Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of piggy bank technology, and in particular to a categorizable ceramic piggy bank. Background Technology
[0002] Ceramic piggy banks are common coin storage tools in daily life due to their beautiful material, warm texture, and certain cultural attributes. They are widely used in homes, offices, and as gifts. Most existing ceramic piggy banks have a single-cavity structure, where coins of all denominations (such as 1 jiao, 5 jiao, and 1 yuan) are stored together after being put in. If a user needs to take out a coin of a certain denomination, the traditional ceramic piggy bank requires breaking the body to pour out all the coins and sort them manually. Breaking the body means that the piggy bank is completely unusable and cannot be reused. The low efficiency of manual sorting affects the effectiveness of coin retrieval. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the technical defects of existing technologies, this utility model provides a categorizable ceramic piggy bank. The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a categorizable ceramic piggy bank, including a ceramic jar body and a ceramic cover disposed on the upper surface of the ceramic jar body. A Y-shaped partition plate is fixedly connected inside the ceramic jar body. A U-shaped bracket is disposed on the surface of the ceramic jar body. The ceramic cover is fixedly connected inside the U-shaped bracket. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to an auxiliary rotating groove opened on the upper surface of the U-shaped bracket via a bearing. A rotating disk is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft. Six circular grooves arranged in a ring array are opened on the surface of the rotating disk. Three coin slots arranged in a ring array are opened on the surface of the ceramic cover. Each coin slot is connected to a corresponding Y-shaped partition plate to separate the space inside the ceramic jar body. Connecting plates are inserted into the insertion slots opened inside the two bottom ends of the U-shaped bracket. A rubber base is fixedly fitted on the bottom of the ceramic jar body.
[0004] By adopting the above technical solution, the Y-shaped partition plate divides the interior of the ceramic jar into three independent storage chambers. The circular groove of the rotating disk drives the coins to move, and the coin slot on the ceramic cover accurately drops the coins, realizing the classified storage of coins of different denominations. The U-shaped bracket and the connecting plate are connected and can be easily disassembled to retrieve the coins. The rubber base can reduce the risk of the ceramic jar breaking when it is dropped, taking into account the functions of classification, retrieval and protection.
[0005] Preferably, all three coin slots are circular holes, and the diameter of the holes in the three coin slots increases sequentially along a preset direction. The diameter of the holes in the three coin slots is adapted to the diameter of a 1-cent coin, a 5-cent coin, and a 1-yuan coin, respectively. The three coin slots are used to allow 1-cent coins, 5-cent coins, and 1-yuan coins to be individually inserted into their respective storage cavities.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution and precisely matching the aperture with the diameter of coins of different denominations, it can be ensured that one-jiao, five-jiao, and one-yuan coins can only fall into the corresponding coin slots, avoiding the mixing of coins of different denominations. Automatic classification can be achieved without manual sorting, improving storage accuracy and convenience, and meeting users' needs for coin classification and statistics.
[0007] Preferably, the bottom ends of the two connecting plates are fixedly connected to the rubber base, and bolts are inserted into the round insertion holes on both sides of the U-shaped bracket. The bolts are inserted into the threaded holes on the surface of the connecting plates, and the bolts are threadedly connected to the connecting plates.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded engagement of the bolt and the threaded hole can firmly fix the U-shaped bracket and the connecting plate, ensuring a stable connection between the U-shaped bracket and the ceramic jar body when the piggy bank is in use; at the same time, rotating the bolt can release the fixation, making it easy to pull the U-shaped bracket upward to remove the ceramic cover, avoiding the problem of breaking the jar body when taking coins from traditional piggy banks, and protecting the ceramic jar body from damage.
[0009] Preferably, a guide hopper is fixedly connected in the mounting groove on the upper surface of the U-shaped bracket, the bottom diameter of the guide hopper is adapted to the diameter of a one-yuan coin, and the diameter of the circular groove is adapted to the diameter of a one-yuan coin.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the funnel-shaped structure of the feed hopper can guide coins of different denominations to fall into the bottom outlet. Its bottom aperture is designed to be compatible with one-yuan coins, which can prevent coin blockage. The diameter of the circular slot is compatible with one-yuan coins, which can ensure that one-yuan coins and smaller one-jiao and five-jiao coins can be stably stuck in the circular slot and move with the rotating disk, ensuring the stability of the coin conveying process and avoiding coin deviation that would prevent accurate coin dropping.
