[0033] The utility model provides a bank IoT smart cash box system. In the utility model, the bank IoT smart cash box system includes the following components:

[0034] Part 1: Communication terminal (intelligent gateway) that can send and receive wireless signals.

[0035] The communication terminal, which can also be called an intelligent gateway, is the core device for realizing wireless communication and building a communication network in the utility model. In a specific embodiment of the utility model, the structure of the communication terminal (intelligent gateway) is similar to the structure of a WIFI router in the prior art, except that the mainboard of the communication terminal is an integrated embedded operating system mainboard, which can make the communication terminal intelligent (so that the communication terminal has functions such as programmable, automatic control, interconnection with its intelligent devices, and receiving and sending wireless signals). A variety of interfaces are arranged on the mainboard of the communication terminal (intelligent gateway), such as a power supply interface, a USB interface, an optical fiber interface, etc. In addition, the utility model arranges a wireless communication module in the communication terminal (intelligent gateway), and the wireless communication module is preferably a Bluetooth communication module or a Zigbee communication module, etc., and supports replacement with a WIFI module or an operator network (4G or 5G, etc.) module.

[0036] The communication terminal (intelligent gateway) is connected to the internal network of the bank and can be controlled by the management system (treasury management system or bank branch counter application) (the operator sends instructions to the communication device through the management system). After receiving the instructions from the management system, the communication device parses them and sends signals to each IoT smart cash box according to the instructions. The IoT smart cash box then takes corresponding actions according to the signals, such as opening a specific cash box or returning a specific cash box to its locked state. After receiving the return information from the IoT smart cash box, the communication terminal (intelligent gateway) can send the return information to the treasury management system or branch counter application.

[0037] The second part is the IoT smart cash box connected to the communication terminal (smart gateway) by wireless communication.

[0038] The IoT smart cash box includes a cash box body and a cash box cover, and the cash box body and the cash box cover are hinged. In the prior art, the cash box cover and the cash box body are locked by two mechanical padlocks. Different from the prior art, the solution of the utility model is: a smart lock for locking the cash box body is arranged in the cash box body, and the cash box cover is locked by the smart lock.

[0039] Specifically, the smart lock includes a main control module 1 (a circuit board structure with signal processing function, which can receive signals sent by the communication terminal and take corresponding actions, such as unlocking or feeding back the current open and closed state of the smart lock), a wireless communication module (a module corresponding to the communication terminal and used to realize wireless communication), a power supply component 2 (a component used to provide power) and an electric lock. The main control module 1 is connected to the wireless communication module and can be connected to the communication terminal by wireless signals through the wireless communication module. The main control module 1 is connected to the power supply component 2, and the power supply component 2 is connected to the electric lock. The main control module 1 controls the electric lock to perform unlocking or locking actions.

[0040] For a bank system, there are a large number of cash boxes (hundreds) in its vault. For these cash boxes, there are roughly the following operations: 1. Open or close a cash box individually; 2. Open or close a batch of cash boxes in batches; 3. Check the lock status of the cash boxes. For the above three typical operations, the existing technology is to implement them one by one manually, which is not only labor-intensive, but also has no record of the use of cash box keys and the opening and closing records of cash boxes.

[0041] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a communication terminal (intelligent gateway), which builds a wireless communication network to achieve communication connection with multiple IoT smart cash boxes, thereby completing the above operations. Specifically, there are multiple IoT smart cash boxes, and each IoT smart cash box has a unique identification code (so that it can operate a specific cash box or a batch of specific cash boxes), and the communication terminal (intelligent gateway) builds a wireless communication network with a communication distance of no more than 30m, and multiple IoT smart cash boxes are wirelessly connected to the same communication terminal.

[0042] When the utility model performs unlocking operations on a batch of specific cash boxes, the process is as follows: first, the identification codes (cash box numbers) of the cash boxes that need to be opened in batches are obtained, and the mobile intelligent terminal sends the identification codes and the corresponding action instructions that need to be operated (such as unlocking) to the communication terminal (intelligent gateway). After the communication terminal (intelligent gateway) parses the information, it compares the identification codes and performs corresponding operations on each corresponding cash box, thereby completing the batch operation of the cash boxes.

[0043] Specifically, the communication terminal (smart gateway) and the IoT smart box are connected via Bluetooth wireless communication, and the communication module used is a Bluetooth wireless communication module.

[0044] Specifically, the communication terminal (smart gateway) and the IoT smart box are connected via Zigbee wireless communication, and the communication module used is the Zigbee wireless communication module.

[0045] Specifically, the communication terminal (smart gateway) and the IoT smart cash box are connected by wireless communication, and a WIFI module or an operator communication module (such as 4G or 5G) may also be used.

[0046] Furthermore, the smart lock also includes a state sensor for obtaining the state of the electric lock (unlocked state or locked state), and the state sensor is connected to the main control module 1. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the state sensor can be a distance sensor, and a calibration point is set on the lock bolt 5. The distance sensor measures the distance of the calibration point. In the unlocked or locked state, there is a predetermined fixed value between the calibration point on the lock bolt 5 and the distance sensor, so that the state of the electric lock can be determined by measuring the distance between the calibration point on the lock bolt 5. Of course, other sensors that can monitor the state of the electric lock can be applied to the present invention.

