[0025] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below through specific implementation methods.

[0026] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a screw cleaning and oiling tool for a banknote module of an automatic ticket vending machine includes a trolley 1 and a screw driving module 2 installed inside the trolley 1, an ultrasonic cleaning module 3, a dryer 4 and an oiling module 5.

[0027] The screw drive module 2 is mainly used to install the screw 6 to be cleaned, drive the screw 6 to switch between different workstations, and drive the screw 6 to rotate itself.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the screw drive module 2 includes a lifting mechanism 21, a screw mounting frame 22 and a screw drive motor 23. The lifting mechanism 21 drives the screw mounting frame 22 to lift and lower inside the trolley 1. In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 21 includes a lifting motor 211, a lifting screw 212, a lifting slide 213 and a vertical track 214. The lifting motor 211 drives the lifting screw 212 to rotate and then drives the lifting slide 213 to perform lifting motion along the vertical track 214. The screw mounting frame 22 is fixed based on the lifting slide 214.

[0029] The screw mounting frame 22 is provided with a mounting position for mounting the screw and supporting the screw to perform rotational motion. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the screw mounting frame 22 includes a cross arm 221, a scissor-type bracket 222 and an oil drip groove 223. One end of the cross arm 221 is connected to the lifting slide 214 of the lifting mechanism, and the other end of the cross arm 221 is installed with the screw drive motor 23. In the present embodiment, the screw drive motor 23 is connected to the connecting end of the screw 6 through a belt to realize driving.

[0030] The scissor-type bracket 222 is connected below the cross arm and is parallel to the cross arm; like Figure 4 As shown, the scissors-type bracket 222 includes a tail stock 2221, a front movable seat 2222, a scissors arm 2223 and a base 2224.

[0031] In a preferred solution, an oil leakage hole is arranged at the bottom end of the oil drip groove, and the lower part of the oil leakage hole faces the clear cavity of the ultrasonic cleaning module.

[0032] The ultrasonic cleaning module 3 is arranged at the lower end of the trolley 1, and the lifting mechanism 21 can drive the screw mounting frame 22 to move down to the cleaning cavity of the ultrasonic cleaning module 3. Specifically, the ultrasonic cleaning module includes a cleaning tank with an open top. The ultrasonic cleaning module adopts a conventional ultrasonic cleaning module, and the switch is controlled by the control component in the electric control cabinet.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, the refueling module 5 is arranged at the upper end of the interior of the trolley 1, and the lifting mechanism 21 can drive the screw mounting frame 22 to move up to the refueling station. The refueling module 5 refuels the screw 6 by injection. Specifically, the refueling module 5 includes a linear drive mechanism and an oil injection syringe 51. The linear drive mechanism drives the injection end of the oil injection syringe 51, and the nozzle end of the oil injection syringe 51 is set at a height corresponding to the refueling station. In this embodiment, the refueling module includes a refueling motor 52, a coupling 53, a transmission screw 54, a slider 55, a slide rail 56 and at least one horizontally placed oil injection syringe 51. The refueling motor 52 drives the transmission screw 54 to rotate through the coupling 53, and the slider 55 is driven by the transmission screw 54 to move horizontally along the slide rail 56. The front end surface of the slider 55 drives the oil injection syringe 51 to work.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the refueling module is also provided with a primary drive mechanism 57, and the primary drive mechanism 57 is used to drive the slide rail, slider, transmission screw, coupling and oil injection syringe to move forward and backward as a whole. The primary drive mechanism 57 also adopts the driving method of motor, screw, slider and slide rail.

[0035] The drying machine 4 is arranged between the refueling module 5 and the ultrasonic cleaning module 3 .

[0036] A control cabinet 7 is also provided in the trolley 1, and a power module, a switch module and a controller module are provided in the control cabinet 7 for supplying power to the screw drive module 2, the ultrasonic cleaning module 3, the dryer 4 and the refueling module 5 and controlling the working state.

[0037] A universal wheel 11 is arranged at the bottom end of the trolley 1, a push handle 12 is arranged at the rear end of the trolley, and the front end of the trolley is open or semi-open.

[0038] Working process description: The trolley 1 is movable for convenience. Push the trolley 1 to the location of the ticket machine to be maintained. After removing the screw rod 6 in the banknote collecting module, install the screw rod 6 into the corresponding hole position of the screw rod mounting frame 22. After the connecting end of the screw rod 6 is connected to the screw rod drive motor 23 through a belt, the cleaning and refueling work can be started.

[0039] First, the lifting mechanism 21 drives the entire screw mounting frame 22 to move down into the cleaning chamber of the ultrasonic cleaning module 3 to ensure that the screw 6 is below the cleaning liquid level. The ultrasonic cleaning module 3 is started to clean the oil stains on the surface of the screw 6. At the same time, the screw 6 rotates under the drive of the screw drive motor 23 to ensure thorough cleaning.

[0040] During this process, due to the matching relationship between the screw hole and the front movable seat 2222, the screw drive motor 23 drives the screw 6 to rotate intermittently forward and reverse, so that the front movable seat 2222 moves back and forth along the screw 6. The purpose is to expose the area where the screw 6 and the front movable seat 2222 match for cleaning to avoid cleaning dead corners.

[0041] After cleaning is completed, the lifting mechanism 21 drives the screw rod mounting frame 22 to rise to the working position of the dryer to dry the screw rod 6.

[0042] After drying, the lifting mechanism 21 continues to drive the screw rod mounting frame 22 to rise to the refueling module 5, and the refueling module 5 drives the oil injection injector 51 forward to inject oil onto the screw rod 6 for lubrication.

[0043] During the drying and oiling process, the screw rod 6 is always driven by the screw rod driving motor 23 to perform reciprocating rotary motion, ensuring that there is no dead angle in drying and oiling.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present invention can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the technical solution for protection of the present invention.
