[0056] Embodiments of the present application are described below in detail, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary only, for the purpose of explanation, and are not to be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0057] The following description refers to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-4 The dispensing device provided by the embodiments of the present application is described below, which comprises a housing 100, a conveying mechanism 200, a pushing mechanism 300, a scanning module 400, a first position detection module and a controller.

[0058] The housing 100 forms a first containing cavity 110 with a first inlet 111 and a first outlet 112. That is, the housing 100 provides a physical space for storage and conveying of the financial medium 10. The material of the housing 100 includes but is not limited to stainless steel, aluminum alloy or titanium alloy, etc. It should be noted that the size of the first inlet 111, the first outlet 112 and the first containing cavity 110 can be designed according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations thereon.

[0059] It should be noted that the financial medium 10 includes but is not limited to Ukey, a box-shaped structure containing at least one of commemorative coins and Renminbi, etc.

[0060] The conveying mechanism 200 is arranged in the first containing cavity 110 and used for conveying the financial medium 10 to the first outlet 112. The pushing mechanism 300 is movably arranged in the first containing cavity 110 and has a first state and a second state. The pushing mechanism 300 is used for receiving the financial medium 10 from the first inlet 111 in the first state, and the pushing mechanism 300 is used for transferring the financial medium 10 to the conveying mechanism 200 in the second state.

[0061] It can be understood that when the financial medium 10 needs to be dispensed to the customer, the pushing mechanism 300 is switched from the first state to the second state to transfer the financial medium 10 located at the first inlet 111 to the conveying mechanism 200, and then the financial medium 10 is conveyed to the first outlet 112 by the conveying mechanism 200, so that the customer can take away the financial medium 10 from the first outlet 112, thereby improving the dispensing efficiency. At the same time, since the conveying mechanism 200 and the pushing mechanism 300 are both located in the housing 100, the automation of dispensing of the financial medium 10 is realized while the safety of dispensing is ensured.

[0062] The scanning module 400 is arranged in the housing 100 and is configured to scan the financial medium 10 in motion. The first position detection module is configured to obtain a position signal of the financial medium 10. The controller is electrically connected with the conveying mechanism 200, the first position detection module and the scanning module 400, and is configured to control the conveying mechanism 200 and the scanning module 400 to enter the working mode according to the position signal of the financial medium 10.

[0063] It can be understood that, when the controller determines that the financial medium 10 is at the feeding end of the conveying mechanism 200 (i.e., the conveying mechanism 200 switches to the second state) according to the first position detection module, the controller controls the conveying mechanism 200 to work to move the financial medium 10 towards the first outlet 112, and controls the scanning module 400 to scan the barcode arranged on the financial medium 10 during the movement of the financial medium 10, so as to ensure the identity verification and information recording of the financial medium 10 during the dispensing process, reduce the possibility of pause during the dispensing process of the financial medium 10, improve the dispensing efficiency, and enhance the safety and reliability of the dispensing of the financial medium 10.

[0064] According to the dispensing device provided in the embodiments of the present application, the dispensing of the financial medium 10 is realized automatically, time and labor are saved, and the dispensing efficiency and reliability are improved.

[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1-4 the pushing mechanism 300, the conveying mechanism 200 and the first outlet 112 are sequentially distributed along the first horizontal direction, and the first inlet 111 is parallel to the vertical direction.

[0066] For the convenience of subsequent understanding, the length direction of the financial medium 10 is parallel to the first horizontal direction, the width direction of the financial medium 10 is parallel to the second horizontal direction, and the thickness direction of the financial medium 10 is parallel to the vertical direction.

[0067] It can be understood that, the first outlet 112 is parallel to the first horizontal direction, i.e., the financial medium 10 sequentially passes through the pushing mechanism 300, the conveying mechanism 200 and the first outlet 112 along the first horizontal direction, so that the financial medium 10 always moves along a straight line, ensuring the stability of the dispensing process of the financial medium 10, and improving the compactness of the structure of the dispensing device, so as to be suitable for installation and use in a limited space such as a bank counter or a self-service terminal. Meanwhile, the first inlet 111 is parallel to the vertical direction, which facilitates the financial medium 10 to vertically fall on the pushing mechanism 300 in the first state by using its own gravity, realizes the automatic reception of the financial medium 10, further improves the compactness of the structure of the dispensing device, and ensures the cooperation of the pushing mechanism 300 and the conveying mechanism 200, and improves the dispensing efficiency.

