[0087] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0088] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 14 The financial processing device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described, and the financial processing device includes a housing 100 , a sorting device 200 , a storage box 300 and a plurality of coin dispensing devices 400 .

[0089] The housing 100 forms a housing cavity, and the housing cavity has an input port 111 and a change port 112 that are connected to the outside. The sorting device 200 is arranged in the housing cavity and has a first inlet and a plurality of coin-collecting ports 2111, the first inlet is used to directly receive a plurality of financial media 900 output from the input port 111, and the change port 112 is connected to one of the coin-collecting ports 2111. The storage box 300 is arranged in the housing cavity and is used to store financial media 900. A plurality of coin-dispensing devices 400 are arranged in the housing cavity and correspond to the remaining coin-collecting ports 2111 one by one, and the coin-dispensing devices 400 are used to receive the financial media 900 outputted in sequence from the corresponding coin-collecting ports 2111, and transfer the financial media 900 to one of the change port 112 and the storage box 300, and the types of financial media 900 in each coin-dispensing device 400 are different.

[0090] It should be noted that the shapes and sizes of the accommodating cavity, the input port 111, the change port 112, the first inlet and the coin dispensing port 2111 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this. Similarly, the number of coin dispensing ports 2111 and the arrangement of the coin dispensing ports 2111 and the coin dispensing port can be designed according to actual needs.

[0091] For ease of understanding, Figure 5 As shown, the coin dispensing port 2111 corresponding to the coin dispensing device 400 is defined as the first coin dispensing port 2112, and the coin dispensing port 2111 directly connected to the change port 112 is defined as the second coin dispensing port 2113. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the clearing device 200 has eight first coin dispensing ports 2112.

[0092] It should be noted that the financial medium 900 includes but is not limited to circulating coins, commemorative coins or collectible coins.

[0093] It is understandable that when the financial medium 900 enters the containing chamber through the input port 111, the sorting device 200 receives the financial medium 900 through the first inlet and performs orderly processing, and outputs it to different first coin sorting ports 2112 to ensure that financial media 900 of different types (such as denominations or materials, etc.) can be accurately sorted. If change is not required, the corresponding coin dispensing device 400 receives the financial medium 900 and temporarily stores the financial medium 900 according to actual needs for subsequent change, or transfers the financial medium 900 to the storage box 300 for storage; if change is required, according to the financial medium 900 required for change, the corresponding coin dispensing device 400 transfers the temporarily stored financial medium 900 to the change port 112 in sequence to complete the automated change process. If an unexpected situation occurs during the sorting process of the sorting device 200 when sorting the financial medium 900 (for example, the financial medium 900 fails to be output to the corresponding first coin sorting port 2112 in a timely and accurate manner), the financial medium 900 can be directly returned to the change port 112 through the second coin sorting port 2113 for subsequent processing or recycling, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the processing of the financial medium 900.

[0094] The financial processing device provided in accordance with the embodiment of the present application can not only complete the inventory, classification and storage of financial media 900, but also directly perform change operations, meet various financial processing needs, and effectively improve the efficiency, accuracy and flexibility of financial media 900 processing.

[0095] In some embodiments, the financial processing equipment also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the sorting device 200 and the coin-dispensing device 400, respectively, and is used to control the start and stop of the sorting device 200 and the coin-dispensing device 400, so as to coordinate the operating sequence and logical relationship between the sorting device 200 and the coin-dispensing device 400, and ensure that the processing tasks of various financial media 900 can be completed efficiently and accurately to meet the different needs of users.

[0096] In some embodiments, Figures 2 to 7As shown, the sorting device 200 includes a housing 210, a coin sorting structure, a plurality of first switching members 230 and a transmission structure. The housing 210 forms a plurality of transfer channels 211, and the transfer channels 211 have an input port and a coin sorting port 2111; the coin sorting structure is arranged on the housing 210 and has a first inlet and a first outlet 22111, which is used to sequentially output a plurality of financial media 900 received from the first inlet through the first outlet 22111; the first switching member 230 is movably arranged on the housing 210 between a first position and a second position, the first switching member 230 and the transfer channel 211 correspond one-to-one and form a first transmission channel, the first switching member 230 is used to cover the input port and support the financial medium 900 when in the first position, and the first switching member 230 is used to open the input port when in the second position; the transmission structure is arranged on the housing 210, and is at least used to drive the financial medium 900 output from the first outlet 22111 to move in the first transmission channel along the transmission direction.

[0097] It should be noted that the controller is electrically connected to the coin sorting structure, the first switching member 230 and the transmission structure respectively to realize the start and stop of the sorting device 200.

[0098] It can be understood that, after passing through the input port 111 and the first inlet, the multiple financial media 900 are outputted from the first outlet 22111 in sequence, and the coin-dividing structure receives the financial media 900 entering from the input port 111 through the first inlet and processes them so that the first outlet 22111 can output a single financial medium 900 in sequence. Since the multiple first switching members 230 are distributed in sequence along the transmission direction, if it is necessary to temporarily store the financial medium 900 through the current transit channel 211 to the change port 112 or the corresponding coin output device 400, the target first switching member 230 is in the second position, and the first switching members 230 located upstream of the target first switching member 230 in the transmission direction are in the first position, so that the transmission structure drives the financial medium 900 to pass through the first transmission channel formed by the upstream first switching members 230 in sequence, and then enters the change port 112 or the corresponding coin output device 400 through the opened input port and the corresponding transit channel 211.

[0099] It should be noted that if Figure 5 As shown, one of the multiple transfer channels 211 has an input port and a second coin sorting port 2113 , and the remaining transfer channels 211 have an input port and a first coin sorting port 2112 .

