DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of a money processing device according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] 1 and 2 show a money processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, with FIG. 1 being a perspective view showing the exterior configuration and FIG. 2 being a front view showing the exterior configuration.

[0014] The money processing device 1 illustrated here is adapted to be used as an automatic change dispenser connected to a POS (Point Of Sales) register device (not shown) as a higher-level device in stores such as supermarkets and convenience stores, and is equipped with a device main body 10.

[0015] The device main body 10 is a rectangular housing having a front opening 10a (see Figures 3 and 4) at the front, and is movable with multiple casters 11 (four in the illustrated example) provided at the bottom.

[0016] The front opening 10a of the device main body 10 can be opened and closed by a door body 20. The door body 20 includes a front cover 20a and a front door 20b. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the front cover 20a is pivotally supported on a portion of the front reinforcing metal 12 so as to be swingable around the central axis of a cover shaft (not shown) extending in the left-right direction. The front cover 20a opens the upper portion of the front opening 10a by swinging upward, and closes the upper portion of the front opening 10a by swinging downward.

[0017] The front door 20b is pivotally supported on the front end portion of the bottom of the apparatus main body 10 so as to be able to swing about the central axis of a door axis portion (not shown) extending in the left-right direction. When the front door 20b swings forward, it opens the lower portion of the front opening 10a, i.e., the portion that cannot be closed by the front cover 20a, and when it swings backward, it closes the lower portion of the front opening 10a.

[0018] The front door 20b is provided with a locking mechanism (not shown), and when this locking mechanism is in a locked state, the front door 20b is kept in a state in which the lower part of the front opening 10a is blocked, while when the locking mechanism is in an unlocked state, the front door 20b becomes able to swing forward.

[0019] Furthermore, the front door 20b has a function of pressing a part of the front cover 20a in the closed state, and when the locking mechanism is in the locked state, the front cover 20a is kept in the closed state. The configuration of the front door 20b will be described later.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 2, a banknote processing unit 13 and a coin processing unit 14 are housed inside the device main body 10.

[0021] The banknote processing unit 13 is housed in a unit housing section (not shown) located in the upper left corner inside the device main body 10. The unit housing section is a box having an opening on the front side.

[0022] Such a banknote processing unit 13 identifies the authenticity and denomination of coins deposited through the banknote deposit port 131a of the banknote deposit unit 131, and stores the coins in banknote storage vaults provided according to the denominations. When a dispensing command is given, the banknote processing unit 13 also feeds banknotes from the corresponding banknote storage vaults and dispenses the banknotes from a banknote dispensing port (not shown) of the banknote dispensing unit 132. This banknote dispensing port is opened and closed by a banknote dispensing door 132a.

[0023] The bill deposit slot 131a and the bill withdrawal slot are exposed to the outside through a bill deposit / withdrawal opening 21a formed in the front cover 20a.

[0024] The coin processing unit 14 identifies the authenticity and denomination of coins deposited through the coin deposit port of the coin deposit section, and temporarily stores coins that are identified as genuine. In response to a deposit command from the POS register device, the coin processing unit 14 sorts the temporarily stored coins by denomination and stores them in coin storage cabinets provided for each denomination.

[0025] In addition, the coin processing unit 14 feeds coins from the corresponding coin storage in response to a dispensing command from the POS register device, transports the coins to the coin dispensing section, and dispenses them from the coin dispensing port.

[0026] The coin deposit port is provided at approximately the same height as the banknote deposit port 131a and is exposed to the outside through a coin deposit opening 21b formed in the front cover 20a. The coin withdrawal port is provided at approximately the same height as the banknote withdrawal port and is exposed to the outside through a coin withdrawal opening 21c formed in the front cover 20a. Coins withdrawn from this coin withdrawal port are paid out to a withdrawal tray 21d formed in the front cover 20a.

[0027] In the above-mentioned money processing device 1, the banknote handling unit 13 and the coin handling unit 14 are stored in the device main body 10 so that they partially overlap each other, with the banknote deposit section 131 and the coin deposit section disposed at approximately the same height. More specifically, the banknote handling unit 13 is disposed above the coin handling unit 14 and stored in the device main body 10, with part of the coin handling unit 14 disposed in a lateral region of the banknote handling unit 13.

[0028] In addition, in the money processing device 1, the banknote processing unit 13 can be pulled out to the outside of the device main body 10 when the door body 20 (front cover 20a and front door 20b) opens the front opening 10a by a banknote sliding mechanism (not shown) interposed between the unit storage section.

