It should be noted that, in other embodiments provided by the present invention, when the scanning mechanism employs an electric coupling type image sensor as the image scanning device, a pressing roller opposite to the electric coupling type image sensor is not required to be provided.
The check processing equipment also comprises a plurality of groups of conveying rollers 3 arranged along the annular channel 4, and the conveying rollers are used for driving checks entering from the inlet 41 to move along the annular channel 4, conveying the checks to the recording mechanism and the double-sided scanning mechanism 2 in sequence, driving the checks to do circular motion in the annular channel 4, enabling the checks to pass through the recording mechanism and the double-sided scanning mechanism 2 for multiple times, and sending the checks out from the outlet 42 after the check processing is completed to wait for a user to take the checks away.
The controller is respectively electrically connected with the recording mechanism, the double-side scanning mechanism 2 and the reversing mechanism and is used for controlling each mechanism to execute corresponding operation.
The working process of the check processing apparatus provided by an embodiment of the present invention is described below:
when a user sends a check into the check processing equipment from the inlet 41, the controller drives each conveying roller 3 to rotate, the check is firstly sent to the printing mechanism 11, at this time, the printing mechanism 11 does not work, each conveying roller 3 continues to rotate, the check is driven to sequentially pass through the first scanning mechanism 21 and the second scanning mechanism 22 of the double-sided scanning mechanism 2 to be scanned for the first time, the first image sensor 211 and the second sensor 221 respectively scan the front side image and the back side image of the check, the acquired image information is sent to the controller, the controller carries out OCR recognition on the acquired double-sided image of the check to obtain OCR recognition data, the OCR recognition data is uploaded to a bank check management system, and the bank check management system compares the data with account information stored in the system to determine the authenticity of the check. When the bank check management system determines that the check is true during comparison, the bank check management system sends a check true signal to the controller, the controller controls the first driving piece to drive the first reversing plate 91 to move to the second position, the outlet 42 is closed, the check can only do circular motion in the circular channel, the check is driven to move along the circular channel 4 along with the continuous rotation of each conveying roller 3, the check is sent to the printing mechanism 11 again, the printing head 111 of the printing mechanism 11 prints endorsement information on the back side of the check, then the check is sent to the double-side scanning mechanism 2 again for second scanning, at this moment, the first image sensor 211 does not work, the second image sensor 221 scans the back side image of the check, namely, the endorsement information of the check is scanned, the controller uploads the image information acquired by second scanning to the bank check management system, and after the back side information of the check is scanned, the controller controls the first drive member to drive the first diverter plate 91 to a first position in which the outlet 42 is in communication with the annular passage 4 and the check is delivered to the outlet 42 to await removal by the user; if the bank check management system determines that the check is false during comparison, a check false signal is sent to the controller, and the controller controls the first driving piece to drive the first reversing plate 91 to move to the first position according to the check false signal, so that the outlet 42 is communicated with the annular channel 4, the check is sent out from the outlet 42, and the user is reminded of unsuccessful operation.
Optionally, the working process of the check processing device may also be that after the double-sided scanning device scans the front and back sides of the check for the first time, the authenticity of the check is not judged, and the first reversing plate is directly controlled to reintroduce the check into the annular channel for endorsement printing and secondary scanning, so that the check processing speed is increased. At this moment, the image data of the front and back sides of the check acquired by the check processing equipment is directly sent to the bank check management system by the controller of the check processing equipment, the bank check management system carries out OCR recognition on the image information and compares the image information with account information stored in the system so as to determine the authenticity of the check.

Compared with the prior art, the check processing equipment provided by the embodiment can complete the scanning of the check images before and after processing by only arranging one set of scanning mechanism by utilizing the annular channel, so the cost of the check processing equipment is reduced.
Further, in the second mode, the check transportation is controlled only in one direction of the circular passage, so that the control is simplified, and the occurrence of abnormal control can be reduced.
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a third embodiment of a check processing apparatus provided by the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, the present embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that the check processing apparatus in the present embodiment further includes a magnetic reading mechanism 6 for reading magnetic ink character information on the check surface. The magnetic reading mechanism 6 comprises a magnetic head 61 and a pressure plate 62 which are oppositely arranged at two sides of the channel, wherein the magnetic head 61 is opposite to the front surface of the check, and when the check passes through the magnetic head 61 and the pressure plate 62, the magnetic head 61 can read the magnetic ink character information on the front surface of the check.
The magnetic reading mechanism 6 is arranged along the annular channel 4, and the check can do surrounding motion in the closed annular channel 4, so the arrangement positions of the recording mechanism, the double-sided scanning mechanism 2 and the magnetic reading mechanism 6 on the annular channel 4 can be arranged in no sequence. In this embodiment, the recording mechanism, the magnetic reading mechanism 6, and the duplex scanning mechanism 2 are arranged in sequence along the circular path 4 in the direction of movement of the check entering the circular path 4 from the entrance 41.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments provided by the present invention, after the magnetic head of the magnetic reading mechanism reads the magnetic ink character information on the front side of the check, the check processing device may directly perform the operations of the first scanning, the endorsement printing, and the second scanning without determining the authenticity of the check, thereby increasing the check processing speed. At this moment, the magnetic ink character information acquired by the check processing equipment and the image information of the front and back sides of the check are directly sent to the bank check management system by the controller of the check processing equipment, and the information acquired by the check processing equipment is recognized by the bank check management system and is compared with account information stored in the system to determine the authenticity of the check.
