However, the above structure still has the following problems: the coin storage structure is single, only one coin cylinder is provided, the obtained number of the tokens is not in suspense, and the attraction to players is low.

Disclosure of Invention

In order to solve the problems that the coin storage structure of the conventional coin storage device is single and the attraction of a single coin cylinder to a player is low, according to one aspect of the invention, a rotary coin storage device is provided.

The rotary coin storage device comprises a main frame body; the coin storage unit is arranged on the main frame body in a pivoted manner and comprises at least two coin storage bins, the coin storage units are arranged to rotate along with the coin storage bins relative to the main frame body, the coin storage bins sequentially pass through a coin inlet position and a coin outlet position of the rotary coin storage device, when the coin storage bins pass through the coin inlet position, tokens conveyed by the coin inlet position are stored in a first cavity of the coin storage bins, when the coin storage bins pass through the coin outlet position, tokens in the first cavity are output from the coin outlet position to the outside of the rotary coin storage device, and all the coin storage bins do not output the tokens from the coin outlet position at the same time; and a driving unit for driving the coin storage unit to rotate relative to the main frame.

Therefore, the coin storing speed of the rotary coin storing device is higher than that of the conventional coin storing device; the coin depositing device rotates continuously in the coin depositing process, and the number of the coin depositing bins is increased, so that the attraction of the rotating coin depositing device to players is greatly increased.

In some embodiments, the coin depositing unit further comprises a first mounting seat pivotally arranged on the main frame body, each coin depositing bin is pivotally arranged on the first mounting seat, and when no external force is applied to each coin depositing bin, the first opening of the first cavity of each coin depositing bin is upward; the driving mechanism is arranged on the main frame body and used for driving the coin storage bin which rotates to the coin outlet position to rotate relative to the first mounting seat so as to output the medal in the first cavity of the coin storage bin from the coin outlet position to the outside of the rotary coin storage device; in particular, the longitudinal section of the first cavity perpendicular to its pivot axis is semicircular; in particular, the pivot axis of the hopper is disposed at a location of the hopper proximate to the first opening thereof.

Therefore, the coin storage bin moving to the coin outlet position can rotate relative to the first mounting seat under the drive of the driving mechanism, namely the coin storage bin is overturned under the drive of the driving mechanism, so that the medal in the first cavity of the coin storage bin is output from the coin outlet position to the outside of the rotary coin storage device; when the vertical section of the first cavity and the longitudinal section of the pivot shaft are semicircular, the swing of the coin storage bin can be kept for a period of time after the coin storage bin turns over and unloads coins, so that the number of the coins stored in the coin storage bin is not kept constant, the suspense is increased, and the swing amplitude of the coin storage bin is reduced along with the increase of the number of the coins stored in the coin storage bin; when the pivot shaft of the coin storage bin is arranged at a position close to the first opening of the coin storage bin, the swing amplitude of the coin storage bin can be maximized, so that the coin storage bin swings under the drive of the driving mechanism to output the tokens in the first cavity of the coin storage bin from the first opening.

In some embodiments, the coin storage bin is provided with a balancing weight, and the balancing weight is arranged so that the weight of the side, close to the bottom of the first cavity, of the balancing weight is larger than the weight of the side, close to the first opening, of the balancing weight. Therefore, when the coin storage bin swings, the coin storage bin can be guaranteed to gradually return to the state that the first opening of the coin storage bin faces upwards under the assistance of the balancing weight even if the coins are not stored.

In some embodiments, the pivot axis of the coin hopper is parallel to the pivot axis of the first mount. Therefore, the coin storage bin of the coin outlet position can gradually turn over under the drive of the driving mechanism while the driving unit drives the first mounting seat to drive the first mounting seat to rotate; even the driving mechanism keeps still, the coin storage bin of the coin outlet position on the first rotating mounting seat can be driven to gradually overturn, so that the setting mode of the driving mechanism is simplified.

In some embodiments, the rotary coin depositing device further comprises an adjusting block arranged on at least one side of the first mounting seat of the main frame body, wherein the adjusting block is arranged such that at least one of the coin depositing bin and the balancing weight is abutted against the side wall of the adjusting block when the adjusting block moves to the position where the adjusting block is positioned, and the first opening of the first cavity of the coin depositing bin faces upwards; in particular, the adjusting block is arranged at a position of the main frame body between the coin inlet position and the coin outlet position.

