Description

Bill Stopper of Financial Automation

[0001] The present invention relates to a bill stopper for a financial automation device, and more specifically, to a bill stopper for a financial automation device capable of improving the stack quality of multi-denomination media of different lengths.

[0002] A withdrawal machine among financial automation devices that withdraws media by returning it in bundle units includes a temporary stacking unit in which media is stacked, a throat unit that returns the stacked bundle of media in the withdrawal direction, and a recovery unit that recovers a retract right if the customer does not receive the withdrawn media.

[0003] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the internal configuration of a financial automation device in which the conventional one-way stack and throat sections are located at separate positions.

[0004] A conventional financial automation device comprises an upper conveying unit (10) equipped with an upper belt (11) for conveying a medium, a first lower conveying unit (20) equipped with a first lower belt (21) and provided on both sides based on a gate (40) located in the middle section below the upper conveying unit, a second lower conveying unit (30) equipped with a second lower belt (31), a one-way stacking unit (60) provided on the lower side of the first lower conveying unit (20), and a throat unit (70) formed between the upper belt (11) of the upper conveying unit (10) and the second lower belt (31) of the second lower conveying unit (30).

[0005] The first lower conveyor unit (20) is provided to be rotatable in the up and down direction around a hinge (22) on one side, and the medium being conveyed by passing through the withdrawal normal conveyor path (P1) while the first lower conveyor unit (20) is rotated downward around the hinge (22) is stacked toward the one-way stack unit (60) by the stack unit (61) provided on the upper side of one side of the one-way stack unit (60), and the leading end of the stacked medium is struck on one side of the bill stopper (50) provided in a fixed state inside the one-way stack unit (60) and then sequentially stacked on the first lower belt (21) of the first lower conveyor unit (20). When the stacking of the media is completed, the first lower conveyor (20) is rotated upward around the hinge (22), and the stacked bundle of media is clamped between the lower part of the upper belt (11), the upper part of the first lower belt (21), and the upper part of the second lower belt (31), and the upper belt (11), the first lower belt (21), and the second lower belt (31) are driven to rotate in the withdrawal direction, and the bundle of media passes through the throat (70) and is conveyed along the withdrawal path (P3) to be withdrawn.

[0006] At this time, the gate (40) is switched so that the medium is returned along the withdrawal path (P3), and the shutter (90) provided on the front of the financial automation machine is opened to withdraw the multi-use medium to the customer. If the withdrawn medium is not received by the customer, the retract ticket is returned in the opposite direction of the withdrawal direction through the withdrawal path (P3), and at this time, the gate (40) is switched so that the recovered medium is returned along the retract path (P4).

[0007] Meanwhile, a recovery unit (80) is provided on the lower side of the above-mentioned stacking unit (60) for recovering and storing retract rights and withdrawal rejection rights. Based on the partition member (81), the recovery unit (80) has a retract right storage unit (80a) formed on one side for storing retract rights recovered along the retract path (P4), and a withdrawal rejection right storage unit (80b) formed on the other side for storing withdrawal rejection rights that are returned along the withdrawal rejection right return path (P2) and stacked by the stacking unit (82).

[0008] As described above, the conventional financial automation device has a structure in which the bill stopper (50), which is provided for stacking media stacked in the one-time stack section (60), is fixed, so the path in which the media is stacked in the one-time stack section (60) and the throat path (P3) in which the bundle of media stacked in the one-time stack section (60) is withdrawn are separated, so the movement path of the media for stacking and withdrawal becomes longer, which increases the cost and the possibility of return failure.

[0009] Meanwhile, in order to integrate the path where the medium is stacked in the temporary stack section (60) and the path where the stacked medium is withdrawn, additional space must be secured to hide the bill stopper (50) in order to avoid interference between the medium and the bill stopper (50) when the medium stacked in the temporary stack section (60) moves to the withdrawal path, and a separate actuator must be provided for the hidden movement of the bill stopper (50), so the volume of the device increases and the manufacturing cost rises.

[0010] Prior art related to a financial automation device equipped with a single-axis stack section and a throat section is disclosed in Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1077317.

