2 and 3, the paper money depositing and dispensing apparatus having a paper currency collapse preventing function according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a front plate 110, a back plate 120, a push plate 130, a guide 140 ), A lifter 150, and a bill supporter 200.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Known technology), but the known technology is not described in detail because it may obscure the gist of the present invention.

The front face plate 110 is disposed forward (on the right side in the drawing) of the banknote storage space. The front banknote storing and dispensing apparatus according to the present embodiment may be provided with a banknote storage space in which deposited banknotes can be inserted or withdrawn banknotes can be received. So as to be rotatable around the hinge shaft 111. [0033]

The back plate 120 is disposed behind the front plate 110 to form a rear side wall surface of the bank note accommodating space and can be installed to be movable in the front and rear direction. The bill storage space may be defined as a space formed between the front plate 110 and the back plate 120.

The push plate 130 may be disposed between the front plate 110 and the back plate 120 to divide the bill storage space into a deposit space 101 and a dispensing space 102, And can be moved in the forward and backward direction within the frame.

When the push plate 130 moves toward the front plate 110, it is possible to assist in separating the paper money in the deposit space 101. When the push plate 130 moves toward the back plate 120, It is possible to assist in the accumulation operation of the paper money entering into the withdrawal space 102.

A space formed between the push plate 130 and the front plate 110 may be defined as a deposit space 101 and a space formed between the push plate 130 and the back plate 120 may be defined as a deposit space (102).

The guide part 140 forms a bottom surface of the banknote storage space and is disposed below the push plate 130. The guide part 140 has a lower part of the banknote b to be deposited or withdrawn It can play a supporting role.

The lifter 150 may protrude upward by a predetermined height from the guide unit 140 when lifting the banknote, thereby raising the banknote b placed in the deposit space 102, thereby facilitating the receipt of the banknote.

2, when the banknote depositing mode is performed, the front plate 110 is slightly inclined to form an inclined surface, and the push plate 130 moves toward the back plate 120 at the rear side A deposit space 101 is formed between the push plate 130 and the front plate 110. When the deposit space 101 is formed, the bill b is inserted.

3, the front plate 110 is pivoted when the banknote is separated from the banknote, as shown in FIG. 3, so that the front plate 110 is rotated , The push plate 130 moves toward the front plate 110 to support the paper currency, thereby assisting the paper currency to be smoothly separated from the paper currency.

In the meantime, when a banknote separating operation is being performed, a banknote is conveyed to the withdrawal space 102 to withdraw the banknote again, for example, when there is a counterfeit in the deposited banknote or when the deposit is canceled. 9, the pushing plate 130 is moved toward the back plate 120 to form the dispensing space 102 of the banknote, and the discharged banknotes are discharged to the banknote collection space 102. As a result, And stores bills.

The bills remaining in the deposit space 101 can be dropped on the guide unit 140 as the push plate 130 moves toward the back plate 120. The bill supporter 200 The bill can be prevented from collapsing upward.

The bill supporter 200 and the lifter 150 may be operated by a single drive unit 300. The drive unit 300 may include a lifter 150 and a bill supporter 200, .

The bill supporter 200 may protrude upward from the guide portion 140 while preventing interference with the push plate 130 during the separating operation or the accumulating operation of the bill, thereby preventing the bill from falling down.

As shown in FIG. 4, the drive unit 300 can be independently lifted by lifting the lifter 150 and the bill supporter 200 by receiving power from one power source. It is possible to prevent the cost increase and improve the space utilization.

Specifically, the drive unit 300 includes a drive motor 310, a rotation shaft 320, a first one-way clutch 330, a first rotation unit 340, a first link 350, a second one- 360, a second rotation portion 370, and a second link 380. [

The driving motor 310 is a power source for generating power by being supplied with power, and may be provided with a bi-directional motor capable of forward rotation and reverse rotation.