Therefore, when the coin storage bin moves to the position where the adjusting block is located under the drive of the first mounting seat and still keeps swinging, the swinging coin storage bin collides with the adjusting block in the process that the coin storage bin follows the first mounting seat to rotate, and under the limit of the adjusting block, the swinging amplitude of the coin storage bin which follows the first mounting seat to store tokens in the coin feeding position can be gradually reduced.

In some embodiments, a surface of at least one of the coin hopper and the balancing weight facing the adjusting block is provided with a first inclined surface, and the first inclined surface is arranged such that the distance from one side close to the first opening to the bottom close to the first cavity to the adjusting block facing the first inclined surface is gradually reduced; in particular, the first inclined surface is arranged so as to incline toward the side of the adjusting block toward which it is directed as the distance from the first opening increases.

Therefore, when the first inclined surface is in contact with the adjusting block, the swing amplitude of the coin storage bin can be gradually adjusted through the adjusting block, so that the phenomenon that the abrasion rate of the first inclined surface is high due to the fact that the swing amplitude of the coin storage bin is large due to the fact that the adjustment amplitude of the adjusting block is large is avoided; when the first inclined plane is arranged to incline to the side where the adjusting block facing the first inclined plane is located along with the increase of the distance between the first inclined plane and the first opening, the adjusting block can further ensure that the swing amplitude of the coin storage bin is gradually reduced until the first opening is upward by abutting on the first inclined plane along with the rotation of the coin storage bin following the first mounting seat.

In some embodiments, all of the coin bins are distributed on the same circumference of the first mount with the center of the first mount's pivot axis. Therefore, the function of driving all coin storage bins passing through the coin outlet position to turn over can be realized by arranging one driving mechanism, and the structure of the rotary coin storage device is simplified.

In some embodiments, the rotary coin storage device further comprises a stripper plate arranged on the main frame body and positioned at a coin outlet position; the two discharging plates are obliquely arranged below the coin storage bin, and the bottoms of the two discharging plates are respectively communicated with the coin outlet of the rotary coin storage device; the coin storage unit is arranged to output the medal in the first cavity to one of the stripper plates through the coin storage bin of the coin outlet position when the driving unit drives the coin storage unit to rotate positively; when the driving unit drives the coin storage bin to rotate reversely, the coin in the first cavity is output to the other stripper plate through the coin storage bin of the coin outlet position; in particular, the tops of the two stripper plates are connected.

The two discharging plates are connected with the two coin outlet openings, and the coin storage bin positioned at the coin outlet position can be controlled by adjusting the rotation direction of the driving unit to output the medal to any discharging plate, so that the coin outlet efficiency is improved, the selection range of the coin storage bin for discharging coins is increased, and the possibility of the coin storage bin for discharging coins is increased; when the tops of two stripper plates are connected, the medal which can be output from the coin storage bin to the stripper plate can be completely output from the coin outlet, so that the medal which is output from the coin storage bin is prevented from falling to other positions of the rotary coin storage device, and the work of cleaning the medal is reduced.

In some embodiments, the drive mechanism includes a lever for driving the coin storage bin, which rotates with the first mount, to move to the coin outlet position, to rotate about its pivot axis; and a driving module for driving the gear lever to move to contact with at least one of the coin storage bin and the balancing weight of the coin outlet position or to be separated from the coin storage bin and the balancing weight of the coin outlet position; in particular, the surface of the baffle rod, which is contacted with the coin storage bin or the balancing weight, is arranged into an outwards convex arc shape; in particular, the part of the gear lever, which is in contact with the coin storage bin or the balancing weight, is provided with a first roller which rotates around a rotating shaft parallel to the pivoting shaft of the coin storage bin.

Therefore, the driving module can control the gear lever to move, so as to control whether the gear lever controls the coin storage bin of the coin outlet position to turn over, and whether the coin storage bin of the coin outlet position turns over can be controlled according to the requirement; when the surface of the baffle rod, which is contacted with the coin storage bin or the balancing weight, is arranged into an outwards convex arc shape, the contact abrasion of the baffle rod, the coin storage bin and the balancing weight can be reduced; when the first roller rotating around the rotating shaft parallel to the pivoting shaft of the coin storage bin is set in the part of the baffle rod contacting with the coin storage bin or the counter weight, the contact wear of the baffle rod, the coin storage bin and the counter weight may be further reduced.