[0068] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2-4As shown, the pushing mechanism 300 comprises a main body 310 and a first driving assembly. The main body 310 forms a through slot 311 for accommodating part of the financial medium 10, the through slot 311 penetrates the main body 310 along a direction close to the conveying mechanism 200, and the direction of the through slot 311 is parallel to the first inlet 111. The fixed end of the first driving assembly is arranged on the shell 100, and the driving end of the first driving assembly is connected with the main body 310, for driving the main body 310 to move close to or away from the conveying mechanism 200. It should be noted that the shape and size of the through slot 311 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not make specific limitations.

[0069] It can be understood that the first inlet 111 and the through slot 311 are parallel, so that the financial medium 10 can be directly placed in the through slot 311 after entering the accommodation cavity through the first inlet 111. In addition, the through slot 311 penetrates the main body 310 along the direction close to the conveying mechanism 200, i.e. the first horizontal direction, so as to ensure that the part of the financial medium 10 located outside the through slot 311 can be transferred to the conveying mechanism 200 when the pushing mechanism 300 switches from the first state to the second state. At the same time, the first driving assembly drives the main body 310 to move along the first horizontal direction to realize the switching of the pushing mechanism 300 between the first state and the second state.

[0070] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 2-4 The length of the through slot 311 is less than the length of the financial medium 10, and the depth of the through slot 311 is less than the thickness of the financial medium 10, which not only facilitates the butt joint of the financial medium 10 between the first inlet 111 and the through slot 311, but also ensures that the financial medium 10 is transferred to the conveying mechanism 200 under the action of the pushing mechanism 300.

[0071] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2-4 The first driving assembly comprises a first driving member 321, two synchronizing wheels 322 arranged at intervals, and a synchronizing belt 323. The fixed end of the first driving member 321 is arranged on the shell 100. One of the synchronizing wheels 322 is sleeved on the output shaft of the first driving member 321. The synchronizing belt 323 is wound around the synchronizing wheels 322 and connected with the main body 310. The first driving member 321 includes but is not limited to a rotary motor.

[0072] It can be understood that the two synchronizing wheels 322 are arranged at intervals along the first horizontal direction. When the first driving member 321 is started, one of the synchronizing wheels 322 is driven to rotate through the output shaft, and the synchronizing belt 323 is also driven to rotate, so that the main body 310 moves close to or away from the conveying mechanism 200 along the first horizontal direction, to realize the switching of the pushing mechanism 300 between the first state and the second state. Of course, in other embodiments, the first driving assembly can also drive the main body 310 to move by using gear transmission or screw transmission, and this embodiment does not make specific limitations.

[0073] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2-4 The pushing mechanism 300 further comprises two stop blocks 330, which are arranged at intervals, at least partially arranged in the through slot 311 and located at an end away from the conveying mechanism 200, and adapted to abut against the financial medium 10.

[0074] It can be understood that the two stop blocks 330 are arranged at intervals along the second horizontal direction, and the stop blocks 330 are located at an end of the through slot 311 away from the first outlet 112 along the first horizontal direction. By abutting against the end surface of the financial medium 10 with the stop blocks 330, the main body 310 cannot move or slide out of the through slot 311 when moving along the first horizontal direction towards the conveying mechanism 200, thereby ensuring the reliability of the transfer of the financial medium 10 to the conveying mechanism 200.

[0075] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2-4 The side of the stop block 330 close to the conveying mechanism 200 comprises an inclined surface, which is inclined towards the conveying mechanism 200 along the direction of the bottom of the through slot 311. It should be noted that the size and inclination angle of the inclined surface can be designed according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations.

[0076] It can be understood that the inclined surface is inclined towards the conveying mechanism 200 along the first horizontal direction from top to bottom, thereby facilitating the smooth falling of the financial medium 10 from the first inlet 111 into the through slot 311, reducing the contact area between the main body 310 and the financial medium 10 during movement, reducing friction, and helping the smoothness of the transfer of the financial medium 10 to the conveying mechanism 200.

