Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coin sorting machine technology, and in particular to a coin kicking and conveying structure for a high-speed coin sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A coin sorting machine is an automated financial device with multiple functions, including counterfeit detection, sorting, counting, classification, and even packaging. This equipment is mainly used in bank cash centers, large commercial retail outlets, public transportation systems (such as subways and bus companies), and self-service outlets to handle large quantities of mixed coins, thereby improving the efficiency of coin processing in circulation.

[0003] However, in existing coin sorting machines, coins that cannot be identified, are abnormal, or do not meet the acceptance standards require the sorting mechanism to change their path after identification. Due to insufficient coordination between components, unidentifiable, abnormal, or non-compliant coins may have insufficient starting force and poor connection when entering the coin kicking conveyor channel, resulting in reduced conveying speed, easy stagnation at the entrance, affecting the passage of subsequent coins, increasing the risk of stacking, and reducing sorting efficiency and stability.

[0004] Therefore, the aforementioned technical issues need to be resolved. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a coin kicking and conveying structure for a high-speed coin sorting machine, which solves the problem that the existing coin sorting machine cannot identify coins that are abnormal or do not meet the acceptance standards when sorting coins.

[0006] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a coin-kicking conveyor structure for a high-speed coin sorting machine, comprising a coin-feeding plate disposed on a main panel, with guide rails and belts respectively disposed on both sides for coin feeding; a coin-feeding slot is disposed on the coin-feeding plate, and multiple sets of detection components are disposed in the coin feeding direction of the coin-feeding slot for detecting coins; a driving mechanism is disposed at the bottom of the coin-feeding plate, and the driving rod of the driving mechanism passes through the coin-kicking slot, the top end of the driving rod being flush with the coin-feeding plate in the horizontal direction when not driven; a coin-kicking guide plate is disposed on the side of the coin-kicking slot, and the bottom of the coin-kicking guide plate is connected to the coin-kicking compartment.

[0007] To achieve the above technical solution, coin detection and identification can be performed by setting coin inlet slots and multiple detection components on the coin feeding plate. A liftable drive mechanism and a laterally connected coin ejection guide plate are configured at the coin ejection slot. When an abnormal coin is detected, the drive rod quickly moves upward, pushing the abnormal coin into the coin ejection slot and guiding it through the coin ejection guide plate, allowing it to smoothly enter the coin ejection compartment. This structure optimizes the transmission connection of coin ejection sorting, improves the response speed and power transmission efficiency, and avoids the retention and stacking of abnormal coins at the feeding inlet.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the detection component includes a detection head, which is disposed through the coin feeding plate and is flush with the coin feeding plate in the horizontal direction.

[0009] The above technical solution ensures that the structure allows coins to pass smoothly through the detection area during transport, avoiding problems such as coin jamming or trajectory deviation caused by protrusions or depressions in the detection head. This improves the accuracy and response speed of the coin ejection process without affecting the smoothness of coin transport.

[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, the coin ejection slot includes a first cut edge portion, a second cut edge portion, a third cut edge portion, and a fourth cut edge portion; one side of the coin ejection slot is the first cut edge portion, and the second cut edge portion is provided on the side of the first cut edge portion near the guide rail. The second cut edge portion is arc-shaped and bent towards the coin ejection guide plate; the third cut edge portion is vertically provided on the horizontal plane on the side of the first cut edge portion near the belt; the fourth cut edge portion transitions to the third cut edge portion and forms a closure with the tail of the second cut edge portion.

[0011] To achieve the above technical solution, the coin-kicking slot utilizes a specific geometric structure composed of the first to fourth shaped cutting edges, which guides the coin-kicking sorting path and provides a smooth transition. The second cutting edge is an arc-shaped structure bent towards the coin-kicking guide plate, forming a guide surface. Abnormal coins lifted by the drive rod are smoothly turned along the arc by the conveyor belt and enter the coin-kicking guide plate. The third cutting edge is vertically positioned near the conveyor belt, and the fourth cutting edge transitions seamlessly with the third, together forming a stable slot boundary. This ensures precise positioning of the sorting action and prevents coin shifting or jamming.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first and second cut edges are perpendicular to the groove of the coin ejection slot, the third and fourth cut edges are oblique and transition to the groove, and the inclination angle of the third and fourth cut edges is 10°-20°.

