Circular integrated cashpoint machine and banknote stacking apparatus therefor

A banknote stacking device, comprising:

• at least a transmission assembly for clamping and conveying banknotes to be stacked from a banknote conveying passage to the banknote stacking device;
• a stacking wheel for conveying the banknotes in a way that the banknotes are rotated together at a high speed;
• and
• a guide plate for guiding the banknotes to be stacked into the stacking wheel and guiding the banknotes to be stacked and conveyed by the stacking wheel to a banknote stacking frame;
• wherein, the transmission assembly comprise:
• a ratchet wheel assembly comprising a first transmission wheel, a ratchet wheel and a first conveyor belt tensioned on the first transmission wheel and the ratchet wheel, wherein the ratchet wheel comprises a drum-shaped wheel on which the first conveyor belt is sleeved and a plurality of ratchets distributed on outer peripheral edges at two ends of the drum-shaped wheel;
• and
• a clamping and conveying wheel assembly comprising a second transmission wheel, a clamping and conveying wheel and a second conveyor belt tensioned on the second transmission wheel and the clamping and conveying wheel;
• and wherein,
• the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt form a clamping and conveying passage, and the ratchets can be in contact with the banknotes conveyed out of the clamping and conveying passage;
• and
• wherein the guide plate is provided with arc-shaped protruding ribs for reducing a contact area between the banknote to be stacked and the guide plate;
• and
• wherein a portion of a surface of each protruding rib located between the transmission assembly and the stacking wheel has an arc-shaped guide surface, for guiding the banknote to be stacked into the stacking wheel.
