banknote receiver

Abstract

A banknote receiver includes a banknote inlet, a main body, a circuit device, and a banknote box. The banknote inlet is fixed to the outside of an automated transaction device and the front of the main body. The circuit device is located inside the main body and includes a microprocessor, a memory module, and a software update module. A USB-type first connector and a side indicator area are provided on the side of the main body. The first connector is connected to the microprocessor. When the operator updates the software data of the banknote receiver from inside the automated transaction device, a handheld storage device is connected to the first connector on the side of the main body, allowing the software update module and the microprocessor to perform software reading and updating. The side indicator area illuminates to display the corresponding indicator light of the software update process status, allowing the operator to more conveniently observe and understand the software update process status on-site, thereby saving manpower and time.

Claims

1. A banknote receiver, comprising a banknote inlet, a main body, a circuit device, and a banknote box, wherein the banknote inlet is assembled at the front of the main body, the circuit device is disposed within the main body, a banknote inlet channel extending from front to back is provided inside the banknote inlet and the main body, and a banknote receiving channel is connected downwards at the rear end of the banknote inlet channel; the banknote inlet channel and the banknote receiving channel are provided with a transmission mechanism for moving banknotes, and banknote verification units are provided above and below the banknote inlet channel for identifying the authenticity of banknotes; the banknote box is assembled to the rear of the main body after the banknote receiving channel, and a banknote pushing mechanism is provided inside the main body in front of the banknote receiving channel to push banknotes backwards into the banknote box; the circuit device is provided with a microprocessor, the microprocessor being respectively connected to a transmission control module, a banknote verification module, a banknote pushing control module, a memory module, and a software update module, correspondingly connected to the transmission mechanism, the banknote verification unit, and the banknote pushing mechanism, characterized in that: The main body has a USB-type first connector and a side indicator area on its side. The first connector is connected to the microprocessor, and the side indicator area has a first indicator light connected to the microprocessor. The operator connects a storage device containing updated software data to the first connector, allowing the updated software data to enter the microprocessor and the software update module for software reading and updating. The updated software data is then stored in the memory module, and the first indicator light in the side indicator area illuminates to display the corresponding light signal indicating the status of the software update process.

2. The banknote receiver as described in claim 1, wherein the first connector and the side indicator area are located on the same side of the body.

3. The banknote receiver as described in claim 1, wherein the storage device is a USB flash drive, and the USB flash drive is provided with a USB-type second connector that mates with the first connector.

4. The banknote receiver as described in claim 1, wherein a front indicator area is provided in front of the banknote input slot, the front indicator area is provided with a second indicator light connected to the microprocessor, and the second indicator light can illuminate to display the corresponding indicator light of the software update process status.
