Description

  The present invention relates to a coin dispensing device for a coin processing device disposed inside a device such as a vending machine.

  In general, inside a device such as a vending machine, a coin processing device for determining whether a coin is true or not and paying out a coin corresponding to the amount of change is mounted.

  The coin dispensing device disposed at the lower part of the coin processing device is located below the coin sorting unit that discriminates the authenticity of the inserted coins and sorts the genuine and false coins, and loads the coins that fall from the coin sorting unit. A plurality of coin storage cylinders that are arranged in parallel and in order to store, a payout slide that pulls out coins at the bottom of all the coin storage cylinders one by one, and the payout slide is disposed below the payout slide. It is composed of a change slide for placing a coin drawn out by a slide and controlling the falling and dispensing of the coin.

  In addition, the present applicant, when paying out coins, uses the coins accumulated in the coin storage cylinder effectively as change until the last one, and in order to quickly and surely pay out the coins, A technology has been developed in which a coin confirmation sensor is arranged on the back side of each storage cylinder to detect a coin that has been pulled out, and the coin confirmation sensor is used to confirm completion of coin payout (Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-162817). issue).

Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-162817 Japanese Patent No. 3622517

  By the way, in such a coin dispensing device, the amount of coins drawn out from the coin storage cylinder by a payout slide is minimized (about 60 to 70% of the coin diameter) from the size of the entire coin processing device provided with the coin dispensing device. ) To reduce the overall size of the device. Therefore, when looking into the coin storage cylinder from above, it is possible to confirm a part of the payout hole 6a, which is a hole from which the coin falls (see FIG. 4).

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14, when the coin storage cylinder 5 is empty, the coin 50 that has fallen into a part of the above-described payout hole 6a may enter, but before the coin 50 is pulled out by rotating. Normal posture (horizontal posture).

  However, in the technique of Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-162817 described above, the tip of the coin placement portion 111 of the change slide 110 has an arc shape as shown in FIG. By doing so, the range in which the coin 50 is placed is expanded.

  Here, looking at the relationship between the minimum amount of coins to be drawn out and the coin placement range of the change slide 110, a part of the payout hole 6a is changed compared to when the coin placement range is not expanded. The coin placement portion 111 of the slide 110 is narrowed by an amount corresponding to the enlargement of the coin placement range (see FIGS. 14 and 15).

  In this state, when the coin 50 falls when the coin storage cylinder 5 is empty, as shown in FIG. 15, the coin 50 enters the payout hole 6a, and a part of the coin 50 is changed into the coin storage cylinder 5 and the change slide. There is a case where it is caught between a part of the 110 coin placement units 111 and cannot be rotated (hereinafter referred to as “coin standing”).

  When coin standing occurs, the posture may not be normal due to subsequent coins and the payout may not be possible, or the coins that have stood and the payout slide may collide with each other and may be locked out.

  Both of these phenomena occur less frequently, but they are a serious problem that the coin payout function stops, so they are problems to be solved.

  In order to solve this problem, a method of delaying the time when the change slide starts to move from the time when the payout slide starts moving when coins are paid out can be considered.

  By this method, since the coin moves on the change slide until the change slide moves behind the others, the coin mounting range of the change slide becomes relatively wide when the change slide moves from the beginning. .

  In other words, when the coins are paid out, if the change slide movement start time is delayed from the time when the payout slide starts moving, even if the coin is not placed on the change slide in the first stage (standby state), The coin posture that can be detected by the payout confirmation sensor can be maintained while maintaining a space where no coin is caught between the coin base and the change slide in the standby state. It becomes possible.

  The above-mentioned technical idea of “delaying the change slide movement start time later than the time when the payout slide starts moving” is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent No. 3622517.

  This Japanese Patent No. 3622517 includes a main slider for pulling out one coin at a time among the coins loaded and stored in a storage cylinder, a stopper strider that slides on a dispenser plate in conjunction with the main slider, and this stopper. A claw provided on the slider for locking and unlocking the dispenser plate and a lever pusher for pulling out the stopper slider by the driving means. After releasing the locking between the claw and the dispenser plate by the lever pusher, the stopper slider is moved. The coin selected by drawing out is paid out. FIG. 1 of Japanese Patent No. 3622517 describes that the stopper slider that supports the drawn coin moves after the movement of the main slider that pulls out the coin. ing.