In some embodiments, the drive module is configured to drive the lever to reciprocate in the direction of the pivot axis of the first mount. Thereby, the structure of the driving module can be simplified.

The driving unit 30 may be implemented to include a first rotating motor whose rotation shaft is connected to the coin depositing unit 20, and whose housing is mounted on the main frame 100. The drive unit 30 may also be implemented to include a first rotary motor and a first transmission module (as shown in fig. 4 and 6), which may be implemented as a belt-over-pulley transmission or as a gear-engagement transmission; the present invention is not limited to a specific implementation manner of the first transmission module, as long as the first transmission module can transmit the power output by the first rotation motor to the coin storage unit 20, and drive the coin storage unit 20 to rotate relative to the main frame 100. The driving unit 30 may be implemented as a driving unit 30 commonly used in the prior art, as long as the driving unit 30 can drive the coin storage unit 20 to rotate relative to the main frame 100, and the specific implementation of the driving unit 30 is not limited in the present invention. Preferably, as shown in fig. 4, the support of the main frame 100 to the coin storage unit 20 is improved, and at the same time, the friction force of the rotation of the coin storage unit 20 relative to the main frame 100 is reduced, and the rotation shaft of the coin storage unit 20, the rotation shaft of the first rotation motor or the rotation shaft of the first transmission module are connected to the main frame 100 through bearings, and the specific connection mode is only required by adopting a mode commonly used in the prior art, and the invention is not limited to the specific connection mode.

Fig. 2, 5 and 6 exemplarily show a first embodiment of the coin depositing unit 20, and as shown in fig. 2, the coin depositing unit 20 further includes a first mounting seat 22 and a driving mechanism 23; wherein, the first mounting seat 22 is pivotally arranged on the main frame body 100, specifically, when the driving unit 30 is a first rotating motor, the first mounting seat 22 can be pivotally arranged on the main frame body 100 by being directly connected to a rotating shaft of the first rotating motor, when the driving unit 30 comprises the first rotating motor and the first transmission module, the first mounting seat 22 can be directly connected to the rotating shaft of the first transmission module, preferably, the driving unit 30, the first transmission module or the rotating shaft of the first mounting seat 22 is pivotally connected to the main frame body 100 through a bearing, so as to reduce the resistance of rotation; each coin storage bin 21 is pivotally arranged on the first mounting seat 22, and the mode that the coin storage bins 21 are pivotally arranged on the first mounting seat 22 can be realized in such a way that the rotating shafts of the coin storage bins 21 are pivotally connected to the first mounting seat 22 through bearings, and the specific connection mode is realized by adopting the common mode in the prior art; when no external force is applied to each coin storage bin 21, the first opening 212 of the first cavity 211 of each coin storage bin is upwards arranged; the driving mechanism 23 is disposed on the main frame 100, and the driving mechanism 23 is configured to drive the coin storage 21 rotated to the coin outlet 102 to rotate around its own pivot axis relative to the first mounting seat 22, so as to output the tokens in the first cavity 211 thereof from the coin outlet 102 to the outside of the rotary coin storage device.

As a first embodiment of the driving mechanism 23, the driving mechanism 23 may be implemented as a lever 231 provided on the main frame 100, and the lever 231 is provided so that the hopper 21 rotated to the coin outlet position 102 can be gradually turned over by being blocked by the lever 231 while following the rotation of the first mount 22 until the tokens in the first cavity 211 thereof are output from the coin outlet position 102 to the outside of the rotary coin storage device.

Since the coin depositing unit 20 is rotated relative to the main frame 100 by the driving unit 30, the coin depositing unit 20 has at least two coin depositing bins 21, when the coin depositing bins 21 move to the coin dispensing position 102, the coins stored in the coin depositing position 101 are output from the coin dispensing position 102 to the outside of the rotary coin depositing device, and the coin depositing unit 20 is further arranged such that all the coin depositing bins 21 do not output the coins from the coin dispensing position 102 at the same time, so that when one of the coin depositing bins 21 moves to the coin dispensing position 102, the other coin depositing bins 21 can move to the coin dispensing position 101, thereby making the coin depositing speed of the rotary coin depositing device higher than that of the conventional coin depositing device; moreover, since the coin depositing device is continuously rotated during the coin depositing process, and the number of the coin depositing bins 21 is increased, the attraction of the rotating coin depositing device to the player is greatly increased.

