[0080] According to the structure described above, the coin sorting machine has a high degree of integration, and on the basis of satisfying the connection between various mechanisms, it occupies a small space, which contributes to the miniaturization and lightweight of the coin sorting machine.

[0081] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 4As shown, the single-layer limiting mechanism 4 includes a height limiting component 41 and an adjusting component 42; wherein the height limiting component 41 is connected to the frame 1 through the adjusting component 42, and the adjusting component 42 is threadedly connected to the frame 1;

[0086] The first floating wheel coin pressing assembly 531 and the second floating wheel coin pressing assembly 532 are both connected to the driving assembly 52 in a transmission manner; the first floating wheel coin pressing assembly 531 and the second floating wheel coin pressing assembly 532 can move along the height direction of the support frame 51;

[0088] According to the structure described above, the coin is firstly preliminarily detected by the image recognition component 55, that is, the shape, size and face value of the coin are determined, and then it is pressed forward by the first floating wheel coin pressing component 531, and then it is identified by the material by the identification component 54, and finally it is transported to the next workstation by the second floating wheel coin pressing component 532, so that the type of coin can be determined more comprehensively and accurately.

[0090] According to the structure described above, the first floating wheel coin pressing assembly 531 and the second floating wheel coin pressing assembly 532 can automatically float and adjust the coin running gap according to the different thicknesses of coins under the action of the elastic force applying member 57 .

[0091] Further, preferably, the first floating wheel coin pressing assembly 531 includes a first supporting member 5311, a first supporting shaft 5312 and a first floating wheel 5313; wherein the first supporting member 5311 is connected to the supporting frame 51;

[0092] The first supporting member 5311 is formed with a first installation cavity penetrating through three adjacent side portions thereof, that is, the first installation cavity penetrating through the front side, the rear side and the bottom of the first supporting member 5311, and will not block the coin transportation channel. Optionally, the first supporting member 5311 is an open shell structure formed by bending a thin plate;

[0093] The first support shaft 5312 is disposed in the first installation cavity and is movably connected to the first support member 5311. The first support shaft 5312 can move along the height direction of the first support member 5311.

[0094] One end of the elastic force applying member 57 is pressed on the first support shaft 5312 ; the first floating wheel 5313 is sleeved on the first support shaft 5312 and can rotate along the first support shaft 5312 .

[0096] The second supporting member 5321 is formed with a second installation cavity penetrating through three adjacent side portions thereof, that is, the second installation cavity penetrating through the front side, the rear side and the bottom of the second supporting member 5321, so as not to block the coin transport channel. Optionally, the first supporting member 5311 is an open shell structure formed by bending a thin plate;

[0097] The third support shaft 5323 is disposed in the second installation cavity and connected to the second support member 5321 ; the second floating wheel 5324 is sleeved on the third support shaft 5323 and can rotate along the third support shaft 5323 .

[0099] According to the structure described above, the driving wheel 521 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the driven wheel 522 to rotate. The driven wheel 522 drives the first floating wheel 5313 and the second floating wheel 5324 to rotate synchronously through the coin pressing synchronous belt 50. The coin pressing synchronous belt 50 presses the coins forward, which makes continuous detection and counterfeit identification operations possible.

[0100] In addition, when a thick coin passes under the first floating wheel 5313, the first floating wheel 5313 is lifted upward under the action of the coin, and the first support shaft 5312 is lifted synchronously. When a thin coin passes under the first floating wheel 5313, the coin is lower than the bottom surface of the first floating wheel 5313. Since the first floating wheel 5313 has no support, under the pressure of the elastic force member 57, the first support shaft 5312 and the first floating wheel 5313 connected thereto move downward to abut against the coin, thereby pressing the coin forward. The working principle of the second floating wheel pressing coin assembly 532 is the same as that of the first floating wheel pressing coin assembly 531, and will not be described in detail here.

