Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art can combine and combine different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of different embodiments or examples without contradiction.

[0040] The following combination Figures 1 to 6, the turntable type media processing device provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0041] In the utility model embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 4 The turntable-type media processing device 10 includes a coin pocket 100, a turntable 200 and a pushing mechanism. The coin pocket 100 has a storage cavity 110 and a lower opening 120 connected to the storage cavity 110; the turntable 200 is rotatably arranged below the coin pocket 100, and a circular hole 210 is provided on the turntable 200 for the medium 20 to pass through. The circular hole 210 is arranged corresponding to the lower opening 120, and the circular hole 210 is suitable for receiving the medium 20 falling from the lower opening 120 onto the turntable 200; the pushing mechanism is arranged on the side wall of the coin pocket 100 near the lower opening 120, and the pushing mechanism is protruded along the radial direction of the lower opening 120 toward the axial position.

[0042] A storage chamber 110 is provided within the coin pocket 100. This chamber 110 is used to store the media 20 to be processed within the turntable-type media processing device 10. The primary function of the storage chamber 110 is to temporarily store the media 20 until they are processed one by one by the turntable 200. The coin pocket 100 can be a cylindrical body with both ends open, or a cylindrical body with at least one end open, without particular limitation.

[0043] The lower opening 120 is a passage connecting the storage chamber 110 and the turntable 200 , and its function is to allow the medium 20 to smoothly enter the turntable 200 from the storage chamber 110 .

[0044] The turntable 200 can rotate around its axis, thereby driving the medium 20 to move on the turntable 200. The rotational motion not only provides power for the medium 20, but also enables the medium 20 to be evenly distributed on the turntable 200, facilitating subsequent processing.

[0045] The circular holes 210 are designed to allow the media 20 to pass through the turntable 200 and enter the subsequent processing flow. The number, size, and distribution of the circular holes 210 have a direct impact on the processing efficiency of the media 20. Properly designed circular holes 210 ensure that the media 20 can pass through the turntable 200 efficiently and stably and enter the next processing stage smoothly.

[0046] The push-down mechanism is provided on the side wall of the coin pocket 100 near the lower opening 120 and protrudes radially toward the axis of the lower opening 120. Its main function is to push the upright medium 20 down through physical contact when the medium 20 approaches the turntable 200, causing it to lie flat or tilt.

[0047] The pushing mechanism occupies a certain space in the coin pocket 100 , which reduces the probability of the medium 20 filling up the base of the coin pocket 100 , thereby avoiding jamming caused by the accumulation of the medium 20 .

[0048] It is understandable that in the application embodiment, the pushing mechanism can be either the spring 400 or the torsion spring 300, and is not specifically limited here.

[0049] When the base of the medium 20 is subjected to the thrust F1 of the turntable 200 , the upper side of the medium 20 is subjected to the resistance F2 of the pushing mechanism. These two forces are in opposite directions, forming a torque, causing the medium 20 to change from an upright state to a lying state.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the medium 20 mainly refers to coins, game coins, subway one-way tickets, etc.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, the turntable-type media processing device 10 may further include a coin ejector pin and a coin ejector pin spring; a turntable 200 is horizontally mounted on the base assembly 500; a circular hole 210 is provided on the turntable 200 for the medium 20 to pass through, and a coin output channel is provided on one side of the turntable 200 on the base assembly 500; a coin ejector pin is installed on the base assembly 500 at a position corresponding to one side of the coin output channel and corresponding to the circular hole 210; a coin ejector pin spring is connected to the bottom of the coin ejector pin. In this solution, the medium 20 is pushed out to the coin output channel by the coin ejector pin. Through the coin ejector pin and the coin ejector pin spring at the bottom, when the turntable 200 rotates in the opposite direction, the coin ejector pin can move elastically and can pass through the next circular hole 210 from the bottom of the turntable 200, thereby ejecting the medium 20 located in the next circular hole 210, and changing the state of the medium 20 from a lying state to an inclined state, thereby solving the technical problem that the medium 20 is easily suspended and stuck when the turntable 200 is placed horizontally, improving space utilization, and being able to store more media 20, thereby increasing capacity.

