[0048] The following is a preferred embodiment of a slot machine provided by the utility model, which can solve the above technical problems.

[0049] The preferred embodiment of the utility model provides a slot machine, which comprises a coin box and a money box, and the money box is arranged in the coin box.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the money box comprises a main box 1, a swing assembly 2, a driving assembly 3 and a control module (not shown in the figure). The main box 1 comprises a box body 11, a coin collecting door 12 and a blocking plate 13, and the coin collecting door 12 is rotationally connected with the box body 11. The box body 11 comprises a top plate 111 and a side plate 112, and the top plate 111 and the side plate 112 enclose part of the coin storage space. The top plate 111 is provided with a coin slot 1111, and the side plate 112 is provided with a door opening 1121, and the door opening 1121 is communicated with the coin slot 1111 through the coin storage space. The blocking plate 13 is movably arranged on the inner side of the top plate 111 and is used for blocking the coin slot 1111. The coin collecting door 12 is used for blocking the door opening 1121.

[0051] The swing assembly 2 comprises a swing rod 21 and a first elastic member (not shown in the figure). The swing rod 21 is arranged inside the side plate 112, and comprises a first end 211, a rotating part 212 and a second end 213 arranged in sequence. The rotating part 212 is rotationally connected to the box body 11, and the first end 211 and the second end 213 are both capable of swinging around the axis of the rotating part 212. Figure 5 The dashed line at the rotating part 212 represents the axis of the rotating part 212. The first end 211 is used to movably abut against the blocking plate 13 in the moving direction of the blocking plate 13, and the second end 213 is movably arranged at the coin collecting door 12. The first elastic member is connected to the swing rod 21 and is used to provide elastic force. During the movement of the blocking plate 13 to block the coin slot 1111, the first elastic member moves the first end 211 away from the side plate 112 and moves the second end 213 close to the side plate 112, so as to lock the coin collecting door 12.

[0052] The driving assembly 3 is connected to the blocking plate 13 and is used to drive the blocking plate 13 to move to open and close the coin slot 1111, and to provide a rotating space for the swing rod 21.

[0053] The control module is connected to the driving assembly 3 and is used to control the action of the driving assembly 3.

[0054] The coin slot 1111 is in a revealed state and the coin collecting door 12 is in a closed state but not in a locked state under normal conditions. When it is needed to block the coin slot 1111 and lock the coin collecting door 12, the staff member operates the control module to drive the driving assembly 3 to drive the blocking plate 13 to move towards the coin slot 1111 to block the coin slot 1111. At the same time, since the first end 211 of the swing rod 21 movably abuts against the blocking plate 13, the elastic force of the first elastic member can drive the first end 211 to move away from the side plate 112, so as to move the second end 213 of the swing rod 21 close to the side plate 112, and then lock the coin collecting door 12. The coin slot 1111 and the coin collecting door 12 of the coin slot machine and the money box of the utility model can be simultaneously blocked and locked by operating only once, and the utility model is convenient to use.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10The coin receiving door 12 includes a door body 121 and a stop 122. The door body 121 is rotatably connected to a side plate 112. The stop 122 is movably disposed inside the door body 121 and is used to block the inside of the side plate 112 to lock the coin receiving door 12. After the second end 213 moves closer to the side plate 112, it can fix the stop 122 inside the side plate 112. Under normal conditions, the stop 122 is blocked inside the side plate 112, and the second end 213 is away from the stop 122, which allows the coin receiving door 12 to be in a closed state and an unlocked state. The coin receiving door 12 will not open automatically, but the stop 122 can be moved manually so that the side plate 112 no longer restricts the rotation of the coin receiving door 12, thereby allowing the coin receiving door 12 to be opened for easy use. The stop 122 is fixed to the inside of the side plate 112 by the second end 213, thereby locking the coin receiving door 12. Its structure is easy to implement and can firmly lock the coin receiving door 12.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 10 The second end 213 is provided with a protruding post 22, which extends toward the stop block 122. The stop block 122 is provided with a mating hole 1221 for the protruding post 22 to pass through. When the stop block 122 abuts against the side plate 112, the protruding post 22 passes through the mating hole 1221, which can lock the stop block 122 and prevent it from opening under external force, making it more secure and improving safety. When the second end 213 moves away from the side plate 112, the protruding post 22 disengages from the mating hole 1221, which can unlock the coin receiving door 12.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The stop block 122 is along the vertical direction ( Figure 8 The coin receiving door 12 is slidably positioned at the top of the door body 121 (in the z-direction). The coin receiving door 12 also includes a second elastic element 123 connected between the stop block 122 and the door body 121, providing elastic force to cause the stop block 122 to protrude beyond the upper edge of the door body 121. After the door body 121 is closed, the second elastic element 123 causes the stop block 122 to automatically stop inside the side panel 112, making it convenient to use. Even if the coin receiving door 12 is in the unlocked state, it will not automatically open without human intervention.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 5 The first elastic element is a compression spring. A first positioning groove is provided on the side plate 112, and a second positioning groove 215 is provided on the swing rod 21. The second positioning groove 215 is located between the first end 211 and the rotating part 212. The axial ends of the first elastic element are respectively located in the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove 215. When the blocking plate 13 moves towards the first end 211, only a small force is needed to compress the first elastic element, causing it to generate a large rebound force, facilitating subsequent locking of the coin receiving door 12.

