Description

The invention relates to sorting, control, storage, issuance and other operations with material assets, namely, removable cassette devices used in robotic self-service banking devices, in particular in robotic ATMs.

Closest to the claimed invention is a removable cassette selected as a prototype for a robotic banking self-service device, comprising a housing periodically closed by a lid with at least one shelf rigidly fixed inside it, forming working cells together with the internal walls of the housing (see JPS patent 62211244 , Fig. 1, item 14, publ. 09/17/1987).

The disadvantage of the prototype is the low operational capabilities of the use of the device, which does not allow to ensure the reliability of the safety of material assets placed in the cassette during encashment and / or unauthorized entry into the robotic banking self-service device and during unauthorized opening of the cassette itself.

The technical result achieved by using the present invention is to ensure the reliability of the protection of the contents of the cartridge during collection, unauthorized entry into the robotic banking self-service device and during unauthorized opening of the cartridge itself.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that in a removable cassette for a robotic banking self-service device containing a housing periodically closed by a lid with at least one shelf rigidly fixed inside it, forming working cells together with the inner walls of the housing, the lid is made in the form the protective shutter case, consisting of plates pivotally interconnected, and the cassette is equipped with a programmable controller installed in the case with an identification number ohm, electrically connected to the controller, the drive for moving the protective shutter, in the form of at least an electric motor and gearbox, and an ink protection system, which includes at least one perforated tube for injecting ink into each working cell and the ink supply device connected to the tube .

The essence of the invention and the possibility of achieving a technical result are disclosed in detail on a specific example of a removable cartridge for a robotic banking self-service device with reference to the drawings, where in FIG. 1 shows a general view of a removable cassette for a robotic banking self-service device in a perspective view, a housing with a closed lid; FIG. 2 - a protective shutter with a movement drive and a programmable controller in a perspective view, FIG. 3 is a removable cartridge for a robotic banking self-service device in a perspective view, a housing without a cover, FIG. 4 - removable cartridge with a grip of the manipulator, in a perspective view, the body without a cover.

The removable cassette for a robotic banking self-service device contains a housing 2 periodically closed by a cover 1 with at least one shelf 3 rigidly fixed inside it (ten shelves 3 are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4), which form working cells together with the inner walls 4 of the housing 2 5 (in Figs. 3 and 4, a cassette with ten working cells 5 is shown for storing material assets, storage objects, for example banknotes). The cover 1 is made in the form of a protective shutter 6 installed in the housing 2, consisting of plates 7 pivotally connected to each other, which ensures its quick extension, reliable closure and compact arrangement inside the housing 2 when the cartridge is open. The cassette is equipped with a programmable controller 8 installed in the housing 2 with an identification number electrically connected to the controller 8 with a displacement drive (see Fig. 2) of the security shutter 6, in the form of at least an electric motor 9 and a gearbox 10, and an ink protection system including at least one perforated ink injection tube 11 into each working cell 5 and an ink supply device 12 connected to the tube 11. The identification number allows the control system of the robotic banking self-service device (not shown in the drawings) to determine the contents in each working cell 5. The security shutter 6 allows you to protect the storage object during collection and / or in case of unauthorized entry into the robotic banking self-service device. In this case, the opening and closing of the protective curtain 6 is controlled automatically by the control system through the programmable controller 8 of the cartridge. The ink protection system provides coloring of storage objects (for example, folded into a stack of banknotes) in case of unauthorized opening of the cartridge itself. The cassette can be equipped with fingers-separators 13 located on each shelf 3 with the formation of cavities 14, intended for periodic placement of the fingers 15 of the grip of the manipulator (Fig. 4 shows six cavities 14 in each working cell 5 for accommodating six fingers 15). Each working cell 5 may contain clamping strips 16 for fixing storage objects (material values, for example, banknotes) inside the cell. In addition, the removable cartridge has its mounting means in a vertical position, made, for example, in the form of rods 17 located on the side surfaces of the housing 2 with the possibility of interaction with the guides 18 of the adapter 19 (see Fig. 1). The adapter 19 is a device for attaching and connecting a removable cartridge to a control system of a robotic banking self-service device and has the shape of a curved frame with side rails and is equipped with a connector for connecting a removable cartridge to the aforementioned control system. The removable cartridge may have a different number of working cells 5, the volume of which (cell sizes) may also be different.

A removable cassette for a robotic banking self-service device operates as follows.

The casing 2 of the cartridge is installed in the adapter 19 of the robotic self-service banking device. The cassette is identified by the self-service banking device control system, which determines the contents of each working cell 5. At the end of the identification process, the protective shutter is opened 6. Material assets entering the robotic banking self-service device are captured by the gripper of the manipulator and transferred to the free working cell 5 of the cassette. After placing the storage object inside this working cell 5, the fingers 15 of the manipulator grip are unclenched, lowering the aforementioned object onto the separator fingers 13, the latter being fixed in the working cell 5 by the pressure bars 16. The manipulator grip freed from material values “leaves” the working cell 5.

If it is necessary to unload from a specific working cell 5, for example, filled with tightly packed banknotes, the extended fingers 15 of the grip of the manipulator freely “enter” (are placed) in the cavity 14, then without damaging the bills, clamp the banknote stack and “exit” from the working cell 5.

Upon collection and / or unauthorized entry into the robotic self-service banking device, the control system last transmits the corresponding signal to the programmable controller 8, starts the electrically connected electric motor 9 and, through the reducer 10, moves (lowers) the protective shutter 6, reliably closing the cassette and preventing access to material to the values located in the working cells 5. In addition, with unauthorized opening of the cassette itself, the corresponding signal from the programmable controller 8 is supplied to the ink supply device 12, and then through the perforated tubes 11, ink is supplied to all working cells 5.

The invention has the following advantages: due to the implementation of the cover 1 in the form of a protective shutter 6, consisting of plates 7 pivotally connected to each other, as well as the presence of a programmable controller 8 with an identification number, a drive for moving the protective shutter 6 in the form of an electric motor 9 and a reducer 10 and an ink system protection, including at least one perforated tube 11 associated with the ink supply device 12, provides reliable protection of the contents of the cartridge during collection and / or unauthorized entry robotic device self-service banking and unauthorized opening of the cassette itself.
