In general, a medium inserted in a financial automation apparatus is conveyed along such a complicated medium conveying path. In accordance with a final conveying destination of the medium, a conveying path of each conveying path is selectively conveyed to one of a plurality of conveying paths Need to be. In this manner, the operation of selectively changing and transporting the transport path of the medium is referred to as branching of the medium.

In order to branch the medium, a media branching device having a wedge-shaped blade on which the medium moves and a swing selector, which is a kind of solenoid for changing the direction of the blade, is used.

However, in the conventional media branching apparatus having such a structure, the angle can be changed only at the first angle and the second angle corresponding to both limits of the movable range of the swing selector. Therefore, in order to branch media in two directions inside a financial automation device, one swing selector is required. If the media is to be branched in three or four directions, two swing selectors are required, and furthermore, More than three swing selectors are required to branch in the above direction.

The increase in the number of actuators such as the swing selector leads to an increase in the price of a financial automation machine. There is a limitation in arranging a plurality of actuators in a narrow internal space of a financial automation machine, have

Hereinafter, a media branching apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a media branching apparatus (hereinafter referred to as "the present invention") according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of the media branching apparatus shown in FIG.

1 and 2, a media branching apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes a frame (not shown), a shaft 12 coupled to the frame (not shown) (1, 2, 3, 4) is connected to at least four media transport paths (1, 2, 3, 4) (1, 2, 3, 4) for guiding the medium to be transported to one of the medium transport paths (1, 2, 3, 4) A sensing unit 35 for sensing the degree of rotation of the shaft 12 and a driving force transmitting unit 45 for selectively transmitting a driving force to the shaft in accordance with the detected degree of rotation.

Generally, a plurality of media transportation paths are formed in a financial automatic machine including a path through which the medium moves for depositing, withdrawing, etc., and a path for discharging defective or damaged money. The area where the media transport paths meet is referred to as a branch zone, and the zone shown in FIGS. 3B, 4B, and 5B, which will be described in detail later, corresponds to the branch zone.

The blade 10 is rotatably disposed in this branching zone and serves to guide the medium conveyed from one of the medium conveyance paths toward another medium conveyance path. The blade 10 itself may be formed of a plurality of wedge-shaped fins, and the surface of the wedge-shaped fin may be formed as a rounded concave surface so that the medium can smoothly move. Then, the blade 10 is fixed to the shaft 12 and rotates together with the shaft 12.

First, the rotary member 20 can rotate with the relative position of the blade 10 and the shaft 12 being fixed. The plurality of projections 21, 22, 23, and 24 may have different sizes, and the plurality of projections 21, 22, 23, and 24 may have different widths. have.

The plurality of projections 21, 22, 23, and 24 may include a home position protrusion 21 as a reference for calculating the rotational angle, a plurality of position protrusions 21 disposed in the circumferential direction from the home position protrusion 21 22, 23, 24).

The control unit 32 controls the driving force transmitting unit 45 to transmit the driving force to the shaft 12 and detects the origin point protrusion 21 by the sensing sensor 30, It is possible to control the driving force transmitting portion 45 to block the driving force transmitted to the shaft 12 when predetermined position projections 22, 23, 24 of the position projections 22, 23, 24 are detected .

The driving force transmitting portion 45 includes a clutch selectively engaged with the shaft according to the detected degree of rotation and a driving force transmission gear 42 for transmitting the driving force to the clutch, 45 may transmit a driving force for rotating the shaft in one direction.

Here, when the sensing sensor 30 senses a specific one of the origin projections 21 and the position projections 22, 23 and 24, the clutch 40 controls the rotation of the blade 10 by the control unit 32, Thereby blocking the driving force for rotating the rotary member 20, thereby causing the blade 10 to be positioned toward an intended one of the plurality of media transportation paths 1, 2, 3, 4. The clutch 40 may be installed such that the relative position of the clutch 40 is fixed relative to the automatic teller machine.

The driving force transmitting gear 42 rotates at a uniform speed and transmits the rotational force transmitted from the driving force transmitting gear 42 to the rotating member 20 when the clutch 40 is in the ON state, 20 and the blade 10 to which the relative position is fixed can rotate at a uniform speed.

