[0036] The present application provides a coin stacking device, which is described below. Figures 1 to 4 . The coin stacking device includes a main mounting frame 10, an ejection mechanism 20 and at least one set of coin stacking mechanisms 30. The main mounting frame 10 is the basic support structure of the entire device and the installation basis of all other components. It provides solid support and fixation for the entire device. The main mounting frame 10 is usually made of metal or other hard materials and has sufficient strength and rigidity. Its design should take into account overall stability to avoid shaking or tilting during operation. The size and shape of the main mounting frame 10 depends on the layout and size requirements of other components.

[0037] At least one set of coin-making mechanisms 30 may be arranged on a main mounting frame 10. Figure 1 The example shown is provided with two sets of coin loading mechanisms 30. The coin loading mechanism 30 is a mechanism for collecting, storing, and stacking game coins, and can achieve coin stacking in cooperation with the ejection mechanism 20. Specifically, the coin loading mechanism 30 includes a movable plate 310, a first drive module 320, and a plurality of coin loading tubes 330. The movable plate 310 is installed above the main mounting frame 10, and a coin input slot 311 is provided on the movable plate 310, and the width of the coin input slot 311 matches the diameter of the game coin. Figure 2 As a schematic diagram of the bottom surface of the movable plate 310 can be observed, since the width of the coin input slot 311 matches the diameter of the game coins, the outlet of the coin output mechanism can launch the game coins into the coin input slot 311, and the coin input slot 311 can limit the game coins. The game coins that enter later will press the game coins that enter earlier into the inside of the coin input slot 311, so that the game coins that enter the coin input slot 311 are arranged one by one in the coin input slot 311.

[0038] The coin loading barrel 330 is a set of cylindrical containers whose inner diameter matches the game coins, so that after a plurality of game coins enter the coin loading barrel 330, they will be neatly stacked in the coin loading barrel 330 under the action of gravity. The coin loading barrel 330 is arranged in parallel with the coin inlet slot 311. For example, if the coin inlet slot 311 is in the left-right direction, the coin loading barrel 330 will also be arranged in the left-right direction. In this way, when the coin inlet slot 311 moves above a group of coin loading barrels 330, the projection of the coin inlet slot 311 can cover the group of coin loading barrels 330. When arranging the coin loading barrels 330, the spacing and position design between each coin loading barrel 330 needs to make the projection of each game coin arranged in the coin inlet slot 311 fall within the entrance range of a corresponding coin loading barrel 330 when the coin inlet slot 311 is located above the coin loading barrel 330. Based on this, a set of coin barrels 330 are installed under the main mounting frame 10, and openings corresponding to the coin barrels 330 are opened on the main mounting frame 10, and the entrance of each coin barrel 330 corresponds to a game coin arranged in the coin input slot 311. When the corresponding coin input slot 311 contains game coins and then moves to the top of the coin barrel 330, the game coins contained in the coin input slot 311 will fall into the corresponding coin barrel 330 through the openings on the main mounting frame 10.

[0039] The first driving module 320 is a power source for the movable plate 310 to move on the main mounting frame 10, and it can drive the movable plate 310 to move to the first position and the second position. When the movable plate 310 is in the first position, the entrance of the coin inlet slot 311 is docked with the corresponding coin dispensing mechanism. The coin dispensing mechanism can be composed of a coin ejecting motor, a coin ejecting track, a coin bucket, etc., and the game coins in the coin bucket can be ejected along the coin ejecting track under the drive of the coin ejecting motor. Therefore, when the movable plate 310 is in the first position, if the coin ejecting mechanism ejects coins, the game coins ejected by it will enter the coin inlet slot 311. The number of game coins that can be accommodated in the coin inlet slot 311 is generally designed according to the number of corresponding coin loading tubes 330, such as a total of 5 coin loading tubes 330, then at least 5 game coins can be accommodated in the coin inlet slot 311. When the movable plate 310 is in the second position, the coin input slot 311 is located directly above the multiple coin loading tubes 330. From the above description, it can be seen that at this time, the projections of the game coins arranged in the coin input slot 311 will be located within the range of the corresponding entrance of the coin loading tube 330, and the game coins arranged in the coin input slot 311 will enter the corresponding coin loading tube 330.

[0040] It can be seen that when the movable plate 310 is in the first position, the game coins can be loaded into the coin input slot 311, and when the movable plate 310 is in the second position, the game coins contained in the coin input slot 311 can be loaded into the corresponding coin loading tube 330 to achieve the stacking of game coins in the coin loading tube 330. By switching the movable plate 310 between the first position and the second position multiple times, it is possible to stack coins in multiple coin loading tubes 330 at the same time. Based on this, the coin stacking device can also include a control module, which is used to control the operation of the first drive module 320. When the number of game coins contained in the coin input slot 311 meets the requirements, such as the same as the number of coin loading tubes 330, the first drive module 320 is controlled to drive the movable plate 310 to move to the second position, so that the game coins in the coin input slot 311 fall into the coin loading tube 330. After that, the first drive module 320 is controlled to drive the movable plate 310 to move to the first position, and the game coins are continuously loaded until the number of game coins in the coin loading tube 330 meets the requirements. The control module detects whether there are game coins entering the coin input slot 311 through a position detection unit such as a photo eye, and determines the number of game coins in the coin input slot 311 by counting the number of detection signals. The number of game coins in each coin loading tube 330 is then determined based on the number of times the movable plate 310 enters the second position.

