Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、自動販売機等に内蔵されたコイン処理装置であり、特にコイン収納器の装着検知構造に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、この種のコイン処理装置においてコインが投入されたときは、コイン識別部でコインの正偽及び金種を判定し、金種毎にコインを振り分け、これを金種毎に各コインチューブに収納する。
【0003】
これらのコインチューブはコイン収納器にユニット化されて一体に搭載され、コインチューブへのコイン補充作業やコイン詰まり等の不具合を解消する際は、コイン収納器全体をコイン処理装置本体の前面から外し、また、コイン補充作業等が終了したときは、コイン収納器全体をコイン処理装置本体の前面側から嵌め込みコイン処理装置本体に装着している。また、コイン収納器の着脱を検知する手段として検知スイッチがコイン処理装置本体に設置されており、コイン収納器が外れているときはコイン収納処理を禁止し、一方、コイン収納器がコイン処理装置本体に装着されているときは、コイン収納処理を実行するよう構成されている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このように、従来のコイン処理装置はコイン収納器がコイン処理装置本体の着脱を検知スイッチで検知し、コイン処理の実行及び禁止を制御している。
【0005】
ところで、近年は、コイン処理装置本体を共通化し、そこに搭載されるコイン収納器については、収納コイン種が相違するものや、コイン種の配列が相違するものなど、仕様が異なるものが各種ある。一方、これらのコイン収納器の外観はほぼ類似したものとなっているため、誤って仕様が異なるコイン収納器が装着されてしまう場合がある。このとき、検知スイッチはコイン収納器の装着の有無を判断するだけで、コイン収納器が所望の仕様となっているか否かを判断する構造となっていないため、コイン収納器が装着されたときは、直ちにコイン処理の実行を指示することとなり、コイン収納器の誤装着を回避することができなかった。
【0006】
本発明の目的は前記従来の課題に鑑み、コイン収納器の誤装着を防止することができるコイン処理装置を提供することにある。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は前記課題を解決するため、請求項1の発明は、複数種の円筒状のコインチューブが複数隣接して搭載されたコイン収納器をコイン処理装置本体に着脱自在に取り付けるとともに、コイン処理装置本体にコイン収納器が装着されたか否かを検知する検知スイッチを有するコイン処理装置において、コイン収納器の仕様がコイン処理装置本体に対応するか否かを検知するよう検知スイッチを少なくとも1個設け、コイン収納器の隣接する所定のコインチューブ間にはコイン収納器の仕様に対応する各検知スイッチが選択されるよう被検知部材を一体成形した構造となっている。
【0008】
本発明によれば、被検知部材はコイン収納器の仕様に対応する検知スイッチをオンする。ここで、コイン処理装置の仕様がコイン収納器の仕様と対応しないときは、コイン処理装置のコイン処理を実行させないようにできる。一方、両者の仕様が対応するときは、コイン処理を実行させることができる。また、被検知部材はコイン収納器と一体に設けられているため、部品点数及び組み付け工数を減らすことができる。
【0009】
請求項2の発明は、請求項1のコイン処理装置において、検知スイッチを釣銭払い出し装置の配線基板に設置した構成となっているので、検知スイッチのリード線と釣銭払い出し装置のリード線が同一の配線基板に接続され、配線基板が共用されるため、電気配線の引き回しが簡単になる。
【0010】
請求項4の発明の如く、被検知部材の設置位置は配線基板と対向するコイン収納器の外面とするのがよい。
【0011】
また、請求項3及び請求項4の如く、各検知スイッチ及び被検知部材をそれぞれ対向するよう略水平に配置しているため、例えばコイン収納器を下端を軸として回転してコイン処理装置本体に装着する際などは、被検知部材が各検知スイッチに対して等しく接近・接触することとなり、各検知スイッチの検知精度が向上する。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1乃至図8は本発明に係るコイン処理装置の一実施形態を示すもので、図1はコイン処理装置の外観斜視図、図2はコイン収納器の着脱状態を示す斜視図、図3はコイン収納器と釣銭払い出し装置との接続状態を示す側面図、図4は図1のA−A線矢視方向断面図、図5は被検知部材を示す斜視図、図6の(a)(b)は配線基板及び検知スイッチの設置状態図、図7は2個の検知スイッチをオンするコイン収納器の突起を示す平面図、図8は3個の検知スイッチをオンするコイン収納器の突起を示す平面図である。
【0013】
まず、自動販売機に内蔵されているコイン処理装置の概要を図1を参照して説明する。コイン処理装置の筐体を構成するコイン処理装置本体10の内部にはその上部にコイン投入口101を有し、このコイン投入口101を通じてコインを導入する。この導入されたコインは、コイン投入口101の下部に配置されたコイン識別部(図示しない)で正偽及び金種が判定される。このコイン識別部で偽貨と判定されたものは、返却通路を通じて自動販売機の返却口(図示しない)に返却される。一方、正貨と判定されたコインはコイン識別部の下方に配置されたコイン収納器20の後述するコインチューブに案内され、これに積み重ねながら収納される。また、コインチューブに収納されたコインは釣銭コインとして利用され、釣銭を払い出すときは釣銭払い出し装置30(図4参照)が駆動し、コインチューブ内の釣銭をボトムベース102を通じて返却口に返却される。
【0014】