[0011] Preferably, the inner diameter of the rubber base is adapted to the outer diameter of the lower part of the ceramic jar body, and the rubber base and the ceramic jar body are fixed together by strong adhesive.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the adaptability of the inner ring diameter ensures that the rubber base can be tightly fitted to the bottom of the ceramic jar body, and the strong adhesive bonding ensures a firm connection, preventing the rubber base from falling off during use. At the same time, the elasticity of the rubber material can absorb the impact force when the piggy bank is dropped, greatly reducing the risk of the ceramic jar body breaking and improving the safety of use.
[0013] Preferably, the upper surface of the Y-shaped partition plate is flush with the upper surface of the ceramic jar body.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the Y-shaped partition plate being flush with the upper surface of the ceramic jar body can ensure that the ceramic lid can fit tightly against the upper surface of the ceramic jar body, preventing coins from falling into the wrong storage cavity through the gaps; at the same time, the flush structure also allows coins to fall directly into the cavity separated by the Y-shaped partition plate after falling from the coin slot, without any extra gaps that could cause coins to get stuck, ensuring smooth classified storage.
[0015] Preferably, a motor is mounted on the upper surface of the U-shaped bracket, and the end of the motor output shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor can provide stable power and drive the rotating shaft and rotating disk to rotate precisely through the output shaft, eliminating the need for manual rotation of the rotating disk and improving ease of use; moreover, each rotation of the motor can ensure that the rotating disk returns to its initial position after each rotation, so that the coins can still fall accurately into the circular slot when the coins are inserted next time, ensuring the stability of the sorting function.
[0017] Preferably, the U-shaped bracket has an arc-shaped groove inside that matches the circumferential surface of the ceramic jar body, and the U-shaped bracket fits tightly against the surface of the ceramic jar body through the arc-shaped groove.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the compatibility between the arc-shaped groove and the circumferential surface of the ceramic jar body allows the U-shaped bracket to fit tightly against the surface of the ceramic jar body, avoiding gaps between the two that could cause the U-shaped bracket to wobble. At the same time, the fitting structure also ensures that the ceramic lid is precisely aligned with the upper surface of the ceramic jar body, ensuring precise communication between the coin slot and the cavity separated by the Y-shaped partition plate, and preventing coins from falling into the wrong position.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the Y-shaped partition plate divides the interior of the ceramic jar into three independent spaces, and the coin slots on the ceramic lid with holes that are respectively adapted to one-jiao, five-jiao and one-yuan coins, and the motor-driven rotating disk drives the coins to pass through the corresponding coin slots in sequence, which can realize the automatic classification of coins of different denominations into the corresponding storage chambers without the need for manual sorting, thus improving storage efficiency and accuracy. By rotating the bolt to disengage it from the threaded hole of the connecting plate, the U-shaped bracket can be pulled upwards, allowing the connecting plate to slide out of the insertion slot. This allows the U-shaped bracket and ceramic cover to be removed, making it easy to access the categorized coins inside the ceramic jar. This avoids the problem of traditional piggy banks breaking or being violently opened, thus protecting the ceramic jar itself. The rubber base fixed to the bottom of the ceramic jar reduces the risk of breakage when the jar falls, improving safety. The U-shaped bracket fits snugly against the surface of the ceramic jar through an arc groove, and the guide hopper helps coins fall stably into the circular groove of the rotating disc, ensuring a stable and orderly coin feeding and sorting process.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: like Figures 1 to 8As shown, this embodiment provides a categorizable ceramic piggy bank, including a ceramic jar body 1 and a ceramic cover 3 disposed on the upper surface of the ceramic jar body 1. A Y-shaped partition plate 2 is fixedly connected inside the ceramic jar body 1. A U-shaped bracket 5 is disposed on the surface of the ceramic jar body 1. The ceramic cover 3 is fixedly connected inside the U-shaped bracket 5. A rotating shaft 14 is rotatably connected to an auxiliary rotating groove 18 opened on the upper surface of the U-shaped bracket 5 via a bearing. A rotating disk 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 14. Six circular grooves 15 arranged in a ring array are opened on the surface of the rotating disk 7. Three coin slots 16 arranged in a ring array are opened on the surface of the ceramic cover 3. Each coin slot 16 The Y-shaped partition 2 connects to the corresponding space inside the ceramic jar body 1. The two bottom ends of the U-shaped bracket 5 have insertion slots 9 for inserting connecting plates 6. The bottom of the ceramic jar body 1 is fixedly fitted with a rubber base 4. The Y-shaped partition 2 divides the inside of the ceramic jar body 1 into three independent storage chambers. With the circular slot 15 of the rotating disk 7 driving the coins to move, and the coin slot 16 of the ceramic cover 3 accurately dropping the coins, different denomination coins can be stored separately. The insertion and connection between the U-shaped bracket 5 and the connecting plate 6 makes it easy to disassemble and retrieve the coins. The rubber base 4 reduces the risk of the ceramic jar body 1 breaking when it falls, taking into account the functions of classification, retrieval and protection.
