Description
SPECIFICATION
Safety Device for a eoin Changer
This invention relates to a coin changer employed in a vending machine or the like apparatus and, more particularly, to an improved coin changer equipped with a safety device for a detachable cassette type coin tube.
A coin changer is a device comprising a coin discriminating device for discriminating deposited coins, coin tubes for receiving discriminated coins and a control device for controlling acceptance of deposited coins and payout of coins from the coin tubes. In a conventional type of coin changer, coin tubes are fixedly mounted in the main body of the coin changer. It has recently been proposed to make a cassette type coin tube separately from the main body of the coin changer and detachably mount this cassette type coin tube to the main body. The cassette type coin tube is advantageous in that collection of coins accumulated in the coin tube and supply of reserve coins to be used as change money to the coin tube can be efficiently carried out.In the cassette type coin tube, however, there is likelihood of occurrence of such errors that the vending machine is inadvertently brought into operation without remounting a detached coin tube or with the detached coin tube remounted in the coin changer only inadequately. If a coin is deposited in the vending machine in a state wherein the coin tube is not mounted in a proper position in the coin changer, the deposited coin is misled in an improper place in the coin changer resulting in occurrence of a malfunction and inability of returning the coin to the purchaser.
It is also conceivable that an erroneous operation as will be described below will occur in a case where the cassette type coin tube is not mounted in a right position. Known in the art is a vending machine in which an auxiliary tube is attached to a coin changer, the auxiliary tube storing reserve change coins for supplying coins when coins stored in the main coin tube is reduced below a predetermined number and thereby preventing exhaustion of the change coins in the main coin tube. In this type of known coin changer, an emptiness detection device is provided for the coin tube and outputting a signal if the stored coins are reduced below the predetermined number to supply coins from the auxiliary tube to the coin tube.In the coin changer employing the cassette type coin tube, however, detaching of the coin tube from the coin changer gives rise to a condition which is the same as exhaustion of coins in the coin tube and this causes the emptiness detection device to be actuated to deliver out coins from the auxiliary tube despite absence of the coin tube in the coin changer.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a safety device for a coin changer employing a cassette type coin tube capable of avoiding the above described malfunctions which can occur when the coin tube is not mounted in a proper position.
It is another object of the invention to provide a safety device for a coin changer capable of preventing occurrence of manfunctions of erroneous operations of the coin changer by interrupting a passage of a deposited coin and thereby rejecting acceptance of the deposited coin when the cassette type coin tube is not mounted in a proper position.
It is still another object of the invention to provide a safety device for a coin changer in which an emptiness detection signal generated by an emptiness detection device is disregarded when the cassette type coin tube is not mounted in a proper position and supply of coins from an auxiliary tube is inhibited.
The above described primary object of the present invention can be achieved by providing means for detecting whether or not the cassette type coin tube is mounted in a proper position of the coin changer and securing a safe operation of the coin changer in accordance with this detection. The detection means can be constructed of a switch which is actuated when the cassette type coin tube has been mounted in the proper position in the coin changer. The second object of the invention can be achieved by providing the safety device with control means which, upon detection by the above described detection means of a state in which the cassette type coin tube is not mounted in the proper position in the coin changer, operate to interrupt the coin passage leading to a coin discriminating device and thereby reject acceptance of the deposited coin.The third object of the invention can be achieved by further providing the safety device with control means which, upon detecting by the above described detection means of a state in which the cassette type coin tube is not mounted in the proper position, operate to inhibit a coin payout device in the auxiliary tube.
In the accompanying drawings;

Figure 2 is a circuit diagram showing relationship between a coin tube mounting detection switch and a coin rejection electromagnetic control unit in Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a perspective view showing in detail an essential portion of another embodiment of the safety device for a coin changer according to the invention with a cassette type coin tube being detached from the main body of the coin changer;
Figure 4 is a sectional view of an essential portion of the coin changer with the cassette type coin tube being mounted in a coin tube receiving portion of the coin changer;;
Figure 5 is a schematic view showing a state in which an auxiliary tube is additionally provided in the coin changer shown in Figure 3; and
Figure 6 is a diagram showing an example of a driving circuit of a coin payout device provided in the auxiliary tube shown in Figure 5.
