Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coin storage technology in bank branches, and specifically relates to a coin storage device for bank branches. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the circulation of coins at bank branches remains substantial, especially in large and small supermarkets and stores, which have a high demand for coins to provide change services and meet the needs of automated checkout systems. Therefore, the circulation of coins remains an indispensable part of the current market.

[0003] When bank branches submit the collected coins to the central vault, the vault requires that the coins be separated by denomination and rolled into rolls of fifty coins each before submission. This undoubtedly increases the workload of bank branches. The traditional way bank branch staff handle this is to first classify the coins by denomination, then count the coins according to the standard roll of fifty coins each, and finally manually roll the counted coins into rolls. This is extremely labor-intensive and time-consuming, and inevitably, errors in the count will occur during the coin counting process, resulting in a significant decrease in work efficiency and quality.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide an improved technical solution that addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or a detachable connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through intermediate components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] 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.

[0031] Example 1: This example aims to provide a coin storage device for bank branches. Its main function is to facilitate the storage of coins and to allow the stored coins to be taken out in batches of fifty without manual counting, effectively reducing the consumption of manpower and time, and significantly improving the work efficiency and quality of bank employees.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 The device includes: a support platform 1, a base 3, a storage rack, and a coin holder 10. The support platform 1 is a semi-circular platform. The support platform 1 is supported by a column 2 and is located directly above the base 3. The lower end of the column 2 is fixed to the middle of the base 3, and the upper end of the column 2 is fixed to the center of the support platform 1. The upper end of the column 2 passes through the support platform 1 and protrudes upward. A coaxial arc plate 4 is provided at the edge of the upper platform of the support platform 1. The top of the arc plate 4 protrudes towards its own axis to form a retaining edge 5. The surface of the retaining edge 5 has four notches 6 distributed in a ring. The four notches 6 are respectively arranged at the left and right ends and the middle of the retaining edge 5. The top opening of the notches 6 is widened to facilitate the falling of foreign objects into the notches 6.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The storage rack includes three pairs of storage cylinders 7 and lifting rods 8. The three storage cylinders 7 are erected on the left side of the column 2 and are evenly distributed along the diameter of the support platform 1. The length of the cylinder cavity of each storage cylinder 7 is exactly the thickness of 150 coins, and the length of the storage cylinder 7 can be increased to accommodate 50 coins, thus expanding its cavity capacity. The upper end of the storage cylinder 7 is fixed to the lower surface of the support platform 1, and three coin dropping holes 9 are provided on the surface of the support platform 1 corresponding to the cavities of the three storage cylinders 7, allowing bank employees to insert coins of the same size and amount into the storage cylinder 7 through the coin dropping holes 9. Each storage cylinder 7 has a corresponding lifting rod 8 at its bottom, which is erected on the top of the base 3. The upper part of the lifting rod 8 extends into the lower cavity of the corresponding storage cylinder 7, ensuring that the lifting rod 8 does not detach from the storage cylinder 7. Simultaneously, the lifting rod 8 can move up and down along the cavity of the storage tube 7. The lower end of the lifting rod 8 is fixed with a lifting plate 13, which is placed flat on the upper surface of the base 3. The right end of the lifting plate 13 is fitted onto the outside of the column 2 so that the lifting plate 13 can move axially along the column 2. A threaded column 14 is rotatably provided on the right side of the upper surface of the base 3. A handwheel is fixed at the top of the threaded column 14. The bottom of the threaded column 14 is connected to the base 3 through a bearing. The threaded column 14 is located on the right side of the column 2, corresponding to the storage tube 7. The right end of the lifting plate 13 is threaded together with the threaded column 14 so that the lifting plate 13 can be moved upward along the column 2 by rotating the threaded column 14 through the handwheel. Then, the lifting rod 8 is raised by the lifting plate 13, and the coins in the storage tube 7 are pushed out by the rising of the lifting rod 8.

