Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coin pusher technology, and specifically to a coin pusher. Background Technology

[0002] Coin pusher machines are a type of recreational equipment widely used in entertainment venues and homes. Traditional coin pusher machines use a joystick operated by the player to push a coin to a specific area to earn rewards or points. However, these machines have some shortcomings in coin management and recycling, resulting in a poor gaming experience and low equipment efficiency. Existing recycling systems are often simply designed and cannot efficiently collect and redistribute coins, leading to a slow coin circulation rate. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a coin pusher that can achieve efficient circulation and redistribution of game coins, thereby enhancing the fun and smoothness of the game.

[0004] A coin pusher includes a chassis with at least one coin-accepting device and at least one coin-pushing device. The coin-accepting device includes an operating platform and a coin-accepting platform. The coin-pushing device includes a coin-pushing platform, a coin-pushing mechanism, a first circulation mechanism, and a second circulation mechanism. The coin-pushing mechanism is installed on the coin-pushing platform. A first coin drop port is provided between the coin-pushing platform and the coin-accepting platform, through which game coins can fall to the first circulation mechanism. The coin-pushing platform has two second coin drop ports, through which game coins can fall to the second circulation mechanism. The first circulation mechanism is connected to the second circulation mechanism, and the second circulation mechanism is connected to a coin-dispensing head located above the coin-pushing platform.

[0005] In the above scheme, players insert coins into the coin-operated platform and operate the platform. The coins then enter the coin-pushing device and fall onto the coin-pushing platform. The coin-pushing mechanism activates to push the coins. As the coins are pushed, some are pushed out through the first coin drop slot between the coin-operated and coin-pushing platforms, landing on the coin-operated platform and belonging to the player. Some coins fall directly from the first coin drop slot, and some fall from the second coin drop slot. The coins falling from the first coin drop slot reach the first circulation mechanism. Since the first and second circulation mechanisms are connected, the coins in the first circulation mechanism will also reach the second circulation mechanism along with the coins falling from the second coin drop slot. This design achieves efficient recycling and redistribution of game coins, reducing the accumulation and waste of game coins. When the reward mechanism is triggered, the game coins in the second circulation mechanism will fall onto the coin-pushing platform through the coin dispenser, thereby increasing the player's chances of obtaining game coins and enhancing the game's fun and appeal.

[0006] Furthermore, the coin-pushing mechanism includes a driving component, a sliding component, and a pusher plate component. The driving component is connected to the pusher plate component, and the pusher plate component is slidably connected to the sliding component.

[0007] In the above scheme, the drive component ensures the accurate transmission of driving force, enabling the pusher component to push the game coin smoothly and accurately, reducing the deviation and jamming of the game coin during the pushing process. The pusher component and the sliding component are slidably connected, ensuring the stability and straightness of the pusher component during the movement, avoiding the shaking and deviation of the pusher component, and improving the pushing accuracy.

[0008] Furthermore, the coin-pushing platform is provided with two sets of limiting components, which are located on both sides of the push plate assembly. Each limiting component includes a limiting plate and a cover plate. The cover plate is connected to the top of the limiting plate and covers the second coin drop opening. The limiting plate is provided with a hidden coin outlet.

[0009] In the above scheme, the limiting plate is located on both sides of the push plate assembly, which can effectively guide the movement direction of the game coins and prevent the game coins from deviating from the predetermined path. The hidden coin outlet is located on the limiting plate. When the game coins are pushed, some of the game coins will pass through the hidden coin outlet to reach the second coin drop outlet, making the outflow of game coins more concealed and controllable, and preventing players from directly seeing the outflow path of the game coins.

[0010] Furthermore, a first baffle is provided above the hidden coin outlet, and the first baffle is connected to the limiting plate.

[0011] In the above scheme, the first baffle is used to cover and hide the coin outlet, making the outflow of game coins more discreet.

[0012] Furthermore, mounting seats are provided at both ends of the first coin drop opening, and a second baffle is attached to the two mounting seats.

