Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automation, in particular to an automatic currency dispensing and packaging assembly line suitable for multiple currencies. BACKGROUND

[0002] Recently, the willingness of the public to travel abroad is increasing, and the demand for foreign currency notes is considerable. Whether it is the foreign currency inventory needed by the branch on the same day or the fixed amount of change bag provided to individuals, the foreign currency dispensing pressure on the vault side is great. The existing dispensing mode is mainly manual, with a small desktop dispensing machine, and the collection, packaging and other operations are realized by manual work. The efficiency is low, the staff is relatively old, the work intensity is high, and the error probability is quite large.

[0003] Regarding the foreign currency dispensing assembly line, there are multiple designs on the market that have been implemented. For example, the invention patent "Mechanical arm and multiple currency dispensing and delivery assembly line" applied by Weirong Technology Co., Ltd. The dispensing assembly line designed by the patent transports a stack of banknotes from the core dispensing port to the packaging equipment for plastic packaging through a mechanical arm on a slide rail, and then vertically stacks the plastic packaged banknotes for sorting. One mechanical arm of the dispensing assembly line is responsible for the banknote receiving task of 8 cores, which is driven by a linear slide rail. This way is extremely low in efficiency and slow in beat, and at the same time, one mechanical arm can only be responsible for the transportation of one stack of banknotes. After the core dispensing is completed, the work state cannot be saturated. For example, the invention patent "Foreign currency automatic dispensing and packaging system" applied by Qingdao Rich Food Machinery Co., Ltd. only supports the plastic packaging of banknotes output by the same dispensing machine into a stack, that is, the order of one branch or one customer is split into multiple small packages, and finally the small packages are sorted by manual sorting to put one order into a larger package. The dispensing assembly line mode is relatively cumbersome, and it needs to be packed in small packages first and then in large packages. If the dispensing order comes from a certain branch of a certain network, the network staff needs to unpack the package layer by layer for counting, and the same problem also exists for private orders. Such dispensing process and mode will consume a large amount of packaging materials, greatly increasing the cost of vault operation; and for the receiving side, the counting is cumbersome and the user experience is poor.

[0020] Reference Figs. 1-3 As shown in the drawings, the present application provides an automatic banknote distribution and packaging assembly line suitable for multiple currencies, which comprises a banknote distribution device (1), a conveying line body (2), a truss mechanical arm (3), a buffer device (4), a pushing device (5), a bagging machine (6), and a controller. The banknote distribution device (1) comprises four banknote distribution machines (11), wherein every two banknote distribution machines are placed back to back, and the center lines of the banknote outlet of the two banknote distribution machines opposite to each other coincide. The conveying line body (2) is erected above the interval passage between the two banknote distribution machines. The truss mechanical arm (3) spans the two banknote distribution machines (11) and is erected on the conveying line body (2). The pushing device (5) is connected with the conveying line body (2) through the buffer device (4), and the pushing device (5) is connected with the opening position of the bagging machine (6). The controller is electrically connected with the banknote distribution device (1) and sends a banknote distribution order to the banknote distribution device (1).

[0021] In this way, the control system simultaneously issues multiple banknote distribution orders, and the multiple banknote distribution machines (11) contained in the banknote distribution device (1) simultaneously respond to distribute the existing banknotes in the respective machine bodies, which are output through the banknote outlet above the banknote distribution machine (11). The truss mechanical arm (3) receives a dispatching signal and moves from the initial position to the position above the banknote outlet of the banknote distribution machine (11). After the truss mechanical arm reaches the position above the banknote outlet, the banknotes are placed on the conveying line body (2), and the banknotes are conveyed to the buffer device (4) through the conveying line body (2). Then, the pushing device (5) pushes the banknotes into the bagging machine (6).

[0022] As an optional embodiment, the banknote distribution machine (11) comprises five banknote channels, four of which are banknote outlet channels, and one of which is a banknote return channel. A partition is arranged in the middle of each banknote channel, so that at most two types of banknotes are stored in each banknote channel.

[0023] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2 The truss manipulator (3) comprises a truss support (31), a Y-axis sliding rail (32), a Y-axis sliding block (33), a Z-axis linear sliding rail (34), a Z-axis sliding block (35), a rotary joint (36), and an electric clamping jaw (35).

[0024] The truss support (31) spans the opposite banknote dispensers (11), the Y-axis sliding rail (32) is arranged on the truss support (31) in the Y-axis direction, the protrusion of the Y-axis sliding block (33) is clamped in the Y-axis sliding rail (32), and the Y-axis sliding block (33) can slide left and right on the Y-axis sliding rail (32); the Z-axis linear sliding rail (34) is arranged on the Y-axis sliding block (33), the Z-axis sliding block (35) is slidably arranged on the Y-axis sliding block (33), the rotary joint (36) is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the Y-axis sliding block (33), the electric clamping jaw (35) is fixedly arranged on the rotary joint (36), and the banknote arranging box (38) is connected to the edge of the conveying line body (2) through a rotating shaft. In other embodiments, an electric push rod and an electric cylinder can also be used as a driving mechanism.

