Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of financial equipment technology, and in particular relates to a coin dispensing device and financial processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development and social progress, coins, as an important form of currency, are seeing an increasing circulation. However, the widespread use of coins has also brought a series of problems, one of which is the handling of coin collection and change. Traditional coin processing methods are mostly manual, which is not only inefficient but also prone to errors, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern society for efficiency and accuracy in coin handling. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this application proposes a coin dispensing device and financial processing equipment capable of recovering financial media and providing change, meeting various financial processing needs, and effectively improving the efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility of financial media processing.

[0004] Firstly, this application provides a coin dispensing device, comprising:

[0005] The mounting base forms a first opening and a second opening;

[0006] A connector is disposed on the mounting base, and the connector and the mounting base together form a placement cavity with a discharge port, the placement cavity being used to accommodate financial media;

[0007] A coin dispensing device is movably disposed within the placement cavity to drive the financial medium within the placement cavity out of the discharge port;

[0008] A deflector is provided to form a deflector channel communicating with the outlet. The deflector is movably disposed on the mounting base so that the deflector channel communicates with one of the first opening and the second opening.

[0009] According to the coin dispensing device of this application, the placement cavity receives and temporarily stores financial media through the discharge port for subsequent change dispensing operations. Based on the working signal issued by the controller, when change is needed, the deflection channel and the first opening are connected, and the financial media passes through the placement cavity sequentially via the coin-dispensing component, through the discharge port, the deflection channel, the first opening, and the change dispensing port; when financial media needs to be stored, the deflection channel and the second opening are connected, and the financial media passes through the placement cavity sequentially via the coin-dispensing component, through the discharge port, the deflection channel, and the second opening, and then enters the storage box. Ensuring that financial media can be accurately transferred from the first coin port to the change dispensing port or the storage box not only improves the transmission efficiency and reliability of the coin dispensing device, but also simplifies the structure of the coin dispensing device and reduces manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0010] According to one embodiment of this application, the coin-operated component forms a through hole, and the coin-operated component is rotatably disposed on the mounting base so that the through hole is adapted to communicate with the outlet, and the axis of the through hole is parallel to the rotation axis of the coin-operated component.

[0011] According to one embodiment of this application, the outlet is located at the bottom of the placement cavity, and the coin-dispensing component also forms a notch communicating with the through hole. The notch is located at the bottom of the coin-dispensing component, and the orientation of the outlet intersects the axis of the through hole.

[0012] According to one embodiment of this application, the through hole includes:

[0013] The first sub-segment, the inner edge of which mates with the outer wall of the financial medium;

[0014] The second sub-segment is connected to the first sub-segment and is located on the side of the first sub-segment away from the outlet. The aperture of the second sub-segment gradually decreases in the direction close to the first sub-segment.

[0015] According to one embodiment of this application, the cross-sectional area of ​​the placement cavity near the coin dispenser is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the placement cavity away from the coin dispenser.

[0016] According to one embodiment of this application, the distance between the two oppositely disposed sides of the placement cavity remains monotonically constant along the direction close to the coin dispenser.

[0017] According to one embodiment of this application, the placement cavity further has a discharge inlet, and the connector forms a check channel communicating with the discharge inlet, the check channel being located within the placement cavity; wherein,

[0018] The cross-sectional area of ​​the check channel away from the discharge inlet is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the check channel near the discharge inlet; and / or

[0019] The check channel is inclined from the direction away from the discharge inlet towards the direction closer to the discharge outlet.

[0020] According to one embodiment of this application, the bottom surface of the reversing channel is an arc surface, and the arc surface protrudes in a direction away from the housing.

[0021] According to one embodiment of this application, the deflector, the outlet, the first opening, and the second opening are located on the same side of the connector.

[0022] Secondly, this application provides a financial processing device, which includes the coin dispensing device as described above.

[0023] The financial processing equipment according to this application can complete the recycling and change-making of financial media, meet various financial processing needs, and effectively improve the efficiency, accuracy and flexibility of financial media processing.

[0072] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0073] The following is for reference. Figures 1-14 The financial processing device provided in this application embodiment includes a housing 100, a sorting device 200, a storage box 300, and a plurality of coin dispensing devices 400.

[0074] The outer casing 100 forms a receiving cavity, which has an input port 111 and a change port 112 communicating with the outside. A sorting device 200 is disposed within the receiving cavity and has a first inlet and multiple coin slots 2111. The first inlet is used to directly receive multiple financial instruments 900 output from the input port 111, and the change port 112 is connected to one of the coin slots 2111. A storage box 300 is disposed within the receiving cavity for storing the financial instruments 900. Multiple coin dispensing devices 400 are disposed within the receiving cavity and correspond one-to-one with the remaining coin slots 2111. Each coin dispensing device 400 receives the financial instruments 900 sequentially output from its corresponding coin slot 2111 and transfers the financial instruments 900 to either the change port 112 or the storage box 300. The types of financial instruments 900 in each coin dispensing device 400 are different.

[0075] It should be noted that the shape and size of the receiving cavity, the insertion port 111, the change port 112, the first inlet, and the coin dispensing port 2111 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this. Similarly, the number of coin dispensing ports 2111 and the arrangement of the coin dispensing ports 2111 and the coin dispensing port can be designed according to actual needs.

[0076] For ease of understanding, such as Figure 5 As shown, the coin dispensing slot 2111 corresponding to the coin dispensing device 400 is defined as the first coin dispensing slot 2112, and the coin dispensing slot 2111 directly connected to the change dispensing slot 112 is defined as the second coin dispensing slot 2113. For example, in this embodiment, the sorting device 200 has eight first coin dispensing slots 2112.

[0077] It should be noted that financial medium 900 includes, but is not limited to, circulating coins, commemorative coins, or collectible coins.