[0023] All three coin slots 16 are circular holes, and the diameters of the holes in the three coin slots 16 increase sequentially along a preset direction. The diameters of the holes in the three coin slots 16 are respectively adapted to the diameters of one-jiao coins, five-jiao coins, and one-yuan coins. The three coin slots 16 are used to allow one-jiao coins, five-jiao coins, and one-yuan coins to be individually placed into their corresponding storage chambers. Through the precise adaptation of the hole diameters to the diameters of coins of different denominations, it can be ensured that one-jiao coins, five-jiao coins, and one-yuan coins can only fall into their corresponding coin slots 16, avoiding the mixing of coins of different denominations. Automatic classification can be achieved without manual sorting, improving storage accuracy and convenience, and meeting users' needs for coin classification and statistics.
[0024] The bottom ends of the two connecting plates 6 are fixedly connected to the rubber base 4. Bolts 12 are inserted into the round insertion holes 10 on both sides of the U-shaped bracket 5. The bolts 12 are inserted into the threaded holes 11 on the surface of the connecting plate 6. The bolts 12 and the connecting plate 6 are threadedly connected. The thread engagement between the bolts 12 and the threaded holes 11 can firmly fix the U-shaped bracket 5 and the connecting plate 6, ensuring that the U-shaped bracket 5 and the ceramic jar body 1 are stably connected when the piggy bank is in use. At the same time, rotating the bolts 12 can release the fixation, making it easy to pull the U-shaped bracket 5 upward to remove the ceramic top cover 3, avoiding the problem of breaking the jar body when taking coins from traditional piggy banks, and protecting the ceramic jar body 1.
[0025] A guide hopper 8 is fixedly connected to the mounting groove 17 on the upper surface of the U-shaped bracket 5. The bottom diameter of the guide hopper 8 is adapted to the diameter of a one-yuan coin, and the diameter of the circular groove 15 is also adapted to the diameter of a one-yuan coin. The funnel-shaped structure of the guide hopper 8 can guide coins of different denominations to fall into the bottom outlet. Its bottom diameter is adapted to the design of a one-yuan coin to avoid coin blockage. The diameter of the circular groove 15 is adapted to the one-yuan coin to ensure that one-yuan coins and smaller one-jiao and five-jiao coins can be stably stuck in the circular groove 15 and move with the rotating disk 7, ensuring the stability of the coin conveying process and avoiding coin deviation that would prevent accurate coin dropping.
[0026] The inner diameter of the rubber base 4 is matched with the outer diameter of the lower part of the ceramic jar body 1. The rubber base 4 and the ceramic jar body 1 are fixed by strong adhesive. The matching of the inner diameter ensures that the rubber base 4 can be tightly fitted on the bottom of the ceramic jar body 1. The strong adhesive ensures a firm connection and prevents the rubber base 4 from falling off during use. At the same time, the elasticity of the rubber material can absorb the impact when the piggy bank is dropped, greatly reducing the risk of the ceramic jar body 1 breaking and improving the safety of use.
