Coin Batch Insertion Device Using Rotating Rotor for High-Speed Feeding
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional coin batch insertion devices face limitations in increasing processing speed and space efficiency due to structural restrictions in the hopper and belt-conveying techniques, which hinder high-speed feeding and power saving.
Innovation Solution
A coin batch insertion device featuring a cylindrical portion with a rotor and a floor portion that inclines coins between the inner and outer peripheral walls, utilizing centrifugal force to convey coins one by one through a coin dropping hole, and includes a rotor support mechanism to prevent clogging by moving the rotation center when clogging occurs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If the hopper technique or belt-conveying technique is used to separate and feed coins one by one, then the coin feeding function is achieved, but the processing speed cannot be increased further and a lot of horizontal space is required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from horizontal coin separation (hopper/belt techniques requiring large horizontal space) to vertical coin separation using a rotating disk with radial grooves. Coins are separated and fed one by one in the vertical dimension through the rotation of the disk, dramatically reducing the horizontal space requirement while enabling higher processing speeds.
2Productivity
If the hopper technique uses a rotating disk with holes or protrusions to separate coins, then coin separation is achieved, but it requires waiting for coins to enter the hole or protrusion and consumes more space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a dynamically rotating disk where the rotation speed and position can be controlled. The radial grooves on the rotating disk actively guide and separate coins during rotation, eliminating the need to wait for coins to passively enter fixed holes or protrusions. This dynamic approach continuously processes coins at high speed without idle waiting time.

Function Achieved in This Case
This design enhances processing speed and achieves space-saving by efficiently conveying coins at high speed while automatically addressing clogging issues without additional motive power, resulting in a compact and efficient coin feeding system.
Implementation Method 1
The coin batch insertion device... feeding the inserted coins, maintained in an erect state, to be conveyed between an inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical portion and an outer peripheral wall of the rotor along the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical portion using rotation of the rotor
