Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coin dispenser technology, and in particular to a coin dispenser that intercepts game coins. Background Technology

[0002] Entertainment venues often use coin dispensers to exchange for game tokens, which are then used to experience the venue's entertainment equipment. However, the continuous dispensing of tokens can damage the dispenser's end, requiring repair. Repairing the dispenser typically involves inserting pre-fabricated connecting rods into the flow channel at the front of the coin outlet. These rods are used to intercept the flow of game tokens, preventing them from flowing into the outlet. However, to achieve this interception, multiple spaced connecting rods need to be inserted sequentially, a time-consuming and laborious process that fails to quickly stop the flow of game tokens towards the outlet. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a coin dispenser that intercepts game coins, thereby avoiding the time-consuming and laborious process of inserting plug-in rods and achieving rapid interception of game coins.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a coin dispenser for intercepting game coins, comprising:

[0005] The housing has spaced-apart flow outlets and coin outlets;

[0006] A receiving plate, wherein the receiving plate is disposed between the flow inlet and the coin outlet of the housing, and the surface of the receiving plate is provided with a flow groove, which is disposed along the path between the flow inlet and the coin outlet of the housing; and

[0007] An active plate is movably connected to the receiving plate and avoids or blocks the flow channel so that the flow guide can be connected to or blocked from the coin outlet.

[0008] Optionally, the flow channel has two opposing side walls, and the movable plate can movably pass through the two side walls of the flow channel so that the movable plate avoids or blocks the flow channel.

[0009] Optionally, the surface of the movable plate is formed with a clearance notch and a shielding structure arranged side by side, and the movable plate passes through the flow groove along the setting direction of the shielding structure and the clearance notch, so that the clearance notch or the shielding structure is located in the flow groove.

[0010] Optionally, the shielding structure includes a plurality of grid strips, which are spaced apart at the clearance notch and are evenly distributed to shield the flow groove.

[0011] Optionally, the surface of the movable plate is provided with an anti-detachment component, which is located on the side of the shielding structure opposite to the avoidance gap, so that the movable plate is movably connected to the receiving plate.

[0012] Optionally, the movable plate is connected to a handle structure on the side protruding from the clearance notch. The handle structure protrudes from the housing and drives the movable plate through the flow groove.

[0013] Optionally, the handle structure includes a pull rod and a mounting base, the pull rod being spaced apart from the movable plate, and the mounting base being connected to the pull rod and the movable plate, so that the pull rod drives the movable plate through the mounting base.

[0014] Optionally, the housing includes a first guide plate and a second guide plate spaced apart, the first guide plate being inclinedly disposed on the second guide plate to form the flow port, and the second guide plate being inclinedly disposed on the flow channel.

[0015] Optionally, the housing has an observation port communicating with its interior. The observation port is located on the receiving plate and is fitted with a movable baffle to open or close the observation port.

[0016] In this invention, the housing has a spaced-apart flow inlet and coin outlet. A receiving plate is positioned between the flow inlet and coin outlet. A flow groove is formed on the surface of the receiving plate, running along the path between the flow inlet and coin outlet. A movable plate is movably connected to the receiving plate, avoiding or blocking the flow groove, thus allowing the flow inlet to either connect to or block the coin outlet. In this way, the invention achieves the connection or blockage between the flow inlet and coin outlet through the transmission of the movable plate. When the coin outlet requires maintenance, the movable plate blocks the flow groove, and the flow inlet is blocked at the coin outlet, thus intercepting the flow of game coins. When the coin outlet is repaired, the movable plate avoids the flow groove, and the flow inlet connects to the coin outlet, thus enabling the exchange of game coins. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown in one embodiment of this utility model, a coin dispenser for intercepting game coins includes: a housing 100, the housing 100 having a spaced-apart guide port 100a and a coin dispenser 100b; a receiving plate 300, the receiving plate 300 being disposed between the guide port 100a and the coin dispenser 100b of the housing 100, the surface of the receiving plate 300 having a flow groove 300a, the flow groove 300a being disposed along the path of the guide port 100a and the coin dispenser 100b of the housing 100; and a movable plate 500, the receiving plate 300 being movably connected to the movable plate 500, the movable plate 500 avoiding or blocking the flow groove 300a, so that the guide port 100a can be connected to or blocked from the coin dispenser 100b.

