When the first transmission member 330 just starts to contact the second transmission member 340, the first transmission member 330 will drive the mounting frame 310 to move against the elastic force of the elastic member 320. During this process, the elastic member 320 provides a cushion for the collision between the first transmission member 330 and the second transmission member 340, thereby avoiding a rigid collision between the first transmission member 330 and the second transmission member 340 and reducing the risk of damage to the first transmission member 330 and the second transmission member 340. After the first transmission member 330 is completely mated with the second transmission member 340, the first transmission member 330 is in close fit with the second transmission member 340 and the mounting frame 310 abuts against the second frame 200 under the action of the elastic member 320, to ensure a stable fit clearance between the first transmission member 330 and the second transmission member 340, thus ensuring the transmission stability between the first transmission member 330 and the second transmission member 340.
In other embodiments, one of a first frame 100 or a mounting frame 310 is provided with a long groove extending along a set direction, the other one of the first frame 100 or the mounting frame 310 is provided with a post, and the post is configured to be in plug-in fit with the long groove, so that the mounting frame 310 can move relative to the first frame 100 along the length direction of the long groove. An elastic member 320 is connected between the mounting frame 310 and the first frame 100, and the elastic member 320 is configured to enable the mounting frame 310 to drive the first transmission member 330 to move in the set direction. When the second frame 200 is at the first position (the position shown in
In the embodiment, the elastic member 320 is a tension spring. In other embodiments, the elastic member 320 may be a compression spring, a torsion spring, or the like.

When the first transmission member 330 just starts to contact the second transmission member 340, the first transmission member 330 will drives the mounting frame 310 to rotate around the pivot shaft 400 against the elastic force of the elastic member 320. At this time, under the action of the elastic member 320, the first end 311 of the mounting frame 310 approaches the first frame 100 and the second end 312 of the mounting frame 310 moves in a direction toward the second frame 200. After the first transmission member 330 is completely mated with the second transmission member 340, the support member 500 disposed on the second end 312 of the mounting frame 310 abuts against the second frame 200, so that there is a stable fit clearance between the first transmission member 330 and the second transmission member 340, ensuring the reliability of the power transmission between the first transmission member 330 and the second transmission member 340.
Continuing to refer to
In this manner, during the working process of the transmission mechanism, an engagement relationship between the second transmission member 340 and the first transmission member 330 can be always maintained. During the movement of the second frame 200 from the second position to the first position, the support member 500 firstly abuts against the second frame 200 or the second transmission member 340 to allow the mounting frame 310 to rotate against the elastic force of the elastic member 320, so that the first transmission member 330 avoids the second transmission member 340. When the second frame 200 reaches the first position, the mounting frame 310 also moves under the action of the elastic member 320, and the support member 500 abuts against the second frame 200, so that the first transmission member 330 is mated with the second transmission member 340 reliably, avoiding the collision between the first transmission member 330 and the second transmission member 340.
Optionally, a positioning groove may be provided on the surface of the second frame 200, and the positioning groove is disposed close to the second transmission member 340. During the movement of the second frame 200 from the second position to the first position, the support member 500 firstly abuts against the surface of the second frame 200, so that the first transmission member 330 avoids the second transmission member 340. When the second frame 200 reaches the first position, the support member 500 is located in the positioning groove, so that the first transmission member 330 and the second transmission member 340 can be positioned reliably. The mounting frame 310 can be ensured to rotate under the action of the elastic member 320, so that the first transmission member 330 is mated with the second transmission member 340 reliably, avoiding the collision between the first transmission member 330 and the second transmission member 340 during the movement of the second frame 200 towards the first position.

When the transmission mechanism is in operation, the motor 600 is activated to drive the movable frame 110 to move along the extension direction of the rack, thereby driving the gear which meshes with the rack to rotate. In this way, the power transmission from the first transmission member 330 to the second transmission member 340 is achieved. The first frame 100 is provided to include a frame body 120 and a movable frame 110, so that during the working process of the transmission mechanism provided in the embodiment, the motor 600 drives only the movable frame 110 to move, without the need to drive the entire first frame 100, reducing the requirement of the motor 600 on the load.
In other embodiments, the first transmission member 330 may be provided as a gear, and the second transmission member 340 may be provided as a rack. Such configuration also utilizes the meshing between the gear and the rack to achieve the power transmission. Of course, the first transmission member 330 and the second transmission member 340 may also be provided as gears at the same time, and the power transmission is achieved by the meshing between the gears. In an embodiment, the first transmission member 330 may be provided as a cam, and the second transmission member 340 may be provided as a circular transmission wheel. In this way, intermittent rotation drive of the circular transmission wheel is achieved by using the frictional force between the outer contour of the cam and the outer circumferential surface of the circular transmission wheel. In the embodiment, the working process of the transmission mechanism is only exemplarily described by taking the first transmission member 330 as the rack and the second transmission member 340 as the gear.
In other embodiments, the first transmission member 330 may be provided as a gear, and the second transmission member 340 may be provided as a rack or a gear. The drive assembly is drivingly connected to the gear to drive the gear to rotate, and the rotating gear drives the rack to move or drives the gear to rotate. In an embodiment, a first pulley is fixedly sleeved on the pivot shaft 400, and the first transmission member is coaxially and fixedly connected to a second pulley. The drive assembly includes a motor and a driving belt, the driving belt is sleeved on the first pulley and the second pulley, and the motor is drivingly connected to the first pulley. When the motor drives the first pulley to rotate, the driving belt drives the second pulley to rotate and the second pulley drives the first transmission member to rotate.
Optionally, when the first transmission member 330 is a rack, the extension direction of the rack is the first direction, that is, the extension direction of the rack is the same as the length direction of the mounting frame 310.
Optionally, the support member 500 is a roller. In this manner, the support member 500 is configured to be in rolling fit with the second frame 200. When the motor 600 drives the movable frame 110 to move in the first direction so as to drive the second transmission member 340 to rotate, the support member 500 rolls on the second frame 200, not only reducing the friction force between the support member 500 and the second frame 200 but also reducing the noise during the working process of the transmission mechanism provided in the embodiment.

