<First Embodiment>
An integrated coin detection device according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  The accumulated coin detection device 11 according to the first embodiment detects an accumulated coin S in an accumulated state in which a plurality of loose coins C of a single denomination are aligned in the radial direction and accumulated in the axial direction. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), the integrated coin detection device 11 is shown in FIG. 1 (b) and an integrated coin S in a state before packaging, in which a plurality of loose coins C are accumulated. Thus, it is possible to detect the excess or deficiency of the number of coins with respect to the specified number (50) of packaging units for both the accumulated coins S wrapped in wrapping paper H in the accumulated state and packed into the state of bar metal B. It has become. The integrated coin detection device 11 detects, for example, an excess or deficiency of the accumulated coins S before packaging in the packaging process, or an excess or deficiency of the accumulated coins S of the bar B after packaging in the packaging process. Used for.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the accumulated coin detecting device 11 has a partially cylindrical mounting portion 22 having a partially cylindrical mounting surface 21 having a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the accumulated coin S, as shown in FIG. 1. The contact portion 24 provided on one end side in the central axis direction of the placement portion 22, the pressing portion 26 provided on the other end side in the central axis direction of the placement portion 22, and the pressing portion 26 are urged. And a set portion 31 having a spring 28. As shown in FIG. 2, the set portion 31 is horizontally arranged in a direction in which the placement portion 22 opens upward, in other words, in a state of being recessed downward.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the contact portion 24 provided on one end side in the central axis direction of the mounting portion 22 faces the other end side in the central axis direction and extends in a direction perpendicular to the central axis. It has a surface 25. The pressing portion 26 provided on the other end side in the central axis direction of the mounting portion 22 has a pressing surface 27 that extends toward one end side in the central axis direction and extends orthogonally to the central axis. The contact surface 25 of the contact portion 24 and the pressing surface 27 of the pressing portion 26 are opposed to each other. The pressing portion 26 is supported so as to be movable in the central axis direction of the mounting portion 22, and the spring 28 biases the pressing portion 26 in a direction approaching the contact portion 24.

  In the set part 31, the accumulated coins S are placed on the placing part 22 on the outer peripheral surface, and at that time, one end part in the accumulating direction (in the case of the bar metal B) is brought into contact with the abutting part. The other end portion in the stacking direction is opposed to the pressing surface 27 of the pressing portion 26 so as to be opposed to the 24 abutting surface 25. In the accumulated coin S set in the set part 31, the coin C at one end in the accumulating direction abuts on the abutting surface 25 of the abutting part 24 by the urging force of the spring 28, and the coin C at the other accumulating direction is the pressing part 26. The pressing surface 27 is held between the contact portion 24 and the pressing portion 26. The set unit 31 maintains the set accumulated coins S in an accumulated state in which all coins C are accumulated in the axial direction with the central axis parallel to the central axis of the mounting surface 21.

  Here, there is a gap between the contact surface 25 and the pressing surface 27 and the mounting surface 21, and the contact surface 25 and the pressing surface 27 are not packaged as shown in FIG. It is possible to hold the accumulated coins S in contact with the coins C at both ends of the coins S, and they are packed in an accumulated state as shown in FIG. It is also possible to hold the accumulated coins S by contacting the coins C at both ends of the accumulated coins S.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the integrated coin detection device 11 has a flexible substrate 41 that is curved in a partial cylindrical shape following the curvature of the placement portion 22 below the placement portion 22 of the set portion 31. Yes. The flexible substrate 41 has flexibility, and although the basic state is a flat plate, it can be bent from this state. The flexible substrate 41 is curved and is in close contact with the partial cylindrical surface lower surface 23 of the partial cylindrical mounting portion 22 of the set portion 31.

