The present invention relates to a media storage box of a media dispenser, and more particularly, to a media storage box of a media dispenser in which an internal space of a media storage box for recovering abnormal media from the media dispenser is variably partitioned.

 1 schematically shows a media dispenser that automatically supplies media such as conventional cash or tickets. As shown, a typical media dispenser includes a cassette 2 for storing media, a media conveying portion 4 for supplying the media in the cassette 2 to the user, and a media conveying portion 4 along the media conveying portion 4. And a collecting box 6 for collecting the conveyed medium or unreceived medium.

The recovery box 6 is a part for recovering and storing damaged media or media not received by the user. This recovery box 6 is generally configured as a fixed or removable type.

The recovery box 6 is generally provided with a cover, and is configured such that the medium recovered through the opening and closing of the cover is transported into the recovery box 6. And the opening and closing of the cover of the recovery box 6 is configured to be made by the removal of the recovery box (6). In other words, when the collecting box 6 is mounted to the main body, it is generally configured to open the cover of the collecting box 6 and close when the collecting box 6 is detached from the main body.

Then, inside the collection box 6, the damaged media is recovered (hereinafter referred to as bad collection) and the media is not received by the user (hereinafter referred to as non-recovery).

However, the prior art as described above has the following problems.

Workers need to distinguish between bad and uncollected. This is because, in the case of failure, there is a problem with the media itself, and the number of unreceived receipts is not a problem of the media itself, but a collection of media that the user did not receive by mistake. Therefore, the badly recovered media and the unrecovered media need to be distinguished.

To this end, by providing a partition wall inside the collecting box 6, it is possible to distinguish and accommodate a badly recovered medium and an unreceived medium.

However, in general, since the number of defective and unreceived recoveries is different from each other, if the partition wall is fixed, the medium can only be accommodated at a predetermined ratio. For example, if the partition wall is provided to divide the internal space of the collection box 6, even if there is a large amount of free space in the non-received collection portion, there is a problem that the collection box 6 should be taken out if there is no space in the defective collection space. have. Therefore, there is a need for a structure capable of fluidly partitioning the inner space of the recovery box (6).

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and to provide a medium storage container capable of fluidly partitioning a durable space.

According to a feature of the present invention for achieving the object as described above, the present invention is to be detachably mounted to the media dispenser body, and sliding in the case, to selectively open and close the recovery port formed in the case The cover is connected to one side of the cover, and comprises a partition plate for fluidly partitioning the inner space of the case by moving with the cover as the cover slides.

The partition plate is formed in the body portion for partitioning the inner space of the case, one end of the body portion, a bracket connected to the cover, the body portion to the other side of the bracket, the bottom surface of the case It is configured to include a ground portion sliding in contact with.

The ground portion is provided with a roller so that the partition plate slides easily.

Guide ribs are formed on the inner surface of the case along a moving range of the ground portion.

The cover includes a first cover that selectively shields the first recovery hole, and a second cover that selectively shields the second recovery hole in conjunction with the first cover.

A through hole is formed in the second cover, and the second cover is moved to overlap the through hole and the second recovery hole, thereby opening the inner space of the case.

According to the media storage of the automatic media dispenser according to the present invention having such a configuration, there is an advantage that the internal space of the media storage box is not fixed and can be flexibly adjusted to efficiently utilize the internal space according to the convenience of the operator.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a media storage box of a media dispenser according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 and 3 illustrate a closed state and an open state of the media storage box of the automatic teller machine according to the present invention, respectively, in a side cross-sectional view. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the configuration of the cassette for storing the media and the path for withdrawing the media will be omitted and only the recovery portion will be described.

As shown in these figures, a media storage box for recovering abnormal and unreceived media is provided inside the main body of the media dispenser. At this time, an abnormal medium is recovered (hereinafter referred to as defective recovery) in the R1 direction shown in the drawing, and an unreceived medium is recovered (hereinafter referred to as "unrecovered") in the R2 direction.

The appearance and skeleton of the media storage box are formed by the case 10. The case 10 is made into a substantially hexahedral shape, so that a space of a substantially hexahedron is formed in which the medium can be stored.

The first recovery hole 11 is formed in one side of the case 10, that is, the defect recovery direction R1 on the left side of the case 10. The first recovery hole 11 is selectively shielded by a first cover to be described below, the case 10 is opened when mounted to the main body of the automatic media dispenser, thereby making a bad recovery.

The case 10 is provided with a blocking plate 12. The blocking plate 12 is made of a metal plate, and is provided on the case 10 to protect the inner space of the case 10. More precisely, the blocking plate 12 is fixed directly below the ceiling surface of the case 10.