[0029] In the technical solution of this utility model, the housing 100 is formed with a flow guide 100a and a coin outlet 100b spaced apart. The receiving plate 300 is disposed between the flow guide 100a and the coin outlet 100b of the housing 100. A flow groove 300a is formed on the surface of the receiving plate 300. The flow groove 300a is disposed in the path between the flow guide 100a and the coin outlet 100b of the housing 100. The movable plate 500 is movably connected to the receiving plate 300. The movable plate 500 avoids or blocks the flow groove 300a so that the flow guide 100a can be connected to or blocked from the coin outlet 100b. Thus, this invention, through the transmission movable plate 500, achieves the connection or blockage between the guide port 100a and the coin outlet 100b. When the coin outlet 800 needs maintenance, the movable plate 500 blocks the flow channel 300a, and the guide port 100a is blocked at the coin outlet 100b, thereby intercepting the flow of game coins. When the coin outlet 800 is ready for maintenance, the movable plate 500 moves away from the flow channel 300a, and the guide port 100a is open to the coin outlet 100b, thereby enabling the exchange of game coins. This invention, through the transmission movable plate 500, achieves the switching between the coin dispenser's exchange state and the interception state, thus facilitating the maintenance of the coin outlet 800.

[0030] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the present invention, the guide port 100a is located above the coin outlet 100b, and the game coin is transmitted downwards under the action of gravity. Of course, in order to achieve smooth guidance of the game coin between the guide port 100a and the coin outlet 100b, this embodiment can also be equipped with a motor, and the rotation of the motor can realize the guidance of the game coin between the guide port 100a and the coin outlet 100b. This embodiment is not limited to this, and all of the above are within the protection scope of this utility model. In addition, the flow groove 300a of the receiving plate 300 is located in the transmission path of the game coin, and the movable plate 500 is movably connected to the receiving plate 300. The movable connection direction between the movable plate 500 and the receiving plate 300 can be a rotational connection or a sliding connection, as long as the movable plate 500 can avoid and block the flow groove 300a. This embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this, and all of the above are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0031] See Figures 1 to 5As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the flow channel 300a has two opposing side walls, and the movable plate 500 can movably pass through the two side walls of the flow channel 300a, so that the movable plate 500 avoids or blocks the flow channel 300a. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the movable plate 500 can movably pass through the two side walls of the flow channel 300a, and the movable plate 500 is slidably connected to the side walls of the flow channel 300a. Thus, by sliding the movable plate 500 along the flow channel 300a, the movable plate 500 avoids or blocks the flow channel 300a, thereby allowing the guide port 100a to be connected to or blocked from the coin outlet 100b. Of course, the movable plate 500 can be a movable baffle plate, which can avoid and block the flow channel 300a by the movable baffle plate. The movable plate 500 can also include an avoidance notch 500a and a blocking structure 510. The movable plate 500 can be used to avoid and block the flow channel 300a by the avoidance notch 500a or the blocking structure 510. This embodiment is not limited to this. All of the above are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the surface of the movable plate 500 is formed with an avoidance notch 500a and a blocking structure 510. The movable plate 500 passes through a flow groove 300a along the setting direction of the blocking structure 510 and the avoidance notch 500a, so that the blocking structure 510 or the avoidance notch 500a is disposed in the flow groove 300a. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the movable plate 500 is moved along the setting direction of the blocking structure 510 and the avoidance notch 500a by means of transmission, so that the blocking structure 510 or the avoidance notch 500a is disposed in the flow groove 300a. Specifically, when the clearance gap 500a is located in the circulation channel 300a, the guide port 100a is connected to the coin outlet 100b, allowing game coins to flow out from the coin outlet 100b, thus realizing the exchange function of game coins; when the blocking structure 510 is located in the circulation channel 300a, the guide port 100a is blocked from the coin outlet 100b, preventing game coins from flowing to the coin outlet 100b, thus realizing the interception function of game coins. In this embodiment, the push-pull movable plate 500 realizes the switching between the two states of the coin dispenser, thereby providing convenience for the maintenance of the coin dispenser end 800.

