Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of financial equipment technology, and in particular to a banknote storage device and a banknote processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Banknote processing equipment typically includes a frame, a receiving cavity mounted on the frame, and a banknote collection / separation device. The receiving cavity stores banknotes, and the banknote collection / separation device feeds banknotes into or outputs banknotes from the receiving cavity. To facilitate banknote transport, related technologies have incorporated the receiving cavity as a separate banknote storage device from the banknote collection / separation device. The banknote collection / separation device is fixedly connected to the frame, while the banknote storage device is detachably connected to the frame. When the banknote storage device is mounted on the frame, the banknote collection / separation device can feed banknotes into or output banknotes from the banknote storage device. When the banknote storage device is detached, it can be used to transport banknotes.

[0003] The banknote storage device provided by the related technology includes a housing, a door, and a roller shutter. A receiving cavity is located within the housing, which also has a first opening and a second opening communicating with the receiving cavity. The door is pivotally connected to the housing and is used to open and close the first opening. When the first opening is open, the operator can fill or remove banknotes from the receiving cavity through it. The roller shutter is slidably connected to the housing and is used to close or open the second opening. During the installation of the banknote storage device onto a frame, the frame structure cooperates with the roller shutter and drives it to slide relative to the housing to open the second opening. When the banknote storage device is in place, the roller shutter opens the second opening. At this time, a banknote collection / separation device fixed to the frame extends into the receiving cavity through the second opening, driving the banknotes in the receiving cavity to exit through the second opening or to be fed into the receiving cavity through the second opening. When the banknote storage device is removed from the frame, the roller shutter automatically closes the second opening under elastic force. However, this banknote storage device has a problem: when the banknote storage device is removed from the frame, during the process of closing the second opening of the roller shutter door, the banknotes in the receiving cavity may extend into the second opening, causing the roller shutter door to fail to close the second opening or the banknotes to be caught between the roller shutter door and the edge of the second opening. Therefore, this banknote storage device has poor reliability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a banknote storage device and a banknote processing device, which enables the roller shutter door to close the opening smoothly when the banknote storage device is removed from the frame, thereby improving the reliability of the banknote storage device.

[0005] On one hand, this utility model provides a banknote storage device, which has a usage state when installed on a device and a standby state when removed from the device. The banknote storage device includes:

[0006] The outer casing has an opening;

[0007] A roller shutter door is movably connected to the outer casing, and the roller shutter door is used to open and close the opening;

[0008] A first elastic element is connected to the roller shutter door, and the elastic force of the first elastic element causes the roller shutter door to always have a tendency to close the opening.

[0009] A storage box, disposed within the outer casing, is used to store banknotes. The storage box includes a pressure plate, a support plate, and a banknote-blocking component. The pressure plate and the support plate are arranged adjacent to each other at an angle. The support plate has a banknote inlet / outlet near the end of the pressure plate, which communicates with the opening. The banknote-blocking component is movably connected to either the pressure plate or the support plate. The banknote-blocking component can extend into or retract from the banknote inlet / outlet. Preferably, the banknote-blocking component is configured to always have a tendency to extend into the banknote inlet / outlet. When the banknote storage device is in the standby state, the banknote-blocking component extends into the banknote inlet / outlet to prevent banknotes in the storage box from entering the opening through the banknote inlet / outlet. When the banknote storage device is in the use state, the banknote-blocking component retracts from the banknote inlet / outlet, allowing banknotes to pass through the opening and the banknote inlet / outlet into and out of the storage box.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution for the banknote storage device, when the banknote blocking component is movably connected to the support plate, the pressure plate is configured to contact the surface of the banknote, the support plate is configured to contact the end face of the banknote, and the support plate is provided with a groove extending along the stacking direction of the banknote; the banknote blocking component includes a banknote blocking plate, the banknote blocking plate is inserted into the groove, and the banknote blocking plate can move along the groove to extend into or retract from the banknote inlet / outlet.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution for the banknote storage device, the support plate includes a support surface for contacting the end face of the banknote;

