Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a paper collection box mechanism, and more particularly to a safe paper collection box fixing mechanism for an automatic teller machine, which has a collection box on the upper stage and a storage box on the lower stage.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, conventional automated teller machines collect or store banknotes that the device can recognize and those that cannot be recognized. The machine is equipped with a collection box for storing banknotes and a storage box for storing recognized banknotes, which are stacked vertically and placed on the device frame.

As shown in the figure, these boxes have a drawer mechanism, making it convenient to put in and take out banknotes.

In addition, in the paper collection storage box of this organization, 1
In order to lock both storage boxes and collection boxes stacked vertically with one key, a claw 2a with a bent tip is provided at the back of the upper paper collection box 2, and the claw 2a is pressed against the paper collection box 1. It's summery. Therefore, the upper collecting box 2 cannot be pulled out unless the lower paper scrap storage box 1 is pulled out.

Furthermore, when the paper storage box 1 is loaded into the device 6, it is automatically locked by the lock lever 3 and can be unlocked using only a special key (not shown). However, when the equipment operator takes out the collected paper pieces, he must first unlock the paper piece storage box 1 with a special key and then pull out the paper piece collection box, but at this time he must completely remove the paper piece storage box 1. Kanai and paper collection box 2
When the paper collection box 2 is pulled out, the claw 2 attached to the paper collection box 2 causes the paper storage box 1 to fall, causing problems such as damage and injury to the person handling the device.

The purpose of this invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional problems, and to provide a paper collection box fixing mechanism that improves safety in that the paper collection box cannot be pulled out unless the paper storage box is completely removed. It's about doing.

A feature of this invention is that a stopper 10 for preventing the paper collection box from being pulled out is provided between the paper storage box and the paper collection box.

That is, one end of the drawer prevention stopper 10 comes into contact with the paper storage box 1 until the lower paper storage box 1 is completely opened.
For this reason, the other end engages with the notch of the upper paper collection box 2, making it impossible to pull out the paper collection box 2. Therefore, in order to pull out the paper collection box 2, the paper collection box 1 is completely pulled out, the pull-out prevention stopper 10 is released from contact with the paper collection box 2, and the paper collection box 1 is rotated clockwise around the center of rotation of the storage box holding guide 8. The other end of the prevention stopper 10 must be rotated so that the other end of the prevention stopper 10 is disengaged from the notch of the paper collection box 2. Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Figures 3 and 4
The figures show a plan view and a front view of a paper collection box fixing mechanism showing an embodiment of the present invention. A partition plate 9 is fixed between frames 6 on both sides constituting the paper delivery device so that a paper storage box 1 and a paper collection box 2 can be stored therein. A storage box holding guide 8 is provided at the bottom of this partition plate 9, and a paper storage box 1
This prevents vertical wobbling. Further, a stopper 10 for preventing the paper collection box 2 from being pulled out is attached to the storage box holding guide 8 so as to be freely rotatable. The paper storage box 1 has a lock pin 1e that should be automatically locked when inserted into the device, and the paper collection box 2 has a folded portion 2b that serves as a guide when entering and exiting the device. It is fitted into the guide groove of the side frame 6. Normally, the paper collection box 2 does not have a mechanism that allows it to be completely separated and pulled out of the apparatus, and cannot be removed even if the paper collection box 1 is pulled out from inside the apparatus. When the paper collection box 2 is loaded with the paper collection box 1, the claw 2a integrated with the paper collection box 2 is pushed.
Loaded into place. Now, when the operator attempts to pull out the paper collection box 2 without completely removing the paper collection box 1 (after the dedicated key block has been unlocked), the pull-out prevention stopper 10 locks the paper collection box 1.
Since it is in contact with the top surface of the paper storage box 2, the pull-out prevention stopper cannot be lowered by its own weight and collides with the corner 2c of the paper storage box 2, making it impossible to pull it out. At this time, the paper piece storage box 1 is simultaneously pulled out from the middle by a claw 2a provided on the paper piece collection box 2, but the paper piece collection box 2 is not pulled out to the position where it falls because the pull-out prevention stopper 10 prevents it from being pulled out. On the other hand, if you completely pull out the paper storage box 1,
The pull-out prevention stopper 10 disengages from the corners 1d, 1d' of the paper scrap storage box 1 and lowers under its own weight, so there is nothing to prevent the paper scrap collection box 2 from being pulled out, and the paper scrap collection box 2 can be easily pulled out.

In the present invention, the pull-out prevention stopper 10 may have a rectangular shape or a roller shape, and instead of being dropped by its own weight, it can be forcibly lowered by a spring or the like.

Because of the configuration described above, according to the present invention, even if the operator of the device tries to pull out the paper collection box without completely pulling out the paper storage box, the paper storage box may fall and be damaged, or the operator may be injured. Improved safety can be achieved by eliminating the possibility of accidental injury.
