Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of banknote counting machine technology, and in particular to a horizontal low-noise banknote counting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Existing banknote counting machines generate noise during operation due to the flipping of banknotes. Although sound-absorbing materials such as cotton are used inside the machines to reduce noise, the noise problem has not been completely solved. In particular, the banknote insertion and removal parts still produce noticeable noise due to the lack of effective noise isolation design. This noise not only comes from the flipping of banknotes but may also involve the movement of mechanical parts and the effect of airflow. Although the sound absorption effect of the internal materials suppresses the noise to some extent, the lack of a dedicated noise-blocking design in the banknote entry and exit channels means that the external noise problem remains prominent.

[0003] During the counting process, the rapid flipping and friction of banknotes are the main sources of noise. Especially during the process of banknotes entering and leaving the machine, the sound generated by the friction between the banknotes and the inside of the machine is easily amplified outside the banknote counter, thus forming an unpleasant noise. This noise not only affects the operator's user experience, but may also cause interference, especially in environments where a quiet environment needs to be maintained. Moreover, since the design of the banknote counter does not take into account the isolation of these noises, the noise is like a "weak link" that is constantly amplified and inevitably appears at the machine's entrance and exit.

[0004] Furthermore, as the banknote counter operates, especially at high speeds, the frequent flipping of banknotes exacerbates noise generation. Although the built-in sound-absorbing material can alleviate internal noise to some extent, it is still difficult to completely isolate it from external noise transmission. In particular, noise transmission is not effectively suppressed at the banknote entry and exit channels, resulting in a relatively obvious external noise impact. Therefore, a horizontal low-noise banknote counter is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. During the counting process, the rapid flipping and friction of banknotes are the main sources of noise in banknote counters. Especially during the banknote entry and exit, the sound generated by the friction between the banknotes and the machine's internal components is easily amplified outside the counter, creating unpleasant noise. This noise not only affects the operator's experience but can also cause interference, particularly in quiet environments. Furthermore, because the banknote counter's design does not consider noise isolation, the noise acts as a "weak link," constantly amplified and inevitably manifesting at the machine's inlet and outlet. As the banknote counter operates, especially at high speeds, the frequent flipping of banknotes exacerbates the noise. Although built-in sound-absorbing materials offer some relief to internal noise, complete isolation from external noise transmission is still difficult, especially at the banknote entry and exit channels, where noise transmission is not effectively suppressed, resulting in significant external noise impact. This invention provides a horizontal, low-noise banknote counter.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a horizontal low-noise banknote counter, comprising a banknote counter body, a first noise reduction mechanism provided on one side of the banknote counter body, and a second noise reduction mechanism provided on the other side of the banknote counter body. The first noise reduction mechanism includes two first rotating plates, a first sealing plate fixedly connected to one side of the first rotating plate, a first support shell fixedly connected between one side of the two first sealing plates, an arc-shaped groove provided on one side of the first sealing plate, a slider slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove, a baffle fixedly connected between one side of the two sliders, and one side of the baffle fixedly connected to the top of the banknote counter body. The second noise reduction mechanism includes two second rotating plates, a second sealing plate fixedly connected to one side of the second rotating plate, and a second support shell fixedly connected between one side of the two second sealing plates.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the first noise reduction mechanism further includes a first rotating groove on both sides of the main body of the banknote counter, and a first rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first rotating groove.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the first rotating rod is fixedly connected to one side of the first rotating plate, and a first torsion spring is provided on the outer surface of the first rotating rod.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the first torsion spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first rotating groove, and the other end of the first torsion spring is fixedly connected to one side of the first rotating plate.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the second noise reduction mechanism further includes a second rotating groove on both sides of the main body of the banknote counter. A second rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second rotating groove, and one end of the second rotating rod is fixedly connected to one side of the second rotating plate.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a second torsion spring is provided on the outer surface of the second rotating rod. One end of the second torsion spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second rotating groove, and the other end of the second torsion spring is fixedly connected to one side of the second rotating plate.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the first noise reduction mechanism further includes a fixing mechanism, which includes a slide groove on both sides of the banknote counter body and a card hole on the outer surface of the first rotating plate. A card rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove, and the outer surface of the card rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the card hole.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the clamp is fixedly connected to a telescopic rod, one end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove, a spring is provided on the outer surface of the telescopic rod, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to one end of the clamp.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] The first and second rotating plates of this utility model provide pivot points, thereby enabling the first sealing plate, the first support shell, the second sealing plate, and the second support shell to rotate. By adapting the first and second sealing plates to the outer surface of the banknote counter body, the first and second noise reduction mechanisms can better fit with the banknote counter body. Thus, during the operation of the banknote counter body, the first and second noise reduction mechanisms seal the take-out end and the insert end, thereby confining the sound generated by the banknotes inside the first and second noise reduction mechanisms and absorbing it with sound-absorbing cotton to reduce noise.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example

