Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of high-counter cash deposit and withdrawal technology, and more specifically, relates to a cash transfer device that passes through a high-counter. Background Technology

[0002] In accordance with bank security requirements, bulletproof glass is installed on the bank teller counters, and the walls beneath the bulletproof glass are also reinforced with security measures. The main communication channel between customers and bank tellers is a cash register slot embedded in the countertop beneath the bulletproof glass.

[0003] Currently, banks are downsizing their branches and reducing staff. At the same time, branches are transferring tellers from teller counters to the lobby. Branches that originally had 3-6 teller counters are now only keeping 1-2 counters to handle business, resulting in a large number of idle teller counters.

[0004] Currently, without damaging the existing high-counter facilities, deploying automated cash deposit and withdrawal equipment in the unused high-counter area (behind the bulletproof glass) can improve the space utilization of the branch.

[0005] To address this, a corresponding cash conveying structure is specifically designed to transport cash within the cash register slot. Existing cash register conveying structures typically employ a cash-carrying box that moves repeatedly in a U-shape within the slot to transfer cash, working in conjunction with a gripper mechanism to enable cash deposit and retrieval by automated cash deposit and retrieval systems. For example, patent application number 2024215416926 discloses a cash-carrying cabinet auxiliary conveying device, where the cash-carrying basket uses a U-shaped conveyor chain to achieve its U-shaped repetitive movement. This method makes the installation structure of the cash-carrying basket relatively complex, and results in slow movement speed and low transport efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the technical problem of low efficiency in transferring cash using U-shaped motion cash baskets in the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide a cash conveying device for through-cabinet, which uses a swinging cash basket assembly to transport cash. In this way, the cash basket assembly does not need to perform a U-shaped motion as a whole, but only swings to achieve cash transport, which greatly improves the transport efficiency.

[0016] In one embodiment, the cash clamping block includes a long base block and a plurality of clamping teeth spaced apart on the long base block.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the cash conveying equipment provided in this application are as follows: the cash basket assembly is oscillating and conveying cash, so the cash basket assembly does not need to make a U-shaped movement as a whole, but only oscillates to convey cash in the cash register slot, which greatly improves the conveying efficiency; moreover, the cash basket assembly is oscillating and is mounted on the mounting bracket, and the mounting bracket can be placed in the cash register slot to complete the assembly without modifying the cash register slot and the counter, which is convenient to install.

[0032] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0035] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0036] like Figures 1-11 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a cash transfer device for a high-bay counter. This cash transfer device is installed inside the cash register slot and is used to transfer cash between the outer outlet and the inner outlet of the cash register slot.

[0037] Specifically, the over-the-counter cash transfer device includes a mounting bracket 1 and a cash basket assembly that is swung on the mounting bracket 1. The mounting bracket 1 is installed at the inner opening of the cash register slot. The mounting bracket 1 includes three mounting side plates and a mounting base plate. The three mounting side plates are a left side plate, a right side plate, and a rear side plate (in this document, the direction closer to the inside of the over-the-counter is defined as the rear direction, and the direction closer to the outside of the over-the-counter is defined as the outward direction). The top of the three mounting side plates is provided with an overlapping edge 15, which rests on the over-the-counter counter around the inner opening of the cash register slot, making the installation of the mounting bracket and the cash register slot simple. The outer side of the mounting bracket 1 is a movable opening, which faces outward from the over-the-counter, so that the cash basket assembly can swing outward from the over-the-counter through the movable opening, allowing the cash basket assembly to swing to below the outer opening of the cash register slot. Users can put in or take out cash from the outer opening.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figures 3-11 As shown, the cash basket assembly includes: a basket frame 2, a swing drive assembly 3, and a cash clamping assembly 4.

[0039] The cash basket frame 2 includes a left short side plate, a right short side plate, a front long side plate, a rear long side plate, and a bottom plate. The upper opening 21 of the cash basket frame 2 is used for taking and placing cash. The bottom sides of the left and right short side plates are arranged in a triangular shape, located below the bottom plate. The bottom of the left and right short side plates of the cash basket frame 2 is rotatably mounted on the left and right side plates of the mounting bracket 1. A swing drive assembly 3 is mounted on the mounting base plate of the mounting bracket 1 and is connected to the bottom of the cash basket frame 2. The swing drive assembly 3 drives the cash basket frame 2 to swing, so that the upper opening 21 of the cash basket frame 2 communicates with the inner or outer opening of the cash register slot, thereby realizing the taking and placing of cash. A cash clamping assembly 4 is installed inside the cash basket frame 2 and clamps the cash. Clamping the cash facilitates the gripper mechanism inside the high counter to grab the cash and place it in the deposit slot of the automatic cash deposit and withdrawal device.

[0040] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the swing drive assembly 3 includes a swing motor 31, a main drive gear 32, a driven gear 33, and an arc-shaped rack 34. A mounting base 11 is provided on the mounting plate of the mounting bracket 1. The swing motor 31 is fixed to the mounting base 11, the main drive gear 32 is fixed to the output shaft of the swing motor 31, the driven gear 33 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 11, and the arc-shaped rack 34 is fixed to the left or right short side plate of the banknote basket frame 2. The main drive gear 32 meshes with the driven gear 33, and the driven gear 33 meshes with the arc-shaped rack 34. When the swing motor 31 operates, it drives the main drive gear 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 33 to rotate. The rotation of the driven gear 33 drives the arc-shaped rack 34 to perform an arc-shaped motion, thereby causing the arc-shaped rack 34 to swing the banknote basket frame 2.

