Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of financial equipment technology, and in particular relates to a cash dispensing device and financial processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] When using self-service financial devices, it is often necessary to meet various requirements such as automatic counterfeit detection, collection, and change dispensing of financial media. However, currently, there is often a structural gap between the door and the shell of the cash dispensing device of self-service financial devices. This gap makes it easy for financial media to get caught in the gap when dispensing cash, which in turn causes the financial media to curl or wrinkle when the door is opened, resulting in inconvenience in retrieving cash.

[0020] The embodiments of this application 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 application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0021] The following is for reference. Figures 1-12 The cash dispensing device according to the embodiments of this application is described. The cash dispensing device includes a housing 100 and a door 200. The housing 100 forms a receiving cavity for receiving financial medium 10. The receiving cavity has a cash inlet and a cash outlet 101. The door 200 is installed on the housing 100 in an openable and closable manner and has a first closed state and a first open state for closing or opening the cash outlet 101.

[0022] For example, when the door 200 is in the first closed state, it is used to close the cash dispensing slot 101; when the door 200 is in the first open state, it is used to open the cash dispensing slot 101.

[0023] It should be noted that the size and shape of the receiving cavity, the banknote inlet, and the banknote outlet 101 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on them.

[0024] In actual operation, after receiving the cash dispensing instruction, the financial processing equipment drives the financial medium 10 to enter the receiving cavity through the cash inlet via the built-in transmission channel, and then drives the door 200 to switch from the first closed state to the first open state so that the user can take out the financial medium 10 through the cash dispensing port 101.

[0025] It should be noted that financial medium 10 includes, but is not limited to, banknotes, checks, bills, and gift certificates.

[0026] In related technologies, the door of the cash dispensing device is often closed by the rotation of a motor. It lacks effective mechanical rigid linkage, resulting in a certain gap between the door and the housing. This makes it difficult to resist external prying forces, which seriously affects the reliability of the equipment.

[0027] To solve the above technical problems, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cash dispensing device also includes a mating component 310, a locking component 320, and a drive module. The mating component 310 is disposed on the door body 200. The locking component 320 is movably disposed on the housing 100 and has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the door body 200 is in a first closed state, it is in the locked state and locked in cooperation with the mating component 310. When the door body 200 is in a first open state, it is suitable to be in the unlocked state and unlocked in cooperation with the mating component 310. The drive module is disposed between the housing 100 and the locking component 320 and is used to drive the locking component 320 to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state.

[0028] Understandably, after the door 200 switches from the first open state to the first closed state to close the cash dispensing slot 101, the locking member 320 is locked and engages with the mating member 310 located on the door 200. This increases the connection strength between the door 200 and the housing 100 and reduces the clearance between them, effectively resisting the physical attacks required to pry open the door 200 and improving the anti-theft capability of the cash dispensing device. When the locking member 320 is unlocked and engages with the mating member 310, the door 200 switches from the first closed state to the first open state to open the cash dispensing slot 101, enabling the normal cash dispensing function of the device. Furthermore, by controlling the switching of the locking member 320 between the locked and unlocked states through the drive module, the automation and reliability of the state switching of the cash dispensing device are improved, thus enhancing the operational stability of the device.

[0029] According to the cash dispensing device provided in the embodiments of this application, by setting the above-mentioned mating part 310, locking part 320 and driving module, a locking structure is added to the original door opening system to ensure that the locking part 320 must be unlocked before opening the cash dispensing port 101, thereby enhancing the anti-vandalism and anti-theft capabilities of the cash dispensing device and improving the reliability of the cash dispensing device.

[0030] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fitting 310 is located on the side of the door 200 away from the cash dispensing port 101 to serve a concealing function, improve anti-theft performance, and reduce interference with the financial medium 10.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the drive module includes an electromagnet 410 and a power supply. The electromagnet 410 is disposed in the housing 100, and the power supply is connected to the electromagnet 410 to form a circuit; wherein, When the electromagnet 410 is energized, it is magnetically connected to the locking member 320 and drives the locking member 320 to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state. When the power is off, the electromagnet 410 disengages from the locking member 320 and drives the locking member 320 to switch from the unlocked state to the locked state.

