Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vending machine equipment technology, specifically a positioning mechanism for a commemorative coin vending machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of commemorative coin vending machines, a precise positioning mechanism is crucial to ensuring that the printer accurately prints the design on the commemorative coin. However, existing commemorative coin positioning mechanisms have some technical issues that affect print quality and user experience.

[0003] Traditional commemorative coin vending machines typically use positioning mechanisms that only provide simple fixation of the coins, lacking multi-faceted positioning capabilities. This makes the coins prone to shifting or tilting during the printing process. This unstable positioning method not only affects the accuracy of the printed pattern but can also lead to printing failures or damage to the commemorative coins.

[0004] In addition, existing positioning mechanisms often use rigid structures when in contact with commemorative coins, which can easily leave scratches on the surface of the coins, affecting their appearance and collectible value. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a positioning mechanism that can achieve multi-faceted stable positioning, protect the surface of commemorative coins, and has a compact structure, so as to improve the printing quality of commemorative coin vending machines.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A positioning mechanism for a commemorative coin vending machine, comprising a body, characterized in that a limiting plate is fixedly installed on the body, an elastic component is fixedly installed on one side of the limiting plate, a movable horizontal push plate is installed on the body, an elastic component is fixedly installed on the horizontal push plate, and a movable component is installed within the body. The movable component drives the horizontal push plate and the elastic component on one side to push the commemorative coin to one side of the limiting plate. The commemorative coin is pressed against one side of the limiting plate by the elastic component, two adjacent faces of the commemorative coin abut against the limiting plate, and the other two adjacent faces of the commemorative coin elastically abut against the elastic component, so that the commemorative coin is stably positioned within the enclosed area formed by the limiting plate and the elastic component.

[0007] In a further technical solution, the side of the limiting plate is provided with an inclined surface.

[0008] In a further technical solution, a protrusion is provided on one side of the limiting plate.

[0009] In a further technical solution, a slide rail is fixedly installed on the machine body, and the horizontal push plate and elastic component push the commemorative coin on the slide rail.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the elastic component includes a limiting block, and a spring sheet is fixedly provided on the side of the limiting block.

[0011] In a further technical solution, when the elastic component elastically presses the commemorative coin against one side of the limiting plate, the spring sheet elastically abuts against the two adjacent surfaces of the commemorative coin.

[0012] In a further technical solution, the spring sheet is in the shape of a central arc, and plate-shaped connecting parts are provided on both sides of the arc.

[0013] A further technical solution includes a moving component comprising a first guide rail fixedly disposed within the body of the machine, a first slider slidably disposed on the first guide rail, the first slider being fixedly connected to the horizontal push plate, and a synchronous belt structure disposed on the body to drive the first slider to move.

[0014] A further technical solution includes a synchronous belt structure comprising a driven pulley and a driving pulley rotatably mounted on the top of the machine body. A synchronous belt is wound around the outer surfaces of the driven pulley and the driving pulley, and the synchronous belt provides a power connection between the driven pulley and the driving pulley. The synchronous belt is fixedly connected to the first slider. A motor is mounted on the top of the machine body and is power-connected to the driving pulley.

[0015] In a further technical solution, a timing belt pressure plate is provided on one side of the first slider, and the timing belt pressure plate presses and fixes the timing belt to one side of the first slider.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: First, by installing an elastic component on one side of the limiting plate and another elastic component on the side of the horizontal push plate, when the horizontal push plate, the limiting block, and the spring sheet push the commemorative coin to one side of the limiting plate, the limiting block and the spring sheet on one side of the limiting plate are squeezed, so that two sides of the commemorative coin are elastically squeezed by the spring sheet, and the other two sides of the commemorative coin are tightly pressed against the limiting plate. This makes the commemorative coin firmly positioned in the enclosed area formed by the limiting plate and the elastic component, so that the printer of the vending machine can accurately print the pattern on the commemorative coin, thus solving the technical problem of unstable commemorative coin positioning mechanism in existing commemorative coin vending machines.

[0017] Second, the design of the spring sheet gives it good elasticity, and the arc-shaped structure provides better cushioning when it fits against the commemorative coin, preventing scratches on the side of the commemorative coin. Attached Figure Description

[0027] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model will be described in detail. For ease of description, the directions mentioned below are defined as follows: the directions of up, down, left, right, front, and back mentioned below are the same as... Figure 1 The positioning mechanism of this utility model for an automatic commemorative coin vending machine, which has consistent vertical, horizontal, front-back, and vertical projection relationships, includes a body 13. A limiting plate 14 is fixedly installed on the body 13, and an elastic component is fixedly installed on one side of the limiting plate 14. A movable horizontal push plate 11 is installed on the body 13, and an elastic component is fixedly installed on the horizontal push plate 11. A movable component is installed in the body 13. The commemorative coin is pressed against one side of the limiting plate 14 by the elastic component. The movable component drives the horizontal push plate 11 and the elastic component on one side to push the commemorative coin to one side of the limiting plate 14. Two adjacent faces of the commemorative coin abut against the inner right-angled face of the limiting plate 14, and the other two adjacent faces of the commemorative coin elastically abut against the elastic component, so that the commemorative coin is stably positioned in the area enclosed by the limiting plate 14 and the elastic component.

