Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of commercial garment processing technology, and more particularly to a coin box and a commercial garment processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing processing equipment is capable of washing, drying, sterilizing, and / or deodorizing clothes. With continuous improvements in production technology and increasing consumer demand, self-service commercial clothing processing equipment has emerged, and more and more consumers are choosing to use commercial clothing processing equipment in communities, public service areas, and other similar locations. Taking a commercial drum washing machine as an example, the coin acceptor is typically fixed to the front panel of the machine, while the coin box is fixed inside. The coin slot on the acceptor aligns with the coin hole on the coin box, allowing coins to accurately enter the coin box. To prevent coin theft, the coin box is usually placed inside the machine, making it inconvenient to retrieve and place.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a coin box to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a coin box and a commercial garment handling device, which solves the technical problem in the prior art where, in order to prevent the theft of coins from the coin box, the coin box is placed inside the washing machine, resulting in inconvenience in taking them out and putting them in.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This invention provides a coin box, comprising an outer box and an inner box. The inner box includes a box body and a locking mechanism. The box body can extend into the outer box and is locked or unlocked by the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes:

[0007] A locking and scaling component is disposed on the side wall of the box body. The locking and scaling component has a locked state that extends out of the side wall of the box body and an unlocked state that retracts into the side wall of the box body.

[0008] A scaling drive component is driven to the locking scaling component, and the scaling drive component is used to drive the locking scaling component to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state to lock or unlock the outer box and the inner box.

[0009] The coin box has a locking mechanism on the inner box. The locking mechanism includes a locking scaling component and a scaling drive component. The scaling drive component is connected to the locking scaling component. The scaling drive component can drive the locking scaling component to switch between a locked state that extends out of the side wall of the box and an unlocked state that retracts into the side wall of the box, so as to lock or unlock the outer box and the inner box. The locking mechanism allows the coin box to be exposed, which not only prevents the theft of coins inside the box, but also makes it easy to remove the inner box so as to take out the coins.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the aforementioned coin box, the scaling drive component includes:

[0011] A rotary latch lock includes a lock sleeve and a lock cylinder. The lock sleeve is fixedly disposed relative to the side wall of the housing. The lock cylinder passes through the lock sleeve and can rotate relative to the lock sleeve. One end of the lock cylinder is provided with a first keyhole into which a key can be inserted. The other end of the lock cylinder passes through the lock sleeve. The key is inserted into the first keyhole and rotated to drive the lock cylinder to rotate relative to the lock sleeve.

[0012] The first tongue is disposed at one end of the lock cylinder that protrudes from the lock sleeve and rotates synchronously with the lock cylinder. The first tongue is connected to the locking and expanding assembly to drive the locking and expanding assembly to contract and expand along a first direction.

[0013] The scaling drive assembly includes a rotary latch lock and a first tongue plate. The key is inserted into the lock cylinder of the rotary latch lock and drives the lock cylinder to rotate relative to the lock sleeve, thereby driving the first tongue plate to rotate. This drives the locking scaling assembly to contract and expand along a first direction, thereby locking the inner box and the outer box. The scaling drive assembly achieves unlocking and locking by contracting and expanding along the first direction. It has a simple structure and is relatively easy to operate.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the aforementioned coin box, the locking scaling component includes:

[0015] The tongue assembly includes two second tongues that can move closer to or further away from each other along the first direction. The first tongue is tractively connected to the two second tongues to drive the two second tongues to move closer to or further away from each other along the first direction.

[0016] The locking and scaling assembly includes a tongue assembly, which includes two second tongues that can move closer or further apart along a first direction. The first tongue is convex to the two second tongues. The first tongue drives the two second tongues to move closer or further apart along the first direction, thereby locking and unlocking the inner box and the outer box. The locking and scaling assembly has a simple structure and the locking and unlocking operation is relatively convenient.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the aforementioned coin box, the first tongue is provided with two symmetrical arc-shaped guides, and each of the two second tongues is provided with a first protrusion structure. Each first protrusion structure is correspondingly provided with one of the arc-shaped guides. The first protrusion structure can extend into the corresponding arc-shaped guide. The first tongue rotates to drive the two first protrusion structures to move along the corresponding arc-shaped guides, so that the two second tongues move closer to or further away from each other along the first direction.

