Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional automatic transaction devices require complex and time-consuming installation processes, especially in slim-type devices where backmost anchor bolt holes are inaccessible, leading to potential mistakes during remounting of internal components.

Innovation Solution

The automatic transaction device features a design with anchor bolt holes positioned in the first gap between the device casing and internal unit, accessible through the device opening, allowing for fixing without removing the safe unit or internal components, using a moving means to create a second gap for work-access and prevent interference with internal components.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If anchor bolt holes are positioned at backmost positions on the device base plate, then the device can be securely fixed to the ground, but the holes become inaccessible by hand when the safe unit and internal components are present inside the device

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice fixing securityVSAvoidaccessibility of anchor bolt holes
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent repositions the anchor bolt holes from the backmost position to the side of the device opening, changing their spatial location to a dimension that is accessible through the device opening. This allows workers to access the holes by hand without needing to enter the device interior, resolving the contradiction between secure fixing and ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If the safe unit and internal components are removed to access backmost anchor bolt holes, then the device can be fixed securely, but the installation process becomes time-consuming and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice fixing securityVSAvoidinstallation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The anchor bolt holes are pre-positioned at the side of the device opening, allowing workers to perform the fixing operation before the safe unit and internal components are fully installed. This preliminary action eliminates the need to remove components later, significantly reducing installation time and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
