The present invention relates to a media dispenser, and more particularly, to a media accumulation apparatus for accumulating banknotes in a temporary accumulation unit and a banknote storage unit provided in the automatic media dispenser.

A media dispenser is a device for handling media such as banknotes having economic value. Such a media dispenser is installed in a bank, a government office, a school, and the like, and handles various media. As used herein, the term Media refers to banknotes, checks, tickets, certificates, and the like, and may be variously thinner than a width or length.

Looking at the internal structure of the media dispenser briefly, the media dispenser is provided with a deposit and withdrawal unit that allows customers to withdraw and withdraw bills. Then, the media transfer unit for transferring the banknotes deposited in the deposit and withdrawal unit is provided, the medium passed through the medium transfer unit is recognized in the recognition section winding and size of the bill. Banknotes in which the abnormality is found in the recognition unit are returned to the customer through the media transfer unit or moved to the collection unit for storage. On the other hand, normal banknotes are temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit again through the medium transfer unit or stored in the banknote storage unit. The media accumulation apparatus described below is generally used in the temporary accumulation unit and the banknote storage unit.

1 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a media accumulation apparatus according to the prior art.

As shown therein, the appearance of the media accumulation apparatus is formed by the integrated frame 1. In this drawing, only a part of the integrated frame 1 is illustrated to illustrate an internal configuration, and a separate integrated frame 1 may be further provided at portions corresponding to both sides of the illustrated integrated frame 1. Hereinafter, this part is called a side frame (not shown) for convenience. Round portions 1 'are formed on one side of the upper and lower portions of the integrated frame 1 in a curved surface.

The media inlet 2 through which the media is inserted is formed at one upper side of the integrated frame 1. In addition, a media outlet 3 through which the media is discharged is formed at one lower side of the integrated frame 1. An integrated space 4 in which a medium is integrated is formed in the integrated frame 1. The integrated space 4 communicates with the outside through the media inlet 2 and the media outlet 3.

An inlet roller 6 is installed at a portion adjacent to the medium inlet 2. The inlet roller 6 is rotatably installed in the inlet roller shaft 6 'installed in the side frame. The retraction roller 6 serves to be in close contact with the medium so that the medium can be retracted into the integrated space 4.

On the other hand, the roller 8 is installed in the lower portion of the inlet roller (6). The controller 8 is also rotatably installed on the controller shaft 8 ′ installed in the side frame, similar to the inlet roller 6. The controller 8 serves to allow the medium to be stably integrated in the support plate 14 to be described below. To this end, a plurality of blades 10 are provided in a spiral line on the outer circumferential surface of the controller shaft 8 '. The wing 10 strikes the upper surface of the medium so that the medium drawn into the inlet roller 6 can be integrated in the support plate 14.

The fixing plate 12 is installed above the integrated frame 1. The fixing plate 12 is fixedly installed in the integrated frame 1 to prevent the medium from being separated upward in the process of drawing in the medium.

In addition, the support plate 14 is installed at the lower portion of the integrated frame 1 to be movable. The support plate 14 is a portion in which the medium is inserted and seated. The support plate 14 is installed at a portion of the integrated frame 1 that is opposite to the media inlet 2.

The support plate 14 is installed to be movable relative to the fixed plate 12. The distance between the support plate 14 and the stationary plate 12 is designed such that the medium does not rotate more than a certain angle when the medium is retracted and seated apart from the support plate 14. In such an initial state, the medium is stably moved while moving downward according to the length of the incoming medium.

However, the above-described conventional techniques have the following problems.

First of all, for convenience of explanation, a relatively long portion of a bill is defined as a length, and a relatively short portion is defined as a width. Among the bills used in Korea, the width of 10,000 won is about 76cm. However, the recent release of a new priesthood, which is relatively smaller than the old one, has been used together with the old and new priesthood. In the case of the Priesthood, the width is approximately 68 cm.

Since the above-described media integration device is manufactured to the size of the old ticket, it is difficult to evenly accumulate banknotes when the priesthood is introduced. That is, when the priesthood is accumulated between the old ones, the priesthood may be accumulated in a state in which the priesthood is twisted in the left and right directions. In the case of foreign currency as well as the priesthood described above, banknotes having a relatively small size do not stably accumulate, and thus there is a problem in that a problem occurs in discharging banknotes.