[0018] Through the interaction between the arc-shaped guide of the first tongue and the first protrusion on the second tongue, the first tongue drives the two second tongues to move closer or further apart along the first direction. The structure is simple and the design is quite ingenious.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment of the coin box, the side wall of the box body is provided with two guide holes, which extend along the first direction. Each second tongue is provided with a second protrusion structure, and each second protrusion structure is provided with a corresponding guide hole. The second protrusion structure can extend into the corresponding guide hole and move in the guide hole along the first direction.

[0020] The guide hole on the side wall of the box cooperates with the second protrusion on the second tongue to make the second tongue move in the first direction, preventing the second tongue from moving in other directions.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the coin box, a plurality of guide components are provided between the two second tongues. The guide components include a guide groove and a guide protrusion extending along the first direction. One of the two second tongues is provided with the guide groove, and the other is provided with the guide protrusion. The guide protrusion can extend into the guide groove and can move relative to the guide groove along the first direction.

[0022] The guide component enables the second tongue to move along the first direction, improving the movement accuracy of the second tongue and preventing it from moving in other directions.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment of the aforementioned coin box, the locking mechanism further includes:

[0024] A cover plate and a panel are respectively disposed on the side of the locking and scaling assembly away from the side wall of the box body, and are both connected to the side wall of the box body. The cover plate is disposed between the locking and scaling assembly and the panel.

[0025] The center of the cover plate protrudes away from the locking and scaling assembly to form a first accommodating space with the locking and scaling assembly. The cover plate is provided with a first through hole communicating with the first accommodating space. The center of the panel protrudes away from the locking and scaling assembly to form a second accommodating space with the locking and scaling assembly. The second accommodating space is connected to the first accommodating space through the first through hole.

[0026] The rotary latch is disposed within the second accommodating space, and one end of it extends into the first accommodating space through the first through hole. The first tongue is disposed within the first accommodating space.

[0027] The cover and panel design facilitates the installation of the locking zoom component and the zoom drive component; moreover, the panel design makes the locking mechanism more aesthetically pleasing.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the aforementioned coin box, the scaling drive component further includes:

[0029] A sleeve is disposed within the second accommodating space and abuts against the cover plate and the panel. The sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the rotary latch. An anti-drilling plate is rotatably disposed inside the sleeve and at one end of the lock cylinder where the first keyhole is located. A second keyhole is disposed on the anti-drilling plate. The second keyhole is disposed corresponding to the first keyhole. The key passes through the second keyhole and extends into the first keyhole.

[0030] An elastic element is disposed inside the sleeve and fitted onto the outside of the locking sleeve, with both ends of the elastic element abutting against the cover plate and the anti-drilling plate, respectively.

[0031] The sleeve provides support for the second accommodating space, preventing deformation of the cover and panel; the anti-drilling plate protects the rotary latch; and the elastic element assists in resetting the lock cylinder, reducing the force required by the operator when resetting the lock cylinder.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the aforementioned coin box, the lock sleeve has a limiting protrusion at one end where the first keyhole is located, and the scaling drive assembly further includes a washer sleeve, which is fitted onto the outside of the lock sleeve, with both ends of the washer sleeve abutting against the limiting protrusion and the cover plate, respectively.

[0033] The limiting protrusion can limit the position of the washer sleeve, so that the position of the rotary latch can be positioned by the washer sleeve, and the rotary latch can be prevented from extending too far into the box.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the aforementioned coin box, the scaling drive assembly further includes a limiting member disposed at the end of the lock cylinder that does not have the first keyhole, and the limiting member is located within the first accommodating space.

