[0048] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference signs represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary, only for explaining the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0049] The following description refers to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-5 A money box provided by an embodiment of the present application is described below, which comprises a box body 110, a cover plate 120, a money pressing plate 130, a first elastic reset structure 140 and a limiting structure 150.

[0050] The box 110 has a containing cavity 111 for containing banknotes. The material of the box 110 includes, but is not limited to, stainless steel, aluminum alloy or titanium alloy.

[0051] The cover plate 120 is pivotally installed on the box 110 and is used for closing the containing cavity 111. The material of the cover plate 120 includes, but is not limited to, stainless steel, aluminum alloy or titanium alloy.

[0052] It can be understood that one side of the box 110 is provided with an opening which is in communication with the containing cavity 111, and the cover plate 120 closes the containing cavity 111 by closing the opening.

[0053] The banknote pressing plate 130 is slidably arranged in the containing cavity 111. The material of the banknote pressing plate 130 includes, but is not limited to, stainless steel, aluminum alloy or titanium alloy.

[0054] It can be understood that the banknote is arranged between the top of the containing cavity 111 and the top of the banknote pressing plate 130, thereby playing a role of pressing and fixing the banknote, so that the banknotes in the containing cavity 111 can be neatly stacked.

[0055] One end of the first elastic reset structure 140 is installed in the box 110, and the other end is connected with the banknote pressing plate 130, and is used for driving the banknote pressing plate 130 to always approach the top of the containing cavity 111. The first elastic reset structure 140 includes, but is not limited to, a connected tension spring and a rotating wheel which is used for changing the direction of elastic deformation of the tension spring and the direction of the elastic force. In the embodiment, the banknote pressing plate 130 is provided with a lap joint groove on the surface close to the inner wall of the box 110, and one end of the tension spring is hooked and matched with the lap joint groove. Of course, in other embodiments, the connection mode of the tension spring and the banknote pressing plate 130 includes, but is not limited to, threaded connection or clamping cooperation and the like.

[0056] It can be understood that when there is no banknote in the containing cavity 111, that is, the banknote pressing plate 130 is attached to the top of the containing cavity 111, the first elastic reset structure 140 is in a free state or an elongated state; when the container cavity starts to store banknotes, that is, the banknote is arranged between the top of the containing cavity 111 and the banknote pressing plate 130, the first elastic reset structure 140 is in an elongated state, and as more banknotes are stored, the first elastic reset structure 140 will continue to be elongated, and thus the deformation amount of the first elastic reset structure 140 will be larger, so as to always apply a force to the banknote pressing plate 130 to approach the top of the containing cavity 111 in the process of storing the banknotes, and thus the banknote pressing plate 130 always approaches the top of the containing cavity 111, so as to ensure the pressing and fixing effect of the banknotes.

[0057] The limiting structure 150 is movably installed on the box body 110 and is used for locking or unlocking the banknote pressing plate 130. When the banknote pressing plate 130 slides to the bottom of the accommodating cavity 111, the limiting structure 150 is locked with the banknote pressing plate 130. The material of the limiting structure 150 includes but is not limited to stainless steel, aluminum alloy or titanium alloy.

[0058] It can be understood that when the banknotes in the accommodating cavity 111 need to be taken out, the staff opens the cover plate 120, operates the banknote pressing plate 130 to slide to the bottom of the accommodating cavity 111 from the opening, and locks the banknote pressing plate 130 by using the limiting structure 150, so that the banknote pressing plate 130 is always kept stationary during the process of taking out the banknotes, and the situation that the banknote pressing plate 130 slides and approaches the top of the accommodating cavity 111 under the action of the elastic restoring force of the first elastic restoring structure 140 is avoided. When the banknotes are taken out, the banknote pressing plate 130 is unlocked by the limiting structure 150, so that the banknote pressing plate 130 slides under the action of the elastic restoring force of the first elastic restoring structure 140 until the banknote pressing plate 130 is attached to the top of the accommodating cavity 111, so that the cash box can start to store banknotes again.

