Abstract

A banknote stacking device includes an input mechanism configured to convey banknotes one by one, a stacking platform mechanism configured to stack and support banknotes conveyed by the input mechanism one by one a pressing and conveying mechanism located above the stacking platform mechanism and configured to press banknotes and convey the banknotes stacked on the platform forward. The pressing and conveying mechanism has a pressing rod, and the pressing rod has one end rotatably arranged on the upper conveying rotating shaft and another end forming a free end and falling freely towards the platform, the rotatable securing end and the free end of the pressing rod are respectively provided with a first concave wheel and a second concave wheel, and a first O-shaped belt is arranged on the first concave wheel and the second concave wheel. The first concave wheel rotates synchronously with the upper conveying rotating shaft.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A banknote stacking device, comprising:
an input mechanism configured to convey banknotes one by one, which comprises an upper conveying belt and an upper conveying rotating shaft configured to drive the upper conveying belt;
a stacking platform mechanism configured to stack and support banknotes conveyed by the input mechanism one by one, which comprises a platform configured to carry banknotes, wherein the platform and two baffles arranged front and rear in a banknote conveying direction define a space for stacking and storing banknotes, and the platform is controlled by a lifting mechanism to selectively move up and down; and
a pressing and conveying mechanism located above the stacking platform mechanism and configured to press banknotes and convey the banknotes stacked on the platform forward, wherein the pressing and conveying mechanism has a pressing rod, and the pressing rod has one end rotatably arranged on the upper conveying rotating shaft and another end forming a free end and falling freely towards the platform, the rotatable securing end and the free end of the pressing rod are respectively provided with a first concave wheel and a second concave wheel, and a first O-shaped belt is arranged on the first concave wheel and the second concave wheel, wherein the first concave wheel rotates synchronously with the upper conveying rotating shaft.

2. The banknote stacking device according to claim 1 , wherein the first concave wheel and a third concave wheel are respectively arranged on two sides of the rotatable securing end of the pressing rod, and the second concave wheel and a fourth concave wheel are respectively arranged on two sides of the free end of the pressing rod, wherein the first O-shaped belt is arranged on the first concave wheel and the second concave wheel, and a second O-shaped belt is arranged on the third concave wheel and the fourth concave wheel, wherein the first concave wheel and the third concave wheel rotate synchronously with the upper conveying rotating shaft.

3. The banknote stacking device according to claim 1 , wherein a belt conveying part is provided on the platform, and the belt conveying part comprises a flat belt and two flat belt pulleys configured to support and drive the flat belt, each of the flat belt pulleys is mounted onto the platform via a pulley rotating shaft, and the pulley rotating shaft is equipped with a connecting gear configured to receive external power.

4. The banknote stacking device according to claim 3 , wherein an elastic strip is further provided on the platform, the elastic strip has two ends fixed onto the platform and a middle portion forming an arched elastic platform part, wherein the elastic platform part is higher than the flat belt by 1 mm to 2 mm in a free state.

5. The banknote stacking device according to claim 4 , wherein two belt conveying parts and two elastic strips are provided on the platform, wherein the belt conveying parts and the elastic strips are symmetrical arranged in parallel with each other along a middle line of the platform in the banknote conveying direction.

6. The banknote stacking device according to claim 1 , further comprising an output mechanism configured to output a whole stack of banknotes stacked on the platform, wherein the output mechanism comprises an upper output conveying belt and an upper output rotating shaft, wherein the upper output rotating shaft is controlled by a pressure spring to move up and down to self-adapt to the thickness of stacked banknotes.

7. The banknote stacking device according to claim 1 , wherein a protrusion is provided on each of edges, close to the front baffle and the rear baffle, of the platform, and ribs cooperating with the protrusions are formed on surfaces of the front baffle and the rear baffle at corresponding positions.

8. A banknote processing apparatus, comprising a banknote inlet/outlet for depositing and withdrawing banknotes, a banknote conveying passage configured to convey banknotes, a banknote recycling box configured to recycle banknotes, and a banknote cassette configured to store banknotes, and further comprising the banknote stacking device according to claim 1 .

9. A banknote processing apparatus, comprising a banknote inlet/outlet for depositing and withdrawing banknotes, a banknote conveying passage configured to convey banknotes, a banknote recycling box configured to recycle banknotes, and a banknote cassette configured to store banknotes, and further comprising the banknote stacking device according to claim 2 .

10. A banknote processing apparatus, comprising a banknote inlet/outlet for depositing and withdrawing banknotes, a banknote conveying passage configured to convey banknotes, a banknote recycling box configured to recycle banknotes, and a banknote cassette configured to store banknotes, and further comprising the banknote stacking device according to claim 3 .

11. A banknote processing apparatus, comprising a banknote inlet/outlet for depositing and withdrawing banknotes, a banknote conveying passage configured to convey banknotes, a banknote recycling box configured to recycle banknotes, and a banknote cassette configured to store banknotes, and further comprising the banknote stacking device according to claim 4 .

12. A banknote processing apparatus, comprising a banknote inlet/outlet for depositing and withdrawing banknotes, a banknote conveying passage configured to convey banknotes, a banknote recycling box configured to recycle banknotes, and a banknote cassette configured to store banknotes, and further comprising the banknote stacking device according to claim 5 .

13. A banknote processing apparatus, comprising a banknote inlet/outlet for depositing and withdrawing banknotes, a banknote conveying passage configured to convey banknotes, a banknote recycling box configured to recycle banknotes, and a banknote cassette configured to store banknotes, and further comprising the banknote stacking device according to claim 6 .
