[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a bill thickness measuring unit 100, the bill thickness measuring unit 100 includes a thickness measuring body 110, a thickness measuring shaft 120, a thickness measuring unit 130 and a plurality of thickness measuring members 140;

[0033] The thickness measuring body 110 is provided with a ticket passage for bills to pass through; the thickness measuring shaft 120 is rotatably connected to the thickness measuring body 110; a plurality of thickness measuring members 140 are connected to the thickness measuring shaft 120 and are sequentially arranged along the rotation axis direction of the thickness measuring shaft 120, and each thickness measuring member 140 is provided with a roller 141, and the roller 141 is used to roll the bills in the ticket passage below it;

[0034] The thickness measuring unit 130 includes multiple sensor modules 131 and multiple trigger components 132. The multiple sensor modules 131 correspond to the multiple trigger components 132 one by one. The multiple sensor modules 131 are all connected to the thickness measuring body 110. Each trigger component 132 is correspondingly connected to a thickness measuring component 140, and each sensor module 131 is used to sense the corresponding trigger component 132.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1The working principle of the bill thickness measuring unit 100 is:

[0036] The bill thickness measuring unit 100 includes a thickness measuring body 110, a thickness measuring shaft 120, a thickness measuring unit 130 and a plurality of thickness measuring members 140; the thickness measuring body 110 is provided with a bill passing passage for bills to pass through;

[0037] Therefore, when the bill passes through the bill passage, it will pass through at least part of the thickness measuring members 140 therein, and since each thickness measuring member 140 is provided with a roller 141, when the bill passes through the thickness measuring member 140, as the roller 141 rotates, the corresponding thickness measuring member 140 will rotate relative to the thickness measuring body 110 around the thickness measuring rotating shaft 120, and then during the rotation of the thickness measuring member 140, the trigger member 132 connected to the thickness measuring member 140 can be driven to move relative to its corresponding sensor module 131, and then during the movement of the trigger member 132, the sensor module 131 can sense the movement of the trigger member 132, thereby completing the corresponding thickness measurement;

[0038] In this process, through the above-mentioned structural setting, the thickness measuring piece 140 corresponding to the bill can complete the relevant thickness measurement work, thereby reducing the number of active structures and then knowing the corresponding width range of the bill. At the same time, when the corresponding thickness measuring piece 140 moves, the remaining structures are relatively static, thereby reducing structural losses, thereby simplifying the structure while reducing its operating losses and its failure rate.

[0039] For further information, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment, it can be known from the above content that this embodiment adopts the method of setting the ticket passage below the thickness measuring piece 140, the purpose of which is to enable the thickness measuring piece 140 to maintain the tendency to move toward the ticket passage under the action of gravity. In addition, on this basis, the bill thickness measuring unit 100 also includes an elastic piece 150, which is connected to the thickness measuring body 110 and is used to make all the thickness measuring pieces 140 have the tendency to move toward the bill in the ticket passage. When configuring the elastic piece 150, the elastic piece 150 includes a main sheet 151 and a plurality of extension pieces 152, the main sheet 151 is connected to the thickness measuring body 110, and the plurality of extension pieces 152 are all connected to the main sheet 151, and each extension piece 152 is correspondingly abutted against the upper end of a thickness measuring piece 140. Such an arrangement enables the elastic member 150 to form a corresponding resistance to the upward movement of the thickness measuring member 140, while in its normal state, no force is applied to it. Such an arrangement can reduce the action time of the elastic member 150, and further reduce the deformation time of the elastic member 150 during use, thereby reducing damage to the elastic member 150 and extending the service life of the elastic member 150. Moreover, such an arrangement of the elastic member 150, compared with other similar coil spring-type elastic members 150, has a small structural volume, which can reduce the space volume occupied by it and is conducive to space optimization inside the structure.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a limiting portion 101 is provided inside the thickness measuring body 110, and the limiting portion 101 is used to abut against the thickness measuring piece 140 to limit the rotation of the thickness measuring piece 140; wherein the limiting portion 101 is located above the elastic piece 150. Such a setting is intended to limit the maximum stroke of the thickness measurement to prevent damage to other internal structures due to exceeding its thickness measurement range. Moreover, when configuring the limiting portion 101, it can be a movable and adjustable protrusion disposed above the thickness measuring piece 140, and its purpose is to be able to adjust its maximum thickness measurement stroke through the movement of the protrusion.

[0041] For further information, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, in order to improve the efficiency of thickness measurement, the bill thickness measuring unit 100 also includes a rotating main shaft 102 rotatably arranged in the ticket passing channel; the elastic member 150 is used to make all the thickness measuring members 140 have a tendency to rotate toward the rotating main shaft 102; wherein, the bill in the ticket passing channel passes between the rotating main shaft 102 and the roller 141 of the thickness measuring member 140.

[0042] When installing the thickness measuring unit 130, the present embodiment adopts a method in which the thickness measuring unit 130 includes a plurality of sensor modules 131 and a plurality of triggering members 132. When each triggering member 132 is installed to the corresponding thickness measuring member 140, in order to facilitate the installation of the triggering member 132, each thickness measuring member 140 is provided with a mounting slot for mounting the triggering member 132, and the mounting slot is located at one end of the thickness measuring member 140 away from the ticket passing channel. Moreover, the triggering member 132 includes a magnetic member. In addition, on this basis, the sensor module 131 includes two Hall sensors 133 arranged at intervals along the moving direction of the bill in the ticket passing channel; it can be known from the foregoing that the thickness measuring member 140 used in the present embodiment drives the triggering member 132 to rotate around its rotation axis to perform the corresponding thickness measurement work. Based on this, when installing the Hall sensors 133, the two Hall sensors 133 can be arranged at intervals around the rotation axis of the thickness measuring shaft 120, and then the triggering member 132 can be easily sensed through the corresponding sensing setting.

[0043] In addition, in this embodiment, in order to process foreign matter on the roller 141 to ensure the accuracy of thickness measurement, the bill thickness measuring unit 100 also includes a plurality of scrapers 103 and a plurality of scraper frames 104; each scraper 103 is connected to a scraper frame 104, and each scraper frame 104 is connected to a thickness measuring piece 140, and each scraper 103 is used to scrape off foreign matter on the roller 141 of the corresponding thickness measuring piece 140.

[0044] Based on the above content, the utility model also provides a bill processing device, which includes the above-mentioned bill thickness measuring unit 100. The bill processing device can reduce structural loss by adopting the above-mentioned bill thickness measuring unit 100, thereby being able to reduce its operating loss and its failure rate while simplifying the structure.

[0045] 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 be subject to 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.