[0078] Understandably, when the financial medium 900 enters the receiving cavity through the input port 111, the sorting device 200 receives the financial medium 900 through the first inlet and processes it in an orderly manner, then outputs it to different first coin dispensing ports 2112 to ensure that different types of financial mediums 900 (such as denominations or materials) can be accurately sorted. If no change is needed, the corresponding coin dispensing device 400 receives the financial medium 900 and temporarily stores it for subsequent change dispensing according to actual needs, or transfers the financial medium 900 to the storage box 300 for storage; if change is needed, the corresponding coin dispensing device 400 transfers the temporarily stored financial medium 900 to the change dispensing port 112 in sequence according to the financial medium 900 required for change dispensing, thus completing the automated change dispensing process. If an unexpected situation occurs during the sorting process of the financial medium 900 (such as the financial medium 900 failing to be output to the corresponding first coin slot 2112 in a timely and accurate manner), the financial medium 900 can be directly returned to the change slot 112 through the second coin slot 2113 for subsequent processing or recycling, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the financial medium 900 processing.

[0079] The financial processing equipment provided in the embodiments of this application can not only complete the counting, classification and storage of financial media 900, but also directly perform change operations, meet a variety of financial processing needs, and effectively improve the efficiency, accuracy and flexibility of processing financial media 900.

[0080] In some embodiments, the financial processing equipment further includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the clearing device 200 and the coin dispensing device 400 respectively, for controlling the start and stop of the clearing device 200 and the coin dispensing device 400, so as to coordinate the operating sequence and logical relationship between the clearing device 200 and the coin dispensing device 400, and ensure that the processing tasks of various financial media 900 can be completed efficiently and accurately to meet the different needs of users.

[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 7As shown, the sorting device 200 includes a housing 210, a coin-splitting structure, multiple first reversing members 230, and a transmission structure. The housing 210 forms multiple transfer channels 211, each having an input port and a coin-splitting port 2111. The coin-splitting structure is disposed in the housing 210 and has a first inlet and a first outlet 22111, used to sequentially output multiple financial instruments 900 received from the first inlet through the first outlet 22111. The first reversing members 230 are movably disposed in the housing 210 between a first position and a second position. The first reversing members 230 and the transfer channels 211 correspond one-to-one to form a first transmission channel. In the first position, the first reversing members 230 are used to cover the input port and support the financial instruments 900. In the second position, the first reversing members 230 are used to open the input port. The transmission structure is disposed in the housing 210 and is used at least to drive the financial instruments 900 output from the first outlet 22111 along the transmission direction in the first transmission channel.

[0082] It should be noted that the controller is electrically connected to the coin sorting structure, the first commutator 230 and the transmission structure respectively, so as to realize the start and stop of the sorting device 200.

[0083] Understandably, multiple financial media 900 pass through the input port 111 and the first inlet before being output from the first outlet 22111. The coin distribution structure receives the financial media 900 entering from the input port 111 through the first inlet and processes them so that the first outlet 22111 can output a single financial media 900 in sequence. Since multiple first switching elements 230 are distributed sequentially along the transmission direction, if it is necessary to temporarily store the financial media 900 through the current transfer channel 211 to the change port 112 or the corresponding coin dispensing device 400, the target first switching element 230 is in the second position, and each first switching element 230 located upstream of the target first switching element 230 along the transmission direction is in the first position. This allows the transmission structure to drive the financial media 900 to first pass through the first transmission channel formed by the upstream first switching elements 230 in sequence, and then through the open input port through the corresponding transfer channel 211 before entering the change port 112 or the corresponding coin dispensing device 400.

[0084] It should be noted that, as Figure 5 As shown, one of the multiple transfer channels 211 has an input port and a second coin port 2113, while the other transfer channels 211 have an input port and a first coin port 2112.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the coin-splitting structure includes a first hopper 221 and a coin-splitting component 222. The first hopper 221 is disposed in the housing 210, forming a receiving cavity 2211 with a first inlet and a first outlet 22111. The coin-splitting component 222 has a positioning hole 2221, the inner edge of which is at least partially adapted to abut against the outer wall of the financial medium 900. The coin-splitting component 222 is movably disposed in the receiving cavity 2211 to selectively communicate with the positioning hole 2221 and the first outlet 22111.

[0086] Understandably, multiple financial instruments 900 enter the receiving cavity 2211 after passing through the input port 111. Subsequently, the controller controls the coin-splitting component 222 to selectively connect the positioning hole 2221 with the first outlet 22111, thereby enabling a single financial instrument 900 to be output sequentially from the first outlet 22111. This achieves the initial orderly processing of the financial instruments 900 and improves the operating efficiency and accuracy of the coin-splitting structure.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the coin-distributing structure also includes a first driving member 223. The fixed end of the first driving member 223 is disposed in the housing 210, and the output end of the first driving member 223 extends into the first hopper 221 and is connected to the coin-distributing member 222. This output end drives the coin-distributing member 222 to rotate, thereby achieving selective communication between the positioning hole 2221 and the first outlet 22111 during the rotation of the coin-distributing member 222. Exemplarily, the first driving member 223 may include, but is not limited to, a rotary motor. Of course, in other embodiments, the output end of the first driving member 223 may also drive the coin-distributing member 222 to move, thereby achieving selective communication between the positioning hole 2221 and the first outlet 22111 during the movement of the coin-distributing member 222. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, multiple positioning holes 2221 are provided, and these multiple positioning holes 2221 are distributed circumferentially at intervals, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the coin-separating financial medium 900. It should be noted that the number and specific distribution of the positioning holes 2221 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0089] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the rotation axis of the coin-splitting component 222 and the axis of the positioning hole 2221 are both parallel to the second horizontal direction. The coin-splitting component 222 is always in close contact with the inner wall of the receiving cavity 2211, so as to make full use of the gravity of the financial medium 900 itself and improve the efficiency and reliability of coin splitting.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the positioning hole 2221 includes a first hole section and a second hole section. The hole depth of the first hole section is no greater than the thickness of the financial medium 900. The second hole section is connected to the first hole section and is located on the side of the first hole section away from the first outlet 22111. The hole diameter of the second hole section gradually decreases along the direction closer to the first hole section.