[0059] According to the cash box provided in the embodiment of the application, when the banknote pressing plate 130 slides to the bottom of the accommodating cavity 111, the banknote pressing plate 130 is locked by the limiting structure 150, which not only facilitates and efficiently takes out the banknotes, but also effectively prevents the banknote pressing plate 130 from sliding upward under the action of the elastic restoring force of the first elastic restoring structure 140 during the process of taking out the banknotes, thereby improving the safety of the cash box.

[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cash box further includes a lock body structure 180, which is arranged on the cover plate 120 and is used for unlocking or locking the box body 110, so as to ensure the safety of the cash box. It should be noted that the specific structure of the lock body structure 180 can be designed according to actual conditions, and the embodiment does not make a specific limitation on this.

[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3 to 5 The limiting structure 150 includes an abutting portion 151 and a second elastic restoring structure 152. The abutting portion 151 is rotatably arranged in the box body 110 between a first position and a second position. The abutting portion 151 is adapted to be locked with the banknote pressing plate 130 in the first position and is adapted to be unlocked with the banknote pressing plate 130 in the second position. One end of the second elastic restoring structure 152 is installed in the box body 110, and the other end is connected with the abutting portion 151 and is used for driving the abutting portion 151 to rotate from the second position to the first position.

[0062] In the embodiment, as shown in Figures 2 to 5As shown, the box 110 further comprises a partition plate 112 for separating the inner cavity of the box 110 into a containing cavity 111 and a placing cavity 113 distributed along the X direction, the abutting portion 151 is rotatably arranged on the partition plate 112 around the X axis, and two ends of the second elastic reset structure 152 are respectively connected with the abutting portion 151 and the partition plate 112. The first elastic reset structure 140, the abutting portion 151, the second elastic reset structure 152 and part of the banknote pressing plate 130 are located in the placing cavity 113, and there is a clearance distance between the partition plate 112 and the banknote pressing plate 130 along the Y direction, so that the banknote pressing plate 130 can reciprocate in the containing cavity 111 along the Z direction while avoiding contact with the partition plate 112. The second elastic reset structure 152 includes but is not limited to a spring.

[0063] It can be understood that when it is necessary to take out the banknotes in the containing cavity 111, the staff opens the cover plate 120, and operates the banknote pressing plate 130 to slide to the bottom of the containing cavity 111 from the opening. The abutting portion 151 is in contact with the banknote pressing plate 130 at the first position and rotates counterclockwise under the action of the pressure generated by the banknote pressing plate 130 until the two are separated. At this time, the banknote pressing plate 130 is located below the abutting portion 151 and there is a certain gap between the two, that is, the banknote pressing plate 130 is in an unlocked state, and the abutting portion 151 is located at the second position. Then, the staff releases his hand (that is, cancels the external force applied to the banknote pressing plate 130), and the banknote pressing plate 130 moves upward under the action of the rebound force of the first elastic reset structure 140, while the abutting portion 151 rotates clockwise under the action of the rebound force of the second elastic reset structure 152. When the abutting portion 151 rotates back to the first position, the banknote pressing plate 130 is just in contact with the abutting portion 151, thereby making the banknote pressing plate 130 and the abutting portion 151 automatically lock, so as to facilitate the staff to take out the banknotes from the containing cavity 111.

[0064] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate understanding, Figure 4 The direction indicated by the arrow at A in the figure is the clockwise direction.

[0065] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 The abutting portion 151 is provided with a hook block 1511, and when the abutting portion 151 is at the first position, the hook block 1511 protrudes out of the partition plate 112 and is placed on the sliding path of the banknote pressing plate 130. The banknote pressing plate 130 is provided with a hook groove, and the hook groove and the hook block 1511 are hooked and matched to realize the locking and matching of the abutting portion 151 and the banknote pressing plate 130. It should be noted that when the abutting portion 151 is at the second position, as long as the hook block 1511 does not interfere with the normal sliding of the banknote pressing plate 130, the shape and position of the hook block 1511 and the corresponding hook groove are not limited in the embodiment.

[0066] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3 to 5As shown, the limiting structure 150 further comprises at least one release plate 153, which is located in the accommodating cavity 111 and is mounted on the box body 110 and moves synchronously with the abutting portion 151. The release plate 153 at least partially extends out of the box body 110 when the abutting portion 151 is in the first position, and is accommodated in the box body 110 and abuts against the cover plate 120 when the abutting portion 151 is in the second position.

