Wysokinski, Ashton Coin Sorter Challenge - Design Proposal.docxEarly Prototype of the Coin sorter
Early Prototype of the Coin sorter
The three images are the earliest versions of the coin sorter. Simple cardboard hot glued to each other. I quickly found out this was a lazy and weak design.
IMG_3269.MOVInserted is a video of my parts being printed. We can see the hopper being printed... along with the area that hold the unbalanced motor. I used CAD blueprints to give the cutter instructions on what to do.
An image from the CAD software is provided. This is the blueprint to my hopper contraption. Precise cuts will be made to assure the best performance. It was also my first time using an online software like this. It took a couple of minutes to get the hang of but everything went well.
A photograph of me after sottering my engine together.
To the right is a photo of the sottered offset engine attached to the hopper. You can also see my reinforced PVC pipe "legs".
A plastic type material was used inside the hopper, along the ramp, and also in the coin-holding area. My three PVC pipes were attached to my hopper as seen on the base board. The yellow 3D printed ramp is where my coins sort each other. The four different rectangle cuts allow for certain coins to pass through different designated areas.

Testing :
IMG_3603.MOVOne of each coin was placed into the hopper... results were 100% accuracy
IMG_3609.MOVTesting 4 dimes into the hopper... results were 100%
IMG_3619.MOVTesting 4 nickels in the coin sorter... results were 100% accurate
Photographs from my engineering notebook are provided above.