[0052] The present application sets a pushing mechanism on the side wall of the coin pocket 100 near the lower opening 120. First, the pushing mechanism will occupy a certain bottom space in the coin pocket 100, so that the probability of the medium 20 filling the root of the coin pocket 100 can be reduced; secondly, the turntable 200 drives the medium 20 to rotate, and the root of the medium 20 is subjected to the thrust F1 of the turntable 200, and the upper side of the medium 20 is subjected to the resistance F2 of the pushing mechanism. The thrust F1 and the resistance F2 are in opposite directions, forming a torque, which causes the medium 20 to change from an upright state to a lying state. In this way, the medium 20 is pushed down, preventing the upright medium 20 from filling the root of the coin pocket 100, and reducing the failure rate of the device.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the pushing mechanism includes an elastic element, and the elastic element is at least partially telescopically disposed in the storage cavity 110.

[0054] It will be appreciated that, in this embodiment, by at least partially retractably positioning the elastic element within the storage chamber 110, when an upright medium 20 becomes stuck and cannot be knocked over, the elastic element undergoes elastic deformation when a predetermined force is applied by the medium 20. This elastic deformation causes the elastic element to at least partially change its original position or shape, thereby providing a certain amount of space for the stuck medium 20 to escape. Furthermore, due to the elasticity of the elastic element, it can quickly return to its original shape after escaping, preparing to process subsequent media 20, thus preventing the turntable 200 from stalling, improving the reliability of the knocking mechanism, and reducing the failure rate.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the elastic element is a torsion spring 300 , an opening 130 is provided on the outer wall of the coin pocket 100 , the torsion spring 300 is installed on the outer side of the coin pocket 100 , and part of the torsion spring 300 extends into the storage cavity 110 through the opening 130 .

[0056] It is understandable that in this embodiment, the torsion spring 300 is installed on the outside of the coin pocket 100 and extends into the storage chamber 110 through the opening 130, making the knocking mechanism compact and not occupying too much space in the storage chamber 110. This helps maximize the capacity of the storage chamber 110 and improve the processing capacity of the medium 20; it also facilitates installation and improves assembly and disassembly efficiency. At the same time, one end of the torsion spring 300 extends into the coin pocket 100 through the opening 130 on the coin pocket 100. If the medium 20 cannot be knocked over and becomes stuck, the torsion spring 300 can undergo elastic deformation, allowing the inserted end to avoid the outside of the coin pocket 100, thereby preventing the turntable 200 from being blocked.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the torsion spring 300 located in the storage is at least partially located on the rotation path of the circular hole 210 or is arranged corresponding to the circular hole 210.

[0058] It is understood that in this embodiment, by partially locating the torsion spring 300 in the rotation path of the circular hole 210 or being arranged corresponding to the circular hole 210, it can directly exert a pushing force on the medium 20 standing upright on the circular hole 210. This makes it easier for the medium 20 to transition from an upright state to a flat or tilted state and smoothly fall onto the turntable 200 for subsequent processing.

[0059] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the opening 130 is opened along the circumference of the coin pocket 100 .

[0060] It can be understood that this embodiment opens the opening 130 along the circumferential direction of the coin pocket 100, that is, in the same direction as or opposite to the direction of rotation of the turntable 200. When a jam occurs, it can facilitate the situation where the medium 20 cannot be knocked over and stuck. The torsion spring 300 can undergo elastic deformation so that the inserted end can avoid to the outside of the coin pocket 100, thereby avoiding the turntable 200 from being blocked.

[0061] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the elastic element is a spring 400 , both ends of which are respectively connected to the inner wall of the coin pocket 100 , and at least a portion of the spring 400 is located on the rotation path of the circular hole 210 or is arranged corresponding to the circular hole 210 .

[0062] It is understood that in this embodiment, by fixing both ends of the spring 400 to the inner wall of the coin pocket 100 and positioning at least a portion of the spring 400 in the rotational path of the circular hole 210 or corresponding to the circular hole 210, the spring 400 can effectively act on the medium 20, preventing the media 20 from becoming stuck due to the upright position. This improves the reliability and efficiency of the system, simplifies maintenance, reduces the failure rate, and enhances the user experience.

[0063] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, a guide slope 220 is provided on one side of the circular hole 210 so that the medium 20 can tilt along the guide slope 220 when the turntable 200 rotates in the reverse direction.

[0064] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, one end of the coin pocket 100 close to the lower opening 120 is configured in a contracted shape.

[0065] It is understandable that the retractable coin pocket 100 can store more media 20, thereby increasing the capacity. At the same time, the retractable design can make the media 20 easier to control when passing through the lower opening 120, thereby reducing the possibility of the media 20 standing upright.

[0066] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