[0012] The banknote baffle includes a blocking surface. When the banknote baffle moves along the slide groove, the blocking surface does not protrude from the supporting surface. When the banknote storage device is in the standby state, the blocking surface prevents the banknotes in the storage box from entering the opening through the banknote inlet / outlet.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution for the banknote storage device, the banknote blocking component further includes a second elastic component. One end of the second elastic component is connected to the banknote blocking plate, and the other end of the second elastic component is connected to the support plate. The elastic force of the second elastic component ensures that the banknote blocking plate always has a tendency to extend into the banknote inlet / outlet.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution for the banknote storage device, the storage box further includes:

[0015] A banknote support plate is disposed opposite to the pressure plate along the stacking direction of the banknotes, and the banknote support plate can move along the stacking direction of the banknotes to move closer to or further away from the pressure plate;

[0016] A cover plate is provided at intervals relative to the support plate along a first direction;

[0017] Two limiting plates are arranged at intervals relative to each other along a second direction, and the pressure plate, the banknote holding plate, the support plate, the cover plate, and the two limiting plates together form a receiving space for storing banknotes. The first direction is one of the width direction and the length direction of the banknote, and the second direction is the other of the width direction and the length direction of the banknote.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution for a banknote storage device, when the banknote blocking component is movably connected to the pressure plate, the first end of the banknote blocking component is pivotally connected to the pressure plate, and the second end of the banknote blocking component always has a tendency to rotate around the first end of the banknote blocking component toward the support plate to extend into the banknote inlet / outlet.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution for the banknote storage device, one of the pressure plate and the support plate is provided with a slot, and when the banknote storage device is in the standby state, the banknote blocking component is inserted into the slot.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution for the banknote storage device, the roller shutter door is movably installed between the outer casing and the storage box. When the banknote storage device is in the standby state, the roller shutter door closes the opening. When the banknote storage device is in the use state, the roller shutter door is located between the support plate and the outer casing, and the roller shutter door opens the opening.

[0021] The banknote storage device provided by this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The banknote storage device includes a housing, a roller shutter door, a first elastic element, and a storage box. The housing has an opening; the roller shutter door is movably connected to the housing and is used to open and close the opening; the first elastic element is connected to the roller shutter door, and its elastic force ensures that the roller shutter door always has a tendency to close the opening; the storage box is located inside the housing and is used to store banknotes. The storage box includes a pressure plate, a support plate, and a banknote-blocking element. The pressure plate and the support plate are arranged adjacent to each other at an angle. The support plate has a banknote inlet / outlet near the end of the pressure plate, and the banknote inlet / outlet communicates with the opening; the banknote-blocking element... The banknote holding device is movably connected to either the pressure plate or the support plate. The banknote holding device can extend into or retract from the banknote inlet / outlet, and is configured to always have a tendency to extend into or retract from the banknote inlet / outlet. The banknote holding device has a working state installed on the equipment and a standby state removed from the equipment. When the banknote holding device is in standby state, the banknote holding device extends into the banknote inlet / outlet to prevent banknotes in the holding box from entering the open through the banknote inlet / outlet. When the banknote holding device is in working state, the banknote holding device retracts from the banknote inlet / outlet to allow banknotes to enter and exit the holding box through the open and banknote inlet / outlet. The banknote storage device provided in this embodiment is in a standby state when it is removed from the banknote processing equipment. The banknote blocking component extends into the banknote inlet / outlet and prevents banknotes in the storage box from entering the open opening through the inlet / outlet, thus ensuring the smooth closure of the roller shutter door. When the banknote storage device is installed on the equipment, it is in use. The banknote blocking component retracts from the inlet / outlet, allowing banknotes to enter the storage box through the open opening or the inlet / outlet, or banknotes in the storage box to exit through the inlet / outlet or the open opening. Therefore, the banknote storage device provided in this embodiment, when removed from the equipment, prevents banknotes from entering the open opening by extending the banknote blocking component into the inlet / outlet, thus ensuring the smooth closure of the roller shutter door and improving the reliability of the banknote storage device.

