Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of financial self-service equipment technology, and more specifically, relates to a ticket box and ticket processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Financial instruments are negotiable instruments issued by or for which financial institutions assume payment obligations. In my country, existing financial instruments include bills of exchange, checks, and promissory notes. With the increasing prevalence of self-service financial equipment, more and more financial institutions are using financial instrument processing devices to issue financial instruments. These devices typically include a cassette holder and a printing mechanism. The cassette holder stores the financial instruments, while the printing mechanism prints information such as the account holder's name, account number, and amount on the surface of the instruments.

[0003] In existing technology, when placing tickets in a ticket box, the tickets must be manually arranged and aligned before being placed in the box, which makes the placement of tickets inflexible. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The box body is provided with a ticket cavity, and the rear side of the frame is the front fixed side of the ticket cavity. The ticket cavity has a fixed long side, a movable long side and a movable rear side. The box body is elastically provided with a paper pressing wheel assembly.

[0007] In one embodiment, the box body is provided with two movable side plates, and the two ends of the frame are fixed to the movable side plates. Each movable side plate is provided with a first elastic pressing member and a second elastic pressing member at its two ends. The second elastic pressing member is located near the rear of the box body. The elastic force of the second elastic pressing member is less than that of the first elastic pressing member. When the ticket in the ticket dispensing channel applies an upward supporting force to the frame body, the rear end of the frame body and the movable plate are lifted upward.

[0008] In one embodiment, the bottom of the box body is provided with a first protrusion and a second protrusion spaced apart. The first elastic pressing member includes a first screw and a first spring, and the second elastic pressing member includes a second screw and a second spring. The movable side plate is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole. The first through hole is sleeved on the first protrusion, and the second through hole is sleeved on the second protrusion. The first screw is threadedly connected to the first protrusion and causes the first spring to press against the movable side plate. The second screw is threadedly connected to the second protrusion and causes the second spring to press against the movable side plate. The pressure exerted by the second spring on the movable side plate is less than the pressure exerted by the first spring on the movable side plate.

[0009] In one embodiment, a positioning protrusion is provided on the box body between the first protrusion and the second protrusion, and a positioning hole is provided on the movable side plate.

[0010] In one embodiment, the bottom of the box body is provided with a plurality of long guide grooves and short guide grooves.

They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0034] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0035] like Figures 1-11 As shown, a ticket box provided in this application embodiment will now be described in detail. The ticket box includes a box body 1, and a ticket dispensing end (front) of the box body 1 is provided with a ticket splitting component 2. The ticket splitting component 2 includes an upper splitting wheel 21, a lower splitting wheel 22, a paper picking wheel 23, and a frame 24. The frame 24 covers the upper splitting wheel 21, and the bottom surface of the frame 24 is the top surface of the ticket dispensing channel. The plane formed by the line connecting the vertices of the paper picking wheel 23 and the lower splitting wheel 22 is the bottom surface of the ticket dispensing channel. The paper picking wheel 23 is used to transport the tickets under the ticket stack 7 to the ticket dispensing channel. The function of the upper splitting wheel 21 and the lower splitting wheel 22 is to ensure that only one ticket is output through the ticket dispensing channel at a time.

[0036] In this embodiment, a ticket cavity is provided on the box body 1 behind the frame 24. The rear side of the frame 24 is the front fixed side of the ticket cavity. The ticket cavity also has a fixed long side 11, a movable long side 12, and a movable rear side 13, thus forming a square ticket cavity. The movable long side 12 and the movable rear side 13 can be moved to adapt to different sizes of tickets and to align the ticket stack 7 during movement, simplifying the operation of placing tickets and making manual ticket placement more flexible. A paper pressing roller assembly 3 is elastically provided on the box body 1 to press against the top of the ticket stack 7, ensuring that the paper picking roller 23 can properly transport the tickets below.

[0037] like Figure 5-8As shown, in actual operation, due to humidity or the nature of the tickets themselves, excessive friction between the tickets can occur. Multiple tickets may be conveyed at once by the paper-taking roller 23. When the thickness of these multiple tickets is slightly greater than the height of the ticket-carrying channel, and these tickets pass the bottom of the box but do not reach the lower separating roller 22, ticket jamming can easily occur. To solve this problem, two movable side plates 15 are provided on both sides of the box body 1. The bottom of the movable side plates 15 is L-shaped, and both ends of the frame body 24 are fixed to the movable side plates 15. Each movable side plate 15 has a first elastic pressing member 8 and a second elastic pressing member 9 at its ends. The second elastic pressing member 9 is located near the rear of the box body 1, and its elastic force is less than that of the first elastic pressing member 8. When multiple tickets in the ticket-dispensing channel exert an upward supporting force on the frame body 24, the frame body 24 and the rear end of the movable plate are lifted upwards. The bottom of the box body 1 is provided with a first protrusion 16 and a second protrusion 17 spaced apart. A first elastic pressure member 8 includes a first screw and a first spring, and a second elastic pressure member 9 includes a second screw and a second spring. The movable side plate 15 has a first through hole and a second through hole. The first through hole is fitted onto the first protrusion 16, and the second through hole is fitted onto the second protrusion 17. The first screw is threaded to the first protrusion 16, causing the first spring to press against the movable side plate 15. The second screw is threaded to the second protrusion 17, causing the second spring to press against the movable side plate 15. The pressure exerted by the second spring on the movable side plate 15 is less than the pressure exerted by the first spring. The first and second screws adjust the spring pressure. The bottom of the movable side plate 15 protrudes downwards at the first protrusion 16, creating a gap between the bottom surface of the movable side plate 15 and the box body 1, ensuring that the movable side plate 15 swings with the position of the first protrusion 16 as a support point. Both the frame 24 and the movable side plate 15 are made of plastic and are lightweight.

