamps 24 and 26 are immediately turned off as shown in FIG.
A miscount occurs because the charge of 2 persists before being discharged.

Therefore, this compensation is performed by early discharging the power supply voltage to the count display section 7 using the resistors 43 and 44, as shown in FIG.

As described above, the present invention provides a unit for storing banknotes, which has a lid that can be opened and closed with a key, inside the outer box so that it can be taken out by operating the key. Because it is set up so that it cannot be done,
It is possible to prevent theft as mentioned above, and to collect the cash, the unit can be removed from the outer box and carried as a whole.Also, since the number of cash is detected and displayed electrically, the number of cash can be easily detected and displayed. It can also display the amount of money, making it extremely useful.