[0100] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the coin-collecting structure includes a first hopper 221 and a coin-collecting member 222. The first hopper 221 is arranged on the shell 210 to form a storage chamber 2211 with a first inlet and a first outlet 22111; the coin-collecting member 222 has a positioning hole 2221, and the inner edge of the positioning hole 2221 is at least partially suitable for abutting against the outer side wall of the financial medium 900. The coin-collecting member 222 can be movably arranged in the storage chamber 2211 to selectively connect the positioning hole 2221 with the first outlet 22111.

[0101] It can be understood that after passing through the input port 111, multiple financial media 900 first enter the storage chamber 2211, and then the controller controls the coin sorting member 222 to move so as to selectively connect the positioning hole 2221 and the first outlet 22111, thereby realizing the output of individual financial media 900 from the first outlet 22111 in sequence, achieving preliminary orderly processing of the financial media 900, and improving the operating efficiency and accuracy of the coin sorting structure.

[0102] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the coin-collecting structure also includes a first driving member 223, a fixed end of which is disposed on the housing 210, and an output end of the first driving member 223 extends into the first hopper 221 and is connected to the coin-collecting member 222, for driving the coin-collecting member 222 to rotate, so as to achieve selective communication between the positioning hole 2221 and the first outlet 22111 of the coin-collecting member 222 during the rotation process. Exemplarily, the first driving member 223 includes but is not limited to a rotating motor. Of course, in other embodiments, the output end of the first driving member 223 can also drive the coin-collecting member 222 to move, so as to achieve selective communication between the positioning hole 2221 and the first outlet 22111 of the coin-collecting member 222 during the movement process, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0103] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple positioning holes 2221, which are spaced circumferentially, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the coin separation structure for separating financial media 900. It should be noted that the number and specific distribution of the positioning holes 2221 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0104] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the rotation axis of the coin sorting member 222 and the axis of the positioning hole 2221 are both parallel to the second horizontal direction, and the coin sorting member 222 is always tightly attached to the inner wall of the storage cavity 2211 to fully utilize the gravity of the financial medium 900 itself and improve the efficiency and reliability of coin sorting.

[0105] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the positioning hole 2221 includes a first hole segment and a second hole segment, the hole depth of the first hole segment is not greater than the thickness of the financial medium 900; the second hole segment is connected to the first hole segment and is located on the side of the first hole segment away from the first outlet 22111, and the aperture of the second hole segment gradually decreases in the direction approaching the first hole segment.

[0106] It is understandable that the financial medium 900 enters the first outlet 22111 after passing through the second hole section and the first hole section in sequence. On the one hand, the hole depth through the first hole section is not less than the thickness of the financial medium 900. If multiple financial media 900 overlap, the financial medium 900 closest to the first outlet 22111 can continue to move in the positioning hole 2221, while the remaining financial media 900 will slide back to the bottom of the storage cavity 2211 due to insufficient support on their outer edges, reducing the possibility of multiple financial media 900 entering the first outlet 22111 at the same time, reducing the risk of jamming and blocking. On the other hand, the aperture of the second hole section gradually decreases in the direction close to the first hole section, so that the second hole section is cone-shaped or trumpet-shaped, which helps to guide the financial medium 900 to enter the first hole section smoothly, and also facilitates the remaining financial media 900 to slide to the bottom of the storage cavity 2211, thereby improving the efficiency of coin sorting.

[0107] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the side of the receiving cavity 2211 away from the coin sorting member 222 has a guide surface 22110, and the guide surface 22110 is inclined from top to bottom toward the side close to the coin sorting member 222. The inclination angle and size of the guide surface 22110 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0108] It can be understood that the guide surface 22110 is inclined from top to bottom toward the side close to the coin sorting member 222, that is, the vertical distance between the guide surface 22110 and the coin sorting member 222 gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the gravity of the financial medium 900 itself can be used to help guide the financial medium 900 to enter the positioning hole 2221 more smoothly, thereby improving the coin sorting efficiency, reducing mechanical wear, and simplifying the overall structure.

[0109] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the upper end of the receiving chamber 2211 is open to form a first inlet, and the first outlet 22111 is opened on the side wall of the receiving chamber 2211 and close to the upper end of the receiving chamber 2211 .

[0110] It is understandable that the first inlet is located at the upper end of the storage chamber 2211, so that the financial medium 900 can be smoothly introduced into the storage chamber 2211, reducing the resistance during the introduction process. At the same time, the first outlet 22111 is opened on the side wall of the storage chamber 2211 away from the guide surface 22110 and close to the upper end of the storage chamber 2211, so as to reduce the risk of more than two financial media 900 entering the first outlet 22111 at the same time, and fully utilize the gravity of the financial medium 900, improve the efficiency of coin sorting, reduce the risk of jamming and blocking, simplify the coin sorting structure, and improve the reliability and service life of the coin sorting structure.

[0111] In some embodiments, the direction of the first outlet 22111 is parallel to the second horizontal direction, and the direction of the first inlet is set at an angle to the direction of the first outlet 22111, that is, the top edge of the guide surface 22110 is lower than the top edge of the side of the storage cavity 22111 away from the guide surface 22110, so as to increase the size of the first inlet and reduce the risk of jamming and blockage.

[0112] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the coin-dividing structure also includes a baffle 224, which is rotatably disposed on the first hopper 221 between a first state and a second state. The baffle 224 opens the first outlet 22111 and covers at least part of the first inlet in the first state, and opens the first inlet and covers the first outlet 22111 in the second state.

[0113] It is understandable that when the financial medium 900 is blocked in the storage chamber 2211, the baffle 224 can be placed in the second state so that the interior of the storage chamber 2211 can be observed through the first inlet and corresponding processing can be performed, while reducing interference with components outside the first hopper 221 and reducing the risk of foreign matter or financial medium 900 being output through the first outlet 22111 during the observation process. When the coin sorting member 222 rotates and sorts the financial medium 900, the baffle 224 is in the first state to limit the output path of the financial medium 900 in the storage chamber 2211 by covering the portion where the projection of the first inlet and the first outlet 22111 in the vertical direction overlap, ensuring that only one financial medium 900 can be output through the first outlet 22111 at a time, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of coin sorting.