[0091] Understandably, the financial medium 900 passes through the second and first aperture sections sequentially before entering the first outlet 22111. On one hand, the depth of the first aperture section is no less than the thickness of the financial medium 900. If multiple financial media 900s overlap, the one closest to the first outlet 22111 can continue moving in the positioning hole 2221, while the remaining financial media 900s, lacking sufficient support at their outer edges, will slide back to the bottom of the receiving cavity 2211. This reduces the possibility of multiple financial media 900s entering the first outlet 22111 simultaneously, lowering the risk of jamming and blockage. On the other hand, the aperture of the second aperture section gradually decreases towards the first aperture section, making it conical or trumpet-shaped. This helps guide the financial medium 900 smoothly into the first aperture section and also facilitates the sliding of the remaining financial media 900s to the bottom of the receiving cavity 2211, improving coin sorting efficiency.

[0092] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the side of the receiving cavity 2211 away from the coin divider 222 has a guide surface 22110, which is inclined from top to bottom towards the side closer to the coin divider 222. The inclination angle and size of the guide surface 22110 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on it.

[0093] It is understandable that the guide surface 22110 is inclined from top to bottom toward the side closer to the coin-splitting component 222, that is, the vertical distance between the guide surface 22110 and the coin-splitting component 222 gradually decreases from top to bottom. This can help guide the financial medium 900 to enter the positioning hole 2221 more smoothly by utilizing the weight of the financial medium 900 itself, thereby improving the coin-splitting efficiency, reducing mechanical wear, and simplifying the overall structure.

[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the upper end of the storage cavity 2211 is open to form a first inlet, and the first outlet 22111 is opened on the side wall of the storage cavity 2211 and close to the upper end of the storage cavity 2211.

[0095] Understandably, the first inlet is located at the upper end of the receiving cavity 2211, facilitating the smooth entry of the financial medium 900 into the receiving cavity 2211 and reducing resistance during the dispensing process. Simultaneously, the first outlet 22111 is located on the side wall of the receiving cavity 2211 away from the guide surface 22110 and close to the upper end of the receiving cavity 2211. This reduces the risk of two or more financial media 900s simultaneously entering the first outlet 22111, fully utilizes the gravity of the financial medium 900, improves coin dispensing efficiency, reduces the risk of jamming and blockage, simplifies the coin dispensing structure, and improves the reliability and lifespan of the coin dispensing structure.

[0096] In some embodiments, the orientation of the first outlet 22111 is parallel to the second horizontal direction, and the orientation of the first inlet and the orientation of the first outlet 22111 are set at an angle, that is, the top edge of the guide surface 22110 is lower than the top edge of the side of the receiving cavity 2211 away from the guide surface 22110, so as to increase the size of the first inlet and reduce the risk of jamming and blockage.

[0097] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the coin-distribution structure also includes a baffle 224, which is rotatably disposed on the first hopper 221 between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the baffle 224 opens the first outlet 22111 and covers at least part of the first inlet. In the second state, the baffle 224 opens the first inlet and covers the first outlet 22111.

[0098] Understandably, when the financial medium 900 becomes blocked in the receiving cavity 2211, the baffle 224 can be in a second state to allow observation of the interior of the receiving cavity 2211 through the first inlet and to handle the situation accordingly. This reduces interference with components outside the first hopper 221 and lowers the risk of foreign objects or the financial medium 900 being discharged through the first outlet 22111 during observation. When the coin sorting unit 222 rotates and sorts the financial medium 900, the baffle 224 is in a first state. By covering the portion where the projections of the first inlet and the first outlet 22111 overlap in the vertical direction, the baffle restricts the output path of the financial medium 900 in the receiving cavity 2211, ensuring that only one financial medium 900 can be discharged through the first outlet 22111 at a time, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of coin sorting.

[0099] In addition, when multiple financial media 900 stick together and cannot slide off, the baffle 224 can also block the financial media 900 located outside the positioning hole 2221 in the second state, thereby separating the financial media 900 and improving the efficiency of coin sorting.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, a first elastic element is provided between the baffle 224 and the first hopper 221. The first elastic element is used to switch the baffle 224 from the second state to the first state, thereby increasing the flexibility and maintenance convenience of the coin-distribution structure. The first elastic element includes, but is not limited to, a torsion spring. Of course, in other embodiments, other structures can also be used to switch the baffle 224 between the first state and the second state, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0101] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first hopper 221 also forms a maintenance channel 2212. The first opening of the maintenance channel 2212 is connected to the change-finding port 112, and the second opening of the maintenance channel 2212 is connected to the receiving cavity 2211. The size of the second opening of the maintenance channel 2212 is adjustable so that when there is too much financial medium 900 in the receiving cavity 2211, the excess financial medium 900 can be directly discharged to the change-finding port 112 by making the second opening larger.

[0102] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the second opening of the maintenance channel 2212 is located at the bottom of the receiving cavity 2211. The coin-distributing structure also includes a second driving member 225. The fixed end of the second driving member 225 is disposed in the housing 210, and the driving end of the second driving member 225 is connected to the mounting plate of the first hopper 221, for driving the mounting plate to move closer to or away from the coin-distributing component 222. The side of the mounting plate away from the second driving member 225 forms a guide surface 22110, thereby realizing the adjustable size of the second opening of the maintenance channel 2212. The second driving member 225 includes, but is not limited to, a servo motor. Of course, in other embodiments, other structures can also be used to realize the adjustable size of the second opening of the maintenance channel 2212, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0103] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first reversing member 230 includes a main body 231 and an extension 232. The main body 231 is rotatably disposed on the housing 210 and forms a through groove 2311. The first transmission channel includes the through groove 2311. The extension 232 is connected to the downstream end of the main body 231 in the transmission direction and has an arc surface 2321. The center of curvature of the arc surface 2321 is close to the through groove 2311. In the first position, the inner wall of the through groove 2311 is adapted to at least partially engage with the outer wall of the financial medium 900. In the second position, the arc surface 2321 is adapted to abut against the outer wall of the financial medium 900 to restrict the movement of the financial medium 900 in the transmission direction.

[0104] For example, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, multiple first commutator members 230 are spaced apart along the first horizontal direction, the rotation axis of the main body 231 is parallel to the first horizontal direction, and the first horizontal direction intersects with the second horizontal direction.

