- A device for identifying financial bills piece by piece is generally installed in the machine for processing financial bills, and after being identified piece by piece, the bills which are conveyed piece by piece are stacked to facilitate withdrawing the bills. For example, in a conventional automatic teller machine, multiple sheets of stacked banknotes are sorted, conveyed and identified piece by piece, and then are stacked to be delivered out. At present, in a sheet-type media stacking device, in which the media are conveyed in a longitudinal direction, such as a banknote stacking device, a conveyor belt fits closely to an arc-shaped plate to convey a single sheet of banknote to a specific location to be stacked. For example, the first sheet of banknote is settled in the specific location, a front end of the second sheet of banknote is superposed on a tail end of the first sheet of banknote, and the first sheet of banknote and the second sheet of banknote are clamped by the conveyor belt and the arc-shaped plate to move forwards together, and the first sheet of banknote stops moving forward when its front end reaches a predetermined blocking member. The second sheet of banknote is driven by the conveyor belt to overcome the frictional force between the first and second banknotes and continue to slide forward, and stops moving forward until it reaches the predetermined blocking member. The third sheet of banknote and subsequent banknotes go through the same process as the first and second sheets of banknotes, that is, the front end of a subsequent sheet of banknote is superposed on the tail end of a previous banknote and the banknotes are all conveyed to the predetermined blocking member, to be stacked. Eventually, the front ends of all the banknotes are aligned to the predetermined movable blocking plate, and a whole stack of banknotes are delivered to a predetermined position for an operator.
- With the development of technology, the processing speed of a sheet-type media processing device is greatly increased, requirements for movement speeds of the sheet-type media in a device are increased accordingly, however in the above conventional mechanism, for ensuring that the front end of a subsequent sheet of banknote can be superposed on the tail end of a previous sheet of banknote, the previous sheet of banknote must stop at a predetermined position, the conveyor belt must start instantaneously at a high acceleration to reach the same linear speed as other devices after the front end of the subsequent sheet of banknote is superposed on the tail end of the previous sheet of banknote for a certain distance, the conveyor belt is stretched in the process, a driving force for the conveyor belt stops when the banknotes moves to the predetermined position, and the conveyor belt rebounds to drive the banknotes to wriggle and draw back, thus front ends of the banknotes form an inverted triangle slope, and the banknotes sent to users in a whole stack show an unsatisfactory banknote stacking effect.
- An object of the present application is to provide a sheet-type media stacking device for effectively addressing the issue of a whole stack of media wriggling and draw backing.
- The sheet-type media stacking device includes:
-
- a piece-by-piece sheet-type media conveying mechanism configured to convey a sheet-type medium piece by piece;

- a control unit configured to control the upper conveyor belt to move or stop moving according to information feedback from the sensor device;
- wherein, an acanthus-shaped protruding rib is arranged at a position, at a distance of a length of one sheet of the sheet-type medium from the movable blocking mechanism, on the arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped stacking plate, and the acanthus-shaped protruding rib allows the sheet-type media to pass only in a discharging direction.
- Preferably, at least two acanthus-shaped protruding ribs are provided, and the at least two acanthus protruding ribs are arranged in a front-rear order along the discharging direction of the sheet-type media.
- Preferably, the arc-shaped stacking device includes the following three sections, a section near the piece-by-piece sheet-type media conveying mechanism forms a rear arc-shaped plate, a section near the outlet for media forms a front arc-shaped plate, and a middle section forms a reversing device.
- Furthermore, a recycling conveyor belt assembly and a discharging conveyor belt assembly are arranged below the reversing device and the front arc-shaped plate, wherein at least a section of the recycling conveyor belt assembly fits with a section of the discharging conveyor belt assembly to form a recycling conveying passage for the sheet-type media.

