In describing the banknote storage device (P) for the vending machine (V) according to the present invention, if the direction reference is specified with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3a,

When the door V1 of the vending machine V is opened, as shown in FIG.

That is, as shown in Figure 3a, the piggy bank 20 is set to the front side, the opposite side of the bill entering portion 30 is set to the rear,

The upper and lower sides are divided based on the direction of gravity, and the left and right sides are determined while the piggy bank 20 is viewed.

Banknote storage device (P) according to the present invention can be used for a vending machine for selling a variety of goods, vending machine (V) shown in Figure 1 is a banknote inlet (V2) protected by a transparent cover and the article outlet ( V3) is shown, and when the door V1 is opened as shown in Fig. 2, the banknote storage device P can be observed.

As shown in Figures 3a to 4b, the bill storage device P according to the present invention is a bill inserted into the bill insertion slot (V2) arranged in the vending machine (V) door (V1) as shown in FIG. When the sensor detects a bill input unit 30 that receives a bill by operating a control signal of the input microcomputer,

Banknotes flowing back from the front to the lower back guides the banknotes to hold the temporary temporarily and then to return or transfer to the bank according to the control signal transmitted through the microcomputer 40,

And it is made of a piggy bank 20 to store the bills one after another to allow the vending machine manager to collect the bills,

The banknote entry part 30 and the banknote stay part 40 are wrapped by the housing 10, and the piggy bank 20 is connected to the housing through the lower receiving groove 15 and the upper lever 13 of the housing. 10) It is mounted in the front.

The banknote entry part 30, which is one of the cores of the banknote storing device P according to the present invention, receives the power of the driving motor 17 through a relay means such as a reduction gear and a belt to pivot to receive or return the banknote. A first base 31 provided with a plurality of rollers 31a (see FIG. 3B) for enabling the same;

A cover 33 connected to the first base 31 to cover the upper portion of the first base by an axial pin 32 (see FIG. 3A) arranged at the rear, and

It is connected to the first base 31 by a side pin 34 (see Fig. 3a) arranged in front of the fixing member 35 for fixing the first base and the cover 33,

The arrangement of the first base 31 and the cover 33 in the correct position may be in the form of a male and female coupling provided between the housing 10 or the base 31 and the cover 33 in addition to the shaft pin 32. It can be variously modified, such as guaranteed by the stopper.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b, the fixing body 35 of the banknote entry part 30 is an upper surface of the cover 33 on which the upper portion of the first base 31 is mounted, in particular a protruding portion. Pressing projection 35a for pressing 33a is provided,

Since the fixing body 35 opens the shaft pin 34 in the shaft and lifts the cover 33, the jammed paper money can be taken out.

Since the whole banknote storage device P is removed from the door V1, it is not necessary to remove the banknote jammed from the rear side (most of the existing vending machines adopt this method), which greatly facilitates the maintenance of the vending machine.

In addition, the bill entry portion 30 is preferably provided with an array sensor (S) (conceptually shown in Figures 4a and 4b) for detecting the size of the bill,

This prevents the rejection from entering the banknotes so that new priesthood currencies, especially 1,000 won bills issued in early 2007, and existing larger ones can be used at the same time. Initial sensing may be enabled for the control of the means to be received and returned and to be transferred completely to the piggy bank.

The housing 10 is fitted and hung by the hook portions of the receiving groove 15 of the front lower portion and the lever 13, which is arranged in the upper upper portion and is supported by a spring (not shown), respectively. 20) can be mounted and removed.

Subsequently, in the banknote storage device P according to the present invention, the banknote stay 40 serves to receive the banknote from the banknote entry part 30 and deliver the banknote to the piggy bank 20 in FIGS. 3A, 4A, and 5A. Referring to FIG. 5B and FIG. 6,

The banknote stay 40 has a second base 40A connected to the first base 31 of the banknote entry part 30, and a receding body mounted on the second base 40A and advanced forward and backward ( 40B).

Like the roller 31a of the first base 31, the second base 40A is also provided with a plurality of rollers 40a, so that the bills can be stored and returned by friction.

In particular, the roller (40a) is one of the core of the present invention is provided in the paper holding body 51 forming the auxiliary fixing part 50 to be described in detail below, and also through the relay means in the drive motor 17 and the reduction gear or belt Connected and turning.