As a preferred embodiment of the coin depositing unit 20, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, all the coin depositing bins 21 are distributed on the same circumference of the first mounting base 22 centered on the position of the pivot shaft of the first mounting base 22. Therefore, the function of driving all the coin storage bins 21 passing through the coin outlet position 102 to turn over can be realized by arranging one driving mechanism 23, and the structure of the rotary coin storage device is simplified.

As one of the preferred embodiments of the hopper 21, as shown in fig. 4, the pivot axis (second pivot axis 213) of the hopper 21 is parallel to the pivot axis (first pivot axis 221) of the first mount 22. So that the coin storage 21 of the coin outlet position 102 can drive the coin storage 21 of the coin outlet position 102 on the rotating first mounting seat 22 to gradually turn over even if the driving mechanism 23 keeps static while the driving unit 30 drives the first mounting seat 22 to rotate, thereby simplifying the setting mode of the driving mechanism 23.

As one of the preferred embodiments of the coin hopper 21, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, a longitudinal section of the first cavity 211 perpendicular to the pivot axis thereof is semicircular, and an arc portion of the semicircle is a bottom of the first cavity 211. So that after the hopper 21 turns over to unload coins, the swing is maintained for a period of time, so that the number of coins stored in the hopper 21 is not kept constant, and the suspicion is increased, and the swing amplitude of the hopper 21 is gradually reduced as the number of coins stored in the hopper 21 is increased.

As one of the preferred embodiments of the hopper 21, as shown in fig. 4 and 8, the pivot shaft of the hopper 21 is provided at a position of the hopper 21 near the first opening 212 thereof. So as to maximize the swing amplitude of the hopper 21, so that the hopper 21 swings under the drive of the drive mechanism 23 to output tokens in its first cavity 211 from the first opening 212.

As one of the preferred embodiments of the coin storage 21, as shown in fig. 2, 5 and 6, a weight 24 is provided on the coin storage 21, and the weight 24 is provided such that the weight thereof on the side near the bottom of the first cavity 211 is greater than the weight thereof on the side near the first opening 212. So that when the coin depositing bin 21 swings, the coin depositing bin 21 can be ensured to gradually return to the state that the first opening 212 of the coin depositing bin 21 faces upwards even under the condition of not depositing the coins with the aid of the balancing weight 24, so that the coin depositing bin 21 can store the coins in the coin feeding position 101.

In a preferred embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 to 3 and 5, the rotary coin depositing apparatus further includes an adjustment block 40 provided at least one side of the first mounting seat 22 of the main frame body 100, the adjustment block 40 being arranged such that at least one of the coin depositing hopper 21 and the balancing weight 24 abuts against a side wall of the adjustment block 40 when moved to the first opening 212 of the first cavity 211 of the coin depositing hopper 21 where the adjustment block 40 is located. Therefore, when the coin storage bin 21 moves to the position where the adjusting block 40 is located under the driving of the first mounting seat 22 and still keeps swinging, the swinging coin storage bin 21 or the adjusting block 40 on the coin storage bin 21 can collide with the adjusting block 40 in the process that the coin storage bin 21 rotates along with the first mounting seat 22, and the swing amplitude of the coin storage bin 21 rotating along with the first mounting seat 22 can be gradually reduced under the limit of the adjusting block 40.

One preferred embodiment of the adjustment block 40 is shown with reference to fig. 1 to 3 and 5, the adjustment block 40 being provided in the main frame 100 at a position between the coin inlet position 101 and the coin outlet position 102 such that the swing amplitude of the hopper 21 is reduced to no longer swing before moving to the coin inlet position 101 so that the hopper 21 stores tokens at the coin inlet position 101. Preferably, the adjusting blocks 40 are arranged on both sides of the main frame 100, which are located on the first mounting seat 22, so that when the driving unit 30 drives the first mounting seat 22 to rotate forwards and backwards, the adjusting blocks 40 can ensure that the swing amplitude of the coin storage 21 is gradually reduced to no longer swing before moving to the coin feeding position 101, for example, when the driving unit 30 drives the first mounting seat 22 to rotate forwards, the adjusting blocks 40 on one side control the swing amplitude of the coin storage 21 to be gradually reduced to no longer swing before moving to the coin feeding position 101; when the driving unit 30 drives the first mounting seat 22 to rotate reversely, the adjusting block 40 on the other side controls the swing amplitude of the coin storage bin 21 to be gradually reduced to no swing before moving to the coin feeding position 101.