In particular, when the banknotes are accumulated in a state in which the left and right are excessively twisted, it is called a skew phenomenon. If a skew phenomenon occurs, the banknote may not be recognized correctly at the time of discharge.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and to provide a media accumulation apparatus in which media having different sizes can be evenly integrated.

According to a feature of the present invention for achieving the above object, the present invention includes an integrated frame in which an integrated space for forming a medium is formed; An inlet roller for introducing a medium into the integrated space through a media inlet formed on the integrated frame; A fixing plate fixedly installed on an upper portion of the integrated frame; A support plate on which the media drawn by the inlet roller are integrated, and the media are stably integrated while moving relative to the fixed plate according to the number of media; It characterized in that it comprises a guide means for aligning the medium to the inner surface of the integrated frame by adjusting the distance to the media inlet according to the size of the medium.

The guide means includes a driving source driven by receiving information on the size of the medium; It characterized in that it is configured to include a variable integrated portion that is installed to be movable to adjust the distance from the media inlet receives the power provided from the drive source.

The variable integration unit, the guide bracket; Interlocking means for transmitting power of the driving source; The guide bracket is installed on the guide bracket to receive power from the interlocking means to adjust the distance to the media inlet, and the front plate is characterized in that it comprises a guide plate having a damper for mitigating the impact of the medium.

The interlocking means includes: a driving belt hooked to a driving pulley provided on a driving shaft of the driving source; A guide shaft rotatably installed on the guide bracket and provided with a driving pulley on which the driving belt is hooked; Characterized in that it comprises a drive link provided on the guide shaft.

It is provided at both ends of the roller shaft rotatably installed in the lower portion of the inlet roller, and in cooperation with the inlet roller to introduce the medium, the outer peripheral surface of the controller shaft is provided with a plurality of blades to hit the upper surface of the media Characterized in that further comprises a.

Slot rollers are rotatably provided on the slot roller shafts on both sides of the guide plate, and the slot rollers are guided along guide slots formed in the guide brackets.

The drive link is characterized in that the linkage is inserted into the slot roller shaft is formed long in the longitudinal direction.

And a media outlet is formed below the integrated frame adjacent to one end of the media aligned.

The portion corresponding to the media inlet and the media outlet in the integrated frame is characterized in that the round portion is formed in a curved surface.

In the present invention, the guide plate adjusts the distance from the media inlet according to the size of the incoming medium to adjust the position where the tip of the medium collides. Therefore, even when a medium having a relatively small size is inserted, the media collides with the guide plate so that one end of the medium having a relatively large size is aligned so that the medium is evenly stacked. This, in turn, allows the medium to be discharged normally, thereby improving the operational reliability of the product.

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

Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a preferred embodiment of a media accumulation apparatus according to the present invention, Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a variable accumulation section constituting an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in these figures, the appearance of the media accumulation apparatus is formed by the integrated frame 30. In this figure, only a part of the integrated frame 30 is illustrated to illustrate an internal configuration, and a separate integrated frame 30 may be further provided at portions corresponding to both sides of the illustrated integrated frame 30. The integrated frame 30 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and forms an outer frame of the media accumulation apparatus. Hereinafter, this part is called a side frame (not shown) for convenience.

Round portions 30 ′ are formed at one side of the upper and lower portions of the integrated frame 30 in a curved surface. In addition, a medium inlet 31 through which the medium m is drawn is formed in the upper portion of the integrated frame 30 adjacent to the round part 30 ′, and the medium m is located at one lower side of the integrated frame 30. A media outlet 32 through which is discharged is formed. On the other hand, the media outlet 32 is formed in the lower portion of the integrated frame 30 adjacent to one end of the medium (m) aligned. This is to ensure smooth discharge by the pickup roller (not shown) when the medium m is discharged in the integrated state.

A predetermined integrated space 34 is formed in the integrated frame 30 so that the medium m can be integrated. The integrated space 34 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and communicates with the outside through the media inlet 31 and the media outlet 32.

An inlet roller 36 is installed at a portion adjacent to the media inlet 31. The inlet roller 36 is rotatably installed in the inlet roller shaft 36 'installed in the side frame. The inlet roller 36 is in close contact with the medium m and serves to allow the medium m to be drawn into the integrated space 34.