[0013] To achieve the above technical solution, the first and second cutting edges are positioned perpendicular to the coin ejection slot, ensuring the stability and guiding accuracy of the sorting starting area structure. This facilitates the smooth entry of abnormal coins into the slot after the drive rod lifts them up and they are carried by the belt. The third and fourth cutting edges employ a slanted transition structure at a certain angle, forming a smooth, inclined connection with the slot. This reduces the edge resistance of abnormal coins entering the slot, promoting rapid sliding and stable guidance to the coin ejection guide plate. This composite angle design balances positioning accuracy and smooth transport, avoiding problems such as coin jamming and stacking, thus improving the reliability of the sorting operation and overall operational efficiency.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first cutting edge portion is disposed in the coin feeding direction of the coin feeding plate, and a drive rod is inserted through the second cutting edge portion near the first cutting edge portion.

[0015] By implementing the above technical solution, the structure enables abnormal coins to be accurately pushed into the coin ejection slot in the shortest possible time after being identified. Combined with the arc-shaped guide structure, it ensures the stability of the sorting starting point and the smoothness of the transport transition, further reducing the risk of jamming and improving sorting efficiency.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the coin feeding plate is provided with at least two sets of coin ejection slots and coin ejection guide plates, and the number of driving mechanisms is corresponding to the number of coin ejection slots.

[0017] To achieve the above technical solution, this structure constitutes a multi-station continuous coin sorting system. It enables the orderly distribution of multiple sorting units along the coin feeding direction on the coin transport path, allowing for continuous identification and removal of abnormal coins, thus increasing the sorting frequency and processing capacity per unit time. Furthermore, the multi-station layout avoids congestion and stacking caused by frequent operations at a single exit, ensuring the smooth flow of genuine coins.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the coin ejection guide plate includes a limiting plate and a guide plate; the limiting plate is parallel to the coin conveying plate in the vertical direction and is suspended at the coin inlet of the coin ejection compartment, and an arc-shaped guide plate is provided on the inner side.

[0019] To achieve the above technical solution, the structure, through the synergistic effect of limiting and guiding, ensures that abnormal coins reliably and smoothly enter the next collection channel after sorting, avoiding problems such as jamming and blockage, and improving the stability of sorting operations and the continuity of the entire machine's operation.

[0020] As described above, the coin conveying structure for a high-speed coin sorting machine of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. This utility model, by setting up a multi-station continuous sorting structure, equipped with multiple coin kicking slots, a drive mechanism and a coin kicking guide plate, can achieve efficient and stable removal of abnormal coins, improve sorting efficiency, and is suitable for high-speed sorting scenarios.

[0022] 2. This utility model optimizes the trough structure and guide design, and adopts arc-shaped cut edges, beveled transitions and limiting guide components to ensure that abnormal coins are accurately pushed, smoothly turned and reliably enter the coin dispensing compartment, avoiding jamming and poor conveying, and greatly improving the response speed of sorting action and the stability of system operation.

[0029] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a coin kicking and conveying structure for a high-speed coin sorting machine. The coin sorting machine includes a main panel 1, a coin dispensing mechanism 2, a conveying mechanism 3, and a coin kicking and conveying mechanism 4. The coin dispensing mechanism 2, the conveying mechanism 3, and the coin kicking and conveying mechanism 4 are all disposed on the main panel 1. The coin dispensing mechanism 2 is connected to the conveying mechanism 3. The coin kicking and conveying mechanism 4 is disposed on the side of the conveying mechanism 3.