上記コイン収納器20は図2乃至図4に示すように偏平形状を呈しているもので、前面の蓋体201と後面側のチューブ本体202とを重ね合わせて形成し、全体が図2に示すようにコイン処理装置本体10の後面開口からコイン処理装置本体10の両側板103間に嵌め込み自在となっている。ここで、コイン収納器20をコイン処理装置本体10に嵌め込むときは、まず、コイン収納器20の下端をコイン処理装置本体10に嵌め込み、コイン収納器20の下端を軸としてコイン処理装置本体10に向かって回動し、コイン処理装置本隊10内に収納する。また、コイン収納器20の後面は、図3及び図4に示すように、釣銭払い出し装置30の前面と対向するよう配置されている。なお、図はコイン収納器20と釣銭払い出し装置30との対向状態を側面から見た外観を示している。
【0015】
このコイン収納器20のチューブ本体202は、図4に示すように、左右に複数のコインチューブ203a〜203eが配置されており、左から500円コイン用、50円コイン用、10円コイン用、第1の100円コイン用、第2の100円コイン用となっている。コイン投入口101から投入された500円,100円,50円,10円の各コインはそれぞれ対応するコインチューブ203a〜203eに振り分けられ、所定の各コインチューブ203a〜203eに収納される。なお、100円コインが投入されたときは、まず、第1の100円コイン用のコインチューブ203dに100円コインが収納され、第1のコインチューブ203dが満杯となったとき、第2のコインチューブ203eに100円コインが収納されるようになっている。
【0016】
以上のように構成されたコイン収納器20において、チューブ本体202の裏面には被検知部材、例えば後方に向かって略水平に突出した突起204が形成されている。この突起204をチューブ本体202の裏面側から見た状態を示す図5を参照して説明する。この突起204は10円コイン用のコインチューブ203cと第1の100円コイン用のコインチューブ203dとの間に形成されたもので、その基部204aを各コインチューブ203c,203d間に一体に形成する一方、この基部204aの上部から外方向に突出するよう略直方体形状の検知体204bがこれまた一体に略水平に形成されている。
【0017】
一方、このコイン収納器20と対向する釣銭払い出し装置30は、図3及び図4に示すように、駆動源であるモータ301を有し、図6の(a)(b)に示すように、このモータ301のケース体301aに配線基板302が設置されている。この配線基板302は釣銭払い出し装置30のモータ301用や図示しないソレノイド用等となっており、本実施形態ではこれに加えて、検知スイッチ401,402,403の設置・配線基板として用いている。即ち、各検知スイッチ401〜403は、図4に示すように、コイン収納器20のチューブ本体202の裏面と対向するよう略水平に並んで配置されており、検知スイッチ401〜403のうち、右側の検知スイッチ401のアクチュエータ401aが突起204の検知体204bに対応している。従って、コイン収納器20をコイン処理装置本体10内に装着するときは、図4に示すように、検知体204bが検知スイッチ401のアクチュエータ401aを押し、検知スイッチ401をオンすることとなる。
【0018】
この検知スイッチ401,402,403において、検知スイッチ401のみがオンするときは、例えば前記の如く、500円〜10円の全てを自動的にコインチューブ203a〜203eに収納する仕様となっているコイン収納器20であることを検知する。また、検知スイッチ401及び検知スイッチ402がオンするときは、例えば各コインチューブ203a〜203eのうち、第2の100円コインチューブ203eが手操作で100円コインを補給する仕様のコイン収納器であることを検知する。更に、各検知スイッチ401,402,403が全てオンするときは、例えば第2の100円コインチューブ203eがない仕様、即ち、4個のコインチューブ203a〜203dのコイン収納器であると検知するよう設定されている。
【0019】
本実施形態によれば、コイン収納器20の突起204が、図4に示すように、検知スイッチ401のみをオンするときは、前述の如く、500円〜10円の全てを自動的にコインチューブ203a〜203eに収納する仕様(第1仕様)となっているコイン収納器20であることが検知される。ここで、コイン処理装置の制御がこの仕様を満足するよう設定されているときは、コインを受け入れ、コイン処理を実行する。
【0020】
また、図7に示すように、コイン収納器20aの突起205が検知スイッチ401,402をオンする仕様のときは、各コインチューブ203a〜203eのうち、第2の100円コインチューブ203eが手操作で100円コインを補給する仕様(第2仕様)のコイン収納器であることを検知する。ここで、コイン処理装置の制御が前述の第1仕様を設定しているときは、コイン収納器20aが誤装着であると判定し、コイン処理を拒否するよう制御する。具体的には投入コインを全て返却口に返却するよう制御する。
【0021】
更に、図8に示すように、コイン収納器20bの突起206が検知スイッチ401,402,402の全てをオンする仕様のときは、第2の100円コインチューブ203eがない仕様(第3仕様)、即ち、4個のコインチューブ203a〜203dのコイン収納器20bが検知される。ここで、コイン処理装置の制御が前述の第1仕様又は第2仕様を設定しているときは、コイン収納器20aが誤装着であると判定し、これまた、コイン処理を拒否するよう制御する。
【0022】
このように、コイン収納器20,20a,20bがコイン処理装置本体10に装着された際、コイン収納器20,20a,20bの装着を検知するとともに、仕様が合わないコイン収納器20,20a,20bを検知することができる。
【0023】
