Coin counting and storage mechanism

Abstract

The invention discloses a coin counting and storage mechanism which comprises a motor-driven conveying belt, a coin feeding hopper, an infrared sensor and a coin collection barrel, wherein the conveying belt comprises two mutually parallel belt parts assembled on a group of belt pulleys; a gap is reserved between the two belt parts; the two belt parts face over against the gap; an emitter and a receiver of the infrared sensor are arranged above and below the conveying belt respectively; the infrared sensor is in signal connection with a counter; the coin feeding hopper is arranged above an input end of the conveying belt; a port of a small end of the coin feeding hopper faces downwards and over against the conveying belt; a horizontal shelf plate is arranged on the lower side of an output end of the conveying belt; the coin collection barrel with an opening facing upwards is laid on the shelf plate; and the coin collection barrel is connected with the output end of the conveying belt by a declivitous delivery plate. The mechanism can count and collect coins simultaneously, and is simple in structure, and convenient to maintain and popularize, and re-checking of counting can be achieved by counting the quantity of the coin collect barrels, so that the accuracy of the counting is further ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to counting and storing, in particular to counting and storing of coins. Background technique [0002] The amount of coins used in modern life is quite large, especially in supermarkets, banks, hospitals and other places, where a large number of coins are circulated every day. In daily inventory, the counting and storage of coins has become a problem. The workload of manual counting and storage is cumbersome and error-prone. Estimating the number of coins by weighing is also prone to errors. [0003] There are also some devices used for counting or storing coins in the market, but some of these devices are too complicated in structure and high in manufacturing cost, so they are not suitable for popularization, application and daily maintenance. Some of them only have a single counting or storage function, and the function is single. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mechanism that can accurately calculate the number of co...