[0034] A crossbar 11 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the column 2. A collar is fixed to the right end of the crossbar 11. By fitting the collar onto the column 2, the crossbar 11 can rotate around the column 2 as the center above the support platform 1. A limiting block 12 is provided at the upper end of the column 2 to prevent the crossbar 11 from detaching from the column 2 and to prevent accidental operation by the operator. The left end of the crossbar 11 is located below the retaining edge 5 and corresponds to the notch 6 at the leftmost end of the retaining edge 5. Three coin-holding cylinders 10 are provided at the bottom of the crossbar 11. The depth of the coin-holding cylinders 10 is exactly the thickness of fifty coins of the same specification and denomination stacked together. The lower openings of the three coin-holding cylinders 10 correspond to three coin drop holes 9. The diameters of the coin-holding cylinders 10, coin drop holes 9, and storage cylinders 7 are all the same. During actual operation, the lifting plate 13 is raised by rotating the threaded column 14, thereby raising the lifting rod 8. Move the coin holder upwards along the cavity of the storage tube 7. At this time, the worker should press down on the crossbar 11 to prevent it from moving upwards under force. Continue until the rotation of the threaded rod encounters resistance, indicating that the coin holder 10 is full of coins. Next, rotate the crossbar 11 clockwise until it moves to below the rightmost notch 6 of the stop 5. Then, move the crossbar 11 upwards above the stop 5 using the notch 6. Rotate the crossbar 11 counterclockwise until it moves to above the leftmost notch 6 of the stop 5. At this point, the crossbar 11 can fall down below the stop 5 using the notch 6, so that the coin holder 10 re-contacts the support 1 and aligns with the coin drop hole 9. Repeat this process twice more to completely remove the coins from the storage tube 7. It should be noted that the final position of the coins moved through the coin holder 10 should be from right to left, stopping sequentially according to the positions of the notches 6. The order should not be disrupted.

[0035] In this embodiment, the baffle 5 is used to prevent the crossbar 11 from moving upwards due to improper force applied by the operator during the movement of the crossbar. If the crossbar 11 moves upwards, the coins at the bottom of the coin holder 10 will inevitably leak out and not move with the coin holder 10, but will stop on the support 1 midway, which will cause unnecessary trouble and reduce work efficiency. Both the coin holder 10 and the storage tube 7 are made of transparent acrylic material, which makes it convenient for the operator to observe the stacking state of the coins in the storage tube 7 and the coin holder 10, ensuring the normal use of the device.

[0036] This device facilitates the collection of coins of the same size and denomination. When the collected coins need to be submitted to the central vault, the device can retrieve fifty coins at once, eliminating the need for bank staff to spend excessive time counting each coin individually. This reduces manpower and time consumption, significantly improves work efficiency, and ensures that there are no errors in the final counting of each roll of coins, thus guaranteeing work quality and bringing great convenience to bank branches.

[0037] Example 2 is basically the same as Example 1, except that, to further reduce the difficulty of operating the device and ensure that no unnecessary trouble occurs due to the operator's unstable hand strength during use, and to avoid the problem of increased workload due to operator error, please refer to the following for details. Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The curved plate 4 has a limiting hole 15 corresponding to the notch 6 on its surface. That is, the limiting hole 15 corresponds to the middle position of the notch 6. A telescopic core rod 16 is provided at the left end of the crossbar 11. At the same time, the left end of the crossbar 11 also has a slot 17 that matches the core rod 16. The core rod 16 is located in the slot 17. The rear end of the core rod 16, i.e. the right end, has a finger plate 18 protruding upward. The finger plate 18 passes through the top opening of the crossbar 11 and expands the part of the slot 17 corresponding to the top opening of the crossbar 11 radially outward to increase the diameter for placing the spring 19. The spring 19 is fitted on the rear end of the core rod 16. The spring 19 presses the finger plate 18 against the front end of the top opening of the crossbar 11, thereby popping the front end of the core rod 16 out of the slot 17 to insert into the limiting hole 15.

[0038] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the retractable core rod 16 and the limiting hole 15, on the one hand, when the lifting rod 8 moves upward, the operator no longer needs to apply pressure to the crossbar 11, and on the other hand, it is convenient for the operator to quickly find the specific position of the notch 6, thus reducing the overall difficulty of operation for the operator and providing great convenience. The purpose of setting the finger plate 18 is to facilitate the operator to move the crossbar 11 while also controlling the extension and retraction of the core rod 16 with the thumb or other fingers, further improving the ease of use of this device and making it easier to operate.

[0039] It is understood that the above description is merely exemplary and the embodiments of this application do not limit the scope of the application.

[0040] 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.
