[0073] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.

[0074] Reference below Figures 1-16 A cash box provided in an embodiment of the present application is described. The cash box is applied to a financial device and includes a box body 100 , a gate structure, and a lock body structure 300 .

[0075] The box body 100 forms a storage cavity having a first outlet 101, and the box body 100 is used to be installed on the frame body 700 of the financial device. It should be noted that the financial medium 900 can be stored in the storage cavity through the storage cavity. The connection method between the box body 100 and the frame body 700 includes but is not limited to threaded connection or snap connection. The materials of the box body 100 and the frame body 700 include but are not limited to hard plastic, stainless steel, aluminum alloy or titanium alloy. It should be noted that the size and shape of the box body 100, the frame body 700, the first outlet 101 and the storage cavity can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0076] It should be noted that financial media 900 includes but is not limited to banknotes, checks, bills, and gift certificates.

[0077] For ease of understanding, the financial device also includes a transmission mechanism 810 and a pushing mechanism 830. The housing 100 also forms a transmission channel connected to the storage chamber. The transmission channel has an entrance and a second exit 102 connected to the outside. The transmission mechanism 810 is installed on the housing 100. The transmission mechanism 810 is configured to drive the financial medium 900 into the transmission channel from the entrance and out from the second exit 102. The pushing mechanism 830 is installed on the housing 100. The pushing mechanism 830 is configured to drive the financial medium 900 located in the transmission channel from the first exit 101 into the storage chamber. Therefore, according to the classification requirements of the financial medium 900, the transmission mechanism 810 can be used to send the financial medium 900 currently in the transmission channel out of the second outlet 102 to transfer the financial medium 900 to the financial medium 900 collection device, or the pushing mechanism 830 can be used to push the financial medium 900 currently in the transmission channel through the first outlet 101 into the storage chamber for collection, thereby achieving the classification processing and collection of the financial medium 900, improving processing efficiency, expanding application scenarios, and increasing the flexibility of the use of the financial medium 900 processing device.

[0078] For example, the classification requirement may be the numerical value of the financial medium 900 and the type of the financial medium 900. It should be noted that the specific structures of the bracket, the transmission mechanism 810 and the pushing mechanism 830 are common structures in the art and are not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0079] The gate structure is movably disposed within the housing 100 and is located on a side of the housing 100 where the first outlet 101 is located. The gate structure may be made of, but is not limited to, hard plastic, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or titanium alloy. The connection between the gate structure and the housing 100 may include, but is not limited to, a rotating connection or a sliding connection.

[0080] It is understood that when it is necessary to remove the financial medium 900 from the storage chamber or when the pushing mechanism 830 delivers the financial medium 900 in the transmission channel into the storage chamber through the first outlet 101, the gate structure moves relative to the housing 100 away from the first outlet 101. When it is not necessary to operate the financial medium 900 in the storage chamber, the gate structure moves relative to the housing 100 toward the first outlet 101.

[0081] The lock body structure 300 is movably arranged on a side of the box body 100 away from the first outlet 101 between a first position and a second position. When the lock body structure 300 is in the first position, it is used to drive the gate structure to close the first outlet 101. When the lock body structure 300 is in the second position, it is used to drive the gate structure to open the first outlet 101.

[0082] It is understandable that since the lock structure 300 and the gate structure are located on both sides of the box body 100, on the one hand, when the lock structure 300 is operated to drive the gate structure to open the first outlet 101, the storage chamber cannot be directly observed from the first outlet 101, thereby improving the privacy of the cash box; on the other hand, it also increases the difficulty of removing the financial medium 900 from the storage chamber, thereby minimizing the possibility of misoperation and ensuring the safety of the cash box. It can also make the cash box adaptable to occasions that require special placement (for example, the first outlet 101 of the box body 100 is provided with a transmission mechanism 810 and a pushing mechanism 830) and specific operating specifications (for example, the access operation of the financial medium 900 must be performed in a place that is not visible when the lock structure 300 is operated), thereby maximizing the scope of use and improving the user experience.