[0041] The pushing mechanism 20 is used to push the game coins in the coin loading tube 330 from the entrance of the coin loading tube 330. When the number of game coins in the coin loading tube 330 meets the requirements, a coin tower of sufficiently high is formed in the coin loading tube 330. By pushing the game coins in the coin loading tube 330 from the entrance of the coin loading tube 330 through the pushing mechanism 20, a stacked coin tower corresponding to each coin loading tube 330 can be obtained.

[0042] The coin stacking device in the present application includes a main mounting frame 10, a push-out mechanism 20 and at least one set of coin-loading mechanisms 30. The main mounting frame 10 provides structural support for the entire device, the push-out mechanism 20 is used to push the game coins in the coin-loading tube 330 out of the tube mouth, and the coin-loading mechanism 30 includes a movable plate 310, a first drive module 320 and a plurality of coin-loading tubes 330. The movable plate 310 is installed above the main frame, and a coin-inlet slot 311 matching the diameter of the game coins is opened on it. The first drive module 320 is used to drive the movable plate 310 to move between two positions: the coin-inlet slot 311 is docked with the coin-dispensing mechanism in the first position, and the coin-inlet slot 311 is located directly above the coin-loading tube 330 in the second position. By controlling the movable plate 310 to switch between the first position and the second position multiple times, the game coins can be automatically stacked in the coin-loading tube 330. Since there are multiple coin-loading tubes 330, the stacking of multiple coin towers can be completed at one time. The number of the coin loading mechanisms 30 can be increased according to the number of the coin dispensing mechanisms. The more coin loading mechanisms 30 there are, the more coin towers can be stacked at the same time, further improving the efficiency of coin tower stacking. In general, the design of the coin stacking device not only improves the efficiency of the stacking process, but also ensures the stacking quality. It is a highly automated, stable and reliable stacking solution.

[0043] In one embodiment, the coin loading cylinder 330 is opened at the top and bottom, and the entrance of the coin loading cylinder 330 is an upper opening. The ejection mechanism 20 includes a second drive module 210, a transmission module 220, and a piston rod 230 corresponding to each coin loading cylinder 330, and the piston rod 230 is arranged below the corresponding coin loading cylinder 330. The piston rod 230 can extend into the coin loading cylinder 330 from the lower opening of the coin loading cylinder 330, and it provides support for the game coins falling into the coin loading cylinder 330. When the piston rod 230 moves upward, the piston rod 230 can gradually push the game coins in the coin loading cylinder 330 out of the entrance of the coin loading cylinder 330. When the piston rod 230 moves downward, the piston rod 230 seals the opening at the lower end of the coin loading cylinder 330, so that the coin loading cylinder 330 can be refilled with game coins to stack the coin tower. The piston rod 230 needs a power source to move up and down in the coin loading tube 330 . The second driving module 210 is the power source of the piston rod 230 . The second driving module 210 transmits power to the piston rod 230 through the transmission module 220 , so that the piston rod 230 moves up and down in the coin loading tube 330 .

[0044] In one embodiment, the first sub-mounting frame 40 , the second sub-mounting frame 50 and the column 60 are further included, and the transmission module 220 includes a crank connecting rod 221 , a transmission plate 222 and a slider 223 .

[0045] The first sub-mounting frame 40 is an auxiliary support structure, which is installed at the lower opening of the coin loading tube 330 and is used to fix the position of the coin loading tube 330. It is connected to the main mounting frame 10 through the column 60 to form an integral support system. The first sub-mounting frame 40 is provided with through holes corresponding to the lower openings of each coin loading tube 330. One end of the piston rod 230 extends into the coin loading tube 330 through the through hole, and the other end is fixedly connected to the transmission plate 222.

[0046] The second sub-mounting frame 50 is another auxiliary support structure, which is used to support and guide the movement of the transmission plate 222. It is fixedly connected to the first sub-mounting frame 40 and becomes a part of the overall support system. The transmission plate 222 is mounted on the second sub-mounting frame 50 through the slider 223, and the slider 223 can guide the transmission plate 222. In the figure, the movement direction of the transmission plate 222 is parallel to the movement direction of the piston rod 230. Therefore, if the piston rod 230 needs to move up and down, the transmission plate 222 also needs to move up and down. The second sub-mounting frame 50 is installed in the vertical direction, and the slider 223 is also used for guiding in the vertical direction. The transmission plate 222 is a component used to realize the driving of multiple separated piston rods 230 together, so that all piston rods 230 can be pushed up and down in the coin loading tube 330 at the same time by using a single power source to drive the transmission plate 222.

