After that it is loaded in the recycling box (50). The deposit and withdrawal unit 10 is assembled to form a border with the frame 300.

As a conveying path structure for conveying the bills separated by the separating part 12, the lower conveyance is installed on the lower side where the bills are conveyed to form a conveying path and the lower belt 170 is coupled to apply a conveying force to the bills. A member (not shown in the figure) is installed, and an upper conveying member 110 is installed above the lower conveying member. The upper conveying member 110 is made of, for example, a mold made of a synthetic resin material together with the lower conveying member.

Although the deposit and withdrawal unit 10 is provided on the upper side of the upper conveying member 110, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be applied to any structure provided on the upper portion of the upper conveying member 110. Therefore, the structure that is installed on the upper side of the upper conveyance member 110, including the deposit and withdrawal section 10, collectively referred to as 'upper structure'.

The shape of the lower surface of the upper conveying member 110 and the shape of the upper surface of the lower conveying member are formed to correspond to each other, the gap between both sides is to form a conveying path gap is a bill is transferred through the conveying path gap. The said conveyance path gap is normally installed so that it may remain constant about 2 mm.

In order to remove the banknote jam occurs on the conveying path, the upper conveying member 110 should be pivoted on one side. To this end, a hinge portion 115 into which the hinge shaft 150 is inserted is formed in the upper transport member 110.

At both side ends of the upper conveying member 110, a rectangular plate-shaped stopper 111 is formed to protrude in order to keep the conveying path gap constant. The stopper 111 is inserted into and installed in the stopper insertion groove 210 formed in the side frame 200. When the stopper 111 is inserted into the stopper insertion groove 210, the bottom surface of the stopper 111 is brought into contact with the bottom of the stopper insertion groove 211, whereby the lower surface position of the upper conveying member 110 is regulated, so that the conveying path gap is formed. It is kept constant. In this case, the upper surface of the stopper 111 is preferably formed to be equal to or lower than the upper side of the side frame 220 in order to prevent interference with other components located on the top.

On the other hand, the upper conveying member 110 is provided with an upper belt 160 for conveying the bill. As shown in FIG. 7, the upper belt 160 transfers banknotes by clamping force with the lower belt 170 installed in the lower conveying member.

The structure coupled to the second shaft fastening hole 114a of the shaft coupling plate 114 by a fastening member is preferable. According to such a structure, the length of the second shaft 114 does not need to be unnecessarily lengthened and weight can be reduced.

Meanwhile, referring to FIGS. 5 and 7, the upper belt 160 and the lower belt 170 transfer bills by a clamping force, which is a frictional force generated at the contact surface. That is, the upper belt 160 maintains the state as shown in FIG. 5 before being clamped with the lower belt 170, and the upper structure is closed so that the upper belt 160 and the lower belt 170 are pinched 190. If it is sandwiched in the) is contacted in a curve by the pulley 181 connected to the lower belt (170).

Due to this shape, the tension is formed in the upper belt 160 to increase the clamping force in contact with the lower belt 170, the bill is conveyed by the clamping force.

In this case, in the state of FIG. 6 in which the upper structure 10 is closed, when the upper structure 10 is turned in the counterclockwise direction with the upper structure 10 as the center of rotation to remove the banknote jam, the upper belt 160 ) Is restored to the shape as shown in FIG. 5 by the restoring force, and maintains this state until the upper conveying member 110 is pressed down from the top.

After removing the banknote jam state generated between the upper belt 160 and the lower belt 170 in this state, the upper structure 10 is closed by turning clockwise around the entrance / exit hinge shaft 11. In this case, between the lower surface of the upper structure 10 and the upper surface of the upper conveying member 110 is required a structure in which the upper structure can pressurize the upper conveying member 110.

To this end, the upper conveying member 110 has a plurality of pressing plate contact portions 112 formed in a rib shape by forming an upper end portion as a rectangle and protruding upward, and the pressing plate contact portions 112 are elastic members 120 at the top. Has a structure that presses downward.

The elastic member 120 is installed by a fastening member 121 at a predetermined position below the upper structure 10. The elastic member 120 is preferably a leaf spring as an example. In this case, the plate spring is formed with a fastening hole (120b) is coupled to the coupling plate 120a fastened by the fastening member 121 to the upper structure, the inclined plate (120c) extending inclined at one end in the width direction of the coupling plate (120a), It consists of a pressing plate 120d which is bent and extended at the end of the inclined plate 120c.

In this case, the pressing plate (120d) is in contact with the pressing plate contact portion 112 formed in the upper conveying member 110 in the state in which the upper structure is closed to apply an elastic force to the upper conveying member (110) downward.

Due to such a structure, it is possible to prevent the stopper 111 of the upper transport member 110 from being damaged. That is, in order to maintain the transport path gap constant, it is necessary to maintain a state in which the upper transport member 110 is pressed down with a constant force in the closed state of the upper structure.

To this end, if the lower surface of the upper structure 10 directly takes the structure of pressing the upper surface of the upper conveying member 110, there is a problem that the stopper 111 is broken. The elastic member 120 can prevent such a problem. In this case, the elastic member 120 is not limited to the leaf spring of the present embodiment is applicable to any structure surface that can apply the elastic force to the upper surface of the upper conveying member 110.

In addition, the pressing plate (120d) is preferably inclined downward from the end of the inclined plate (120c) is formed extending. That is, as shown in Figure 8, when the upper structure is swung open to maintain the state in which the pressing plate (120d) is inclined to the dotted line position, the upper structure is closed, the pressing plate (120d) contact the pressing plate contact portion 112 When pressurized, it changes to the position of a solid line.

According to such a structure, even if the manufacturing tolerances and the assembly tolerances of the pressing plate 120d and the pressing plate contact portion 112 deviate from the reference values somewhat, the pressing plate 120d can press the pressing plate contact portion 112 downward so that the breaker 111 is damaged. In addition to this, it is possible to keep the conveyance path gap constant.

As described in detail above, according to the conveying path structure of the automatic teller machine according to the present invention, the upper conveying member forming the conveying path can be pivoted about the hinge axis to easily remove the banknote jam on the conveying path. Not only can there be a stopper structure on the upper transport member, there is an advantage that can maintain a constant transport gap.

In addition, it is possible to prevent the stopper from being damaged by installing an elastic member that applies an elastic force to the upper conveying member, and by adopting a structure in which both ends of the second shaft are coupled to the second shaft coupling plate protruding to the upper portion of the upper conveying member. There is an advantage to reduce the weight.

In addition, the pressing plate is formed to be inclined downward from the end of the inclined plate, there is an advantage that can maintain the transport path gap even if the manufacturing tolerance and assembly tolerance occurs.
