Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of gate turning equipment, and in particular to a gate turning device. Background Art

[0002] A passbook is a book used to record bank transactions. Currently, medical, pension, and other benefits are disbursed using passbook accounts. Many seniors are accustomed to using passbooks for deposits and withdrawals, allowing them to track deposit and withdrawal status in real time. Consequently, passbooks are highly utilized.

[0003] However, during the entire passbook distribution process, especially during passbook printing, since the passbook will be printed back and forth multiple times in the printer, many elderly people, due to impatience or lack of understanding of the printing process, often pull out the passbook when it is sent out for the first printing, which leads to information recording failure. As a result, the passbooks taken by the elderly are missing information, or the staff need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to reprint;

[0004] At present, the existing technology for the above-mentioned problem is to install a gate mechanism at the end of the printer. After printing is completed, the gate opens and the passbook can be taken out. However, the existing gate mechanism can be opened manually by the user, but it is often impossible to accurately determine whether the printing is completed, which often wastes a lot of time. Or it can be opened automatically by a motor control. In the automatically opened gate mechanism, a simple telescopic hinged baffle is often used. Over time, it is easy for the passbook to be stuck in the printer due to the gate not being opened properly, or it can be easily foreign objects to enter due to the gate not being raised and closed properly, leading to serious consequences.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the problems existing in the existing passbook printing, there is an urgent need for a gate flipping device installed at the printer outlet. When the printing is completed, the gate flips over so that people can get the passbook. At the same time, it can ensure the use effect and duration of opening and closing, and add an alarm reminder function to ensure that misoperation is reduced, thereby reducing labor costs and improving work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention aims to provide a new technical solution that is highly efficient, saves manpower, and is safer.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problems is as follows:

[0008] A gate turning device comprises: a housing having a square structure that is continuous from front to back and a rear end thereof connected to a printing outlet, wherein the height of the lower end surface of the housing is lower than that of the printing outlet;

[0009] A connecting plate, the connecting plate being mounted on the lower end of the housing and being fixed to the printing device;

[0010] A flip mechanism, comprising a flap and a telescopic drive, wherein the lower ends of the flap are hinged to the left and right sides of the lower end of the interior of the shell; an arc-shaped opening is provided at the lower end of the side of the shell, one end of the telescopic drive is hinged to the middle position of the side of the flap through the arc-shaped opening, and the other end is hinged to the connecting plate; the telescopic drive drives the flap to flip at the front end of the shell to open or close the interior of the shell;

[0011] The sensing mechanism is installed around the periphery of the shell.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the passbook is sent into the shell through the printing outlet, and there will be multiple times of re-entry and exit of the printer during this process. In this regard, when printing is not completed, the flap in the flip mechanism is pushed by the telescopic drive to flip upward along the hinge to block the front end of the shell to prevent people from taking it by mistake; after printing is completed, the flap flips down to expose the front port of the shell, and people can take out the passbook from the front end of the shell; the shell is used to receive the passbook coming out of the printing outlet, and the connecting plate is connected and fixed to the printer as a whole. The flap flips under the telescopic drive, which realizes automation and saves manpower and material resources. At the same time, the flap is hinged to the front end of the shell to avoid damage to the structure and power source. The sensing mechanism protects the early warning and alarm functions of the entire device during operation. The entire device has a simple structure, effectively improves work efficiency, prevents misoperation and foreign matter from entering, and extends the service life.

[0013] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows:

[0014] Furthermore, the outer side of the upper end of the flip plate is a sloped structure facing the inner side, and the thickness of the flip plate is smaller than the height between the lower end surface of the shell and the printing outlet.

[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that after the passbook is printed, it is flipped and folded until the upper end is close to the lower end surface of the shell. In this way, when the passbook comes out of the printing outlet, since the thickness of the flap is less than the height between the lower end surface of the shell and the printing outlet, the flap will not affect the entry and exit of the passbook. The inclined structure can more smoothly send the passbook to the flap and be taken away by people. The whole setting is convenient and practical.

[0016] Furthermore, the height of the hinge point between the flap and the shell is higher than the height of the printing outlet.

[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further scheme is that the height of the hinge point of the flap is higher than the height of the printing outlet, so that when the flap is flipped open at the front end of the shell, the hinge end is high and the other end is low. In this way, the flap can be fully opened under the action of gravity, avoiding the problem of easy jamming of the entire structure and improving the overall efficiency of taking things.