The rotation shaft 320 is connected to the driving motor 310 to receive a rotational force and may be rotated in one direction according to the rotational direction of the driving motor 310. At both ends of the rotation shaft 320, a bearing 321 for facilitating rotation of the rotation shaft 320 may be provided. The rotation shaft 320 may be a gear having a reduction ratio or may be a power transmission means such as a belt or a chain for receiving the rotational force of the drive motor 310. This may be appropriately selected according to the needs of the practitioner.

The first one-way clutch 330 is installed to rotate only in one direction on the rotation shaft 320. For example, when the rotation shaft 320 rotates in a forward direction, the first one-way clutch 330 is power- However, when the rotary shaft 320 rotates in the reverse direction, the connection of the first one-way clutch is interrupted, so that the power transmission becomes impossible. Since the one-way clutch transmits a rotational force only in a single direction, it is a well-known technique generally known and will not be described in detail.

The first rotary part 340 is connected to the first one-way clutch 330 and is rotated. The first rotary part 340 rotates only when the power of the first one-way clutch 330 is connected, So that it can be rotated in only one direction.

The first link 350 is eccentrically coupled to the first rotation part 340 to convert the rotational motion of the first rotation part 340 into linear motion. The first link 350 is coupled to the lifter 150, (Vertical direction) (see Fig. 5).

In addition, the second one-way clutch 360 receives the rotational force only in a direction different from that of the first one-way clutch 330 on the rotational shaft 320, and is rotated. For example, if the first one-way clutch 330 receives only the forward rotational force of the rotational shaft 320 and connects the power, the second one-way clutch 360 receives only the reverse rotational force of the rotational shaft 320, have. Accordingly, when the first one-way clutch 330 is power-coupled to transmit power, the second one-way clutch 360 is disengaged, and when the second one-way clutch 360 is power- The one-way clutch 330 is powered off and can not transmit the power.

The second rotary part 370 is connected to the second one-way clutch 360 and rotates. The second rotary part 370 also transmits a rotational force only when the power of the second one-way clutch 360 is connected. It can be rotated only in one direction.

The second link 380 is eccentrically coupled to the second rotating part 370 to convert the rotational motion of the second rotating part 370 into linear motion. The second link 380 is coupled to the bill supporter 200, The supporter 200 can be raised and lowered in the height direction. Since the second rotation part 370 is eccentrically coupled to the second link 380 at a position spaced apart from the rotation center by a predetermined radius even if the second rotation part 370 is rotated in only one direction, the bill supporter 200 can perform the reciprocating motion (See Fig. 6)

The first rotating part 340 and the second rotating part 370 may include a first fixing pin 341 and a second fixing pin 342 installed at the rotational centers of the first rotating part 340 and the second rotating part 370, (Not shown). The first fixing pin 341 may support the first rotation part 340 while being the center of rotation of the first rotation part 340 and the second fixing pin 371 may support the second rotation part 370 The second rotating portion 370 can be supported while being rotated.

The lifter 150 and the bill supporter 200 are spaced apart from each other so as not to interfere with each other when the lifter 150 and the bill supporter 200 are operated. For this purpose, the first link 350 and the second link 380 They can be spaced apart from each other.

2, the paper money depositing and dispensing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a separation position sensing sensor 400, a withdrawal position sensing sensor 500, and an operation signal sensor 600, As shown in FIG.

The separation position sensing sensor 400 may be provided near the front plate 110. The separation position sensing sensor 400 may be fixed to the structure around the front plate 110 and may be mounted on the push plate 130). When the push plate 130 moves toward the front plate 110 to perform the separating operation, the separating position detecting sensor 400 detects the pushing plate 130 to start the separating operation of the bank notes.

The dispensing position detecting sensor 500 may be fixed to a structure near the back plate 120, that is, around the back plate 120, and detects the push plate 130 moved to the dispensing position, The accumulation operation of the bank notes can be started.

The operation signal sensor 600 is disposed between the separation position detection sensor 400 and the dispensing position detection sensor 500 and detects the position of the push plate 130 moving between the separation position and the dispensing position. It is possible to prevent the bill supporter 200 protruded above the guide portion 140 from interfering with the push plate 130 in order to prevent the bill from being collapsed.