また、検知スイッチ401,402,403は釣銭払い出し装置30の配線基板302に共用して設置されているため、検知スイッチ401,402,403のリード線と釣銭払い出し装置のリード線が同一の配線基板302に接続され、電気配線の引き回しが簡単になるし、また、部品点数も少なくて済み、組み付け性も向上する。
【0024】
更に、検知スイッチ401,402,403が略水平に配置され、また、コイン収納器20の外面には略水平の検知体204bを備えた突起204を有するため、コイン収納器20を回動してコイン処理装置本体10に装着する際、検知体204bが各検知スイッチ401,402,403に対して等しく接近・接触することとなり、各検知スイッチ401,402,403の検知精度が向上する。
【0025】
なお、コイン収納器20,20a,20bが誤装着された場合は、図示しないエラーランプを点滅させたり、或いは、警報ブザーを鳴らし、オペレータに誤装着を告知するようにしても良い。また、前記実施形態では、検知スイッチ401がオンしたとき、検知スイッチ401,402がオンしたとき、検知スイッチ401,402,403の全てがオンしたときの3種類を掲げているが、検知スイッチ401,403がオンしたとき、検知スイッチ402,403がオンしたとき、検知スイッチ402のみがONしたとき、検知スイッチ403のみがONしたときもその仕様を判定できるようにしておくことにより、全部で7種類のコイン収納器を判定することができる。勿論、この検知スイッチ401,402,403の個数を多くするときは、その仕様判定も更に増加する。
【0026】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によれば、コイン収納器が装着されたか否か検知することはもとより、コイン収納器の仕様がコイン処理装置の仕様に対応するか否かも検知することができる。また、被検知部材をコイン収納器と一体に設けているため、部品点数及び組み付け工数を減らすことができる。
【0027】
また、検知スイッチを釣銭払い出し装置の配線基板に設置するときは、検知スイッチのリード線と釣銭払い出し装置のリード線が同一の配線基板に接続され、配線基板が共用されるため、電気配線の引き回しが簡単になるし、また、部品点数も少なくて済み、組み付け性も向上する。
【0028】
更に、各検知スイッチと被検知部材をそれぞれ対向するよう略水平に配置しているため、コイン収納器とコイン処理装置本体に装着する際、被検知部材が各検知スイッチに対して等しく接近・接触することとなり、各検知スイッチの検知精度が向上する。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a coin processing device built in a vending machine or the like, and more particularly to a mounting detection structure for a coin storage device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, when a coin is inserted in this type of coin processing apparatus, the coin identification unit determines whether the coin is true or false and denomination, distributes the coin for each denomination, and distributes the coin to each coin tube for each denomination. Store.
[0003]
These coin tubes are unitized into a coin storage unit and mounted as a unit. When resolving problems such as coin refilling or coin clogging into the coin tube, remove the entire coin storage unit from the front of the coin processing unit. Further, when the coin replenishment operation or the like is completed, the entire coin container is fitted from the front side of the coin processing apparatus main body and attached to the coin processing apparatus main body. In addition, a detection switch is installed in the coin processing apparatus body as means for detecting attachment / detachment of the coin storage device, and when the coin storage device is detached, the coin storage processing is prohibited, while the coin storage device is used as the coin processing device. When it is attached to the main body, it is configured to execute a coin storage process.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, in the conventional coin processing device, the coin storage device detects attachment / detachment of the coin processing device main body with the detection switch, and controls execution and prohibition of coin processing.