[0029] Furthermore, in the money processing device 1, the coin processing unit 14 can be pulled out to the outside of the device main body 10 when the door body 20 (front cover 20a and front door 20b) opens the front opening 10a by means of a coin sliding mechanism (not shown) interposed between the device main body 10 and the coin processing unit 14.

[0030] The front door 20b is provided with a pair of rectangular leg openings 22 on the left and right. These leg openings 22 are elongated holes with the vertical direction as viewed in Figures 1 and 2. Legs 23 are provided facing these leg openings 22, as shown in Figure 5. These legs 23 are attached to leg shafts 24, which are rotatably mounted on both the left and right edges of the front door 20b, so as to be integral with the leg shafts 24.

[0031] A connecting portion 25 is attached integrally between the legs 23 of the leg shaft 24. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the connecting portion 25 is a long, flat member, and is attached to one end so that the leg shaft 24 passes through it, and a first spring 26a is fastened to the right surface of the other end, and a second spring 26b is fastened to the left surface of the other end.

[0032] One end of first spring 26a is engaged with connecting portion 25, and the other end is engaged with first support portion 15 installed at a predetermined location on device body 10. One end of second spring 26b is engaged with connecting portion 25, and the other end is engaged with second support portion 27 installed on the back surface of front door 20b.

[0033] 1 and 2, the first support portion 15 is installed at a location where the biasing force of the second spring 26b becomes stronger than the biasing force of the first spring 26a when the front door 20b closes the lower part of the front opening 10a, and where the biasing force of the first spring 26a gradually becomes stronger as the front door 20b swings forward (swings in the direction opening the front opening 10a), and where the biasing force of the first spring 26a becomes stronger than the biasing force of the second spring 26b when the amount of forward swing of the front door 20b reaches a predetermined amount or more.

[0034] As a result, when the front door 20b closes the lower portion of the front opening 10a, the biasing force of the second spring 26b is stronger than the biasing force of the first spring 26a, causing the legs 23 to assume a retracted position retracted from the leg opening 22, as shown in Fig. 6, and when the amount of forward swing of the front door 20b is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount, the biasing force of the first spring 26a is stronger than the biasing force of the second spring 26b, causing the legs 23 to assume an advanced position advanced outward from the leg opening 22, as shown in Fig. 7. In other words, the legs 23 are arranged so as to be able to move forward and backward in a manner that they appear and disappear from the leg opening 22, and when they move forward in a manner that they protrude from the leg opening 22, they come into contact with the installation surface.

[0035] As described above, according to the money processing device 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, the banknote processing unit 13 and the coin processing unit 14 are stored in the device body 10 so that they are partially overlapping one another, thereby reducing the area occupied. Moreover, when the front opening 10a is opened, the legs 23 of the front door 20b constituting the door body 20 contact the ground, so that when the banknote processing unit 13 or the coin processing unit 14 is pulled out of the device body 10, the front door 20b itself functions as a support member to prevent tipping, thereby preventing the entire device from tipping over.

[0036] In particular, since the legs 23 of the front door 20b (door body 20) that opens the front opening 10a are designed to be in contact with the ground, there is no need to provide a support plate or the like to the device body 10 to prevent it from falling over, and this also does not pose a risk of hindering the reduction of the occupied area.

[0037] The following describes a modified example of the present embodiment of the money handling device 1. Note that the same components as those in the money handling device 1 of the above-described embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations will be omitted where appropriate.

[0038] The above-described money handling device 1 may employ a locking metal plate 30 as shown in Fig. 8. The locking metal plate 30 is a long, flat member having a first connecting hole 31 formed at one end in the longitudinal direction and a second connecting hole 32 formed from the first connecting hole 31 toward the other end in the longitudinal direction.

[0039] The first connecting hole 31 is a circular hole, and the second connecting hole 32 is an irregularly shaped elongated hole whose longitudinal direction coincides with the longitudinal direction of the locking metal plate 30. The second connecting hole 32 is configured by a linear hole portion 32a extending away from the first connecting hole 31 and a branched hole portion 32b which separates from the linear hole portion 32a as it approaches the first connecting hole 31 from the middle of the linear hole portion 32a and communicates with each other.

[0040] Such a locking metal plate 30 is installed so as to be interposed between the left side of the front door 20b and the left side of the device body 10, and between the right side of the front door 20b and the right side of the device body 10, and is arranged so that the door side connecting pin 28 provided on the front door 20b is inserted into the first connecting hole 31, and the body side connecting pin 18 provided on the device body 10 is inserted into the second connecting hole 32.