[0018] Furthermore, a plurality of transparent observation holes are provided in the middle of the flap.

[0019] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further solution are: the viewing hole can be used to observe the printing status of the internal passbook, which is convenient for manual supervision, and effectively allows customers to observe the printing steps, thereby improving the efficiency of taking things.

[0020] Furthermore, the telescopic drive includes a linear motor and a force spring, the upper end of the linear motor is hinged at the middle position of the flap, and the lower end is hinged to the connecting plate, and the linear motor is installed at intervals from the side of the flap; one end of the force spring is connected to the middle position of the linear motor, and the other end is horizontally installed on the connecting plate, and the force spring is always in a compressed state.

[0021] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further scheme are: the telescopic drive is a linear motor and a force spring. The linear motor has the advantages of easy adjustment and control, low noise and strong power. Its two ends are hinged, which can maintain high rotational performance to ensure that the flap is smoothly folded. The linear motor's own movement extends the shaft in the motor body and the linear motor body is hinged to the connecting plate, so that during the opening and closing process of the gate, the linear motor body will also rotate around the hinge point. When the flap is still a certain distance away from the exit support plate during the opening process, even if the linear motor's telescopic stroke has ended, the flap will rotate around the hinge support seat with the linear motor under the action of gravity, and then the gate will continue to fall and close to the exit support plate; the force spring is always in a compressed state, which can give the linear motor a force to rotate as a whole along the lower end hinge point, ensuring that the flap provides pulling force when the opening or closing force is insufficient, keeping the flap fully open or fully closed, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment, and improving its service life.

[0022] Furthermore, the sensing mechanism includes a first anti-pinch sensor installed above the shell and a second anti-pinch sensor installed below the shell, and the first anti-pinch sensor and the second anti-pinch sensor are installed opposite to each other.

[0023] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that the first anti-pinch sensor above the shell and the second anti-pinch sensor below the shell can sense whether a hand enters the inside of the shell. After the passbook is printed and the flap is opened, if it senses that something has entered the inside of the shell, the flap will not close, preventing harm to the human body and improving safety.

[0024] Furthermore, the shell is provided with a plurality of first through holes on the top and a plurality of second through holes corresponding to the first through holes on the bottom. The first anti-pinch sensor and the second anti-pinch sensor are radiated through the plurality of the first through holes and the plurality of the second through holes to achieve sensing.

[0025] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is: the first through hole and the second through hole are installed opposite to each other, thereby achieving inductive communication between the first anti-pinch sensor and the second anti-pinch sensor, thereby better sensing whether there is a hand inserted into the shell, thereby improving the safety of the equipment.

[0026] Furthermore, the sensing mechanism also includes a first fault sensor and a second fault sensor. A sensing through hole is opened in the middle of the side of the shell. The first fault sensor is installed at the sensing through hole. A through slot is installed at the lower end of the shell. The second fault sensor is installed at the through slot. A card block is installed at the lower end of the flap. When the flap is flipped to the open state, the card block passes through the through slot to the second fault sensor.

[0027] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further scheme is: the first fault sensor is installed at the sensing through hole opened in the middle of the side of the shell, which can sense whether the flap is closed, and then remind the user whether the flip mechanism is damaged. Similarly, the second fault sensor senses whether the flap is in place when it is opened. If it is in place, it can sense the block installed at the lower end of the flap, and then no warning will be issued. If it cannot be sensed, it can remind the user of the fault.

[0028] Furthermore, the protective shell is installed around the outer sides of the shell and the connecting plate and wraps the side walls of the shell and the front end of the connecting plate.

[0029] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the protective shell protects the operation of the components in the device from external influences on the one hand, and protects the user from being injured by accidentally touching the internal components on the other hand.

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0037] Example 1: Figure 1-2 As shown, an embodiment of a gate turning device disclosed in the present invention includes:

[0038] The housing 1 is a square structure that is continuous from front to back, and the rear end is connected to the print outlet. The height of the lower end surface of the housing 1 is lower than the height of the print outlet.

[0039] A connecting plate 2 is installed at the lower end of the housing 1 and is fixed to the printing device;

[0040] The flip mechanism 3 includes a flap 31 and at least one telescopic drive 32. The lower ends of the flap 31 are hinged to the left and right sides of the lower end of the interior of the housing 1. The lower end of the side of the housing 1 is provided with an arc-shaped opening 11. One end of the telescopic drive 32 is hinged to the middle position of the side of the flap 31 through the arc-shaped opening 11, and the other end is hinged to the connecting plate 2. The telescopic drive 32 drives the flap 31 to flip at the front end of the housing 1 to open or close the interior of the housing 1.