The banknotes horizontally transported forward by the banknote entry unit 30 are reversed (which can be implemented by adjusting the arrangement position of the conveying roller) and vertically conveyed to form the auxiliary fixing part 50 to form the two fixing bodies 50. In the state in which both sides of the banknote are press-fixed and fixed by 51,

The advancing body 40B of the banknote stay 40 has a pressing plate 41 which connects the pressing plate 41 and the second base 40a and is connected to each other via a central pin 43a (43A) ( 43B) back and forth,

5A and 5B, the pressure plate 41 and the second base 40A have first brackets 45A and 45B, respectively, and the first brackets have links 43A and 43B, respectively. Fixing pins 45b and 45b 'which pivotally bind one end of the fitting are fitted to each other to form a fixing hole 45a,

In addition, the pressing plate 41 and the second base 40A each have second brackets 47A and 47B, and the other end of the link 43A and 43B is slid to the second bracket. Guide pins 47b and 47b 'to which guide pins 47a are formed are coupled to each other,

In the drawing, the pressing plate 41 is advanced by a force pushing the links 43A and 43B (guiding pins 47b and 47b 'in the drawing) upward, and by gravity or the link 43A. 43B (refer to the drawing guide pins 47b, 47b ') by the force to pull the lower side of the pressing plate,

The pressure plate 41 pushes the pressure plate 21A of the bank 20 to contract the spring 21B, and both sides of the banknote are caught by the release prevention pieces 21a and 21b to prevent the pressure plate and the separation of the bank. It is stored between pieces.

In particular, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the driven member 49, which serves to push and pull the links 43A and 43B, in particular the guide pins 47b and 47b ', is connected to the driving motor 17. Interlocked through relay means such as reduction gears,

A rotating body 49A pivoted by the drive motor, a restraining pin 49a arranged at an eccentric position with respect to the central axis 49S of the rotating body, and a long hole 49b coupled to the restraining pin are formed. And a moving plate 49B which is in contact with the guide pin 47b coupled to the link 49B.

The specific mechanism is as shown in FIG. 5B, when the rotor 49A is pivoted about the central axis 49S by receiving the power of the phase motor 17 (especially in a state in which the torque is decelerated to improve the torque). ,

The moving plate 49B having the long hole 49b in which the restraining pin 49a is inserted is constrained (not shown) on both sides (preferably limited to lifting up and down in a rail shape, and impossible to move forward and backward). Since the rotation is prevented, the linear motion is made by the circular motion of the restraint pin,

The guide pin 47b is pressurized and raised (moving to the left in FIG. 5A) by the rising of the movable plate 49B (moving to the left in FIG. 5B).

The link 43A, 43B is opened around the center pin 43a,

As a result, the pressure plate 41 is advanced (ascended in FIG. 5A).

As mentioned above, the pressure plate 41 presses the pressure plate 21A of the money box to transfer the banknote located in front of the pressure plate to the money box 20,

Subsequently, when the rotating body of the driven member 49 is continuously rotated or reversely rotated

The movable plate 49B is lowered and the guide pin 47b is also lowered so that the links 43A and 43B are narrowed about the center pin 43a and the pressure plate 41 is reversed.

As a result, the force that pressed the pressure plate 21A of the piggy bank disappears and the spring 21B is restored.

Both sides of the banknote are clamped between the release preventing pieces 21a and 21b of the bank 20 and the pressure plate 21A.

At this time, the stroke of the rotating body 49A and the movable plate 49B of the driven member 49 is

First, the rotating body 49A is rotated forward by 90 degrees or 180 degrees in order to raise the movable plate 49B of the driven member 49 (in the end, the advancement of the pressure plate 41). Reverse 90 degrees or 180 degrees again,

Second, when the rotating body rotates 360 degrees to move up and down of the movable plate, the movable plate is lifted when the first 180 degrees are rotated and the movable plate is lowered when the next 180 degrees is rotated.

In addition, the moving plate 49B and the guide pin 47b of the driven member 49 are connected to each other (for example, a ring or a hook or the like in a vertical direction such as a ring or hook, and a circular or side motion is freely connected) It is preferable to ensure that the guide pin 47b (finally the links 43A, 43B and the pressure plate 41) are interlocked with each other by the forward and backward movement of the moving body moving plate.

