Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of transmission equipment, and in particular to a discharge device. Background Technology
[0002] Some existing devices require a coin to be inserted before use. If the user inserts too many coins, the excess coins will be ejected from the device via a coin ejector.
[0003] During the expulsion process, coin-shaped objects may become stuck or slip, preventing them from being expelled.
[0004] A coin ejection device is installed at the bottom of the coin return component of the equipment. A channel is formed by the ejector blade and the dial to eject coin-shaped objects. However, during this process, coin-shaped objects often get stuck between the movable shaft dial or the ejector blade retaining ring and the dial, causing the objects to get stuck during transmission. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a discharge device that can smoothly discharge coin-shaped objects.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a discharge device, comprising: a mounting base, one end of which is provided with an outlet, the mounting base including a circular groove and a first channel connecting the circular groove to the outlet, the first channel being tangent to the circular groove;
[0007] A guide plate is disposed in the circular groove of the mounting base. The top surface of the guide plate is lower than the top surface of the mounting base. Several locking blocks are disposed around the periphery of the guide plate. A storage groove is formed between two adjacent locking blocks. The storage groove is used to place the object to be discharged. The distance between the end of the locking block and the groove wall of the circular groove is less than the diameter of the object to be discharged.
[0008] A turntable is positioned above the guide plate and rotates synchronously with the guide plate. The turntable has several dropping holes, and the positions of the dropping holes correspond one-to-one with the positions of the placement slots. The locking block is located between two adjacent dropping holes.
[0009] Furthermore, the storage slot is arc-shaped.
[0010] Furthermore, the width of the locking block gradually decreases outward along the axis of the guide disk.
[0011] Furthermore, the mounting base is also provided with a limiting block, which is located at the connection between the circular groove and the first channel.
[0012] Furthermore, a spring plate is provided at the bottom of the limiting block, which can be pushed outward by the object to be discharged and returned to its original position.
[0013] Furthermore, the width of the first channel is equal to the diameter of the object to be discharged.
[0014] Furthermore, the turntable is provided with six dropping holes.
[0015] Furthermore, the guide plate and the turntable are integrally formed.
[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a conveying unit, which is disposed on one side of the mounting base and communicates with the first channel, and the conveying unit extends outward.
[0017] Furthermore, the conveying unit includes two parallel clamps and a second channel formed by the two clamps, the distance between the two clamps being the thickness of the object to be discharged, and the width of the second channel being the diameter of the object to be discharged.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the discharge device of this utility model has the following advantages: During use, the turntable and the guide plate rotate synchronously. When the object to be discharged falls, it can fall into the dropping hole of the turntable under the rotation of the turntable, and then fall to the guide plate below the turntable, that is, it can fall from the dropping hole into the storage groove, and be held in the groove by two adjacent locking blocks. The connection between the circular groove and the first channel is tangential. When the object to be discharged is rotated to this connection, under the action of centrifugal force, the object to be discharged will continue to move along the tangential channel formed by the two. At the same time, the end of the locking block will abut against the edge of the object to be discharged, so that the object to be discharged is restricted between the locking block and the groove wall, and will not continue to return to the guide plate and rotate again. In the entire transmission process, a smooth transmission channel is provided for the object to be discharged, and the object to be discharged will not be stuck in the discharge device, thus improving the transmission efficiency of the discharge device.

[0031] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a discharge device comprising: a mounting base 1, a guide plate 2 mounted on the mounting base 1, and a turntable 3 mounted on the guide plate 2. The object discharged using this discharge device is a coin-shaped object.
[0032] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, specifically, one end of the mounting base 1 is provided with an outlet 13. The mounting base 1 includes a circular groove 11 and a first channel 12. The first channel 12 is a straight channel that is tangent to the circular groove 11. The first channel 12 connects the circular groove 11 to the outlet 13. The width of the first channel 12 is the diameter of the object 5 to be discharged. The circular groove 11 is used to place the guide plate 2 and the turntable 3.
[0033] Specifically, the guide plate 2 is set in the circular groove 11 of the mounting base 1. The guide plate 2 and the circular groove 11 have the same axis, and the top surface of the guide plate 2 is lower than the top surface of the mounting base 1. This ensures that the object to be discharged 5 is securely stuck between the guide plate 2 and the mounting base 1.
