In order to improve the note distribution performance of note distribution device, the problem of last several banknotes are difficult to accurate note distribution, the present invention are solved
Embodiment provides a kind of for note distribution device, deadweight press-note riding wheel structure.
Fig. 2 is refer to, the structural representation of the note distribution device 20 after riding wheel structure 30 is the increase in.Fig. 3 is refer to, is to ride
The mplifying structure schematic diagram of the position of wheel construction 30.Fig. 4 is refer to, is simplification structure and the principle signal of riding wheel structure 30
Figure.Fig. 5 is refer to, is the dimensional structure diagram of note distribution device 20.Fig. 6 is refer to, is that note distribution device 20 removes bank note baffle plate
Dimensional structure diagram afterwards.
Shown as shown in Figures 2 to 6, note distribution device 20 includes：Deposit paper money mouthful 21, dig paper money wheel 22, bank note separating wheel 23, separating wheel
24, and conveying dancer 25 etc..The riding wheel structure 30 includes：Axle is located at the He of riding wheel support 31 on the note distribution device 20
Axle is located at the riding wheel 32 on the riding wheel support 31, and the riding wheel 32 directly bears against the bank note separating wheel 23 under self gravitation effect
On；The joint of the riding wheel 32 and the bank note separating wheel 23, is deposited between paper money mouthful 21 and the separating wheel 24 positioned at described.
Wherein, the riding wheel 32 and the bank note separating wheel 23 constitute conveying rolls structure, for by the digging paper money wheel 22 from institute
State and deposit the banknote that the digging of paper money mouthful 21 comes, be delivered to the note distribution roller pair structure that the separating wheel 24 and the bank note separating wheel 23 are constituted；Then,
The twin rollers structure that the banknote of conveying is constituted further to conveying dancer 25 and bank note separating wheel 23, is transported to channel module.
Optionally, the riding wheel support 31 is provided with the first opening 34 and the second opening 35, first opening, 34 buckles
It is on separation axle 26 in the axle of the separating wheel 24 so that the riding wheel support 31 can freely turn around the axle of the separating wheel 24
It is dynamic；Second end of the riding wheel support 31 has the second opening 35, and the riding wheel 32 is arranged on described second by assembled shaft 33
In opening 35 so that the riding wheel 32 can freely be rotated around the assembled shaft 33.Wherein, first opening 34 and described the
The opening direction of two openings 35 may be reversed, or the same or angled.
Optionally, the riding wheel structure 30 also includes being arranged on the note distribution device 20, for limiting the riding wheel branch
The riding wheel position-limited rack 36 of the axial float of frame 31.
Optionally, also there is the axially arranged recess along the separating wheel 24, the riding wheel on the riding wheel support 31
Position-limited rack 36 has the positive stop end for matching and setting with the recess.
Below, it is further described the principle of technical scheme of the embodiment of the present invention.
Fig. 2 be refer to Fig. 4, it is seen that：Riding wheel 32 is directly born against on bank note separating wheel 23, during the note distribution of bank note separating wheel 23, point
Paper money wheel 23 is rotated counterclockwise, accordingly, and riding wheel 32 is rotated clockwise；In bank note（Banknote in other words）Deadweight and digging paper money wheel 22 are common
Under effect, bank note front end enters riding wheel 32 and the tangent junction of bank note separating wheel 23；The conveying pair that bank note separating wheel 23 is constituted with riding wheel 32
Roll structure can convey bank note forward, during to bank note separating wheel 23 and the delivery position of separating wheel 24, realize bank note note distribution；So use
Riding wheel 32 replaces money pressing plate structure, it is possible to resolve the problem of finally several bank note note distributions are difficult.
Wherein, note distribution process is specifically included：Dig paper money wheel 22 and convey bank note to riding wheel 32 and the contact point of bank note separating wheel 23, bank note separating wheel
23 constitute a pair of conveying rolls structures with riding wheel 32, and when bank note enters this to conveying rolls, riding wheel 32 can be by bank note jack-up, riding wheel
32 are pressed on bank note；At this moment, it is pressed in by the own wt of riding wheel 32 on bank note, thus can gives bank note enough carrying capacitys, it is defeated
It is sent to bank note separating wheel 23 and joins position with separating wheel 24.
Wherein, the requirement of the weight of riding wheel 32 is as follows：It is to roller conveying mechanism that bank note is defeated that riding wheel 32 and bank note separating wheel 23 are constituted
Deliver to note distribution 23 and carry out note distribution with the junction of separating wheel 24, if carrying capacity is excessive, separating wheel 24 can be caused can not to prevent second
Bank note enters junction, so as to cause to re-open；If carrying capacity is too small, it can cause bank note that the resistance of separating wheel 24 can not be overcome to enter
Bank note separating wheel 23 and the junction of separating wheel 24, so as to can not be transported away；Therefore the weight of riding wheel 32 need to meet two requirements of the above, i.e.,：
The weight of riding wheel is needed the need for meeting bank note note distribution, while note distribution can not be caused to re-open.
For the ease of implementing the technical scheme of the embodiment of the present invention, the embodiment of the present invention also provides the device of correlation, including
Note distribution device and financial self-service equipment.
First, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a kind of note distribution device 20, such as Fig. 2, including deposits paper money mouthful 21, dig paper money wheel 22, divide
Paper money wheel 23, separating wheel 24, in addition to：The riding wheel structure 30 of deadweight press-note as described above.
Secondly, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a kind of financial self-service equipment, including as described above include riding wheel structure
30 note distribution device 20.The financial self-service equipment is specifically as follows ATM, or cash recycling system.
As described above, technical scheme of the embodiment of the present invention is that there is provided a kind of riding wheel structure, and bag for a kind of brand-new design
The new note distribution device of the riding wheel structure, and financial self-service equipment etc. have been included, can have been realized most in the case of no money pressing plate
The digging note distribution of bank note afterwards；So as to ensure that pick-up portion withdrawal stability.
Technical scheme of the embodiment of the present invention, the increased riding wheel structure on note distribution device, its riding wheel and bank note separating wheel constitute defeated
Roller pair structure is sent, riding wheel is pressed under self gravitation effect on the banknote between riding wheel and bank note separating wheel, it is ensured that enough pressures
Paper money power, can increase frictional force, improve carrying capacity, realize the smooth note distribution conveying of all bank note, contribute to solution to deposit in paper money mouthful most
The problem of several banknote note distributions are difficult afterwards.
To sum up, technical scheme of the embodiment of the present invention is used to aid in note distribution, can effectively improve the note distribution performance of note distribution device, carry
The availability and reliability of high financial self-service equipment.
In the above-described embodiments, the description to each embodiment all emphasizes particularly on different fields, and is not described in some embodiment
Part, may refer to the associated description of other embodiments.
Above-described embodiment is merely illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention, rather than its limitations；The ordinary skill people of this area
Member should be understood：It can still modify to the technical scheme described in the various embodiments described above, or to which part skill
Art feature carries out equivalent substitution；And these modifications or replacement, the essence of appropriate technical solution is departed from each reality of the invention
Apply the spirit and scope of a technical scheme.