The delivering floatingsupport 229 is provided with two rows of roller sets 230 corresponding to thesecond conveyor belt 222. The roller sets 230 may make the working surface of thesecond conveyor belt 222 higher or lower than the upper arc-shaped surface of the front arc-shapedplate 19 through the swinging of the delivering floatingsupport 229. Athird conveyor belt 233 of the thirdconveyor belt assembly 23 is arranged around athird driving roller 232 and the third drivenroller 231. - Referring to
FIGS. 12 to 16 , the process for realizing the function of the stacking and withdrawing device is illustrated. When the banknotes are to be returned, themovable blocking plate 20 is in the closed state as shown inFIG. 12 , to prevent the banknotes from moving in the advancing direction of banknotes. The delivering floatingsupport 229 is in the first position, to make the working surface of the upper section of thesecond conveyor belt 222 lower than the upper arc-shaped surface of the front arc-shapedplate 19, thus, when slipping along the arc-shaped plate, the banknotes will not contact the working surface of thesecond conveyor belt 222. The reversingdevice 25 is in the first position, to allow the banknotes to pass along the arc-shaped surface smoothly. The first sheet ofbanknote 27 is delivered out by the upper deliveringconveyor belt 11 and the lower deliveringconveyor belt 12, the front end of the banknote passes through the first sensor device 17 (an acquisition module), thesensor 17 feeds back an information to a processing module of the control system, and the processing module processes the information and then sends out a signal, to start a first driving motor (an execution module) immediately or start the first driving motor after a period of time, thereby driving the firstconveyor belt assembly 15, the secondconveyor belt assembly 22 and the thirdconveyor belt assembly 23 to rotate in the direction shown inFIG. 12 . The firstconveyor belt assembly 15 cooperates with the rear arc-shapedplate 18 to convey the banknote forward, thesensor 17 feeds back an information to the processing module of the control system when the tail end of the banknote leaves thefirst sensor device 17, and the processing module processes the information and sends out a signal to stop the first driving motor, and in this case, all of the conveyor belt assemblies are stopped, the banknote stops atposition 182 with the tail end being exposed behind the firstconveyor belt assembly 15. When the second sheet ofbanknote 28 is delivered out, the front end of the second sheet of banknote passes through thefirst sensor device 17, thefirst sensor device 17 feeds back an information to the control system, and the control system sends out a signal for starting the first driving motor, to start the first driving motor immediately or after a period of time, thereby driving the first conveyor belt assembly, the second conveyor belt assembly and the third conveyor belt assembly to rotate in the direction shown inFIG. 13 . The front end of the second sheet ofbanknote 28 is superposed on the tail end of the first sheet ofbanknote 27, and the two sheets of banknotes which are partially overlapped are conveyed forward together by the firstconveyor belt assembly 15. After the tail end of the second sheet of banknote leaves thefirst sensor device 17, thefirst sensor device 17 feeds back information to the control system, and the control system stops the first driving motor, and the second sheet of banknote stops at theposition 182. The third sheet of banknote and the subsequent banknotes are conveyed in the same manner, in which the front end of a subsequent sheet of banknote is superposed on the tail end of a previous sheet of banknote. When the front end of the first sheet ofbanknote 27 reaches themovable blocking plate 20, the banknote is prevented from moving forward, a bottom surface of the first sheet ofbanknote 27 fits closely to the acanthus-shaped protrudingribs 252 of the reversingdevice 25, the tail end of the banknote is blocked by thestop surface 254, the banknote slips with respect to thefirst conveyor belt 153, and the first sheet ofbanknote 27 is blocked in the wriggling direction, thus may not wriggle and draw back. As shown in FIG. 15, the third sheet of banknote and the subsequent banknotes go through the same process, and the front ends thereof are eventually aligned to themovable blocking plate 20. - After all of the banknotes are delivered out, that is, the banknotes have been processed, the control system sends out a signal to control the second motor, to shift the
movable blocking plate 20 to the open state as shown inFIG. 16 , thereby removing the blockage in the advancing direction of the banknotes. Meanwhile, the delivering floatingsupport 229 is shifted to the second position to make the working surface of thesecond conveyor belt 222 higher than the upper arc-shaped surface of the front arc-shapedplate 19, thus the working surface of thesecond conveyor belt 222 is in contact with the banknotes. The first driving motor is started to drive the first conveyor belt assembly, the second conveyor belt assembly and the third conveyor belt assembly to rotate in the direction shown inFIG. 16 . The banknotes are clamped between the firstconveyor belt assembly 15 and the secondconveyor belt assembly 22 to be delivered out, and thepressing plate 158 may automatically adjust the gap between thepinch roller 156 and thesecond pinch roller 224 according to the total thickness of the banknotes. According to the time counting of the controlling program, the transmission structure stops the conveyor belts when the banknotes are delivered out for a certain distance, and the tail ends of the banknotes are clamped between thepinch roller 156 and thesecond pinch roller 224, thereby accomplishing the delivering process. In the case that the whole stack of the delivered banknotes haven't been withdrawn by the operator timely, themovable blocking plate 20 and the reversingdevice 25 of the stacking and withdrawing device are shifted to the position as shown inFIG. 7 , the control system controls the first conveyor belt assembly, the second conveyor belt assembly and the third conveyor belt assembly to rotate in the reversed direction, and the whole stack of banknotes are conveyed reversely under the action of the first conveyor belt assembly and the second conveyor belt assembly and guided into therecycling box 52 by the reversingdevice 25 in the reverse conveying process. - The embodiments described hereinabove are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and should not be interpreted as limitation to the present application. The technical solutions claimed by the present application not only can be applied to the financial field for processing banknotes, but also can process checks or other whole stack of sheet-type media which are required to be separated piece by piece. Therefore, for those skilled in the art, a few of modifications and improvements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and these modifications and improvements are also deemed to fall into the scope of the present application.
