This type of coin payout device includes a bucket for accommodating a plurality of coins in a non-aligned manner, a rotary guide plate for aligning the coins contained in the buckets on the same plane, and guiding the coins toward the coin payout exit side. By rotating with respect to the movable first guide roller, the movement amount of the first guide roller and the second guide roller that ejects the coins aligned on the rotation guide plate to the coin payout opening And a coin count sensor for counting the number of coins ejected from the coin payout opening when the rotation of the second guide roller is a trigger when the value is less than a predetermined value. The coin payout device of this type has a function of paying out a predetermined number of coins while counting the number of coins paid out by a coin count sensor.

Further, as described above, in this type of coin payout device, the first guide roller is moved when foreign matter is caught between the rotary guide plate and the first guide roller during coin payout. A damage prevention mechanism is provided for preventing damage to the first guide roller caused by the foreign matter being caught. The damage prevention mechanism is widely used in existing coin payout devices.

[0005]

By the way, in the coin payout device having such a damage preventing mechanism, when the first guide roller moves by a predetermined value or more for some reason, the coin count sensor does not operate and coins are counted. Will not do. For this reason, it becomes impossible to set the requested predetermined number of coins, and there is a risk that coins will be paid out in excess of a specified amount.

More specifically, the coin count sensor includes a sensor arm that rotates together with the second guide roller, and a photoelectric switch arranged on the track of the sensor arm. The coin count sensor has a structure in which the payout of coins is recognized by turning off the photoelectric switch with the rotation of the second guide roller by the sensor arm.

The first guide roller and the second guide roller
The guide roller is connected via the sensor arm. Therefore, when the first guide roller moves beyond a predetermined value, the sensor arm that rotates together with the second guide roller connected to the first guide roller cannot draw a regular trajectory. Will be. Then,
A situation occurs in which the sensor arm cannot turn off the photoelectric switch. That is, since the photoelectric switch cannot be turned off, the number of coins paid out cannot be accurately counted.

It is composed of a roller body that rotates at the end of the shaft portion. The presence of the respective roller bodies causes the coins guided by the coin guiding means to be pushed out while being in contact with the roller bodies of the first guide roller and the second guide roller. Coins are paid out smoothly.

However, since each roller main body comes into contact with the coin and guides the coin to the coin payout opening, it must be at least at a height at which it comes into contact with the coin. That is, each roller main body must be in contact with the coin guided on the coin payout passage, and thus is located at a higher position than the coin payout passage.

Then, a wire or the like can be inserted from the coin payout opening to intentionally move the guide rollers. That is, the first guide roller and the second guide roller provided with the respective guide rollers can be easily moved. In particular, when the first guide roller is moved by a predetermined amount or more, as described above, the sensor arm that rotates together with the second guide roller connected to the first guide roller can draw a regular trajectory. As a result, the sensor arm cannot switch off the photoelectric switch. If the sensor arm cannot turn off the photoelectric switch, it becomes impossible to count the number of coins paid out, and there is a risk that coins of a specified amount or more will be paid out.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the problems to be solved are as follows.

At this time, the coin is moved by the spring 61a so that the guide roller 62 provided in the coin payout passage 31 is located outside the coin payout passage 31 (direction of arrow H in FIG. 7).
It moves to the exit side of the coin payout passage 31 while pushing it to. That is, the coin C moves to the exit side of the coin payout passage 31 while rotating the guide roller 62.

When the rotary guiding plate 5 further rotates from the above-mentioned state, the coin C contacting the guide roller 62 is replaced by another coin C1 newly fed from the rotary guiding plate 5, as shown in FIG. It is pushed out to the downstream side of the coin payout passage 31 (that is, the coin payout exit 30 side). At this time, the coin C is pushed out of the coin payout opening 30 by pushing the guide roller 62 away.

When the coin C is ejected from the coin payout opening 30, as shown in FIG.
Is urged toward the inner side of the coin payout passage 31 by the spring 62a as described above.
The tension of a instantly restores the original position (direction of arrow Y in the figure). Therefore, the coin C is the guide roller 6
By the rotation accompanying the return of 2, the coin payout passage 31 is vigorously ejected.

When the amount of movement of the shaft 61 is less than a predetermined value, the rotation of the guide roller 62 by the elastic mechanism 6 about the shaft 61 is used as a trigger to the coin payout opening 30. The coin count sensor 7, which counts the number of coins paid out, operates as follows and counts the number of coins.

First, as shown in FIG. 11, the coin count sensor 7 includes a sensor arm 71 rotatably provided on the shaft 61, and a sensor arm 71 when the sensor arm 71 rotates with the shaft 61 as a reference. A photoelectric switch 72 provided on the track of the sensor arm 71 and a stopper 73 for positioning the sensor arm 71 in a normal state are provided. The sensor arm 71 is provided with the guide roller 62 described above. Here, the normal state means a state where no external force acts on the sensor arm 71.

Due to such a constitution, the shaft body 6 of the guide roller 62 accompanying the above-mentioned payout of the coin C is carried out.
The sensor arm 71 rotates in response to the rotation about 1 (see FIGS. 6 to 9). Then, when the sensor arm 71 rotates to a position where the photoelectric switch 72 exists and the photoelectric switch 72 is turned off, the rotation of the sensor arm 71 is recognized by the photoelectric switch 72. Then, the number of times the sensor arm turns off the photoelectric switch 72 (that is, the number of times of rotation of the sensor arm) is specifically quantified to calculate the payout number of the coin C.

Further, the above-mentioned base 4 shown in FIG.
A driver (not shown) that supplies electric power to the electric motor M (see FIG. 1) to drive the electric motor M, and a controller (not shown) that shuts off the electric power to the electric motor M are provided. This controller receives the fact that the number of rotations of the sensor arm 71 recognized by the photoelectric switch 72 has reached a predetermined number, and considers that the number of coins to be paid out has reached a specified number, and then supplies the electric power to the electric motor M. Cut off. As a result, the discharge of the coin C from the rotary guide plate 5 is cut off, and the payout of the coin C in the coin payout device 1 is stopped.

As described above, in the coin payout device 1 according to the present embodiment, the number of coins C paid out is calculated by using the rotation of the guide roller 62 about the shaft 61 as a trigger. In addition, 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a base box for housing the above-mentioned driver and controller.

However, when the shaft body 61 moves, the sensor arm 71 and the guide roller 62 having the shaft body 61 as a fulcrum also move in the direction of arrow V in FIG. Therefore, if the amount of movement of the shaft 61 becomes excessive, the guide roller 62 interferes with the frame 3 and the sensor arm 71 cannot rotate.

Further, if the movement amount of the shaft body 61 is the above-mentioned shaft body 6
Even if the guide roller 62 can rotate about 1, the sensor arm 71, which rotates together with the guide roller 62, rotates outside a predetermined track, so that a sensor using a photoelectric switch is used. A situation occurs in which the rotation of the arm 71 is not recognized. That is, the number of coins to be paid out cannot be calculated.

Therefore, the coin payout device 1 according to the present invention is provided with the movement preventing portion (movement preventing means) 9 for preventing the movement of the shaft body 61 shown in FIG. The movement preventing portion 9 is formed integrally with the frame 3. More specifically, the movement preventing portion 9 includes an extension portion 74 in which the frame 3 on the shaft body 61 side extends above the shaft body 61, and a shaft body 61 hanging from the tip of the extension portion 74.
