Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a coin processing device for a vending machine.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A conventional coin processing device for a vending machine has a management switch unit for collecting coins as shown in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-66385, and each switch of the management switch unit is provided. By operating it, various coins stored in the coin case can be collected.

Here, as shown in FIG. 4, the management switch unit accommodates a switch board 3 which is a board in which a plurality of pressure-contact type switches 2 which are electrical parts are arranged in a switch case 1. It was formed. In the figure, reference numeral 4 is a surface sheet provided on the front surface of the management switch unit 5 for protecting the switch 2.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such a conventional coin processing device for a vending machine, if a detergent or the like is poured by a mischief from the coin inlet provided on the front door and the detergent or the like adheres to the base plate, the device malfunctions. However, change may be illegally paid out. In addition, the device may malfunction even if water droplets such as rain flowing from the coin slot adhere to the substrate.

Therefore, in order to prevent such malfunctions due to mischief, water drops such as rain, etc., conventionally, at the time of assembling the management switch part, after mounting the board on the switch case, the switch case is filled with silicon or the like. This prevents water droplets from adhering to the substrate.

However, when the switch case is filled with silicon or the like as described above, not only the cost of the management switch unit is increased, but also when the substrate or the switch is damaged, the silicon or the like is temporarily removed. It had to be removed, and there was a problem that it took time to recover from the failure.

An object of the present invention is to provide a coin processing device of a vending machine capable of preventing water droplets and the like from adhering to a substrate.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention provides a coin processing device for a vending machine provided with a substrate on which electrical components and the like are arranged, an inner case surrounding the substrate, a case provided with a groove portion outside the inner case, A drainage hole formed below the case and communicating with the groove is provided.

[0009]

[Action]

 With this configuration, it is possible to form a case by forming a groove outside the inner case that surrounds the substrate on which the electrical components and the like are arranged, and further form a drain hole communicating with the groove below the case.

[0010]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a coin processing device of a vending machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the same symbols as those in FIG. 4 represent the same or corresponding parts.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 6a denotes a sorting / counting unit arranged above the coin processing device 7 for sorting coins inserted from a coin slot (not shown) and counting the amount of money, and 6b stores various kinds of changeable coins. It is a coin tube.

As shown in FIG. 2, 8 has a switch case 1 which is a case in which an inner case 9 is formed inside and drain holes 10 are formed on both sides of the bottom surface 1a. It is a switch part. In addition, 2a is a collection coin display part on which the type of coins to be collected is displayed, and when this collection coin display part 2a is pressed, the switch 2 located on this back is pressed and displayed. You can collect coins.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 2, the inner case 9 of the management switch section 8 has, for example, a top surface 9a inclined to the left and right, and is a groove section communicating with the switch case 1 to the drain hole 10. The right and left drainage passages 11 are formed, and the switch substrate 3 is housed therein.

By providing such an inner case 9 inside the switch case 1, even if water droplets (not shown) or the like travel along the back side of the switch case 1 and flow into the inside of the switch case 1, Water drops and the like travel down the drainage passage 11 and run down.

It should be noted that if water droplets or the like flow into the inside of the switch case 1 through the opening on the back side of the switch case 1 by widening the width of the drainage passage 11, the water droplets or the like will be on the inner surface side of the switch case 1. It is attached to the pipes, falls by gravity, and is drained to the outside from the drain holes 10 communicating with the lower portion of the drain passage 11.

Further, even if the width of the drainage passage 11 is narrowed, water droplets and the like enter the drainage passage 11 due to surface tension and are prevented from entering the inner case 9, and thereafter, water droplets and the like that have entered the drainage passage 11. Flows downward due to gravity and is drained to the outside through the drain hole 10 communicating with the drain passage 11.

By the way, the top surface 9a of the inner case 9 has an intermediate portion located at the upper side, and both side portions communicate with the left and right drainage passages 11 and are inclined. Therefore, even if water droplets or the like that have flowed through the upper surface 1b of the switch case 1 and flowed into the inside of the switch case 1 drop onto the top surface 9a of the inner case 9, the water droplets or the like are inclined to the top surface 9a of the inner case 9. It is designed to run down along.

Next, a description will be given of the operation of preventing the water droplets and the like from adhering to the management switch section of the coin processing device thus configured.

Water drops and the like flow into the coin processing device 7 due to mischief, rain, etc. from the coin insertion opening of the front door, and the water drops and the like are transmitted through the upper surface 1b of the switch case 1 of the management switch section 8 to the switch case 1. When flowing inward, the water droplets and the like that have entered from the side face enter the drainage passage 11, move downward, and are drained to the outside from the drain hole 10. Further, water droplets or the like that have entered from the upper surface 1b of the switch case 1 drop onto the top surface 9a of the inner case 9.

After that, the water drops and the like flow down along the inclination of the top surface 9 a of the inner case 9 and are formed between the inner case 9 and the switch case 1 without flowing into the inner case 9. The water is drained to the outside through the drain holes 10 through the left and right drain passages 11.

In this way, the inner case 9 is formed inside the switch case 1 of the management switch unit 8 so that the water droplets and the like that have flowed into the management switch unit 8 flow down along the inner case 9. By doing so, it is possible to prevent water droplets or the like from coming into contact with the switch substrate 3.

[0023]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent water droplets or the like from coming into contact with the substrate on which the electrical components are arranged inside the inner case formed inside the case, so that it is not necessary to fill them with silicon or the like. It is possible to prevent malfunction of the coin processing device.