[0083] According to the cash box provided in the embodiment of the present application, the privacy and security of the cash box are improved by arranging the lock body structure 300 and the gate structure on both sides of the box body 100. The cash box can also be adapted to occasions requiring placement in a special direction and specific operating specifications, thereby expanding the scope of use and improving the user experience as much as possible.

[0084] In some embodiments, as Figures 2 to 12 As shown, the gate structure includes two oppositely arranged door bodies 210; the cash box also includes two transmission structures, which are arranged in the box body 100 and connected to the door bodies 210 one by one; wherein the lock body structure 300 is simultaneously connected to one end of the two transmission structures away from the corresponding door body 210, so that the two door bodies 210 jointly close or open the first outlet 101.

[0085] It can be understood that by setting up two door bodies 210 to provide a more stable closing mechanism, the difficulty of illegal prying is increased. At the same time, since each door body 210 is equipped with a transmission mechanism to achieve synchronous movement of the two door bodies 210, the consistency of opening and closing of the first outlet 101 is ensured, the convenience and consistency of operation are improved, and it helps to improve the structural stability of the cash box.

[0086] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 to 10 As shown, the two door bodies 210 are arranged opposite to each other along a first horizontal direction, and the gate structure and the lock body structure 300 are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the box body 100 along a second horizontal direction. The first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0087] It should be noted that the first horizontal direction refers to the length direction of the box body 100 , and the second horizontal direction refers to the width direction of the box body 100 .

[0088] It is understood that the two doors 210 are arranged relative to each other along the first horizontal direction to ensure that the opening and closing of the two doors 210 are carried out on the same horizontal plane, which helps to simplify the design of the transmission mechanism and improve the smoothness of the movement of the doors 210. At the same time, the gate structure and the lock structure 300 are arranged relative to each other on both sides of the box body 100 along the second horizontal direction, which also helps to optimize the utilization of the internal space of the box body 100 and provide a more stable installation position for the lock structure 300 and the transmission mechanism, thereby improving the structural stability of the entire cash box.

[0089] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 to 10 As shown, the lock body structure 300 includes a drive gear 310 rotatably disposed within the housing 100, with the rotation axis of the drive gear 310 parallel to the first horizontal direction; a transmission structure includes a sliding member 410, a first reversing assembly 420, and a second reversing assembly 430. The first reversing assembly 420 is connected to the drive gear 310 and the sliding member 410, respectively, for converting the rotation of the drive gear 310 into reciprocating movement of the sliding member 410 along the first horizontal direction; the second reversing assembly 430 is connected to the sliding member 410 and the door body 210, respectively, for converting the reciprocating movement of the sliding member 410 along the first horizontal direction into reciprocating movement of the door body 210 along the second horizontal direction. The materials of the drive gear 310 and the sliding member 410 include, but are not limited to, hard plastic, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or titanium alloy.

[0090] It should be noted that, by rotating the driving gear 310 counterclockwise, the two sliding members 410 are respectively moved along the first horizontal direction toward the door body 210 under the action of the corresponding first reversing components 420, thereby driving the two corresponding second reversing components 430 to drive the two door bodies 210 to move along the second horizontal direction toward away from each other to open the first outlet 101; by rotating the driving gear 310 clockwise, the two sliding members 410 are respectively moved along the first horizontal direction toward away from the door body 210 under the action of the corresponding first reversing components 420, thereby driving the two corresponding second reversing components 430 to drive the two door bodies 210 to move along the second horizontal direction toward each other to close the first outlet 101.

[0091] It can be understood that the above operation achieves precise control over the movement of the two door bodies 210 while making the two transmission structures as close as possible to the inner side surfaces of the box body 100 that are relatively arranged along the second horizontal direction to avoid interference with the financial medium 900 in the storage cavity, saving space while maintaining the stability and reliability of the movement of the transmission structure. By converting the rotational motion into linear motion along the first horizontal direction and then into linear motion along the second horizontal direction, the transmission structure is made more complex, thereby enhancing the security of the cash box.

