Description

  The present invention relates to a coin checking device that checks coins that have been inserted into a coin slot according to diameter and allows only regular coins to be received, and a coin receiving device that includes the checking device.

  For example, a coin locker is provided with a coin receiving device that accepts coins that a user puts in use. The receiving device is provided with a coin checking device that accepts only regular diameter coins. FIG. 18 is a front view showing an example of a coin receiving device, and a coin insertion slot 2, a coin return slot 3, a customer lock 4 used by a customer, and a management lock used by an administrator on the front wall 1 of the coin receiving apparatus. 5 etc. are provided. When a user inserts a predetermined coin into the coin insertion slot 2, the coin diameter is inspected by a check device provided at the back of the coin insertion slot 2, and it is detected that a regular coin has been inserted. The key 6 of the customer lock 4 can be operated, and when the key 6 is operated, the locking rod 7 protrudes (or immerses) and locks (or unlocks) the locker door (not shown). You can use a rocker. A similar coin receiving device may be provided in a vending machine or the like that sells an article by inserting a predetermined coin.

  As a general coin checking device for inspecting the diameter of a coin, a model of a combination of two levers as shown in FIG. 19 has been known for a long time (for example, see Patent Document 1; Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-133788). Etc.) In the coin checking device, when the coin C is inserted into the coin insertion slot 2, the lower surface of the coin C comes into contact with the lower end surface of the coin receiving port 9 of the substrate 8, and the height of the coin C is determined. Since the upper surface of the shaft presses the cam surface 13a of the diameter sensing lever 13 pivoted at one end to the support shaft 11 standing on the substrate 8, the diameter detection lever 13 rotates counterclockwise around the support shaft 11 as a fulcrum. The push piece 13b pushes the pushed arm 14b of the V-shaped coin passage allowing lever 14 pivotally attached to the support shaft 12 erected on the substrate 8 upward. The pushed coin passage allowing lever 14 rotates clockwise with the support shaft 12 as a fulcrum, and the retreating arm 14c retreats upward from the coin passage, so that the coin C can pass.

When the diameter of the coin C is smaller than that of a regular coin, the amount of rotation of the diameter sensing lever 13 is reduced, so that the retracting amount of the retracting arm 14c is reduced, and the retracting arm 14c remaining in the coin passage is Block the passage of coins C. When the diameter of the coin C is larger than that of the regular coin, the coin C tries to rotate the diameter sensing lever 13 greatly, but before that, the insertion is prevented at the upper and lower ends of the coin receiving port 9 and the diameter is reduced. The sensing lever 13 does not turn. Therefore, the coin C cannot pass between the cam surface 13 a and the lower surface of the coin receiving port 9. In this way, only regular diameter coins C are accepted. Conventionally known check devices have only accepted coins having one diameter as regular coins.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-133788

  However, recently, coin lockers that allow various forms of use have emerged, and along with this, those that require the insertion of a large number of coins have also emerged. For example, when coins exceeding 500 yen are required for use or purchase of goods, it is necessary to insert five or more 100 yen coins, but it is also possible to insert 500 yen coins in addition to 100 yen. As described above, in the conventional check device that accepts only coins of one type of diameter as regular coins, two input ports for 100-yen coins and 500-yen coins are provided. Accordingly, it was necessary to provide a check device.

  When an insertion slot is provided corresponding to each coin, even if it is a regular coin, if the coin is not inserted into the corresponding insertion slot, the insertion of the coin is rejected. In such a case, it is necessary to change the slot and re-insert it into the slot according to the coin. In order to eliminate such a situation, for each coin to be inserted, it is only necessary to select the slot corresponding to the coin and insert the coin while checking the slot corresponding to the coin. However, in any case, the user feels bothered when inserting coins.

  Therefore, in view of the above-described points, the present invention can detect a coin check device that accepts only two kinds of regular coins having different diameters inserted into one coin slot and a check device. An object of the present invention is to provide a coin receiving device that sorts and accepts two kinds of regular coins.

  The coin check device according to the first aspect of the present invention, which has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, checks the coins inserted into the coin slot by diameter, and passes only two kinds of regular coins having different diameters.

The diameter detection reference pin is set by the response regulation between the upper edge response member and the tip edge response member, the diameter of the inserted coin is detected using the set diameter detection reference pin as a diameter reference, and the detected diameter is When it corresponds to the diameter of the regular coin, the coin passage allowing means moves the coin abutting portion of the leading edge responsive member to the outside of the coin passage to allow the inserted coin to pass. The setting of the diameter detection reference pin by the diameter reference setting means is based on the response regulation, when the diameter of the inserted coin is less than the diameter of the small regular coin, the position of the input coin is not separated from the reference fixed pin by more than the diameter of the small regular coin. When the diameter is an arbitrary diameter that exceeds the diameter of the small regular coin and less than the diameter of the large regular coin, the regular coin with the large diameter of the input coin is located at a position that is not separated from the reference fixing pin more than the diameter of the coin. When the diameter is equal to or larger than the diameter of the reference fixed pin, it is performed at a position where the diameter does not exceed the diameter of the large regular coin.