[0005]
By the way, in recent years, there are various types of coin storage devices with different specifications, such as coin storage devices with different coin types and coin coin arrangements that are common to the coin processing device main body. . On the other hand, since the external appearance of these coin storage devices is almost similar, a coin storage device having a different specification may be installed by mistake. At this time, the detection switch only determines whether or not the coin storage device is mounted, and is not structured to determine whether or not the coin storage device has a desired specification. Immediately instructed execution of coin processing, and it was not possible to avoid erroneous mounting of the coin storage device.
[0006]
An object of the present invention is to provide a coin processing device that can prevent erroneous mounting of a coin storage device in view of the above-described conventional problems.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a coin storage device in which a plurality of types of cylindrical coin tubes are mounted adjacent to each other so as to be detachably attached to a coin processing apparatus main body, In a coin processing apparatus having a detection switch for detecting whether or not a coin storage device is attached to the apparatus main body, at least one detection switch is used to detect whether or not the specification of the coin storage device corresponds to the coin processing apparatus main body. The detected member is integrally formed so that each detection switch corresponding to the specification of the coin storage device is selected between predetermined coin tubes adjacent to the coin storage device .
[0008]
According to the present invention, the detected member turns on the detection switch corresponding to the specification of the coin storage device. Here, when the specification of the coin processing device does not correspond to the specification of the coin storage device, the coin processing of the coin processing device can be prevented from being executed. On the other hand, when both specifications correspond, coin processing can be executed. Moreover, since the member to be detected is provided integrally with the coin container, the number of parts and the number of assembling steps can be reduced.