[0105] It is understood that the upper part of the main body 231 is provided with a through groove 2311, and when the first reversing member 230 is in the first position, the through groove 2311 penetrates the main body 231 along the transmission direction. This not only facilitates the financial medium 900 to fall directly from the first outlet 22111 into the through groove 2311, but also facilitates the smooth movement of the financial medium 900 on the through groove 2311 under the drive of the transmission structure. When the financial medium 900 approaches the target first reversing member 230, the target first reversing member 230 switches to the second position, and the financial medium 900 continues to move under the drive of the transmission structure until the outer wall of the financial medium 900 and the arc surface 2321 abut and cooperate, thereby ensuring that the financial medium 900 can only enter the required input port.

[0106] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the main body 231 is inclined from top to bottom toward the housing 210. That is, while the outer wall of the financial medium 900 and the arc surface 2321 abut, one of the outer end faces of the financial medium 900 and the side of the main body 231 near the housing 210 are in contact, thus playing a guiding role so that the financial medium 900 can slide into the transfer channel 211.

[0107] For example, the controller can use electromagnetic switching to switch the first commutator 230 between the first position and the second position. Of course, in other embodiments, other methods can also be used to switch the first commutator 230 between the first position and the second position. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0108] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the transmission structure includes a transmission component 241 and a plurality of spaced-apart positioning components 242. The transmission component 241 is movably disposed on the housing 210, and the transmission component 241 and the transfer channel 211 are located on both sides of the housing 210. One end of the positioning component 242 is disposed on the transmission component 241, and the other end extends toward the housing 210. The positioning component 242 is adapted to abut against the financial medium 900. The transmission component 241 includes, but is not limited to, an annular conveyor belt or an annular conveyor chain. Exemplarily, the cross-sectional shape of the positioning component 242 is circular to facilitate rolling contact with the financial medium 900 and reduce friction. It should be noted that the shape and number of the positioning components 242 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0109] Understandably, the fixed end of the third driving component of the transmission structure is located on the housing 210. The transmission component 241 is wound around a plurality of synchronous pulleys 243 circumferentially arranged on the housing 210. The driving end of the third driving component is connected to at least one of the synchronous pulleys 243, and is used to drive the synchronous pulleys 243 to rotate around a rotation axis parallel to the second horizontal direction based on the controller's working instructions, thereby driving the transmission component 241 to move. Simultaneously, since a plurality of positioning components 242 are spaced apart on the transmission component 241, and one end of each positioning component 242 extends outside the transmission component 241 to provide a contact point with the financial medium 900, it ensures that the financial medium 900 can smoothly enter the designated coin slot 2111. This reduces the offset and jamming of the financial medium 900 during transmission.

[0110] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the transmission component 241 is ring-shaped to form a receiving space. A portion of the multiple first transmission channels are spaced apart along the first horizontal direction at the upper part of the receiving space, and another portion of the multiple first reversing components 230 are spaced apart along the first horizontal direction at the lower part of the receiving space. The first hopper 221 is located within the receiving space, thereby making the entire sorting device 200 structure more compact.

[0111] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the housing 210 also forms a return channel 212 with a second inlet and a second outlet, and the zero-finding port 112 is connected to the second outlet; the sorting device 200 also includes an identification module 250 and a second reversing member 260. The identification module 250 is disposed in the housing 210 and forms a first transition channel, which is connected to the first outlet 22111; the second reversing member 260 is movably disposed in the housing 210 between a third position and a fourth position. The second reversing member 260 forms a second transition channel connected to the first transition channel, wherein the second reversing member 260 is used to cover the second inlet in the third position and to open the second inlet in the fourth position.

[0112] Understandably, when the financial medium 900 moves from the first outlet 22111 into the first transition channel and then into the second transition channel, the identification module 250 classifies the financial medium 900 (e.g., identifying the denomination, material, or authenticity of the financial medium 900). When it is determined that the financial medium 900 does not require a coin refund, the second reversing component 260 is in the third position, allowing the financial medium 900 in the second transition channel to approach the first reversing component 230 under the drive of the transmission component 241. Simultaneously, the classification result of the financial medium 900 is sent to the controller, which controls the corresponding first reversing component 230 to switch to the second position so that the financial medium 900 can be output from the corresponding coin dispensing port 2111. When it is determined that the financial medium 900 requires a coin refund, the second reversing component 260 switches to the fourth position, allowing the financial medium 900 in the second transition channel to directly enter the return channel 212 through the second inlet, so that the coin can be directly returned to the change dispensing port 112.

[0113] For example, the controller can use electromagnetic switching to switch the second commutator 260 between the third and fourth positions. Of course, in other embodiments, other methods can also be used to switch the second commutator 260 between the third and fourth positions. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0114] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the maintenance channel 2212, the transfer channel 211, and the return channel 212 are all located on the side of the housing 210 away from the transmission component 241, which can more effectively optimize the transmission path of the financial medium 900, reduce interference between components, and ensure that the clearing device 200 has a compact structure while improving the stability and reliability of the clearing device 200.

[0115] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first transition channel is inclined downwards in the direction away from the first outlet 22111, so that after the financial medium 900 exits from the first outlet 22111 and enters the first transition channel, it can slide naturally towards the second transition channel by its own gravity. This ensures that the financial medium 900 can fit tightly against the side of the second transition channel closest to the housing 210, thereby guaranteeing the stability of the financial medium 900's posture and improving recognition accuracy and reception rate. It should be noted that the inclination angle and size of the first transition channel can be designed according to actual needs; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0116] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the second transition channel slopes downwards in a direction away from the first outlet 22111 to fully utilize the weight of the financial medium 900 itself, allowing the financial medium 900 to slide more smoothly during transmission and improving transmission efficiency. It should be noted that the tilt angle and size of the second transition channel can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0117] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the housing 210 also forms a second transmission channel 213, which is adapted to communicate with the first transmission channel; the clearing device 200 also includes a mating member 270 and a pressing member 280. The mating member 270 is disposed on the housing 210 and near the first outlet 22111. At least one of the housing 210 and the mating member 270 is adapted to contact and engage with the financial medium 900; the pressing member 280 is movably disposed on the mating member 270 between a fifth position and a sixth position. In the fifth position, the pressing member 280 is adapted to abut against the side wall of the financial medium 900 away from the second transmission channel 213, and in the sixth position, the pressing member 280 is disengaged from the financial medium 900.

