Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coin hopper that drops coins into a through hole of a rotating disk, sorts the coins one by one, and dispenses them and more particularly relates to a small coin hopper having a rotating disk diameter that is approximately two times the diameter of the coin. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a coin hopper that has sufficient mechanical strength at attachment parts of a rotating disk and a rotating shaft.
  • the "coins" used in the present specification include substitute currencies or similar things such as medals and tokens of game machines in addition to coins which are current money.
  • the "small coin hopper” refers to a coin hopper in which the diameter of the rotating disk is approximately two times that of the through hole, and only the single through hole is provided.
  • Small coin hoppers are used in a recycling-type coin receiving/dispensing device of an automatic vending machine (for example, see Japanese Non-Examined Patent Publication No. 2003-196695 ) and a coin change dispenser of a cash register of a supermarket (for example, see Japanese Non-Examined Patent Publication No. H7-306965 ).
  • the sizes of the small coin hoppers used therein are limited due to the relation with installation space, and, if the diameters of the coins are large, the diameter of the rotating disk is approximately two times the through hole, and only the single through hole is provided.

  • 5540190 is a coin hopper having a tubular hopper head storing coins in bulk; a rotating disk disposed in a bottom hole of the hopper head, the rotating disk having a through hole and a pushing part of the coin, the through hole allowing the coin to pass through from an upper surface to a lower surface, the rotating disk tilted at a predetermined angle, having a diameter less than approximately two times the through hole; and a slide base disposed in parallel to a lower side of the rotating disk and allowing the coin pushed by the pushing part to slide thereon; wherein the rotating disk has an at least two-step configuration of an upper step part and a lower step part having an step; the at least two-step configuration has the step formed on a slope; the through hole is formed at an eccentric position of the rotating disk on the lower step part; the step has a smaller radius than the radius of the rotating disk in a planar view; the upper step part forms a circular arc shape having a center on the rotating disk so as to have a crescent shape in a planar
  • a rotating disk is fixed to a rotating shaft serving as a drive shaft by using a screw serving as a fixing member.
  • a screw serving as a fixing member it is fixed by screw-fixing with a screw hole of the rotating shaft in a state in which the screw is inserted in a screw insertion hole formed coaxially with a central axis of the rotating disk. Therefore, the rotating axis of the rotating disk and the axis of the fixing member become coaxial.
  • the fixing member since the through hole of the rotating disk reaches the vicinity of the rotating axis of the rotating disk, the fixing member cannot be coaxially disposed with the rotating axis of the rotating disk, and the fixing member has to be disposed at a position eccentric with respect to the rotating disk. In that case, shear stress acts on the fixing member along with the rotation of the rotating disk, and the fixing member may be fractured due to fatigue. Normally, the rotating disk repeats forward rotation and backward rotation in order to solve coin jamming in the coin hopper. Therefore, the risk of fracture of the fixing member is further increased due to the repetition. If a material having high mechanical strength is used as a material of the fixing member as a countermeasure, the risk of the fracture can be reduced; however, since the fixing member is screws, this cannot be readily used in consideration of workability and cost.
  • GB 2 369 229 A discloses a coin hopper according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • GB 2 378 800 A discloses a disk assembly for rotatably mounting below a coin hopper bowl comprises a resin disk having at least one through hole for receiving coins.
  • US 2007/212997 A1 discloses a remaining coin amount detecting apparatus which is provided for a coin hopper, disposed on a lower portion of a cylindrical storing bowl.
  • JP 2004 068944 A discloses a rotary shaft connecting structure for preventing generation of wear and hitting sound caused by a gap to allow misalignment between both rotary shafts.
  • the present invention has been accomplished in view of the above described circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a coin hopper capable of effectively preventing fracture of the fixing member even if the rotating axis of the rotating disk and the axis of the fixing member are not coaxial. It is another object of the present invention to provide a coin hopper capable of increasing the fixation strength of the rotating disk with respect to the rotating shaft while suppressing increase in cost even if the rotating axis of the rotating disk and the axis of the fixing member are not coaxial.
  • Other objects of the present invention which are not specified herein will be elucidated by below description and accompanying drawings.
  • the coin hopper according to the present invention is configured according to claim 1. Further developments are given by the dependent claims.

