This application claims the benefit of priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201210448733.2 titled “SHEET-TYPE MEDIA STACKING DEVICE”, filed with the Chinese State Intellectual Property Office on Nov. 9, 2012, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
TECHNICAL FIELDThe present application relates to a technique for processing a sheet-type medium, and particularly to a device through which the sheet-type media are stacked piece by piece and a whole stack of media don't wriggle and draw back.
BACKGROUNDA device for identifying financial bills piece by piece is generally installed in the machine for processing financial bills, and after being identified piece by piece, the bills which are conveyed piece by piece are stacked to facilitate withdrawing the bills. For example, in a conventional automatic teller machine, multiple sheets of stacked banknotes are sorted, conveyed and identified piece by piece, and then are stacked to be delivered out. At present, in a sheet-type media stacking device, in which the media are conveyed in a longitudinal direction, such as a banknote stacking device, a conveyor belt fits closely to an arc-shaped plate to convey a single sheet of banknote to a specific location to be stacked. For example, the first sheet of banknote is settled in the specific location, a front end of the second sheet of banknote is superposed on a tail end of the first sheet of banknote, and the first sheet of banknote and the second sheet of banknote are clamped by the conveyor belt and the arc-shaped plate to move forwards together, and the first sheet of banknote stops moving forward when its front end reaches a predetermined blocking member. The second sheet of banknote is driven by the conveyor belt to overcome the frictional force between the first and second banknotes and continue to slide forward, and stops moving forward until it reaches the predetermined blocking member. The third sheet of banknote and subsequent banknotes go through the same process as the first and second sheets of banknotes, that is, the front end of a subsequent sheet of banknote is superposed on the tail end of a previous banknote and the banknotes are all conveyed to the predetermined blocking member, to be stacked. Eventually, the front ends of all the banknotes are aligned to the predetermined movable blocking plate, and a whole stack of banknotes are delivered to a predetermined position for an operator.
With the development of technology, the processing speed of a sheet-type media processing device is greatly increased, requirements for movement speeds of the sheet-type media in a device are increased accordingly, however in the above conventional mechanism, for ensuring that the front end of a subsequent sheet of banknote can be superposed on the tail end of a previous sheet of banknote, the previous sheet of banknote must stop at a predetermined position, the conveyor belt must start instantaneously at a high acceleration to reach the same linear speed as other devices after the front end of the subsequent sheet of banknote is superposed on the tail end of the previous sheet of banknote for a certain distance, the conveyor belt is stretched in the process, a driving force for the conveyor belt stops when the banknotes moves to the predetermined position, and the conveyor belt rebounds to drive the banknotes to wriggle and draw back, thus front ends of the banknotes form an inverted triangle slope, and the banknotes sent to users in a whole stack show an unsatisfactory banknote stacking effect.
SUMMARYAn object of the present application is to provide a sheet-type media stacking device for effectively addressing the issue of a whole stack of media wriggling and draw backing.
The sheet-type media stacking device includes:
-
- a piece-by-piece sheet-type media conveying mechanism configured to convey a sheet-type medium piece by piece;
- an upper conveyor belt configured to provide a driving force to the sheet-type media and arranged around a driving transmission shaft and a driven transmission shaft which are arranged in a conveying direction of the sheet-type media;
- an arc-shaped stacking plate configured to support the sheet-type media, wherein an arc-shaped surface, fitting closely to the upper conveyor belt, of the arc-shaped stacking plate defines a conveying passage for the sheet-type media, a length of the conveying passage is at least greater than a length of one sheet of the sheet-type medium in the conveying direction, and one end of the conveying passage abuts the piece-by-piece sheet-type media conveying mechanism and is slightly lower than a delivering outlet of the conveying mechanism, and another end of the conveying passage forms an outlet for a whole stack of sheet-type media;
- a movable blocking mechanism arranged on a section of the conveying passage close to the outlet and configured to selectively block the sheet-type media;
- a sensor device arranged at a tail end of the delivering outlet of the piece-by-piece sheet-type media conveying mechanism and configured to detect the arrival and passing of a sheet of the sheet-type media; and
- a control unit configured to control the upper conveyor belt to move or stop moving according to information feedback from the sensor device;
- wherein, an acanthus-shaped protruding rib is arranged at a position, at a distance of a length of one sheet of the sheet-type medium from the movable blocking mechanism, on the arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped stacking plate, and the acanthus-shaped protruding rib allows the sheet-type media to pass only in a discharging direction.
Preferably, at least two acanthus-shaped protruding ribs are provided, and the at least two acanthus protruding ribs are arranged in a front-rear order along the discharging direction of the sheet-type media.
Preferably, the arc-shaped stacking device includes the following three sections, a section near the piece-by-piece sheet-type media conveying mechanism forms a rear arc-shaped plate, a section near the outlet for media forms a front arc-shaped plate, and a middle section forms a reversing device.
Furthermore, a recycling conveyor belt assembly and a discharging conveyor belt assembly are arranged below the reversing device and the front arc-shaped plate, wherein at least a section of the recycling conveyor belt assembly fits with a section of the discharging conveyor belt assembly to form a recycling conveying passage for the sheet-type media.
Preferably, one surface, facing to the movable blocking mechanism, of the acanthus protruding rib is perpendicular to the conveying passage to form a stop surface; one surface, opposite to the stop surface, and the conveying passage form an angle greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees so as to form a derivation surface.
Compared with the conventional technology, the valuable document identification device has the following advantages.
By providing acanthus-shaped protruding ribs on the working surface of the arc-shaped stacking plate, the acanthus-shaped protruding ribs have a one-way transmission property for the sheet-type media and each of the acanthus-shaped protruding ribs has the derivation surface and the stop surface, thus the sheet-type media may only be transmitted along one direction and the movement thereof is irreversible, which effectively solves the problem of wriggling and draw backing of the sheet-type media caused by the rebound action of the conveyor belt, and the stacking of the sheet-type medias may reach the expected effect.
The present application is further described in conjunction with accompany figures and embodiments.
For further describing the sheet-type media stacking device according to the present application and for more clearly illustrating the structure and operation process of the device, a deposit machine used in a financial self-service equipment is described as an example. Apparently, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all of other embodiments, made by the person skilled in the art without any creative efforts, fall into the scope of the present application.
