Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bill acceptor for use with an automatic vending machine and more particularly, to a bill position adjustment method and system for a bill acceptor, which automatically adjust the width of the bill passage to correct the direction of an inserted bill into accurate alignment with a recognition device for accurate recognition.
  • a bill acceptor has recognition means to recognize the authenticity of a bill before receiving it.
  • the bill passage of a bill acceptor is specifically designed for a particular bill of one specific width. Because different bills issued from different countries have different sizes (length, width and thickness) and different anti-counterfeit characteristics at different locations. A bill that is inserted into a bill acceptor must be kept in accurate alignment with the recognition device so that the recognition device can accurate recognize the anti-counterfeit characteristics. If an inserted bill is biased, the recognition device may reject the bill due to a recognition error. In this case, the user must insert the bill again, causing inconvenience.
  • a transmission mechanism is controlled to transfer the bill to a bill box. If a bill is biased when it is being transferred to the bill box, it may be curved in the bill box, lowering the available space of the bill box, or jammed in the bill entrance of the bill box, causing a machine failure.
  • the present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is therefore one object of the present invention to provide a bill position adjustment method and system for a bill acceptor, which automatically adjusts the width of the bill passage to correct the direction of an inserted bill into accurate alignment with a recognition device for accurate recognition. It is another object of the present invention to provide a bill position adjustment method and system for bill acceptor, which automatically corrects the direction of an inserted bill without wrinkling the bill. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a bill position adjustment method and system for bill acceptor, which fits different kinds of bills having different sizes and different anti-counterfeit designs.
  • the bill position adjustment system for bill acceptor comprises a body with an insertion slot and a bill passage, a transmission mechanism for transferring an inserted bill, a recognition device for recognizing the authenticity and value of an inserted bill, an entrance sensor and a stoppage sensor mounted in the bill passage for controlling the transmission mechanism to transfer the inserted bill into position for recognition, a bill passage adjustment mechanism for adjusting the width of the bill passage to correct the direction of an inserted bill into accurate alignment with the recognition device, and a bill sensor mounted in a sensor zone in the bill insertion slot for detecting the width of an inserted bill and controlling the bill passage adjustment mechanism to adjust the width of the bill passage subject to the detection result.
  • the bill passage adjustment mechanism comprises at least one first adjustment device and at least one second adjustment device arranged at two opposite lateral sides of the bill passage and movable transversely relative to the bill passage to adjust the width between the at least one first adjustment device and the at least one second adjustment device, and a plurality of driving devices controllable to move the at least one first adjustment device and the at least one second adjustment device separately. Because the at least one first adjustment device and the at least one second adjustment device are separately moved to correct the direction of an inserted bill, correcting the direction of an inserted bill does not wrinkle or deform the bill.
  • a bill acceptor comprising a body 1, a bill passage adjustment mechanism 2, a transmission mechanism 3, a movable bill impression mechanism 4 and a recognition device 5.
  • the body 1 comprises a bill passage 11 for allowing a bill 6 to pass, an insertion slot 12 extending to the outside and disposed in communication with the bill passage 11 for the insertion of a bill 6 into the bill passage 11, at least one, for example, a sensor zone 13 defined in an inner side of the insertion slot 12, at least one bill sensor 131 installed in the sensor zone 13 and adapted to detect the width and position of a bill 6 being inserted into the insertion slot 12, an entrance sensor 14 mounted in the rear side of the insertion slot 12 in front of the bill passage 11 and adapted to detect the presence of a bill 6, and a stoppage sensor 15 installed in a rear side of the bill passage 11 and adapted to detect stoppage of a bill 6.
  • the bill passage adjustment mechanism 2 is mounted in the body 1 between the entrance sensor 14 and the stoppage sensor 15 and adapted to adjust the width of the bill passage 11 subject to the control of the at least one sensor zone 13.
  • the bill passage adjustment mechanism 2 comprises a plurality of driving devices 21 operable subject to the control of the at least one bill sensor 131, and a plurality of adjustment devices 2222' respectively coupled to and movable by the driving devices 21 to adjust the width of the bill passage 11 subject to the control of the at least one bill sensor 131.
  • the driving devices 21 are mounted in the bottom side of the bill passage 1, each comprising a rotary member 211 and two arms 2111 that are perpendicularly extended from the rotary member 211 and define therebetween a sliding way 2112.
