Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of banknote printing equipment, and in particular to an automatic numbering machine and a supplementary code printing system. Background Art

[0002] Since the task of printing supplementary codes on banknotes is generally not large, it is currently only used for commemorative banknotes and other products (products require continuous numbers when leaving the factory, so non-continuous number supplementary code printing is required). Therefore, the production capacity of large-sheet code supplementary machines is obviously underutilized, and the post-printing process of banknotes is complicated (cutting, serial numbering, etc.), which poses certain security risks.

[0003] In the prior art, the system for printing supplementary codes on banknotes is usually provided with an automatic numbering machine at the printing part, and the automatic numbering machine is locked by an axial positioning lock during printing. The axial positioning lock has an axially movable top lock wedge and a radially movable top pin; on the one hand, the driving device for driving the axial movement of the top lock wedge is located at one end of the automatic numbering machine, which increases the axial size of the entire automatic numbering machine; on the other hand, the driving force on the top lock wedge needs to produce a 90-degree turn through the friction between the top lock cylindrical shaft and the top lock wedge, which requires a large driving force, and therefore also requires a driving device that can provide a large driving force, which also leads to a large overall size of the driving device.

[0004] When the code complementing machine prints double-row numbers horizontally and vertically, the printing section of the code complementing machine needs to be equipped with two mutually perpendicular automatic numbering machines. However, the automatic numbering machine with an axial positioning lock has a large axial dimension and a large size of a driving device, making it difficult to set two automatic numbering machines in the printing section of the code complementing machine. Therefore, in order to achieve simultaneous printing of double-row numbers horizontally and vertically, it is necessary to further optimize the structure of the positioning lock so that its volume can be more compact, thereby reducing the size of the entire automatic numbering machine. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic numbering machine and a complementary code printing system, which can achieve locking of the character wheel through a radial positioning lock to reduce the size of the automatic numbering machine, thereby arranging two mutually perpendicular automatic numbering machines in the printing part of the complementary code printing system, and solving the problem of uneven printed numbers when printing the complementary codes of the double rows of numbers on banknotes.

[0006] The above-mentioned implementation objectives of the present invention are mainly achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0007] In one aspect, the present invention provides an automatic numbering machine, comprising:

[0008] A mandrel connected to the base;

[0009] At least one character wheel, rotatably connected to the outside of the core shaft, the outer side of the character wheel has a plurality of printed numbers, and the inner side of the character wheel is provided with a plurality of locking grooves radially opposite to the plurality of printed numbers;

[0010] A radial positioning lock is located in the core shaft, and the radial positioning lock has a pin that can move along the radial direction of the core shaft. Both ends of the pin are connected to a driving device. The driving device is located in the base. The driving device has an output shaft that can drive the pin to radially extend out of the core shaft and be engaged in the lock groove or radially retract and withdraw from the lock groove. The output shaft is connected to the pin.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the driving device includes two cylinders, which are respectively located in bases at the lower parts of the two ends of the core shaft, and the two cylinders are connected to the two ends of the ejector through the two output shafts.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the character wheel has a driven gear, and a driving shaft driven by a motor is connected to the base, and the driving gear on the driving shaft meshes with the driven gear to drive the character wheel to rotate.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of the character wheels are spaced apart on the core shaft along the axial direction of the core shaft, and some of the character wheels are connected to the motor drive through a gear mechanism.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a positioning hole extending in a radial direction is provided on the outer side wall of the core shaft, and a spring and a top ball are located in the positioning hole. Under the elastic force of the spring, the top ball can extend out of the core shaft and be clamped in the locking groove of the remaining character wheels.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the locking groove is a V-shaped groove, and the locking groove includes two side surfaces and an arc bottom surface connected between the two side surfaces.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the angle between the two side surfaces is not less than 71°.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the automatic numbering machine further comprises an external positioning lock, which is connected to the base and arranged adjacent to the character wheel, and the positioning lock has a positioning plate that can be moved toward the direction close to the character wheel to abut against the character wheel.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the automatic numbering machine also includes an external positioning lock, which is connected to the base and arranged adjacent to the character wheel, and a positioning groove is provided between adjacent printed numbers on the character wheel, and the positioning lock has a positioning column that can move toward the direction close to the character wheel to be embedded in the positioning groove.

