Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of financial equipment technology, and more specifically, to a coin insertion device, a cash circulation processing device, and a coin insertion method. Background Technology

[0002] A cash circulation processing device is a financial self-service device that combines multiple functions such as cash circulation, deposit, withdrawal, sorting, counting, counterfeit detection, continuous coin deposit, and end-of-day cash safekeeping. Existing cash recycling equipment typically includes a coin-feeding device, which is used to input banknotes one by one into the equipment. For example, Chinese patent CN208126501U provides a coin-feeding device, which includes a support plate, a coin-kicking roller, a coin-separating roller, and a coin-blocking roller. The support plate is used to support banknotes. The coin-kicking roller and the coin-separating roller are arranged sequentially on the support plate along the banknote input direction. The coin-blocking roller is located above the support plate and is arranged opposite to the coin-separating roller. A coin inlet is formed between the coin-blocking roller and the coin-separating roller. When a banknote is inserted, the coin-kicking roller rotates and drives the banknote in contact with it to move towards the coin inlet. When the banknote moves between the coin-separating roller and the coin-blocking roller, the coin-separating roller rotates and drives the banknote in contact with it to move. The coin-blocking roller remains stationary, so that the banknote in contact with the coin-separating roller continues to move under the drive of the coin-separating roller. Other banknotes that are not in contact with the coin-separating roller are blocked by the coin-blocking roller, so that only the single banknote in contact with the coin-separating roller is separated and input.

[0003] However, when a stack of banknotes placed on the support plate by the user is not stacked neatly along the banknote insertion direction, the banknote that first contacts the kick roller may not be the bottom banknote but the second banknote above it. When the kick roller rotates, it first drives the second banknote in contact with it between the coin sorting roller and the coin blocking roller. When the first banknote moves under the friction of the second banknote and contacts the kick roller, the kick roller will drive the first banknote to move towards the coin sorting roller and the coin blocking roller, causing the two banknotes to get stuck at the coin sorting roller and the coin blocking roller. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a coin insertion device, a cash circulation processing device, and a coin insertion method. This coin insertion device can solve the problem of coin jamming and improve the reliability of coin insertion.

[0005] The embodiments of the present invention are implemented as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a coin feeding device, comprising: a frame, and a first coin kicking roller, a second coin kicking roller, a coin separating roller, a coin blocking part, and a coin supporting member disposed on the frame.

[0007] The frame includes a support section and a reference section arranged at an angle. The support section is used to support banknotes, and the reference section is located above the support section, with a banknote inlet formed between the reference section and the support section.

[0008] Along the direction of coin entry, the first coin kicking roller, the second coin kicking roller, the coin inlet, and the coin dispensing roller are arranged in sequence; the first coin kicking roller, the second coin kicking roller, and the coin dispensing roller are all used to drive the movement of the banknotes;

[0009] The coin-blocking section and the coin-dispensing roller are distributed relative to each other;

[0010] The coin holder is movably connected to the frame and can move relative to the frame, having a working position and a clearance position. When the coin holder is in the working position, it can support the banknote and align it along the reference section under the drive of the first coin kicking roller. When the coin holder is in the clearance position, the first coin kicking roller and the second coin kicking roller can jointly drive the banknote from the coin inlet into the space between the coin separating roller and the coin blocking section.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the support portion has a first support surface for supporting banknotes, and the reference portion includes a reference surface and a guide surface arranged at an angle. The guide surface is opposite to and spaced apart from the first support surface, and a banknote inlet is formed between the guide surface and the first support surface. The first end of the banknote holder is located below the first support surface, and the first end of the banknote holder is pivotally connected to the frame via a first pivot shaft. The banknote holder can rotate relative to the frame around the axis of the first pivot shaft between a working position and a clearance position.

[0012] When the coin holder is in the working position, the second end of the coin holder extends through the first support surface to the reference surface so that the banknote is aligned with the reference surface, and at the same time the coin holder blocks the coin inlet; when the coin holder is in the avoidance position, the second end of the coin holder is not higher than the first support surface so that the coin inlet is exposed.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the coin holder is provided with a second support surface for supporting banknotes and a clearance groove penetrating the second support surface;

[0014] When the coin holder is in the working position, the second coin kicking roller is located below the second support surface; when the coin holder is in the clearance position, part of the second coin kicking roller protrudes from the second support surface through the clearance groove.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the support is provided with an insert plate, which is always engaged with the clearance slot when the coin holder moves relative to the frame to the working position or the clearance position.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, one of the coin holder and the reference part is provided with a plug-in part, and the other of the coin holder and the reference part is provided with a plug-in slot; when the coin holder is in the working position, the plug-in part is plugged into the plug-in slot.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, the coin-distributing roller includes a first core shaft and at least two coin-distributing wheels sleeved on the first core shaft, the at least two coin-distributing wheels being distributed sequentially at intervals along the axial direction of the first core shaft; an insertion part is disposed on the coin-supporting member, and the insertion part is provided with a third support surface for supporting banknotes; when the coin-supporting member is in the avoidance position, the insertion part is inserted between two adjacent coin-distributing wheels, and a portion of the coin-distributing wheel protrudes from the third support surface.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the coin insertion device further includes a coin pressing member for pressing the banknotes against the second coin kicking roller. The coin pressing member is distributed opposite to the second coin kicking roller and is used to press the banknotes against the second coin kicking roller. The coin pressing member is movably connected to the frame and can move relative to the frame to approach or move away from the second coin kicking roller. The coin pressing member always has a tendency to move closer to the second coin kicking roller.

[0019] When the coin holder moves to the working position, it can be connected to the coin pressing component via a transmission mechanism. When the coin holder is connected to the coin pressing component via a transmission mechanism, the coin holder drives the coin pressing component to move away from the second coin kicking roller.

