Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of financial equipment technology, and in particular to a rotating device for a cash box and financial equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Automated teller machines (ATMs), also known as automatic teller machines, are highly sophisticated electromechanical devices that use magnetic stripe cards or smart cards to provide self-service financial transactions. They replace bank tellers in handling cash transactions, checking account balances, transferring funds between accounts, depositing cash, depositing checks, updating passbooks, and checking balances. When a customer deposits money, they place banknotes into the deposit slot of the ATM. The banknotes enter the upper conveyor channel from the deposit slot, then pass through a temporary storage device and a banknote detector located on the upper conveyor channel. Finally, they enter the lower conveyor channel through a channel on the lower casing and enter the cash box. The cash box is mounted on a rotating device, which can be rotated to ensure the orderly storage of banknotes in different cash boxes.

[0003] However, there are some shortcomings in the current design of the rotating mechanism for cash boxes: First, most rotating devices currently use a connection method that plugs into the drive shaft. Under high-frequency forward and reverse rotation conditions, the connection is prone to wear. As the wear intensifies, the rotating device will exhibit play, resulting in a decrease in the accuracy of adjusting the position of the cash box. To ensure the normal operation of the equipment, it is often necessary to replace the entire rotating device or drive shaft, which undoubtedly increases the later maintenance cost of the equipment. Secondly, due to the aging and wear of components after long-term use, the accuracy of the rotating device in adjusting the position of the cash box gradually decreases. This can cause a deviation in the docking angle between the cash box and the conveying channel, leading to coin jamming. This not only affects the operating efficiency of the equipment, but may also hinder customers' deposit and withdrawal of funds, reduce user experience, and increase the pressure on equipment maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the above problems, one objective of this invention is to overcome these shortcomings, and more specifically, to provide a rotating device and financial equipment for a cash box, which facilitates timely correction of deviations caused by wear and tear, reduces the impact of wear and tear, and allows for autonomous, small-amplitude adjustment of the cash box angle, thereby preventing cash jams caused by angular deviations.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a rotating device and financial equipment for a cash box, specifically comprising: a rotating frame; the rotating frame having a cylindrical structure, and rectangular assembly slots being equally spaced on the side ends of the rotating frame; a rotating shaft being inserted into a connecting slot within the rotating frame, wherein during assembly, the slot on the inner side of the rotating shaft is aligned with a slot in the connecting slot, and a connecting plate in the slot can be inserted into the slot; a telescopic frame is provided inside the assembly slot, the telescopic frame being slidably engaged with the assembly slot via an elastic element; and the outer side of the rotating frame being adjacent to a positioning plate.

[0006] Preferably, a connecting groove is provided at the center of the rotating frame, and a rectangular slot is provided at the upper end of the connecting groove in an annular shape.

[0007] Preferably, the upper end of the rotating shaft has a rectangular slot in an annular shape, a connecting plate is inserted into the slot, half of the connecting plate is inserted into the slot, and only one set of connecting plates is provided.

[0008] Preferably, a transmission gear is fixedly mounted on the top of the rotating shaft, and a drive gear is connected to the outer end of the transmission gear. The drive gear is controlled by a motor to rotate in both directions.

[0009] Preferably, rotating plates are rotatably installed on both sides of the inside of the telescopic frame, and a through-type insertion groove is opened in the middle of the rotating plate.

[0010] Preferably, the telescopic frame contains a cash box with a hollow interior and a rectangular through hole in the middle of the outer side of the cash box, and the cash box is located between two sets of rotating plates.

[0011] Preferably, magnetic blocks A are provided at the four corners of the side of the cash box, and mating blocks are provided symmetrically on both sides of the cash box, wherein the mating blocks are inserted into the mating slots.

[0012] Preferably, the positioning plate has a rectangular through hole inside, and the positioning plate has four sets of magnetic blocks B inside. The positioning plate can only dock with one cash box at a time. After the positioning plate docks with the cash box, the positioning plate and the rectangular through slot on the cash box will be connected.