[0032] Understandably, the power supply controls the on / off state of the electromagnet 410 through a circuit to switch the locking element 320 between the unlocked and locked states. Specifically, when the circuit is open, the electromagnet 410 is energized and generates electromagnetic force, thereby driving the locking element 320 from the locked state to the unlocked state; when the circuit is closed, the electromagnet 410 is de-energized and loses its magnetism, thus switching the locking element 320 from the unlocked state to the locked state. Utilizing the rapid engagement and disengagement response of the electromagnet 410, the efficiency and accuracy of opening and closing the banknote dispensing slot 101 can be improved. Furthermore, using the electromagnet 410 to directly drive the movement of the locking element 320 eliminates the need for a traditional mechanical transmission mechanism, simplifying the structure of the banknote dispensing device and improving its reliability and maintenance efficiency.

[0033] In some embodiments, the drive module may further include an adjustment element electrically connected to the electromagnet 410 to adjust the current input to the power supply electromagnetic drive 510, thereby improving the control accuracy and adaptability of the locking force and increasing the compatibility and flexibility of the banknote dispensing device. The adjustment element includes, but is not limited to, a variable resistor or a digital potentiometer.

[0034] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 100 includes a connected outer shell 110 and a mounting base 120. The outer shell 110 forms a receiving cavity, and the electromagnet 410 is mounted on the mounting base 120. The connection between the mounting base 120 and the outer shell 110 includes, but is not limited to, threaded connection or welding.

[0035] For example, the electromagnet 410 is mounted on the lower surface of the mounting base 120 and located above the door 200, thereby improving the compactness of the banknote dispensing device in the vertical direction.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, one of the locking member 320 and the mating member 310 is provided with a groove 311, and the other of the locking member 320 and the mating member 310 is provided with a locking hook 3201, which hooks into the groove 311. It should be noted that the size and shape of the groove 311 and the locking hook 3201 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on them.

[0037] Understandably, when the door 200 is in the first closed state, the locking member 320 and the mating member 310 achieve a locking engagement through the hook between the locking hook 3201 and the groove 311, so that the prying force on the door 200 is converted into positive pressure between the locking hook 3201 and the inner wall of the groove 311, thereby improving the mechanical interlock strength and increasing the efficiency of locking or disengaging the locking member 320 and the mating member 310.

[0038] For example, such as Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the groove 311 is provided on the mating part 310, and the groove opening of the groove 311 is away from the banknote outlet 101. The locking hook 3201 is provided on the locking part 320. That is, when the door 200 is pried from the banknote outlet 101, the force applied to the door 200 will try to pull the door 200 away from the banknote outlet 101, thereby strengthening the tightness of the locking hook 3201 between the groove 311, forming a self-tightening effect and improving the reliability of the banknote dispensing device.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the locking member 320 has a first inclined surface 3202, which is located on the side of the locking engagement between the locking member 320 and the mating member 310 away from the banknote outlet 101. The mating member 310 has a second inclined surface 312, and the first inclined surface 3202 is adapted to slide into contact with the second inclined surface 312 in the unlocked state. It should be noted that the shape and size of the first inclined surface 3202 and the second inclined surface 312 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on them.

[0040] Understandably, during the opening and closing of the door 200, the phased sliding engagement between the first inclined surface 3202 and the second inclined surface 312 guides the relative movement between the mating part 310 and the locking part 320, and guides the smoothness of the hook engagement between the locking hook 3201 and the groove 311. At the same time, it reduces the possibility of interference between the locking part 320 and the mating part 310 during the switching of the door 200, and improves the reliability of the cash dispensing device.

