Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a banknote counting and verification machine. Background Technology

[0002] Existing banknote counting and verification machines place a signal transmitter and receiver between the banknote feeding roller and the banknote delivery roller to perform optical detection on banknotes to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit banknotes. However, when the banknote feeding roller and the banknote delivery roller come into contact with the banknotes together, the banknotes will be pulled. Therefore, an additional banknote delivery roller is needed to flatten the banknotes to ensure the accuracy of optical detection, which makes the structure complex. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention aims to provide a banknote counting and verification machine that performs optical detection on banknotes when dispensing them, with a simple structure and high accuracy.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This banknote counting and verification machine includes two side wall panels and a controller. A banknote feeding mechanism, a banknote verification mechanism, and a banknote receiving mechanism are sequentially arranged longitudinally between the two side wall panels. The banknote verification mechanism includes a banknote dispensing wheel and a banknote passing platform. The banknote dispensing wheels are axially spaced along a second mounting shaft, which is rotatably arranged. A banknote passing channel is formed between the banknote dispensing wheels and the banknote passing platform. The banknote verification mechanism also includes an optical detection component. A banknote verification gap is formed between the banknote dispensing wheels. The optical detection component is disposed at the banknote verification gap and includes a light source emitting lamp and a first receiver.

[0005] In this scheme, the light signal emitted by the light source at the banknote verification gap reaches the first receiver through the banknote surface. When the banknote passes through the banknote dispensing wheel, the banknote surface exposed at the banknote verification gap is not pulled longitudinally, resulting in accurate identification.

[0006] Preferably, the banknote passing platform is provided with a banknote verification slot for accommodating a light source emitting lamp and a first receiver. The light source emitting lamp includes a colored lamp, and the first receiver is used to receive reflected light.

[0007] In this scheme, the banknote verification slot forms a relatively enclosed space, which restricts the dispersion of light signals. The first receiver receives the reflected light to form a banknote image, and the image is clear.

[0008] Preferably, the banknote verification mechanism further includes a mounting frame, which is connected to the wall panels on both sides. The mounting frame is provided with mounting plates at intervals, which extend into the banknote verification gap. The light source emitting lamp is disposed on the mounting plate, and the first receiver is disposed on the banknote passing platform or the mounting plate.

[0009] In this scheme, the first receiver is set on the banknote passing platform or mounting plate to receive transmitted or reflected light.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting plate is located below the second mounting shaft, and the light source emitting lamp is located on the radial axis of the second mounting shaft.

[0011] In this design, the second mounting shaft will not interfere with the optical signal, and the bottom of the banknote delivery wheel will contact the banknote surface, at which point the banknote surface will be at its flattest.

[0012] Preferably, the first receiver is disposed on the banknote passing platform, the first receiver is located on the radial axis of the second mounting shaft, the light source emitting lamp includes an infrared lamp, and the first receiver is used to receive transmitted light.

[0013] In this scheme, the first receiver receives the transmitted light to form an image of the ticket.

[0014] Preferably, the light source emitter includes a colored light and an infrared light, both of which are semi-circular. The first receiver is disposed on the mounting plate and is used to receive reflected light. The optical detection component further includes a second receiver, which is disposed on the banknote passing platform and is used to receive transmitted light.

[0015] In this scheme, colored lights and infrared lights form a spherical head, which focuses the light more effectively. The first and second receivers receive reflected light and transmitted light respectively, enabling multi-dimensional detection and accurate identification of currencies from multiple countries around the world.

[0016] Preferably, the banknote verification mechanism further includes a magnetic head, the banknote conveying platform is provided with a first notch, the magnetic head extends into the banknote conveying channel through the first notch, a banknote conveying gap is formed between the magnetic head and the banknote delivery wheel, the banknote conveying direction is defined as from front to back, and the reflective receiver is located in front of the light source emitting lamp.

[0017] In this scheme, the magnetic head detects the magnetic characteristics of the banknote, which, together with optical detection, ensures accurate identification.

[0018] Preferably, the second mounting shaft is further provided with a drive wheel, and a driven wheel is provided below the drive wheel. The banknote feeding platform is provided with a second notch for the driven wheel to pass through. The banknote feeding mechanism includes a first mounting shaft, a banknote feeding pressure wheel, and a banknote separating wheel. The first mounting shaft and the second mounting shaft are vertically offset. The banknote separating wheel has banknote separating teeth and is located between the banknote feeding pressure wheels. The banknote receiving mechanism includes a banknote receiving wheel.

