The locking unit 231 may include a locking member 232 extending vertically up and down, and fixing members 237 and 238 fixing the locking member 232 to the main door 237. The fixing parts 237 and 238 may pass through the locking member 232.

The locking member 232 may include through holes 234a and 234b through which the fixing parts 237 and 238 pass. The through holes 234a and 234b may be formed inside the locking member 232. In addition, the through holes 234a and 234b may be shaped to extend in the vertical direction. In other words, the top and bottom diameters of the through holes 234a and 234b may be larger than the left and right diameters. Meanwhile, cross sections of the fixing members 237 and 238 may have a circular shape, for example. The diameters of the fixing members 237 and 238 may be smaller than the diameters of the through holes 234a and 234b.

The through holes 234a and 234b may be provided in plural in the locking member 232. The through holes 234a and 234b may include a first through hole 234a and a second through hole 234b spaced apart from the first through hole 234a.

The fixing members 237 and 238 may be provided in a number and corresponding positions corresponding to the through holes 234a and 234b. The fixing members 237 and 238 may include a first fixing member 237 and a second fixing member 238 spaced apart from the first fixing member 237. The first fixing member 237 may pass through the first through hole 234a. In addition, the second fixing member 238 may pass through the second through hole 234b.

The first fixing member 237 may include a first through screw 237a penetrating through the first through hole 234a. In addition, the first fixing member 237 may include a first fixing nut 237b coupled to the first through screw 237a passing through the first through hole 234. The locking member 232 may be fixed so as not to be separated from the main door 230 by the combination of the first through screw 237a and the first fixing nut 237b.

The second fixing member 238 may include a second through screw 238a penetrating through the second through hole 234b. In addition, the first fixing member 238 may include a second fixing nut 238b coupled to the second through screw 238a passing through the second through hole 234b. The locking member 232 may be stably fixed to the main door 230 by the combination of the second fixing screw 238a and the second fixing nut 238b.

On the other hand, the locking member 232 may be installed to be moved up and down on the main door 230. The upper and lower diameters of the through holes 234a and 234b may be longer than the left and right diameters. Accordingly, the locking member 232 may move upward or downward with respect to the main door 230 by the fixing members 237 and 238 penetrating the through holes 234a and 234b. When the locking member 232 moves upwards, the subdoor 250 may be locked. On the contrary, when the locking member 232 moves downward, the subdoor 250 may be unlocked. A more detailed description of locking or unlocking the subdoor 250 as the locking member 232 moves will be described later.

The main door 230 may include an elastic member 239 restoring the position of the locking member 232. The elastic member 239 may connect the locking member 232 and the main door 230. In addition, when the locking member 232 is moved in one direction by an external force, a restoring force may be accumulated in the elastic member 239. When the external force is blocked, the position of the locking member 232 may be restored by the restoring force accumulated in the elastic member 239.

The elastic member 239 may connect lower ends of the second fixing member 238 and the locking member 232. The elastic member 239 may include, for example, a tension spring. One end of the elastic member 239 may be disposed between the second through screw 238a and the second fixing nut 238b. One end of the elastic member 239 may be fixed by combining the second through screw 238a and the second fixing nut 238b. And the other end of the elastic member 239 may be fixed to the lower end of the locking member 232. Therefore, when the locking member 232 moves downward, a restoring force may be accumulated in the elastic member 239.

The locking part 231 may further include a locking part 233 to allow the locking member 232 to be locked to the locking hole 253 of the sub-door 250. The locking portion 233 may protrude upward from the upper end of the locking member 233. In addition, the locking portion 233 may have a shape in which the cross-sectional area gradually decreases as it extends upward.

At least a portion of the locking holder (252 of FIG. 7) forming one surface of the locking portion 233 and the locking hole 253 when at least a portion of the locking portion 233 passes through the locking hole 253. May be spaced apart from each other. In detail, the locking portion 233 may include a first surface 233a facing the rear surface of the main door 230, a second surface 233b forming a step with the first surface 233a, and the first surface 233a. The first surface 233a may include a third surface 233c that forms a hill (or a protrusion). The first surface 233a may be formed to be inclined while facing the rear surface of the main door 230.

