The present invention relates to a banknote automatic storage processor which is an automated bank machine that can automatically perform billing processing processing of bills, and more particularly, it is possible to operate more reliably in moving the bills and storing them in the storage cassette part. The present invention relates to a push-bar device for banknote storage of an automatic bill processor, which can be provided with a very reduced size, which can be advantageous for miniaturization of the device.

In general, banks and the like are widely used in various types of financial automation equipment, and among them, there are devices that automatically receive and process bills, such as a single bill and a check.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bill acceptor automatic receipt processing unit 100, an inlet port 102 for injecting or returning user bills in a sheet, and an inlet for transporting the inserted bills in a plane state along a conveyance path. The conveying apparatus 104 formed from the part 102 to the storage cassette part 118 mentioned later, the sorting part 106 which arranges the banknote provided in the conveyance path to one side, and a conveyance path CIS (Contact Image Sensor; contact type image sensor) unit 108 for scanning the banknotes provided on the bank and obtaining image information as banknote information, and a magnetic sheet printed on the banknotes provided on the conveying path. MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) unit 110 for acquiring character information as banknote information, and double sheet detection unit 112 for detecting whether two or more banknotes provided on the conveying path overlap with each other. , It is provided on the conveying path and formed in the conveying path itself between the MICR part 110 and the printing part 116 and the printing part 116 which prints for endorsement etc. on a banknote according to a printing instruction | indication, It includes a temporary standby section 114 for temporarily stopping and waiting for the transfer, and a storage cassette unit 118 in which bills completed until printing are finally stored.

Therefore, the action is that, if the customer or the bank clerk puts a sheet of bills to be received through the inlet port 102, the conveying device 104 is driven to transfer the inserted bills, the bills to be transferred is aligned portion 106 After passing through and aligned to one side, and then continuously transferred to pass through the CIS unit 108, the two-sided image information of the corresponding bill is obtained, and then the bill is continuously transferred to pass through the MICR unit 110 Magnetic character information described on the banknote is obtained, and then the banknote is also continuously transferred and passed through the double sheet detecting unit 112 so that the double sheet is detected and confirmed, and then the banknote is temporarily suspended in the temporary waiting unit 114. Transfer stops and waits.

Then, the authenticity of the bill is confirmed using the image information and the magnetic character information acquired through the CIS unit 108 and the MICR unit 110, and then received or taken out according to the result of the check. do.

If the carry-out process is carried out, the conveying apparatus 104 is driven in the reverse direction to transport the bill in the reverse direction so that the customer or bank clerk receives the bill again at the inlet 102, while storing the bill. In this case, the conveying device 104 is driven forward to forward and transfer the bill again, and the bill is forwarded and transferred to the printing unit 116, and then the bill is completed by the printing. As a result, it is stored in the storage cassette unit 118.

Thus, the storage processing process for a single bill is completed, a large amount of bills are stored and loaded in the storage cassette unit 118 through the repetition of this process, the bank clerk later the storage cassette unit 118 The bills are withdrawn from inside.

Furthermore, when the bill is transferred and stopped on the conveyance path of the corresponding storage inlet part to be completed and then stored in the storage cassette part 118, a separate push bar descends from the top and the center of the bill. By pressing the portion, the bill is lowered together so that it can be stored in the storage cassette unit 118 on the lower side.

Figure 2 shows a storage lead portion of a conventional bill acceptor automatic processing.

The storage retracting portion may be referred to as a portion where the bill (p) to be finally stored in the storage cassette portion 118 is transferred and waited for storage, and the conveying device 104a provided in the portion is the printing portion 116. By passing the banknote (p) passing through the plane state as it is to stop at the location of the storage cassette 118, it is provided so as to face the upper and lower sides so that the conveying path for conveying the banknote (p) is formed between them Conveying belts 104a-u and 104a-b are formed, and the upper conveying belts 104a-u and the lower conveying belts 104a-b are provided on both left and right sides, respectively, through a central empty space between the two sides. The push bar 200 is lowered.

That is, since all four conveying belts 104a-ul, 104a-ur, 104a-bl, and 104a-br receive the rotational driving force of the separate conveying motors and all rotate at the same speed, the banknotes p carry them. Contact with the belts 104a-ul, 104a-ur, 104a-bl, 104a-br causes friction to be transported along the conveying path, and the conveyance is stopped as the conveying motor is stopped, and then the bills stopped. With respect to (p), the push bar 200 descends through the central space between the two conveying belts 104a-ur / 104a-br and 104a-ul / 104a-bl, pushing the central part of the banknote p as it is. As the banknotes p are lowered from both sides of the conveying path between the upper and lower conveyance belts 104a-u and 104a-b, they are lowered together to be stored in the storage cassette unit 118 on the lower side. .

In addition, the above-described push bar 200 is provided in the form of a horizontal bar on the upper side of the central space between the two side conveying belt (104a-ur / 104a-br, 104a-ul / 104a-bl), Initially waiting on the upper side, after the banknote (p) is transferred and waiting for storage, it is lowered as it is, pushed and stored the banknote (p) to the predetermined lower side, then raised again to return to the initial height .

