Coin Sorting Container With Inclined Floor And Damping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing coin sorting machine setups require large spaces and are cumbersome to move, as they often involve extensive structural measures and complex transport systems, limiting accessibility and operability, especially in financial institutions handling large coin volumes.
Innovation Solution
The design features containers with downward-projecting side walls, compact rectangular bases, and inclined inner floors to facilitate easy handling and space-saving arrangements, along with sound-damping materials and secure closure mechanisms, allowing for efficient coin collection and transport.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If containers are positioned at a distance from the sorting machine and staggered from one another with transport devices, then coins can be efficiently collected and sorted, but the arrangement restricts accessibility and ease of operation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the sorting machine and containers into a single integrated unit where containers are arranged within the housing below the sorting unit. This merging eliminates the need for separate transport devices and staggered positioning, improving accessibility while maintaining sorting functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a horizontal arrangement with transport devices to a vertical arrangement where containers are stacked below the sorting unit. This dimensional change allows efficient coin collection without restricting accessibility to the machine's front panel.
2Volume of moving object
If the sorting machine and containers are placed on different floors with pipe conveyors, then space is utilized vertically, but significant space and structural modifications are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the containers within the same housing as the sorting machine, eliminating the need for separate floors and pipe conveyors. This single-unit design achieves compact space utilization without complex structural modifications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the transport function from the system by having containers positioned directly below the sorting openings, allowing coins to drop directly into containers without requiring external conveyors or pipe systems.
3Area of stationary object
If containers are arranged upright in the housing below the sorting unit, then space is saved, but the containers become cumbersome to transport
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the integrated unit into separable components: the sorting machine housing and the containers. This segmentation allows containers to be easily removed and transported independently while maintaining a compact footprint when in use.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic positioning where containers can be moved between a stored position within the housing and a removable position for transport. This dynamic arrangement allows the system to adapt between compact operation and easy transportability.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This configuration enables a space-saving, easily transportable, and accessible coin sorting system that reduces noise and wear, while maintaining high storage capacity and operational efficiency, allowing for seamless integration with coin sorting machines.
Implementation Method 1
the container can have a bottom made of a sound-damping material or coated with such a material in order to reduce noise and wear on the container and/or coins
Implementation Method 2
The inner base is preferably inclined towards the front narrow side with the opening. The inclined inner base can be positioned below the opening, so that coins are guided through the inner base towards the opening.