  Therefore, the diameter standard of the accepted coin is switched according to the diameter of the inserted coin, the diameter of the accepted coin is sensed by the set diameter standard, and when the sensed diameter exceeds the prescribed coin diameter and When the diameter is less than the diameter, the passage of coins can be blocked, and when the diameter of the inserted coin is detected with the set diameter detection reference pin as a diameter reference, and the detected diameter corresponds to the diameter of the regular coin, the leading edge The coin abutting portion of the responding member can be moved out of the coin passage to allow passage of the inserted coin.

  The coin check device according to claim 2 is the coin check device according to claim 1, wherein the upper edge reaction member has the diameter detection reference pin at one end and the engagement pin at the other end. Each of the protrusions is pivotally mounted near one end, and is composed of an upper edge responsive lever that is rotated by abutting an outer peripheral upper edge of the inserted coin to the diameter detection reference pin, The coin abutting portion is provided so as to be held by a spring bias at a position where the outer peripheral edge of the inserted coin abuts, and moved out of the coin path against the spring bias by the coin passage allowing means. And a tip edge responsive arm that is pivotally attached at one end and rotated by abutting the outer periphery of the tip of the inserted coin against the coin abutting portion, and the tip edge responsive arm is a member of the upper edge responsive lever. The upper edge reaction lever and the engagement pin engage with the engagement pin. And having a regulating unit that performs rotation restriction between the leading edge response arm.

The tip edge responsive member is held by a spring bias at a position where the tip outer peripheral edge of the inserted coin abuts and is biased by the coin passage permitting means. A leading edge responsive arm which is provided with a coin abutting portion so as to be moved out of the coin passage against the movement and pivoted at one end, and is rotated by abutting the outer peripheral edge of the inserted coin against the coin abutting portion The restriction portion of the leading edge response arm engages with the engagement pin of the upper edge response lever to restrict the rotation between the upper edge response lever and the front edge response arm.

  Accordingly, the reference position by the diameter detection reference pin is switched according to the diameter of the inserted coin, the diameter of the coin to be received is defined by the reference fixing pin and the diameter detection reference pin, and the diameter of the coin is determined based on the diameter detection reference pin. Can be detected.

The rotation of the upper edge reaction lever and the tip edge reaction arm are mutually regulated so that the diameter detection reference pin is not separated from the reference fixing pin beyond the diameter of the small regular coin by engaging with the engagement pin. The restriction surface is an upper edge that rotates when the diameter of the input coin is an arbitrary diameter that exceeds the diameter of the small regular coin and is smaller than the diameter of the large regular coin. The rotation of the upper edge response lever and the leading edge response arm is mutually regulated so that the diameter detection reference pin is not separated from the reference fixing pin beyond the diameter of the coin by engaging with the engagement pin of the response lever. The regulation side of the coin is larger than the diameter of regular coins with large diameter coins. The diameter detection reference pin is not separated from the reference fixed pin beyond the diameter of the large regular coin by engaging with the engaging pin of the upper edge responsive lever that is rotated by contacting the outer peripheral upper edge of the inserted coin. Thus, the rotation of the upper edge response lever and the tip edge response arm are mutually regulated.

  A coin receiving device according to a fourth aspect of the invention is a coin sorting device according to any one of the first to third aspects, and two types of regular coins that have been checked and passed by the coin checking device. And a sorting means.

  With the above configuration, the coin sorting means sorts two kinds of regular coins that have been checked and passed by the coin check device, so that even if there is only one coin slot, the two kinds of coins that are thrown in are identified and accepted. Can do.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the coin receiving device according to the fourth aspect, wherein the sorting means is separated by a distance that is not less than the diameter of the regular coin of the small diameter and not more than the diameter of the regular coin of the large diameter. A pair of sorting pins projecting at both ends, and the partition lever is pivotally mounted at a position biased to one of the sorting pins, and the sorting pins have a falling path through which the regular coins fall. A rotational force is applied and held in one direction due to weight imbalance at the straddling position, the small diameter regular coin passes between the pair of sorting pins and falls along the dropping path, and the large diameter regular coin A position different from the falling position of the small-sized regular coin, which is rotated by a weight imbalance in a direction opposite to the rotational force and the large-sized regular coin deviates from the dropping path when it is placed between the two sorting pins. In It does not characterized by sorting the two types of regular coins.

