Corier Yamato Coin Sorter Challenge - Design Proposal (Repaired).docxInformation was needed in order to figure out what was needed to make a faster automatic coin sorting system. The coins height, weight, diameter, how thick it is decides the exact holes that are needed in order for this to even work.
These were my original design sketches, but crossed one out because there were suspicions that it wouldn't work because there is no way for it to sort with 100% accuracy if the coin is standing on its side.
In order to make it automatic I would need to use a imbalanced motor to create a vibrating effect in order for the coin to move to where it actually gets sorted on the slide.
This was the first design for my hopper but then realized that It would be too big and too thin for it to be more useful
The original Prototype of the Coin sorter, This prototype would constantly fail to sort 100% of the time.
The Hopper was not angled enough to give the coins when vibrating the push that it needs for it to fall through the machine.
The problem with this design was that it was not flexible enough so all of the coins would start to shake and fall into the machine sideways.
20221014_142413.mp4This was the first test recorded using phone,
It failed almost all of the coins and they all went to the wrong spot. As you can see from the slow motion the problem is that the coin would bounce around in the tunnel as the coin flows down preventing it from going into its hole.
I recorded 9 tests and counted every single coin that landed into the box . The dashes mean that none of the coins landed in that box.
Original sketches of the side panels and the hopper.
the boxes with the coins names are the exact height of each of the coins
This is a simplified version of the days that I had been working on the project. The other days that were not listed was redesigning and more research on how to improve the machine that I would make.
