Coin Box Inclined Base Sliding Door Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing coin cash registers are time-consuming to empty due to the need for manual handling and difficulty in simultaneously opening the door and removing coins, leading to incomplete emptying.
Innovation Solution
A coin cash register with a sliding door and an inclined support base that allows coins to slide out through a front-side removal opening, facilitated by a multi-angled bend design and a lock for secure access, making it easier to empty and service-friendly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a pivoting door or flap is used to close the removal opening, then the coin cash register can be securely closed, but the door may pop open due to internal coin pressure and manual handling becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using a conventional pivoting door that opens outward against coin pressure, the patent uses a sliding door that moves horizontally along guide rails. This inversion of the door mechanism eliminates the popping problem by providing a linear sliding motion guided by rails, allowing the door to be securely closed while enabling easy manual operation without being forced open by internal pressure.
2Reliability
If coins are emptied manually by hand, then complete emptying can be achieved, but the process is time-consuming and reduces service efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a coin discharge mechanism where coins automatically slide out of the coin cash register through a discharge opening when the sliding door is opened. The inclined support base and coin discharge opening work together to enable coins to exit automatically using gravity, eliminating the need for manual handling and significantly improving service efficiency while ensuring complete emptying.
3Ease of operation
If the removal opening is positioned in the front of the housing, then easy access for servicing is achieved, but the sliding door requires complex guiding mechanisms to prevent bending
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces guide rails as an intermediary element between the sliding door and the housing. These guide rails provide a simple yet effective guiding mechanism that prevents the sliding door from bending or misaligning during horizontal movement. The guide rails maintain the door's positional stability while allowing smooth sliding operation, achieving easy service access without excessive complexity.

Function Achieved in This Case
Enables efficient and complete emptying of coins without manual handling, improving service efficiency and security through the sliding door mechanism and secure locking system.
Implementation Method 1
A support base for the coins inside the housing is arranged, which is inclined from a rear wall of the housing in the direction of the removal opening

AI summary
The invention relates to a coin box for a coin-operated device, said box comprising a housing (34), the front face of which is provided with a removal opening (41). A sliding door (47) is associated with the removal opening (41) and a supporting floor (48) for the coins is situated in the interior of the housing (34). Said supporting floor (48) runs at an incline from a rear wall (36) of the housing (34) towards the removal opening (41).
