The coin inlet plate 10 is connected with the coin outlet device 80, and is provided with a preset number of first coin dropping holes 110 for dropping game coins output by the coin outlet device 80 from the first coin dropping holes 110 to the coin collecting mechanism 20. The payoff plate 10 is a key component in the gaming coin handling system and is the bridge connecting the payout device 80 and the coin collecting mechanism 20. The main function of the coin inlet plate 10 is to receive the game coins output from the coin outlet device 80 and guide them to the underlying coin accumulating mechanism 20. The coin inlet plate 10 has a structure characterized in that a preset number of first coin falling holes 110 are formed. The arrangement of these first drop holes 110 is carefully designed to ensure that the tokens are evenly distributed in the underlying token mechanism 20. Each first drop hole 110 corresponds to a particular location in the medal collection mechanism 20, and this one-to-one relationship ensures orderly dispensing of the medals. The coin tower which can be stacked in the application is a rotary layered coin tower as shown in fig. 2, and the preset number is the number of game coins contained in each layer. The aperture of the first coin-dropping hole 110 must be slightly larger than the diameter of the coins to ensure that the coins can pass smoothly, but not excessively large, so as to avoid dropping a plurality of coins at the same time. The surface treatment of the coin inlet plate 10 may be antistatic treatment for reducing static electricity accumulation, which may cause adhesion of the game coins. In some embodiments, the coin inlet plate 10 is provided with a coin inlet channel 120, the inlet of the coin inlet channel 120 is connected with the coin outlet device 80, the width of the coin inlet channel 120 is matched with the diameter of the game coins, and the coin inlet channel 120 is positioned above each first coin outlet 110, so that the inlet coin inlet channel 120 falls into the first coin outlet 110 when passing through the empty first coin outlet 110. A coin inlet light eye may be provided at the inlet of the coin inlet passage 120 for determining the number of game coins entering the coin inlet passage 120.

The coin collecting mechanism 20 includes a coin collecting plate 210, a coin stacking plate 220, a positioning core 230, and a predetermined number of sliders 240. The medal collection mechanism 20 is a core component in the medal handling system, and its main function is to receive the medals dropped from the medal feeding plate 10 and arrange them in order into a medal layer. Wherein, the stacking plate 220 and the positioning core 230 are located at the center of the coin collecting plate 210, a predetermined number of second coin dropping holes 221 are formed on the stacking plate 220, and each second coin dropping hole 221 is arranged around the positioning core 230 in an array manner, so as to form a coin layer when each second coin dropping hole 221 has game coins. The coin collecting plate 210 is provided with a preset number of sliding grooves 211, the tail end of the sliding grooves 211 is provided with corresponding second coin dropping holes 221, and the sliding grooves 211 are used for receiving game coins dropped from the corresponding first coin dropping holes 110. The positioning core 230 is provided with positioning grooves corresponding to the sliding grooves 211 one by one, and the positioning grooves are used for enabling the game coins output from the tail end of the corresponding sliding groove 211 to fall into the corresponding second coin falling holes 221. The sliding blocks 240 are in one-to-one correspondence with the sliding grooves 211, and are connected with the first driving module 50, so as to push the game coins received by the corresponding sliding grooves 211 to the corresponding positioning grooves under the driving of the first driving module 50.

It can be understood that, in the coin collecting mechanism 20, the sliding grooves 211 are evenly and symmetrically distributed on the coin collecting plate 210 towards the center of the coin collecting plate 210, and each sliding groove 211 corresponds to one first coin dropping hole 110. When the slider 240 is located at the end of the chute 211, the corresponding first coin-dropping hole 110 will be blocked, and when the slider 240 moves to the head end of the chute 211, the coins drop into the corresponding chute 211 from the first coin-dropping hole 110 of the coin inlet plate 10, and the slider 240 pushes the coins on the chute 211 to the end of the chute 211 under the driving of the first driving module 50. The game coins fall into the corresponding second coin falling holes 221 on the coin stacking plate 220 under the limit action of the corresponding positioning grooves of the positioning cores 230. When each of the second coin drop holes 221 is filled, one coin layer in the coin tower shown in fig. 2 is formed. In some embodiments, a guard inner ring 250 is also provided above the locating core 230 to prevent the coin towers from falling inwardly.