[0114] In addition, when a plurality of financial media 900 are stuck together and cannot slide off, the baffle 224 can also block the financial media 900 outside the positioning hole 2221 in the second state, thereby separating the financial media 900 and improving the efficiency of coin separation.

[0115] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, a first elastic member is provided between the baffle 224 and the first hopper 221, and the first elastic member is used to realize the switching of the baffle 224 from the second state to the first state, so as to increase the flexibility and maintenance convenience of the coin-dividing structure. The first elastic member includes but is not limited to a torsion spring. Of course, in other embodiments, other structures can also be used to realize the switching of the baffle 224 between the first state and the second state, and this embodiment does not make specific restrictions on this.

[0116] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the first hopper 221 also forms an inspection channel 2212, a first opening of the inspection channel 2212 is connected to the change port 112, a second opening of the inspection channel 2212 is connected to the storage chamber 2211, and the size of the second opening of the inspection channel 2212 is adjustable, so that when there are too many financial media 900 in the storage chamber 2211, the second opening is enlarged to discharge the excess financial media 900 directly into the change port 112.

[0117] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the second opening of the inspection channel 2212 is located at the bottom of the storage chamber 2211, and the coin-collecting structure also includes a second driving member 225. The fixed end of the second driving member 225 is arranged on the housing 210. The driving end of the second driving member 225 is connected to the mounting plate of the first hopper 221, and is used to drive the mounting plate to approach or move away from the coin-collecting member 222. The side of the mounting plate away from the second driving member 225 forms a guide surface 22110, so as to achieve the adjustable size of the second opening of the inspection channel 2212. The second driving member 225 includes but is not limited to a servo motor. Of course, in other embodiments, other structures can also be used to achieve the adjustable size of the second opening of the inspection channel 2212, and this embodiment does not make specific restrictions on this.

[0118] In some embodiments, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first switching member 230 includes a main body 231 and an extension portion 232. The main body 231 is rotatably disposed on the housing 210 and forms a through slot 2311. The first transmission channel includes the through slot 2311. The extension portion 232 is connected to the downstream end of the main body 231 in the transmission direction and has an arc surface 2321. The center of curvature of the arc surface 2321 is close to the through slot 2311. In the first position, the inner wall of the through slot 2311 is suitable for at least partially matching with the outer wall of the financial medium 900. In the second position, the arc surface 2321 is suitable for abutting and matching with the outer side wall of the financial medium 900 to limit the movement of the financial medium 900 along the transmission direction.

[0119] For example, Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, a plurality of first switching members 230 are spaced apart and distributed along the first horizontal direction, the rotation axis of the main body 231 is parallel to the first horizontal direction, and the first horizontal direction intersects with the second horizontal direction.

[0120] It can be understood that the upper part of the main body 231 is provided with a through slot 2311, and when the first reversing member 230 is in the first position, the through slot 2311 penetrates the main body 231 along the transmission direction, which not only facilitates the financial medium 900 to directly fall into the through slot 2311 from the first outlet 22111, but also facilitates the financial medium 900 to move smoothly on the through slot 2311 driven by the transmission structure. When the financial medium 900 approaches the target first reversing member 230, the target first reversing member 230 switches to the second position, and the financial medium 900 continues to move under the drive of the transmission structure until the outer wall of the financial medium 900 and the arc surface 2321 abut and cooperate, thereby ensuring that the financial medium 900 can only enter the required input port.

[0121] In some embodiments, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the main body 231 is inclined from top to bottom toward the direction close to the housing 210, that is, when the outer wall of the financial medium 900 abuts against the arc surface 2321, one of the outer end surfaces of the financial medium 900 is in contact with a surface of the main body 231 close to the housing 210, thereby playing a guiding role so that the financial medium 900 can slide into the transfer channel 211.

[0122] Exemplarily, the controller can use electromagnetic on and off to achieve the switching of the first switching member 230 between the first position and the second position. Of course, in other embodiments, other methods can also be used to achieve the switching of the first switching member 230 between the first position and the second position. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0123] In some embodiments, Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the transmission structure includes a transmission member 241 and a plurality of spaced positioning members 242, the transmission member 241 can be movably arranged on the housing 210, and the transmission member 241 and the transfer channel 211 are located on both sides of the housing 210; one end of the positioning member 242 is arranged on the transmission member 241, and the other end extends in a direction close to the housing 210, and the positioning member 242 is suitable for abutting and matching with the financial medium 900. The transmission member 241 includes but is not limited to an annular conveyor belt or an annular conveyor chain. Exemplarily, the cross-sectional shape of the positioning member 242 is circular so as to roll with the financial medium 900 to reduce friction. It should be noted that the shape and number of the positioning member 242 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0124] It can be understood that the fixed end of the third driving member of the transmission structure is arranged on the housing 210, the transmission member 241 is arranged around a plurality of synchronous wheels 243 arranged around the housing 210, and the driving end of the third driving member is connected to at least one of the plurality of synchronous wheels 243, and is used to drive the synchronous wheel 243 to rotate around the rotation axis parallel to the second horizontal direction based on the working instruction of the controller, thereby driving the transmission member 241 to move. At the same time, since a plurality of positioning members 242 are arranged at intervals on the transmission member 241, and one end of the positioning member 242 extends outside the transmission member 241 to provide a contact point with the financial medium 900, it is ensured that the financial medium 900 can smoothly enter the designated coin slot 2111. The deviation and jamming of the financial medium 900 during the transmission process can be reduced.

[0125] In some embodiments, Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the transmission member 241 is annular to form an accommodating space, a portion of the multiple first transmission channels are arranged at intervals along the first horizontal direction at the upper part of the accommodating space, another portion of the multiple first switching members 230 are arranged at intervals along the first horizontal direction at the lower part of the accommodating space, and the first hopper 221 is located in the accommodating space, thereby making the structure of the entire sorting device 200 more compact.

