Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an automatic passbook transmission device. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing automation of banking services, passbook re-registration devices have become a common service device at bank branches, enabling automatic re-registration of customer passbook information. However, existing re-registration devices are mostly closed-type, supporting only manual insertion and removal of passbooks and lacking the ability to automatically interface with other modules (such as page turning and image capture). Users must complete the re-registration, exit from the corresponding port, and then proceed to another module through another port. This reduces efficiency and is cumbersome, even hindering the smooth operation of some groups, such as the elderly.

[0003] However, using traditional transmission devices to connect the supplementary boarding equipment with other modules will lead to the following problems: Traditional conveying devices often use a clamping mechanism to drive the media in a push-pull manner, which makes it easy to apply external force before the passbook is completely disengaged from the supplementary boarding machine's meshing structure. In addition, the entrances and exits of the supplementary boarding equipment are very sensitive, and any resistance will cause an error, resulting in paper jams, damage, or equipment failure, affecting normal business processing.

[0004] CN216376700U discloses a passbook transport mechanism, comprising a housing, a drive motor, a transmission shaft, and an adjustment assembly. Driven by the drive motor, the transmission shaft rotates, thereby moving the passbook and facilitating the passage of passbooks of varying thicknesses. However, the transmission wheels employed in this transport mechanism are conventional circular wheels. When docking with a supplementary boarding machine, the transmission wheels may physically contact the passbook before it has fully detached from the supplementary boarding machine, causing resistance at the supplementary boarding machine exit and resulting in malfunction. Therefore, this type of transport mechanism is unsuitable for automatic docking with a supplementary boarding machine. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In light of this, the present invention aims to provide an automatic passbook transport device that accurately senses the passbook's status and rapidly takes over transport after it has completely exited the paper exit path of the supplementary boarding machine, achieving seamless connectivity between supplementary boarding and other modules. The present invention achieves this objective using the following technical solutions.

[0006] The present invention provides a passbook automatic transmission device, comprising a transmission channel, a transmission wheel unit and a passbook detection unit; wherein, The transmission channel is set as a transmission channel for passbooks; The transmission wheel unit is provided with a transmission wheel, and the transmission wheel has a flat surface and an arc surface. In a non-working state, the flat surface of the transmission wheel faces the transmission channel and is placed on the periphery of the transmission channel; in a working state, the arc surface of the transmission wheel enters the transmission channel and contacts the surface of the passbook; The passbook detection unit is configured to detect whether the passbook is detached from the transmission wheel.

[0007] The transmission device of the present invention is installed at the exit of an existing passbook check-in machine, seamlessly interfacing with the check-in machine. Both the transmission device and the check-in machine are secured to a common platform, ensuring that the installation of the check-in machine and the transmission device do not interfere with each other. The automatic transmission device of the present invention comprises a transmission channel, a transmission wheel unit, and a passbook detection unit. The transmission channel serves as the path for passbook transmission. The transmission wheel unit is equipped with a transmission wheel having a flat surface and a curved surface. When not in operation (when not transferring a passbook), the flat surface faces the transmission channel and is located outside the transmission channel. This ensures that the transmission wheel and the passbook are not in physical contact and do not exert any pulling or pushing force on the passbook until the passbook has fully disengaged from the check-in machine. When in operation, a built-in sensor within the check-in machine detects that the passbook has fully disengaged from the engagement wheel of the check-in machine and sends a signal / command to the control system. Upon receiving the command, the control system drives the transmission wheel to rotate, causing the curved surface of the transmission wheel to enter the transmission channel and contact the passbook, thereby transferring the passbook. The passbook detection unit is configured to detect whether the passbook has disengaged from the transmission wheel. When the passbook has disengaged from the passbook detection unit, it indicates that the passbook has disengaged from the transmission wheel. The automatic transmission device of the present invention can realize automatic connection and transmission between the boarding machine and other modules after the passbook is completely separated from the boarding machine, thereby preventing the pulling or pushing force from affecting the delicate components inside the boarding machine.

