Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial field of application) The present invention receives coins inserted from a coin receiving port, and the received coins are stretched obliquely upward in an inclined state. The present invention relates to a coin receiving and delivering device for delivering coins to a coin delivery port in an upper region of the conveyor.

(Prior Art) As shown in FIG. 5, a device of this type includes a conveyer 1 stretched obliquely upward in a slanted state, side walls 2 and 2 constituting both sides along the conveyer 1, and a conveyer. A coin receiving space 4 is formed by the bottom surface side wall portion 3 provided in the direction intersecting the lower area of the inclined surface of 1, and
The coins inserted into the receiving space 4 through the coin receiving port are engaged with the coin holding projections 1b formed at a predetermined pitch on the surface of the belt 1a of the conveyor 1 as the conveyor 1 moves, so that the coin surface is a conveyor. It was designed to be conveyed upward along the surface and delivered from the coin delivery port formed in the upper area of the conveyor.

The inserted coins are the side walls 2 and 2 and the bottom side wall 3
When it was leaning against the coin, the coin holding projection 1b acted to bring the coin down and to move it along the conveyor surface.

However, in such a conventional device, the inserted coins along the side wall portions 2 and 2 are provided on both side wall portions 2 and 2.
When aligned, no matter how much the conveyor is moved, the aligned coins cannot be knocked down by simply rotating while maintaining the aligned state, and the coin holding protrusion 1b on the surface of the conveyor 1
There was a problem in that it could not be engaged with and delivered upward.

Therefore, as described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-5566, at least a part of the bottom wall of the coin receiving and delivering device is used as a movable wall member, and the coin is vibrated by the movable wall member. Thus, there is a device that prevents the coin from idling and sends the coin along the surface of the conveyor.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) By the way, in the above-mentioned device, no matter how much vibration is given to the movable wall member, when the inserted coins are aligned along the side wall in the entire width direction of the conveyor. All the aligned coins vibrate in the same way, but it is difficult to knock down the coins, and the problem that coins cannot be engaged by engaging the coin holding protrusions on the surface of the conveyor and sent out upward remains. There is.

Further, since the coin is vibrated by the movable wall member of the side wall portion for the bottom surface, there is a new problem that a loud noise is generated due to the collision with the coin when the movable wall member vibrates.

The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and can reliably fall even when coins are aligned in the entire width direction of the conveyor along the side wall portion, and the received coins can be reliably transferred to the coin delivery port. It is an object of the present invention to provide a coin receiving and sending device that can send and receive coins.