  However, in Japanese Patent No. 3622517, parts such as a claw and a lever pusher are necessary in addition to a main slider for pulling out coins and a stopper slider for supporting coins in order to realize the above technical idea, which is large. .

In other words, in order to “delay the movement start time of the change slide more than the time when the payout slide starts moving when paying out coins”, compared with the technology of the prior application of Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-162817, It is necessary to add parts or change the configuration of peripheral parts, and it is impossible to realize the same part configuration as the prior application of Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-162817.
Moreover, there is a possibility that the size of the entire coin processing device needs to be increased.

  Therefore, the present invention can easily detect a coin withdrawn from a coin storage cylinder with a coin confirmation sensor provided on the back side of the coin storage cylinder, and can easily add a new part to a structure that does not cause a payout failure. To provide a coin dispensing device that can be realized with the same component structure as before without changing the configuration of peripheral parts or increasing the size of the entire coin processing device, and thus promoting mass production. Objective.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, in the present invention, before and after the movement direction of the change slide, locking means for determining the relative position of the change slide with respect to the coins drawn by the payout slide, and movement that resists movement of the change slide Resistance means, and locking and unlocking of the locking means, and resistance and resistance release of the movement resistance means are performed in accordance with the movement of the change slide, and the locking means has an elastic force. It consists of a pair of a locking part and a locking surface that locks the locking part, and one of the locking part and the locking surface is integrated with the change slide, and the other is the It is formed integrally with the link on the movement path of the change slide, and the movement resistance means is a pair of a movement resistance portion having elasticity and a convex portion having an inclined surface that presses the movement resistance portion. And one of the movement resistance portion and the convex portion having the inclined surface is integrated with the change slide, and the other is integrated with the housing of the apparatus main body on the movement path of the change slide. Try to form.

  In the coin dispensing device according to the present invention, the locking means for determining the relative position of the change slide with respect to the coins drawn by the payout slide before and after the movement direction of the change slide, and the movement resistance means for resisting the movement of the change slide are provided. The locking means is locked and unlocked, and the resistance of the moving resistance means is released and the resistance is released along with the movement of the change slide, and the locking means is a locking portion having an elastic force. It consists of a pair of locking surfaces that lock the locking portions, and one of the locking portions and the locking surfaces is integrated with the change slide, and the other is the movement of the change slide. Formed integrally with the link on the path, and the movement resistance means comprises a pair of a movement resistance portion having elasticity and a convex portion having an inclined surface that presses the movement resistance portion, and One of the movement resistance portion and the convex portion having the inclined surface is formed integrally with the change slide, and the other is formed integrally with the housing of the apparatus main body on the movement path of the change slide. Therefore, the range in which the coins can be placed on the change slide can be made relatively wider at the start of the movement of the change slide than in the standby state, and the posture of the drawn coins is maintained until the time of dispensing, and the coins are detected by the coin confirmation sensor. The structure that does not cause a payout failure can be detected easily and easily without adding new parts, changing the configuration of peripheral parts, or increasing the size of the entire coin handling system. This can be realized with a component configuration.

Hereinafter, the coin dispensing apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail.
First, the configuration of the coin dispensing device 1 according to the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a coin processing device main body comprising a housing 2 on which a coin dispensing device 1 according to the present invention is mounted, and FIG. 2 is a main part breaking concept showing the configuration of the coin dispensing device 1 of the present invention. It is sectional drawing.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the coin dispensing device 1 includes a coin dispensing unit 3 mounted on the lower part of the housing 2, and a coin storage unit 4 detachably mounted on the housing 2 shown in FIG. 2. It is.

  The coin storage unit 4 is slidable between a plurality of coin storage cylinders 5 prepared for each denomination, a coin base 6 serving as a bottom of the coin storage cylinder 5, and the coin storage cylinder 5 and the coin base 6. And a payout slide 7 for pulling out coins 50 stored and stored in the coin storage cylinder 5 one by one.