[0118] It is understood that the first transition channel, the second transition channel, and the second transmission channel 213 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. By positioning the mating member 270 in the second transmission channel 213 and between the second transition channel and the downstream first reversing member 230 along the transmission direction, the end face of the financial medium 900 output from the second transition channel will always be in contact with at least one of the mating member 270 and the housing 210 before entering the second transmission channel 213, providing necessary support and guidance. In addition, when the financial medium 900 enters the second transmission channel 213 from the guide space formed between the mating member 270 and the housing 210, the upper opening of the second transmission channel 213 allows the pressing member 280 to abut against the outer wall of the financial medium 900 outside the second transmission channel 213, thereby reducing the possibility of the financial medium being ejected from the second transmission channel 213 due to reaction force, and ensuring that the financial medium 900 moves close to the first reversing member 230 under the action of the positioning member 242.

[0119] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, a second elastic element 290 is provided between the pressing member 280 and the mating member 270. The second elastic element 290 is used to switch the pressing member 280 from the fifth position to the sixth position, thereby increasing the flexibility and maintenance convenience of the sorting structure. The second elastic element 290 includes, but is not limited to, a torsion spring. Of course, in other embodiments, other structures can also be used to switch the pressing member 280 between the fifth and sixth positions, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0120] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the housing 210 is tilted from top to bottom toward the direction of the transmission component 241 to increase the contact area between the financial medium 900 and the coin sorting component 222, the first transition channel, the second transition channel, the first transmission channel and the second transmission channel 213 during the movement, so as to ensure sorting efficiency and reliability.

[0121] In some embodiments, such as Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the coin dispensing device 400 includes a mounting base 410, a connector 420, a coin-dispensing component 430, and a deflector 440. The mounting base 410 forms a first opening 411 and a second opening 412 that are respectively connected to the change slot 112 and the storage box 300. The connector 420 is disposed on the mounting base 410, and the connector 420 and the mounting base 410 together form a placement cavity 401. The placement cavity 401 has a discharge inlet 4011 and a discharge outlet. The placement cavity 401 contains financial medium 900 from the corresponding coin slot 2111 through the discharge inlet 4011. The coin-dispensing component 430 is movably disposed in the placement cavity 401 to drive the financial medium 900 in the placement cavity 401 to be discharged from the discharge outlet. The deflector 440 forms a deflection channel 441 that is connected to the discharge outlet. The deflector 440 is movably disposed on the mounting base 410 so that the deflection channel 441 is connected to one of the first opening 411 and the second opening 412.

[0122] Understandably, the placement cavity 401 receives and temporarily stores the financial medium 900 through the discharge port 4011 for subsequent change-giving operations. Based on the working signal issued by the controller, when change is needed, the deflection channel 441 and the first opening 411 are connected, and the financial medium 900 passes through the placement cavity 401 sequentially through the discharge port, the deflection channel 441, the first opening 411, and the change-giving port 112 via the coin-dispensing device 430; when the financial medium 900 needs to be stored, the deflection channel 441 and the second opening 412 are connected, and the financial medium 900 passes through the placement cavity 401 sequentially through the discharge port, the deflection channel 441, and the second opening 412 via the coin-dispensing device 430 before entering the storage box 300. Ensuring that the financial medium 900 can be accurately transmitted from the first coin port 2112 to the change-giving port 112 or the storage box 300 not only improves the transmission efficiency and reliability of the coin dispensing device 400, but also simplifies the structure of the coin dispensing device 400 and reduces manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0123] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the coin-operated component 430 forms a through hole 431. The coin-operated component 430 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 410 so that the through hole 431 is suitable for communicating with the outlet. The axis of the through hole 431 is parallel to the rotation axis of the coin-operated component 430.

[0124] Understandably, the controller controls the coin dispensing component 430 to selectively connect the through hole 431 and the first outlet 22111, thereby enabling the sequential output of individual financial media 900 from the outlet. This achieves orderly processing of the dispensing of financial media 900, improves the operating efficiency and accuracy of the coin dispensing device 400, and reduces the risk of jamming and blockage.

[0125] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the coin dispensing device 400 also includes a fourth driving member 450. The fixed end of the fourth driving member 450 is disposed on the mounting base 410, and the output end of the fourth driving member 450 extends into the placement cavity 401 and is connected to the coin dispensing member 430, for driving the coin dispensing member 430 to rotate, so as to achieve selective communication between the through hole 431 and the discharge port of the coin dispensing member 430 during rotation. Exemplarily, the fourth driving member 450 includes, but is not limited to, a rotary motor. Of course, in other embodiments, the output end of the fourth driving member 450 may also drive the coin dispensing member 430 to move, so as to achieve selective communication between the through hole 431 and the discharge port of the coin dispensing member 430 during movement. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0126] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, multiple through holes 431 are provided, and the multiple through holes 431 are distributed circumferentially at intervals, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the coin dispensing device 400 in sequentially dispensing financial media 900. It should be noted that the number and specific distribution of through holes 431 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0127] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the outlet is located at the bottom of the placement cavity 401. The coin-operated component 430 also forms a notch 432 that communicates with the through hole 431. The notch 432 is located at the bottom of the coin-operated component 430, and the orientation of the outlet intersects with the axis of the through hole 431.

[0128] Understandably, during the rotation of the coin dispenser 430, the financial medium 900 passes sequentially through the through hole 431, the notch 432, and the outlet. The axis of the through hole 431 is parallel to the rotation axis of the coin dispenser 430 to ensure that the financial medium 900 can smoothly pass through the coin dispenser 430 and be placed on the inner bottom surface of the placement cavity 401. Subsequently, it enters the outlet more smoothly through the notch 432, which is connected to the through hole 431. In addition, the orientation of the outlet intersects with the axis of the through hole 431, making the entire coin dispensing structure more compact while optimizing the discharge path of the financial medium 900.

