一般に、この種の硬貨選別装置は、ほぼ立設した基板と、この基板に硬貨１枚 の厚み分の間隔を有して対向配置されたフラッパと、基板あるいはフラッパのど ちらか一方に取り付けられ硬貨が転動するレールとで硬貨軌道が形成され、この 硬貨軌道を転動落下する正規硬貨によって揺動し、かつ軽量疑似硬貨を排除する 、基板に揺動自在に軸支された軽量選別レバーを備えている。そして、この種の 硬貨選別装置には、装置を硬貨転動方向に傾けて、軽量疑似硬貨でも軽量選別レ バーを揺動させるようにして、不正を行うことを防止するために、軽量選別レバ ーとは別に、基板に揺動自在に軸支した返却レバーを備えている。この返却レバ ーは、装置を傾けたときに、硬貨軌道中に突出して硬貨を返却軌道に返却したり 、軽量レバーの後方に配置されて、軽量レバーの揺動をロックして、このロック した軽量レバーによって硬貨を返却軌道に返却していた。 In general, this type of coin sorting device is provided with a substantially erected substrate, a flapper facing the substrate with an interval of one coin thickness, and a coin attached to either the substrate or the flapper. A coin track is formed with the rolling rails, and a lightweight sorting lever pivotally supported on the base plate swings around the coin track by a regular coin that rolls and falls and eliminates a light pseudo coin. I have it. In addition, in this type of coin sorting device, the device is tilted in the coin rolling direction so that the lightweight sorting lever can be swung even with a light pseudo coin so as to prevent fraudulent operations.

Normally, the circular plate 45 is housed in the guide space 44a because the bottom plate 41 is inclined by the angle α.
【００１５】 レバー３６の下方には、スリット状の入口部５０が設けられ、入口部５０に連 通して、第２の硬貨蓄積軌道５１が配設され、終端には、硬貨を下方に収納する 収納口５２が設けられている。５３は収納板で、図示しない電磁ソレノイドに収 納信号が到来すると、揺動して、収納レバー５３ａが収納口５２から退出して、 最下位の硬貨を収納する。同時に、ピン５３ｂが蓄積軌道５１内に進出して、２ 枚目以降の硬貨の転動を防止する。硬貨蓄積軌道５１の入口部と終端部には、光 学的な硬貨検出手段５４、５５が配設されている。また、硬貨蓄積軌道５１の終 端の転動方向には、返却レバー５８に仕切られて、下端部に返却口６０を有する 硬貨返却軌道５９が配設されている。A slit-shaped entrance portion 50 is provided below the lever 36, a second coin accumulation track 51 is provided so as to communicate with the entrance portion 50, and coins are stored below at the end. A storage port 52 is provided. Reference numeral 53 is a storage plate, and when a storage signal arrives at an electromagnetic solenoid (not shown), it swings and the storage lever 53a retracts from the storage opening 52 to store the lowest coin. At the same time, the pin 53b advances into the accumulation track 51 to prevent the rolling of the second and subsequent coins. Optical coin detecting means 54 and 55 are arranged at the entrance and the end of the coin accumulation track 51. Further, in the rolling direction of the end of the coin accumulation orbit 51, a coin return orbit 59 which is partitioned by the return lever 58 and has a return opening 60 at the lower end is arranged.
【００１６】 第２の硬貨蓄積軌道５１の上部には、硬貨蓄積軌道５１と平行してオーバーフ ロー軌道５７が配設され、このオーバーフロー軌道５７の転動方向終端は、硬貨 返却軌道５９に連設されている。このオーバーフロー軌道５７は、硬貨蓄積軌道 ５１をオーバーフローした正規硬貨Ａ5 の他に、前記レバー３６によって振り分 けられた軽量疑似硬貨Ａ4も導いて返却軌道として兼用される。On the upper part of the second coin accumulation track 51, an overflow track 57 is arranged in parallel with the coin accumulation track 51, and the rolling direction end of this overflow track 57 is connected to the coin return track 59. Has been done. The overflow track 57 also serves as a return track by guiding the light pseudo coin A 4 distributed by the lever 36, in addition to the regular coin A 5 overflowing the coin accumulation track 51.
