The invention discloses a cam vertical coin sorting device comprising a rotating coin feeding mechanism, a direction-changeable slide device, a mechanical sorting mechanism, and a counting display mechanism. The rotating coin feeding mechanism comprises coin collection boxes, a coin carrying disk, an acrylic spacer, and an iron ring. The direction-changeable slide device comprises a trapezoidal direction-changeable slide, a triangular direction-changeable slide, and a triangular support plate. The mechanical sorting mechanism comprises diamond-shaped spacers, a cam, and a coin push broach. The inclined rotating hole-containing disk type coin feeding mechanism is adopted, independent innovation is made on the spacer, and orderly coin feeding is realized. The direction-changeable slide device is adopted, which enables coins to enter the mechanical sorting mechanism vertically. A cam-connecting rod-broach type sorting technology is adopted, and coins are precisely sorted from small to large according to the radius. Different from previous large classifiers, the cam vertical coin sorting device is simple in manufacturing process, safe, low in cost, accurate in counting, simple in structure, and easy to operate and maintain. The cam vertical coin sorting device is suitable for market promotion and teaching aid application.
