Description

Coin components and multimedia interactive devices

This creation provides a coin-dividing component and a multimedia interactive device, especially a coin-dividing component and multimedia interactive device that can support multiple coins.

Some of the current multimedia interactive devices also have the function of coin insertion. Although coin-operated vending machines have been widely used for many years, it is not appropriate to directly apply coin-operated vending machines to multimedia interactive devices. For example, the change of vending machines is stored in a series of multiple change boxes, and the amount of change that can be stored is relatively limited. Vending machine operators can empty the change when replenishing goods daily. However, for multimedia interactive devices, the change transaction is only one of the functions. It is not economical to send personnel to collect the change frequently. In addition, if the change exceeds the storage capacity, it may cause mechanical failure.

The creator then exhausted his mind to study carefully, and then developed a coin component and multimedia interactive device, in order to achieve economic benefits and avoid mechanical failure.

The first aspect of this creation is to provide a coin-dividing component applied to a multimedia interactive device. The coin-dividing component includes: a coin device, including a coin inlet and a plurality of coin outlets, and the coin-dividing device is configured to identify A coin inserted from the coin inlet is fed out, and the coin is transported to the coin outlet corresponding to the coin; and a plurality of tracks, each of which has an entrance corresponding to each coin outlet of the coin dividing device.

The second aspect of the creation is to provide a multimedia interactive device, which includes: an outer shell having an accommodating space; and the above-mentioned coin splitting assembly, the coin inlet of the coin splitting assembly is exposed on the outer shell.

In this way, the coin component and multimedia interactive device created by this invention can provide economic benefits and prevent mechanical failure.

The coin dividing device 110 includes a coin inlet 111 and a plurality of coin outlets 112. The coin dividing device 110 is configured to recognize a coin (not shown) inserted through the coin inlet 111, and then transport the coin to the corresponding coin The currency outlet 112. Each of the rails 120 has an entrance 121 corresponding to each of the coin outlet 112 of the coin dividing device 110, The coin is configured to enter the corresponding track 120 from the corresponding coin outlet 112. Specifically, the coins are sorted after being put into the coin dividing device 110, and the same coin outlet 112 outputs coins of the same denomination and size to the corresponding track 120. . In FIGS. 2 and 3, the number of the coin outlet 112 and the track 120 is four, but it is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. 5, the coin sorting device 110 can be provided with an identification and classification module 116 to identify the authenticity of the coin inserted from the coin inlet 111, for example, a laser is used to detect the grooves on the periphery of the coin or a weighing mechanism The actual weight of the coin is detected to determine whether the weight of the coin matches the weight of the coin value. If it is judged to be a counterfeit coin, the coin is returned to the user through the coin withdrawal port 114 below the coin inlet 111.

The second aspect of this creation is to provide the aforementioned multimedia interactive device 10, which includes an outer casing 11 and the aforementioned coin assembly 100. The outer shell 11 has an accommodating space S, and the coin inlet 111 of the coin dividing assembly 100 is exposed on the outer shell 11.

Through the tracks 120, different coins can be transported down to different locations, which can increase the capacity of the multimedia interactive device 10 to store coins, so that there is no need to frequently dispatch personnel to collect coins. Therefore, the coin dividing assembly 100 and The multimedia interactive device 10 can provide economic benefits and prevent mechanical failures.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in one embodiment, the coin outlets 112 are provided at a bottom 113 of the coin dividing device 110 and are respectively located above the entrances 121 of the rails 120.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, in one embodiment, the coin outlets 112 are used to output coins of different denominations. For example, the four coin outlets 112 shown can output coins of NT$1, NT$5, NT$10, and NT$50 respectively. But it is not limited to this, the number of the coin outlet 112 can be increased or decreased according to actual demand, and it can also be applied to coins of other countries.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, in one embodiment, the multimedia interactive device 10 further includes a plurality of coin storage containers 13, and the coin storage containers 13 correspond to the rails 120 respectively. The tracks 120 respectively have an outlet 122 leading to each of the coin storage containers 13. Specifically, the coin dividing device 110 may be located above each of the coin storage containers 13 as a whole, and each track 120 is inclined downward from the coin dividing device 110 to the corresponding coin storage container 13. Each of the coin storage containers 13 respectively stores a plurality of the same coins, and the coins stored in different coin storage containers 13 are different from each other. Each of the coin storage containers 13 can further extend a change channel 131, and the multimedia interactive device 10 further has a change opening 14. Each of the change channels 131 is connected to the change opening 14 for when there is change When needed, return the coin to the user.