[0041] For example, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the first inclined surface 3202 slopes upward from front to back to accommodate the sliding of the door 200 relative to the housing 100.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the locking element 320 is rotatably disposed on the housing 100.

[0043] Understandably, compared to the linear reciprocating motion of the locking member 320 in other embodiments, the rotational connection between the connecting shaft 321 and the housing 100 increases the effective locking stroke while making the structure of the banknote dispensing device more compact, helping to meet the requirements of miniaturization and integration. Furthermore, the smaller rotation angle required for the locking member 320 to switch states reduces the load and power requirements of the drive module, improving mechanical efficiency and locking stability. In addition, the sliding fit between the first inclined surface 3202 and the second inclined surface 312 generates synergistic efficiency, reduces wear, and improves the smoothness of state switching.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the end of the locking member 320 furthest from the cash dispensing slot 101 is always lower than the end of the locking member 320 closest to the cash dispensing slot 101; wherein, In the locked state, the end of the locking member 320 away from the banknote outlet 101 is locked in place with the mating member 310 and disengaged from the electromagnet 410. In the unlocked state, the end of the locking member 320 away from the banknote dispensing port 101 disengages from the mating member 310 and becomes magnetically connected to the electromagnet 410. Thus, when the electromagnet 410 is de-energized, the locking member 320 is kept in the locked state by its own weight, reducing energy consumption, simplifying the structure of the banknote dispensing device, and improving the reliability of the banknote dispensing device.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, the locking member 320 includes a main body 322 and a support arm 323. One end of the support arm 323 is connected to the main body 322 and is rotatably connected to the housing 100 via a connecting shaft 321. The other end is detachably connected to the drive module and the mating member 310, respectively.

[0046] It is understandable that the support arm 323 rotates around the connecting shaft 321 as the rotation center. That is, the end of the support arm 323 away from the main body 322 is hooked with the mating part 310 through the groove 311 and disengaged from the electromagnet 410 in the locked state. In the unlocked state, it is disengaged from the mating part 310 and magnetically connected to the electromagnet 410, thereby improving the force transmission efficiency and the response speed of state switching.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, there are two support arms 323, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 321 to increase the contact area with the mating part 310 and improve the reliability of locking.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1, Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the banknote dispensing device also includes a third reset member 420, which is disposed between the locking member 320 and the housing 100, and is used to drive the locking member 320 to switch from the unlocked state to the locked state without external force. The third reset member 420 includes, but is not limited to, a spring.

[0049] Understandably, the third reset element 420 continuously applies a unidirectional force to the locking element 320 to further improve the reliability of locking. Simultaneously, the electromagnet 410 is energized to overcome the force of the third reset element 420 and drive the locking element 320 to switch to the unlocked state. When the electromagnet 410 is de-energized, the force of the third reset element 420 can be used to quickly switch the locking element 320 to the locked state, improving switching efficiency. Furthermore, considering the sliding fit between the first inclined surface 3202 and the second inclined surface 312, the third reset element 420 can also facilitate a floating guide effect on the rotation of the locking element 320 when the door 200 moves, achieving smooth relative movement between the two and improving the reliability of the banknote dispensing device.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the main body 322 is connected to the third reset member 420, and the length between the connection between the main body 322 and the third reset member 420 and the connecting shaft 321 is less than the length between the mating part of the support arm 323 and the mating part 310 and the connecting shaft 321.

[0051] Understandably, based on the lever principle, the third reset component 420 can save effort, enabling a larger locking force to be maintained between the groove 311 and the locking hook 3201 with a smaller force, thereby improving the service life of the third reset component 420.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the door 200 is slidably disposed on the housing 100.

[0053] Understandably, during the transition from the first closed state to the first open state, the door 200 moves towards the cash inlet and away from the cash outlet 101; similarly, during the transition from the first open state to the first closed state, the door 200 moves towards the cash outlet 101 and away from the cash inlet. Compared to a door 200 that relies on hinge rotation, this provides better overall rigidity and stability. Furthermore, the groove 311's opening is aligned parallel to the sliding direction of the door 200, which improves anti-pry performance and enhances the security of the cash dispensing device.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rotation axis of the locking member 320 intersects the sliding direction of the door body 200, so that the locking member 320 and the mating member 310 are locked together in the first closed state from a geometrical point of view, and the force transmission path is optimized, thereby improving the positioning accuracy between the two.