[0041] The sensing mechanism 4 is installed around the periphery of the housing 1 .

[0042] Specifically, the interior of the shell 1 is used to hold passbooks, and the height of the lower end surface of the shell 1 is lower than the height of the printing outlet, so that the passbook will not be blocked by the shell 1 during multiple printing processes, thereby affecting printing; the telescopic drive 32 controls the flipping of the flap 31. When printing is almost completed (before being sent out of the printer for the last time), the telescopic drive 32 contracts and pulls the flap 31 along the arc-shaped opening 11 to fold downward along its lower end hinge point, thereby making the flap 31 close to the lower end surface of the shell 1. At this time, the printer outputs the final printed passbook; when printing, the telescopic drive 32 is in the extension stage, and it always presses the flap 31 along the arc-shaped opening 11 on the internal front end of the shell 1; the connecting plate 2 is used to fix the shell 1 and the lower hinged end of the telescopic drive 32 during the whole process; the sensing mechanism 4 is installed around the periphery of the shell 1 to provide safety protection for the operation process of the flipping mechanism 3 and equipment problem warning.

[0043] It should be understood that the shell 1 is used to prevent users from touching the passbook being printed. The upper end of the telescopic drive 32 is hinged to the flap 31 and moves with the movement of the flap 31. The lower end is fixedly hinged on the connecting plate 2, which can realize the rapid opening or closing of the flap 31 inside the shell 1, and at the same time reduce the use failure of the flap 31. The whole process is automated, saving manpower and material resources, and avoiding damage to the structure and power source. The sensing mechanism 4 provides early warning and alarm functions during operation. The whole device has a simple structure, effectively improves work efficiency, prevents misoperation and foreign matter from entering, and extends service life.

[0044] Preferably, the arc-shaped opening 11 coincides with the trajectory of the middle position of the flap 31 when it flips down.

[0045] Preferably, there can be two telescopic drives 32, which are respectively installed on both sides of the flap 31 to provide multiple powers and guarantees.

[0046] On the basis of Example 1, Example 2: Figure 1-3 As shown, the outer side of the upper end of the flap 31 is a sloped structure facing the inner side, and the thickness of the flap 31 is less than the height between the lower end surface of the shell 1 and the printing outlet.

[0047] It should be understood that after the flap 31 flips down to open the shell 1, the outer side of the upper end is a sloped structure facing the inner side, that is, after the flap 31 flips down, its end close to the print port is a sloped structure inclined toward the lower end face of the shell 1. In this way, when the passbook comes out, it is smoother and unobstructed. At the same time, the thickness of the flap 31 is less than the height between the lower end face of the shell 1 and the print port. In this way, when the passbook is pushed into the interior of the shell 1, the sloped structure can more smoothly deliver the passbook to the flap 31 and be taken away by people. The entire arrangement is convenient and practical.

[0048] On the basis of Example 1, Example 3: Figure 1-3 As shown, the height of the hinge point between the flap 31 and the housing 1 is higher than the height of the print outlet.

[0049] It should be understood that the height of the hinge point of the flap 31 is higher than the height of the print outlet, so that when the flap 31 is flipped open at the front end of the shell 1, the hinge end is high and the other end is low. In this way, even if the flap 31 cannot be fully opened under the drive of the telescopic drive 32, the flap 31 can be fully opened under the downward pressure of its own gravity, avoiding the problem of easy jamming of the entire structure and improving the overall efficiency of taking things.

[0050] Preferably, in the above process, a transverse movable opening is provided at the lower end of the arc-shaped opening 11 for movement of the upper hinge point of the telescopic drive 32 when the flap 31 is finally opened by gravity.

[0051] On the basis of Example 1, Example 4: Figure 1-3As shown, a plurality of transparent observation holes are provided in the middle of the flap 31 .

[0052] It should be understood that the viewing hole can be used to observe the printing status of the internal passbook, which facilitates manual supervision and effectively allows customers to observe the printing steps, thereby improving the efficiency of taking items.

[0053] On the basis of Example 1, Example 5: Figure 1-3 As shown, the telescopic drive 32 includes a linear motor 321 and a force spring 322. The upper end of the linear motor 321 is hinged at the middle position of the flap 31, and the lower end is hinged on the connecting plate 2. The linear motor 321 is installed at intervals from the side of the flap 31; one end of the force spring 322 is connected to the middle position of the linear motor 321, and the other end is installed on the connecting plate 2. The force spring 322 is always in a compressed state.

