Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the present specification and drawings, components having substantially the same functional configuration are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

[0020] <<1. Overview of Cash Processing Device>> One embodiment of the present invention relates to a cash processing device capable of preventing breakage of a key. First, referring to FIGS. 1, 2A, and 2B, an overview of the cash processing device will be described. <...

[0021] <1.1. Example of Cash Processing System Configuration> Figure 1 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of the external appearance of a cash processing device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The cash processing device 1 has a housing 2 and a banknote deposit / discharge machine 10 as a unit storage device and is a device that processes various media such as paper sheets, coins, and cards. The media include, for example, banknotes, coins, passbooks, gift certificates and other monetary instruments, tickets, and slips.

[0022] The cash processing device 1 according to this embodiment may be, for example, an Automatic Teller Machine (ATM). In this case, the cash processing device 1 is installed in, for example, a financial institution and used in cash-related transactions such as deposit or withdrawal processing conducted with customers. In the following description, an example in which the cash processing device 1 is an Automatic Teller Machine will be mainly described, but the cash processing device 1 according to this embodiment is not limited to an Automatic Teller Machine.

[0023] For example, the cash processing device 1 may be a payment machine operated by a cashier at the checkout counter (so-called register) of a retail store, such as a supermarket or convenience store, when a customer pays for the goods they wish to purchase.

[0024] Specifically, the cash processing device 1 may be a change dispenser installed in a retail store or the like. The change dispenser here may be a semi-self-service change dispenser operated by the customer in a retail store or the like, or a self-service change dispenser.

[0025] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, the side of the cash processing device 1 that the customer faces will be defined as the front, and the opposite side as the rear. The left and right sides from the perspective of the customer facing the front will be defined as the left and right sides, respectively. In addition, the top and bottom sides from the perspective of the customer facing the front will be defined as the top and bottom sides, respectively.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1, the cash processing device 1 is centered around a box-shaped casing 2. At the front of the casing 2, a customer service area 3 is provided in a position that makes it easy for customers to insert media (e.g., banknotes) and operate the touch panel while facing the device.

[0027] (Customer Service Department 3) The customer service unit 3 conducts transactions with customers using various media such as cash, cards, or passbooks, and also receives notifications of transaction information or operational instructions. The customer service unit 3 includes, for example, a card slot 4, a deposit / withdrawal slot 5, an operation display unit 6, a keypad 7, and a receipt issuing slot 8.

[0028] Card slot 4 is an entry / exit point through which various cards, such as cash cards, are inserted or ejected. A card processing unit (not shown) is located at the back of card slot 4. The card processing unit reads account numbers and other information magnetically recorded on the various cards.

[0029] The deposit / withdrawal slot 5 is the part into which banknotes deposited by customers are inserted, and the part from which banknotes to be withdrawn to customers are discharged. The deposit / withdrawal slot 5 is opened or closed by driving a shutter.

[0030] The operation display unit 6 includes the function of a display unit that displays operation screens related to various transactions, and the function of an operation unit that accepts input related to various transactions, such as the selection of the transaction type, PIN, and transaction amount.

[0031] The display function is realized, for example, by a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display device, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) device, or an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) device.

[0032] The input function can be achieved, for example, through a touch panel, keyboard, or mouse.

[0033] In Figure 1, the cash processing device 1 has an integrated configuration of the display unit and the operation unit, but it may also be configured with the functions of the display unit and the operation unit separated.

[0034] The numeric keypad 7 is a physical key that accepts input of numbers from "0" to "9," and is used when entering information such as PINs or transaction amounts.

[0035] The receipt issuing slot 8 is the part that issues a receipt with transaction details printed on it at the end of the transaction processing. A receipt processing unit (not shown) is located behind the receipt issuing slot 8, which prints the transaction details on the receipt.

[0036] The enclosure 2 contains a main control unit 9 that centrally controls the overall operation of the cash processing device 1, and a banknote deposit / discharge machine 10 that performs various operations related to banknotes.

[0037] (Main control unit 9) The main control unit 9 is centered around a CPU (Central Processing Unit) (not shown) and performs various processes such as deposit and withdrawal processing by reading and executing predetermined programs from ROM (Read Only Memory), flash memory, etc. (not shown).

[0038] Furthermore, the main control unit 9 has a storage unit inside which RAM (Random Access Memory), a hard disk drive, and flash memory are stored, and various types of information are stored in this storage unit.

[0039] (Banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 10) The banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 incorporates multiple parts that perform various processes related to banknotes. The banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 consists of blocks that include at least one banknote cassette for storing banknotes.