[0009]
The invention according to claim 2 is the coin processing device according to claim 1, wherein the detection switch is installed on the wiring board of the change dispensing device, so that the lead wire of the detection switch and the lead wire of the change dispensing device are the same. Since it is connected to the wiring board and the wiring board is shared, the electrical wiring can be easily routed.
[0010]
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the installation position of the member to be detected is preferably the outer surface of the coin container facing the wiring board.
[0011]
Since each detection switch and the member to be detected are arranged substantially horizontally so as to face each other as in claim 3 and claim 4, for example, the coin storage device is rotated around the lower end as an axis to the coin processing apparatus main body. At the time of mounting or the like, the member to be detected approaches and comes into contact with each detection switch equally, and the detection accuracy of each detection switch is improved.
[0012]

As described above, the coin processing apparatus main body 10 can be fitted between both side plates 103 of the coin processing apparatus main body 10 from the rear opening. Here, when fitting the coin storage device 20 into the coin processing apparatus main body 10, first, the lower end of the coin storage device 20 is inserted into the coin processing apparatus main body 10, and the coin processing apparatus main body 10 is centered on the lower end of the coin storage device 20. And is stored in the coin processing apparatus main unit 10. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the rear surface of the coin storage device 20 is disposed so as to face the front surface of the change dispensing device 30. FIG. 3 shows an external view of the facing state of the coin storage device 20 and the change dispensing device 30 as viewed from the side.
[0015]
As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of coin tubes 203 a to 203 e are arranged on the left and right sides of the tube main body 202 of the coin storage device 20, for 500 yen coins, 50 yen coins, 10 yen coins, It is for the first 100 yen coin and the second 100 yen coin. The coins of 500 yen, 100 yen, 50 yen, and 10 yen inserted from the coin insertion slot 101 are distributed to the corresponding coin tubes 203a to 203e, and stored in the predetermined coin tubes 203a to 203e. When 100-yen coins are inserted, first, 100-yen coins are stored in the coin tube 203d for the first 100-yen coin, and when the first coin-tube 203d is full, the second coin 100 yen coins are stored in the tube 203e.
[0016]
In the coin container 20 configured as described above, a detection target member, for example, a protrusion 204 protruding substantially horizontally toward the rear is formed on the back surface of the tube main body 202. A description will be given with reference to FIG. 5 showing a state in which the protrusion 204 is viewed from the back side of the tube main body 202. The projection 204 is formed between the coin tube 203c for 10 yen coin and the coin tube 203d for the first 100 yen coin, and its base portion 204a is integrally formed between the coin tubes 203c and 203d. On the other hand, a substantially rectangular parallelepiped-shaped detection body 204b is integrally formed substantially horizontally so as to protrude outward from the upper portion of the base portion 204a.
[0017]
On the other hand, the change dispensing device 30 facing the coin storage device 20 has a motor 301 as a drive source as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), A wiring board 302 is installed on the case body 301 a of the motor 301. This wiring board 302 is used for the motor 301 of the change dispensing device 30 and a solenoid (not shown). In this embodiment, in addition to this, it is used as an installation / wiring board for the detection switches 401, 402, 403. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the detection switches 401 to 403 are arranged substantially horizontally so as to face the back surface of the tube main body 202 of the coin storage device 20. The actuator 401 a of the detection switch 401 corresponds to the detection body 204 b of the protrusion 204. Therefore, when the coin storage device 20 is mounted in the coin processing apparatus main body 10, as shown in FIG. 4, the detection body 204 b pushes the actuator 401 a of the detection switch 401 and turns on the detection switch 401.
[0018]
In the detection switches 401, 402, and 403, when only the detection switch 401 is turned on, for example, as described above, all coins of 500 yen to 10 yen are automatically stored in the coin tubes 203a to 203e. It is detected that it is the container 20. When the detection switch 401 and the detection switch 402 are turned on, for example, of the coin tubes 203a to 203e, the second 100-yen coin tube 203e is a coin storage device having a specification of supplying 100-yen coins manually. Detect that. Further, when all the detection switches 401, 402, and 403 are turned on, for example, the second 100 yen coin tube 203e is not detected, that is, it is detected that the coin storage unit includes four coin tubes 203a to 203d. Is set.