  With the above configuration, the partitioning lever of the sorting means has a pair of sorting pins protruding at both ends spaced apart by a distance not less than the diameter of the small regular coin and not more than the diameter of the large regular coin, and biased to one of the sorting pins. It is pivotally attached at different positions. The sorting pin is held at a position straddling the fall path where the regular coins fall by applying a rotational force in one direction due to weight imbalance, and the regular coin of small diameter passes between the pair of sorting pins and falls along the fall path However, when a large diameter regular coin rides between two sorting pins, it rotates by a weight imbalance in the opposite direction to the rotational force, and the large diameter regular coin is removed from the falling path of the small diameter regular coin. Two kinds of regular coins are sorted by dropping them at a position different from the position where regular coins are dropped. Therefore, it is possible to determine which of coins having different diameters has been inserted depending on the dropped position.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the diameter reference of the received coin is switched according to the diameter of the inserted coin, the diameter of the received coin is detected based on the set diameter reference, and the detected diameter is the specified coin. When the diameter exceeds the diameter or less than the diameter of the specified coin, the passage of the coin can be prevented, and the diameter of the inserted coin is detected using the set diameter detection reference pin as a diameter reference, and the detected diameter is the normal coin. When dealing with the diameter, the coin abutment part of the leading edge responsive member can be moved out of the coin path to allow the inserted coin to pass, so two types with different diameters inserted into one coin slot It is possible to provide a coin checking device that accepts only regular coins.

  According to the invention of claim 2, the reference position by the diameter detection reference pin is switched according to the diameter of the inserted coin, the diameter of the coin to be received is defined by the reference fixing pin and the diameter detection reference pin, and the diameter detection Since the diameter of the coin can be detected based on the reference pin, the insertion of the coin having a diameter exceeding the diameter of the specified coin is prevented by the reference fixing pin and the diameter detection reference pin, and the diameter is detected based on the diameter detection reference pin. The passage of coins having a diameter less than the prescribed coin diameter can be prevented.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, even if there is only one coin slot, it is possible to identify and accept two types of coins that have been thrown in, so there is no need to separately provide means for identifying the coins that have been thrown in.

  According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to determine which of coins having different diameters has been inserted according to the dropped position, so that the amount to be inserted can be easily grasped by the number of coins at each position.

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a check device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment in which the check device is applied to a coin receiving device having sorting means for sorting two types of coins that have been checked and accepted. 1 is a perspective view as seen from the left side of the check device, FIG. 2 is a left side view, FIG. 3 is a front view, FIG. 4 is a perspective view seen from the right side, and FIG. 5 is a right side view. In the figure, a substrate 100 made of a metal plate has a right side surface 100A serving as a guide wall for guiding the left side surface of a coin inserted into a coin slot provided on a front wall of a coin receiving device (not shown). A guide path for guiding coins is formed with a guide plate (not shown) attached in parallel to the substrate 100 with respect to 100A, and is arranged in the coin receiving device.

  The coin checking device checks the coins inserted into the coin slot, and passes the two kinds of regular coins having different diameters to be accepted by the coin receiving device, so that the coin checking device is erected on the right side surface 100A of the substrate 100. A reference fixing pin 101 that contacts the lower outer edge of the coin inserted into the mouth and positions the height of the coin, and an outer peripheral upper edge of the input coin that is positioned by the reference fixing pin 101, When it is a coin, it responds to the diameter detection reference pin 111a which becomes a diameter reference for detecting the diameter of the regular coin, and the outer peripheral upper edge of the inserted coin which is positioned by the reference fixing pin 101 and contacts the diameter detection reference pin 111a An upper edge responsive lever 111 as an upper edge responsive member and a tip edge responsive arm 112 as a tip edge responsive member responsive to the outer peripheral edge. The diameter reference setting means 110 for setting the diameter detection reference pin 111a according to the response restriction between the edge response arms 112, that is, the rotation restriction, and the diameter detection reference pin 111a set by the diameter reference setting means 110 as a diameter reference. A coin that senses the diameter and, when the sensed diameter corresponds to the diameter of a regular coin, moves the coin abutting piece 113, which is the coin abutting portion of the leading edge responsive arm 112, out of the coin path and allows the inserted coin to pass through. Passing permission means 140.

  In addition, although mentioned later in detail, the diameter reference setting means 110 is not separated from the reference fixing pin 101 by more than the diameter of the small regular coin when the diameter of the inserted coin is equal to or smaller than the diameter of the small regular coin due to the rotation restriction. When the diameter of the inserted coin is an arbitrary diameter that exceeds the diameter of the small regular coin and less than the diameter of the large regular coin, the position of the inserted coin is not separated from the reference fixing pin 101 more than the diameter of the coin. When the diameter is equal to or larger than the diameter of the large regular coin, the diameter detection reference pin 111a is set at a position where it does not separate from the reference fixing pin 101 beyond the diameter of the large regular coin.

  Specifically, the upper edge responsive lever 111 included in the diameter reference setting unit 110 is pivotally attached to a stop shaft 100a erected on the left side surface 100B of the substrate 100, and a diameter detection reference pin 111a is provided at one end and the other end is provided at the other end. Each of the engaging pins 111b is erected, and a biasing force in the clockwise direction is applied (in FIG. 2) by a tension spring 111c stretched between the substrate 100 and one end. The diameter detection reference pin 111 a protrudes toward the right side surface 100 </ b> A side of the substrate 100 through the opening 102 formed in the substrate 100.