[0019] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a complementary code printing system, which includes a paper feeding section, a printing section, a drying section and a paper receiving section connected in sequence along the conveying direction of the paper, wherein the printing section is provided with two automatic numbering machines as described above, and the setting directions of the two numbering machines are perpendicular to each other.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following characteristics and advantages:

[0021] 1. The automatic numbering machine of the present invention can realize the supplementary code printing of small banknotes and notes, realize the automatic alignment of the character wheels through the radial positioning lock, and ensure the neatness of the printing of banknote numbers.

[0022] 2. The automatic numbering machine described in the present invention aligns the character wheel on the outside of the character wheel through an external positioning lock, thereby further ensuring the uniformity of printing of banknote numbers.

[0023] 3. The automatic numbering machine of the present invention adopts a radial positioning lock directly driven by a cylinder. Compared with the traditional axial positioning method through the friction between the top lock wedge and the top lock cylindrical shaft, the driving force required for positioning and locking is smaller. Therefore, a small cylinder can be selected to make its volume more compact. The entire driving device is located in the base, and the overall numbering machine is also smaller, which can meet the needs of setting two horizontal and vertical numbering machines on the code complementing machine at the same time, thereby realizing the simultaneous printing of two rows of numbers in horizontal and vertical directions.

[0024] 4. The complementary code printing system of the present invention receives a list of numbers to be printed from an upper-level sorting machine, and a motor drives the character wheel to automatically dial to the correct position. A flat-press printing process prints the number of a banknote. After printing is completed, the system is triggered to automatically dial the next number, and this cycle is repeated to achieve continuous complementary code printing of non-continuous numbers.

The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0049] Implementation Method 1

[0050] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic numbering machine, which includes: a spindle 20 connected to a base 10; at least one character wheel 40, rotatably connected to the outside of the spindle 20, the outer side of the character wheel 40 has a plurality of printed numbers 41, and the inner side of the character wheel 40 is provided with a plurality of lock grooves 42 radially opposite to the plurality of printed numbers 41; a radial positioning lock, located in the spindle 20, the radial positioning lock has an ejector pin 30 that can move along the radial direction of the spindle 20, both ends of the ejector pin 30 are connected to a driving device, the driving device is located in the base 10, the driving device has an output shaft 51 that can drive the ejector pin 30 to radially extend out of the spindle 20 and be clamped in the lock groove 42 or radially retract and withdraw from the lock groove 42, and the output shaft 51 is connected to the ejector pin 30.

[0051] The automatic numbering machine of the present invention realizes the supplementary code printing of small banknotes by means of the character wheel 40 arranged on the core shaft 20. Meanwhile, a radial positioning lock is arranged inside the core shaft 20 for positioning and locking the character wheel 40 before printing to ensure the uniformity of the numbers printed on the banknotes.

[0052] The ejector pin 30 of the radial positioning lock in the present invention is directly driven by the cylinder 50. Compared with the traditional axial positioning method through the friction between the ejector wedge and the ejector cylindrical shaft, the driving force required for positioning and locking in the present invention is smaller. Therefore, a small cylinder 50 can be selected to make the volume of the automatic numbering machine more compact. The entire driving device is located in the base 10, and the overall numbering machine is also smaller, which can meet the needs of setting two horizontal and vertical numbering machines on the code complementing machine at the same time, thereby realizing the simultaneous printing of two rows of numbers in horizontal and vertical directions.

[0053] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the base 10 has a bottom plate and two side plates, the two side plates are arranged perpendicular to the bottom plate, the bottom plate is used to connect other control components or to fix the entire automatic numbering machine, and the two side plates are used to connect the core shaft 20.

[0054] The two ends of the mandrel 20 are respectively mounted on the two side plates of the base 10 and fixed by bolts. At least one character wheel 40 is sleeved on the outer side of the mandrel 20, and the character wheel 40 is coaxially arranged with the mandrel 20. The character wheel 40 on the mandrel 20 is axially fixed and can rotate circumferentially on the mandrel 20.

[0055] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, printed numbers 41 are arranged at intervals on the circumferential outer side of the character wheel 40. The printed numbers 41 are digital molds or letter molds processed and formed on the outer surface of the character wheel 40. Alternatively, separately processed digital molds or letter molds can be installed on the outer circumferential side of the character wheel 40.