[0020] When the coin-holding component moves to the avoidance position, the transmission connection between the coin-holding component and the coin-pressing component is broken, and the coin-pressing component can approach the second coin-kicking roller.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, the coin pressing component is pivotally connected to the frame via a second pivot shaft located on the side of the reference section away from the second coin kicking roller. The coin pressing component can rotate about the axis of the second pivot shaft to move closer to or away from the second coin kicking roller.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, the coin-holding component is pivotally connected to the frame via a first pivot shaft, and the coin-holding component can rotate between a working position and a clearance position about the axis of the first pivot shaft; the coin-pressing component is pivotally connected to the frame via a second pivot shaft, and the coin-pressing component can rotate about the axis of the second pivot shaft to move closer to or further away from the second coin-kicking roller.

[0023] The coin insertion device also includes a motor, a cam, a first elastic element and a second elastic element. The cam is connected to the motor for transmission. When the motor drives the cam to rotate, the cam can drive the coin holder to rotate to the working position.

[0024] The first elastic element is used to ensure that the coin holder always has a tendency to rotate towards the avoidance position;

[0025] The second elastic element is used to ensure that the coin pressing component always has a rotational tendency to approach the second coin kicking roller.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the coin insertion device in this embodiment of the invention include: Before a user inserts a banknote into the coin insertion device, the coin support member is in the working position. After the user inserts the banknote, the coin support member in the working position supports the banknote, and the first coin kicking roller drives the banknote to move and align it along the reference part. Then, the coin support member moves to the avoidance position, and the banknote falls onto the support part, ensuring that the bottommost first banknote contacts the second coin kicking roller. When the second coin kicking roller rotates, the first banknote enters between the coin separating roller and the coin blocking part. At the same time, the first coin kicking roller can drive the banknote located at the bottommost first banknote to move. When the second banknote above the first banknote moves to the second kicking roller, causing the first banknote to leave the coin-separating roller and the coin-blocking section, the second kicking roller can then drive the second banknote into the space between the coin-separating roller and the coin-blocking section. This process continues, with the combined drive of the first and second kicking rollers, banknotes are driven one after another from bottom to top through the coin inlet into the space between the coin-separating roller and the coin-blocking section. In this way, through the cooperation of the coin support and the reference section, the banknotes can be aligned before entering the coin inlet, solving the problem of banknotes getting stuck between the coin-separating roller and the coin-blocking section due to uneven stacking of multiple banknotes, thus improving the reliability of coin insertion.

[0027] Secondly, the present invention provides a cash recycling processing device, including the coin insertion device of any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0028] The beneficial effects of the cash recycling processing device in this embodiment of the invention include: the cash recycling processing device provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a coin insertion device. Therefore, through the cooperation of the coin support and the reference part, the banknotes can be aligned before entering the coin inlet, which solves the problem of coins getting stuck between the coin separating roller and the coin blocking part due to the uneven stacking of multiple banknotes, and improves the reliability of coin insertion.

[0029] Thirdly, the present invention provides a coin insertion method, which is applied to the aforementioned coin insertion device, and the coin insertion method includes:

[0030] Step S100: When the set conditions are met, control the coin holder to move to the working position;

[0031] Step S200: When a banknote is detected in the support section, the first banknote kicking roller is controlled to rotate for a set time to drive the banknote placed in the support section to align with the reference section.

[0032] Step S300: Control the coin holder to move to the avoidance position;

[0033] Step S400: Control the first coin kicking roller, the second coin kicking roller, and the coin sorting roller to rotate, so that the second coin kicking roller drives the banknotes in contact with it to enter between the coin sorting roller and the coin blocking part.

[0034] In an optional implementation, when a banknote is detected on the support and no banknote is detected reaching the downstream of the separating roller after a set time, the banknote support is controlled to vibrate to adjust the state of the banknote.

[0035] The beneficial effects of the coin insertion method in this embodiment of the invention include: the coin insertion method enables the banknotes to be aligned before entering the coin inlet, and the banknotes can enter one by one from bottom to top between the coin sorting roller and the coin blocking part, which solves the problem of banknotes getting stuck between the coin sorting roller and the coin blocking part due to the uneven stacking of multiple banknotes, and improves the reliability of coin insertion.

[0056] Optionally, the multiple coin boxes include a counterfeit coin box 131, a circulation box 132, a storage box 133, and a filling box 134; wherein, the counterfeit coin box 131 is used to receive counterfeit coins input by the coin insertion device 020 during deposit, the circulation box 132 is used to receive banknotes input by the coin insertion device 020 during deposit and to output banknotes to the coin dispensing device 110 during withdrawal, the storage box 133 is used to receive large denomination banknotes during deposit, receive abnormal coins identified by the coin recognition device 120 during withdrawal and filling, and receive banknotes output by the circulation box 132 during machine clearing, and the filling box 134 is used to fill banknotes into the circulation box 132.

[0057] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of the coin insertion device when the coin holder 700 is in the avoidance position according to an embodiment of the present invention;Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the coin insertion device when the coin holder 700 is in the working position according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The coin insertion device 020 of this embodiment includes a frame 200, and a first coin kicking roller 300, a second coin kicking roller 400, a coin separating roller 500, a coin blocking part 600, and a coin supporting member 700 disposed on the frame 200. The frame 200 includes a support part 210 and a base part 220 disposed at an angle. The support part 210 is used to support banknotes, and the base part 220 is located above the support part 210, with a coin inlet 230 formed between the base part 220 and the support part 210. Along the coin insertion direction a, the first coin kicking roller 300, the second coin kicking roller 400, the coin inlet 230, and the coin separating roller 500 are arranged sequentially. The first coin kicking roller 300, the second coin kicking roller 400, and the coin separating roller 500 are all used to drive the banknotes to move. Parts of the first coin kicking roller 300 and part of the second coin kicking roller 400 protrude from the support part 210. The coin blocking part 600 and the coin supporting member 700 are disposed on the frame 200. The coin-separating rollers 500 are relatively distributed. The combined action of the coin-blocking section 600 and the coin-separating rollers 500 allows only single banknotes that come into contact with the coin-separating rollers 500 to enter between the coin-blocking section 600 and the coin-separating rollers 500 and continue to move under the drive of the coin-separating rollers 500. Other banknotes that do not come into contact with the coin-separating rollers 500 are blocked by the coin-blocking section 600. The coin-supporting component 700 is movably connected to the frame 200. The coin-supporting component 700 can move relative to the frame 200 and has a working position and a clearance position. When the coin-supporting component 700 is in the working position, it can support the banknotes so that the banknotes are aligned along the reference section 220 under the drive of the first coin-kicking roller 300. When the coin-supporting component 700 is in the clearance position, the first coin-kicking roller 300 and the second coin-kicking roller 400 can jointly drive the banknotes from the coin inlet 230 into the space between the coin-separating rollers 500 and the coin-blocking section 600. By cooperating with the coin support 700 and the reference section 220, the banknotes can be aligned before entering the coin inlet 230, which solves the problem of banknotes getting stuck between the coin distribution roller 500 and the coin blocking section 600 due to uneven stacking of multiple banknotes, and improves the reliability of coin insertion.

