Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of banknote packaging machine design, and in particular to an all-in-one sorting and bundling machine that is convenient for clearing paper jams. Background Art

[0002] In social and economic life, especially in financial institutions, the processing of banknotes is increasingly relying on machines rather than manual processing. For example, sorting machines for classifying banknotes and bundling machines for bundling banknotes are becoming more and more widely used.

[0003] The applicant has applied for a sorting and bundling machine in other patents, that is, the sorting unit and the bundling unit are combined for operation, and the binding belt reel of the binding belt is set at the bottom of the sorting machine. After the binding belt head is pulled out of the sorting unit, it bypasses the joint of the two units and enters the binding unit to perform the binding operation on the placed banknotes. However, where the paper supply channel passes through the joint of the sorting unit and the bundling unit, many obstacles (such as gaps) will be formed. Therefore, when the binding belt enters the binding belt slot on the bundling unit from the bottom of the sorting unit, it is easy to cause a paper jam. When the fault occurs, in the prior art, it is often necessary to disassemble the entire sorting and bundling machine to remove the jammed part, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0025] The present application provides a paper sorting and bundling integrated machine for conveniently clearing paper jams. In order to make the purpose, technical solution and effect of the present application clearer and more specific, the present application is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0026] The present application provides a paper sorting and bundling integrated machine that is convenient for clearing paper jams, such as Figure 1 As shown in the schematic diagram of the normal working state, it includes a sorting unit 1 and a bundling unit 2 placed in parallel, and a cover plate 32 arranged at the lower part of the sorting and bundling integrated machine.

[0027] like Figure 2As shown, a joint 12 is formed between the sorting unit 1 and the bundling unit 2, and a window is provided on the outer wall surface of the sorting and bundling integrated machine, facing the joint 12, and the cover plate 32 is arranged facing the window and can cover the window when closed.

[0028] A binding belt reel is provided at the bottom of the sorting unit 1, and a binding belt slot is provided along the banknote placement port 21 of the binding unit 2. The binding belt used for bundling banknotes is wound on the binding belt reel, and the binding belt channel passes through the joint 12 and is connected to the belt inlet of the binding belt slot.

[0029] After installation, the binding belt starts from the binding belt disk at the bottom of the sorting unit 1 and enters the belt inlet of the binding belt slot on the binding unit 2, so as to perform binding operation on the banknotes placed in the banknote placement port 21. During the movement of the binding belt, the binding belt passes through the joint 12, and the gap in the joint 12 is often the culprit of paper jam. Therefore, in the technical solution of the present application, on the sorting and binding integrated machine, the cover plate 32 is arranged directly opposite to the window where the joint 12 is located, and the cover plate 32 is preferably movably connected to the sorting and binding integrated machine. When the sorting and binding integrated machine is working normally, the window is closed and covered, thereby covering the joint 12. When a paper jam occurs, the cover plate 32 can be opened to expose the joint 12, thereby facilitating the removal of the paper jam.

[0030] In a more preferred embodiment, at least one snap-fit ​​structure is further provided on the cover plate 32, and the snap-fit ​​structure is used to seal the cover plate 32 onto the window by snapping and fixing, thereby preventing the cover plate 32 from being opened during normal operation.

[0031] In a more preferred embodiment, the cover plate 32 is movably connected to one side of the window, which can be realized in different ways. In a preferred embodiment, the movably connected connection is set as a sliding connection, that is, the cover plate 32 can slide on the sorting and bundling machine, especially on the outer wall surface, to expose or cover the window. In a preferred embodiment, at least one slide groove is set parallel to the wall surface on the outer wall surface of the sorting and bundling machine, and a slide rail matching the slide groove is correspondingly set on the side of the cover plate 32 facing the outer wall surface. There is no requirement for the direction of the slide groove and the slide rail, as long as it is convenient to set and can slide normally to open and close the cover plate 32. Of course, a slide rail can also be set on the outer wall surface, and correspondingly, a slide groove is set on the side of the cover plate 32 facing the outer wall surface. Or any sliding connection mechanism can be used.

[0032] In another embodiment of the present application, one or more groups of slide grooves approximately perpendicular to the outer wall are provided in the window, and the slide grooves extend perpendicular to the window into the sorting and bundling integrated machine, and correspondingly, a slide rail sliding in the slide groove is provided on the side of the cover plate 32 facing the outer wall. Thus, the cover plate 32 can be pulled out or pushed in through the slide grooves and the slide rails.

[0033] In a more preferred embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the cover plate 32 is connected to a curved sliding bar 33 on the side facing the outer wall, and the cover plate 32 is connected to the sorting and bundling integrated machine through the curved sliding bar 33, and the curved sliding bar 33 extends into the interior of the window and cooperates with a sliding mechanism, such as an arc-shaped slide groove, disposed inside the window for sliding connection. Therefore, when the cover plate 32 is pulled out, the window can be completely exposed, making it more convenient to clean the paper jam at the joint 12.

[0034] In another preferred embodiment, the sorting and bundling machine also includes a bottom plate 4 arranged at the lower edge of the window, and the cover plate 32 slides on the bottom plate 4 through the connected sliding mechanism, and can be pulled out or pushed closer to open or close the window accordingly, and even expose or cover the joint 12.

[0035] In another embodiment of the movable connection, the movable connection is configured as a rotatable connection, and the rotatable connection can be divided into two modes. One is that the cover plate 32 and the sorting and bundling integrated machine are connected to each other through a rotation axis arranged perpendicular to the outer wall surface, that is, the cover plate 32 can be rotated along the outer wall surface to open or close. Specifically, the cover plate 32 covers the window, and a rotation axis passes through a corner of the cover plate 32 to rotatably fix the cover plate 32 on the outer wall surface. Alternatively, a rotation axis is arranged parallel to the outer wall surface, and a side edge of the cover plate 32 is rotatably connected to the rotation axis, so that it can be flipped open or closed along the rotation axis. The side edge can be any one of the peripheries of the cover plate 32, as long as the window, that is, the joint 12, can be exposed after flipping.

[0036] The integrated sorting and bundling machine disclosed in the present application has a window formed on the outer side surface of the joint 12, facing the joint 12, and a cover 32 is provided to cover the window. When a paper jam or other malfunction occurs, there is no need to disassemble the integrated sorting and bundling machine. The cover can be opened to expose the joint, i.e., the paper jam site. Therefore, the integrated sorting and bundling machine disclosed in the present application can easily clear paper jams and save maintenance time.

[0037] It should be understood that the application of the present application is not limited to the above examples. For ordinary technicians in this field, improvements or changes can be made based on the above description. All these improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to this application.
