Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of banknote receiver technology, and in particular to a horizontal banknote receiver. Background Technology
[0002] Research shows that many public places have vending machines, such as ticket machines, payment machines, or banknote exchange machines, to ensure convenience and speed. These automated transaction machines all use banknote receivers to collect the banknotes used by users during transactions.
[0003] Please see Figure 1 A typical banknote receiver mainly consists of a vertical banknote receiving device 9 and a cash box 91. The cash box 91 is assembled at the rear of the banknote receiving device 9. The banknote receiving device 9 has a channel connected to the banknote inlet 92. The channel is equipped with a conveying device and an identification device. Behind the channel is a banknote pushing device 93 facing the banknote receiving space of the cash box 91. The cash box 91 has a pressure plate and a spring that pushes the pressure plate back to its original position within the opening of the receiving space. When banknotes enter the channel from the banknote inlet 92, the banknote receiving device 9 activates the conveying device to move the banknotes backward. The banknote identification device then identifies the banknotes to determine their value and authenticity. Once the banknotes are confirmed to be genuine, the pushing and retracting action of the pushing plate of the pushing device 93 pushes the banknotes and the pressure plate into the receiving space of the cash box 91. At the same time, the pressure plate, in conjunction with the spring's return force, presses the banknotes into place and stores them.
[0004] However, the current banknote receiving device 9, cash box 91, and banknote pushing device 93 adopt a vertical structure, which relatively affects the height of the internal space of the automated transaction machine, thus limiting the applicability of the banknote receiving machine. Therefore, how to solve the above problems is a topic that industry players are eager to study. Utility Model Content

A support and positioning spring 316 is provided at the front bottom of the receiver 31, and an anti-theft hook 37 is provided at the rear bottom of the receiver 31 to prevent the banknote 4 from returning (see [reference]). Figure 13 A banknote insertion channel 38 is formed between the receiving seat 31 and the bottom recessed wall 112 of the banknote insertion seat 11 (see reference). Figure 12 The receiving base 31 and the top recessed wall 212 of the banknote receiving base 21 form a banknote receiving channel 39. The lower banknote verification module 32 faces upward and corresponds to the upper banknote verification module 12, so as to provide a detection light source emitter and receiver respectively. The conveying mechanism 33 includes pulleys 332 and axles 333 disposed on the receiving base 31. Axles 333 are disposed at both the front and rear of the receiving base 31, and pulleys 332 are disposed at both ends of each axle 333. In other words, two pulleys 332 are disposed on each side of the receiving base 31. The conveying mechanism 33 also includes two conveyor belts 331 respectively sleeved on the left and right sides of the receiving base 31. The two pulleys 332 on the left side of the receiving base 31 are sleeved on one conveyor belt 331, and the two pulleys 332 on the right side of the receiving base 31 are sleeved on the other conveyor belt 331. The first motor 334 drives the two conveyor belts 331 to run in a front-to-back cycle through the transmission wheel set 335. The banknote pushing mechanism 34 includes a banknote pushing plate 341 disposed at the bottom of the receiving seat 31. The second motor 344 drives the pushing groove 343 of the X-shaped pivot linkage assembly 342 through the gear set 345 and the actuating shaft 347, so that the protrusions 346 of the X-shaped linkage assembly 342 drive the banknote pushing plate 341 to move up and down toward the banknote receiving port 211. The receiving seat 31 is provided with an upwardly inclined second connector 36 corresponding to the first connector 14. The circuit board 35 is electrically connected to the second connector 36, the lower banknote verification module 32, the first motor 334 and the second motor 344 respectively. When the banknote inlet seat 11 is closed on the banknote receiving seat 21, the first connector 14 is electrically connected to the second connector 36 downwards. When the banknote inlet seat 11 is swung upwards to open, the first connector 14 is disengaged from the second connector 36.
[0075] Please see Figures 12 to 19 As can be clearly seen from the diagram, the banknote insertion device 1, the banknote receiving device 2, and the receiving device 3 are assembled and positioned. The first connector 14 is electrically connected to the second connector 36 with its orientation downwards. The power connector 13 is electrically connected to the second connector 36, the lower banknote verification module 32, the first motor 334, and the second motor 344 via the first connector 14 (see Figure 1). Figures 6 to 10When the banknote inlet 11 is closed on the banknote receiving 21, the banknote 4 enters the banknote inlet channel 38 from the banknote inlet 111. The receiving device 3 then activates the conveying mechanism 33 to move the banknote 4 backward. The upper banknote verification module 12 and the lower banknote verification module 32 then identify the banknote 4 to determine its value and authenticity. Once it is confirmed to be a genuine banknote, the banknote 4 is conveyed into the banknote receiving channel 39. The pushing action of the banknote pushing plate 341 of the banknote pushing mechanism 34 pushes the banknote 4 and the pressing plate 22 into the banknote receiving 21. At the same time, the pressing plate 22, in conjunction with the restoring force of the spring 23, presses the banknote 4 against the bottom side of the banknote receiving inlet 211 to perform the banknote receiving action sequentially. Each time the banknote pusher 341 pushes the banknote presser 22, the banknote presser 22 pushes the bottom fold 252 of the second rod 25 downward, causing the second rod 25 to move downward, so that the first rod 16 moves downward and pushes out. The counting sensor 17 detects the displacement of the top fold 162 each time and calculates the number of banknotes 4 stored in the banknote holder 21.
[0076] The embodiments described above are only for the convenience of illustrating the present utility model and are not intended to limit it. Various simple changes and modifications that can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model should still fall within the protection scope defined by the claims.
