[0031] Figure 1 A schematic perspective view of a partial structure of a bank counter delivery slot 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. For ease of explanation, arrows are used to indicate the positive directions of the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis. Figure 2 A partial structural perspective diagram of a document delivery slot 100 for a bank counter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of a document delivery slot 100 for a bank counter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure along the Y-axis direction is shown. Figure 4 A partial circuit diagram of a document delivery slot 100 for a bank counter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0032] The order delivery slot 100 includes a slot body 102, a slot door 104, a driving device 106 and a disinfection device 108. The slot body 102 includes a slot 128 and a receiving cavity connected to the slot 128. The slot door 104 is configured to close the slot 128 when in a closed state, and at least partially open the slot 128 when in an open state. The driving device 106 is configured to drive the disinfection device 108 in response to the slot door 104 being in a closed state, and to turn off the disinfection device 108 in response to any of the following: the slot door 104 is in an open state, and the continuous disinfection time of the disinfection device 108 reaches a predetermined time threshold. The disinfection device 108 is arranged in the receiving cavity and is configured to disinfect or sterilize objects delivered through the order delivery slot 100.

[0033] It should be understood that the delivery slot 100 can be embedded in a bank counter so that people on both sides of the counter can pass objects through the delivery slot 100. It should be understood that the objects passed include, but are not limited to, banknotes, passbooks, bank cards, etc.

[0034] In some embodiments, the driving device includes, for example, a power supply and a micro switch. The micro switch is disposed on the tank body, corresponding to the tank door, and is connected in series with the power supply and the disinfection device. The micro switch is configured to be closed when the tank door is closed to activate the disinfection device, and to be opened when the tank door is open to deactivate the disinfection device.

[0035] In some embodiments, the driving device further includes, for example, a time delay relay. The time delay relay is connected in series with the power supply, the micro switch, and the disinfecting device, and is configured to be closed in response to the micro switch being closed to drive the disinfecting device, and to be disconnected in response to the closing time reaching a predetermined time threshold to turn off the disinfecting device.

[0036] In some embodiments, the disinfection device includes, for example, an ultraviolet disinfection device and an ultrasonic atomization disinfection device.

[0037] In some embodiments, the delivery slot further includes an image capture device, for example. The image capture device is disposed within the receiving chamber and is configured to capture an image of the object and provide the captured image to the drive device. The drive device is further configured to determine shape attributes of the object based on the image of the object and generate a state control signal for controlling the disinfection state of the disinfection device based on the shape attributes of the object.

[0038] In some embodiments, the delivery slot further includes a temperature sensor, for example. The temperature sensor is disposed within the receiving chamber and is configured to detect the temperature of the object and provide the detected temperature to the drive device; the drive device is further configured to shut down the disinfection device in response to determining that the temperature of the object is greater than a predetermined temperature threshold.

[0039] The following will further describe the order delivery slot for a bank counter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure in conjunction with the relevant drawings.

[0040] It should be understood that the slot body 102 includes, for example, a bottom surface 122, four side walls 124, and a top surface structure 126. The top surface structure 126 is provided with two through holes to form two notches 128. Corresponding to the two notches 128, the delivery slot 100 is provided with two slot doors 104. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the two slot doors 104 can be opened or closed separately. In some embodiments, the two slot doors 104 are linked to each other and opened or closed at the same time. In some embodiments, the slot door 104 can slide in a direction parallel to the top surface structure 126 to be opened or closed. In some embodiments, the slot door 104 is rotatably connected to the top surface structure 126 to be opened or closed.

[0041] In some embodiments, the driving device 106 includes, for example, a power source 162 and a micro switch 164. The micro switch 164 is disposed on the tank body 102, corresponding to the tank door 104, and is connected in series with the power source 162 and the disinfection device 108. The micro switch 164 is configured to be closed to activate the disinfection device 108 when the tank door 104 is closed, and to be opened to deactivate the disinfection device 108 when the tank door 104 is open.

