[0030] Specifically, in order to realize the automatic banknote dispensing process, the conveying module, the access module 1, the electric control module and the structural module 2 are matched, the access module 1 is used for extracting banknotes stored therein according to needs and quantities, and dispensing the banknotes to the conveying module, the conveying module is used for further conveying the banknotes to the banknote outlet 6 for extraction, and the functions of the electric control module include:

[0031] 1. The conveying module and the access module 1 are electrically connected, so that the selection and conveying of the banknotes are realized.

[0032] 2. The denomination of the banknotes needed for dispensing is calculated, and if exchange rate conversion is involved, the conversion result is calculated.

[0033] According to the embodiment, a person only needs to place banknotes of the same denomination in the banknote storage mechanism, and then the machine automatically dispenses the banknotes according to the required denomination, and the person can take the banknotes from the banknote outlet 6, so that the whole dispensing process is fully automated, manual intervention is not needed, and manual errors are avoided.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the embodiment, the spatial shape of the banknote storage mechanism is matched with the denomination of the banknotes stored therein.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of the embodiment, the number of the access module 1 is six, wherein the banknote storage mechanisms of the single access module 1 are respectively used for storing one of six denominations of banknotes, i.e., 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 20 yuan, 50 yuan and 100 yuan. Specifically, the spatial shape of the banknote storage mechanism is matched with the denomination of the banknotes stored therein, which means that the banknote storage mechanism can adjust its containing volume according to the denomination of the banknotes needed to be stored.

[0036] The size of each denomination of RMB is as follows: 100 yuan, 15.6 cm long, 7.6 cm wide; 50 yuan, 15.0 cm long, 7.0 cm wide; 20 yuan, 14.5 cm long, 7.0 cm wide; 10 yuan, 14.0 cm long, 7.0 cm wide; 5 yuan, 13.5 cm long, 6.3 cm wide; 1 yuan, 13.0 cm long, 6.2 cm wide. For example, when the target of dispensing is RMB, based on the principle that the size of banknotes of different denominations is different, the preferred mode adopts a banknote storage mechanism that can adjust its width according to the denomination of the banknotes to be stored. Since there are six denominations of RMB, six storage and retrieval modules 1 are preferably provided for storing 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 20 yuan, 50 yuan and 100 yuan banknotes, respectively. When 100 yuan banknotes are stored, the width of the banknote storage mechanism is adjusted to 15.6 cm, and the thickness is matched with the number of paper banknotes. A spring block can be provided to press the paper banknotes tightly, and the two ends of the banknotes are clamped to limit the banknotes and prevent the banknotes from being arranged irregularly, which can cause jamming when the banknotes are retrieved, and improve the dispensing efficiency. Those skilled in the art can obtain technical inspiration for setting the space of the banknote storage mechanism for the remaining denominations of RMB and foreign currencies according to this example. Preferably, the banknote storage mechanism is two separate plate bodies, and the space width of the banknote storage mechanism is defined by adjusting the relative distance between the plate bodies.

[0038] Specifically, in order to optimize and reduce the floor space of the automatic banknote dispensing system, the conveying belt is divided into a first conveying belt located above, a turnover belt 5 for turning the banknotes conveyed by the first conveying belt by 180°, and a second conveying belt located below. The second conveying belt is provided to reduce the length of the conveying belt by half to save space and prevent the machine from being too large. The space between the second conveying belt and the first conveying belt can accommodate more devices.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the banknote storage mechanism comprises a first arc surface, a second arc surface and a banknote passing channel, the banknote passing channel is a strip-shaped semi-open space formed by the first arc surface and the second arc surface. Preferably, the bottom of the banknote passing channel has a downward curvature; and the bottom arc surface of the banknote passing channel smoothly connects the first conveying belt.

[0040] Specifically, in order to ensure smooth conveying of banknotes during dispensing, the banknotes are clamped by the first arc surface and the second arc surface to achieve smooth transition of the angle of the banknotes, and the banknotes are conveyed from the inclined banknote storage mechanism to the horizontal first conveying belt through the arc-shaped semi-open space, and the banknotes are limited to prevent falling out of the predetermined track.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the automatic banknote dispensing system further includes a counterfeit detection module 4, which is located on the side of the second conveyor belt near the banknote passage. The counterfeit detection module 4 includes a high-speed RMB counterfeit detection system.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the counterfeit detection module 4 further includes a cash return port 10, which is located at the end of the second conveyor belt.

When the banknotes pass through the counterfeit detection module 4, the counterfeit detection module 4 uses a dedicated high-speed RMB counterfeit detection system, which can identify counterfeit banknotes during the rapid movement of the banknotes. If no counterfeit banknotes are detected, the banknote outlet 6 opens, and the banknotes fall out sequentially from the banknote outlet 6 without passing through the banknote return outlet 10, thus achieving banknote matching. If counterfeit banknotes are detected, the counterfeit detection module 4 sets a delay, and when the counterfeit banknotes pass through the banknote outlet 6, the banknote outlet 6 closes, and the counterfeit banknotes fall through the banknote return outlet 10. After banknote matching, the banknotes are taken out through the banknote outlet 6.
