A guide roller 46 is disposed between the lower guide roller 41 and the driving roller 42 via a support shaft 45 so as to be disposed in parallel therewith. The support shaft 45 is supported by the side wall portion 16 shown in FIG.

  The pair of disc bodies 25, 26, the drive roller 42, the guide roller 41, the guide roller 43, and the guide roller 46 include a lower outer peripheral surface of the pair of disc bodies 25, 26, a side outer peripheral surface of the guide roller 41, and a guide roller. An endless conveyance belt 50 is hung so as to contact the upper outer peripheral surface of 43, the lower outer peripheral surface of the drive roller 42, and the upper outer peripheral surface of the guide roller 46, respectively.

  Thus, the conveyor belt 50 is inclined between the pair of disk bodies 25 and 26 and the guide roller 41 so that the pair of disk bodies 25 and 26 side is higher than the guide roller 41 side. A base 51 constituting the storage bottom is formed, and the guide roller 43 side is higher between the pair of disk bodies 25 and 26 and the guide roller 43 than the pair of disk bodies 25 and 26 side. The rising inclined portion 52 that is inclined and reaches the obliquely upper position from the bottom portion 51 is formed to face the side wall portion 15 so as to form the side opposite to the side wall portion 15 of the storage space 20. Note that the ascending slope 52 has a greater slope relative to the horizontal than the bottom 51. A guide member 53 that guides the rising slope 52 is provided on the back side of the rising slope 52. Further, the conveyor belt 50 is formed with protrusions 54 that are spaced apart in the width direction to form a pair on the entire circumference of the conveyor belt 50 at equal intervals in the extending direction of the conveyor belt 50. These protrusions 54 are formed at positions between the pair of disk bodies 25 and 26.

  Here, a guide plate portion 55 is formed on the side wall portion 15 so as to extend downward toward the top of the pair of disk bodies 25 and 26. The guide plate portion 55 guides coins falling from the receiving port 13 at the top of the storage body 12 to the pair of disk bodies 25 and 26 side. Further, a bottom plate portion 56 extending in the direction of the bottom side portion 51 of the transport belt 50 is formed on the side wall portion 15 below the guide plate portion 55. The bottom plate portion 56 constitutes a storage bottom portion of the storage space 20 together with the bottom side portion 51 of the conveyor belt 50.

  Further, at the upper end position of the ascending inclined portion 52 of the conveyor belt 50, a feeding port 58 for feeding coins from the coin storage and feeding device 11 to the outside is formed.

As shown in FIG. 1, a pulley 61 is fixed to the outer side portion of the side wall portion 16 of the drive shaft 38 described above. Further, a motor (driving means) 62 is attached to the outside of the side wall portion 16, and a pulley 64 is also fixed to a rotating shaft 63 of the motor 62. A drive belt 65 is hung on the pulley 61 and the pulley 64. Therefore, the rotating shaft 63 of the motor 62
Is driven forward / reversely, the driving roller 42 rotates via the pulley 64, the driving belt 65, the pulley 61, and the driving shaft 38, and the conveying belt 50 moves the bottom 51 and the rising inclined portion 52 in the direction of the feeding port 58. The feeding direction to be moved and the feeding reverse direction to move the bottom 51 and the rising slope 52 in the direction opposite to the feeding outlet 58 are rotated. When the conveyor belt 50 rotates in the feeding direction, the pair of disc bodies 25 and 26 that come into contact with the lower outer peripheral surface receive a driving force in the feeding direction, which is the direction in which the conveyor belt 50 rotates. When 50 rotates in the reverse feeding direction, the pair of disk bodies 25 and 26 that come into contact with the lower outer peripheral surface thereof receive a driving force in the reverse feeding direction, which is the direction in which the pair of disk bodies 25 and 26 rotate.

