Definitions

  • the present invention relates to coin dispensing technology and more particularly, to a coin hopper having an improved coin pushing design, which comprises a hopper body having a funnel-shaped coin box in a housing thereof, and a rotating wheel mounted in the funnel-shaped coin box and having coin-pushing blades radially and equiangularly spaced around a wheel base thereof and a coin-receiving space defined between each two adjacent coin-pushing blades, wherein when the rotating wheel is rotated, coins are ruffled to fall into the coin-receiving spaces individually, and then pushed into the coin outlet one after another by the coin-pushing blades and coin-receiving spaces for dispensing.
  • a coin hopper is a coin counting device designed for use in a coin exchange machine, gambling machine, amusement machine or vending machine for sending out or issuing coins or token one by one.
  • coins or token of different thicknesses, sizes and/or shapes may be used in different countries or different machines.
  • a conventional coin hopper is known using a motor to rotate a rotating disc for dispensing coins/token.
  • the rotating wheel has a plurality of equiangularly spaced pins.
  • a guide member and a micro switch are respectively mounted in the inner side and outer side of the coin outlet of the coin hopper.
  • coins/token are pushed one by one by the pins of the rotating wheel toward the coin outlet and then guided out of the coin outlet by the guide member.
  • the micro switch When one coin/token passes through the coin outlet, it will touch the micro switch, achieving count of the dispensed coin/token.
  • a coin lever is provided between the rotating wheel and the coin outlet for removing each overlapped coin from the coin being delivered to the coin outlet, avoiding coin jams.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates a coin hopper according to the prior art design.
  • the coin hopper A comprises a base panel A1 , a rotating wheel A2 rotatably mounted at the base panel A1 , a coin outlet A10 disposed adjacent to the periphery of the rotating wheel A2 , a control plate A3 spaced below the coin outlet A10 and facing toward the rotating wheel A2 , a coin ejector A4 comprising a spring-loaded lever A41 and disposed at a top side of the coin outlet A10 , a plurality of pressure plates A21 arranged on the rotating wheel A2 and equiangularly spaced around the center thereof, a rib A211 located at each pressure plate A21 , and spring members A22 respectively arranged to support the respective pressure plates A21 .
  • the control plate A3 comprises a downwardly sloping guide rail A31 .
  • the rotating wheel A2 is rotated counter-clockwise, the rib A211 of each pressure plate A21 pushed one respective coin toward the control plate A3 , causing the coin to be abutted against the guide rail A31 of the control plate A3 , and thus, the coin is pushed upwardly along the guide rail A31 toward the coin outlet A10 .
  • the rid A211 of one pressure plate A21 is abutted against the guide rail A31
  • the rib A211 is forced by the guide rail A31 to compress the respective spring member A22 , and thus, this rib A211 can be moved downwardly over the control plate A3 .
  • the spring-loaded lever A41 of the coin ejector A4 is returned to eject the coin out of the coin hopper A through the coin outlet A10 .
  • the rib A211 at each pressure plate A21 will be forced to hit the control plate A3 heavily, and thus, the pressure plate A21 and the control plate A3 can wear quickly with use.
  • the spring members A22 are frequently compressed and then released by the respective pressure plates A21 , the problem of stress concentration or elastic fatigue can occur easily, causing failure of the retracting function of the ribs A211 of the pressure plate A21 and affecting the coin dispensing operation.
  • the control plate A3 is normally made from a plastic material to minimize the impact and noises produced upon hitting of coins against the control plate A3 .
  • the control plate A3 can wear out quickly when frequently rubbed by coins. When the control plate A3 starts to wear, coins can be not smoothly moved along the guide rail A31 of the control plate A3 to the coin outlet A10 . Replacing the control plate A3 requires much time and labor, increasing the cost.
  • FIG. 10 illustrates a coin dispenser according to the prior art.
  • the coin dispenser is substantially similar to the aforesaid prior art coin hopper with the difference that the rotating wheel A2 of the coin dispenser has radial rows of abutment blocks A23 arranged on the front wall thereof to constitute radial series of teeth; the control plate A3 has a plurality of grooves A32 concentrically located at an inner side thereof corresponding to the abutment blocks A23 .