  One end of the leading edge responsive arm 112 of the diameter reference setting means 110 is also pivotally attached to a stop shaft 100b standing on the left side surface 100B, and the engaging pin 111b of the upper edge responsive lever 111 is inserted near the other end. A restricting window 112a to be engaged is formed, and a biasing force in the counterclockwise direction is applied (in FIG. 2) by a tension spring 112b stretched between the substrate 100 and the tension spring 112b. The coin abutting piece 113 included in the diameter reference setting means 110 is further pivotally attached to the stop shaft 112c erected on the leading edge responsive arm 112 at an intermediate portion, and the position where the leading edge of the inserted coin abuts. The tip edge responsive arm 112 is rotated by the contact of the outer periphery of the tip of the inserted coin. Specifically, the coin abutting piece 113 is provided with a contact pin 113a, which is in contact with the outer peripheral edge of the inserted coin at one end, and is stretched between the leading edge response arm 112 and the other end. A biasing force in the clockwise direction is applied so that the other end is in contact with the stopper piece 112d by the tension spring 113b (in FIG. 2), and is projected to the right side surface 100A side of the substrate 100 through the opening 103 formed in the substrate 100. It is located in the center part of the coin passage formed between the reference fixing pin 101 and the diameter detection reference pin 111a so that the outer peripheral edge of the inserted coin comes into contact with the contact pin 113a.

  The urging force applied to the coin abutting piece 113 by the tension spring 113b stretched between the front edge response arm 112 and the urging force applied to the front edge response arm 112 by the tension spring 112b is sufficiently higher. Therefore, when the inserted coin abuts against the abutment pin 113a, the coin abutment piece 113 is held without escaping, and is held by being spring-biased at a position where the outer peripheral edge of the tip abuts. The leading edge responsive arm 112 is rotated together with the coin abutting piece 113 in the clockwise direction against the urging force of the tension spring 112b (see FIG. 2) by the contact of the outer peripheral edge of the inserted coin. . In addition, the opening 103 is formed in a size that can move a stopper pin (132), which will be described later, to an unobstructed position together with the contact pin 113a so that the coin to be received passes through the coin passage.

  The restriction window 112a is engaged with the engagement pin 111b of the upper edge responsive lever 111 to which the urging force is applied in the clockwise direction opposite to the front edge responsive arm 112 (in FIG. 2), and is an initial position where the initial position is obtained. It has a protruding regulation inner edge 112a1. With the engagement pin 111b engaged with the initial positioning restriction inner edge portion 112a1, the diameter detection reference pin 111a of the upper edge response lever 111 and the leading edge response arm 112 are held in the initial state shown in the drawing.

  As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 6, the restriction window 112 a is also configured such that when a coin having a diameter equal to or smaller than the diameter of a small regular coin is inserted, the outer peripheral edge of the inserted coin is the coin detection pin 113 a of the coin detection piece 113. When the leading edge responsive arm 112 is rotated by abutting against the engagement pin 111b of the upper edge responsive lever 111, the outer peripheral upper edge of the inserted coin is rotated against the diameter detection reference pin 111a. Engagement to mutually regulate the rotation of the leading edge response arm 112 of the upper edge response lever 111 so that the diameter detection reference pin 111a is not separated from the reference fixed pin 101 beyond the diameter of the small regular coin. It has the 1st control inner edge part 112a2 as a control part.

  When the diameter of the inserted coin corresponds to the diameter of a regular coin having a small diameter, the first restriction inner edge portion 112a2 restricts the rotation of the upper edge responsive lever 111 by the engagement pin 111b. When the inner edge 112a21 of the arc centering on the rotation center of the leading edge responsive arm 112 and the diameter of the inserted coin is less than the diameter of the small regular coin, the leading edge responsive arm 112 is rotated by the outer peripheral edge of the inserted coin. It is disassembled into an arc inner edge 112a21 that engages with the engaging pin 111b and restricts further rotation of the tip edge responding arm 112 and an orthogonal inner edge 112a22 that is orthogonal.

  The restriction window 112a is further configured such that when a coin having an arbitrary diameter that exceeds the diameter of the small regular coin and less than the large regular coin is inserted, the outer peripheral edge of the inserted coin is the coin detection pin of the coin detection piece 113. The leading edge responsive arm 112 is rotated by abutting on 113a, and the upper edge of the outer periphery of the inserted coin is brought into contact with the diameter detecting reference pin 111a, so that the diameter detecting reference pin 111a is rotated on the upper edge responsive lever 111. Accordingly, the upper edge responsive lever 111 and the leading edge responsive arm are engaged with the engagement pin 111b of the upper edge responsive lever 111 so that the diameter detection reference pin 111a is not separated from the reference fixing pin 101 by more than the diameter of the coin. A second restriction inner edge portion 112a3 is provided as a second restriction portion that mutually restricts the rotation of 112.