[0059] Specifically, taking a single banknote as an example, when the banknote support 700 is in the working position, a portion of the surface of the banknote placed into the banknote device 020 is supported by the banknote support 700, and another portion of the surface is supported by the support part 210, and can contact the first banknote kicking roller 300, so that the banknote is aligned along the reference part 220 under the drive of the first banknote kicking roller 300; when the banknote support 700 is in the avoidance position, the banknote falls on the support part 210, so that the support part 210 supports the entire surface of the banknote, and the banknote contacts the second banknote kicking roller 400, which can drive the banknote from the banknote inlet 230 into the space between the banknote dispensing roller 500 and the banknote blocking part 600.

[0060] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of the coin insertion method in an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to it. Figure 4 This embodiment also provides a coin insertion method, which is applied to the coin insertion device 020 described above. The coin insertion method includes:

[0061] Step S100: When the set conditions are met, control the coin holder 700 to move to the working position.

[0062] In this embodiment, the set conditions refer to: the coin insertion device 020 being powered on and executing the initialization process, or the support portion 210 being detected as changing from having banknotes to not having banknotes. This setting allows the coin holder 700 to move to the working position during the idle time while the coin insertion device 020 is waiting to perform the coin insertion operation. This enables the user to directly insert banknotes into the support portion 210 after the coin insertion operation is initiated, without waiting for the coin holder 700 to move. This not only improves coin insertion efficiency but also enhances the reliability of banknote alignment along the reference portion 220.

[0063] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 5 The coin insertion device 020 also includes a first motor 900, a controller 940, and a first detection element 931. The first motor 900 is driveably connected to the coin holder 700 to drive the coin holder 700 to move to the working position. Along the coin insertion direction, the first detection element 931 is disposed upstream of the coin inlet 230 and is communicatively connected to the controller 940. The first detection element 931 is used to detect whether a banknote is placed on the support portion 210. The exemplary first detection element 931 is a sensor. Specifically, when a banknote is placed on the support portion 210, the first detection element 931 sends a first detection signal to the controller 940; when there is no banknote on the support portion 210, the first detection element 931 sends a second detection signal to the controller 940; when the signal sent by the first detection element 931 changes from the first detection signal to the second detection signal, it is determined that the support portion 210 has changed from having a banknote to not having a banknote. When the controller 940 detects that the coin insertion device 020 has been powered on and completed the initialization process, or when it detects that the support part 210 has changed from having banknotes to not having banknotes, the controller 940 controls the first motor 900 to rotate, so as to drive the coin holder 700 to move to the working position.

[0064] In step S200, when a banknote is detected in the support portion 210, the first banknote kicking roller 300 is controlled to rotate for a set time to drive the banknote placed in the support portion 210 to align with the reference portion 220.

[0065] Optionally, the coin insertion device further includes a second motor 950, which is connected to the first coin-kicking roller 300 for driving the first coin-kicking roller 300 to rotate. When the controller 940 detects that the signal emitted by the first detection element 931 is a first detection signal, it determines that the user has placed the banknote on the support portion 210. The controller 940 controls the second motor 950 to rotate, driving the first coin-kicking roller 300 to rotate for a set time, so as to drive the banknote placed on the support portion 210 to align along the reference portion 220.

[0066] Step S300: Control the coin holder 700 to move to the avoidance position.

[0067] Optionally, after the first coin-kicking roller 300 has rotated for a set time, the controller 940 controls the first motor 900 to rotate, thereby driving the coin-supporting component 700 to move to the avoidance position. Optionally, after the first coin-kicking roller 300 has rotated for a set time, the controller 940 first controls the second motor 950 to stop rotating, so that the first coin-kicking roller 300 stops rotating. When the controller 940 detects that the second motor 950 has stopped rotating, it then controls the first motor 900 to rotate, thereby driving the coin-supporting component 700 to move to the avoidance position. This configuration ensures that the coin-supporting component 700 does not change the stacking state of the banknotes due to the first coin-kicking roller 300 during its movement from the working position to the avoidance position, thus guaranteeing the reliability of coin insertion.

[0068] In step S400, the first coin kicking roller 300, the second coin kicking roller 400 and the coin sorting roller 500 are controlled to rotate so as to drive the banknotes in contact with the second coin kicking roller 400 into the space between the coin sorting roller 500 and the coin blocking part 600.

[0069] Optionally, the second motor 950 is also connected to the second coin-kicking roller 400 and the coin-distributing roller 500 for driving the first coin-kicking roller 300, the second coin-kicking roller 400, and the coin-distributing roller 500 to rotate synchronously. Controlling the rotation of the first coin-kicking roller 300, the second coin-kicking roller 400, and the coin-distributing roller 500 includes: the controller 940 controlling the second motor 950 to rotate, so as to drive the first coin-kicking roller 300, the second coin-kicking roller 400, and the coin-distributing roller 500 to rotate synchronously. This configuration allows the first coin-kicking roller 300, the second coin-kicking roller 400, and the coin-distributing roller 500 to share the drive of the second motor 950, saving costs.