[0042] The driving device 106 further includes, for example, a time delay relay 166. The time delay relay 166 is connected in series with the power supply 162, the micro switch 164, and the disinfection device 108. The time delay relay 166 is configured to be closed in response to the micro switch 164 being closed to drive the disinfection device 108, and to be opened in response to the closing time reaching a predetermined time threshold to turn off the disinfection device 108.

[0043] It should be noted that for the delivery slot 100, the micro switch 164 is provided on the top surface structure 126 of the slot body 102. When a person on one side of the bank counter slides the corresponding slot door 104 toward the other side of the bank counter, the slot door 104 is in an open state so as to at least partially open the corresponding slot 128. At this time, the slot door 104 contacts the micro switch 164 so as to apply pressure to the micro switch 164. The micro switch 164 is disconnected under the action of the pressure, and thus the disinfection device 108 is turned off. For example, the corresponding person puts an object into the accommodating cavity of the delivery slot 100. Then, the corresponding person closes the corresponding slot door 104. As a result, the corresponding slot door 104 and the corresponding micro switch 164 are no longer in contact and no pressure is applied to the micro switch 164. Thus, the micro switch 164 is closed. It should be understood that when both slot doors 104 are in the closed state, the corresponding two micro switches 164 are both closed, thus generating current in the time delay relay 166, which accordingly energizes (i.e., closes), thereby activating the disinfection device 108 to disinfect or sterilize the objects delivered through the delivery slot 100. In this solution, during the delivery of objects, the relevant personnel only need to close the slot door 104 to conveniently activate the disinfection device 108 for disinfection, without the need for additional operations specifically for activating the disinfection device 108.

[0044] For example, when a person on the other side of the bank counter opens the corresponding slot door 104 to take out the object being handed over, the disinfection device 108 is immediately turned off. In this solution, the relevant person only needs to open the slot door 104 to conveniently and automatically turn off the disinfection device 108, without having to perform additional operations specifically for turning off the disinfection device 108.

[0045] It should be noted that when the time delay relay 166 is energized, the timing starts automatically. If the slot door 104 on either side is not opened within the predetermined time threshold, the time delay relay 166 timing reaches the predetermined time threshold, that is, the continuous disinfection time of the disinfection device 108 reaches the predetermined time threshold, then the time delay relay 166 automatically pops open (that is, is disconnected) in response to the timing reaching the predetermined time threshold, and at this time, the disinfection device 108 is turned off. In this solution, the disinfection duration is controlled by the time delay relay 166, and the disinfection device 108 is automatically turned off when the continuous disinfection time reaches the predetermined time threshold, which can effectively save energy. In addition, after the relevant personnel leave, it can also prevent the disinfection device 108 from being in working state for a long time, thereby effectively avoiding energy waste and improving safety.

[0046] The disinfection device 108 includes, for example, a UV disinfection device 182. The number of UV disinfection devices 182 is, for example, multiple, and the multiple UV disinfection devices 182 are respectively disposed on the bottom surface 122, the four side walls 124, and the top surface structure 126 of the tank body 102 to achieve all-round disinfection.

[0047] In some embodiments, a transfer channel 129 is further provided within the receiving cavity of the tank body 102. The transfer channel 129 is, for example, rectangular. The multiple walls constituting the transfer channel 129 are, for example, transparent, so that the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet disinfection device 182 can penetrate the interior of the transfer channel 129 to disinfect or sterilize objects within the transfer channel 129.

[0048] In some embodiments, the delivery slot 100 further includes a password verification device 140. The password verification device 140 is disposed in the receiving cavity and is used to verify the password information input by the user.

Figure 6 A partial structural perspective diagram of a document delivery slot 500 for a bank counter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the internal structure along the Y-axis direction of a document delivery slot 500 for a bank counter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of a top view of a document delivery slot 500 for a bank counter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. For ease of explanation, the top surface structure 126 is not shown. Figure 9 A partial circuit diagram of a document delivery slot 500 for a bank counter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0050] The delivery slot 500 further includes an image acquisition device 532. The image acquisition device 532 is disposed within the receiving chamber and is configured to acquire an image of the object and provide the acquired image to the drive device 106. The drive device 106 is further configured to determine the shape attributes of the object based on the image and generate a state control signal for controlling the disinfection state of the disinfection device 108 based on the shape attributes of the object.

