Abstract

A banknote accommodating device includes a box body, a box door and a banknote inlet. A movable guide plate in the box body is arranged below the banknote inlet through a rotating shaft, and has a guide surface facing the banknote inlet, and an included angle between the guide surface and a vertical direction ranges from 0 degree to 20 degrees, an elastic element is provided on a back surface of the guide surface, and provides a thrust to rotate the movable guide plate counterclockwise. The box door is provided with a guide rib which forms an included angle with the vertical direction, and a stacking surface is provided at the bottom of the box body and forms an included angle with a horizontal direction, and a space for stacking banknotes vertically is formed between the guide surface, the guide rib and the stacking surface.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A banknote accommodating device, comprising a box body, a box door, and a banknote inlet, a switching member and a pair of pressing roller components being provided at the banknote inlet, the switching member being configured to selectively rotate to open or close the banknote inlet under the control of a control signal, and the pair of pressing roller components being configured to convey banknote into the banknote accommodating device in a state that the banknote inlet is open, wherein,
a movable guide plate is provided in the box body, and is arranged below the banknote inlet through a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is fixedly mounted to a side wall of the box body, a guide surface of the movable guide plate faces the banknote inlet, and an included angle formed between the guide surface of the movable guide plate and a vertical direction ranges from 0 degree to 20 degrees, an elastic element is provided on a back surface of the guide surface of the movable guide plate, and the elastic element is configured to provide a thrust to the movable guide plate to allow the movable guide plate to rotate counterclockwise; and
the box door is provided with a guide rib which forms an included angle ranging from 0 degree to 30 degrees with respect to the vertical direction, and a stacking inclined surface is provided at the bottom of the box body and forms an included angle ranging from 0 degree to 45 degrees with respect to a horizontal direction, and a space for stacking banknotes vertically is formed between the guide surface of the movable guide plate, the guide rib of the box door and the stacking surface at the bottom of the box body;
wherein a front end of a banknote rests on the stacking inclined surface at the bottom of the box body, and the entire sheet of the banknote is stacked well against a surface of the guide rib.

2. The banknote accommodating device according to claim 1 , wherein a guide surface is further provided in an upper portion at a left side of the box body, and an included angle formed between the guide surface of the box body and the vertical direction ranges from 0 degree to 20 degrees, and is configured to guide the banknote to move from the banknote inlet to the guide surface of the movable guide plate.

3. The banknote accommodating device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic element comprises a compression spring, a leaf spring or a torsion spring.

4. The banknote accommodating device according to claim 2 , wherein the elastic element comprises a compression spring, a leaf spring or a torsion spring.