[0070] In other embodiments, the coin insertion device 020 includes a second motor 950 and a third motor. The second motor 950 is driven by the first coin kicking roller 300 and is used to drive the first coin kicking roller 300 to rotate. The third motor is driven by the second coin kicking roller 400 and the coin distributing roller 500 and is used to drive the second coin kicking roller 400 and the coin distributing roller 500 to rotate synchronously. Controlling the rotation of the first coin kicking roller 300 includes controlling the rotation of the second motor 950 to drive the first coin kicking roller 300 to rotate. Controlling the rotation of the first coin kicking roller 300, the second coin kicking roller 400 and the coin distributing roller 500 includes controlling the rotation of the second motor 950 and the third motor to drive the first coin kicking roller 300, the second coin kicking roller 400 and the coin distributing roller 500 to rotate.

[0071] Optional methods for depositing coins also include:

[0072] In step S600, when a banknote is detected in the support section 210 and no banknote is detected reaching the downstream of the coin-distribution roller 500 after a set time, the coin-supporting component is controlled to vibrate to adjust the state of the banknote.

[0073] Optionally, the coin insertion device 020 further includes a second detection element 932, which is communicatively connected to the controller 940 and is located downstream of the coin-distributing roller 500 along the coin insertion direction. The second detection element 932 is used to detect whether there is a banknote downstream of the coin-distributing roller 500. An exemplary second detection element 932 is a sensor. Specifically, when there is a banknote downstream of the coin-distributing roller 500, the second detection element 932 sends a third detection signal to the controller 940. When there is no banknote downstream of the coin-distributing roller 500, the second detection element 932 sends a fourth detection signal to the controller 940. In this embodiment, the first coin-kicking roller 300, the second coin-kicking roller 400, and the coin-distributing roller 500 are controlled to rotate to drive the banknote in contact with the second coin-kicking roller 400 into the space between the coin-distributing roller 500 and the coin-blocking part 600. When a banknote is detected in the support part 210 and after a set time, no banknote is detected reaching the downstream of the coin-distributing roller 500, it means that the banknote cannot enter the space between the coin-distributing roller 500 and the coin-blocking part 600 due to an abnormal banknote state. Therefore, the coin-supporting part 700 is controlled to vibrate to adjust the banknote state. When the controller 940 receives the first detection signal from the first detection element 931, and after a set interval, the controller 940 does not receive the third detection signal from the second detection element 932, it is determined that there are banknotes in the support part 210 and no banknotes downstream of the coin-separating roller 500. Then the controller 940 controls the first motor 900 to rotate, so as to drive the coin-supporting part 700 to vibrate.

[0074] In this embodiment, controlling the vibration of the coin holder 700 includes controlling the coin holder 700 to move from the avoidance position to the working position a set number of times. The set number of times can be once, twice, or more; this embodiment does not limit this. Thus, when a banknote cannot enter between the coin sorting roller 500 and the coin blocking section 600 due to an abnormal banknote condition, controlling the vibration of the coin holder 700 adjusts the banknote's condition. For example, it reduces the interaction force between adjacent banknotes, reducing the resistance to coin insertion, or adjusts the position of the banknote relative to the coin sorting roller 500, facilitating the second coin kicking roller 400 to drive the banknote between the coin sorting roller 500 and the coin blocking section 600, thereby improving the success rate of coin insertion.

[0075] Optionally, controlling the coin holder 700 to vibrate includes: controlling the coin holder 700 to move a set distance from the avoidance position to the working position and then return to the avoidance position, for example, the coin holder 700 moves to the middle position between the avoidance position and the working position and then returns to the avoidance position.

[0076] The coin insertion process of the coin insertion device 020 in this embodiment is as follows:

[0077] After the coin insertion device 020 is powered on and executes the initialization process or after the last coin insertion is completed, the controller 940 controls the first motor 900 to rotate, driving the coin support 700 to move to the working position. When the user inserts a banknote into the support part 210 of the coin insertion device 020, the controller 940 controls the second motor 950 to rotate, driving the first coin kicking roller 300, the second coin kicking roller 400, and the coin separating roller 500 to rotate synchronously. The coin support 700, located in the working position, supports the banknote, enabling the first coin kicking roller 300 to drive the banknote in contact with it (i.e., the bottommost banknote in the stack). A banknote moves along the coin insertion direction and aligns with the reference section 220, so that the front end of the first banknote abuts against the reference section 220. Since the second coin kicking roller 400 and the reference section 220 are arranged sequentially along the coin insertion direction, the front end of the banknote is located downstream of the second coin kicking roller 400. Then, the controller 940 controls the second motor 950 to stop rotating, so that the first coin kicking roller 300, the second coin kicking roller 400, and the coin dispensing roller 500 stop rotating synchronously. After that, the controller 940 controls the first motor 900 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the coin support 700 moves to the avoidance position. The controller 940... The second motor 950 is controlled to rotate, driving the first coin-kicking roller 300, the second coin-kicking roller 400, and the coin-separating roller 500 to rotate synchronously. The stacked banknotes fall onto and are supported by the support portion 210. Since the front end of the first banknote is downstream of the second coin-kicking roller 400, the first banknote falls onto the second coin-kicking roller 400, meaning the surface of the first banknote can contact the second coin-kicking roller 400. The second coin-kicking roller 400 can drive the first banknote to move towards the coin inlet 230, and through the coin inlet 230 into the space between the coin-separating roller 500 and the coin-blocking portion 600. At the same time, the first kicking roller 300 can drive the second banknote located above the first banknote to move to the second kicking roller 400, and the front end of the second banknote is aligned with the banknote blocking section 600. When the first banknote leaves the banknote separating roller 500 and banknote blocking section 600, the second kicking roller 400 can drive the second banknote to enter between the banknote separating roller 500 and banknote blocking section 600. In this way, under the joint drive of the first kicking roller 300 and the second kicking roller 400, the banknotes can be driven one after another from bottom to top through the banknote inlet 230 into the banknote separating roller 500 and banknote blocking section 600.

