Description

Financial Equipment Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of financial equipment, and in particular relates to a financial equipment. Background Art

[0002] The note-pressing and note-feeding mechanisms in an ATM (Automated Teller Machine) are crucial components for depositing and withdrawing money, ensuring that banknotes can enter and exit the ATM smoothly and accurately. When a banknote is placed into the ATM's deposit slot, the note-pressing plate approaches the note-pushing plate to clamp and secure the banknote, allowing it to be smoothly pushed into the ATM for counting and inspection. However, if there are too many banknotes at the deposit slot, excess banknotes may remain after counting. At this point, the note-pressing mechanism moves a distance away from the note-pushing plate, causing the banknotes to slide downward, forming an inclined position. This makes it difficult for users to directly notice the banknotes in the deposit slot, potentially leading to them forgetting to remove the banknotes, compromising safety.

[0003] Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present application aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present application proposes a financial device in which a banknote pushing mechanism is movably arranged on a banknote feeding mechanism. When the banknote pressing mechanism moves away from the banknote feeding mechanism to release the financial medium after storing and counting the financial medium, the banknote pushing mechanism pushes the financial medium in the space toward the banknote pressing mechanism, thereby causing the financial medium originally tilted toward the banknote feeding mechanism to move to abut against the banknote pressing mechanism. This allows the user to intuitively notice whether there is any financial medium in the storage space, thereby minimizing the possibility of the user forgetting to remove the financial medium, and improving the safety and reliability of the use of the financial device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.

[0045] The following describes a financial device provided in an embodiment of the present application with reference to FIG1 to FIG8 . The financial device includes a box body 100 , a banknote pressing mechanism 200 , a banknote feeding mechanism 300 , and a banknote pushing mechanism 400 .

[0046] It should be noted that financial equipment includes but is not limited to ATMs, self-service terminals, money counting machines, sorting machines and money bundling machines.

[0047] The material of the box 100 includes but is not limited to stainless steel, aluminum alloy or titanium alloy, etc. It should be noted that the size and shape of the box 100 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0048] The banknote pressing mechanism 200 is movably disposed on the box body 100 .

[0049] It is understandable that, since the banknote pressing mechanism 200 is movable, it can be adaptively adjusted according to the size, thickness and quantity of different financial media 900, thereby improving the versatility and adaptability of the financial device.

[0050] It should be noted that financial media 900 includes but is not limited to banknotes, checks, bills, and gift certificates.

[0051] The banknote feeding mechanism 300 is movably disposed on the box body 100 , and an accommodating space with a banknote placement port is formed between the banknote pressing mechanism 200 , the banknote feeding mechanism 300 and the box body 100 .

[0052] It is understood that when the user needs to deposit money, the note pressing mechanism 200 moves away from the note feeding mechanism 300 to increase the storage space. When the user stops depositing money, the note pressing mechanism 200 moves toward the note feeding mechanism 300 to cooperate with the note feeding mechanism 300 to clamp the financial medium 900. At the same time, the storage space is reduced, so that the note counting mechanism provided in the box body 100 can count and check the financial medium 900 in the storage space one by one, and then store the counted financial medium 900 in the storage mechanism provided in the box body 100. After the counted financial medium 900 is stored, the note pressing mechanism 200 moves away from the note feeding mechanism 300 to release the financial medium 900, thereby increasing the storage space and facilitating the user to remove the remaining financial medium 900 in the storage space.

[0053] In this embodiment, the bill insertion port is arranged upward so that a user can insert and remove financial media 900 through the bill insertion port.

[0054] The banknote pushing mechanism 400 is movably disposed on the banknote feeding mechanism 300 , and is used to push the financial medium 900 located in the accommodating space to the banknote pressing mechanism 200 .

