Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of financial equipment technology, and in particular relates to a clearing device and financial processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development and social progress, coins, as an important form of currency, are seeing an increasing circulation, often necessitating automated coin sorting. However, current sorting methods often struggle to control the sorting pace, impacting efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this application proposes a sorting device and financial processing equipment, which, by having the transmission structure part aligned with the first exit of the coin sorting structure, can improve the controllability of the sorting rhythm and the posture of the financial medium, thereby improving sorting efficiency, recognition accuracy, maintenance convenience, and reliability.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a sorting device, comprising: The shell forms multiple transfer channels; The coin-splitting structure is disposed in the housing and has a first inlet and a first outlet, for sequentially outputting multiple financial instruments received from the first inlet through the first outlet; An identification module is disposed in the housing and forms an identification channel, the identification channel being connected to the first outlet and optionally connected to the transfer channel; A transmission structure, disposed in the housing and partially facing the first outlet, is used to drive the financial medium output from the first outlet through the identification channel and the transit channel in sequence.

[0005] According to the sorting device of this application, on the one hand, the transmission structure is directly facing the first outlet, allowing direct connection to the financial medium output from the first outlet. This achieves seamless connection between the financial medium and the identification process. Compared to related technologies that often utilize the weight of the financial medium to enter the identification module before connecting to the transmission structure, this avoids the influence of the falling speed and posture of the financial medium under its own weight, allowing for precise control of the sorting rhythm and identification posture, thus improving sorting efficiency and identification accuracy. On the other hand, since the transmission structure is directly facing the first outlet, compared to related technologies where the transmission structure is often located around the coin-splitting structure, this allows the transmission structure to be hidden behind the coin-splitting structure. This improves the structural compactness of the sorting device, reduces the possibility of interference with the maintenance of the front side of the coin-splitting structure, and enhances the convenience and reliability of maintenance.

[0006] According to one embodiment of this application, the transmission structure includes: A transmission component is movably disposed within the housing; Multiple spaced positioning elements are disposed on the transmission element and are adapted to cooperate with the financial medium for positioning.

[0007] According to one embodiment of this application, the positioning element includes: The first segment is disposed on the transmission element and extends out of the transmission element along the direction of the first outlet, and is adapted to abut against the side wall of the financial medium. The second segment is set at an angle to the first segment and spaced apart from the transmission element, and the side of the second segment closer to the transmission element is adapted to abut against the end face of the financial medium.

[0008] According to one embodiment of this application, the coin-sharing structure includes: A coin hopper is disposed in the housing to form a storage cavity having the first inlet and the first outlet; The coin separator has a positioning hole, the inner edge of which is at least partially adapted to abut against the outer wall of the financial medium. The coin separator is movably disposed within the receiving cavity to allow selective communication between the positioning hole and the first outlet.

[0009] According to one embodiment of this application, the positioning hole includes: The first perforation segment has a depth not greater than the thickness of the financial medium. The second orifice is connected to the first orifice and is located on the side of the first orifice away from the first outlet. The diameter of the second orifice gradually decreases along the direction closer to the first orifice.

[0010] According to one embodiment of this application, the coin dispenser is rotatably disposed within a receiving cavity, and the rotation axis of the coin dispenser is parallel to the orientation of the first outlet; and / or The positioning holes are provided in multiple ways, and the multiple positioning holes are distributed circumferentially at intervals around the rotation center of the coin-splitting component; and / or The side of the receiving cavity away from the coin divider has a guide surface, which is inclined from top to bottom toward the side closer to the coin divider.

[0011] According to one embodiment of this application, the plurality of transfer channels include a coin return channel, and the coin bin includes: The bucket body forms the first inlet and the first outlet; A movable plate is movably disposed on the hopper body and together forms the storage cavity, which is used to selectively connect the storage cavity with the coin return channel.

[0012] According to one embodiment of this application, the housing is inclined from top to bottom along the direction close to the coin structure.

[0013] According to one embodiment of this application, the sorting device further includes; Multiple reversing components, corresponding to multiple transfer channels, are movably disposed within the housing between a first position and a second position, forming a transition channel; wherein, When the reversing element is in the first position, it is used to close the transit channel so that the transmission structure can drive the financial medium through the transition channel. The reversing element, in the second position, is used to open the transfer channel.