[0077] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2-4 The main body 310 forms a guide hole, and the first driving assembly further comprises a guide rod 324, which is arranged in the housing 100 and extends towards the conveying mechanism 200, and the guide rod 324 and the guide hole are in sliding fit.

[0078] It can be understood that the guide rod 324 is slidably arranged in the guide hole, and the two ends of the guide rod 324 extend out of the guide hole and are connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity, thereby guiding the movement of the main body 310, ensuring the stability and linearity of the main body 310 during movement, reducing the deviation of the main body 310 during movement, and improving the reliability of the transfer of the financial medium 10.

[0079] In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 4As shown, two guide rods 324 are spaced along the second horizontal direction to improve the stability of the movement of the main body 310 along the first horizontal direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the number and specific distribution of the guide rods 324 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0080] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2-4 As shown, the conveying mechanism 200 includes a second driving member 210, a plurality of transmission wheels 220, and a conveying belt 230. The fixed end of the second driving member 210 is arranged in the housing 100, and the driving end of the second driving member 210 is connected to one of the transmission wheels 220 to drive the transmission wheel 220 to rotate about an axis parallel to the second horizontal direction. The conveying belt 230 is arranged outside the transmission wheel 220 and can carry the financial medium 10. The second driving member 210 includes, but is not limited to, a rotary motor.

[0081] It can be understood that when the second driving member 210 is started, one of the transmission wheels 220 is driven to rotate by the output shaft, and at the same time, the conveying belt 230 is driven to rotate, so that the financial medium 10 moves along the first horizontal direction to approach the first outlet 112.

[0082] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2-4 As shown, two conveying belts 230 are spaced along the second horizontal direction to increase the contact area with the financial medium 10 and ensure the stability of the movement of the financial medium 10 between the pushing mechanism 300 and the first outlet 112. Of course, in other embodiments, the number and specific distribution of the conveying belts 230 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0083] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2-4 As shown, the first position detection module includes a position sensing sheet 510 and a first proximity switch 520. The position sensing sheet 510 is arranged in the main body 310, and the first proximity switch 520 is mounted in the first containing cavity 110 and electrically connected to the controller. The first proximity switch 520 and the position sensing sheet 510 are inductively matched to obtain a first position signal, and the controller controls the conveying mechanism 200 to enter the working mode based on the first position signal.

[0084] It can be understood that when the pushing mechanism 300 is switched from the first state to the second state, the main body 310 approaches the conveying belt 230 under the action of the first driving member 321. The position sensing sheet 510 and the first proximity switch 520 are inductively matched to obtain a first position signal. According to the first position signal, the controller can determine that the financial medium 10 has been at least partially transferred to the conveying mechanism 200, so as to control the conveying belt 230 to enter the working mode, i.e., the output shaft of the second driving member 210 rotates and drives the conveying belt 230 and the financial medium 10 to move, thereby realizing the conveying of the financial medium 10 to the first outlet 112.

[0085] In some embodiments, the controller is also electrically connected with the pushing mechanism 300 for controlling whether the pushing mechanism 300 works.

[0086] It can be understood that the controller controls the pushing mechanism 300 to pause based on the first position signal, that is, the output shaft of the first driving member 321 stops rotating, and the synchronous belt 323 does not move, so as to reduce the interference between the main body part 310 and the conveying belt 230 while the financial medium 10 is transferred to the conveying mechanism 200. Similarly, after the financial medium 10 completely leaves the main body part 310, the controller controls the output shaft of the first driving member 321 to reverse, so as to realize the switching of the pushing mechanism 300 from the second state to the first state.

[0087] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2-4 The first position detection module further includes a second proximity switch 530, the second proximity switch 530 and the first proximity switch 520 are arranged in a first horizontal direction, and the second proximity switch 530 is located on the side of the first proximity switch 520 away from the conveying mechanism 200. The second proximity switch 530 and the position sensing sheet 510 are in sensing cooperation to obtain an initial position signal, and the controller controls the first driving member 321 to stop based on the initial position signal.