Figure 3 shows a banknote storage device for a conventional banknote automatic storage processor.

The horizontal push bar 200 is orthogonally coupled to the lower end side of the vertical vertical bar 202, and the vertical bar 202 is also perpendicular to the vertical plate 204 provided vertically on the side. The guide rail 206 is installed while being guided up and down.

An upper pulley 208a and a lower pulley 208b are rotatably provided on the upper side and the lower side of the vertical plate 204, respectively, and any one of these pulleys 208a and 208b can be rotated forward and reverse. The pulley motor 210 is coupled, and the circulation belt 212 is provided to connect the aforementioned pulleys 208a and 208b.

In addition, the vertical bar 202 is coupled to one side of the end of the circulation belt 212 via the coupling bracket 214 through the predetermined height position.

Furthermore, on the predetermined height position of the vertical bar 202, the sensor sensing bracket 216 is coupled in an orthogonal direction, and the upper side and the lower side on the vertical plate 204 to detect the sensor sensing bracket 216. The upper sensor 218a and the lower sensor 218b are provided on the side, respectively.

Therefore, looking at the action, when the pulley motor 210 is driven to rotate in the forward direction, the pulleys (208a, 208b) and the circulation belt 212 connecting them are rotated, accordingly corresponding circulation belt ( The vertical bar 202 coupled to the coupling bracket 214 and the push bar 200 coupled to the vertical bar 202 are lowered with respect to 212, and the lowering is performed by the sensor detecting bracket 216. ) Proceeds until it is detected by the lower sensor 218b, and then stops at the detected time.

As a result, the push bar 200 is lowered to a predetermined lower side position to store the banknote p in the storage cassette unit 118.

Subsequently, the pulley motor 210 is immediately driven to rotate in the opposite direction to the opposite direction so that the push bar 200 is raised, and the rise is performed until the sensor detecting bracket 216 is detected by the upper sensor 218a. And then stopped, eventually causing push bar 200 to return to the initial height position on the upper side.

However, the above-described conventional push bar device has the following problems.

That is, the bank automation equipment, including the automatic bill acceptor processing machine 100 is being developed to be gradually miniaturized, as described above, since the device portion for lifting the push bar 200 is provided in the vertical direction long, There was a problem of giving limitations in shrinking.

In addition, since the push bar 200 is coupled to be orthogonal to the lower end side of the vertical bar 202, when the push bar 200 is subjected to repeated force by repeated operation, the push bar 200 eventually becomes a vertical bar. There was also a problem that it is bent with respect to 202 and is severely separated from the vertical bar 202, causing a failure, thereby lowering the reliability of operation of the device.

The present invention was devised to solve the above problems, and can be provided with a very reduced size in the vertical direction, while the push bar device for banknote storage of the automatic bill handling machine that can be more reliable operation The purpose is to provide.

Figure 4 is a perspective view showing a banknote storing push bar device of the automatic bill processor according to the present invention.

Prior to the description, the same reference numerals are given to the same components as in the related art, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Push bar 300 is provided in the horizontal direction is lowered and then raised to be stored in the storage cassette unit 118 on the lower side p, according to the present invention, in the form of a plate having a predetermined planar area It may be provided, the upper side of the push bar 300 is provided with an X-shaped bar 302 made of two bars provided to cross in an X shape to be rotated with respect to each other through the hinge pin 302c of the center For convenience of description, one of the two bars forming the X-shaped bar 302 will be referred to as the movable bar 302a, and the other will be referred to as the driven bar 302b.

In addition, lower connection pins 302a-1 and 302b-1 are respectively coupled to the lower ends of the movable bar 302a and the driven bar 302b, among which the lower connection pins 302a-1 of the movable bar 302a. ) Is coupled to be slidably moved in the left and right directions through the first guide groove 300a provided in a horizontal direction on the upper surface of the push bar 300, the lower connection of the driven bar (302b) The pin 302b-1 is coupled to be rotatable with respect to the upper surface of the push bar 300.

In addition, the upper connection pin 302b-2 is coupled to the upper end of the driven bar 302b, and the corresponding upper connection pin 302b-2 has a predetermined length on the upper fixing plate 304 that is separately fixed to the upper side. The second guide groove 304a formed in the horizontal direction is coupled to be slidably movable in the left and right directions.

Furthermore, the movable plate 306 having a predetermined area is coupled to the upper end of the movable bar 302a, and the guide orbit groove 306a is formed on the movable plate 306. It is formed on both sides to achieve a predetermined angle, and for convenience of description, one side is called the lower section groove portion 306a-d, and the other side is referred to as the rising section groove portion 306a-u.

In addition, the guide track groove 306a is inserted into the sliding pin 308a which is formed to protrude on the rotating plate 308 to be rotated by the rotational force received by the drive motor 310 to form a coupling.

