1, a financial automatic machine 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a media storage unit 110 in which a paper medium P is stored, a paper medium 100 supplied from the medium storage unit 110, A medium carrier 130 for transporting the paper medium P transported through the medium transporting unit 120 and a carrier for forming a movement path when the medium carrier 130 moves, A carrier position adjustment unit 150 that adjusts the position of the media carrier 130 and a carrier position adjustment unit 150 that is disposed within the movement range of the media carrier 130 and is not received in the withdrawal unit 180 and retracted A recovery medium storage unit 155 for recovering the paper medium P determined to be rejected when the paper medium P is recovered or the paper medium P is conveyed along the medium conveying unit 120, And a withdrawal portion 160 for withdrawing the paper medium P conveyed through the medium carrier 130. [

First, the medium storage unit 110 plays a role of storing the paper medium P. The paper medium P may be a bill, a check, a gift certificate, a ticket, and the like. The media storage unit 110 may be a cassette that can be detachably coupled to a plurality of storage spaces 110S formed in the height direction of the automatic teller machine 100. [ In this way, the paper media P can be stored in the media storage unit 110 and the media storage unit 110 can be selectively coupled to the inside of the automated teller machine 100, The paper medium P can be supplied or withdrawn inside.

The medium transferring unit 120 is a unit for transferring the paper mediums P stored in the medium storing unit 110 one sheet at a time between the medium storing unit 110 and the carrier position adjusting unit 150, And can supply the paper media P in the media carrier 130 disposed in the carrier position adjustment unit 150. [ The medium transferring unit 120 includes a plurality of rollers and a belt for transferring the paper medium P. That is, when the roller rotates, the belt circulates and the paper medium P can be transported.

The medium transfer unit 120 may be provided with a medium sensor 122 for detecting whether the paper medium P transferred from the medium storage unit 110 is a single medium. That is, the media sensing sensor 122 senses a change in the thickness of the paper medium P transported by the medium transporting unit 120 to determine whether the paper medium P is a single piece of paper.

A sheet roller (not shown) may be disposed at the exit of the medium transferring unit 120 to feed the paper medium P transferred by the medium transferring unit 120 into the medium carrier 130 one by one.

On the other hand, the media carrier 130 is a portion that carries at least one paper medium P transported by the medium transporting unit 120 in a loaded state. The medium loaded in the medium carrier 130 may be formed of a single piece of paper medium P or a plurality of pieces of paper medium P.

The media carrier 130 may include a first carrier portion 131 and a second carrier portion 132 that is accessible or spaced relative to the first carrier portion 131. The first carrier portion 131 and the second carrier portion 132 are formed in a panel shape so that the second carrier portion 132 can approach the first carrier portion 131, Can be fixed.

On the other hand, the media carrier 130 having such a configuration can be transferred to the payout unit 180 along the carrier transfer unit 140. The carrier transferring unit 140 may be formed between the carrier position adjusting unit 150 and the payout unit 180, which will be described later. The carrier transporting part 140 may be formed in a rail structure so that the media carrier 130 can be transported as a whole.

Hereinafter, in this embodiment, a plurality of dispensing units 160 are provided in the automated teller machine 100, and accordingly, a plurality of carrier transfer units 140 are also provided. The carrier transfer unit 140 includes a front carrier transfer unit 142 connected to a withdrawal unit 160 formed on the front side of the automatic teller machine 100, A rear carrier transferring part 144 connected to the withdrawal part 160 formed on the rear surface and an upper carrier transferring part 146 connected to the upper withdrawal part 160.

On the other hand, the carrier position adjustment unit 150 serves to change the position of the medium carrier 130, as shown in FIG. In other words, the carrier position adjustment unit 150 rotates the media carrier 130 so that the opening portion of the media carrier 130 moves in the direction of the exit of the medium transfer unit 120, the direction of the entrance of the front carrier transfer unit 142, The position of the medium carrier 130 may be changed so as to face either the entrance direction of the transfer unit 144, the entrance direction of the upper carrier transfer unit 146, or the entrance direction of the recovery medium storage unit 150 described later.

The carrier position adjustment unit 150 also serves to rotate the media carrier 130 to change its position and to transfer the media carrier 130 along the carrier transport unit 140. Therefore, the media carrier 130 can be transferred to each of the withdrawal portions 160, thereby supplying the paper medium P gripped in the medium carrier 130 to the withdrawal portion 160.

