Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an automatic banknote sorting device, belonging to the category of banknote sorting tools. Background Technology
[0002] Paper money circulates in large quantities in the market, and people generally deposit their surplus paper money into banks. This requires bank staff to count and sort the paper money. Currently, bank staff usually count the paper money manually or using a banknote counting machine, and then manually sort it into stacks and bundles. This manual sorting method of paper money requires a lot of manpower, is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic banknote sorting device to solve the problems of time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient manual banknote sorting in the prior art.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the automatic banknote sorting device involved in this invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic banknote sorting device, comprising:
[0005] Base;
[0006] The sorting rack has a base plate, a front clamping plate on the front side and a rear clamping plate on the back side, and a left baffle and a right baffle on the left and right sides of the base plate. The distance between the upper part of the left baffle and the right baffle is large and the distance between the lower part is small. The sorting rack is rotatably assembled with the base on the rear side.
[0007] Driven rotating shaft: The sorting rack is rotatably mounted on the base via the driven rotating shaft. The driven rotating shaft and the sorting rack are anti-rotatingly mounted. Both ends of the driven rotating shaft are engaged with the rotating shaft of the base.
[0008] Driven gear, the driven gear anti-rotation assembly is mounted on the driven shaft;
[0009] The driving gear meshes with the driven gear and is driven to rotate by a power unit. The driving gear is an incomplete gear.
[0010] The support part is assembled on the base. When the teeth of the driven gear and the driving gear separate and the sorting frame falls from a height, the support part cooperates with the front limit of the sorting frame.
[0011] The support part is a support rod, the lower part of which is slidably mounted on the base. There is an upward anti-detachment structure between the support rod and the base, and a downward elastic limit between the support rod and the base.
[0012] The aforementioned upward anti-detachment structure is a collar protruding on the support part. The upward stepped surface of the collar mates with the downward stepped surface on the base. A compression spring is sleeved on the part of the support part below the collar. The upper end of the compression spring presses against the downward stepped surface of the collar, and the lower end of the compression spring presses against the base.
[0013] The base is provided with a U-shaped frame, and the two free ends of the U-shaped frame are fixed to the base. The inner surface of the bottom wall of the U-shaped frame is the downward-facing stepped surface provided on the base.
[0014] Both the left and right baffles have a bent angular surface, and the lower parts of the left and right baffles are parallel to each other.
[0015] The front clamp has a notch extending vertically in the middle.
[0016] The rear clamp has a notch extending vertically in the middle.
[0017] The left and right sides of the rear clamp are connected to the left baffle and the right baffle, respectively.
[0018] The front sides of the left and right baffles extend to the front of the front clamp.
[0019] The power unit is an electric motor, which is connected to the drive gear transmission through a reduction system.
[0020] The automatic banknote sorting device of the present invention has a sorting frame with a base plate. The base plate has a front clamping plate on its front side and a rear clamping plate on its rear side. The left and right sides of the base plate have left and right baffles, with a larger distance between the upper parts of the left and right baffles and a smaller distance between their lower parts. A space for holding banknotes is formed between the front and rear clamping plates, allowing banknotes to be placed vertically parallel to the front and rear clamping plates. The two long sides of the banknotes are parallel to the front and rear clamping plates, while the two short sides are close to the left and right baffles. A power unit drives a drive gear to rotate, and a driven gear meshes with the drive gear for transmission. The sorting frame rises with the transmission of the driven gear. Because the drive gear is an incomplete gear, only one part can mesh with the driven gear, while the other part cannot. When the drive gear rotates to a position where it cannot mesh with the driven gear, the driven gear will not rotate with the drive gear. At this time, the sorting frame falls from a height and then hits the support part. Meanwhile, the banknotes held in the sorting rack fall under the left and right baffles due to inertia. The top and bottom edges of the banknotes are aligned by the impact of the bottom plates. The small distance between the lower parts of the left and right baffles further aligns the left and right edges of the banknotes, thus quickly forming a neat stack. Compared to manual sorting, this automatic banknote sorting device can quickly stack multiple banknotes, is simple and efficient, and saves time and labor.