The bill supporter 200 starts to operate based on the signal of the operation signal sensor 600. [ For example, when there is a distance between the separation position detection sensor 400 and the release position detection sensor 500 when the push plate 130 at the separation position moves to the withdrawal position in order to perform the accumulation operation of the banknotes to be leased, When the operation signal sensor 600 senses the push plate 130, the bill supporter 200 can not detect the position of the push plate 130 in any of the two sensors. The bill supporter 200 protruded upward from the bottom surface of the guide part 140 and protruded from the bottom surface of the guide part 140 does not interfere with the moving push plate 130, It is possible to prevent the banknotes from collapsing by supporting the banknote waiting to be separated in the depositing space 101 from below. A detailed description thereof will be given later with reference to Figs. 7 to 11. Fig.

Meanwhile, the present embodiment may further include a first position sensor 700 and a second position sensor 800.

The first position sensor 700 and the second position sensor 800 are configured to detect the position of the bill supporter 200. Even if the first position sensor 700 and the second position sensor 800 are not provided Although the bill supporter 200 can operate, since the operation of the bill supporter 200 is also based on a mechanical mechanism, an operation delay or malfunction may occur. Therefore, the position of the bill supporter 200 can be accurately detected So that the bill supporter 200 and the push plate 130 can be prevented from interfering with each other.

The first position sensor 700 is disposed below the guide unit 140 and can detect the position of the bill supporter 200 at a lower portion of the guide unit 140. The first position sensor 700 may be installed on the lower end of the bill supporter 200, which is in a fully lowered position to sense the position of the bill supporter 200. Therefore, when the first position sensor 700 provides a sensing signal, the bill supporter 200 can be viewed as being completely lowered.

The second position sensor 800 may additionally be provided to increase the position sensing reliability of the bill supporter 200 and may be disposed between the guide portion 140 and the first position sensor 700 . The second position sensor 800 may be installed on the lower end of the bill supporter 200 in a fully raised position to sense a state in which the bill supporter 200 is fully raised.

The first position sensor 700 and the second position sensor 800 can provide on and off signals so that the first position sensor 700 and the second position sensor 800 can be rotated in a state where the bill supporter 200 is completely lowered. The second position sensor 800 provides an on signal and the first position sensor 700 provides an off signal and the second position sensor 800 provides an off signal while the bill supporter 200 is ascending. and the first position sensor 700 and the second position sensor 800 may provide an off signal when the bill supporter 200 is fully raised.

Accordingly, if the first position sensor 700 and the second position sensor 800 do not provide predetermined signals under the corresponding conditions, it may be determined as an error, and the user may be notified and checked.

Hereinafter, the operation of the paper currency deposit and withdrawal apparatus having the paper currency collapse preventing function according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 11. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the bank bill b is leaking during the separation operation of the banknotes stored in the deposit space 101, the push plate 130 stops the separating operation and moves toward the back plate 120 At this time, since the operation signal sensor 600 does not yet detect the push plate 130, the bill supporter 200 is not operated.

8, when the operation signal sensor 600 senses the push plate 130, the bill supporter 200 ascends based on the signal, So that the banknotes are prevented from collapsing.

9, when the push plate 130 is moved to the withdrawal position, the withdrawal position detecting sensor 500 senses the push plate 130, and the accumulation operation of the lease bank is performed , The push plate 130 assists in supporting the side surface of the REJEC banknote so as not to collapse.

10, the push plate 130 is moved to the front plate 110 (separated position) to perform the separating operation again. At this time, When the off signal is output from the detection sensor 500, the bill supporter 200 is prevented from interfering with the moving push plate 130 on the basis of the off signal. Even if the bill supporter 200 descends, the bill in the deposit space is pushed by the pushing plate 130 to stand upright again, and the discharged banknote in the deposit space 102 does not collapse, So as to be inclined at an oblique angle.

11, when the push plate 130 continuously moves and an off signal is output from the operation signal sensor 600, the push plate 130 is determined to have moved sufficiently, So that the banknotes can be prevented from collapsing by supporting the discharged banknotes in the withdrawal space from below.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, It is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto.
