Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a document recycling device and a recycling method thereof. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the automation of office work and the rise of self-service in banking and government counter services, manual labor is shifting to higher-value business processes. However, some lower-value counter services have not yet been automated, such as collecting documents and certificates on behalf of counter staff, which still largely requires manual processing. This is due to the diverse and complex nature of the types of documents to be collected, as well as the varied and complex operations required by customers and back-office staff. For example, collected documents include long, thin checks, perforated tax invoices, A5 and A4 paper, and various business vouchers (small, narrow, and thin paper), and documents may be folded or wrinkled. Customer operations involve unpredictable actions such as placing single sheets, stacking multiple sheets, placing them horizontally or vertically. Back-office staff operations include requirements such as retrieving tickets, ensuring documents are not mixed or stacked between customers, and accepting and returning unacceptable tickets. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device capable of collecting these types of documents. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a document recycling device that can conveniently recycle paper documents and is easy to use.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is: a file recycling device, comprising:

[0005] A rack, on which a storage compartment is provided;

[0006] The bracket is mounted on the frame;

[0007] The tray has an outlet at the front that is adapted to be opened or closed, the tray is slidably mounted on the bracket, the tray is adapted to temporarily store documents to be retrieved, and the tray is provided with a transfer component that contacts the documents on the tray and is adapted to be actuated to transfer the documents;

[0008] A pallet moving component, connected to the pallet to drive its movement, wherein the pallet has a temporary storage station and a reserved start station during movement; wherein...

[0009] When the tray moves from the retention start station to the temporary storage station, the transmission component is adapted to be activated to move the documents on the tray in the opposite direction, and the speed at which the transmission component moves the documents on the tray is greater than or equal to the speed at which the tray moves from the retention start station to the temporary storage station. Under the combined action of the transmission component and the tray, the documents on the tray move out of the tray's exit and fall into the retention bin.

[0010] Furthermore, to improve the stacking effect of documents on the tray, one end of the tray is hinged to the frame;

[0011] It also includes a swing lifting component, which is disposed between the other end of the frame and the bracket, and the swing lifting component is adapted to drive the other end of the bracket to rise and fall so as to drive the bracket to swing around the hinge.

[0012] Furthermore, the tray is provided with a gate suitable for opening or closing. When the tray moves to the retention start station, the gate is adapted to be actuated to open the outlet; when the tray is moving from the retention start station to the temporary storage station, the gate remains open at the outlet.

[0013] When the pallet is in the temporary storage position, the gate is adapted to be actuated to close the exit; when the pallet is moving from the temporary storage position to the retention start position, the gate remains closed at the exit.

[0014] Furthermore, the gate is hinged to the tray, and a first gate actuation structure and a second gate actuation structure are provided between the gate and the frame. The first gate actuation structure is adapted to actuate the gate to close the outlet when the tray is in the temporary storage position, and the second gate actuation structure is adapted to actuate the gate to open the outlet when the tray is in the retention start position.

[0015] Furthermore, the first gate actuation structure includes a top column disposed on the gate and a first lever disposed on the frame and in contact with the top column;

[0016] The second gate actuation structure includes a top column mounted on the gate and a second lever mounted on the frame and engaging with the top column.

[0017] Furthermore, a tension spring is provided between the gate and the tray.

[0018] Furthermore, the transmission component does not operate when the tray is located at the temporary storage station or during the process of moving from the temporary storage station to the retention start station.

[0019] Furthermore, the swing lifting component includes:

[0020] A lifting plate, with the other end of the bracket hinged to the lifting plate;

[0021] A lifting assembly connected to the lifting plate to drive the lifting plate to move up and down.

[0022] Furthermore, the transmission component includes:

[0023] Rotatably connected to the pulley axle assembly on the tray;

[0024] A transmission belt connected to the pulley shaft assembly;

[0025] A rotating assembly connected to the pulley shaft assembly to drive the pulley shaft assembly to rotate.

[0026] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes a one-way clutch, which is configured such that: during the process of the pallet moving component driving the pallet to move from the temporary storage station to the retention start station, the rotating assembly does not drive the transmission component to move; when the pallet moving component drives the pallet to move from the retention start station to the temporary storage station, the rotating assembly drives the transmission component to move the documents on the pallet in the opposite direction.

[0027] Furthermore, the rotating assembly also includes:

[0028] A rack is provided on the bracket;

[0029] The drive gear meshes with and rotatably connects to the rack on the tray;

[0030] A driven gear is installed on one of the pulley shafts in the pulley shaft assembly. The driven gear and the driving gear are connected in a transmission. The one-way clutch is located between the driven gear and the pulley shaft.

