More specifically, at the left end of the conveying member 23, a surface opposite to the surface on which the left end concave-convex surface 23b is formed, that is, a surface opposite to the surface in contact with the outer surface of the left-side conveying belt 22L, is formed in a curved shape protruding outward, and a curved surface 23d is formed. Further, at the right end of the conveying member 23, a surface opposite to the surface on which the right end concave-convex surface 23a is formed, that is, a surface opposite to the surface contacting the outer surface of the right side conveying belt 22R is formed in a curved shape protruding outward, and a curved surface 23d is formed.
The guide member 24 is a member constituting a main body of the conveying apparatus, and includes a left guide member 24L and a right guide member 24R forming a pair on the left and right. The left guide member 24L has a left guide base 241a and a left guide restricting portion 242 a.
The left guide base 241a is disposed on the left side of the left conveyor belt 22L, and covers the left side of the left conveyor belt 22L. In addition, an appropriate opening is formed in the left guide base 241 a. The left guide restricting portion 242a is integrally provided on the left guide base portion 241a so as to face the outer surface of the left conveyor belt 22L. That is, the left guide member 24L is provided so as to surround the left conveying belt 22L in a state in which a part thereof is opposed to the outer surface of the left conveying belt 22L.
The left guide base portion 241a of the left guide member 24L restricts movement of the conveying member 23 to the left relative to the left conveying belt 22L and separates from the conveying belt 22, and the left guide restricting portion 242a restricts movement of the conveying member 23 to any one of the upper, lower, front, and rear relative to the left conveying belt 22L and separates from the conveying belt 22.

That is, the right guide member 24R is disposed so as to surround the right carrying belt 22R in a state where a part thereof is opposed to the outer surface of the right carrying belt 22R.
The right guide member 24R is separated from the conveyor belt 22 by the right guide base portion 241b restricting the movement of the conveyor member 23 to the right with respect to the right conveyor belt 22R, and is separated from the conveyor belt 22 by the right guide restricting portion 242b restricting the movement of the conveyor member 23 to any one of the upper, lower, front and rear with respect to the right conveyor belt 22R.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the counterfeit note feeding flapper 25 is provided on a conveying base 27, and the conveying base 27 is provided between a pair of left and right conveying belts 22. More specifically, the counterfeit note feeding flapper 25 is swingably provided at a front edge portion of a counterfeit note passage opening 26, and the counterfeit note passage opening 26 is formed in the conveyance base 27. Here, the counterfeit money passing opening 26 has a sufficient size to allow the passage of coins. The coins that have passed through the counterfeit passage opening 26 are placed on the bottom portion 20a1 (see fig. 2) that constitutes the conveying apparatus main body together with the guide member 24.
Such a counterfeit note sending-out flapper 25 is normally closed in such a manner as to restrict the passage of coins through the counterfeit note passing opening 26 as shown in fig. 7. Then, as shown in fig. 8, by driving the shutter drive mechanism 28, the counterfeit money sending shutter 25 swings in the opening direction to open the counterfeit money passing opening 26. Here, the shutter drive mechanism 28 receives a drive command from the control unit 60, drives the counterfeit money sending shutter 25 to allow the counterfeit money sending shutter 25 to swing in the opening direction, and receives a stop drive command from the control unit 60, stops driving the shutter to allow the counterfeit money sending shutter 25 to close the counterfeit money passing opening 26.
As shown in fig. 2, 3, and 5, the authentication unit 30 is provided at a position further to the front side than the counterfeit money passage opening 26 at a position further to the rear side than the separating unit 10. The discrimination unit 30 detects the characteristics of the coin when the coin conveyed backward by the conveying unit 20 passes through a predetermined discrimination region, discriminates the authenticity and denomination of the coin, and applies the discrimination result to the control unit 60 as a discrimination signal.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the guide member 40 is provided in an upper portion of the counterfeit note passage opening 26 which constitutes the top 20a2 of the carrier main body together with the guide member 24 and the bottom 20a 1. As shown in fig. 7 and 8, the guide member 40 includes a guide shaft portion 41 and a guide action portion 42.
The guide shaft portion 41 is a columnar member extending in the left-right direction. The guide acting portion 42 is a portion extending radially outward of the guide shaft portion 41, more specifically, rearward.