[0092] In some embodiments, as Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the lock body structure 300 also includes a lock core 320, which is arranged outside the driving gear 310 and partially extends to the outside of the box body 100. The cash box also includes a first operating part, which is detachably connected to the lock core 320. The first operating part is used to drive the lock body structure 300 to switch between the first position and the second position. The connection method between the lock core 320 and the first operating part includes but is not limited to plugging. The materials of the lock core 320 and the first operating part include but are not limited to hard plastic, stainless steel, aluminum alloy or titanium alloy. It should be noted that the shape and size of the lock core 320 and the first operating part can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0093] It is understood that when the first outlet 101 needs to be opened or closed, the first operating part is mounted on the lock core 320, and the driving gear 310 is rotated by screwing the first operating part. The detachable connection between the first operating part and the lock core 320 further improves the safety of the entire cash box.

[0094] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 to 10As shown, the first reversing assembly 420 includes a first driven gear set 421, two connected first racks 422, a second driven gear set 423 and a second rack 424. The input gear of the first driven gear set 421 is meshed with the driving gear 310 for transmission, and the rotation axis of the first driven gear set 421 is parallel to the first horizontal direction; the first rack 422 extends in the vertical direction, and one of the first racks 422 is meshed with the output gear of the first driven gear set 421 for transmission; the input gear of the second driven gear set 423 is meshed with the other first rack 422 for transmission, and the rotation axis of the second driven gear set 423 is parallel to the second horizontal direction; the second rack 424 is connected to the sliding member 410 and extends along the first horizontal direction, and the second rack 424 is meshed with the output gear of the second driven gear set 423 for transmission.

[0095] It can be understood that the driving gear 310 drives the input gear of the first driven gear set 421 to rotate along the first horizontal axis, and then drives the output gear of the first driven gear set 421 to rotate along the first horizontal axis and drives one of the meshed first racks 422 to move in the up and down directions, so that the input gear of the second driven gear set 423 is driven by the other first rack 422 to rotate along the second horizontal axis, and finally the second rack 424 drives the sliding member 410 to be driven by the output gear of the second driven gear set 423 to move along the first horizontal direction.

[0096] It should be noted that the rotation directions of the first driven gear set 421 and the second driven gear set 423 of the two transmission mechanisms are opposite, the moving directions of the first rack 422 of the two transmission mechanisms are opposite, and the moving directions of the second rack 424 of the two transmission mechanisms are the same.

[0097] In this embodiment, Figures 4 to 10 As shown, considering the size and manufacturing cost of the housing 100, the first driven gear set 421 includes a single gear, which serves as both the input gear and the output gear of the first driven gear set 421. The second driven gear set 423 includes three gears that mesh with each other in sequence. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of gears in each of the first driven gear set 421 and the second driven gear set 423 can be designed based on actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitations on this.

[0098] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 to 10As shown, the second reversing component 430 includes a third rack 431, a third driven gear set 432, a fourth rack 433 and a telescopic member 434. The third rack 431 is connected to the end of the sliding member 410 away from the first reversing component 420 and extends along the first horizontal direction; the input gear of the third driven gear set 432 is engaged with the third rack 431 for transmission, and the rotation axis of the third driven gear set 432 is parallel to the second horizontal direction; the fourth rack 433 is engaged with the output gear of the third driven gear set 432 for transmission and extends along the vertical direction; the fourth rack 433 is arranged on the telescopic member 434, and the telescopic member 434 is respectively connected to the box body 100 and the door body 210 to drive the door body 210 toward or away from the first outlet 101 along the second horizontal direction.

[0099] It can be understood that the sliding member 410 drives the input gear of the third driven gear group 432 to rotate along the second horizontal axis through the third rack 431, thereby driving the output gear of the third driven gear group 432 to rotate along the second horizontal axis and driving the meshing fourth rack 433 to move in the vertical direction, so that the telescopic member 434 is driven by the fourth rack 433 to change its length along the second horizontal direction, thereby driving the door body 210 to slide along the second horizontal direction.

[0100] It should be noted that the rotation directions of the third driven gear sets 432 of the two transmission mechanisms are opposite, the movement directions of the third racks 431 of the two transmission mechanisms are the same, and the movement directions of the fourth racks 433 of the two transmission mechanisms are opposite.