  A detection coil 44 having a pattern shown in FIG. 3 is formed on the flexible substrate 41 in a flat plate state. The conducting wire portion 45 constituting the detection coil 44 is wound in a rectangular spiral shape so as to be elongated as a whole in the same plane as the plane on which the flexible substrate 41 spreads. In addition, the conducting wire portion 45 is equally spaced on one end side in the longitudinal direction and both sides in the width direction of the detection coil 44, the other end side in the longitudinal direction is wider than the one end side and both sides in the width direction, and the other end side is further spaced apart. Is rolled up to spread. That is, the detection coil 44 changes the pattern interval from sparse to dense along the length direction.

  Thus, the detection coil 44 has a pattern in which one end side in the longitudinal direction is a dense portion 51 and the other end side is a sparse portion 52 that is sparser than the dense portion 51. That is, the detection coil 44 has a pattern in which one end side in the longitudinal direction is dense and the other end side is sparse.

  The flexible substrate 41 aligns the longitudinal direction of the detection coil 44 with the longitudinal direction of the placement portion 22 of the set portion 31 and superimposes the longitudinal positions of the detection coil 44 and the placement portion 22 so that the set portion 31 It is arrange | positioned under the mounting part 22. FIG. Since the flexible substrate 41 is curved in a partial cylindrical shape following the curvature of the placement portion 22, the detection coil 44 of the flexible substrate 41 also follows the curvature of the placement surface 21 of the placement portion 22 in the width direction. It will be curved into a partial cylinder. In the flexible substrate 41, the sparse portion 52 of the detection coil 44 is disposed on the abutting surface 25 side, and the dense portion 51 of the detection coil 44 is disposed on the pressing surface 27 side. The dense portion 51 of the detection coil 44 has a distance from the contact surface 25 in the longitudinal direction of the placement surface 21 that is equal to the axial length of the specified number of accumulated coins S (for example, 50) that is not excessive or insufficient. Placed in position.

  The set unit 31 abuts one end of the accumulation direction on the abutment surface 25 and the accumulation coin S set with the outer peripheral portion abutting on the placement surface 21, the accumulation direction of which is the longitudinal direction of the detection coil 44. The other end portion in the integration direction is located on the dense portion 51 side of the detection coil 44. The detection coil 44 is curved along the outer peripheral surface of the accumulated coin S set in the setting unit 31.

  The integrated coin detection device 11 applies an alternating current to the detection coil 44, detects the amount of change in the oscillation frequency (inductance, impedance) as a detection data value, and determines whether or not the detection data value is greater than or equal to a lower limit value. The detecting unit 55 for detecting the presence or absence of the accumulated coins S in the set unit 31 is provided. That is, if the detected data value is smaller than the lower limit value, the detecting unit 55 detects that the accumulated coin S is not in the set unit 31, and if the detected data value is greater than or equal to the lower limit value, the accumulated coin S is in the set unit 31. Detect that.

  Further, the detection unit 55 detects whether or not the number of stacked coins S set in the setting unit 31 is a predetermined number depending on whether or not the detected data value is within a predetermined allowable range. That is, the detection unit 55 determines that the number of stacked coins S is a predetermined number if the detected data value is within a predetermined allowable range, and the number of stacked coins S if the detected data value is not within the predetermined allowable range. Judge that there is excess or deficiency.

  According to the accumulated coin detection device 11 of the first embodiment described above, the accumulated coins S set in the set unit 31 are accumulated by the detection coil 44 arranged so that the longitudinal direction thereof is along the accumulation direction. Since the presence / absence of the coins S and the excess / deficiency of the number of accumulated coins S are detected, the presence / absence of the accumulated coins S and the excess / deficiency of the accumulated number of coins can be detected in a small space.

  In addition, the set portion 31 is arranged so that the end portion in the stacking direction opposite to the contact surface 25 serving as a reference for the set coins S is positioned on the dense side of one end of the detection coil 44. Thus, the detection accuracy of the position of the stacking coin S in the stacking direction can be improved, and the detection accuracy of the excess or deficiency of the stacked coins S can be improved.