[0014] According to one embodiment of this application, the commutator includes: The connecting part, one end of which is rotatably connected to the housing; A guide portion is provided at an obtuse angle at the other end of the connecting portion, forming the transition channel.

[0015] Secondly, this application provides a financial processing apparatus, which includes the clearing device described above.

[0016] According to the financial processing equipment of this application, by aligning the transmission structure portion of the sorting device with the first exit of the coin sorting structure, the controllability of the sorting rhythm and the attitude of the financial medium can be improved, thereby increasing sorting efficiency, identification accuracy, maintenance convenience, and reliability.

[0020] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0021] The following is for reference. Figures 1-7 The present application describes a sorting device provided in an embodiment of the present application, which includes a housing 100, a coin-splitting structure 200, an identification module 300, and a transmission structure 400.

[0022] The housing 100 forms multiple transfer channels 101. It should be noted that the size, shape and number of transfer channels 101 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on them.

[0023] The coin distribution structure 200 is disposed in the housing 100 and has a first inlet 201 and a first outlet 202, for sequentially outputting multiple financial instruments 10 received from the first inlet 201 through the first outlet 202; the identification module 300 is disposed in the housing 100 and forms an identification channel, which is connected to the first outlet 202 and optionally connected to the transit channel 101. It should be noted that the size and shape of the first inlet 201 and the first outlet 202 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on them.

[0024] It is understandable that the coin sorting structure 200 receives the financial medium 10 through the first inlet 201 and processes it in an orderly manner. After the financial medium 10 is identified in the identification channel through the first outlet 202, it is output to different transfer channels 101 according to the type of the financial medium 10 (such as denomination or material), so as to store the financial medium 10 in the cash box or temporarily store the financial medium 10 for subsequent change-making operations, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the processing of the financial medium 10.

[0025] It should be noted that financial medium 10 includes, but is not limited to, circulating coins, commemorative coins, or collectible coins.

[0026] For example, the identification channel is equipped with an identification coil and a position sensor. When the financial medium 10 enters the identification channel, the identification coil uses electromagnetic detection technology to detect the material and size of the financial medium 10 to preliminarily determine its face value. This is combined with the time taken for the financial medium 10 to pass through the identification channel, obtained from the position sensor, to confirm the face value is correct. Of course, in other embodiments, visual detection technology can also be used to classify the financial medium 10; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0027] The transmission structure 400 is disposed on the housing 100 and partially faces the first outlet 202, and is used to drive the financial medium 10 output from the first outlet 202 through the identification channel and the transit channel 101 in sequence.

[0028] Understandably, on the one hand, the transmission structure 400 is directly aligned with the first outlet 202, allowing direct connection to the financial medium 10 output from the first outlet 202. This achieves a seamless transition of the financial medium 10 from coin sorting to identification. Compared to related technologies where the financial medium 10 often enters the identification module 300 by its own weight before connecting with the transmission structure 400, this avoids the influence of the financial medium 10's falling speed and posture due to its own weight, allowing for precise control of the sorting rhythm and identification posture, thus improving sorting efficiency and identification accuracy. On the other hand, the transmission structure 400 is directly aligned with the first outlet 202. Compared to related technologies where the transmission structure 400 is often located around the coin sorting structure 200, this allows the transmission structure 400 to be partially hidden behind the coin sorting structure 200. This improves the structural compactness of the sorting device, reduces the possibility of interference with the maintenance of the front of the coin sorting structure 200, and enhances the convenience and reliability of maintenance.

[0029] According to the sorting device provided in the embodiments of this application, by having the transmission structure 400 part aligned with the first outlet 202 of the coin-splitting structure 200, the sorting rhythm and the controllability of the attitude of the financial medium 10 can be improved, thereby increasing sorting efficiency, recognition accuracy, maintenance convenience and reliability.

[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the transmission structure 400 includes a transmission element 410 and a plurality of spaced positioning elements 420. The transmission element 410 is movably disposed on the housing 100; the positioning elements 420 are disposed on the transmission element 410 and are adapted to engage with the financial medium 10 for positioning. It should be noted that the number and specific distribution of the positioning elements 420 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this. The transmission element 410 includes, but is not limited to, a ring conveyor belt or a ring conveyor chain.