  • the fitting projecting part has an approximately rectangular parallelepiped outer shape; and the fitting recessed part is formed by a recessed groove.
  • a coin hopper 100 has a function to sort coins C, which are stored in bulk, one by one and dispense them. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the coin hopper 100 approximately includes a frame part 102, a base part 104, a rotating disk 106, an ejecting part 108, and a hopper head 112.
  • the frame part 102 has a function to support the base part 104, the rotating disk 106, the ejecting part 108, and the hopper head 112.
  • the frame part 102 is injection-molded resin, has a box shape which is approximately right triangular in a lateral view, has an apex part tilted by about 30 degrees, and is approximately square in a planar view.
  • An electric motor, etc. for subjecting the rotating disk 106 to rotary drive is built in the frame part 102.
  • the base part 104 has a function to retain the slide base 114 of the coins C, the ejecting part 108 of the coins C, and the hopper head 112.
  • the base part 104 has a rectangular thick plate shape detachably attached to an top part of the frame part 102 and is injection-molded resin.
  • an approximately circular bottomed guide hole 116 having a diameter close to the full width of the base part 104 is formed.
  • a peripheral wall 117 of the guide hole 116 in the upper side of the tilt of the base part 104 is opened to form an outlet opening 118 of the coins C.
  • the outlet opening 118 of the guide hole 116 is formed at a trapezoidal part 120, which is continued to an upper-side edge 119 of the base part 104.
  • a slope 121 of the trapezoidal part 120 is tilted with respect to an upper-left corner part 122 of the base part 104 in FIG. 2 .
  • the metal-made slide base 114 formed into a shape similar to them is fitted in, and an upper surface of the slide base 114 is formed on the same plane as an outlet upper surface 123 of the base part 104.
  • the rotating disk 106 has a function to sort the coins C, which are in bulk in the hopper head 112, one by one and dispense them. More specifically, the rotating disk 106 is disposed in the vicinity of and parallel to the upper surface of the slide base 114 in a bottom hole 134 of the later-described hopper head 112 and is fixed to a rotating shaft 300, which is rotatably/drivably coupled to an electric motor (not shown) built in the frame part 102. The rotating disk 106 is rotated in a counterclockwise direction in FIG. 2 by the rotation of the electric motor based on dispensing signals of the coins C.
  • This counterclockwise rotation is referred to as forward rotation. If coin jamming occurs and the rotating disk 106 does not rotate even when the electric motor is in a forward rotation mode or if the coin(s) C is not dispensed for predetermined time even when the ordered number of coin(s) C has not been dispensed, in other words, if the ordered number of coin(s) C has not been dispensed and the coin(s) C has not been dispensed for the predetermined time, the rotation of the electric motor is stopped, and the electric motor repeats, a predetermined times, backward rotation (clockwise direction in FIG. 2 ) and forward rotation again.
  • the rotating disk 106 is a thin-plate disk shape, wherein a lower step part 126 and an upper step part 128 are formed.
  • the thickness of the lower step part 126 is formed to be thinner than the thickness of the upper step part 128 as shown in FIG. 5 .
  • the lower step part 126 and the upper step part 128 are formed in parallel to a lower surface 130 of the rotating disk 106. This is for reducing the rotational resistance of the rotating disk 106 caused by the coins C.
  • the lower step part 126 is formed in an oval (rugby ball) shape in a planar view, and one circular through hole 132 penetrating from the upper surface to the lower surface of the rotating disk 106 is formed at an eccentric position of the rotating disk 106 and at a position at which part of the outer edge thereof is adjacent to the periphery of the rotating disk 106.
  • the diameter of the through hole 132 is a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the used coin C and is slightly smaller than the radius of the rotating disk 106.
  • a circumferential surface 133 of the through hole 132 is formed in an upwardly-widened mortar shape. This is for facilitating dropping of the coin C into the through hole 132.
  • the upper step part 128 is formed in a crescent shape at an eccentric position of the rotating disk 106, and an circular-arc-shaped edge thereof is formed in a slope (not shown) having an angle of about 20 degrees with respect to the extended line of the upper step part 128.
  • an upper outer circumferential surface 140 of the upper step part 128 is partially formed in a spindle shape.
  • the upper outer circumferential surface 140 having the spindle shape in this manner is used in order to prevent the coins C from leaning on the inner circumferential surface of the hopper head 112 and being upright.
  • An inward circular arc edge 138 has a second radius R2, which is smaller than a first radius R1 of the rotating disk 106, and is a circular arc having a center CE2 adjacent to the through hole 132 and on the rotating disk 106.
  • a circular upper step part serving as a base of the upper step part 128 is formed by a third radius R3, which is slightly smaller than the first radius R1 of the rotating disk 106, and part of the circular upper step part is removed in an oval shape or adding the crescent-shaped upper step part 128, thereby forming the lower step part 126.
  • the rotating disk 106 is, for example, a sintered object, and the lower step part 126 and the upper step part 128 can be integrally molded.
  • a right-side first end part 142 of the arc edge 138 is in contact with the through hole 132 in the vicinity of the periphery of the rotating disk 106.
  • An intermediate part 144 of the arc edge 138 is positioned in the side closer to the periphery than an axis CE1 of the rotating disk 106.
  • a straight line L connecting a distal end of a left-side second end part 146 of the arc edge 138 and a distal end of the first end part 142 of the arc edge 138 is positioned to be closer to the opposite side of the upper step part 128 than the axis CE1 of the rotating disk 106.
  • the first end part 142 positioned in the rear position side with respect to the forward rotation direction of the rotating disk 106 is in contact with the through hole 132 at a periphery of the rotating disk 106. Therefore, if the coin C, which is in surface-contact with and placed on the lower step part 126, is positioned in the upper side of the slope with respect to the through hole 132, the coin C can slide down the upper surface of the lower step part 126 by the weight of its own and can be dropped into the through hole 132.
  • the coin C rolls and moves to the side of the through hole 132 by the slope of the arc edge 138 and weight of the coin C, the coin which contacted the surface of coin C with the lower step part 126 and stopped by the arc edge 138.
  • the coin C rolled and moved to the side of the through hole 132 is opposed to and dropped into the through hole 132 at the first end part 142 at which the arc edge 138 is in contact with the through hole 132.
  • the arc edge 138 is a slope and is connecting the step between the lower step part 126 and the upper step part 128.
  • a cylindrical-shaped projection 148 is formed at the center of the upper surface of the upper step part 128.
  • the center of the upper surface means the middle in the width direction and the longitudinal direction of a widest part of the crescent-shaped upper step part 128.
  • the projection 148 has a cylindrical shape having a diameter of about 3 millimeters and has a height lower than the thickness of the coin C, and an upper edge thereof is chamfered.
  • the projection 148 can be made of metal and formed by press-fitting a lower end part thereof into a vertical hole, which is bored in the upper step part 128. However, the projection 148 can be also integrally molded with the rotating disk 106. If the coin C is stopped by the projection 148 and is rotated together with the rotating disk 106, when the coin C is positioned approximately above the slope, the coin C slides down the upper surface of the rotating disk 106 and is dropped into the through hole 132.
  • an coin pushing part 152 is formed so as to be adjacent to the through hole 132, be extending from a central part of the rotating disk 106 to a periphery thereof, and form an involute curve having a projecting shape toward the forward rotation direction. Therefore, when the rotating disk 106 is rotated forward, the coin C dropped into the through hole 132 is turned in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 2 while the coin C is pushed by the coin pushing part 152, the peripheral surface of coin C is guided by the peripheral wall 117 of the guide hole 116, and the lower surface of the coin C is guided by the slide base 114.

