Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (a) Field of the Invention The present invention provides, for example, in an automatic teller machine used in banking business, a coin pocket is formed in a customer service panel section, especially for coin transactions, and the coin pocket The present invention relates to an improvement in a coin transaction opening structure in which the pocket is opened and closed by a shutter and is provided with a hood outside the panel portion that covers the coin pocket.

(b) Background of the Invention The coin transaction structure in the automatic teller machine of the above example is as follows:
Conventionally, as shown in Fig. 6 or Fig. 7, a coin pocket 2 is provided in the customer service panel section 1, and when withdrawing money, the required coins are fed into the coin pocket 2 from inside the automatic teller machine, and when depositing money, the customer can insert the coins into the coin pocket 2. The coins inserted into the machine are taken into the automatic teller machine.

However, if the opening of the coin pocket 2 is wide open to the outside like the structure shown in Figure 6, when withdrawing money (to Figure 6)
It is easy to take out coins, and when depositing (Fig. 6B)
Although it is easy to insert coins into the automatic teller machine, it is also easy for dust such as dirt to enter the automatic teller machine, and as a result, this can cause a mechanical error.

In addition, the structure shown in Fig. 7 is equipped with a hood 4 that covers the outside of the coin pocket 2 to prevent the above-mentioned dust from entering, but when withdrawing coins (A in Fig. 7), the coins are removed. Since the inside of the coin pocket is difficult to see due to the hood 4, people forget to take out coins.

(C) Purpose of the Invention In view of the above points, this invention has been developed by covering the right upper part of the coin pocket with the above-mentioned hood to prevent dust from entering when depositing money, and by removing the cover by the hood and expanding the coin pocket to the outside when withdrawing money. By opening the coin pocket, it is easy to take out coins, and by linking this operation with the movement of the shutter that opens the coin pocket, it provides a coin transaction slot structure with a simplified structure. be.

(D) Summary of the Invention This invention enables a hood that covers a coin pocket outside a customer service panel to be recessed into the panel, and connects the rotating part of the hood to the drive system of the shutter opening/closing mechanism via a clutch. The coin transaction opening structure of the automatic transaction machine is characterized in that the clutch is turned on only in the withdrawal mode and the hood is rotated in the direction of recessing into the panel as the shutter is opened.

(E) Effect of Issue 1!11 According to this invention, when depositing coins, the hood protrudes outside the customer service panel and covers the area directly above the coin pocket, which prevents foreign matter such as dust from entering when depositing coins. When dispensing money, the clutch is turned on and the shutter opens the coin pocket, and the hood sinks into the customer service panel and the coin pocket is pushed outward, making it easy to take out coins and to remove coins. It makes it easier to see inside your pocket and prevents you from forgetting to take out coins.

Moreover, since the opening/closing of the hood is carried out by using the shutter opening/closing mechanism and its driving force by a clutch, the structure is simple and the coin transaction port structure of the present invention can be realized at low cost.

(F) Embodiment of the Invention An embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

A shutter 5 for opening and closing the entrance of the coin pocket 2 is installed on the lower side of the customer service panel part 1.

This shutter 5 has a drive pulley 6 and a driven pulley 7.
An arm 9 integrated with the shutter is fixed to a timing belt 8 passed over the bridge, and rotational force in the forward and reverse directions is selectively input to the drive pulley 6 through a mechanism not shown. Slide to open and close. Although not shown, a guide for the slide is provided.

On the other hand, a rotating shaft 11 is connected to the driven pulley 7 via an electromagnetic clutch 10, and a hood 12 is attached to the rotating shaft 11.

The hood 12 rotates according to the rotary sleeve 11 to move in and out of the customer service panel section, and in the protruding state covers the area directly above the coin pocket 2, as shown by the solid line in FIG.

The electromagnetic clutch 10 mentioned above is turned on during the dispensing operation, inputs the rotational force of the driven pulley 7 to the rotating shaft 11, and transfers the torque to the hood 12.
The hood 12 is immersed in the customer service panel part 1 and turned off during the deposit operation to keep the hood 12 protruding into the customer service panel part 1.

Therefore, in a non-transaction state, the hood 12 protrudes outward and the shutter 5 is connected to the coin pocket 2, as shown in Figure 4.
is in the closed state, and when you press the operation button for depositing, only the shutter 5 moves to listen to the coin pocket 2 and prepare to insert a coin into it, as shown in Figure 4 (■). .

Furthermore, when the operation button for withdrawal is pressed, the shutter 5 opens and the aforementioned electromagnetic clutch 10 is turned on, causing the hood 12 to rotate by the rotational force of the driven pulley 7, as shown in Figure 4. Immerse yourself in the customer service panel section 1.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart when performing the fourth same operation,
In step 21, it is determined whether a deposit command or a withdrawal command has been received. If it is a deposit command, the clutch 10 is held off in step 22, and if it is a withdrawal command, step 23 Turn on clutch 10.

In either case, in the subsequent step 24, the sit7
Determine whether to open or close the shutters 5, and if you want to close them, input the rotational force in the shutter opening direction to the drive pulley 6 in step 25, and if you want to listen, input the rotational force in the shutter opening direction to the drive pulley 6 in step 27. Enter force.

In this way, this invention changes the position of the hood depending on whether it is a deposit operation or a withdrawal operation, thereby preventing foreign matter from entering the automatic teller machine and eliminating equipment errors, and also preventing forgetting to take out coins when withdrawing money. It is intended to prevent