[0040] For example, the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 may consist of an upper block and a lower block. In this case, the upper block may be located above the approximate center in the vertical direction of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10, and the lower block may be located below the upper block of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10. However, for the sake of explanation, this specification will mainly describe an example in which the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 consists of a single block (component).

[0041] Figures 2A and 2B are schematic diagrams showing the opening and closing of the rear door 2R in the cash processing device 1. As shown in Figure 2B, the housing 2 of the cash processing device 1 has a large opening at the rear. The housing 2 is provided with an openable and closable rear door 2R that opens or closes this opening. The rear door 2R is also provided with a first lock L1, and the rear door 2R is locked or unlocked by a corresponding first key K1.

[0042] In other words, as shown in Figure 2A, if the first lock L1 is locked with the rear door 2R closed, the housing 2 can restrict access to the interior by maintaining the closed state of the rear door 2R.

[0043] On the other hand, when the first key K1 is inserted into the first lock L1, the rear door 2R of the housing 2 is unlocked, allowing access to the interior, as shown in Figure 2B.

[0044] <1.2. Storage and withdrawal of banknotes from the cash dispenser> To restrict the withdrawal of banknotes from the banknote deposit / discharge machine 10 and to secure the banknote deposit / discharge machine 10, the housing 2 is provided with a lock bracket 20 having a second lock L2, as shown in Figure 2B. Note that the lock bracket 20 is an example of the first bracket.

[0045] For example, the second lock L2 is a locking mechanism that controls the withdrawal limit of the banknote deposit / dispensing machine 10, and is provided with a keyhole. The keyhole of the second lock L2 is formed on the side of the lock bracket 20 that faces the withdrawal direction of the banknote deposit / dispensing machine 10 (the rear side shown in Figure 2B). The locking mechanism here is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, an electromagnetic locking mechanism that electrically controls the withdrawal limit of the banknote deposit / dispensing machine 10.

[0046] The second lock L2 of the lock bracket 20 is locked or unlocked by the second key K2 corresponding to the second lock L2. When the second lock L2 is unlocked, the locking mechanism is released, and the banknote deposit / dispensing machine 10 can be pulled out from the housing 2.

[0047] On the other hand, the state in which the second lock L2 is locked means that the locking mechanism is not released, and the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 10 cannot be pulled out of the housing 2. Now, referring to Figure 3, an example of the configuration of the second key K2 used for unlocking and locking the second lock L2 will be described.

[0048] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example configuration of the second key K2 according to this embodiment. The second key K2 may have a tag T attached to it, as shown in Figure 3. The tag T is attached, for example, for the purpose of key management. In addition, each key of multiple devices is fitted with a different, dedicated tag T for each device operator.

[0049] The cash processing device 1 according to this embodiment is characterized by preventing damage to the second key K2, which has a tag T attached as shown in Figure 3. Below, the causes of damage that may occur to the second key K2 with such a tag T attached, and the mechanism for preventing damage to the second key K2 due to such causes will be described in order.

[0050] Although the tag T shown in Figure 3 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, the shape of the tag T is not limited to a rectangular parallelepiped. The tag T in this embodiment may have any shape, for example, it may be a cube or a sphere.

[0051] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing the storage and withdrawal of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10. The banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 is attached to the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine housing 11, which forms the outer perimeter of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10, via slide rails 16 that are slidable in the front-rear direction.

[0052] Therefore, with the rear door 2R of the housing 2 open (Figure 2B), the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 moves (slides) in the front-to-back direction relative to the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine housing 11, thereby being stored inside the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine housing 11 or pulled out to the rear of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine housing 11.

[0053] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2B, the banknote deposit / discharge machine housing 11 is equipped with a second lock L2, which is locked or unlocked by a second key K2. Therefore, when the banknote deposit / discharge machine 10 is housed in the banknote deposit / discharge machine housing 11, the second lock L2 can be unlocked by the second key K2, allowing the banknote deposit / discharge machine 10 to be withdrawn from inside the banknote deposit / discharge machine housing 11. Now, referring to Figures 5, 6A, and 6B, the causes of damage to the second key K2 that may occur in the banknote deposit / discharge machine 15 according to the comparative example will be explained.

[0054] (Organizing the issues) Figure 5 is an example of a perspective view of the banknote deposit / discharge machine 15 being stored, according to a comparative example. Here, "when the banknote deposit / discharge machine 15 is stored" does not refer to the state in which the banknote deposit / discharge machine 15 is completely stored in the banknote deposit / discharge machine housing 11, but rather to a point in the process of storing the banknote deposit / discharge machine 15 in the banknote deposit / discharge machine housing 11.

