Description

Financial automation equipment {AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINE}

The present invention relates to a financial automation device.

In general, an automated teller machine (ATM) can provide financial services such as cash and check deposit and withdrawal using a card or passbook without a bank employee, regardless of the time and place of the financial service. It is an automated device.

Recently, the use of financial automation devices is expanding in convenience stores, department stores, and public places as well as financial institutions such as banks. Financial automation devices can be classified into ATMs, ATMs, and ATMs depending on whether deposits or withdrawals are made. Recently, financial automation devices are used for various purposes such as deposit and withdrawal of cash, clearing of bankbooks, payment of Giro rates, and ticket issuance. have.

Conventional financial automation devices are largely divided into two types according to a method of storing media such as cash and check, one of which is a pocket type, which is provided with a deposit and withdrawal part in a pocket shape to allow a user to insert media into the pocket, The other is a presentation type, in which banknotes are inserted and withdrawn through slots formed in the deposit and withdrawal section. Of these, in the case of the pocket type, the user must put his hand inside the pocket to put the medium into the deposit and withdrawal section to deposit, but depending on the culture to which the user belongs, he is reluctant to put a part of the body inside the machine like this. There is a problem that there are many cases.

As an alternative for solving the problem of the pocket type, a present type can be applied in which the user can deposit and withdraw the medium without putting his or her hand in the deposit and withdrawal. However, the present type is somewhat vulnerable to security, and can be deposited and withdrawn at once Since the quantity is very limited, there is a problem that a user who wants to deposit and withdraw a large amount of money at a time may feel uncomfortable. There are attempts to fuse the pocket type and the present type to compensate for these two types of problems, but the actual application is still far from practical because of the complicated structure and poor practicality.

On the other hand, the front side of a conventional financial automation device is provided with a waiting portion for storing or carrying media. A waiting opening for a user to input or receive a medium is formed in the waiting area, and a shutter for selectively opening and closing the waiting opening is provided. Such a shutter must be controlled to remain closed when waiting for reception, and to open the entrance during reception. However, in some cases, the user attempts to forcefully open the shutter in a closed state with impurity intention, and in this case, it is necessary to lock the shutter in a closed state. Accordingly, there is a need to develop a new type of financial automation device having a shutter lock function.

The present invention has been devised to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and proposes a financial automation device having a simple deposit and withdrawal part while solving the problems of each of the pocket type and the present type.

In other words, the locking member 444 may interfere with the rotation path of the shutter lever 420 in the state in which the deposit/withdrawal shutter 410 closes the entrance 44 to limit the rotation of the shutter lever 420.

At this time, a gap G may be formed between the locking member 444 and the shutter lever 420 in a state in which the deposit/withdrawal shutter 410 closes the entrance 44. Accordingly, when the pinion 432 rotates and moves the rec 442 in a direction away from the shutter lever 420, the pinion 432 is rotated by the gap between the shutter lever 420 and the locking member 444. It is possible to prevent the shutter 420 from colliding with the locking member 444 by moving the rec 442 without being disturbed.

The guide protrusion 446 may be connected to the rack 442, and may be formed to protrude from one surface of the locking member 444. In other words, the guide protrusion 446 may be connected to the rack 442 through a locking member 444 connected to the rack 442. In addition, the guide projection 446 is inserted into the guide groove 12 formed in the main body 10, the guide projection 446 can be guided by the guide groove 12 when the movement of the rack 442. By the guide groove 12 and the guide protrusion 446, the movement range of the rec 442 may be guided and the movement range may be limited.

The sensing bracket 448 is connected to the rack 442, and more specifically, the locking member 444 may be formed to protrude from the other side of the opposite side of the one surface. In addition, a position sensor 449 may be provided on a path through which the sensing bracket 448 passes. The position sensor 449 may be provided in the main body 10, and may sense the position of the rack 442 by interference with the sensing bracket 448.