A second recovery hole 13 is formed in the blocking plate 12. The second recovery hole 13 is a portion through which a part of the blocking plate 12 penetrates and an unreceived medium is inserted. The second recovery hole 13 is exposed only when the media storage box is mounted on the main body of the automatic media dispenser. That is, when the media storage box is separated from the main body, the shielding part 26 of the second cover 25 to be described below covers the second recovery hole 13 so that the internal space of the case 10 is reduced. Shielded. On the contrary, when the media storage box is mounted on the main body, the second cover 25 is moved to overlap the opening / closing opening of the second cover 25 to expose the internal space of the case 10 so that the media can be inserted.

Guide ribs 18 are formed in the case 10. The guide rib 18 is formed on the inner surface of the case 10, and serves to guide the roller 36 to be described below and to limit the movement stroke. The guide rib 18 is formed to protrude on the inner surface of the case 10, and is formed to partition a portion along with the bottom surface of the case 10.

The cover 20 is mounted to the case 10. Sliding inside the case 10, serves to selectively shield the two recovery holes (11, 13). The cover 20 is manually slid by an operator, but may be automatically moved by a driving motor (not shown). The cover 20 is composed of two parts, that is, the first cover 21 and the second cover 25. Each will be described below.

 The first cover 21 is connected to one side of the second cover 25 to be described below, and slides inside the case 10 together with the second cover 25. That is, when viewed in the center of the drawing, as the first cover 21 moves to the left and right, the second cover 25 coupled thereto is also slid left and right.

More precisely, when the media storage box is mounted on the main body of the automatic media dispenser, it moves to the right side, i.e., in the direction of the second recovery hole 13, and when the media holder is separated from the main body of the media automatic dispenser, on the left side, i. It moves to the recovery hole 11 direction.

An end of the first cover 21 selectively shields the defect recovery hole R1. That is, in a state in which the media storage box is separated from the main body, as shown in FIG. 2, the terminal shields the defective recovery hole R1 so that the defective recovery space S1 to be described later is not exposed to the outside. When the first cover 21 is mounted on the main body and moves in the direction of the second recovery hole 13, the defective recovery space S1 is exposed.

The first cover 21 is provided with a lever 22. The lever 22 is a part that an operator grips to move the first cover 21. The lever 22 is formed to protrude from the upper surface of the first cover 21 across the case 10 to facilitate the operation of the first cover 21. Of course, the first cover 21 may be operated by a driving source such as a motor (not shown).

In the state where the first cover 21 is moved in the direction of the second recovery hole 13 by using the lever 22, when the media storage box is mounted on the main body, the first cover 21 is fixed. Will be maintained. This is because a hook hook (not shown) and a hook jaw (not shown) are formed at positions corresponding to each other in the first cover 21 and the case 10.

An elastic member 23 is connected to the first cover 21. The elastic member 23 is connected to one side of the first cover 21, thereby pushing the first cover 21 toward the first recovery hole (11). Accordingly, the second cover 25 connected to the first cover 21 also receives an elastic force in the direction of the first recovery hole 11. In this embodiment, the elastic member 23 is composed of a spring, it may be provided with a variety of other elastic member (23).

The second cover 25 is connected to the first cover 21. The second cover 25 is installed to be movable within the case 10, thereby selectively opening and closing the second recovery hole 13. More precisely, in a state where the media storage box is separated from the media dispenser, the second cover 25 is positioned in a direction away from the blocking plate 12. Accordingly, the shielding portion 26 formed at the tip of the second cover 25 shields the second recovery hole 13, so that the non-receipt recovery space S2 to be described later is not exposed.

On the contrary, when the media storage box is mounted in the automatic media dispenser, the second cover 25 moves in the direction of the blocking plate 12, so that the through hole 28 formed in the second cover 25 and the second recovery are made. As the balls 13 overlap, the inner space of the media storage box, more precisely, the non-receipt collection space S2 to be described later, is exposed.

The bracket 29 is formed on the second cover 25. The bracket 29 is connected to the bracket 32 formed on the partition plate 30 to be described below, and serves to couple the second cover 25 and the partition plate 30. In the present embodiment, the bracket 29 protrudes from one side of the second cover 25 and has a rectangular shape with a fastening hole in the center thereof.

The partition plate 30 is installed in the case 10. The partition plate 30 serves to divide the internal space of the media storage box into an unreceived recovery space S2 and a defective recovery space S1. The partition plate 30 is installed inside the case 10 across the longitudinal direction of the case 10. That is, the partition plate 30 divides two spaces having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape into the inside of the media storage box, so that the user can separate and store the media not received by the user and the defective media.