[0023] On the other hand, this utility model provides a banknote processing device, which includes a frame, a banknote collection / separation device, and a banknote storage device as described in any of the above-mentioned solutions. The banknote collection / separation device is installed on the frame and includes a trigger. When the banknote storage device is installed on the frame, the banknote storage device is in the use state. The banknote collection / separation device extends into the banknote storage device through the opening, and the trigger passes through the banknote inlet / outlet and drives the banknote blocking member to exit the banknote inlet / outlet.

[0024] As a preferred technical solution for a banknote processing device, the banknote collection / separation device includes a banknote kicking roller, a banknote separating roller, a banknote blocking roller, and a motor. The banknote kicking roller passes through the pressure plate and extends into the storage box. The banknote kicking roller is used to drive the banknotes in the storage box to move towards the banknote inlet / outlet direction.

[0025] Along the direction of banknote output from the storage box, the banknote separating roller is located downstream of the banknote kicking roller. The banknote separating roller is used to drive the banknotes driven by the banknote kicking roller to be output from the banknote inlet / outlet. The banknote blocking roller is arranged opposite to the banknote separating roller. The banknote blocking roller is used to prevent overlapping banknotes from being output from the banknote inlet / outlet. The motor is connected to the banknote kicking roller and the banknote separating roller. The motor is used to drive the banknote kicking roller and the banknote separating roller to rotate.

[0026] The trigger is a rotating component sleeved on the banknote blocking roller, and the rotating component can rotate relative to the banknote blocking roller. When the banknote storage device is in the use state, the rotating component abuts against the banknote blocking component and drives the banknote blocking component to exit the banknote inlet / outlet.

[0027] The banknote processing device provided by this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0028] The banknote processing device includes the aforementioned banknote processing device. When the banknote storage device is detached from the frame, the banknote blocking component extends into the banknote inlet / outlet to prevent banknotes from entering the open opening, thereby ensuring that the roller shutter door can close smoothly and improving the reliability of the banknote processing device. When the banknote storage device is in use, the trigger on the banknote collection / separation device applies force to the banknote blocking component, driving the banknote blocking component to exit the banknote inlet / outlet, so that the banknote collection / separation device can transport banknotes through the open opening and the banknote inlet / outlet to the storage box, or the banknote collection / separation device can output banknotes in the storage box through the banknote inlet / outlet and the open opening. The banknote processing device provided by this utility model embodiment has good reliability. Attached Figure Description

[0052] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3This embodiment provides a banknote storage device 30, which includes a housing 1, a roller shutter 2, a first elastic member (not shown in the drawings), and a storage box 3. The housing 1 has an opening 111; the roller shutter 2 is movably connected to the housing 1 and is used to open and close the opening 111; the first elastic member is connected to the roller shutter 2, and its elastic force ensures that the roller shutter 2 always has a tendency to close the opening 111; the storage box 3 is disposed inside the housing 1 and is used to store banknotes 100 (see...). Figure 12 The storage box 3 includes a pressure plate 31, a support plate 32, and a banknote-blocking component 33. The pressure plate 31 and the support plate 32 are arranged adjacent to each other at an angle. The end of the support plate 32 near the pressure plate 31 has a banknote inlet / outlet 321, which communicates with the opening 111. The banknote-blocking component 33 is movably connected to one of the pressure plate 31 and the support plate 32. The banknote-blocking component 33 can extend into or out of the banknote inlet / outlet 321, and the banknote-blocking component 33 is configured to always have a tendency to extend into or out of the banknote inlet / outlet 321. The banknote storage device 30 has a working state when installed on the equipment and a standby state when removed from the equipment. When the banknote storage device 30 is in standby state, the banknote blocking member 33 extends into the banknote inlet / outlet 321 to prevent the banknotes 100 in the storage box 3 from entering the opening 111 through the banknote inlet / outlet 321. When the banknote storage device 30 is in working state, the banknote blocking member 33 retracts from the banknote inlet / outlet 321 so that the banknotes 100 can enter and exit the storage box 3 through the opening 111 and the banknote inlet / outlet 321.