  In the present embodiment, an opening 68 is formed in the side wall portion 16 shown in FIG. 1 at a position overlapping with one disk body 25 on the side wall portion 16 side in the radial direction, and on the outer surface of the side wall portion 16, A leaf spring (rotation restricting portion) 69 is attached to the position of the opening 68. As shown in FIG. 3, the plate spring 69 is bent in the plate thickness direction at one end in the length direction so as to be inclined at an obtuse angle with respect to the other plate-shaped main plate portion 70. The inclined plate portion 71 is formed in the shape of a letter “he”, and the inclined plate portion 71 protrudes into the side wall portion 16 from the opening portion 68 and is opposite to the inclined plate portion 71 of the main plate portion 70. At the end on the side, the side wall 16 is fixed with screws 74. In other words, the storage body 12 includes a leaf spring 69 having one end fixed in the vicinity of one disk body 25.

  The leaf spring 69 can be brought into contact with the rib 33 by the inclined plate portion 71 when the rib (rotation restricting portion) 33 of the disc body 25 is positioned on the bottom side 51 side of the disc body 25. It has become. The leaf spring 69 further extends upward from the contact position on the side opposite to the bottom 51 and is fixed to the side wall 16 with screws 74.

  Therefore, the inclined plate portion 71 extends from the main plate portion 70 on the fixed side along the moving direction of the rib 33 that contacts the disc body 25 that rotates in the feeding direction indicated by the arrow A in FIGS. 3 and 4. 3 and FIG. 4, the inclined plate portion 71 extends from the main plate portion 70 on the fixed side in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the contacting rib 33 of the disc body 25 that is going to rotate in the reverse feeding direction indicated by the arrow B in FIGS. Will do. As a result, the plate spring 69 is inclined in a direction in which the inclined plate portion 71 can ride on the rib 33 of the disk body 25 when the disk body 25 tries to rotate with the conveying belt 50 rotating in the feeding direction. Accordingly, the disc body 25 is rotated in the direction of arrow A while allowing passage of the rib 33. On the contrary, when the disk body 25 is going to rotate with the conveying belt 50 rotating in the feeding reverse direction, the inclined plate portion 71 is inclined in a direction in which it cannot ride on the rib 33 of the disk body 25, Abutting on the rib 33 and restricting its passage, the rotation of the disc body 25 in the direction of arrow B is restricted. Thereby, one disk body 25 extends along the radial direction from the center on the outer surface on the opposite side to the other disk body 26, and the other end of the leaf spring 69 is brought into contact therewith to pass therethrough. The rib 33 is allowed and restricted depending on the contact direction. Only one rib 33 may be provided for the disc body 25.

  As described above, the leaf spring 69 and the rib 33 constitute a ratchet mechanism 77 that regulates rotation in the reverse feeding direction so that only one of the pair of disk bodies 25 and 26 can rotate in the feeding direction. doing. The other disk body 26 of the pair of disk bodies 25 and 26 is not restricted in such rotation, and can be rotated in both the feeding direction and the feeding reverse direction by being rotated with the conveyor belt 50. ing.

  In this coin storage and delivery device 11, coins are discharged from the upper receiving port 13 into the storage space 20, that is, the side wall portion 15 including the bottom plate portion 56. Then, it is housed in a space surrounded by the bottom 51 and the rising slope 52 of the conveyor belt 50, the pair of disc bodies 25 and 26, and the side walls 16 and 17.

