Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for separating and feeding out coins stored in a coin storage unit one by one.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a coin processing unit that processes coins is used in various types of equipment such as a ticket vending machine that sells tickets such as tickets, a settlement machine that settles transaction amounts, and a vending machine that sells articles. Some coin processing units have a configuration in which a plurality of coins can be inserted at a time in order to improve the convenience of users and the like. The coin processing unit having this configuration temporarily stores a plurality of coins input at a time in a coin storage unit. The coin processing unit includes a coin feeding mechanism that feeds out coins stored in a coin storage unit one by one (see Patent Documents 1 and 2, etc.).

  The coin feeding mechanism includes a rotating disk having a contact surface that comes into contact with coins stored in a coin storage unit (storage unit). This rotating disk has protrusions on the contact surface. The coin feeding mechanism rotates the rotating disk with a rotating shaft that is substantially orthogonal to the contact surface, thereby catching and scraping out the coins stored in the coin storage portion by a protrusion formed on the contact surface. The coins scraped from the coin storage unit are fed out to the outside (coin transport path).

  The fed-out coins are conveyed along the coin conveyance path, and an identification process for identifying the denomination and authenticity is performed by the identification unit. Further, a transport process for transporting to a stacker, a refund port or the like is performed according to the identification result of the identification process in the identification unit.

  However, the protrusion formed on the contact surface of the rotating disk may catch and scrape a plurality of coins. In order to feed coins one by one to the coin transport path, it is necessary to make one coin that has been scraped and scraped by a protrusion formed on the contact surface of the rotating disk. That is, when the projection formed on the contact surface of the rotating disk catches and scrapes a plurality of coins, it is necessary to return (drop) the extra coins to the coin storage unit.

  For example, in Patent Document 2, when a protrusion formed on the contact surface of a rotating disk catches and scrapes a plurality of coins, a pressing member that presses the coin that is returned (dropped) to the coin storage unit is attached. This pressing member presses the coin by the biasing force of the spring. For this reason, if the urging force of the pressing member is weak, the pressed coin cannot be dropped. On the contrary, if the urging force of the pressing member is strong, the pressed coin jumps in the coin feeding mechanism. That is, the adjustment work of the urging force of the pressing member is complicated and troublesome.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a technique capable of separating and feeding out coins stored in a coin storage unit one by one with a simple configuration.

  In order to achieve the above object, the coin feeding mechanism of the present invention is configured as follows.

  The coin storage unit can store a plurality of coins. The coin storage unit is a space for temporarily storing coins input by a user or the like.

  The rotating disk has a contact surface that comes into contact with the coins stored in the coin storage unit. In addition, a protrusion is formed on the contact surface. The drive control unit controls the rotation of the rotating disk by controlling an electric motor (motor) that rotates the rotating disk. By rotating the rotating disk, the protrusion formed on the contact surface of the rotating disk hooks the coin stored in the coin storage unit and scrapes it out from the coin storage unit. The guide member guides the coins scraped from the coin storage portion to the outside (a coin conveyance path or the like) by a protrusion formed on the contact surface of the rotating disk. For example, the rotation axis of the rotating disk is substantially orthogonal to the contact surface of the rotating disk. The rotation axis of the rotating disk is substantially the center of the rotating disk.

  Further, the drive control unit changes the rotation speed of the rotating disk by the electric motor until the coin scraped from the coin storage unit reaches the guide member. For example, the drive control unit switches the rotation speed of the rotating disk between the first speed V1 and the second speed V2 (V1> V2).

  Scraped when the rotational speed of the rotating disk was accelerated (when switching from the second speed V2 to the first speed V1) or when decelerating (when switching from the first speed V1 to the second speed V2) Inertia acts on the coin. Therefore, even if the protrusion formed on the contact surface of the rotating disk is caught and scraped by multiple coins, excess coins are removed by the inertial force that acts when the rotating disk rotates or decelerates. Can be dropped in the coin storage. For this reason, the coins stored in the coin storage part can be separated and fed one by one.

  Further, since it is only necessary to set the first speed V1 and the second speed V2 as the rotation speed of the rotating disk, adjustment can be easily performed without taking time.

  In addition, what is necessary is just to change the rotational speed of a rotary disk at least once before the coin scraped out from the coin storage part arrives at a guide member. In addition, the rotation speed of the rotating disk is changed from the first speed V1 to the second speed V2 and the second speed until the coin scraped from the coin storage unit reaches the guide member. The change from V2 to the first speed V1 may both be performed once or more.