[0101] For ease of understanding, when the driving gear 310 rotates counterclockwise, the movement directions of the first rack 422, the sliding member 410, the fourth rack 433 and the door body 210 are as follows: Figure 5 The corresponding arrow direction is shown in the figure.

[0102] In this embodiment, Figures 4 to 10 As shown, considering the size and manufacturing cost of the housing 100, the third driven gear set 432 includes three gears that mesh with each other in sequence. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of gears in the third driven gear set 432 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0103] In some embodiments, as Figures 7 to 10As shown, the door body 210 is provided with a slide 211, which extends in the vertical direction; the telescopic member 434 includes a connecting member 4341 and at least one set of cross arms, and the fourth rack 433 is provided on the side of the connecting member 4341 away from the door body 210; the cross arms correspond one-to-one with the slide 211, and the cross arms include two cross-hinged connecting rods 4342, one of which is hinged to the door body 210 and the connecting member 4341 at both ends, and the other is hinged to the box body 100 at one end, and slidably engaged with the slide 211 at the other end. It should be noted that the shape and size of the slide 211 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0104] It is understood that the vertical movement of the fourth rack 433 drives the connecting member 4341 to move in the vertical direction, thereby driving the hinged joint of the two connecting rods 4342 in each cross arm to move, and driving the two connecting rods 4342 to rotate about the hinged joint, thereby causing one of the connecting rods 4342 to move in the vertical direction in the slide groove 211 while the door body 210 moves in the second horizontal direction. In other words, as the door body 210 moves in the slide groove 211, the length of the telescopic member 434 in the second horizontal direction also changes. If the door body 210 moves in a direction closer to the first exit 101, the length of the telescopic member 434 will extend; conversely, if the door body 210 moves away from the first exit 101, the length of the telescopic member 434 will shorten.

[0105] In this embodiment, Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the telescopic member 434 includes two groups of cross arms, and the two cross arms are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction to ensure the smooth movement of the door body 210. Of course, in other embodiments, one or more cross arms can also be provided, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0106] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 to 10 、 Figures 13 to 16 As shown, the box body 100 and the frame body 700 are detachably connected, and the cash box also includes a locking structure 500, which is movably arranged on the box body 100 and has a locked state and an unlocked state; wherein, when the lock body structure 300 is in the second position, the locking structure 500 is in the locked state and is suitable for being connected to the frame body 700, and when the lock body structure 300 is in the first position, the locking structure 500 is in the unlocked state and is suitable for being disengaged from the frame body 700.

[0107] It will be appreciated that the box body 100 is detachably connected to the frame body 700, thereby facilitating maintenance of the box body 100. When the lock structure 300 is in the second position, since the first outlet 101 is in an open state, the locking structure 500 is locked, thereby ensuring that the box body 100 is connected to the frame body 700, preventing the box body 100 from being removed from the frame body 700 and ensuring the stability and security of the cash box. When the lock structure 300 is in the first position, since the first outlet 101 is in a closed state, the locking structure 500 is unlocked, allowing the box body 100 to be separated from the frame body 700, facilitating the removal or replacement of the cash box while ensuring the security of the financial media 900 stored in the storage cavity.

[0108] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 to 10 、 Figures 13 to 16 As shown, the locking structure 500 includes a limiting column 510, a mounting member 520, a movable portion and an elastic member 540. The limiting column 510 is arranged on the lock body structure 300; the movable member 530 is movably arranged on the box body 100, and the movable member 530 is provided with a stopper 531 located outside the box body 100, and the stopper 531 is used to abut and cooperate with the frame body 700; one end of the elastic member 540 is connected to the box body 100, and the other end is connected to the mounting member 520 or the movable member A connection in 530 is used to drive the stopper 531 to always move away from the housing 100. When the lock structure 300 is in the second position, the limiting groove 521 and the limiting post 510 are engaged to ensure that the movable member 530 always abuts against the mounting member 520. When the lock structure 300 is in the first position, the limiting groove 521 and the limiting post 510 are disengaged, and the stopper 531 is adapted to move closer to or away from the housing 100. The elastic member 540 includes, but is not limited to, a tension spring.

