This relates to a coin replenishment safe in a machine.

``Prior Art'' As a coin replenishment safe for a coin depositing and dispensing machine, one disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 48-95898 has been known.

This coin replenishment safe is provided with a cartridge for storing replenishment coins that is removably attached to the main body of the device, and a locking mechanism that makes it possible to remove a bottom plate that serves as the bottom of the cartridge. When the cartridge is removed, the coins stored in the cartridge are fed to a hopper in the main body of the device.

``Problems that the invention attempts to solve'' By the way, in the above-mentioned coin replenishment safe,
It was necessary to unlock the lock mechanism when removing the bottom plate from the cartridge, and to lock the same lock mechanism when attaching the bottom plate to the cartridge. In other words, in the coin replenishment safe described above, it is necessary to repeatedly unlock and lock the locking mechanism each time the bottom plate is opened and closed, making the operation of opening and closing the bottom plate very troublesome.

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a coin replenishment safe that simplifies the operation of opening and closing the bottom plate using the lock mechanism and efficiently replenishes coins to the hopper. purpose.

"Means for Solving the Problems" In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a coin replenishment safe for a coin depositing and dispensing machine, in which a coin replenishment safe is detachably attached to the main body of the device, the safe is supported by the safe body and has coins stored therein and has an opening on its lower surface, and is moved horizontally between a position where the opening of the safe body is open and a position where it is closed. A bottom plate is provided on the safe side to hold the bottom plate in a closed position of the opening of the safe body, and a bottom plate closing means is provided on the safe side to hold the bottom plate in a closed position, and on the device body side to which the safe is attached and detached, A release means is provided for releasing the closed state of the opening of the bottom plate by the bottom plate closing means, and the bottom plate closing means is provided so as to be movable in the vertical direction and freely appear and retract on the movement path of the bottom plate,
And when it moves downward, it becomes the exit position,
The safe includes a regulating member that regulates the horizontal movement of the bottom plate and holds the lower surface of the safe body in a closed state, and an engaging member that is connected to the regulating member, When attached to the main body, it is provided so as to come into contact with the engaging member of the bottom plate closing means, and at the position of contact with the engaging member, presses the engaging member upward to engage the engaging member. a release member that moves the regulating member connected to the member to a position recessed with respect to the movement path of the bottom plate; and a release member that supports the bottom plate in the position where the opening of the safe main body is opened from above, so that the bottom plate is fixed to the safe. A fixing means for restricting removal from the apparatus body together with the main body is provided.

"Operation" According to this invention, when the safe, which is a cassette, is attached to the main body of the device, the release member of the release means presses the engagement member of the bottom plate closing means upward,

When the connecting shaft 50 moves in the direction of arrow C, the connecting shaft 50 is moved in the same direction along the elongated hole 51, and the slide member 38 connected to the connecting shaft 50 is moved in the same direction with the hinge 40. By lifting it up, the restriction on movement of the bottom plate 22 caused by the contact between the locking door 41 supported by the hinge 40 and the protrusion 22A is released (the function of the elongated hole 52 will be described later).

Next, opening and closing of the storage section 30 using the lock will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3.

In FIG. 1, the reference numeral 55 is a lock body provided on the front side of the support mechanism body 33. This lock body 55 is operated by a key (not shown), and by this operation, the support mechanism body 3
A regulating member 56 disposed within the shaft 3 is rotated about an axis RO.

As shown in FIG. 1, the regulating member 56 is formed into a bent shape in a side view, and in the position shown in FIG. When abutting against each other, rotation of the locking door 41 in the direction of arrow H is restricted.

Further, when the regulating member 56 is operated by the key, the tip of the regulating member 56 moves upward (described later with reference to FIGS. 8B and 8C).
The rotation restriction of the locking door 41 by the restriction member 56 is released. When the restriction member 56 releases the restriction on the rotation of the locking door 41 by operating the key, the bottom plate 22 is pulled out in the direction of arrow A to open the lower surface of the storage section 30. Is possible. That is, since it is possible to rotate the locking door 41 in the direction of the arrow H by operating the key, the locking door 41 does not restrict the movement of the protrusion 22A, and thereby the bottom plate 22
It is possible to open the lower surface of the storage section 30 by pulling it out in the direction of arrow A.