[0013] A financial device comprising the aforementioned rotating device for a cash box. This invention provides a rotating device for a cash box and a financial device, which has the following advantages:

[0014] 1. This invention utilizes a design that combines a rotating shaft slot with a rotating frame slot, and employs only one set of detachable connecting plates. When wear occurs in the slots or grooves, causing gaps between the connecting plate and the slots or grooves, the insertion position of the connecting plate on the rotating shaft and rotating component can be changed. This allows the connecting plate to engage with slots and grooves that are not worn, thus avoiding the problem of misalignment caused by wear at the connection points due to high-frequency forward and reverse rotation. It eliminates the need to replace the entire rotating device or drive shaft, and when the connecting plate wears, only its individual components need to be replaced, effectively reducing the later maintenance costs of the equipment while ensuring the accuracy of the cash box position adjustment.

[0015] 2. This invention utilizes a rotating plate mounted within a telescopic frame, which works in conjunction with the magnetic attraction structure of the banknote box and the positioning plate. When the rotating frame drives the banknote box to rotate close to the positioning plate, the magnetic attraction causes the banknote box to extend the telescopic frame. Even if there is an angular deviation between the banknote box and the positioning plate, the rotating plate can still deflect within the telescopic frame during the movement of the banknote box, automatically offsetting the angular deviation and achieving precise docking between the banknote box and the positioning plate. This effectively avoids banknote jamming caused by docking angle issues, improves equipment operating efficiency, ensures smooth deposit and withdrawal for customers, reduces equipment maintenance pressure, and significantly enhances the user experience.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the described embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 As shown: This invention provides a rotating device and financial equipment for a cash box, comprising: a rotating frame 1; the rotating frame 1 has a cylindrical structure, and rectangular assembly slots 101 are equidistantly provided on the side ends of the rotating frame 1; a rotating shaft 2 is inserted into a connecting slot 102 inside the rotating frame 1, and when the rotating shaft 2 is assembled, its inner slot 201 is aligned with the card slot 1021 in the connecting slot 102, and the connecting plate 2011 in the slot 201 can be inserted and cooperated with the card slot 1021; a telescopic frame 3 is provided inside the assembly slot 101, and the telescopic frame 3 is slidably cooperated with the assembly slot 101 through an elastic element; the outside of the rotating frame 1 is adjacent to a positioning plate 4.

[0029] As a second embodiment of the present invention, based on embodiment 1, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, a connecting groove 102 is provided at the center of the rotating frame 1. A rectangular slot 1021 is provided in an annular shape at the upper end of the connecting groove 102. A rectangular slot 201 is provided in an annular shape at the upper end of the rotating shaft 2. A connecting plate 2011 is inserted into the slot 201. Half of the connecting plate 2011 is inserted into the slot 201. Only one set of connecting plates 2011 is provided. A transmission gear 202 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating shaft 2. A drive gear 203 is connected to the outer end of the transmission gear 202. The drive gear 203 is controlled by a motor and can rotate in both directions.

[0030] In this invention, the cash box 302 is installed into the interior of the rotating frame 1 through the assembly slot 101, and the rotating shaft 2 is inserted into the connecting slot 102 in the rotating frame 1. The slot 201 on the rotating shaft 2 is aligned with the slot 1021 in the connecting slot 102. Then, a set of connecting plates 2011 are simultaneously inserted into the slot 201 and the slot 1021. Through the transmission action of the drive gear 203 and the transmission gear 202, the rotating shaft 2 can drive the rotating frame 1 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the cash box 302. By setting only one set of detachable connecting plates 2011, the insertion position of the connecting plates 2011 can be replaced in time when the slot 201 and the slot 1021 are worn, preventing gaps from appearing between the connecting plates 2011 and the slot 201 and the slot 1021 due to long-term wear.