[0008] According to the automatic passbook transmission device of the present invention, preferably, the transmission channel includes a first channel and a second channel; the first channel and the second channel are arranged correspondingly; and a space for transmitting the passbook is formed between the first channel and the second channel.

[0009] According to the automatic passbook transmission device of the present invention, preferably, the transmission wheel includes a first transmission wheel and a second transmission wheel; the first transmission wheel is located above the transmission channel; and the second transmission wheel is located below the transmission channel.

[0010] In this invention, a first and second transfer wheel are positioned on the upper and lower sides of the transfer channel, respectively. As the first and second transfer wheels rotate, their curved surfaces enter the channel and contact both sides of the passbook to transfer the passbook. The first transfer wheel is designed to accommodate passbooks of varying lengths. If a passbook is too short and does not emerge from the transfer channel after disengaging the boarding system's power system, the second transfer wheel will be unable to contact the passbook, hindering transfer.

[0011] According to the automatic passbook transmission device of the present invention, preferably, the transmission wheel unit also includes a passive wheel, a passive shaft and a transmission structure; the passive wheel is sleeved on the passive shaft; the transmission mechanism drives the second transmission wheel and the passive shaft to rotate in the same direction; the passive shaft drives the first transmission wheel to rotate in the opposite direction through gear transmission.

[0012] In the present invention, the first transmission wheel and the second transmission wheel are respectively located at the upper and lower sides of the transmission channel, and the rotation directions of the two wheels are opposite to ensure that the passbooks are transmitted in the same direction.

[0013] According to the automatic passbook transmission device of the present invention, preferably, the transmission structure includes a driving motor, a belt and a pulley; the driving motor rotates, driving the second transmission wheel to rotate in the same direction through the belt and pulley, and the belt drives the driven shaft to rotate in the same direction; the driven shaft drives the first transmission wheel to rotate in the opposite direction through gear transmission.

[0014] In this invention, power transmission utilizes a hybrid drive system combining synchronous belts and gears. The main drive utilizes a synchronous belt made of polyurethane, a material known for its wear resistance and excellent tensile strength. The belt's teeth utilize a special arc-shaped design, increasing the meshing area with the pulley by 15%, ensuring both efficient transmission and ease of use.

[0015] The automatic passbook transmission device according to the present invention preferably further comprises a zero position detection unit configured to monitor the status of the transmission wheel in real time; the zero position detection unit is disposed at one side shaft end of the second transmission wheel.

[0016] In the present invention, in order to ensure that the transmission wheel can be accurately reset after the operation is completed, a zero position detection unit is also provided to monitor the rotation state of each transmission wheel in real time, especially to identify whether its plane is aligned with the channel, to ensure that the transmission wheel is automatically reset after each transmission is completed, so as to avoid affecting the next paper feed.

[0017] According to the automatic passbook transmission device of the present invention, preferably, the zero position detection unit includes a transmission wheel position detection sensor and a code disk; the code disk is arranged corresponding to the transmission wheel position detection sensor; the transmission wheel position detection sensor is provided with two sensing parts, both of which are U-shaped groove structures, and the code disk is provided with an arc-shaped protruding part; the protruding part cooperates with the U-shaped groove structure.

[0018] In the present invention, the zero-point detection unit primarily comprises a transmission wheel position detection sensor and a code disk, which are positioned in correspondence with each other. When the code disk's extended portion is not within the sensing portion's groove, meaning the sensing portion is unobstructed, the first and second transmission wheels are in their initial positions, with their flat surfaces facing the transmission channel. When the code disk's extended portion is within the sensing portion's groove, meaning the sensing portion is obstructed, either one or both of the two components indicate that the curved surfaces of the first and second transmission wheels have entered the channel, with their flat surfaces facing away from the channel, indicating that the passbook is in the transmission state. This allows for real-time monitoring of the transmission wheel status and, in conjunction with a microcontroller, allows for timely resetting of the transmission wheels.