[0126] In some embodiments, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the shell 210 also forms a retreat channel 212 having a second inlet and a second outlet, and the change port 112 is connected to the second outlet; the sorting device 200 also includes an identification module 250 and a second switching member 260, the identification module 250 is arranged on the shell 210 and forms a first transition channel, and the first transition channel is connected to the first outlet 22111; the second switching member 260 is movably arranged on the shell 210 between a third position and a fourth position, and the second switching member 260 forms a second transition channel connected to the first transition channel, wherein the second switching member 260 is used to cover the second inlet when in the third position, and the second switching member 260 is used to open the second inlet when in the fourth position.

[0127] It is understandable that when the financial medium 900 enters the first transition channel through the first exit 22111 and moves toward the second transition channel, the identification module 250 classifies the financial medium 900 (for example, identifies the denomination, material, or authenticity of the financial medium 900). When it is identified that the financial medium 900 does not need to be returned, the second switching element 260 is in the third position, so that the financial medium 900 located in the second transition channel can approach the first switching element 230 under the drive of the transmission element 241, and at the same time, the classification result of the financial medium 900 is sent to the controller, and the corresponding first switching element 230 is controlled to switch to the second position, so that the financial medium 900 is output from the corresponding coin outlet 2111; when it is identified that the financial medium 900 needs to be returned, the second switching element 260 is switched to the fourth position, so that the financial medium 900 located in the second transition channel can directly enter the return channel 212 through the second entrance, so that the financial medium can be directly returned to the change outlet 112.

[0128] Exemplarily, the controller can use electromagnetic on and off to achieve the switching of the second switching element 260 between the third position and the fourth position. Of course, in other embodiments, other methods can also be used to achieve the switching of the second switching element 260 between the third position and the fourth position. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0129] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the inspection channel 2212, the transfer channel 211 and the return channel 212 are all located on the side of the shell 210 away from the transmission member 241, so as to more effectively optimize the transmission path of the financial medium 900, reduce interference between components, ensure the compact structure of the sorting device 200, and improve the stability and reliability of the sorting device 200.

[0130] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the first transition channel is tilted downward in a direction away from the first outlet 22111, so that after the financial medium 900 is output from the first outlet 22111 and enters the first transition channel, it can slide naturally toward the second transition channel by its own gravity, and can ensure that the financial medium 900 can be closely attached to the side of the second transition channel close to the housing 210, so as to ensure the stability of the posture of the financial medium 900 and improve the recognition accuracy and reception rate. It should be noted that the tilt angle and size of the first transition channel can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0131] In some embodiments, Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the second transition channel is tilted downward in a direction away from the first outlet 22111, so as to make full use of the gravity of the financial medium 900 itself, so that the financial medium 900 can slide more smoothly during the transmission process, thereby improving the transmission efficiency. It should be noted that the tilt angle and size of the second transition channel can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0132] In some embodiments, Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the shell 210 also forms a second transmission channel 213, and the second transmission channel 213 is suitable for being connected to the first transmission channel; the sorting device 200 also includes a matching piece 270 and a pressing piece 280, the matching piece 270 is arranged on the shell 210 and close to the first outlet 22111, and at least one of the shell 210 and the matching piece 270 is suitable for contacting and matching with the financial medium 900; the pressing piece 280 is movably arranged on the matching piece 270 between the fifth position and the sixth position, and the pressing piece 280 is suitable for abutting and matching with the side wall of the financial medium 900 away from the second transmission channel 213 when in the fifth position, and the pressing piece 280 is disengaged from the financial medium 900 when in the sixth position.

[0133] It can be understood that the first transition channel, the second transition channel and the second transmission channel 213 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom, and the matching piece 270 is arranged in the second transmission channel 213 and is located between the second transition channel and the first reversing piece 230 which is the most downstream in the transmission direction among the plurality of first reversing pieces 230, so that before the financial medium 900 outputted from the second transition channel enters the second transmission channel 213, the end surface of the financial medium 900 will always be in contact with at least one of the matching piece 270 and the housing 210, so as to provide necessary support and guidance. In addition, when the financial medium 900 enters the second transmission channel 213 from the guide space formed between the matching piece 270 and the housing 210, combined with the upper end opening of the second transmission channel 213, the pressing piece 280 is in contact with the outer side wall of the financial medium 900 located outside the second transmission channel 213, so as to reduce the possibility of the financial medium 900 being ejected from the second transmission channel 213 due to the reaction force, so as to ensure that the financial medium 900 is close to the first reversing piece 230 under the driving of the positioning piece 242.

[0134] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, a second elastic member 290 is provided between the pressing member 280 and the matching member 270, and the second elastic member 290 is used to realize the switching of the pressing member 280 from the fifth position to the sixth position, so as to increase the flexibility and maintenance convenience of the sorting structure. The second elastic member 290 includes but is not limited to a torsion spring. Of course, in other embodiments, other structures can also be used to realize the switching of the pressing member 280 between the fifth position and the sixth position, and this embodiment does not make specific restrictions on this.

[0135] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the shell 210 is inclined from top to bottom toward the direction close to the transmission member 241 to increase the contact area between the financial medium 900 and the coin-sorting member 222, the first transition channel, the second transition channel, the first transmission channel and the second transmission channel 213 during the movement, thereby ensuring sorting efficiency and reliability.

