Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a change dispensing device in a coin processing device such as a vending machine.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a conventional change dispensing device, the device disclosed in JP-A-1-128185 is known. In this device, the coin withdrawing from the change pipe by the slide piece is laterally displaced by the regulation piece having the coin guide surface, and the change of the center of gravity of the coin is forcibly displaced from the slide piece to dispense the change. It was

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-mentioned device, a regulation piece for displacing the coin laterally and a mechanism accompanying it are required, and the mechanism of this part is complicated accordingly. Further, if the movement of the center of gravity of the coin from the slide piece is not reliably performed by the restriction piece, the coin may not drop from the slide piece and the change may not be paid out reliably.

An object of the present invention is to provide a device which pays attention to such a problem and has a simple structure, and which can more certainly dispense change.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 A change dispensing device of the present invention for this purpose is a slidable device having a plurality of change cylinders for storing change and a receiving portion provided corresponding to the change cylinders for receiving the change in the lowermost stage of the change cylinders. In the change dispensing device including the slide piece, the receiving portion is laterally displaced from the center of gravity of the change in the lowermost stage of the change cylinder.

[0006]

In such a change dispensing device, the position of the coin receiving portion provided on the slide piece is set in advance to a position laterally displaced from the center of gravity of the change received in the receiving portion. Therefore, the change that has been moved to the payout position by the slide piece is not balanced on the receiving part of the slide piece, it will fall securely, and a simple mechanism that does not require additional parts, The payout is surely done.

【Example】

 A preferred embodiment of the change dispensing device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4 show a change dispensing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a plurality of change cylinders, and each change cylinder 1 stores a change 2 therein. Below each change cylinder 1, a slide piece 3 having a concave coin receiving portion 4 as shown in FIG. 4 is provided corresponding to each change cylinder 1. The change 2 at the bottom of the change cylinder 1 is received by the coin receiving portion 4 of the slide piece 3 corresponding to each change cylinder 1, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the coin receiving portion 4 of the slide piece 3 is set at a position laterally displaced from the center of gravity of the change 2 to be received.

The slide piece 3 is provided so as to be movable in its own axial direction. A guide plate 7 having a slit 6 is provided below the slide piece 3, and the slit 6 extends in the moving direction. As shown in FIG. 4, a guide fitting insertion portion 5 is provided at one end of the slide piece 3, and the guide fitting insertion portion 5 slides in the extending direction of the slit 6 provided on the guide plate 7. It is inserted freely.

On the other end side of the slide piece 3, the slide piece 3 is moved by a selection mechanism (not shown) in a direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the slide piece 3, that is, in the arrow direction of FIG. A selection lever 8 that is selectively connected is provided.

The selection lever 8 is configured to reciprocate in the direction of the arrow in FIG. In this reciprocating motion, the power of the motor 10 as a drive source is transmitted to the output shaft 12 via a gear mechanism (not shown) in the gear case 11, and the drive cam 9 is connected to the output shaft 12 and is composed of an eccentric cam. Is rotated and the selection lever 8 engaged with the output shaft of the drive cam 9 (eccentric output shaft) is moved in the direction of the solid arrow.

Further, a change-out hole 13 as shown in FIG. 1 is provided on the side opposite to the slide piece 3 of the selection lever 8. The change payout hole 13 communicates with a coin return port (not shown) through an appropriate chute.

In the device configured as described above, the selection lever 8 is moved in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2 by the selection mechanism when the change is dispensed, and is selectively connected to the slide piece 3.

Subsequently, the motor 10 is driven, power is transmitted to the output shaft 12 via a gear mechanism (not shown) in the gear case 11, and the drive cam 9 connected to the output shaft 12 is rotated to drive the drive cam. The selection lever 8 engaged with the output shaft 9 and the slide piece 3 selectively connected to the selection lever 8 also integrally reciprocate.

By the above-mentioned reciprocating movement, the change 2 at the bottom of the change barrel 1 received in the coin receiving portion 4 of the slide piece 3 is moved to the change payout position.

Since the coin receiving portion 4 of the slide piece 3 is provided at a position that is laterally displaced from the center of gravity of the change 2 in advance, the change 2 is balanced on the coin receiving portion 4 in the change payout hole 13. Since the change 2 is not dropped and is certainly dropped, the change 2 can be paid out reliably and smoothly.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, when the change dispensing device of the present invention is used, the coin receiving portion, which is provided on the slide piece and receives the change in the lowermost stage of the change cylinder, is displaced laterally from the center of gravity of the change. Even with a simple structure, it is possible to reliably drop the change from the coin receiving portion at the change payout position and to reliably perform the payout.
