Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of coin stacking game machine technology, and in particular to a single-tower coin stacking device and coin pusher. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, coin pushers can stack multiple game coins into a coin tower, and the game coins can be used to push the stacked coin tower over. However, current coin pushers typically stack game coins into a circular coin tower, with game coins in the same layer being stacked out of order with those in adjacent layers. This increases the difficulty of stacking, increases the stacking time, and leads to a decline in user experience. At the same time, it also increases the structural complexity of the coin pusher. In addition, the circular coin tower makes it more likely for the tower to be knocked over, which may cause users to lose interest in participating. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this application proposes a single-tower coin stacking device and coin pusher, which can reduce the difficulty of stacking tower coins and improve the user experience.

[0004] One embodiment of this application provides a single-tower array coin stacking device, comprising:

[0005] support;

[0006] A coin storage device includes a mounting frame, a coin storage bin, a coin-topping column, and a first lifting mechanism. The mounting frame is movably connected to the support frame. The coin storage bin is mounted on the mounting frame and has multiple coin storage cavities arranged in parallel. The coin-topping column is at least partially disposed within the coin storage cavities. The first lifting mechanism is mounted on the mounting frame and drives the coin-topping column to lift and lower to push out the coin tower inside the coin storage bin. The coin storage device has a coin loading station and a coin pushing station.

[0007] A coin feeding device is used to transport game coins to the coin loading station;

[0008] A lateral movement device is used to move the coin storage device between the coin loading station and the coin pushing station; and

[0009] A coin-pushing mechanism is used to push the coin tower horizontally.

[0010] Furthermore, a rectangular array of multiple coin storage cavities is arranged.

[0011] Furthermore, the coin storage device includes a support plate, and each coin storage cavity is correspondingly provided with a top coin column. The top coin columns are installed at intervals on the support plate. The first lifting mechanism drives the support plate to move, thereby driving the top coin columns to move.

[0012] Furthermore, the first lifting mechanism includes a first lifting drive component, a swing arm, and a connecting rod. The first lifting drive component is mounted on the mounting frame. The first lifting drive component is fixedly connected to one end of the swing arm. The other end of the swing arm is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod. The other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the support plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the coin feeding device includes a tray, a coin feeding section, a coin pusher slider, and a first driving mechanism. The tray has a coin feeding channel and a coin drop opening. The coin feeding section has a coin feeding opening, which is connected to the coin feeding channel. The coin pusher slider is disposed on the tray and located on one side of the coin feeding channel. The first driving mechanism pushes the game coin in the coin feeding channel to the coin drop opening through the coin pusher slider.

[0014] Furthermore, the coin feeding device also includes a limiting baffle and a second driving mechanism. The limiting baffle is disposed between the coin feeding channel and the coin drop port. The limiting baffle is used to stop the game coins in the coin feeding channel. The second driving mechanism drives the limiting baffle to rise and fall.

[0015] Furthermore, the coin-pushing mechanism includes a pusher plate and a third drive mechanism, the third drive mechanism being used to move the pusher plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the bracket has a first notch, a door panel, and a fourth drive mechanism. The first notch corresponds to the coin pusher station, the door panel is movably matched with the first notch, the fourth drive mechanism is installed on the bracket and connected to the door panel, and the fourth drive mechanism is used to drive the door panel to move so that the door panel can engage or disengage from the first notch.

[0017] Furthermore, the fourth driving mechanism includes a fourth driving component, a fixed bracket, a first driving gear, a rotating rod, a driven gear, and a fixing component. The fourth driving component and the fixed bracket are respectively fixedly connected to the bracket. The first driving gear is connected to the output end of the fourth driving component. The rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket. The driven gear is connected to the rotating rod. The fixing component connects the rotating rod and the door panel.

[0018] Furthermore, the lateral movement device includes a drive rod and a lateral movement drive mechanism. One end of the drive rod is connected to the mounting bracket. The lateral movement drive mechanism includes a lateral movement drive component and a second drive gear. The second drive gear is connected to the lateral movement drive component. The drive rod is provided with a meshing part that cooperates with the second drive gear. The second drive gear meshes with the meshing part.

[0019] Another embodiment of the coin pusher in this application includes the single-tower array coin stacking device as described above.

[0020] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the single-tower array coin stacking device and coin pusher of the present application embodiments have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0021] After each game coin is placed into the coin feeding device, it is transported to the coin loading station and then falls into the various coin storage chambers in the coin storage bin. A lateral movement device then moves the entire coin storage device to the coin pushing station. The first lifting mechanism of the coin storage device drives the top coin column to rise and fall, lifting the coin towers within the storage chambers. The coin pushing mechanism then pushes the coin towers laterally, removing them from the storage chambers, thus creating parallel coin towers. During the stacking process, multiple game coins can be stacked together after falling into the storage chambers to form coin towers, reducing the difficulty and time required for stacking. Furthermore, the independent and parallel arrangement of each coin tower provides a better visual effect, helping to attract users to participate in the single-tower array coin pusher of this embodiment.