[0078] Optionally, the coin-distributing roller 500 includes a first spindle 510 and at least two coin-distributing wheels 511 sleeved on the first spindle 510, with the at least two coin-distributing wheels 511 spaced apart along the axial direction of the first spindle 510; the coin-blocking section 600 is a coin-blocking roller, which includes a second spindle 610 and a plurality of coin-blocking wheels 611 sleeved on the second spindle 610, with the plurality of coin-blocking wheels 611 spaced apart along the axial direction of the second spindle 610; the second spindle 610 is parallel to and spaced apart from the first spindle 510 on the frame 200, and the coin-blocking wheels 611 are inserted between two adjacent coin-distributing wheels 511, and are spaced apart from the adjacent two coin-distributing wheels 511 along the axial direction of the first spindle 510. This arrangement not only improves the reliability of the coin-blocking roller in preventing overlapping banknotes from entering between the coin-blocking roller and the coin-distributing roller 500, but also avoids wear problems caused by the contact between the coin-blocking wheels 611 and the coin-distributing wheels 511.

[0079] Of course, in other embodiments, the coin-blocking part 600 may also be a block-shaped or plate-shaped coin-blocking component.

[0080] In this embodiment, the linear velocity of the first coin-kicking roller 300 is configured to be greater than that of the second coin-kicking roller 400. This allows the first coin-kicking roller 300 to quickly drive the second coin above the first coin to the second coin-kicking roller 400 when the coin support 700 is in the clearance position and the second coin-kicking roller 400 is driving the first coin at the bottom towards the coin inlet 230. This ensures that when the first coin leaves the space between the coin-separating roller 500 and the coin-blocking section 600, the second coin-kicking roller 400 can drive the second coin into the space between the coin-separating roller 500 and the coin-blocking section 600. This ensures that the second coin-kicking roller 400 can reliably drive the coin from bottom to top, one coin after another, through the coin inlet 230 into the space between the coin-separating roller 500 and the coin-blocking section 600, further improving the reliability of coin insertion.

[0081] Optionally, the coin insertion device 020 also includes a transmission assembly. The first motor is simultaneously connected to the first coin kicking roller 300, the second coin kicking roller 400, and the coin dispensing roller 500 through the transmission assembly, and the linear velocity of the first coin kicking roller 300 is greater than that of the second coin kicking roller 400 through the transmission assembly. The transmission assembly includes, but is not limited to, a gear assembly and a belt drive assembly.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In this embodiment, the frame 200 is provided with a coin-holding cavity 201, which has a bottom wall and side walls 203 arranged at an angle. The bottom wall forms a support portion 210, and the reference portion 220 is a reinforcing rib centrally located on the side wall 203 along the width direction of the banknote. With this arrangement, when a folded banknote enters the coin inlet 230, the reference portion 220 located in the middle of the side wall 203 can contact the middle of the banknote, and the space between the side walls 203 on both sides of the reference portion 220 and the support portion 210 is relatively large. The folded part of the banknote can easily pass through the space between the two sides of the reference portion 220 and the support portion 210 and smoothly enter the coin inlet 230, thereby reducing the requirements for the banknote placed on the support portion 210.

[0083] Optionally, the coin-holding cavity 201 has a coin-dispensing opening 202 for placing banknotes into the coin-holding cavity 201. The coin-dispensing opening 202 and the coin-inlet opening 230 are opposite to each other and spaced apart along the coin-inlet direction. In this embodiment, the coin-inlet direction is the front-to-back direction. The coin-inlet opening 230 is opposite to and spaced apart in front of the coin-dispensing opening 202. That is, when the coin-supporting member 700 is in the working position, the coin-supporting member 700 can support the front part of the banknote, and the first coin-kicking roller 300 can contact the rear part of the banknote. When the first coin-kicking roller 300 rotates, it can drive the banknote to move forward and make the front end of the banknote abut against the base part 220 under the drive of the first coin-kicking roller 300.

[0084] Optionally, the bottom wall of the coin-holding cavity 201 is inclined downwards along the coin-insertion direction. This design improves the smoothness of the coin's movement along the coin-insertion direction.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In this embodiment, the support portion 210 has a first support surface 211 for supporting banknotes, and the reference portion 220 includes a reference surface 221 and a guide surface 222 arranged at an angle. The guide surface 222 is opposite to and spaced apart from the first support surface 211, and a coin inlet 230 is formed between the guide surface 222 and the first support surface 211. The first end of the coin holder 700 is located below the first support surface 211, and the first end of the coin holder 700 is pivotally connected to the frame 200 via a first pivot shaft 710. The coin holder 700 can rotate relative to the frame 200 around the first pivot shaft 710. The axis of the coin holder 700 rotates between the working position and the avoidance position. When the coin holder 700 is in the working position, the second end of the coin holder 700 extends through the first support surface 211 toward the reference surface 221, so that when the first coin kicking roller 300 drives the banknote to move along the coin holder 700, the front end of the banknote can abut against the reference surface 221, that is, the banknote is aligned along the reference surface 221, and at the same time, the coin holder 700 blocks the coin inlet 230. When the coin holder 700 is in the avoidance position, the second end of the coin holder 700 is not higher than the first support surface 211, so that the coin inlet 230 is exposed. In this embodiment, when the coin holder 700 is in the avoidance position, the second end of the coin holder 700 is flush with the first support surface 211, so that the coin inlet 230 is exposed. Of course, in other embodiments, when the coin holder 700 is in the avoidance position, the second end of the coin holder 700 may also be located below the first support surface 211, so that the coin inlet 230 is exposed. With this configuration, when the coin holder 700 is in the working position, a portion of the surface of the banknote placed into the coin insertion device 020 is supported by the first support surface 211, and another portion is supported by the coin holder 700. When the first coin kicker 300 drives the banknote to move, the banknote can move along the coin holder 700 and, guided by the coin holder 700, abut against the reference surface 221, thus reliably aligning the banknote at the reference surface 221. At this time, the coin holder 700 blocks the coin inlet 230, preventing the banknote from entering the coin inlet 230, thereby improving the reliability of the banknote's alignment along the reference surface 221 before entering the coin inlet 230.