  Moreover, it is preferable to rotate a rotating disk with the rotating shaft from which a contact surface becomes an inclined surface. In this way, since the coin is placed on the contact surface of the rotating disk, the coin stored in the coin storage portion can be scraped smoothly.

  Moreover, you may make it the structure provided with the 1 sheet separation member which blocks the passage of the several coin which is located between a coin storage part and a guide member and has overlapped on the contact surface of a rotary disk. If comprised in this way, the coin stored in the coin storage part can be separated and fed out more reliably one by one.

  In addition, when it is set as the structure provided with one sheet separation member, a drive control part changes at least once the rotational speed of the rotating disk by an electric motor until the coin scraped out from the coin storage part reaches | attains one sheet separation member. You can do it.

  According to this invention, the coins stored in the coin storage part can be separated and fed one by one. Moreover, since it is only necessary to set the rotation speed of the rotating disk, adjustment can be performed easily without any trouble.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the main part of the ticket vending machine. FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing the appearance of the ticket vending machine. The ticket vending machine 1 includes a control unit 2, a display unit 3, an operation unit 4, a ticket issuing unit 5, a coin processing unit 6, a bill processing unit 7, a wireless communication unit 8, and a communication unit 9. ing. The ticket vending machine 1 issues a ticket such as a ticket. The ticket vending machine 1 can also perform processing such as charging (payment) for an IC card that can be used as a boarding ticket.

  The control unit 2 controls each unit included in the ticket vending machine 1 main body.

  The display unit 3 has a display 3a provided on the front surface of the main body, and controls screen display on the display 3a.

  The operation unit 4 includes input devices such as a touch panel 4a attached on the screen of the display 3a and a key operation unit 4b having a numeric keypad. The operation unit 4 detects a user's input operation on the input device and notifies the control unit 2 of this.

  The ticket issuing unit 5 issues a boarding ticket. The ticket vending machine 1 is provided with a ticket issuing slot 5a, a card insertion / release slot 5b and the like on the front surface of the main body. The ticket issuing unit 5 releases a ticket to be issued to the user to the ticket opening 5a. Further, the ticket issuing unit 5 takes in the IC card inserted into the card insertion / release port 5b, reads the card data recorded in the IC card, and writes the card data to the IC card (card data update). After that, it is discharged to the card insertion / release port 5b for return to the user. The wireless communication unit 8 executes reading of card data recorded on the IC card and writing of card data to the card by wireless communication with the IC card.

  The coin processing unit 6 accepts coins used for the settlement of the transaction amount for issuing a ticket, etc., and discharges change coins to the user. The ticket vending machine 1 is provided with a coin insertion slot 6a and a change coin receiving tray 6b on the front surface of the main body. The coin slot 6a has a shape that can be inserted into the main body of the ticket vending machine 1 even when a plurality of coins (about 2 to 3) are overlapped. The coin processing unit 6 has a coin identifying unit that identifies the denomination and authenticity of the coins inserted by the user and the change coins released as change to the user. Details of the coin processing unit 6 will be described later.

  The banknote processing unit 7 accepts banknotes used for the settlement of the transaction amount for issuing tickets, etc., and discharges change banknotes to the user. The ticket vending machine 1 is provided with a bill insertion slot 7a and a bill release slot 7b on the front surface of the main body. The banknote processing unit 7 has a banknote identification unit for identifying the denomination and authenticity of the inserted banknote inserted by the user at the banknote insertion slot 7a and the change banknote discharged to the user at the banknote discharge slot 7b. .

  The communication unit 9 performs communication with other types of station equipment such as an automatic ticket gate and a station server (not shown) and other ticket machines 1 via a network.

  Here, a ticket issuing process for a ticket such as a ticket in the ticket vending machine 1 will be briefly described. The ticket vending machine 1 accepts input of money (coins or banknotes) by a user. The money inserted by the user may be one of coins or bills, or both. Coins are inserted at the coin insertion slot 6a. A bill is inserted at the bill insertion slot 7a.

  The coin processing unit 6 detects the total amount of coins inserted (the amount of coins inserted) when a coin is inserted at the coin slot 6a. Moreover, the banknote processing unit 7 detects the total amount (banknote insertion amount) of the inserted banknote, when a banknote is inserted in the banknote insertion slot 7a. The ticket vending machine 1 calculates the total amount of the coin input amount and the bill input amount as the input amount.

  When no coin is inserted at the coin insertion slot 6a, the coin insertion amount is zero. Similarly, when no bill is inserted at the bill insertion slot 7a, the bill insertion amount is zero.