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, one embodiment of this application discloses a single-tower array coin stacking device, including a support 100, a coin storage device, a coin feeding device 300, a horizontal movement device, and a coin pushing mechanism.

[0034] Specifically, the coin storage device includes a mounting frame 210, a coin storage bin 220, a coin-topping column 230, and a first lifting mechanism 250. The mounting frame 210 is movably connected to the support 100. The coin storage bin 220 is mounted on the mounting frame 210 and has multiple parallel coin storage chambers 221. The coin-topping column 230 is at least partially disposed within the coin storage chambers 221. The first lifting mechanism 250 is mounted on the mounting frame 210 and drives the coin-topping column 230 to lift and lower to push the coin tower out of the coin storage bin 220. The coin storage device includes a coin loading station and a coin pushing station.

[0035] It is understandable that during the process of transporting game coins to the coin storage bin 220, the coin storage bin 220 is located at the coin loading station; when it is necessary to push out the stacked coin tower inside the coin storage bin 220, the coin storage bin 220 is located at the coin pushing station.

[0036] The coin feeding device 300 is used to transport game coins to the coin loading station. In practical applications, users insert game coins into the coin feeding device 300, which moves the game coins to the coin loading station and allows them to fall into the coin storage chamber 221 of the coin storage bin 220, thereby stacking the inserted game coins into a single tower of coins within the coin storage chamber 221.

[0037] The lateral movement device is used to move the coin storage device between the coin loading station and the coin pushing station.

[0038] The coin-pushing mechanism is used to push the coin tower horizontally. In practical applications, the first lifting mechanism 250 can lift the coin tower stacked in the coin storage cavity 221 by driving the top coin column 230 to push it out of the coin storage cavity 221. At this time, the coin-pushing mechanism can push the aforementioned coin tower horizontally (i.e., along the X direction) by moving laterally, so that the coin tower is separated from the coin storage cavity 221, thus obtaining a single tower of coins made up of game coins. Since the coin storage bin 220 has multiple coin storage cavities 221 arranged in parallel, multiple single coin towers arranged in parallel can be obtained.

[0039] After each game coin is placed into the coin feeding device 300, the game coin can be transported to the coin loading station by the coin feeding device 300, and then fall into the coin storage chambers 221 in the coin storage bin 220. Subsequently, the lateral movement device can move the coin storage device to the coin pushing station. The first lifting mechanism 250 of the coin storage device drives the top coin column 230 to lift up the coin tower in the coin storage chamber 221. Then the coin pushing mechanism can push the coin tower laterally, so that the coin tower leaves the coin storage chamber 221. In this way, coin towers can be arranged side by side.

[0040] During the stacking process, after the game coins fall into the coin storage cavity 221, multiple game coins can be stacked together to form a coin tower, reducing the difficulty of stacking the coin tower and reducing the stacking time. At the same time, each coin tower is independent of the others, which can achieve a better visual effect and help attract users to participate in using the single-tower array coin pusher of this embodiment.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, see Figures 1 to 3 The coin storage bins 220 are arranged in a rectangular array with multiple coin storage cavities 221. Specifically, with the X direction as the column, each coin storage bin 220 has at least one coin storage cavity 221 along the X direction; with the Y direction as the row, each coin storage bin 220 has at least two coin storage cavities 221 along the Y direction. Thus, after stacking, there is at least one row of single-tower coin towers, and each row of coin towers has at least two columns of coin towers.

[0042] In the above embodiments, the coin storage cavities 221 are rectangularly distributed, resulting in a rectangularly distributed single-tower coin tower. It is worth noting that in other embodiments, the arrangement of the coin storage cavities 221 can be customized according to the desired coin tower distribution. For example, the coin storage bin 220 may have a row of coin storage cavities 221, with each cavity arranged in an arc shape. This results in an arc-shaped single-tower coin tower after stacking, improving the user's gaming experience.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The coin storage device includes a support plate 240, and each coin storage cavity 221 is correspondingly provided with a coin-supporting column 230. The coin-supporting columns 230 are installed at intervals on the support plate 240. The first lifting mechanism 250 drives the support plate 240 to move, thereby driving the coin-supporting columns 230 to move. Specifically, on the one hand, the number of coin-supporting columns 230 corresponds to the number of coin storage cavities 221, and a coin-supporting column 230 is provided at a position corresponding to each coin storage cavity 221; on the other hand, each coin-supporting column 230 is connected to the support plate 240. Thus, the first lifting mechanism 250 can drive the support plate 240 to move, thereby driving each coin-supporting column 230 to move synchronously.

