Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of coin acceptors, and in particular to self-service coin acceptors. Background Technology

[0002] The coin acceptor of a washer-extractor is a mechanism used to control the start-up of the equipment and to charge fees. It is used in public places such as shopping malls, streets, and schools to insert coins into a coin acceptor with a set amount. It will automatically recognize the coin, start the equipment and charge fees, so as to achieve the user's desired purpose.

[0003] Currently, self-service coin acceptors lack sealing and dustproof devices at the coin inlet and outlet. This allows dust and moisture to enter the device during use, and dust accumulates inside, forming a thick layer. This can lead to malfunctions of electrical components and reduce the lifespan of the self-service coin acceptor. Therefore, the protective features of existing self-service coin acceptors can be further improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] To further improve the security of existing self-service coin acceptors during use, this application provides a self-service coin acceptor.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] This application discloses a self-service coin acceptor.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-3 A self-service coin acceptor includes a body 1 and a coin acceptor body 2 disposed on the body 1. The coin acceptor body 2 is provided with a coin slot 3 and a coin outlet 4. A first housing 5 and a second housing 6 are slidably mounted on one side of the coin acceptor body 2 for sealing purposes. The first housing 5 and the second housing 6 are located on the side corresponding to the coin slot 3 and the coin outlet 4. A drive mechanism is disposed on one side of the coin acceptor body 2 for synchronous movement of the first housing 5 and the second housing 6. A cleaning mechanism is disposed within the first housing 5 and the second housing 6. A positioning mechanism is disposed on the cleaning mechanism.

[0033] The drive mechanism includes a rack plate 13 fixedly installed at the bottom of the first housing 5, a gear 14 rotatably installed on one side of the coin acceptor body 2 that meshes with the rack plate 13, a synchronizing column 15 fixedly installed at one end of the gear 14, a worm gear 16 fixedly installed at one end of the synchronizing column 15, a worm 17 adapted to the worm gear 16 on one side, a knob 18 fixedly installed at one end of the worm gear 17, and the same synchronizing frame 11 fixedly installed on one side of the first housing 5 and the second housing 6.

[0034] The drive mechanism also includes a mounting box 7 fixedly installed on one side of the coin acceptor body 2. The mounting box 7 has corresponding openings 8 on both sides. The openings 8 facilitate the movement of the rack plate 13 and prevent motion interference. The side of the mounting box 7 closest to the coin acceptor body 2 is open. A protective box 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting box 7. A cover 10 is hinged to the protective box 9. The protective box 9 encloses the knob 18. A support plate 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the coin acceptor body 2. One end of the worm gear 17 is rotatably installed on one side of the support plate 19.

[0035] In use, by rotating knob 18, the worm gear 17 rotates, which in turn drives the turbine 16 and the synchronizing column 15 to rotate. The synchronizing column 15 then drives the gear 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the rack plate 13 and the first housing 5 to move. The movement of the first housing 5, in turn, drives the second housing 6 to move via the synchronizing frame 11. This allows the coin slot 3 and the coin outlet 4 to be exposed for use. When not in use, the coin slot 3 and the coin outlet 4 can be sealed to reduce the entry of dust or moisture, and to improve the protection and service life of the coin acceptor body 2.

[0036] Reference Figure 4-6 The cleaning mechanism includes a first cleaning cotton 22 disposed inside the first housing 5, the first cleaning cotton 22 being attached to the coin slot 3, and a first rectangular opening 23 being provided on the first cleaning cotton 22. The second housing 6 is provided with a second cleaning cotton 24, the second cleaning cotton 24 being attached to the coin outlet 4, and a second rectangular opening 25 being provided on the second cleaning cotton 24.

[0037] When in use, as the first housing 5 and the second housing 6 move, the corresponding first cleaning cotton 22 and second cleaning cotton 24 inside will also move, and can absorb and clean the dust that appears when the coin slot 3 and the coin outlet 4 are opened, thereby improving the cleaning effect and further preventing dust from entering the coin acceptor body 2.

[0038] Reference Figure 5-6 The positioning mechanism includes corresponding positioning frames 20 adapted to the first housing 5 and the second housing 6. Each positioning frame 20 is screwed with a corresponding fixing bolt 21. Both positioning frames 20 are located above the first cleaning cotton 22 and the second cleaning cotton 24. The tops of the first housing 5 and the second housing 6 are open. The second cleaning cotton 24 and the second housing 6 are provided with the same opening 12 on one side.

[0039] In use, by rotating the fixing bolt 21, the fixing bolt 21 will rotate and release the fixing of the positioning frame 20. At this time, the first cleaning cotton 22 or the second cleaning cotton 24 can be disassembled, replaced or maintained and cleaned, thus improving the convenience and flexibility of later use.

[0040] The implementation principle of the self-service coin acceptor in this embodiment is as follows: When in use, first pull the cover 10 and open it. At this time, the knob 18 can be rotated. Rotating the knob 18 will drive the worm gear 17 to rotate. Rotating the worm gear 17 will drive the turbine 16 and the synchronizing column 15 to rotate. Rotating the synchronizing column 15 will drive the gear 14 to rotate. Rotating the gear 14 will drive the rack plate 13 and the first housing 5 to move. Moving the first housing 5 will drive the second housing 6 to move along with it through the synchronizing frame 11. This allows the coin slot 3 and the coin outlet 4 to be exposed for use. When not in use, the coin slot 3 and the coin outlet 4 can be sealed at the same time to reduce the entry of dust or moisture and improve the protection and service life of the coin acceptor body 2 during use.

[0041] As the first housing 5 and the second housing 6 move, the corresponding first cleaning cotton 22 and second cleaning cotton 24 inside will also move, and can absorb and clean the dust that appears when the coin slot 3 and the coin outlet 4 are opened, thereby improving the cleaning effect and further preventing dust from entering the coin acceptor body 2.

[0042] By rotating the fixing bolt 21, the fixing bolt 21 will rotate and release the fixing of the positioning frame 20. At this time, the first cleaning cotton 22 or the second cleaning cotton 24 can be disassembled, replaced or maintained and cleaned, thus improving the convenience and flexibility of later use.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