[0109] It should be noted that the limiting post 510 is protruded from the driving gear 310 and the axis of the limiting post 510 is parallel to the first horizontal direction. The limiting groove 521 is provided along the first horizontal direction through one end of the mounting member 520. When the lock body structure 300 is in the first position, part of the inner wall of the limiting groove 521 abuts against part of the outer wall of the limiting post 510 to fix the driving gear 310 and the mounting member 520 relatively.

[0110] When the first operating part is operated to rotate the driving gear 310 counterclockwise, the two door bodies 210 move in directions away from each other to open the first outlet 101, and at the same time, the limiting post 510 moves synchronously to engage with the limiting post 510, so that the mounting member 520 and the box body 100 are relatively fixed, and the movable member 530 located in the box body 100 is always in contact with the mounting member 520, ensuring that the movable member 530 and the box body 100 are relatively fixed, that is, the stopper provided on the movable member 530 and located outside the box body 100 can always be in contact with the frame 700, avoiding the possibility that the box body 100 can be removed from the frame 700 when the first outlet 101 is opened; when the first operating part is operated to rotate the driving gear 310 clockwise, the two door bodies 210 move in directions close to each other to close the first outlet 1 01, and at the same time, the limit post 510 moves synchronously to disengage from the limit post 510, thereby allowing the mounting part 520 and the box body 100 to move relative to each other, and thus although the movable part 530 located in the box body 100 is in contact with the mounting part 520, the movable part 530 and the box body 100 can move relative to each other, that is, the movable part 530 located outside the box body 100 can be driven to move toward the part close to the box body 100, thereby driving the movable part 530 located in the box body 100 to drive the mounting part 520 to move in the box body 100, and at the same time, the stopper provided on the movable part 530 and located outside the box body 100 is disengaged from the frame 700, so that the box body 100 can be removed from the frame 700 when the first outlet 101 is closed; when the external force applied to the movable part 530 is removed, the stopper is reset under the action of the elastic part 540.

[0111] In this embodiment, Figures 4 to 10 、 Figures 13 to 16 As shown, the mounting member 520 is rotatably disposed in the box body 100 , and the rotation axis of the mounting member 520 is parallel to the first horizontal direction. The limiting groove 521 is located at one end of the mounting member 520 , and the other end of the mounting member 520 can abut and cooperate with the movable member 530 .

[0112] In this embodiment, the elastic member 540 is connected to the inner wall of the box body 100 and the mounting member 520 respectively.

[0113] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 to 10 、 Figures 13 to 16As shown, the movable member 530 is further provided with a second operating portion 532 spaced apart from the stop portion 531 along the first horizontal direction. The second operating portion 532 is moved toward the housing 100 along the second horizontal direction to drive the stop portion 531 toward the housing 100 and away from the frame 700. When the external force applied to the second operating member is removed, the second operating portion 532 is moved completely toward the housing 100 along the second horizontal direction under the action of the elastic member 540, driving the stop portion 531 away from the housing 100 and toward the frame 700. It should be noted that the shape and size of the stop portion 531 and the second operating portion 532 can be designed according to actual needs and are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0114] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 to 10 、 Figures 13 to 16 As shown, the inner side wall of the frame 700 is provided with a fitting 710, which abuts against the stopper 531. It should be noted that the shape and size of the fitting 710 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0115] In this embodiment, Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the opening 701 of the frame 700 is parallel to the first horizontal direction, and the fitting 710 is L-shaped, so that when the fitting 710 and the stop portion 531 are in abutment with each other, a limit is provided along the first horizontal direction, thereby preventing the box 100 from detaching from the frame 700 from the opening 701 when the first outlet 101 is opened.

[0116] An embodiment of the present application also provides a financial device.

[0117] like Figure 13 and Figure 16 As shown, the financial device includes a frame 700 and the cash box mentioned above, and the cash box is installed on the frame 700.

[0118] According to the financial device provided in the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the lock body structure 300 and the gate structure in the cash box on both sides of the box body 100, the privacy and security of the cash box are improved, and the cash box can also be adapted to occasions requiring placement in a special direction and specific operating specifications, thereby expanding the scope of use and improving the user experience as much as possible.