On the other hand, at the rear of the protrusion 22A on the bottom plate 22,
As shown in FIG. 1, an inclined surface (indicated by reference numeral 22C) that slides on the lower end of the locking door 41 is provided. When the locking door 41 is slid along the slope 22C of the projection 22A, the locking door 41 is pushed up in the direction of arrow C by the sliding surface 22C. Then, without the locking door 41 engaging with the protrusion 22A, the bottom plate 22 is moved to the arrow B.
It is possible to close the opening 30A of the storage section 30 by moving it in the direction (assuming that the bottom plate 22 is open).

Furthermore, a compression spring 5 is provided between the fixing member 36 and the guide member 39 to urge the locking door 41 downward.
7,57 are provided. This compression spring 57,
57 is arranged along the guide shafts 37, 37, and allows the locking door 41 and the protrusion 22A (sloped surface 22C) of the bottom plate 22 to smoothly slide as described above, and the storage portion 30 After the locking door 41 is closed, the locking door 41 is placed in the position shown in FIG.

Furthermore, the protrusion 22A of the bottom plate 22 and the locking door 4
1 slides and the locking door 41 moves in the direction of arrow C, the connecting shaft 50 moves along the elongated hole 52 of the slide member 38 connected to the locking door 41. This allows the locking door 41 to be moved independently in the same direction without being interlocked with the engagement member 43.

On the other hand, a hinge 57 is provided on the lower surface of the bottom plate 22 and at an intermediate position. This hinge 5
Reference numeral 7 is a device in which the left portion of the bottom plate 22 in FIGS. When pulled out to the side (in the direction of arrow A), a portion 22D of the bottom plate 22 rotates downward (see FIG. 9C) (described later).

Further, on the lower surface of the support mechanism main body 33, a second
As shown in the figure, regulating pieces 58, 58 are provided. These regulating pieces 58, 58 come into contact with a portion indicated by reference numeral 22E of the bottom plate 22 (see FIGS. 1 and 2), and due to this contact, the bottom plate 2
Movement beyond a certain level along the direction of arrow A of 2 is restricted.

As described above, the operation for pulling out the bottom plate 22 in the direction of arrow A includes operating the key to release the restriction on rotation of the locking door 41 by the restriction member 56 (operation), and operation using the release member. 45,45
There is a method (operation) in which the locking door 41 is moved upward by the pressure of
This is done to replenish the coin replenishment safe 20 with a predetermined amount of coins, and in the latter case, the coin replenishment safe 20 is attached to the replenishment safe support structure 21 and the coins in the coin replenishment safe 20 are stored as coins. This is done to replenish the cylinder 6.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 8A to 8C, the moving operation (operation) of the bottom plate 22 when a key is used will be explained in order of steps.

(1) First, Figure 8A shows the state before operation.
In this state, the tip of the restricting member 56 restricts the rotation of the locking door 41 in the direction of the arrow H, so the bottom plate 22 cannot be pulled out in the direction of the arrow A.

(2) Then, insert the key (not shown) into the lock body 55 and rotate the regulating member 56 around B. As a result, the restriction on rotation of the locking door 41 by the tip of the restriction member 56 is released, and as shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C, the protrusion 2 on the bottom plate 22
2A, the bottom plate 22 can be pulled out in the direction of arrow A while rotating the locking door 41 in the direction of arrow H.

Further, in order to return the bottom plate 22 pulled out in this way to its original state (the state shown in FIG. 8A), it is sufficient to simply move the bottom plate 22 in the direction of arrow B. That is, by pushing the bottom plate 22 in the direction of arrow B, the inclined part 22C provided at the rear of the protrusion 22A and the lower end of the locking door 41 slide, and the locking door 41 is moved in the direction of arrow C. This causes the bottom plate 22 to return to the state shown in FIG. 8A.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 9A to 9C, the moving operation of the bottom plate 22 when the coin replenishment safe 20 is attached to the replenishment safe support structure 21 will be described in order of steps.