【００１７】 このような構成において、以下動作を説明する。 硬貨投入口２から投入される硬貨Ａは、この硬貨投入口２において、正規硬貨 よりも外径が大なる疑似硬貨は投入することができないため、ここで選別される 。次に外径選別部８において、正規硬貨よりも外径が小なる疑似硬貨Ａ1 は選別 窓８ａによって選別され、落下窓８ｂから返却軌道３０方向に落下する。The operation of this configuration will be described below. The coin A input from the coin input port 2 is selected here because a pseudo coin having an outer diameter larger than that of the regular coin cannot be input in the coin input port 2. Next, in the outer diameter sorting section 8, the pseudo coin A 1 having an outer diameter smaller than that of the regular coin is sorted by the sorting window 8a and dropped from the drop window 8b in the direction of the return track 30.
【００１８】 次に、他方の外径選別部９において、２種類の正規硬貨のうち、小径、すなわ ち、１００円貨を選別して落下窓９ｂから下方の硬貨きりかえし部１６に落下す る。このとき、図３に示すように、１枚目の硬貨は、選別窓９ａに沿って落下窓 ９ｂを傾斜して落下し、後端部が落下窓９ｂを通過するときに、先端部が基板３ のＤ点と距離Ｌを有する延長部１７のＣ点に到達するので、硬貨詰まりせずに下 方の第１の硬貨蓄積軌道２１に落下する。また、１枚目の硬貨が、硬貨きりかえ し部１６内にあるにもかかわらず、連続して２枚目の硬貨が硬貨きりかえし部１ ６に落下してきた場合には、１枚目の硬貨の後端部は硬貨きりかえし部１６の入 口部、すなわち、Ｅ点にあり、Ｅ点とＦ点との距離ｌが硬貨２枚分の厚みより小 に形成されているので、２枚目の硬貨の先端部が１枚目の硬貨の後端部と基板３ との間に進入することがなく、このため、うろこ詰まりの発生を防止できる。Next, in the other outer diameter sorting unit 9, a small-diameter coin, that is, a 100-yen coin, is sorted out from the two types of regular coins and dropped from the drop window 9b to the coin changeover unit 16 below. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the first coin falls along the sorting window 9a while inclining through the dropping window 9b, and when the rear end passes through the dropping window 9b, the leading end of the coin passes through the substrate. Since it reaches the point C of the extension 17 having a distance L with the point D of 3 and the coin is not jammed, it falls to the lower first coin accumulation orbit 21. In addition, even if the first coin is in the coin reversing unit 16, if the second coin continuously falls into the coin reversing unit 16, the first coin The rear end of the coin is located at the entrance of the coin reversing part 16, that is, at point E, and the distance l between point E and point F is smaller than the thickness of two coins. Since the tip of the coin does not enter between the rear end of the first coin and the substrate 3, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of scale clogging.
【００１９】 次に、外径選別部９を通過した硬貨のうち、磁性を帯びた疑似磁性硬貨Ａ3 は 、外径選別部９の終端上部に配設されたマグネット１１によって吸引され転動速 度を減速されると共に、上方に吸引され下端部がコインレール７から離間した状 態で、スリット３４に進入する。このため、スリット３４に進入した疑似磁性硬 貨Ａ3 は、図２に示すように、上端部が突起３５に衝突して、転動が阻止される と共に、突起３５で転動方向とは逆方向に跳ね返り、斜め下方に落下して、第２ のオーバーフロー軌道５７から返却軌道５９から返却される。このように、転動 してきた硬貨を減速し、かつ突起３５に衝突させることによって硬貨の転動方向 を変えるようにしたので、疑似磁性硬貨を確実に返却軌道に導くことができる。 また、マグネット１１が硬貨軌道の上部に配設されており、転動してくる硬貨の 回転方向とは逆の回転モーメントを硬貨に付与するように硬貨を吸引するので、 単に吸引による減速以上に硬貨の転動速度が減速され、より確実な選別動作が得 られる。Next, of the coins that have passed through the outer diameter sorting section 9, the magnetized pseudo-magnetic coin A 3 is attracted by the magnet 11 arranged above the terminal end of the outer diameter sorting section 9, and the rolling speed is increased. The speed is reduced and the lower end enters the slit 34 in a state where the lower end is separated from the coin rail 7. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the pseudo magnetic coin A 3 that has entered the slit 34 has its upper end colliding with the protrusion 35 to prevent rolling, and at the same time, the protrusion 35 is opposite to the rolling direction. It bounces in the direction, falls obliquely downward, and is returned from the second overflow track 57 and the return track 59. In this way, the rolling direction of the coin is changed by decelerating the rolling coin and colliding with the protrusion 35, so that the pseudo magnetic coin can be reliably guided to the return track. In addition, since the magnet 11 is arranged above the coin orbit and attracts the coin so as to give the coin a rotational moment opposite to the rotating direction of the rolling coin, it is more than just decelerated by attraction. The rolling speed of coins is reduced, and more reliable sorting operation can be obtained.