[0055] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the axial direction of the connecting shaft 321 is parallel to the left and right direction, and the projection of the sliding direction of the door body 200 on the horizontal plane is parallel to the front and back direction. That is, the cash outlet 101 is located at the front end of the receiving cavity, and the cash inlet is located at the rear end of the receiving cavity.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the housing 100 is provided with a sliding groove 102, and the door 200 slides in conjunction with the sliding groove 102 to guide the sliding of the door 200. It should be noted that the shape and size of the sliding groove 102 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on it.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the outer casing 110 has a sliding groove 102 extending in the front-back direction. Sliding shafts 201 extend from both sides of the door body 200 and both sides of the mating parts 310. The sliding shafts 201 and the sliding groove 102 are in rolling engagement to reduce friction and extend the service life of the banknote dispensing device.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the banknote dispensing device further includes a drive unit 510, a transmission shaft 520, a driven shaft 530, a first synchronous pulley 540, a second synchronous pulley 550, and a synchronous belt 560. The fixed end of the drive unit 510 is disposed in the housing 100; the transmission shaft 520 is rotatably disposed in the housing 100 and connected to the output end of the drive unit 510; the driven shaft 530 is spaced apart from the transmission shaft 520 and rotatably disposed in the housing 100; the first synchronous pulley 540 is sleeved on the outside of the transmission shaft 520, and the second synchronous pulley 550 is sleeved on the outside of the driven shaft 530; the synchronous belt 560 is respectively wound around the first synchronous pulley 540 and the second synchronous pulley 550 and connected to the door body 200. For example, the drive unit 510 may include, but is not limited to, a servo motor.

[0059] It is understandable that the drive shaft 520 rotates relative to the housing 100 based on the output torque of the drive component 510, and the driven shaft 530 rotates synchronously relative to the housing 100 through the cooperation of the timing belt 560 pulley and the timing belt 560. At the same time, the door 200 slides relative to the housing 100 with the timing belt 560, realizing the switching between the first open state and the first closed state of the door 200.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the synchronous belt 560 is connected to the door body 200 via the mating part 310. Of course, in other embodiments, the synchronous belt 560 can also be directly connected to the door body 200, and this embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the drive shaft 520 is provided with a plurality of first synchronous pulleys 540 spaced apart along the axial direction, the driven shaft 530 is provided with a plurality of second synchronous pulleys 550 spaced apart along the axial direction, and the synchronous belt 560 is provided with a plurality of belts corresponding to the first synchronous pulleys 540 and the second synchronous pulleys 550 respectively, so as to increase the smoothness of sliding of the door body 200 and the mating parts 310.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the banknote dispensing device also includes a one-way transmission assembly and a second reset member 580. The transmission shaft 520 is adapted to be poweredly coupled to the drive member 510 through the one-way transmission assembly, and is used to drive the door 200 to switch from the first closed state to the first open state. The second reset member 580 is connected to the door 200 and the housing 100 respectively, and is used to drive the door 200 to switch from the first open state to the first closed state.

[0063] Understandably, the one-way transmission assembly only allows the drive member 510 to transmit power to the drive shaft 520 in one direction to drive the door 200 to open the cash dispensing slot 101. In the opposite direction, the one-way transmission assembly cuts off the power of the drive member 510, and uses the unidirectional force provided by the second reset member 580 to drive the door 200 to close the cash dispensing slot 101. The smaller force and buffering characteristics of the second reset member 580 itself can reduce the risk of pinching fingers and improve the safety of the cash dispensing device.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the second reset member 580 is connected to the door body 200 via the mating member 310. Of course, in other embodiments, the second reset member 580 may also be directly connected to the door body 200; this embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the one-way transmission assembly includes a one-way bearing 571, a first transmission gear 572, and a second transmission gear 573. The inner ring of the one-way bearing 571 is sleeved on the output shaft of the drive member 510; the first transmission gear 572 is sleeved on the outer ring of the one-way bearing 571; the second transmission gear 573 meshes with the first transmission gear 572 and is sleeved on the outside of the transmission shaft 520.