[0086] It should be understood that in other embodiments, the coin holder 700 may also be configured to slide with the frame 200. For example, the coin holder 700 can slide relative to the frame 200 in the vertical direction between a working position and a clearance position. Specifically, the coin holder 700 has an inclined surface. When the coin holder 700 is in the working position, the lower end of the inclined surface is connected to the first support surface 211, and the upper end of the inclined surface is adjacent to the reference surface 221. When a banknote is placed into the coin insertion device 020, a portion of the banknote's surface is supported by the first support surface. The banknote is supported by surface 211, and another part of the banknote surface is supported by an inclined surface. When the first coin kicking roller 300 rotates, it drives the banknote to move along the inclined surface and abut against the reference surface 221, so that the banknote is aligned with the reference surface 221. When the coin support 700 is in the avoidance position, the high end of the inclined surface is not higher than the first support surface 211, exposing the coin inlet 230. The first support surface 211 supports the entire banknote. The rotation of the second coin kicking roller 400 drives the banknote to enter between the coin dispensing roller 500 and the coin blocking part 600 through the coin inlet 230.

[0087] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the coin holder 700 in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the coin insertion device 020 in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 8 for Figure 7 Enlarged view of section VIII.

[0088] Please refer to Figures 3-8 In this embodiment, the coin holder 700 is further provided with a second support surface 701 for supporting banknotes and a clearance groove 702 penetrating the second support surface 701. When the coin holder 700 is in the working position, the second coin kicking roller 400 is located below the second support surface 701. When the coin holder 700 is in the clearance position, a portion of the second coin kicking roller 400 protrudes from the second support surface 701 through the clearance groove 702. With this configuration, when the coin holder 700 is in the working position, it ensures that the second coin kicking roller 400 does not contact the banknote, thus preventing the second coin kick from driving the banknote to move. When the coin holder 700 is in the clearance position, it ensures that the second coin kicking roller 400 can reliably contact the banknote to reliably drive the banknote to move towards the coin inlet 230.

[0089] Optionally, the first pivot shaft 710 is located between the first coin kicking roller 300 and the second coin kicking roller 400. This arrangement allows the coin holder 700 to reliably block or expose the second coin kicking roller 400 when rotating around the axis of the first pivot shaft 710 between the working position and the clearance position. Thus, when the coin holder 700 is in the working position, the first coin kicking roller 300 can be used to reliably move the banknote to be aligned with the reference surface 221, and when the coin holder 700 is in the clearance position, the first coin kicking roller 300 and the second coin kicking roller 400 can be used to reliably drive the banknote into the coin inlet 230.

[0090] Optionally, when the coin holder 700 is in the clearance position, the second support surface 701 is coplanar with the first support surface 211. This arrangement ensures that when the coin holder 700 is in the clearance position, the banknote is supported by both the first support surface 211 and the second support surface 701. This not only improves the stability of the banknote support but also avoids the problem of the height difference between the first and second support surfaces 211 hindering the movement of the banknote, ensuring that the banknote smoothly enters the coin inlet 230. In other embodiments, when the coin holder 700 is in the clearance position, the second support surface 701 may also be located below the first support surface 211.

[0091] Optionally, the coin holder 700 is provided with multiple clearance slots 702; the second coin kicking roller 400 includes a third spindle 410 and multiple coin kicking wheels 411 disposed on the third spindle 410, and the multiple coin kicking wheels 411 are spaced apart along the axial extension direction of the third spindle 410; the multiple coin kicking wheels 411 are inserted into the multiple clearance slots 702 one by one. With this configuration, when the coin holder 700 is in the clearance position, the multiple coin kicking wheels 411 can reliably drive the banknote into the coin inlet 230, and when the coin holder 700 is in the working position, the second support surfaces 701 at both ends of each coin kicking wheel 411 are used to support the banknote, thereby preventing the banknote from contacting the coin kicking wheel 411.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the support portion 210 is provided with an insert plate 212. When the coin holder 700 moves relative to the frame 200 to the working position or the clearance position, the insert plate 212 is always inserted into the clearance slot 702. This configuration improves the reliability of the connection between the coin holder 700 and the support portion 210, preventing banknotes from entering between the support portion 210 and the coin holder 700 when the coin holder 700 is in the working position or the clearance position, thus ensuring the reliability of the banknotes moving from the support portion 210 to the second support surface 701.

[0093] Optionally, the support portion 210 is provided with a plurality of insert plates 212, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the banknote, and the plurality of insert plates 212 are inserted into the plurality of clearance slots 702 one by one. With this configuration, when the banknote support 700 is in the working position, the banknote support 700 and the insert plates 212 can jointly block the second banknote kicking roller 400, preventing the narrower banknote from contacting the kicking rollers 411 located at both ends of the plurality of kicking rollers 411, thereby preventing the kicking rollers 411 from obstructing the movement of the banknote, and thus reliably guiding the banknote to move to the base portion 220. Moreover, when the banknote support 700 is in the clearance position, the plurality of insert plates 212 can guide the banknote to contact the plurality of kicking rollers 411 of the second banknote kicking roller 400, ensuring the reliability of the second banknote kicking roller 400 driving the banknote through the banknote inlet 230 into the space between the banknote dispensing roller 500 and the banknote blocking portion 600.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the coin holder 700 is further provided with an insertion part 720, and the reference part 220 is further provided with an insertion slot 223. When the coin holder 700 is in the working position, the insertion part 720 is inserted into the insertion slot 223 to block the coin inlet 230. This arrangement prevents the user from directly inserting the banknote into the coin inlet 230 when the coin holder 700 is in the working position, ensuring that the banknote is aligned along the reference part 220 before entering the coin inlet 230.