When the locking portion 233 passes through the locking hole 253, the locking holder 252 facing the first surface 233a may be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. For example, an error in the position of the subdoor 250 when the subdoor 250 closes the opening 241 of the main door 230 (or when the subdoor 250 is closed). Even if is generated, the locking portion 233 may pass through the locking hole 253 of the sub-door 250. Therefore, the phenomenon that the sub-door 250 is locked can be reduced.

In addition, since the locking portion 232 is spaced apart from at least a portion of the lock holder 252, the external force applied to the sub-door 250 in the locked state of the sub-door 250 is completely the locking member 232 ) Can be prevented. Therefore, the phenomenon in which the locking member 232 is broken can be reduced. The third surface 235c may be formed to be inclined while facing the opening of the main door 230. By the third surface 235c, the locking member 233 may penetrate the locking hole 253 while sliding to the locking holder 252.

Meanwhile, the locking member 232 may include a contact protrusion 236 selectively contacting the temporary accumulation plate 210. The contact protrusion 236 may protrude from the locking member 232 in a direction toward the center of the integrated body 200. The contact protrusion 236 may be formed at the lower end of the locking member 232. In other words, when the locking portion 232 is positioned at one end of the locking member 232, the contact protrusion 236 may be located at the other end of the locking member 232.

The contact protrusion 236 may be in selective contact with the temporary accumulation plate 210. For example, when the temporary accumulation plate 210 is moved downward, the contact protrusion 236 may be in contact with the temporary accumulation plate 210. In addition, the temporary accumulation plate 210 and the locking member 232 may move downward together. The contact protrusion 236 may have a shape in which the cross-sectional area increases as it extends from above to below. In addition, the contact protrusion 236 may include an inclined surface facing the direction toward the center of the stacker body 200. On the other hand, as described above, the temporary accumulation plate 210 may have a shape that the cross-sectional area is smaller as it extends from the upper side to the lower side. The inclined surface formed on the temporary accumulation plate 210 and the inclined surface formed on the contact protrusion 236 may be in contact with each other. Therefore, when the main door 230 is closed, even if an error occurs in the position of the temporary integration plate 210 and the contact protrusion 236, it is installed on the temporary integration plate 210 or the main door 230. The phenomenon that the contact protrusion 236 is broken can be prevented.

[Configuration of Subdoor]

7 is a rear perspective view of an enlarged sub-door according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 7, the always subdoor 250 may include a subdoor body 251 forming an appearance. The subdoor body 251 may be formed in a shape corresponding to the opening 241 of the main door 230. The subdoor body 250 may be rotatably coupled to the shaft 242 of the main door 230.

The subdoor 250 may further include a lock holder 251 that can be selectively locked by the locking unit 231. The lock holder 252 may be formed on the rear surface of the sub-door 250.

Inside the lock holder 252, a lock hole 253 may be formed to selectively insert the lock member 232 of the lock portion 231. In detail, when the locking member 232 is moved upward, the locking portion 233 of the locking member 232 may pass through the locking hole 253. In this case, the subdoor 250 may be fixed to the main door 230. In other words, the subdoor 250 may be locked. On the contrary, when the locking member 232 is moved downward, the sub-door 250 may be rotatable with respect to the main door 230 while the locking portion 233 is moved downward. In other words, the subdoor 250 may be unlocked.

[Lock or unlock operation of the lock]

8 is a cross-sectional view showing that the locking portion is unlocked in FIG.

5 and 8, the temporary accumulation plate 210 may be moved downward by the integrated box driving motor 340. In this case, the temporary accumulation plate 210 may be in contact with the contact protrusion 236 in the process of moving downward. By the contact, the temporary accumulation plate 210 and the locking member 232 may move downward together. At this time, the locking portion 233 of the locking member 232 is moved downward, the lock of the sub-door 250 may be released. That is, the subdoor 250 may be rotatable with respect to the main door 230. Meanwhile, in the process of moving the locking member 232 downward, a restoring force may be accumulated in the elastic member 239.