[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a horizontal low-noise banknote counter, including a banknote counter body 1, a first noise reduction mechanism 2 is provided on one side of the banknote counter body 1, and a second noise reduction mechanism 3 is provided on the other side of the banknote counter body 1. The first noise reduction mechanism 2 includes two first rotating plates 21, a first sealing plate 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the first rotating plate 21, a first support shell 23 is fixedly connected between one side of the two first sealing plates 22, an arc-shaped groove 24 is opened on one side of the first sealing plate 22, a slider 26 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 24, a baffle 25 is fixedly connected between one side of the two sliders 26, and one side of the baffle 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the banknote counter body 1. The second noise reduction mechanism 3 includes two second rotating plates 31, a second sealing plate 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the second rotating plate 31, and a second support shell 33 is fixedly connected between one side of the two second sealing plates 32.

[0028] In the above embodiments, the first rotating plate 21, the first sealing plate 22, the first support shell 23, the baffle 25, the second rotating plate 31, the second sealing plate 32, and the second support shell 33 are all made of sound-absorbing cotton material;

[0029] The first rotating plate 21 and the second rotating plate 31 provide pivot points, thereby enabling the first sealing plate 22, the first support shell 23, the second sealing plate 32 and the second support shell 33 to rotate. By adapting the first sealing plate 22 and the second sealing plate 32 to the outer surface of the banknote counter body 1, the first noise reduction mechanism 2 and the second noise reduction mechanism 3 can better fit with the banknote counter body 1. Thus, during the operation of the banknote counter body 1, the first noise reduction mechanism 2 and the second noise reduction mechanism 3 seal the take-out end and the insert end, thereby confining the sound generated by the banknote inside the first noise reduction mechanism 2 and the second noise reduction mechanism 3, which is absorbed by the sound-absorbing cotton to reduce noise.

[0030] The baffle 25 can block the banknotes, thereby organizing the thrown banknotes. During the opening of the first shell 23, the arc groove 24 and the slider 26 can prevent the baffle 25 from moving, so that after the first shell 23 is opened, the banknotes can be taken out from the baffle 25.

[0031] The first noise reduction mechanism 2 also includes a first rotating groove 27 opened on both sides of the banknote counter body 1. A first rotating rod 28 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first rotating groove 27. One end of the first rotating rod 28 is fixedly connected to one side of the first rotating plate 21. A first torsion spring 210 is provided on the outer surface of the first rotating rod 28. One end of the first torsion spring 210 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first rotating groove 27, and the other end of the first torsion spring 210 is fixedly connected to one side of the first rotating plate 21.

[0032] The second noise reduction mechanism 3 also includes a second rotating groove 34 opened on both sides of the main body 1 of the banknote counter. A second rotating rod 35 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second rotating groove 34. One end of the second rotating rod 35 is fixedly connected to one side of the second rotating plate 31. A second torsion spring 36 is provided on the outer surface of the second rotating rod 35. One end of the second torsion spring 36 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second rotating groove 34, and the other end of the second torsion spring 36 is fixedly connected to one side of the second rotating plate 31.

