Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of banknote conveying technology, and in particular to a banknote pushing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of packaging and processing banknotes, it is usually necessary to perform operations such as bundling, stacking, and binding. Bundling refers to tying a certain number of banknotes together with straps, and the bundled banknotes are called banknote bundles; stacking refers to neatly stacking a certain number of banknote bundles together, and the stacked banknote bundles are called banknote stacks; and binding is to tie the stacked banknote stacks together with packaging film or straps.

[0003] Currently, operations such as bundling, stacking, and binding banknotes are all completed using banknote packaging equipment. This equipment typically requires a conveying mechanism to transport and transfer the banknote bundles and stacks. Additionally, some banknote conveying systems also utilize conveying mechanisms to transport and transfer banknote bundles and stacks.

[0004] Some existing conveying mechanisms employ clamping mechanisms, which use grippers to hold banknote bundles or stacks, and then move the grippers to convey and transfer the banknote bundles or stacks. However, the overall structure of existing clamping mechanisms is relatively complex, and they require a large installation space.

[0040] This utility model provides a banknote pushing mechanism, which includes a linear drive module and a banknote pushing module. The banknote pushing module is disposed at the moving end of the linear drive module. The banknote pushing module includes a rotation drive unit, a transmission unit, a rotating rod, and a banknote pushing plate. The transmission unit is connected to the rotation drive unit and the rotating rod respectively, and is used to transmit the power output by the rotation drive unit to the rotating rod to drive the rotating rod to rotate. The banknote pushing plate is disposed on the rotating rod and is used to push banknotes. When the banknote pushing mechanism is running, the linear drive module drives the banknote pushing module to move, thereby synchronously driving the banknote pushing plate to move. The end face of the banknote pushing plate abuts against the banknote, thereby pushing the banknote to the required position, thus realizing the conveying and transfer of banknotes. The banknote pushing mechanism has a simple overall structure, good operational reliability, and a compact overall layout, requiring less installation space. In addition, the banknote pushing module uses the rotation drive unit to drive the rotating rod to rotate, thereby synchronously driving the banknote pushing plate to rotate. This allows adjustment of the position of the banknote pushing plate. When the banknote pushing plate resets after pushing the banknotes, the position of the banknote pushing plate can be adjusted by rotation to avoid obstacles and meet the requirements of continuous operation of the equipment.

[0041] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, a banknote pushing mechanism 100 is provided for pushing and transferring banknotes (which may be banknote bundles or stacks). Specifically, in one embodiment, the banknote pushing mechanism 100 is used in banknote packaging equipment or banknote conveying equipment.

[0042] The banknote pushing mechanism 100 includes a linear drive module 10 and a banknote pushing module 20, with the banknote pushing module 20 disposed at the moving end of the linear drive module 10. The linear drive module 10 refers to a drive module capable of driving components to move linearly, and the banknote pushing module 20, being disposed at the moving end of the linear drive module 10, allows the linear drive module 10 to drive the banknote pushing module 20 to move linearly as a whole.

[0043] The banknote pushing module 20 includes a rotation drive unit 21, a transmission unit 22, a rotating rod 23, and a banknote pushing plate 24. The transmission unit 22 is connected to both the rotation drive unit 21 and the rotating rod 23, and transmits the power output from the rotation drive unit 21 to the rotating rod 23 to drive it to rotate. The banknote pushing plate 24 is mounted on the rotating rod 23 and is used to push banknotes.

[0044] When the banknote pushing mechanism 100 is running, the position of the banknote pushing plate 24 is initially located in the area where the banknote is situated (e.g., as shown in the image). Figure 1(As shown in the diagram of the position of the banknote pusher plate 24), the linear drive module 10 drives the banknote pusher module 20 to move as a whole, so that the banknote pusher plate 24 will correspondingly abut against the banknote, thereby pushing the banknote and realizing the conveying and transfer of the banknote; after the pushing is completed, the linear drive module 10 drives the banknote pusher module 20 to reset, and at the same time (or before the reset), the rotation drive unit 21 drives the rotation rod 23 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the banknote pusher plate 24 and rotating and moving the banknote pusher plate 24 out of the subsequent position area of ​​the banknote (for example, as shown in the diagram). Figure 1 The banknote pusher plate 24 shown is rotated outward by 90°, so that when the linear drive module 10 drives the banknote pusher module 20 to reset, the banknote pusher plate 24 can avoid the banknotes that need to be transported later, and will not affect the subsequent banknotes during the reset process.

[0045] Understandably, in existing technologies, clamping mechanisms are typically used to hold banknotes, thereby enabling the transfer of banknotes. However, the overall structure of clamping mechanisms is relatively complex, and they require a large amount of installation space (for example, when using a clamping mechanism, it is necessary to occupy the side installation space for the installation of supports, slides, and other structures). In some devices with limited installation space, such structures cannot be installed normally.

[0046] The banknote pushing mechanism 100 provided in this embodiment has a simple overall structure. When conveying and transferring banknotes, it pushes them through the banknote pushing plate 24, eliminating the need for a clamping structure. This makes the overall structure simpler and the operation more reliable. Furthermore, its compact structure requires less space, allowing it to be used in equipment with limited installation space. Additionally, the banknote pushing module 20 includes a rotation drive unit 21. This unit drives the rotating rod 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the banknote pushing plate 24 to rotate. This allows the plate to avoid obstructing subsequent banknotes during the reset process, enabling continuous banknote feeding and meeting the requirements for continuous equipment operation, thus improving production efficiency.