[0101] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the image recognition assembly 55 includes a support member 551, a first image capturing device 552, a second image capturing device 553 and a wear-resistant bearing member 556; wherein the support frame 51 is formed with a mounting opening 511, the support member 551 is disposed at the mounting opening 511, and the support member 551 is connected to the support frame 51;

[0102] The wear-resistant bearing member 556 extends to and covers a portion of the installation opening 511, and the wear-resistant bearing member 556 is formed with a shooting hole;

[0104] According to the structure described above, the first image capturing device 552 can capture the upper surface of the coin, and the second image capturing device 553 can capture the lower surface of the coin through the shooting hole, thereby realizing image capture of both sides of the coin. The image has high integrity and accuracy, which helps to determine the face value, size, shape and other information of the coin, and helps to improve the accuracy of sorting. Among them, the coin moves forward on the wear-resistant bearing component 556. The wear-resistant bearing component 556 has good wear resistance and will not be worn due to long-term contact with the coin, and has a long service life.

[0105] Further, preferably, Figure 6 As shown, the image recognition component 55 also includes two coin twisting wheels, namely, a first coin twisting wheel 554 and a second coin twisting wheel, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the support member 551, and the first coin twisting wheel 554 and the second coin twisting wheel are respectively connected to the support member 56 through a rotating shaft 7255, and the two rotating shafts 7255 are respectively provided with two transmission gears 555 connected to each other, and one of the transmission gears 555 is connected to the driving component 52, and the first coin twisting wheel 554 and the second coin twisting wheel play the role of pressing the coin forward.

[0109] According to the structure described above, it can be known that the coin pressing and conveying assembly 72 is fixed to the frame 1 by clamping part of the structure of the frame 1 through the locking member 743 and the supporting base 741, so that the coin pressing and conveying assembly 72 can be stably pressed and conveyed coins forward, thereby improving the stability of the coin pressing and conveying mechanism during operation; when it is necessary to clean or inspect the bottom of the coin pressing and conveying assembly 72, the locking member 743 can be removed from the supporting base 741, so that the two can release the part of the structure of the frame 1 clamped therebetween, and then the coin pressing and conveying assembly 72 is rotated. When it is rotated to the specified position, a top edge of the supporting base 741 contacts the frame 1, and its swing angle exceeds the rotation center, and is supported on the frame 1. The operation is simple and convenient, while freeing both hands and reducing labor input.

[0110] Further, preferably, Fig.10 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, the coin pressing and conveying assembly 72 includes a supporting body 721, a main driving wheel 722, a tensioning wheel 723 and a plurality of floating wheels 724;

[0114] The main driving wheel 722, the tensioning wheel 723 and the plurality of floating wheels 724 are connected by a transmission belt.

[0115] Further, preferably, the main driving wheel 722 drives the floating wheel 724 and the tension wheel 723 to rotate through a transmission belt, thereby pressing the coin to move forward.

[0116] Among them, the tensioning wheel 723 can ensure that the transmission belt is always in a tensioned state, so that the transmission belt can always be pressed against the coins to ensure the normal transportation of the coins.

[0117] Since the thickness of coins is different, the gap needs to be self-adapted according to different coins, so the above structure is designed to make the upper and lower parts of the floating wheel 724 self-adapt to the coins to adjust.

[0118] Further, preferably, the coin pressing and conveying assembly 72 is rotatably connected to the support seat 71 through a connecting shaft, and a friction plate 73 is provided on the side of the connecting shaft located on the support seat 71 away from the coin pressing and conveying assembly 72. Mainly from the perspective of safety, the friction plate 73 has a certain unidirectional resistance, and the operation is simple and convenient when it is turned on. When the coin pressing assembly falls, it has a certain resistance during the movement so that it falls slowly to avoid pressing people or objects.

[0119] Further, preferably, Fig.12 As shown, a guide portion 7411 is formed on one side of the support base 741, and the guide portion 7411 is formed with guide holes 7413 penetrating through both ends thereof;

[0120] A limiting portion 7412 is formed on another adjacent side of the support base 741 . The limiting portion 7412 and the guiding portion 7411 extend in perpendicular directions respectively.

[0121] According to the structure described above, when the second coin pressing and conveying mechanism 7 is fixed on the frame 1, the frame 1 is provided with a limiting screw or a limiting rod, and the limiting screw or the limiting rod can be inserted into the guide hole 7413 of the guide part 7411, thereby playing a role in guiding and limiting the locking component 74, because at this time the locking component 743 is also inserted into the plug interface of the frame 1.