[0067] It can be understood that, in order to avoid the situation that the banknotes are scattered in the accommodating cavity 111 after the banknotes are taken out from the accommodating cavity 111 and the abutting portion 151 and the banknote pressing plate 130 are locked, the release plate 153 moves synchronously with the abutting portion 151, that is, when the abutting portion 151 is in the first position and is locked with the banknote pressing plate 130 after the cover plate 120 is opened, the release plate 153 at least partially extends out of the box body 110, so that when the staff intends to close the cover plate 120, the release plate 153 extending out of the box body 110 abuts against the cover plate 120, so that the cover plate 120 and the box body 110 cannot be closed, thereby playing a reminding role.

[0068] When it is necessary to unlock the banknote pressing plate 130, the staff presses the banknote pressing plate 130 again to separate the hook block 1511 and the hook groove to unlock the banknote pressing plate 130, and the abutting portion 151 moves to the second position. During the movement of the banknote pressing plate 130 upward to approach the top of the accommodating cavity 111 under the action of the rebound force of the first elastic reset structure 140, the release plate 153 is subjected to an action force, so that the abutting portion 151 moving synchronously with the release plate 153 offsets the rebound force of the second elastic reset structure 152 by using the action force, to ensure that the abutting portion 151 is always in the second position when the banknote pressing plate 130 reaches the top of the accommodating cavity 111, the release plate 153 is accommodated in the box body 110 to realize the normal closing of the cover plate 120 and the box body 110, and the cover plate 120 and the release plate 153 abut against each other to ensure that the action force is continuously applied to the release plate 153 during the use of the cash box to accommodate banknotes, so that the abutting portion 151 is always in the second position, thereby ensuring the normal sliding of the banknote pressing plate 130 along the Z direction during the accommodation of banknotes.

[0069] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in order to realize the synchronous movement of the abutting portion 151 and the release plate 153 and make the overall structure more compact, the limiting structure 150 further comprises a connecting rod 154 and a transmission portion 155. The connecting rod 154 is rotatably mounted in the box body 110 and the release plate 153 is sleeved on the connecting rod 154. One end of the transmission portion 155 is sleeved on the connecting rod 154 and is spaced apart from the release plate 153, and the other end is in sliding abutment with the abutting portion 151.

[0070] It is understood that in this embodiment, the connecting rod 154 is located in the receiving cavity 111, and one end of the connecting rod 154 passes through the partition 112 and extends into the placement cavity 113. The transmission part 155 is located in the placement cavity 113. That is, when the abutting part 151 rotates from the first position to the second position in a counterclockwise direction around the X-axis, the other end of the transmission part 155 and the abutting part 151 slide against each other, thereby driving the other end of the transmission part 155 and the connecting rod 154 to rotate in a counterclockwise direction around the X-axis, thereby causing the release plate 153 sleeved on the connecting rod 154 to rotate in a counterclockwise direction around the X-axis. When the abutment part 151 rotates clockwise around the X-axis from the second position to the first position, one end of the transmission part 155 slides against the abutment part 151, thereby driving the other end of the transmission part 155 and the connecting rod 154 to rotate clockwise around the X-axis, and then causing the release plate 153 sleeved on the connecting rod 154 to rotate clockwise around the X-axis.

[0071] In this embodiment, to achieve sliding contact between the abutment part 151 and the transmission part 155, a slider 1512 is provided at the end of the abutment part 151 away from the hook block 1511, and a slider that cooperates with the slider 1512 is provided in the transmission part 155. The side of the slider that contacts the slider 1512 is an arc surface to ensure that the two are always in contact and the contact is stable. It should be noted that the shapes of the abutment part 151 and the transmission part can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, multiple release plates 153 are provided, and these multiple release plates 153 are spaced apart along the X-axis on the connecting rod 154 to improve the uniform force distribution on the connecting rod 154 and thus ensure smooth rotation. It should be noted that "multiple" includes two or more.

[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in order to further improve the automation of the entire cash box and reduce staff operation, the cash box also includes an operation unit 160. The operation unit 160 protrudes from the side of the cover plate 120 near the box body 110 and abuts against the release plate 153. It is used to drive the abutment part 151 to rotate from the first position to the second position when the cover plate 120 is closed on the box body 110.