[0025] In this way, after receiving the system scheduling instruction, the truss manipulator (3) moves from the initial intermediate position to above the banknote outlet of the banknote dispenser (11) along the Y-axis sliding rail (32), reaches the position above the banknote outlet, the Z-axis sliding block (35) extends downward along the Z-axis linear sliding rail (34), reaches the height of the banknote outlet, the rotary joint (36) rotates to a certain pitch angle, which is consistent with the inclined angle of the banknote in the banknote outlet, the electric clamping jaw (37) clamps the banknote in the banknote outlet, and according to the thickness of each banknote, the force feedback of the electric clamping jaw can realize accurate clamping. After successfully clamping the banknote, the Z-axis sliding block (35) retracts upward along the Z-axis linear sliding rail (34) and moves above the centerline of the assembly line along the Y-axis sliding rail (32), reaches above the banknote arranging box (38), the Z-axis sliding block (35) extends downward along the Z-axis linear sliding rail (34), the rotary joint (36) rotates to a certain pitch angle, which is consistent with the inclined angle of the banknote arranging box (38), the electric clamping jaw (37) is released, and the banknote naturally slides down to the banknote arranging box (38) through the slope.

[0026] When the banknotes in the banknote arranging box (38) are ready to enter the conveying line body (2), the banknote arranging box (38) rotates along a cylinder with the conveying line direction as the rotation axis, so that the bottom surface of the banknotes is horizontally placed, and the banknote arranging box (38) is driven along the gap slot provided on the back surface and the bottom surface of the banknote arranging box (38) by the detent on the conveying line body (2), and moves forward along the conveying line body (2).

[0027] As an optional embodiment, the buffer device (4) comprises a linear moving module (41), a buffer banknote box (42), and a plurality of banknote storage boxes (43); the buffer banknote box (42) is arranged directly below the terminal end of the conveying line body (2) so that the banknotes on the conveying line body (2) fall into the buffer banknote box (42) for buffering after sliding off the terminal end; the plurality of banknote storage boxes are fixedly arranged on the linear moving module (41) at fixed intervals; and the linear moving module (41) is arranged below the conveying line body (2) and the center line thereof coincides with the center line of the conveying line body (2).

[0028] In this way, when the banknotes move forward along the conveying line body (2) to the end of the line body, the banknotes naturally fall into the buffer banknote box (42), and after the falling is completed, the bottom surface of the buffer banknote box (42) adopts a double-door structure which is driven by a rudder and two doors are opened at the same time, and a stack of banknotes falls downward into one of the banknote storage boxes (43). Because the buffer device (4) comprises N banknote storage boxes (43), the number of orders that can be processed simultaneously by the pipeline is N, that is, each banknote storage box (43) is assigned to a corresponding order as a temporary storage space.

[0029] If the first stack of banknotes conveyed on the conveying line body (2) belongs to a first order, the linear moving module (41) is moved so that a certain banknote storage box (43) is butt-jointed with the buffer banknote box (42) to complete the banknote receiving action; if the second stack of banknotes conveyed on the conveying line body (2) belongs to a second order, the linear moving module (41) is moved so that another banknote storage box (43) is butt-jointed with the buffer banknote box (42) to complete the banknote receiving action; and so on.

[0030] In this embodiment, the banknote dispensing process has a buffering function, can process multiple orders simultaneously, and supports packaging all banknotes in one order into a single package without needing a large package to cover multiple small packages. This can greatly save materials, reduce operating costs, simplify the packaging method, and improve customer satisfaction.

[0031] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3 The pushing device (5) comprises a push rod support (51), a large push rod (52), and a small push rod (53); the push rod support (51), the large push rod (52), and the small push rod (53) are all installed on the linear moving module (41); the large push rod (52) and the small push rod (53) are installed on the push rod support (51) and the small push rod (53) is nested on the large push rod (52); and when the small push rod (53) is completely retracted into the large push rod (52), the small push rod (53) is completely fitted with the vertical plane of the large push rod (52).

[0032] In this way, when the orders in a certain banknote cassette (43) are completely collected, the banknote cassette (43) is moved along the linear moving module (41) to the opening position of the prefabricated bag of the bagging machine (6). The whole stack of banknotes is driven into the prefabricated bag by the large push rod (52) and the small push rod (53), and then the large push rod (52) is retracted, and the small push rod (53) pushes the whole stack of banknotes into the prefabricated bag.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the bagging machine is a prefabricated bag type bagging machine.

[0034] The principle of the prefabricated bag bagging machine is as follows: the bag taking mechanism takes a prefabricated bag of the same size from the bag stock bin and lays it on the packaging belt line, and the bottom surface of the bag contacting the belt line is longer than the upper surface by a certain length. This length is conveyed by the belt line and is pressed under a fixed structure to continue to move forward to the bagging position. Above the bagging position, the bag opening mechanism composed of multiple suction cups lifts the upper surface of the bag upward to achieve the effect of opening the bag. At the same time, the material pushing mechanism pushes the stack of banknotes into the bag at a certain position. After the action is completed, the material pushing mechanism is retracted, and the bag containing banknotes continues to move forward into the heat sealing mechanism. At the same time, the exhaust pressure rod is driven by the cylinder to exhaust the excess air in the bag, and the heat sealing cutter falls to seal the bag opening and cut off the excess length of the bottom surface of the prefabricated bag. After this step is completed, the heat transfer printing equipment or the code attaching equipment assigns a code to the bag material, and the bagging and packaging process is completed. In other embodiments, the bagging machine can also be a pillow type packaging machine, a reciprocating type packaging machine, and other types of packaging machines.

[0035] The banknote dispensing process in this embodiment is fully automatic and does not require manual intervention. Since the entire control trajectory process is calculated by the program, and the error of the linear slide and other mechanical structures is extremely low, there is almost no error situation. Only the required foreign currency banknote cassettes for the day need to be added by manual operation before the work starts on the day; the space utilization rate of the two sides of the assembly line is improved, and the space occupied is small. The modular design has good adaptability to different sites, and the number of banknote dispensing machines can be increased or decreased according to customer needs, the modification cost is low, and it is relatively flexible.

[0036] The above merely illustrates the specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
