For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0056] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 8 A banknote sorting machine according to some embodiments of the present invention is described.

[0057] The banknote sorting machine of the embodiment of the present application includes a frame 1, a banknote feeding assembly, a banknote detection assembly 4, a second banknote conveying assembly 5 and a banknote receiving assembly. The specific structure and working principle of the above-mentioned structural components will be specifically described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the frame 1 is used as a carrier for accommodating the transmission components and detection components of the banknote sorting machine, and at the same time provides protection for the transmission components and detection components. The frame 1 is formed into a shell structure, including a side cover 14, a rear cover 13 and an upper cover 12. In terms of the placement position of the banknote sorting machine in use, the rear cover 13 is formed at the rear of the frame 1, the side cover 14 is formed at the side of the frame 1, and the upper cover 12 is formed at the upper part of the frame 1. The remaining supporting parts of the frame 1 are defined as the main body of the frame 1. An installation space 11 is formed inside the frame 1 for installing the banknote feeding assembly, the banknote detection assembly 4, the second banknote conveying assembly 5 and the banknote receiving assembly.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in order to facilitate the installation, disassembly or opening and closing of the banknote feeding assembly, the banknote detection assembly 4, the second banknote conveying assembly 5 and the banknote receiving assembly (the following embodiments will explain in detail), the side cover 14, the rear cover 13 and the upper cover 12 of the frame 1 of the embodiment of the present application are pivotally connected to the main body of the frame 1, that is, the side cover 14, the rear cover 13 and the upper cover 12 of the frame 1 can be opened and closed relative to the main body of the frame 1, so that the staff can inspect or replace the structural components in the installation space 11.

[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, during the sorting process, banknotes sequentially enter the banknote receiving assembly through the banknote feeding assembly, the banknote detection assembly 4 and the banknote conveying assembly 5 to form a banknote passage, and when passing through the banknote detection assembly 4, the banknote information is collected by various detection components of the banknote detection assembly 4 (such as an image detection sensor, a magnetic detection sensor and a thickness detection sensor, etc.). Therefore, for the layout of the banknote feeding assembly, the banknote detection assembly 4, the second banknote conveying assembly 5 and the banknote receiving assembly in the installation space 11 of the frame 1, the embodiment of the present application arranges the banknote feeding assembly at the lower part of the installation space 11, and the second banknote conveying assembly 5 is arranged at the side of the installation space 11, and the banknote receiving assembly is arranged at the upper part of the installation space 11, that is, the banknote passage is arranged around the circumference of the installation space 11 of the frame 1, which makes full use of the installation space 11 inside the frame 1. Under the condition of the same volume, a longer banknote passage is realized, thereby providing a larger space for the banknote detection assembly 4, and the banknote passage corresponding to the banknote detection assembly 4 is further extended, thereby providing sufficient time for the identification operation of the banknote at the banknote detection assembly 4, and also laying a foundation for the banknote detection assembly 4 to perform more complex identification operations, etc., and enhancing the adaptability of the whole machine. In addition, the banknote passage path formed by the above layout is more regular, making the banknote operation smoother, reducing the occurrence of banknote jams, and reducing noise.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, the banknote feeding assembly includes a banknote feeding station 2 and a first banknote conveying assembly 3 connected between the banknote feeding station 2 and the banknote detection assembly 4. The banknote feeding station 2 is formed on the front side of the frame 1 to facilitate the insertion of banknotes. There is no obstruction above the banknote feeding station 2, and the banknote feeding station 2 passes through the top of the frame 1, so that the top of the banknote feeding station 2 is open, thereby providing the banknote feeding station 2 with a larger banknote capacity.

[0062] like Figure 1As shown, the first banknote conveying assembly 3 includes a first conveying channel 31 formed by the cooperation of a transmission belt and / or a transmission roller 95, that is, the first banknote conveying assembly 3 can select a cooperation mode of transmission belts on both sides or a cooperation mode of transmission rollers 95 on both sides or a cooperation mode of a transmission belt on one side and a transmission roller 95 on the other side to form the first conveying channel 31, so as to convey the banknotes from the banknote feeding station 2 to the banknote detection assembly 4. There is no limitation on the length of the first banknote conveying assembly 3, as long as it can ensure that the banknotes from the banknote feeding station 2 are stably conveyed to the banknote detection assembly 4.