[0031] Furthermore, it also includes a paper feeding component that feeds documents onto a tray at a temporary storage station.

[0032] Furthermore, to prevent the paper from being ejected from the paper ejection unit from tilting up, a paper tail suppressing plate is provided above the tray in the temporary storage position and near the paper ejection port of the paper ejection unit, which is suitable for pressing down the ejected paper.

[0033] Furthermore, the paper discharge component includes:

[0034] Two rubber roller shafts are provided, with rubber rollers spaced apart on each shaft. The rubber rollers on one shaft are offset from those on the other shaft. The two rubber roller shafts are rotatably connected to the frame and are adapted to be driven to rotate.

[0035] This invention also introduces a method for recycling documents using a document recycling device, the method comprising the following steps:

[0036] Place the tray in the temporary storage position and arrange the documents into the tray;

[0037] Move the pallet forward to the designated starting station;

[0038] The pallet is moved backward from the initial storage station to the temporary storage station. During the movement, the transmission component is activated to move the documents on the pallet in the opposite direction. Under the combined action of the transmission component and the pallet, the documents on the pallet move out of the pallet's exit and fall into the storage bin.

[0039] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0040] 1. This invention applies a tray and a transmission component to a scanner. After scanning, the paper is fed onto the tray in the temporary storage station by the paper feeding component. The tray is then driven forward to the retention start station and then retracted from the retention start station to the temporary storage station. When the tray moves from the retention start station to the temporary storage station, the transmission component is activated to move the documents on the tray in the opposite direction. At the same time, the speed at which the transmission component moves the documents on the tray is limited to be greater than or equal to the speed at which the tray moves from the retention start station to the temporary storage station. Thus, the documents on the tray move out of the tray's exit and fall into the retention compartment under the combined action of the transmission component and the tray, thereby achieving the retention of documents.

[0051] To make the content of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0052] like Figures 1-10 As shown, a file recycling device includes:

[0053] Frame 1, with a storage compartment 11 on it;

[0054] Bracket 2 is mounted on frame 1;

[0055] Tray 3, with an outlet at the front suitable for being opened or closed, tray 3 is slidably mounted on bracket 2, tray 3 is suitable for temporarily storing documents to be recycled, and tray 3 is provided with a transmission component 4 that contacts the documents on tray 3 and is suitable for being actuated to transfer documents;

[0056] Pallet moving component 5 is connected to pallet 3 to drive pallet 3 to move. Pallet 3 has a temporary storage station and a reserved start station during the movement.

[0057] When the tray 3 moves from the retention start station to the temporary storage station, the transmission component 4 is adapted to be activated to move the documents on the tray 3 in the opposite direction, and the speed at which the transmission component 4 moves the documents on the tray 3 is greater than or equal to the speed at which the tray 3 moves from the retention start station to the temporary storage station. Under the combined action of the transmission component and the tray 3, the documents on the tray 3 move out from the exit of the tray 3 and fall into the retention bin 11.

[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown, one end of the bracket 2 is hinged to the frame 1;

[0059] The document recycling equipment also includes a swing lifting component 6, which is disposed between the other end of the frame 1 and the bracket 2. The swing lifting component 6 is adapted to drive the other end of the bracket 2 to rise and fall so as to drive the bracket 2 to swing around the hinge.

[0060] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the swing lifting component 6 can specifically have the following structure, including:

[0061] The other end of the bracket 2 is hinged to the lifting plate 61;

[0062] A lifting assembly connected to the lifting plate 61 to drive the lifting plate 61 to move up and down.

[0063] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the lifting assembly includes a lifting motor 62 and a synchronous belt pair 63. The synchronous belt pair 63 includes a synchronous pulley set rotatably connected to the frame 1 and a synchronous belt connected to the synchronous pulley set. The lifting plate 61 is connected to the synchronous belt. The lifting motor 62 is connected to the synchronous pulley set to drive the synchronous pulley set to rotate. Specifically, the lifting motor 62 drives the synchronous pulley set to rotate, the synchronous pulley set drives the synchronous belt to move, and the synchronous belt drives the lifting plate 61 to move up and down, thereby driving the other end of the bracket 2 to move up and down, thus realizing the swinging of the bracket 2 around the hinge.

[0064] In this embodiment, the tray 3 is normally tilted (the rear end of the tray 3 is connected to a swing lifting component 6). The tilt angle can be adjusted by the swing lifting component 6 to suit different stacking states and make the stacks aligned at the tail end. Generally, the larger the tilt angle, the neater the stacking. However, if it is too large, it will obstruct the paper discharge. Here, the tilt angle can be adjusted by adjusting the lifting height of the swing lifting component 6.