  Further, the restriction window 112a is further configured so that when a coin having a diameter equal to or larger than the diameter of a large regular coin is inserted, the outer peripheral edge of the inserted coin comes into contact with the coin detection pin 113a of the coin detection piece 113, so that the leading edge reacts. As the arm 112 is rotated, the outer peripheral upper edge of the inserted coin is brought into contact with the diameter detection reference pin 111a and the upper edge responsive lever 111 is rotated, so that the outer peripheral upper edge of the inserted coin is brought into contact. The upper edge responsive lever is engaged with the engaging pin 111b of the upper edge responsive lever 111 that is rotated and the diameter detecting reference pin 111a is not separated from the reference fixing pin 101 beyond the diameter of the large regular coin. A third restriction inner edge 112a4 is provided as a third restriction part for restricting the rotation of 111.

  When the diameter of the inserted coin is equivalent to the diameter of a regular coin having a large diameter, the third restriction inner edge portion 112a4 restricts the rotation of the upper edge responsive lever 111 by the engagement of the engagement pin 111b. When the diameter of the inserted coin is equal to or larger than the above-mentioned arbitrary diameter and less than the diameter of the large regular coin, the leading edge of the inserted coin is caused by the outer peripheral edge of the inserted coin. The responding arm 112 is rotated to be engaged with the engaging pin 111b to be divided into an arc inner edge 112a41 that restricts further rotation of the tip edge responding arm 112 and an orthogonal inner edge 112a42 that is orthogonal.

  In particular, the second restriction inner edge 112a3 is a range from a point X to a point Y that is a boundary between the first restriction inner edge 112a2 and the second restriction inner edge 112a3, and the inner edge of the restriction window 112a in this range. As for the surface, the outer edge upper edge of the inserted coin abuts on the diameter detection reference pin 111a and the upper edge responsive lever 111 pivotally attached to the stop shaft 100a rotates in the counterclockwise direction. Comes into contact with the coin detection pin 113a of the coin detection piece 113 and the leading edge responsive arm 112 rotates counterclockwise and the engagement pin 111b comes into contact with the rotation locus of the engagement pin 111b. It is formed in a shape that generates a reaction force that is orthogonal to at least or rotates the upper edge responsive lever 111 in the clockwise direction. The surface of the inner edge portion 112a5 below the point Y generates a force for rotating the upper edge responsive lever 111 counterclockwise with respect to the abutting engagement pin 111b, contrary to the surface in the above range. It is formed into a shape. Thus, when a coin having an arbitrary diameter that exceeds the diameter of the small regular coin and exceeds the diameter of the large regular coin is inserted, the diameter detection reference pin 111a is larger than the diameter of the coin from the reference fixing pin 101. It is ensured that it is not separated.

  As described above, when a coin having a diameter equal to or smaller than the diameter of the small regular coin is inserted, the diameter detection reference pin 111a exceeds the diameter of the small regular coin from the reference fixing pin 101, as described above. The rotation of the upper edge responsive lever 111 is restricted so as not to be separated. As a result, a coin having a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of a small regular coin cannot pass through the passage between the diameter detection reference pin 111a and the reference fixing pin 101, and is prevented from being received. When a coin having an arbitrary diameter that exceeds the diameter of the small regular coin and less than the diameter of the large regular coin is inserted, the second detection inner edge 112a3 causes the diameter detection reference pin 111a to move from the reference fixed pin 101 to the coin. The rotation of the upper edge responsive lever 111 is restricted so as not to be separated beyond the diameter of the upper edge. As a result, a coin having an arbitrary diameter that exceeds the diameter of the small regular coin and less than the large regular coin can pass through the passage between the diameter detection reference pin 111a and the reference fixing pin 101. The acceptance is blocked. When a coin having a diameter equal to or larger than the diameter of the large regular coin is inserted into the third restriction inner edge portion 112a4, the diameter detection reference pin 111a is separated from the reference fixing pin 101 beyond the diameter of the large regular coin. The upper edge responsive lever 111 is prevented from rotating. As a result, a coin having a diameter that exceeds the diameter of a large regular coin cannot pass through the passage between the diameter detection reference pin 111a and the reference fixing pin 101, and is prevented from being received.