[0054] The banknote storage device 30 provided in this embodiment is in a standby state when it is removed from the banknote processing device (banknote processing device) for processing banknotes 100. The banknote blocking member 33 extends into the banknote inlet / outlet 321 and prevents the banknotes 100 in the storage box 3 from entering the opening 111 through the banknote inlet / outlet 321, thereby ensuring that the roller shutter door 2 can smoothly close the opening 111 under the elastic force of the first elastic member. When the banknote storage device 30 is installed on the device, it is in use. The banknote blocking member 33 exits the banknote inlet / outlet 321, and the banknotes 100 can enter the storage box 3 through the opening 111 and the banknote inlet / outlet 321, or the banknotes 100 in the storage box 3 can be output through the banknote inlet / outlet 321 and the opening 111. Therefore, the banknote storage device 30 provided in this embodiment of the present invention, when the banknote storage device 30 is removed from the equipment, prevents the banknote 100 from entering the opening 111 by extending the banknote blocking member 33 into the banknote inlet / outlet 321, thereby ensuring that the roller shutter door 2 can close smoothly and improving the reliability of the banknote storage device 30.

[0055] Alternatively, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The outer shell 1 includes a first shell 11 and a second shell 12 that are fastened together, and an opening 111 is provided in the first shell 11.

[0056] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 8 The other of the pressure plate 31 and the support plate 32 is provided with a slot 314. When the banknote storage device 30 is in standby mode, the banknote blocking member 33 is inserted into the slot 314. With this arrangement, by inserting the banknote blocking member 33 into the slot 314, there is no gap between the pressure plate 31 or the support plate 32 and the banknote blocking member 33, thus preventing the banknote 100 from being inserted into the gap between them.

[0057] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The roller shutter 2 is movably installed between the outer casing 1 and the storage box 3. When the banknote storage device 30 is in standby mode, the roller shutter 2 closes the opening 111. When the banknote storage device 30 is in use mode, the roller shutter 2 is located between the support plate 32 and the outer casing 1, and the opening 111 of the roller shutter 2 is open. With this arrangement, when the opening 111 of the roller shutter 2 is open, the space between the outer casing 1 and the storage box 3 can be fully utilized to accommodate the roller shutter 2, which is beneficial to the simplification of the structure of the banknote storage device 30. Optionally, the first housing 11 is provided with an elongated slot 112. The roller shutter 2 includes a door body 21 and a drive column 22 fixedly connected to the door body 21. The door body 21 is used to close the opening 111. The drive column 22 is inserted into the elongated slot 112 and extends outside the housing 1. When the banknote storage device 30 is installed on the device, the drive column 22 is configured to abut against the blocking structure on the device. The blocking structure prevents the roller shutter 2 from moving, while the banknote storage device 30 continues to move, so that the roller shutter 2 opens the opening 111. When the banknote storage device 30 is removed from the device, under the action of the elastic force of the first elastic element, the roller shutter moves to the position of closing the opening 111, thus realizing the automatic opening and closing of the roller shutter 2. Preferably, the first elastic element is a tension spring or a torsion spring.

[0058] Alternatively, please refer to Figures 3-5 With the banknote-blocking member 33 movably connected to the support plate 32, the pressure plate 31 is configured to contact the surface of the banknote 100, and the support plate 32 is configured to contact the end face of the banknote 100. The support plate 32 is provided with a direction along the stacking direction of the banknote 100 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 and Figure 5The slide groove 322 extends in the direction indicated by the arrow ab; the banknote blocking component 33 includes a banknote blocking plate 331, which is inserted into the slide groove 322 and can move along the slide groove 322 to extend into or retract from the banknote inlet / outlet 321. Specifically, the banknote blocking plate 331 can slide along the slide groove 322 to have a banknote blocking position extending into the banknote inlet / outlet 321 and a clearance position retracting from the banknote inlet / outlet 321. When the banknote storage device 30 is in standby mode, the banknote blocking plate 331 is in the banknote blocking position; when the banknote storage device 30 is in use mode, the banknote blocking component 33 is in the clearance position. By sliding the banknote blocking plate 331 into the slide groove 322, it can be ensured that the banknote blocking plate 331 can reliably switch between the banknote blocking position and the clearance position.