[0038] In this embodiment, because the resistance force of the first spring on the movable side plate 15 is much greater than that of the second spring on the movable side plate 15, the frame 24 is in a state of force balance (similar to a seesaw in a balanced state), such as Figure 8 As shown, when there are too many tickets, only a small supporting force is needed to lift the rear end of the frame 24 after they enter the ticket channel, allowing multiple tickets to continue moving forward under the action of the paper-taking roller 23. After the upper separating roller 21 and the lower separating roller 22 have transported this batch of multiple tickets one by one, the frame 24 automatically returns to a horizontal state (as shown). Figure 9 As shown), the paper-taking roller 23 takes the next round of ticket taking. When the tickets are being transported normally, the frame 24 is also in a horizontal state.

[0039] The box body 1 has a positioning protrusion 18 between the first protrusion 16 and the second protrusion 17, and the movable side plate 15 has a positioning hole to facilitate the installation of the movable side plate 15.

[0040] To facilitate the movement and fixation of the movable long side 12 and the movable rear side 13, several long guide grooves and short guide grooves are provided at the bottom of the box body 1. The length directions of the long guide grooves and short guide grooves are perpendicular. Guide blocks are provided at the bottom of both the movable long side 12 and the movable rear side 13. The movable long side 12 is movably mounted on the box body 1 by inserting the guide blocks and long guide grooves. The movable rear side 13 is movably mounted on the box body 1 by inserting the guide blocks and short guide grooves. Both the movable long side 12 and the movable rear side 13 are provided with fastening screws 4. When the fastening screws 4 are tightened, they abut against the box body 1, allowing the movable long side 12 and the movable rear side 13 to stably remain in their current positions. Preferably, as shown... Figure 5 As shown, the box body is provided with a gear 19, and the movable long side 12 is connected to a rack 121. The rack 121 meshes with the gear 19, which has a positioning function for the movement of the movable long side 12.

[0041] In this embodiment, the paper-pressing roller assembly 3 is movably mounted on two movable side plates 15. Each movable side plate 15 has a vertically elongated groove. The paper-pressing roller assembly 3 includes a movable long shaft 31, paper-pressing rollers 32 rotatably mounted on the movable long shaft 31, a ticket-releasing flap 33 fixed to the movable long shaft 31, and an elastic element 34 that drives the movable long shaft 31 downwards. Both ends of the movable long shaft 31 movably pass through the vertical groove. Multiple paper-pressing rollers 32 are spaced apart. The elastic element 34 is a tension spring or elastic rope, with one end fixed to the movable side plate 15, passing around the positioning shaft, and the other end fixed to the movable long shaft 31. This ensures that the elastic element 34 always maintains the downward drive of the movable long shaft 31, allowing the paper-pressing rollers 32 to press against the top of the ticket. The ticket-releasing flap 33 facilitates the worker's upward movement of the movable long shaft 31 to place the ticket stack 7 into the ticket cavity.

[0042] The pressure roller 32 is located diagonally above the paper take-up roller 23 and close to the upper separating roller 21. In this way, the pressure roller 32 will press the front end of the ticket downward and tilt it so that the front end of the ticket is slightly tilted downward when it enters the ticket channel, and will not be blocked by the frame 24 above, making it convenient for the ticket to enter the ticket channel.

[0043] In this embodiment, a pull rod assembly 5 is provided at the bottom of the box body 1, and an operating groove 14 for reaching in is provided at the rear of the box body 1. The operating groove 14 and the pull rod assembly 5 are used to facilitate staff to remove the ticket box from the cabinet body 6.

[0044] In this embodiment, the upper separating roller 21, the lower separating roller 22, and the paper-taking roller 23 are connected at the same end via a gear set 25. A single motor can simultaneously drive the upper separating roller 21, the lower separating roller 22, and the paper-taking roller 23 to rotate via the gear set 25.

[0045] like Figure 7As shown, this embodiment also provides a ticket processing device, including a cabinet 6 and ticket boxes as described above, which are arranged inside the cabinet 6. The ticket boxes are arranged in a drawer-like manner inside the cabinet 6, and at least two ticket boxes are provided. The cabinet 6 is also provided with a cabinet door 61, which can be opened and closed to securely protect multiple ticket boxes. When it is necessary to place a ticket, the cabinet door 61 is opened, and the ticket box is pulled out from the cabinet 6 through the operating groove 14 and the pull rod assembly 5, and then the ticket is placed. Multiple ticket boxes can hold different types of tickets respectively.

[0046] When tickets need to be placed in the ticket box, the ticket box is taken out from the cabinet 6. Then, the movable long side 12 and the movable rear side are pushed to the outermost edge of the ticket cavity. Then, the staff uses the ticket release cover 33 to move the movable long shaft 31 and the paper pressing wheel 32 upward. Then, the ticket stack 7 is placed into the ticket cavity. The ticket release cover 33 is lowered so that the paper pressing wheel 32 presses against the top of the ticket stack 7. Then, the movable long side 12 is moved towards the ticket stack 7 so that the long side of the ticket stack 7 is aligned with the fixed long side 11. The movable rear side 13 is moved towards the ticket stack 7 so that the short side of the ticket stack 7 is aligned with the rear side of the frame 24. The fastening screws are tightened, and then the tickets are pushed into the cabinet 6.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