[0019] The automatic passbook transmission device according to the present invention preferably further comprises an elastic component; the elastic component is arranged at both ends of the shaft corresponding to the transmission wheel.

[0020] In the present invention, an elastic component is also provided, which can automatically adapt to passbooks of different widths and thicknesses, and can compress the spring according to the thickness of the passbook to achieve the purpose of smooth transmission, avoiding excessive resistance of the transmission mechanism caused by excessive thickness.

[0021] According to the automatic passbook transmission device of the present invention, preferably, the transmission wheel is coated with EPDM rubber; and the Shore hardness of the coating material is 45 to 60 Shore hardness.

[0022] In the present invention, the transmission wheel preferably uses EPDM rubber as the rubber coating material. The hardness of the rubber coating material can be 45-60 Shore A, preferably 45-55 Shore A, and more preferably 47-53 Shore A. A hardness above 60 Shore A can result in insufficient driving force for the transmission wheel, while a hardness below 45 Shore A can cause excessive stickiness and damage the passbook surface. This further improves the stability of passbook transmission.

[0023] According to the automatic passbook transmission device of the present invention, preferably, the elastic component is a spring.

[0025] (2) The automatic passbook transmission device of the present invention can accurately sense the status of the passbook and quickly take over the transmission after the passbook is completely out of the paper outlet channel of the supplementary boarding machine, thereby realizing seamless connection between the supplementary boarding machine and other modules and avoiding mechanical interference such as pulling and pushing.

[0026] (3) The first transmission wheel and the second transmission wheel of the present invention can flexibly adapt to passbooks of different sizes and thicknesses and have good versatility.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the automatic passbook transmission device 100 includes a transmission channel 1, a transmission wheel unit 2, a zero position detection unit 3, a passbook detection unit 4 and an elastic component 5. Among them, the transmission channel 1 is the transmission channel of the passbook; the transmission wheel unit 2 is provided with a transmission wheel for transmitting the passbook; the zero position detection unit 3 is used to detect the state of the transmission wheel (the transmission state of the passbook); the passbook detection unit 4 is used to detect whether the passbook is detached from the transmission wheel; the elastic component 5 is used to adapt to passbooks of different thicknesses to reduce transmission resistance. The automatic passbook transmission device of the present invention is used to dock with the supplementary boarding machine 200, and can accurately and stably transmit the passbook to other processing modules after the passbook is completely detached from the supplementary boarding machine. Specifically, The transmission channel 1 includes a first channel 11 and a second channel 12 , and a space for transmitting the passbook is formed between the first channel 11 and the second channel 12 .

[0039] like Figure 2 、 4 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the transmission wheel unit 2 includes a first transmission wheel 21, a second transmission wheel 22, a driven wheel 23, a driven shaft 24, and a transmission structure 25. The first transmission wheel 21 is located above the transmission channel 1, the second transmission wheel 22 is located below the transmission channel 1, and the driven wheel 23 is located on one side of the first transmission wheel 21 near the transmission channel 1. The driven wheel 23 is sleeved on the driven shaft 24. The first transmission wheel 21 and the second transmission wheel 22 are both provided with flat surfaces and curved surfaces, forming a "D"-shaped structure. Figure 4 As shown, in the non-working state (when no passbook is initially being transported), the planes of the first transport wheel 21 and the second transport wheel 22 are both facing the transport channel 1 and are placed on the periphery of the transport channel 1. No structure in the transport path comes into contact with the passbook. Figure 5 In the working state (when transferring a passbook), the arcuate surfaces of the first transfer wheel 21 and the second transfer wheel 22 enter the transfer channel 1 and contact the surface of the passbook. The transmission structure 25 includes a drive motor 251, a belt 252, a pulley 253 and a gear 254.