[0059] It should be noted that the surface of banknote 100 refers to the surface in the thickness direction of banknote 100. Banknote 100 includes both front and back surfaces. The end faces of banknote 100 refer to the surfaces in the length and width directions of banknote 100. Banknote 100 includes two end faces in the length direction and two end faces in the width direction.

[0060] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the support plate 32 is provided with at least two sliding grooves 322 at intervals, and the corresponding banknote blocking component 33 includes at least two banknote blocking plates 331. The at least two banknote blocking plates 331 are inserted and engaged with the at least two sliding grooves 322 in a one-to-one correspondence. This arrangement can make the structural size of the banknote blocking component 33 smaller, thereby reducing costs. At the same time, it can also ensure that the banknotes 100 in the storage box 3 are reliably blocked from being output from the banknote inlet / outlet 321 by the at least two banknote blocking plates 331 located at the banknote blocking position.

[0061] Alternatively, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 The support plate 32 includes a support surface 323 for contacting the end face of the banknote 100; the banknote blocking plate 331 includes a blocking surface 332. When the banknote blocking plate 331 moves along the slide groove 322, the blocking surface 332 does not protrude from the support surface 323. When the banknote storage device 30 is in standby mode, the blocking surface 332 prevents the banknote 100 in the storage box 3 from entering the opening 111 through the banknote inlet / outlet 321. With this configuration, when the banknote blocking plate 331 moves towards the banknote blocking position, the blocking surface 332 will not protrude from the support surface 323, and thus the banknote 100 in the storage box 3 will not cause significant obstruction to the movement of the banknote blocking plate 331, allowing the banknote blocking plate 331 to move smoothly; at the same time, it also allows the end face of the banknote 100 in the storage box 3 to be neatly supported on the support surface 323. Preferably, when the banknote blocking plate 331 moves along the slide groove 322, the blocking surface 332 and the support surface 323 are flush. In other embodiments, when the banknote baffle 331 moves along the slide groove 322, the blocking surface 332 and the supporting surface 323 are spaced apart, so that the blocking surface 332 will not come into contact with the banknotes 100 in the storage box 3.

[0062] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The banknote-blocking component 33 also includes a second elastic component 333. One end of the second elastic component 333 is connected to the banknote-blocking plate 331, and the other end is connected to the support plate 32. The elastic force of the second elastic component 333 ensures that the banknote-blocking plate 331 always has a tendency to extend into and out of the banknote inlet / outlet 321. This arrangement allows the banknote-blocking plate 331 to automatically move to the banknote-blocking position under the elastic force of the second elastic component 333 when the banknote storage device 30 is in standby mode. In other embodiments, the banknote-blocking component 33 may also maintain a tendency to extend into and out of the banknote inlet / outlet 321 under the influence of gravity or magnetic force.

[0063] Alternatively, please refer to Figures 4 to 7 The banknote-blocking component 33 also includes a main body 334 fixedly connected to the banknote-blocking plate 331, the main body 334 having a receiving groove 335; the second elastic member 333 is a compression spring, one end of the compression spring being inserted into the receiving groove 335, and the other end of the compression spring abutting against the support plate 32. This arrangement allows the receiving groove 335 to limit the direction of the elastic deformation of the compression spring, enabling the compression spring to reliably drive the banknote-blocking plate 331 to move towards the banknote-blocking position. Specifically, in this embodiment, the main body 334 is located on the side of the support plate 32 facing away from the support surface 323. In other embodiments, the second elastic member 333 can also be a tension spring.