[0011] The present invention was devised to solve the aforementioned problems, and aims to provide a bill stopper for a financial automation device that maintains a closed state when stacking media to guide the alignment of the stacked media, and can rotate without a separate driving unit when withdrawing or retracting bundled media, thereby allowing bundled media to be withdrawn or retracted without blockage.

[0012] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a bill stopper for a financial automation device that can improve the stacking performance of multi-denomination media by making the position where the media is struck and stacked uniform according to the size of the media when stacking multi-denomination media.

[0013] A bill stopper of the financial automation device of the present invention for implementing the purpose described above is provided in a temporary stack portion where a medium to be withdrawn is stacked and stored, and is a bill stopper for blocking the leading edge of a medium entering the temporary stack portion to align the medium in the stack, and is characterized by being provided to be rotatable in both directions around a bill stopper hinge formed at the top.

[0014] The bill stopper is located at the boundary between the first-stage stack section and the throat section through which the bundle medium stacked in the first-stage stack section is conveyed in the withdrawal direction, and when the bundle medium is conveyed from the first-stage stack section toward the throat section or from the throat section toward the first-stage stack section, the bill stopper rotates around the bill stopper hinge in the direction of the pushing force of the conveyed bundle medium so that the bundle medium is conveyed through the first-stage stack section and the throat section without obstruction.

[0015] The above-mentioned bill stopper may include a body portion configured to strike the leading edge of a medium entering the above-mentioned stack portion on one side, the bill stopper hinge formed at the top of the body portion, and a weight provided in the body portion.

[0016] The above-described bill stopper may include a first bill stopper portion configured to strike the leading edge of a medium entering the one-way stack portion on one side, a bill stopper hinge formed at the top of the first bill stopper portion, and a second bill stopper portion in the shape of a fan that shares the first bill stopper portion and the bill stopper hinge, is rotatable in both directions, and has both sides protruding from both sides of the first bill stopper portion.

[0017] The second bill stopper part is provided to be rotatable in both directions inside the first bill stopper part, and the first bill stopper part is provided with a guide shaft that penetrates the second bill stopper part, and the second bill stopper part has an arc-shaped guide hole formed to accommodate the guide shaft so as to limit the range of rotation of the second bill stopper part.

[0018] Among the media entering the above-mentioned stack portion, a media with a relatively short length may fall to the bottom surface of the above-mentioned stack portion and be stacked after being struck on one side of the above-mentioned second bill stopper portion, and among the media entering the above-mentioned stack portion, a media with a relatively long length may fall to the bottom surface of the above-mentioned stack portion and be stacked after being struck on one side of the above-mentioned second bill stopper portion and then being additionally struck on one side of the above-mentioned first bill stopper while the above-mentioned second bill stopper portion rotates around the bill stopper hinge.

[0019] When stacking a medium of relatively short length, the second bill stopper part is rotated at a predetermined angle around the bill stopper hinge by the force exerted by the medium entering the temporary stack part, and then rotated back to its original position by its own weight; when stacking a medium of relatively long length, the second bill stopper part and the first bill stopper part are rotated at a predetermined angle around the bill stopper hinge by the force exerted by the medium entering the temporary stack part, and then rotated back to their original position by their own weight.

[0020] A pair of rollers that grip both sides of the medium are provided on the medium entry side of the above-mentioned stacking section, and the bill stopper can be rotated by the force exerted by the medium until the rear end of the medium entering the above-mentioned stacking section passes through the pair of rollers.

[0021] According to the bill stopper of the financial automation device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, by configuring the bill stopper as a self-weight type, it is rotated by the pushing force of the bundle medium when withdrawing or retracting the bundle medium, and since a separate driving means for rotating the bill stopper is unnecessary, the structure of the bill stopper can be simplified and manufacturing costs can be reduced.

[0022] According to the bill stopper of the financial automation device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, by configuring the bill stopper to include a first bill stopper part for stacking long media and a second bill stopper part for stacking short media, the position where media are struck and stacked can be made uniform according to the size of the media, thereby improving the rear alignment performance of the stacked media even when stacking multi-denomination media.