[0055] It is understood that, since the banknote pushing mechanism 400 is movably disposed on the banknote feeding mechanism 300, when the counted financial medium 900 is stored and the banknote pressing mechanism 200 moves away from the banknote feeding mechanism 300 to release the financial medium 900, the banknote pushing mechanism 400 pushes the financial medium 900 located in the space toward the banknote pressing mechanism 200, thereby enabling the financial medium 900 originally tilted toward the banknote feeding mechanism 300 to move into contact with the banknote pressing mechanism 200. This allows the user to intuitively notice whether there is still financial medium 900 in the storage space, thereby minimizing the possibility of the user forgetting to remove the financial medium 900, and improving the safety and reliability of the use of the financial device.

[0056] According to the financial device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the banknote pushing mechanism 400 is movably disposed on the banknote feeding mechanism 300. When the counted financial medium 900 is stored and the banknote pressing mechanism 200 moves away from the banknote feeding mechanism 300 to release the financial medium 900, the banknote pushing mechanism 400 pushes the financial medium 900 located in the space toward the banknote pressing mechanism 200. This enables the financial medium 900, which was originally tilted toward the banknote feeding mechanism 300, to move into contact with the banknote pressing mechanism 200. This allows the user to intuitively notice whether there is still financial medium 900 in the storage space, thereby minimizing the possibility of the user forgetting to remove the financial medium 900, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the use of the financial device.

[0057] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG7 and FIG8 , the financial device has a cash counting state and a cash withdrawal state, wherein:

[0058] In the banknote counting state, the banknote pressing mechanism 200 and the banknote feeding mechanism 300 both move in the direction of clamping the financial medium 900, so that the banknote pushing mechanism 400 is in the locked position, and the financial medium 900 is suitable for being clamped between the banknote pressing mechanism 200 and the banknote feeding mechanism 300;

[0059] In the banknote withdrawal state, the banknote pressing mechanism 200 and the banknote feeding mechanism 300 both move in the direction of releasing the financial medium 900, so that the banknote feeding mechanism 300 is in the unlocked position, and the financial medium 900 is suitable for being clamped between the banknote pressing mechanism 200 and the banknote pushing mechanism 400.

[0060] It will be appreciated that, during the counting phase, the note pressing mechanism 200 and the note feeding mechanism 300 each move toward a direction that clamps the financial medium 900, thereby securing the financial medium 900 and preventing errors caused by displacement or slipping during the counting phase. Simultaneously, the note pushing mechanism 400 is in a locked position, avoiding the financial medium 900 and ensuring accurate counting. During the withdrawal phase, the note pressing mechanism 200 and the note feeding mechanism 300 each move toward a direction that loosens the financial medium 900, releasing the previously clamped financial medium 900 so that the note pushing mechanism 400 can further push the financial medium 900 toward the withdrawal slot for easy withdrawal by the user. Throughout the entire process, the financial medium 900 is always located between the note pressing mechanism 200 and the note feeding mechanism 300, and the note feeding mechanism 300 and the note pushing mechanism 400 are located on the same side of the financial medium 900. This ensures the stability of the financial medium 900 in the note counting state and the smooth pushing of the financial medium 900 in the note withdrawal state, which helps to improve the overall performance of the financial device and enhance the user experience.

[0061] Of course, in other embodiments, if the size and manufacturing and maintenance costs of the financial device are not considered, the banknote pushing mechanism 400 can be locked in the banknote counting state and unlocked in the banknote withdrawal state by adding a controller and a motor.

[0062] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6 , the financial device further has a banknote releasing state. In this state, the banknote pressing mechanism 200 moves away from the financial medium 900 and the banknote pushing mechanism 400 is in a locked position to avoid the financial medium 900 and ensure that the financial medium 900 can normally enter the accommodating space from the banknote releasing port.