In the guide member 40, the guide shaft portion 41 is mounted on the guide support piece 20a4 such that the guide acting portion 42 passes through the guide opening 20a3 (see fig. 2 and 3) formed in the ceiling portion 20a2, and the guide support piece 20a4 is provided on the ceiling portion 20a2, whereby the guide member 40 is provided swingably about the center axis of the guide shaft portion 41.
To describe in more detail, the guide member 40 is provided to be swingable so that the lower end portion of the guide operation portion 42 can move in and out of the passage area of the coin transported rearward by the transported portion 20, and normally, the lower end portion of the guide operation portion 42 is in a posture of moving forward to the passage area. When the counterfeit passing gate 26 is closed by the counterfeit money sending flapper 25, the guide member 40 is pressed by the coin passing through the passing area, and swings so as to retreat from the passing area, thereby allowing the coin to pass rearward, whereas when the counterfeit passing gate 26 is opened by the counterfeit sending flapper 25, the guide member 40 abuts against the coin passing through the passing area, thereby guiding the coin to the counterfeit passing gate 26.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the guide path forming portion 50 is provided behind the conveying pulley 21b constituting the rear side of the conveying portion 20. The guide path forming portion 50 includes a guide path 51, and the guide path 51 is continuous with a rear end portion of the conveyance portion 20 in one direction. The guide path 51 is curved rightward as it is separated from the rear end of the transport unit 20, gradually inclines downward, guides the coins transported to the rear end by the transport unit 20, and guides the coins to the coin transporting device 1b, which is a predetermined area on the downstream side.
As shown in fig. 9, the guide path forming portion 50 is provided with a guide rotating body 52 so as to face the guide path 51. The guide rotator 52 includes: a guide rotation shaft 521, the guide rotation shaft 521 extending in the front-rear direction; and a plurality of dial portions 522, which are provided integrally with the guide rotation shaft 521 (two dial portions 522 in the illustrated example) and are rotatable around the center axis of the guide rotation shaft 521.
The guide rotating shaft 521 of the guide rotating body 52 is connected to the rear conveying pulley 21b via the rotation transmitting unit 53. The rotation transmission unit 53 transmits the rotational force of the conveying pulley 21b on the rear side to the guide rotation shaft 521.
Thereby, when the rear conveyor pulley 21b rotates, the guide rotating body 52 rotates in the clockwise direction as viewed from the rear side. That is, the guide rotor 52 is rotated by a drive force applied from a drive source (conveyance motor 21c) common to the conveyance unit 20, and the coins introduced into the guide path 51 are guided to the coin conveyance device 1b by the rotation.
In the coin testing device 1a having the above-described configuration, a plurality of coins are inserted through the coin insertion unit 2, and an operation command is issued from a coin processing main control unit, not shown, which collectively controls the operation of the coin processing machine 1, to the control unit 60, and the control unit 60 issues a drive command to the conveyance motor 21 c.
Thus, the conveying motor 21c is driven, and the conveying pulley 21 rotates counterclockwise as viewed from the left in the conveying section 20, thereby displacing the conveying belt 22 in the extending direction. By the rotation of the conveyor pulley 21, the guide rotating body 52 also rotates in the clockwise direction as viewed from the rear. On the other hand, the coins fed through the coin insertion section 2 are supplied to the conveying section 20 in a state of being separated one by the separating section 10.
The coins supplied to the conveying unit 20 are placed on the upper surface of the conveying base 27 in a horizontal posture. Since the transport belt 22 is displaced in the extending direction thereof as described above, the transport member 23 fixed to the transport belt 22 pushes the coin placed on the upper surface of the transport base 27 rearward, and transports the coin rearward.
Here, since the surface 23c of the conveying member 23 facing the downstream side in the displacement direction of the conveying belt 22 is formed in a V shape, the surface 23c facing the downstream side becomes a surface that presses the coin by the displacement of the conveying belt 22 and can convey the coin backward in a state of being close to the center portion in the left-right direction, as shown in fig. 5.
In this way, the coin is conveyed in the backward direction while being pressed by the conveying member 23, and when the conveyed coin reaches the discrimination area of the discrimination unit 30, the discrimination unit 30 discriminates the authenticity and the face value of the coin. The discrimination unit 30 sends the discrimination result to the control unit 60 as a discrimination signal.
