Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of banknote detectors, and in particular relates to a banknote detector capable of verifying multiple banknotes. Background Art

[0002] A currency detector is a machine with a counterfeit currency identification function that can identify counterfeit banknotes. With the advancement of counterfeiting technology, currency detectors have become one of the indispensable machines for units with large cash flow, such as banks and shopping malls. Existing currency detectors usually include an upper shell, a lower shell, a banknote twisting assembly, and a banknote verification assembly. The upper shell and the lower shell cooperate to form a banknote passage, which includes a banknote inlet and a banknote outlet. In order to facilitate the removal of banknotes when they are stuck and to facilitate repair, the upper shell and the lower shell are usually rotatably connected.

[0003] The existing currency detectors have the following problems: (1) The size and anti-counterfeiting marks of existing banknotes vary from country to country, and most of the existing domestic currency detectors are designed for RMB and can only verify RMB. They cannot be used in situations where banknotes from other countries are used, and their use occasions are limited. (2) Existing currency detectors generally use detection lights and magnetic heads to check the anti-counterfeiting marks on banknotes, and the accuracy of currency verification is not high. (3) The connection between the upper shell and the lower shell of the existing currency detector is usually set at the banknote outlet. When the existing currency detector solves the problem of banknote jamming, the connection position of the upper shell and the lower shell makes it easy for banknotes to be clamped at the connection between the upper shell and the lower shell, and there will also be cleaning dead corners when cleaning the banknote passage. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a banknote detector which has higher accuracy than the prior art, is convenient for handling the problem of banknote jamming, and can verify banknotes of multiple countries.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a banknote detector that can verify multiple banknotes, including an upper shell, a lower shell, a banknote twisting assembly and a banknote verification assembly, one side of the upper shell is hinged to the lower shell, the upper shell cover is arranged on the lower shell, a banknote feeding channel is arranged between the upper shell and the lower shell, the banknote feeding channel includes a banknote inlet and a banknote outlet that are relatively arranged, the connection between the upper shell and the lower shell is located at the side wall of the banknote feeding channel, the banknote verification assembly includes a start detection unit, a magnetic detector, an IR detection unit and a UV detection unit, and the start detection unit, the magnetic detector, the IR detection unit and the UV detection unit are all arranged in the banknote feeding channel.

[0006] With the above solution, during use, the upper housing is covered on the lower housing. After the banknote enters the banknote passing channel, it is detected by the banknote verification component, and then the banknote can be verified. The multiple sensors of the banknote verification component are used in combination, which can verify banknotes from different countries and has higher adaptability. The structure of the utility model is simple. When problems such as banknote jamming occur, the upper housing can be turned over and opened to expose the entire banknote passing channel, which is convenient for dealing with banknote jamming problems.

[0015] With the above solution, the transparent cover has a dust-proof effect, and does not affect the normal use of the UV sensor, the upper IR sensor and the lower IR sensor. At the same time, it can make the banknote conveying channel smoother and facilitate the movement of banknotes in the banknote conveying channel.

[0016] As a further arrangement of the present utility model, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the lower housing is provided inside the lower housing. A notch for fixing the rotating shaft to the upper housing is provided on the surface of the lower housing facing the upper housing. The notch is provided on the side of the banknote conveying channel.
