Abstract

The invention comprises a unit part 3 that is attachable/detachable to/from a frame 100 ; and an engagement device that enables the unit part 3 to be attachable/detachable to/from the frame 100 and comprises; an engagement pin 90 diposed at one of the frame 100 and the unit part 3 ; and an engagement member 51 disposed at the other of the frame and the unit part, having a recess engaged with the engagement pin 90 . The engagement member 51 is pivotably supported and, when the recess 54 is pivoted to separate from the engagement pin 90 , moves the unit part 3 in a direction of separating from the frame 100 by the pivoting.

Claims (15)

1 . An attaching/detaching structure of an electronic device comprising:

a unit part that is attachable/detachable to/from a frame; and

an engagement device that enables the unit part to be attachable/detatchable to/from the frame and comprises an engagement pin disposed at one of the frame and the unit part, and an engagement member disposed at the other of the frame and the unit part, having a recess engaged with the engagement pin,

wherein the engagement member is pivotably supported and, when the recess is pivoted to separate from the engagement pin, moves the unit part in a direction of separating from the frame by the pivoting.

2 . The attaching/detaching structure according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a biasing member that biases the recess of the engagement member in a direction of engaging with the engaging pin;

an inclined portion that is formed at the engagement member and guides the engagement pin into the recess when the unit part is mounted onto the frame; and

a contact portion that is formed to continue on the recess of the engagement member and contacts the engagement pin, as it is, to move the unit part in a separating direction, after the engagement between the engagement pin and the recess is released due to the pivoting of the engagement member.

3 . The attaching/detaching structure according to claim 1 , wherein the engagement device comprises an eccentric cam that contacts the engagement member and a driving motor that rotates the eccentric cam.

4 . The attaching/detaching structure according to claim 1 , wherein the unit part receives a paper sheet processing unit in a longitudinal direction so that an insertion slot for inserting a paper sheet is extended in a vertical direction, the paper sheet processing unit accommodating the paper sheet, and

wherein the engagement member is provided in the same direction as the paper sheet processing unit.

5 . The attaching/detaching structure according to claim 1 , wherein the unit part includes a connector and the frame includes a connection member to which the connector of the unit part is connected, and

wherein as the unit part is moved in a direction of separating from the frame, the connection between the connector and the connection member is released.

6 . The attaching/detaching structure according to claim 5 , wherein the frame includes a power supply that supplies power to the unit part and power supply is carried out through the connector.

7 . The attaching/detaching structure according to claim 6 , wherein the power supply includes a charging jack into which a charging terminal of an external device is inserted, and a power supply unit that supplies the power to the external device through the charging jack.
