Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bank counter technology, and specifically relates to a bank counter item transfer device. Background Technology
[0002] When bank customers conduct business, they usually do so at the counter. At the counter, there are pass-through slots for customers to hand over items. One type of pass-through slot is integrated with a PIN pad, meaning the PIN pad is built into the bottom of the slot, thus limiting the bottom to a flat surface. Customers can place items such as tickets, bank cards, passbooks, and cash into the slot. However, small coin transactions are sometimes necessary during business transactions. Small coins tend to stick to the bottom of the slot, making them difficult to remove, causing inconvenience for both staff and customers, and reducing the customer experience.
[0003] Therefore, there is a need to provide an improved technical solution that addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem that the integrated PIN pad transfer slot in the prior art is inconvenient for handling coins, and to provide a bank counter item transfer device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A bank counter item transfer device includes a trough with a flat bottom and a PIN pad at the bottom. It also includes a guide plate, a receiving box, and a calibrating arm. Two guide plates are positioned inside the trough, one end of each plate inclined towards the bottom. A vertical plate is positioned along the edge of each guide plate, forming a slide between the vertical plate and the corresponding wall of the trough. The receiving box is located on the same side as the guide plate within the trough, at the end of the slide, to receive coins sliding down the slide. The calibrating arm is located on the same side as the receiving box within the trough, one end of which is hinged to the receiving box, and the other end is rotatably connected to the trough, allowing the receiving box to be disengaged from the trough by rotating the calibrating arm.
[0007] In the bank counter item transfer device described above, preferably, the inclined ends of the two guide plates face opposite directions.
[0008] Preferably, the receiving box has a protruding post at the center of the side away from the slot;
[0009] The positioning arm is hinged to one end of the receiving box and has an extension collar. The extension collar is fitted around the outside of the protrusion, and the protrusion can move horizontally a certain distance along the inner ring of the extension collar.
[0010] The end of the protruding post is provided with a limiting block to prevent the extension collar from falling off.
[0011] Preferably, the groove body is provided with a positioning post corresponding to the positioning arm, and the end of the positioning arm away from the receiving box is rotatably connected to the positioning post through a bearing.
[0012] Preferably, the top of the trough is flanged, and the top of the side of the trough where the guide plate is located is provided with a notch.
[0013] Preferably, the groove is provided laterally on the groove body, the groove is on the same side as the notch, and the height of the groove does not exceed the notch;
[0014] The outside of the groove is provided with a receiving cavity corresponding to the slide groove.
[0015] Preferably, a baffle is provided at the opening of the groove, the height of the baffle corresponds to the sliding groove, and the baffle moves horizontally along the sliding groove.
[0016] Beneficial effects: This invention facilitates coin sliding by using a guide plate, prevents coins from falling off the guide plate during the slide by setting a vertical plate on the guide plate, collects the sliding coins by setting a receiving box at the end of the slide, and allows workers to quickly determine the position of the receiving box by using a positioning arm to ensure that the interface of the receiving box is correctly aligned with the end outlet of the slide, while also preventing the receiving box from shifting too much in the slot and causing misalignment between the interface of the receiving box and the end outlet of the slide. By hinged one end of the positioning arm to the receiving box and rotatably connected the other end of the positioning arm to the slot, the receiving box can be detached from the slot by rotating the positioning arm, making it easy for workers to quickly remove the coins from the receiving box.
[0017] In summary, this invention, without altering the original transfer slot structure, sets up two dedicated coin transaction channels within the slot, with them facing opposite directions, one towards the staff and the other towards the customer. This allows both staff and customers to quickly retrieve coins from the slot, improving the work efficiency of counter staff and enhancing customer service experience. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] A bank counter item transfer device, as described in the following example Figure 1The system includes a trough 1, the bottom of which is flat and the overall shape is an inverted trapezoid. A keypad 2 is embedded in the bottom of the trough 1. Embedding the keypad 2 in the trough 1 provides a better anti-peeping effect compared to placing it on the counter. The top of the trough 1 has an outward-curved edge design, which facilitates its installation at the bank counter window. A notch 11 is provided on the top side of the trough 1 where a guide plate 3 is fixed. This notch 11 is used to place bulletproof glass. A horizontal sliding groove is provided at the upper part of the trough 1. 12. The chute 12 is on the same side as the notch 11, and the position of the chute 12 is not higher than the notch 11. A baffle 14 is slidably provided at the opening of the groove 1. The baffle 14 can move along the direction of the chute 12. A roller can be provided at the end of the baffle 14. The roller is placed in the chute 12 to ensure that the side of the baffle 14 corresponding to its moving direction can fit against the groove 1. A receiving cavity 13 corresponding to the chute 12 is provided outside the groove 1. The receiving cavity 13 can prevent the baffle 14 from falling off the groove 1.