[0028] Advantageously, the limiting plate 14 has a slope 24 on its side, which facilitates contact and guidance with the commemorative coin, allowing the commemorative coin to slide smoothly to one side of the limiting plate 14.

[0029] Advantageously, the inner right-angled surface of the limiting plate 14, which is the position of the inclined surface 24, is set there.

[0030] Advantageously, a protrusion 29 is provided on one side of the limiting plate 14.

[0031] Advantageously, a slide 12 is fixedly installed on the body 13, and a horizontal push plate 11 and an elastic component push the commemorative coin on the slide 12.

[0033] Advantageously, the limiting block 15 in the elastic component located on one side of the limiting plate 14 is fixedly disposed on one side of the limiting plate 14.

[0034] Advantageously, the limiting block 15 in the elastic component located on the push plate 11 is fixedly disposed on the lower side of the push plate 11.

[0035] Advantageously, when the elastic component elastically presses the commemorative coin against one side of the limiting plate 14, the spring sheet 22 elastically abuts against the other two adjacent surfaces of the commemorative coin.

[0036] Advantageously, the spring sheet 22 is in the shape of a central arc, and plate-shaped connecting parts are provided on both sides of the arc. The spring sheet 22 is connected and fixed to the limiting block 15 through the straight plate part. The connection and fixing method can be fastener fixing.

[0037] Advantageously, the moving component includes a first guide rail 26 fixedly disposed within the body 13, a first slider 33 slidably disposed on the first guide rail 26, the first slider 33 being fixedly connected to the horizontal push plate 11, and a synchronous belt structure for driving the first slider 33 to move on the body 13.

[0038] Advantageously, the synchronous belt structure includes a driven pulley 28 and a driving pulley 31 rotatably disposed on the top of the machine body 13. A synchronous belt 27 is wound around the outer surface of the driven pulley 28 and the driving pulley 31. The synchronous belt 27 is poweredly connected to the driven pulley 28 and the driving pulley 31. The synchronous belt 27 is fixedly connected to the first slider 33. A motor 32 is disposed on the top of the machine body 13. The motor 32 is poweredly connected to the driving pulley 31.

[0039] Advantageously, a timing belt pressure plate 34 is provided on one side of the first slider 33. The timing belt pressure plate 34 presses and fixes the timing belt 27 to one side of the first slider 33, so that the first slider 33 and the timing belt 27 move synchronously. The timing belt pressure plate 34 is fixedly connected to the first slider 33 by fasteners.

[0040] Advantageously, the body 13 is provided with a falling cavity 41, and a movable baffle 16 is slidably provided in the falling cavity 41. The movable baffle 16 is located on the lower side of the limiting plate 14 and is used to support the commemorative coin. The body 13 is provided with a pushing component to push the movable baffle 16.

[0041] Advantageously, the pushing component includes an electric push rod 19 disposed on the top of the body 13, and a telescopic rod 21 is disposed inside the electric push rod 19. The telescopic rod 21 is connected to the movable baffle 16. A guide rail structure is provided between the movable baffle 16 and the body 13 to guide the movable baffle 16 to slide.

[0042] Advantageously, the guide rail structure includes a second guide rail 18 fixedly mounted on the body 13, a second slider 17 slidably mounted on the second guide rail 18, and the second slider 17 being fixedly connected to the movable baffle 16.

[0043] Advantageously, the electric push rod 19 is hinged to the top of the body 13, and the telescopic rod 21 is hinged to the movable baffle 16.

[0044] This positioning mechanism is used in commemorative coin vending machines. It is used to receive commemorative coins pushed out by the feeding module. When the commemorative coin is on the slide 12, the horizontal push plate 11, the limiting block 15, and the spring plate 22 move and push the commemorative coin to one side of the limiting plate 14, and stop it against the limiting plate 14. The limiting block 15 and the spring plate 22 on one side of the limiting plate 14 also stop the commemorative coin. Compared with the existing technology, the four-sided positioning can effectively improve the positioning stability of the commemorative coin. And because the spring plate 22 is elastic, it can make the commemorative coin be elastically pressed and prevent it from being skewed, so that the digital printer can accurately print the pattern on the commemorative coin.

[0045] When the commemorative coin is placed on the slide 12, the motor 32 drives the drive pulley 31 to rotate. Since the synchronous belt 27 is connected to the drive pulley 28 and the drive pulley 31, after the synchronous belt 27 is fixedly connected to the first slider 33 through the synchronous belt pressure plate 34, the first slider 33 can slide along the first guide rail 26. The horizontal push plate 11, the limiting block 15 and the spring plate 22 on the upper side of the first slider 33 push the commemorative coin along the slide 12 to the side of the limiting plate 14 and elastically abut against it. When the commemorative coin passes the limiting block 15 and the spring plate 22 on the side of the limiting plate 14, the spring plate 22 is elastically squeezed and deformed, so that the commemorative coin is elastically abutted against the side of the limiting plate 14.

[0046] After the commemorative coin is printed with a pattern in the external space, the electric push rod 19 drives the telescopic rod 21, the moving baffle 16, and the second slider 17 to retract, causing the moving baffle 16 to be pulled out of the falling cavity 41, and the commemorative coin to fall into the falling cavity 41 due to gravity.

[0047] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without creative effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model; therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