  • the supporting shaft 168 is disposed in the back surface side of the base part 104.
  • the supporting shaft 168 is turnably supported by a fixed shaft (not shown) in the lower side of the rotating disk 106.
  • the supporting shaft 168 is fixed to a lever (not shown), which is biased in the clockwise direction in FIG. 2 by a spring (not shown).
  • the spring force thereof has an extremely large spring constant with respect to a later-described spring 194 for ejection, and the fixed roller 162 is not moved when in a case of normal dispensing of the coin C. However, if extremely large force works, it can be moved within the range of the long hole 166.
  • the movable roller 172 has a function to eject the coin C, which has been pushed into the part between the movable roller and the fixed roller 162 by the rotating disk 106.

  • the movable roller 172 is subjected to position adjustment within the range of the arc-shaped long hole 184 so that the movable roller 172 is at an optimum position in the relation with the fixed roller 162 with respect to the diameter of the used coin C.
  • a spring stopper 188 is projected upward from an end of the position-adjusting bracket 182, and a second end 192 of the swing lever 176 contacts a lower end of the spring stopper 188 and regulates a standby position (the position of FIG. 2 ) of the movable roller 172 in a standby state.
  • the middle of the helical spring 194 is wound around the outer circumference of the second supporting shaft 174, a first end thereof is stopped by the swing lever 176, a second end thereof is stopped by the spring stopper 188, and turning force in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 2 is applied to the swing lever 176. If the movable roller 172 is positioned at the standby position, the interval between the movable roller and the fixed roller 162 is retained at an interval smaller than the diameter of the coin C. If the coin C guided by the guiding pins 154 is pushed into the part between the fixed roller 162 and the movable roller 172 by the pushing part 152 of the rotating disk 106, the swing lever 176 is turned in the clockwise direction in FIG.

  • the sensor 212 has a function to detect the coin C ejected by the ejecting part 108.
  • the sensor 212 is, for example, a magnetic sensor 214. This is for a reason that the coin C can be detected without being affected by dust, etc.
  • the magnetic sensor 214 has a lateral gate shape and is fixed to a metal-made bracket 226, which is fixed to a lateral surface of the frame part 102, so that the ejected coin(s) C passes through a coin passing part (not shown) between an upper supporting part 218 thereof and a lower supporting part thereof (not shown).

  • the first end surface 301 is positioned so as to be approximately on the same plane as the slide base 114, and the second end surface 302 is projecting from the slide base 114 to the upper side. This is for a reason so that a predetermined gap is formed between the back surface side of the rotating disk 106 and the slide base 114 when the rotating disk 106 is fixed to the second end surface 302.
  • a projecting part 304 having an approximately rectangular shape in a planar view is integrally formed with the rotating shaft 300.
  • the projecting part 304 has an approximately rectangular parallelepiped outer shape having a width W, a length L1, and a height H.
  • the projecting part 304 is disposed to be eccentric to a rotating axis RA of the rotating shaft 300.

  • the acting force in the rotating direction which works between the rotating disk 106 and the rotating shaft 300 is received by the fitting of the lateral surfaces of the projecting part 304 and the lateral surfaces of the recessed groove 323. Therefore, the acting force in the rotating direction which works on the screws 330 is significantly reduced. Therefore, fracture of the screws 330 can be effectively prevented. Moreover, since the projecting part 304 and the recessed groove 323 can be formed upon manufacturing of the rotating disk 106 and the rotating shaft 300, other members are not required, and cost increase can be suppressed as much as possible.