[0021] The automatic banknote sorting device of the present invention has a protruding collar on the support part, and a compression spring is sleeved on the part of the support part below the collar. The upper end of the compression spring presses against the step surface facing downwards from the collar, and the lower end of the compression spring presses against the base. When the sorting frame falls from a height and hits the support part, it is subjected to the elastic force of the compression spring, and the sorting frame moves up and down reciprocally first and then stops. The banknotes clamped on the sorting frame will move up and down reciprocally with the sorting frame. During this process, the lower end of the banknotes clamped on the sorting frame repeatedly impacts the base plate due to inertia, thereby making the upper and lower ends of the banknotes more neat.
[0022] The automatic banknote sorting device of the present invention has a vertically extending notch in the middle of the front clamping plate and a vertically extending notch in the middle of the rear clamping plate. A stack of neatly sorted banknotes is located between the front and rear clamping plates. The robotic arm of the bundling machine that can be used with the automatic banknote sorting device can clamp the neatly sorted banknotes in their original state through the notches in the front and rear clamping plates and bundle them, which can further ensure the neatness of the bundled banknotes.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] To make the technical objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention; that is, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0032] A specific embodiment of the automatic banknote sorting device involved in this invention includes a base 1 at its bottom, a sorting frame 2 mounted on the base 1, a driven rotating shaft 3 between the sorting frame 2 and the base 1, the sorting frame 2 being rotatably mounted to the base 1 via the driven rotating shaft 3 at its rear, the driven rotating shaft 3 being anti-rotatingly mounted to the sorting frame 2, and both ends of the driven rotating shaft 3 engaging with the rotating shaft of the base 1; a driving rotating shaft 4 is rotatably mounted at the rear end of the base 1, and a driving gear 5 is anti-rotatingly mounted on the driving rotating shaft 4, the driving gear 5 being an incomplete gear, that is... The outer circumferential part of the driving gear 5 has teeth, and the other part is a smooth shaft surface. The driven shaft 3 is equipped with a driven gear 6, which is a complete gear. The driving gear 5 is driven to rotate by a motor (not shown in the figure). When the teeth of the driven gear 6 and the driving gear 5 are meshed, the driving gear 5 can drive the driven gear 6 to rotate. The shaft surface of the driving gear 5 faces the driven gear 6. That is, when the teeth of the driven gear 6 and the driving gear 5 are not meshed, the driving gear 5 cannot drive the driven gear 6 to rotate.
[0033] The bottom of the sorting rack 2 has a base plate 7. The front side of the base plate 7 has a front clamping plate 8, and the rear side has a rear clamping plate 9. The front clamping plate 8 and the rear clamping plate 9 are parallel. The left and right sides of the base plate 7 have a left baffle 10 and a right baffle 11. Both the left baffle 10 and the right baffle 11 have an angled surface that bends outwards from the sorting rack 2. The lower parts of the left baffle 10 and the right baffle 11 are parallel to each other, meaning that the distance between the upper parts of the left baffle 10 and the right baffle 11 is larger than the distance between their lower parts. The distance between the lower parts of the left baffle 10 and the right baffle 11 is slightly greater than the length of the long side of the banknotes to be sorted. A space for storing banknotes is formed between the front clamping plate 8, the rear clamping plate 9, the left baffle 10, the right baffle 11, and the base plate 7. When in use, the banknote can be placed vertically in the space, parallel to the front clamp 8 and the rear clamp 9, with the two long sides of the banknote parallel to the front clamp 8 and the rear clamp 9, and the two short sides of the banknote close to the left baffle 10 and the right baffle 11.
[0034] Two symmetrical support rods 12 are mounted on the base 1, positioned between the base 1 and the sorting frame 2. When the driven gear 6 meshes with the driving gear 5, the driving gear 5, under the action of the motor, drives the sorting frame 2 to rotate upwards around the driven shaft 3. "Upwards" refers to the side of the base plate 7 where banknotes are placed; the opposite side is the bottom. When the teeth of the driven gear 6 are disengaged from the teeth of the driving gear 5, the driving gear 5 cannot drive the sorting frame 2 to rotate. At this time, the sorting frame 2 falls from a height under gravity. Due to the limiting engagement between the support rods 12 and the front of the sorting frame 2, the sorting frame 2 impacts the support rods 12 after falling. Meanwhile, the banknotes held on the sorting rack 2 fall into the lower part of the left baffle 10 and the right baffle 11 due to inertia. The top and bottom ends of the banknotes become neat due to the impact of the base plate 7. Since the distance between the lower parts of the left baffle 10 and the right baffle 11 is slightly greater than the length of the long side of the banknotes to be sorted, the left and right ends of the banknotes are neatly locked by the lower parts of the left baffle 10 and the right baffle 11. Thus, the banknotes are quickly sorted into a neat stack, which is simple, efficient, time-saving and labor-saving.