[0031] For example, the positioning element 420 has a circular cross-sectional shape to facilitate rolling contact with the financial medium 10 and reduce friction. It should be noted that the shape and number of positioning elements 420 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0032] Understandably, the transmission component 410 is wound around multiple synchronous wheels surrounding the housing 100, thereby driving the transmission component 410 to move relative to the housing 100. Simultaneously, multiple positioning components 420 are spaced apart from the transmission component 410, and the positioning components 420 and the financial medium 10 are mutually restrictive, driving the financial medium 10 and the transmission component 410 to move synchronously. This ensures that the financial medium 10 can smoothly enter the identification channel and the target transfer channel 101, improving the smoothness and stability of the financial medium 10 during transmission. Furthermore, the fixed distance between adjacent positioning components 420 allows the financial medium 10 to pass through the identification module 300 at predictable time intervals, improving identification accuracy and sorting efficiency. The positioning components also act as barriers on the inclined or vertical sections of the transmission component 410, improving transmission reliability.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the positioning member 420 includes a first segment 421 and a second segment 422. The first segment 421 is disposed on the transmission member 410 and extends out of the transmission member 410 along the orientation of the first outlet 202, and is adapted to abut against the side wall of the financial medium 10. The second segment 422 is disposed at an angle to the first segment 421 and spaced apart from the transmission member 410. The side of the second segment 422 closer to the transmission member 410 is adapted to abut against the end face of the financial medium 10. Exemplarily, the second segment 422 and the first segment 421 are disposed at a right angle so that the positioning member 420 is L-shaped.

[0034] Understandably, the first segment 421 provides a stable lateral restraint on the financial medium 10, ensuring that the financial medium 10 is reliably pushed in the transmission direction and reducing the possibility of deviation on the transmission component 410. Simultaneously, the second segment 422's end-face contact with the financial medium 10 further constrains its posture, enhancing its stability during transmission and improving recognition accuracy and transmission reliability.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the coin-distributing structure 200 includes a coin hopper 210 and a coin-distributing component 220. The coin hopper 210 is disposed in the housing 100, forming a receiving cavity with a first inlet 201 and a first outlet 202. The coin-distributing component 220 has a positioning hole 221, the inner edge of which is at least partially adapted to abut against the outer wall of the financial medium 10. The coin-distributing component 220 is movably disposed within the receiving cavity to selectively communicate with the positioning hole 221 and the first outlet 202. It should be noted that the size and shape of the receiving cavity can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0036] Understandably, multiple financial media 10 enter the receiving cavity after passing through the first inlet 201. Subsequently, the coin sorting component 220 moves relative to the coin hopper 210 to selectively connect the positioning hole 221 and the first outlet 202, thereby enabling a single financial media 10 to be sequentially output from the first outlet 202 through the positioning hole 221 and to cooperate with the positioning component 420 for limiting, thus realizing the single transmission of the financial media 10 and improving the operating efficiency and accuracy of the coin sorting structure 200.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the coin divider 220 is rotatably disposed within the receiving cavity, and the rotation axis of the coin divider 220 is parallel to the orientation of the first outlet 202. Of course, in other embodiments, the coin divider 220 may also move relative to the receiving cavity to achieve selective communication between the positioning hole 221 and the first outlet 202 during the movement of the coin divider 220. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0038] It is understandable that by rotating the coin-splitting component 220, not only can the coin-splitting structure 200 be made more compact, but the positioning hole 221 can also directly transfer the financial medium 10 to the first outlet 202, thereby improving the smoothness of the movement and the stability of the posture of the financial medium 10, optimizing the sorting efficiency, and improving the controllability of the sorting rhythm.

[0039] It should be noted that by having part of the transmission structure 400 aligned with the first outlet 202, the movement speed of the transmission component 410 and the rotation speed of the coin-splitting component 220 can be synchronized to improve the synchronization of their rhythms. That is, when the coin-splitting component 220 drives the positioning hole 221 to rotate to the first outlet 202, the transmission component 410 will just drive a positioning component 420 to move to the first outlet 202 for receiving, which improves the smoothness of the transfer of the financial medium 10 between the two and improves the sorting efficiency and reliability.