[0019]
According to the present embodiment, when the protrusion 204 of the coin storage device 20 turns on only the detection switch 401, as shown in FIG. It is detected that the coin storage device 20 has a specification (first specification) stored in 203a to 203e. Here, when the control of the coin processing device is set to satisfy this specification, the coin is accepted and the coin processing is executed.
[0020]
Further, as shown in FIG. 7, when the projection 205 of the coin storage device 20a has a specification for turning on the detection switches 401 and 402, the second 100 yen coin tube 203e is manually operated among the coin tubes 203a to 203e. It is detected that the coin storage device has a specification for supplying 100 yen coins (second specification). Here, when the control of the coin processing device sets the first specification, it is determined that the coin storage device 20a is erroneously mounted, and control is performed so as to reject the coin processing. Specifically, control is performed so that all inserted coins are returned to the return slot.
[0021]
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8, when the projection 206 of the coin storage device 20b has a specification that turns on all of the detection switches 401, 402, and 402, the specification without the second 100 yen coin tube 203e (third specification). That is, the coin storage device 20b of the four coin tubes 203a to 203d is detected. Here, when the control of the coin processing device has set the first specification or the second specification, it is determined that the coin storage device 20a is erroneously mounted, and control is performed so as to reject the coin processing. .
[0022]
As described above, when the coin storage units 20, 20a, 20b are mounted on the coin processing apparatus main body 10, the mounting of the coin storage units 20, 20a, 20b is detected and the coin storage units 20, 20a, 20a, 20b, 20b can be detected.
[0023]
Further, since the detection switches 401, 402, and 403 are installed in common on the wiring board 302 of the change dispensing device 30, the lead board of the detection switch 401, 402, and 403 and the lead wire of the change dispensing apparatus are the same wiring board. It is connected to 302, and the wiring of the electric wiring is simplified, the number of parts is reduced, and the assembling property is improved.
[0024]
Furthermore, since the detection switches 401, 402, and 403 are arranged substantially horizontally and the outer surface of the coin storage device 20 has a protrusion 204 having a substantially horizontal detection body 204b, the coin storage device 20 is rotated. When the coin processing apparatus main body 10 is mounted, the detection body 204b approaches and contacts the detection switches 401, 402, and 403 equally, and the detection accuracy of the detection switches 401, 402, and 403 is improved.
[0025]
When the coin storage units 20, 20a, and 20b are erroneously attached, an error lamp (not shown) may be blinked or an alarm buzzer may be sounded to notify the operator of the erroneous attachment. In the above-described embodiment, the detection switch 401 is turned on, the detection switches 401 and 402 are turned on, and the detection switches 401, 402, and 403 are all turned on. , 403 is turned on, the detection switches 402, 403 are turned on, only the detection switch 402 is turned on, or only the detection switch 403 is turned on, so that the specification can be determined in total, so that 7 A type of coin storage can be determined. Of course, when the number of the detection switches 401, 402, 403 is increased, the specification determination further increases.
[0026]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible not only to detect whether or not a coin storage device is mounted, but also to detect whether or not the specification of the coin storage device corresponds to the specification of the coin processing device. Further, since the detected member is provided integrally with the coin storage device, the number of parts and the number of assembling steps can be reduced.
[0027]
Also, when installing the detection switch on the wiring board of the change dispensing device, the lead wire of the detection switch and the lead wire of the change dispensing device are connected to the same wiring board, and the wiring board is shared. Is simple, and the number of parts is small, and the assembling is improved.
[0028]
Furthermore, since each detection switch and the detected member are arranged substantially horizontally so as to face each other, when the coin switch is mounted on the coin storage device and the coin processing apparatus main body, the detected member is in close proximity to and in contact with each detection switch. As a result, the detection accuracy of each detection switch is improved.