[0041] In a money processing device 1 to which such a locking metal plate 30 is applied, as shown in Figure 9, when the front door 20b blocks the lower part of the front opening 10a, the main body side connecting pin 18 is positioned at a location close to the first connecting hole 31 in the linear hole portion 32a of the second connecting hole 32.

[0042] Then, as shown in Figure 10, when the front door 20b swings forward, the main body side connecting pin 18 moves away from the first connecting hole 31 (door side connecting pin 28), relatively displacing the linear hole portion 32a of the second connecting hole 32.

[0043] Then, as shown in Figure 11, when the front door 20b swings forward to its maximum extent, the main body side connecting pin 18 is positioned at the point in the linear hole portion 32a of the second connecting hole 32 that is farthest from the first connecting hole 31.

[0044] 12, by slightly swinging the front door 20b backward, the main body side connecting pin 18 reaches the branch hole portion 32b of the second connecting hole 32. When the main body side connecting pin 18 reaches the branch hole portion 32b in this manner, the front door 20b is held in its swinging position. In other words, the locking metal plate 30 holds the front door 20b in a position in which it has swung forward.

[0045] By using the locking metal plate 30 in this manner, the front door 20b constituting the door body 20 has its legs 23 kept in a grounded state when the front opening 10a is opened. Therefore, when the banknote processing unit 13 or coin processing unit 14 is pulled out of the device main body 10, the front door 20b itself functions as an anti-tip support member, thereby preventing the entire device from tipping over.

[0046] To release the front door 20b from the state in which it has been swung forward by the locking metal plate 30, the front door 20b is slightly swung forward while gripping the locking metal plate 30 with fingers or the like, thereby displacing the main body side connecting pin 18 from the branch hole portion 32b to the linear hole portion 32a. By then swinging the front door 20b backward, the front door 20b closes the lower portion of the front opening 10a.

[0047] 13 and 14 are perspective views showing the external configuration of another modified example of the money handling device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0048] The money processing device 2 illustrated here is provided with a door 40 that opens and closes the front opening 10a of the device body 10. The door 40 includes a front cover 20a and a front door 20c.

[0049] The front cover 20a is pivotally supported on a portion of the front reinforcing metal 12 so as to be able to swing about the central axis of a cover shaft (not shown) extending in the left-right direction. When the front cover 20a swings upward, it opens the upper part of the front opening 10a, and when it swings downward, it closes the upper part of the front opening 10a.

[0050] The front door 20c is a door large enough to cover the lower part of the front opening 10a, i.e., the part that cannot be covered by the front cover 20a, and is provided with door-side casters 41 as legs at the bottom.

[0051] This front door 20c is supported by a door slide mechanism 42 interposed between it and the apparatus main body 10. The door slide mechanism 42 is provided with an outer component and an inner component that are slidable relative to each other, with the outer component attached to the apparatus main body 10 and the inner component attached to the front door 20c.

[0052] This allows the front door 20c to slide in the front-rear direction, and more specifically, it can slide in the front-rear direction while moving toward and away from the device main body 10. By sliding the front door 20c forward in this manner, the lower part of the front opening 10a can be opened, and by sliding the front door 20c backward, the lower part of the front opening 10a can be closed.

[0053] In a money processing device 2 having such a configuration, the banknote processing unit 13 and the coin processing unit 14 are stored in the device body 10 so that they partially overlap each other, thereby reducing the area occupied. Moreover, the front door 20c that constitutes the door body 40 slides in the front-to-rear direction with the door-side casters 41 arranged on the front door 20c in contact with the ground, so that when the banknote processing unit 13 or the coin processing unit 14 is pulled out to the outside of the device body 10, the front door 20c itself functions as an anti-tip support member, preventing the entire device from tipping over.

[0054] 15 and 16 are perspective views showing the external configuration of another modified example of the money handling device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0055] The money processing device 3 illustrated here is provided with a door 50 that opens and closes the front opening 10a of the device body 10. The door 50 includes a front cover 20a and a front door 20d.

[0056] The front cover 20a is pivotally supported on a portion of the front reinforcing metal 12 so as to be able to swing about the central axis of a cover shaft (not shown) extending in the left-right direction. When the front cover 20a swings upward, it opens the upper part of the front opening 10a, and when it swings downward, it closes the upper part of the front opening 10a.

[0057] The front door 20d is a door large enough to close the lower portion of the front opening 10a, that is, the portion that cannot be closed by the front cover 20a, and has an outer door 51 and an inner door 52.