1, a paper medium P in which an abnormality is detected when a paper medium P is transported through the medium transporting unit 120 is transported to a media carrier (not shown) 130, but is transferred to the recovery medium storage unit 155, which will be described later, through a reject medium transfer unit 153 forming another path.

1, the reject medium transferring unit 153 can transfer the rejected paper medium P composed of a plurality of rollers and belts to the recovery medium storage unit 155. [

Meanwhile, the recovery medium storage unit 155 of the present embodiment is determined to be rejected while being conveyed along the paper medium P or the medium conveyance unit 120 that has been withdrawn from the withdrawal unit 160 but has not yet been received, (P) conveyed through the paper feed path (153).

In other words, the recovery medium storage unit 155 stores the paper media P that have not yet been received by the customer and are retracted, and the paper medium P that is abnormally discharged from the medium storage unit 110 to the medium transfer unit 120, (P). ≪ / RTI >

The structure of the dispensing unit 160 of the automated teller machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. The dispensing unit 160 of the present embodiment has a structure that is opened or cut off by the shutter 164. That is, when the paper medium P is delivered to the payout unit 160 by the medium carrier 130, the shutter 164 of the payout unit 160 is opened to supply the paper medium P, The shutter 164 of the payout unit 160 is cut off and the payout unit 160 can be cut off.

However, during the process of receiving the paper medium P of the withdrawal unit 160, the human hand can be kept in the state of being drawn between the shutters 164, or the article of the recipient, for example, The shutter 164 may be interrupted between the shutter 164 and the shutter 164 so that the shutter 164 may not be smoothly interrupted. Since this may cause a failure in the shut-off structure of the shutter 164, the structure of the shutter 164 that can cope with this case is also required, and the shutter 164 structure of this embodiment can cope with such a demand.

2 to 4, the dispensing unit 160 of the present embodiment includes a frame body 161 that forms a basic frame, A shutter 164 which is opened and closed at the opening of the frame body 161 and a lever 165 which is coupled to the shutter 164 at one side and rotatably engaged with the side frame 163a of the frame body 161 A locking unit 180 for locking the operation of the lever 165 and a locking unit 180 for detecting the operation of the locking unit 180 and the lever 165 A sensing unit 190 and a control unit (not shown) for controlling the operation of the rotation unit 171 based on sensing information of the sensing unit 190.

2 and 5, the frame body 161 includes a front frame (not shown) having a box shape and having a portion to which the paper medium P is fed to open to form an opening portion, And side frames 163a and 163b disposed on both sides of the front frame to form both sides.

The shutter 164 has a shape that can completely block the opening portion. Accordingly, when the shutter 164 is closed at the opening portion of the dispensing unit 160, access to the inside of the dispensing unit 160 from the outside is impossible, and thus stability can be secured.

3 and 4, one side of the lever 165 is fixedly coupled to the shutter 164 and the other side thereof is coupled to the rotation part 171 and rotates when the rotation part 171 rotates, 164 to open or shut off. The lever 165 is rotated by the rotation unit 171 so that the lever 165 is lifted when the rotation unit 171 rotates in the clockwise direction (reference A, FIGS. 3 and 4) or rotates in the counterclockwise direction B As shown in Fig. A sensing rib 168 may be mounted on the inner surface of the lever 165 to cooperate with an open sensor 193, which is a sensor for detecting the opening of the shutter 164. This will be described in detail.

3 and 4, the rotating unit 171 can be rotated in the clockwise direction A or in the counterclockwise direction B by the driving force transmitted from the driving unit 170 The shutter 164 is opened by lifting the lever 165 when the rotation part 171 rotates in the clockwise direction A. When the rotation part 171 rotates in the counterclockwise direction B, Is lowered, thereby shutting off the shutter 164.

To this end, the rotating portion 171 has a cylindrical protruding protrusion 172 protruding from the outer surface, and the lever 165 has a fitting hole 166 through which the protruding protrusion 172 is rotatably engaged. With this structure, the protrusion protrusion 172 rotates with respect to the engaging hole 166 when the rotating portion 171 rotates, and the lever 165 can rotate.

The rotating portion 171 of the present embodiment may further include a locking portion operating member 173 protruding from the outer surface in the shape of a band of a closed section and interacting with a locking portion 180 to be described later. This will be described in detail when the locking unit 180 is described.