On the other hand, the roller 38 is installed in the lower portion of the inlet roller 36. The controller 38 is also rotatably installed on the controller shaft 38 ′ installed in the side frame like the inlet roller 36. The controller 38 cooperates with the drawing roller 36 to draw in the medium m. In addition, the outer circumferential surface of the controller shaft 38 ′ is provided with a plurality of wings 40 in a spiral line. The wing 40 strikes the upper surface of the medium m so that the medium m introduced into the retraction roller 36 can be integrated in the support plate 44.

The fixing plate 42 is installed on the integrated frame 30. The fixing plate 42 is fixedly installed in the integrated frame 30 to prevent the medium m from being separated upward in the process of drawing the medium m.

In addition, the support plate 44 is movable to the lower portion of the integrated frame 30. The support plate 44 is a portion in which the medium m is inserted and seated. The support plate 44 is installed at a portion of the integrated frame 30 opposite to the media inlet 31.

The support plate 44 is installed to be movable relative to the fixed plate 42. In detail, when the signal indicating that the medium m is drawn is transferred, the support plate 44 is moved upwardly apart from the fixed plate 42 by a predetermined distance. This is illustrated well in FIG. The distance between the support plate 44 and the fixed plate 42 is designed such that the medium m is not excessively rotated when the medium m is retracted and rests on the support plate 44. In this initial state, the medium (m) can be stably seated while being moved downward depending on the number of sheets of the medium (m) drawn in.

On the other hand, the opening 46 is formed in the upper portion of the integrated frame (30). In addition, the variable accumulation unit 50 is installed to move through the opening 46. The variable accumulator 50 adjusts the distance from the media inlet 31 according to the size of the medium (m) to be introduced so that the medium (m) can be more neatly aligned. Hereinafter, a detailed configuration of the variable accumulation unit 50 will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

The appearance of the variable accumulation portion 50 is formed by a guide bracket (52). The guide bracket 52 is installed on the outside of the integrated frame 30, and is made by connecting approximately two plates.

The guide brackets 52 are formed to be long in the guide brackets 52. The guide slot 54 is formed long in the same direction as the inlet direction of the medium (m). The guide slot 54 is inserted and guided by a slot roller 60 to be described below.

In addition, the guide plate 56 is installed to the guide bracket 52 to be movable. The guide plate 56 is installed to be movable in a direction toward or away from the media inlet 31. The guide plate 56 is a collision of the tip of the medium (m) when the medium (m) is retracted, and moves through the opening (46) in the integrated space (34). Specifically, the guide plate 56 is moved by the driving of the drive motor 66 to be described below, so that the medium (m) can be stably integrated while moving according to the size of the medium (m).

The guide plate 56 is provided with a moving part 56a that is movably installed on the guide bracket 52. A pair of the moving parts 56a is installed inside the guide bracket 52 to move forward and backward. A front portion 56b is provided at the tip of the moving portion 56a. The front part 56b extends in a direction perpendicular to the moving part 56a.

In addition, dampers 58 are provided at portions corresponding to both sides of the front portion 56b of the guide plate 56. The damper 58 is for mitigating impact when the medium m collides with the guide plate 56. For example, the damper 58 may include a plastic plate and a spring provided on the rear surface of the plastic plate.

In addition, slot rollers 60 inserted into the guide slots 54 and guided on both sides of the guide plate 56 are rotatably provided. The slot roller 60 is rotatably provided on the slot roller shaft 60 ′ provided in the guide plate 56. In the present embodiment, two are provided at both sides of the guide plate 56 at predetermined intervals. In addition, the drive link 64 to be described below is rotatably connected to the slot roller shaft 60 ′ of the slot roller 60 located relatively backward among the slot rollers 60.

The guide shaft 62 is rotatably installed on the guide bracket 52. The guide shaft 62 is rotated by receiving the power of the drive motor 66. In addition, the guide shaft 62 is provided with a drive link 64. Therefore, when the guide shaft 62 is rotated by the drive of the drive motor 66, the drive link 64 is rotated together to move the guide plate 56 forward and backward. The drive link 64 has a linkage hole 65 (indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 4) in which the slot roller shaft 60 ′ is inserted in the longitudinal direction.

On the other hand, the drive motor 66 is installed below the guide bracket 52. The drive motor 66 is a drive source for providing power required for the movement of the guide plate 56. The driving motor 66 receives the information about the size of the medium m by the recognition unit or the sensor unit before the introduction of the medium m to control the movement of the guide plate 56. Specifically, the drive motor 66 is driven to move the guide plate 56 forward, that is, toward the media inlet 31 by the smaller width when the medium (m) having a relatively small width is retracted.