  On the other hand, the coin dispensing unit 3 includes a disk-shaped motor cam 8 that is rotated by a drive motor (not shown), a link 9 that reciprocally slides in the left-right direction in FIG. 2 in conjunction with the motor cam 8, and a payout slide. A plurality of change slides 10 for selectively supporting and releasing the lower surface of the coin 50 pulled out by 7 to control the coin payout and non-payout, and a payout coin selection solenoid for determining whether or not the change slide 10 can move. 30 and the coin storage cylinder 5 back side (the direction of the payout hole 6a with respect to the coin 50 in the coin storage cylinder 5; hereinafter also referred to as "coin storage cylinder 5 back side"), and is drawn out by the payout slide 7. A coin confirmation sensor 40 for detecting the coin 50 is provided.

  The link 9 and the payout slide 7 are connected to each other when the coin accommodating portion 4 is attached to the housing 2, and the payout slide 7 is linked to the motor cam 8 via the link 9. In FIG. 2, a reciprocating sliding movement is made along the coin base 6 in the horizontal direction of the left and right.

  The drive motor and the payout coin selection solenoid 30 (not shown) are driven based on a coin payout command or the like from the housing 2, and only the coin payout operation and a specific denomination in each coin storage cylinder 5 are used. The payout is controlled.

As described above, the basic configuration of the coin dispensing device 1 according to the present invention is the same as the configuration of the coin processing device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-162817, but in the present invention, the shape of the change slide 10 is conventional. It is very different from the thing.
FIG. 3 is a top perspective view and a plan view of the change slide 10 according to the present invention.

  The change slide 10 includes a coin placement unit 11 that supports a part of the lower surface of the coin when the coin is pulled out, and a movement stop unit 14 that holds the change slide 10 in the standby position by being locked to the housing 2 during standby. And a part of locking means for determining the relative position of the change slide 10 with respect to the coin pulled out by the payout slide 7 and a movement resistance means for resisting the movement of the change slide 10.

  This locking means comprises a locking portion 12 having elastic force and a locking surface 9a (see FIG. 9A, etc.) for locking a convex portion 12a formed on the lower surface of the locking portion 12, and is a movement resistance means. Consists of a movement resistance portion 13 having an elastic force and a convex portion 21 (see FIG. 9A and the like) having an inclined surface 21a that presses the convex portion 13a formed on the upper surface of the movement resistance portion 13. The locking portion 12 and the movement resistance portion 13 are formed integrally with the change slide 10 so that the elastic force that is the locking force of the locking portion 12 is larger than the elastic force that is the resistance force of the movement resistance portion 13. I have to.

  Further, while the coin placing portion 111 of the conventional change slide 110 has an arc shape (see FIG. 16), the coin placing portion 11 of the change slide 10 according to the present invention has a quadrangular shape, and the coin receiving cylinder 5 The amount of protrusion in the inward direction is also made smaller than before, so that a sufficient space is secured between the change slide 10 and the coin base 6 in the standby state so as not to affect the rotation of the falling coins.

  The function of each part of the change slide 10 will be described in detail later.

  Next, the coin dispensing operation using the change slide shown in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to the drawing of the coin dispensing apparatus 1 cut along the cutting plane A shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. The configuration will be described in more detail. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the configuration of the lower portion of the coin dispensing device 1 in the standby state, and the cut surface A is the coin accommodating cylinder 5 that accommodates 500-yen coins among the plural coin accommodating cylinders 5. A cross section passing through the center.

  5-8 is the figure which emphasized the relationship between the coin 50 and the coin mounting part 11 of the change slide 10, and is the coin dispensing apparatus which showed each state at the time of coin dispensing three-dimensionally.

  FIG. 5 shows a standby state. At this time, the coin 50 is in the coin storage cylinder 5 and is not placed on the coin placement portion 11 of the change slide 10.

FIG. 6 shows a state where the coin immediately after the start of the movement of the link 9 is placed on the change slide. The coin 50 is moved by the payout slide 7, but the change slide 10 is not moved, and a part of the coin 50 is placed on the coin mounting portion 11 of the change slide as shown in FIG.
Thereafter, the change slide 10 moves together with the payout slide 7.

