For example, a discrimination module 40 may be further provided between the lead-in unit 10 and the storage unit 30 to identify the denomination of the medium. The discrimination module 40 may be a discriminating means generally employed in a financial instrument to identify a denomination of the medium. If the medium received from the lead-in portion 10 passes through the discrimination module 40, if the discrimination result of the discrimination module 40 is identified as a normal medium, the medium can be stored in the storage portion 30. The medium here may be media, securities, jiro, coins, gift certificates, and the like.

When the medium received from the lead-in unit 10 passes through the evaluation module 40, it can be stored in the medium storage box 100 if the discrimination result of the evaluation module 40 is identified as an abnormal medium. In addition, the medium storage box 100 may be configured to selectively store the abnormal medium in the medium stored in the storage unit 30 during withdrawal, and may be configured to store the abnormal medium in the rejected medium or the withdrawal unit 20 And may be configured to receive the retracted media.

 For example, a medium that has been withdrawn to the withdrawal unit 20 but has been attempted by the customer, a medium determined to be an abnormal medium by the discrimination module 40, a medium not recognized by the discrimination module 40, Media that has not been withdrawn).

3 to 7 and the upper conductor 330 of the sensing unit 300 in order to determine whether or not the abnormal medium stored in the medium storage box 100 is stored. The presence or absence of the medium can be determined between the base 200 and the sensing unit 300 depending on whether current flows.

In the conventional case, the presence of the medium is determined by attaching an infrared sensor in the media storage box 100, but it has been necessary to operate the sensor continuously in real time. If the angle of the sensor is changed, there was.

In the case of the sensor driving method, since it is operated in real time, there is a problem that a lot of costs are incurred.

In addition, there has been a problem that a structure for removing the static electricity accumulated in transporting the medium has to be additionally constructed.

The financial instrument 1 according to the present embodiment detects the presence or absence of the medium based on the current flow of the base and the sensing unit in contact with the medium entering the medium storage box 100, And a technique capable of removing static electricity from the medium upon entry.

For example, the groove 112 may be formed in a concave or convex shape. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the grooves 112 are all satisfactory as long as the extension portions 233 are sandwiched therebetween.

For example, the grooves 112 may be formed along the height direction of the inner surface of the case.

For example, the base 200 can move up and down with the extension portion 233 fitted in the groove 112. The base 200 can be held in the case 110 without being shaken while keeping the base 200 in a state of being left-right balanced with the extension portion 233 fitted in the groove 112.

When the base 200 is moved up and down, the plurality of extended portions 233 move up and down in a state sandwiched between the grooves 112, so that the base 200 can be moved up and down with the balance of the base 200 kept unchanged Lt; / RTI >

The extension portion 233 may be formed in a shape extending from the upper surface of the base 200 to the side surface of the base 200 and may be formed on the side surface of the base 200 in order to fix the extension portion 233 to the base 200.

For example, the extension portion 233 may be detachably fitted to the fixing groove 234.

FIG. 9 is a view showing another embodiment of FIG. 8, in which the half-media is transferred between the sensing unit and the base. Figure 9 differs from Figure 8 above in media size. In the following, the same reference numerals are used for the same constituent elements, and redundant explanations are omitted.

Media of different size from ordinary media can be half media. The half-media may be an unsteady medium in which the medium is cut in half, folded or strange in shape.

For example, the half-media may be smaller than the size of a typical medium. When the half media are fed to the upper side of the base 200, the half media can be in contact with the upper ends of the cheek portions, but the half media conveyed toward the entering side are connected to the cheek portions 232 gradually spaced along the entering direction The linear portion 231 may be configured to be in contact with any one of the linear portions 231.

For example, the half media to be fed toward the entering direction side are arranged so that the distance between the straight portions 231 is further distanced by the slanted portion 232 than the distance between the 1-1th and 1-2th upper conductors 311 and 312, The half medium may be formed by electrically connecting only one of the 2-1 and 2-2 upper conductors 321 and 322 to the lower conductor 230.

The half medium is not disposed on the linear portion 231 of the first lower conductor 210 but is disposed in contact with the upper side of the linear portion 231 of the second lower conductor 220, 1 upper conductor 321 and the first lower conductor 210 may be electrically connected to each other and may be electrically connected to the 1-1 upper conductor 311 through the first lower conductor 210.

On the other hand, the 1-2 and 2-2 upper conductors 312 and 322 can be electrically disconnected by the second lower conductor 220.

This is because the one half of the half media conveyed to the entry direction side is electrically connected to the conductors and the other side is not electrically connected. Thus, the above-described determination unit (not shown) is provided between the sensing unit 300 and the base 200 By recognizing that the size of the medium is different from the size of a general medium, it can be detected that the abnormal medium is being transported.

For example, the distances of the 2-1 and 2-2 upper conductors 321 and 322 may be spaced by a distance corresponding to the length of a common medium.

The connection portion 360 includes a first portion 361 to which the contact portion 363 is connected and a second portion 362 that protrudes outwardly from the contact portion 363 horizontally in the first portion 361 .

The contact portion 363 may be disposed on the lower surface side of the sensing portion 300 and the contact portion 363 may be electrically connected to the connection portion 360. [ The contact portion 363 may be in physical contact with the lower conductor 230.

The contact portion 363 may be formed in an arc shape in section. The contact portion 363 is formed in an arc shape, so that when the medium is fed toward the entry direction side. And may be configured to separate the base 200, which is in contact with the sensing unit 300, from the sensing unit 300.

For example, the medium conveyed in the entry direction contacts the sensing portion 300 and the contact portion 363, and then the contact portion 363 and the lower conductor 230 and may be configured to release the electrical flow of the upper conductor 330 and the lower conductor 230.

For example, the base 200 may be inclined with respect to a horizontal plane, and the cross-section of the contact portion 363 provided on the base 200 is formed in an arc shape so that the medium fed in the entering direction is inclined downward, And slid down to the lower end of the contact portion 363 to easily enter the contact portion 363 and the lower conductor 230. [ The sensing unit 300 may be configured to separate the base 200 from the sensing unit 300.

In order to connect the sensing unit 300 and the upper conductor 330, the sensing unit 300 may include an insertion groove 350.

The inserting groove 350 may be formed such that the upper conductor 330 is inserted in a downward direction from the upper surface side of the sensing portion 300. The insertion groove 350 may be configured to allow the contact portion 363 to pass therethrough. The contact portion 363 may be configured to be exposed to the lower surface of the sensing portion 300.

The insertion groove 350 may be sized to allow passage of the contact portion 363 but not permit passage of the second portion 362 of the connecting portion 360. The second portion 362 of the connection portion 360 is configured to be supported on the upper surface of the sensing portion 300.

For example, the insertion groove 350 may be formed to correspond to the outer periphery of the contact portion 363 such that the contact portion 363 is allowed.