【００２０】 次に、スリット３４を進入してきた硬貨のうち、軽量疑似硬貨Ａ4 は、レバー ３６に衝突するが、マグネット３８によるレバー３６の反時計方向の回動付勢力 以上の運動エネルギーを保有しておらず、このため、レバー３６によって、転動 方向とは逆方向に転動落下して、上述した疑似磁性硬貨と同様に、第２のオーバ ーフロー軌道５７に導かれる。一方、正規硬貨Ａ5、 すなわち、１０円貨は、レ バー３６に衝突すると、マグネット３８によるレバー３６の反時計方向の回動付 勢力以上の運動エネルギーを保有しているので、レバー３６を回動させて、その 結果、レバー３６の下方の入口部５０に落下して、第１の硬貨蓄積軌道５１に蓄 積される。Next, among the coins that have entered the slit 34, the light weight pseudo coin A 4 collides with the lever 36, but possesses kinetic energy equal to or greater than the counterclockwise rotation biasing force of the lever 36 by the magnet 38. Therefore, the lever 36 rolls and falls in the direction opposite to the rolling direction by the lever 36, and is guided to the second overflow orbit 57 like the pseudo magnetic coin described above. On the other hand, when the regular coin A 5 , that is, the 10-yen coin, collides with the lever 36, it has kinetic energy equal to or greater than the counterclockwise rotation urging force of the lever 36 by the magnet 38. As a result, as a result, it falls into the entrance portion 50 below the lever 36 and is accumulated in the first coin accumulation track 51.
【００２１】 ここで、硬貨選別装置１を転動方向に傾けて、硬貨の転動速度を故意に増加さ せて、軽量疑似硬貨Ａ4 にもかかわらずレバー３６を回動させて、第２の蓄積軌 道５１内に不正に蓄積しようとする場合を説明する。硬貨選別装置１を転動方向 に傾けて、基板３をα以上傾けると、図４に示すように、円板４５を支えている 下面板４１が、図中右下がりとなり、これにともない円板４５は、リブ４１と側 面板４３とに案内されて図５（ｂ）に示すように、ガイド空間４４ａ内において 下面板４１を転動して窓３９から硬貨軌道内に進出し、先端部がレバー３６の後 方に位置して、レバー３６を係止する。したがって、レバー３６は円板４１によ って回動をロックされので、硬貨選別装置１を傾けた場合には、レバー３６を通 過するすべての硬貨を第２のオーバーフロー軌道５７に導き返却して、不正操作 を防止している。Here, the coin sorting device 1 is tilted in the rolling direction to intentionally increase the rolling speed of the coin, and the lever 36 is rotated in spite of the lightweight pseudo coin A 4 to move the second coin. A case will be described in which an attempt is made to illegally store in the storage track 51 of FIG. When the coin sorting device 1 is tilted in the rolling direction and the substrate 3 is tilted by α or more, as shown in FIG. 4, the lower plate 41 supporting the disc 45 is lowered to the right in the figure, and the disc is accompanied by this. The rib 45 is guided by the rib 41 and the side plate 43, and rolls the bottom plate 41 in the guide space 44a to advance into the coin track from the window 39 as shown in FIG. It is located behind the lever 36 and locks the lever 36. Therefore, the lever 36 is locked by the disc 41 so that when the coin sorting device 1 is tilted, all the coins passing through the lever 36 are guided to the second overflow track 57 and returned. Prevent unauthorized operations.
【００２２】 このように、硬貨選別装置１を傾けた場合には、レバー３６の回動を阻止する 部材として円板４５を採用し円板４５の転動を利用しているので、傾きに対して の応答がよく、これにより、不正を確実に防止できると共に、傾きに対しての応 答性の調整を不要とする。また、円板４５を保持する部材である下面板４１、上 面板４２、側面板４３及びリブ４４を第２の側板４０に一体形成したので、組み 立てる必要がいっさい無く、このため、部品点数の削減と、組立時間の大幅な短 縮を図ることが可能となる。As described above, when the coin sorting device 1 is tilted, the disk 45 is used as a member for preventing the rotation of the lever 36 and the rolling of the disk 45 is used. All the responses are good, which makes it possible to reliably prevent fraud and eliminate the need to adjust the response to inclination. Further, since the lower surface plate 41, the upper surface plate 42, the side surface plate 43, and the ribs 44, which are members for holding the circular plate 45, are integrally formed on the second side plate 40, there is no need to assemble them. It is possible to reduce the number and significantly reduce the assembly time.
