Switch to the safe 104 side via 22. Lower belt 105
Side is selected when transferring to the subsequent process side for change,
The safe 104 side is selected when the change in the subsequent process becomes full and transfer is unnecessary.

A coin lifting device is composed of a combination of two belts, and a coin is sandwiched between the belts and vertically transferred. That is, one belt 105 basically has three pulleys 107, 108, 109.
The other belt 106 is basically wound around each of the two pulleys 110 and 111. Pulley 107 mode
It is driven to rotate by 113. The right vertical portion of the belt 105 and the left vertical portion of the belt 106 are configured to contact each other's surfaces, and in order to secure this contact sufficiently strongly, five intermediate pulleys 112 are provided at the contact portion. Are installed in a zigzag pattern in the vertical direction. Therefore, the coins dropped from the switching device 103 onto the surface of the belt 105 are first transferred to the left and then at the pulley 110, the coins of each belt 10 are transferred.
It is sandwiched by the contact portions of 5,106 and is transported vertically upward, and then falls onto the conveyor 130 via the ejection chute 114 at the position of the pulley 109 that has climbed up.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of a coin lifting device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The first embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a front view of the first embodiment. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a throwing chute, which rolls the coins 9 in a row so that the surfaces thereof are along a vertical surface, and guides them to a lower position of each guide 4A, 4B described in detail below. A switching gate 2 is provided on the lower surface of the end of the throw-in chute 1, and the transfer direction of the coin 9 guided up to this point can be changed to the side of the lower take-out chute 3 by switching by a command. The coin 9 is stored in the safe by the change of the transfer direction. Each of the guides 4A and 4B is a U-shaped plate-shaped member, and is arranged so as to face each other with its longitudinal direction being vertical. Each end of the coin 9 in the horizontal direction is guided by the U-shaped portions of the guides 4A and 4B so that the coin 9 can move vertically. In addition, the insertion end of the insertion chute 1 is connected near the lower ends of the guides 4A and 4B so that the surface of the coin 9 at that time is included in the same vertical surface as that of the insertion chute 1.

Reference numeral 6 is a spiral rod, which is attached to a vertical rotary shaft 5 and is formed as a spiral with a pitch exceeding the diameter of the coin 9 around the rotary shaft 5. The spiral rod 6 is
Along with the rotation, the portions for each pitch are sequentially positioned so as to pass through the facing spaces of the guides 4A and 4B at right angles. Since each part located at this penetrating point rises as the spiral rod 6 rotates, the coin 9 is vertically pushed upward by being pushed up by this. The pitch of the spiral rods 9 exceeds the diameter of the coins 9 so that at least one coin 9 can be inserted into each pitch. Now,
The coin 9 transferred vertically upward contacts the ejection assisting plate 7a attached to the upper end of the guide 4B to change its direction, and is guided downward by the ejection chute 7. Now,
By reversing the spiral rod 6 with the rotating shaft 5,
The coin 9 held by the spiral rod 6 can be lowered and inserted into the take-out chute 3 from its left side surface. This is in case the coin 9 being pumped needs to be stored in the safe.

The second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 is a front view of the second embodiment, FIG. 3 is a side view of the same, and FIG. 4 is a plan view of the same. In the second embodiment, instead of the spiral rod in the first embodiment,
A spiral body is used in which a spiral surface is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder. In FIG. 2, the spiral body 15 is composed of a cylindrical portion 15a whose axis is vertical, and a spiral portion 15b which is attached to the outer peripheral surface so as to project and has a spiral surface having a pitch exceeding the diameter of the coin 9. As shown in FIG. 4, the guide 14 is a U-shaped plate member and is installed with its longitudinal direction vertical so as to closely face the cylindrical portion 15a of the spiral body 15. Guide 14
The coin 9 is guided so as to be vertically straight-movable along a narrow facing space between the U-shaped bottom surface and the cylindrical portion 15a. As shown in FIG. 3, with the rotation of the spiral body 15, the coin 9 is located in the narrow opposing space between the U-shaped bottom surface of the guide 14 and the cylindrical portion 15a, with each pitch portion of the spiral portion 15b being sequentially arranged. It is transported vertically upward by being pushed up by the parts located here. As in the first embodiment, by reversing the spiral body 15, the coin 9 being pumped can be stored in the safe.