[0066] It should be noted that the one-way bearing 571 refers to a mechanical transmission basic component that can only transmit power in a single direction, either clockwise or counterclockwise. When the driving component 510 drives the one-way bearing 571, it can only transmit power in one direction. If the driving component 510 changes direction, such as from clockwise to counterclockwise, the one-way bearing 571 will automatically disengage and will not generate any power transmission function.

[0067] It is understandable that the output shaft of the drive component 510 drives the outer ring of the one-way bearing 571 clockwise (e.g., ...). Figure 6 When the door 200 rotates (in the direction of the arrow shown), the inner and outer rings of the one-way bearing 571 are relatively stationary, transmitting power to the coaxial first transmission gear 572. The second transmission gear 573 meshes with the first transmission gear 572 to transmit power to the transmission shaft 520, thus switching the door 200 from the first closed state to the first open state. Simultaneously, during this process, the second reset member 580 stores energy as the mating member 310 moves. Conversely, when the output shaft of the drive member 510 drives the outer ring of the one-way bearing 571 to rotate counterclockwise, the inner and outer rings of the one-way bearing 571 are relatively rotating, thus preventing power transmission to the transmission shaft 520. Simultaneously, during this process, the rebound force of the second reset member 580 drives the driven shaft 530 to rotate, thus switching the door 200 from the first open state to the first closed state.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, one of the outer ring of the one-way bearing 571 and the first transmission gear 572 is provided with a positioning groove, and the other is provided with a positioning block. The positioning block and the positioning groove are engaged, thereby improving the connection strength between the outer ring and the first transmission gear 572 and improving the reliability of synchronous rotation. It should be noted that the number and formation of the positioning grooves can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this. For example, three positioning grooves are provided.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the second reset member 580 includes a mounting shaft, a limiting member 581, and an elastic member 582. The mounting shaft is rotatably mounted on the housing 100. The limiting member 581 is sleeved outside the mounting shaft, and a limiting groove is provided circumferentially on the outer side wall of the limiting member 581. One end of the elastic member 582 is connected to the housing 100, and the other end is connected to the mating member 310, with a portion of the elastic member 582 disposed within the limiting groove. The elastic member 582 includes, but is not limited to, a spring. The limiting member 581 includes, but is not limited to, a roller.

[0070] It is understandable that the mounting shaft provides a rotation fulcrum, and the limiting member 581 sleeved outside the mounting shaft limits the elastic member 582 along the axial direction, thereby guiding the deformation of the elastic member 582 to maintain the constant and stable reset torque.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting shaft is provided with multiple limiting members 581 at intervals along its axial direction, and multiple elastic members 582 are provided and correspond one to one, thereby improving the smoothness of the sliding of the door body 200 and the mating member 310 during the closing process.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting shaft and the connecting shaft 321 are coaxial, that is, the mounting shaft and the connecting shaft 321 are integrated, so that the locking member 320 and the limiting member 581 share the same shaft, thereby reducing the number of parts and increasing the compactness and reliability of the banknote dispensing device.

[0073] In related technologies, there is often a structural gap between the door and the housing of the cash dispensing device, which makes it easy for the financial medium to be caught in the gap when dispensing cash. As a result, when the door is opened, the financial medium will be rolled or wrinkled, causing inconvenience in taking cash.