[0063] The end (one end or both ends) of the bracket on one side of the first banknote conveying assembly 3 (a bracket for carrying a transmission belt or a transmission roller) is pivotally connected to the main body of the frame 1, that is, the bracket on one side of the first banknote conveying assembly 3 can rotate relative to the main body of the frame 1, so that the first conveying channel 31 between the two is opened during the process of rotating away from the bracket on the other side, so as to facilitate the cleaning of possible banknote jams in the first conveying channel 31 or the maintenance of the components of the first banknote conveying assembly 3. Optionally, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a rotating shaft 82 can be provided at one end of a bracket on one side of the first banknote conveying assembly 3 (preferably the upper side in terms of structural rationality and convenience), that is, the bracket is rotatably connected to the main body of the frame 1 through the rotating shaft 82, so as to realize the opening of the first conveying channel 31. In addition, a positioning hook 81 is also provided on the bracket on one side of the first banknote conveying assembly 3, which can be hooked and connected with a positioning member (for example, a positioning protrusion or a positioning column, etc.) provided on the bracket (or the main body of the frame 1) on the other side, so as to realize the stable connection of the brackets on both sides, so that the first banknote conveying assembly 3 can stably convey banknotes to the banknote detection assembly 4. In addition, the first banknote conveying assembly 3 of the embodiment of the present application is an independent module that can be disassembled and replaced as a whole, that is, the connection between the bracket of the first banknote conveying assembly 3 and the frame 1 is a detachable connection, and specifically, the connection between the above-mentioned bracket and the frame 1 can be realized by a connecting member such as a bolt, so as to facilitate the detection or replacement of the first banknote conveying assembly 3 as a whole.

[0064] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a note feeding wheel 21, a note twisting wheel 22 and a resistance wheel 23 may be further arranged between the note feeding station 2 and the first note conveying assembly 3 in the direction from the note feeding station 2 to the first note conveying assembly 3. Preferably, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the banknote feeding wheel 21 is arranged at the bottom of the banknote feeding platform 2 so that the banknotes can enter the banknote feeding platform 2 smoothly, and the banknote twisting wheel 22 and the resistance wheel 23 are relatively arranged on both sides of the gap between the banknote feeding platform 2 and the first banknote conveying component 3 so that the banknotes can enter the first banknote conveying component 3 smoothly from the banknote feeding platform 2.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the banknote detection component 4 includes a banknote detection and conveying channel 41 formed by the cooperation of a transmission belt and / or a transmission roller, that is, similar to the first banknote conveying component 3, the banknote detection component 4 can also choose to form the banknote detection and conveying channel 41 by the cooperation of transmission belts on both sides or transmission rollers on both sides or by the cooperation of a transmission belt on one side and a transmission roller on the other side. The beginning of the banknote detection and conveying channel 41 is connected to the end of the first conveying channel 31, and the end of the banknote detection and conveying channel 41 is connected to the beginning of the second conveying channel 51 (the following embodiment will be described in detail) of the second banknote conveying component 5, so as to detect the banknotes transmitted through the first banknote conveying component 3, and transmit the detected banknotes to the second banknote conveying component 5. The banknote detection component 4 includes one or more of an image detection sensor, a magnetic detection sensor and a thickness detection sensor arranged on one side or both sides of the banknote detection and conveying channel 41, so as to detect the banknotes arriving at the banknote detection and conveying channel 41. Since the banknote detection assembly 4 is arranged at the lower part of the installation space 11 in the frame 1, it can be arranged in the horizontal direction or at a certain angle to the horizontal direction, and the installation space is relatively spacious, so the length of the banknote detection assembly 4 can be set according to the type and number of the above-mentioned detection sensors to be installed. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the banknote detection component 4 adopts the mode of cooperation of transmission rollers on both sides to facilitate the installation and application of the sensor.