[0058] The outer door 51 is pivotally supported on the front end portion of the left edge of the device body 10 so as to be swingable about the central axis of an outer door shaft portion (not shown) extending in the vertical direction. The bottom portion of the outer door 51 is provided with outer door side casters 511 as legs.

[0059] The inner door 52 is pivotally supported at the front end of the right edge of the apparatus body 10 so as to be swingable about the central axis of an inner door shaft (not shown) extending in the up-down direction. Inner door casters 521 serving as legs are provided at the bottom of the inner door 52. The inner door 52 also has a rectangular opening 522 formed therein.

[0060] In such a front door 20d, the inner door 52 swings backward in a manner approaching the device main body 10, and then the outer door 51 swings backward in a manner approaching the device main body 10, so that the outer door 51 closes the lower part of the front opening 10a of the device main body 10 with the inner door 52 interposed therebetween.

[0061] In addition, the front door 20d opens the lower portion of the front opening 10a of the device body 10 by swinging the outer door 51 forward in a manner that moves it away from the device body 10, and then swinging the inner door 52 forward in a manner that moves it away from the device body 10.

[0062] In a money processing device 3 having such a configuration, the banknote processing unit 13 and the coin processing unit 14 are stored in the device body 10 so that parts of them overlap one another vertically, thereby reducing the area occupied. Moreover, the front door 20d (outer door 51 and inner door 52) that constitutes the door body 50 swings back and forth with the outer door side casters 511 and inner door side casters 521 disposed thereon in contact with the ground, so that when the banknote processing unit 13 or the coin processing unit 14 is pulled out to the outside of the device body 10, the front door 20d itself functions as an anti-tip support member, thereby preventing the entire device from tipping over.

[0063] Furthermore, according to the above-mentioned money processing device 3, the front door 20d is equipped with an outer door 51 and an inner door 52, but the inner door 52 has a rectangular opening 522 formed therein, which makes the inner door 52 itself lighter, thereby suppressing the adverse effect of having the outer door 51 and the inner door 52, namely, an increase in weight.

[0064] Although the preferred embodiments and modifications of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these and various modifications can be made.

[0065] In the present invention, the locking metal plate 30 shown in Figure 8 may also be used in a money processing device 2 in which the front door 20c shown in Figures 13 and 14 slides back and forth, or in a money processing device 3 in which the front door 20d shown in Figures 15 and 16 is composed of an outer door 51 and an inner door 52 and swings.

[0066] Explaining in more detail, in the money processing device 3 shown in Figures 13 and 14, the door-side connecting pin provided on the front door 20c is inserted into the first connecting hole 31, and the locking metal plate 30 is interposed between the device main body 10 and the front door 20c so that the body-side connecting pin provided on the device main body 10 is inserted into the second connecting hole 32.

[0067] On the other hand, in the money processing device 3 shown in Figures 15 and 16, the locking metal plate 30 is interposed between the device main body 10 and the front door 20d (external door 51) so that the body side connecting pin provided on the device main body 10 is inserted into the first connecting hole 31 and the door side connecting pin provided on the external door 51 is inserted into the second connecting hole 32.

[0068] By using the locking metal plate 30 in this manner, the front doors 20c, 20d that make up the door bodies 40, 50 are kept in a state in which the door side casters 41, outer door side casters 511 and inner door side casters 521 are in contact with the ground while the front opening 10a is open, thereby preventing the entire device from tipping over when the banknote processing unit 13 or coin processing unit 14 is pulled out of the device main body 10.

[0069] Although not specifically mentioned in the above-described embodiment and modified examples, in the present invention, a lock piece 60 may be provided inside the device main body 10 as shown in FIGS.

[0070] The lock piece 60 is attached to the side wall of the device body 10 via a mounting pin 61 and is rotatable around the central axis of the mounting pin 61 .

[0071] In the normal state, as shown in Figure 17, a portion of this locking piece 60 is positioned on the front side of the coin processing unit 14, restricting the coin processing unit 14 from sliding forward while allowing the banknote processing unit 13 to slide forward.

[0072] By swinging upward, the locking piece 60 is positioned in part on the front side of the banknote processing unit 13, as shown in Figure 18, thereby restricting the banknote processing unit 13 from sliding forward while allowing the coin processing unit 14 to slide forward.

[0073] By using such a locking piece 60, when the door bodies 20, 40, 50 open the front opening 10a of the device main body 10, it becomes possible to selectively pull out either the banknote processing unit 13 or the coin processing unit 14, thereby preventing the entire device from tipping over due to both the banknote processing unit 13 and the coin processing unit 14 being pulled out at the same time.
