Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cash dispensing, and in particular to an automatic cash dispensing and packing device. Background Art

[0002] Traditional vault material assembly relies on manual labor, which presents numerous drawbacks. Typically, after obtaining branch requisition information, a printed requisition form is required. The treasury clerk, using the form, then enters the cash vault and collects the cash onto a cart. Once the cash is collected, the treasury clerk then uses the form to collect the cash boxes required for assembly. Once both the cash and the boxes are collected, the treasury clerk completes the packing process one by one according to the form. This method is not only inefficient but also prone to human error, increasing the bank's operating costs and risks.

[0003] Therefore, some automated cash sorting and packing solutions already exist in the market. These solutions typically use SCARA sorting robots or parallel robots to grasp and pack banknote bundles, while also utilizing conveyor lines to circulate and pack banknote boxes. Some solutions on the market directly use plastic packaging for packaging. However, this plastic packaging method lacks the necessary security guarantees during cash delivery, and this method is less widely used in the market. The majority of banknotes are still packed in boxes to ensure the security of cash in transit. However, in these existing solutions, a single robot typically only grasps one banknote bundle at a time, and its grasping range is generally within a radius of 1.5 meters. To address this problem, traditional solutions either use multiple robots in series to increase the grasping coverage or use conveyor lines to circulate six denominations within the grasping range. However, these methods have certain limitations. They not only increase equipment cost and floor space, but also increase system complexity and reduce overall reliability and stability.

[0004] Furthermore, SCARA robots or parallel robots often use sponge suction cups / rubber nozzles or grippers to grasp banknote bundles. However, due to the small payload and limited suction force of small robots, they experience significant lateral movement during transfer and packing, making it easy for the bundles to fall out, resulting in packing failures. Using grippers, however, requires very high positioning accuracy due to the varying positions and postures of the bundles in the incoming bin. This necessitates manual intervention, increasing labor costs and reducing work efficiency. Furthermore, inaccurate positioning can cause damage to banknotes.

[0005] Finally, because the grabbing and packing robot needs to accurately position the suction cup and the money bundle, a visual system is used to take photos and identify the bundle before grabbing. In this way, the visual superposition grabbing cycle is about 8 seconds to complete the operation of one bundle, which is relatively inefficient. In scenarios such as bank cash warehouses with high efficiency requirements, this inefficient grabbing method cannot effectively meet actual needs.

[0006] For this reason, an automatic matching and packing device is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The present invention can achieve an assembly efficiency of 2 seconds per bundle. This high-efficiency performance significantly improves banknote sorting efficiency, enabling the selection and packing of large amounts of banknote bundles in a short period of time, far exceeding traditional manual sorting methods and existing partially automated solutions, and providing a strong guarantee for the efficient operation of bank cash vaults. The system can precisely control the dropping of banknote bundles, effectively preventing problems such as bundles falling off and ensuring accurate sorting. This not only improves work efficiency but also reduces the risks and losses caused by operational errors. The cart-based restocking method completely solves the low efficiency of traditional restocking based on bundles or boxes. A warehouse keeper or automated handling equipment can push or move entire pallets of cash into the automatic sorting and packing equipment. The gantry robot inside the equipment automatically determines the denomination and grabs the cash to be added to the buffer flow channel. This convenient restocking method greatly improves restocking efficiency and provides reliable guarantees for the continuous operation of the equipment.

[0018] 2. The design of the present invention integrates a number of advanced technologies and modules, including key components such as feeding mechanism, truss robot, caching mechanism, payment conveying mechanism, unpacking mechanism and sorting mechanism. These mechanisms work together to build an efficient, accurate and reliable automated payment and packing system. In terms of floor space and height, it ensures that the equipment can easily adapt to the space limitations of most cash warehouses, and is also convenient for daily operation and maintenance of staff. The various mechanisms of this equipment adopt an assembled design, which makes the equipment more convenient during transportation, reduces logistics costs, greatly simplifies the assembly process, and enables the equipment to be put into use quickly. It also gives the equipment extremely high flexibility and can be customized according to the specific conditions of different warehouses, such as space size, payment quantity requirements, etc., to ensure that the equipment can be perfectly integrated into various environments and meet the use requirements of cash warehouses of different banks.

[0019] 3. The core function of this equipment is that after the vault receives the application from the branch, it can automatically complete the picking and packing of banknote bundles in an efficient and accurate manner according to the application order of the bank branch. During the picking process, materials are in bundles, which greatly improves the operation efficiency. By obtaining the branch application information of the bank's upper system, the present invention can automatically perform unpacking and packing operations according to different denominations and corresponding bundle numbers, thereby improving the accuracy of the operation.

[0020] 4. The feeding mechanism in the present invention adopts a whole-pallet feeding mode, which greatly simplifies the feeding process and improves work efficiency. In the whole-pallet feeding mode, the warehouse keeper or automated handling equipment only needs to easily push or move the whole pallet of cash materials into the automatic dispensing equipment to complete the feeding operation; wheel limiters and guide structures are set on the ground, and the feeding personnel can accurately position it by pushing it in. At the same time, displacement sensors are set to ensure that the cart is in place, comprehensively guaranteeing the feeding in place and ensuring that subsequent grabbing is normal. The process is simple and clear, which greatly reduces the complexity and labor intensity of manual operation. The workstation is equipped with a truss robot, which can accurately identify and grab the cash materials on the pallet, thereby automatically grabbing the banknotes of the corresponding denomination and adding them to the cache flow channel, so that the whole-pallet feeding mode is combined with the truss robot, making the feeding process of an automatic dispensing and packing equipment more efficient, accurate and automated.

