As shown in
The banknote stacking mechanism includes an impeller wheel 50 and a banknote stacking region. The banknote stacking region includes a lifting plate 47, a pressing plate 21 and a fixed plate 22. The lifting plate 47 is located at the bottom of the banknote stacking region, and the pressing plate 21 and the fixed plate 22 form two side walls of the banknote stacking region which are opposite.

The first set of transmission wheels is located at the banknote inlet-outlet, and includes a driving wheel 130 and a driven wheel 140. The second set of transmission wheels is close to the banknote stacking region, and includes a driving wheel 110 and a driven wheel 120. The driving wheel 130 and the driving wheel 110 are connected by a driving wheel belt 103, and the driven wheel 140 and the driven wheel 120 are connected by a driven wheel belt 104. The driving wheel belt 103 and the driven wheel belt 104 form a banknote conveying passage.

In a de-energized state, the pull type electromagnet releases the spring, and the spring pulls back the driven wheel under the action of a contracting force, such that the driven wheel is pulled to keep a certain distance from the driving wheel, thus functioning to open the clamping mechanism. Preferably, at least one set of transmission wheels is provided between the first set of transmission wheels and the second set of transmission wheels. As shown in