  In the operation unit 4, the ticket vending machine 1 receives a ticket issued by a user for which a ticket is desired. At this time, the ticket vending machine 1 accepts ticketing for tickets less than or equal to the total amount entered by the user, and does not accept ticketing for tickets exceeding the total amount entered by the user.

  When the ticket vending machine 1 accepts a ticket issued, the ticket issuing unit 5 issues the accepted ticket (releases the ticket to the ticket outlet 5a). The ticket vending machine 1 releases the change if it is necessary to return the change to the user (when a ticket less than the total amount entered by the user is issued). When a coin (a change coin) is discharged as change, the coin processing unit 6 releases the change coin to the change coin tray 6b. Moreover, when discharging | emitting a banknote (change banknote) as a change, the banknote processing unit 7 discharge | releases a change banknote to the banknote discharge port 7b.

  In addition, a process for charging the IC card in the ticket vending machine 1 will be briefly described. The ticket vending machine 1 takes in the IC card inserted into the card insertion / release port 5b and reads the card data recorded on the IC card. The card data is read by wireless communication with the IC card in the wireless communication unit 8. Moreover, the ticket vending machine 1 accepts the insertion of money (coins or banknotes) by the user. The processing of inserted money is the same as the above-described ticket issuing process.

  In the operation unit 4, the ticket vending machine 1 accepts designation of a charge amount desired by the user. The charge amount for accepting the designation is less than or equal to the total amount entered by the user. When the ticket vending machine 1 receives the designation of the charge amount, the ticket issuing unit 5 charges the IC card with the designated charge amount. The wireless communication unit 8 instructs the IC card to update the card data, and the IC card updates the card data according to this instruction. The ticket vending machine 1 discharges the IC card with the updated card data to the card insertion / release port 5b. Further, the ticket vending machine 1 releases the change if it is necessary to return the change to the user (when the charge amount is less than the total amount inserted by the user). The change is released in the same manner as the ticket issuing process described above.

  Next, the coin processing unit 6 will be described in detail. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the main part of the coin processing unit. The coin processing unit 6 includes a control unit 20, a coin feeding unit 21, a coin transport unit 22, and a coin identifying unit 23.

  The control unit 20 controls the operation of each part of the coin processing unit 6 main body. Further, the control unit 20 performs input / output with the control unit 2.

  The coin feeding unit 21 separates the coins inserted at the coin insertion slot 6a one by one and guides them to the coin conveyance path. The coin feeding unit 21 has a coin feeding mechanism according to the present invention.

  The coin conveyance part 22 conveys the coin guided to the coin conveyance path by the coin feeding part 21 along the coin conveyance path.

  The coin identifying unit 23 identifies the denomination and true / false for each coin transported along the coin transport path. The coin identifying unit 23 corresponds to the coin processing unit referred to in the present invention.

  Moreover, the coin conveyance part 22 conveys and accommodates in the coin stacker provided in the money type according to the denomination in the coin identification part 23, and a genuine identification result.

  Next, the coin feeding unit 21 will be specifically described. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a main part of the coin feeding part. FIG. 5 is a schematic view of the coin feeding unit. FIG. 6 is a front view of the coin feeding portion (a view in the direction of arrow A shown in FIG. 5). 7 is a cross-sectional view in the BB direction in FIG. FIG. 8A is a schematic diagram showing a contact surface of a rotating disk, and FIG. 8B is a schematic diagram of a cross section in the CC direction in FIG. 8A.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the coin feeding unit 21 includes a drive control unit 31 and a motor 32. The motor 32 rotates the rotating disk 41. The motor 32 may be a pulse motor or a DC motor. The motor 32 corresponds to the electric motor referred to in the present invention.

  The drive control unit 31 controls the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 32 a of the motor 32, that is, the rotation speed of the rotating disk 41. The drive control unit 31 corresponds to the drive control unit referred to in the present invention.

  The rotating disk 41 is a plate-like member whose outer shape is substantially circular.

  Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 5-7, the coin storage part 40 which accommodates the coin which the user etc. thrown in in the coin insertion slot 6a flows in the coin feeding part 21, and temporarily stores this coin which flowed in is formed. Has been. The rotating disk 41 is located in the coin storage unit 40 and is attached so that one surface is in contact with a coin stored in the coin storage unit 40. One surface of the rotating disk 41 that contacts the coin is a contact surface referred to in the present invention (this surface is also referred to as a contact surface in the following description). The coins stored in the coin storage unit 40 are prevented from moving to the opposite surface side of the contact surface of the rotating disk 41 by the rotating disk 41.