[0064] Alternatively, please refer to Figures 4 to 7 The banknote blocking component 33 also includes a limiting part 336 fixedly connected to the main body 334, and the support plate 32 also includes a blocking part 324. When the banknote blocking plate 331 extends into the banknote inlet / outlet 321, that is, when the banknote blocking plate 331 is in the banknote blocking position, the blocking part 324 and the limiting part 336 abut against each other to limit the position of the banknote blocking plate 331, so that the banknote blocking plate 331 is reliably stopped in the banknote blocking position.

[0065] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 4 The storage box 3 also includes a sealing plate 40 and a fastener 41. The sealing plate 40 is connected to the support plate 32 via the fastener 41, and the sealing plate 40 is used to close the slot on the side of the slide 322 away from the support surface 323, so that the banknote blocking component 33 can move stably to the banknote blocking position and the avoidance position.

[0066] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 3 , Figures 10 to 12 The storage box 3 also includes a banknote holding plate 34, a cover plate 35, and two limiting plates. The banknote holding plate 34 and the pressure plate 31 are arranged opposite each other along the stacking direction of the banknotes 100, and the banknote holding plate 34 can move closer to or further away from the pressure plate 31 along the stacking direction of the banknotes 100; the cover plate 35 and the support plate 32 are arranged along a first direction (e.g., ...). Figure 3The two limiting plates are set at relative intervals (in the direction indicated by the middle arrow cd); the two limiting plates are set along the second direction (such as...). Figure 3 The banknotes 100 are arranged at relative intervals (as indicated by the arrow ef), and the pressure plate 31, banknote support plate 34, support plate 32, cover plate 35, and two limiting plates together form a receiving space 39 for storing banknotes 100. The first direction is either the width or length direction of the banknotes 100, and the second direction is either the width or length direction of the banknotes 100. This arrangement allows the size of the receiving space 39 to be variable along the stacking direction of the banknotes 100 by moving the banknote support plate 34. Therefore, when it is necessary to fill or remove banknotes 100 from the storage box 3, the size of the receiving space 39 can be adapted to the size of the remaining banknotes 100 in the storage box 3 by moving the banknote support plate 34 along the stacking direction of the banknotes 100, so that the banknotes 100 are neatly stacked within the receiving space 39. In this embodiment, an exemplary configuration is provided where the first direction is the width direction of the banknote 100 and the second direction is the length direction of the banknote 100. When the banknote-supporting plate 34 approaches the pressure plate 31 along the stacking direction of the banknotes 100, the banknote-supporting plate 34 presses the banknotes 100 against the pressure plate 31, the pressure plate 31 contacts the surface of the banknotes 100, and the support plate 32 contacts the long side of the banknotes 100. Preferably, the storage box 3 also includes a bottom plate 38, which is spaced apart from the pressure plate 31 along the stacking direction of the banknotes 100. The banknote-supporting plate 34 moves between the bottom plate 38 and the pressure plate 31. The two ends of the support plate 32 are connected to the pressure plate 31 and the bottom plate 38, respectively, and the movement range of the banknote-supporting plate 34 can be limited by the bottom plate 38 and the pressure plate 31. In other embodiments, the first direction can also be the length direction of the banknotes 100 and the second direction can be the width direction of the banknotes 100.

[0067] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 12 The support plate 32 is fixedly connected to the first housing 11, and the cover plate 35 is connected to the second housing 12. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are separated, the accommodating space 39 can be exposed, making it convenient to fill the accommodating space 39 with banknotes 100 or remove the banknotes 100 from the accommodating space 39.

[0068] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 12 The cover plate 35 is tunably connected to the second housing 12 along the first direction. When the position of the cover plate 35 is adjusted, the distance between the cover plate 35 and the support plate 32 can be adjusted to accommodate banknotes 100 with different widths.