[0056] For example, in one embodiment, a total of 10 digital molds 0-9 are respectively provided on the outer circumference of a character wheel 40 for printing numbers. The number of character wheels 40 provided on the mandrel 20 and the type of printed number 41 provided on each character wheel 40 can be determined according to actual printing requirements and are not specifically limited here.

[0057] When the character wheel 40 on the core shaft 20 rotates to the designated printing position, due to factors such as driving error and manufacturing error, the printed numbers 41 on multiple character wheels 40 used to print the same row of numbers cannot be completely aligned. Therefore, a radial positioning lock is provided in the core shaft 20 of the automatic numbering machine described in the present invention, and the locking and alignment of multiple character wheels 40 are achieved through the cooperation of the radial positioning lock and the locking groove 42 on the character wheel 40.

[0058] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a plurality of locking grooves 42 are provided on the inner circumferential side of each character wheel 40, and a corresponding locking groove 42 is provided for each printed number 41, and the two are arranged radially opposite to each other. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an installation space for a radial positioning lock is opened in the core shaft 20, and the radial positioning lock is installed in the installation space; the radial positioning lock has a pin 30 that can move along the radial direction of the core shaft 20, and the pin 30 is connected to a driving device fixed in the base 10. The pin 30 can move radially in the core shaft 20 under the drive of the driving device to extend or retract the core shaft 20.

[0059] In this embodiment, the ejector pin 30 is a strip-shaped member that can move radially in the spindle 20. The ejector pin 30 is arranged at the bottom of the spindle 20. The installation space on the spindle 20 is a strip-shaped groove that is opened at the bottom of the spindle 20 and opens toward the bottom. The ejector pin 30 can be radially extended from the spindle 20 or radially retracted into the spindle 20 under the drive of the driving device. The ejector pin 30 is provided with a clamping strip that can cooperate with the locking groove 42 on the character wheel 40. When the ejector pin 30 is radially extended from the spindle 20, the clamping strip on the ejector pin 30 can be clamped and embedded in the locking groove 42 on the character wheel 40, thereby fine-tuning and fixing the circumferential position of the character wheel 40, thereby ensuring the neatness of the printed number 41.

[0060] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the driving device includes two cylinders 50 , which are respectively located in the base 10 at the lower parts of the two ends of the core shaft 20 , and the two cylinders 50 are connected to the two ends of the ejector 30 through two output shafts 51 .

[0061] In order to ensure that the ejector pin 30 is subjected to balanced force, two cylinders 50 are installed at the left and right ends of the ejector pin 30 and are respectively connected to the two ends of the ejector pin 30. The two cylinders 50 are arranged inside the base 10. The output shaft 51 of the cylinder 50 in this embodiment is parallel to the radial direction of the core shaft 20, and the cylinder 50 is a bidirectional cylinder 50, which can not only push the ejector pin 30 to extend radially and insert into the lock groove 42 to achieve locking and positioning, but also push the ejector pin 30 to retract radially and withdraw from the lock groove 42 to release the lock.

[0062] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the character wheel 40 has a driven gear 43 , and a driving shaft 61 driven by a motor 60 is connected to the base 10 , and a driving gear 62 on the driving shaft 61 meshes with the driven gear 43 to drive the character wheel 40 to rotate.

[0063] In the process of complementary code printing, in order to realize automatic dialing of the character wheel 40, the information received by the control system is used to control the rotation of the motor 60 to realize automatic dialing of the character wheel 40. Compared with manual dialing, it can greatly improve the efficiency of complementary code printing.

[0064] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, a driven gear 43 is connected to one end face of the character wheel 40, and the driven gear 43 can rotate around the core shaft 20 together with the character wheel 40; a driving shaft 61 is provided between the two side plates of the base 10, and a motor 60 is connected to one side of the driving shaft 61. The motor 60 is fixed on one of the side plates and is drivingly connected to the driving shaft 61. A driving gear 62 is provided on the driving shaft 61 and is meshed with the driven gear 43. Therefore, automatic dialing of the character wheel 40 is realized by the rotation of the motor 60.

[0065] Preferably, the motor 60 in the present invention is a stepping motor 60 to ensure the rotation control accuracy of the character wheel 40 .

[0066] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of character wheels 40 are spaced apart on the core shaft 20 along the axial direction of the core shaft 20 , and some of the character wheels 40 are drivingly connected to the motor 60 via a gear mechanism.