[0027] The upper surface of the Y-shaped divider 2 is flush with the upper surface of the ceramic jar body 1. The design of the Y-shaped divider 2 being flush with the upper surface of the ceramic jar body 1 ensures that the ceramic lid 3 can fit tightly against the upper surface of the ceramic jar body 1, preventing coins from falling into the wrong storage cavity through the gaps. At the same time, the flush structure also allows coins to fall directly into the cavity separated by the Y-shaped divider 2 after falling from the coin slot 16, without any extra gaps that could cause the coins to get stuck, ensuring smooth classified storage.
[0028] A motor 13 is mounted on the upper surface of the U-shaped bracket 5. The end of the output shaft of the motor 13 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 14. The motor 13 can provide stable power and drive the rotating shaft 14 and the rotating disk 7 to rotate accurately through the output shaft, eliminating the need for manual rotation of the rotating disk 7 and improving ease of use. Moreover, the motor 13 rotates 360 degrees each time it runs, which can ensure that the rotating disk 7 returns to its initial position after each rotation, so that the coins can still fall accurately into the circular slot 15 when coins are inserted next time, ensuring the stability of the sorting function.
[0029] The U-shaped bracket 5 has an arc-shaped groove inside that matches the circumference of the ceramic jar body 1. The U-shaped bracket 5 fits tightly to the surface of the ceramic jar body 1 through the arc-shaped groove. The fit between the arc-shaped groove and the circumference of the ceramic jar body 1 allows the U-shaped bracket 5 to fit tightly to the surface of the ceramic jar body 1, preventing gaps between them from causing the U-shaped bracket 5 to wobble. At the same time, the fitting structure also ensures that the ceramic cover 3 is precisely aligned with the upper surface of the ceramic jar body 1, ensuring that the coin slot 16 and the cavity separated by the Y-shaped partition plate 2 are accurately connected, preventing coins from falling into the wrong position.
[0030] Working principle: When the piggy bank is in use, coins of different denominations are placed inside the feed hopper 8. The motor 13 is connected to the power supply, and the controller starts the motor 13. The output shaft of the motor 13 rotates clockwise, causing the rotating disk 7 to rotate clockwise synchronously. The rotation of the rotating disk 7 causes the coins inside the feed hopper 8 to fall into the circular groove 15. Since the height of the rotating disk 7 is the same as the thickness of a one-cent coin, and the longitudinal distance between the U-shaped bracket 5 and the rotating disk 7 is slightly greater than the thickness of a one-yuan coin, the coins fall into the circular groove 15 as the rotating disk 7 rotates. The coins inside the circular groove 15 adhere to the upper surface of the ceramic cover 3. The rotating disk 7 rotates synchronously with the rotating disk 7. The clockwise rotation of the rotating disk 7 causes the coins to first pass through the hole of the coin slot 16 with the diameter of a one-cent coin, then through the hole of the coin slot 16 with the diameter of a five-cent coin, and finally through the hole of the coin slot 16 with the diameter of a one-yuan coin. The coins of different denominations naturally fall into the corresponding space inside the ceramic jar body 1 through the Y-shaped partition plate 2. The motor 13 rotates 360 degrees each time it runs, so that the position of the rotating disk 7 after rotation remains unchanged, which makes it easier to continue to put coins in next time. When it is necessary to retrieve the coins inside the ceramic jar body 1, the bolts 12 are rotated using a tool. When the two bolts 12 are unscrewed from the threaded holes 11 at their respective positions, the U-shaped bracket 5 can be pulled upwards, causing the connecting plate 6 to slide out from the insertion slot 9. At this time, the U-shaped bracket 5 can be removed from the surface of the ceramic jar body 1. The movement of the U-shaped bracket 5 causes the ceramic cover 3 to move away from the ceramic jar body 1, thereby allowing the sorted coins inside the ceramic jar body 1 to be retrieved, avoiding the problem of breaking the piggy bank when retrieving the coins from the ceramic jar body 1. The rubber base 4 is made of rubber, which reduces the risk of the piggy bank breaking if it falls.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
