Coin counting device

Abstract

A coin counting device includes a base, a central plate seat disposed on the base, a counter disposed on the central plate seat, a receiving hopper disposed on the base, a turntable located above the central plate seat and having a plurality of annularly arranged coin slots, a connecting mechanism for rotatably mounting the turntable on the central plate seat, and a power source disposed on the central plate seat and controllably driving the turntable to rotate relative to the central plate seat. A portion of the connecting mechanism extends through the turntable and is supported on the central plate seat, creating a gap between the central portion of the turntable and the central plate seat. This gap is maintained even when a large number of coins are stacked on the turntable, preventing an increase in the contact area between the turntable and the central plate seat, thereby reducing wear and tear and extending the device's service life.

Claims

1. A coin counting device, comprising: a base; a middle plate seat disposed on the base; a counter disposed on the middle plate seat; a receiving hopper disposed on the base; a turntable located above the middle plate seat and having a plurality of annularly arranged coin slots; a connecting mechanism rotatably disposed on the middle plate seat, wherein a portion of the connecting mechanism extends through the turntable and is supported on the middle plate seat, such that a gap exists between the central portion of the turntable and the middle plate seat; and a power source disposed on the middle plate seat and controllably driving the turntable to rotate relative to the middle plate seat.

2. The coin counting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein, The assembly mechanism includes a bearing fixed inside the turntable, a positioning member passing through the bearing and supported downward on the middle plate seat, a first fixing member passing through the middle plate seat and fixed on the middle plate seat and inserted into the positioning member, and a second fixing member passing through the turntable and fixed on the first fixing member or the positioning member.

3. The coin counting device as claimed in claim 2, wherein, The first fixing member and the second fixing member of the assembly mechanism are coaxially arranged, and the end of the first fixing member is inserted into the positioning member, and the end of the second fixing member is locked on the first fixing member, or locked on the positioning member and located above the first fixing member.

4. The coin counting device as claimed in claim 3, wherein, The positioning component of the assembly mechanism has a cylindrical body portion that is fitted by the bearing and surrounded by the turntable, a base portion that is connected below the cylindrical body portion and supported on the middle plate seat, and a top seat portion that extends upward from the cylindrical body portion. The base portion is used to place the bearing so as to limit the bearing vertically and vertically with the turntable.

5. The coin counting device as claimed in claim 4, wherein, The first fixing member of the assembly mechanism is inserted through and fixed to the chassis and inserted into the cylinder body, and the second fixing member is locked to the first fixing member or the top seat.

6. The coin counting device as claimed in claim 4, wherein, The assembly mechanism also includes a gasket located above the turntable and inserted through the second fixing member. The gasket is clamped and fixed from above and below by the second fixing member and the portion of the top seat that protrudes from the turntable.

7. The coin counting device as claimed in claim 4, wherein, The turntable includes a disc body portion having a through groove for accommodating the positioning member and a bottom surface maintaining the gap with the central plate base, and a plurality of protrusion portions surrounding the central portion of the disc body portion and spaced apart from each other, protruding downward from the disc body portion and abutting against the central plate base. The disc body portion has the coin slots, and each protrusion portion is provided corresponding to two adjacent coin slots.

8. The coin counting device as claimed in claim 7, wherein, The through groove of the disc body has a connecting groove section extending downward from the top surface of the disc body and for the top seat of the positioning member to be embedded, a receiving groove section extending downward from the connecting groove section and having an inner diameter larger than the connecting groove section and for the cylinder body to be embedded, and a receiving groove section extending downward from the receiving groove section to the bottom surface of the disc body and having an inner diameter larger than the receiving groove section and for the bearing to be embedded. The base portion is located below the bearing and is located in the receiving groove section.