[0095] Of course, in other embodiments, the base part 220 is provided with a plug-in part 720 and the coin holder 700 is provided with a plug-in groove 223; when the coin holder 700 is in the working position, the plug-in part 720 is plugged into the plug-in groove 223 to block the coin inlet 230.

[0096] Optionally, the coin holder 700 is provided with multiple insertion parts 720, and the base part 220 is provided with multiple insertion slots 223. When the coin holder 700 is in the working position, the multiple insertion parts 720 and the multiple insertion slots 223 are inserted one-to-one. This arrangement reliably prevents the user from directly inserting banknotes into the coin slot 230 when the coin holder 700 is in the working position.

[0097] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the insertion part 720 is provided with a third support surface 722 for supporting banknotes. When the coin holder 700 is in the clearance position, the insertion part 720 is inserted between two adjacent coin-distributing rollers 511, and a portion of the coin-distributing rollers 511 protrudes from the third support surface 722. Specifically, two adjacent coin-distributing rollers 511 are inserted into one insertion part 720, and the insertion part 720 is lower than the highest point of the coin-distributing rollers 511. This arrangement allows the banknotes to move smoothly between the coin-distributing roller 500 and the coin-blocking part 600, and to reliably contact the coin-distributing roller 500, ensuring the reliability of the coin-distributing roller 500 in driving the banknotes. Optionally, when the coin holder 700 is in the working position, the third support surface 722 is inserted into the insertion slot 223. This configuration allows the banknote to be reliably aligned with the reference section 220 via the third support surface 722, and at the same time, when the coin holder 700 is in the working position, it can more reliably prevent the user from directly inserting the banknote into the coin slot 230.

[0098] Optionally, the insertion part 720 and the coin support part 700 are integrally formed, and the third support surface 722 is connected to the second support surface 701. This arrangement further improves the reliability of the banknote moving through the second support surface 701 between the coin dispensing roller 500 and the coin blocking part 600.

[0099] Figure 9 for Figure 2A magnified view at point IX; please refer to it. Figure 9 Optionally, the support portion 210 also includes multiple limiting plates 213. Each pair of adjacent coin-distributing wheels 511 is connected to a limiting plate 213, and the limiting plate 213 is positioned below the highest point of the coin-distributing wheel 511. Each limiting plate 213 has a first limiting surface 214, and each insertion portion 720 has a second limiting surface 721. When the coin holder 700 is in the clearance position, the second limiting surfaces 721 of the multiple insertion portions 720 abut against the first limiting surfaces 214 of the multiple limiting plates 213 in a one-to-one correspondence. This configuration improves the stability of the coin holder 700 in the clearance position and effectively prevents the coin-distributing wheel 511 from rotating unevenly due to contact between the insertion portion 720 and the coin-distributing wheel 511.

[0100] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The coin insertion device 020 of this embodiment also includes a coin pressing component 800, which is distributed opposite to the second coin kicking roller 400 and is used to press the banknotes toward the second coin kicking roller 400. The coin pressing component 800 is movably connected to the frame 200 and can move relative to the frame 200 to approach or move away from the second coin kicking roller 400. The coin pressing component 800 always has a tendency to move closer to the second coin kicking roller 400. When the coin supporting component 700 moves to the working position, the coin supporting component 700 can be driven to connect with the coin pressing component 800. When the coin supporting component 700 and the coin pressing component 800 are driven to connect, the coin supporting component 700 drives the coin pressing component 800 to move away from the second coin kicking roller 400. When the coin supporting component 700 moves to the avoidance position, the coin supporting component 700 and the coin pressing component 800 are disconnected from the drive connection, and the coin pressing component 800 can approach the second coin kicking roller 400. With this configuration, when the coin holder 700 moves to the working position, the coin pressing component 800 can move away from the second coin kicker roller 400 under the drive of the coin holder 700, thus facilitating the user to place banknotes between the coin holder 700 and the coin pressing component 800. When the coin holder 700 moves to the avoidance position, the transmission connection between the coin holder 700 and the coin pressing component 800 is disconnected, and the coin pressing component 800 can move towards the second coin kicker roller 400, thereby pressing the banknotes tightly against the second coin kicker roller 400. As the number of banknotes on the support part 210 decreases, the coin pressing component 800 gradually approaches the second coin kicker roller 400, ensuring that the coin pressing component 800 always presses the banknotes tightly, increasing the friction between the banknotes and the second coin kicker roller 400, thereby ensuring that the second coin kicker roller 400 can reliably drive the banknotes into the coin inlet 230.

[0101] Figure 10 This is a partial enlarged view of the coin insertion device 020 in an embodiment of the present invention; please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 10Optionally, the coin insertion device 020 further includes a second elastic element 903. The second elastic element 903 is used to ensure that the coin pressing element 800 always has a tendency to move closer to the second coin kicking roller 400. That is, when the coin supporting element 700 moves to the avoidance position, the coin supporting element 700 and the coin pressing element 800 are disconnected from the transmission connection. Under the action of the second elastic element 903, the coin pressing element 800 moves toward the direction closer to the second coin kicking roller 400 to reliably press the banknotes onto the second coin kicking roller 400. As the number of banknotes on the support part 210 decreases, the coin pressing element 800 gradually moves closer to the second coin kicking roller 400 under the action of the second elastic element 903, which can ensure that there is a sufficiently large friction between the banknotes and the second coin kicking roller 400.

[0102] Of course, in other embodiments, when the coin holder 700 moves to the avoidance position, the coin holder 700 is disconnected from the coin pressing member 800, and the coin pressing member 800 moves toward the direction of the second coin kicking roller 400 under its own weight. As the number of banknotes on the support 210 decreases, the coin pressing member 800 gradually moves closer to the second coin kicking roller 400 under its own weight.