[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the note feeding mechanism 300 includes a note feeding plate 310 and a second elastic member 320. The note feeding plate 310 is rotatably mounted on the housing 100. The ends of the second elastic member 320 are respectively connected to the note feeding plate 310 and the housing 100, and are used to drive the note feeding plate 310 toward the note pressing mechanism 200. The material of the note feeding plate 310 includes, but is not limited to, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or titanium alloy. The second elastic member 320 includes, but is not limited to, a tension spring. It should be noted that the shape and size of the note feeding plate 310 and the number and distribution of the second elastic members 320 can be designed according to actual needs and are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0064] It can be understood that, in the banknote releasing state, the banknote pressing mechanism 200 moves in the direction away from the banknote feeding mechanism 300 to the first position, so as to disengage from the banknote feeding plate 310, so as to facilitate the placement of the financial medium 900 between the banknote pressing mechanism 200 and the banknote feeding plate 310; in the banknote counting state, the banknote pressing mechanism 200 moves in the direction close to the banknote feeding mechanism 300 and abuts against the financial medium 900, and then drives the banknote feeding plate 310 to rotate until the banknote pressing mechanism 200 is in the second position, and at the same time drives the second elastic member 320 to deform, so as to ensure that the financial medium 900 is pressed by the banknote pressing mechanism 200 and The note feeding plate 310 is clamped stably. In the note withdrawal state, the note pressing mechanism 200 moves away from the note feeding mechanism 300 to the third position, and cooperates with the resilience of the second elastic member 320 to cause the note feeding plate 310 to rotate in the opposite direction. At the same time, the note pushing mechanism 400 is in the unlocked position, so that one side of the bottom of the financial medium 900 abuts against the note feeding plate 310. The other side of the bottom of the financial medium 900 abuts against the note pressing mechanism 200 due to the note pushing mechanism 400, thereby changing the tilt direction and angle of the financial medium 900, so that the financial medium 900 can be directly exposed to the note delivery port.

[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 6 to 8, the banknote pressing mechanism 200 includes a banknote pressing plate 210 slidably mounted on the box body 100. The banknote pressing plate 210 moves back and forth along the width direction of the financial medium 900 located in the accommodating space. The rotation axis of the banknote feeding plate 310 is parallel to the length direction of the financial medium 900 to realize the change of the accommodating space under different states of the financial device (including but not limited to the banknote placing state, the banknote counting state and the banknote withdrawal state).

[0066] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 4 to 8, the financial device further includes a stopper 500. The stopper 500 is mounted on the housing 100 and movably cooperates with the banknote ejection mechanism 400 to switch the banknote ejection mechanism 400 between a locked position and an unlocked position. The stopper 500 may be made of materials including, but not limited to, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or titanium alloy. The connection between the stopper 500 and the housing 100 may include, but not limited to, threaded connection, riveted connection, snap-fit ​​connection, and welding.

[0067] It can be understood that the limit member 500 and the banknote feeding plate 310 are respectively located on both sides of the banknote pressing plate 210, and the sliding cooperation between the banknote pushing mechanism 400 and the limit member 500 is utilized to realize the cooperation between the banknote pushing mechanism 400 and the limit member 500 at different positions when the banknote pressing plate 210 moves, so that the banknote pushing mechanism 400 can always be in the locked position when in the banknote placing state and the banknote counting state, and the banknote pushing mechanism 400 can be switched and maintained in the unlocked position when in the banknote taking state.

[0068] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 to 8, the limiting member 500 includes a base plate 510, a locking plate 520 and an unlocking plate 530. The base plate 510 is installed on the box body 100; at least part of the locking plate 520 is connected to the base plate 510; and the unlocking plate 530 is connected to the locking plate 520. When the banknote pushing mechanism 400 is in the locked position, the banknote pushing mechanism 400 contacts and cooperates with the locking plate 520 to avoid the financial medium 900; when the banknote pushing mechanism 400 is in the unlocked position, the banknote pushing mechanism 400 contacts and cooperates with the unlocking plate 530 to clamp the financial medium 900 between the banknote pushing mechanism 400 and the banknote pressing mechanism 200.