[0033] See Figures 1 to 5As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the blocking structure 510 includes multiple grid strips 511, which are spaced apart at the clearance gap 500a. The multiple grid strips 511 are evenly distributed to block the flow channel 300a. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the blocking structure 510 is formed by multiple spaced grid strips 511. In this way, the gap between two adjacent grid strips 511 is controlled to be smaller than the outer diameter of the game coin. When the grid strips 511 are placed in the flow channel 300a, the game coin is blocked by the grid strips 511 and cannot flow through the grid strips 511 to the coin outlet 100b, thereby achieving the interception of the game coin. This utility model uses spaced grid strips 511 to intercept the game coins, thereby reducing the contact area between the game coins and the blocking structure 510 and reducing the friction between the game coins and the blocking structure 510. When the coin dispensing end 800 is repaired, the inward movable plate 500 can easily switch to the coin dispensing machine's exchange state, thus realizing the smooth switching between different states of the coin dispensing machine and providing convenience for the maintenance of the coin dispensing machine.

[0034] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the surface of the movable plate 500 is provided with an anti-detachment member 600. The anti-detachment member 600 is located on the side of the shielding structure 510 away from the avoidance notch 500a, so that the movable plate 500 is movably connected to the receiving plate 300. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, through the setting of the anti-detachment member 600, during the outward pulling process, the anti-detachment member 600 abuts against the outer wall of the flow groove 300a, thereby limiting the receiving plate 300 to the movable plate 500, thus preventing the movable plate 500 from detaching from the receiving plate 300, thereby limiting the movement of the movable plate 500 relative to the flow groove 300a.

[0035] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a handle structure 700 is connected to the side of the movable plate 500 protruding from the avoidance notch 500a. The handle structure 700 protrudes from the housing 100 and drives the movable plate 500 through the flow channel 300a. It should be noted that this embodiment achieves the switching of different states of the coin dispenser by pushing and pulling the external handle structure 700. Specifically, when the coin dispensing end 800 needs maintenance, the external handle structure 700 is pulled, and the blocking structure 510 is set in the flow channel 300a. In this way, the movable plate 500 intercepts the game coins, and the game coins cannot flow to the coin dispensing port 100b, and the coin dispenser is in the interception state. When the coin dispensing end 800 has completed maintenance, the internal handle structure 700 is pushed, and the avoidance notch 500 is set in the flow channel 300a. In this way, the movable plate 500 avoids the game coins, and the game coins flow to the coin dispensing port 100b, and the coin dispenser is in the exchange state. This embodiment uses a push-pull handle structure 700 to switch between different states of the coin dispenser, thus facilitating the maintenance of the coin dispenser.

[0036] See Figures 1 to 5As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the handle structure 700 includes a pull rod 710 and a mounting base 730. The pull rod 710 is spaced apart from the movable plate 500, and the mounting base 730 is connected to the pull rod 710 and the movable plate 500, so that the pull rod 710 can drive the movable plate 500 through the mounting base 730. It should be noted that the pull rod 710 can be movably connected to the mounting base 730 or fixedly connected to the mounting base 730, as long as the pull rod 710 can drive the movable plate 500 through the mounting base 730. This embodiment is not limited to this, and all of the above are within the protection scope of this utility model. In this embodiment, the mounting base 730 protrudes from the movable plate 500, and the pull rod 710 is located on the surface of the mounting base 730 away from the mounting base 730. In this way, by applying force to the pull rod 710, the effective transmission of the movable plate 500 is achieved, thereby providing convenience for switching between different states of the coin dispenser.

[0037] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the housing 100 includes a first guide plate 110 and a second guide plate 130 spaced apart. The first guide plate 110 is inclinedly disposed on the second guide plate 130 to form a guide port 100a of the housing 100, and the second guide plate 130 is inclinedly disposed on the flow channel 300a. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the guide port 100a is formed by the spaced first guide plate 110 and the second guide plate 130. When applied to a coin dispenser, the game coins flow in through the guide port 100a and are guided by the second guide plate 130 to the flow channel 300a, thereby achieving smooth guidance from the guide port 100a to the flow channel 300a and ensuring the smooth exchange of game coins.

[0038] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the housing 100 has an observation port communicating with its interior. The observation port is located on the movable plate 500, and a movable baffle 101 is inserted into the observation port to open or close it. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the opening or closing of the observation port is achieved through the movement of the movable baffle 101. Of course, the movable baffle 101 can be rotatably connected to the housing 100, slidably connected to the housing 100, or detachably connected to the housing 100. This embodiment is not limited to these limitations, and all of the above are within the protection scope of this utility model. This embodiment allows observation of the interior of the housing 100 through the observation port, thereby understanding the exchange and retention status of the game coins inside, which is beneficial for effective maintenance of the equipment.

[0039] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