[0047] The crank connecting rod 221 is connected between the second driving module 210 and the transmission plate 222, and is used to transmit the power provided by the second driving module 210 to the transmission plate 222. It can be understood that the second driving module 210 generally includes a push-out drive motor, and the motion mode of its rotating shaft is rotation, but the motion mode required by the piston rod 230 and the transmission plate 222 is linear motion. Therefore, in this embodiment, the conversion from the rotational motion of the second driving module 210 to the linear reciprocating motion of the transmission plate 222 is achieved through the crank connecting rod 221. The second driving module 210 can drive the transmission plate 222 to move upward or downward through the crank connecting rod 221, and the transmission plate 222 can drive all the piston rods 230 arranged thereon to move upward or downward in the coin loading tube 330.

[0048] In one embodiment, the end of the piston rod 230 extending into the coin loading tube 330 is provided with a thimble cap 224, and the thimble cap 224 matches the inner diameter of the coin loading tube 330. It can be understood that the thimble cap 224 is to enable the piston rod 230 to better provide support for the game coins in the coin loading tube 330, and to better close the lower end opening of the coin loading tube 330.

[0049] In one embodiment, the ejection mechanism 20 also includes a first photoeye 240 and a photoeye trigger 250. The photoeye trigger is a marker for blocking and restoring photoeye rays, which is mounted on the transmission plate 222 and can move with the movement of the transmission plate 222. The position of the transmission plate 222 determines the position of the piston rod 230. Therefore, the photoeye trigger can be used to identify the current position of the piston rod 230. The position of the piston rod 230 determines the extent to which the game coins in the coin loading tube 330 are pushed out. When the game coins in the coin loading tube 330 are completely pushed out, the piston rod 230 has moved to the upward limit position and should stop moving. Therefore, the present embodiment is provided with a first photoeye, and the first photoeye is used to output a first arrival signal when the photoeye trigger is located in its own detection area. The setting position of the first photoeye should be set according to the position of the photoeye trigger when the piston rod 230 pushes all the game coins in the corresponding coin loading cylinder 330 out of the coin loading cylinder 330, and the position is determined as the first setting position. Then, when the piston rod 230 pushes all the game coins in the corresponding coin loading cylinder 330 out of the coin loading cylinder 330, the first photoeye can output a first arrival signal. At this time, the second driving module 210 can be controlled to stop driving according to the first arrival signal.

[0050] In one embodiment, the ejection mechanism 20 further includes a second photoeye 260. The second photoeye is used to output a second in-place signal when the photoeye trigger is located in its own detection area. When one end of the piston rod 230 extending into the coin loading tube 330 moves to the lower end opening of the coin loading tube 330, the piston rod 230 has moved to the downward limit position and should stop moving. Therefore, the second photoeye is provided in this embodiment, and the second photoeye is used to output a second in-place signal when the photoeye trigger is located in its own detection area. The setting position of the first photoeye should be set according to the position of the photoeye trigger when one end of the piston rod 230 extending into the coin loading tube 330 moves to the lower end opening of the coin loading tube 330, and the position is determined as the second set position. Then, when one end of the piston rod 230 extending into the coin loading tube 330 moves to the lower end opening of the coin loading tube 330, the second photoeye can output a second in-place signal. At this time, the second drive module 210 can be controlled to stop driving according to the second in-place signal.

[0051] In one embodiment, the coin stacking device further includes a third photoeye 70 corresponding to the coin loading mechanism 30. The third photoeye is arranged between the coin input slot 311 of the coin loading mechanism 30 and the coin input mechanism corresponding to the coin loading mechanism 30, and is used to output a coin input signal when it is detected that the coin input mechanism injects a game coin into the coin input slot 311. It can be understood that when the coin input mechanism injects a game coin into the coin input slot 311, the light emitted by the third photoeye will be blocked by the game coin, so that the third photoeye outputs a coin input signal. By counting the number of coin input signals received, the number of game coins contained in the coin input slot 311 can be known, so as to determine whether it is necessary to control the movement of the movable plate 310.

[0052] In one embodiment, the coin loading mechanism 30 further includes a swing arm 340, and a swing arm limiting groove 312 is provided on the movable plate 310. The swing arm is a mechanical transmission device, which is composed of a rotatable rod. One end of the swing arm is connected to the first driving module 320, and the other end moves in the swing arm limiting groove of the movable plate 310, thereby driving the movable plate 310 to reciprocate between the first position and the second position.

[0053] In one embodiment, the first driving module 320 is a movable driving motor.