  The rotating shaft 32a of the motor 32 is an axis substantially orthogonal to the contact surface of the rotating disk 41 as shown in FIGS. The rotating shaft 32 a is the approximate center of the rotating disk 41. The rotating shaft 32a is attached so that the contact surface of the rotating disk 41 is inclined with respect to the vertical direction (for example, the angle between the vertical direction and the contacting surface of the rotating disk 41 is 10 to 30 degrees. It is attached to the extent.) In this example, the rotating disk 41 is rotated counterclockwise as shown in FIG. 8 by the motor 32 when a coin is paid out.

  As shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of protrusions 41 a are formed on the contact surface of the rotating disk 41. FIG. 8 shows an example in which five protrusions 41 a are formed at equal intervals on the circumference whose center is the center of the rotating disk 41. The interval between two adjacent protrusions 41a may not be equal as long as it is longer than the diameter of the largest coin to be handled.

  The protrusion 41a may be formed on the circumference of a plurality of circumferences whose centers are the center of the rotating disk 41 and have different radii.

  Further, the coin feeding portion 21 is provided with a guide member 42 and a single sheet separating member 43. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the coin storage part 40, the one-sheet separating member 43, and the guide member 42 are arranged in this order in the rotational direction of the rotary disk 41. The single-sheet separating member 43 is attached so that a gap is formed between the contact surface of the rotating disk 41 and the contact surface. This gap is slightly larger than the thickness of the largest coin to be handled (for example, a gap of about 2 mm). The gap is smaller than the thickness of two coins to be handled.

  The guide member 42 is a member that guides the coins fed out from the coin feeding unit 21 to the coin conveyance path.

  Here, the movement of the coins fed out from the coin storage part 40 to the coin transport path by the coin feeding part 21 will be described. 9A, 9 </ b> B, and 9 </ b> C are diagrams for explaining the movement of the coins fed out to the coin conveyance path by the coin feeding unit. The rotating disk 41 is rotated counterclockwise as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, the protrusion 41 a provided on the contact surface of the rotating rotating disk 41 hooks the side surface of the coin stored in the coin storage unit 40, and this coin is removed from the coin storage unit 40. Scrap out.

  The coins scraped from the coin storage unit 40 are conveyed to the single separation member 43 as the rotary disk 41 rotates (see FIG. 9A → FIG. 9B). As described above, the contact surface of the rotating disk 41 is inclined with respect to the vertical direction. Therefore, the coin with the protrusion 41 a hooked on the side surface is placed on the contact surface of the rotary disk 41. This prevents the coin from coming off the protrusion 41a and falling into the coin storage unit 40.

  When the coin reaches the attachment position of the single sheet separating member 43 by the rotation of the rotating disk 41, the coin is conveyed to the guide member 42 through the gap between the contact surface of the rotating disk 41 and the single sheet separating member 43. The As described above, the gap between the contact surface of the rotating disk 41 and the single sheet separating member 43 is smaller than the thickness of two coins to be handled. Therefore, even if a plurality of coins scraped from the coin storage unit 40 reach the single separation member 43 in a state of being overlapped, the extra coins are dropped into the coin storage unit 40 and one coin is used as the guide member 42. It can be conveyed (see FIG. 9B → FIG. 9C).

  The coins conveyed to the guide member 42 are sent by the guide member 42 to a coin conveyance path provided outside the coin feeding portion 21.

  Here, the rotation control of the motor 32 by the drive control unit 31 will be described. The drive control unit 31 switches the rotation speed of the motor 32 (the rotation speed of the rotating disk 41) between V1 and V2 (V1> V2). V1 is the first speed referred to in the present invention, and V2 is the second speed referred to in the present invention. In this example, the drive control unit 31 changes the rotation speed of the motor 32 at a constant cycle, as shown in FIG. T shown in FIG. 10 is the time for the rotating disk 41 to make one rotation. In this example, the time t1 when the rotation speed of the rotating disk 41 is V1 and the time t2 when the rotation speed of the rotating disk 41 is V2 are the same.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the number of times the rotational speed of the rotating disk 41 is switched from V1 to V2 and the number of times the rotational speed of the rotating disk 41 is switched from V2 to V1 during each rotation of the rotating disk 41 is 5 times. I have to. This is because the number of protrusions 41a provided on the contact surface of the rotating disk 41 is five, so that any coin caught by any protrusion 41a is accelerated when the rotating speed of the rotating disk is accelerated (switching from V2 to V1). This is to equalize the inertial force that acts during deceleration (when switching from V1 to V2).