  The control unit (not shown) of the coin depositing / dispensing machine drives the motor 62 in the forward direction to move the conveyor belt 50 in the feeding direction when performing a withdrawal process for feeding out a designated number of coins from the coin storage / delivery device 11. As a result, the coins stored on the side of the bottom 51 formed by the transport belt 50 in the storage space 20 are locked to the protrusions 54 of the transport belt 50 and are inclined upward from the bottom 51. The portion 52 is moved and fed out from the feeding port 58. In that case, a pair of disk bodies 25 and 26 arranged so that each surface 35 constitutes a part of the storage side wall portion of the storage space 20 come into contact with the conveyor belt 50 that rotates in the feeding direction. The coins in the lower region of the storage space 20 in which the bottom 51 is constituted by the conveyor belt 50 are swung up and stirred toward the rising inclined portion 52 in this state, and in this state, the bottom of the conveyor belt 50 The part 51 and the rising inclination part 52 will convey a coin to the diagonally upward position. At this time, the disc body 25 passes through the plate spring 69 while being elastically deformed, although the rib 33 is in contact with the plate spring 69, and is rotated along the conveying belt 50 well and is in the feeding direction. 26 and synchronous rotation. However, when the leaf spring 69 is pressed and released, the leaf spring 69 acts to strike the disc body 25 and vibrates the disc body 25.

  When the control unit counts the designated number of coins by a sensor (not shown) provided at the feeding port 58, the control unit reverses the motor 62 for a predetermined period of time to rotate the transport belt 50 in the feeding reverse direction. It will be. Then, one disk body 25 of the pair of disk bodies 25, 26 is stopped by the rotation in the reverse feeding direction in which the rib 33 abuts on the leaf spring 69 and rotates along with the conveyance belt 50. Only the other disk body 26 without such restriction rotates in the reverse feeding direction. Therefore, a rotational phase difference is generated between the pair of disk bodies 25 and 26. As a result, even when a pair of disk bodies 25 and 26 are arranged at intervals wider than the coin diameter, a plurality of coins may be caught between the pair of disk bodies 25 and 26 as shown in FIG. However, it is possible to break the coin jam without directly touching such a coin by applying a twisting force.

  In addition, the control unit (not shown) of the coin depositing / dispensing machine determines the management numerical value before detecting the designated number of coins by the sensor (not shown) provided in the feeding port 58 during the above-described dispensing process. Alternatively, when a state in which no coin is detected for a predetermined time by a sensor (not shown) provided in the payout port 58 despite the fact that coins remain in the coin storage and feeding device 11 by detection of the sensor, The motor 62 is reversely rotated for a predetermined period of time to rotate the transport belt 50 in the reverse feeding direction, and then the motor 62 is rotated forward. In other words, since there is a possibility of coin clogging as described above, an operation for breaking the coin clogging is performed.

  The control unit (not shown) of the coin depositing / dispensing machine drives the motor 62 and feeds the conveyor belt 50 in the same manner as described above when performing a collecting process for feeding out all coins from the coin storage / delivery device 11. By rotating in the direction, the coins stored in the storage space 2 are fed out from the feeding port 58 from the bottom side 51 of the transport belt 50 via the rising inclined portion 52. When a state in which no coin is detected for a predetermined time continues by a sensor (not shown) provided, the motor 62 is reversely rotated for a predetermined fixed time, the transport belt 50 is rotated in the reverse feeding direction, and then the motor 62 is rotated forward. become. In other words, since there is a possibility of coin clogging as described above, an operation for breaking the coin clogging is performed. Then, after normal rotation of the motor 62, if no coin is detected by a sensor (not shown) provided at the feeding port 58 for a predetermined time, it is determined that no coin is jammed, and the motor 62 is stopped while the feeding port 58 is stopped. When coins are detected for a predetermined time by a sensor (not shown) provided, if a state in which coins are not detected for a predetermined time by a sensor (not shown) provided at the delivery port 58 continues, It is determined that the coin has been paid out, and the motor 62 is stopped.