On the other hand, even when an external force for opening the shutter 164 is applied from the outside when the shutters 164 are kept in the shutoff state, the shutters 164 can firmly maintain the shutoff state by the locking portions 180. [

3 and 4, the locking portion 180 of this embodiment is rotatably coupled to the side frame 163a to cooperate with the rotation portion 171 to lock or unlock the lever 165 It plays a role. The locking portion 180 includes a locking body 181 which is rotatably coupled to the side frame 163a and a locking member 182 which is extended from the locking body 181 and is engaged with the engaging member 167 of the lever 165 A locking member 182 and a sensor sensing member 183 extending from the locking body 181 and selectively sensed by a blocking detection sensor 191 to be described later.

The locking portion 180 may cooperate with the rotation portion 171 during rotation of the rotation portion 171 to maintain or release the locking state of the lever 165. [ In other words, when the rotation part 171 rotates in the clockwise direction A, the locking part 180, which has kept the contact with the locking part protrusion member 173 of the rotation part 171, And is rotated in a direction opposite to the rotating direction of the rotating portion 171 (counterclockwise). That is, the locking portion 180, which has maintained the state shown in Fig. 3, rotates to the state shown in Fig. 4 by the interaction with the locking portion operating member 173 when the rotating portion 171 rotates. Thus, the engaging member 182 of the locking portion 180 can be released from the engaging member 167 of the lever 165. The lever 165 can freely rotate with respect to the rotation part 171 when the rotation part 171 rotates in the clockwise direction A so that the shutter 164 can be opened.

On the other hand, when the rotating portion 171 rotates counterclockwise (B) to close the shutter 164, the lever 165 can cooperate with the rotating portion 171 to lower the shutter 164, The locking portion 180 also rotates clockwise so that the locking member 182 of the locking portion 180 can be engaged with the locked member 167 of the lever 165. [

However, unlike the unlocking operation of the locking portion 180, the return operation of the locking portion 180 is performed by an elastic force. A restoring spring 184 for rotating the locking body 181 in the clockwise direction is mounted on the shaft of the locking body 181. When the shutter 164 is closed by the restoring force of the restoring spring 184, 180 may rotate to lock the locking portion 180 with respect to the lever 165.

The sensor sensing member 183 of the locking unit 180 interacts with the sensing unit 190 to inform whether the lever 165 is locked or not.

As described above, the dispensing section 160 of the present embodiment is provided with a sensing section 190 (see FIG. 1) for appropriately adjusting the operation of the rotation section 171 by sensing the locking state of the locking section 180 and the opening / And a control unit (not shown) for controlling the operation of the rotation unit 171 based on the information of the sensing unit 190.

3 and 4, the sensing unit 190 of the present embodiment includes a blocking detection sensor 191 that senses the operation of the locking unit 180 and senses the blocking of the shutter 164, And an opening detection sensor 193 for sensing the opening of the shutter 164 by detecting the operation of the shutter 164. [

3, the blocking detection sensor 191 of the present embodiment is configured such that the locking member 180 of the locking portion 180 and the lever 165 of the lever 165 in the turning radius of the locking portion 180 And is engaged with the side frame 163a corresponding to the position where the engaging member 167 is engaged. In this blocking detection sensor 191, the sensor sensing member 183 of the above-described locking portion 180 can be partially introduced.

That is, in the blocking state, the locking unit 180 maintains the maximum rotation state in the clockwise direction. At this time, when the sensor sensing member 183 is sensed by the blocking sensing sensor 191, the control unit keeps the locking state of the shutter 164 .

On the other hand, the opening detection sensor 193 is coupled to the side frame 163a corresponding to the position where the lever 165 is rotated up to the maximum during the rotation radius of the lever 165, as shown in Fig. Therefore, when the lever 165 is rotated upward so that the shutter 164 is opened, the sensing rib 168 mounted on the inner side of the lever 165 can be pulled into the opening detection sensor.

In other words, in order to open the shutter 164, the lever 165 keeps its rotation as fully rotated upwards as the sensing rib 168 of the lever 165 is sensed by the shutter detection sensor 193, 164 are opened and the open state is maintained.

Meanwhile, during the process of receiving the paper medium P of the dispensing unit 160, when the human hand is kept in the state of being drawn between the shutters 164, or the article of the recipient, for example, So that the shutter 164 may not be smoothly interrupted.

Since this case can happen during the unconscious of the recipient, it is important to convey the information to the recipient.

Accordingly, in order to notify the user that an external element, such as the recipient's hand, is interposed between the shutters 164, after the predetermined time has elapsed, the rotary unit 171 is repeatedly rotated in both directions, Let the element be priced. That is, the controller controls the rotary part 171 to rotate in both directions at a predetermined angle so that one side of the shutter 164 makes the outer element price, thereby allowing the recipient to recognize that the outer element is interposed between the shutters 164 .