[0066] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, similar to the first banknote conveying assembly 3, the end (one end or both ends) of the bracket on one side of the banknote detection conveying assembly (the bracket for carrying the transmission belt or the transmission roller) is pivotally connected to the main body of the frame 1, that is, the bracket on one side of the banknote detection conveying assembly can rotate relative to the main body of the frame 1, so that the banknote detection conveying channel 41 between the two is opened during the process of its rotation away from the bracket on the other side, so as to facilitate the cleaning of possible banknote jams in the banknote detection conveying channel 41 or the maintenance of the components of the banknote detection conveying assembly. Optionally, as Figure 2As shown, a rotating shaft 82 can be provided at one end of a bracket on one side of the banknote detection and conveying assembly (preferably the upper side in terms of structural rationality and convenience), that is, the bracket is rotatably connected to the main body of the frame 1 through the rotating shaft 82, so as to realize the opening of the banknote detection and conveying channel 41. In addition, a positioning hook 81 is also provided on the bracket on one side of the banknote detection assembly 4, which can be hooked and connected with a positioning member (for example, a positioning protrusion or a positioning column, etc.) provided on the bracket (or the main body of the frame 1) on the other side, so as to realize the stable connection of the brackets on both sides, so that the banknote detection assembly 4 can stably convey banknotes to the second banknote conveying assembly 5. In addition, the banknote detection assembly 4 of the embodiment of the present application is an independent module that can be disassembled and replaced as a whole, that is, the connection between the bracket of the first banknote conveying assembly 3 and the frame 1 is a detachable connection, and the connection between the above-mentioned bracket and the frame 1 can be realized by a connecting member such as a bolt, so as to facilitate the detection or replacement of the banknote detection assembly 4 as a whole.

[0067] It is necessary to add that, if Figure 3 As shown, when the above-mentioned first banknote conveying component 3 and banknote detection component 4 are set to an openable or detachable structure, the side cover 14 on one side of the frame 1 is set to an openable structure, that is, the side cover 14 is pivotally connected to the main body of the frame 1 to facilitate the opening or replacement of the internal first banknote conveying component 3 and banknote detection component 4.

[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the second banknote conveying assembly 5 is arranged at the side of the installation space 11 and corresponds to the position of the rear cover 13 of the frame 1, so the second banknote conveying assembly 5 can also be defined as a side conveying assembly. The second banknote conveying assembly 5 includes a second conveying channel 51 formed by a transmission belt, that is, the second banknote conveying assembly 5 is belt-driven on both sides, and a second conveying channel 51 is formed between the belts on both sides. The starting end of the second conveying channel 51 is connected to the terminal of the banknote detection conveying channel 41, and the terminal of the second conveying channel 51 is connected to the third conveying channel 61 of the third banknote conveying assembly 6 (the following embodiment will be described in detail). The belt clamping banknote transmission method makes the banknote transportation smoother and quieter. Preferably, the belt on one side of the second banknote conveying assembly 5 and the bracket corresponding to the belt are formed on the rear cover 13 of the frame 1, and extend from bottom to top in the vertical direction (the vertical here does not only include absolute verticality, and structures with an upward extension trend are all within the present definition), and the belt on the other side and the corresponding bracket are formed in the frame 1, and the second conveying channel 51 can be opened by opening the rear cover 13. The bottom end of the rear cover 13 is pivotally connected to the main body of the frame 1, so that the upper part of the rear cover 13 can be opened relative to the main body of the frame 1, that is, the second conveying channel 51 is opened. In addition, in order to ensure the normal operation of the second banknote conveying assembly 5, a positioning hook 81 is also provided on the bracket on one side of the second banknote conveying assembly 5 (the bracket for supporting the corresponding belt), which can be hooked and connected with the positioning member (for example, a positioning protrusion or a positioning column, etc.) provided on the bracket on the other side (or the main body of the frame 1), so as to achieve a stable connection between the brackets on both sides, so that the second banknote conveying assembly 5 can stably convey banknotes to the third banknote conveying assembly 6.

[0069] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the banknote receiving assembly includes a third banknote conveying assembly 6 and a banknote receiving bin 7. The third banknote conveying assembly 6 conveys the banknotes transmitted by the second banknote conveying assembly 5 to the banknote receiving bin 7 or conveys them to different banknote receiving bins 7 according to different denominations.

[0070] The third banknote conveying assembly 6 is arranged at the upper part of the installation space 11 and corresponds to the position of the upper cover 12 of the frame 1. It includes a channel conversion member 62 (such as a shift fork) and a third conveying channel 61 formed by the cooperation of a transmission belt and / or a transmission roller. The third conveying channel 61 has a tendency to extend in the transverse direction. Similar to the first banknote conveying assembly 3, the cooperation of its transmission belt and / or transmission roller is not repeated here. The following mainly describes its position and connection relationship with the banknote receiving bin 7.

