First, referring to FIG. 3, the conveying means 130, the driving motor 140, the return plate 150, and the support conveying roller 220 may be known in more detail.

Although not shown here, as described above, the transfer means 130 is rotatably supported at the lower portion of the frame 120, and the driving motor 140 is provided at the rear upper side of the frame 120 and returns plate 150. It can be seen that one end of the) surrounds the rear portion of the transfer means 130 and at the same time the other end extends forward along the bottom surface of the transfer means (130). Of course, the return plate 150 and the transfer means 130 preferably maintains a predetermined interval to transfer the bill (300).

In addition, the support feed roller 220 is located above the front feed roller 132 of the transfer means 130, but is also supported to be rotatable in the frame 120.

Now, referring to “a” of FIG. 4, a banknote 300 to be transferred by the transfer means 130 is provided between the front transfer roller 132 and the support transfer roller 220 of the transfer means 130. have.

Subsequently, referring to "I", when the conveying means 130 is operated by the operation of the driving motor 140, the banknote 300 is stably conveyed by the support conveying roller 220, and the banknote which has been conveyed ( 300 is conveyed backward along the conveying means (130). In addition, a return plate 150 is provided at the rear of the transfer means 130 to divert the banknote 300 transferred from the upper portion of the transfer means 130 to the lower portion of the transfer means 130, and the banknote is turned. It can be seen that 300 is discharged along the lower surface of the transfer means (130).

5 is a perspective view of the ironing board and the heating rod and the lifting motor according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, "A" and "I" of Figure 6 shows the operation of the ironing board according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. A schematic front view is shown, and “d” is a schematic front view showing the operation of the ironing board according to another embodiment.

First, referring to FIG. 5, it can be seen that the ironing plate 160 includes a lower plate 162 and an upper plate 164, and the first insertion hole 166 into which the heater rod 170 is inserted at both sides of the lower plate 162. ) Is formed, and a second insertion hole 168 into which the sensor of the temperature sensor 210 is inserted is formed at the center thereof. And, it can be seen that the upper plate 164 is connected via the lifting motor 180 and the connecting member 182.

On the other hand, the lower plate 162 of the ironing plate 160 is formed of an aluminum material having excellent thermal conductivity, the upper plate 164 is preferably formed of a heavy iron material to apply a load.

Here, referring to "A" of FIG. 6, the ironing plate 160 is inserted into the heater rod 170 therein, and is connected through the lifting motor 180 and the connecting member 182 provided at the upper portion thereof. It can be seen that.

Now, referring to "I", it can be seen that the ironing plate 160 is lowered as the lifting lowering motor 180 rotates to the right, and conversely, when the lifting lowering motor 180 is rotated to the left, the ironing plate 160 is rotated to the left. ) Will be restored. At this time, the lifting motor 180 is not rotated several times, it should be noted that the rotation repeatedly within an angle that can slightly lift the ironing plate 160.

Here, the lifting motor 180 is operated by a time zone limited by the above-described timer device 230. That is, when the time for operating the lifting motor 180 in the timer device 230 is set to 1 second, when the operation signal is input to the lifting motor 180, the iron plate 160 rotates to the right for 1 second. After falling down to stop, and again when the lifting motor 180 operation signal is input, this time to the left for 1 second to raise the ironing plate 160.

On the other hand, the lifting motor 180 may be limited rotation by the timer device 230, but may also use a sensor as in the case of "c", that is, the upper and lower sensors 186a and the lower limit sensor 186b is raised and lowered It is provided on one side of the motor 180, the pulley of the lifting motor 180 is provided with a projection 184 in contact with the sensor (186a, 186b) can implement a limited rotation.

That is, the protrusion 184 of the lifting motor 180 is in contact with the upper limit sensor 186a, and in this case, the ironing plate 160 is raised. At this time, when the signal is input to the lifting motor 180 to rotate the lifting motor 180 to the right side the ironing plate 160 will start to descend. Then, when the protrusion 184 is in contact with the lower limit sensor 186b, the lifting motor 180 stops the operation. In addition, when a signal is input to the lifting motor 180 and the lifting motor 180 is rotated to the left side, the ironing plate 160 starts to rise, and this time, the protrusion 184 contacts the upper limit sensor 186a. Raising and lowering the motor 180 is to stop the operation.

As such, in implementing the limited operation of the lifting motor 180, it can be seen that it can be implemented using a timer and a sensor. In addition, other methods not described in the present invention may be applied, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Hereinafter will be described in detail the function and operation of the present invention of the above configuration.

"A" and "I" of Figure 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the operation of the bill straightener according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the rotation time of the driving motor 140 is set to 10 seconds, the rotation time of the raising and lowering motor 180 is set to 1 second in the timer device 230, and the upper limit is 300 degrees and the lower limit is 250 degrees in the temperature sensor 210. It is set. In addition, it should be noted that the frame 120 is illustrated with a broken line for easy description.

First, the power switch 116 provided at one side of the housing 110 is turned on. Then, power is applied to the PCB circuit control unit 200, and the PCB circuit control unit 200 first applies power to the heater rod 170 to preheat the ironing plate 160. During this preheating time, the indicator light 118 provided on one side of the housing 110 comes in yellow.

Now, after a predetermined time elapses, the heater rod 170 heats the ironing plate 160 to match the value set in the temperature sensor 210, and the indicator light 118 turns green. Of course, the iron plate 160 by the temperature sensor 210 will always maintain a constant temperature.

Thus, the user sees the indicator light 118 that is green, and the user inserts the crumpled bill 300 through the input hopper 112. The sensor unit 190 provided at the top of the input hopper 112 recognizes the inserted banknote 300 and generates a signal. The signal is recognized by the PCB circuit controller 200 and the driving motor 140 and the ascend and descend. Each of the motors 180 is operated. Of course, since the time for the driving motor 140 and the raising and lowering motor 180 is already set in the timer device 230, the PCB circuit controller 200 applies power during this time and short-circuits after time passes. It should be recognized.

Subsequently, when the banknote 300 is inserted into the input hopper 112, the driving motor 140 rotates the transfer means 130, and at the same time, the lifting motor 180 lowers the ironing plate 160. At this time, the ironing plate 160 is lowered so close to the belt 136 of the conveying means 130 that the bill 300 will not be transported, so the banknote 300 is lowered to leave a predetermined space to be transported It is preferable.

Therefore, the banknote 300 is conveyed backward along the conveying means 130, the wrinkles are unfolded by the high heat of the ironing plate 160 provided on the upper portion during the conveying process. Banknotes 300 ironed by the ironing plate 160 is converted to a lower direction of the conveying means 130 by the return plate material 150 provided at the rear of the conveying means 130 is transported toward the discharge hopper 114 is discharged. In other words, the 10-second bill input to the timer device 230 is discharged by ironing one sheet, the bill 300 is discharged within 10 seconds, at the same time the operation of the drive motor 140 is stopped, Rising and lowering motor 180 is prepared by the reverse rotation for one second to raise the ironing plate 160 again.

Therefore, according to the bill straightener 100 of the present invention, since the ironing plate 160 for ironing the bill 300 by high heat is provided to iron the bill (300) wrinkled clean to extend the life of the bill 300 and The value can be reconsidered, and at the same time, it is relatively simple, and the incidence of low trouble is low. When the power switch 116 is turned on and banknotes 300 are inserted into the input hopper 112, the ironing is completed to discharge the hopper 114. Since it is discharged through, it is easy to use for everyone.

The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the features and technical advantages of the present invention in order to better understand the claims of the invention which will be described later.