[0069] It can be understood that the locking plate 520 and the unlocking plate 530 are located on the side of the base plate 510 away from the box body 100. In the banknote placing state and the banknote counting state, the banknote pushing mechanism 400 and the locking plate 520 abut against each other to ensure that the banknote pushing mechanism 400 is in the locked position; in the banknote taking state, the banknote pushing mechanism 400 slides relative to the limit member 500 to abut against the unlocking plate 530, so that the banknote pushing mechanism 400 switches to the unlocked position, thereby enabling the banknote pushing mechanism 400 to push the financial medium 900 to abut against the side of the banknote pressing plate 210 close to the banknote feeding plate 310.

[0070] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the structural rigidity of the limiting member 500 , the base plate 510 , the locking plate 520 and the unlocking plate 530 are an integrally formed structure.

[0071] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 and 3 , the banknote pushing mechanism 400 includes a pushing block 410, a mating member 420, and a first elastic member 430. The pushing block 410 is rotatably mounted on the banknote feeding mechanism 300. The mating member 420 is disposed at one end of the pushing block 410 and contacts one of the locking plate 520 or the unlocking plate 530. The first elastic member 430 is connected to the pushing block 410 at one end and to the banknote feeding mechanism 300 at the other end, for driving the other end of the pushing block 410 toward the banknote pressing mechanism 200. The first elastic member 430 includes, but is not limited to, a spring or a torsion spring.

[0072] It can be understood that the rotation axis of the push block 410 is parallel to the rotation axis of the banknote feeding plate 310. In the banknote placing state and the banknote counting state, based on the driving force of the banknote pressing plate 210 on the banknote feeding plate 310, the matching piece 420 and the locking plate 520 abut against each other, so that the push block 410 is completely retracted into the banknote pressing plate 210 to avoid the financial medium 900; in the banknote taking state, the banknote pushing block rotates relative to the banknote feeding block under the action of the rebound force of the second elastic piece 320 until the matching piece 420 slides to abut against the unlocking plate 530, so that the other end of the push block 410 extends from the banknote feeding plate 310 to push the financial medium 900 to abut against the surface of the banknote pressing plate 210 close to the banknote feeding plate 310.

[0073] 3 , the fitting member 420 is rotatably disposed on the push block 410, and the rotation axis of the fitting member 420 is parallel to the rotation axis of the push block 410. The fitting member 420 includes but is not limited to a rolling bearing.

[0074] It is understandable that by converting sliding friction into rolling friction, resistance can be reduced, the push block 410 can rotate more smoothly, wear can be reduced, and the service life of the banknote pushing mechanism 400 can be extended.

[0075] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 to 8, the locking plate 520 includes a first section 521 and a second section 522. The first section 521 is arranged on one side of the unlocking plate 530; the second section 522 is arranged on the other side of the unlocking plate 530 and is connected to the base plate 510; wherein, in the banknote releasing state, the banknote pressing mechanism 200 and the banknote feeding mechanism 300 both move in the direction of releasing the financial medium 900, and the first section 521 abuts against the matching member 420. In the banknote counting state, the second section 522 abuts against the matching member 420.

