ツト出力が検銭処理時間よりも短い硬貨の投入間
隔であることを示す信号となる。 However, when the interval between inserting coins 2 is shorter than the coin verification processing time, the subsequent coin 2 is detected and the output of the AND gate 30 triggers the D-type FF 28 before the second timer 29 resets the first timer 27. Therefore, the D-type FF 28 is set, and this set output becomes a signal indicating that the coin insertion interval is shorter than the coin verification processing time.
アンドゲート31はD形FF28がリセツト状
態で硬貨2の投入を検知したとき出力を生じ、こ

マ29の出力でリセツトされる。 The AND gate 31 produces an output when the D-type FF 28 detects the insertion of the coin 2 in the reset state, starts the oscillator 32 with this output, and is reset with the output of the second timer 29.
上述の発振器32は設定された短い周期で発振
信号を出力し、この周期は阻止部材6,7が硬貨

この時間が経過すると、硬貨2が阻止部材6,7
より外れるような周期であつて、この周期によつ
て後続硬貨2の検銭処理時間の制御を行なう。 The above-mentioned oscillator 32 outputs an oscillation signal at a set short cycle, and this cycle is the blocking time during which the blocking members 6 and 7 hold the coin 2 in the passage 4 and gradually roll it in and out. In other words, the blocking members 6 and 7 prevent the coin 2 from rolling during the minimum period of time necessary to satisfy the coin verification processing time of the preceding coin 2. ,
After this time has elapsed, the coin 2 is removed from the blocking members 6, 7.
This cycle is such that it deviates even further, and the verification processing time for subsequent coins 2 is controlled by this cycle.
アンドゲート33はD形FF28がセツトされ
たとき、発振器32の発振信号を出力する。 AND gate 33 outputs the oscillation signal of oscillator 32 when D-type FF 28 is set.

is operated via the OR gate 34 between the above-mentioned reset output and the output of the oscillator 32.
前述の第1,第2のソレノイド16,17は通
常D形FF28のリセツト出力でON操作されてお
り、そのために両阻止部材6,7は通路4外に位
置して通路4を開放している。 The aforementioned first and second solenoids 16 and 17 are normally turned on by the reset output of the D-type FF 28, and therefore both blocking members 6 and 7 are located outside the passage 4 to open the passage 4. .
硬貨2が検銭処理時間より長い間隔で投入され
た場合は、D形FF28が第1タイマ27の出力

ゲート30の出力でトリガされる以前に、第2タ
イマ29の出力で第1タイマ27がリセツトされ

セツト状態を保持する。 If the coin 2 is inserted at an interval longer than the coin validation processing time, the D-type FF 28 stores the output of the first timer 27, but before it is triggered by the output of the AND gate 30 based on the detection of the subsequent coin 2. Since the first timer 27 is reset by the output of the second timer 29, the D-type FF 28 remains in the reset state without being set.
しかし、先行硬貨2に対して、後続硬貨2が先
行硬貨2の検銭処理時間よりも短い間隔で投入さ

8はセツトされる。 However, if the subsequent coin 2 is inserted with respect to the preceding coin 2 at an interval shorter than the verification processing time of the preceding coin 2, the first timer 27 and the second timer 29 time the subsequent coin 2. Since the process is restarted based on the detection, the AND gate 30 generates an output before the second timer 29 generates an output, and the D-type FF2
8 is set.
その結果、第1、第2のソレノイド16,17

部材7は通路4側に突出して、最先の後続硬貨2
の転動阻止を行なう。 FIG. 3A shows the initial state of rolling control. When a subsequent coin 2 at a short interval is detected, the second solenoid 17 is first turned off and the blocking member 7 protrudes toward the passage 4. The first subsequent coin 2
prevents rolling.
さらに、上述の阻止部材7の突出の運動は槓杆
21を介して上方の阻止部材6に伝動されてこの
阻止部材6を後退駆動し、上側の阻止部材6は通
路4を開放する。 Furthermore, the above-mentioned protruding movement of the blocking member 7 is transmitted to the upper blocking member 6 through the lever 21 to drive the blocking member 6 backward, and the upper blocking member 6 opens the passage 4.
従つて、転動阻止制御初期では先願の後続硬貨
2は下側の阻止部材7で転動が阻止され、これに
続いて2番目の後続硬貨2があるとすれば、該後
続硬貨2は上側の阻止部材6に対向している。 Therefore, in the early stage of the rolling prevention control, the subsequent coin 2 of the previous application is prevented from rolling by the lower blocking member 7, and if there is a second subsequent coin 2, then the subsequent coin 2 is It faces the upper blocking member 6.
ついで、第3図ロに示すように、第2ソレノイ
ド17がON操作されると、下側の阻止部材7は
上述のON操作の時間分通路4を開放し、硬貨2

れる。 When the rolling prevention control is performed on the two coins 2 by such alternating movement of the blocking members 6 and 7, the first subsequent coin 2 that is blocked is moved by the blocking member during the rolling prevention control. When rolling away from 7, the upper coin 2 is held by the blocking member 6, so even if there is a subsequent coin 2 after the second coin, its weight will not be applied. Pushed out by the above load (rolling speed increases)
This does not occur, and the rolling speed is kept constant and rolling prevention control is performed. Further, when the coin 2 is thrown in in a flipping manner, the two blocking members 6 and 7 control the blocking.
このようにして後続硬貨2は検銭処理時間に制
御され、徐々の転動によつて阻止部材7より外れ
ると、その硬貨2は電子検銭装置3に転動され
る。 In this way, the subsequent coin 2 is controlled during the validation processing time, and when it comes off the blocking member 7 by gradual rolling, the coin 2 is rolled into the electronic validation device 3.