[0059] Optionally, the positioning post can be used as an equivalent solution to the positioning groove, that is, the positioning groove can be replaced by the positioning post. For example, the first elastic element is a compression spring, the side plate 112 is provided with a first positioning post, and the rocker arm 21 is provided with a second positioning post. The second positioning post is located between the first end 211 and the rotating part 212, and the axial ends of the first elastic element are respectively sleeved on the first positioning post and the second positioning post. Of course, in other embodiments, the side plate 112 can be provided with a first positioning groove, and the rocker arm 21 can be provided with a second positioning post.

[0060] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 The swing arm 21 has an inclined surface 214 on the side facing away from the sealing plate 13. The inclined surface 214 extends from the first end 211 toward the rotating part 212, and the end of the inclined surface 214 away from the rotating part 212 is inclined toward the sealing plate 13. The inclined surface 214 creates a gap between the first end 211 and the side plate 112, thereby increasing the swing space of the swing arm 21 and making its swing smoother. At the same time, when the first elastic element is compressed, the deformation strength of the first elastic element can be increased, thereby making its rebound force greater and facilitating the locking of the coin receiving door 12.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 6 The sealing plate 13 has a downwardly extending protruding plate 131 at one end near the side plate 112, with the first end 211 abutting against the protruding plate 131. By providing the protruding plate 131, the vertical dimension of the sealing plate 13 can be increased. When the sealing plate 13 moves near the coin slot 1111, the protruding plate 131 abuts against the first end 211, resulting in a large contact area between the sealing plate 13 and the first end 211, preventing them from separating.

[0062] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 The sealing plate 13 is also equipped with a sensing element 134. The cash drawer also includes two slotted sensors connected to the top plate 111 and arranged along the moving direction of the sealing plate 13. The two slotted sensors work in conjunction with the sensing element 134 to limit the movement of the sealing plate 13. Through the cooperation of the two slotted sensors and the sensing element 134, the stroke of the sealing plate 13 can be accurately controlled.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 Coin slot 1111 is along the longitudinal direction ( Figure 6 The sealing plate 13 includes a long strip extending in the y-direction (in the middle). Figure 6The blocking part 132 is a long strip extending in the longitudinal direction, and is used to block the coin slot 1111. The driving part 133 is a long strip extending in the transverse direction. The driving assembly 3 comprises a motor 31, which is located at the longitudinal side of the driving part 133. The blocking part 132 is a long strip extending in the longitudinal direction, and can cover the coin slot 1111 extending in the longitudinal direction. The driving part 133 is a long strip extending in the transverse direction, and can have space for arranging the motor 31 at the longitudinal side, so that the structure is compact.

[0064] The use method of the money box of the preferred embodiment of the utility model:

[0065] In the normal state, the blocking part 132 is located at one side of the coin slot 1111, and the coin slot 1111 is in the exposed state. In the normal state, the blocking block 122 is blocked in the inner side of the side plate 112, the second end 213 is away from the blocking block 122, the convex column 22 is separated from the matching hole 1221, and the coin door 12 is in the closed state, but not in the locked state, and the coin door 12 can be opened artificially. When it is needed to block the coin slot 1111 and lock the coin door 12, the staff member operates the control module, such as swiping the card, so that the driving assembly 3 drives the blocking plate 13 to move towards the coin slot 1111, so as to block the coin slot 1111 through the blocking part 132. At the same time, since the first end 211 of the swing rod 21 is in movable abutment with the blocking plate 13, the elastic force of the first elastic member can drive the first end 211 to move away from the side plate 112, so that the second end 213 of the swing rod 21 moves close to the side plate 112, and then the convex column 22 is inserted into the matching hole 1221, so as to lock the coin door 12. When it is needed to expose the coin slot 1111 and unlock the coin door 12, the staff member swipes the card again to operate the control module, and the driving assembly 3 drives the blocking plate 13 to move away from the coin slot 1111, so as to open the coin slot 1111. At the same time, since the first end 211 of the swing rod 21 is in movable abutment with the blocking plate 13, the blocking plate 13 pushes the first end 211 of the swing rod 21 to move close to the side plate 112, so that the second end 213 of the swing rod 21 moves away from the side plate 112, and the convex column 22 is separated from the matching hole 1221, so as to unlock the coin door 12, and the swing rod 21 can compress the first elastic member, so that the first elastic member generates the elastic restoring force.

[0066] In this way, the use method of the money box of the preferred embodiment is completed.

[0067] The coin slot machine and the money box, the coin slot is in the exposed state, the coin collecting door is in the closed state, but is not in the locked state. When the coin slot needs to be closed and the coin collecting door needs to be locked, the staff member operates the control module, the driving assembly drives the blocking plate to move towards the coin slot to close the coin slot. At the same time, since the first end of the swing rod is movably abutted with the blocking plate, the elastic force of the first elastic member can drive the first end to move away from the side plate, so that the second end of the swing rod moves close to the side plate, and the coin collecting door is locked. The coin slot machine and the money box only need to be operated once to close the coin slot and lock the coin collecting door at the same time, and are convenient to use.

[0068] In conclusion, although the utility model has disclosed above with preferred embodiments, the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this, any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the conception of the technical scheme of the utility model within the technical range disclosed by the utility model, which should be covered in the protection scope of the utility model.