[0035] The limiting component is designed to prevent the rotary latch from arbitrarily disengaging from the first receiving space.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned coin box, the side wall of the box body is provided with a first clearance hole, and each of the two second tongues is provided with a clearance groove, and the two clearance grooves are arranged opposite to each other to form a second clearance hole.

[0037] The lock cylinder and the first tongue are connected by a locking assembly. The locking assembly includes a locking member that passes through the first clearance hole, the second clearance hole and the first tongue in sequence and is connected to the lock cylinder to connect the first tongue to the lock cylinder.

[0038] The above configuration allows the locking element to be connected to the lock cylinder, thereby connecting the first tongue to the lock cylinder.

[0039] The present invention also provides a commercial garment handling device, including a box and a coin box as described above disposed on the box.

[0040] This commercial garment handling device, through the aforementioned coin box, serves to hold coins, facilitating coin handling and preventing theft.

[0041] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0042] The coin box proposed in this invention has a locking mechanism on the inner box. The locking mechanism includes a locking scaling component and a scaling drive component. The scaling drive component is connected to the locking scaling component. The scaling drive component can drive the locking scaling component to switch between a locked state extending out of the side wall of the box and an unlocked state retracted into the side wall of the box, so as to lock or unlock the outer box and the inner box. The locking mechanism allows the coin box to be exposed, which not only prevents the theft of coins inside the box, but also makes it easy to remove the inner box so as to take out the coins.

[0043] The commercial clothing handling device proposed in this invention facilitates the handling of coins through the aforementioned coin box, and also serves as a coin theft prevention measure. Attached Figure Description

[0062] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0066] Clothing processing equipment is capable of washing, drying, sterilizing, and / or deodorizing clothes. With continuous improvements in production technology and increasing consumer demand, self-service commercial clothing processing equipment has emerged, and more and more consumers are choosing to use commercial clothing processing equipment in communities, public service areas, and other similar locations. Taking a commercial drum washing machine as an example, the coin acceptor is typically fixed to the front panel of the machine, while the coin box is fixed inside. The coin slot on the acceptor aligns with the coin hole on the coin box, allowing coins to accurately enter the coin box. To prevent coin theft, the coin box is usually placed inside the machine, making it inconvenient to retrieve and place.

[0067] To solve the above problems, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a coin box, including an outer box (not shown) and an inner box. The inner box includes a box body 10 and a locking mechanism 20. The box body 10 can extend into the outer box and be locked or unlocked by the locking mechanism 20. The locking mechanism 20 includes a locking scaling component 1 and a scaling drive component 2. The locking scaling component 1 is disposed on the side wall of the box body 10 and has a locked state extending out of the side wall of the box body 10 and an unlocked state retracted into the side wall of the box body 10. The scaling drive component 2 is driven to switch between the locked and unlocked states to lock or unlock the outer box and the inner box.

[0068] The scaling drive assembly 2 of the coin box can drive the locking scaling assembly 1 to switch between a locked state extending out of the side wall of the box body 10 and an unlocked state retracted into the side wall of the box body 10, so as to lock or unlock the outer box and the inner box. The locking mechanism 20 is set so that the coin box can be exposed, which not only prevents the coins inside the box body 10 from being stolen, but also makes it easy to remove the inner box so as to take out the coins.