[0054] Specifically, the telescopic drive 32 includes a linear motor 321 and a force spring 322. The linear motor 321 is hinged at both ends to maintain high mobility and ensure that the flap 31 can be folded smoothly. During the opening or closing process of the flap 31, the linear motor 321 can also rotate along the lower hinge point when extending or shortening. Even if the telescopic stroke of the linear motor 321 has ended, the flap 31 will still rotate around the hinge support seat with the linear motor 321 under the action of gravity, and then the flap 31 will continue to fall and fit closely to the lower end surface of the shell 1; the force spring 322 is always in a compressed state and can give the linear motor 321 an outward rotational thrust along the lower hinge point, thereby ensuring that the flap 31 provides a pulling force when the opening or closing force is insufficient, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

[0055] It should be understood that the movement of the linear motor 321 includes both telescopic and rotational movement, which can ensure the smooth flipping of the flap 31. At the same time, the linear motor 321 also has the advantages of easy adjustment and control, low noise and strong power, which can improve the comfort and controllability of work, thereby increasing the overall service life. The force spring 322 ensures the normal flipping of the flap 31 by providing lateral thrust, prevents the linear motor 321 from generating a sense of frustration, and improves the overall efficiency.

[0056] On the basis of Example 1, Example 6: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sensing mechanism 4 includes a first anti-pinch sensor 41 installed above the housing 1 and a second anti-pinch sensor 42 installed below the housing 1. The first anti-pinch sensor 41 and the second anti-pinch sensor 42 are installed opposite to each other.

[0057] It should be understood that the first anti-pinch sensor 41 and the second anti-pinch sensor 42 can sense whether a hand enters the inside of the shell 1, and then ensure the safety of the user through a safety mechanism. If it is sensed that something has entered the inside of the shell 1, the flap 31 will not close, preventing harm to the human body and improving safety performance.

[0058] On the basis of Example 6, Example 7: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of first through holes are provided on the upper portion of the shell 1, and a plurality of second through holes corresponding to the first through holes are provided on the lower portion. The first anti-pinch sensor 41 and the second anti-pinch sensor 42 are projected through the plurality of first through holes and the plurality of second through holes to achieve sensing.

[0059] It should be understood that the first anti-pinch sensor 41 and the second anti-pinch sensor 42 need to be in direct contact with each other through the first through hole and the second through hole to work, so that any foreign object within the direct contact range of the first anti-pinch sensor 41 and the second anti-pinch sensor 42 can be sensed. If a foreign object outside the normal step is sensed, the equipment can be temporarily operated to prevent personal injury.

[0060] On the basis of Example 1, Example 8: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sensing mechanism 4 also includes a first fault sensor 43 and a second fault sensor 44. A sensing through hole is opened in the middle of the side of the shell 1. The first fault sensor 43 is installed at the sensing through hole. A through slot is installed at the lower end of the shell 1. The second fault sensor 44 is installed in the through slot. A card block 311 is installed at the lower end of the flap 31. When the flap 31 is flipped to the open state, the card block 311 passes through the through slot to the second fault sensor 44.

[0061] Specifically, the first fault sensor 43 is installed at the sensing through hole in the middle of the side of the shell 1. By sensing the movement trajectory of the flap 31 through the sensing through hole, it can be judged whether the opening and closing states of the flap 31 are operating normally. If any abnormality is found, the staff can be reminded. The second fault sensor 44 is installed at the lower end groove of the shell 1. A card block 311 is installed at the lower end of the flap 31. The falling position of the card block 311 is used to judge whether the fully open state of the flap 31 is normal, and then the operation of the entire flip mechanism 3 can be monitored and adjusted in real time to ensure the use effect and life of the entire equipment.

[0062] On the basis of Example 1, Example 9: Figure 4 As shown, the gate turning device further includes a protective shell 5 , which is installed around the outer sides of the shell 1 and the connecting plate 2 and wraps the side walls of the shell 1 and the front end of the connecting plate 2 .

[0063] It should be understood that the protective shell 5 is installed around the outside of the shell 1 and the connecting plate 2 and wraps the side wall of the shell 1 and the front end of the connecting plate 2. On the one hand, the protective shell 5 protects the operation of the various components in the device from external influences, and on the other hand, it protects the user from accidentally touching the internal components and causing injury.

[0064] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
