[1-9. Effect]
Here, as a conventional rear side sorting and conveying unit, there is one in which the conveying frame 34 and the conveying guide 36 are integrally formed only by the high-functional material HM. However, in that case, the material is expensive because it is formed of the high-functional material HM up to the conveyance frame 34 that does not need to have conductivity and wear resistance as much as the conveyance guide 36.

On the other hand, the rear distribution transport unit 32 is configured to form the transport frame 34 from the standard material RM instead of the high-functional material HM. For this reason, the rear distribution transport unit 32 includes a transport frame 34 that is required to be as low as possible while maintaining strength, and a transport guide 36 that is required to have functions of conductivity and wear resistance rather than cost reduction. Since the functions of the material can be appropriately allocated and the high-functional material can be used only in a necessary place, both the conveyance frame 34 and the conveyance guide 36 are integrally formed of the high-functional material HM. Compared with the unit, the cost of the material can be reduced while maintaining the function of the entire rear sorting and conveying unit.

In addition, as a conventional rear-side distribution transfer unit, the transfer frame 34 is formed of a standard material RM, the transfer guide 36 is formed of a high-functional material HM, and the transfer frame 34 and the transfer guide 36 are combined. Some of the rear sorting and conveying sections are manufactured. However, in that case, a process of combining the transport frame 34 and the transport guide 36 is required, and the cost of assembly man-hours is increased.

On the other hand, the rear distribution transport unit 32 is configured such that the transport frame 34 and the transport guide 36 are integrally formed. For this reason, the rear side distribution conveyance part 32 can reduce the cost of an assembly man-hour rather than the case where combining them after shape | molding the conveyance frame 34 and the conveyance guide 36 separately.

As described above, the rear distribution transfer unit 32 is capable of reducing the material cost as compared with the case where both the transfer frame 34 and the transfer guide 36 are integrally formed of the high-functional material HM, and the transfer frame 34 and the transfer guide. By reducing the assembly cost as compared with the case where they are separately molded and then combined, the balance between the material cost and the assembly cost can be improved.

Here, in general, in two-color molding of different materials, the boundary portions between the materials are only in contact with each other, and the materials are not firmly joined. For this reason, the contact anchor portion 54 formed by one-side slide molding also has the standard material RM and the highly functional material HM so that the conveyance guide 36 does not come off the conveyance frame 34 when an external force is applied at least in the tensile direction and the compression direction. Since they are only in contact with each other, the joint portion is easily detached. On the other hand, the encapsulated anchor portion 52 formed by the double-sided slide molding does not come off because the standard material RM is encapsulated in the high-functional material HM. High strength.

In one-sided slide molding, the encapsulated anchor portion cannot be molded due to the molding process. For this reason, it is only necessary to form all the anchor portions in the rear distribution transport unit 32 by double-sided slide molding to form the encapsulated anchor portion. In particular, the inner mold movable portion 74 is physically connected to other mechanisms. Because it interferes, it is difficult in practice. For this reason, in the rear side distribution conveyance part 32, the enveloping anchor part 52 will be arrange | positioned aiming at a location where strong joining is required among the boundaries of the highly functional material HM and the standard material RM.

Therefore, the rear sorting / conveying section 32 surrounds the boundary between the materials with the contact anchor section 54 over the entire circumference, and the encapsulated anchor section 52 is arranged so as to surround the contact anchor section 54. For this reason, the rear distribution transport unit 32 can support the contact anchor portion 54 that is easily detached by the external force Fet moving in the left-right direction with the encapsulated anchor portion 52 that does not deviate with respect to the force in all directions. Can be prevented from coming off the carrier frame 34.

Here, as in the rear sorting and conveying unit 1032 shown in FIG. 10A, it is assumed that the contact anchor part 54 formed by the one-side slide molding is not formed at the joint portion between the high-functional material HM and the standard material RM. When only the encapsulated anchor portion 52 formed by the slide molding is formed, in order to set the boundary between the high function material HM and the standard material RM strictly, between the high function material HM and the standard material RM, Since a partition is required, the transport side frame 46 is formed with a gap SP at a portion corresponding to the contact anchor portion 54, that is, around the transport guide 36 by the amount corresponding to the partition.