If the drive force transmitted to the drive force transmission gear 42 to rotate the blade 10 and the rotary member 20 through the clutch 40 is a main drive source for driving the medium in the automated teller machine, If a drive source for driving the components other than the apparatus is driven, a motor for arranging the blades 10 is omitted since a separate driving source for rotating the blades 10 and the rotary member 20 is not required Thus, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the financial automation device and reduce the restriction of the internal space of the financial automation equipment and increase the degree of freedom.

The origin projections 21 of the rotary member 20 may be formed to have different widths from the position projections 22, 23 and 24 with reference to the rotation direction. The time during which the detection sensor 30 is blocked by the origin point protrusion 21 as the rotary member 20 rotates is longer than the time covered by the position protrusions 22, And the origin point protrusion 21 can be discriminated by measuring the time when the detection sensor 30 is covered with the protrusions 21, 22, 23,

For example, when the origin point protrusion 21 has the narrowest width among all the protrusions 21, 22, 23, and 24 as shown in FIG. 2, the protrusion having the shortest time to cover the detection sensor 30 is the origin It is judged to be the projection 21.

Hereinafter, a method of controlling the medium branching device according to the first embodiment and arranging the blade 10 toward a specific medium transfer path will be described.

First, the reference position is set by the detection sensor 30 discriminating the origin protrusion 21, and then by counting the number of times the detection sensor 30 is covered by the position protrusions 22, 23, 24 , The blade 10 may be positioned toward a specific one of the plurality of media transport paths.

In Figs. 2 to 6, it is assumed that both the rotary member 20 and the blade 10 are rotated clockwise, so that the arrangement of the blades 10 will be described.

3A is a side view of the media branching apparatus showing a state in which the clutch is OFF after the detection sensor 30 senses the origin point protrusion 21 and FIG. 3B is a side view of the medium branching apparatus in which the blade 10 is moved from the fourth medium transport path 4 Is guided toward the first medium transport path 1. The positional relationship of the blade 10 and the branching zone in the state of Fig. 3A is shown in Fig. 3B.

The time when the origin point protrusion 21 passes the detection sensor 30 is predetermined and the detection sensor 30 is rotated until the rotation member 20 rotates to the state shown in FIG. When the state of FIG. 3A is reached, the sensing sensor 30 senses that the origin point protrusion 21 has passed through the membrane, and the control unit 32 turns off the clutch 40 at this time . 3A is a reference position for controlling the blade 10.

When the rotating member 20 and the blade 10 are in the reference position, the blade 10 must necessarily guide the medium from one media transport path (1, 2, 3, 4) However, it is possible to set the blade 10 to be in the mode for guiding the medium from the fourth medium transport path 4 toward the first medium transport path 1 when the reference position is set as shown in FIG. 3A .

In this case, the origin point protrusion 21 serves not only to determine the reference position but also to define a mode for guiding the medium from one medium transport path to another medium transport path, so that the origin point protrusion 21 The number of the projections 21, 22, 23, 24 including the position projections 22, 23 and 24 is equal to the number of modes in which the blade 10 is disposed toward the medium conveyance path, ) Can be arranged in a desired mode.

However, when the rotary member 20 and the blade 10 are in the reference position, the blade 10 may be set so as not to correspond to a position for guiding the blade 10 from any one of the medium transfer paths to another medium transfer path, The origin point protrusion 21 merely serves to determine the reference position.

Therefore, the number of all the projections 21, 22, 23, 24 including the origin point protrusion 21 and the position projections 22, 23, 24 is set so that the number of the protrusions 21, 22, 23, 1 < / RTI >

Whether or not the reference position corresponds to the specific mode in which the blade 10 is disposed toward the media transport path 1, 2, 3, 4 depends on setting up the financial automation equipment. Hereinafter, The case where the position corresponds to a specific mode will be described as an example.

The rotation of the rotary member 20 and the blade 10 can be detected by only counting the number of times the detection sensor 30 is blocked while the rotary member 20 is rotated. Can be determined.