[0129] Similarly, multiple gaps 432 are also provided, and the multiple gaps 432 are distributed circumferentially to improve the processing efficiency of the coin dispensing device 400 in sequentially dispensing financial medium 900. It should be noted that the number and specific distribution of gaps 432 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0130] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the outlet is oriented parallel to the second horizontal direction, and the rotation axis of the coin dispenser 430 and the axis of the through hole 431 are both parallel to the vertical direction, so that the coin dispenser 430 is always tightly fitted to the inner bottom wall of the placement cavity 401, so as to make full use of the gravity of the financial medium 900 itself and improve the coin dispensing efficiency and reliability.

[0131] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the through hole 431 includes a first sub-segment and a second sub-segment. The inner edge of the first sub-segment mates with the outer wall of the financial medium 900. The second sub-segment is connected to the first sub-segment and is located on the side of the first sub-segment away from the outlet. The aperture of the second sub-segment gradually decreases in the direction close to the first sub-segment.

[0132] Understandably, the financial medium 900 passes through the second segment and the first segment before entering the gap 432. On one hand, the inner edge of the first segment mates with the outer wall of the financial medium 900, ensuring that only financial mediums 900 conforming to the classification rules can be discharged from the outlet through the through hole 431, thus ensuring the accuracy of change dispensing and storage. On the other hand, the aperture of the second segment gradually decreases towards the first segment, making the second segment conical or trumpet-shaped, which helps guide the financial medium 900 smoothly into the first segment and also facilitates the sliding of other financial mediums 900 into the first segment, improving the efficiency of coin dispensing.

[0133] In some embodiments, such as Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the placement cavity 401 near the coin dispenser 430 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the placement cavity 401 away from the coin dispenser 430.

[0134] It is understandable that both the outlet and the coin dispenser 430 are located at the bottom of the placement cavity 401, meaning that at least part of the cross-sectional area of ​​the placement cavity 401 gradually decreases from top to bottom. This helps guide the financial medium 900 to slide smoothly into the outlet, reducing the resistance and jamming risk of the financial medium 900 during transmission.

[0135] In some embodiments, such as Figures 9 to 11 As shown, along the direction close to the coin dispenser 430, the distance between the two opposite sides of the placement cavity 401 remains monotonically constant.

[0136] It is understood that the cross-sectional area of ​​the placement cavity 401 can be changed by altering the distance between its two oppositely positioned sides. For example, as shown... Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the distance between the two opposite sides of the placement cavity 401 arranged along the first horizontal direction remains constant from top to bottom, while the distance between the two opposite sides of the placement cavity 401 arranged along the second horizontal direction gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0137] In this embodiment, as Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the outlet is oriented parallel to the second horizontal direction, and the distance between the two sides of the placement cavity 401 arranged opposite each other along the second horizontal direction gradually decreases to further improve the coin dispensing efficiency.

[0138] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the connector 420 forms a check channel 4211 communicating with the discharge inlet 4011, and the check channel 4211 is located within the placement cavity 401; wherein,

[0139] The cross-sectional area of ​​the check channel 4211 furthest from the discharge inlet 4011 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the check channel 4211 closest to the discharge inlet 4011; and / or

[0140] The check channel 4211 is inclined from the direction away from the discharge inlet 4011 toward the direction closer to the discharge outlet.

[0141] Understandably, with the inlet 4011 facing upwards, the financial medium 900 first passes through the check channel 4211 from the inlet 4011 and then enters the through-hole 431 under its own gravity. On the one hand, the cross-sectional area of ​​the check channel 4211 away from the inlet 4011 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the check channel 4211 near the inlet 4011. That is, at least part of the cross-sectional area of ​​the check channel 4211 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The gradually narrowing check channel 4211 structure not only helps guide the financial medium 900 to slide smoothly to the outlet, but also reduces the resistance and jamming of the financial medium 900 during transmission. The risk of the financial medium 900 falling into different positions on the coin dispensing device 430 is reduced. It also reduces the risk of the financial medium 900 in the placement cavity 401 being poured out through the check channel 4211 when the coin dispensing device 400 is taken out of the housing 210. On the other hand, the check channel 4211 is inclined from the direction away from the discharge inlet 4011 to the direction closer to the discharge outlet. This not only helps to narrow the discharge path of the financial medium 900 and reduce the resistance and jamming risk of the financial medium 900 during the transmission process, but also increases the possibility of unidirectional flow of the financial medium 900 and improves the transmission efficiency and reliability of the coin dispensing device 400.

[0142] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the connector 420 includes a cover plate 421 and a frame 422. The frame 422 is a hollow structure with open ends. The frame 422 is located between the cover plate 421 and the mounting base 410. The cover plate 421, the frame 422 and the mounting base 410 together form a placement cavity 401.

[0143] It should be noted that the discharge inlet 4011 is located on the cover plate 421, and the cover plate 421 forms a check channel 4211.

[0144] It is understandable that the cover plate 421, the frame 422, and the mounting base 410 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The cover plate 421 is located at the upper opening of the frame 422, and the frame 422 is located at the lower opening of the frame 422. This not only improves the transmission efficiency and reliability of the coin dispensing device 400, but also simplifies the overall structure of the coin dispensing device 400 and reduces manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0145] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the deflection channel 441 is an arc surface, which protrudes in a direction away from the housing 210. It should be noted that the size and radius of curvature of the arc surface can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0146] Understandably, using the curved bottom surface of the deflection channel 441 helps guide the financial medium 900 output from the outlet to slide more smoothly within the deflection channel 441, allowing the financial medium 900 to change direction more smoothly to enter the first opening 411 or the second opening 412, reducing the resistance and jamming risk of the financial medium 900 during transmission, thereby improving transmission efficiency.

[0147] In some embodiments, such as Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the deflector 440, the outlet, the first opening 411 and the second opening 412 are located on the same side of the connector 420.

[0148] It is understandable that the outlet is oriented parallel to the second horizontal direction, that is, the deflector 440, the first opening 411 and the second opening 412 are all located outside the side of the connector 420 along the second horizontal direction, so as to shorten the output path of the financial medium 900 as much as possible, and also facilitate the maintenance of the coin dispensing device 400 and the internal layout of the entire financial processing equipment.

