[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the utility model, but the utility model can also be implemented in other manners different from those described herein, and a person skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without departing from the connotation of the utility model, so the utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below. EMBODIMENT

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the driving motor of the controllable rotating disc of the utility model comprises the following elements: a machine table 1 having an upper table surface 13, a receiving space 14 being formed below the upper table surface 13. A coin placing mechanism 100 is detachably mounted on the machine table 1. As shown, Figure 1 As shown, the coin placing mechanism 100 comprises: a coin placing disc 80; a coin limiting ring 10. The coin placing disc 80 is used for receiving a plurality of coins 3 and is mounted above the coin limiting ring 10. After assembly, the coin placing disc 80 is above the coin limiting ring 10, and the coin limiting ring 10 is fixed to the upper table surface 13 of the machine table 1. The coins 3 can fall from the coin placing disc 80 through the coin limiting ring 10 and drop above the machine table 1.

[0021] In actual use, the coin limiting ring 10 can be fixed above the upper table surface 13 of the machine table 1 first, and then the coin placing disc 80 is mounted above the coin limiting ring 10; or the coin placing disc 80 and the coin limiting ring 10 form an integrated structure (as shown), Figure 2 As shown, the coin placing disc 80 and the coin limiting ring 10 can be combined into an integrated structure or integrally formed during manufacturing in any manner. In this embodiment, the coin limiting ring 10 can be combined into an integrated structure with the coin placing disc 80 in any manner such as screwing, bonding, welding or riveting.

[0022] The coin-limiting ring 10 is an annular disc with a central perforation 101. The coin-limiting ring 10 includes multiple first connecting parts 11, and the upper platform 13 of the machine 1 has multiple second connecting parts 12, with the multiple first connecting parts 11 respectively mounted on the multiple second connecting parts 12. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the example of the present invention shown, the first connecting part 11 is a fastening part; the second connecting part 12 is a fastened part.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the coin tray 80 has a lower opening 81 that overlaps with the upper part of the central perforation 101 of the coin limiting ring 10. Preferably, the coin tray 80 is transparent or semi-transparent.

[0024] A rotating base 20 is mounted on the upper platform 13 of the machine platform 1. After assembly, the coin-limiting ring 10 surrounds the outer side of the rotating base 20, which is located inside the central perforation 101 of the coin-limiting ring 10. The rotating base 20 is a rotatable structure used to push the coins 3 of the coin-holding mechanism 100 into a conveyor track 30 extending from front to back and upward on the machine platform 1 via rotation. Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, a pivot 22 extends from the bottom of the rotating chassis 20. The pivot 22 passes through the upper platform 13 and protrudes into the receiving space 14.

[0025] A drive motor 50 is located in the receiving space 14 below the machine base 1. A spindle (not shown) of the drive motor 50 is directly connected to the rotating shaft 22 at the bottom of the rotating base 20 or indirectly transmitted through gears. Therefore, when the drive motor 50 is started, its spindle will drive the rotating shaft 22 at the bottom of the rotating base 20, thereby driving the rotating base 20 to rotate and moving the coin 3 to the conveyor track 30.

[0026] A rotating disk 62 is mounted on the rotating shaft 22 and located between the drive motor 50 and the rotating base 20 (e.g.) Figure 7 As shown). Figure 5 As shown, the rotating disk 62 has multiple notches 64.

[0027] A light sensor 66 is mounted on one side of the rotating disk 62. It projects light through the notch 64 of the rotating disk 62 and receives light passing through the notch 64, or light reflected from the rotating disk 62. Based on these received signals, the rotation of the rotating disk 62 is determined, and a sensing signal is generated accordingly. The light sensor 66 includes a light projector 661 and a light receiver 662, with the rotating disk 62 located between the light projector 661 and the light receiver 662.

[0028] The light projector 661 is used to project light through the gap 64, and the light receiver 662 is used to receive the light passing through the gap 64 or the light reflected by the rotating disc 62, so that the rotation condition of the rotating disc 62 is determined according to the received signals.

[0029] A controller 68 receives the sensing signals from the light sensor 66, and determines whether the rotation condition of the rotating disc 62 is normal.

[0030] When the controller 68 detects that the rotation condition of the rotating disc 62 is abnormal, the rotation speed of the driving motor 50 can be adjusted or the driving motor 50 can be stopped to protect the entire mechanism.

[0031] When the controller 68 detects that the rotating disc 62 does not rotate for a set period of time, a signal is sent to stop the driving motor 50 to protect the driving motor 50 from damage.

[0032] An output track 90 is connected to the outlet 301 at the upper rear end of the conveying track 30, and is an upwardly extending track for guiding the coins 3 output from the conveying track 30 upwardly.

[0033] As shown in Figure 8 the output track 90 includes a coin guiding passage 95 for receiving the coins 3 conveyed from the outlet 301 end of the conveying track 30 and conveying the coins 3 to a coin outlet 91 at the upper end of the output track 90.

[0034] As shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 the gap of the turning section 92 is deeper than the gap of the straight section 94, so that the coins 3 have a larger rotation allowance when passing through the turning section 92 with a deeper gap. The gap depth A of the turning section 92 is greater than the gap depth B of the straight section 94. This design can shorten the curvature and length of the turning section of the output track 90, so that the occupied volume of the entire output track 90 can be reduced, and the volume occupied by the entire mechanism can be simplified.

[0035] The type of the output track 90 shown in the figure is not used to limit the scope of the present application, and in fact the output track 90 can be formed in various different types as needed to output the coins 3 to the desired position.

[0036] As shown in Figure 8As shown in the drawings, the left-right coin control mechanism 110 is arranged at the end of the coin outlet 91 of the output track 90, and one end of the left-right coin control mechanism 110 is arranged in a right side sliding groove 93 of the output track 90, so that the coin 3 can be guided out from the coin outlet 91 on the left side of the output track 90.

[0037] The advantage of the utility model is that the mechanism for monitoring the rotating state of the rotating chassis is additionally arranged on the rotating shaft of the original rotating chassis, the light source is projected by the light projector of the light sensor through the gap on the rotating disc, the light passing through the gap is received by the light receiver, or the light reflected by the rotating disc is received, and the rotating state of the rotating disc is determined according to the received signals.

[0038] Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