FIG. 7 shows a state when coins are detected by the coin confirmation sensor 40. At this time, a part of the coin 50 arrives directly below the coin confirmation sensor 40 while maintaining the posture placed on the coin placement portion 11 of the change slide 10, and the coin confirmation sensor 40 detects the coin 50.
Then, the payout slide 7 further moves the coin 50 in the direction of the back side of the coin storage cylinder 5 while maintaining the posture of the coin 50 horizontally by the coin placement portion 11 of the change slide 10.

  FIG. 8 shows a state when coins are paid out. At this time, the coin 50 is detached from the coin base 6 and starts dropping from the front side of the coin storage cylinder 5, and the coin confirmation sensor 40 detects the payout of the coin.

  As described above, the coin 50 is moved relatively on the change slide 10 until the change slide 10 starts to move after the payout slide 7, thereby allowing the coin placement portion of the change slide 10 to move. The range in which coins are placed on 11 can be made relatively wider at the start of movement of the change slide 10 than in the first stage (standby state).

As in the above-described embodiment, even when the coin 50 is not placed on the coin placement portion 11 of the change slide 10 in the standby state, the coin 50 is gradually placed as it moves. The posture of the coin 50 that can be detected by the coin payout confirmation sensor 40 can be maintained horizontally while maintaining a space in which the coin is not caught with the change slide 10.
That is, it is possible to realize a structure in which a coin is reliably detected by a coin confirmation sensor and a payout failure such as coin standing does not occur.

Further, the operation of each part of the change slide 10 when coins are paid out will be described, and the configuration around the change slide 10 will be described in more detail.
9A, 10A, 11A, and 12A are cross-sectional views showing the respective states at the time of coin payout, and FIGS. 9B, 10B, 11B, and 12B respectively show the locking portion 12 of the change slide 10, It is the enlarged view which emphasized the function of the movement resistance part 13 and the movement stop part 14. FIG.
Note that the payout slide 7 is not shown in FIGS. 9A to 12B.

9A and 9B show the standby state. At this time, the convex portion 12 a of the locking portion 12 is not locked to the locking surface 9 a formed on the link 9, and the movement resistance portion 13 also has a convex surface having an inclined surface 21 a formed on the housing 2. It is not pressed from the portion 21 and the locking portion 12 and the movement resistance portion 13 are not in resistance to movement. And the movement stop part 14 is contact | abutting to the pin 22 protruded from the housing | casing 2 side. The change slide 10 is kept in a standby state by the engagement between the movement stop portion 14 and the pin 22 on the housing 2 side.
In addition, the locking surface 9a of the link 9, the convex part 21 formed in the housing | casing 2, and the inclined surface 21a of the convex part 21 shall be formed on the movement path | route of the change slide 10, respectively.

10A and 10B show a state immediately after the start of movement of the payout slide 7 (see FIG. 6 and the like) and the link 9. At the start of movement, the convex portion 13a of the movement resistance portion 13 comes into contact with the inclined surface 21a of the housing 2 to obstruct the movement of the change slide 10, and the change slide 10 is not moved (stopped). Then, the coin 50 pulled out by the payout slide 7 that moves together with the link 9 is placed on the coin placement portion 11 of the change slide 10 in the stopped state. Thereby, the coin placement range of the change slide 10 becomes relatively wide.
Further, when the link 9 moves, the convex portion 12 a of the locking portion 12 of the change slide 10 is locked with the locking surface 9 a of the link 9. Then, as described above, since the elastic force that is the resistance force of the movement resistance portion 13 is weaker than the elastic force that is the locking force of the locking portion 12, the convex portion 13 a of the movement resistance portion 13 is inclined to the housing 2. Riding on the surface 21a, the change slide 10 starts moving together with the link 9.

FIG. 11A and FIG. 11B show a state when coins are detected by the coin confirmation sensor 40. At this time, the convex portion 13 a of the movement resistance portion 13 presses the convex portion 21 of the housing 2, but as described above, the elastic force that is the resistance force of the movement resistance portion 13 is locked by the locking portion 12. It is made weaker than the elastic force, which is a force, so as not to obstruct the movement of the change slide 10. Therefore, a part of the coin 50 reaches directly below the coin confirmation sensor 40 while maintaining the posture placed on the coin placement portion 11 of the change slide 10, and the coin confirmation sensor 40 detects the coin 50.
The payout slide 7 (see FIG. 7 and the like) interlocked with the link 9 while the posture of the coin 50 is held horizontally by the coin placement portion 11 of the change slide 10 further moves the coin 50 toward the back side of the coin cylinder 5. Move.

