The direction of the pivoting portion 241 of the first link 24 is moved to move the pressure plate 221 to the retracted state. The use of the inclined block structure with the guiding surface as the driving component is advantageous for improving the accuracy of the driving action.

The elastic member 28 serves to keep the pressure plate 221 always moving toward the extended state. In this embodiment, the elastic member 28 is a torsion spring that is sleeved on the hinge shaft 26 and has one end connected to the first link 24 and the other end connected to the second link 25. Under the action of the torsion of the torsion spring, the sliding portion 242 of the first link 24 always has a tendency to move along the first support groove 214 toward the pivot portion 251 of the second link 25, and the second link 25 The sliding portion 252 always has a tendency to move in the direction of the second supporting groove 222 toward the pivot portion 241 of the first link 24, so that the pressure plate 221 always has a tendency to move toward the extended state. At this time, if the bill is stacked on the bottom plate 82, the pressing plate 221 presses the bill stacked on the bottom plate 82.

In other embodiments provided by the present invention, the elastic member 28 may also be a tension spring. One end of the tension spring is connected to the support frame 21, and the other end is connected to the sliding portion 242 of the first link 24. Under the action of the tension of the tension spring, the sliding portion 242 of the first link 24 always has a tendency to move along the first support groove 214 toward the pivot portion 251 of the second link 25, or one end of the tension spring It is connected to the pressure plate 221, and the other end is connected to the sliding portion 252 of the second link 25. Under the action of the tension of the tension spring, the sliding portion 252 of the second link 25 always has the first support along the second support groove 222. The tendency of the pivoting portion 241 of the rod 24 to move in the direction of movement causes the pressure plate 221 to always have a tendency to move toward the extended state.

Preferably, the ticket pressing mechanism 2 further includes an elastic pressing piece 29. The elastic pressing piece 29 has a sheet-like structure and is composed of The elastic pressing piece 29 has one end connected to the pressing plate 221 and the other end suspended and extending in the direction of the bottom plate 82 for pushing the ticket into the ticket box by the ticket entrance 26, The surface of the ticket is pressed so that the ticket can be neatly stacked on the bottom plate 82.
