Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a shutter lock mechanism for a storage box installed in an automatic transaction device, and is particularly suitable for a storage box for valuables such as cash and checks. Regarding.

[Background of the invention]

When a storage box for valuables such as cash and checks is attached to an automatic transaction device, its shutter is opened for the first time, and the valuables are mechanically separated from the shutter. If the shutter attached to the storage box were accidentally opened, there would be a security problem.

[Purpose of the invention]

In consideration of the above point K, the present invention provides a locking mechanism for a storage box in which the shutter attached to the storage box cannot be opened when the storage box is used alone.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention provides a lever that moves to open the shutter, a blocking position that prevents movement of this lever, and a non-blocking position FltK.
The present invention is characterized in that it has a movable lock body, and when it is attached to a storage box or an automatic transaction device, the lock body is moved to a non-blocking position by magnetic force.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. FIG. 1 shows the state of nine storage boxes 1 removed from the (automated transaction) device. 1m is the lid of the storage box, and the clerk opens this lid, loads banknotes, closes the lid, and locks it with a lock. The storage box 1 is made of non-magnetic material. In FIG. 1, the shutter 2 rotates in the direction of arrow C to open the outlet 1b for storing banknotes, with the shutter fulcrum 8 as the center of rotation.
Rotate in the opposite direction to close. A pin 5 is fitted into a hook portion 4 of the shutter 2, and prevents the shutter 2 from opening freely. The bottle 5 is integrated with the lever 6,
It is pivotally supported on the upholstery lever 9 with the lever fulcrum 7 as the center of rotation. The lever 6 is pulled in one direction (rightward in the figure) by a spring 8 whose one end is fixed to the storage box 1.

Only when the shutter 2 closes, apply pressure so as not to escape in the direction of the arrow and prevent the shutter 2 from closing.

The lock 14 is pressed in the direction of arrow E (clockwise) K by a torsion spring 16, with the lock fulcrum 15 provided in the storage box IK as the center of rotation. In the state shown in FIG. 1, even if the toilet lever 9 is pushed in the direction of arrow F, a part of the toilet lever 9 hits the lock 14 and cannot be moved. Therefore, since the bottle 5 also does not come off the hook portion 4 of the shutter 2, the shutter 2 does not open.

FIG. 8 shows the storage box 1 loaded into the device. 8th
In the figure, the magnet 18 on the device side and the magnet 17 on the lock 14 have the same polarity, and the lock 14 is pushed up in the direction of arrow G by the magnetic counterforce between them. Therefore, in this case, it is possible to push the wash lever 9 in the direction of the arrow F, and as it is pushed in the direction of the arrow F, the bottle 5 comes off from the hook part 4 of the shutter 2, and the roller 11 on the link IO moves to the link fulcrum 12. is pushed up with the center of rotation as the center of rotation.

The shutter 2 is pushed up in the direction of arrow C by the link IO, and the shutter 2 is opened.

The magnet 17 on the lock 14 and the magnet 13 on the device side are arranged to face each other only when the storage box 1 is loaded in a fixed position on the device, and only in this case can the shutter 2 be opened. That is, the magnetic poles and arrangement of the magnet are the key to opening the shutter. In this example, the number of magnets is 2.
Although the number of magnets is shown as an example, it is also possible to increase the number of magnets. Also, when the permanent magnet inside the storage box is loaded into the device,
Since it will be close to the device 111, the location where magnetic material is used as the material for constructing the device must be appropriately selected.

It is necessary to prevent negative effects* (attraction) on the above-mentioned permanent magnets.

It is also possible to use the attractive force between two magnets, but
If the storage box is installed on a magnetic material (for example, a steel plate), the lock may be attracted and the shutter lock mechanism may come off, so this example shows a case where magnetic counter-challenging force is used.

When two magnets with different polarities are used to utilize their attraction, the rear end of the lock 14 is extended opposite the fulcrum 150, and a permanent magnet is provided at this rear end. When the storage box is used as a single unit, the lock 14 is biased to the state shown in FIG. When attracted, the lock 14 rotates counterclockwise, and is configured to be in the state shown in FIG. In this example, since the permanent magnets have different polarities, both magnets attract each other in the loaded state, resulting in little deterioration of magnetic force.

Furthermore, as another embodiment, the operating order of the plurality of locks 14 provided on the storage box is determined, and the double-ended locks 14 and the corresponding levers 9 are interlocked so that the shutter opens only when the locks 14 are operated in this order. I'll let you. The positions of the permanent magnets on the device side are shifted and arranged so that when the storage box is loaded into the device, the locks in the storage box are operated in the above order by the permanent magnets on the one device side. According to this configuration, the operation procedure becomes more complicated, so it is difficult to open the shutter of the storage box alone. Int1 rabbit, safety, one car (51k-suya.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, since the key to open the lid of the storage box is not used, the inner cone is used to dump the items stored in the storage box, so the safety when the storage box is used alone is improved. improves.

Claims (1)

[Claims] A shutter that opens and closes the outlet for stored items, a lever that is movable between an open position and a closed position to open and close the shutter, and a blocking position that prevents the lever from moving to the open position and a blocking position that does not prevent the lever from moving.
