Abstract

A banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism of a banknote processing device includes a housing and a baffle, the baffle is an elastic retaining piece, the elastic retaining piece has one end fixed with respect to the housing and another end being a free end, and the elastic retaining piece is located in the discharging route of banknotes. When the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism operates, after the banknotes being discharged by a banknote-dispensing conveying mechanism, the banknotes fall onto the elastic retaining piece, and the elastic retaining piece provides a supporting force for the banknotes. When all the banknotes are discharged, the banknotes are pushed by a banknote pushing plate to apply a pushing force to the elastic retaining piece, and at this moment the elastic retaining piece generates a plastics deformation, which makes the banknotes and the banknote pushing plate pass through the elastic retaining piece together, to further perform subsequent operations.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism of a banknote processing device, comprising a housing and a baffle,
wherein the baffle is an elastic retaining piece, one end of the elastic retaining piece is fixed with respect to the housing and another end of the elastic retaining piece is a free end, and the elastic retaining piece is located in a discharging route of banknotes,
wherein the elastic retaining piece comprises a first retaining piece and a second retaining piece, a fixed end of the first retaining piece is arranged oppositely to a fixed end of the second retaining piece, and a free end of the first retaining piece and a free end of the second retaining piece are both located in the discharging route of the banknotes.

2. The banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the first retaining piece facing a banknote pushing plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism and a surface of the second retaining piece facing the banknote pushing plate are at a same plane.

3. The banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein a banknote-dispensing conveying mechanism of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism comprises a vane wheel, and a banknote pushing plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism is configured to be located at a side of vanes of the vane wheel to form a banknote blocking mechanism.

4. The banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein a curve-shaped banknote blocking slit is provided between a bottom portion of a pressing plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism and/or a bottom portion of a banknote pushing plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism, and a bottom plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism.

5. The banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism according to claim 4 , wherein the curve-shaped banknote blocking slit is a rectangle corrugated banknote blocking slit.

6. The banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein a pressing plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism is provided with a banknote separating wheel accommodating groove, and a banknote separating wheel of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism is configured to pass through the banknote separating wheel accommodating groove, to form a banknote contacting portion exposed out of the banknote separating wheel accommodating groove.

7. The banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the housing is provided with a first guide slot, and a pressing plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism is in a sliding fit with the housing via the first guide slot.

8. The banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism according to claim 7 , wherein the housing is provided with a second guide slot, and a banknote pushing plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism is in a sliding fit with the housing via the second guide slot.

9. The banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein a pressing plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism is provided with a banknote separating wheel accommodating groove, and a banknote separating wheel of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism is configured to pass through the banknote separating wheel accommodating groove, to form a banknote contacting portion exposed out of the banknote separating wheel accommodating groove.

10. The banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism according to claim 2 , wherein the housing is provided with a first guide slot, and a pressing plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism is in a sliding fit with the housing via the first guide slot.

11. The banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism according to claim 10 , wherein the housing is provided with a second guide slot, and a banknote pushing plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism is in a sliding fit with the housing via the second guide slot.

12. A banknote processing device, comprising a banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism,
wherein the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism comprises a housing and a baffle, the baffle is an elastic retaining piece, one end of the elastic retaining piece is fixed with respect to the housing and another end of the elastic retaining piece is a free end, and the elastic retaining piece is located in a discharging route of banknotes,
wherein the elastic retaining piece comprises a first retaining piece and a second retaining piece, a fixed end of the first retaining piece is arranged oppositely to a fixed end of the second retaining piece, and a free end of the first retaining piece and a free end of the second retaining piece are both located in the discharging route of the banknotes.

13. The banknote processing device according to claim 12 , wherein a surface of the first retaining piece facing a banknote pushing plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism and a surface of the second retaining piece facing the banknote pushing plate are at a same plane.

14. The banknote processing device according to claim 12 , wherein a banknote-dispensing conveying mechanism of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism comprises a vane wheel, and a banknote pushing plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism is configured to be located at a side of vanes of the vane wheel to form a banknote blocking mechanism.

15. The banknote processing device according to claim 12 , wherein a curve-shaped banknote blocking slit is provided between a bottom portion of a pressing plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism and/or a bottom portion of a banknote pushing plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism, and a bottom plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism.

16. The banknote processing device according to claim 12 , wherein a pressing plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism is provided with a banknote separating wheel accommodating groove, and a banknote separating wheel of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism is configured to pass through the banknote separating wheel accommodating groove, to form a banknote contacting portion exposed out of the banknote separating wheel accommodating groove.

17. The banknote processing device according to claim 12 , wherein the housing is provided with a first guide slot, and a pressing plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism is in a sliding fit with the housing via the first guide slot.

18. The banknote processing device according to claim 17 , wherein the housing is provided with a second guide slot, and a banknote pushing plate of the banknote dispensing/receiving mechanism is in a sliding fit with the housing via the second guide slot.
