Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coin sorting machine technology, specifically a multi-channel coin sorting machine capable of recognizing coins. Background Technology
[0002] A coin sorting machine is a device used to quickly and accurately classify and count coins. It is widely used in places with high coin usage, such as banks, supermarkets, and bus companies. Sorting machines typically employ a combination of identification technologies to distinguish the authenticity and face value of coins. Common identification technologies include electromagnetic induction technology, which determines the material and authenticity of coins by detecting their electromagnetic properties in a magnetic field.
[0003] Existing coin sorting machines that can identify coins still have the following problems when in use: they usually adopt a single-channel structure design, resulting in low overall sorting efficiency. That is, a single-channel sorting machine can only process one denomination of coins at a time, and it takes a long time to complete the sorting of all denominations of coins. In addition, for some coins that are severely worn, have a lot of surface stains, or have special markings, the sorting machine may misjudge or fail to identify them. Utility Model Content

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5In this embodiment of the utility model, the multi-channel coin sorting machine includes a sorting mechanism 3. A housing mechanism 1 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sorting mechanism 3, and a collecting mechanism 2 is fixedly installed inside the housing mechanism 1. The housing mechanism 1 includes a housing 11, with a groove 12 at the front end. Three horizontally spaced mounting slots 13 are formed on the top wall of the groove 12. The sorting mechanism 3 includes a base 31 fixedly installed at the openings of the three mounting slots 13 at the top of the housing 11. A main body 34 of the sorting machine is fixedly connected to the top of the base 31. A coin slot 36 is located at the center of the top of the main body 34, and the three coin slots 36 are for 1 yuan, 5 jiao, 1 jiao, and 5 fen coins, respectively. The machine adopts a multi-channel structure design, including multiple independent sorting components, which can simultaneously sort coins of different denominations. Coins of different denominations can be processed in parallel in their respective channels, i.e., 1 yuan, 5 jiao, 1 jiao, and 5 fen coins can be sorted. The coins are fed into different channels, and multiple denominations of coins can be sorted in one operation. Compared with single-channel sorting machines, the sorting speed is significantly improved, greatly increasing sorting efficiency.
[0025] The main body 34 of the sorting machine has a detection slot that matches the coin slot 36, and a camera module 35 is fixedly installed at each end of the detection slot. The base 31 has a through slot that matches the detection slot, and an electromagnetic sensor 33 is fixedly installed at each end of the through slot. The whole machine adopts an optimized dual-level recognition structure design. Each sorting component is equipped with two recognition mechanisms, namely a high-precision electromagnetic sensor 33 set below the sorting component and a high-resolution camera module 35 set above the sorting component, which improves the accuracy of coin feature acquisition and thus improves the ability to recognize special coins.
[0026] The top of the housing 11 and at the four corners of each mounting slot 13 are provided with threaded holes 15, and each threaded hole 15 is threaded with a screw 16. The top front and rear sides of the base 31 are provided with mating holes 32 for the screw 16 to be assembled.

The entire sorting machine can be fixedly installed by using the mounting base 17 in conjunction with the mounting components. The whole adopts a multi-channel structure design, which includes multiple independent sorting components. It can sort coins of different denominations at the same time. Coins of different denominations can be processed in parallel in their respective channels. That is, 1 yuan, 5 jiao, 1 jiao and 5 fen coins can be sent into different channels respectively. Each sorting component is equipped with two identification mechanisms, namely a high-precision electromagnetic sensor 33 set below the sorting component and a high-resolution camera module 35 set above the sorting component, which improves the accuracy of coin feature acquisition and thus improves the ability to identify special coins. Multiple denomination coins can be sorted in one operation. The area in the collection chamber 21 divided by the partition plate 25 matches the three mounting slots 13 above, which can collect 1 yuan, 5 jiao, 1 jiao and 5 fen coins respectively.
