Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of item storage technology, specifically relating to an intelligent ATM box with a position detection mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] ATM boxes are boxes designed to prevent robbery, theft, and vandalism, and are used to store and transport cash, precious metals, and other valuables. Electronic anti-theft locks are locks that electronically identify and process relevant information and control the actuator to open and close, achieving a specified security level.
[0003] Traditional ATM boxes mostly use mechanical padlocks, which have a lock bar on the outside of the box, allowing for easy manual opening. Smart ATM boxes, on the other hand, typically have an electronic anti-theft lock installed inside the box, without an external lock bar. There is no significant relative displacement between the lid and the bottom of the box before and after the electronic lock is opened.
[0004] Therefore, it is difficult to determine from the appearance whether some ATM boxes are open after they are locked by electric lock. It is usually not possible to directly observe whether the components of the locking mechanism are accurately linked, which can easily lead to false locks or ineffective locks. If related problems occur, it is difficult for operators to intervene and correct them in a timely and effective manner. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides an intelligent ATM box with a position detection mechanism, which solves the problem that it is difficult to determine from the appearance whether the ATM box is open after the electric lock is locked, and the accurate linkage of the various components of its locking mechanism is usually not directly observable, which can easily lead to false locks and ineffective locks.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0013] Locking switch; all electrically operated telescopic structures are connected to a locking switch, which is used to issue an action command to the electrically operated telescopic structure.
[0014] Preferably, the smart ATM also includes at least one fixing seat, which has an L-shaped structure. One side of the fixing seat is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the lid, and the other side of the fixing seat is fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the lid. The first end of a locking beam is fixedly connected to a fixing seat.
[0015] Preferably, an electrically telescopic structure includes:
[0016] Mounting base; The mounting base is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the base box. The mounting base is provided with a first groove pointing to the fixing hole. The end of the first groove pointing to the fixing hole is an open end.

[0047] Example 2
[0048] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, as Figure 2 As shown, the smart ATM also includes two fixing seats 5, which are L-shaped. One side of the fixing seat 5 is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the cover 2, and the other side of the fixing seat 5 is fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the cover 2.

[0049] In this embodiment, in order to increase the contact area between the locking beam 4 and the box cover 2 and reduce the risk of falling under external force, a fixing seat 5 is provided. The fixing seat 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box cover 2, and the locking beam 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall, thereby increasing the contact area between the locking beam 4 and the box cover 2.
[0050] Example 3
[0051] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, an electrically telescopic structure includes:
[0052] Mounting base 6; Mounting base 6 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the base box 1. Mounting base 6 is provided with a first groove 14 pointing to the fixing hole 12. The end of the first groove 14 pointing to the fixing hole 12 is an open end.
[0053] Motor 7; Motor 7 is fixedly mounted on mounting base 6, and a gear sleeve 8 is fitted on the shaft of motor 7;
[0054] Locking pin 13; Locking pin 13 is set in the first groove 14. The side of locking pin 13 facing the opening of the first groove 14 is provided with a rack of a preset length. The end of the rack facing the locking beam is the first end, and the other end is the second end. The rack meshes with the toothed sleeve 8.
[0055] In this embodiment, when the motor 7 rotates in the forward direction, it drives the gear sleeve 8 to rotate, and at the same time drives the locking pin 13 that meshes with the gear sleeve 8 to move. When one end of the locking pin 13 is inserted into the fixing hole 12, the gear sleeve 8 moves to the second end of the rack. When the motor 7 rotates in the reverse direction, one end of the locking pin 13 is removed from the fixing hole 12, and the gear sleeve 8 moves to the first end of the rack.
[0056] Example 4
[0057] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 3 is that, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a position detection mechanism includes:
[0058] The second groove 18 is provided on the inner wall of the first groove 14. The locking pin 13 and the second groove 18 are provided with a first groove and a second groove 19 on their opposite surfaces. The first groove is close to the locking beam 4.
[0059] Mainboard chip 11; The main control chip is located in the bottom box 1. The mainboard chip adopts the N32WB452 series MCU of National Technology Co., Ltd.
[0060] Micro switch A15;

Each of micro switches A15, B16, and C17 has an elastic end. When the elastic end of any micro switch passes through the second groove 18 and presses against the locking pin 13, the micro switch outputs a conduction signal. When the elastic end of any micro switch falls into the first or second recess 19, the micro switch outputs a disconnection signal. Under the limitation of the rack length, when the locking pin 13 slides in the first groove 14... When in motion, micro switch C17 can only fall into the second recess 19, micro switch A15 can only fall into the first recess, and micro switch B16 can fall into either the second recess 19 or the first recess. When micro switch A15 outputs an open signal and the toothed sleeve 8 moves to the second end of the rack, the main board chip 11 outputs an accurate locking signal to the signal visualization module. When micro switch C17 outputs an open signal and the toothed sleeve 8 moves to the first end of the rack, the main board chip 11 outputs a fully released signal to the signal visualization module. When micro switch C17 changes from an open signal to a closed signal, if micro switch B16 then falls into the first recess and outputs an open signal, the main board chip 11 outputs a signal indicating that it is in the initial position to the signal visualization module.
[0063] In this embodiment, by combining the disconnection and conduction signals of microswitches A15, B16, and C17, the current position of the locking pin 13 can be accurately determined. Furthermore, the microswitches A15, B16, and C17 in this application are positioned based on the displacement information of the locking pin 13, resulting in extremely high accuracy. The mainboard chip 11 can comprehensively determine the opening and closing of the ATM box and whether the electronic lock is locked by combining the disconnection and conduction signals, making it convenient for operators to confirm the current status of the ATM box and avoiding false locks or mis-locks.

[0070] Example 8