[0071] The third banknote conveying assembly 6 forms a plurality of banknote receiving passage openings through the cooperation of the transmission belt and / or the transmission roller, and the passage changing components 62 are installed one by one at the banknote receiving passage openings, and the banknote receiving passage openings correspond to at least one banknote receiving bin 7. Figure 1 As shown, the structure of the third banknote conveying component 6 with two banknote receiving channel openings and three banknote receiving bins 7 is shown, wherein the first banknote receiving channel opening is formed at the beginning of the third conveying channel 61 (i.e., the position where the third conveying channel 61 is connected to the second conveying channel 51), the first channel conversion component 62 is arranged at the first banknote receiving channel opening, and the first banknote receiving bin is arranged at the lower part of the first banknote receiving channel opening, and the banknotes transmitted through the second conveying channel 51 selectively enter the third conveying channel 61 or the first banknote receiving bin through the position conversion of the first channel conversion component 62. A second banknote receiving channel opening is formed in the middle and rear part of the third conveying channel 61, the second channel conversion component 62 is arranged at the second banknote receiving channel opening, and the second banknote receiving bin is arranged at the lower part of the second banknote receiving channel opening, and the banknotes conveyed to the third conveying channel 61 selectively enter the end of the third conveying channel 61 or the second banknote receiving bin through the position conversion of the second channel conversion component 62. The end of the third conveying channel 61 is connected to the third banknote receiving bin. The above three banknote receiving bins 7 can be provided with impellers or without impellers according to needs, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first banknote receiving bin and the second banknote receiving bin are structures with impellers, and the third banknote receiving bin is a structure without impellers. At the same time, since the banknote receiving bin 7 with impellers requires a large space, it is preferably formed inside the frame 1, and the banknote receiving bin 7 without impellers is formed on the upper part of the frame 1 (corresponding to the end position of the upper cover 12). In addition, it should be noted that the number and position of the above-mentioned banknote receiving channel openings, channel conversion components 62 and banknote receiving bins 7 can also be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0072] In addition, if Figure 2 As shown, a transmission component on one side of the third banknote conveying assembly 6 that forms the third conveying channel 61 is formed on the upper cover 12 of the frame 1, and the upper cover 12 of the frame 1 is configured as an openable structure, that is, one end of the upper cover 12 is rotatably connected to the main body of the frame 1, so that the third conveying channel 61 can be opened by opening the upper cover 12, thereby facilitating the inspection or maintenance of possible banknote jamming and other situations in the third conveying channel 61.

[0073] In addition, in order to provide the banknote sorting machine of the embodiment of the present application with more functions, such as Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the embodiment of the present application also alternately and detachably arranges an expansion component 9 and a replacement component 10 between the rear end of the second banknote conveying component 5 and the third banknote conveying component 6, that is, the expansion component 9 and the replacement component 10 are installed alternately between the rear end of the second banknote conveying component 5 and the third banknote conveying component 6, and the replacement component 10 is not installed when the expansion component 9 is installed, and the replacement component 10 can be installed after the expansion component 9 is removed. Specifically, when the expansion component 9 is installed, the second banknote conveying component 5 is docked with the third banknote conveying component 6 through the expansion component 9, so as to realize the conveyance of banknotes from the second banknote conveying component 5 to the third banknote conveying component 6. Figure 8As shown, after the extension component 9 is disassembled, the replacement component 10 is installed at the position of the extension component 9. The replacement component 10 includes a frame 101 and a channel conversion member 62 (for example, a fork). An extension channel is formed between one side of the frame 101 of the replacement component 10 and the end of the second banknote conveying component 5. A transmission component and other structures can be installed at the extension channel to realize the transmission of banknotes to the outside, thereby providing the banknote sorting machine of this embodiment with more possibilities for banknote sorting and depositing. The bottom of the frame 101 of the replacement component 10 forms a connecting channel connecting the second conveying channel 51 and the third conveying channel 61. Banknotes from the second conveying channel 51 can enter the third conveying channel 61 through the connecting channel, realizing the transmission of banknotes from the second banknote conveying component 5 to the third banknote conveying component 6. The channel conversion component 62 of the replacement component 10 is arranged at the intersection of the expansion channel and the connecting channel. By changing the angle of the channel conversion component 62, one of the expansion channel and the connecting channel can be controlled to be opened while the other is closed, that is, when the channel conversion component 62 is located in the first position, the expansion channel is opened and the connecting channel is closed, and the banknotes are transmitted to the expansion channel via the second conveying channel 51; when the channel conversion component 62 is located in the second position, the expansion channel is closed and the connecting channel is opened, and the banknotes enter the third conveying channel 61 via the second conveying channel 51 and the connecting channel. The banknotes entering the third conveying channel 61 can selectively enter different banknote receiving bins 7 under the control of the channel conversion component 62 of the third banknote conveying component 6.