At this time, when an upward external force Fe is applied to the lower side surface of the transfer side frame 46 of the rear distribution transfer unit 1032, the external force Fe is not transmitted and dispersed to the transfer guide 36 because the gap SP exists. Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, the external force Fe is received only at the lower side of the conveyance guide 36 in the conveyance side frame 46, and the conveyance side frame 46 is deformed to be bent upward. As described above, if a gap is formed between the high-functional material HM and the standard material RM, it becomes difficult to provide the structural strength of the rear distribution transport unit 32.

On the other hand, the rear sorting and conveying unit 32 is configured to fill the gap between the conveying frame 34 and the conveying guide 36 with the contact anchor unit 54. For this reason, the rear distribution transport unit 32 can eliminate the gap between the transport frame 34 and the transport guide 36. Therefore, when the external force Fe is applied, the rear distribution transport unit 32 is transmitted to the transport guide 36 and can receive the external force Fe by the transport frame 34 and the transport guide 36 as a whole. The deformation of the frame 34 can be prevented, and the strength of the rear distribution transport unit 32 can be maintained.

As described above, the rear sorting and conveying unit 32 reliably ensures the boundary between the high-functional material HM and the standard material RM by combining one-side slide molding and both-side slide molding in the in-mold slide type two-color molding. The mold can be partitioned and the quality is stabilized, and a mold and an injection molding machine of the same size as the case where the conveyance frame and the conveyance guide are integrally formed of a single material as in the conventional rear side distribution conveyance unit. It can be used and the molding cost can be pushed.

Also, as a molding method, simultaneous molding in which two materials are injected simultaneously without forming a partition in the mold is also conceivable. However, in the case of simultaneous molding, since there is no partition in the mold, the boundary between the materials becomes unstable, and the material cannot be reliably controlled. Also, using one core mold and two cavity molds, molding the first color material with the first cavity mold, opening the mold once and exchanging the mold with a rotary table etc., then the second cavity There is also a rotary method in which a second color material is molded with a mold. However, in the case of the rotary system, a large mold for two substantial molds is required, and a large injection molding machine is also required. On the other hand, in the case of the in-mold slide system of the present embodiment, the mold is complicated, but the boundary between the materials can be surely partitioned, and the mold is not enlarged as much as the rotary system, There is no need to use a large injection molding machine

In addition, the rear distribution transport unit 32 is configured to form the transport frame 34 and the transport guide 36 in different colors. For this reason, the rear side sorting and conveying unit 32 can easily visually confirm that the conveying frame 34 and the conveying guide 36 are formed of different materials, and can also prevent molding defects in the manufacturing process and the inspection process. Discovery can be made easy. This is because in-mold slide type two-color molding, the second color material is injected before the first color material is completely cured, so depending on the molding conditions and part shape, the slide part may be more than normal injection molding. Since molding defects are likely to occur, the present invention is particularly useful in the present disclosure in which the rear distribution conveyance unit 32 is manufactured by in-mold slide type two-color molding. In addition, since the rear sorting and conveying unit 32 uses different colors for the material of the conveyance frame 34 and the conveyance guide 36, the material can be easily separated due to the difference in color even when discarded. Can be made easy to recycle.

By the way, the conveyance belt 38 presses the banknote against the conveyance roller 40 as in the rear sorting conveyance section 32 rather than the conveyance section that conveys the banknotes with the conveyance rollers facing each other. It is considered that the conveyance unit that conveys the banknote while sandwiching the banknote with the roller 40 is more easily conveyed while the banknote is in further contact with the conveyance guide 36. In that case, since the conveyance guide 36 becomes easy to be charged by contact with a bill, it is necessary to form the conveyance guide 36 with a conductive material. For this reason, the present disclosure is remarkably effective when applied to a conveyance unit that sandwiches and conveys banknotes between the conveyance belt 38 and the conveyance roller 40 like the rear-side distribution conveyance unit 32.