[0074] To solve the above problems, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the banknote dispensing device also includes a stop member 600, which is movably disposed in the housing 100 and has a second closed state and a second open state; wherein, The stop 600 is in the second closed state and located in the receiving cavity. The side of the stop 600 away from the door 200 is adapted to abut against the financial medium 10. The stop 600 is in the second open state to avoid the cash outlet 101.

[0075] Understandably, when the door 200 is in its first closed state, the second closed state of the stop 600 prevents the financial medium 10 from continuing to slide towards the cash dispensing port 101, reducing the possibility of the financial medium 10 entering the gap between the door 200 and the housing 100. This also provides a certain degree of anti-theft function after the door 200 is pried open, improving the reliability of the cash dispensing device. When the door 200 is in its first open state, the second open state of the stop 600 prevents the financial medium 10 from being discharged from the cash dispensing port 101.

[0076] According to the cash dispensing device provided in the embodiments of this application, by setting the stop 600 as described above, a physical barrier is added inside the receiving cavity on the basis of the original door opening system, which eliminates the problem of cash jamming in the door 200 from the source and improves the reliability of the cash dispensing device.

[0077] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, when the door 200 is in the first closed state, it abuts against the stop member 600; when the door 200 is in the first open state, it disengages from the stop member 600. The cash dispensing device also includes a first reset member 700, which is connected to both the housing 100 and the stop member 600, and is used to drive the stop member 600 to switch from the second closed state to the second open state. The first reset member 700 includes, but is not limited to, a spring.

[0078] Understandably, when the door 200 is in the first closed state, it engages with the stop 600 to force the stop 600 to remain in the second closed state, while the first reset member 700 is in an energy-storing state. During the transition from the first closed state to the first open state, the door 200 gradually disengages from the stop 600, and simultaneously, under the action of the first reset member 700, it drives the stop 600 to gradually switch to the second open state. This linkage between the door 200 and the stop 600 simplifies the control logic for state switching and improves the reliability of the cash dispensing device.

[0079] It should be noted that, as Figure 12 As shown, the dashed line represents the stop 600 being in the second open state.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the stop 600 and the housing 100 are rotatably connected, and the axis of rotation between the stop 600 and the housing 100 intersects with the distribution direction of the banknote inlet and the banknote outlet 101.

[0081] It is understandable that, compared to the sliding connection between the stop 600 and the housing 100 in other embodiments, the stop 600 and the housing 100 are rotatably connected, which allows the stop 600 to rotate above the financial medium 10 in the second open state to improve the avoidance effect, improve the reliability of cash dispensing, increase the structural compactness of the cash dispensing device, and optimize the spatial layout.

[0082] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the banknote dispensing device also includes a rotating shaft 800, which is rotatably mounted on the housing 100 and passes through the stop member 600. The end of the first reset member 700 away from the housing 100 is connected to the rotating shaft 800; wherein, When the stop 600 is in the second open state, the end of the stop 600 away from the rotating shaft 800 extends out of the receiving cavity.

[0083] Understandably, when the stop 600 is in the second closed state, the end of the stop 600 away from the rotating shaft 800 abuts against the financial medium 10 in the receiving cavity; when the stop 600 is in the second open state, the rotating shaft 800 is moved away from the receiving cavity and extends outward under the action of the first reset member 700. This not only avoids the cash dispensing port 101, but also facilitates the gradual decrease or increase of the contact area between the door body 200 and the stop 600 during the switching process between the first closed state and the first open state, so as to push the stop 600 to switch synchronously between the second closed state and the second open state. This realizes the gradual linkage between the door body 200 and the stop 600, improves the smoothness of force transmission, and increases the reliability of the cash dispensing device.

[0084] For example, the axis of the rotating shaft 800 is parallel to the left-right direction.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the cash dispensing device also includes an adapter 900, which is sleeved outside the rotating shaft 800 and connected to the first reset component 700.

