The ticket binding mechanism is located at one end of the ticket alignment mechanism.

[0032] In this embodiment, the document sorting mechanism includes a swing base 14-1 and four electric telescopic rods 14-2, 14-3, 14-4, and 14-5 arranged at the four corners of the swing base. The first, second, third, and fourth electric telescopic rods are all mounted on the base. Through the coordinated action of the first, second, third, and fourth electric telescopic rods, the swing base can achieve adaptive swaying.

[0033] In this embodiment, the bill alignment mechanism includes a bill alignment platform 12-3, a bill alignment pushing mechanism, and a bill dispensing pushing mechanism. The bill alignment platform is mounted on a swing seat, and both the bill alignment pushing mechanism and the bill dispensing pushing mechanism are mounted on the bill alignment platform. Preferably, a bill dispensing baffle 12-4 is provided at the outer end of the bill alignment platform to prevent the bill from slipping out.

[0034] In this embodiment, the document alignment pushing mechanism includes a document alignment drive motor 12-5, a document alignment drive screw 12-6, and a document alignment push block 12-2. The document alignment drive screw is connected to the output end of the document alignment drive motor and is driven to rotate by the document alignment drive motor. The document alignment push block is slidably assembled with the document alignment platform from left to right. The document alignment drive screw passes through the document alignment push block and is threadedly connected to the document alignment push block. In a specific implementation, a sliding groove extending in the left and right direction is opened on the document alignment platform so that the document alignment push block is slidably assembled with the sliding groove.

[0035] In this embodiment, the ticket dispensing mechanism includes a ticket dispensing drive motor 12-7, a ticket dispensing drive screw 12-8, and a ticket dispensing push block 12-1. The ticket dispensing drive screw is connected to the output end of the ticket dispensing drive motor and is driven to rotate by the ticket dispensing drive motor.

The front door is provided with a temporary storage port 5 for security services, a human body sensor 9, and a temporary storage port 10 for claims services.

[0038] The working process of the bill acceptance device in this application is as follows:

[0039] In use, staff first place the tickets on the corresponding ticket classification grid 2-2 according to the ticket size, and start the scanning operation. The ticket batch scanning module 2 scans the tickets page by page. The scanned paper tickets are stacked on the ticket alignment platform 12-3 by the guide plate 11. After scanning, the first, second, third, and fourth electric telescopic rods 14-2, 14-3, 14-4, and 14-5 are controlled to move in concert, causing the swing seat 14-1 to swing. This causes the stacked tickets to make small displacements, gradually aligning the tickets initially, thus saving working time, reducing labor costs, and improving work efficiency. The ticket ejection baffle 12-4 prevents the tickets from flying out during the swing of the swing seat 14-1. Then, the ticket alignment drive motor is started, which drives the ticket alignment drive screw to rotate, which in turn drives the ticket alignment pusher 12-2 to move slowly to the left, finally achieving the final alignment of the stacked tickets.

[0040] After the documents are arranged, the electric push rod 13-1 is controlled to move the binding mechanism 13-2 downwards. The binding mechanism 13-2 fits the documents and smooths out the wrinkles on the surface of the document booklet through compression. The binding mechanism 13-2 then staples the documents, binding them into a booklet. After binding is completed, the ticket dispensing pusher 12-1 pushes the document booklet to the ticket dispensing slot 4. The user then follows the voice prompts to insert the document booklet into the temporary storage slot 5 for policy maintenance or the temporary storage slot 10 for claims, according to the type of business being processed. This reduces improper binding, misaligned documents, or lost documents caused by human error, improves the accuracy of the business process, and thus enhances the reliability and integrity of the policy documents.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