[0065] In this embodiment, a transfer component 4 is provided on the tray 3, and the paper is stacked on the transfer component 4. When scanning and receiving the paper, the transfer component 4 is stationary.

[0066] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the document recycling equipment also includes a paper feeding component 8 that feeds documents onto a tray 3 at a temporary storage station.

[0067] In this embodiment, it is applied to the scanner 10. After scanning, the paper is discharged to the tray 3 of the temporary storage station by the paper discharge component 8. Then, the tray 3 is driven forward to the retention start station. Then, the tray 3 is driven to retract from the retention start station to the temporary storage station. When the tray 3 moves from the retention start station to the temporary storage station, the transmission component 4 is adapted to be activated to drive the document on the tray 3 to move in the opposite direction. At the same time, the speed at which the transmission component 4 drives the document on the tray 3 to move is limited to ≥ the speed at which the tray 3 moves from the retention start station to the temporary storage station. Thus, the document on the tray 3 moves out of the tray 3's outlet and falls into the retention bin 11 under the combined drive of the transmission component 4 and the tray 3. This achieves the retention of the document paper.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, the paper discharge component 8 can specifically have the following structure, including:

[0069] Two rubber roller shafts 81 are provided, and rubber rollers 81a are respectively provided on the two rubber roller shafts 81 at intervals. The rubber rollers 81a on one rubber roller shaft 81 are misaligned with the rubber rollers 81a on the other rubber roller shaft 81. The two rubber roller shafts 81 are rotatably connected to the frame 1 and are suitable for being driven to rotate.

[0070] In this embodiment, the rubber roller shaft 81 is driven to rotate by a rubber roller rotation drive mechanism. Specifically, the rubber roller rotation drive mechanism can be a rotary drive motor 82, an output gear 83, a driving rotation gear 84, and a driven rotation gear 85. The output gear 83 is connected to the output shaft of the rotary drive motor 82. The driving rotation gear 84 meshes with the output gear 83 and with the driven rotation gear 85. The driving rotation gear 84 is connected to one of the rubber roller shafts 81, and the driven rotation gear 85 is connected to the other rubber roller shaft 81. Specifically, the rotary drive motor 82 drives the output gear 83 to rotate, the output gear 83 rotates, the driving rotation gear 84 rotates, and the driving rotation gear 84 then drives the driven rotation gear 85 to rotate, thereby driving the two rubber roller shafts 81 to rotate and realize paper discharge.

[0071] When the paper is discharged from the scanner 10, the paper head triggers the sensor between the paper discharge component and the scanner 10, and the rotary drive motor 82 starts to rotate, driving the rubber roller shaft 81 to rotate and transport the paper out. The paper discharge component in this embodiment has the following effects: 1) It will not pull the paper. Under normal circumstances, if the paper discharge component discharges the paper at a fixed speed or in a common paper feeding method, it will inevitably pull the paper, which may damage the scanner 10 or cause image distortion; 2) The paper is output straight. The cross-shaped rather than meshing rubber rollers 81a will make the paper discharge in a wavy shape (the paper is wavy from the discharge direction). The rigidity of the paper in the discharge direction is greatly enhanced, so it will not be discharged softly.

[0072] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, at least one paper tail suppressing plate 20 is provided above the tray 3 in the temporary storage position and near the paper discharge port of the paper discharge component 8, which is suitable for pressing down the discharged document paper. The paper tail suppressing plate 20 has the following advantages:

[0073] 1) After the paper is discharged, the paper tail separates from the rubber roller 81a. The paper tail suppressing plate 20 presses the paper down, so that the paper tail quickly separates from the rubber roller 81a, preventing the paper head of the next sheet from contacting and hitting the paper tail, causing stacking disorder.

[0074] 2) To prevent the paper from drifting far away, since the paper is discharged straight, it will inevitably drift forward (like a paper airplane). The paper tail restraint plate 20 helps to restrain the paper and prevent it from drifting forward.

[0075] In this embodiment, the paper tail suppressing plate 20 can be an elastic metal sheet that is snapped onto the corresponding part; of course, in some embodiments, the paper tail suppressing plate 20 can be a flexible plastic sheet that is pasted onto the corresponding part; when the paper is discharged, it pushes the plastic sheet to deform, and when the paper tail detaches, the plastic sheet restores its deformation, pressing the paper down and suppressing the paper from rushing forward.