[0076] It can be understood that, in the banknote releasing state, the banknote pressing mechanism 200 moves to the first position in the direction away from the banknote feeding mechanism 300 to disengage from the banknote feeding plate 310. At the same time, since the torque provided by the second elastic member 320 is greater than the torque increased by the first elastic member 430, the first elastic member 430 is in a deformed state, and the push block 410 abuts against the first section 521 of the limiting member 500 closest to the banknote feeding plate 310, and since the matching member 420 is connected to the first section 521 to limit the push block 410 from continuing to move closer to the banknote feeding plate 310, the banknote pressing mechanism 200 moves to the first position in the direction away from the banknote feeding mechanism 300 to disengage from the banknote feeding plate 310. The first section 521 of the first section 522 is rotated toward the unlocking plate 530, so that the matching piece 420 maintains contact with the first section 521, ensuring that the push block 410 is retracted relative to the banknote feeding plate 310 at this time; in the banknote counting state, the banknote pressing mechanism 200 moves toward the banknote feeding mechanism 300 and contacts the financial medium 900, and then drives the banknote feeding plate 310 to rotate until the banknote pressing mechanism 200 is in the second position, and at the same time drives the second elastic piece 320 to deform and the matching piece 420 to move relative to the limit piece 500 until it contacts the limit piece 500. The second section 522 farthest from the banknote feeding plate 310 abuts against the first elastic member 430 at this time, ensuring that the push block 410 is still retracted relative to the banknote feeding plate 310 at this time, ensuring that the financial medium 900 is stably clamped by the banknote pressing mechanism 200 and the banknote feeding plate 310; in the banknote taking state, the banknote pressing mechanism 200 moves to the third position in the direction away from the banknote feeding mechanism 300, and cooperates with the rebound force of the second elastic member 320 to make the banknote feeding plate 310 rotate in the opposite direction, and at the same time, the matching member 420 is relative to the limit member The push block 410 moves to abut against the unlocking plate 530 located between the first section 521 and the second section 522, and cooperates with the resilience of the first elastic member 430 to rotate the push block 410 relative to the banknote feeding plate 310 toward the banknote pressing plate 210. That is, the end of the push block 410 away from the matching member 420 extends out of the banknote feeding plate 310 and abuts against the financial medium 900, causing the financial medium 900 to tilt and fit against the side of the banknote pressing plate 210 close to the banknote feeding plate 310, so that the financial medium 900 can be directly exposed to the banknote discharge port.

[0077] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4, the first section 521 is tilted and the lower end of the first section 521 is connected to the lower end of the unlocking plate 530 at an angle, and the unlocking plate 530 is tilted and the upper end of the unlocking plate 530 is connected to the lower end of the second section 522 at an angle.

[0078] It is understood that by angling the unlocking plate 530 with the first section 521 and the second section 522, respectively, the entire financial device structure is made as compact as possible while also enabling the banknote ejection mechanism 400 to switch between the unlocked and locked positions. It should be noted that the angles between the unlocking plate 530 and the first section 521, and between the unlocking plate 530 and the second section 522, can be designed based on actual needs and are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0079] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2 , there are at least two banknote pushing mechanisms 400 , and the at least two banknote pushing mechanisms 400 are spaced apart along the length direction of the financial medium 900 located in the accommodation space.

[0080] It is understood that there are at least two banknote pushing mechanisms 400 so that they can jointly push financial media 900 and accommodate financial media 900 of varying lengths. It should be noted that the number of banknote pushing mechanisms 400 and the specific distance between two adjacent banknote pushing mechanisms 400 can be designed based on actual needs and are not limited to this in this embodiment. In this embodiment, there are two banknote pushing mechanisms 400.

[0081] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the unlocking plate 530 and the locking plate 520 correspond one-to-one to the banknote pushing mechanism 400, that is, at least two unlocking plates 530 and locking plates 520 are arranged on the same base plate 510 to reduce the complexity of processing and facilitate maintenance.

[0082] In some embodiments, the financial device further includes, but is not limited to, a banknote verification mechanism, a conveying mechanism, a sensor mechanism, a display screen, and a security mechanism installed in the housing 100. The banknote verification mechanism is used to accurately identify the authenticity of the financial medium 900 to ensure the security and accuracy of transactions. The conveying mechanism is used to transport the financial medium 900 stored in the housing 100 to the banknote outlet, or to transport the financial medium 900 from the banknote outlet to the housing 100 for storage. The sensor mechanism is used to monitor the quantity and status of the financial medium 900, as well as the overall operating status of the financial device. These sensors and counters can provide real-time feedback to the computer so that the computer can make appropriate control decisions. The display screen is used to interact with the user to display transaction information and receive user instructions. The security mechanism is used to promptly issue an alarm or take other security measures to alert the user when an abnormal situation is detected (for example, if the user forgets to remove the financial medium 900 from the storage space).