[0047] Preferably, in one embodiment, the banknote pushing module 20 further includes a mounting base 25, which is disposed at the moving end of the linear drive module 10. The transmission unit 22 is slidably disposed on the mounting base 25, and the rotating rod 23 is rotatably disposed on the mounting base 25. That is, in this embodiment, the banknote pushing module 20 uses the mounting base 25 to provide overall support for the transmission unit 22 and the rotating rod 23.

[0048] Preferably, in one embodiment, two rotating rods 23 are provided, spaced apart, and each rotating rod 23 is respectively provided with a banknote pushing plate 24. The two rotating rods 23 are divided into a first rotating rod 231 and a second rotating rod 232. That is, in this embodiment, two banknote pushing plates 24 are provided, and when pushing the banknote, the two banknote pushing plates 24 can push synchronously, thereby pushing the banknote more stably and avoiding the banknote from deflecting during the pushing process. The transmission unit 22 includes a first slider 221 and a second slider 222. The first slider 221 is connected to the first rotating rod 231, and the second slider 222 is connected to the second rotating rod 232. The output end of the rotation drive unit 21 is connected to the first slider 221 and the second slider 222 respectively, to drive the first slider 221 and the second slider 222 to slide, thereby driving the first rotating rod 231 and the second rotating rod 232 to rotate. In other words, in this embodiment, the rotation drive unit 21 drives the first slider 221 and the second slider 222 to slide, thereby driving the first rotating rod 231 and the second rotating rod 232 to rotate, which in turn drives the two banknote pushers 24 to rotate, so as to achieve the two banknote pushers 24 to avoid the banknotes.

[0049] Preferably, in one embodiment, the output end of the rotation drive unit 21 is provided with a drive gear 211, the first slider 221 is provided with a first rack 2211, and the second slider 222 is provided with a second rack 2221. The first rack 2211 meshes with one side of the drive gear 211, and the second rack 2221 meshes with the other side of the drive gear 211. That is, the first rack 2211 and the second rack 2221 mesh on opposite sides of the drive gear 211, so that when the drive gear 211 rotates, it will drive the first slider 221 and the second slider 222 to move in two opposite directions.

[0050] Preferably, in one embodiment, a first gear 2311 is provided on the first rotating rod 231, a second gear 2321 is provided on the second rotating rod 232, a third rack 2212 is provided on the first slider 221, and a fourth rack 2222 is provided on the second slider 222. The first gear 2311 meshes with the third rack 2212, so that when the first slider 221 moves, the movement of the third rack 2212 can drive the first gear 2311 to rotate, thereby driving the first rotating rod 231 to rotate. The second gear 2321 meshes with the fourth rack 2222, so that when the second slider 222 moves, the movement of the fourth rack 2222 can drive the second gear 2321 to rotate, thereby driving the second rotating rod 232 to rotate. Specifically, in one embodiment, the third rack 2212 meshes with the top of the first gear 2311, and the fourth rack 2222 meshes with the top of the second gear 2321, so that when the first slider 221 and the second slider 222 move in opposite directions, the first rotating rod 231 and the second rotating rod 232 can be driven to rotate in opposite directions.

[0051] Preferably, in one embodiment, the rotation drive unit 21 includes a first drive motor 212 and a reversing gearbox 213. The output shaft of the first drive motor 212 is connected to the input shaft of the reversing gearbox 213, and the drive gear 211 is disposed on the output shaft of the reversing gearbox 213. This structure facilitates the arrangement of the first drive motor 212. Specifically, in one embodiment, the drive gear 211 is arranged horizontally.

[0052] Preferably, in one embodiment, the banknote pushing module 20 further includes a mounting plate 26, which is disposed on the mounting base 25 and covers the outside of the transmission unit 22. The rotation drive unit 21 is disposed on the mounting plate 26. The mounting plate 26 can protect the transmission unit 22 and also limit its movement. In addition, the mounting plate 26 reduces the installation difficulty of the rotation drive unit 21.

[0053] Preferably, in one embodiment, the mounting plate 26 is provided with a guide rod 261, which extends along the slidable direction of the first slider 221 and the second slider 222, and passes through the first slider 221 and the second slider 222. The guide rod 261 better guides the sliding direction of the first slider 221 and the second slider 222, further improving the reliability of the transmission. Specifically, in one embodiment, two guide rods 261 are provided, and the two guide rods 261 respectively pass through the first slider 221 and the second slider 222.

[0054] Preferably, in one embodiment, the linear drive module 10 includes a second drive motor 11, a lead screw 12, a lead screw nut 13, a slider 14, and a guide rail 15.

The slider 14 is connected to the lead screw nut 13 and disposed on the guide rail 15. The banknote pushing module 20 is disposed on the lead screw nut 13. That is, in this embodiment, the linear drive module 10 is a lead screw transmission structure, which allows for more precise and reliable control of the banknote pushing plate 24 to push banknotes.

[0055] Preferably, in one embodiment, the banknote pusher plate 24 is mounted on the end of the rotating rod 23 by screws 30.