In this case, however, the external element may not be removed. When a person's hand is caught between the shutters 164, the recipient can recognize the recipient by the above-described operation so that the hand of the person can be pulled out of the shutter 164. For example, May occur.

In this case, that is, when the shutter 164 repeatedly touches the external element by the command signal of the control unit, but the external element is not removed, the shutter 164 must be blocked as much as possible with the external element interposed therebetween.

At this time, when the shutter 164 is kept in the cutoff state by the driving of the driving unit 170, not only power consumption occurs but also a configuration for driving the shutter 164 when the person forcibly intends to open the shutter 164 An external force may be applied to the discharge portion 160 of the dispensing unit 160 of the present embodiment, so that the dispensing unit 160 of the present embodiment may further include a shutoff spring 195 as shown in FIG.

This blocking spring 195 is mounted on the other side frame 163b disposed side by side with the side frame 163a on which the rotating portion 171 and the lever 165 are mounted and the other one A force for lowering the lever 165a of the lever 165a is generated.

Therefore, even if the driving force of the driving unit 170 is removed when the external element is interposed in the shutter 164, the shutter 164 can maintain the blocking state by the elastic force of the blocking spring 195, There is an advantage that the shutter 164 can be opened to some extent by the elastic structure of the blocking spring 195 so that the external element can be removed even if the shutter 164 is opened to some extent.

Hereinafter, a shutter opening / closing method of the automatic teller machine 100 having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method of opening and closing a shutter of a financial automatic machine according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The method for opening and closing the shutter of the automatic teller machine 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the unlocking step S100, the shutter opening step S200, the opening maintaining step S300, And a shutter interrupting step (S400).

The unlocking step S100 of the present embodiment can be proceeded by detaching the sensor sensing member 183 of the locking part 180 from the abovementioned blocking detection sensor 191. [ The driving unit 170 is driven by the command signal of the control unit so that the rotation unit 171 can be rotated in the clockwise direction A. The rotation of the lever 165 causes the locking unit 180 to rotate about the lever 165, Can be released.

The shutter opening step S200 of the present embodiment is a step of opening the shutter 165 in the clockwise direction (A) of the rotation part 171 by the rotation of the lever 165 mounted with the shutter 164 and the sensing rib 168 mounted on the lever 165 Can be completed by being sensed by the opening sensor 193. In other words, when the sensing rib 168 is sensed by the open sensing sensor 193, the sensed information is transmitted to the control unit, and the control unit maintains the open state of the shutter 164 based on the sensing information.

The open maintenance step S300 of the present embodiment is determined through information obtained from a medium detection sensor (not shown) that detects the presence or absence of the paper medium P in the withdrawal portion 160. [ That is, when the recipient pulls out the paper medium P in the withdrawal unit 160, the medium sensor transmits to the control unit the absence of the paper medium P in the withdrawal unit 160, .

In the shutting off step S400 of the present embodiment, when the withdrawal is completed, the rotary part 171 is rotated counterclockwise (B) by a command signal from the control part to lower the lever 165 mounted with the shutter 164 . At this time, closing of the shutter 164 can be detected by detecting the sensor detecting member 183 of the locking part 180 in the blocking detection sensor 191.

On the other hand, as described above, when an external element is interposed between the shutters 164 during the shutter interrupting step (S400), the closing operation of the shutter 164 can not proceed smoothly.

The shutter opening / closing method of the automatic teller machine 100 according to the present embodiment includes a warning step S500 of giving a warning to an external element and a step S500 of forcibly releasing the shutter 164 when the external element is not removed, (Step S600).

In the warning step S500 of the present embodiment, the control unit causes the shutter 164 to charge the external element by repeatedly rotating the rotating part 171 bidirectionally, thereby giving a warning to the external element.

However, even if this warning is given, the external element may not be removed. At this time, the shutter 164 can be forcibly closed by performing the forced blocking step S600. At this time, the control unit forcibly releases the driving force of the driving unit 170 so that the shutter 164 can be blocked by the force of the blocking spring 195.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the opening and closing of the shutter 164 can be realized by a simple structure and step, and the shutter 164 can be locked by locking the lever 165, The opening and closing of the door is not performed by an artificial force, thereby improving security.

In addition, when an external element is interposed in the shutter 164, it is possible to remove the external element by giving a warning that the external element can be removed, as well as to be able to block the shutter 164 to the maximum extent There are advantages.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, such modifications or variations are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims.