[0136] In some embodiments, Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the coin dispensing device 400 includes a mounting seat 410, a connecting member 420, a coin shifting member 430 and a direction-changing member 440. The mounting seat 410 forms a first opening 411 and a second opening 412 which are respectively connected to the change port 112 and the storage box 300; the connecting member 420 is arranged on the mounting seat 410, and the connecting member 420 and the mounting seat 410 jointly form a placement cavity 401, and the placement cavity 401 has a discharge inlet 4011 and a discharge outlet, and the placement cavity 401 accommodates the financial medium 900 from the corresponding coin outlet 2111 through the discharge inlet 4011; the coin shifting member 430 is movably arranged in the placement cavity 401 to drive the financial medium 900 in the placement cavity 401 to be discharged from the discharge outlet; the direction-changing member 440 forms a direction-changing channel 441 which is connected to the discharge outlet, and the direction-changing member 440 is movably arranged on the mounting seat 410 to make the direction-changing channel 441 connected to one of the first opening 411 and the second opening 412.

[0137] It is understandable that the placement chamber 401 receives and temporarily stores the financial medium 900 through the discharge port 4011 for subsequent change operations. Based on the working signal sent by the controller, when change is required, the direction-changing channel 441 is connected to the first opening 411, and the financial medium 900 passes through the discharge port, the direction-changing channel 441, the first opening 411 and the change port 112 from the placement chamber 401 in sequence through the coin-shifting member 430; when the financial medium 900 needs to be stored, the direction-changing channel 441 is connected to the second opening 412, and the financial medium 900 passes through the discharge port, the direction-changing channel 441 and the second opening 412 from the placement chamber 401 in sequence through the coin-shifting member 430, and enters the storage box 300. Ensuring that the financial medium 900 can be accurately transmitted from the first coin-splitting port 2112 to the change port 112 or the storage box 300 not only improves the transmission efficiency and reliability of the coin-dispensing device 400, but also simplifies the structure of the coin-dispensing device 400, and reduces the manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0138] In some embodiments, Fig.12 As shown, the coin-selecting member 430 forms a through hole 431 , and the coin-selecting member 430 is rotatably disposed on the mounting seat 410 so that the through hole 431 is suitable for communicating with the discharge port, and the axis of the through hole 431 is parallel to the rotation axis of the coin-selecting member 430 .

[0139] It can be understood that the controller controls the movement of the coin selector 430 to selectively connect the through hole 431 and the first outlet 22111, thereby realizing the sequential output of individual financial media 900 from the outlet, achieving orderly processing of the coin output of the financial media 900, improving the operating efficiency and accuracy of the coin output device 400, and reducing the risk of jamming and blockage.

[0140] In some embodiments, Fig.10 As shown, the coin dispensing device 400 also includes a fourth driving member 450, a fixed end of the fourth driving member 450 is arranged on the mounting seat 410, and the output end of the fourth driving member 450 extends into the placement cavity 401 and is connected to the coin-selecting member 430, which is used to drive the coin-selecting member 430 to rotate, so as to achieve the selective connection between the through hole 431 and the discharge port of the coin-selecting member 430 during the rotation process. Exemplarily, the fourth driving member 450 includes but is not limited to a rotating motor. Of course, in other embodiments, the output end of the fourth driving member 450 can also drive the coin-selecting member 430 to move, so as to achieve the selective connection between the through hole 431 and the discharge port of the coin-selecting member 430 during the movement process, and this embodiment does not make specific restrictions on this.

[0141] In some embodiments, Fig.12 As shown, a plurality of through holes 431 are provided, and the plurality of through holes 431 are circumferentially spaced and distributed, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the coin dispensing device 400 in sequentially outputting the financial medium 900. It should be noted that the number and specific distribution of the through holes 431 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0142] In some embodiments, Fig.12 As shown, the discharge port is located at the bottom of the placement cavity 401 , and the coin-selecting member 430 further forms a notch 432 connected to the through hole 431 . The notch 432 is located at the bottom of the coin-selecting member 430 , and the direction of the discharge port intersects with the axis of the through hole 431 .

[0143] It is understandable that during the rotation of the coin-selecting member 430, the financial medium 900 passes through the through hole 431, the notch 432 and the discharge port in sequence, and the axis of the through hole 431 is parallel to the rotation axis of the coin-selecting member 430, so as to ensure that the financial medium 900 can smoothly pass through the coin-selecting member 430 disposed on the inner bottom surface of the placement cavity 401, and then enter the discharge port more smoothly through the notch 432 connected to the through hole 431. In addition, the direction of the discharge port intersects with the axis of the through hole 431, so as to make the entire coin-dispensing structure more compact while optimizing the discharge path of the financial medium 900.

[0144] Similarly, there are multiple gaps 432, which are spaced apart circumferentially, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the coin dispensing device 400 in sequentially dispensing financial media 900. It should be noted that the number and specific distribution of the gaps 432 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0145] In some embodiments, Fig.12 As shown, the direction of the discharge port is parallel to the second horizontal direction, and the rotation axis of the coin selecting member 430 and the axis of the through hole 431 are parallel to the up and down directions, so that the coin selecting member 430 is always tightly attached to the inner bottom wall of the placement cavity 401, so as to make full use of the gravity of the financial medium 900 itself and improve the efficiency and reliability of coin dispensing.

[0146] In some embodiments, Fig.12 As shown, the through hole 431 includes a first sub-segment and a second sub-segment, the inner edge of the first sub-segment cooperates with the outer side wall of the financial medium 900; the second sub-segment is connected to the first sub-segment and is located on the side of the first sub-segment away from the discharge port, and the aperture of the second sub-segment gradually decreases in the direction approaching the first sub-segment.

[0147] It can be understood that the financial medium 900 enters the gap 432 after passing through the second sub-segment and the first sub-segment in sequence. On the one hand, the inner edge of the first sub-segment cooperates with the outer side wall of the financial medium 900, thereby ensuring that only the financial medium 900 that meets the classification rules can be discharged from the discharge port through the through hole 431, ensuring the accuracy of change and storage. On the other hand, the aperture of the second sub-segment gradually decreases in the direction close to the first sub-segment, making the second sub-segment quasi-conical or quasi-flare, which helps to guide the financial medium 900 to enter the first sub-segment smoothly, and also facilitates the remaining financial media 900 to slide into the first sub-segment, thereby improving the efficiency of coin dispensing.