  • the adjustment devices 22 are respectively coupled to the driving devices 21 and suspending in the bill passage 11 at two opposite lateral sides of the bill passage 11, each comprising a plurality of sliding members 221 movable along fixed guide rods 23 in the bottom side of the bill passage 11, a barrel 222 vertically disposed on the middle, an axle 223 inserted through the barrel 222, and a bearing 224 mounted on the bottom end of the axle 223 and coupled to the sliding way 2112 between the two arms 211 of one associating driving device 21. Further, spring members 24 are respectively sleeved onto one of the fixed guide rods 23 and stopped against the adjustment devices 22,22'.
  • the transmission mechanism 3 is mounted in the body 1 at one side, namely, the bottom side of the bill passage 11 behind the sensor zone 13 and at an inner side relative to the adjustment devices 2222' of the bill passage adjustment mechanism 2, comprising a plurality of bill-transfer members 31 for transferring a bill 6 being inserted into the insertion slot 12.
  • the bill-transfer members 31 can be rollers, rolling balls, transmission belts or any other devices capable for transferring a bill 6.
  • the movable bill impression mechanism 4 is mounted in the body 1 at the other side, namely, the top side of the bill passage 11, comprised of a rotary shaft 41, an electromagnetic valve 42, a plurality of impression wheel brackets 43 arranged at two sides relative to the electromagnetic valve 42, two sensor switches 44 and a cover 45.
  • the rotary shaft 41 has two opposite coupling portions 411 respectively axially extended from the two distal ends thereof and pivotally coupled to the inside of the body 1, a plurality of coupling frames 412 extended from the periphery, a plurality of pressure arms 413 extended from the periphery and facing the impression wheel brackets 43, and a shield plate 414 perpendicularly extended from one coupling portion 411.
  • the coupling frames 412 define therebetween a receiving space 4121.
  • each two adjacent coupling frames 412 have a notch 4122.
  • the electromagnetic valve 42 comprises a reciprocating valve rod 421 inserted into the receiving space 4121 between the coupling frames 412 of the rotary shaft 41, a pin 422 transversely inserted through the reciprocating valve rod 421 and coupled to the notches 4122 of the two associating coupling frames 412, and a spring member 423 mounted on the reciprocating valve rod 421.
  • Each impression wheel bracket 43 comprises two coupling rods 431 respectively pivotally coupled to the inside of the body 1, two suspension arms 432 respectively extended from the coupling rods 431, an impression wheel 433 pivotally coupled between the suspension arms 432 and suspending in the bill passage 11 inside the body 1, a bearing portion 434 extended in direction away from the suspension arms 432 for pressing by one pressure arm 413 of the rotary shaft 41, a locating member 435, and a spring member 436 connected with its one end to the locating member 435.
  • the two sensor switches 44 are disposed at two sides relative to the shield plate 414 of the rotary shaft 41, and inducible by the shield plate 414 to control the operation of the electromagnetic valve 42.
  • the cover 45 defines an accommodation space 450 for accommodating the rotary shaft 41, the electromagnetic valve 42 and the impression wheel brackets 43, and has locating members 451 for the connection of the other ends of the spring members 436 of the impression wheel brackets 43.
  • the recognition device 5 is installed in the body 1 behind the bill passage adjustment mechanism 2, having sensor means for detecting the anti-counterfeit characteristics of an inserted bill 6.
  • the bill position adjustment method runs subject to the following steps:
  • the entrance sensor 14 when a bill 6 is inserted into the insertion slot 12 to touch the entrance sensor 14, the entrance sensor 14 outputs a signal, causing the transmission mechanism 3 to move the bill-transfer members 31 in transferring the bill 6 forwards.
  • the stoppage sensor 15 When the bill 6 touches the stoppage sensor 15, the stoppage sensor 15 outputs a signal to stop the transmission mechanism 3.
  • the transmission mechanism 3 is stopped, the bill 6 is kept between two adjustment devices 22, and the at least one bill sensor 131 in the sensor zone 13 detects the width and biasing direction of the bill 6 and provides the detection data to the control circuit (not shown) that controls the operation of the bill passage adjustment mechanism 2.