[0069] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11Both limiting plates are adjustablely connected to the pressure plate 31 and / or the support plate 32 along the second direction, thus allowing the spacing between the two limiting plates to be adjusted along the second direction to accommodate banknotes 100 of different lengths. Specifically, this embodiment exemplarily provides a scheme in which both limiting plates are adjustablely connected to the pressure plate 31 and the support plate 32 along the second direction. The pressure plate 31 is provided with a plurality of first positioning grooves 311 and a plurality of second positioning grooves 312 spaced apart along the second direction. The two limiting plates are a first limiting plate 36 and a second limiting plate 37, respectively. The first limiting plate 36 is selectively inserted into one of the plurality of first positioning grooves 311 along the stacking direction of the banknotes 100, and the second limiting plate 37 is selectively inserted into one of the plurality of second positioning grooves 312 along the stacking direction of the banknotes 100. The support plate 32 is provided with a plurality of first positioning holes 325 and a plurality of second positioning holes 326 spaced apart along the second direction. The plurality of first positioning holes 325 are paired with the plurality of first positioning grooves 311, and the plurality of second positioning holes 326 are paired with the plurality of second positioning grooves 312. The first limiting plate 36 is selectively inserted into one of the plurality of first positioning holes 325 along the first direction, and the second limiting plate 37 is selectively inserted into one of the plurality of second positioning holes 326 along the first direction. In other embodiments, both limiting plates may be adjustablely connected to the pressure plate 31 along the second direction, or both limiting plates may be adjustablely connected to the support plate 32 along the second direction.

[0070] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 The banknote blocking element 33 is located at the center of the two limiting plates; or, the storage box 3 includes two banknote blocking elements 33, which are symmetrically arranged about the center of the two limiting plates.

[0071] As an alternative, the support plate 32 is provided with multiple grooves 322 extending along the stacking direction of the banknotes 100. The banknote blocking component 33 includes a banknote blocking plate 331 and multiple inserts fixedly connected to the banknote blocking plate 331. The multiple inserts are inserted into the multiple grooves 322 in a one-to-one correspondence. The width of the banknote blocking plate 331 matches the distance between the two limiting plates. This arrangement allows the banknote blocking plate 331 to completely close the banknote inlet / outlet 321 when it is in the banknote blocking position, thus more reliably preventing the banknotes 100 in the storage box 3 from being output through the banknote inlet / outlet 321.

[0072] As an alternative, with the banknote-blocking component 33 movably connected to the pressure plate 31, the first end of the banknote-blocking component 33 is pivotally connected to the pressure plate 31, and the second end of the banknote-blocking component 33 always has a tendency to rotate around the first end of the banknote-blocking component 33 toward the support plate 32 to extend into the banknote inlet / outlet 321. With this configuration, by rotating the banknote-blocking component 33 relative to the pressure plate 31, the banknote-blocking component 33 can extend into or retract from the banknote inlet / outlet 321.

[0073] Optionally, when the banknote-blocking component 33 is movably connected to the pressure plate 31, the banknote-blocking component 33 includes a baffle and a third elastic member. The first end of the baffle is rotatably connected to the pressure plate 31, and the second end of the banknote-blocking component 33 can rotate around the first end of the baffle. The first end of the third elastic member is connected to the baffle, and the second end of the third elastic member is connected to the pressure plate 31. The elastic force of the third elastic member causes the second end of the baffle to always have a rotational tendency to turn towards the support plate 32 to enter the banknote inlet / outlet 321. Further optionally, the first end of the baffle is rotatably connected to the pressure plate 31 via a rotating shaft, and the third elastic member is a torsion spring sleeved on the rotating shaft. In other embodiments, the banknote-blocking component 33 can also be configured as a spring plate, the first end of which is connected to the pressure plate 31, and the second end of which always has a tendency to turn towards the support plate 32 to extend into the banknote inlet / outlet 321.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 12 This embodiment also provides a banknote processing device, which includes a frame 10, a banknote collection / separation device 20, and a banknote storage device 30. The banknote collection / separation device 20 is installed on the frame 10 and includes a trigger 201. When the banknote storage device 30 is installed on the frame 10, the banknote storage device 30 is in use. The banknote collection / separation device 20 extends into the banknote storage device 30 through the opening 111, and the trigger 201 passes through the banknote inlet / outlet 321 and drives the banknote blocking device 33 to exit the banknote inlet / outlet 321. The banknote processing device provided in this embodiment applies a force to the banknote blocking member 33 through the trigger member 201 on the banknote collection / separation device 20, driving the banknote blocking member 33 to exit the banknote inlet / outlet 321, so that the banknote collection / separation device 20 can transport the banknote 100 through the opening 111 and the banknote inlet / outlet 321 into the storage box 3, or the banknote collection / separation device 20 can output the banknote 100 in the storage box 3 through the banknote inlet / outlet 321 and the opening 111.