The coin pushing posts 30 have a predetermined number, one end of which is fixed to the elevating swing mechanism 40, and the other end of which extends into the corresponding second coin falling hole 221. The coin pushing post 30 plays an important role in the formation and movement of the coin layer, and can precisely control the game coins in the second coin falling hole 221 under the control of the elevating swing mechanism 40. The diameter of the coin pushing post 30 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the second coin drop hole 221. This design ensures that the ejector pin 30 can freely move up and down in the second drop hole 221 while effectively supporting and moving the game piece. The lifting and swinging mechanism 40 can lift and rotate, so that the lifting and swinging mechanism 40 comprises a lifting platform 410 and a swinging platform 420, the coin pushing posts 30 are arranged on the swinging platform 420, the swinging platform 420 is in sliding connection with the lifting platform 410, the lifting platform 410 drives each coin pushing post 30 to move up and down under the driving of the second driving module 60, and the swinging platform 420 drives each coin pushing post 30 to rotate back and forth around the center for a certain angle under the driving of the third driving module 70.

During the actual stacking process, the number of game coins that can be accommodated in the coin inlet passage 120 is greater than the number of the first coin drop holes 110. Assuming a total of 8 first coin drop holes 110, the coin inlet passage 120 can accommodate 24 coins. The slider can block the corresponding first coin-falling hole 110 at the initial position, so that the corresponding first coin-falling hole cannot fall down. When the slide block 240 slides outwards, 8 coins of the 24 coins respectively fall into the corresponding slide grooves 211, the slide block 240 slides towards the center to push the coins in the slide grooves 211 into the second coin falling holes 221, and meanwhile the coin discharging device 80 starts to discharge coins to complement the 24 coins, so that the coin feeding time is saved. After that, the slider 240 returns to its original position, and then drops into 8 coins to stop. After a coin layer is formed on the coin stacking plate 220, the second driving module 60 drives the lifting platform 410 to lift up, the coin stacking column 30 lifts up a new coin layer, at this time, the stacked coin tower is located above the upper cover plate 90 on the uppermost layer of the whole coin stacking device, the coin layer lifted up by the coin stacking column 30 gradually lifts up, sequentially passes through the coin gathering mechanism 20 and the hole formed in the center of the coin feeding plate 10 for the coin layer, contacts with the stacked coin tower, and becomes the coin layer on the lowest layer of the stacked coin tower, the coin stacking column 30 continuously lifts up the new coin tower until the new coin tower moves to the upper limit, and the third driving module 70 drives the swinging platform 420 to rotate to a deflection position to drive the coin stacking column 30 and the coin tower lifted up by the coin stacking column 30 to rotate together. At this time, the second driving module 60 drives the elevating platform 410 to move to the lower limit, and the coin tower is placed on the upper cover plate 90. As the coin turret is rotated, the next replenished coin layer will be angularly offset from the previous coin layer, thereby accumulating into a rotating layered coin turret. Finally, the third drive module 70 will drive the swing platform 420 to return to the home position, waiting for the lower coin layer stack to be opened. In addition, the method comprises the following steps. A tower protecting outer ring 91 may be further provided at the center of the upper cover plate 90, and the inner diameter of the tower protecting outer ring 91 is larger than the diameter of the coin tower for preventing the coin tower from falling down outwards.

The stacking device in this embodiment ensures that the game coins can be evenly distributed into the coin collecting mechanism 20 by the design of the coin inlet plate 10, and reduces the possibility of blockage and coin jamming. The medal collecting mechanism 20 includes a medal collecting plate 210, a medal stacking plate 220, a positioning core 230 and a slider 240, and forms an ordered medal layer by coaction, thereby improving the processing efficiency of game medals. The design of the coin-pushing post 30 allows for precise control and movement of the coin layers, enhancing the flexibility of the system. The elevating swing mechanism 40 realizes multidimensional control of the coin pushing post 30 through the cooperative work of the elevating platform 410 and the swing platform 420, so that the efficient and cyclic stacking to form the rotary layered coin tower is possible. The whole device can form the coin layer fast by mutually matching all the parts, and the coin stacking efficiency is improved by circulating and efficiently accumulating the coin forming towers, and the coin stacking device can be also suitable for stacking the coin towers with various scales and sizes, and improves the flexibility of stacking the coins.

In one embodiment, the first driving module 50 includes a coin-focusing motor 510 and a first transmission unit, and each slider 240 is connected to the coin-focusing motor 510 through the first transmission unit. It will be appreciated that the coin-focusing motor 510 is a power source of the coin-focusing function, and the power provided by the coin-focusing motor 510 is transmitted to each of the sliders 240 through the first transmission unit so that the sliders 240 can reciprocate on the corresponding sliding grooves 211.

