Abstract

PURPOSE:To observe the stagnating state of a stagnated coin by providing a hole part to be penetrated into a tube wall in the depth side of a carrier tube in its depth direction and an observation hole communicated with the hole part and formed on the back board of the depth side from the hole part. CONSTITUTION:Carrier tubes 19 and 30 forming at least a part of a path inclined downward toward a reception port 13 to open to the upper face of a coin mechanism 12 disposed to the depth side downward from the charging port 5 of a door and to receive a coin into the coin mechanism 12 for which the charged coin is carried by dead weight are provided. A hole part 31 penetrating through the tube wall of the depth side of the carrier tubes 19 and 30 in its depth direction and an observation hole communicated with the hole part 31 and formed on a backboard 11 of the depth side from the hole part 31 are provided. Thus, the stagnating state of the coin stagnated within the path can be observed through the observation hole 33 and the hole part 31 from the back bopard side of a door 2.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention provides a door that opens on the front side and covers the front side 1-' of a case in which goods are stored inside. [ ] Insertion of coins [ ] and insertion of a vending machine equipped with a return lever for returning the inserted coins ]
9. [Prior art] Insertion 1, which is inserted into the front of the door that covers the illumination opening of the case.
The coins inserted into the coins are received by the coin mechanism r, which is formed on the front part of the door and is placed behind and below the slot on the back side of the door, across from the exhibition room where sales items are displayed.
Using the gravity of the drop between the input [2] and the receiving port, the I/' is conveyed through the inclined passage while sliding or rolling while being energized.

However, 1-1 Recently, there has been a demand for vending machines that have a high ability to attract customers, especially because of profitability! By spreading out the exhibition room and brightening the entire front area, it also has a depth similar to that of the C-Win 1-2, making it possible to see inside from that wide area in front of you. There are many vending machines that are designed to spread the ゛C population and draw the ゛C population.Therefore, the distance between the input 1-1 and the coin mechanism 11 in one direction below the water tends to be wide. However, the positional relationship between the slot and the coin mechanism under L cannot be changed because of the overall structure of the vending machine.3 As a result, the slope of the aisle becomes gentler, and the road surface of the aisle σ) is prevented from adhering to foreign matter. Road surface and coins due to dirt or other causes? If the friction resistance increases, the hardness, (〒g) sliding If, or transfer will be effective, making it easier for the input to get stuck in the passageway, but this type of 111 vending machine A conventional example of the input coin conveying device is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. Fig. 3 is a perspective view from the front diagonally upper right showing the external appearance of the automatic automatic vending machine, and Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a conventional automatic vending machine's input coin conveying device.

One end of the movable arm 23 is fixed, and a roller 25 is attached to the co-rotating shaft 24 which projects in the depth direction and has a flir end fixed to the other end of the co-moveable shaft 22 of the movable arm 23 that projects in the radial direction. is rotatably supported. This roller 25 is rotated by the rotation operation of the return lever 7, and is biased upward by the recoil spring 26 when the roller 25 is pulled up.

...11 Push down one end of the sliding plate 29, which has a vertically long Z-shaped cross section. Accordingly, the plunger jack 4 is pushed down by the lower ends of the two sliding plates, and the coin mechanism 1-2 receives the coins inserted from the input port 5 from the output port 15 by 3ffl ii'!
: A return operation is performed in which I6 is paid out into the intermediary L7 delay slot 9.

The selling operation of this vending machine is as follows: coins are inserted starting from 15, and when a product is selected using selection button 4, a sales command signal causes case 1 to be opened. At the same time as the stored products are carried out into the outlet 10, the change stored in the two-in mechanism 1-2 is discharged from the outlet 15 and passed through the passage 21, if necessary. [Problem to be Solved by the Invention] Incidentally, such an input coin conveying device of a vending machine that uses gravity has a coin transfer mechanism formed in the conveying pipes L 9 and 20. 1
i2] road surface is slightly dirty with foreign matter, L-C is also route 2.
1. To prevent coins from stagnating in the area, remove the road surface,
] It is necessary to apply a component of the 1F force along the slope of the road surface to the coin, which is sufficiently larger than the frictional force that the coin receives from the road surface upon contact. To do this, it is sufficient to increase the slope of the pass &+12 II by seven times, but the above-mentioned relationship (11
If the placement is changed), the spacing in the direction after eruption tends to widen, and on the contrary, the slope becomes cherry blossoms and is introduced @!
It is in a situation where it is easy to stagnate in the passageway 21. In this situation, even if the road surface is slightly soiled with foreign objects, it is necessary to ensure that the coins do not stagnate in the passageway 21 and are transported into the reception area 13. When the coin is stagnant in the passage 21, it is necessary to observe the state of stagnation of the coin in the passage 21 and investigate the true cause of the coin stagnation in the passage 21.However, the passage 21 is a conveyance pipe.
920, and the coin stagnates] Also, there is a problem in that there is no means to observe the state of stagnation of the coin in the passage 219. The object of the present invention is to provide an automatic W and optical input coin conveying device that can observe the stagnant state of coins stagnant in the 9th stage. According to this invention, "1iir is attached to the front part of the door, which covers the front part [1 of the case whose front face is open and the product is stored inside, and whose back face is covered with a back plate.
Equipped with a slot (") that opens at 1fyr and inserts coins, and a return lever that returns the inserted coins,
1 "The coins inserted from 1 in the entry entry are 1MR71J[! The coins are transported by their own weight through an inclined passageway that descends toward the receiving opening that receives the coins into the coin mechanism. In the input coin conveying device of the vending machine, a conveying pipe forming at least a part of the passage, a hole extending the depth side pipe wall of the conveying pipe in the direction of its depth J2; Formed in the back plate communicating with this hole and on the deeper side than this hole.
A viewing window shall be provided.

In addition to item 1-, the viewing window shall be covered with a lid that opens and closes with the operation of the bar.

[Effect]

According to this invention, the Qrf surface is provided in the front part of the door whose back surface is covered with the back plate and which covers the front part 1 of the case in which the product is stored inside. The coins inserted through the slot into which the coins are inserted are placed below the depth side of the door from the slot (i) of the door. Receiving 1] A conveying pipe forming at least a part of an inclined passageway that extends toward this receiving port, which is conveyed by its own weight, and passing through the pipe wall on the depth side of this conveying pipe in the performance direction G. Since it is equipped with a sliding hole and a viewing window that communicates with this hole and is formed on the back plate on the depth side of this hole, the °C passage can be seen from the rear side of the door (...1 through the viewing window and the hole). You can observe the stagnation status of coins inside 9. In addition to the above, 11!
Since I covered the viewing window with a lid that opens with the operating force of the return lever that operates the return lever, I can cover the viewing window with indigo except when I operate the retreat lever and open 1. It is possible to prevent flying insects and the like that have entered from the inside of the aircraft or through the viewing window into gaps in the inside of the aircraft or into the 1st morgue compartment formed on the door.
