Detailed Description of the Embodiments

[0021] The following will further elaborate on this application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-3 drawings for a more detailed description.

[0022] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a simple cash box for deposit. The simple cash box for deposit includes a box body 1 with a cash inlet 11 opened at the top, a cash inlet channel 2 obliquely erected on the top of the box body 1 and extending to the middle of the box body 1, a banknote releasing device 3 arranged below the cash inlet channel 2, and a controller 4 installed in the box body 1 to control the operation of the banknote releasing device 3. Among them, a cash withdrawal opening 12 is also opened on the side of the box body 1; an opposed sensor 5 for detecting whether there is a banknote entering is installed at the entrance of the cash inlet channel 2; a receiving space for the banknotes to deposit and fall is left between the banknote releasing device 3 and the bottom of the box body 1.

[0023] For the simple cash box for deposit according to the embodiment of the present invention, the banknotes deposited in the cash box first fall into the box body 1 through the cash inlet channel 2 and are successively deposited on the banknote releasing device 3. During this process, the opposed sensor 5 can pre-detect whether there is a banknote passing through the cash inlet channel 2. When there is a banknote passing through, the opposed sensor 5 sends a signal to the controller 4, and the controller 4 controls the operation of the banknote releasing device 3 according to the pre-set delay time to release the banknotes deposited on the banknote releasing device 3. Then the banknote releasing device 3 resets and repeats the above process until all the banknotes have fallen.

[0024] As Figures 2-3 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the banknote releasing device 3 includes a tension latch 31 electrically connected to the controller 4, a banknote dropping component 32 that can receive and drop banknotes under the control of the tension latch 31, and a link component 33 that can coordinately control the operation of the banknote dropping component 32 under the control of the tension latch 31; among them, the banknote dropping component 32 includes a first rotating shaft 321 and a second rotating shaft 322 horizontally and rotatably connected to the inner side walls of the box body 1 close to each other respectively, and deflection plates 323 horizontally and spacedly installed on the inner side walls of the first rotating shaft 321 and the second rotating shaft 322 close to each other; among them, the first rotating shaft 321 is perpendicular to the extension line of the cash inlet direction of the cash inlet channel 2, and the first rotating shaft 321 and the second rotating shaft 322 are at the same height in the box body 1; the positions and quantities of the deflection plates 323 on the first rotating shaft 321 are the same as and correspond one by one to the positions and quantities of the deflection plates 323 on the second rotating shaft 322; it should also be noted that the connection relationship between the deflection plate 323 and the first rotating shaft 321 or the second rotating shaft 322 can be bolt connection, snap connection, welding or integrally formed, but preferably integrally formed connection is recommended.

[0025] As Figures 1-3As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting rod assembly 33 includes a first transmission piece 331 installed at the end of the first rotating shaft 321, a second transmission piece 332 installed at the end of the second rotating shaft 322, and a connecting rod 333 installed between the first transmission piece 331 and the second transmission piece 332. Among them, the first transmission piece 331, the second transmission piece 332, and the connecting rod 333 are arranged on the same side. One end of the connecting rod 333 is rotatably connected to the top of the first transmission piece 331, and the other end of the connecting rod 333 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the second transmission piece 332. The bottom of the first transmission piece 331 is movably connected to the push rod 311 of the pulling pawl 31. A handle 312 is also fixedly connected to the push rod 311. The handle 312 is used to manually test the operation of the banknote dropping assembly 32 and the connecting rod assembly 33 in the power-off state. It should also be noted that the first transmission piece 331 is fixedly connected to the end of the first rotating shaft 321, and the second transmission piece 332 is fixedly connected to the end of the second rotating shaft 322.

[0026] As Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, a rib 6 is also installed on the inner side wall of the box body 1. The rib 6 is arranged on the same side as the first rotating shaft 321 and is located above the first rotating shaft 321 and below the banknote inlet channel 2. The rib 6 is parallel to the first rotating shaft 321. It should also be noted that the connection relationship between the rib 6 and the box body 1 can be snap connection, welding, or integrally formed. It is recommended to preferably use integrally formed connection. The setting of the rib 6 enables the banknotes to hit the rib 6 when falling through the banknote inlet channel 2. After the impact, the banknotes can be aligned in one direction and fall smoothly onto the deflector 323, and it can also realize the initial sorting of the deposited banknotes.

[0027] During use, when the preset delay time is reached, the controller 4 controls the pulling pawl 31 to act. Specifically, the pulling pawl 31 controls the push rod 311 to move outward. The push rod 311 drives the first transmission piece 331 connected to it to rotate outward, and together with the first rotating shaft 321, it rotates clockwise. At this time, the deflector 323 on the first rotating shaft 321 rotates clockwise synchronously. During this process, the second connecting piece rotates outward synchronously under the drive of the connecting rod 333, and together with the second rotating shaft 322, it rotates counterclockwise. At this time, the deflector 323 on the second rotating shaft 322 rotates counterclockwise synchronously. Thus, the banknotes accumulated on the deflector 323 within this delay time can all fall to the bottom of the box body 1. Then, the pulling pawl 31 controls the push rod 311 to reset, and then the above process is repeated until all banknotes are dropped.