  The coin passage permission means 140 includes a diameter sensing lever 120 that senses the diameter of the inserted coin using the diameter detection reference pin 111a set by the diameter reference setting means 110 as a diameter reference, and a diameter sensed by the diameter sensing lever 120 is a regular coin. The coin abutting piece 113 of the leading edge responsive arm 112 is moved to the outside of the coin passage to permit the passage of the inserted coin. The diameter sensing lever 120 has a diameter sensing pin 121 projecting at one end and a pushing portion 122 formed at the other end, and a stop standing on the left side surface 100B of the substrate 100 at an intermediate portion near the one end. It is pivotally attached to the shaft 100c. The diameter sensing pin 121 is projected to the right side surface 100A side of the substrate 100 through an opening 104 formed in the substrate 100 adjacent to and behind the reference fixing pin 101, and is opened by the weight unbalance around the stop shaft 100c. When a counterclockwise turning force is applied in contact with the inner edge 104a (in FIG. 2) and a force against this weight imbalance acts on the diameter sensing pin 121, the diameter sensing pin 121 is at a maximum. Until it contacts the inner edge 104b of the opening 104 (in FIG. 2). Strictly speaking, the diameter sensing pin 121 is formed on the inner edge 104a of the opening 104 such that the distance between the diameter sensing reference pin 111a is smaller than the distance between the diameter sensing reference pin 111a and the reference fixing pin 101. It is in contact.

  One end of the coin passage allowance lever 130 is pivotally attached to a stop shaft 100d erected on the left side surface 100B of the substrate 100, a pushed pin 131 is provided at an intermediate portion near the one end, and a stopper is provided at the other end portion. Each of the pins 132 protrudes. The stopper 132 protrudes to the right side 100A side of the substrate 100 through the opening 103, and the pushed pin 131 is brought into contact with the pushing portion 122 of the diameter sensing lever 120 by a weight imbalance around the stop shaft 100d. It is provided at a position that abuts against the inner edge of the opening 103 so as to be held in the immediately preceding state. When a force against weight imbalance acts on the pushed pin 131 from the pushing portion 122, the coin passage allowance lever 130 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction. The coin passage allowance lever 130 pushes a pushed pin 113a1 that protrudes in the opposite direction concentrically with the contact pin 113a at the other end tip, and pushes the contact pin 113a out of the coin passage. Part 133. Note that the pushing portion 133 is formed to be slightly longer so that the pushed pin 113a1 does not sink below the pushing portion 133 during the return operation after the inserted coin is received. .

  Next, referring to the same drawings and FIGS. 1 to 5 which are referred to in explaining the configuration of the check device, a sorting device 150 for sorting two kinds of regular coins that have been checked and accepted by the check device. Will be explained.

  The sorting apparatus 150 includes a sorting lever 151 that is pivotally attached to a stop shaft 100e that is erected on the left side surface 100B of the substrate 100 and has a pair of sorting pins 151a and 151b protruding therefrom. The pair of sorting pins 151a and 151b is sandwiched between the stopping shafts 100e on a straight line passing through the stopping shaft 100e, and the distance from the stopping shaft 100e is smaller in the sorting pins 151a, and the distance between them is checked and accepted 2 It is provided so as to be smaller than the diameter on the large-diameter side and larger than the diameter on the small-diameter side of the kind of regular coins, and is projected to the right side surface 100A side of the substrate 100 through openings 105 and 106 formed in the substrate 100. Yes.

  The sorting lever 151 is pivotally attached so that the distance from the stop shaft 100e to the sorting pins 151a and 151b is different to generate unbalanced weight. However, the sorting lever 151 rotates in the direction opposite to the rotating direction by the unbalanced weight. A weight 152 is provided at a position near the sorting pin 151a away from the straight line passing through the stop shaft 100e so that a weight unbalance is generated. The weight 152 causes a weight imbalance to the sorting lever 151 (in FIG. 2) in a state where the sorting pin 151b is in contact with a part 106a of the inner edge of the opening 106, and imparts counterclockwise rotational force. The sorting pin 151b works to hold the sorting lever 151 in the state shown in the drawing in which the sorting pin 151b is in contact with a part 106a of the inner edge of the opening 106, that is, in a state where the straight line passing through the stop shaft 100e is inclined at approximately 45 degrees. The sorting lever 151 is rotated to a position where the straight line passing through the stop shaft 100e becomes substantially vertical when turning power in the clockwise direction is applied against the weight imbalance, and the sorting pin 151b is located at the inner edge of the opening 106. It stops in contact with the other part 106b.

  The sorting device 150 also includes two inclined upright pieces 106c and 106d that are separated from each other with the sorting pin 151b in contact with a part 106a of the inner edge 106a of the opening 106 and are erected on the right side surface 100A side. The inclined upright pieces 106c and 106d are separated from each other by a distance larger than the diameter of the large regular coin, and the sorting pin 151b is in contact with the portion 106a of the inner edge of the opening 106, together with the sorting pin 151b. An inclined surface inclined at an angle substantially orthogonal to a straight line passing through is formed. This inclined surface constitutes a small-diameter regular coin dropping path that guides and drops a small-diameter regular coin passing between the pair of sorting pins 151a and 151b along the inclined surface.