[0040] In some embodiments, the coin-distributing structure 200 further includes a first driving member. The fixed end of the first driving member is disposed in the housing 100, and the output end of the first driving member extends into the coin hopper 210 and is connected to the coin-distributing component 220 for driving the coin-distributing component 220 to rotate. Exemplarily, the first driving member includes, but is not limited to, a rotary motor.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, multiple positioning holes 221 are provided, and the multiple positioning holes 221 are distributed circumferentially at intervals, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the coin-separating structure 200 in separating the financial medium 10. It should be noted that the number and specific distribution of the positioning holes 221 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the positioning hole 221 includes a first hole segment 2211 and a second hole segment 2212. The hole depth of the first hole segment 2211 is not greater than the thickness of the financial medium 10. The second hole segment 2212 is connected to the first hole segment 2211 and is located on the side of the first hole segment 2211 away from the first outlet 202. The hole diameter of the second hole segment 2212 gradually decreases along the direction close to the first hole segment 2211.

[0043] Understandably, the financial medium 10 passes through the second aperture segment 2212 and the first aperture segment 2211 sequentially before entering the first outlet 202. On one hand, the depth of the aperture segment 2211 is not less than the thickness of the financial medium 10. If multiple financial media 10 overlap, the financial medium 10 closest to the first outlet 202 can continue to move in the positioning hole 221, while the remaining financial media 10 will slide back to the bottom of the receiving cavity due to insufficient support at their outer edges. This reduces the possibility of multiple financial media 10 entering the first outlet 202 simultaneously, lowering the risk of jamming and blockage. On the other hand, the aperture of the second aperture segment 2212 gradually decreases towards the first aperture segment 2211, making the second aperture segment 2212 conical or trumpet-shaped. This helps guide the financial medium 10 smoothly into the first aperture segment 2211 and also facilitates the sliding of the remaining financial media 10 to the bottom of the receiving cavity, improving the efficiency of coin sorting.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the side of the receiving cavity away from the coin divider 220 has a guide surface 2101, which is inclined from top to bottom towards the side closer to the coin divider 220. The inclination angle and size of the guide surface 2101 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on it.

[0045] It is understandable that the guide surface 2101 is inclined from top to bottom toward the side closer to the coin-splitting component 220, that is, the vertical distance between the guide surface 2101 and the coin-splitting component 220 gradually decreases from top to bottom. This can help guide the financial medium 10 into the positioning hole 221 more smoothly by utilizing the weight of the financial medium 10 itself, thereby improving the coin-splitting efficiency, reducing mechanical wear, and simplifying the overall structure.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the storage cavity is open to form a first inlet 201, and the first outlet 202 is opened on the side wall of the storage cavity and close to the upper end of the storage cavity.

[0047] Understandably, the first inlet 201 is located at the upper end of the receiving cavity, facilitating the smooth entry of the financial medium 10 into the receiving cavity and reducing resistance during the dispensing process. Simultaneously, the first outlet 202 is located on the side wall of the receiving cavity away from the guide surface 2101 and close to the upper end of the receiving cavity. This reduces the risk of two or more financial media 10 entering the first outlet 202 simultaneously, fully utilizes the gravity of the financial medium 10, improves coin dispensing efficiency, reduces the risk of jamming and blockage, simplifies the coin dispensing structure 200, and improves the reliability and service life of the coin dispensing structure 200.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the coin-splitting structure 200 also includes a baffle 500, which covers the first inlet 201 and has an input port 501 communicating with the receiving cavity. The input port 501 is located away from the first outlet 202. This reduces the possibility that the financial medium 10 entering the receiving cavity from the input port 501 will directly fall into the first outlet 202, thereby limiting the output path of the financial medium 10 in the receiving cavity, so that only one financial medium 10 is output through the first outlet 202 at a time, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of coin splitting.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the baffle 500 is inclined downward in a direction away from the first outlet 202. It should be noted that the inclination angle and size of the baffle 500 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0050] Understandably, when the financial medium 10 falls into the inlet 501, it will slide along the inclined baffle 500 and the guide surface 2101 to the bottom of the receiving cavity. This not only reduces the risk of the financial medium 10 accumulating directly below the inlet 501, but also reduces the impact of the financial medium 10 falling. This helps to extend the movement path of the financial medium 10 in the receiving cavity and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of coin distribution.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the multiple transfer channels 101 include a coin return channel, and the coin hopper 210 includes a hopper body 211, which forms a first inlet 201 and a first outlet 202. The movable plate 212 is movably disposed on the hopper body 211 and together forms a receiving cavity, which is used to selectively connect the receiving cavity with the coin return channel.