On the basis of the provision of the adjustment block 40, the surface of at least one of the coin hopper 21 and the counter weight 24 facing the adjustment block 40 is provided with a first inclined surface 241, as shown in fig. 1, 2, 5 and 6, of the preferred embodiment of the coin hopper 21 and/or the counter weight 24, the first inclined surface 241 being provided such that the distance thereof from the side near the first opening 212 to the bottom near the first cavity 211 to the adjustment block 40 toward which it faces gradually decreases. Thus, when the first inclined surface 241 is in contact with the adjusting block 40, the swing amplitude of the coin storage 21 can be gradually adjusted by the adjusting block 40, so that the problem that the swing amplitude of the coin storage 21 causes the high abrasion rate of the first inclined surface 241 due to the large adjustment amplitude of the adjusting block 40 is avoided. Preferably, the first inclined surface 241 is configured such that it is inclined toward the side of the adjustment block 40 toward which it is directed as the distance from the first opening 212 increases, to further ensure that, as the hopper 21 rotates following the first mounting seat 22, the adjustment block 40 gradually reduces the swing amplitude of the hopper 21 by abutting against the first inclined surface 241 until the first opening 212 thereof faces upward; also, when the first inclined surface 241 is provided on the weight block 24, it is possible to ensure that the weight of the weight block 24 on the side close to the first opening 212 is smaller than the weight of the weight block on the side close to the bottom of the first cavity 211 without adding other structures.

In some preferred embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the rotary deposit device further comprises a stripper plate 50 provided on the main frame 100 at the deposit position 102; the two stripper plates 50 are arranged, the two stripper plates 50 are obliquely arranged below the coin storage bin 21, and the bottoms of the two stripper plates 50 are respectively communicated with two coin outlet ports 104 of the rotary coin storage device; the coin depositing unit 20 is arranged to output the tokens in the first cavity 211 to one of the stripper plates 50 through the coin depositing hopper 21 of the coin discharging position 102 when the driving unit 30 drives the coin depositing unit to rotate forward; when the driving unit 30 drives the reverse rotation thereof, the hopper 21 passing through the hopper 102 outputs tokens in the first cavity 211 to the other stripper plate 50. To increase the coin outlet efficiency and the selection range of the coin storage 21 of the coin outlet, and to increase the possibility of the coin storage 21 of the coin outlet. Preferably, the top of the two stripper plates 50 are connected. So that tokens output from the depositing hopper 21 onto the stripper plate 50 can be completely output from the coin outlet 104, avoiding the tokens output from the depositing hopper 21 from falling to other positions of the rotary depositing device, and reducing the work of cleaning the tokens.

As a second embodiment of the drive mechanism 23, as shown in fig. 4, 6 to 14, the drive mechanism 23 includes a lever 231 and a drive module 232; wherein, the stop lever 231 is used for driving the coin storage bin 21 which rotates along with the first mounting seat 22 and moves to the coin outlet position 102 to rotate around the pivot shaft thereof; the driving module 232 is used for driving the lever 231 to move into contact with at least one of the hopper 21 and the weight 24 of the coin outlet 102, or the driving module 232 is used for driving the lever 231 to move apart from the hopper 21 and the weight 24 of the coin outlet 102. Therefore, the driving module 232 can control the shift lever 231 to move, so as to control whether the shift lever 231 controls the coin storage 21 of the coin outlet 102 to turn over, so that whether the coin storage 21 of the coin outlet 102 turns over can be controlled according to the requirement. Preferably, as shown in fig. 2, 5 and 6, the surface of the lever 231 contacting the coin hopper 21 or the weight 24 is provided in a convex arc shape. To reduce contact wear of the lever 231, the hopper 21 and the weight 24.