In a state where the subdoor 232 closes the opening 241 of the additional function module 20, the integrated box driving motor 340 may block power provided to the temporary integration plate 210. Alternatively, the integrated box driving motor 340 may move the temporary accumulation plate 210 upward. At this time, the locking member 232 may be moved upward by the restoring force of the elastic member 239. As the locking member 232 moves upward, the locking part 233 may pass through the locking hole 253. Thus, the subdoor 250 may be fixed to the main door 230.

On the other hand, the movement distance of the temporary accumulation plate 210 for unlocking the sub-door 250 is greater than the maximum movement distance of the temporary accumulation plate 210 for the temporary accumulation. In other words, when the subdoor 250 is unlocked, the size of the first storage space 201a is the maximum size of the first storage space 201a for the temporary integration operation of the additional function module 20. Greater than Accordingly, the phenomenon in which the subdoors 250 are opened during the temporary accumulation operation may be prevented.

Control Configuration of Financial Instruments

9 is a block diagram illustrating a control configuration of a financial device according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 9, the financial device 1 may include the user interface 4. The command input through the user interface 4 may be transmitted to the controller 390 which will be described later. The controller 390 may output a screen including the result information corresponding to the received command to the user interface 4.

The financial device 1 may include a transfer power unit 310 for supplying power to the transfer paths 181, 182, and 183 to transfer the medium. The medium may be transferred from one point to another point by the transfer power unit 310. For example, the medium drawn into the media entry / exiting unit 10 by the transfer power unit 310 may be transferred to the additional function module 20 via the discriminating unit 11. As another example, the medium stored in the additional function module 20 may be transferred to the medium entry / exit unit 10 by the transfer power unit 310.

The financial device 1 may include an integrated box abnormality detecting unit 330 for detecting whether an abnormality occurs in the operation of the additional function module 20. The integrated box abnormality detecting unit 330 may detect whether a jam occurs in the additional function module 20. For example, the stacker abnormality detection unit 330 may recognize that the jam is generated in the additional function module 20 when the medium is not drawn in during the depositing of the medium for a predetermined time. As another example, the integrated box abnormality detecting unit 330 may include a sensor disposed on the medium transport passage of the additional function module 20. In addition, the integrated box abnormality detecting unit 330 may detect the occurrence of a jam on the medium transport passage of the additional function module 20 through the sensor. The sensor may include, for example, an infrared sensor.

The financial device 10 may include the integrated box driving motor 340. By the integrated box driving motor 34, the medium stored in the storage space 201 may be drawn out onto the transport paths 181, 182, and 183. Alternatively, the media on the transport paths 181, 182, and 183 may be introduced into the storage space 201 by the integrated box driving motor 34. Alternatively, when a transaction cancellation (or deposit cancellation) occurs by the customer, the medium may be transferred to the depositor 10.

The financial device 10 may include a subdoor detector 350 that detects opening and closing of the subdoor 350. When the subdoor 350 is opened, the subdoor detector 350 may transmit an open signal to the controller 390. Alternatively, when the subdoor 350 is closed, the subdoor detector may transmit a closing signal to the controller 390.

The financial device 390 may include the controller 390 for controlling at least one of the entrance and exit of the additional function module 20 by controlling the integrated box driving motor 340. When an opening command of the subdoor 350 is input through the user interface 4, the controller 390 may release the lock of the subdoor 350. In detail, the controller 390 may control the integrated box driving motor 340 to lower the temporary accumulation plate 210. In detail, while the temporary accumulation plate 210 is lowered, the temporary accumulation plate 210 may move the locking member 232 downward. The locking portion 233 of the locking member 232 may be released from the locking hole 253 of the sub-door 250. Therefore, the subdoor 350 may be rotatable with respect to the main door 230. On the other hand, in the process of moving the locking member 232 downward, a restoring force may be accumulated in the elastic member 231.