[0074] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the extension component 9 includes a bracket 91 and a transmission component installed on the bracket 91. The bracket 91 is inserted into a positioning portion (such as a positioning hole) on the rear cover 13 of the frame 1 through a positioning member (such as a positioning column 92 protruding from the bracket 91) to achieve positioning of the bracket 91 and the rear cover 13, and at the same time, fasteners such as screws 93 are used to achieve a fastening connection between the bracket 91 and the rear cover 13. The transmission component can be a pulley 94, which is formed as the end pulley of the transmission belt of the second banknote conveying component 5 corresponding to the one side of the rear cover 13, and cooperates with the pulley of the second banknote conveying component 5 to drive the transmission belt of the second banknote conveying component 5. In addition, in order to stably support and drive the transmission belt, the extension component 9 includes a plurality of pulleys 94 arranged in parallel, such as Figure 5 As shown, a structure with two pulleys 94 is shown, and a transmission roller 95 is arranged between the two pulleys 94. The transmission roller 95 can also support and transmit the transmission belt.

[0075] In addition, it should be noted that the banknote sorting machine of the embodiment of the present application can also be provided with a positioning hole matched with the positioning piece on the main body of the frame 1 near the end of the second banknote conveying assembly 5, so as to realize the connection between the extension assembly 9 and the main body of the frame 1. Compared with the connection between the extension assembly 9 and the rear cover 13 of the frame 1, since the pulley 94 of the extension assembly 9 is formed as the end pulley of the second banknote conveying assembly 5 when the extension assembly 9 is connected to the rear cover 13, this arrangement mode is smoother and the belt guiding effect is better, but after the extension assembly 9 is disassembled, there is a long belt, and the belt needs to be replaced to ensure the normal operation of the second banknote conveying assembly 5. If the extension assembly 9 is installed on the main body of the frame 1 near the end of the second banknote conveying assembly 5, the extension assembly 9 may not be formed as the end pulley of the second banknote conveying assembly 5, that is, the second banknote conveying assembly 5 and the extension assembly 9 work independently, at this time, when the rear cover 13 is opened, the extension assembly 9 does not move therewith, and after the extension assembly 9 is disassembled, it does not affect the normal operation of the second banknote conveying assembly 5, making the overall replacement more convenient.

[0076] In addition, in order to provide a suitable installation position for the extension component 9 and to better achieve the docking of the second banknote conveying component 5 and the third banknote conveying component 6, the second banknote conveying component 5 equipped with the extension component 9 is installed, and its end is bent and extended from the side of the installation space 11 to the upper part of the installation space 11, and docked with the third banknote conveying component 6.

[0077] The replacement component 10 includes a frame 101 and a channel conversion component 62. The replacement component 10 is installed on the main body of the frame 1 through the frame 101. The specific frame 101 can also be provided with positioning parts (such as positioning protrusions) or connecting parts (such as screws) and other structures to achieve a detachable connection with the main body of the frame 1, and the channel conversion component 62 is arranged at the extended channel opening. The channel conversion component 62 can be, for example, a fork, which can control the opening and closing of the extended channel opening to control the banknotes output through the second banknote conveying component 5 to be output through the extended channel opening (opening of the extended channel opening) or enter the third banknote conveying component 6 (closing of the extended channel opening).

[0078] In summary, the banknote sorting machine of this embodiment changes the layout of each component so that the banknote passage is formed on the periphery of the whole machine. Under the condition of the same volume, a longer banknote passage is realized, which provides a larger space for the banknote detection module, thereby providing sufficient time for banknote recognition operation. At the same time, the regular banknote passage makes the banknote run more smoothly, reduces banknote jams, and reduces noise.

[0079] In addition, the banknote sorting machine of this embodiment has changed the original single banknote conveying method, and a large number of banknotes are conveyed by belt clamping on the banknote conveying channel, so that the banknote conveying is smoother and the noise is smaller. At the same time, in places where roller transmission is required, such as the banknote detection component 4, roller transmission is adopted, which is more convenient for the installation and application of various sensors.

[0080] Under the design of a small machine volume, a detachable expansion component 9 is provided to provide an expansion channel for the subsequent banknote receiving bin, so as to meet different business needs and make it possible to expand the machine function. The machine with a small body that can be used on the counter can be connected with an expansion banknote receiving bin and other structures when needed, and the number and function of the expansion bin openings can be determined according to needs.