[0035] Specifically, a collar 13 protrudes from the lower part of the support rod 12, and a compression spring 14 is fitted on the part of the support rod 12 below the collar 13. Under normal circumstances, the lower end face of the compression spring 14 is lower than the lower end face of the support rod 12. Alternatively, a hole can be provided on the base plate for the support rod 12 to extend out, so that the compression spring 14 does not need to be lower than the lower end face of the support rod 12. The above is the hidden technical content; otherwise, the elastic fit between the support rod and the base plate 7 cannot be achieved. A U-shaped frame 15 is provided on the base 1. The two free ends of the U-shaped frame 15 are fixed to the base 1. A through hole is opened on the bottom wall of the U-shaped frame 15. The diameter of the through hole is smaller than the diameter of the collar 13 but larger than the diameter of the support rod 12. The support rod 12 passes through the through hole. The collar 13 on the support rod 12 and the compression spring 14 sleeved on the support rod 12 are both located below the through hole. Thus, the lower part of the support rod 12 is slidably mounted on the base 1. The upper end of the compression spring 14 presses against the downward-facing stepped surface of the collar 13, and the lower end of the compression spring 14 presses against the base 1. Thus, the support rod 12 is prevented from moving upward by the upward-moving limit cooperation formed by the upward-facing stepped surface of the collar 13 and the downward-facing stepped surface formed by the inner surface of the bottom wall of the U-shaped frame 15, and the support rod 12 is elastically limited to move downward by the pressing action of the compression spring 14. When the sorting rack 2 falls from a height and hits the support rod 12, it is subjected to the elastic force of the compression spring 14. The sorting rack 2 moves up and down repeatedly before stopping. The banknotes stored on the sorting rack 2 will move up and down together with the sorting rack 2. During this process, the lower end of the banknotes stored on the sorting rack 2 repeatedly impacts the base plate 7 due to inertia, thereby making the upper and lower ends of the banknotes more neat.
[0036] Specifically, the left and right sides of the rear clamp 9 are connected to the left baffle 10 and the right baffle 11 respectively, and the front sides of the left baffle 10 and the right baffle 11 extend to the front of the front clamp 8. Thus, the banknotes being sorted are surrounded from five aspects—front, back, left, right, and bottom—by the front clamp 8, the rear clamp 9, the left baffle 10, the right baffle 11, and the bottom plate 7, which can further ensure the neatness of the sorted banknotes.
[0037] Specifically, the front clamp 8 has a vertically extending notch in the middle, and the rear clamp 9 also has a vertically extending notch in the middle, with the two notches positioned opposite each other. A neatly arranged stack of banknotes is located between the front clamp 8 and the rear clamp 9. The robotic arm on the bundling machine (not shown in the figure) used in conjunction with this automatic banknote sorting device can use the notches on the front clamp 8 and the rear clamp 9 to hold the neatly arranged banknotes in their original position and then bundle them, thus avoiding the banknotes being disordered when handling them and further ensuring the neatness of the bundled banknotes.
[0038] Specifically, the motor is connected to the drive gear 5 via a reduction system.
[0039] The motor and compression spring in this embodiment are commercially available parts.
[0040] In this embodiment, the left and right sides of the rear clamp are connected to the left baffle and the right baffle, respectively. In other embodiments, the left and right baffles can also extend to the rear of the rear clamp.
[0041] This embodiment provides a specific upward anti-detachment structure: a collar protrudes from the lower part of the support rod, and a U-shaped frame is provided on the base. The support rod is anti-detached from the base by the upward limiting cooperation between the upward stepped surface of the collar and the downward stepped surface formed by the inner surface of the bottom wall of the U-shaped frame. In other embodiments, other upward anti-detachment structures can also be used, where the support rod is anti-detached from the base in other ways, such as by an axially arranged groove on the upper part of the support rod and a protrusion on the through hole edge of the U-shaped frame.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only for illustration and not for limiting the technical solutions of the present invention. Any equivalent substitutions, modifications or partial substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