Meanwhile, when the subdoor 350 is opened, the controller 390 may receive an open signal from the subdoor detection unit 350.

When the closing signal of the subdoor 350 is received from the subdoor detector 350, the controller 390 may lock the subdoor 350. In detail, the controller 390 may control the integrated box driving motor 340 to raise the temporary accumulation plate 210. As the temporary accumulation plate 210 moves upward, an external force of the temporary accumulation plate 210 applied to the locking member 232 may be blocked. Therefore, the locking member 232 may move upward by the restoring force. The locking portion 233 of the locking member 232 may pass through the locking hole 253 of the sub-door 250. Thus, the subdoor 250 may be fixed to the main door 230.

[Control method of financial device]

10 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of a financial device according to an embodiment.

9 and 10, the control unit 390 of the financial device 1 may detect whether the additional function module 20 is abnormal through the integration box abnormality detecting unit 330 (S1). ). In the integrated box abnormality detecting unit 330, for example, a jam in the additional function module 20 may be detected.

 When an abnormality is detected in the integrated box abnormality detecting unit 330, the controller 390 may release the lock between the main door 230 and the subdoor 250 (S3). In detail, the controller 390 may control the integrated box driving motor 340 d to move the temporary accumulation plate 210 downward. In the process of moving the temporary accumulation plate 210 downward, the temporary accumulation plate 210 may be in contact with the contact protrusion 236 of the locking member 232. Thus, the temporary accumulation plate 210 and the locking member 232 may move downward together.

As the locking member 232 is moved downward, the locking portion 233 of the locking member 232 may be released from the locking holder 252 of the sub-door 250. Therefore, the subdoor 250 may be rotatable with respect to the main door 230.

When the subdoor 250 is unlocked, the controller 390 may check whether the sub door 250 is closed (S5). The control unit 390 may check whether the closing signal is transmitted from the subdoor detection unit 350 within a set time. To this end, the financial device 1 may be further provided with a counter (not shown) for counting time.

Upon receiving the closing signal, the control unit 390 may recognize that the subdoor 250 is normally closed (S9). Accordingly, the controller 390 may control the integrated box driving motor 340 to lock the subdoor 390 (S11). In detail, the controller 390 may control the integrated box driving motor 340 to move the temporary accumulation plate 210 upward. As the temporary accumulation plate 210 is moved upward, the locking member 232 may move upward by the restoring force of the elastic member 290. The locking portion 233 of the locking member 232 may pass through the locking hole 253 of the locking holder 252. Thus, the subdoor 250 may be fixed to the main door 230.

On the other hand, in step S7, if the closing signal is not received after the set time, the control unit 390 may display a warning on the user interface (4). Therefore, the manager may recognize that the financial device 10 and the additional function module 20 are abnormal.

In addition, in step S9, when the closing is detected, but still recognized as abnormal in the additional function module 20, the controller 390 may display a warning on the user interface 4. Through this, it can be recognized by the administrator that the maintenance / maintenance management of the additional function module 20 is not completely made.

Meanwhile, the user interface 4 may display a warning through sounds, texts, pictures, and the like.

In the present exemplary embodiment, when an abnormality is detected inside the additional function module 230, the subdoor 250 is unlocked. However, in another embodiment, the subdoor 250 may be unlocked based on a command input through the user interface 4. That is, when the unlock command of the subdoor 250 is input through the user interface 4, the controller 390 controls the integrated box driving motor 340 to unlock the subdoor 250. Can be.

In the present embodiment, since the locking unit 231 determines the locking of the subdoor 230, the locking unit 231 may be referred to as a locking unit.

In this embodiment, the temporary accumulation plate 210 and the replenishment recovery plate 220 have been described as being moved up and down. On the other hand, in another embodiment, the temporary accumulation plate 210 and the replenishment recovery plate 220 may be moved in the front-rear direction in the storage space 201. In this case, the locking unit 231 may lock or unlock the subdoor 250 in association with the movement of the temporary accumulation plate 210 or the supplemental recovery plate 220 which is moved in the front and rear directions.