  • each radial row of abutment blocks A23 is forced to move one respective coin toward the control plate A3 , causing the coin to abut against the guide rail A31 of the control plate A3 and then to be moved along the guide rail A31 upwardly toward the coin outlet A10 .
  • the abutment blocks A23 are moved through the respective grooves A32 of the control plate A3 without interference, and thus, the rotating wheel A2 can be continuously and smoothly rotated, preventing the ribs A211 of the pressure plate A21 from hitting the control plate A3 to cause structural damage.
  • this design of coin dispenser uses the control plate A3 to work with the rotating wheel A2 for controlling the coin moving direction. Friction between the control plate A3 and coins can still cause the control plate A3 to wear out, affecting the coin dispensing operation and leading to a control plate replacement problem. Improvement in this regard is necessary.
  • the present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is therefore the main object of the present invention to provide a coin hopper, which comprises a hopper body and a rotating wheel.
  • the hopper body comprises a housing and a power drive.
  • the housing comprises a funnel-shaped coin box, an accommodation chamber defined in the funnel-shaped coin box for accommodating coins to be dispensed, and a coin outlet disposed in communication with the accommodation chamber for guiding coins out of the accommodation chamber individually.
  • the power drive is adapted for rotating the rotating wheel to push coins out of the accommodation chambers into coin outlet individually.
  • the rotating wheel comprises a wheel base pivotally mounted in the housing, a plurality of coin-pushing blades radially and equiangularly extended from the wheel base and a coin-receiving space defined between each two adjacent coin-pushing blades.
  • the coin-pushing blades are curved blades, each having an abutment edge extending along one lateral side thereof and a pushing edge extending along an opposite lateral side thereof.
  • the base panel comprises a through hole cut through opposing front and back walls thereof at a lower side relative to the coin outlet.
  • the hopper body further comprises a coin ejector mounted at the base panel.
  • the coin ejector comprises a leaf spring having a fixed end and an opposing free end, a fastening member affixing the fixed end of the leaf spring to the back wall of the base panel, and a push member located at the free end of the leaf spring and inserted through the through hole of the base panel and floatably suspended in the circular base.
  • the push member will push this intruded coin away from the respective coin-pushing blade, preventing jamming of this intruded coin in the gap between the coin-pushing blade and the base panel, or an occurrence of a structural damage.
  • a first coin of the overlapped coins can be pushed into the coin outlet and then rapidly ejected out of the coin outlet by the lever of the coin-dispensing mechanism. If a second coin of the overlapped coins is moved with the first coin to the coin outlet, this second coin will be disposed above the height of the coin outlet due to the effect of the thickness of the coin-pushing blades of the rotating wheel, and will then be forced to fall from the surface of the first coin.
  • the raised bearing portion of the respective coin-pushing blade can touch the second coin or the other coins above the first coin, moving the second coin or the other coins downwardly away from the coin-pushing blades of the rotating wheel.
  • the bevel guide edge of the coin-dispensing strip of each coin-pushing blade can also move the second coin or the other coins downwardly away from the surface of first coin that is been moved into the coin outlet, allowing the first coin to be smoothly moved into the coin outlet and then pushed out of the coin outlet.
  • the invention effectively prevents the rotating wheel from delivering overlapped coins into the coin outlet to cause jammed coin or coin outlet blockage.
  • the funnel-shaped coin box of the housing of the hopper body defines an opening in communication with the accommodation chamber;
  • the base panel is affixed to the back wall of the funnel-shaped coin box, having a circular recess located at the front wall thereof and facing toward the opening and a guide edge extending along the border of the circular recess;
  • the rotating wheel is pivotally mounted at the center of the circular recess. During rotation of the rotating wheel, each coin-pushing blade of the rotating wheel works with one respective coin-receiving space to move one coin toward the coin outlet.
  • the coin is peripherally abutted against the guide edge around the border of the circular recess, and thus, this coin is moved toward a coin-dispensing mechanism in the coin outlet.
  • the guide edge around the circular recess imparts less friction resistance to the coin, and the coin can be moved into the coin outlet easily and smoothly.