[0047] An electric lock is a device that is driven by electricity to unlock or lock. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the electric lock includes a drive device 3, a transmission system 4, a latch 5 and a lock hole. The lock hole is fixedly arranged on the cover of the box, the latch 5 can be slidably arranged on the box body and can cooperate with the lock hole to lock the box body. The drive device 3 and the transmission system 4 are both arranged on the box body, the drive device 3 is connected to the transmission system 4, and the transmission system 4 is connected to the latch 5.

[0048] Furthermore, two latches 5 are provided, and the two latches 5 are arranged in mirror image, so that the security level of the cash box can be guaranteed.

[0049] Specifically, the transmission system 4 includes a rotating rod, a driven wheel is arranged on the rotating rod, a driving wheel meshed with the driven wheel is arranged on the driving device 3, the rotating rod is driven to rotate by the driving device 3, a spiral groove is arranged on the rotating rod, and a slider that slides with the spiral groove is arranged on the latch 5. In the utility model, the latch 5 can slide back and forth in a straight line. In order to ensure that the latch 5 moves smoothly, the utility model can set a limit tube on the outside of the latch 5, and the latch 5 can slide in the limit tube, and the limit tube is fixed relative to the box. Of course, the utility model can also set a limit block on the latch 5 to prevent the latch 5 from escaping from the limit tube. In addition, the utility model can also set a limit tube on the rotating rod, so that the rotating rod can only rotate circumferentially and cannot move axially. The utility model adopts the mode of matching the slider with the spiral groove to convert the rotational motion of the rotating rod into the movement of the latch 5. Such a structure also has a self-locking feature to prevent the latch 5 from erroneous action under vibration or shaking.

[0050] Specifically, the electric lock includes a lock shell 6 (which can be a metal shell structure or a plastic shell structure), a drive device 3, a transmission system 4, a latch 5, a main control module 1 and a power supply component 2 are all arranged in the lock shell 6, and the latch 5 can be slid out of the lock shell 6 and plugged into the lock hole.

[0051] Specifically, the power supply component 2 is a rechargeable battery.

[0052] The utility model relates to a technology for remotely (or at a certain distance) controlling the opening of a bank cash box smart lock or collecting the opening and closing status of the bank cash box smart lock by using a non-contact identification method of the Internet of Things (IoT), and belongs to the field of Internet of Things applications for bank outlets or vaults.

[0053] The technical solution of the utility model is: use a smart lock (powered by a battery and having a unique ID identification code) to replace the two mechanical padlocks of an ordinary cash box, and when the cash box is unlocked, use the Internet of Things Bluetooth (or Zigbee) communication terminal (see Figure 2 ), through the Bluetooth (or Zigbee) communication technology, an unlocking instruction is sent to the IoT smart cash box. After receiving the instruction, the smart lock on the IoT smart cash box controls the power supply of the motor to open the latch 5, thereby opening the IoT smart cash box; when a certain number (for example, hundreds of) cash boxes need to be opened, the IoT Bluetooth (or Zigbee) communication terminal will repeat the above actions under the control of the computer to perform the batch opening operation of the IoT smart cash boxes. Since the operation is very fast, the user feels that the batch of IoT smart cash boxes are opened at the same time; when the open and closed states of the smart locks of a certain ID identification code are collected, the IoT Bluetooth (or Zigbee) communication terminal will send a status query request to the smart lock. The smart lock will reply to the IoT Bluetooth (or Zigbee) communication terminal according to the current state of the sensor. The current state is "1" indicating that the smart lock is in the open state, and the reply is "0" indicating that the smart lock is in the closed state. This operation supports batch query, and the status of hundreds of smart locks can be queried at one time. The IoT Bluetooth (or Zigbee) communication terminal can realize batch query of the smart lock status by cyclically executing the above single query action.

[0054] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0055] 1. Construct an IoT Bluetooth (or Zigbee) communication terminal (see Figure 2 ), integrate the Bluetooth (or Zigbee) module on a development board with an integrated embedded system (Linux or Android). Since the Bluetooth 2.4G frequency band performs well in near-field communication, the communication link is less affected by external interference, and can provide stable near-field communication. The communication distance can be controlled within 25 meters, which can form an effective electronic fence (communication area) to avoid signal leakage or malicious eavesdropping; 2. Install the smart lock inside the cash box (see Figure 3 ), the structure is reasonable and safe.

[0056] The structure of the smart lock is as follows: the smart lock includes a main control module 1, which coordinates and directs the work of various components. The battery part has two functions: the first is to power the low-power Bluetooth communication module, so that it can be awakened at any time when receiving a communication request from the Internet of Things communication terminal, and receive instructions. The instructions are parsed by the main control module 1. If it is an "unlock" instruction, the main control module 1 powers the stepping motor, and the motor runs to open the latch 5; if it is a "lock status" instruction, the main control module 1 will read the status indicator of the latch 5, and the status value will be sent by the main control module 1 to the Internet of Things communication terminal via Bluetooth communication; the second is to power the motor to realize the movement of the latch 5. Through the structural design of the smart lock, the latch 5 cannot be moved to the unlocked state without using violent damage to the box body, and the latch 5 can only be opened by controlling the motor through the system.

[0057] Through the above-mentioned structural design, the utility model can improve the operating efficiency of bank staff when using cash boxes, avoid using keys to open the mechanical padlocks on ordinary cash boxes one by one, and adopt the Internet of Things technology to operate the smart lock on the cash box (including Bluetooth module, battery module, motor-controlled latch 5) in a non-contact manner. It can also collect the current status of the smart lock from a long distance. Bank managers can monitor the status of the cash box in real time and audit the operation records (operator, time, operation content, etc.) afterwards.

[0058] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