[0052] Understandably, in the first state, the receiving cavity and the coin return channel of the movable plate 212 are not directly connected. That is, the financial medium 10 in the cash box or entering from the first inlet 201 needs to enter the coin return channel sequentially through the transmission structure 400 in order to make change and return the financial medium 10 that has been incorrectly identified. It can also accommodate unexpected situations where there are problems with the sorting (such as when the financial medium 10 fails to enter the current cash box in time and accurately through the corresponding transfer channel 101, the financial medium 10 can directly enter the coin return channel for subsequent processing or recycling). In the second state, the receiving cavity and the coin return channel of the movable plate 212 are directly connected, so that multiple financial mediums 10 in the receiving cavity can enter the coin return channel at the same time, so that excess financial mediums 10 in the receiving cavity can be directly discharged, thereby improving the sorting efficiency.

[0053] For example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the movable plate 212 is located on the side of the coin hopper 210 away from the first outlet 202, so as to use gravity to improve the efficiency of emptying the storage cavity, while reducing the impact on normal coin dispensing.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the movable plate 212 is rotatably mounted on the coin hopper 210. The coin dispensing structure 200 also includes a second driving member 230. The fixed end of the second driving member 230 is mounted on the coin hopper 210, and the driving end of the second driving member 230 is connected to the movable plate 212 to drive the movable plate 212 to switch between a first state and a second state. The second driving member 230 includes, but is not limited to, a servo motor.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the shell 100 is inclined from top to bottom along the direction close to the coin structure 200.

[0056] It is understandable that the inclined setting of the housing 100 can drive the coin sorting structure 200, the transmission structure 400 and the identification module 300 set on the housing 100 to tilt synchronously. This allows the self-weight force generated by the tilt to automatically move the financial medium 10 from the first outlet 202 to the transmission component 410 and cooperate with the positioning component 420 to limit it. This reduces the risk of the financial medium 10 bouncing or tipping over during transfer and improves the reliability of sorting.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the sorting device also includes multiple reversing components 600, which correspond to multiple transfer channels 101. The reversing components 600 are movably disposed within the housing 100 between a first position and a second position, forming a transition channel 601; wherein, In the first position, the commutator 600 is used to close the transit channel 101 so that the transmission structure 400 can drive the financial medium 10 through the transit channel 601. In the second position, the reversing component 600 is used to open the transfer channel 101. It should be noted that the shape and size of the transfer channel 601 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0058] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the straight arrow represents the direction of transport of financial medium 10.

[0059] It is understandable that multiple financial media 10 are sequentially output from the first outlet 202 after passing through the first inlet 201. The transmission structure 400 drives the financial media 10 through the identification channel to determine the corresponding target transit channel 101. Then, the target switching element 600 corresponding to the target transit channel 101 is in the second position, and all switching elements 600 located upstream of the target switching element 600 along the transmission direction are in the first position. Thus, the transmission structure 400 drives the financial media 10 to first pass through the transition channel 601 formed by each switching element 600 located upstream in sequence, and then enter the opened transit channel 101.

[0060] It should be noted that one of the multiple transfer channels 101 is a coin return channel, while the others are coin drop channels, so as to realize the functions of giving change and classifying and storing the financial medium 10 respectively.

[0061] In some embodiments, the switching of the commutator 600 between the first position and the second position is achieved by switching the electromagnetic drive on and off. Of course, in other embodiments, other methods can also be used to achieve the switching of the commutator 600 between the first position and the second position. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the commutator 600 includes a connecting portion 610 and a guide portion 620. One end of the connecting portion 610 is rotatably connected to the housing 100. The guide portion 620 is disposed at an obtuse angle at the other end of the connecting portion 610, forming a transition channel 601. It should be noted that the included angle between the guide portion 620 and the connecting portion 610 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0063] Understandably, the connecting part 610 is rotatably disposed on the housing 100, which can make full use of the space on both sides of the housing 100 along the first outlet 202, thereby improving the compactness of the clearing device. At the same time, the guide part 620 is disposed on the housing 100 at an obtuse angle, that is, the guide part 620 is inclined relative to the housing 100. This not only enables the closing and opening of the transfer channel 101, but also helps to guide the financial medium 10 when the transfer channel 101 is open, which is conducive to the rapid entry of the financial medium 10 into the transfer channel 101 and improves the clearing efficiency.

[0064] This application also provides a financial processing device. This financial processing device includes the aforementioned clearing apparatus.