[0088] It can be understood that, when the pushing mechanism 300 switches from the second state to the first state, the main body part 310 is away from the conveying belt 230 under the action of the first driving member 321, the position sensing sheet 510 and the second proximity switch 530 are in sensing cooperation to obtain an initial position signal, and the controller can judge that the pushing mechanism 300 switches to the first state according to the initial position signal, so as to control the pushing mechanism 300 to stop, that is, the output shaft of the first driving member 321 stops rotating, so as to ensure that the main body part 310 is parked accurately, so that the financial medium 10 can be accurately received from the first inlet 111 in the subsequent process, and the dispensing efficiency and reliability are improved.

[0089] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2-4 The first position detection module further includes a position sensor 540, the position sensor 540 is arranged in the first accommodating cavity 110 and is electrically connected with the controller, and the position sensor 540 is arranged close to the conveying mechanism 200 to obtain a second position signal, and the controller controls the scanning module 400 to enter a working mode based on the second position signal. The position sensor 540 includes but is not limited to a photoelectric sensor.

[0090] It can be understood that the position sensor 540 is arranged in the first accommodating cavity 110 and close to the middle part of the conveying belt 230. When the financial medium 10 reaches the middle part of the conveying mechanism 200, the position sensor 540 senses the financial medium 10 and generates a second position signal. After the controller receives the second position signal, the scanning module 400 is controlled to enter the working mode, that is, the scanning module 400 scans the financial medium 10 moving along the first horizontal direction to record the barcode image of the financial medium 10, so as to ensure that the issued financial medium 10 is correct and improve the reliability and efficiency of the issuance.

[0091] In some embodiments, the working mode of the conveying mechanism 200 has a starting stage and a maintaining stage; wherein, when the scanning module 400 is in the working mode, the conveying mechanism 200 is in the starting stage.

[0092] It should be noted that the conveying mechanism 200 is in the starting stage when the controller obtains the second position signal.

[0093] It can be understood that, since the rotation speed of the output shaft of the second driving member 210 in the starting stage is less than the rotation speed of the output shaft of the second driving member 210 in the maintaining stage, the scanning module 400 scans the financial medium 10 in the starting stage of the conveying mechanism 200, so that the financial medium 10 stays in the scanning area of the scanning module 400 for a longer time, improves the scanning accuracy, and ensures that the cooperation between the conveying mechanism 200 and the scanning module 400 is more stable. At the same time, the scanning module 400 can also use the real-time feedback scanning result to stop the conveying mechanism 200 in time when the financial medium 10 is found to be abnormal, so as to avoid the possibility of the wrong financial medium 10 being issued from the first outlet 112, and ensure the safety and reliability of the issuance process.

[0094] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the dispensing device further comprises a second position detection module 600, which is arranged in the housing 100 and electrically connected with the controller, and is used for detecting whether the financial medium 10 at the first outlet 112 exists or not. The second position detection module 600 includes but is not limited to a photoelectric sensor.

[0095] It can be understood that, by arranging the second position detection module 600 close to the first outlet 112, whether the financial medium 10 at the first outlet 112 exists or not is detected, so as to facilitate the controller to judge whether the customer takes away the financial medium 10 at the first outlet 112 in time, and improve the reliability of the issuance.

[0096] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the dispensing device further comprises a box body 700, the box body 700 partially extends into the shell 100, and the box body 700 forms a second containing cavity with a second outlet 711, the second outlet 711 is located between the pushing mechanism 300 and the first inlet 111, and the second containing cavity is used for containing a plurality of stacked financial media 10. It should be noted that the size and shape of the second outlet 711 and the second containing cavity can be designed according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0097] It can be understood that the first inlet 111 is upward, and the second outlet 711 is downward, that is, the plurality of stacked financial media 10 in the second containing cavity and located at the lowermost position fall on the through slot 311 through the second outlet 711, so as to play a role of continuously dispensing the financial media 10. At the same time, the box body 700 partially extends into the first containing cavity 110 through the first inlet 111, which can also make the structure of the entire dispensing device more compact and improve the space utilization of the entire dispensing device.

[0098] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2-4 The containing cavity also has a avoiding port 113, and the dispensing device further comprises a pressing strip 800, the pressing strip 800 is elastically connected with the shell 100 and located at the avoiding port 113, and the pressing strip 800 and the conveying belt 230 of the conveying mechanism 200 jointly clamp the financial media 10. It should be noted that the shape and size of the avoiding port 113 can be designed according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.
