[0036] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 The utility model discloses an embodiment provides a game machine coin feeding device, including support 1, coin feeding channel 4, the coin hopper 2 of being equipped with coin feeding port 211, the rotating coin throwing mechanism 3 who links with the coin hopper 2, support 1 and the lower part of coin hopper 2 are connected through fixed plate 8, and coin feeding port 211 is communicated with coin feeding channel 4, and the upper portion of coin feeding channel 4 is provided with coin outlet 6, and the coin outlet 6 is provided with the resetable toggle 7, and the toggle 7 is connected with the spring 71 for resetting, the rotating coin throwing mechanism 3 includes rotating base plate 31, the rotating base plate 31 is arranged in the coin hopper 2, and the central shaft 311 of rotating base plate 31 is connected with connecting piece 32, and the four peripheral sides of connecting piece 32 are inclined inclined surfaces, and the connecting piece 32 is a circular truncated cone in the embodiment, and the top 321 of connecting piece 32 is connected with curved pipe 33, and the curved pipe 33 is arranged in the coin hopper 2, and the bottom surface of connecting piece 32 is connected with rotating base plate 31.
[0037] In the prior art, when the coin in the coin hopper 2 is full, the coin may be stuck in the coin hopper 2 during the rotating and pressing process in the game machine coin feeding process, and cannot fall down, thereby causing the problem of empty coins. In the embodiment, the four peripheral sides of the connecting piece 32 are inclined inclined surfaces, and the connecting piece 32 is connected with the curved pipe 33. During the rotating process of the rotating base plate 31 in the game machine coin feeding process, the inclined inclined surfaces will not cause the coin to be stuck in the coin hopper 2 and the connecting piece 32. The curved pipe 33 rotates with the rotating base plate 31, breaks the balance of the coin in the coin hopper 2 wall, and will not cause a pile of coins to stay in the rotating wheel wall 21, thereby stirring the coin, and the coin will not be stuck in the coin hopper 2, and will not fall down, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of empty coins.
[0038] Specifically, in the embodiment, the outer diameter of the top 321 of the connecting piece 32 is smaller than the outer diameter of the bottom surface 322. Therefore, the connecting piece 32 is a circular truncated cone with a small top and a large bottom, and the inclined inclined surfaces are more likely to prevent the coin from being stuck.
[0039] Specifically, in the embodiment, the top 321 is provided with a bayonet 3211, and one end of the curved pipe 33 is clamped in the inner cavity of the connecting piece 32 through the bayonet 3211, so that the curved pipe 33 can be fixed on the connecting piece 32.
[0040] Specifically, the curved pipe 33 is a PU hose, so that the coin will not be damaged during the rotating and stirring process.
[0041] Specifically, the rotating coin throwing mechanism 3 comprises a driving motor 34 fixed below the coin hopper 2, the driving motor 34 is connected with the rotating base 31, so that the driving motor 34 can drive the rotating base 31 to rotate, the rotating base 31 is provided with a plurality of coin accommodating cavities 312, the inner wall of the coin accommodating cavities 312 is provided with a coin throwing passage (not marked in the figure) in a parabolic direction, specifically, in the embodiment, the coin accommodating cavities 312 are five, which are uniformly distributed around the central shaft 311.
[0042] Specifically, in the embodiment, the rotating base 31 is detachably connected with the connecting piece 32 through a screw 323, two ends of the screw 323 are respectively connected with the central shaft 311 and the bottom surface 322 of the connecting piece 32.
[0043] Specifically, the lower wall of the coin hopper 2 is provided with an opening, and is provided with a rotating wheel wall 21 matched with the rotating base 31, the lower surface of the rotating wheel wall 21 is provided with a coin feeding opening 211.
[0044] Specifically, the coin feeding device of the embodiment further comprises a coin discharging mechanism 5, the coin discharging mechanism 5 is communicated with the coin feeding opening 211 and the coin feeding passage 4, the coin discharging mechanism 5 comprises a cover plate 51 and a coin discharging assembly 52, the cover plate 51 covers the coin discharging assembly 52, the inside of the coin discharging assembly 52 forms a hollow transmission passage 521, the height of the transmission passage 521 can make the coin 10 arranged transversely pass through, two ends of the transmission passage 521 are respectively communicated with the coin feeding opening 211 and the coin feeding passage 4. When the rotating base 31 rotates, the coin 10 in the coin hopper 2 enters the coin throwing passage from the coin accommodating cavity 312, then goes out from the coin feeding opening 211, and then enters the transmission passage 521.
[0045] Specifically, the coin discharging assembly 52 further comprises a coin pushing assembly 53, the coin pushing assembly 53 is located at one side of the transmission passage 521, and is used for pushing the coin 10 falling into the transmission passage 521, so that the coin 10 moves along the transmission passage 521 to a predetermined position. The center of the coin pushing assembly 53 is provided with a shaft 531, a plurality of pushing claws 532 are extended around the outside of the shaft 531, when the shaft 531 rotates, the pushing claws 532 are driven to rotate, so as to push the coin 10 to move.
[0046] Specifically, the coin feeding device of the embodiment further comprises a gear set 9 connected between the driving motor 34 and the central shaft 311 of the rotating base 31, and also connected between the driving motor 34 and the shaft 531 of the coin pushing assembly 53. The rotation of the driving motor 34 drives the central shaft 311 of the rotating base 31 and the shaft 531 of the coin pushing assembly 53 through the gear set 9, so as to rotate the rotating base 31 and the coin pushing assembly 53. Thus, the coins 10 in the different coin containing cavities 312 of the rotating base 31 are sequentially dropped into the coin throwing channel, and then pushed by the coin pushing assembly 53, so that the coins 10 previously dropped into the transmission channel 521 are moved along the transmission channel 521 to a predetermined position, and the coins dropped later are located behind the previously dropped coins and abut against the previously dropped coins. Therefore, the coins are arranged one after another on the transmission channel 521, and the rear coins push the front coins to move along the transmission channel 521.
[0047] Specifically, the coin feeding channel 4 is vertically upward and smoothly transitions at the connection with the coin outlet mechanism 5. The smooth transition structure makes the coins more easily slide into the vertical part of the coin feeding channel 4 after being thrown out.
[0048] In operation, the computer sends a command to drive the driving motor 34 to rotate the gear set 9, so as to drive the rotating base 31 to rotate. Due to the centrifugal force, the coins in the coin containing cavities 312 are thrown out along the coin throwing channel, come out of the coin feeding opening 121, enter the coin outlet mechanism 5, and are pushed by the coin pushing mechanism 53 to slide into the coin feeding channel 4 along the transmission channel 521 one by one, and then come out of the coin outlet opening 6 above the coin feeding channel 4. At this time, the actuation of the pusher 7 drops the dropped coins to the external coin receiving device, and the coin feeding operation is completed.
[0049] In the coin feeding process, the inclined surface does not cause the coins to be stuck on the coin hopper 2 and the connecting piece 32 during the rotation of the rotating base 31. The curved pipe 33 rotates with the rotating base 31, breaks the balance of the coins on the wall of the coin hopper 2, and does not cause a stack of coins to stay in the wall 21 of the rotating wheel, so as to agitate the coins, and the coins are not stuck in the air in the coin hopper 2 and cannot drop down, avoiding the phenomenon of empty coins.
[0050] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