[0031] As a third embodiment of the present invention, based on embodiment 1, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, rotating plates 301 are rotatably installed on both sides of the telescopic frame 3. A through-type insertion slot 3011 is opened in the middle of the rotating plate 301. A banknote box 302 is installed inside the telescopic frame 3. The banknote box 302 has a hollow structure inside. A rectangular through hole is opened in the middle of the outer side of the banknote box 302. The banknote box 302 is located between two sets of rotating plates 301. Magnetic blocks A3021 are provided at the four corners of the side end of the banknote box 302. The two sides of the banknote box 302 are symmetrically provided with mating blocks 3022. The mating blocks 3022 are inserted and mated with the insertion slot 3011. A rectangular through hole is opened inside the positioning plate 4. Four sets of magnetic blocks B401 are provided inside the positioning plate 4. The positioning plate 4 can only dock with one banknote box 302 at a time. After the positioning plate 4 docks with the banknote box 302, the rectangular through slot on the positioning plate 4 will be connected.

[0032] In this invention, a telescopic frame 3 is slidably installed into an assembly slot 101, and two sets of rotating plates 301 are rotatably installed inside the telescopic frame 3. A mating block 3022 is inserted into an insertion slot 3011, and a banknote box 302 is installed within the telescopic frame 3. A positioning plate 4 with a rectangular through-slot is installed at the conveying channel opening. When the rotating frame 1 drives the banknote box 302 to rotate to a position close to the positioning plate 4, the magnetic blocks A3021 and B401 on the banknote box 302 and positioning plate 4 attract each other, causing the banknote box 302 to drive the telescopic frame 3 to extend out of the assembly slot 101. The banknote box 302 with the rectangular through-slot then comes into contact with the positioning plate 4. Even if there is an angular deviation between the orientation of the banknote box 302 and the positioning plate 4, the banknote box 302, when moving, can cause the rotating plates 301 to deflect inside the telescopic frame 3, thereby offsetting the angular deviation between the banknote box 302 and the positioning plate 4, enabling precise docking between the banknote box 302 and the positioning plate 4.

[0033] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows: In this invention, such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the telescopic frame 3 is slidably installed into the assembly slot 101 inside the rotating frame 1. Then, two sets of rotating plates 301 are rotatably installed inside the telescopic frame 3. The mating block 3022 is inserted into the insertion slot 3011, so that the banknote box 302 is installed in the telescopic frame 3. The positioning plate 4 with a rectangular through slot is installed on the conveying channel opening. The rotating shaft 2 is inserted into the connecting slot 102 inside the rotating frame 1, so that the slot 1021 is aligned with the slot 201. The two ends of the connecting plate 2011 are respectively inserted into the slot 201 and the slot 1021. The motor drives the rotation of the drive gear 203. Under the transmission action of the transmission gear 202, the rotating part 1 drives the banknote box 302 to rotate and adjust. When the banknote box 302 rotates to a position close to the positioning plate 4, the banknote box 302 and the positioning plate 4 are aligned. The magnetic blocks A3021 and B401 on plate 4 attract each other, causing the banknote box 302 to extend the telescopic frame 3 a certain distance from the assembly slot 101. This facilitates the docking of the banknote box 302 with the positioning plate 4 and ensures that the position of the banknote box 302 with the rectangular through slot is aligned with the positioning plate 4. Even if there is an angular deviation between the orientation of the banknote box 302 and the positioning plate 4, the banknote box 302 can drive the rotating plate 301 to deflect inside the telescopic frame 3 when it moves, thereby offsetting the angular deviation between the banknote box 302 and the positioning plate 4. This ensures that the banknote box 302 and the positioning plate 4 are precisely docked, preventing banknote jamming. When the rotating frame 1 drives the banknote box 302 to rotate again, the positioning plate 4 disengages from the banknote box 302, and the elastic element drives the banknote box 302 to retract and reset via the telescopic frame 3.

[0034] The following points should be noted in this article: 1. The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention only involve the structures involved in the embodiments of the present invention; other structures can refer to general designs.