[0149] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 10As shown, the financial processing equipment also includes multiple first coin dropping components 510. Each first coin dropping component 510 is disposed within the receiving cavity and corresponds one-to-one with the transfer channel 211. The first coin dropping components 510 form a first coin dropping channel. One of the first coin dropping channels has two ports connected to the second coin dispensing port 2113 and the change dispensing port 112, respectively. The other first coin dropping channels have two ports connected to the first distribution port and the discharge port 4011, respectively. This guides the output path of the financial medium 900, improves the reliability and accuracy of the financial processing equipment, and facilitates the layout within the receiving cavity.

[0150] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first coin drop channel away from the coin slot 2111 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first coin drop channel near the coin slot 2111.

[0151] Understandably, the cross-sectional area of ​​at least part of the first coin drop channel gradually decreases in the direction away from the coin outlet, which helps guide the financial medium 900 to slide smoothly to the discharge port 4011 or the change port 112, reducing the risk of resistance, jamming and accumulation during the transmission process.

[0152] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the financial processing equipment also includes an assembly 610, on which at least some of the plurality of coin dispensing devices 400 are sequentially disposed, and the assembly 610 is movably disposed on the housing 210 along the arrangement direction of the plurality of coin dispensing devices 400.

[0153] Understandably, the fitting 610 is used to fix and arrange multiple coin dispensing devices 400, ensuring the stability and orderliness of the multiple coin dispensing devices 400 placed in the receiving cavity, and also facilitating the direct extraction of the coin dispensing devices 400 from the receiving cavity using the fitting 610, thereby improving the convenience of maintenance and inspection.

[0154] Exemplarily, one of the inner walls of the assembly 610 and the receiving cavity is provided with a slide rail 620, which extends along a first horizontal direction, and the other of the inner walls of the assembly 610 and the receiving cavity is provided with a slider that slides in cooperation with the slide rail 620. Of course, in other embodiments, other structures can also be used to achieve relative movement between the assembly 610 and the housing 210, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0155] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, two assemblies 610 are provided, spaced apart in the vertical direction, and each assembly 610 is provided with multiple coin dispensing devices 400 arranged sequentially in the first horizontal direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the number and specific distribution of the assemblies 610 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0156] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the financial processing equipment also includes a second coin dispenser 520, which is disposed within the receiving cavity and forms a second coin dispensing channel. The second coin dispensing channel is connected to the first opening 411 of at least one coin dispensing device 400. This guides the path of the financial medium 900 to the change dispenser 112, improving the reliability and accuracy of the financial processing equipment and facilitating the layout within the receiving cavity.

[0157] For example, two second coin dropping components 520 are spaced apart along a first horizontal direction, that is, a second coin dropping channel is connected to the first opening 411 of the two coin dispensing devices 400 of the upper assembly 610.

[0158] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second coin drop channel near the first opening 411 is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second coin drop channel away from the first opening 411.

[0159] Understandably, the cross-sectional area of ​​at least part of the second coin drop channel gradually decreases in the direction away from the first opening 411, which helps guide the financial medium 900 to slide smoothly to the change slot 112, reducing the risk of resistance, jamming and accumulation during transmission.

[0160] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, the financial processing equipment also includes a third coin dropping component 530, which is disposed within the receiving cavity and forms a third coin dropping channel. The third coin dropping channel is connected to the storage box 300 and the second opening 412 of at least one coin dispensing device 400. This guides the path of the financial medium 900 to the storage box 300, improving the reliability and accuracy of the financial processing equipment and facilitating the layout within the receiving cavity.

[0161] For example, two third coin dropping components 530 are spaced apart along a first horizontal direction, that is, a third coin dropping channel is connected to the second opening 412 of the two coin dispensing devices 400 of the upper assembly 610.

[0162] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​the third coin drop channel near the second opening 412 is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the third coin drop channel away from the second opening 412.

[0163] Understandably, the cross-sectional area of ​​at least part of the third coin drop channel gradually decreases in the direction away from the second opening 412, which helps guide the financial medium 900 to slide smoothly into the storage box 300, reducing the risk of resistance, jamming and accumulation during the transmission process.

[0164] In some embodiments, at least one of the first coin dropper 510, the second coin dropper 520, and the third coin dropper 530 is provided with an observation hole to facilitate timely handling and maintenance in case of blockage of the financial medium 900.

[0165] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the financial processing equipment also includes an output device 700, which is disposed within the receiving cavity and forms an output channel. The output channel is connected to the first opening 411 and the change slot 112 of the coin dispensing device 400. Specifically, the output channel receives the financial medium 900 output from the first opening 411 and transfers it to the change slot 112, thereby further optimizing the output path of the financial medium 900 and improving the transmission efficiency and reliability of the financial processing equipment.

[0166] It should be noted that, based on the layout within the receiving cavity, the first opening 411 of the upper coin dispensing device 400 is connected to the output channel via the second coin dropping channel, while the first opening 411 of the lower coin dispensing device 400 is directly connected to the output channel.

[0167] In some embodiments, such as Figure 14 As shown, the output channel includes a first sub-channel 7011 and a second sub-channel 7012. The first sub-channel 7011 extends along a first horizontal direction and its upper end is open for receiving the financial medium 900 output from the first opening 411. The lower end of the second sub-channel 7012 is connected to one end of the first sub-channel 7011, and the upper end of the second sub-channel 7012 is connected to the change port 112. The length of the second sub-channel 7012 along the first horizontal direction is D, which satisfies the following condition: d≤D≤2d, where d is the thickness of the financial medium 900.

[0168] Understandably, the upper end of the first sub-channel 7011 is open and extends along the first horizontal direction to receive the financial medium 900 output from the first opening 411 located above. The financial medium 900 then enters the second sub-channel 7012, which extends vertically, to approach the change-finding port 112. That is, the output channel is L-shaped, meaning the financial medium 900 changes from a flat position to an upright or tilted position. Simultaneously, by ensuring that the length of the second sub-channel 7012 along the first horizontal direction satisfies d≤D≤2d, it is ensured that multiple financial media 900s can be sequentially output through the second sub-channel 7012 to the change-finding port 112, thus improving the orderly output of the financial medium 900 at the change-finding port 112.

