AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When performing dual-channel detection, the existing coin inspection equipment is prone to causing the coin's lateral position to shift due to the coin flipping mechanism, which affects the accuracy of subsequent detection. In addition, the equipment occupies a large area and cannot meet the needs of large-volume coin surface parameter detection and sorting.

Method used

Two coin detection paths are set up side by side. Coins are output in a row through a rotary feeding mechanism and pass through side color difference visual inspection, first surface visual inspection, thickness inspection, diameter inspection and second surface visual inspection in sequence. The coin is flipped by the clamping flipping belt assembly of the flipping mechanism to avoid lateral position displacement. Defective coins are sorted to different channels by the coin kicking mechanism.

Benefits of technology

This improves the integration and sorting efficiency of coin detection and sorting equipment, ensuring the accuracy of coin detection and the efficient use of space.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coin detection and sorting, in particular to a coin queue conveying, detecting and sorting system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Since the finished surface of the coin may have defects such as color difference, scratches, pits and the like, it is necessary to perform finished product detection operation on it. The existing coin detection equipment generally adopts single-path detection, and finally discharges in the form of dividing into good coins and waste coins, which is low in work efficiency and cannot meet the demand of large-batch coin surface parameter detection and sorting. The surface quality detection system for coin products disclosed in the patent with publication number CN113984789A has feeding queue conveying components, front visual detection parts, cam flap turning parts, back visual detection parts and discharge sorting conveying components arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the ring track conveying component. In order to make the monitoring data more accurate, the coin needs to be turned over when it is conveyed, which is convenient for detecting the other side of the coin. However, the design of the turning part in the system is relatively complex, and the structure of the entire system is arranged in a ring shape, which occupies a large area.

[0003] In order to ensure the high integration of the detection equipment and minimize the occupied space of the detection equipment when the coin surface is detected by double paths, the coin needs to be turned over so that the two-side detection mechanisms of the coin are arranged in an up-down manner. However, since the two paths of coins are simultaneously clamped by a group of relatively wide clamping belts for turning and conveying when the turning mechanism is used, the inner and outer clamping belts will have a gap between the two paths of coins due to the clamping of the two paths of coins for turning and conveying, and the coins have a certain thickness, so it is difficult to avoid the lateral position of the coin from being deviated when the coin is turned and conveyed. Since the subsequent devices for detecting the coin are fixed, the deviation of the coin after turning is not conducive to the later detection. SUMMARY
