Definitions
- the present invention relates to coin dispensing technology and more particularly, to a coin hopper, which uses a spring-loaded float to adjust a coin-delivery gap, enabling coins having different thicknesses to be individually and smoothly delivered to a coin outlet for dispensing and avoiding a coin stuck problem.
- a coin hopper is designed for use in a coin exchange machine, gambling machine, amusement machine or vending machine for sending out or issuing coins or tokens one by one.
- coins or token having 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/tokens.
- the rotating disc 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/tokens are pushed one by one by the pins of the rotating disc toward the coin outlet and then guided out of the coin outlet by the guide member.
- a lever is provided between the rotating disk and the coin outlet for pushing a stacked coin away, avoiding a coin stuck problem.
- FIG. 10 illustrates a coin hopper according to the prior art design.
- the coin hopper comprises a hopper body A , a rotating disk A1 rotatably mounted in the hopper body A and defining a plurality of coin grooves All, an axle A2 and a stop member A3 disposed near the periphery of the rotating disk A1, and a coin-dispensing mechanism B.
- the coin-dispensing mechanism B comprises a spring member B2 , and a lever B1 that has one end thereof pivotally coupled to the axle A2 and a bearing portion B11 located on an opposite end thereof and pressed on the stop member A3 .
- the lever B1 is pivotally coupled to the axle A2 and supported on the spring member B2 .
- these coins C will give different pressure to the lever B1 against the spring member B2 , causing stress concentration.
- the spring member B2 will wear and fail quickly. Further, it is difficult to control the gap between the lever B1 and the coin groove A11 of the rotating disk A1 subject to the thickness of the coin C being delivered.
- coins C may be delivered in a stack, causing a coin stuck problem.
- 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 is practical for dispensing coins/tokens having different thicknesses, preventing a coin stuck problem.

- the coin-delivering presser 2 When assembling the coin hopper, the coin-delivering presser 2 is fastened to the hopper body 111 of the hopper 11 of the coin-dispensing unit 1 adjacent to the coin outlet 110 between the hopper body 111 and the support base 112 by: attaching the mounting flange 223 of the cover member 22 of the coin-delivering presser 2 to the inside wall of the hopper body 111 adjacent to the back opening 113 to aim the mounting through holes 2231 of the cover member 22 at the smoothly arched mounting slot 1131 of the hopper body 111 and then inserting respective screw bolts (not shown) through the mounting through holes 2231 of the cover member 22 at the smoothly arched mounting slot 1131 and fastening respective screw nuts (not shown) to the respective screw bolts to affix the mounting flange 223 of the cover member 22 to the hopper body 111.
- the user can loosen the screw nuts and then move the coin-delivering presser 2 along the smoothly arched mounting slot 1131 to adjust the position of the coin-delivering presser 2 relative to the coin outlet 110 of the hopper 11, and then fasten up the screw nuts after adjustment of the position of the coin-delivering presser 2.
- the float 23 is aimed at the rotating disk 12 and kept apart the rotating disk 12 at a predetermined distance.
- the coin hopper can be used independently.
- the coin hopper can be used in an automatic vending machine, a game machine, or any consumer system for selling consumer services.
- the circuit module 15 After installation of the coin hopper in a main unit of an automatic vending machine, game machine or consumer system, the circuit module 15 is electrically connected to the main unit by a transmission line.
- the circuit module 15 controls the operation of the power drive 13 to rotate the rotating disk 12, and the operation of the sensor module 14 to detect the amount, value and authenticity of coins.
- the sensor module 14 and the circuit module 15 are of the known art and not within the scope of the claims of the present invention, no further detailed description in this regard will be necessary.
- Some other coins 3 or 4 that are squeezed by the stop blocks 1142 of the stopper member 114 are forced to move downwardly along the beveled guide face 1141 to bias the coin ejection mechanism 115, causing the torsion spring 1151 to store elastic potential energy. As soon as squeezing pressure is released from the downwardly moving coins 3 or 4, the torsion spring 1151 immediately forces the coin ejection mechanism 115 to push the coins 3 or 4 out of the coin outlet 110 of the hopper 11.
- the push blocks 1213 of the coin-pushing units 121 of the rotating disk 12 push the coins 3;4 to move to the gap between the float 23 of the coin-delivering presser 2 and the rotating disk 12 in proper order, or to move down along the first bevel wall 221 and second bevel wall 222 of the cover member 22.
- this thick coin 3 pushes the float 23 toward the inside of the accommodation hole 211 of the base member 21 to compress the elastic member 24 due to that the thickness of the thick coin 3 is larger than the distance between the float 23 of the coin-delivering presser 2 and the rotating disk 12, and the float 23 is kept rotating over the thick coin 3 during continuous rotation of the rotating disk 12, enabling the thick coin 3 to be carried to the sensor module 14 adjacent to the coin outlet 110 where the sensor module 14 detect the value and authenticity of the thick coin 3.
- the friction force thus produced between the float 23 and the thick coin 3 is small but sufficient to move the thick coin 3 to the sensor module 14 for recognition.
- the distance between the float 23 of the coin-delivering presser 2 and the rotating disk 12 is larger than the thickness of thin coins 4. If one thin coin 4 is carried by the rotating disk 12 of the coin hopper 1 to the gap between the float 23 of the coin-delivering presser 2 and the rotating disk 12, this thin coin 4 can enter the gap between the float 23 of the coin-delivering presser 2 and the rotating disk 12 directly without pushing the float 23 backwards.
- the rotating disk 12 of the coin hopper 1 carries two stacked thin coins 4 to the coin-delivering presser 2 at the same time, the combined thickness of these two stacked thin coins 4 is larger than the gap between the float 23 of the coin-delivering presser 2 and the rotating disk 12, one of these two stacked thin coins 4 will be peripherally stopped against the float 23 and forced by the float 23 to fall down from the respective coin-pushing unit 121, allowing the other thin coin 4 to be carried to the sensor module 14 for recognition and further dispensing and, avoiding stuck coins.
- the invention provides a coin hopper, which comprises a coin-dispensing unit 1 comprising a hopper 11, a rotating disk 12, a power drive 13, a sensor module 14 and a circuit module 15 for dispensing coins 3;4 having different thicknesses, and a coin-delivering presser 2 mounted in the hopper 11 and comprising an elastic member 24 and a float 24 rotatably supported on the elastic member 24 for pressing the coins 3;4 in the rotating disk 12, enabling the coins 3;4 to be individually and smoothly delivered to a coin outlet 110.
- a coin-dispensing unit 1 comprising a hopper 11, a rotating disk 12, a power drive 13, a sensor module 14 and a circuit module 15 for dispensing coins 3;4 having different thicknesses