[0031] For further details, please refer to Figure 2 The system includes a coin feeding plate 400, which is mounted on the main panel 1. Guide rails 406 and belts 401 are mounted on both sides for feeding coins. The coin feeding plate 400 is provided with a coin feeding slot, and multiple sets of detection components 403 are provided in the coin feeding direction of the coin feeding slot for detecting coins. A drive mechanism 402 is provided at the bottom of the coin feeding plate 400. The drive rod 4021 of the drive mechanism 402 passes through the coin kicking slot 405. The top of the drive rod 4021 is flush with the coin feeding plate 400 in the horizontal direction when not in a driven state. A coin kicking guide plate 404 is provided on the side of the coin kicking slot 405, and the bottom of the coin kicking guide plate 404 is connected to the coin kicking compartment.

[0032] By setting coin inlet / outlet slots and multiple detection components 403 on the coin inlet plate 400, coins can be detected and identified. A liftable drive mechanism 402 and a laterally connected coin kicking guide plate 404 are configured at the coin kicking slot 405. When an abnormal coin is detected, the drive rod 4021 quickly moves upward, pushing the abnormal coin into the coin kicking slot 405 and guiding it through the coin kicking guide plate 404, allowing it to smoothly enter the coin kicking compartment. This structure optimizes the transmission connection of coin kicking and sorting, improves the response speed and power transmission efficiency of abnormal coin pushing, and avoids the retention and stacking of abnormal coins at the inlet.

[0033] Furthermore, the detection component 403 includes a detection head 4031, which is inserted through the coin feeding plate 400 and is flush with the coin feeding plate 400 in the horizontal direction.

[0034] The structure ensures that coins pass smoothly through the detection area during transport, avoiding problems such as coin jamming or trajectory deviation caused by the protrusion or dent of the detection head 4031. This improves the accuracy and response speed of abnormal coin identification without affecting the smoothness of coin transport.

[0035] For further details, please refer to Figure 3The coin ejection slot 405 includes a first cut edge portion 4051, a second cut edge portion 4052, a third cut edge portion 4053, and a fourth cut edge portion 4054. One side of the coin ejection slot 405 is the first cut edge portion 4051. The second cut edge portion 4052 is provided on the side of the first cut edge portion 4051 near the guide rail 406. The second cut edge portion 4052 is arc-shaped and bent towards the coin ejection guide plate 404. The third cut edge portion 4053 is vertically provided on the horizontal plane on the side of the first cut edge portion 4051 near the belt 401. The fourth cut edge portion 4054 is transitioned and connected to the third cut edge portion 4053, and forms a closure with the tail of the second cut edge portion 4052.

[0036] The coin ejection slot 405, through a specific geometric structure composed of first to fourth cut-edge portions 4054, embodies the guiding and smooth transition effect of the coin ejection sorting path. Specifically, the second cut-edge portion 4052 has an arc-shaped structure bent towards the coin ejection guide plate 404, forming a guide surface. Abnormal coins, lifted by the drive rod 4021, are smoothly turned along the arc by the belt 401 and enter the coin ejection guide plate 404. The third cut-edge portion 4053 is vertically positioned near the belt 401, and the fourth cut-edge portion 4054 transitions seamlessly with the third cut-edge portion 4053, together forming a stable slot boundary. This ensures precise positioning of the sorting action and prevents coin shifting or jamming.

[0037] Furthermore, the first cut edge portion 4051 and the second cut edge portion 4052 are both perpendicular to the groove of the coin ejection slot 405, and the third cut edge portion 4053 and the fourth cut edge portion 4054 are both inclined and transitioned to the groove. The inclination angle of the inclined surfaces of the third cut edge portion 4053 and the fourth cut edge portion 4054 is 10°-20°.