Referring first to Figure 1 which schematically shows the outside view of a coin changer 110, a coin discrimination device 112 is mounted in an upper portion of a coin changer main body 111 and a cassette type coin tube 113 is mounted in a lower portion of the coin changer main body 111.
The coin tube 113 is detachable from the main body 111 and Figure 1 shows the coin tube 113 in a detached state. In a state wherein the coin tube 113 is completely mounted in the main body 1 outlets of passages of discriminated cons in the coin discrimination device 112 register with inlets of respective tubes of the coin tube 113.
In the state in which the coin tube 113 is completely mounted in the main body 111, coins which have fallen in a coin inlet 114 are discriminated between true coins and counterfeit coins and the true coins are further discriminated by denominations and thereafter are received in the respective tubes of the coin tube 113. In the ambodiment shown in Figure 1, the coin tube 113 comprises four tubes corresponding to respective denominations. A device for paying out coins from a desire tube is provided in the lower portion of the coin tube 11 3 illustration of which is omitted in Figure 1. For detecting whether the coin tube 113 is accurately mounted in a proper position in ihe coin changer main body 111, a coin tube mounting detection switch 115 is provided in a suitable position in the coin changer.For example, the coin tube 113 has a projection 1 1 3a corresponding to the switch 11 5 so that the projection 11 3a actuates the switch 1 15 only when the coin tube 113 is completely mounted in the main body 111. The switch 11 5 is not limited to a mechanical type switch but may be a noncontacting type switch.
In Figure 2, the switch 1 5 is turned on and produces an output "0" only when the coin tube itas 13 has been completely mounted in a proper position of the main body 111. When the coin tube 113 is detached from or incompletely mounted in the main body 111, the switch 11 5 is in as an ofr & te and produces an output "1". The output of the switch 115 is applied to a coin rejection electrnmagnetic control unit (C.R.E.M) 11 6. The control unit 1 16 is actuated to interrupt like coin inlet 114 whei a signal provided by an
OR gate 117 is "1".The OR gate 117 receives at another input thereof a coin deposition prohibition signal generated by a control circuit (not shown) in the coin changer 110.
According to the above described construction, the switch 11 5 produces a signal "1" if the coin tube 113 is not accurately mounted in the proper position of the main body 111 and the coin inlet 114 thereby is shut off for rejecting the deposited coin. If, accordingly, the vending machine is opaeated in a state wherein the coin tube is not mounted in the main body through inadvertence or is mounted only incompletely in the main body, the purchaser cannot deposit a coin in the vending machine so that a malfunction caused by stuffing of coin in an improper place and a trouble caused by inability of returning a deposited coin can be completely prevented.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, a passage for coins to be returned (not shown) is formed in a side or rear portion of the coin changer main body 111 (i.e., a place which is irrelevant to mounting of the coin tube 1 13), and a coin thrown in the coin inlet 114 can be directed to the coin return passage by the electromagnetic control unit 116 for rejecting it. If the coin return passage in the coin changer 110 is formed in the coin tube 113, a coin cannot be returned by operation of the electromagnetic control unit 1 6 if the coin tube 113 is detached' from the main body of the coin changer 110.In such construction, a coin rejection electromagnetic control unit (not shown) should be provided at a coin slot (not shown) formed in a main body of the vending machine which coin slot is provided, so to speak, in a former stage of the coin inlet 114 formed in the coin changer 110 and can be interrupted by actuating the electromagnetic control unit by an output of the
OR gate 11 7 (Figure 2) for physically disabling insertion of a coin into the coin slot. The vending machine generally is so constructed that a coin thrown in the coin slot of the main body of the vending machine is led to the coin inlet 114 of th- coin changer 110 through a suitable=passage.
Another embodiment of the safety device according to the invention will be,described with reference to Figures 3 through 6. In Figure 3, illustration of the coin discriminating device provided above the coin tube 10 is omitted.