4A is a side view of the media branching apparatus showing the clutch OFF state after the detection sensor 30 senses the first position projection 22 and FIG. 4B is a side view of the media branching apparatus in which the blade 10 is moved from the fourth medium transfer path 4 FIG. 4B is a conceptual view showing a mode in which the medium of the blade 10 is guided toward the second medium transport path 2, and the positional relationship of the blade 10 and the branching zone in the state of FIG. 4A is shown in FIG.

3A, when the rotary member 20 rotates to the state shown in FIG. 4A, the detection sensor 30 is first obscured by the first position projection 22 (i.e., , The blade 10 is in a mode for guiding the medium from the fourth media transport path 4 to the second medium transport path 2 even if the number of times the detection sensor is hidden after only the reference position is once Can be easily determined.

FIG. 5A is a side view of the media branching apparatus showing the clutch OFF state after the detection sensor senses the second position projection 23, and FIG. 5B is a side view of the media branching apparatus in which the blade 10 moves the medium from the fourth medium transfer path to the third medium FIG. 5B shows a positional relationship between the blade 10 and the branching zone in the state of FIG. 5A.

When the rotary member 20 rotates to the state of FIG. 5A in the state of FIG. 4A, the detection sensor 30 is obscured for a second time by the second position projection 23 (when it is newly calculated from the reference position ), The blade 10 is in the mode of guiding the medium from the fourth media transport path 4 toward the third media transport path 3 even if the number of times the detection sensor is hidden after only the reference position is twice It can be easily determined.

The third position projection 24 is not actually used for positioning the blade 10 in a specific mode, so it is not necessary. However, as described above, if the home position projection 21 is in the reference position and the blade 10 does not correspond to the specific mode in which it is disposed toward the media transportation path, the third position projection 24 must have the necessary configuration do.

6 is a side view of the media branching apparatus in which the rotation sensor 20 is rotated to detect the origin point protrusion 21 by the detection sensor 30. The state of FIG. 6 does not correspond to a separate mode , The state of FIG. 6 continues to rotate in the clockwise direction and returns to the state of FIG. 3A, the reference position is determined again, and the above-described respective modes can be selected from this point.

Up to now, in the case of the fourth embodiment, the blade and the rotary member 20 are rotated in only one direction, and the driving force for rotating the blade 10 and the rotary member 20 causes the medium However, it can be changed as much as the installation environment and requirements of the financial automation equipment.

For example, the number of the position projections may be increased to correspond to five or more media transfer paths, and a separate motor may be mounted as the driving force for rotating the blade 10 and the rotary member 20 . Unlike the prior art in which the number of stepping motors is increased in proportion to the increase in the number of media feeding paths even if a separate motor is mounted, It is possible to arrange the blade 10 toward the conveyance path. Therefore, even when a motor is used as the driving force for rotating the blade 10 and the rotary member 20, the manufacturing cost of the automated teller machine can be reduced compared to the prior art, Can be expected to be increased.

Although the case where the blade 10 and the rotary member 20 can rotate only in one direction has been described so far, they may be rotated in both directions.

3B, 4B and 5B, in order to determine whether the blade 10 is positioned in any of the modes shown in FIGS. 3B, 4B and 5B, after the detection sensor discriminates the origin projection 21, Although a method of counting the number of occlusions by the projections 22, 23, and 24 has been described, a method of determining the position of the blade in a different manner may be used.

3A, each of the origin point protrusion 21, the first position projection 22, the second position projection 23, and the third position projection 24 has a width When the protrusions 21, 22, 23, and 24 pass through the detection sensor 30, if the operating conditions that only the rotating member 20 rotates at a uniform speed are satisfied, (30) are all different. Therefore, by measuring the time that the detection sensor 30 is covered only without discriminating the position of the blade 10 by the number of times the detection sensor 30 covers the position projections 22, 23 and 24, 10 can be determined.

That is, if the position of the blade 10 is determined by the number of times the protrusions 21, 22, 23, 24 cover the detection sensor 30, the blade 10 and the rotary member 20 are moved in one direction 4A. In order to change from the state of FIG. 4A to the state of FIG. 3A, the states of FIGS. 5A, 6, and 3A must be sequentially changed to the state of FIG. 3A. However, if a method of measuring the time when the detection sensor 30 is covered is used, the blade 10 and the rotary member 20 may rotate in both directions.