[0019] In this scheme, the banknote separating rollers separate and transport a stack of banknotes one by one through the separating teeth, and the banknote feeding pressure roller presses the banknotes to ensure that the banknotes are not skewed. For banknotes that are too long, the power roller can reliably transport them.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the light signal emitted by the light source at the banknote verification gap reaches the first receiver via the banknote surface; when the banknote passes through the dispensing wheel, the banknote surface exposed at the verification gap is not stretched longitudinally, ensuring accurate identification; the color light and infrared light form a spherical head, making the light more focused; the first receiver and the second receiver respectively receive reflected and transmitted light, enabling multi-dimensional detection and accurate identification of currencies from multiple countries worldwide. Therefore, this invention has substantial features and progress compared to existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

[0029] See appendix Figure 1-3 In this embodiment, a banknote counting and verification machine includes two side wall panels 1 and a controller. Between the two side wall panels 1, a banknote feeding mechanism 2, a banknote verification mechanism 3 and a banknote receiving mechanism 6 are arranged longitudinally. The banknote verification mechanism 3 includes a banknote dispensing wheel 4 and a banknote passing platform 5. The banknote dispensing wheel 4 is axially spaced along a second mounting shaft 14, which is rotatably arranged. A banknote passing channel is formed between the banknote dispensing wheel 4 and the banknote passing platform 5.

[0030] The banknote verification mechanism 3 further includes an optical detection component 16, a mounting frame 8, and a magnetic head 10. A banknote verification gap 7 is formed between the banknote dispensing wheels 4. The optical detection component 16 is disposed at the banknote verification gap 7. The optical detection component 16 includes a light source emitting lamp 17 and a first receiver 18. The mounting frame 8 is connected to the wall panels 1 on both sides. The mounting frame 8 is provided with mounting plates 9 at intervals. The mounting plates 9 extend into the banknote verification gap 7. The light source emitting lamp 17 is disposed on the mounting plate 9. The mounting plate 9 is located below the second mounting shaft 14. The light source emitting lamp 17 is located on the radial axis of the second mounting shaft 14.

[0031] The light source emitting lamp 17 includes a color lamp 19 and an infrared lamp 20, both of which are semi-circular. The first receiver 18 is disposed on the mounting plate 9 and is used to receive reflected light. The optical detection component 16 also includes a second receiver 21, which is disposed on the banknote passing platform 5 and is used to receive transmitted light.

[0032] The banknote conveying platform 5 is provided with a first notch, the magnetic head 10 extends into the banknote conveying channel through the first notch, a banknote conveying gap is formed between the magnetic head 10 and the banknote delivery wheel 4, the banknote conveying direction is defined as from front to back, and the reflective receiver is located in front of the light source emitting lamp 17.

[0033] In this embodiment, banknotes enter through the banknote feeding mechanism 2, pass through the banknote verification mechanism 3, and then reach the banknote receiving mechanism 6. Infrared lamp 20 and color lamp 19 form a combined light source. The second receiver 21 receives the light signal transmitted through the banknote surface, and the first receiver 18 receives the light signal reflected from the banknote surface, thus identifying the authenticity of the banknotes from multiple dimensions. The banknote feeding mechanism 2 and the banknote receiving mechanism 6 are mature technologies.

[0034] In other alternative implementations, the banknote passing platform 5 is provided with a banknote verification slot for accommodating the light source emitting lamp 17 and the first receiver 18. The light source emitting lamp 17 includes a color lamp 19, and the first receiver 18 is used to receive reflected light. There is no need to set up the mounting bracket 8 and the mounting plate 9. The controller forms an image from the reflected light received by the first receiver 18, which can also recognize the currencies of many countries in the world. However, it has high requirements for the controller hardware. The mounting plate 9 can be set above the mounting axis. The color lamp 19 can be a white light or a green light, and the lamp can be flat-headed.

[0035] See appendix Figure 1-3 The second mounting shaft 14 is also provided with a drive wheel 11, and a driven wheel is provided below the drive wheel 11. The banknote feeding platform 5 is provided with a second notch 22 for the driven wheel to pass through.

The banknote receiving mechanism 6 includes a banknote receiving roller 15.

[0036] In this embodiment, the banknote-splitting teeth of the banknote-splitting roller 13 transport a stack of banknotes one by one backward, which is a mature technology. The banknote-feeding pressure roller (not shown in the figure) works with the banknote-splitting roller 13 to transport banknotes, ensuring that the banknotes are balanced in the lateral direction during transport and that the banknotes are not tilted. The power roller 11 divides the banknote-dispensing roller 4 into three groups, and a banknote verification gap 7 is also formed between the power roller 11 and the banknote-dispensing roller 4. Among them, the number of light source emitting lamps 17 between two power rollers 11 is up to nine.
