[0002] In the financial sector, especially in financial institutions like banks, over-the-counter item delivery mechanisms are used to facilitate the exchange of items between tellers and customers. Currently, the mainstream design for over-the-counter item delivery mechanisms generally uses a notch at the junction of the countertop and the glass panel. However, this design presents several practical issues:

[0003] (1) When the lighting conditions at the counter are poor, the light in the slot area is dim, making it difficult for tellers and customers to clearly observe the items in the slot, affecting the efficiency and accuracy of exchanges.

[0004] (2) This design is not ideal in physically separating the counter side from the customer side, and there are certain safety risks.

[0005] (3) Since the slot edge is designed to be relatively high, the items in the slot are often difficult to see intuitively, increasing the risk of items being missed.

[0006] In summary, the design of existing counter item delivery mechanisms has obvious deficiencies in light adaptability, segmentation effect, and item visibility, and urgently needs to be improved to optimize user experience and enhance safety. Utility Model Content

[0048] Example 1

[0049] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, this embodiment provides a counter item delivery structure for realizing the exchange of items on both sides of the partition surface. Figure 1 and Figure 4 , which mainly includes a rotating shaft 1 that can rotate along the axis and a transfer container 2 connected to the rotating shaft, wherein the axis of the rotating shaft 1 is located on the dividing surface, and the cross section of the transfer container 2 is fan-shaped or elliptical fan-shaped. By adopting this arrangement, when the rotating shaft 1 rotates to Figure 1 The first position shown or Figure 2In the second position shown, the rotating shaft 1, the transfer container 2, and the solid body on the dividing surface isolate the two sides of the dividing surface. Unlike traditional arc-shaped groove designs, the internal surfaces of the transfer container 2 in this embodiment are all flat rather than curved, reducing the number of invisible areas and making observation easier.

[0050] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 1 is driven by a motor 5 connected thereto, and can also be rotated by mechanical transmission. Preferably, the motor 5 can be a commercially available stepper motor. The material of the transfer container 2 can be an existing lightweight and high-strength material.

[0051] Taking into account the problem that the transfer container 2 is prone to displacement when its mass is large, preferably, the structure of this embodiment can also include a guide groove 3, which is arranged on one side or two opposite sides of the transfer container 2. The guide groove 3 is fixed in position and is engaged with the preset block 4 on the side of the transfer container 2.

[0052] Taking into account that the opening of the transfer container 2 is relatively large, when the rotating shaft 1 rotates to the middle, it is possible that the items on the other side may be touched through the gap, and it is inconvenient to place the items inside the transfer container 2. In this embodiment, two partition plates 6 can also be provided on the A surface parallel to the transfer container 2. The partition plate 6 is provided in the transfer container 2 and is connected to the transfer container 2, dividing its internal space into three sub-spaces. The bottom sub-space is deeper and suitable for placing documents such as contracts. The middle sub-space has a large capacity and is suitable for placing money. The top sub-space is smaller and suitable for placing small items such as U-shields and bank cards. By adopting the partition plate 6, the possibility of touching the items on the other side through the gap is reduced to a certain extent, and it is convenient to place items. Furthermore, a movable stopper 14 can be provided on the partition surface on one side or on both opposite sides of the transfer container 2. When the movable stopper 4 moves to the position as shown in the figure, the movable stopper 14 can be provided on the partition surface on one side or on both opposite sides of the transfer container 2. Figure 1 The first position shown or Figure 2 When the second position is shown, the transfer container 2 is limited, further improving safety. The driving mechanism of the movable stopper 4 can be implemented by an existing mechanism, such as a commercially available electric cylinder, air cylinder, gear transmission, etc.

[0053] Taking into account the problem that items may be left behind in the transfer container 2 when they are delivered, in this embodiment, infrared transmitters 7 and infrared receivers 8 are respectively provided on the upper and lower inner walls of the B side opposite to the A side. By detecting the change in the infrared intensity received by the receiver, it is possible to detect whether there are items in the transfer container 2. When there are items, a voice prompt can be played through an external speaker to indicate that the item is missing by sound and / or light. Preferably, the infrared transmitter 7 and the infrared receiver 8 are each covered with a piece of high-strength plastic or glass that can transmit infrared rays to achieve protection. Preferably, a plurality of infrared transmitters 7 and infrared receivers 8 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the B side to form a detection array to effectively detect whether there are items. The infrared transmitter 7 and the infrared receiver 8 can be implemented using commercially available products.

[0054] Considering that there may be items such as loudspeakers above the item delivery structure that block direct light and make it difficult to see the items inside the structure, in this embodiment, see Figure 3 , the partition plate 6 is divided into two areas, the first area is used for lighting, and the second area is used for infrared transmission. The partition plate 9 mainly includes a frame 9, a double-layer light guide plate 10 installed on the frame 9 of the first area, and a transmission plate 12 installed on the frame 9 of the second area. A plurality of light-emitting elements 11 are arranged on the frame 9 between the double-layer light guide plates 10. In this embodiment, commercially available LED light strips are used for easy installation and replacement. Preferably, the double-layer light guide plate 10 is made of acrylic material with good absorption capacity for medium and long-wave infrared light. The infrared emitter 7 and the infrared receiver 8 operate in the medium and long-wave bands, and the error caused by light scattering is reduced to improve the accuracy of detecting whether there are objects. The transmission plate 12 is made of a commercially available infrared-transparent plate. The specific width of the transmission plate 12 should be selected according to actual conditions to ensure that the light path between the infrared emitter 7 and the infrared receiver 8 is unobstructed. Preferably, a baffle 13 is also provided between the frames 9 of the first area and the second area to prevent dust from entering the double-layer light guide plate 10.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] Based on Example 1, this embodiment provides a bank counter, including a panel 15 located on the partition surface and a table top 16 located below the panel 15. The table top 16 is provided with a groove connecting the two sides of the partition surface. The edges of the groove are smoothed, and the counter item delivery structure of Example 1 is provided in the groove.

[0057] Considering the risk of hands being caught outside the rotating shaft 1, this embodiment also provides ultrasonic sensors 17 connected to the table 16 on both sides of the slot. These sensors detect whether an object, such as a hand, is within the movement area by measuring the distance between the probe and the object. If an object is detected, the rotating shaft 1 cannot rotate, ensuring safety. Ultrasonic sensors 17 can be commercially available.

[0058] The working principle of this embodiment is that the object to be transferred is placed in the container on the side where the transfer container 2 is located. When the ultrasonic sensor 17 does not detect the object, the movable block 4 moves from Figure 4 The transfer container 2 is released from the position, and the motor 5 drives the shaft 1 to rotate to the other side. After the movable stopper 4 is in place, Figure 4 position, restore the limit of the transfer container 2, and realize the delivery of the item.

[0059] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and such modifications or substitutions are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the scope of protection of the claims.