[0074] It can be understood that after the staff takes out the banknote from the containing cavity 111, at this time the abutment portion 151 is in the first position and is locked with the pressing plate 130, the release plate 153 partially extends out of the box body 110, when the staff closes the cover plate 120, the operating portion 160 first abuts against the release plate 153, and then the pressure generated in the process of closing the cover plate 120 is transmitted to the release plate 153 through the operating portion 160, and then the release plate 153 drives the connecting rod 154 to rotate counterclockwise, and the abutment portion 151 is always rotated counterclockwise through the transmission portion 155 to make the abutment portion 151 stay in the second position.

[0075] It should be noted that before the abutment portion 151 is always rotated counterclockwise to make the abutment portion 151 stay in the second position, it is necessary to first apply downward pressure to the pressing plate 130 by artificial means or by using other mechanical structures (such as the pressing rod of the banknote collection structure) to separate the pressing plate 130 and the abutment portion 151, so that the abutment portion 151 can be rotated from the first position to the second position, and the pressing plate 130 is moved to the top of the containing cavity 111 under the action of the elastic restoring force of the first elastic restoring structure 140.

[0076] In the embodiment, the operating portion 160 and the cover plate 120 are integrally formed to ensure the stability of the structure and the uniformity of force transmission.

[0077] In some embodiments, the side of the operating portion 160 in contact with the release plate 153 is provided as an arc surface to ensure the stability of the abutment between the two, avoid stress concentration in the contact part of the two, enhance the mechanical properties of the operating portion 160, and prolong the service life of the cover plate 120 and the limiting structure 150.

[0078] In some embodiments, the side of the release plate 153 close to the cover plate 120 is provided as an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is inclined towards the direction close to the pressing plate 130. It can be understood that by providing the inclined surface and inclining the inclined surface towards the direction close to the pressing plate 130, the abutment of the operating portion 160 is guided to ensure that the release plate 153 more smoothly drives the connecting rod 154 to rotate counterclockwise after the abutment.

[0079] In the embodiment, when the abutment portion 151 is in the first position, the inclined surface is inclined from top to bottom towards the direction close to the pressing plate 130, and when the abutment portion 151 is in the second position, the inclined surface is inclined from bottom to top towards the direction close to the pressing plate 130, so as to ensure that when the operating portion 160 and the release plate 153 abut against each other, the contact between the inclined surface and the arc surface can reduce the external force required for the rotation of the connecting rod 154 as much as possible and improve the smoothness of the rotation. It should be noted that the inclination angle of the inclined surface can be designed according to actual conditions, and the embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0080] In some embodiments, in order to realize the sliding installation of the money pressing plate 130 in the accommodating cavity 111, the money box further comprises a sliding structure 170, which is arranged in the box body 110 and connected with the money pressing plate 130, and is used for realizing the reciprocating sliding of the money pressing plate 130 in the Z direction in the accommodating cavity 111.

[0081] In the embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figures 3 to 5 The sliding structure 170 comprises at least one rack 171 and a toothed portion 172. The rack 171 is installed in the accommodating cavity 111, and the length of the rack 171 extends in the Z direction. The toothed portion 172 is installed on the money pressing plate 130, and the toothed portion 172 corresponds to the rack 171 one by one and is engaged with each other. That is, through the engagement of the rack 171 and the toothed portion 172, the money pressing plate 130 is realized to slide up and down on the rack 171 through the toothed portion 172. Of course, in other embodiments, the sliding structure 170 can also comprise at least one matched sliding block and sliding groove. The sliding block is arranged in one of the accommodating cavity 111 and the money pressing plate 130, and the sliding groove is arranged in the other one of the accommodating cavity 111 and the money pressing plate 130, and the sliding groove extends in the Z direction, i.e. the vertical direction.

[0082] In the embodiment, in order to ensure that the money pressing plate 130 can slide smoothly in the Z direction, at least one toothed portion 172 is arranged on the two side walls of the money pressing plate 130 in the X direction. Of course, the toothed portion 172 can also be arranged on the side of the money pressing plate 130 away from the entrance, and the distribution and number of the toothed portion 172 and the corresponding rack 171 are not limited in the embodiment.