[0013] In the above scheme, the second baffle blocks the first coin drop opening to prevent players from seeing the game coins falling from the first coin drop opening.

[0014] Furthermore, the first circulation mechanism includes a feeding box, a first storage box, a first rotating base, a first rotating coin pusher assembly, a first guide rail, and a first coin dispensing assembly. The feeding box is located below the first coin drop opening. The first storage box is mounted on the first rotating base. The first rotating base is mounted adjacent to the first rotating coin pusher assembly on a first base. One end of the first guide rail is connected to the first base and is adjacent to the first rotating coin pusher assembly. The other end of the first guide rail is connected to the first coin dispensing assembly.

[0015] In the above scheme, the game coins falling from the first coin drop slot enter the feeding box, pass through the feeding box to the first storage box, the first rotating base receives the game coins falling from the first storage box, rotates the game coins to the position of the first rotating coin pusher component, guides the game coins to the first guide rail through the first rotating coin pusher component, and quickly transports them to the first coin dispensing component through the first guide rail, ensuring that the game coins can enter the recycling box efficiently, thereby improving the overall recycling efficiency. The design of the first guide rail can ensure that the game coins always move along the predetermined trajectory during the recycling process.

[0016] Furthermore, the second circulation mechanism includes a recycling bin, a second storage box, a second rotating base, a second rotating coin pusher assembly, a second guide rail, a second coin dispensing assembly, and a coin dispensing channel. The recycling bin is installed at the lower part of the coin pusher platform and located below the second coin drop opening. The second storage box is covered on the second rotating base. The second rotating base is installed adjacent to the second rotating coin pusher assembly on a second base. One end of the second guide rail is connected to the second base and adjacent to the second rotating coin pusher assembly. The other end of the second guide rail is connected to the second coin dispensing assembly. One end of the coin dispensing channel is connected to the second coin dispensing assembly, and the other end is connected to the coin dispensing head.

[0017] In the above scheme, game coins falling from the second coin drop slot enter the recycling bin, then pass through the recycling bin to the second storage box. The second rotating base receives the game coins falling from the second storage box, thus guiding the game coins to a position that the second rotating coin pusher component can push. The second coin pusher component pushes the game coins to the second guide rail, and then transports them to the second coin dispensing component. The game coins then fall into the coin dispensing channel through the second coin dispensing component, and finally fall onto the coin pusher platform through the coin dispensing head. This ensures a continuous supply of game coins, avoids machine shutdown due to insufficient game coins, and improves the operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0018] Furthermore, one end of the recycling bin is provided with a connection opening, and the first coin dispensing component is connected to the connection opening.

[0019] In the above scheme, the first coin dispensing component is connected to the connecting opening to connect the first circulation mechanism and the recycling box, so that the game coins recycled by the first circulation mechanism can be concentrated in the second circulation mechanism.

[0020] This utility model discloses a coin pusher that achieves efficient recycling and redistribution of game coins, enhancing the fun and smoothness of the game. Players insert coins into the coin-operated platform and operate the platform. The coins then enter the coin pusher and fall onto the platform. The pusher mechanism initiates the push, and as the coins are pushed, some are ejected through the first coin drop slot between the coin-operated and pusher platforms, landing on the coin-operated platform and belonging to the player. Others fall directly through the first coin drop slot, and still others fall through the second coin drop slot. The coins falling through the first coin drop slot reach the first recycling mechanism. Since the first and second recycling mechanisms are connected, the coins from the first recycling mechanism also reach the second recycling mechanism along with the coins from the second coin drop slot. This design achieves efficient recycling and redistribution of game coins, reducing accumulation and waste. When the reward mechanism is triggered, the coins in the second recycling mechanism fall onto the pusher platform through the coin dispenser, increasing the player's chances of acquiring more game coins.