  The pattern for changing the rotation speed of the motor 32 is not limited to the pattern shown in FIG. 10, and a coin 41 scraped from the coin storage unit 40 by the protrusion 41 a provided on the contact surface of the rotary disk 41 is hooked on the side surface. What is the pattern in which at least one of the timing of decelerating the rotational speed of the rotating disk 41 from V1 to V2 and the timing of accelerating from V2 to V1 arrives once in the period until reaching the sheet separating member 43? It may be a simple pattern. Further, the change pattern of the rotation speed of the motor 32 may not be a constant cycle.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 to 14, when the protrusion 41 a formed on the contact surface of the rotary disk 41 is hooked on the side surface and scrapes one coin out of the coin storage part 40, the rotational speed of the rotary disk 41 is reduced. When changing (acceleration from V2 to V1 or deceleration from V1 to V2), an external force such as an inertial force acts on the coin. The coin A shown in FIGS. 11 to 14 is a coin that is fed out by the guide member 42, and the coin B is a coin that is dropped (returned) to the coin storage unit 40. 11 and 12 show a state in which one coin has been scraped from the coin storage unit 40. FIG. 13 and 14 show a state in which two coins are scraped from the coin storage unit 40. FIG.

  More specifically, FIG. 11 shows a state in which the protrusion 41a is hooked and one coin A is properly scraped from the coin storage unit 40. FIG. 12 shows an inappropriate state in which one coin B is scraped from the coin storage unit 40, but the scraped coin B rides on the protrusion 41a. FIG. 13 shows a state in which the coin A that has been hooked by the protrusion 41 a and scraped from the coin storage unit 40 has been scraped from the coin storage unit 40 by hooking another coin B. FIG. 14 shows a state in which the coin A that has been hooked by the protrusion 41 a and scraped from the coin storage unit 40 is scraped from the coin storage unit 40 by hooking another coin B.

  As described above, the drive control unit 31 switches the rotation speed of the motor 32 (the rotation speed of the rotating disk 41) between V1 and V2 (V1> V2), as shown in FIG. The coins A and B scraped out from the coin storage unit 40 are subjected to an external force such as an inertial force in the conveying direction accompanying the rotation of the rotating disk 41 when the rotating speed of the rotating disk 41 is switched. For this reason, the coin A that the protrusion 41a is hooked in an appropriate state is hardly displaced from the protrusion 41a by an external force such as an inertial force that is applied when the rotational speed of the rotary disk 41 is switched. Therefore, the coin A hooked with the protrusion 41a in an appropriate state is unlikely to fall into the coin storage unit 40. On the other hand, the coin B that is not hooked in a proper state with the protrusion 41a is displaced with respect to the protrusion 41a and another coin by an external force such as an inertial force that is applied when the rotation speed of the rotary disk 41 is switched. Accordingly, the coin B that is not hooked in a proper state by the protrusion 41 a falls into the coin storage unit 40.

  As described above, the coin feeding unit 21 according to this example can separate and feed the coins stored in the coin storage unit 40 one by one. Further, since only the first speed V1 and the second speed V2 need be set as the rotation speed of the rotating disk 41, adjustment can be performed easily without any trouble.

  Further, the drive control unit 31 switches the rotational speed of the rotary disk 41 at least once before the protrusions 41 a are hooked and the coins A and B scraped out from the coin storage unit 40 reach the single separation member 43. . Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the arrival of the single sheet separating member 43 in a state where a plurality of coins A and B overlap. For this reason, the occurrence of a situation in which the coins A and B are sandwiched between the contact surface of the rotating disk 41 and the one-sheet separating member 43 is also suppressed.

  When the coins A and B are sandwiched between the contact surface of the rotating disk 41 and the one-sheet separating member 43, the coin feeding unit 21 rotates the motor 32 in the reverse direction (rotates clockwise) to rotate the rotating disk 41. The coins sandwiched between the contact surface and the single sheet separating member 43 are dropped into the coin storage unit 40.

  Moreover, since the coin feeding part 21 can drop the coin B which the protrusion 41a is not hooked in an appropriate state to the coin storage part 40 by switching the rotational speed of the rotary disk 41, as described above. The single sheet separating member 43 may not be particularly provided.

  Moreover, the coin processing unit 6 according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described ticket vending machine 1, but can be used for various types of equipment such as a settlement machine that settles a transaction amount and a vending machine that sells articles.
