    Abstract: An automatic teller machine includes a banknote conveyance channel, a banknote recycling channel, and a banknote circulation channel. The banknote conveyance channel includes an annular channel, a first branch channel, a second branch channel, a third branch channel, a fourth branch channel, and a fifth branch channel. A banknote-in mechanism communicates with the annular channel via the first branch channel. A temporary storage mechanism communicates with the annular channel via the second branch channel. A banknote-out mechanism communicates with the annular channel via the third branch channel. Two ends of an identification mechanism communicate with the annular channel via the fourth branch channel and the fifth branch channel, respectively. A recycling box communicates with the banknote conveyance channel via the banknote recycling channel. A circulation box communicates with the banknote circulation channel via the banknote circulation channel.

    Abstract: Provided are a banknote temporary storage mechanism (400) and a banknote processing device. The banknote temporary storage mechanism (400) is configured to enable the banknote to smoothly fall without getting jammed. The banknote temporary storage mechanism (400) includes a frame (8), a first door (1) pivotally connected to the frame (8), and a banknote pushing mechanism (4). The first door (1) has an open position and a closed position. The banknote pushing mechanism (4) includes a banknote pushing member (44). The banknote pushing member (44) is movably connected to the first door (1), and protrudes from a banknote support surface of the first door (1). The banknote pushing member (44) is configured to, as the first door (1) rotates towards the open position from the closed position, to move relative to the first door (1) along a direction in which a banknote is disengaged from the first door (1), to push the banknote to be disengaged from the first door (1).

    Abstract: Disclosed is a banknote processing device and a banknote processing method. The banknote processing device includes an identification mechanism, an in-out mechanism, a loading box, a circulating box, a main passage, an auxiliary passage, an in-out passage, a loading passage, and a circulating passage. The auxiliary passage is of annular shape, and both ends of the main passage are each connected to the auxiliary passage. A banknote is allowed to move in a one-way direction along a preset direction in the auxiliary passage. The identification mechanism is disposed in the main passage. The in-out passage is connected between the main passage and the in-out mechanism. A first end of the circulating passage is connected to the main passage. A second end of the circulating passage is connected to the circulating box. A first end of the loading passage is connected to the auxiliary passage, and a second end of the loading passage is connected to the loading passage.

    Abstract: A vending machine comprises a cabinet, a rotating mechanism and a linkage mechanism. The cabinet comprises a cabinet body and a cabinet door pivotally connected to the cabinet body. An accommodating space is arranged in the cabinet body. An opening communicated with the accommodating space is arranged on the cabinet body. The cabinet door is capable of opening or closing the opening. The rotating mechanism is arranged in the cabinet body and is rotatable relative to the cabinet body. The cabinet door drives the rotating mechanism to rotate via the linkage mechanism, when the cabinet door is rotated toward a set position from a closed position.

    Abstract: Disclosed are a vending machine and a method of detecting height of a storage column. The vending machine may determine whether a sensor squarely faces the front end surface of the level plate of a storage column by detecting the type of an output signal of the sensor. When the sensor squarely faces the front end surface of the level plate of the storage column, the height of the level plate of the storage column may be obtained based on a height difference between the sensor and the bearing surface of a bucket and the height of the bucket. Thus, according to the height of the level plate of the storage column, the bearing surface of the bucket and the upper edge of the front end surface of the level plate of the storage column lie in the same level when dispensing an item.

    Abstract: Disclosed are a cash box and a banknote processing device using the same. The cash box includes: a guiding plate, configured to guide a banknote to enter a banknote storage chamber; a pickup roller, configured to output the banknote; and a sensor, configured to detect a position of the guiding plate and a position of the pickup roller. When the guiding plate is in a banknote feeding position or the pickup roller is in a banknote pickup position, the sensor outputs a first signal. When the guiding plate deviates from the banknote feeding position and the pickup roller deviates from the banknote pickup position, the sensor outputs a second signal, wherein the first signal is different from the second signal.

    Abstract: An image sensor and a banknote processing apparatus are provided. The image sensor includes a first photosensitive assembly and a first light source assembly which is configured to irradiate light to an original, and further includes a first lens array configured to aggregate light reflected by the original to the first photosensitive assembly, and a light-entering surface of the first lens array is located in a transmission path of reflected light generated due to specular reflection occurred when light emitted from the first light source assembly irradiates on the original. According to different image grayscale values generated by the image sensor, the banknote processing apparatus judges whether a banknote surface is stuck to an adhesive tape.