[0148] In some embodiments, Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the placement cavity 401 close to the coin-picking member 430 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the placement cavity 401 away from the coin-picking member 430 .

[0149] It can be understood that the discharge port and the coin selector 430 are both located at the bottom of the placement cavity 401, that is, at least part of the cross-sectional area of ​​the placement cavity 401 gradually decreases from top to bottom, which helps to guide the financial medium 900 to slide smoothly to the passage and reduce the resistance and jamming risk of the financial medium 900 during the transmission process.

[0150] In some embodiments, Figures 9 to 11 As shown, along the direction approaching the coin-selecting member 430, the distance between the two oppositely disposed side surfaces of the placement cavity 401 does not increase monotonically.

[0151] It is understandable that the cross-sectional area of ​​the placement cavity 401 can be changed by changing the distance between the two oppositely disposed side surfaces of the placement cavity 401. Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the distance between two side surfaces of the placement cavity 401 disposed oppositely along the first horizontal direction remains constant from top to bottom, and the distance between two side surfaces of the placement cavity 401 disposed oppositely along the second horizontal direction at least partially decreases from top to bottom.

[0152] In this embodiment, Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the direction of the dispensing port is parallel to the second horizontal direction, and the distance between the two side surfaces of the placement cavity 401 that are arranged opposite to each other along the second horizontal direction at least partially gradually decreases to further improve the coin dispensing efficiency.

[0153] In some embodiments, Fig.10 As shown, the connector 420 forms a check channel 4211 communicating with the discharge port 4011, and the check channel 4211 is located in the placement cavity 401; wherein,

[0154] The cross-sectional area of ​​the check channel 4211 away from the discharge port 4011 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the check channel 4211 close to the discharge port 4011; and / or

[0155] The check passage 4211 is inclined from a direction away from the discharge port 4011 to a direction close to the discharge port.

[0156] It can be understood that the discharge port 4011 faces upward, and the financial medium 900 first passes through the non-return channel 4211 from the discharge port 4011 and then enters the through hole 431 under the action of its gravity. On the one hand, the cross-sectional area of ​​the non-return channel 4211 away from the discharge port 4011 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the non-return channel 4211 close to the discharge port 4011, that is, the cross-sectional area of ​​at least part of the non-return channel 4211 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The tapered non-return channel 4211 structure not only helps to guide the financial medium 900 to slide smoothly toward the discharge port, but also reduces the resistance and jamming of the financial medium 900 during the transmission process. The risk of the financial medium 900 falling on different positions of the coin selecting member 430 can be dispersed, and the financial medium 900 in the placement cavity 401 can be reduced by pouring out through the non-return channel 4211 when the coin dispensing device 400 is taken out from the shell 210; on the other hand, the non-return channel 4211 is inclined from the direction away from the dispensing port 4011 to the direction close to the dispensing port, which not only helps to narrow the dispensing path of the financial medium 900 and reduce the resistance and jamming risk of the financial medium 900 during the transmission process, but also increases the possibility of unidirectional flow of the financial medium 900, thereby improving the transmission efficiency and reliability of the coin dispensing device 400.

[0157] In some embodiments, Fig.10 and Fig.11As shown, the connector 420 includes a cover plate 421 and a frame 422 . The frame 422 is a hollow structure with open ends. The frame 422 is located between the cover plate 421 and the mounting seat 410 . The cover plate 421 , the frame 422 and the mounting seat 410 together form a placement cavity 401 .

[0158] It should be noted that the discharge port 4011 is opened on the cover plate 421 , and the cover plate 421 forms a non-return channel 4211 .

[0159] It can be understood that the cover plate 421, the frame body 422 and the mounting base 410 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom, the cover plate 421 is arranged at the opening of the frame body 422 at the upper end, and the frame body 422 is arranged at the opening of the frame body 422 at the lower end. This not only improves the transmission efficiency and reliability of the coin dispensing device 400, but also simplifies the overall structure of the coin dispensing device 400 and reduces the manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0160] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the direction-changing channel 441 is an arc surface, and the arc surface bulges in a direction away from the housing 210. It should be noted that the size and curvature radius of the arc surface can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0161] It can be understood that the bottom surface of the redirecting channel 441 is an arc surface, which helps to guide the financial medium 900 output from the discharge port to slide more smoothly in the redirecting channel 441, so that the financial medium 900 can change direction more smoothly to enter the first opening 411 or the second opening 412, reducing the resistance and jamming risk of the financial medium 900 during the transmission process, thereby improving the transmission efficiency.

[0162] In some embodiments, Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the direction-changing member 440 , the discharge port, the first opening 411 , and the second opening 412 are located on the same side of the connecting member 420 .

[0163] It can be understood that the direction of the discharge port is parallel to the second horizontal direction, that is, the direction-changing member 440, the first opening 411 and the second opening 412 are all located outside the side of the connecting member 420 arranged along the second horizontal direction, thereby shortening the output path of the financial medium 900 as much as possible, and facilitating the maintenance of the coin dispensing device 400 and the internal layout of the entire financial processing equipment.

[0164] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Fig.10As shown, the financial processing device further includes a plurality of first coin dropping members 510, which are arranged in the receiving chamber and correspond to the transfer channel 211 one by one. The first coin dropping members 510 form a first coin dropping channel, wherein two ports of one first coin dropping channel are respectively connected to the second coin sorting port 2113 and the change port 112, and two ports of the remaining first coin dropping channels are respectively connected to the first distribution port and the discharge port 4011. This guides the output path of the financial medium 900, improves the reliability and accuracy of the financial processing device, and facilitates the layout in the receiving chamber.

[0165] In some embodiments, a cross-sectional area of ​​the first coin dropping channel away from the coin sorting port 2111 is smaller than a cross-sectional area of ​​the first coin dropping channel close to the coin sorting port 2111 .