[0069] Specifically, the scaling drive assembly 2 includes a rotary latch 21 and a first tongue plate 22. The rotary latch 21 includes a lock sleeve 211 and a lock cylinder 212. The lock sleeve 211 is fixedly disposed relative to the side wall of the housing 10. The lock cylinder 212 passes through the lock sleeve 211 and can rotate relative to the lock sleeve 211. One end of the lock cylinder 212 is provided with a first keyhole 2121 into which a key 30 can be inserted. The other end of the lock cylinder 212 extends out of the lock sleeve 211. The key 30 is inserted into the first keyhole 2121 and rotated to drive the lock cylinder 212 to rotate relative to the lock sleeve 211. The first tongue plate 22 is disposed at the end of the lock cylinder 212 that extends out of the lock sleeve 211 and rotates synchronously with the lock cylinder 212. The first tongue plate 22 is connected to the locking scaling assembly 1 to drive the locking scaling assembly 1 to contract and expand along a first direction (see...). Figure 8The scaling drive assembly 2 includes a rotary latch 21 and a first tongue 22. The key 30 is inserted into the lock cylinder 212 of the rotary latch 21 and drives the lock cylinder 212 to rotate relative to the lock sleeve 211, thereby driving the first tongue 22 to rotate. This drives the locking scaling assembly 1 to contract and expand along the first direction, thus locking the inner box and the outer box. The scaling drive assembly 2 achieves unlocking and locking by driving the locking scaling assembly 1 to contract and expand along the first direction. It has a simple structure and is relatively easy to operate.

[0070] Specifically, the locking and scaling assembly 1 includes a tongue assembly 11, which includes two second tongues 111 that can move closer or further apart along a first direction. The first tongue 22 is convexly connected to the two second tongues 111 to drive the two second tongues 111 to move closer or further apart along the first direction, thereby realizing the locking and unlocking of the inner box and the outer box. The locking and scaling assembly 1 has a simple structure and the locking and unlocking operation is relatively convenient.

[0071] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, the first tongue 22 is provided with two symmetrical arc-shaped guide channels 221, such as... Figure 8 As shown, each of the two second tongues 111 is provided with a first protrusion structure 1111, and each first protrusion structure 1111 is correspondingly provided with an arc-shaped guide channel 221. The first protrusion structure 1111 can extend into the corresponding arc-shaped guide channel 221. The first tongue 22 rotates to drive the two first protrusion structures 1111 to move along the corresponding arc-shaped guide channel 221, so that the two second tongues 111 move closer or further apart along the first direction. Through the interaction between the arc-shaped guide channel 221 of the first tongue 22 and the first protrusion structure 1111 on the second tongue 111, the first tongue 22 drives the two second tongues 111 to move closer or further apart along the first direction. The structure is simple and the design is ingenious. In this embodiment, the arc-shaped guide channel 221 is an arc-shaped hole, and the central angle corresponding to the arc-shaped hole is 90°, that is, the angle that the first tongue 22 can rotate is 90°. Of course, the rotation angle is not limited to 90°, and can be other degrees, which are not specifically limited here.

[0072] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, two guide holes 1011 are provided on the side wall of the box body 10. The guide holes 1011 extend along the first direction, as shown. Figure 9 As shown, each second tongue 111 is provided with a second protrusion structure 1112, and each second protrusion structure 1112 is correspondingly provided with a guide hole 1011. The second protrusion structure 1112 can extend into the corresponding guide hole 1011 and move within the guide hole 1011 along the first direction. Through the cooperation between the guide hole 1011 on the side wall of the housing 10 and the second protrusion structure 1112 on the second tongue 111, the second tongue 111 moves along the first direction, preventing the second tongue 111 from moving in other directions.

[0073] Optionally, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a plurality of guide components 12 are disposed between the two second tongues 111. Each guide component 12 includes a guide groove 121 extending along a first direction and a guide protrusion 122. One of the two second tongues 111 has a guide groove 121, and the other has a guide protrusion 122. The guide protrusion 122 can extend into the guide groove 121 and move relative to the guide groove 121 along the first direction. The guide components 12 guide the movement of the second tongues 111 along the first direction, improving the movement accuracy of the second tongues 111 and preventing them from moving in other directions. In this embodiment, two sets of guide components 12 are disposed between the two second tongues 111. One second tongue 111 has a guide groove 121 and a guide protrusion 122, and the other second tongue 111 has a guide protrusion 122 and a guide groove 121. The two second tongues 111 can smoothly contract and expand along the first direction through the two sets of guide components 12. In other embodiments, the number of guide components 12 is not specifically limited. Alternatively, a guide groove 121 may be provided on one second tongue 111 and a guide protrusion 122 may be provided on the other second tongue 111.

