Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten time for payment by providing a coin throw in saucer where the coin is thrown in, an identification part identifying the coin and a classifying part transmitting the coin to a payment receiver of a change receiver. CONSTITUTION:One or plural coins are thrown into the coin throw in saucer 1 and the coins inserted in the coin throw in saucer 1 are transmitted to an identification part 2 through a carrier line. The identification part 2 identifies the coins, obtains the total amount of the coins which are inserted in the coin throw in saucer 1 and carried to the part 2 so as to display it on a total amount display part 3 and inputs the payment amount to the classifying part 6 through an interface part 9. The classifying part 6 judges whether payment by the thrown in coins is possible or not from the total amount of the thrown in coins and the payment amount and transmits all the thrown in coins to the change receiver 8 when it is impossible. When it is possible, the classifying part 6 classifies the total amount into the payment amount and the change amount, displays the payment amount on a payment amount display part 4, displays the change amount on a change amount display part 5 and also transmits the respective amounts of coins to the payment receiver 7 and the change receiver 8.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a coin automatic payment device, and more particularly to a coin automatic payment device used in a distribution terminal for payment by coin.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional automatic coin payment device is based on the judgment of a person who pays a payment amount.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This conventional coin automatic payment device has a problem that it takes time for a person to calculate the required amount of coins or more, prepare and pay the required number of coins.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An automatic coin payment device according to the present invention is a coin insertion tray into which coins are inserted, an identification unit for identifying coins inserted into the coin insertion tray, and an insertion portion into the coin insertion tray. When the total amount of the paid coins is large as the payment amount, the coins corresponding to the payment amount are sent to the payment tray, and the coins of the amount obtained by subtracting the payment amount from the total amount are sent to the change tray, and the total amount is When the payment amount is less than the payment amount, there is provided a sorting section for sending all the coins inserted into the coin input tray to the change receiving tray.

[0005]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of this apparatus.

One or a plurality of coins are inserted into the coin insertion tray 1. The coins inserted in the coin input tray 1 are sent to the identification unit 2 through the transport path. The discriminating unit 2 discriminates the coins, obtains the total amount of coins that have been inserted into the coin tray 1 and conveyed to the discriminating unit 2, and displays this on the total amount display unit 3. The payment amount is input to the sorting unit 6 through the interface unit 9.

[0008] The sorting unit 6 determines whether payment with coins is possible or not, based on the total amount of coins and the amount paid. When it is impossible, all the inserted coins are sent to the change tray 8. When possible, the total amount is divided into a payment amount and a change amount by the separation unit 6, the payment amount is displayed on the payment amount display unit 4, the change amount is displayed on the change amount display unit 5, and coins of each amount are displayed. It is sent to the payment tray 7 and the change tray 8.

[0009]

As described above, the present invention has an effect that the time for payment can be shortened because the payment by coin is automated.