  12A and 12B show a state at the time of coin payout. At this time, the coin 50 starts to fall when it is detached from the coin base 6, and the coin confirmation sensor 40 detects the payout of the coin.

  Thereafter, the operation continues, and when the link 9 moves in the coin cylinder 5 front direction, the change slide 10 is moved in the coin cylinder 5 front direction in conjunction with the movement of the link 9. Then, while the link 9 is moving in the direction toward the front side of the coin cylinder 5, the movement stop portion 14 of the change slide 10 collides with the pin 22 on the housing 2 side, and the change slide 10 stops at the standby position.

  When the rotation of the motor cam 8 is stopped by a drive motor (not shown) that restricts the rotation of the motor cam 8 (see FIG. 2), the payout slide 7 (see FIG. 5 and the like) and the link 9 are brought into a standby position. It reaches and stops, and returns to the standby state shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B.

  At the time of coin non-payout, the payout coin selection solenoid 30 (see FIG. 2) does not operate, and the change slide 10 is maintained at the standby position even after the states of FIGS. 6, 10A and 10B. The link 9 moves in order to pay out the coins in the other coin cylinders 5, but the locking surface 9 a of the link 9 pushes up the convex parts 12 a against the locking force of the locking parts 12, and the coin cylinder 5 Continue moving in the reverse direction.

Further, when returning to the standby state again, similarly, the link 9 pushes up the convex portion 12 a against the locking force of the locking portion 12 and continues to move toward the front side of the coin cylinder 5.
During this time, since the lower surface of the coin 50 is continuously supported, the coin 50 does not fall and the coin 50 is not paid out.

  Although the embodiment using the change slide 10 having the shape shown in FIG. 3 has been described above, the movement resistance portion 13 behind the change slide 10 in FIG. 3 is not provided on the change slide 10 as shown in FIG. 13A. As shown in FIG. 13B, the movement resistance portion 23 is provided on the housing 2 side, the change slide 10 is provided with the convex portion 15 having the inclined surface 15 a, and the convex portion 23 a of the movement resistance portion 23 is the inclined surface of the change slide 10. Alternatively, the convex portion may be pressed so that a resistance force is applied to the change slide 10.

In each of the above embodiments, the locking portion is formed integrally with the change slide 10 and the locking surface 9a is formed on the link 9. However, the locking surface is formed on the change slide 10 and the link 9 A locking portion having an elastic shape may be formed.
In addition, it is possible to appropriately change the design of either the above-described locking means or movement resistance means provided either before or after the movement direction of the change slide and any one above or below the change slide. Is possible.

  Thus, in this coin dispensing device, the change slide relative to the coins drawn out by the payout slide is composed of a pair of a locking portion having an elastic force and a locking surface for locking the locking portion. A moving resistance means that consists of a pair of locking means for determining the position, and a movement resistance portion having elasticity and a convex portion having an inclined surface that presses the movement resistance portion, resists the movement of the change slide. Provided before and after the movement direction of the slide, the locking and locking release of the locking means and the resistance and resistance release of the moving resistance means are performed in accordance with the movement of the change slide, and the locking portion and the locking One of the locking surfaces is formed integrally with the change slide, and the other is formed integrally with the link on the movement path of the change slide, and the movement resistance portion and the inclined surface are formed. Of the protrusions having either one is integral with the change slide, the other has a housing formed integrally with the apparatus main body on the movement path of the change slide.

  As a result, the present invention has a configuration in which the coins pulled out from the coin storage cylinder are reliably detected by the coin confirmation sensor provided on the back side of the coin storage cylinder, without causing any payout failure, and easily adding new parts. To provide a coin dispensing device that can be realized with the same component structure as before and can be promoted for mass production without changing the configuration of peripheral components or increasing the size of the entire coin processing device.
