Description

Cassette safety device {SECURITY APPARATUS OF CASSETTE}

The present invention relates to a cassette safety device, and more particularly, to a cassette safety device further improved structural safety by using a solenoid to prevent the release of the safety state with any tool.

In general, as ATMs, Cash Dispenser Units (CDUs), Bill Recycling Machines (BRMs), or Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), which collectively refer to them, provide quick and convenient access to financial services. It is a device developed to provide most services unattended regardless of consultation service.

These automated teller machines are installed in banks and other financial institutions, as well as department stores, large marts, convenience stores, government agencies, and public places, so that customers can freely deposit and withdraw cash using their own cash or credit cards. Provide convenient financial services.

At this time, the storage box in which the bills to be withdrawn inside the paper money dispenser is loaded is called a cassette, and the reflux type storage box in which the bills to be withdrawn or loaded into the paper money deposit machine is loaded is recycled ( In this case, the term “paper waste” includes all means that can be printed and distributed on paper with property values such as cash, checks, and gift certificates. .

For example, Figure 1 schematically shows a side of a general automated teller machine, the automated teller machine is a control unit (not shown) for controlling the entire device, including the deposit and withdrawal of bills, customers put or receive bills for deposit and withdrawal A deposit and withdrawal unit 1 for carrying out, a conveying path 2 through which the withdrawal and withdrawal of money is transferred through the withdrawal and withdrawal unit 1, and a discriminating unit 3 installed on the conveying path 2 to discriminate whether there is an abnormality of the bill. The temporary storage unit 4 temporarily deposits the banknotes deposited after passing through the discriminating unit 3, and a plurality of recycling boxes 5 performing a reflux function by loading the banknotes deposited from the customer and withdrawing the banknotes. ), A reject box (6) for receiving the banknotes discriminated by the abnormal bank in the discriminating unit (3).

In addition, a security (safety device) is installed in the cassette such as the recycling box or the reject box so as to prevent the bills from being taken out by rotating the separator roller while the door is closed.

However, since the conventional security has been configured in the form of connecting a plurality of links mechanically, it is required to supplement the security structure by releasing the security by using a tool. As an example of this, a security function is implemented using a solenoid. Can be mentioned.

However, such a solenoid type security has been inconvenient in use because it is supposed to be released manually by a person, so the security must be released by operating the lever every time jam is removed.

The present invention was created in view of the above-described problems in the prior art, and implemented to solve this problem by implementing a solenoid type security, which can not be released by any tool to increase safety, and release the cassette through the link when security is released. The main problem is to provide a cassette safety device that maximizes the convenience of use by being mechanically connected to the door to automatically release the security when the door is opened.

The present invention provides a cassette safety device comprising a cassette door, a separation motor fixed to a side frame of the cassette, a drive gear installed on a rotating shaft of the separation motor, and a plurality of driven gears engaged with the drive gear. In; A solenoid fixed to the side frame; An actuating rod that descends when the solenoid is on and rises when off; A rocker coupled to the actuating rod in a hinged state to the side frame while being locked to engage with the driven gear to perform a locking function; An operator slidably mounted to the side frame and elastically pushing the inner side of the cassette door at all times; A locking mechanism fixed to the operator and locked to a part of the rocker to flow the rocker together when the operator operates, the moment the cassette is detached, the solenoid is turned off so that the locker locks the driven gear; The moment the cassette door is opened, the operator provides a cassette safety device, characterized in that it is configured to pull the rocker and release the lock as it protrudes toward the open side.

At this time, the elastic member that presses the operator toward the cassette door is characterized in that the elastic force is stronger than the elastic member pulling the rocker in the locking direction.

In addition, the rocker is composed of an inclined portion extending inclined, and a vertical portion extending vertically from the inclined portion, the locking mechanism and the elastic member are both characterized in that it is provided in the inclined portion.

According to the present invention, it is possible to increase the safety by the configuration can not be released by any tool through the solenoid, and the security is automatically released through the mechanism unit linked to the cassette door when the security is released, it is possible to obtain an improved convenience in use.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, the cassette safety device according to the present invention is largely divided into a part that is responsible for the separation / stack security of the bill by the solenoid, and a part that is responsible for the security release when opening the door due to jam (jam).

However, they are specific in that they are composed of correlations rather than completely separate and independent of each other.

In order to implement such a cassette safety device, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the cassette body (B) is provided, one side of the cassette body (B), the cassette door (D) is installed to open and close.

In addition, a plurality of frames are installed inside the cassette body B. In particular, the side motor frame 100 is fixed to the separation motor 110, and the driving gear 120 is fixed to the rotating shaft of the separation motor 110. In addition, the driven gear 130 is engaged to the drive gear 120 in order to be utilized when separating or stacking banknotes.

Here, the present invention is to solve the security problem when the cassette is detached from the automated teller machine, the moment the cassette is detached the solenoid 200 is powered off (off) the driven gear 130, which is a separation gear It is kept in a locked state, and in this state, when the cassette door D is opened, the locked state of the driven gear 130 is unlocked by the links connected to the cassette door D, thereby providing convenience for use. It is enhanced.