[0030] The present invention provides a coin pusher in further detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in a preferred embodiment, a coin pusher of the present invention includes a chassis 1, on which at least one set of coin-accepting devices 2 and at least one set of coin-pushing devices 3 are provided. The coin-accepting devices 2 include an operating platform 21 and a coin-accepting platform 22. The coin-pushing devices 3 include a coin-pushing platform 31, a coin-pushing mechanism 32, a first circulation mechanism 33, and a second circulation mechanism 34. The coin-pushing mechanism 32 is installed on the coin-pushing platform 31. A first coin drop port 4 is provided between the coin-pushing platform 31 and the coin-accepting platform 22. Game coins can fall through the first coin drop port 4 to the first circulation mechanism 33. The coin-pushing platform 31 is provided with two second coin drop ports 5. Game coins can fall through the second coin drop ports 5 to the second circulation mechanism 34. The first circulation mechanism 33 and the second circulation mechanism 34 are connected. The second circulation mechanism 34 is connected to a coin outlet 6, which is located above the coin-pushing platform 31.

[0032] Players insert coins into coin-operated platform 22 and operate it via operating platform 21. The coins then enter coin-pushing device 3 and fall onto coin-pushing platform 31. Coin-pushing mechanism 32 activates to push the coins. As the coins are pushed, some are pushed out through the first coin drop slot 4 between coin-operated platform 22 and coin-pushing platform 31, landing on coin-operated platform 22 and belonging to the player. Some coins fall directly from the first coin drop slot 4, and some fall from the second coin drop slot 5. The coins falling from the first coin drop slot 4 reach the first circulation mechanism 33. Since the first circulation mechanism 33 is connected to the second circulation mechanism 34, the coins in the first circulation mechanism 33 will also reach the second circulation mechanism 34 along with the coins falling from the second coin drop slot 5. This design achieves efficient recycling and redistribution of game coins, reducing accumulation and waste. When the reward mechanism is triggered, the game coins in the second circulation mechanism 34 will fall onto coin-pushing platform 31 through coin dispenser 6, thereby increasing the player's chances of obtaining game coins and enhancing the game's fun and appeal.

[0033] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the coin-pushing mechanism 32 includes a driving component 321, a sliding component 322, and a pusher plate component 323. The driving component 321 is connected to the pusher plate component 323, and the pusher plate component 323 is slidably connected to the sliding component 322. The driving component 321 ensures the accurate transmission of driving force, enabling the pusher plate component 323 to push the coin smoothly and precisely, reducing the deviation and jamming of the coin during the coin-pushing process. The slidable connection between the pusher plate component 323 and the sliding component 322 ensures the stability and straightness of the pusher plate component 323 during movement, avoiding wobbling and deviation of the pusher plate component 323, and improving the pushing accuracy.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the coin-pushing platform 31 is provided with two sets of limiting components 7, which are located on both sides of the push plate assembly 323. Each limiting component 7 includes a limiting plate 72 and a cover plate 71. The cover plate 71 is connected to the top of the limiting plate 72 and covers the second coin drop opening 5. The limiting plate 72 is provided with a hidden coin outlet 8. The limiting plate 72 is located on both sides of the push plate assembly 323, which can effectively guide the movement direction of the game coins and prevent the game coins from deviating from the predetermined path. The hidden coin outlet 8 is located on the limiting plate 72. When the game coins are pushed, a portion of the game coins will pass through the hidden coin outlet 8 to reach the second coin drop opening 5, making the outflow of game coins more concealed and controllable, and preventing players from directly seeing the outflow path of the game coins.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a first baffle 9 is provided above the hidden coin outlet 8, and the first baffle 9 is connected to the limiting plate 72. The first baffle 9 is used to cover the hidden coin outlet 8, making the outflow of game coins more concealed.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, mounting bases 10 are provided at both ends of the first coin drop slot 4, and a second baffle 11 is attached to the two mounting bases 10. The second baffle 11 blocks the first coin drop slot 4 to prevent the player from seeing the game coins falling from the first coin drop slot 4.

