The invention also provides a card supplementing method which is suitable for the automatic teller machine; as shown in fig. 5, the card supplementing method includes:

step S1: the service person places a plurality of bank cards stacked in order in the vertical direction on the transfer unit 20 of the automated teller machine at the initial position through the opening portion of the automated teller machine.

Specifically, the service person places a plurality of bank cards stacked in order in the vertical direction on the transfer unit 20 of the teller machine at the initial position through the card placing port 13.

Step S2: the plurality of bank cards are sequentially transported to the card reading position of the teller machine one by one in the order from top to bottom by the transfer assembly 20, and the card reader 30 reads the card number of the bank card at the card reading position.

Specifically, after each bank card is transported to the card reading position by the transfer assembly 20, the card replenishing method further includes: at least part of the first pushing member 51 of the teller machine is extended to push the bank card at the card reading position into the card insertion slot of the card reader 30, so that the card reader 30 reads the card number of the bank card in the card insertion slot.

Step S21: if the card reader 30 fails to read, the automatic teller machine interrupts the operation and reports errors, so that the service personnel can overturn the failed bank card through the opening part; and then the card reader 30 re-reads the turned bank card, so that the card reader 30 can read successfully.

Specifically, if the card reader 30 fails to read, the teller machine interrupts operation and reports errors, and after the teller machine interrupts operation and reports errors, at least part of the first pushing member 51 is retracted, so that the bank card in the card slot is withdrawn from the card slot, and then the service personnel can flip and read the failed bank card through the opening.

Specifically, the service person turns over the failed bank card through the mounting opening.

Step S3: if the card reader 30 successfully reads, checking the card number read by the card reader 30; if the card number read by the card reader 30 fails to be checked, the automatic teller machine interrupts the operation and reports errors, so that the service personnel can replace the bank card which fails to be checked through the opening part; and re-reading and checking the replaced bank card until the check is successful.

Specifically, when the verification of the card number read by the card reader 30 fails, and after the operation is interrupted and the error is reported by the teller machine, the card supplementing method further includes: at least part of the first pushing member 51 is retracted to enable the bank card in the card slot to be withdrawn from the card slot, and then a service person can replace the bank card failing to verify through the opening.

It should be noted that the failure of the card number check means that the card number of the bank card is wrong.

Specifically, the method for verifying the card number read by the card reader 30 includes: among the plurality of card numbers acquired by the control component, the control component compares each card number acquired by the control component with the last card number acquired by the control component, and judges whether the two card numbers are continuous or not; if the two card numbers are judged to be continuous, the bank card of the next card number in the two card numbers is judged to be successful in verification, namely the next card number in the two card numbers is judged to be correct; if the two card numbers are not continuous, the bank card verification of the next card number in the two card numbers is judged to be failed, namely the error of the next card number in the two card numbers is judged.

Specifically, the service personnel replace the bank card that failed verification through the installation opening.

Step S4: the transfer module 20 transfers the bank card successfully checked to the transfer position of the teller machine, so that the transfer module 40 of the teller machine clamps the bank card at the transfer position and transfers the bank card clamped by the transfer module to the predetermined position of the teller machine.

Specifically, when the verification of the card number read by the card reader 30 is successful, at least part of the first pushing member 51 is retracted, so that the bank card in the card slot is withdrawn from the card slot, and the transfer assembly 20 transfers the bank card successfully verified to the transfer position.

In this embodiment, in the process of transferring the bank card clamped by the transfer component 40 to the predetermined position, the card supplementing method further includes: the bank cards falling from the waiting position of the teller machine are counted by the counting section 70.

In this embodiment, the control assembly is communicatively coupled to the counting component 70 of the teller machine; after the counting component 70 counts the preset number of bank cards, the control component compares the first card number and the last card number in the preset number of bank cards obtained by the control component with the first card number and the last card number pre-stored in the control component respectively so as to judge whether the first card number and the last card number are consistent. The first card number refers to the first card number successfully read by the card reader 30, and the last card number refers to the last card number successfully read by the card reader 30 and successfully verified.

Alternatively, the preset number is equal to the number of the plurality of bank cards placed on the transfer unit 20 at the initial position through the opening.