  In the case of a large-diameter regular coin, the pair of sorting pins 151a and 151b cannot pass between them, and the partition lever 151 is separated from the other portion of the inner edge of the opening 106 by the weight of the large-diameter coin applied thereto. It is rotated to a position where it abuts against 106b. In this state, the sorting pins 151b are moved from between the inclined standing pieces 106c and 106d, and the large diameter regular pieces 106c and 106d are separated from each other by a distance larger than the diameter of the large diameter regular coin. A large-diameter regular coin dropping path for dropping coins is formed. Two types of regular coins are used because a small-sized regular coin that falls on the small-diameter regular coin fall path and a large-diameter regular coin that falls on the large-diameter regular coin fall path fall at different positions. Can be sorted.

  The operation of the coin checking device and the partition device described above will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  First, the operation when a small-diameter regular coin is inserted will be described with reference to FIGS. When a regular coin C1 having a small diameter is inserted into a coin insertion slot (not shown), the lower peripheral edge of the coin abuts on the reference fixing pin 101 and its height position is determined with reference to the reference fixing pin 101 as shown in FIG. Since the diameter of the coin C1 is the diameter of a small regular coin, the upper edge of the outer periphery of the coin abuts against the diameter detection reference pin 111a of the upper edge responsive lever 111 with reference to the reference fixing pin 101, as shown in the figure. The leading edge of the outer peripheral edge of the outer edge of the outer edge of the outer edge of the outer edge contacts the contact pin 113a of the coin abutting piece 113, and the leading edge responsive arm 112 on which the coin abutting piece 113 is pivoted against the urging force of the tension spring 112b. (In FIG. 6), it starts to rotate counterclockwise.

  When the coin C1 is further pushed in, as shown in FIG. 8, the diameter of the coin reaches a line connecting the reference fixing pin 101 and the diameter detection reference pin 111a, and the outer edge of the coin comes into contact with the diameter detection reference pin 111a, The edge responsive lever 111 is rotated in the clockwise direction against the urging force of the tension spring 111c (in FIG. 8), and the engaging pin 111b is engaged with the arc inner edge 112a21 of the first restricting inner edge 112a2. The above rotation is restricted and the position of the diameter detection reference pin 111a is held. The diameter detection reference pin 111a in which this position is held is held at a position where the distance from the reference fixing pin 101 becomes a size corresponding to the diameter of the regular coin C1 having a small diameter. Accordingly, a coin having a diameter of the small regular coin C1 passes between the reference fixing pin 101 and the diameter detection reference pin 111a, and before and after this passage, the lower peripheral edge of the coin is arranged adjacent to the reference fixing pin 101. The diameter sensing lever 120 is abutted against the diameter sensing pin 121 and rotated in the counterclockwise direction by applying a counterclockwise turning force to the diameter sensing lever 120 with reference to the diameter sensing reference pin 111a (in FIG. 8). .

  In this way, when the coin is a regular coin having a small diameter, as shown in FIG. 9, the diameter sensing lever 120 is until the diameter of the coin is positioned between the diameter sensing reference pin 111a and the diameter sensing pin 121. It is rotated. The pushing portion 122 at the other end of the diameter sensing lever 120 pushes the pushed pin 131 of the coin passage allowance lever 130 so that the coin passage allowance lever 130 is rotated in the clockwise direction (in FIG. 9) and contacted. The coin 113 is completely moved from the coin passage together with the pin 113a to allow the coin to pass therethrough. As shown in FIG. 10, the small-sized regular coin C1 that has passed falls between the inclined standing piece 106c of the sorting device 150 and the pair of sorting pins 151a and 151b of the sorting lever 151 through a falling path composed of the inclined standing piece 106d. Is done.

  On the other hand, when the inserted coin has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the small regular coin C1, it passes between the reference fixing pin 101 and the diameter detection reference pin 111a, but the diameter detection lever 120 No turning force in the counterclockwise direction with respect to the diameter detection reference pin 111a is applied and the counterclockwise rotation direction is not applied. Therefore, when the coin is smaller than the diameter of the regular coin, the contact pin 113a stops in the coin passage and continues to be pushed by the outer peripheral edge of the coin as shown in FIG. The engagement pin 111b is engaged with the orthogonal inner edge 112a22 of the first restriction inner edge portion 112a2, and the further rotation is restricted, so that no further coins can be pushed in. Acceptance is blocked.

  When the inserted coin has an arbitrary diameter that exceeds the diameter of the small regular coin C1 and less than the large regular coin C2, that is, when it is not a regular coin, it is shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. As described above, the upper edge reaction lever 111 and the front edge reaction so that the engagement pin 111b is engaged with the second restriction inner edge 112a3 and the diameter detection reference pin 111a is not separated from the reference fixing pin 101 by more than the diameter of the coin. The rotation of the arm 112 is regulated mutually, and the diameter detection reference pin 111a and the reference fixing pin 101 prevent the coin from being pushed further and the acceptance is rejected.