[0075] Alternatively, please continue to refer to Figure 9 and Figure 12The banknote collection / separation device 20 includes a banknote kicking roller 202, a banknote separating roller 205, a banknote blocking roller 208, and a motor (not shown in the attached drawings). The banknote kicking roller 202 passes through the pressure plate 31 and extends into the storage box 3. The banknote kicking roller 202 is used to drive the banknotes 100 in the storage box 3 to move towards the banknote inlet / outlet 321. Along the direction of banknotes 100 output from the storage box 3, the banknote separating roller 205 is located downstream of the banknote kicking roller 202. The banknote separating roller 205 is used to drive the banknotes 100 driven by the banknote kicking roller 202 to be output from the banknote inlet / outlet 321. The banknote blocking roller 208 and the banknote separating roller 205 are arranged opposite to each other. The banknote blocking roller 208 is used to prevent overlapping banknotes 100 from being output from the banknote inlet / outlet 321. The motor is connected to the banknote kicking roller 202 and the banknote separating roller 205 for transmission, and the motor is used to drive the banknote kicking roller 202 and the banknote separating roller 205 to rotate. The trigger member 201 is a rotating member sleeved on the banknote blocking roller 208, and the rotating member can rotate relative to the banknote blocking roller 208. When the banknote storage device 30 is in use, the rotating member abuts against the banknote blocking member 33 and drives the banknote blocking member 33 to exit the banknote inlet / outlet 321. In this embodiment, the banknote blocking member 33 is driven to exit the banknote inlet / outlet 321 by the rotating member. Since the rotating member can rotate relative to the banknote blocking roller 208, motion interference can be avoided, so as to ensure the smooth movement of the banknote blocking member 33.

[0076] Alternatively, please continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The banknote blocking component 33 also includes an abutment portion 337, which is fixedly connected to the end of the banknote blocking plate 331 along the direction of movement of the banknote blocking component 33 toward the pressure plate 31. The abutment portion 337 is used to abut against the rotating component. Further optionally, the abutment portion 337 is arc-shaped, with the radius of the arc matching the radius of the rotating component. This arrangement provides a larger abutment area when the abutment portion 337 abuts against the rotating component, ensuring that the rotating component can reliably drive the banknote blocking component 33 out of the banknote inlet / outlet 321. Preferably, the rotating component is a bearing. The banknote blocking roller 208 includes a banknote blocking core shaft 209 that can rotate relative to the frame 10 and a banknote blocking wheel 210 fixedly sleeved on the banknote blocking core shaft 209. The bearing is sleeved on the banknote blocking core shaft 209 and can rotate around the banknote blocking core shaft 209.

[0077] Alternatively, please continue to refer to Figure 12 The banknote kicking roller 202 includes a banknote kicking core shaft 203 that can rotate relative to the frame 10 and a banknote kicking wheel 204 fixedly sleeved on the banknote kicking core shaft 203. The banknote kicking wheel 204 extends into the storage box 3 through the clearance groove 313 on the pressure plate 31. The banknote sorting roller 205 includes a banknote sorting core shaft 206 that can rotate relative to the frame 10 and a banknote sorting wheel 207 fixedly sleeved on the banknote sorting core shaft 206.