  That is, the intensity of the magnetic field generated from the detection coil 44 with the pattern interval changed varies on the detection coil 44. When the pattern interval of the detection coil 44 is narrow (dense side), the generated magnetic field is strong. Therefore, when the medium is installed, the amount of change in inductance is large. Conversely, when the pattern interval is wide (sparse side), the generated magnetic field is It is weak and the amount of change in inductance when the medium is installed is small. That is, in the output value of the detection coil 44, the difference for one coin increases (detection accuracy is high) because the dense part of the sparse / dense pattern, the uniform pattern, the sparse part of the sparse / dense pattern, It becomes the order of. Therefore, as in the first embodiment, the detection coil 44 is arranged in the dense portion of the detection coil 44 having a sparse / dense pattern so that the end portion farthest from the reference of the accumulated coins S is located. Therefore, it is possible to satisfactorily detect the excess or deficiency of the coins at the end farthest from the standard of the accumulated coins S, and it is possible to accurately detect the excess or deficiency of the number of coins of the accumulated coins S. In addition, it is possible to detect the excess and deficiency with high accuracy for both the accumulated coin S before packaging that is not packaged in the accumulated state and the accumulated coin S that is packaged in the accumulated state and becomes the state of the bar B. It becomes.

  In the integrated coin detection device 11 according to the first embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 4A, the set number of 10-yen coins in the set unit 31 approaches the specified number (for example, 50) and approaches the dense unit 51. When approaching, the width of change in the detected data value with an increase / decrease of one sheet increases. On the other hand, as a comparative example, when the set unit 31 is arranged so that the stacking direction end on the opposite side to the contact surface 25 of the set coin S is positioned on the sparse side of the detection coil 44, FIG. As shown in (b), when the set number of 10-yen coins on the set unit 31 approaches a specified number (for example, 50) and approaches the sparse portion 52, the width of the change in the detected data value with one increase / decrease is as follows: It becomes smaller than the integrated coin detection device 11 of the first embodiment.

  In addition, according to the accumulated coin detection device 11 of the first embodiment, the detection coil 44 is curved along the outer peripheral surface of the accumulated coin S set in the set unit 31, so that more space is saved. By approaching the accumulated coins S as a whole, the detection accuracy can be improved. That is, since the detection range can be widened without waste, detection accuracy can be improved. However, even if the detection coil 44 is planar, it is possible to detect the presence / absence of the accumulated coins S and the excess or deficiency of the accumulated number of coins, so that it is possible to use a conventional flat rigid substrate such as glass epoxy resin. It is.

  In addition, since the detection coil 44 is formed on the flexible flexible substrate 41, the detection coil 44 can be easily formed in a curved shape, and more space is saved.

  In addition, since the flexible substrate 41 is provided in close contact with the lower surface 23 of the placement portion 22 of the set portion 31, the mounting space is suppressed and more effective in detecting the presence or absence (and excess or deficiency) of coins. A detection area can be secured.

  Moreover, since it is the structure clamped between the contact parts 24 by the press part 26 which moves the accumulation | storage coin S along an accumulation direction, for example, the excess and deficiency of the accumulation | stacking number of the coins before packaging incorporated in a coin packaging apparatus Can be automatically detected. Here, the mounting portion 22 of the set portion 31 is inclined or vertically arranged so that the end surface on one side of the stacked coins S in the stacking direction is brought into contact with the contact surface 25 by the weight of the stacked coins S. Also good. In this case, the pressing portion 26 and the spring 28 can be eliminated.

Second Embodiment
The integrated coin detection device 11 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7 focusing on the differences from the second embodiment.

  The accumulated coin detection device 11 of the second embodiment detects an excess or deficiency of the accumulated coins S packaged in the state of the bar B. As shown in FIG. 5, the integrated coin detection device 11 of the second embodiment is arranged horizontally with the placement portion 22 of the set portion 31 recessed downward. A pair of wall portions 61 rising from the placement portion 22 are formed on both sides of the placement portion 22 in the axial direction. The wall surfaces 62 of the pair of wall portions 61 facing each other are spread orthogonally to the central axis of the placement portion 22. The distance between the wall surfaces 62 of the pair of wall portions 61 is slightly longer than the length of the bar B, so that the bar B can be easily inserted and removed. For this reason, the bar B set in the set part 31 is movable in the range between the wall surfaces 62 in the axial direction (stacking direction of the stacked coins S).