In one embodiment, the first transmission unit includes a meshing gear 520, a power gear 530, and a first transmission. The engagement gear 520 is connected to the coin collecting motor 510, and the power gear 530 is concentric with the coin collecting plate 210 and is engaged with the engagement gear 520. The coin collecting motor 510 may rotate the engagement gear 520, and the engagement gear 520 in turn rotates the power gear 530 around the center of the coin collecting plate 210. The power gear 530 is provided with guide grooves 540 corresponding to the sliding blocks 240 one by one. The shape, size and position of the guide groove 540 directly determine the movement trace of the slider 240. Typically, the guide groove 540 is designed in a curved shape to realize the reciprocating motion of the slider 240. The first driving members are in one-to-one correspondence with the sliding blocks 240, one ends of the first driving members are connected with the sliding blocks 240, and the other ends of the first driving members extend into the guide grooves 540. The guide grooves 540 rotate together when the power gear 530 rotates, and the first transmission member moves under the action of the guide grooves 540 to drive the sliding blocks 240 connected with the first transmission member to move on the corresponding sliding grooves 211. By controlling the rotation direction and each rotation angle of the medal accumulating motor 510, the slider 240 can be moved from the head end to the tail end, pushing the medal to the second medal drop hole 221, and forming a new medal layer. And then moves from the end to the head end, and the reset is completed to wait for the medal dropped from the first medal dropping hole 110. Stacking of the coin towers is completed in a cyclic reciprocation. In order to control the rotation direction and each rotation angle of the coin-focusing motor 510, two micro-switches 550 may be provided to control the forward rotation and the reverse rotation of the coin-focusing motor 510, respectively. That is, after the coin collecting motor 510 drives the slider 240 to move from the head end to the tail end, the micro-motion trigger piece provided on the power gear 530 will contact with one of the micro-switches 550, and the coin collecting motor 510 will stop to continue to operate and change the rotation direction of the coin collecting motor 510. After the slider 240 is driven again from the end to the head, the trigger piece provided on the power gear 530 will contact with another micro motor, and the coin collecting motor 510 will stop to continue to operate and change the rotation direction of the coin collecting motor 510.

In one embodiment, the second driving module 60 includes a lift motor 610 and a second transmission unit 620, and the lift platform 410 is connected to the lift motor 610 through the second transmission unit 620. It can be understood that the lifting motor 610 is a power source for the up-and-down movement of the lifting swing mechanism 40, and the power provided by the lifting motor 610 is transmitted to the lifting platform 410 through the second transmission unit 620, so that the lifting platform 410 can drive the entire lifting swing mechanism 40 to move up and down. In addition, in order to ensure a better up-and-down movement of the elevating platform 410, elevating guide posts 430 connected between the mounting base 92 and the coin collecting plate 210 are respectively provided at four corner points of the elevating platform 410. The mounting base can be used as a base of the whole coin stacking device, provides support for the whole coin stacking device and can also be used as a mounting base of some parts.

The design of the ball joint enables the ball joint to have self-alignment capability, and can compensate installation errors in a system or deformation in a running process to a certain extent. Compared with rigid connection, the ball joint can reduce stress concentration in the movement process and prolong the service life of the system. Thus, the use of the ball joint allows movement of the lift motor 610 to be transferred to the lift platform 410 more smoothly while also increasing the fault tolerance and reliability of the system.

The first blocking piece 411 is located in the detection area of the first photo-eye 413 when the lifting platform 410 moves to the upper limit position, so that the first photo-eye 413 outputs a first in-place signal. After the first in-place signal is detected, the lift motor 610 needs to be controlled to stop driving the lift platform 410 to continue to rise. When the lifting platform 410 moves to the lower limit, the second blocking piece 412 changes from being originally located in the detection area of the second optical eye 414 to exiting the detection area of the second optical eye 414, that is, once the second in-place signal disappears, it can be determined that the lifting platform 410 moves to the lower limit, and it is required to control the lifting motor 610 to stop driving the lifting platform 410 to continue to descend. The first baffle 411 and the second baffle 412 in fig. 1 are two baffles which are arranged parallel and perpendicular to the ground but have different lengths, wherein the length of the second baffle 412 is greater than the length of the first baffle 411.

In one embodiment, the third driving module 70 includes a swing motor 710 and a third transmission unit, and the elevating swing mechanism 40 is connected to the elevating motor 610 through the third transmission unit.
