Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the generation of faults such as a reject, a jam, etc., caused by mixing a foreign matter by providing a means for injecting air to a carrying path of a coin at the time of receiving the coin. CONSTITUTION:When a user throws coins 3 into a receiving/paying port 6, sometimes foreign matters such as cotton refuse, waste thread, etc., are also thrown simultaneously into the receiving/paying port 6, and all of them drop down into a feeder part 7. When the coin is fed into a coin discriminating part 15 in a state that a foreign matter 14 is adhering to the separated coin 13, the inside of the coin discriminating part 15 is clogged with the foreign matter 14, the coin 13 is not carried normally, and faults such as a reject, a jam, etc., are generated. In order to prevent these faults, a nozzle 16 is provided on an inlet part of the coin discriminating part 15 and simultaneously with the money receiving operation, air is injected, and the foreign matter 14 adhering to the coin 13 is eliminated. In such a way, the means for eliminating a foreign matter is provided. Therefore, the generation of a fault caused by the foreign matter 14 at the time of receiving the coin 13 can be prevented.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a coin depositing and dispensing device that automatically deposits and withdraws coins at banks and the like. As described in the report, a disk-shaped feeder is provided in an inclined state, a plurality of bins are provided on this feeder, pins are arranged and at a height such that the coins are scooped up one by one, and the feeder is rotated. By doing so, coins are scooped up one by one, and deformed coins, foreign objects, etc. cannot be scooped up due to the inclination angle and height of the feeder.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Although the above-mentioned conventional technology does remove deformed coins and foreign objects, it cannot be said to be a reliable method of removal, and there is a risk that foreign objects attached to the coin may be scooped up as they are. be. The present invention aims to prevent failures due to foreign matter contamination more reliably than the conventional technology, considering the above-mentioned cases. (111 [Means for Solving the Problem]) In order to achieve the above object, the foreign matter removing means is provided with a means for injecting air, and the foreign matter is removed by the injected air pressure.

[Effect]

When depositing coins, by providing a means to inject air into the coin conveyance path, foreign objects are removed using air pressure, and foreign objects are removed more reliably than before, resulting in failures such as rejects and jams due to foreign objects being mixed in. can be prevented.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external view of an automatic teller machine with a coin depositing and dispensing device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the coin depositing and dispensing device. On the upper part of the customer service surface of the coin deposit/withdrawal device 5, there is a deposit/withdrawal port 6 which serves as a coin receptacle for coin transactions. The coins inserted into the deposit/withdrawal port 6 by the customer are authenticated in units of t by the first feeder 7, and then placed in a temporary stack 8.
It is stacked on . The coins determined to be counterfeit coins are conveyed to the deposit/withdrawal port 6 through a reject path (not shown), the payment belt 11, and the upper conveyance path l2.

When the stacked coins are to be stored as specified by the user, they are conveyed to the second feeder 9, the denomination is determined, and based on the results, the coins are stored in the payout tube IO of each denomination by falling under their own weight. When the money is to be returned as specified by the user, it is transported from the temporary stack 8 to the deposit/withdrawal port 6 via the payment belt ll and the upper conveyance path l2. Figure 3 (.12), (b
) will explain a deposit counting section which is an embodiment of the present invention.

The user inserts the coin 13 into the deposit/withdrawal port 6, but at this time,
Foreign matter l4 such as cotton waste and paper scraps may also be transferred to the deposit/withdrawal LI6 at the same time, and all of them fall into the feeder section 7. Thereafter, the feeder 7 rotates and feeds the coins 13 one by one to the coin discriminating section 15 for denomination discrimination.
When the foreign matter 14 is fed into the coin discriminating section 15, the coin 13 is not conveyed normally, and problems such as rejection and jamming occur. In order to prevent such troubles, a nozzle l6 is provided in the population section of the coin discriminating section 15, and by jetting air at the same time as the deposit operation, the foreign matter 14 attached to the coin 13 is removed and the coin is transferred to the feeder 7 and the bin. 17, the coin is sent to the coin discrimination section l5. After all the coins in the feeder 7 have been transported, the foreign object collection gate 18 opens and the removed foreign object 14 falls under its own weight into the foreign object collection box l9, and at the same time as the foreign object collection gate 18 finishes closing, air is injected. also stops and ends the deposit operation.

By providing a means to remove foreign matter as described above,
It is possible to prevent troubles caused by foreign objects when depositing coins.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent jams caused by foreign objects when depositing coins, and therefore, it is possible to reliably reduce the occurrence of troubles during deposit operations.