Here, the driving motor 310 and the rotating plate 308 may be electrically connected to be connected via a plurality of gears so that the rotation of the rotating plate 308 is appropriately reduced with respect to the rotation of the driving motor 310.

Therefore, when the operation is described, in the initial state in which the push bar 300 is located on the upper side, when the driving motor 310 is driven to rotate in one direction (for example, clockwise direction), the rotating plate 308 is rotated. Accordingly, the sliding pin 308a on the rotating plate 308 is initially located at the center position of the guide track groove 306a, and then enters the descending section groove 306a-d, and gradually the descending section groove 306a-d. The movable bar 302a is raised by pushing the movable plate 306 while slidingly moving outward so that the upper end of the movable bar 302a of the X-shaped bar 302 coupled with the movable plate 306 is pushed. As the movable bar 302a is erected in this way, the push bar 300 is pushed down while pressing the banknote p so that the banknote p is stored into the storage cassette unit 118 on the lower side.

In this process, when the movable bar 302a is erected, the lower connecting pin 302a-1 on the lower end side of the movable bar 302a is inward through the first guide groove 300a on the upper surface of the push bar 300. By sliding the push bar 300 to the lower side to move the push bar 300 is moved to the lower side, and at the same time the driven to be coupled to the upper surface and the movable bar 302a of the push bar 300 rotatably The upper connecting pin 302b-2 on the upper end side of the bar 302b is erected while sliding inward through the second guide groove 304a on the upper fixing plate 304.

Accordingly, the sliding pin 308a on the rotating plate 308 is slid to the end of the falling section grooves 306a-d of the guide track groove 306a on the movable plate 306 according to the initial rotation, and then the guide track groove ( By returning to the center portion of 306a, after the push bar 300 is completely lowered (FIG. 5 state), the sliding pin 308a follows the other side of the rising section grooves 306a-u according to the subsequent rotation. The movable bar 302a by pulling the movable plate 306 while gradually sliding outward so that the upper end of the movable bar 302a of the X-shaped bar 302 coupled with the movable plate 306 is pulled out. Is to be lying on the contrary, so that the push bar 300 is moved to the upper side and returned (see FIG. 6).

In this process, when the movable bar 302a is lying down, the lower connection pin 302a-1 at the lower end side of the movable bar 302a is outside through the first guide groove 300a on the upper surface of the push bar 300. The push bar 300 is moved to the upper side while slidingly moved, and at the same time, the upper connecting pin 302b-2 at the upper end side of the driven bar 302b is the second guide groove 304a on the upper fixing plate 304. And lying down while sliding outward.

Accordingly, the sliding pin 308a on the rotary plate 308 is slid to the end of the rising section grooves 306a-u of the guide track groove 306a on the movable plate 306 according to the second half rotation, and then the guide track groove ( By returning to the center portion of 306a, the push bar 300 is fully raised to return to the initial height position.

As described above, according to one rotation of the driving motor 310, the push bar 300 is lowered to a predetermined lower side position and then immediately raised to an upper initial position to be returned.

In addition, as the sliding pin 308a slides through the lower section grooves 306a-d of the guide track groove 306a, the push bar 300 is lowered, and the sliding pin 308a guides the guide track groove 306a. Sliding through the ascending section groove portion (306a-u) of the push bar (300) in the rise, when falling, banknotes (p) between the upper and lower side conveyance belts 104a-u, 104a-b of the storage inlet The lowering process needs to be made relatively slowly so that it can be smoothly pulled out of the transport path and stably lowered. On the contrary, the process of returning to the upper side after the banknote p is completed in the storage cassette unit 118 is made relatively quickly. Since it is necessary to reduce the operation time, the falling section grooves 306a-d of the guide track groove 306a are formed to be relatively long in order to adjust the speed in this way, while the guide track groove 306a has a relatively long length. Rising section groove (30 6a-u) may have a relatively short length.

In addition, the driving start time point of the driving motor 310 described above is started at the time point at which the banknote p to be stored is transferred and stopped at the storage entry portion, while the driving stop time point is to be stopped unconditionally after completion of one revolution. Alternatively, a separate motor stop sensor capable of transmitting a motor stop signal to the drive motor 310 by detecting a state of the movable plate 306 at the time when the push bar 300 is completely moved to the upper side. 312) may be implemented.

As a result, the push bar device according to the present invention has a structure that is unfolded and then squeezed, and in the crushed state, the push bar device may be provided in a very reduced size in the up and down direction. It can be advantageous for miniaturization.

In addition, there is no possibility that the push bar 300 may be broken even in repeated operation, thereby improving the operation reliability of the bill automatic receipt processor 100.

In the foregoing description, it should be understood that those skilled in the art can make modifications and changes to the present invention without changing the gist of the present invention as merely illustrative of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

According to the present invention, a push bar device having a structure that is unfolded and folded is provided, and thus, in the folded state, it can be provided in a very reduced size in the up and down direction, so that it can be very advantageous for the miniaturization of the automatic bill processor.