[0044] In one possible implementation, see Figures 1 to 3 The first lifting mechanism 250 includes a first lifting drive component 251, a swing arm 252 and a connecting rod 253. The first lifting drive component 251 is mounted on the mounting frame 210. The first lifting drive component 251 is fixedly connected to one end of the swing arm 252. The other end of the swing arm 252 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 253. The other end of the connecting rod 253 is rotatably connected to the support plate 240.

[0045] In practical applications, the first lifting drive component 251 drives the swing arm 252 to rotate, thereby raising and lowering the support plate 240 via the connecting rod 253. Specifically, the first lifting drive component 251 can be a motor.

[0046] Furthermore, the first lifting mechanism 250 also includes a first slide rail, which is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 210, and the support plate 240 is slidably connected to the first slide rail. This allows the support plate 240 to move along the extension direction of the first slide rail, thereby ensuring the consistency of the movement direction of the top support column 230.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, see Figures 1 to 3 The coin feeding device 300 includes a tray 310, a coin feeding section 320, a coin pusher slider 330, and a first drive mechanism 340. The tray 310 has a coin feeding channel 311 and a coin drop opening 312. The coin feeding section 320 has a coin inlet that communicates with the coin feeding channel 311. The coin pusher slider 330 is disposed on the tray 310 and located on one side of the coin feeding channel 311. The first drive mechanism 340 pushes the game coin in the coin feeding channel 311 to the coin drop opening 312 via the coin pusher slider 330. The coin pusher slider 330 is positioned on the side of the coin feeding channel 311 away from the coin drop opening 312. Thus, when the game coin enters the coin feeding channel 311 through the coin inlet, it can move towards the coin drop opening 312 under the action of the coin pusher slider 330.

[0048] It should be noted that when the coin pusher 330 pushes the game coins in the coin feeding channel 311 to the coin drop opening 312, the coin storage bin 220 should be located at the coin loading position. That is, the upper end of the coin storage cavity 221 of the coin storage bin 220 corresponds to the coin drop opening 312, so that the game coins in the coin feeding channel 311 fall into the coin storage cavity 221.

[0049] In the above embodiment, the coin feeding channel 311 is formed on the tray 310. In order to facilitate pushing the game coins on the coin feeding channel 311 to the coin drop port 312, there should be no step between the coin feeding channel 311 and the coin drop port 312 to prevent the step from blocking the movement of the game coins.

[0050] In one possible implementation, see Figure 3 The first drive mechanism 340 includes a moving rod, a connecting arm 341, and a first drive member 342. The output end of the first drive member 342 is connected to one end of the moving rod to drive the moving rod to rotate. The other end of the moving rod is connected to one end of the connecting arm 341, and the other end of the connecting arm 341 is connected to the coin pusher slider 330. By driving the moving rod to rotate, the first drive member 342 can drive the connecting arm 341 and the coin pusher slider 330 to move, thereby causing the coin pusher slider 330 to reciprocate along the X direction.

[0051] In order to align the game coins in the coin inlet channel 311, in this embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The coin feeding device 300 also includes a limiting baffle 361 and a second driving mechanism 362. The limiting baffle 361 is disposed between the coin feeding channel 311 and the coin drop opening 312. The limiting baffle 361 is used to stop the game coins in the coin feeding channel 311. The second driving mechanism 362 drives the limiting baffle 361 to rise and fall. Specifically, the tray 310 is provided with a clearance channel 313 corresponding to the position of the limiting baffle 361. The limiting baffle 361 can extend above the upper surface of the tray 310 through the aforementioned clearance channel 313, so that the limiting baffle 361 can abut against the side of the game coin, thereby stopping the game coin. When it is necessary to push the game coin in the coin feeding channel 311 to the coin drop opening 312, the second driving mechanism 362 drives the limiting baffle 361 to descend, so that the limiting baffle 361 retracts to a position below the tray 310, thereby facilitating the pushing of the game coin in the coin feeding channel 311 to the coin drop opening 312.

[0052] In this embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3 The coin feeding device 300 also includes a cover plate 350, which is disposed on the tray 310 and there is a gap between the cover plate 350 and the tray 310. The coin pusher 330 is located between the cover plate 350 and the tray 310 and can move relative to the tray 310 or the cover plate 350.

[0053] In one possible implementation, the coin feeding channel 311 is defined by a tray 310, a cover plate 350, a limiting baffle 361, and a coin pusher 330. When it is necessary to push the game coin in the coin feeding channel 311 to the coin drop opening 312, the limiting baffle 361 moves downward, so that the limiting baffle 361 is at or below the supporting plane of the tray 310, so as to facilitate the coin pusher 330 to push the game coin into the coin drop opening 312, and thus into the coin storage cavity 221 of the coin storage bin 220 located at the coin loading station.