[0076] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, the pallet 3 is provided with a gate 31 that is suitable for opening or closing. When the pallet 3 moves to the storage start position, the gate 31 is suitable for being actuated to open the exit; when the pallet 3 is in the process of moving from the storage start position to the temporary storage position, the gate 31 remains in the state of opening the exit.

[0077] When the pallet 3 is in the temporary storage position, the gate 31 is adapted to be actuated to close the exit; when the pallet 3 is moving from the temporary storage position to the retention start position, the gate 31 remains in the closed exit state.

[0078] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the gate 31 is hinged to the tray 3. A first gate actuation structure and a second gate actuation structure are provided between the gate 31 and the frame 1. The first gate actuation structure is adapted to actuate the gate 31 to close the outlet when the tray 3 is in the temporary storage position. The second gate actuation structure is adapted to actuate the gate 31 to open the outlet when the tray 3 is in the retention start position.

[0079] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first gate actuation structure may specifically include a top column 31a disposed on the gate 31 and a first lever disposed on the frame 1 and in contact with the top column 31a.

[0080] The second gate actuation structure may specifically include a top column 31a installed on the gate 31 and a second lever installed on the frame 1 and in contact with the top column 31a.

[0081] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, a tension spring 7 is also provided between the gate 31 and the tray 3.

[0082] In this embodiment, the gate 31 can be held in place by the tension spring 7;

[0083] As the tray 3 moves outward (i.e., from the temporary storage station to the retention start station), when it approaches the retention start station, the top column 31a hits the second lever on the frame 1, which drives the gate 31 to rotate and open, and keeps it open under the action of the tension spring 7.

[0084] When the tray 3 retracts (i.e., during the process of moving from the storage start station to the temporary storage station), since it does not hit the top column 31a, the gate 31 will not rotate, thus maintaining the open state and allowing the paper on the tray 3 to tip out.

[0085] When the pallet 3 arrives at the temporary storage position, the top column 31a strikes the first lever at the reset position, the gate 31 rotates and closes, and is held in place by the tension spring 7.

[0086] When tray 3 is in the temporary storage station or in the process of moving from the temporary storage station to the retention start station, the transmission component 4 does not operate.

[0087] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the pallet moving component 5 can specifically have the following structure, including:

[0088] The system includes a movable drive motor 53 and a lead screw and nut assembly. The movable drive motor 53 drives the lead screw in the lead screw and nut assembly to rotate. The nut block in the lead screw and nut assembly is connected to the tray 3, thereby driving the tray 3 to move back and forth via the movable drive motor 53. Of course, in some embodiments, the tray moving component 5 can also be a linear guide rail. In some embodiments, the tray moving component 5 can also be a movable synchronous pulley assembly driven by the movable drive motor 53. The synchronous belt in the movable synchronous pulley assembly is connected to the tray 3. The movable drive motor 53 drives the movable synchronous pulley group in the movable synchronous pulley assembly to rotate, and the movable synchronous pulley group then drives the synchronous belt to move. The back-and-forth movement of the synchronous belt can drive the tray 3 to move back and forth.

[0089] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the transmission component 4 can specifically have the following structure, including:

[0090] Rotatably connected to the pulley shaft assembly 41 on the tray 3;

[0091] A transmission belt 42 connected to the pulley shaft assembly 41;

[0092] A rotating assembly connected to the pulley shaft assembly 41 to drive the pulley shaft assembly 41 to rotate.

[0093] In this embodiment, specifically as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the rotating assembly includes a one-way clutch, which is configured such that: during the process of the pallet moving component 5 driving the pallet 3 to move from the temporary storage station to the retention start station, the rotating assembly does not drive the transmission component 4 to move; when the pallet moving component 5 drives the pallet 3 to move from the retention start station to the temporary storage station, the rotating assembly drives the transmission component 4 to move the documents on the pallet 3 in the opposite direction.

[0094] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the rotating component also includes:

[0095] Rack 51 is mounted on bracket 2;

[0096] The drive gear 52 meshes with and rotates on the tray 3, which is connected to the rack 51.

[0097] A driven gear 54 is installed on one of the pulley shafts in the pulley shaft assembly 41. The driven gear 54 and the driving gear 52 are connected in a transmission manner. A one-way clutch is provided between the driven gear 54 and the pulley shaft.

[0098] Specifically, the driving gear 52 is coaxially connected to the intermediate gear 55, which meshes with the driven gear 54.