[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4It also includes: a guide plate 3, a receiving box 4, and a positioning arm 5. Two guide plates 3 are provided, correspondingly located on the left and right sides inside the slot 1. One end of one guide plate 3 is fixed to the front side of the slot 1, and the other end is inclined towards the bottom of the slot 1; one end of the other guide plate 3 is fixed to the rear side of the slot 1, and the other end is also inclined towards the bottom of the slot 1. The height of the guide plate 3 does not exceed the slide groove 12. A vertical plate 6 is erected upwards along the edge of the guide plate 3, forming a slide between the vertical plate 6 and the corresponding wall of the slot 1. This slide guides the coins, providing a dedicated coin transaction channel, facilitating staff and improving work efficiency. The receiving box 4 is placed at the end of the slide groove, with the end of the slide groove not lower than the interface of the receiving box 4. The interface of the receiving box 4 corresponds to the end outlet of the slide groove, ensuring that the coins can accurately slide into the receiving box 4. The receiving box 4 can be rectangular or bowl-shaped. One end of the positioning arm 5 is hinged to the middle of one side of the receiving box 4, connecting the receiving box 4 and the positioning arm 5. Simultaneously, it can rotate. A positioning post 10 is protruding inside the slot 1, corresponding to the other end of the positioning arm 5. The positioning post 10 is positioned to ensure that rotating the positioning arm 5 allows the receiving box 4 to be placed flat and level with the top of the slot 1. A bearing is fitted on the positioning post 10, allowing the other end of the positioning arm 5 to be rotatably connected to the positioning post 10 through the bearing. The positioning arm 5 allows staff to quickly determine the position of the receiving box 4, ensuring that the interface of the receiving box 4 corresponds correctly to the exit of the slide, and preventing the receiving box 4 from shifting significantly within the slot 1, which could cause the interface of the receiving box 4 to misalign with the end exit of the slide. By hinged one end of the positioning arm 5 to the receiving box 4 and rotatably connected to the positioning post 10 at the other end, the positioning arm 5 can be rotated to detach the receiving box 4 from the slot 1, making it easy for staff to quickly remove the coins from the receiving box 4. When there are many coins in the receiving box 4 and it is inconvenient to pour them out all at once, the receiving box 4 can be placed flat on the counter for staff to count.
[0030] In this embodiment, the inclined ends of the two guide plates 3 are set to face opposite directions. The purpose is to set up two dedicated coin transaction channels, with these two channels facing the counter staff and customers respectively. This allows both staff and customers to quickly retrieve coins from the slots, thereby improving the work efficiency of counter staff and the customer service experience. This solves the problem that existing integrated PIN pad transfer slots are inconvenient for retrieving coins. Furthermore, this transfer device does not damage the original structure of the existing transfer slots, is low in cost, easy to install, and highly practical.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3This embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 1. In order to ensure that the coin falls smoothly into the receiving box 4 along the guide plate 3, the distance between the receiving box 4 and the end outlet of the slide will be very small. In order to avoid the receiving box 4 and the guide plate 3 colliding during the rotation of the positioning arm 5, a protruding post 7 is provided on one side opposite to the two receiving boxes 4. The positioning arm 5 is hinged to one end of the receiving box 4 and is provided with a long extension collar 8. The extension collar 8 is sleeved on the outside of the protruding post 7. The diameter of the protruding post 7 is the same as the width of the inner ring of the extension collar 8. The protruding post 7 moves horizontally along the inner ring of the extension collar 8. A limiting block 9 is fixed at the end of the protruding post 7 to restrict the extension collar 8 from falling off.
[0033] In this embodiment, by setting an extension collar 8, the receiving box 4 can be moved horizontally back and forth a certain distance. In order to avoid the receiving box 4 from colliding with the guide plate 3 and being obstructed when the positioning arm 5 drives the receiving box 4 away from the groove 1, the receiving box 4 can be moved a certain distance away from the guide plate 3 first. When the receiving box 4 is placed back into the groove 1, the receiving box 4 can be pushed towards the guide plate 3 to ensure that the interface of the receiving box 4 corresponds to the end outlet of the slide, thereby improving the usage effect.
[0034] It is understood that the above description is merely exemplary and the embodiments of this application do not limit the scope of the application.
[0035] The above description is merely 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 shall be within the scope of protection of the pending claims of the present invention.
