Abstract:
A troubleshooted coin output method used in a coin dispensing and outputting machine including a machine main unit formed of a coin dispensing unit, a coin hopper consisting of a driver circuit, motors, coin-pushing modules and sensors and a circuit module, and coin tubes for storing coins. When outputting coins, the circuit module counts the amount of coins to be outputted subject to the amount of money to be given, and then stops the coin output operation if the outputted amount of coins does not match the amount of money to be given due to failure or one motor or any other reasons, and then counts the rest amount to be given, and then drives the other motor to output coins till that the desired amount are outputted, thereby troubleshooting the problem.
Abstract:
A bill acceptor capable of reducing light pollution, avoiding errors and faults and enhancing detection accuracy and reliability is disclosed to include a housing defining a bill slot in a face panel thereof, a bill-receiving unit accommodated in the housing and including a holder base defining therein a bill passage in communication with the bill slot, a control module, a transmission mechanism and a recognition circuit assembly, the recognition circuit assembly including a sampling and validating module consisting of a plurality of light emitters and light sensors and controllable by the control module to validate the authenticity and face value of an inserted bill, and privacy filters mounted in a light path in the bill-receiving unit between the bill passage and the light sensors to filtrate external light sources and to let the light emitted by the light emitters pass toward the light sensors.
Abstract:
A coin detector having the characteristics of simple structure, low cost and high recognition speed is disclosed to include a housing defining therein a coin passage, and a circuit module, which uses an optical pickup device consisting of an optical module and an analog-to-digital converter to detect the number and pitch of the parallel lines and grooves of the reeded edge of each inserted coin and a microprocessor to determine the authenticity and value of each inserted coin by means of comparing the data of the sensed number of pitch of parallel lines and grooves with a predetermined reference data.
Abstract:
A compact size bill and coin acceptor for use in an automatic vending machine or game machine is disclosed to include a face panel having a bill slot, a coin slot and a coin-return slot, a first housing that comprises a bill passage, a power drive mechanism adapted for transferring an inserted bill from the bill slot through the bill passage and a bill recognition module adapted for recognizing the authenticity and value of an inserted bill, and a second housing that comprises a coin passage in communication with the coin slot, a coin sensor module and an optical recognition device adapted for sensing the authenticity and value of an inserted coin, a driven gear set for assisting transfer of an inserted bill through the bill passage, a coin-return passage in communication with the coin-return slot and a gate movable by an electromagnetic valve to open the passage between the coin passage and the coin-return passage.
Abstract:
A bill box for use in a bill acceptor having a RFID read/write module and adapted for receiving bills from the bill acceptor is disclosed to include a housing having a bracket provided with locating grooves, bottom plates, stop plates, finger slot and stop grooves and suspending therein and dividing the internal space of the housing into a bill storage chamber and a partition chamber, and a memory carrier provided with stop blocks, retaining lugs, springy retainer and stop strips for quick mounting in the bracket in a detachable manner and carrying a wireless memory device for recording bill storage data by the wireless read/write module of the bill acceptor wirelessly for quick data check.
Abstract:
A bill box for use in a bill acceptor having a RFID read/write module and adapted for receiving bills from the bill acceptor is disclosed to include a housing having a bill inlet, a bill storage chamber and a top bracket with a mounting chamber, and a memory carrier frame mounted in the mounting chamber of the bracket and carrying a RFID memory for recording bill storage data by the wireless read/write module of the bill acceptor wirelessly for quick bill storage check.
Abstract:
A bill acceptor includes a bill acceptor body defining therein a bill passage, a bill slot panel mounted on the front side of the bill acceptor body and defining a bill insertion slot for the insertion of a bill into the bill passage, a bill box located on the rear side of the bill passage, a transmission mechanism for transferring an acceptable bill through the bill passage toward the bill box, a bill recognition unit for checking the authenticity and face value of an inserted bill, a bill pressing device for pushing each acceptable bill away from the bill passage into the inside of the bill box, two first adjustment devices for mounting on two opposite lateral sides of the bill passage to adjust the width of the bill passage to one of a set of bill passage widths, and two second adjustment devices for mounting on the inside of the bill slot panel at two opposite lateral sides relative to the bill insertion slot to adjust the width of the bill insertion slot subject to the bill passage width defined by the first adjustment devices.
Abstract:
A bill acceptor includes a main body attached with a bill box at the back side, a transmission mechanism for carrying a bill or license into a passage in the main body for examination by a recognition unit inside the main body and returning the rejected bill or examined license and carrying the examined bill to the bill box, and a face panel, which is fastened to the front side of the main body and has an insertion slot for the insertion of a bill/license into the passage and a finger guide portion disposed at one lateral side of the insertion slot for the insertion of a finger to bias a jammed license out of the insertion slot.
Abstract:
A face panel assembly is disclosed having a mounting flange for detachably fastening to a bill/coin acceptor in an automatic vending machine, a slot for the insertion of a bill/coin into the bill/coin acceptor, and a RFID module, which has a sensor for sensing a RFID stored-value card for enabling the RFID module to fetch stored data from the RFID stored-value card and to transmit the fetched data to the automatic vending machine, and a transmission interface (wired or wireless type) for communication between the RFID module and the automatic vending machine.
Abstract:
A bill acceptor in which a bill box has a baffle pivoted to the box body thereof at one side of a bill entrance of the box body and torsional springs bilaterally coupled between the baffle and the box body to bias the baffle toward a spring-supported bill-receiving bearing board inside the bill box so that the baffle allows a inserted bill to be moved onto the bill-receiving bearing board by a bill-pressing device in a bill acceptor main unit of the bill acceptor and immediately holds the bill positively on the bill-receiving bearing board after retrieval of the bill-pressing device.