[0051] The drive device 106 further includes, for example, a control unit 536. The image acquisition device 532, for example, provides the acquired image to the control unit 536 of the drive device 106. The control unit 536 of the drive device 106 determines the shape attributes of the object from the image of the object based on an image recognition algorithm. The shape attributes of the object include, for example, at least one of the shape type of the object, the volume of the object, and the surface area of the object.

[0052] In some embodiments, there are multiple image acquisition devices 532, for example, each of which is disposed on one of the four sidewalls 124 of the tank body 102. The control unit 536 of the drive device 106 is further configured to determine shape attributes of the object based on the images of the object captured by the multiple image acquisition devices 532.

[0053] The disinfection device 108 includes, for example, an ultraviolet disinfection device 182 and an ultrasonic atomization disinfection device 184. The bottom surface 122, the four side walls 124 and the top surface structure 126 of the tank body 102 are respectively provided with the ultraviolet disinfection device 182.

[0054] Reference Figure 9 The ultraviolet disinfection device 182 and the ultrasonic atomization disinfection device 184 are respectively arranged on two parallel branches. A first switch K1 is provided on the branch corresponding to the ultraviolet disinfection device 182, and a second switch K2 is provided on the branch corresponding to the ultrasonic atomization disinfection device 184. The control unit 536 can control the first switch K1 and the second switch K2 to be closed or opened respectively.

[0055] In some embodiments, the control unit 536 in the drive device 106 determines the shape attributes of the object based on the image of the object, including the volume of the object. The control unit 536 in the drive device 106 generates a state control signal for controlling at least one of the disinfection duration or disinfection power of the disinfection device 108 based on the volume of the object. For example, the corresponding disinfection duration is proportional to the volume of the object; the corresponding disinfection power is proportional to the volume of the object. In this solution, the delivery slot 500 can reasonably set at least one of the disinfection duration or disinfection power based on the volume of the object, so that the disinfection effect matches the volume of the object.

[0056] In some embodiments, the control unit 536 in the drive device 106 determines the shape attributes of the object based on the image of the object, including the surface area of the object. The control unit 536 in the drive device 106 generates a state control signal for controlling at least one of the disinfection duration or disinfection power of the disinfection device 108 based on the surface area of the object. For example, the corresponding disinfection duration is proportional to the surface area of the object; the corresponding disinfection power is proportional to the surface area of the object. In this solution, the delivery slot 500 can reasonably set at least one of the disinfection duration or disinfection power based on the surface area of the object, so that the disinfection effect matches the surface area of the object.

[0057] The control unit 536 in the drive device 106 can control the duration of the disinfection device 108 by, for example, setting a predetermined time threshold of the delay relay 166, or by controlling the first switch K1 and the second switch K2. The control unit 536 in the drive device 106 can control the disinfection power of the disinfection device 108 by, for example, controlling the output power of the disinfection device 108 (e.g., the ultraviolet disinfection device 182 and the ultrasonic atomization disinfection device 184).