In Figure 3, the cassette type coin tube 1 fi is composed of integrally formed parallel coin tubes 11-14 for storing coins to be used as change money. The respective tubes 11-14 have an open upper end 1 Oa and a coin base 1 5 secured at a lower end 1 Ob of the coin tube 10 for supporting stored coins.A payout slide 16 for taking out a coin is provided between open lower ends of the coin tubes 11-14 and the coin base 1 5. The payout slide is slidable in the directions of arrows A-A'. The payout slide is of the.same thickness as coins and has openings 1 6a formed in positions corresponding to the respective coin tubes 11-14, each opening 1 spa receiving the lowest coin among coins stacked in the coin tubes 1 1-14.Apertures 16b, 16b' of the payou: slide 16 fit with levers 26, 26' provided in a coin tube receiving portion 20a of a coin changer main body 20 when the coin tube 10 is mounted in the receiving portion 20a. In paying out coins, the payout slide 1 6 is driven in the direction of the arrow A-A' to take out the coins received in the openings 1 6a from the respective tubes 1 1 11-14.
Pins 17 are provided vertically movably in slots 1 Of formed in the center of both sides 1 Od and 1 Oe of the cassette type coin tube 10. The pins 1 7 are usually urged to the upper ends of the slots 1 Of (i.e., in the direction of arrow B) by the force of springs (not shown). These pins 1 7 can be pushed down to the lower ends of the siots 1 Of (i.e., in the direction of arrow B') against the force of the springs. There are also pins 1 8 fixedly secured at about the center of the lower end portions of both sides 1 Od and 1 Oe.
A push plate 1 9 is formed at a suitable place on a rear portion 1 Oc of the coin tube 10, e.g.
about a center of the outer rear surface of the tube 12, in such a manner that the push plate 19 is disposed in parallel to this tube 12 and is substantially flush with the rearmost position of the outer periphery of the respective tubes 11 - 14. This push plate 1 9 is provided for pushing an actuator 31 of a safety switch 30 (Figure 4).
One of the tubes 11-14, e.g. the tube 13, is formed at the lower rearmost portion of the outer periphery thereof with a recessed portion 13a.
This recessed portion 1 3a is formed for enabling a detection surface 41 a of an emptiness detector 40 (Figure 4) to come into contact with the tube 1 3 and is located at a lower position than the push plate 1 9. The cassette type coin tube 10 is composed in the above described manner.
The coin changer main body 20 is formed with the coin tube receiving portion 20a for receiving the cassette type coin tube 10 and also with recesses 27 and 28 for engaging with the pins 1 7 and 1 8 in side portions 20d and 20e, at positions corresponding to the pins 1 7 and 18. The recesses 27 have guide portions 27a and oblique portions 27b adjacent to the guide portions 27a.
The recesses 28 have guide portions 28a and vertical portions 28b adjacent to the guide portions 28a.
A partition 20c which dfines the receiving portion 20a is formed with an opening 21 at a position opposite to the push plate 1 9 of the coin tube 10. The actuator 31 of the safety switch 30 (Figure 4) is projecting through this opening 21.
The actuator 31 is horizontally slidably supported by a support portion 22a formed on the rear surface of the partition 20c and is biased in the direction of an arrow C by a spring 33 provided between a rear portion 31b of the actuator 31 and the partition 20c. The tip portion 31 a of the actuator 31 therefore projects in the receiving portion 20a. A magnet 32 is buried in the rear portion 31 b of the actuator 31 and a reed switch 34 is provided at a position opposite to the magnet 32 on base 23. This reed switch 34 is connected to a motor driving circuit (Figure 6) of a coin payout device 65 provided in an auxiliary tube (60 Figure 5) and turned on when the actuator 31 is displaced rearwardly, i.e. in the direction of arrow C and approaches the reed switch 34.
The partition 20c of the receiving portion 20a is formed with an opening 24 at a position opposite to the recess 1 3a of the coin tube 13 in the lower portion of the partition 20c. The emptiness detector 40 is provided in the opening 24. The emptiness detector 40 is composed, for example, of a circular coil and a signal of a predetermined high frequency is applied to the coil for detecting existence of a coin in the tube by change in impedance. The emptiness detector 40 is covered by rubber or like material (not shown) and is supported on a horizontal pin 43 (Figure 4).
The emptiness detector 40 is pivotable about the pin 43 and is also displaceable forwardly and rearwardly, i.e., in the direction of arrows C, C' by a limited distance. The emptiness detector 40 is urged at its rear portion 40b by a spring portion 42a (Figure 14) of an emptiness detector support 42 so that the detection surface 40a projects in the receiving portion 20a through the opening 24 and is inclined slightly leftwardly as viewed in
Figure 4.
