Description
本発明は媒体受渡装置及び媒体処理装置に関し、例えば金融機関の窓口に設置される紙幣処理装置(いわゆるテラーマシン)に適用できるものである。
[1-1.紙幣処理装置の外観構成]
まず第1の実施の形態について説明する。図1に、紙幣処理装置1の外観構成を示す。この紙幣処理装置1は、金融機関の窓口等に設置される窓口用現金処理装置であり、当該窓口等において顧客と応対する窓口担当者等の操作者(ユーザ)に操作されることにより、紙幣の入出金処理を行うようになされている。
次に、図2を用いて、紙幣処理装置1の内部構成について説明する。紙幣処理装置1の筐体2内には、上述した制御部7の他、鑑別部11、一時保留部12、紙幣カセット13A~13D、リジェクト庫14及び搬送部15が設けられている。
次に、紙幣受渡部10の構成について説明する。図3に外観を示すように、紙幣受渡部10は、全体として左右に長く前後に短い直方体を左側から見て時計回りに回転させたような形状となっており、下側のフレーム21及び上側のシャッタ22に大きく分けられている。
以上の構成において、第1の実施の形態による紙幣受渡部10は、出金処理が行われる場合、制御部7の制御に基づき、まず回動軸23によりシャッタ22を回動させて閉塞状態とする(図3、図4A)。
第2の実施の形態においては、紙幣処理装置1における出金部4として、図4Aと対応する図8に示すように、紙幣受渡部10に代わる紙幣受渡部110が用いられる。
紙幣受渡部110は、第1の実施の形態による紙幣受渡部10と比較して、フレーム21及びシャッタ22に代わるフレーム121及びシャッタ122が設けられると共に、第2シャッタ141、回動軸142及びスプリング143が追加されている点において相違するものの、他の部分については同様に構成されている。
以上の構成において、第2の実施の形態による紙幣受渡部110は、制御部7の制御に基づき、回動軸23によりフレーム121に対しシャッタ122を閉方向R2へ回動させる等してシャッタ122を閉塞状態としたとき、集積空間SCの傾斜上側及び左右の上側部分における中程から傾斜後側に渡る範囲を当該シャッタ122により覆う。
第3の実施の形態においては、紙幣処理装置1における出金部4として、図4A及び図8と対応する図9に示すように、紙幣受渡部10に代わる紙幣受渡部210が用いられる。
紙幣受渡部210は、第1の実施の形態による紙幣受渡部10と比較して、フレーム21及びシャッタ22に代わるフレーム221及びシャッタ222が設けられると共に、第2シャッタ241、回動軸242、スプリング243、ロック機構部250及びリンク機構部260が追加されている点において相違するものの、他の部分については同様に構成されている。
ところで紙幣受渡部210は、シャッタ222を開放状態又は閉塞状態へ遷移させる際、制御部7の制御に基づいてリンクレバー261を回動させることにより、当該シャッタ222を回動させる。
以上の構成において、第3の実施の形態による紙幣受渡部210は、シャッタ222が閉塞状態であり、ロックレバー251がロック状態であり、且つリンクレバー261がリンククローズ状態であるとき(以下これを閉塞ロック状態と呼ぶ)、集積空間SCを外部から遮蔽する(図9)。
第4の実施の形態においては、紙幣処理装置1における出金部4として、図4A、図8及び図9と対応する図16に示すように、紙幣受渡部10に代わる紙幣受渡部310が用いられる。
紙幣受渡部310は、第1の実施の形態による紙幣受渡部10と比較して、フレーム21及びシャッタ22に代わるフレーム321及びシャッタ322が設けられると共に、第2シャッタ341、回動軸342、スプリング343及びリンク機構部360が追加されている点において相違するものの、他の部分については同様に構成されている。
以上の構成において、第4の実施の形態による紙幣受渡部310は、シャッタ322が閉塞状態であり、且つリンクレバー361がリンククローズ状態であるとき、第2シャッタ341を第2閉塞状態として、集積空間SCを外部から遮蔽する(図16)。
なお上述した第1の実施の形態においては、フレーム21における集積空間SCの傾斜上方向及び左右方向の上側部分に加えて傾斜後方向を開放し、これらの部分をシャッタ22により覆うようにした場合について述べた。