The drive motor 66 is provided with a drive shaft 68 is rotated in one direction when the drive motor 66 is driven. A driving pulley 68 'is provided at one end of the drive shaft 68, and a driving belt 70 is hooked to the driving pulley 68'. The driving belt 70 is coupled to the driving pulley 62 'provided at one end of the guide shaft 62 to transmit the power of the driving motor 66 to the guide shaft 62.

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

4 shows an example in which a relatively wide old sphere is accumulated in banknotes. First, before the medium m is drawn in, the driving motor 66 is controlled by receiving information about the size of the medium m. When the medium (m) such as old winding is drawn in, the drive motor 66 is not driven. Of course, when the priesthood is introduced before the old authority is introduced, the guide plate 56 will be driven to move in a direction away from the media entrance 31. The medium m is drawn in the direction of the arrow by the drawing roller 36. That is, the medium m is in close contact with the inlet roller 36 and is integrated one by one into the integration space 34. The medium m drawn into the integrated space 34 is evenly integrated in the support plate 44 by the blade 40 rotated by the controller 38.

At this time, the support plate 44 is raised by a predetermined height. The support plate 44 is raised to a height that prevents the medium m from being excessively rotated while the medium m is drawn in and falls. In addition, the support plate 44 is lowered each time the medium m is drawn in, so that the medium m can be stably integrated.

When the medium m is drawn by the inlet roller 36, the tip of the medium m collides with the damper 58 provided on the front surface of the guide plate 56, and the force introduced therein is buffered. It rests on the plate 44. As such, when the medium m is continuously drawn in and the support plate 44 descends to the lower end of the integrated frame 30, the integration of the medium m is completed. Then, from the medium (m) integrated at the bottom, it is emitted to the outside of the integrated frame 30 in the direction of the arrow.

Next, Figure 5 shows an example in which a relatively small priesthood is accumulated in the bill. First, before the medium m is drawn in, the driving motor 66 is controlled by receiving information about the size of the medium m. When the medium m, such as the priesthood, is drawn in, the drive motor 66 rotates in one direction. When the driving motor 66 is rotated, the guide shaft 62 is rotated by receiving power through the driving shaft 68 and the driving belt 70. In FIG. 5, the guide shaft 62 is rotated counterclockwise in an initial state.

As the guide shaft 62 is rotated, the guide plate 56 is moved forward, and the guide plate 56 is guided to the medium inlet 31 while the slot roller 60 is guided to the guide slot 54. Is moved. At this time, the guide plate 56 will be moved by the difference between the width of the old and new priesthood.

Then, the medium m is drawn in the direction of the arrow by the drawing roller 36. That is, the medium m is in close contact with the inlet roller 36 and is integrated one by one into the integration space 34. The medium m drawn into the integrated space 34 is evenly integrated in the support plate 44 by the blade 40 rotated by the controller 38.

As such, since the medium m is drawn in the state in which the guide plate 56 is moved toward the medium inlet 31, the medium m is not integrated in the left and right directions on the support plate 44. It can be integrated evenly in the accumulation space 34. That is, the tip of the medium m is buffered in the damper 58 and is stably integrated in the support plate 44. As such, when the medium m is continuously drawn in and the support plate 44 descends to the lower end of the integrated frame 30, the integration of the medium m is completed. Then, from the medium (m) integrated at the bottom, it is emitted to the outside of the integrated frame 30 in the direction of the arrow.

Finally, FIG. 6 illustrates a case where the priesthood and the old priesthood are arbitrarily accumulated. As such, when media m of different sizes are arbitrarily integrated, the driving motor 66 is rotated in the forward or reverse direction by receiving information such as the size of the media m in advance before the media m is introduced. The movement of the guide plate 56 is adjusted. Accordingly, the point where the front end of the medium m collides is properly adjusted so that the rear end of the medium m can be aligned with the inner surface of the integrated frame 30 as shown in the figure.

In addition, since the medium (m) is integrated so as to be in close contact with the integrated frame 30 corresponding to the medium outlet 32, the medium (m) is separated by a pick-up roller (not shown) one by one from the rear end even when the medium (m) is discharged. Can be.