[0067] In the actual process of supplementary code printing, especially when supplementary code printing is performed on the same batch of banknotes, some numbers or letters will basically not change or will change very little. Therefore, if all the character wheels 40 on the core shaft 20 are designed to be driven by a motor 60, the size of the automatic numbering machine will be greatly increased. Especially when there are many character wheels 40 arranged on the core shaft 20, there is also the problem of how to reasonably arrange a large number of motors 60 and driving shafts 61.

[0068] Therefore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a motor 60 is provided to drive the automatic rotation of the character wheel 40 that needs to be rotated frequently; while for the character wheel 40 that rotates less frequently, there is no need to provide a motor 60 to drive it, and dialing can be done manually or in other simpler ways.

[0069] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a positioning hole 21 extending in the radial direction is provided on the outer side wall of the core shaft 20, and a spring 22 and a top ball 23 are provided in the positioning hole 21. Under the elastic force of the spring 22, the top ball 23 can extend out of the core shaft 20 and be clamped in the locking groove 42 of the remaining character wheel 40.

[0070] For some character wheels 40 that are not driven by the motor 60 (i.e., character wheels 40 that do not need to be rotated frequently), when the motor 60 drives the character wheels 40 to rotate and dial, the cylinder 50 drives the ejector pin 30 to retract radially to release the lock on all character wheels 40. At this time, the character wheels 40 that are not driven by the motor 60 are also in an unlocked state. Therefore, a positioning structure is required to prevent them from rotating when the radial positioning lock releases the lock on the character wheels 40.

[0071] Specifically, Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, a positioning hole 21 extending in the radial direction is provided at the top of the spindle 20, and the positioning hole 21 corresponds to the locking groove 42 on the character wheel 40. A spring 22 and a top ball 23 are provided in the positioning hole 21, and the top ball 23 is located at the radial outer side of the positioning hole 21. Under the action of the elastic force of the spring 22, the top ball 23 can extend from the positioning hole 21 and be clamped in the locking groove 42 of the character wheel 40. When it is necessary to dial the character wheel 40 without the motor 60, the character wheel 40 is manually rotated, and the locking groove 42 supported by the top ball 23 squeezes the top ball 23 and the spring 22, so that the top ball 23 retracts into the positioning hole 21. At this time, the top ball 23 is pressed against the arc surface between the locking grooves 42, and it is easy to manually dial the character wheel 40 until the character wheel 40 turns to the next locking groove 42, and the top ball 23 pops out under the action of the spring 22 and pushes into the locking groove 42, thereby playing a role of positioning and locking.

[0072] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the locking groove 42 is a V-shaped groove, and the locking groove 42 includes two side surfaces 421 and an arc bottom surface 422 connected between the two side surfaces 421 .

[0073] An arc bottom surface 422 is designed between the two side surfaces 421 to replace the common V-shaped groove structure with only two side surfaces 421. The tip of the clamping strip on the ejector pin 30 does not contact the arc bottom surface 422, so that the ejector pin 30 and the locking groove 42 can be better matched to avoid large positioning errors.

[0074] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the angle α between the two side surfaces 421 of the locking groove 42 is not less than 71°.

[0075] When the motor 60 drives the character wheel 40 to rotate to the right position, due to the error of the motor 60 and the error of manufacturing precision, etc., Figure 8 In the state shown, at this time, the ejector pin 30 and the lock groove 42 are not completely corresponding; in order to ensure that the ejector pin 30 can effectively adjust the position of the character wheel 40 during the radial extension process, so that the character wheel 40 Figure 8 The state shown in Figure 7 In the state shown, the angle between the two side surfaces 421 of the locking groove 42 needs to be greater than or equal to 71° to ensure that the ejector pin 30 can smoothly fine-tune the position of the ejector pin 30 .

[0076] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the automatic numbering machine further comprises an external positioning lock 70, which is connected to the base 10 and disposed adjacent to the character wheel 40, and has a positioning plate 72 that can move toward the direction close to the character wheel 40 to abut against the character wheel 40.

[0077] During the complementary code printing process, the method of internally aligning the character wheel 40 only by the radial positioning lock cannot completely guarantee the neatness of number printing, especially after the lock groove 42 and the ejector pin 30 are worn due to long-term use; therefore, on the basis of the original radial positioning lock, an external positioning lock 70 can be added to cooperate with the radial positioning lock to further improve the neatness of number printing.

