Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to the field of coin sorting technology, and more specifically to an ATM coin sorting mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Currency sorting units are the core components of cash processing equipment. They are mainly used to classify, authenticate, and sort currency in circulation to meet the efficient cash management needs of financial institutions, commercial establishments, and other scenarios.
[0003] Currently, traditional banknote sorting devices can only sort paper money. However, a large number of coins are still circulating in the market. When sorting coins, traditional paper money sorting devices cannot effectively meet the sorting needs, so manual counting is required. This consumes a lot of manpower and can also cause chaos during the sorting process, making it impossible to effectively guarantee the quality and efficiency of sorting.
[0004] Traditional devices often employ a serial structure of "single-channel sequential detection and sorting," which can only sort two types of coins. When processing mixed coins (such as those containing 1 yuan, 5 jiao, and 1 jiao coins), frequent switching of sorting channels is required, causing the processing speed to decrease significantly as the number of coin types increases. For example, processing 1,000 mixed coins takes 20%-30% longer than processing a single type, which cannot meet the needs of high-frequency cash processing scenarios such as banks and public transportation systems.
[0005] A search revealed that Chinese patent application CN202020765561.1 discloses a coin sorting and packaging device; it includes a housing, with support legs fixed at the four corners of the bottom end of the housing, a coin storage box fixed on one side of the inner wall of the top end of the housing, and a box body one fixed on the other side of the inner wall of the top end of the housing. A vibrating plate is provided on the inner wall of the bottom end of the coin storage box, and a vibrating motor is fixed inside the box body one. The output end of the vibrating motor passes through the box body one and the coin storage box and is fixedly connected to the vibrating plate. A spiral slide tube is fixedly provided through one side of the bottom end of the coin storage box, a coin dispensing tube one is fixedly provided through the upper bottom end of the spiral slide tube, a coin dispensing tube two is fixedly provided through the middle bottom end of the spiral slide tube, and a coin dispensing tube three is fixedly provided through the lower bottom end of the spiral slide tube.
[0006] While the structure described in the aforementioned patent can separate various types of coins, in practical applications, placing a large number of coins in the coin inlet tube may cause blockages inside the tube, compromising coin flow. Furthermore, the transmission structure in the patent uses a spiral slide tube to transport coins, meaning that various coins remain mixed during transmission. As they slide inside the spiral slide tube, they may get stuck, causing blockages. Similarly, blockages may occur at the junction of the coin outlet tube and the spiral slide tube, hindering effective and rapid coin sorting. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ATM coin sorting mechanism. In this device, coins entering through a placement tube are effectively distributed via a conveyor belt, thus effectively preventing coin accumulation. A first sorting component and a second sorting component are respectively arranged at the bottom of the conveyor belt, and a first collection component is also arranged on one side of the second sorting component. In this way, coins of different sizes are effectively classified and transported during the sorting process, thereby avoiding the coins remaining in a disordered state during the transport process, and effectively ensuring the quality and efficiency of sorting; thus solving the problems mentioned above in the background art.

A baffle is provided at the end of the conveyor belt to prevent coins from falling to other locations during transmission, thus ensuring sorting efficiency.
[0018] 2. In this utility model, after the coins are separated from the conveyor belt, they fall onto the first sorting rack. Coins smaller than the diameter of the circular groove on the first sorting rack fall into the first collection box, while coins larger than the diameter of the circular groove fall into the second collection box through the first rectangular groove on the first sorting rack. Through the cooperation of the second collection box and the tilting frame, coins with larger diameters are transported through the conveyor pipe into the box for centralized collection.
[0019] 3. In this utility model, coins falling into the first collection box fall through the opening at the bottom of the first collection box onto the second sorting rack. The second sorting rack is shaken by a drive motor, thereby sorting the coins that pass through the circular grooves on the bottom plate of the second sorting rack.

[0031] The bottom of the transmission component 8 is provided with a first sorting component 4; the first sorting component 4 includes a first sorting frame 40; the first sorting frame 40 is inclined; and multiple circular grooves are opened on the bottom plate of the first sorting frame 40; a first rectangular groove 44 is opened at the end of the first sorting frame 40 away from the baffle 6; the bottom of the end of the first sorting frame 40 near the baffle 6 is installed with a drive motor 42 through a rotating shaft.
[0032] The first sorting rack 40 is provided with a first collection box 41 and a second collection box 43 at its bottom; wherein the first collection box 41 corresponds to the circular groove opened on the bottom plate of the first sorting rack 40; and the second collection box 43 corresponds to the first collection component 5.
[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, various coins are placed into the housing 1 through the placement tube 7. The conveyor belt 81 in the conveying component 8 set at the bottom of the placement tube 7 distributes the coins, thereby effectively preventing the coins from piling up during the transmission process. The motor 80 drives the shaft 82 to rotate the conveyor belt 81 at a uniform speed, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the transmission.

The conveyor belt 81 in the conveying component 8 set at the bottom of the placement tube 7 distributes the coins, thereby effectively preventing the coins from piling up during the transmission process. The motor 80 drives the rotating shaft 82 to rotate the conveyor belt 81 at a uniform speed, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the transmission. A baffle 6 is set at the end of the conveyor belt 81 to prevent the coins from falling to other positions during the transmission, thereby ensuring the efficiency of sorting.
[0041] After the coins are separated from the conveyor belt 81, they fall onto the first sorting rack 40. Coins smaller than the diameter of the circular groove on the first sorting rack 40 fall into the first collection box 41, while coins larger than the diameter of the circular groove fall into the second collection box 43 through the first rectangular groove 44 on the first sorting rack 40.
