This application claims the benefit of priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201310724154.0 titled “SHEET-TYPE MEDIUM SEPARATING DEVICE AND SELF-SERVICE FINANCIAL EQUIPMENT”, filed with the Chinese State Intellectual Property Office on Dec. 24, 2013, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present application relates to the sheet medium processing technology, and in particular to a sheet-type medium separating device applicable in a financial self-service equipment to individually separate a whole stack of banknotes reliably.
The current financial self-service equipment has a banknote depositing and withdrawing module for depositing and withdrawing banknotes, an identification module for identifying the deposited banknotes, a temporary storage device for temporarily storing the identified banknotes, a cashbox for storing the eventually identified and confirmed banknotes, a necessary system control device, and etc.
When the above financial self-service equipment handles the banknotes deposited by the user, a whole stack of banknotes placed into the banknote depositing and withdrawing module are separated individually by a banknote separating device in the banknote depositing and withdrawing module, and enter through a banknote conveying passage into the identification module provided in the conveying passage, and the banknotes identified by the identification module are conveyed to the temporary storage device or the banknote depositing and withdrawing module according to the identification results. Thus, the banknote depositing and withdrawing module of the current financial self-service equipment consists of two isolated spaces, one is a receiving space for receiving the whole stack of banknotes placed in by users, and the other is a returning space for receiving the banknotes which are unaccepted after being identified by the identification module and need to be returned to the users.
Currently, most of banknote separating devices for individually separating the whole stack of banknotes are of friction-type, for example, the separating devices disclosed in Chinese patent application No. CN1999287A and Chinese patent application No. CN201567095U, the friction-type separating mechanism is mainly composed of a reverse roller assembly 1, a pickup roller assembly 2 and a separating roller assembly 3 as shown in
In the process of separating the banknotes, as shown in
Moreover, different positions of the banknote of the same type has different thicknesses, and when the banknotes having a thickness difference pass through the passage, with a fixed clearance, between the reverse roller assembly 1 and the separating roller assembly 3, the banknotes may be jammed or torn in the separating process.
In order to address the technical issue that sheet-type media are jammed or tore when the sheet-type media having a thickness difference are separated by the above separating mechanism, a sheet-type medium separating device is provided, in which an axial clearance between an end of a reverse roller assembly 1 and an end of a separating roller assembly 3 can be automatically adjusted.
The sheet-type medium separating device includes:
Preferably, an accommodating groove is provided in an outer surface of the inner sleeve in an axial direction, a protruding strip corresponding to the accommodating groove is provided on an inner surface of the reverse roller jacket, and elastic components are respectively provided at two axial ends of the protruding strip to abut against the protruding strip in the case that the protruding strip is accommodated in the accommodating groove.
Further, the elastic components are rubber rings, and annular grooves configured to accommodate the rubber rings are provided in the outer surface of the inner sleeve.
Further, an elastic tooth corresponding to the accommodating groove is provided on each of the rubber rings.
Preferably, the reverse roller jacket includes a rigid sleeve and a rubber roller fixedly sleeved on the rigid sleeve.
Further, an accommodating groove is provided in an outer surface of the inner sleeve in an axial direction, a protruding strip corresponding to the accommodating groove is provided on an inner surface of the rigid sleeve, and elastic components are respectively provided at two axial ends of the protruding strip to abut against the protruding strip in the case that the protruding strip is accommodated in the accommodating groove.
Further, the elastic components are rubber rings, and annular grooves configured to accommodate the rubber rings are provided in the outer surface of the inner sleeve.
Further, an elastic tooth corresponding to the accommodating groove is provided on each of the rubber rings.
Preferably, the reverse roller is assembled on the reverse roller shaft by being borne by at least one one-way bearing and at least one normal bearing which are arranged in parallel with each other axially.
A self-service financial equipment is further provided according to the present application, which includes:

The structure of the reverse roller 12 is further described hereinafter in conjunction with
Referring to
In a first step, the normal deep groove ball bearing 121 and the one-way bearing 122 are fixed in an inner hole of the inner sleeve 124 by glue, to form an assembly A.
In a second step, the elastic rubber ring 123 is sleeved on one end of the assembly A assembled in the first step, to form an assembly B.
In a third step, the rigid outer sleeve 125 is fixed to an inner side of the rubber roller 126 by glue, to form an assembly C. This step may also be achieved by manufacturing the assembly integrally by injection molding in a factory;
In a fourth step, the assembly B assembled in the second step is slid into the assembly C assembled in the third step along the direction of the three guide grooves from one end of the assembly C, to form an assembly D.
In a fifth step, on the basis of the fourth step, the assembly C is continued to slide forward with respect to the assembly B, to cause the elastic rubber ring 123 to deform, until the other end of the inner sleeve 124 is exposed, then another elastic rubber ring 123 is sleeved on the other end of the assembly D, and the deformation of the elastic rubber pad 123 is released to allow the assembly B and the assembly C to return to the original positions and be centered relatively, to form the reverse roller 12.