[0074] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the locking mechanism 20 also includes a cover plate 3 and a panel 4. The cover plate 3 and the panel 4 are respectively disposed on the side of the locking and scaling assembly 1 away from the side wall of the box 10, and are both connected to the side wall of the box 10. The cover plate 3 is disposed between the locking and scaling assembly 1 and the panel 4. The center of the cover plate 3 protrudes in the direction away from the locking and scaling assembly 1 to form a first accommodating space 31 with the locking and scaling assembly 1. The cover plate 3 is provided with a first through hole 32 communicating with the first accommodating space 31. The center of the panel 4 protrudes in the direction away from the locking and scaling assembly 1 to form a second accommodating space 41 with the locking and scaling assembly 1. The second accommodating space 41 is connected to the first accommodating space 31 through the first through hole 32. The rotary latch 21 is disposed in the second accommodating space 41, and one end of it extends into the first accommodating space 31 through the first through hole 32. The first tongue piece 22 is disposed in the first accommodating space 31. The cover plate 3 and the panel 4 facilitate the installation of the locking zoom component 1 and the zoom drive component 2; moreover, the panel 4 makes the locking mechanism 20 look more aesthetically pleasing.

[0075] In this embodiment, the cover plate 3, the panel 4, and the side wall of the box body 10 are fixed by screws 5 and nuts. Specifically, a mounting plate 101 is installed on one side of the box body 10. A first mounting hole 1021 is provided on the edge 102 of one side of the box body 10. A second mounting hole 1013 is provided at each of the four corners of the mounting plate 101. A third mounting hole 33 is provided at each of the four corners of the cover plate 3. A fourth mounting hole 42 is provided at each of the four corners of the panel 4. Screws 5 pass through the fourth mounting hole 42, the third mounting hole 33, the second mounting hole 1013, and the first mounting hole 1021 in sequence and are connected to nuts to install the mounting plate 101, the cover plate 3, and the panel 4 onto the box body 10. To increase the installation strength of the screws 5 and nuts and to protect the components, washers and gaskets can be installed.

[0076] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the scaling drive assembly 2 also includes a sleeve 23 and an elastic element 25. The sleeve 23 is disposed within the second accommodating space 41 and abuts against the cover plate 3 and the panel 4. The sleeve 23 is fitted onto the outside of the rotary latch 21. Inside the sleeve 23 and located at one end of the lock cylinder 212 where the first keyhole 2121 is located, an anti-drilling plate 24 is rotatably disposed. The anti-drilling plate 24 is provided with a second keyhole 241, which corresponds to the first keyhole 2121. The anti-drilling plate 24 is a protective device to prevent external force from breaking the outer lock cylinder 212. A second through hole 43 is provided at the center of the panel 4. The key 30 passes through the second through hole 43 and the second keyhole 241 in sequence and extends into the first keyhole 2121. The elastic element 25 is disposed within the sleeve 23 and fitted onto the outside of the lock sleeve 211. The two ends of the elastic element 25 abut against the cover plate 3 and the anti-drilling plate 24, respectively. The sleeve 23 provides support for the second accommodating space 41, preventing deformation of the cover plate 3 and the panel 4; the anti-drilling plate 24 protects the rotary latch 21; the elastic element 25 assists in resetting the lock cylinder 212, reducing the force required by the operator when resetting the lock cylinder 212.

[0077] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the lock sleeve 211 has a limiting protrusion 2111 at one end where the first keyhole 2121 is located. The scaling drive assembly 2 also includes a washer sleeve 26, which is fitted onto the outside of the lock sleeve 211, with both ends of the washer sleeve 26 abutting against the limiting protrusion 2111 and the cover plate 3, respectively. The limiting protrusion 2111 can limit the washer sleeve 26, so that the position of the rotary latch 21 can be positioned by the washer sleeve 26, preventing the rotary latch 21 from extending excessively into the housing 10.