The emptiness detector 40 produces an emptiness signal if the coins stored in the tube 13 decrease to a level indicated by a chain-and-dot line 51 and thereby closes an emptiness switch 50 connected to the motor driving circuit of the coin payout device 65.
The coin tube receiving portion 20a, the safety switch 30 and the emptiness detector 40 are composed in the above described manner.
After a predetermined number of coins are loaded in each of the tubes 11-14, the cassette type coin tube is disposed in front of the receiving portion 20a such that its rear portion 1 Oc faces the partition 20c of the receiving portion 20a.
Then, the pins 1 8 on both sides of the coin tube 10 are fitted into the vertical portion 28b of the corresponding recess 28 of the receiving portion 20a through the guide portions 28a. Nextly, the upper portion of the front portion 1 Og of the coin tube 10 is pushed and pivoted about the pins 1 8 toward the receiving portion 20a and the pins 1 7 on both sides of the coin tube 10 are fitted into the oblique portions 27b of the corresponding recesses 29 of the receiving portion 20a through the guide portions 27a. In fitting the pins 17 to the recesses 27, the pins 1 7 initially are engaged in a recess portion 27b" of the oblique portion 27b by the force of the springs and the coin tube 10 is held in an inclined position indicated by a chainand-dot line in Figure 4.In this state, the relation between the push plate 19 of the tube 13 and the actuator 31 of the safety switch 20 and that between the recessed portion 1 3a and the emptiness detector are as indicated by a chainand-dot line in Figure 4. In this state, the safety switch 30 (i.e., the reed switch 34) is off and the emptiness switch 50 is on. Accordingly, the motor driving circuit of the coin payout device 65 of the auxiliary tube 60 is open and the payout device 65 does not pay out coins from the auxiliary tube 60.
If the cassette type coin tube 10 is not mounted in a proper position in the receiving portion 20a as in the case described above, the safety switch 30 operates to disable the payout device 65 of the auxiliary tube 60 and thereby prohibit payout of coins.
As the upper portion of the coin tube 10 is further pushed and pivoted toward the receiving portion 20a against the force of the springs for the pins 1 7 so that the pins 17 are engaged in interior recess portions 27b' of the oblique portions 27b. In this state, the cassette type coin tube 10 is properly mounted in the receiving portion 20a as shown in Figure 4. In this final
movement of the coin tube 10, the push plate 19 of the tube 13 pushes the actuator 31 of the safety switch 30 and the recessed portion 1 3a pushes the emptiness detector 40 against the force of the springs in the direction of the arrow
C'. The magnet 32 of the actuator 31 reaches a position which is nearest to the reed switch 34 to turn it on.Simultaneously, the emptiness detector 40 pivots downwardly until the detection surface 40a comes into contact with the recessed portion 1 3a of the tube 13. This arrangement ensures the close engagement of the detection surface 40a with the recessed portion 1 3a against a possibie slight misfitting between the coin tube 10 and the receiving portion 1 ova.
The emptiness detector 40 detects a state in which the coins 51 stored in the tube 1 3 (indicated by a chain-and-dot line in Figure 4) has been reduced below the height at which the emptiness detector 40 is mounted and thereby turns on the emptiness switch 50. As the emptiness switch is turned on, a motor M (Figure 6) of the payout device 65 (Figure 5) of the auxiliary tube 60 is rotated to supply a preset number of coins from the auxiliary tube 60 to the tube 13.
The cassette type coin tube 113 and the coin changer main body 111 shown schematically in
Figure 1 may be constituted of the same type of coin tube and coin changer main body as the cassette type coin tube 10 and the coin changer main body 20 shown in detail in Figures 3 and 4.
It will also be noted that the coin tube mounting detection switch 11 5 performs the same function as the safety switch 30 so that the coin rejection electromagnetic control unit 11 6 shown in
Figures 1 and 2 may be controlled by the output of the safety switch 30 shown in Figures 3 and 4.
The safety switch 30 is not limited to the combination of the magnet 32 and the reed switch 34 as shown in Figure 4 but other types of switch including a contact-type one and a noncontact type one may be used.