  • the movable bill impression mechanism 4 moves the impression wheels 433 away from the bill 6, and the bill passage adjustment mechanism 2 drives the driving devices 21 to move the adjustment devices 2222' that are arranged at one lateral side in the bill passage 11 subject to the detection of the at least one bill sensor 131 (in case the bill 6 is biased rightwards, the right-sided adjustment device 22 is moved at first). Thereafter, the bill passage adjustment mechanism 2 drives the driving devices 21 to move the adjustment device 22' that is arranged at the other lateral side in the bill passage 11, thereby correcting the direction of the bill 6 into accurate alignment with the recognition device 5 for authenticity recognition.
  • the movable bill impression mechanism 4 is driven to move the impression wheels 433 toward the bill 6, pressing the impression wheels 433 on the bill 6 against the bill-transfer members 31, and then the transmission mechanism 3 is driven to move the bill-transfer members 31 and to further transfer the bill 6 forwards, enabling the recognition device 5 to detect the authenticity of the bill 6.
  • one driving device 21 When one driving device 21 is started, it rotates the rotary member 211, causing the two arms 2111 to move the bearing 224 of the associating adjustment device 22, and therefore the associating adjustment device 22 is forced to move with its sliding members 221 along the associating fixed guide rods 23.
  • the adjustment device 22 When the adjustment device 22 is moving along the associating fixed guide rods 23 in one direction, the spring members 24 are compressed.
  • the spring members 24 force the associating adjustment device 2222' back to its former position.
  • the electromagnetic valve 42 is driven to retract the reciprocating valve rod 421 and the pin 422, causing the coupling frames 412 to be moved by the pin 422 in one direction, and therefore the rotary shaft 41 is biased in one direction.
  • the pressure arms 413 are biased with the rotary shaft 41 in direction toward the bill passage 11 and pressed on the bearing portions 434 of the impression wheel brackets 43, thereby causing each impression wheel bracket 43 to turn in one direction, and therefore the impression wheel 433 is moved with the associating suspension arms 432 away from the bill passage 11.
  • the bill 6 is released from the constraint of the bill-transfer members 31 and the impression wheel 433, and can be corrected to the accurate position by the adjustment devices 2222'.
  • the spring member 423 When retracting the reciprocating valve rod 421 and the pin 422 to bias the rotary shaft 41, the spring member 423 is compressed. When the impression wheel brackets 43 are biased to move the associating impression wheels 433 away from the bill passage 11, the spring members 436 are compressed. After the adjustment devices 2222' pushed the bill 6 into the accurate position, the electromagnetic valve 42 is stopped, the spring member 423 returns the rotary shaft 4 to its former position, and the spring members 436 return the impression wheel brackets 43 to their former position. At this time, the bill-transfer members 31 and the impression wheel 433 are respectively pressed on the top and bottom sides of the bill 6, enabling the bill 6 to be transferred forwards by the bill-transfer members 31.
  • the at least one bill sensor 131 in the sensor zone 13 is induced to detect the width of the bill 6, causing the bill passage adjustment mechanism 2 to adjust the width of the bill passage 11 subject to the detection of the at least one bill sensor 131.
  • a database may be linked to the sensor zone 13. The database has stored therein data of widths, location of anti-counterfeit characteristics and location of value of different bills issued by a government or different governments. Subject to the data stored in the database, the at least one bill sensor 131 in the sensor zone 13 can accurately detect the width of a bill 6 being inserted into the insertion slot 12 so that the bill passage adjustment mechanism 2 can accurately adjust the width of the bill passage 11, avoiding a bill jam.
  • the at least one bill sensor 131 in the sensor zone 13 can be a reflective sensor, penetrative sensor, contact image sensor (CIS), linear sensor or any other optical sensing device.
  • the at least one bill sensor 131 can be installed in the bill passage 11 on the top, bottom, or one or both lateral sides, capable of accurately detecting the width and direction of the inserted bill 6.
  • the invention effectively eliminates the problem of using multiple recognition devices to detect different kinds of bill.
  • the adjustment devices 2222' are accurately controlled to move the bill 6 into accurate alignment with the recognition device 5 for accurate recognition of the authenticity of the bill 6. Therefore, only one single recognition device 5 is necessary, saving much the manufacturing cost of the bill acceptor.