[0034] Specifically, the guide plate 2 has several locking blocks 21 around its periphery. The locking blocks 21 are protruding, and the number of locking blocks 21 can be three, four, five, or more. The locking blocks 21 can be straight, curved, or a combination of straight and curved shapes. The distance between the end of the locking block 21 and the groove wall of the circular groove 11 is less than the diameter of the object to be discharged 5. This arrangement ensures that when the object to be discharged 5 moves at the connection between the circular groove 11 and the first channel 12, it is restricted by the end of the locking block 21 and the groove wall of the circular groove 11, and will not return to the space between two adjacent locking blocks 21.
[0035] Specifically, the inwardly recessed portion between two adjacent locking blocks 21 forms a storage groove 22. When the object 5 to be discharged is held between the two adjacent locking blocks 21, it is located in the storage groove 22. The shape of the storage groove 22 changes with the shape of the locking blocks 21. If the locking blocks 21 are straight, the storage groove 22 is a flat groove; if the locking blocks 21 are curved, the storage groove 22 can be a curved groove.
[0036] Turntable 3 is positioned above guide plate 2 and coaxial with guide plate 2, and rotates synchronously with guide plate 2. Optionally, turntable 3 and guide plate 2 can be two independent structures assembled together, or guide plate 2 and turntable 3 can be a single molded structure, making them a whole during the production process so that there is no need to adjust their positional relationship afterward.
[0037] Specifically, the turntable 3 is provided with a number of dropping holes 31, and the positions of the dropping holes 31 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the storage slots 22. The locking blocks 21 are located between two adjacent dropping holes 31. The turntable 3 has a circular structure and is provided with at least three dropping holes 31. The number of dropping holes 31 is the same as the number of storage slots 22 and the same as the number of locking blocks 21.
[0038] Optionally, the size of the discharge hole 31 can be the same as or larger than the outer diameter of the object to be discharged 5, allowing the object to be discharged 5 to enter the discharge device through the discharge hole 31. Since the object discharged using this discharge device is coin-shaped, based on its structure, the discharge hole 31 in this embodiment is circular in shape and the same size as the coin. This arrangement ensures that the object to be discharged 5 can precisely enter the discharge hole 31 of the turntable 3.
[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, the turntable 3 and the guide plate 2 are rotating. When the object 5 to be discharged falls, it can fall into the dropping hole 31 of the turntable 3 under the rotation of the turntable 3, and then fall to the guide plate 2 below the turntable 3. That is, it can fall from the dropping hole 31 into the storage groove 22, and be held in the two adjacent locking blocks 21 forming the storage groove 22. The connection between the circular groove 11 and the first channel 12 is tangential. When the object 5 to be discharged moves to this connection, under the action of centrifugal force, the object 5 to be discharged will continue to move along the tangential channel formed by the two. At the same time, the end of the locking block 21 will abut against the edge of the object 5 to be discharged, so that the object 5 to be discharged will not continue to return to the guide plate 2 and rotate again.
[0040] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, the storage slot 22 is arc-shaped.
[0041] Specifically, the object 5 to be discharged using this discharge device is coin-shaped, and the storage slot 22 is designed with an arc shape to accommodate the coin shape. The arc length corresponding to the storage slot 22 can be from one-eighth to one-half the arc length of the object 5 to be discharged. Within this length range, the storage slot 22 can properly hold the coin-shaped object without the risk of the object getting stuck. If the arc length of the storage slot 22 exceeds one-half the arc length, the outlet 13 of the storage slot 22 will be narrower than the width of the storage slot 22. Since the radius of the object 5 to be discharged is the same as the radius of the storage slot 22, when the object 5 moves to the outlet 13, it may be restricted by the wall of the storage slot 22 and unable to pass through the outlet 13 smoothly, thus affecting subsequent discharge.
[0042] The arc design of the storage slot 22 of this utility model has no sharp turning points, which helps the object to be discharged 5 to flow smoothly, reduces blockage, improves discharge efficiency, and can also reduce friction and collision of the object to be discharged 5 during placement or movement, thereby reducing wear or damage to the object surface.
[0043] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, the width of the locking block 21 gradually decreases outward along the axis of the guide disk 2.