[0037] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the first circulation mechanism 33 includes a feeding box 331, a first storage box 321, a first rotating base 333, a first rotating coin pusher assembly 334, a first guide rail 335, and a first coin dispensing assembly 336. The feeding box 331 is located below the first coin drop opening 4. The first storage box 321 is covered on the first rotating base 333. The first rotating base 333 and the first rotating coin pusher assembly 334 are mounted adjacent to each other on the first base 337. One end of the first guide rail 335 is connected to the first base 337 and is adjacent to the first rotating coin pusher assembly 334. The other end of the first guide rail 335 is connected to the first coin dispensing assembly 336. The game coins falling from the first coin dropper 4 enter the feeding box 331, and then reach the first storage box 321. The first rotating base 333 receives the game coins falling from the first storage box 321 and rotates the game coins to the position of the first rotating coin pusher 334. The first rotating coin pusher 334 guides the game coins to the first guide rail 335, and then quickly transports them to the first coin dispensing component 336 through the first guide rail 335. This ensures that the game coins can enter the recycling box 341 efficiently, thereby improving the overall recycling efficiency. The design of the first guide rail 335 ensures that the game coins always move along the predetermined trajectory during the recycling process.

[0038] like Figures 5 to 8As shown, in some embodiments, the second circulation mechanism 34 includes a recycling box 341, a second storage box, a second rotating base, a second rotating coin pusher assembly 343, a second guide rail 344, a second coin dispensing assembly, and a coin dispensing channel 345. The recycling box 341 is installed at the lower part of the coin pusher platform 31 and is located below the second coin drop port 5. The second storage box is covered on the second rotating base. The second rotating base is installed adjacent to the second rotating coin pusher assembly 343 on the second base 342. One end of the second guide rail 344 is connected to the second base 342 and is adjacent to the second rotating coin pusher assembly 343. The other end of the second guide rail 344 is connected to the second coin dispensing assembly. One end of the coin dispensing channel 345 is connected to the second coin dispensing assembly, and the other end is connected to the coin dispensing head 6. Game coins falling from the second coin dropper 5 enter the recycling bin 341, then pass through the recycling bin 341 to the second storage box. The second rotating base receives the game coins falling from the second storage box, guiding them to a position that the second rotating coin pusher component 343 can push. The second coin pusher component pushes the game coins to the second guide rail 344, and then to the second coin dispensing component. The game coins then fall into the coin dispensing channel 345 through the second coin dispensing component, and finally fall onto the coin pusher platform 31 through the coin dispensing head 6. This ensures a continuous supply of game coins, avoids machine shutdown due to insufficient game coins, and improves the operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the recycling bin 341 is provided with a connection opening 12, and the first coin dispensing component 336 is connected to the connection opening 12. The connection between the first coin dispensing component 336 and the connection opening 12 realizes the connection between the first circulation mechanism 33 and the recycling bin 341, so that the game coins collected by the first circulation mechanism 33 can be concentrated in the second circulation mechanism 34.

[0040] This utility model discloses the working principle and process of a coin pusher. A player inserts a coin into the coin-operated platform 22 and operates it via the operating platform 21. The coin then enters the coin pusher 3 and falls onto the coin pusher platform 31. The coin pusher mechanism 32 initiates the push of the coin. As the coin is pushed, some coins are pushed out through the first coin drop opening 4 between the coin-operated platform 22 and the coin pusher platform 31, landing on the coin-operated platform 22 and belonging to the player. Some coins fall directly from the first coin drop opening 4, and others fall from the second coin drop opening 5. The coins falling from the first coin drop opening 4 reach the first circulation mechanism 33. Since the first circulation mechanism 33 is connected to the second circulation mechanism 34, the coins from the first circulation mechanism 33 will arrive at the second circulation mechanism 34 together with the coins falling from the second coin drop opening 5. When the reward mechanism is triggered, the coins in the second circulation mechanism 34 will fall onto the coin pusher platform 31 through the coin outlet 6.