[0055] For example, the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 15 comprises a banknote deposit and withdrawal machine body 32 and a bracket 30. As shown in Figure 5, the bracket 30 is provided on the side surface 32a of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine body 32 and is located below the lock bracket 20 when the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 15 is housed in the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine housing 11. The bracket 30 also has a lock (not shown) for restricting the attachment or removal of banknote cassettes provided in the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 15.

[0056] For example, an administrator can remove the banknote cassette from the top of the banknote deposit / discharge machine 15 by completely pulling the banknote deposit / discharge machine 15 out of the banknote deposit / discharge machine housing 11 and unlocking a lock (not shown) on the bracket 30.

[0057] When storing the banknote deposit / dispensing machine 15, the administrator may insert the second key K2 into the keyhole of the second lock L2 of the lock bracket 20, unlock it, and then move (slide) the banknote deposit / dispensing machine 15 toward the storage direction SD.

[0058] In this case, the tag T of the second key K2, which is inserted into the keyhole of the second lock L2, could get caught between the lock bracket 20 and the bracket 30 of the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 15, and the load in the storage direction SD could cause the second key K2 to be damaged.

[0059] Figures 6A and 6B are schematic diagrams showing the positional relationship between the bracket 30 of the banknote deposit / discharge machine 15, the lock bracket 20 of the banknote deposit / discharge machine housing 11, and the second key K2 to which the tag T is attached when the banknote deposit / discharge machine 15 according to the comparative example is stored.

[0060] When the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 15 is stored with the second key K2 inserted into the keyhole of the second lock L2 of the lock bracket 20, the tag T may get caught between the lock bracket 20 and the bracket 30, as shown in Figure 6A.

[0061] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6B, when the banknote deposit / dispensing machine 15 is stored in the storage direction SD, the tag T may come into contact with the upper end E of the bracket 30 on the storage direction SD side. Here, when the banknote deposit / dispensing machine 15 is stored further in the storage direction SD, the tag T that has come into contact with the upper end E of the bracket 30 rotates from the position of the tag T shown by the solid line in Figure 6 toward the rotation direction KR1, with the upper end E acting as the point of force application.

[0062] Then, the tag T, which has rotated in the rotational direction KR1, comes into contact with the lower end F below the keyhole on the lock bracket 20 at the position of tag T shown by the dashed line in Figure 6B. With tag T now in contact with the lower end F of the lock bracket 20 in this way, when the banknote deposit / discharge machine 15 is further stored in the storage direction SD, the upper end E of the bracket 30 becomes the point of force application and the lower end F of the lock bracket 20 becomes the fulcrum, applying a load in the rotational direction KR2 to the second key K2. As a result, there was a risk that the second key K2 would deform from the position of the second key K2 shown by the solid line in Figure 6B to the position of the second key K2 shown by the dashed line.

[0063] Therefore, the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 according to this embodiment is characterized by having a shape that reduces the possibility of the tag T getting caught when the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 is stored, and by preventing damage to the second key K2 by this shape. Next, with reference to Figures 7 to 9B, the shapes of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 according to this embodiment that prevent the tag T from getting caught will be described in order.

[0064] <<2. Example of configuration of the banknote deposit / dispensing machine 10 according to this embodiment>> Figure 7 is a perspective view of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 according to this embodiment when it is housed. The banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 according to this embodiment differs from the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 15 according to the comparative example in that an ingenious design has been made to the shape of the bracket 40 provided on the side surface 42A of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine body 42. That is, the bracket 40 provided in the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 according to this embodiment has a different shape from the bracket 30 provided in the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 15 according to the comparative example. Note that the bracket 40 provided in the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 is an example of a second bracket.

[0065] The bracket 40 according to this embodiment is characterized in that the upper end portion 45 on the SD side in the storage direction of the banknote deposit / discharge machine 10 is inclined relative to the side surface 42A of the banknote deposit / discharge machine body 42. The inclined shape of the bracket 40 will be described in detail with reference to Figures 8A to 8C, which are views taken by arrows A, B, and C shown in Figure 7. Note that the banknote deposit / discharge machine body 42 is an example of a unit.

[0066] Figure 8A is a view taken from arrow A as shown in Figure 7. Figure 8B is a view taken from arrow B as shown in Figure 7. Figure 8C is a view taken from arrow C as shown in Figure 7.

[0067] First, the side of the bracket 40 on the SD side in the banknote deposit / discharge machine 10 storage direction may be a first inclined surface 47 that is inclined with respect to the side surface 42A of the banknote deposit / discharge machine body 42. For example, as shown in Figure 8B, the first inclined surface 47 may be formed such that one end 47A on the banknote deposit / discharge machine body 42 side is located on the side of the banknote deposit / discharge machine 10 storage direction than the opposite end 47B on the banknote deposit / discharge machine body 42 side.