At this time, the solenoid 200 is fixed to the side frame 100, as shown in Figures 4 to 7, the operating rod 210 is connected to the upper portion of the slenoid 200, the operating rod A first operating hinge 220 is connected to the 210, and a first bracket 230a having a substantially '∩' shape is coupled to the first operating hinge 220, and one side surface of the first bracket 230 is connected to the first operating hinge 220. After the extension is provided with a second bracket 230b integrated to have a '∪' shape, the second bracket 230b is hinged on the side frame 100 via a second operating hinge 240.

In other words, the first bracket 230a and the second bracket 230b are formed of an integrated member provided in a form in which one side is shared.

In addition, the locker 250 which functions as a latch (latchet) by engaging with the driven gear 130 which is extended from the second bracket 230b and serves as a separate gear, acts as a latch (latchet) from the second bracket 230b. It is formed to extend.

At this time, the rocker 250 is composed of the inclined portion 252 and the vertical portion 254 vertically extended from the end of the inclined portion 252 while integrally formed with the second bracket (230b), An end of the vertical portion 254 is formed to protrude toward the driven gear 130 to be engaged with the driven gear 130.

In addition, one end of the first spring 260 is fixed in place of the inclined portion 254 of the rocker 250, and the other end of the first spring 260 is fixed on the side frame 100.

Accordingly, the rocker 250 is always kept in a pulled state, and thus the rocker 250 is always kept in a security state, that is, a locked state.

This situation occurs when the cassette is detached from the automatic teller machine, and the actuating rod 210 is raised by turning off the power of the solenoid 200 at the same time as the cassette is detached from the automatic teller machine. As the rocker 250 is rotated in a clockwise direction, the locker 250 is inserted into the driven gear 130 to lock the driven gear 130 so as not to rotate.

Of course, if the separation motor 110 is to be driven after the cassette is mounted again, the power is applied to the solenoid 200, and at the same time pulling the first bracket (230a) while the operating rod 210 is lowered, accordingly The second bracket 230b rotates counterclockwise around the second operating hinge 240 to release the lock of the rocker 250.

Then, the separation motor 110 is driven to perform a function of separating or stacking banknotes.

On the other hand, the side frame 100, the operator 300 having a shape that is approximately symmetrical with respect to the vertical line of the letter 'a' is installed to be slidable, the front end of which is in contact with the inner surface of the cassette door (D) Is placed.

At this time, at least two or more long holes 302 long in the longitudinal direction are formed in a part of the operator 300 to allow the operator 300 to be slidable, and the fixing pin 304 is formed in the long holes 302. It is fitted and then fixed to the side frame (100).

Therefore, the operator 300 is capable of reciprocating sliding within the range of the long hole 302 with the fixing pin 304 as a support point.

In addition, one end of the second spring 310 is fixed to a part of the lower surface of the operator 300, and the other end of the second spring 310 is fixed to the side frame 100.

Therefore, the second spring 310 is in the form of always pulling the operator 300 toward the cassette door (D).

At this time, the locking portion 320 is fixed to a part of the rear end of the operator 300, the locking portion 320 is disposed to take the inclined portion 252 of the rocker 250 described above.

The cassette safety device according to the present invention having such a configuration has the following working relationship.

First, the cassette safety device according to the present invention is operated when the cassette is detached from the automated teller machine.

Examples of a situation in which the cassette is detached include, for example, a case of filling a bill inside the cassette, a case for solving a problem such as a jam, and the like.

As such, when the cassette is detached, the solenoid 200 is turned off, and at the same time, the operation rod 240 is raised and the rocker 250 is rotated in the clockwise direction to be engaged with the driven gear 130 to drive the driven gear 130. ) Is locked from movement.

In this state, when the cassette door (D) is opened to solve a problem such as filling bills or jams, the support force is removed from the operator (300) held at the same time as the cassette door (D) is opened. The operator 300 slides to protrude toward the open side.

In addition, since the locking mechanism 320 integrally provided with the operator 300 pulls the inclined portion 252 of the rocker 250, the rocker 250 rotates counterclockwise to release the lock state.

That is, the operator automatically releases the lock state as soon as the operator opens the cassette door D in order to repair it due to a jam or the like, thereby facilitating the desired work.

Here, in order to implement such a function, the strength of the second spring 310 described above should be greater than the first spring 260.

On the contrary, when the cassette door D is closed, there is a play between the latch 320 and the inclined portion 252 of the rocker 250, and at the same time, the first spring 260 opens the inclined portion 252. Since the rocker 250 is rotated in the clockwise direction again as it is pulled, the locker 250 meshes with the driven gear 130 which is the separating gear and completely locks it.

As such, when the cassette is detached from the automated teller machine, the solenoid 200 itself remains turned off unless the cassette door D is opened. Therefore, the cassette cannot be operated using an arbitrary tool from the outside. You can implement the castle.
