[0017] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is based on the technical solution of the present invention and provides detailed implementation methods and specific operating procedures; however, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0018] refer to Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this utility model provides a flip-plate device with a self-locking function, including a drive system 1, a linkage mechanism 2, a flip-plate mechanism 3, a sensor 4, a motor mounting frame 5, and a coin-clearing flip-plate outer frame 6; the drive system 1 is connected to the motor mounting frame 5 by bolts, and the side of the motor mounting frame 5 away from the drive system 1 is connected to the coin-clearing flip-plate outer frame 6 by bolts; the drive system 1 drives the linkage mechanism 2, which is located inside the motor mounting frame 5; the side of the linkage mechanism 2 away from the drive system 1 is connected to the flip-plate mechanism 3; the flip-plate mechanism 3 is provided with a sensor 4 at the end away from the linkage mechanism 2; and the flip-plate mechanism 3 is movably disposed within the coin-clearing flip-plate outer frame 6.

[0019] Specifically, the drive system 1 includes a motor 11 and a motor adapter plate 12. The motor 11 is a DC worm gear reducer motor with a self-locking function, which can ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the flipping action and maintain the position of the flip plate 31 after the power supply is stopped. The motor 11 is connected to the motor mounting frame 5 through the motor adapter plate 12.

[0020] The linkage mechanism 2 includes a rocker arm assembly 21, a connecting rod bearing 22, a sliding connecting rod 23, a grating disk 24, and a positioning sleeve 25. The output end of the motor 11 is connected to one end of the rocker arm assembly 21, and the other end of the rocker arm assembly 21 away from the motor 11 is connected to the inner ring of the connecting rod bearing 22. The outer ring of the bearing 22 is set in the sliding groove of the sliding connecting rod 23. Under the drive of the motor 11, the rocker arm assembly 21 drives the connecting rod bearing 22 to swing, thereby causing the connecting rod bearing 22 to move in the sliding groove of the sliding connecting rod 23, and driving the sliding connecting rod 23 to move.

[0021] A grating disk 24 is provided on the side of the sliding connecting rod 23 away from the connecting rod bearing 22, and a positioning sleeve 25 is provided on the side of the grating disk 24 away from the sliding connecting rod 23. The grating disk 24 is used to detect the position of the flip plate 31 and stop and hold it at the set position. The sensor 4 relies on the light-shielding plate on the grating disk to determine the position and collect signals. The positioning sleeve 25 ensures that the flip plate 31 is installed in an accurate position and plays a role in installation positioning.

[0022] The flipping mechanism 3 includes a flipping plate 31, a coin clearing device shaft 32, and flipping plate bearings 33. The bottom end of the flipping plate 31 is connected to the coin clearing device shaft 32. The coin clearing device shaft 32 is equipped with two flipping plate bearings 33. The flipping plate bearings 33 are close to the bottom sides of the flipping plate 31. The flipping mechanism 3 is movably connected to the side wall of the coin clearing flipping plate outer frame 6 through the flipping plate bearings 33. By flipping the flipping plate 31, coins can be guided to different channels. Its structure is simple and the guidance is stable.

[0023] The section of the coin cleaner shaft 32 near the linkage mechanism 2 has an arc-shaped cross section. The sliding connecting rod 23 and the grating disk 24 are provided with arc-shaped holes of the same shape and size as the arc-shaped cross section of the coin cleaner shaft 32. The arc-shaped cross section of the coin cleaner shaft 32 passes through the positioning sleeve 25, the grating disk 24 and the sliding connecting rod 23 in sequence, so that the driving force of the motor 11 is transmitted to the coin cleaner shaft 32, which can effectively convert the rotational motion of the motor 11 into the swinging motion of the flip plate 31, realize the rapid back-and-forth flipping of the flip plate 31, and enhance the self-locking effect.

[0024] Sensor 4 detects signals from the grating disk and provides information input to the main control unit. Through programming, it enables precise control of the flip plate 31's rotation and can be linked with other related modules for control.

[0025] The beneficial effects are as follows: This utility model utilizes a DC worm gear motor and a self-locking mechanism to reduce the failure rate caused by wear and ensure the stability of equipment operation; the design of the motor combined with the linkage mechanism enables rapid and smooth flipping, and can quickly switch between different channels according to different usage needs, improving the overall processing efficiency of the machine; through the simplified linkage mechanism design, fewer parts are required, reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs and facilitating mass production; the worm gear motor design has an excellent self-locking function, ensuring the flip plate is safe and reliable throughout the entire operation, avoiding flip plate reset due to unexpected factors, ensuring the accurate transmission of coins, and minimizing safety hazards; it can not only adapt to different types of coins and flexibly meet various coin processing needs, but can also be applied to various self-service machines, and has a good market prospect.