[0040] The supplementary boarding machine 200 has a built-in sensor. When it detects that the passbook has completely disengaged from the supplementary boarding machine's meshing wheel, it sends a signal / command to the control system. Upon receiving the command, the control system drives the motor counterclockwise, driving the second transmission wheel 22 counterclockwise via belt 252 and pulley 253. At the same time, power is transmitted to the driven shaft 24 via belt 252, causing the driven shaft 24 to rotate in the same direction. The driven shaft 24 then drives the first transmission wheel 21 clockwise via gear transmission. The first and second transmission wheels 21 and 22 are respectively positioned on the upper and lower sides of the transmission channel 1. Their rotation directions are opposite to ensure that the passbook is transmitted in the same direction. As the first and second transmission wheels 21 and 22 rotate, their curved surfaces enter the channel and contact both sides of the passbook, thus achieving transmission. The driven wheel 23 is a bearing mounted on the driven shaft 24. The rotation of the driven shaft 24 does not affect the driven wheel 23. The first transmission wheel 21 is provided to adapt to the transmission requirements of different passbook lengths. When the passbook is too short and has not yet exposed to the boarding entrance channel when it is released from the boarding power, the second transmission wheel 22 cannot contact the passbook, thereby affecting the transmission.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first and second transmission wheels 21 and 22 are coated with EPDM rubber, which offers excellent wear resistance and moderate elasticity. The Shore hardness of the coating in this embodiment is controlled within the Shore hardness range of 50 ± 3. The wheel surfaces are specially treated, with a diamond-shaped grid pattern on the arc-shaped working surface. This surface treatment stabilizes the static friction coefficient between the wheel surface and the passbook at a constant level above 0.6. The R2 fillet transition between the flat and arc-shaped surfaces of the transmission wheels effectively prevents curling or wear on the passbook edges during transport.

[0042] like Figure 1 、 6 As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the zero position detection unit 3 includes a transmission wheel position detection sensor 31 and a code disk 32. The transmission wheel position detection sensor 31 is set at one side of the shaft end of the second transmission wheel 22, and is used to monitor the rotation status of the first transmission wheel 21 and the second transmission wheel 22 in real time. The transmission status of the passbook can be determined by the status of the transmission wheels. The code disk 32 is set corresponding to the transmission wheel position detection sensor 31. The transmission wheel position detection sensor 31 is provided with two sensing parts 311, both of which are U-shaped groove structures. The code disk 32 is provided with an arc-shaped extension part 321; as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, when the extended portion 321 of the code disk is not in the groove of the sensing portion, that is, the sensing portion is not blocked, it indicates that the first transmission wheel 21 and the second transmission wheel 22 are in the initial position, and their planes face the transmission channel 1 respectively, indicating that the passbook is not being transmitted; Figure 7 As shown, when the protruding portion 321 of the code disk is located in the groove of the sensing portion, that is, the sensing portion is blocked, whether one or both are blocked, it indicates that the arc surface of the first transmission wheel 21 and the second transmission wheel 22 extends into the channel, the plane is away from the channel, and the passbook is in the transmission state.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the passbook detection unit 4 is positioned above the first channel 11 and on the side of the passive wheel 23 closest to the first channel 11. It can function as a sensor for detecting whether a passbook has disengaged from the transmission wheels. When the passbook disengages from the passbook detection unit 4, it indicates that the passbook has disengaged from the transmission wheels. Simultaneously, the zero position detection unit 3, in conjunction with the microcontroller, automatically returns the planes of the first and second transmission wheels 21, 22 to their initial positions, achieving automatic reset and preventing interference with the next passbook feed.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the elastic component 5 is disposed at both ends of the shaft corresponding to the first transmission wheel 21 and the second transmission wheel 22, and can automatically adapt to passbooks of different widths and thicknesses. The spring is compressed according to the thickness of the passbook to achieve smooth transmission, avoiding excessive resistance of the transmission mechanism caused by excessive thickness. The elastic component 5 can be a spring.

[0045] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Any modification, improvement, or substitution that can be conceived by those skilled in the art without departing from the essential content of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the present invention.