[0169] In some embodiments, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the output device 700 includes a mounting frame 710, a cover 720, and a conveyor belt 730. The mounting frame 710 is disposed in a first receiving cavity to form a mounting groove. The cover 720 is at least partially disposed in the portion of the mounting frame 710 extending in the vertical direction. The conveyor belt 730 is movably disposed on the mounting frame 710. A portion of the conveyor belt 730 and a portion of the inner wall of the mounting groove form a first sub-channel 7011. A portion of the conveyor belt 730, the cover 720, and a portion of the inner wall of the mounting groove form a second sub-channel 7012.

[0170] It is understood that the fixed end of the fifth drive member of the output device 700 is provided on the mounting frame 710, the conveyor belt 730 is wrapped around the multiple conveyor wheels provided on the mounting frame 710, and the drive end of the fifth drive member is connected to at least one of the multiple conveyor wheels. It is used to drive the conveyor wheels to rotate around a rotation axis parallel to the second horizontal direction based on the working command of the controller, thereby driving the conveyor belt 730 to move, thereby realizing the transfer of the financial medium 900 from the first opening 411 to the change opening 112.

[0171] In some embodiments, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the inner wall of the output channel includes a contact surface. A portion of the contact surface forms the bottom wall of the first sub-channel 7011, and another portion of the contact surface forms the inner wall of the second sub-channel 7012 away from the first sub-channel 7011. Multiple limiting members 740 are protruding from the contact surface at intervals.

[0172] The vertical distance between the contact surface and the side of the limiting member 740 away from the contact surface is L, where d≤L<D.

[0173] It is understandable that the conveyor belt 730 forms a contact surface, and multiple limiting members 740 are spaced apart on the conveyor belt 730. When the financial medium 900 moves to the second sub-channel 7012, the lower end of the financial medium 900 can abut against the limiting member 740 under the action of gravity, so as to smoothly drive the financial medium 900 upward until it enters the zero-finding port 112, which can reduce the offset and jamming of the financial medium 900 during the transmission process.

[0174] In some embodiments, such as Figure 14 As shown, the output channel also includes a third sub-channel 7013, which is smoothly connected to the first sub-channel 7011 and the second sub-channel 7012. The cross-sectional area of ​​the third sub-channel 7013 near the second sub-channel 7012 is smaller than that far from the first sub-channel 7011, which facilitates the falling of stacked financial media 900 from the connection between the second sub-channel 7012 and the third sub-channel 7013, reduces the risk of financial media 900 piling up, and re-transports them to the second sub-channel 7012 to ensure that the financial media 900 can be output to the change port 112 in an orderly manner.

[0175] It should be noted that the inner wall of the third sub-channel 7013 is partially formed by the cover 720 to reduce the possibility of the financial medium 900 falling out of the output channel when it drops from the connection between the second sub-channel 7012 and the third sub-channel 7013. It should also be noted that the shape and size of the cover 720 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0176] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the financial processing equipment also includes a recycling bin 810 and a support plate 820. The recycling bin 810 is disposed within the receiving cavity and forms a recycling chamber; the support plate 820 is movably disposed on the outer casing 100 so that the recycling chamber and the change-finding port 112 can be selectively connected. It should be noted that the size and shape of the recycling chamber can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0177] Understandably, if the financial medium 900 at the change slot 112 is not taken away for a certain period of time, the support plate 820 is moved relative to the housing 210 to connect the change slot 112 and the recycling chamber, so as to recycle the financial medium 900 left at the change slot 112 for subsequent counting and processing.

[0178] In some embodiments, the financial processing device further includes a sixth driving member, the fixed end of which is disposed in the housing 100, and the driving end of which is connected to one end of the support plate 820, for driving the support plate 820 to rotate, so as to selectively connect the recycling chamber and the zero-finding port 112.

[0179] Exemplarily, when the support plate 820 is laid flat, it covers the opening of the recovery chamber and serves to support the financial medium 900 at the change slot 112; when the end of the support plate 820 away from the sixth drive member is tilted into the recovery chamber, the opening of the recovery chamber is at least partially opened, and the financial medium 900 on the support plate 820 slides into the recovery chamber based on the guiding effect of the tilt of the support plate 820. Exemplarily, the sixth drive member includes, but is not limited to, a self-locking screw drive to improve the supporting force of the support plate 820 in supporting the financial medium 900.

[0180] In some embodiments, the self-locking screw is also equipped with a handwheel so that the rotation angle of the support plate 820 can be manually adjusted in case of abnormality, which facilitates daily maintenance.

[0181] In some embodiments, the self-locking screw is also provided with a torque limiter to limit the rotational force of the support plate 820, reduce the possibility of pinching fingers, and improve the safety and reliability of the financial processing equipment.

[0182] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the input port 111, sorting device 200, coin dispensing device 400 and storage box 300 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom to make full use of the internal space of the receiving cavity and reduce the footprint of the financial processing equipment.

[0183] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the output device 700 and the coin dispensing device 400 are arranged sequentially along the second horizontal direction to make full use of the internal space of the receiving cavity and reduce the footprint of the financial processing equipment.

[0184] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the orientation of the input port 111 and the orientation of the change port 112 intersect. That is, the input port 111 and the change port 112 are located on different sides of the housing 210, which helps to optimize the overall layout of the financial processing equipment, conforms to the user's usage habits, and improves the convenience of operation and the operating efficiency of the financial processing equipment.

[0185] In some embodiments, the financial processing equipment further includes a position sensor, which is at least disposed in channels (including but not limited to transfer channel 211, first transmission channel, maintenance channel 2212, first transition channel, second transition channel, return channel 212, second transmission channel 213, reversing channel 441, first coin dropping channel, second coin dropping channel and third coin dropping channel) to detect the quantity and position of the financial medium 900 in real time and improve the reliability of the financial processing equipment.