[0044] Specifically, the transverse cross-sectional shape of the locking block 21 can be a shape with a gradually decreasing width, such as a triangle or trapezoid. If the transverse cross-section of the locking block 21 is a gradually increasing shape, the outlet 13 portion of the storage groove 22 located between the two locking blocks 21 is wider than the inner width of the storage groove 22. If the object to be discharged 5 enters the storage groove 22 from the outlet 13 portion, it will continuously collide with the groove wall of the storage groove 22, causing certain wear or damage to the object to be discharged 5.
[0045] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, the mounting base 1 is further provided with a limiting block 14, which is disposed at the communication point between the circular groove 11 and the first channel 12.
[0046] Specifically, there is one limiting block 14, which is set at the connection between the circular groove 11 and the first channel 12. The distance between the limiting block 14 and the side wall of the circular groove 11 and the first channel 12 is the diameter of the object 5 to be discharged. The structure of the limiting block 14 consists of a triangular prism placed on a quadrangular prism.
[0047] If the object 5 to be discharged deviates slightly from the sidewalls of the circular groove 11 and the first channel 12 under the action of centrifugal force, that is, it does not slide close to them, it may be impossible to discharge the object 5. In order to avoid this, a limit block 14 is provided at the connection between the circular groove 11 and the first channel 12 to restrict the position of the object 5 to be discharged, guide the object 5 to be discharged back to slide along the sidewalls of the circular groove 11 and the first channel 12, and ensure the movement position of the object 5 to be discharged.
[0048] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, a spring sheet 15 is provided at the bottom of the limiting block 14, and the limiting block 14 can be pushed outward by the object to be discharged 5 and returned to its original position.
[0049] Specifically, a spring plate 15 is provided at the bottom of the limiting block 14, allowing the limiting block 14 to slide up and down. When the object to be discharged 5 gets stuck between the limiting block 14 and the side wall of the mounting base 1, it can exert a squeezing effect on the limiting block 14, thereby causing the limiting block 14 to move downward, allowing the object to be discharged 5 to slide through and preventing the object to be discharged 5 from getting stuck at this point. After the object to be discharged 5 has passed, the limiting block 14 moves upward to return to its original position.
[0050] This invention avoids the problem of the object to be discharged 5 getting stuck in the mounting base 1 by setting a limit block 14 that can slide up and down, thus improving the conveying efficiency.
[0051] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, the turntable 3 is provided with six dropping holes 31, which means that the guide plate 2 is provided with six placement slots 22 and six locking blocks 21.
[0052] Specifically, the turntable 3 is provided with 6 dropping holes 31, each hole spaced 60 degrees apart. The 6 dropping holes 31 can distribute the angle more evenly, which provides a uniform load for the turntable 3. When the turntable 3 needs to rotate at high speed, the 6 dropping holes 31 can provide better mechanical balance. Moreover, the 6 dropping holes 31 are more convenient to design and manufacture because they can be more easily matched with a hexagonal layout.
[0053] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, a conveying unit 4 is also included. The conveying unit 4 is disposed on one side of the mounting base 1 and communicates with the first channel 12. The conveying unit 4 extends outward.
[0054] Specifically, the conveying unit 4 includes two parallel clamping plates 41 and a second channel 42 formed by the two clamping plates 41. The distance between the two clamping plates 41 is the thickness of the object to be discharged 5, and the width of the second channel 42 is the diameter of the object to be discharged 5. The object to be discharged 5 can pass through the second channel 42 and be discharged.
[0055] The working process of this utility model is as follows: the object to be discharged 5 enters the discharge device through the dropping hole 31 on the turntable 3. Under the action of gravity, the object to be discharged 5 moves downward to the placement groove 22 of the guide plate 2. When the object to be discharged 5 moves to the point where the circular groove 11 in the mounting base 1 is tangent to the first channel 12, the object to be discharged 5 moves linearly along the first channel 12 under the action of centrifugal force. The end of the locking block 21 of the guide plate 2 and the groove wall of the circular groove 11 will restrict the object to be discharged 5 within it, thereby allowing the object to be discharged 5 to be discharged from the first channel 12.
[0056] In summary, this utility model provides a discharge device that provides a smooth transmission channel for the object to be discharged during the entire transmission process, preventing the object from getting stuck in the discharge device and improving the transmission efficiency of the discharge device.
[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