  In the integrated coin detection device 11 of the second embodiment, a flexible substrate 41 that is curved in a partial cylindrical shape following the curvature of the placement portion 22 below the placement portion 22 of the set portion 31 is shown in FIG. Thus, a pair of detection coils 44 having a pattern in which one end side in the longitudinal direction is a dense portion 51 and the other end side is a sparse portion 52 are arranged in series in the longitudinal direction. The flexible substrate 41 matches the longitudinal direction of the pair of detection coils 44 with the longitudinal direction of the mounting portion 22 of the set portion 31 and overlaps the longitudinal positions of the pair of detection coils 44 and the mounting portion 22. .

  In the pair of detection coils 44, one detection coil 44 and the other detection coil 44 are oppositely arranged in the opposite directions. In other words, the pair of detection coils 44 are arranged so that the density is alternated between one detection coil 44 and the other detection coil 44. One detection coil 44 is arranged so that the opposite side to the other detection coil 44 is the dense part 51, and the other detection coil 44 is also arranged so that the opposite side to the one detection coil 44 is the dense part 51. That is, a pair of detection coils 44 having patterns whose pattern intervals are changed from sparse to dense are arranged in series so that the dense portions thereof face outward.

  One detection coil 44 has one end in the axial direction of the bar B set in the set portion 31 without excess or shortage close to the dense portion 51, and the other detection coil 44 is in excess of the set in the set portion 31. The other end in the axial direction of the bar B without any shortage is disposed so as to be close to the dense portion 51. Accordingly, the pair of detection coils 44 are close to the center in the axial direction of the bar B without the excess or deficiency in which the sparse portion 52 is set in the set portion 31.

  As described above, since the set bar B is movable in the range between the wall surfaces 62 in the setting unit 31, the position is not determined, but the bar B is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7 (b), the intermediate portion of the set portion 31 is spaced from the wall surfaces 62 on both sides. As shown in c), the accumulated number of the accumulated coins S in the bar B is extremely small (for example, in any state where the other end of the set part 31 is brought into contact with the other wall surface 62 (for example, If there is no 25 or less, which is half of the normal number of metal bars, the two detection coils 44 arranged in series are arranged so as to straddle the longitudinal direction.

  The detection unit 55 detects the detection data value corresponding to the position of this one end with one detection coil 44 close to one end of the accumulated coin S in the dense portion 51, and the other of the same accumulated coin S A detection data value corresponding to the position of the other end is detected by the other detection coil 44 close to the end of the other end in the dense portion 51. And the detection part 55 detects the presence or absence of the bar metal B of the set part 31, and the presence or absence of the number of coins of the accumulation | storage coin S of the bar metal B based on these detection data values.

  Here, when the number of accumulated coins S in the bar B is extremely small (for example, 25 or less, which is half of the normal bar), the arrangement of the bar B on the set unit 31 is as follows. It may happen in some cases that an arrangement state in which there is no coin C in the central portion is not achieved in the state of FIGS. In other words, a case where the bar B is not arranged so as to straddle the two detection coils 44 can be considered. In such an arrangement state, the accumulated coins S are not present on any one of the two detection coils 44. Therefore, since it is determined that there is no accumulated coin S from the detection data value from the detection coil 44, the detection unit 55 in this case does not detect the detection data value of the other detection coil 44. It is determined that the number of coins is insufficient.

  According to the accumulated coin detection device 11 of the second embodiment described above, since the detection coils 44 are provided in a pair with their density being opposite to each other, the relative positions of both ends of the accumulated coins S in the accumulation direction are accurately determined. It can be detected well. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a reference for the position of the stacked coins S in the stacking direction, and it is possible to accurately detect whether the stacked coins S are stacked or not regardless of the position of the stacked coins S.

