Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention provides a wiring guide for guiding wiring connecting a main body of a money processing device and a safe that is inserted into and taken out from the main body, for example. Regarding equipment.

(Prior Art) As this type of wiring guide device, the one shown in FIG. 8 is conventionally known.

In other words, 1..., 2... in the figure are a large number of metal fittings,
These metal fittings 1..., 2... are each rotatably connected via shafts 3..., and the wiring 4 is inserted thereinto for protection and guidance.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the past, metal fittings 1... and 2...
Because a large number of ... were required, the number of parts was large, and both material and assembly costs were high, leading to high costs. There is also the problem that it is large and requires a large space.

The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a wiring guide device that is inexpensive and can be miniaturized.

[Structure of the Invention (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a method for protecting wiring connecting a housing and a unit provided in the housing so as to be freely accessible. The apparatus is characterized in that it includes a single elastic body suspended between the housing and the unit to hold and guide the wiring.

(Function) The number of parts can be reduced by holding and guiding the wiring using the above-mentioned elastic body.

(Example) The present invention will be described below with reference to an example shown in FIGS. 1 to 7.

FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 show a banknote processing apparatus, and numeral 11 in the figures is the main body of the apparatus as a casing.

A unit 12 for storing banknotes is provided within the main body 11 of the apparatus so as to be movable in the direction of arrow A. The main body 11 and the unit 12 are connected via wiring 13.

Furthermore, metal fittings 14.15 are attached to the main body 11 and the unit 12, respectively, and both ends of the strip-shaped elastic body 16 are supported by these metal fittings 14.15. This elastic body 16 is connected to the wiring 13 by a wire bundle tool 17.
are tied together.

As shown in FIG. 1, the metal fittings 14 and 15 are
Even if the elastic body 16 is deformed due to the movement of the unit 12, it rotates accordingly and does not apply bending force to the elastic body 16 or the wiring 13. There is.

As shown in FIG. 3, the elastic body 16 is made of a material that bends sufficiently in the vertical direction, but hardly bends in the lateral direction, and the metal fittings 14 and 15, as shown in FIG. It is designed not to rotate in any direction other than the direction of arrow B.

As a result, the elastic body 16 and the wiring 13 supported by the elastic body 16 do not move toward the main body 11 or the unit 12, and the wiring 13 is prevented from coming into contact with the main body 11 or the unit 12 and being damaged. There is.

Further, the width of the elastic body 16 is formed to be wider than the width of the wiring 13, so that even if the wiring 13 moves toward the main body 11 or the unit 12, only the elastic body contacts the main body 11 or the unit 12 and the wiring 13 will not be damaged.

When the unit 12 is pushed into the main body 11 from the state shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the elastic body 16 is sufficiently bent as shown in FIG.
3 is curved in accordance with the curve of the elastic body 16. At this time, the metal fittings 14 and 15 are rotated to the position shown in the figure in accordance with the curvature of the elastic body 16.

As described above, the wiring 1 is connected by the strip-shaped elastic body 16.
In order to protect and guide 3, many metal fittings 1 and 3 are used as in the past.
. . , 2 . . . and shaft 3 .

Note that FIG. 5 shows a case where the wiring 13 is not guided by the elastic body 16. That is, the wiring 13 that is not guided moves to the unit 12 side and the main body 11 side. For example, the wiring 13 moves to the unit 12 side and the unit 1
In some cases, the object may enter the movement area A of No. 2. A portion of the wiring 13 within the movement area A of the unit 12 comes into contact with the unit 12 as the unit 12 moves. If you continue to move the unit 12 in this state, the wiring 1
3 is guided deep into the main body 11 by the unit 12, and if the gap S between the rearmost part of the unit 12 and the rearmost part of the main body 11 is narrow, there is a risk that the wiring 13 will be caught in this gap S and break.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, since the wiring is held and guided by the elastic body, the number of parts is small;
This has the effect of reducing material costs and assembly costs, lowering costs, and making it possible to save space.