For example, in order to change from the state of FIG. 4A to the state of FIG. 3A, it is not necessary for the blade 10 and the rotary member 20 to rotate in the clockwise direction, and the detection sensor 30 is covered by the first position projection 22 When the time taken for the first position projection 22 to completely pass through the detection sensor 30 is measured, the detection sensor 30 detects the position of the first position projection 22 , It is possible to determine that the state of Fig. 3A is reached. Of course, even when the blade 10 and the rotary member 20 rotate in one direction, it is possible to prevent the blade 10 from being damaged by measuring the time during which the detection sensor 30 is covered with the protrusions 21, 22, 23, A method of determining the position of the light source can be applied.

Hereinafter, the media branching apparatus according to the second embodiment will be described. In the first embodiment, the origin projections 21 and the position projections 22, 23 and 24 are formed on the rotary member 20, but the position protrusions 22, 23 and 24 are formed in the first embodiment. That is, since the second embodiment shares the characteristics of the blade 10, the detection sensor 30, the clutch 40, and the driving force transmission gear 42 with the first embodiment, The difference from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

The rotary member 20 provided in the media branching device according to the second embodiment rotates while the relative position with the blade 10 is fixed and a plurality of position projections 22 , 23, and 24 are formed.

Since the rotary member 20 of the second embodiment includes only the position projections 22, 23 and 24 without the origin point protrusion 21, there is no need to separately measure the rotation angle. However, the rotation speed of the rotary member 20 is uniform and the position protrusions 22, 23, and 24 are rotated in order to grasp which position projection the detection sensor 30 has passed, The width based on the direction can be set differently.

In this case, the time for covering the detection sensor 30 when the protrusions 22, 23 and 24 pass the detection sensor 30 is all different and only the detection sensors 30 23, and 24 can be detected by measuring the time during which the blade 10 is blocked by detecting the protrusion 22, 23, It is possible to arrange it toward the medium transport path.

According to the second embodiment, since the times at which the detection sensor 30 is covered with the respective position projections 22, 23 and 24 are set differently from each other, for example, from the state of FIG. 4A to the state of FIG. 3A It is not necessary for the blade 10 and the rotary member 20 to rotate in the clockwise direction in order to change, and it is also possible to change to the state shown in Fig. 3A by rotating in the counterclockwise direction directly.

Of course, it is also possible to assume that the blade 10 and the rotary member 20 rotate only in one direction (e.g., clockwise only), since the detection sensor 30 is rotated by the respective position projections 22, 23, 24 , It is not necessary to hold the reference position for calculating the rotation angle of the rotation member 20, and the rotation angle of the rotary member 20 (Hereinafter referred to as "shielding time") of the detection sensor 30 is detected and the shielding time determined in advance for the position projection to be stopped is detected through the detection sensor 30, It is possible to arrange the blade 10 at a desired position by stopping the rotation of the rotary member 20. [

On the other hand, the electromagnetic clutch 40 can be employed as the clutch 40 used in both the first embodiment and the second embodiment, and the clutch 40 is a section in which the sensing sensor 30 senses the respective protrusions And may be controlled by the control unit 32 so as to cut off the driving force applied to the blade 10 and the rotary member 20 every time it is finished.

In this case, the detection of the second position projection 23 from the state of FIG. 3A, in which the detection sensor 30 senses the origin projection 21, The state of FIG. 4A in which the detection sensor 30 senses the first position projection 22 to stop the driving force of the clutch 40 by the control unit 32 .

The clutch 40 is operated by the control unit 32 so that the driving force applied to the blade 10 and the rotary member 20 can be blocked only when the sensing sensor 30 senses the protrusion as the final target It can be controlled.

In this case, the detection of the second position projection 23 from the state of FIG. 3A, in which the detection sensor 30 senses the origin projection 21, Even if the detection sensor 30 senses the first position projection 22 during the process of going to the state of FIG. 5A, the clutch 40 does not interrupt the driving force, and only when the second position projection 23 is detected, 32 to block the driving force applied to the blade 10 and the rotary member 20 by the clutch 40.