The members outside the guide 14 and the spiral member 15 described above will be supplementarily described. In FIG. 2, the input chute 11 corresponds to the input chute 1 in the first embodiment, and the coins 9 are aligned in a line so that the surface of the coin 9 is along a vertical plane, and the coins 9 are rolled by their own weights to roll the guides 14. The U-shaped bottom surface and the cylindrical portion 15a are guided to a lower position in a narrow facing space. Similarly, the switching gate 12 is the switching gate 2 in the first embodiment, the ejection chute 13 is the ejection chute 3 in the first embodiment, and the ejection chute 17 is the ejection chute 7 in the first embodiment. The ejection assisting plate 17a corresponds to the ejection assisting plate 7a in the first embodiment. Also in Figure 2,
In FIG. 3, the spiral body 15 is supported at its upper and lower ends by bearings not labeled, and is rotated by a motor 16 directly connected to the lower end.

The third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 is a front view of the third embodiment, FIG. 6 is a side view of the same, and FIG. 7 is a plan view of the same. The third embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that, in the second embodiment, the entire length of the spiral body corresponds to the vertical distance from the coin receiving port of the guide to the throwing port, whereas in the third embodiment. The total length of the spiral is less than the vertical distance from the coin receiving port of the guide to the discharging port. That is, in FIGS. 5 and 6, the entire length of the spiral body 25 including the cylindrical portion 25a and the spiral portion 25b is less than half the total length of the guide 24. Note that the other members that are not denoted by the same reference numerals are the same as those in FIGS. 2 to 4, so description thereof will be omitted. Therefore, the coins 9 are transferred from the charging chute and then transferred by the spiral portion 25b of the spiral body 25 by the distance in the axial direction at the pitch intervals, and thereafter, the coins 9 are transferred by the transfer of the spiral body 25. It is transferred upward along the guide 24 in the form of being pushed up by. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the coin 9 is

In the fourth embodiment, the coin 9 is an input chute.
The coins are arranged in a row by 31 along a predetermined vertical plane, rolled and guided by their own weight, inserted into the lower part of the guide 34, and one coin 9 newly inserted into this guide 34.
And all other coins 9 in the guide 34 preceding this are simultaneously pushed up by the reciprocating rectilinear movement of the push-up tool 35, and are prevented from descending by the check device 36, and are intermittently moved vertically upward in predetermined steps. It is transferred and is ejected along the ejection chute 37 from the ejection port of the guide 34 through the ejection assisting plate 37a. Therefore, the push-up tool 35 is of the piston type and structurally simple, so that the reliability of the operation can be improved and the cost can be reduced.

The fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 is a front view of the fifth embodiment, and FIG. 11 is a plan view of the same.

Teeth that mesh with 45,46 are attached. As shown in FIG. 11, the guide 44 is a rectangular cylindrical body capable of accommodating the coin 9 therein, has a hollow portion on the peripheral wall on the belt side, and through this, the surface layer member 49.
Is ready for entry. The guide 44 is provided so as to closely face the ascending side portion of the belt 48, and the charging chute 41 is provided at the bottom.
And, it is connected to the shooting shoot 47 at the top, respectively. Reference numeral 47a is a throwing-out auxiliary plate for the coin 9, which has the same function as in the above-mentioned respective embodiments.

Therefore, in the fifth embodiment, the coin 9 is
They are lined up in a row along the input chute 41 and slide down by their own weight.
After being guided and put into the lower end of the guide 44, the belt
By the transfer force and frictional force wrapped in the uneven surface of the surface layer member 49 attached to 48, it is pressed and slid against the inner surface of the opposing guide 44 to be transferred upward. After this transfer, it comes into contact with the ejection assisting plate 47a and is ejected from the ejection port above the guide 44, and slides down along the ejection chute 47. In the fifth embodiment, since the coin 9 is transferred in contact with the flexible surface member 49, there is no particular damage during the transfer.