[0038] By setting the first and second cutting edges 4051 and 4052 perpendicular to the groove of the coin ejection slot 405, the stability and guiding accuracy of the sorting starting area structure are ensured. This facilitates the smooth entry of the abnormal coin into the slot after the drive rod 4021 lifts it up and is driven by the belt 401. The third and fourth cutting edges 4053 and 4054 adopt a certain angled transition structure, forming a smooth inclined connection with the slot, reducing the edge resistance of the abnormal coin when entering the slot, promoting the coin to slide in quickly and be stably guided to the coin ejection guide plate 404. This composite angle design takes into account both positioning accuracy and smooth conveying, avoiding problems such as coin jamming and stacking, and improving the reliability of the sorting action and the overall operating efficiency.

[0039] Furthermore, the first cutting edge portion 4051 is located in the coin feeding direction of the coin feeding plate 400, and the second cutting edge portion 4052 is provided with a drive rod 4021 passing through it near the first cutting edge portion 4051.

[0040] This structure enables abnormal coins to be accurately pushed into the coin ejection slot 405 in the shortest possible time after being identified. Combined with the arc-shaped guide structure, it ensures the stability of the sorting starting point and the smoothness of the transport transition, further reducing the risk of jamming and improving sorting efficiency.

[0041] For further details, please refer to Figure 4 At least two sets of coin ejection slots 405 and coin ejection guide plates 404 are provided on the coin feeding plate 400, and the number of drive mechanisms 402 is set accordingly to the number of coin ejection slots 405.

[0042] This structure constitutes a multi-station continuous coin sorting system, enabling the orderly distribution of multiple sorting units along the coin feeding direction on the coin transport path. It continuously performs abnormal coin identification and rejection actions, increasing the sorting frequency and processing capacity per unit time. Furthermore, the multi-station layout avoids congestion and stacking caused by frequent operations at a single exit, ensuring the smooth flow of genuine coins.

[0043] For further details, please refer to Figure 5 The coin ejection guide plate 404 includes a limiting plate 4041 and a guide plate 4042. The limiting plate 4041 is parallel to the coin feeding plate 400 in the vertical direction and is suspended at the coin inlet of the coin ejection compartment. An arc-shaped guide plate 4042 is provided on the inner side.

[0044] This structure, through the combined action of limiting and guiding, ensures that abnormal coins reliably and smoothly enter the next collection channel after sorting, avoiding problems such as jamming and blockage, and improving the stability of sorting operations and the continuity of the entire machine's operation.

[0045] Furthermore, the workflow of kick-to-transfer agency 4 includes:

[0046] First, the coin enters the coin feeding plate 400 from the coin inlet, and is smoothly transported along the coin feeding slot under the coordinated action of the guide rail 406 and the belt 401.

[0047] Furthermore, during the transport process, the detection head 4031 in the detection component 403 performs real-time detection on the coins to identify their authenticity. When an abnormal coin is detected, the control system immediately triggers the corresponding drive mechanism 402 to operate, and its drive rod 4021 quickly extends upward to change the original transport path of the abnormal coin. Then, the drive rod 4021 returns to its original position, and the abnormal coin smoothly enters the corresponding coin ejection slot 405 under the action of the belt 401.

[0048] Furthermore, after the abnormal coin enters the coin ejection slot 405, it moves along the slot structure. One side of its path is guided by the second slit portion 4052, causing the abnormal coin to naturally turn. Under the guidance of the second slit portion 4052, the other side of the abnormal coin gradually detaches from the belt 401 and naturally transitions to the coin ejection guide plate 404 through the beveled third slit portion 4053 and fourth slit portion 4054.

[0049] Furthermore, the abnormal coin is then guided into the coin ejection guide plate 404, and then guided into the coin ejection compartment via guide plate 4042.

[0050] This utility model features at least two sets of coin ejection slots and supporting mechanisms on the coin conveying plate. Multiple sorting units can work continuously or alternately along the conveying direction, achieving efficient sorting of continuously flowing abnormal coins and ensuring the continuous passage of genuine coins, thereby completing the entire high-speed abnormal coin identification, conveying, and rejection process.

[0051] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. All equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