[0021] 5. The cache mechanism uses a truss robot for replenishment. One grabbing cycle of replenishment operation can complete the replenishment of 10 bundles of banknotes. The design of the cache module also fully considers the scalability and flexibility of the equipment. As the banking business develops and changes, the cache module can be adjusted and optimized according to actual needs to meet the needs of cash vaults of different sizes and types.

[0022] 6. This equipment can stack the money bundles in the transfer box according to the number of money bundles required for the order. When the number of money bundles is large, the automatic control sorting mechanism can use precise mechanical control and positioning to ensure that each money bundle maintains the same posture and spacing, effectively utilizing the space in the transfer box, and solving the problems that may occur when the money bundles fall freely, such as different postures, mutual squeezing or misalignment, thereby avoiding space waste and low packing efficiency.

[0043] It should be noted that the structural movement and position control of the device can be achieved by setting up sensors, which is a well-known technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] Working principle:

[0045] The first step is to start the power of the equipment. The staff will put the money bundles into the tray 102, and then stack the tray 102 on the cart 101. Then, the feeding port door of the shell 1000 is opened, and the cart 101 stacked with money bundles is pushed into the money bundle storage area, and then the feeding port is closed.

[0046] In the second step, the equipment automatically starts the caching task. The reading module on the truss robot 200 automatically scans and reads the RFID code. The moving parts of the X-axis guide rail 202, the Y-axis guide rail 203 and the Z-axis guide rail 204 move, driving the upright suction cup mechanism 205 and the porous suction cup mechanism 206 to move to the tray 102.

The upright suction cup mechanism 205 absorbs and transfers the empty tray 102 to the empty cart 101.

[0047] The third step is to place the payment box 900 on the payment box conveying platform 800. The payment box conveying platform 800 first transports the payment box 900 to the opening position. After the light sensor senses the payment box 900, the system issues an opening instruction. When the payment box 900 is a traditional box, the cylinder pushes the paddle frame close to the bottom of the lock 601 and the lock plate 602. The rotating cylinder rotates to drive the rod frame to rotate, and then the paddle rod moves the lock plate 602 out of the lock 601. If it is an intelligent payment box, the above steps are omitted. Then the push rod cylinder 605 pushes the frame plate close to the payment box 900, and the cover opening suction cup 604 absorbs the box cover of the payment box 900. Then another rotating cylinder drives the cover opening suction cup 604 to rotate to open the cover, and then the opening mechanism 600 is reset.

[0048] In the fourth step, the staff clicks on the start of payment allocation, and the workstation automatically obtains the payment allocation order information from the bank's upper system and prepares to start payment allocation. The cash box conveyor platform 800 transmits the payment box 900 to the payment allocation position. When the amount of payment is small, if the laser sensor of the buffer flow channel fails to detect the slipping of the money bundle, the system will automatically drive the conveyor chain 401 in the buffer flow channel of the same denomination to operate, and the conveyor chain 401 moves the conveyor paddle 402 to allow the money bundle to pass through the buffer flow channel and the slide 404. The upper buffer platform 301 also includes a guide plate 1 405 and a turning platform 406 and falls onto the money bundle conveyor line 403 until all the denomination banknotes required for the current order are successfully pushed into the belt line, and then through the transmission of the money bundle conveyor line 403 and the guidance of the money bundle by the baffle 407 and the guide plate 2 408, the money bundles are neatly gathered at the exit of the money bundle conveyor line 403, and then fall into the opened payment box 900 along the money bundle conveyor line 403.

[0049] The fifth step is that when the amount of money to be distributed is large, the limiting door panel 409 closes the outlet of the money bundle conveyor line 403. After the money bundles are stacked in a row, the limiting door panel 409 opens, and the money bundles are conveyed to the protective cover 501 by the money bundle conveyor line 403. The chain 502 is driven to operate and the money bundles are pushed into the sorting table 504 through the push plate 503. The front and rear linear guides 506 and the upper and lower linear guides 507 are operated to allow the sorting suction cup mechanism 508 to correspond to the money bundles in the sorting table 504. Then the sorting suction cup mechanism 508 absorbs the money bundles, and through the operation of the front and rear linear guides 506 and the upper and lower linear guides 507, the money bundles are neatly stacked into the payment box 900.

[0050] The sixth step is that after the packing is completed, the cash box transfer station 800 transfers the payment box 900 to the review position. At the review position, the RFID device automatically reads the label information on the cash box and displays this information on the display screen 700, including the cash box number, order number, assembled banknote denomination and quantity, etc. The staff will verify the assembly quantity in the cash box one by one according to the order information displayed on the display screen 700, and manually load other required materials such as precious metals and certificates into the cash box if any; manually complete the review and lock the box according to the bank's rules if necessary. If no review is required, the box will be automatically locked and the smart cash box will continue to circulate. The traditional cash box still needs to be manually locked to ensure that the cash box will not be illegally opened during the subsequent circulation process and will be transferred to the next process. After the locking is completed, the cash box will continue to circulate to the next process, such as logistics transportation or internal processing of the bank.

Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
