Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Application of the Invention) The present invention relates to a shutter opening/closing mechanism for a banknote input section in a cash handling device or the like.

[Background of the invention]

Conventional shutter opening/closing mechanisms, as seen in Utility Model Application No. 56-13753, use a spring as a cushioning material for safety reasons if a customer inserts his/her finger when closing the shutter. For this reason, the shutter drive mechanism becomes complicated and has a large number of parts, resulting in an expensive shutter mechanism. Furthermore, when manually closing the shutter, the motor is driven after detecting that the shutter is completely closed, so there is a drawback that the shutter closing process takes a long time.

[Objective of the Invention] The object of the present invention is to shorten the processing time until the shutter of the bill insertion slot closes at the time of bill admission, reduce the number of component parts, and provide a function that allows automatic opening and closing of the shutter and manual closing of the shutter. The object of the present invention is to provide a shutter mechanism that has the following features.

[Summary of the invention]

This invention aims to shorten the processing time by detecting the movement of the shutter when the customer closes it halfway and automatically moving the drive source to close the shutter. or,
Using a pulse motor as the drive source, we reduced the driving force of the motor to avoid injury if a customer got their finger caught in the shutter, and instead of using a cushioning material such as a spring, we controlled the driving force to a small level and replaced it with a cushioning material. The mechanism has been simplified.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3. The bill slot 1 is arranged at the front of the cash handling device [13] so that the customer can easily insert bills. (See FIG. 3) In FIG. 1, the shutter 2 placed above the bill slot 1 is moved by a lever (1) 4. It is a mechanism that rotates around a shutter shaft 7 via a link 5 and a lever (2) 6. A sensor shutter pan 8 is mounted on the shutter shaft 7, and a shutter open sensor 9 that detects the open/closed state of the shutter 2 is located at a position where the sensor shaft pan 8 passes.
, a shutter close sensor 10 is attached. When depositing banknotes, the pulse motor 3 is driven by a series of operations before depositing, and the lever (1) 4. The shutter 2 is automatically opened via the link 5 and the lever (2) 6. When the shutter 2 is manually closed in the direction of the arrow 12 after inserting a bill into the bill slot 1, the shutter open sensor 9 changes from a light state to a dark state during closing, indicating that the shutter 2 is in the middle of being closed. Detect. When this is detected, the control unit 11 drives the pulse motor 3 and lever 14. Link 5. The shutter 2 is moved in the closing direction via the lever (2) 7, the shutter closing sensor 10 changes from light to dark, detects that the shutter 2 is closed, and stops driving the pulse motor 3. As shown in FIG. 2, when the shutter 2 is closed, the lever (2) is
) 6 is the dead center, and the shutter is locked even if you try to open it manually from the outside.

If you forget to close the shutter 2 manually after inserting the banknotes and the shutter 2 remains open for a certain period of time, the pulse motor 3 will be driven.
The shutter 2 is automatically closed via lever (1) 4, link 5 and lever (2) 6. According to this embodiment, by detecting when a customer closes the shutter halfway and automatically closing the shutter, the shutter closing time can be shortened, and the processing time when depositing banknotes can be shortened. be. Also, the mechanism is simple.

This has the effect of providing an inexpensive shutter mechanism.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, by detecting when a customer closes the shutter halfway and automatically closing the shutter, the shutter closing time can be shortened, and the processing time when depositing one bill can be shortened.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the banknote slot/shutter drive unit, showing the state in which the shutter is open; FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the banknote slot/shutter drive unit, showing the state in which the shutter is closed; FIG. 3 is a side view schematically showing the entire cash handling device.

Claims (1)

[Claims] It has a shutter provided at the top of the bill insertion section, a detection section that detects the open or closed position of the shutter, and a drive section that opens and closes the shutter, and when the shutter is manually closed, the shutter closes. A bill accepting device characterized in that a manual closing operation of a shutter is detected midway through, and a drive section moves to automatically close the shutter.