[0078] See also Figure 5 and Figure 7The scaling drive assembly 2 also includes a limiting member 27, which is disposed at the end of the lock cylinder 212 without the first keyhole 2121, and is located within the first accommodating space 31. The limiting member 27 serves to prevent the rotary latch 21 from arbitrarily disengaging from the first accommodating space 31. In this embodiment, the limiting member 27 is a nut threadedly connected to the lock cylinder 212 of the rotary latch 21, and a tongue washer 270 is provided between the limiting member 27 and the first tongue 22.

[0079] like Figure 11 As shown, the mounting plate 101 on the side wall of the housing 10 has a first clearance hole 1012, and each of the two second tongues 111 has a clearance groove. The two clearance grooves are arranged opposite each other to form a second clearance hole 1113. The center of the first tongue 22 has a through hole 222. The lock cylinder 212 and the first tongue 22 are connected by a locking assembly 28. The locking assembly 28 includes a locking member 281, which passes through the first clearance hole 1012, the second clearance hole 1113, and the through hole 222 of the first tongue 22 in sequence to connect to the lock cylinder 212, thereby connecting the first tongue 22 to the lock cylinder 212. The above arrangement allows the locking member 281 to be connected to the lock cylinder 212, thereby connecting the first tongue 22 to the lock cylinder 212. In this embodiment, the locking component 281 is a locking screw, and the end of the lock cylinder 212 that does not have the first keyhole 2121 is provided with a screw hole, and the locking screw can be threaded into the screw hole.

[0080] Furthermore, the locking assembly 28 also includes a locking washer 282 and a locking washer 283. The locking washer 282 is fitted onto the threaded part of the locking screw, and the screw head and the first tongue 22 clamp the locking washer 282. The locking washer 283 is fitted onto the end of the lock cylinder 212 that does not have the first keyhole 2121, and the protrusions at the ends of the first tongue 22 and the lock cylinder 212 clamp the locking washer 283. The locking washer 282 increases the friction between itself and the first tongue 22, preventing the locking screw from spinning freely. The locking washer 283 protects the first tongue 22.

[0081] To avoid the locking screws affecting the movement of the second tongue 111, the two apex corners of the second tongue 111 along the first direction are provided with mounting grooves 1114. The mounting grooves 1114 extend along the first direction, and the two locking screws along the first direction are respectively inserted into the mounting grooves 1114. The locking screws can move relative to the mounting grooves 1114 to prevent the locking screws from affecting the movement of the second tongue 111.

[0082] Locking and unlocking the coin box:

[0083] Step 1: After inserting the key 30 into the lock cylinder 212, rotate it 90 degrees. The first tongue 22 drives the second tongue 111 to retract, so that the outer contour dimension of the second tongue 111 is smaller than the dimension of the outer box bracket (the outer box bracket is a ring of protruding structures set on the inner wall of the outer box). The inner box can be pushed into the outer box.

[0084] Step 2: Turn the key 30 back and pull it out. The first tongue 22 rotates in the opposite direction to drive the second tongue 111 to extend. That is, the outer contour size of the second tongue 111 is larger than the size of the bracket of the outer box, so the inner box cannot be removed from the outer box, thereby locking the outer box and the inner box.

[0085] This embodiment also provides a commercial clothing handling device, including a housing and a coin box as described above, disposed on the housing. One side of the coin box has a panel 4 exposed, allowing the inner box to be unlocked and removed using a key 30. This commercial clothing handling device, through the aforementioned coin box, serves to hold coins, facilitating coin handling and preventing theft.

[0086] In this embodiment, the commercial garment handling device is a washing machine; in other embodiments, the coin box can be installed on any device that requires coin insertion.

[0087] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
