[0002] Public buses have a significant impact on society and play a fundamental role in promoting urban development. They bring citizens closer together than ever before, shorten the distance between cities and neighboring towns and villages, increase travel frequency, and improve convenience. Currently, most buses are self-service, requiring passengers to deposit money into the coin box. However, due to the looseness of banknotes, there are often gaps between them. Once a certain amount accumulates, it becomes difficult to insert more money into the box. At this point, bus drivers or other staff must transport the banknotes to a designated location to retrieve them, severely impacting the efficiency of bus drivers and presenting limitations. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a smart coin acceptor for buses that can squeeze the inserted coins to ensure the airtightness between the coins, so that the coin box of the same size can hold more coins and reduce the workload of bus drivers.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A smart coin-operated machine for buses includes a storage box and a coin-operated box. The coin-operated box is fixed to the storage box.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-6 A smart coin-operated machine for buses includes a storage box 1 and a coin box 2. The coin box 2 is fixed to the storage box 1. A coin slot 202 is provided through the coin box 2, extending into the interior of the storage box 1. An inner liner 8 is movably disposed inside the storage box 1. A connecting hole 801 is provided through the inner liner 8, connecting to the coin slot 202. A baffle 11 is movably disposed on the inner wall of the connecting hole 801. A pressure plate 3 is movably disposed in the inner liner 8. Multiple sets of level measuring sensors 4 and time relays 5 are disposed on the inner wall of the inner liner 8, with adjacent level measuring sensors 4 and time relays 5 configured in cooperation.

[0023] In practical use, the coin slot 202 simplifies the traditional multi-coin slot channel and unifies the coin slots. The coin slot 202 extends into the storage box 1 and connects with the connecting hole 801, which facilitates the collection of currency in the inner liner 8. The level measurement sensor 4 and the time relay 5 are set to monitor the storage status of the currency. By controlling the pressure plate 3 to start, the inserted currency can be squeezed to reduce the gaps between them, increase the storage capacity of currency, ensure the airtightness between the inserted currency, and reduce the workload of bus drivers. The baffle 11 can block the connecting hole 801 after the inner liner is removed, preventing the inserted currency from falling out of the connecting hole 801.

[0024] In this embodiment, a card reader 201 is installed on the side of the coin box 2, and a QR code scanning area is also provided on the card reader 201; a cabinet door 101 is hinged to the side of the storage box 1, and the cabinet door 101 is connected to the storage box 1 by a latch; specifically, the card reader 201 and the QR code scanning area facilitate users to pay by card or by QR code, which is convenient. Both the card reader 201 and the QR code scanning area are connected to a bus-specific fare collection system. The cabinet door 101 allows staff to open the cabinet door and take out the inner liner 8.

[0025] In this embodiment, the pressure plate 3 has a through hole, one end of the corrugated sleeve 7 is connected to the bottom of the connecting hole 801, and the other end is connected to the through hole; specifically, the through hole, corrugated sleeve 7, connecting hole 801 and coin slot 202 facilitate the collection of coins inserted from the coin slot 202 as they fall to the bottom of the inner liner 8, and the corrugated sleeve 7 facilitates the adjustment of the pressure plate 3 as it rises and falls.

[0026] Rollers are slidably installed in the inner walls of both the coin slot 202 and the connecting hole 801, which facilitates the flow of banknotes.

[0027] In the initial state, the pressure plate 3 is located inside the inner liner 8 and is not in contact with the level measuring sensor 4 and the time relay 5, so as to avoid misjudgment by the level measuring sensor 4 and the time relay 5.

[0028] In this embodiment, a first cylinder 6 is installed at the top of the inner liner 8. The telescopic end of the first cylinder 6 is connected to the pressure plate 3. A notch is provided on the side of the pressure plate 3. The notch is configured to cooperate with the level measuring sensor 4 and the time relay 5. The level measuring sensor 4 is configured to cooperate with the first cylinder 6. Specifically, the first cylinder is controlled by the accumulation capacity sensed by the level measuring sensor 4 and the time relay 5. After the specified capacity is reached, the first cylinder drives the pressure plate 3 to rise and fall, squeezing the inserted currency and reducing the gap between the currency. The notch is designed to prevent the level measuring sensor 4 and the time relay 5 from being worn during the rising and falling of the pressure plate 3.

[0029] In this embodiment, the baffle 11 is hinged in the connecting hole 801, and the side of the baffle 11 is slidably connected to the hinge member 10. The inner liner 8 is equipped with a second cylinder 9, and the extension end of the second cylinder 9 is hinged to the hinge member 10.

[0030] The storage box 1 and the inner liner 8 can be connected by a sensor. Once the inner liner 8 is taken out of the storage box 1, the sensor is triggered. The sensor is electrically connected to the second cylinder 9. The sensor transmits a command to the second cylinder 9. The activation of the second cylinder causes the baffle 11 to move, blocking the connecting hole 801 and preventing the currency from falling out of the connecting hole 801 after the inner liner 8 is taken out.

[0031] In this embodiment, a handle 802 is installed on the inner liner 8, and an inner liner door 803 is hinged to the surface of the inner liner 8. Specifically, the handle 802 is designed to facilitate staff to take the inner liner 8, and the inner liner door 803 is opened and closed by means of a password or card swipe, and is opened and closed by staff specifically responsible for cleaning the currency.

[0032] A microcontroller can also be set up to control multiple sets of level measurement sensors 4 and time relays 5. When the bottom level measurement sensor 4 and time relay 5 are working, the microcontroller controls the level measurement sensor 4 and time relay 5 above it to not work. When the bottom level measurement sensor 4 and time relay 5 are not working, the level measurement sensor 4 and time relay 5 above it work independently. The level measurement sensors 4 and time relay 5 are controlled to work from bottom to top.

[0033] At least two sets of level measuring sensors 4 and time relays 5 are installed, located at different heights inside the inner tank 8. The level measuring sensor 4 is used to monitor the storage depth of the currency after it is dropped. Once the currency accumulates to the level of the level measuring sensor 4, the level measuring sensor 4, in conjunction with the time relay 5, transmits a command to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then controls the first cylinder 6 to start, which in turn moves the pressure plate 3 to squeeze the accumulated currency. Each set of level measuring sensors 4 and time relays 5 transmits a command to the microcontroller only once to control the first cylinder 6. That is, after a single set of level measuring sensors 4 and time relays 5 transmits a command, it is in the off state. Because of the time relay 5, it can work with the level measuring sensor 4 to monitor the falling currency. When banknotes fall normally from the side of the level measuring sensor 4, the level measuring sensor 4 will not be triggered. However, once the currency accumulates next to the level measuring sensor 4 for 5-10 seconds, the level measuring sensor 4 will be triggered.

[0034] The level sensor 4 senses the height of the currency and transmits the signal to the time relay 5. After receiving the signal, the time relay starts to work. The internal control circuit judges and processes the signal from the level sensor 4 to determine whether the currency has reached the set position. Based on the judgment result, the time relay and the level sensor 4 generate corresponding switching signals to the microcontroller. The microcontroller controls the first cylinder 6 to drive the pressure plate 3 to move and squeeze the currency.