[0028] As Figures 1-2As shown, in this embodiment, a buffer assembly 7 is further provided below the banknote dropping assembly 32. The buffer assembly 7 includes a first fixed shaft 71 and a second fixed shaft 72 which are respectively horizontally arranged on the inner side walls of the box body 1 close to each other, and elastic pieces 73 which are horizontally and spacedly installed on the inner side walls of the first fixed shaft 71 and the second fixed shaft 72 close to each other. Among them, the first fixed shaft 71 and the first rotating shaft 321 are on the same side, the second fixed shaft 72 and the second rotating shaft 322 are on the same side, and the first fixed shaft 71 and the second fixed shaft 72 are at the same height in the box body 1. The positions and quantities of the elastic pieces 73 on the first fixed shaft 71 are the same as and correspond to those of the elastic pieces 73 on the second fixed shaft 72 one by one. It should also be noted that the connection relationship between the first fixed shaft 71 and the second fixed shaft 72 and the box body 1 can be welding or integrally formed, and it is recommended to preferably adopt integrally formed connection. The connection relationship between the elastic piece 73 and the first fixed shaft 71 or the second fixed shaft 72 can be snap connection, welding or integrally formed, and it is recommended to preferably adopt integrally formed connection.

[0029] When the banknotes falling through the deflecting plate 323 are in the process of descending, they will pass through the action of the elastic pieces 73. Since the elastic pieces 73 themselves have toughness and elasticity, a stack of falling banknotes will be buffered by the elastic pieces 73 and then fall into the bottom of the box body 1. By setting the elastic pieces 73, the possibility of the banknotes being scattered during the falling process can be reduced, the neatness of the banknotes falling into the box body 1 can be improved, and a certain sorting effect is achieved on the banknotes stored in the box body 1.

[0030] As Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the connection mode between the banknote inlet channel 2 and the box body 1 is bolt connection, snap connection or welding, and it is recommended to preferably adopt bolt connection. Baffles 21 for blocking and limiting the sliding of banknotes are vertically arranged on both sides of the banknote inlet direction of the banknote inlet channel 2, and the baffles 21 are integrally formed with the banknote inlet channel 2. The banknote inlet channel 2 is made of metal material, and the banknote inlet channel 2 is electrically connected to the controller 4 through a grounding wire, so that the static electricity release of banknotes can be realized and the problem of static electricity adsorption of banknotes can be solved. Regarding the static electricity release of banknotes, there can be other methods. For example, if the banknote inlet channel 2 is made of plastic material, then metal strips can be arranged at intervals on the banknote inlet channel 2, and then it is also electrically connected to the controller 4 through a grounding wire to realize the static electricity release of banknotes. Therefore, the static electricity release method described in this embodiment can also have other options, not limited to that described in this embodiment.

[0031] In this embodiment, the controller 4 at least includes an information receiving module 41 and an information processing module 42. The information receiving module 41 (such as a WiFi module, an Internet module, a Bluetooth module or an infrared module), and the information processing module 42 (such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit, central processor), a general-purpose processor, a DSP (Digital Signal Processor, digital signal processor), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit, application-specific integrated circuit), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array, field programmable gate array) or other programmable logic devices, transistor logic devices, hardware components or any combination thereof). The information processing module 42 can also be a combination that realizes computing functions, such as including a combination of one or more microprocessors, a combination of a DSP and a microprocessor, etc.).

[0032] In summary, for the simple cash box according to the embodiment of the present invention, during use, the banknotes deposited in the cash box first fall into the box body 1 through the banknote inlet channel 2 and are successively deposited on the banknote releasing device 3. During this process, the opposed sensors 5 can pre-detect whether there are banknotes passing through the banknote inlet channel 2. When there are banknotes passing through, the opposed sensors 5 send signals to the controller 4, and the controller 4 controls the operation of the banknote releasing device 3 according to the preset delay time;

[0033] Specifically, when the preset delay time is reached, the controller 4 controls the tension pawl 31 to act. The tension pawl 31 controls the push rod 311 to move outwards. The push rod 311 drives the first transmission piece 331 connected thereto to rotate outwards and rotates clockwise together with the first rotating shaft 321. At this time, the deflector plate 323 on the first rotating shaft 321 rotates clockwise synchronously; during this process, the second connecting piece rotates outwards synchronously under the transmission of the connecting rod 333 and rotates counterclockwise together with the second rotating shaft 322. At this time, the deflector plate 323 on the second rotating shaft 322 rotates counterclockwise synchronously. Thus, the banknotes accumulated on the deflector plate 323 during this delay time can all fall off. Then the tension pawl 31 controls the push rod 311 to reset, and then the above process is repeated until all the banknotes have fallen;

[0034] When the banknotes falling through the deflector plate 323 are descending, they will be affected by the elastic piece 73. Since the elastic piece 73 itself has toughness and elasticity, a stack of descending banknotes will be buffered by the elastic piece 73 and then fall to the bottom of the box body 1. By setting the elastic piece 73, the possibility of the banknotes being scattered during the falling process can be reduced, the neatness of the banknotes falling into the box body 1 can be improved, and a certain sorting effect is achieved on the banknotes deposited in the box body 1;

[0035] The simple cash cassette structure for deposits of the present invention is simple in structure, easy to assemble, and low in cost. It is also safe and reliable during use. It can reduce the overall sales price of self-service financial equipment while meeting the basic usage functions to meet customer requirements, and is very suitable for popularization and application.