[0122] The support body 721 described below forms a limiting groove, and the limiting portion 7412 is clamped in the limiting groove, thereby achieving connection and positioning with the support body 721.

[0123] Further, preferably, Fig.13 As shown, the holding member 742 includes a connecting portion 7421 and a holding portion 7422 connected to each other; wherein the holding portion 7422 is located at one side of the support base 741, the connecting portion 7421 is inserted into the mounting through hole provided in the support base 741, and the end of the connecting portion 7421 is located at the other side opposite to the support base 741; the locking member 743 is sleeved on the connecting portion 7421 and is locked by a locking nut 744. It can be seen that the above assembly structure is more stable, less likely to become loose, and more safe and reliable.

[0124] Further, preferably, Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, the floating wheel 724 is connected to the supporting body 721 through a supporting mechanism 725, and the supporting mechanism 725 includes a mounting base 7251, an elastic member 7252 and a blocking member 7253; wherein the mounting base 7251 is formed with a mounting groove penetrating one end thereof, the floating wheel 724 is disposed in the mounting groove, and the floating wheel 724 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 7251 through a rotating shaft 7255;

[0125] The mounting base 7251 is formed with a mounting hole 7254, and the rotating shaft 7255 is disposed in the mounting hole 7254. A movement space is formed between the rotating shaft 7255 and the mounting hole 7254 along the height direction of the mounting base 7251, providing a space for the floating wheel 724 to float up and down;

[0126] The mounting base 7251 is formed with a receiving hole connected with the mounting hole 7254, the elastic member 7252 is arranged in the receiving hole, and the blocking member 7253 blocks an opening at one end of the receiving hole; one end of the elastic member 7252 is against the rotating shaft 7255, and the other end of the elastic member 7252 is pressed under the blocking member 7253. The elastic member 7252 has an elastic restoring force. When the floating wheel 724 drives the rotating shaft 7255 to move upward to press the elastic member 7252, the elastic member 7252 accumulates elastic potential energy, and then pushes the rotating shaft 7255 and the floating wheel 724 downward in the reverse direction, thereby realizing the up and down floating of the floating wheel 724.

[0127] In this embodiment, preferably, Figures 16 to 18 As shown, the bin-dividing mechanism 8 includes a mounting seat 81 and a driving device 84, a distribution member 82 and a detection member 83 arranged on the mounting seat 81; wherein the mounting seat 81 is formed with a coin-dropping channel running through both ends thereof, and the distribution member 82 is sealed at the inlet end of the coin-dropping channel;

[0129] A storage bin is provided below the distribution member 82;

[0130] Along the transport direction of the coins 9 , the detection component 83 is disposed upstream of the distribution component 82 , and the detection component 83 is used to collect position information of the coins 9 .

[0131] According to the structure described above, it can be known that the counterfeit detection mechanism 5 first detects the image and other information of the coin 9, and transmits the information to the overall control system of the coin 9 sorting machine. The overall control system processes the information and finally determines the face value of the coin 9. When the detection component 83 detects that the coin 9 has moved to the front of the corresponding bin, the overall control system gives a signal to the corresponding driving device 84. The driving device 84 drives the corresponding distribution component 82 to rotate and open, opening the coin falling channel of the mounting seat 81. The coin 9 will be guided into the coin falling channel of the mounting seat 81 by the coin pressing transmission belt, and thus enter the storage box of the corresponding bin. In the above process, the avoidance opening 821 of the distribution component 82 can effectively avoid the coin pressing transmission belt, and the two will not interfere with each other, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the distribution component 82 and the coin pressing transmission belt, and improving the sorting efficiency of the coins 9.

[0134] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the turntable mechanism 3 includes a protective shell 31, a turntable 32 and a driving device 84; wherein the turntable 32 is arranged below the input mechanism 2, and along the circumference of the turntable 32, the protective shell 31 is arranged around the outside of the turntable 32; the driving device 84 is connected to the turntable 32 for driving the turntable 32 to rotate.

[0135] According to the structure described above, the driving device 84 drives the rotating disk 32 to rotate, thereby dispersing a large number of coins to avoid stacking together.