[0033] Through the above embodiments, the first torsion spring 210 can rotate towards the main body 1 of the banknote counter via the first rotating plate 21, thereby enabling the first rotating plate 21, the first sealing plate 22, and the first support shell 23 to cover the outside of the main body 1 of the banknote counter and form a closed space. The second torsion spring 36 can cover the outside of the main body 1 of the banknote counter via the second rotating plate 31, the second sealing plate 32, and the second support shell 33, thereby controlling the noise generated by banknotes during the operation of the main body 1 of the banknote counter. The first rotating rod 28 enables the first rotating plate 21 to rotate stably, and the second rotating rod 35 enables the second rotating plate 31 to rotate stably.

[0034] The first noise reduction mechanism 2 also includes a fixing mechanism 29. The fixing mechanism 29 includes a slide groove 291 on both sides of the main body 1 of the banknote counter and a locking hole 294 on the outer surface of the first rotating plate 21. A locking rod 293 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 291. The outer surface of the locking rod 293 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the locking hole 294. A telescopic rod 292 is fixedly connected to one end of the locking rod 293. One end of the telescopic rod 292 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 291. A spring 295 is provided on the outer surface of the telescopic rod 292. One end of the spring 295 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 291, and the other end of the spring 295 is fixedly connected to one end of the locking rod 293.

[0035] Through the above embodiments, the fixing mechanism 29 can fix the opened first noise reduction mechanism 2, so that the first noise reduction mechanism 2 is in the open state, which facilitates the removal of banknotes. The spring 295 drives the locking rod 293 to fix the locking rod 293 inside the locking hole 294 of the first rotating plate 21, thereby fixing the first rotating plate 21 and preventing the first noise reduction mechanism 2 from rotating. When a large force is applied to the first rotating plate 21 through the curved end of the locking rod 293, the locking rod 293 can be squeezed to move into the slide groove 291. When the curved end of the locking rod 293 is flush with the outer surface of the banknote counter body 1, the first noise reduction mechanism 2 can be rotated.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] like Figure 1-4 As shown, during use, the second noise reduction mechanism 3 is opened, and then banknotes are placed into the insertion end of the banknote counter body 1. After that, the second noise reduction mechanism 3 is released. At this time, the second torsion spring 36 drives the second rotating plate 31 to rotate. The rotation of the second rotating plate 31 drives the second sealing plate 32 to rotate. The rotation of the second sealing plate 32 drives the second support shell 33 to rotate. At this time, the second noise reduction mechanism 3 covers the insertion end of the banknote counter body 1.

[0038] After the counting is completed, the first noise reduction mechanism 2 is opened. During the movement of the first noise reduction mechanism 2, the first rotating plate 21 squeezes the locking rod 293, causing the locking rod 293 to enter the interior of the slide groove 291. When the locking rod 293 is aligned with the locking hole 294, the spring 295 drives the locking rod 293 into the interior of the locking hole 294. At this time, the first noise reduction mechanism 2 is fixed, and then the counted banknotes can be taken out.

[0039] Then, the first noise reduction mechanism 2 is closed, and the first rotating plate 21 rotates to press the locking rod 293, thereby causing the locking rod 293 to move into the interior of the slide groove 291. When the curved end of the locking rod 293 is flush with the outer surface of the banknote counter body 1, the first noise reduction mechanism 2 can be rotated. At this time, the first noise reduction mechanism 2 is released and the first rotating plate 21 rotates under the action of the first torsion spring 210. The rotation of the first rotating plate 21 causes the first sealing plate 22 to rotate, and the rotation of the first sealing plate 22 causes the first support shell 23 to rotate. Then, the first noise reduction mechanism 2 is covered by the first torsion spring 210 at the take-out end of the banknote counter body 1.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