[0054] In this embodiment, the coin feeding channel 311 extends along the Y direction.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The coin-pushing mechanism includes a pusher plate 510 and a third drive mechanism 520, which is used to move the pusher plate 510. Specifically, when the coin storage bin 220 is located at the coin-pushing position and the first lifting mechanism 250 lifts the stacked coin towers in the coin storage cavity 221, the third drive mechanism 520 pushes the lifted coin towers, causing them to move along the X direction. In this way, the coin towers can be transferred from the coin storage cavity 221 to the support 100.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The coin-pushing mechanism also includes a third drive unit, a connecting part 530 and a drive unit 540. The pusher 510 is installed at one end of the connecting part 530, and the third drive mechanism 520 is connected to the connecting part 530 through the drive unit 540.

[0057] In one embodiment, the third driving component is specifically a motor. The driving unit 540 includes a crank and a rocker arm. The output end of the motor is connected to one end of the crank, and the other end of the crank is connected to one end of the rocker arm. The other end of the rocker arm is hinged to the connecting part 530. The motor drives the crank to rotate, thereby driving the rocker arm and the connecting part 530 to move, which in turn drives the push plate 510 to reciprocate in the X direction.

[0058] It is worth understanding that the drive unit 540 may also be other mechanisms that can drive the connecting unit 530 to reciprocate in the X direction, and this is not limited here.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The support 100 has a first notch 110, a door panel 130, and a fourth drive mechanism. The first notch 110 corresponds to the coin pusher position, and the door panel 130 is movably matched with the first notch 110. The fourth drive mechanism is installed on the support 100 and connected to the door panel 130. The fourth drive mechanism is used to drive the door panel 130 to move, so that the door panel 130 can engage or disengage from the first notch 110. In this embodiment, the first notch 110 is located at the coin pusher position of the coin storage device. Before the coin storage device moves to the coin pusher position, the door panel 130 must be in an open state, that is, the door panel 130 is disengaged from the first notch 110, and the door panel 130 cannot interfere with the movement of the coin storage device to the coin pusher position. The first notch 110 facilitates the lifting of the coin tower in the coin storage bin 220 to a position flush with the upper surface of the support 100, so that the pusher 510 can push the lifted coin tower from the coin storage bin 220 to the support 100 or other positions.

[0060] In one possible implementation, see Figure 1 The support 100 also includes a second notch 120, which is spaced apart from the first notch 110 along the X direction. Thus, by controlling the stroke of the pusher 510, the coin tower can be pushed from the coin storage bin 220 to the second notch 120, or from the coin storage bin 220 to the position between the first notch 110 and the second notch 120. In practical applications, the stroke of the pusher 510 can be controlled according to the corresponding game rules, and is not limited here.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the fourth drive mechanism includes a fourth drive member 141, a fixed bracket 142, a first drive gear 143, a rotating rod 144, a driven gear, and a fixing member 145. The fourth drive member 141 and the fixed bracket 142 are fixedly connected to the bracket 100. The first drive gear 143 is connected to the output end of the fourth drive member 141. The rotating rod 144 is rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket 142. The driven gear is connected to the rotating rod 144. The fixing member 145 connects the rotating rod 144 and the door panel 130. The fourth drive member 141 can drive the rotating rod 144 to rotate through the first drive gear 143 and the driven gear. The rotating rod 144 is fixedly connected to the fixing member 145. The door panel 130 is mounted on the fixing member 145. Thus, the door panel 130 can be driven to swing, thereby allowing the door panel 130 to switch between the positions of the first notch 110 and the non-first notch 110.

[0062] In practical applications, for example, the fourth driving component 141 can be a motor.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The lateral movement device includes a drive rod 410 and a lateral movement drive mechanism 420. One end of the drive rod 410 is connected to the mounting bracket 210. The lateral movement drive mechanism 420 includes a lateral movement drive component and a second drive gear. The second drive gear is connected to the lateral movement drive component. The drive rod 410 is provided with a meshing part that cooperates with the second drive gear. The second drive gear meshes with the meshing part.

[0064] Thus, the transverse drive mechanism 420 drives the second drive gear to rotate, which in turn drives the drive rod 410 to move in the X direction, thereby driving the coin storage device to move in the X direction, so that the coin storage device can switch between the coin loading station and the coin pushing station.

[0065] In one possible implementation, please continue to see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the transverse drive mechanism 420 can specifically be a motor.

[0066] It is worth noting that in the above embodiments, the lateral movement device may also use a screw mechanism or other linkage mechanism to drive the coin storage device to reciprocate in the X direction, and this is not limited here.

[0067] Another embodiment of this application discloses a coin pusher, including the single-tower array coin stacking device as described above, which has all the technical effects of the aforementioned single-tower array coin stacking device, and will not be repeated here.
