Solution Overview

Problem

The positioning of banknote boxes in cash storage apparatuses is not precise enough, leading to abnormal banknote input or output, affecting the reliability and efficiency of cash recycling and processing devices.

Innovation Solution

The cash storage apparatus features a cabinet with guiding parts and movable parts that align precisely with the banknote box assembly, ensuring the second inlet/outlet is opposite and in communication with the first inlet/outlet, allowing for stable and reliable banknote input and output through the use of guiding rails and rollers for precise positioning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If banknote boxes are arranged in a cabinet without precise positioning mechanisms, then the device structure is simple, but the positioning precision is insufficient leading to abnormal banknote input or output

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning precisionVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the positioning parameter from loose fit to precise fit by introducing guiding rails with locating parts. The guiding rails constrain the movement of banknote boxes along specific trajectories, transforming the positioning from an imprecise state to a precisely controlled state, thereby resolving the contradiction between positioning precision and device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The guiding rails serve as an intermediary mechanism between the cabinet and the banknote boxes. These rails with locating parts act as mediators that transmit and constrain the movement of banknote boxes, ensuring precise positioning without requiring complex direct coupling mechanisms, thus resolving the contradiction by introducing a simple yet effective intermediary structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If banknote boxes are positioned imprecisely in the cabinet, then the device structure is simple, but the reliability of banknote input and output operations deteriorates
