It is formed. In addition, the rotating plate 23 and the operating plate 24 are connected via a first spring 25 to buffer the action force transmitted therebetween, and the rotating plate 23 is in one direction when the solenoid 20 is in an off state. The second spring 26 is connected to one end to be located at.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 (a) is a block diagram of the device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 (b) is a partially enlarged perspective view of the shutter of FIG.

The banknote return door shutter device for a ticket vending machine of the present invention is applied to a banknote release device for sending a banknote conveyed by the identification part belt of the slot in the ticket vending machine to the return port 2 by the return part belt.

In view of the configuration, the shutter groove plate 21 mounted so that one end is exposed to the outside of the return port 2 and the solenoid 20 generating the driving force are fixed, and the shutter 22 and the rotating plate connected in the middle thereof. (23) and the operation plate 24 as the movable part.

The shutter groove plate 21 serves to guide the banknote P conveyed by the return belt 12 (FIG. 1) to the return port 2, with a part of the shutter 22 entering and exiting the center. A predetermined opening (not shown) is formed.

The shutter 22 contacts the shutter groove plate 21 to close the return port 2 and opens the return port 2 only at the moment when the bill reaches the return port 2. The rotating plate 23 is connected to one end of the shutter 22 and is mounted to be capable of rotating reciprocating around the rotating point 23a. The operating plate 24 is connected to one point of the rotating plate 23 and is mounted to enable linear reciprocating motion.

At this time, the shutter 22 is composed of a front shutter 22a for opening and closing the return port 2 and a rear shutter 22b for holding a bill, and the rear shutter 22b protrudes to the upper surface of the front shutter 22a. It is formed. The rear shutter 22b is narrower than the front shutter 22a as shown in FIG. 2 (b), and through the opening (not shown) of the shutter groove plate 21 as shown in FIG. Protrude to the top.

The rotating plate 23 and the operating plate 24 are connected via the first spring 25 to buffer the action force transmitted between both, the rotating plate 23 is in one direction when the solenoid 20 is off The second spring 26 is connected to one end to be positioned. The first spring 25 and the second spring 26 generate an action force which normally causes the shutter 22 to be in a position to block the return opening 2.

3 (a) and (b) are diagrams showing the sequence of the operation of FIG.

Although not shown, an optical sensor composed of a light receiving unit and a light emitting unit is disposed on the return belt 12 (FIG. 1) to detect whether the banknote P has passed and send a generated signal to the controller of the ticket vending machine. The solenoid 20 applied to this invention is connected to the output terminal of a controller, and it controls ON / OFF.

3A illustrates a case where the controller which detects that the banknote P is being conveyed sends an output to the solenoid 20.

When the operating plate 24 is retracted by the operation of the solenoid 20, the spring force is increased while the first spring 25 is compressed. When the rotating plate 23 rotates in the counterclockwise direction by the spring force, the spring force is applied by the second spring 26 in the lower portion of the rotating plate 23, and the rotation moment by each spring force is zero. The rotating plate 23 stops at the point where it becomes.

Accordingly, the banknote P is correctly guided by the shutter groove plate 21 and the rear shutter 22b and starts to be drawn out of the return port 2. When the banknote P of the predetermined number of sheets is loaded in the return port 2, the flow advances to the next operation.

3B is a case where the controller which recognizes that the conveyance of the banknote P is completed stops the output that has been sent to the solenoid 20.

When the solenoid 20 is turned off and the operation plate 24 is advanced, the spring force is reduced while the first spring 25 is returned from the tension state, and the second spring 26 is tensioned under the rotating plate 23. A spring force is also applied to the rotating plate 23 to rotate clockwise. Each of the spring force and the action force by the banknote P in the rear shutter 22b becomes the rotation moment of the rotating plate 23, and the rotating plate 23 stops at the ground where the sum becomes zero.

At this time, between the shutter groove plate 21 and the shutter 22, a predetermined number of bills P are loaded toward the return opening 2, so that the rear shutter 22b is the shutter groove plate as shown in FIG. It is holding while holding the banknote P without protruding to the upper surface of (21). Since the banknote P is buffered and held by the action force by the first spring 25 and the second spring 26, it is not damaged by the impact force by the operation of the solenoid 20. After that, when the user pulls out the bill P, the shutter 22 returns to the state of FIG.

That is, the operation sequence according to the present invention repeats FIG. 2 (a) → FIG. 3 (a) → FIG. 3 (b), in which case the return port 2 is the front shutter 22a or It is a state blocked by the rear shutter 22b or opened only momentarily.

As described above, the ticket return door shutter device for a ticket vending machine according to the present invention adds a shutter device that opens the return port only when necessary, thereby preventing dust, foreign substances, pests, and the like from being introduced, thereby maintaining the cleanliness of the device.