(1) First, FIG. 9A shows the state before the coin replenishment safe 20 is attached to the replenishment safe support structure 21.
In this state, the tip of the restricting member 56 restricts the rotation of the locking door 41 in the direction of the arrow H, so the bottom plate 22 cannot be pulled out in the direction of the arrow A.

(2) Next, when this coin replenishment safe 20 is attached to the replenishment safe support structure 21, as shown in FIG. , move the slide member 38 upward (in the direction of arrow C) together with the engaging member 43.
This causes the locking door 41 connected to the slide member 38 via the hinge 40 to move in the same direction. In this state, the locking door 41 and the protrusion 22A do not engage with each other, so the bottom plate 22 can be pulled out in the direction of arrow A (see FIG. 9C).

Note that when the bottom plate 22 is pulled out in the direction of arrow A, the right portion of the bottom plate 22 in the figure can rotate around the axis C, as shown in FIG. 9C.

When the bottom plate 22 is pulled out in this way and the lower surface of the storage section 30 is opened, the coins in the storage section 30 will pass through the supply passage 24, the gate 23, the second hopper 6, and the sorting storage route 7. The coins are sent into each coin storage cylinder 8 through the coins sequentially.

Further, in order to return the bottom plate 22 pulled out in this way to its original state (the state shown in FIG. 8A), it is sufficient to simply move the bottom plate 22 in the direction of arrow B. That is, since the locking door 41 is held in the pushed up state by the release members 45, 45, by pushing the bottom plate 22 in the direction of arrow B, the protrusion 22A and the locking door 41 can be separated. The bottom plate 22 can be returned to the state shown in FIG. 9B without contacting the bottom plate 22.

In the coin replenishment safe configured as described above, the protrusion 22A is locked by the locking door 41, and movement of the bottom plate 22 in the direction of arrow A is prevented (locked). Coins can be safely stored in the storage section 30 without opening the storage section 30 when carrying the coin replenishment safe 20.

Further, according to the coin replenishment safe described above, when the coin replenishment safe 20 is attached to the replenishment safe support structure 21, the lock of the bottom plate 22 with respect to the storage section 30 is automatically released, and the coin replenishment safe 20 is attached to the replenishment safe support structure 21. 21, the bottom plate 22 is automatically locked to the storage section 30, so by repeating unlocking and locking,
Compared to the conventional device that locks and unlocks the bottom plate 22, the workload of the operator who tries to replenish coins into the coin storage cylinder 8 can be reduced, and the work efficiency can be improved. It becomes possible to aim for.

On the other hand, as described above, the bottom plate 22
If it is pulled out from the bottom surface of the bottom plate 2,
The upper surface of 2 is the lower part 45B of the release member 45, 45, 4
5B (see Fig. 6), thereby restricting movement of the bottom plate 22 in the direction of arrow C, and supporting the coin replenishment safe 20 together with the bottom plate 22. Dislodgement from structure 21 is prevented.

In other words, this coin replenishment safe 20 cannot be removed from the replenishment safe support structure 21 unless the bottom plate 22 is closed, so for example, the coins in the replenishment safe 20 can be supplied to the second hopper 6. Unnecessary troubles such as those caused by the operator removing the replenishment safe 20 from the support structure 21 during the operation can be prevented, and in this respect as well, work efficiency can be improved.

Note that the springs 42, 57, and 57 are not limited to being disposed at the above-mentioned locations, but may be disposed at other locations to move the locking door 41 in the direction of arrow D, respectively.
The force may be applied in the direction of arrow G.

Furthermore, although the rotation of the locking door 41 in the direction of the arrow H is restricted by the restriction member 56, such restriction means is not limited to the configuration of the restriction member 56;
The locking door 41 from the front side (or rear side) in FIG.
A regulating member 56 or the like may be made to appear or disappear within the rotation path.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained in detail above, according to the present invention, when the safe body is attached to the device body, the bottom plate is automatically unlocked from the safe body, and
When the safe is removed from the main body of the safe after the bottom plate is closed, the bottom plate is automatically locked to the main body of the safe, so by repeatedly unlocking and locking, the bottom plate can be removed. Compared to conventional devices that lock and unlock coins, the operator's workload when replenishing coins into the device can be reduced, improving work efficiency. be effective.