In other words, the medium inserted through the second recovery hole 13 is accommodated in the non-receipt recovery space S2, and the medium inserted through the first recovery hole 11 is accommodated in the defective recovery space S1. Will be. This is to allow the operator to separate and work with the two media after the media container is separated. 2 and 3 are side views of the media storage box in which the partition plate 30 is mounted.

At this time, the skeleton of the partition plate 30 is formed by the body portion 31. The body portion 31 is formed in a plate shape, and serves to partition the inner space into two regions S1 and S2. In addition, a bracket 32 is formed at one end of the body part 31, and the partition plate 30 and the second cover 25 are fastened by the bracket 29 and the fastener of the second cover 25. ) Is connected. Accordingly, the partition plate 30 is moved together with the second cover 25, thereby fluidly partitioning the inner space.

The partition plate 30 has a ground portion 34 formed on the other side of the bracket 32 and sliding in contact with the bottom surface of the case 10. The ground portion 34 serves to guide the movement of the partition plate 30 by moving in the guide rib 18.

Preferably, the ground portion 34 is provided with a roller 36. The roller 36 is rotatably connected to the ground portion 34, so that the ground portion 34 does not directly contact the bottom surface of the case 10, and the partition plate 30 is smoother than the guide. The bottom surface of the case 10 is moved along the rib 18.

Hereinafter, the operation of the media storage box of the automatic teller machine according to the present invention having the configuration as described above will be described in detail.

First, the process of transferring the media to the media storage will be briefly described. When the user inputs the withdrawal signal of the medium through the external interface of the media dispenser, the media stored in the media dispenser is transferred. At this time, the medium is inspected by the medium sensing unit to determine whether it is single or plural, and whether the medium is normal or abnormal is determined by the branch unit.

The normal medium is delivered to the user through the receiving port, and the abnormal medium is recovered and inserted into the medium storage box through the first recovery hole 11. Even in the normal medium, if there is a medium remaining without being received by the user through the receiving port, the medium is recovered and inserted through the second collecting hole 13 of the medium storage box. This process, as shown in Figure 3, is the state in which the media storage box is mounted on the media dispenser.

Referring to the process of mounting the media storage box to the automatic media dispenser, first, the operator installs the media storage box in the mounting space formed in the internal space of the media dispenser.

At the same time, when the operator pushes the lever 22 toward the second recovery hole 13 while overcoming the elastic force of the elastic member 23, the second cover coupled with the first cover 21 ( 25 is slid in the direction of the second recovery hole (13). At this time, the first cover 21 is fixed to the case 10 by the hook hook and the hook jaw. Therefore, the second recovery hole 13 and the through hole 28 overlap, and the non-receipt recovery space S2 of the media storage box is exposed.

In addition, the first recovery hole 11 is also opened. This is because, as the first cover 21 is moved, the end of the first cover 21 that is shielding the first recovery hole 11 moves away from the first recovery hole 11. This state is shown in FIG. 3.

In this case, when the second cover 25 moves along the upper surface of the blocking plate 12, the partition plate 30 is also moved. That is, the partition plate 30 connected by the second cover 25 and the bracket 32 has the center of the drawing as the second cover 25 moves in the direction of the second recovery hole 13. When you look, it slides to the right. In other words, the non-receipt recovery space (S2) is reduced in volume compared to the defective recovery space (S1).

In addition, since the roller 36 is mounted to the ground portion 34, such movement is very natural. That is, when the partition plate 30 moves the inner space of the case 10, the roller 36 can move the bottom surface of the case 10 without great friction along the cloud.

At this time, the roller 36 is guided by the guide rib 18. More precisely, the roller 36 is moved along the inner surface of the case 10 and the guide ribs 18, thereby limiting the movement stroke.

On the contrary, the process of separating the media storage box from the automatic media dispenser is performed in the reverse order of the above process. That is, while separating the media storage box, the second cover 25 is moved in the direction of the first recovery hole 11 by the elastic member 23. Accordingly, the shielding portion 26 of the second cover 25 shields the second recovery hole 13, so that the non-receipt recovery space S2 is covered. At the same time, the first cover 21 is moved in the direction of the first recovery hole 11, so that the end of the first cover 21 shields the first recovery hole (11).

It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but is capable of many modifications and alterations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims. It is self-evident.

In the media storage box of the automatic media dispenser according to the present invention as described in detail above, the following effects can be expected.

The media storage box of the media dispenser according to the present invention is provided with a partition plate. The partition plate is connected to the cover of the media storage box, and the inner space of the case is fluidly partitioned as the cover is interlocked with the cover. Therefore, the worker can utilize the internal space of the case according to the amount of media load, etc., there is an effect that the utilization and workability of the media dispenser media storage box is improved.
