ト部材と、硬貨収納部内の硬貨を釣銭払出指令に基づき
払出す硬貨払出装置とを備えている。(B) Conventional technology Conventionally, a coin mechanism as a coin processing device has a loading hopper for receiving coins from a loading slot provided on the front face of a vending machine main body, and a sorting unit for determining the appropriateness of coins from the loading hopper. A gate member for introducing coins to the coin storage unit of each type or a return passage communicating with a return port provided on the front of the vending machine main body according to the result of the discrimination by the sorting unit, and dispensing coins in the coin storage unit. A coin payout device for paying out based on a command.
しかしながら、かかるコインメカニズムの硬貨収納部
内に収納できる硬貨枚数は比較的少ないため、硬貨の種
類によってはたびたび釣銭切れを生じる。すなわち釣銭
として払出される頻度の高い例えば10円硬貨は、たびた
び釣銭切れを生じ、10円硬貨の釣銭を必要とする硬貨投
入を拒絶して商品の販売が少なくなる不都合がある。However, since the number of coins that can be stored in the coin storage section of such a coin mechanism is relatively small, change often occurs depending on the type of coin. That is, for example, a 10-yen coin that is frequently paid out as change is often run out of change, refusing to insert a coin that requires a change of 10-yen coin, and has a disadvantage that sales of goods are reduced.

おり、例えば実開昭55−169771号公報に示されている。Therefore, for this purpose, a coin replenishing device including a coin storage unit for storing a large amount of coins that are frequently paid out as change and a sending unit for discharging coins in the coin storage unit is mounted on the side of the coin mechanism. When the number of change coins in the coin storage unit on the coin mechanism side is equal to or less than a predetermined number, change coins are paid out from the coin supply device and supplied to the coin storage unit on the coin mechanism side. No. 55-169771.

あった。(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the prior art having such a configuration, coins dispensed from the coin replenishing device are supplied to the same type of coin storage on the coin mechanism side. Coin supply passage is required. Further, the coins stored in the coin storage unit of the coin supply device and the coins stored in the coin storage unit on the coin mechanism side are both configured to be stacked and stored, and the stacked coins are stored in the coin supply passage. The attitude must be controlled so that it can roll, and when it reaches the coin storage section on the coin mechanism side, it must be stacked and stored again, so that coins are jammed in the coin supply passage or the coin storage section on the coin mechanism side. There was a drawback that caused.
本発明は上記のようなことから、特別な硬貨補給通路
