Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of article storage, and in particular relates to an intelligent cash withdrawal box with an operation panel. Background Art

[0002] Cash drawers are designed to protect against robbery, theft, and vandalism, and are used to store and transport valuables such as cash and precious metals. Electronic anti-theft locks electronically identify and process relevant information, controlling the actuator to open and close the lock, achieving a specified security level.

[0003] Traditional ATMs mostly use mechanical padlocks, with the locks prominently located on the outside of the box, making it easy to visually identify whether the lock is locked and eliminating the worry of a low battery. Smart ATMs, on the other hand, typically have electronic anti-theft locks installed inside the box. This lock's opening and closing cannot be visually detected from the outside, and there is no noticeable relative movement between the lid and base during this process. Furthermore, a low remaining battery level in the lock can severely impact the functionality and performance of smart ATMs. Therefore, externally monitoring the remaining battery level is another challenge that smart ATMs need to address.

[0004] Existing cash withdrawal boxes are not provided with an operation panel, so that the operator cannot quickly query the electric lock status and power status of the cash withdrawal box from the outside, which will reduce the accuracy of judging the status of the cash withdrawal box and the efficiency of confirmation.

The operator only needs to observe the audio-visual signal emitted by the audio-visual prompt module to complete the confirmation of the cash withdrawal box status. The present application can quickly query the electric lock status and power supply status of the cash withdrawal box from the outside, thereby improving the efficiency of confirming the cash withdrawal box status.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that Figure 1 As shown, the electric lock includes:

[0045] Lock beam 3; the lock beam 3 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the box cover 1, and a fixing hole is provided on the lock beam 3;

[0046] Lock body 4; the lock body 4 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the bottom box 2, and the mainboard chip is arranged in the lock body 4. The mainboard chip adopts the N32WB452 series MCU of National Technology Co., Ltd. The mainboard chip is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the bottom box 2. An electric lock pin is also provided in the lock body 4. The electric lock pin is provided with a telescopic end. The electric lock pin is connected to the mainboard chip. When the box cover 1 is buckled on the bottom box 2 and the locking switch sends a locking action instruction to the mainboard chip, the mainboard chip controls the telescopic end of the electric lock pin to insert into the fixed hole to lock the box cover 1 and the bottom box 2. When the locking switch sends an unlocking action instruction to the mainboard chip, the mainboard chip controls the telescopic end of the electric lock pin to withdraw from the fixed hole to unlock the box cover 1 and the bottom box 2.

[0047] Example 3

[0048] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the locking switch is a wireless control switch.

[0049] Example 4

[0050] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a USB interface 8 is also provided on the panel housing 5, and the USB interface 8 is connected to the circuit board. The USB interface 8 is used to provide an access port for external power supply and charging of the electric lock. The USB interface is also used to provide an access port for wired communication and control between the mainboard chip and an external handheld smart device or computer.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the electric lock needs to be externally powered, charged, opened with an emergency electronic key, or other direct connection operations are required on the electric lock, a USB connector of the corresponding model can be inserted into the USB interface 8.

[0052] Example 5

[0053] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the panel housing 5 is made of plastic.

[0054] Example 6

[0055] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the sound and light prompt module includes:

[0056] Two indicator lights 7; the indicator lights 7 are arranged on the panel housing 5, and the indicator lights 7 are connected to the circuit board. The two indicator lights 7 are arranged side by side, and two polycarbonate surface stickers printed with the words "electric lock" and "power" are correspondingly affixed on the panel housing 5 next to the two indicator lights 7;

[0057] Buzzer; The buzzer is set in the panel housing 5 and is connected to the circuit board. When the check button 9 is pressed, the main board chip outputs a light control signal reflecting the electric lock status to one indicator light 7 through the circuit board, and outputs a light control signal reflecting the power status to another indicator light 7. At the same time, the main board chip outputs a sound control signal to the buzzer through the circuit board in a preset manner according to the electric lock status and the power status.

[0058] In this embodiment, after manually pressing the "check" button, the mainboard chip obtains the status information of the electric lock, that is, whether the most recent control switch action instruction to the mainboard chip is locked or unlocked, and obtains the status information of the power supply, that is, the remaining power of the power supply. If the status information of the electric lock indicates that the electric lock is in a locked state, the mainboard chip outputs a green light control signal to the indicator light 7 at the "electric lock" through the circuit board; otherwise, it outputs a light control signal of red or other colors. When the residual voltage of the power supply is lower than 85% of the rated voltage, the mainboard chip outputs a red light control signal to the indicator light 7 at the "power" through the circuit board; otherwise, it outputs a green light control signal. Each time the "check" button is pressed, the display time of the indicator light 7 remains sufficient for the operator to identify and judge, and then goes out. At the same time, when the status information of the electric lock obtained by the mainboard chip indicates that the electric lock is in an unlocked state, or the residual voltage of the power supply is lower than 85% of the rated voltage, it will also output a sound control signal to the buzzer through the circuit board.

[0059] Example 7

[0060] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 6 is that the indicator light 7 adopts an LED lamp.

[0061] In this embodiment, the LED lamp has high luminous efficiency, low power, low energy consumption, and consumes very little electrical energy. Moreover, under appropriate current and voltage, the LED lamp has an extremely long service life and is more durable than other types of lamps.

[0062] Example 8

[0063] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that Figure 1 As shown, a handle 6 is provided on each of the three outer sides of the bottom box 2. The handle 6 can facilitate operators to lift and carry the cash withdrawal box.

[0064] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