[0058] In some embodiments, the control unit 536 in the drive device 106 determines the shape attributes of the object based on the image of the object, including the shape type of the object. The shape type of the object can be pre-set, for example, based on the ratio range of the length, width, and height of the object as a whole. For example, for objects such as passbooks, paper documents, and relatively flat banknotes, the overall shape is "sheet-like", that is, the overall ratio of the length, width, and height belongs to the first predetermined ratio range. Therefore, the control unit 536 in the drive device 106 determines that the shape type of the object belongs to the first shape type, that is, it determines that the shape attributes of the object meet the first predetermined condition. Accordingly, the control unit 536 in the drive device 106 controls the first switch K1 to close. It should be understood that when both slot doors 104 are in a closed state (that is, both micro switches 164 are closed), the ultraviolet disinfection device 182 is driven to disinfect or sterilize the object. For another example, for an object such as a stack of coins, a package, or an irregularly shaped object (e.g., one with a hollow structure), the overall shape does not belong to a "sheet-like" shape, that is, the overall ratio of its length, width, and height does not belong to the first predetermined ratio range. Therefore, the control unit 536 in the drive device 106 determines that the shape type of the object does not belong to the first shape type, that is, it determines that the shape attribute of the object meets the second predetermined condition. Accordingly, the control unit 536 in the drive device 106 controls the second switch K2 to close in order to drive the ultrasonic atomization disinfection device 184. In some embodiments, if the control unit 536 in the drive device 106 determines that the shape attribute of the object meets the second predetermined condition, it drives the ultraviolet disinfection device 182 and the ultrasonic atomization disinfection device 184 sequentially or simultaneously to disinfect or sterilize the object.

[0059] In this solution, the delivery slot 500 can drive the corresponding disinfection device based on the shape type of the object, so as to achieve targeted disinfection operations, thereby achieving a good disinfection effect. For example, for objects such as passbooks, paper documents, and relatively flat banknotes, which are in a "thin sheet" shape as a whole, a good disinfection effect can be achieved by using the ultraviolet disinfection device 182. In addition, for passbooks, paper documents, and relatively flat banknotes, it is not suitable to use the ultrasonic atomization disinfection device 184, and only the ultraviolet disinfection device 182 can be used for disinfection. For objects such as a stack of coins, a package, or objects with irregular shapes (such as those with hollow structures, etc.), the ultrasonic atomization disinfection device 184 can be used to comprehensively disinfect, for example, gaps and hollow structures therein; the ultraviolet disinfection device 182 and the ultrasonic atomization disinfection device 184 can also be used in combination to achieve disinfection.

[0060] In some embodiments, the driving device 106 is configured to drive the ultraviolet disinfection device 182 and the ultrasonic atomization disinfection device 184 in a predetermined order. For example, the driving device 106 first drives the ultraviolet disinfection device 182 and then drives the ultrasonic atomization disinfection device 184. For another example, the driving device 106 first drives the ultrasonic atomization disinfection device 184 and then drives the ultraviolet disinfection device 182. There may be a time period when the ultraviolet disinfection device 182 and the ultrasonic atomization disinfection device 184 are both turned on. In this solution, by combining the ultraviolet disinfection device 182 and the ultrasonic atomization disinfection device 184, a good disinfection effect can be achieved.

[0061] In some embodiments, the delivery slot 500 further includes a temperature sensor 534. The temperature sensor 534 is disposed in the receiving chamber and is used to detect the temperature of the object and provide the detected temperature to the driving device 106. The driving device 106 is further configured to shut down the disinfection device 108 in response to determining that the temperature of the object is greater than a predetermined temperature threshold. Figure 9 The temperature sensor 534 provides the detected temperature to the control unit 536 in the drive device 106. In response to determining that the temperature of the object is greater than a predetermined temperature threshold, the control unit 536 in the drive device 106 shuts down the disinfection device 108. The control unit 536 in the drive device 106 can shut down the disinfection device 108 by, for example, controlling the time delay relay 166 to be disconnected, or by disconnecting the first switch K1 and the second switch K2. For example, when a person passes an item through the delivery slot 500, such as when their hand enters the receiving chamber of the delivery slot 500, the temperature sensor 534 detects both the item in the receiving chamber and the person's hand as objects. Because the person's hand is within the receiving chamber, the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 534 will be greater than the predetermined temperature threshold. Consequently, the control unit 536 in the drive device 106 controls the first switch K1 and the second switch K2 to be disconnected. In this solution, even if the micro switch 164 is closed due to being triggered by mistake, it can ensure that the disinfection device 108 is turned off and will not be driven, thereby effectively preventing the disinfection device 108 from causing harm to relevant personnel.

[0062] It should be understood that the control unit 536 in the driving device 106 may have one or more processing units, including CPU (Central Processing Unit), FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit).