  Here, the flexible substrate 41 does not have a pair of detection coils 44 having a pattern in which one end side in the longitudinal direction is a dense portion 51 and the other end side is a sparse portion 52, as shown in FIG. In addition, the pair of detection coils 44 may be overlapped in the longitudinal direction with a part of the positions on the sparse side. Also in this case, in the longitudinal direction, one detection coil 44 has one end in the axial direction of the bar B set in the set portion 31 in the axial direction close to the dense portion 51, and the other detection coil 44 is It arrange | positions so that the other end part of the axial direction of the same bar | burr B set to the set part 31 may adjoin to the dense part 51. FIG.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9, the pair of detection coils 44 may be arranged in parallel with the positions in the longitudinal direction overlapping each other over the entire length. In this case, in the pair of detection coils 44 in which the density is opposite to each other, the dense portion 51 of one detection coil 44 is aligned with the sparse portion 52 of the other detection coil 44 in the longitudinal direction, and the one detection coil 44 is aligned. The position of the sparse part 52 is aligned with the dense part 51 of the other detection coil 44. Also in this case, in the longitudinal direction, one detection coil 44 has one end in the axial direction of the bar B set in the set portion 31 in the axial direction close to the dense portion 51, and the other detection coil 44 is It arrange | positions so that the other end part of the axial direction of the same bar | burr B set to the set part 31 may adjoin to the dense part 51. FIG.

  In the above, when the accumulation coin S of the denomination set in advance is set in the setting unit 31, the detection unit 55 compares the lower limit value and the allowable range of the denomination with the detection data value, and the specific money It is possible to detect the presence / absence of the seed bar B and the excess or deficiency of the number of stacked coins S constituting the bar B of the specific denomination.

  On the other hand, the set unit 31 is not specified in advance that the set metal bar B is a specific type of metal bar B. In other words, the set unit 31 can set any type of metal bar B. In this case, at the time of detecting the accumulated coin S in the bar B, at least two types of detection coils 44 (for example, four types for each material, six types considering the influence of the diameter (1 yen, 5 yen, 10 Yen, 50 Yen, 100 Yen, and Yen 500), and the combination of detection data values at each frequency, or the predetermined calculation, the presence / absence of the bar B, the denomination determination, and the accumulation in the bar B An excess or deficiency in the number of accumulated coins S is detected.

  The integrated coin detection device 11 according to the first and second embodiments described above can be installed in a bar stock storage 71 for storing the bar B as shown in FIG. If comprised in this way, the denomination and accumulation | storage coin of the bar metal B stored in the bar metal storage 71 by setting the bar B one by one in the accumulation coin detection apparatus 11 of the bar metal storage 71. Excess or deficiency of the number of S can be detected by each of the accumulated coin detection devices 11 provided in the bar stock storage 71.

  The bar metal storage 71 has a housing 72 and a bar metal tray 73 that can be pulled out from the housing 72 to the operator side and can be pushed into the housing 72. On the bar metal tray 73, a plurality of the above-described accumulated coin detecting devices 11 on which the bar metal B is set are arranged in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. Then, for example, if the sensor 72 (not shown) detects that the bar tray 73 has been pushed into the casing 72 after the bar tray 73 has been pulled out of the casing 72, the detecting unit 55 detects each accumulated coin detection device. The presence / absence of the eleven bar metal B, the denomination determination, and the excess or deficiency of the number of accumulated coins S in the bar metal B are detected to detect the amount of the bar metal B in the bar metal storage 71. At that time, if there is a bar B in which the accumulated number of accumulated coins S is detected as being excessive or insufficient, an alarm to that effect is generated and the accumulation in which the bar B in which the excessive or insufficient accumulated number is detected is set. The identification of the coin detection device 11 is notified.

  According to such a bar stock storage 71, it is possible to accurately detect an excess or deficiency of the number of the accumulated coins S in the bar B stored therein with a small space.