[0166] It is understandable that the cross-sectional area of ​​at least part of the first coin drop channel gradually decreases in the direction away from the coin outlet, which helps to guide the financial medium 900 to slide smoothly toward the outlet 4011 or the change outlet 112, reducing the risk of resistance, jamming and accumulation during transmission.

[0167] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 As shown, the financial processing device further includes an assembly part 610 , on which at least a portion of the plurality of coin dispensing devices 400 are sequentially arranged, and the assembly part 610 is movably arranged on the housing 210 along the arrangement direction of the plurality of coin dispensing devices 400 .

[0168] It can be understood that the assembly part 610 is used to fix and arrange multiple coin-dispensing devices 400, ensuring the stability and orderliness of the placement of multiple coin-dispensing devices 400 in the accommodating cavity, and also facilitates the use of the assembly part 610 to directly pull the coin-dispensing device 400 out of the accommodating cavity, thereby improving the convenience of maintenance and inspection.

[0169] Exemplarily, one of the assembly part 610 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity is provided with a slide rail 620, which extends along the first horizontal direction, and the other of the assembly part 610 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity is provided with a slider that slidably cooperates with the slide rail 620. Of course, in other embodiments, other structures may also be used to achieve relative movement between the assembly part 610 and the housing 210, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0170] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 As shown, there are two assembly parts 610, which are spaced apart in the vertical direction, and each assembly part 610 is provided with a plurality of coin dispensing devices 400 arranged in sequence along the first horizontal direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the number and specific distribution of the assembly parts 610 can also be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not make specific restrictions on this.

[0171] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the financial processing device further includes a second coin dropper 520, which is disposed in the receiving chamber and forms a second coin drop channel, and the second coin drop channel is connected to the first opening 411 of at least one coin output device 400. This guides the path of the financial medium 900 output to the change port 112, improves the reliability and accuracy of the financial processing device, and facilitates the layout in the receiving chamber.

[0172] Exemplarily, two second coin dropping members 520 are arranged at intervals along the first horizontal direction, that is, one second coin dropping channel is connected to the first openings 411 of the two coin output devices 400 of the assembly member 610 arranged above.

[0173] In some embodiments, a cross-sectional area of ​​the second coin dropping channel close to the first opening 411 is larger than a cross-sectional area of ​​the second coin dropping channel away from the first opening 411 .

[0174] It is understandable that the cross-sectional area of ​​at least part of the second coin drop channel gradually decreases in the direction away from the first opening 411, which helps to guide the financial medium 900 to slide smoothly toward the change port 112, reducing the risk of resistance, jamming and accumulation during the transmission process.

[0175] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Fig.10 As shown, the financial processing device further includes a third coin dropper 530, which is disposed in the receiving chamber and forms a third coin dropper channel, and the third coin dropper channel is connected to the storage box 300 and the second opening 412 of at least one coin output device 400. This guides the path of the financial medium 900 output to the storage box 300, improves the reliability and accuracy of the financial processing device, and facilitates the layout in the receiving chamber.

[0176] Exemplarily, two third coin dropping members 530 are arranged at intervals along the first horizontal direction, that is, one third coin dropping channel is connected to the second openings 412 of the two coin output devices 400 of the assembly member 610 arranged above.

[0177] In some embodiments, a cross-sectional area of ​​the third coin dropping channel close to the second opening 412 is larger than a cross-sectional area of ​​the third coin dropping channel away from the second opening 412 .

[0178] It is understandable that the cross-sectional area of ​​at least part of the third coin dropping channel gradually decreases in the direction away from the second opening 412, which helps to guide the financial medium 900 to slide smoothly toward the storage box 300, reducing the risk of resistance, jamming and accumulation during the transmission process.

[0179] In some embodiments, at least one of the first coin dropper 510 , the second coin dropper 520 , and the third coin dropper 530 is provided with an observation hole, so that when a blockage of the financial medium 900 occurs, it can be handled in time, which is convenient for maintenance.

[0180] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the financial processing device further includes an output device 700, which is disposed in the accommodating cavity and forms an output channel, and the output channel is respectively connected to the first opening 411 and the change port 112 of the coin output device 400. That is, the output channel receives the financial medium 900 output from the first opening 411 and transfers it to the change port 112, thereby further optimizing the output path of the financial medium 900 and improving the transmission efficiency and reliability of the financial processing device.

[0181] It should be noted that, based on the layout in the accommodating cavity, the first opening 411 of the coin dispensing device 400 located at the top is connected to the output channel through the second coin dropping channel, and the first opening 411 of the coin dispensing device 400 located at the bottom is directly connected to the output channel.

[0182] In some embodiments, Fig.14 As shown, the output channel includes a first sub-channel 7011 and a second sub-channel 7012, the first sub-channel 7011 extends along a first horizontal direction, and the upper end of the first sub-channel 7011 is open, for receiving the financial medium 900 output from the first opening 411; the lower end of the second sub-channel 7012 is connected to one end of the first sub-channel 7011, the upper end of the second sub-channel 7012 is connected to the change port 112, and the length of the second sub-channel 7012 along the first horizontal direction is D, satisfying the following condition, d≤D≤2d, d is the thickness of the financial medium 900.

[0183] It can be understood that the upper end of the first sub-channel 7011 is open and extends along the first horizontal direction, so as to receive the financial medium 900 outputted from the first opening 411 located above, and then the financial medium 900 enters the second sub-channel 7012 extending in the up-down direction to approach the change port 112, that is, the output channel is L-shaped, that is, the financial medium 900 is converted from a flat posture to an upright or inclined posture. At the same time, by making the length of the second sub-channel 7012 along the first horizontal direction satisfy d≤D≤2d, it is ensured that multiple financial media 900 can be outputted to the change port 112 in sequence through the second sub-channel 7012, thereby improving the orderliness of the output of the financial medium 900 at the change port 112.