When the discrimination signal from the discrimination unit 30 is inputted to the control unit 60 and the discrimination result is a genuine bill, the control unit 60 does not give a drive command to the shutter drive mechanism 28b and maintains the closing of the counterfeit bill passage opening 26 by the counterfeit bill delivery shutter 25.
Thus, the coin passing through the discrimination region and being conveyed rearward in a state of being pressed by the conveying member 23 passes through the upper surface of the counterfeit money sending flapper 25 as shown in fig. 7, and is conveyed to the rear end portion (conveying end portion). The coin transported to the rear end portion as described above is introduced into the guide path 51, and is guided to the coin transporting device 1b by the inclination of the guide path 51 and the rotation of the guide rotor 52.
On the other hand, the control unit 60 receives the authentication signal from the authentication unit 30, and issues a drive command to the flapper drive mechanism 28b when the authentication result is a genuine bill. Thereby, the shutter drive mechanism 28b is driven, and the counterfeit bill delivery shutter 25 swings in the opening direction to open the counterfeit bill passage opening 26. When the counterfeit note passage opening 26 is opened by the counterfeit note feeding flapper 25, the coin which has passed through the discrimination region and is conveyed rearward in a state of being pressed by the conveying member 23 passes through the counterfeit note passage opening 26 and drops downward while coming into contact with the guide member 40 to change its posture. Thus, the coin falling downward is placed on the bottom portion 20a1 of the conveying device body in a horizontal posture.
Further, the lower portion of the conveying belt 22 is displaced forward by the rotation of the conveying pulley 21. Therefore, as shown in fig. 6, since the conveying member 23 fixed to the conveying belt 22 moves forward below the conveying unit 20, the coin placed on the bottom portion 20a1 can be conveyed in a state where it is pressed forward by the conveying member 23. At this time, since the surface 23c of the conveying member 23 facing the downstream side in the displacement direction of the conveying belt 22 is formed in a V shape, the coin can be conveyed rearward while being close to the center portion in the left-right direction.
In this way, the conveying unit 20 feeds out the coins (counterfeit coins) conveyed forward to the discharge unit (not shown). The discharge unit feeds the coins discharged to the discharge unit to the coin discharge unit 4, and discharges the coins to the outside from a coin discharge port 4a (see fig. 1) provided in the coin discharge unit 4.
After the coin identified as the counterfeit coin passes through the counterfeit coin passage opening 26, the control section 60 issues a stop drive command to the flapper drive mechanism 28. Thereby, the counterfeit bill passage opening 26 is closed by the counterfeit bill discharge shutter 25.
As described above, the coin testing device 1a discriminates the authenticity and denomination of the coin inserted through the coin insertion unit 2, feeds out the coin discriminated as a genuine coin to the coin transporting device 1b, and discharges the coin discriminated as a counterfeit coin to the outside through the coin discharge unit 4.
Further, according to the coin testing device 1a, since the conveying unit 20 conveys the inserted coin backward in a horizontal posture and conveys the coin discriminated as a counterfeit coin by the discriminating unit 30 forward in a horizontal posture, and the guide path forming unit 5 provided at the rear end of the conveying unit 20 forms the guide path 51, the guide path 51 guides the coin conveyed to the rear end to the coin conveying device 1b, the length of the conveying unit 20 in the front-rear direction can be reduced. Therefore, the entire device can be downsized.
According to the coin testing device 1a, the guide rotating body 52 provided rotatably around the center axis of the guide rotating shaft 521 so as to guide the coin guided to the guide path 51 is rotated by the driving force applied from the driving source shared with the conveying unit 20, and the coin guided to the guide path 51 is guided to the coin conveying device 1b, so that the coin guided to the guide path 51 can be favorably fed to the coin conveying device 1b, and the coin fed to the coin conveying device 1b can be prevented from flowing backward to the coin testing device 1 a.
According to the coin testing device 1a, since the surface of the conveying member 23 constituting the conveying unit 20 that presses the coin by the displacement of the conveying belt 22 is formed in a V shape, the coin can be conveyed in a state of being close to the center portion in the left-right direction, and thereby the coin can be stably conveyed in a state of restricting the conveying position of the coin, and the discrimination accuracy of the discriminating unit 30 can be improved.
While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various modifications can be made.
In the above-described embodiment, the guide rotating body 52 is provided so as to face the guide path 51 of the guide path forming portion 50, but in the present invention, the guide rotating body may not be provided.