[0086] Understandably, by adding the adapter 900, an independent point of force is provided for the first reset component 700, and the machining of the rotating shaft 800 is reduced, which facilitates maintenance, reduces manufacturing costs, and also reduces the possibility of interference with other components of the banknote dispensing device.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, both ends of the rotating shaft 800 extend outside the housing 100 and are fitted with adapters 900. Two first reset members 700 are provided and correspond to the adapters 900, thereby improving the stability of the rotation of the rotating shaft 800 and the uniformity of the force.

[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the adapter 900 includes a first plate 910 and a second plate 920. The first plate 910 has a first hole and a second hole, through which the rotating shaft 800 passes. One end of the first reset member 700 is connected to the second hole. The second plate 920 is connected to the first plate 910 at an angle and has a third hole. One end of the fixing member passes through the third hole and is connected to the rotating shaft 800. The fixing member includes, but is not limited to, screws or pins.

[0089] Understandably, the first plate 910 is fitted outside the rotating shaft 800 to transmit torque and connect the reset component; the second plate 920 is set at an angle to the first plate 910 to provide overall strength to the adapter 900 while adding additional constraints to ensure that the adapter 900 and the rotating shaft 800 always move synchronously, thereby improving the reliability of the banknote dispensing device.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the first plate 910 and the second plate 920 are set at right angles, that is, the adapter 900 has an L-shaped structure, which improves the structural strength and deformation resistance of the adapter 900.

[0091] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the stop member 600 includes a connecting portion 610 and two spaced-apart stop portions 620. The connecting portion 610 is movably connected to the housing 100. One end of each stop portion 620 is connected to the connecting portion 610, and the other end extends along the direction close to the banknote outlet 101 and is adapted to abut against the financial medium 10. It should be noted that the distance between the stop portions 620 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0092] It is understandable that the connecting part 610 and the two spaced-apart stop parts 620 make the stop part 600 have a U-shaped structure, that is, the rotating shaft 800 passes through the connecting part 610, and the gap between the two stop parts 620 forms a guide channel, so as to regulate the front end of the financial medium 10, and provide stability and balance of the blocking force, reduce the risk of deflection or curling of the financial medium 10, and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the stop 600 has an arc segment, and the center of curvature of the arc segment faces into the receiving cavity.

[0094] It is understandable that the stop part 620 abuts and engages with the door body 200 and the financial medium 10 respectively through the arc segment. At the same time, the center of curvature of the arc segment faces into the receiving cavity. This not only provides a centripetal guiding force to the financial medium 10 to guide the financial medium 10 to the middle of the receiving cavity, effectively improving the neatness of the financial medium 10 in the receiving cavity, but also disperses stress and increases the contact area, thus protecting the door body 200 and the financial medium 10.

[0095] For example, such as Figure 11 As shown, the portion of the stop portion 620 away from the connecting portion 610 has an arc segment.

[0096] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the lower surface of the receiving cavity near the banknote outlet 101 has a guide surface 103, which slopes upward from back to front. It should be noted that the size and shape of the guide surface 103 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on it.

[0097] Understandably, by setting the guide surface 103 to provide an upward thrust for the dispensing of the financial medium 10, the user's cash dispensing efficiency is improved. The movement trajectory of the front end of the financial medium 10 is raised, thereby changing its height position when it contacts the stop member 600, improving the sufficiency of contact between the financial medium 10 and the stop member 600, or the height position of contact with the door 200 when the stop member 600 is not set, thereby reducing the possibility of the financial medium 10 getting stuck between the door 200 and the receiving cavity gap, and improving the reliability of the cash dispensing device.

[0098] This application also provides a financial processing device. This financial processing device includes the aforementioned cash dispensing device.

[0099] According to the financial processing equipment provided in the embodiments of this application, by adding a stopper 600 to the cash dispensing device, a physical barrier is added to the original door opening system, eliminating the possibility of cash jamming at the door 100 from the source and improving the reliability of the cash dispensing device. It should be noted that financial equipment includes, but is not limited to, ATMs, self-service terminals, banknote counting machines, sorting machines, and banknote bundling machines.