[0184] In some embodiments, Fig.13 and Fig.14As shown, the output device 700 includes a mounting frame 710, a cover body 720 and a conveyor belt 730. The mounting frame 710 is arranged in the first accommodating cavity to form a mounting groove. The cover body 720 is at least partially arranged on the portion of the mounting frame 710 extending in the up-down direction. The conveyor belt 730 is movably arranged on the mounting frame 710, and a portion of the conveyor belt 730 and a portion of the inner wall of the mounting groove form a first sub-channel 7011, and a portion of the conveyor belt 730, the cover body 720 and a portion of the inner wall of the mounting groove form a second sub-channel 7012.

[0185] It can be understood that the fixed end of the fifth driving member of the output device 700 is arranged on the mounting frame 710, the conveyor belt 730 is wound around a plurality of transmission wheels arranged on the mounting frame 710, and the driving end of the fifth driving member is connected to at least one of the plurality of transmission wheels, and is used to drive the transmission wheel to rotate around a rotation axis parallel to the second horizontal direction based on the working instruction of the controller, thereby driving the conveyor belt 730 to move, thereby realizing the transfer of the financial medium 900 from the first opening 411 to the change port 112.

[0186] In some embodiments, Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the inner wall of the output channel includes a contact surface, a part of which forms the bottom wall of the first sub-channel 7011, and another part of which forms the inner side wall of the second sub-channel 7012 away from the first sub-channel 7011, and a plurality of stoppers 740 are convexly provided at intervals on the contact surface; wherein,

[0187] The vertical distance between the contact surface and a side of the limiting member 740 away from the contact surface is L, d≤L<D.

[0188] It can be understood that the conveyor belt 730 partially forms a contact surface, and a plurality of limit members 740 are spaced apart on the conveyor belt 730. When the financial medium 900 moves to the second sub-channel 7012, the lower end of the financial medium 900 can abut against the limit members 740 under the action of gravity, thereby smoothly driving the financial medium 900 to move upward until it enters the change port 112, thereby reducing the deviation and jamming of the financial medium 900 during the transmission process.

[0189] In some embodiments, Fig.14 As shown, the output channel also includes a third sub-channel 7013, which is smoothly connected to the first sub-channel 7011 and the second sub-channel 7012 respectively. The cross-sectional area of ​​the third sub-channel 7013 close to the second sub-channel 7012 is smaller than the cross-sectional area away from the first sub-channel 7011, so that the stacked financial media 900 can fall from the connection between the second sub-channel 7012 and the third sub-channel 7013, and reduce the risk of accumulation of the financial media 900, and re-transport them to the second sub-channel 7012, so as to ensure that the financial media 900 can be output to the change port 112 in an orderly manner.

[0190] It should be noted that the inner wall of the third sub-channel 7013 is partially formed by the cover 720 to reduce the possibility of the financial medium 900 falling out of the output channel when it falls down from the connection between the second sub-channel 7012 and the third sub-channel 7013. It should be noted that the shape and size of the cover 720 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0191] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the financial processing device further includes a recycling box 810 and a support plate 820. The recycling box 810 is disposed in the accommodating cavity to form a recycling cavity; the support plate 820 is movably disposed on the housing 100 so that the recycling cavity and the change port 112 can be selectively connected. It should be noted that the size and shape of the recycling cavity can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0192] It is understandable that when the financial medium 900 at the change port 112 has not been taken away for a certain period of time, the support plate 820 is moved relative to the housing 210 to connect the change port 112 and the recovery chamber, so as to recover the financial medium 900 retained at the change port 112 for subsequent counting and processing.

[0193] In some embodiments, the financial processing device also includes a sixth driving member, the fixed end of which is disposed on the housing 100, and the driving end of the sixth driving member is connected to one end of the support plate 820, for driving the support plate 820 to rotate so as to selectively connect the recovery chamber and the change port 112.

[0194] Exemplarily, when the support plate 820 is laid flat, it covers the opening of the recovery chamber and is used to carry the financial medium 900 at the change port 112; when the end of the support plate 820 away from the sixth driving member is tilted toward the recovery chamber, the opening of the recovery chamber is at least partially opened, and the financial medium 900 on the support plate 820 slides into the recovery chamber based on the guiding effect brought by the tilt of the support plate 820. Exemplarily, the sixth driving member includes but is not limited to a self-locking screw drive to increase the supporting force of the support plate 820 to carry the financial medium 900.

[0195] In some embodiments, the self-locking screw is also provided with a hand wheel so that the rotation angle of the support plate 820 can be manually adjusted in case of abnormal situations, which is convenient for daily maintenance.

[0196] In some embodiments, the self-locking screw is also provided with a torque limiter to limit the rotation force of the support plate 820, reduce the possibility of pinching fingers, and improve the safety and reliability of the use of financial processing equipment.

[0197] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, the input port 111, the sorting device 200, the coin dispensing device 400 and the storage box 300 are sequentially distributed from top to bottom to fully utilize the internal space of the accommodating cavity and reduce the floor space of the financial processing equipment.

[0198] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the output device 700 and the coin output device 400 are arranged sequentially along the second horizontal direction to fully utilize the internal space of the accommodating cavity and reduce the floor space of the financial processing equipment.

[0199] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the direction of the input port 111 intersects with the direction of the change port 112. That is, the input port 111 and the change port 112 are opened on different surfaces of the housing 210, which helps to optimize the overall layout of the financial processing device, conform to the user's usage habits, and improve the convenience of operation and the operating efficiency of the financial processing device.

[0200] In some embodiments, the financial processing device also includes a position sensor, which is at least arranged in a channel (including but not limited to a transit channel 211, a first transmission channel, an inspection channel 2212, a first transition channel, a second transition channel, a retracting channel 212, a second transmission channel 213, a turning channel 441, a first coin falling channel, a second coin falling channel and a third coin falling channel) for real-time detection of the quantity and position of the financial medium 900 to improve the reliability of the financial processing device.