[0099] In this embodiment, when the tray 3 moves forward, the drive gear 52 rotates, the transition gear 55 rotates, and the driven gear 54 rotates as well. However, due to the one-way clutch, the pulley shaft does not rotate, so the transmission belt 42 does not move. When the tray 3 moves backward, the rack 51 drives the drive gear 52 to rotate in the opposite direction. Through a series of transmissions, the driven gear 54 rotates. Due to the locking of the one-way clutch, the pulley shaft rotates, so the transmission belt 42 can move.

[0100] Of course, in some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the transmission component 4 can be equipped with its own power source, that is, the rotating component includes a geared motor 43, a reduction gear 44 mounted on the geared motor 43, and a drive reduction gear 45 set on one of the pulley shafts of the pulley shaft assembly 41. The geared motor 43 drives the reduction gear 44 to rotate, and the reduction gear 44 drives the drive reduction gear 45 to rotate, thereby driving the pulley shaft assembly 41 and the transmission belt 42 to rotate.

[0101] like Figures 7-10 As shown, the specific working process of the file recycling device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0102] 1) The swing lifting component 6 raises the lifting plate 61 to its highest position, at which point the tilt angle of the tray 3 is at its maximum. Figure 7 As shown;

[0103] 2) The pallet 3 is moved forward to the maximum position (i.e., the starting position) by the action of the pallet moving component. During the movement, the transmission component 4 does not move.

[0104] 3) When tray 3 is in the initial storage position, the top post 31a of gate 31 abuts against the second lever on frame 1, and gate 31 rotates to open, opening the opening, as shown. Figure 8 As shown;

[0105] 4) such as Figure 9As shown, tray 3 retracts. During the retraction process, the rack 51 drives the gear 52 to rotate, and the direction at this time is the locking direction of the one-way clutch. Therefore, it can drive the conveyor belt 42 to rotate counterclockwise. As a result, the paper on tray 3 will retract with tray 3, while the conveyor belt 42 moves forward. It is equivalent to the paper remaining in place (displaced relative to tray 3) and falling into the retention bin 11. At this time, the paper is neatly stacked and there is no pushing of the paper. This can achieve the following effect: because there is no pushing action, the paper of different sizes will not change its original relative position. That is, the neatness and stacking order of the paper after scanning and falling onto tray 3 will be maintained in the same state during retention. Of course, in the above process, the paper can also move forward relative to tray 3.

[0106] 5) such as Figure 10 As shown, when it retracts to the temporary storage position, the paper has completely detached and the tray 3 has finished storing. At this time, the first lever is struck, the tension spring 7 is tightened to close and hold the gate 31, the tray 3 is reset, and the next process can proceed.

[0107] Specifically, the document recycling device in this embodiment is used on scanner 10, and the specific process is as follows:

[0108] 1. Place the document in the scanner tray;

[0109] 2. Check if the system is ready. If the system is ready, execute the scan command and simultaneously raise tray 3 (tilt it at an angle).

[0110] 3. After the document is scanned, it is sent to the tray 3 via the paper feeding component 8. The documents are stacked with their tails aligned on the tray 3. The host computer analyzes the scanned image and performs analysis on the document.

[0111] Once the host computer approves the document, it issues a retention instruction to save the file.

[0112] 1) Move tray 3 diagonally downwards;

[0113] 2) After moving to the set position, the gate 31 strikes the contact point, opening the gate 31 and keeping it open.

[0114] 3) The tray 3 retracts, and at the same time, the conveyor belt 42 on the tray 3 moves forward proportionally (that is, the absolute position of the paper on the tray 3 does not change), and the documents on the tray 3 will be neatly stacked (with the tails aligned) in the storage compartment 11.

[0115] 4) The tray 3 returns to the reset point, the gate 31 strikes the contact, closing the gate 31 and keeping it closed;

[0116] If the host computer does not approve the document, it will issue a return command to return the file to the user.

[0117] 1) Tray 3 returns to horizontal position;

[0118] 2) Tray 3 moves backward while simultaneously opening the safety latch;

[0119] 3) The safety door of tray 3 is opened by pushing it, and the tray continues to move to the preset distance outside the machine;

[0120] 4) When tray 3 approaches the preset distance, the document will be lifted up for easy retrieval by the user;

[0121] 5) When the user takes the document, tray 3 retracts to the reset position and the safety latch locks;

[0122] 6) When a user forgets to take the document, the document will remain on tray 3 after 60 seconds (configurable). Tray 3 will then retract into the machine to protect the document (the document can be taken out again depending on permissions). At the same time, the status will be reported to the host computer.

[0123] The device is reset, ready, and reports its status to the host computer.

[0124] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the present invention. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