Specifically, if the first card number in the preset number of bank cards is consistent with the first card number prestored in the control assembly, and the last card number in the preset number of bank cards is consistent with the last card number prestored in the control assembly, completing card supplementing; at this time, a preset number of bank cards are all already located on the carrier 60 and stacked, so that at least part of the third pushing member 53 extends out to push out the preset number of bank cards stacked on the carrier 60 from the card outlet 12 together.

Further, if the first card number in the preset number of bank cards is consistent with the first card number pre-stored in the control component and the last card number in the preset number of bank cards is consistent with the last card number pre-stored in the control component, the preset number of bank cards are all located on the carrier 60 and stacked, the carrier 60 is rotated to enable the bank cards on the carrier 60 to be changed from the first state to the second state, and at least part of the third pushing piece 53 is extended to push the preset number of bank cards in the second state stacked on the carrier 60 out of the card outlet 12.

Specifically, if the first card number in the preset number of bank cards is inconsistent with the first card number prestored in the control component, or the last card number in the preset number of bank cards is inconsistent with the last card number prestored in the control component, reporting errors; at this time, the preset number of bank cards are all placed on the carrier 60 and stacked, so that the service personnel can take out all the preset number of stacked bank cards on the carrier 60 together through the opening. After all the preset number of bank cards are taken out by the business personnel, the manual check of the card numbers is carried out, the corresponding bank cards are replaced, and after finishing, the step S1 is started again.

Alternatively, the pre-stored first and last card numbers may be pre-stored in the data storage module.

In this embodiment, after the counting unit 70 counts the preset number of bank cards, the counting unit 70 sends the final counting result to the control component, and the control component obtains the final counting result; the final count is the number of all bank cards that drop onto the carrier 60, i.e. the preset number; the control component compares the obtained final counting result with a card quantity value prestored in the teller machine; if the final counting result obtained by the control component is consistent with the card number value pre-stored in the teller machine, the control component compares the first card number and the last card number in the preset number of bank cards obtained by the control component with the first card number and the last card number pre-stored in the control component respectively; if the final counting result obtained by the control component is inconsistent with the card quantity value prestored in the teller machine, reporting errors; at this time, the preset number of bank cards are all placed on the carrier 60 and stacked, so that the service personnel can take out all the preset number of stacked bank cards on the carrier 60 together through the opening. And after all the preset number of bank cards are taken out by the business personnel, manually checking the card numbers, supplementing the corresponding bank cards, and restarting from the step S1 after finishing.

Alternatively, the pre-stored card quantity values may be pre-stored in the data storage module.

Specifically, verifying the count result includes: the control component compares the obtained final counting result with the card quantity value pre-stored in the teller machine, and the control component compares the obtained first card number and the last card number in the preset number of bank cards with the first card number and the last card number pre-stored in the control component respectively.

Specifically, the service person takes out all of the preset number of stacked bank cards on the carrier 60 together through the mounting opening.

In this embodiment, in the card supplementing process, when the card number of any one bank card cannot be read or when the card number of any one bank card fails to be checked, the service personnel can take out all the bank cards in the teller machine through the opening portion, replace or turn over the corresponding bank cards outside the teller machine, and begin again from step S1 after finishing.

Specifically, the service person takes out all the bank cards in the teller machine through the installation opening.

The automatic teller machine only needs a business person to pre-store a first card number and a last card number in the automatic teller machine and pre-store card quantity values, and then sequentially arranges all new cards into the first cavity part 111 according to the sequence of the card numbers with the front face facing downwards and the back face facing upwards, and then waits for the automatic card replenishment of the automatic teller machine, wherein the automatic teller machine can automatically perform the functions of judging the front and back faces of the cards, checking the sequence of the card numbers, counting the cards and the like; if no error is reported in the middle, the method is successfully completed; if the error is reported in the middle, namely, the situations of reverse card placement, discontinuous card number, mismatching of information and business personnel input and the like occur in the middle, the automatic teller machine can interrupt operation and report the error so as to prompt the business personnel to take out the card for verification according to the error report prompt.