According to the above configuration, the automatic teller machine 1 is a customer reception unit 3 that receives transactions relating to banknotes as a medium, and a transport frame that supports a transport belt 38 and a transport roller 40 as a transport unit that transports banknotes on a transport path. 34 and the transport frame 34 are formed of a material having different characteristics, and a transport guide 36 that is integrally formed with the transport frame 34 by two-color molding and forms a transport surface of a bill is provided. Thereby, the automatic teller machine 1 forms the conveyance frame 34 and the conveyance guide 36 separately, reducing material cost compared with the case where both the conveyance frame 34 and the conveyance guide 36 are integrally molded with the high-functional material HM. In addition, the assembly cost can be reduced as compared with the case of combination.

[2. Second Embodiment]
[2-1. Configuration of banknote deposit and withdrawal machine]
As shown in FIG.1 and FIG.2, the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 110 of the automatic teller machine 101 by 2nd Embodiment is compared with the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 10 of the automatic teller machine 1 by 1st Embodiment. Although the rear distribution transport unit 132 is different from the rear distribution transport unit 32, the rest is configured in the same manner.

[2-2. Configuration of rear distribution transport unit]
As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, in which members corresponding to those in FIGS. 3 and 4 are given the same reference numerals, the rear sorting and conveying unit 132 according to the second embodiment is the rear part according to the first embodiment. Compared with the side distribution conveyance unit 32, the conveyance frame 134 is different from the conveyance frame 34, and the conveyance guide 136 (136A, 136B, and 136C) is different from the conveyance guide 36 (36A, 36B, and 36C). Has been.

As shown in FIG. 11, a beam 90 is added to the conveyance frame 134 as compared with the conveyance frame 34 (FIG. 3). The beams 90 are formed of a standard material RM, and are arranged one by one between the conveyance guide 136A and the conveyance guide 136B and between the conveyance guide 136B and the conveyance guide 136C so as to be substantially along the conveyance width direction. The transfer right side frame 46R and the transfer left side frame 46L are integrally formed. The beam 90 is rod-shaped, and the strength of the transport frame 134 is increased by connecting the transport right side frame 46R and the transport left side frame 46L, and the transport right side frame 46R and the transport left side frame 46L are connected to each other. The deflection is sufficiently small.

As shown in FIG. 12, the conveyance guide 136 has the encapsulation anchor portion 52 omitted compared to the conveyance guide 36 (FIG. 4). Further, the transport guide 136 is hooked from the left and right outer sides to the transport right side frame 46R and the transport left side frame 46L by the contact anchor portions 54 provided at the right end and the left end, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 13, when an external force Fet is applied to the transport guide 136B along any one of the left and right directions (for example, the left direction), the transport guide 136 is moved leftward from the transport frame 134. Try to come off. Here, since the bending of the conveyance right side frame 46R and the conveyance left side frame 46L is sufficiently small due to the beam 90, the conveyance guide 136B is configured so that the conveyance guide 136B does not contact the contact anchor portion even when the detachment external force Fet is applied. 54 continues to be caught without detaching from the conveyance right side frame 46R. For this reason, the conveyance guide 136 can endure it so that it does not come off from the conveyance frame 134 even when the external force Fet is applied in the configuration in which the encapsulated anchor portion 52 does not exist even if the conveyance guide 136 is detached in the left-right direction.

As described above, the automatic teller machine 101 forms the contact anchor portion 54 by one-side slide molding, but does not form the encapsulated anchor portion 52 by both-side slide molding. As a result, the automatic teller machine 101 performs one-sided slide molding with low difficulty without performing both-side slide molding with a structurally difficult difficulty of the mold. The degree of freedom can be increased.

Further, since the automatic teller machine 101 does not form the encapsulated anchor portion 52, the frame strength higher than that of the rear sorting and conveying portion 32 is set so that the conveyance guide 136 does not come off from the conveyance frame 134. Although it is calculated | required by 134, the frame intensity | strength of this conveyance frame 134 can be raised by adding the beam 90 to this conveyance frame 134, and the rear side distribution conveyance part 132 which ensured structural strength can be created.

Others The rear sorting and conveying unit 132 according to the second embodiment has substantially the same operational effects as the rear sorting and conveying unit 32 according to the first embodiment.