[0068] Furthermore, the upper surface of the bracket 40 may be a second inclined surface 48 that is inclined with respect to the side surface 42A of the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine body 42. For example, the second inclined surface 48 may be formed such that one end 48A on the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine body 42 side is located above the opposite end 48B on the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine body 42 side.

[0069] It is desirable that the first slope 47 and the second slope 48 have a gentle incline from the banknote deposit / dispensing machine body 42 towards the side surface 40A of the bracket 40, but the example is not limited to this.

[0070] Furthermore, the shapes of the first slope 47 and the second slope 48 are not limited to those shown in Figures 8A to 8C. While Figures 8A to 8C show examples where the first slope 47 and the second slope 48 are planar slopes, the first slope 47 and the second slope 48 may also be, for example, curved slopes.

[0071] Figures 9A and 9B are schematic diagrams showing the positional relationship between the bracket 40 of the banknote deposit / discharge machine 10, the lock bracket 20 of the banknote deposit / discharge machine housing 11, and the second key K2 to which the tag T is attached, when the banknote deposit / discharge machine 10 according to this embodiment is housed.

[0072] The formation of the first slope 47 and the second slope 48 on the bracket 40, as described above, makes it possible to prevent the tag T from getting caught between the lock bracket 20 and the bracket 40.

[0073] When storing the banknote deposit / dispensing machine 10, first, with the tag T attached to the second key K2 inserted into the keyhole of the second lock L2 positioned on the SD side of the storage direction relative to the bracket 40, the banknote deposit / dispensing machine 10 is stored facing the SD direction.

[0074] When the banknote deposit / dispensing machine 10 is stored in the storage direction SD, the tag T that has come into contact with the bracket 40 rotates from the position of the bracket 40 shown by the solid line in Figure 9A to the position of the bracket 40 shown by the dashed line, and slides along the slope of the first inclined surface 47. As the tag T slides along the slope of the first inclined surface 47 in this way, it moves in the direction S of the side surface 40A of the bracket 40. As a result, the tag T is less likely to get caught between the lock bracket 20 and the bracket 40, and damage to the second key K2 is less likely to occur.

[0075] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 9B, when the banknote deposit / discharge machine 10 is further stored in the storage direction SD, the tag T comes into contact with the second inclined surface 48 of the bracket 40. Then, the tag T slides along the second inclined surface 48, which reduces the possibility of it getting caught in the bracket 40. As a result, the possibility of the tag T getting caught between the lock bracket 20 and the bracket 40 before the banknote deposit / discharge machine 10 is fully stored in the banknote deposit / discharge machine housing 11 is further reduced, making it possible to prevent damage (deformation) to the second key K2.

[0076] <<3. Supplement>> Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the attached drawings, the present invention is not limited to these examples. It is clear to any person with ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs that various modifications or alterations can be conceived within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims, and these are also understood to fall within the technical scope of the present invention.

[0077] For example, although an example has been described in which a unit storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention is provided in a cash processing device 1, the unit storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention may be provided in any device that is equipped with a detachable unit.

[0078] Furthermore, the bracket 40 may have a curved shape in which the upper end 45 on the side facing the banknote deposit / discharge machine 10 is stored is convex upward. This reduces the possibility of the tag T getting caught between the lock bracket 20 and the bracket 40 when the banknote deposit / discharge machine 10 is stored in the banknote deposit / discharge machine housing 11, as the tag T slides along the curved shape of the bracket 40.

[0079] Furthermore, although an example has been described in which both the first inclined surface 47 and the second inclined surface 48 are formed on the bracket 40 according to this embodiment, the bracket 40 according to this embodiment may have only one of the first inclined surface 47 or the second inclined surface 48 formed on it.

[0080] Furthermore, while Figures 8A to 8C illustrate an example in which the bracket 40 according to this embodiment has a side surface 40A parallel to the side surface 42A of the banknote deposit / discharge machine body 42, the side surface 40A of the bracket 40 does not have to be parallel to the side surface 42A of the banknote deposit / discharge machine body 42. Also, the bracket 40 does not necessarily have to have a side surface 40A; for example, the first inclined surface 47 may be formed to extend to the side of the banknote deposit / discharge machine 10 on the withdrawal side.

[0081] Furthermore, the bracket 40 and the banknote deposit / discharge machine body 42 according to this embodiment may be integrally formed, or the bracket 40 may be attached to the banknote deposit / discharge machine body 42.

[0082] Furthermore, the inclined portion may be made of a separate component from the other parts of the bracket 40. Alternatively, the inclined portion may be integrally formed with the other parts of the bracket 40. [Explanation of Symbols]