  Next, the operation when a large-diameter regular coin is inserted will be described with reference to FIGS. When a large-diameter regular coin C2 is inserted, as shown in FIG. 14, the outer peripheral lower edge abuts on the reference fixing pin 101 and its height position is determined with reference to the reference fixing pin 101, and the diameter of the coin C2 is determined. Is larger than an arbitrary diameter, as shown in the drawing, before the outer peripheral edge of the coin C2 contacts the contact pin 113a, the outer peripheral edge of the coin is the diameter of the upper edge responsive lever 111 with reference to the reference fixing pin 101. Abutting on the detection reference pin 111a, the upper edge responding lever 111 is rotated in the clockwise direction against the urging force of the tension spring 111c (in FIG. 14). When the coin is further pushed in, as shown in FIG. 15, the engagement pin 111b is engaged with the arc inner edge 112a41 of the third restriction inner edge portion 112a41, and the further rotation is restricted, and the position of the diameter detection reference pin 111a. Retained. The distance between the diameter detection reference pin 111a held at this position and the reference fixing pin 101 is a size corresponding to the diameter of the large regular coin C2.

  Therefore, when the inserted coin has a diameter equal to or larger than the diameter of the large regular coin C2, that is, when it is not a regular coin, the coin is detected by the reference fixing pin 101 and the diameter detection reference pin 111a held in position. Any further push in is blocked and acceptance is refused. When the inserted coin has a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the large regular coin C2, the coin passes between the reference fixing pin 101 and the diameter detection reference pin 111a. An outer peripheral lower edge abuts on a diameter sensing pin 121 disposed adjacent to the reference fixing pin 101. Then, with reference to the diameter detection reference pin 111a, the diameter sensing lever 120 (in FIG. 15) is applied with a turning force in the counterclockwise direction and is rotated in the counterclockwise direction.

  As shown in FIG. 15, when the diameter sensing lever 120 is rotated until the diameter of the coin is positioned between the diameter sensing reference pin 111a and the diameter sensing pin 121, the other end of the diameter sensing lever 120 is moved. The pushing portion 122 pushes the pushed pin 131 of the coin passage allowance lever 130 to rotate the coin passage allowance lever 130 in the clockwise direction (in FIG. 14), and from the coin passage together with the contact pin 113a. Completely move to allow the passage of coins.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the large-sized regular coin C2 that has passed passes through between the pair of sorting pins 151a and 151b of the sorting lever 151 via the inclined upright pieces 106c of the sorting device 150. Cannot be received by the pair of sorting pins 151a and 151b. The sorting lever 151 is given a rotational force in the clockwise direction by the weight 152 (in FIG. 15). However, by receiving the coin C2, the sorting lever 151 is rotated by being given a reverse rotational force, and a pair of sorting pins 151a, The coin C2 received by 151b is dropped through the dropping path between the inclined upright pieces 106c and 106d. As a result, the small diameter specified coin C1 and the large diameter specified coin C2 are sorted by being dropped at different positions as shown in FIG.

  In the above-described embodiment, the diameter reference setting means 110 has a diameter detection reference pin 111a at one end and an engaging pin 111b at the other end, and the upper edge responsive lever 111 pivoted near one end. And the diameter detection reference pin 111a is rotated from the reference fixing pin 101 to a smaller diameter by turning in a coin having a diameter less than an arbitrary diameter between the diameter of the small diameter regular coin and the diameter of the large diameter regular coin. The inner edge 112a2 of the restricting window 112a as a first restricting portion that engages with the engaging pin 111b and restricts the rotation of the upper edge responding lever 111 so as not to be separated beyond the diameter of the regular coin, and an arbitrary diameter or more When a coin having a diameter of 1 is inserted and the outer peripheral edge of the coin is brought into contact with the diameter detection reference pin 111a, the diameter detection reference pin 111a exceeds the diameter of the large regular coin from the reference fixing pin 101. A leading edge responsive arm 112 having an inner edge 112a3 of a restricting window 112a as a second restricting portion that engages with the engaging pin 111b so as to restrict the rotation of the upper edge responsive lever 111, A coin abutting piece 113 that is pivotally mounted on the arm 112 and has a contact pin 113a positioned at the center of a coin passage formed between the reference fixing pin 101 and the diameter detection reference pin 111a. When a coin having a diameter less than an arbitrary diameter is inserted and the outer peripheral edge of the coin is brought into contact with the contact pin 113a, the coin contact piece 113 rotates the front edge response arm 112. Thus, the diameter reference of the coin received in cooperation with the reference fixing pin 101 is set to be switchable in two stages.

  However, when a coin having a diameter less than an arbitrary diameter between the diameter of the small regular coin and the diameter of the large regular coin is inserted, it is not separated from the reference fixing pin 101 beyond the diameter of the small regular coin. When a coin having a diameter equal to or larger than an arbitrary diameter is inserted, the reference fixing pin 101 is controlled so as not to be separated from the diameter of the large-diameter regular coin. What is necessary is just to have the diameter detection reference | standard pin 111a which sets the diameter reference | standard which accepts the coin which has a diameter below the diameter of the diameter of a regular coin or a large diameter regular coin.