[0103] Optionally, the coin pressing component 800 is pivotally connected to the frame 200 via a second pivot shaft 810. The second pivot shaft 810 is located on the side of the reference portion 220 away from the second coin kicking roller 400. The coin pressing component 800 passes through the reference portion 220 and faces the second coin kicking roller 400. The coin pressing component 800 can rotate around the axis of the second pivot shaft 810 to move closer to or away from the second coin kicking roller 400. This arrangement makes efficient use of the mounting space on both sides of the reference portion 220 and improves the structural compactness.

[0104] Optionally, the second pivot shaft 810 is rotatably connected to the frame 200. The coin pressing component 800 includes a coin pressing plate 801 and a connecting plate 802. The coin pressing plate 801 is opposite to the second coin kicking roller 400 and is used to press the banknotes against the second coin kicking roller 400. The first end of the connecting plate 802 is fixedly connected to the second pivot shaft 810 by fasteners, and the second end of the connecting plate 802 passes through the reference portion 220 and is fixedly connected to the coin pressing plate 801 by fasteners. This arrangement further ensures a compact structural design.

[0105] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 10The coin insertion device 020 also includes a cam 901 and a first elastic element 902. The cam 901 is connected to the first motor 900 and can also be connected to the coin support member 700. When the first motor 900 drives the cam 901 to rotate, the cam 901 can drive the coin support member 700 to rotate towards the working position. When the coin support member 700 rotates towards the working position, it can be connected to the coin pressing member 800, so that the coin support member 700 can drive the coin pressing member 800 to rotate away from the second coin kicking roller 400. The first elastic element 902 is used to make the coin support member 700 always have a tendency to rotate towards the avoidance position. That is, when the cam 901 rotates to the point where it no longer drives the coin support member 700 to rotate, the coin support member 700 returns to the avoidance position under the elastic action of the first elastic element 902, so as to ensure that the banknote can smoothly enter the coin inlet 230.

[0106] Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the frame 200 and the coin pressing component 800 from a first-view perspective in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the frame 200 and the coin pressing component 800 from a second perspective in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0107] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 The first pivot shaft 710 is rotatably connected to the frame 200, and the coin holder 700 is fixedly connected to the first pivot shaft 710; the second pivot shaft 810 is rotatably connected to the frame 200, and the coin pressing component 800 is fixedly connected to the second pivot shaft 810; the coin inserting device 020 also includes a first transmission component 910 and a second transmission component 920, the first transmission component 910 being fixedly connected to the first pivot shaft 710, the second transmission component 920 being fixedly connected to the second pivot shaft 810, and a first elastic component 902 being connected between the first transmission component 910 and the frame 200. Two elastic elements 903 are connected between the second transmission element 920 and the frame 200. When the first motor 900 drives the cam 901 to rotate, the cam 901 can drive the first transmission element 910 to rotate around the axis of the first pivot shaft 710. The first transmission element 910 drives the coin holder 700 to rotate to the working position through the first pivot shaft 710. At the same time, the first transmission element 910 can drive the second transmission element 920 to rotate around the axis of the second pivot shaft 810. The second transmission element 920 drives the coin pressing element 800 away from the second coin kicking roller 400 through the second pivot shaft 810.

[0108] Optionally, the first transmission member 910 includes a first transmission plate 911 and a first drive shaft 912 and a second drive shaft 913 fixedly connected to the first transmission plate 911. The first transmission plate 911 is fixedly connected to the first pivot shaft 710. The second transmission member 920 is the second transmission plate. The first drive shaft 912 is used to abut against the cam 901, and the second drive shaft 913 is used to abut against the second transmission plate. When the first motor 900 drives the cam 901 to rotate, the cam 901 can abut against the first drive shaft 912 to drive the first transmission plate 911 to rotate the coin holder 700 to the working position. At the same time, the second drive shaft 913 can drive the second transmission plate to rotate around the axis of the second pivot shaft 810. The second transmission plate drives the coin pressing member 800 away from the second coin kicking roller 400 through the second pivot shaft 810.

[0109] Optionally, when the first motor 900 drives the cam 901 to rotate by a set angle, the cam 901 abuts against the first drive shaft 912 to drive the first transmission plate 911 to rotate the coin holder 700 to the working position. In other embodiments, the cam 901 may always abut against the first drive shaft 912, which is not limited here.

[0110] Optionally, when the coin holder 700 is in the avoidance position, the second drive shaft 913 abuts against the second transmission plate. While the first motor 900 drives the coin holder 700 to rotate towards the working position, the second drive shaft 913 drives the coin pressing member 800 away from the second coin kicking roller 400 via the second transmission plate. In other embodiments, when the coin holder 700 is in the avoidance position, the second drive shaft 913 is separated from the second transmission plate. When the first motor 900 drives the coin holder 700 to rotate towards the working position by a set angle, the second drive shaft 913 abuts against the second transmission plate and drives the coin pressing member 800 away from the second coin kicking roller 400 via the second transmission plate; this is not limited here.

[0111] In this embodiment, when the cash recycling device 020 inserts a coin, the coin support member 700 moves to the working position. After the user inserts the banknote into the coin receiving cavity 201 from the coin inlet 202, the coin support member 700 supports the banknote. Under the action of the first coin kicking roller 300, the banknote moves to the reference part 220 and aligns with the reference part 220. Then, the coin support member 700 moves to the clearance position, and the banknote supported by the coin support member 700 falls onto the second coin kicking roller 400 to ensure that the bottommost banknote contacts the second coin kicking roller 400. The first coin kicking roller 300 and the second coin kicking roller 400 are used to make the banknotes enter the coin inlet 230 one by one.

[0112] In summary, the coin insertion device 020 of the present invention is used in the cash circulation processing equipment 010, and the coin insertion device 020 can solve the problem of coin jamming caused by the uneven stacking of multiple banknotes, thereby improving the reliability of coin insertion.

[0113] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