[0041] In this embodiment, the left or right side plate of the mounting bracket 1 is provided with two position sensors 12 for detecting the swing position of the banknote basket frame 2. One position sensor 12 is used to position the banknote basket frame 2 below the outer opening, and the other position sensor 12 is used to position the banknote basket frame 2 below the inner opening. Specifically, the mounting bracket 1 is also provided with two limiting posts 13 to prevent the banknote basket frame 2 from continuing to swing after it has reached its swing position. The function of the limiting posts 13 is to prevent the banknote basket frame 2 from continuing to swing after it has reached its swing position, or to provide mechanical positioning of the swing of the banknote basket frame 2 when the position sensors 12 are damaged.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, mounting shafts 14 are respectively provided on the left and right side plates of the mounting bracket 1. Mounting holes are provided at the bottom of the left and right short side plates of the banknote basket frame 2. Bearings 22 are fixed at the mounting holes, with the outer ring of the bearing 22 fixed inside the mounting hole and the inner ring of the bearing 22 fixedly connected to the mounting shafts 14, thus achieving a rotatable connection between the banknote basket frame 2 and the mounting bracket 1. The mounting shaft 14 is a T-shaped structure, inserted from the outside to the inside of the left and right side plates of the mounting bracket 1, and then fixed to the mounting bracket 1 by fastening screws.

[0043] like Figure 4 , Figures 7-11 As shown, the bottom plate of the cash basket frame 2 has a through hole in the middle. The cash clamping assembly includes a motor bracket 41, a clamping motor 42, a clamping gear 414, a clamping rack 43, and a cash clamping block 44. The motor bracket 41 is located on the lower surface of the bottom plate, the clamping motor 42 is mounted on the motor bracket 41, the clamping gear 414 is connected to the clamping motor 42 and extends into the upper surface of the bottom plate through the through hole, and there are two clamping racks 43 arranged symmetrically. Each clamping rack 43 has a cash clamping block 44. The clamping gear 414 is located between and meshes with the two clamping racks 43. When the clamping motor 42 rotates forward, it drives the two clamping racks 43 to move through the clamping gear 414, bringing the two cash clamping blocks 44 closer together to clamp the cash. When the clamping motor 42 rotates in reverse, the two cash clamping blocks 44 move away from each other to place the cash between them.

[0044] Specifically, the upper surface of the base plate is provided with two parallel guide rails 45. The bottom surface of each clamping rack 43 has a groove and is slidably mounted on the corresponding guide rail 45 through the groove, ensuring that the clamping rack only performs linear reciprocating motion. Of course, in other embodiments, each clamping rack 43 can be slidably mounted through the two guide rails 45. In this embodiment, the base plate is provided with a positioning sensor 46 that detects the maximum distance between the two cash clamping blocks 44. When the two cash clamping blocks 44 move away from each other and are detected by the positioning sensor 46, they stop moving, indicating that the two cash clamping blocks 44 have opened to the maximum distance, and the amount of cash that can be accommodated is at its maximum.

[0045] In this embodiment, a drive shaft 47 is rotatably mounted on the motor bracket 41. A torque limiter 48 is provided in the middle of the drive shaft 47. The drive shaft 47 is divided into two sections and is connected in the middle by the torque limiter 48. A clamping gear 414 is fixed to one end of the drive shaft 47. A first bevel gear 49 is provided at the other end of the drive shaft 47. A second bevel gear 410 that meshes with the first bevel gear 49 is provided on the output shaft of the clamping motor 42. The output shaft of the clamping motor 42 is horizontally positioned, while the transmission shaft 47 is vertically positioned. When the clamping motor 42 is working, it drives the transmission shaft 47 to rotate via the first bevel gear 49 and the second bevel gear 410. The transmission shaft 47 then drives the clamping gear 414 to rotate via the torque limiter 48, which in turn drives the clamping rack 43 to rotate, thereby clamping and opening the two cash clamping blocks 44. When the clamping force of the two cash clamping blocks 44 on the cash exceeds the torque of the torque limiter 48, the torque limiter 48 begins to slip, the clamping gear 414 stops rotating, and the cash clamping blocks 44 stop moving. After the torque limiter 48 slips, the clamping motor 42 stops working.

[0046] In this embodiment, both the front and rear long side plates of the cash basket frame 2 are provided with clearance grooves 24. The clearance grooves 24 are for accommodating the cash clamping blocks 44, so that more cash can be placed when the cash clamping blocks 44 are opened to their maximum distance. In this embodiment, the cash basket frame 2 is provided with a cash detection sensor 23 for detecting whether there is cash in the cash basket frame 2. The cash clamping block 44 includes a long strip base block 412 and a plurality of clamping teeth 413 spaced apart on the long strip base block 412. The clamping teeth 413 are spaced apart to facilitate the gripper mechanism to clamp the cash through the intervals. The cash clamping block 44 is provided with a gripper sensing sensor 411 for sensing whether the gripper mechanism is holding cash. If the gripper mechanism is detected to be holding cash, the clamping motor 42 reverses, causing the two cash clamping blocks 44 to open so that the gripper mechanism can clamp and remove the cash.

[0047] In actual operation, the outside of the high cabinet is also equipped with an operation panel gate assembly, and the inside of the high cabinet is equipped with a main control board, a gripper mechanism, and an automatic cash deposit and retrieval device. The operation panel gate assembly, the main control board, the gripper mechanism, and the automatic cash deposit and retrieval device are existing equipment and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