  According to the present embodiment described above, when the endless transport belt 50 constituting the bottom 51 of the storage space 20 is rotated by the motor 62 in the coin feeding direction, the respective surfaces 35 are formed in the storage space 20. A pair of disk bodies 25 and 26 arranged to face each other so as to constitute a part of the storage side wall are rotated together to scrape up coins in the lower region of the storage space 20 in which the bottom 51 is formed by the conveyor belt 50. In this way, the coin is conveyed to an obliquely upper position by the bottom side portion 51 and the rising inclined portion 52 of the conveying belt 50 while being stirred up. When the conveyor belt 50 is rotated by the motor 62 in the reverse direction of coin feeding, one disk body 25 of the pair of disk bodies 25 and 26 is rotated with the conveyor belt 50 rotating in the reverse feeding direction. Therefore, only the other disk body 26 is rotated, and a phase difference is generated between the pair of disk bodies 25, 26, so that the pair of opposing disk bodies 25, It is possible to reliably break the clogged coins between the 26. Therefore, even if a large amount of coins can be received and stored in a lump, coins can be reliably fed out by preventing coin clogging. In addition, since it is only necessary to restrict the rotation of the one disk body 25 in the reverse feeding direction, it is possible to reliably prevent the clogged coins between the pair of opposed disk bodies 25 and 26 with a compact configuration without increasing the size. Can be broken.

  In addition, the other end of the leaf spring 69, one end of which is fixed to the storage body 12, is brought into contact with the rib 33 along the radial direction of the outer surface of the one disc body 25, so In order to regulate the rotation of the direction, the coins caught between the pair of opposing disk bodies 25 and 26 can be broken with a compact and simple configuration.

  In the above embodiment, the ratchet mechanism 77 including the leaf spring 69 and the rib 33 is used to restrict the rotation of the one disk body 25 in the reverse feeding direction. 25 is pivotally supported on the side wall 16 by a ratchet mechanism used for a bicycle freewheel or the like, and the rotation of the rotation of the one disk body 25 in the reverse direction is restricted and the rotation of the rotation in the supply direction is allowed. You may make it do. That is, by providing a one-way clutch in place of the bearing 23a between the one disk body 25 and the support shaft 23 that supports the disk body 25, the rotation of the one disk body 25 in the feeding direction is permitted, and the reverse feeding is performed. You may make it regulate the rotation of the accompanying rotation of a direction. If comprised in this way, the coin which was pinched | interposed between a pair of disk bodies 25 and 26 which opposes with a still more compact structure can be destroyed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the rib (contacted portion) 33 of the other disk body 26 is bent in the plate thickness direction so as to be inclined with an obtuse angle with respect to the flat plate main plate portion 80. The inclined plate portion 81 is formed, and a tip V-shaped leaf spring (vibration applying portion) is formed on the opposite side of the inclined plate portion 81 from the main plate portion 80 and the inclined plate portion 82 folded back in the plate thickness direction is formed. ) 84 may be brought into contact. In this case, the leaf spring 84 has one end of the main plate portion 80 fixed to the side wall portion 17 in the vicinity of the other disk body 26 of the storage body 12, and the rib 33 in the inclined plate portion 81 and the inclined plate portion 82 at the other end. Will abut.

  When the other disk body 26 rotates in the direction A shown in FIG. 6 so that the other disk body 26 rotates with the conveying belt 50 rotating in the feeding direction, the inclined plate portion 81 is formed on the outer surface of the disk body 26. It is inclined in a direction in which it can contact and ride on the rib 33 and is pressed in the axial direction while allowing the rib 33 to pass therethrough. Further, when the disc body 26 is rotated in the direction B shown in FIG. 6 so that the disc body 26 rotates with the conveying belt 50 rotating in the reverse feeding direction, the inclined plate portion 82 is a rib on the outer surface of the disc body 26. Inclining in a direction in which it can abut and ride on 33, the rib 33 is allowed to pass and is pressed in the axial direction. By pressing and releasing the leaf spring 84, the leaf spring 84 acts so as to strike the other disc body 26, and the other disc body 26 is vibrated.

  If comprised in this way, the other disk of the other disk is made to contact | abut the other end of the leaf | plate spring 84 by which one end was fixed to the storage main body 12 with the rib 33 along the radial direction of the outer surface of the other disk body 26. Since vibration is generated in the body 26, the clogging of coins can be further eliminated with a simple configuration, and the coins can be reliably fed out.