When the transmission mechanism is used to transmit power, the motor 600 is activated to drive the swinging member 610 to swing. When the movable frame 110 needs to move in the direction indicated by the arrow a, the swinging member 610 cooperates with the first driving component 111; and when the movable frame 110 needs to move in the direction indicated by the arrow b, the swinging member 610 cooperates with the second driving component 112. In this manner, the reciprocation of the movable frame 110 along the first direction is achieved.
In an embodiment, the swinging member 610 is a cam plate, and the cam plate is drivingly connected to the output shaft of the motor 600. When the output shaft of the motor 600 rotates, the outer contour of the cam plate cooperates with the first driving component 111 or the second driving component 112 to drive the movable frame 110 to reciprocate along the first direction. Of course, the swinging member 610 may also be a round plate, and the round plate is drivingly connected to the output shaft of the motor 600 at an eccentric position of the round plate.

The basic working process of the automatic teller machine can be as follows: in depositing, banknotes enter from the banknote-in device 040, and after being identified by the identification device 070, banknotes that meet the requirement enter the temporary storage device 060 through the public passage 080 and wait for a user’ confirmation. If a user confirms the deposit, the banknotes in the temporary storage device 060 are conveyed to the identification device 070 from the public passage 080 for further identification and counting. Then, the banknotes are conveyed to a corresponding cash box 030 in the safe for storage according to the identification results such as the denomination, whether it is suitable for circulation and the like, and at the same time unqualified banknotes are conveyed to the banknote-out device 050 for the user to take away. In withdrawing, banknotes enter the public passage 080 from a cash box 030 and are then conveyed to the identification device 070 for identification, where qualified banknotes are conveyed to the banknote-out device 050 for the user to take away, and unqualified banknotes are again returned to a cash box 030 dedicated to recycling in the safe for storage.
It should be noted that the structure and working process of the automatic teller machine may be the related art well known to those skilled in the art, which are not improved in the embodiment and thus will not be repeated.
In an embodiment, continuing to refer to
When the upper unit is pushed back relative to the lower unit, the support member 500 of the transmission mechanism can firstly contact the second transmission member 340, and the support member 500 overcomes the elastic force to avoid the second transmission member 340. Then, when the second frame 200 is at the first position, the second transmission member 340 will contact the first transmission member 330. In the case where the first transmission member 330 is a rack and the second transmission member 340 is a gear, this arrangement can prevent the collision between the rack and the gear.
In conjunction with
During the working process of the automatic teller machine, in depositing, the second frame 200 is at the first position such that the first transmission member 330 is mated with the second transmission member 340, and the motor 600 is activated to rotate the drive gear 620 to drive the transmission gear 630 which meshes with the drive gear 620 to rotate, thereby realizing the swinging of the swinging member 610. In an embodiment, when banknotes enter a cash box 030 from the public passage 080, the swinging member 610 cooperates with the second driving component 112, and the movable frame 110 moves in the direction shown by the arrow a in
In the automatic teller machine, the above-mentioned transmission mechanism is provided to ensure the reliable transmission of the power of the motor 600 to the first passage plate 021 during the banknote-in process and the banknote-out process, thereby ensuring the reliability of the movement of the first passage plate 021 and ensuring that the banknote-in and banknote-out operation are smoothly carried out.
Optionally, the first passage plate 021 is drivingly connected to the second passage plate 022, where the first passage plate 021 is fixedly provided with a first rotation shaft 024, and the first rotation shaft 024 is provided with a first tooth sector 026; and the second passage plate 022 is fixedly provided with a second rotation shaft 025, the second rotation shaft 025 is provided with a second tooth sector 027, and the first tooth sector 026 is mated with the second tooth sector 027. In this manner, when the motor 600 drives the first passage plate 021 to rotate around the first rotation shaft 024, the first tooth sector 026 meshes with the second tooth sector 027 for transmission, thereby driving the second passage plate 022 to rotate synchronously and reversely around the second rotation shaft 025. In this manner, it is achieved that the upper end of the first passage plate 021 and the upper end of the second passage plate 022 simultaneously get close to or away from each other, and the lower end of the first passage plate 021 and the lower end of the second passage plate 022 simultaneously get close to or away from each other.