[0078] Specifically, Figure 3 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, an external positioning lock 70 is installed on one side of the base 10. The external positioning lock 70 has a positioning plate 72. The positioning plate 72 is movably connected to the base 10 through a fixed structure, and the positioning plate 72 is driven by a cylinder. The length direction of the positioning plate 72 (the extension direction of the end face abutting against the character wheel 40) is parallel to the axial direction of the core shaft 20. Therefore, under the drive of the cylinder, the positioning plate 72 can further fine-tune the position of the character wheel 40 in the process of abutting against the outer side of the character wheel 40, thereby ensuring the neat effect of the character wheel 40.

[0079] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, positioning grooves 44 are provided between adjacent printed numbers 41 on the character wheel 40 , and the external positioning lock 70 has a positioning column that can move toward the direction close to the character wheel 40 to be inserted into the positioning groove 44 .

[0080] Specifically, positioning grooves 44 are provided between two adjacent printed numbers 41, and a plurality of positioning posts are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the core shaft 20. Driven by the cylinder, the positioning posts can move toward the character wheel 40 to be embedded in the positioning grooves 44 on the character wheel 40. Since the plurality of positioning posts are located on the same straight line, the positioning posts can further fine-tune the position of the character wheel 40 during the process of the positioning posts being embedded in the positioning grooves 44, thereby ensuring the neatness of the character wheel 40.

[0081] The workflow of the automatic numbering machine described in the present invention is as follows:

[0082] First, the cylinder 50 connected to the radial positioning lock is opened, and the ejector pin 30 is radially retracted to release the lock on the character wheel 40. At the same time, the motor 60 receives the signal sent by the control system, and then controls the character wheel 40 to rotate to the number position to be printed. If the character wheel 40 not connected to the motor 60 also needs to be adjusted, the motor 60 drives the character wheel 40 to rotate, and the character wheel 40 that needs to be adjusted is manually moved. When all the character wheels 40 are adjusted to the right position, the cylinder 50 connected to the radial positioning lock is reversely driven, and the ejector pin 30 is radially extended under the action of the output shaft 51 of the cylinder 50, and the position of the character wheel 40 is adjusted and the character wheel 40 is locked. Afterwards, the cylinder connected to the external positioning lock 70 is opened, and the cylinder drives multiple positioning columns to embed into the positioning grooves 44 on the character wheel 40, thereby further fine-tuning and locking the position of the character wheel 40. At this time, the preparation process of the automatic numbering machine before printing the banknote has been completed. When the number is printed, the above process is repeated to print the next banknote that needs to be supplemented with a code.

[0083] Implementation Method 2

[0084] like Fig.11 As shown, the present invention also provides a complementary code printing system for printing banknotes with double rows of numbers in horizontal and vertical directions. Along the conveying direction of the paper, the complementary code printing system includes a paper feeding section 80, a printing section 81, a drying section 82 and a paper receiving section 83 connected in sequence, wherein the printing section 81 is provided with two automatic numbering machines as described in the first embodiment, and the setting directions of the two numbering machines are perpendicular to each other.

[0085] Since the automatic numbering machine of the present invention adopts radial positioning lock to realize positioning locking, the size of the entire numbering machine is small, and two automatic numbering machines at a certain angle can be installed in the limited space of the printing part, thereby realizing the printing of double-row numbers.

[0086] When the complementary code printing system of the present invention is working, the banknotes are output from the paper feeding section 80 and enter the printing section 81. At the same time, the automatic numbering machine in the printing section 81 starts to work, receives the number information that needs complementary code printing sent by the sorting machine, and dials the character wheel 40 according to the received number information. After the dialing is completed, the character wheel 40 is inked, and then a flat-pressing printing process is carried out. The banknotes with number printing are transported to the drying section 82, dried and cured by a UV curing light source, and the dried banknotes are stored in the paper receiving section 83.

[0087] Further, such as Fig.11As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a detection mechanism 84 and a rejection mechanism 85 are provided between the drying section 82 and the paper receiving section 83. The dried banknotes are firstly detected by the detection mechanism 84 to check whether the position of the numbers printed on the banknotes is correct, whether the numbers are clear, etc., and the banknotes that do not meet the standards are recorded and transmitted to the rejection mechanism 85, and the banknotes that do not meet the standards are rejected by the rejection mechanism 85 and reprinted.

[0088] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