[0083] In some embodiments, the top end of the box body 110 is provided with a money inlet, which is communicated with the top of the accommodating cavity 111, that is, the banknotes are inserted into the accommodating cavity 111 through the money inlet to realize the accommodation of the banknotes. It can be understood that the shape and size of the money inlet can be designed according to the actual situation, and the embodiment does not make specific limitation.

[0084] The working process of the whole money box is as follows:

[0085] In the normal use of the money box to store banknotes, the cover plate 120 and the box body 110 are overlapped, the operation part 160 and the release plate 153 are abutted, the abutted part 151 is in the second position, the money pressing plate 130 is in the unlocked state, i.e. slides up and down in the accommodating cavity 111 and cooperates with the first elastic reset structure 140 to realize the neat stacking of the banknotes in the accommodating cavity 111;

[0086] When the banknote needs to be taken out from the money box, the cover plate 120 is opened, at this time, the abutting portion 151 rotates from the second position to the first position under the action of the elastic restoring force of the second elastic restoring structure 152 because the operating portion 160 and the release plate 153 are not abutted, the staff member slides the banknote pressing plate 130 to the bottom of the accommodating cavity 111 from the opening, the abutting portion 151 is in contact with the banknote pressing plate 130 at the first position and rotates counterclockwise under the action of the pressure generated by the banknote pressing plate 130 until the two are separated, at this time, the banknote pressing plate 130 is located below the abutting portion 151 and there is a certain gap between the two, that is, the banknote pressing plate 130 is in the unlocked state, the abutting portion 151 is located at the second position, then, the staff member releases the hand (that is, cancels the external force applied to the banknote pressing plate 130), the banknote pressing plate 130 moves upward under the action of the elastic restoring force of the first elastic restoring structure 140, at the same time, the abutting portion 151 rotates clockwise under the action of the elastic restoring force of the second elastic restoring structure 152, when the abutting portion 151 rotates back to the first position, the banknote pressing plate 130 is just in contact with the abutting portion 151, that is, the hook block 1511 and the hook groove are hooked to realize the locking of the banknote pressing plate 130;

[0087] When the banknote is taken out from the accommodating cavity 111, because the abutting portion 151 is at the first position and is locked with the banknote pressing plate 130, the release plate 153 partially extends out of the box body 110, the staff member presses the banknote pressing plate 130 again to make the hook block 1511 and the hook groove separate, then closes the cover plate 120, the operating portion 160 abuts against the release plate 153 first, and then the pressure generated in the process of closing the cover plate 120 is transmitted to the release plate 153 through the operating portion 160, so that the release plate 153 drives the connecting rod 154 to rotate counterclockwise, and the abutting portion 151 is always rotated counterclockwise through the transmission portion 155 to make the abutting portion 151 stay at the second position, so that the hook block 1511 is away from the sliding route of the banknote pressing plate 130, so that the banknote pressing plate 130 slides to the top of the accommodating cavity 111 under the action of the elastic restoring force of the first elastic restoring structure 140, so as to start the subsequent storage of the banknote again.

[0088] The embodiment of the present application also provides a financial self-service equipment, which comprises a banknote collecting structure and the money box.

[0089] It can be understood that when the banknote enters the accommodating cavity 111 from the banknote inlet, the banknote collecting structure controls the banknote pressing plate 130 to move downward through the banknote pressing rod thereof, when the banknote is placed on the banknote pressing plate 130, the pressure applied to the banknote pressing plate 130 by the banknote pressing rod is cancelled, so that the banknote pressing plate 130 moves upward under the action of the first elastic restoring structure 140, and then the banknote pressing plate 130 and the top of the accommodating cavity 111 press the banknote tightly.

[0090] The financial self-service device includes, but is not limited to, an automatic teller machine (ATM) for realizing cash withdrawal and deposit, bank card balance inquiry, and fund transfer between accounts.

[0091] According to the financial self-service device provided by the embodiment of the application, when the money pressing plate 130 of the money box slides to the bottom of the accommodating cavity 111, the money pressing plate 130 is locked and matched by the limiting structure 150, so that the banknotes can be conveniently and efficiently taken out, and the safety of the money box can be improved.