Next, another core of the present invention is as shown in Figure 4a and 6, the movement of the auxiliary fixing portion 50 including the paper holding body 51 for fixing both sides of the bill, the auxiliary fixing portion 50 )

The holding paper 51 arranged on both sides of the banknote stay 40 and the receding body 40B (especially the pressing plate 41);

An elastic body 53 which presses the pressure-sensitive body so as to press the banknote (in the form of a torsion coil spring, but deformable by other elastic means), and

When the advancing body 40B (particularly, the pressure plate 41) of the bill retainer portion is advanced, the movable body is moved by the drive motor 17 to lift the paper sheet 51 and release the bill paper state.

The movable body is also connected by a drive motor and a relay means such as a reduction gear or a timing belt,

Especially in the figure, it is in the form of the cam 55.

Looking at the operation of the auxiliary fixing section 50 in more detail

The holding body 51 of the auxiliary fixing part 50 is interlocked with a mechanism for the retraction of the pressure plate 41 in the retreat body 40B.

When the pressing plate 41 is advanced, the cam 55 is rotated to rotate the paper holding body 51 about the shaft pin 51a to release the pressurized state on both sides of the bill.

When the pressure plate 41 is reversed again, the cam 55 is rotated in the opposite direction so that the presser body 51 is returned to its original shape.

As described above, in the bill acceptor P according to the present invention, when a bill is input into the bill entry part 30 through the bill input port V2 of the vending machine V, the sensor detects this, and the array sensor S It also detects bill size and prevents malfunction due to small priesthood.

The roller 31a of the banknote entry part and the roller 40a of the banknote stay part 40 are operated by the command of the microcomputer so that the banknote is located in front of the pressing plate 41 of the receding body 40B of the banknote stay part and the auxiliary fixing part 50 ) Is pressed by the pressure-sensitive adhesive body 51 (actually, pressed by the roller 40a).

In this case, if a saving order is issued instead of a return order (if necessary, the banknotes can be configured in such a way as to give a command signal to save them, not one, but several).

When the rotating body 49A of the bill retainer 40 driven member 49 is rotated by the rotation of the driving motor 17 and the moving plate 49B is raised by the restraining pin 49a, the guide pin 47b is moved. X-shaped link 43A (43B) is interlocked with the center pin (43a) unfolds, the pressure plate 41 is advanced

At the same time, the paper holding body 51 is rotated about the shaft pin 51a by the driving mechanism of the cam 55 of the auxiliary fixing part 50, thereby releasing the pressurized state on both sides of the banknote.

The pressure plate 41 presses the pressure plate 21A of the bank 20

When the rotating body 49A of the driven body 40B driven member 49 is rotated 90 degrees (or 180 degrees) in reverse (or 180 degrees forward after the initial 180 degrees),

The movable plate 49B is folded around the center pin 43a of the X-shaped link 43A and 43B.

The pressure plate 41 is reversed

At this time, the force that pressed the pressure plate 21A of the piggy bank disappears and the spring 21B is restored, and both sides of the banknote are separated between the release preventing pieces 21a and 21b of the bank 20 and the pressure plate 21A. Sandwich

Banknotes are eventually transferred to the bank 20 in the bill retainer 40.

As described above, the easy-to-repair banknote storage device according to the present invention comprises a bill entry part with a base, a cover, and a fixed body, and when the door of the vending machine is opened, the front (when the manager sees the door while the door of the vending machine is open). (See side), the fixed part of the paper entry part is visible, and when the unlocking part is unlocked, the vending machine manager can lift the cover from the base so that the jammed paper can be easily removed, and the array sensor is introduced. It is safe to use newer banknotes with smaller size and existing banknotes at the same time.In addition, the banknotes are temporarily stored before transferring them to the bank, and then returned or transferred to the bank according to the signal of the controller. All bills and bills of different old and new currency will be perfectly stored. In order to be able to smoothly transfer the money to the money box, when the pressurizing plate of the banknote holder moves forward, the sub-government paper holding the sides of the banknote can also be heard so that the perfection of the banknote storage mechanism can be heard. I can guarantee it.

In the above description, although a conventionally known technique including a process related to conventional banknote sensing and the like is omitted in a banknote storing apparatus of a vending machine, those skilled in the art will naturally be able to infer and deduce the above description. Although the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings with a specific shape and structure around the present invention, the present invention can be variously modified and changed by those skilled in the art, such modifications and variations should be construed as belonging to the protection scope of the present invention.
