The coin sorting device according to the present embodiment includes a rotatable disc 1, and a coin supply unit A that continuously supplies coins one by one to a coin transport path 2 by a centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the disc 1. , A coin conveying path 2 extending on the tangential line of the disk 1, and a coin provided on the upper side of the coin conveying path 2 provided above the coin conveying path 2 and driven by driving means (not shown) via pulleys 3a and 3b. Depending on the material of the coin transport belt 3 (indicated by a chain double-dashed line) that carries the coin S by sandwiching the coin S between the coin S and the coin S that is embedded in the coin transport path 2 and is transported by the coin transport belt 3. And a coin denomination discriminating means B for discriminating the denomination and outputting a counting signal for each denomination, and a coin having an outer diameter larger than that of a coin of a denomination to be selected (hereinafter referred to as "set coin") Large coin removal means C for removing "large coins") and set coins A small-diameter coin excluding means D for excluding coins having a small outer diameter (hereinafter referred to as "small-diameter coin") and a large-diameter coin excluding means C of the coin transport path 2 are provided on the upstream side, and the coin supply section A starts supplying coins After that, when the first supplied coin is detected, the driving means (not shown)
Detecting means E for outputting a signal for stopping rotation of the disc 1 and driving of the coin transport belt 3 and outputting a signal for reversely rotating the coin transport belt 3 to a belt reversing means (not shown), and coin denomination discrimination. Based on the counting signal for each denomination from the means B, the number of coins for each denomination is totaled, the first signal for adjusting the width of the coin transport path 2 and the second signal for rotating the disc 1 subsequent to the first signal. And a denomination automatic setting means (not shown) for outputting a signal.

The coin transport path 2 is formed by a fixed rail 4a and a movable rail 4b, and the movable rail 4b is movable in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the fixed rail 4a and in a direction perpendicular to the fixed rail 4a.
In response to a signal from the coin, the distance between the fixed rail 4a and the movable rail 4b, that is, the width of the coin transport path 2 can be adjusted so as to be equal to the outer diameter of the set coin.

The coin denomination determining means B and the detecting means E are a light emitting element buried near the start point and the end point of the coin transport path 2, and a light receiving element (above the light emitting element) that receives light from the light emitting element. (Not shown).

The large-diameter coin removing means C includes a coin guide block 5 integrally fixed to the movable rail 4b, a large-diameter coin discharge port 6, and a large-diameter coin storage portion communicating with the large-diameter coin discharge port 6 (see FIG. The coin guide block 5 includes an inclined surface 5a (see FIG. 2) that rises in the coin advancing direction, a horizontal surface 5b that is continuous with the inclined surface 5a, a side surface 5c that extends parallel to the fixed rail 4a, and The curved surface 5d is continuous with the side surface 5c. As described above, the distance between the side surface 5c and the fixed rail 4a, that is, the width of the coin transport path 2 can be adjusted to be equal to the outer diameter of the set coin.

The small-diameter coin removing means D includes a second coin transport belt 7 (indicated by a chain double-dashed line), coin guide guides 8a and 8b formed at intervals equal to the outer diameter of the set coin, and a small-diameter coin accommodating portion 9. Become. An intermediate portion is provided between the coin guide guides 8a and 8b, and a small-diameter coin accommodating portion 9 is provided below the hollow portion.
Is provided. Further, a set coin storage portion (not shown) is provided on the downstream side of the coin guide guides 8a and 8b.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the set coin storage unit is connected to the coin wrapping device, and the set coins stored in the set coin storage unit are conveyed to and packaged by the coin wrapping device. The large-diameter coin storage unit and the small-diameter coin storage unit 9 are coin conveners.
The large-diameter coins and the small-diameter coins, which are in communication with each other and are accommodated in both accommodating portions, are conveyed to the coin supply unit A by the coin conveyor 10 and are supplied to the coin supply unit A again.

It should be noted that the means for detecting that the last supplied coin has reached the end point of the coin transport path 2 after the coin supply unit A starts supplying the coin is not limited to the detection unit E. Instead of the detection means E, it is possible to use a number counting means or a time counting means.

The coin counting means is a coin denomination discriminating means B after the coin supply is started.
The counting signals of all the coins passing above are received from the coin denomination discriminating means B, all the coins are counted, and the counted value is counted until the first fed coin reaches the end point of the coin transport path 2. When the predicted number is reached, as in the case of the detection means E, a signal for stopping the drive of the disc 1 and the coin transport bolt 3 is output, and a signal for rotating the coin transport belt 3 in the reverse direction is output to the belt reversing means. .

On the other hand, the time counting means starts time counting from the time when a signal is received when the first supplied coin is counted by the coin denomination determining means B after the start of coin supply, and the first supplied coin is transferred. When the time required to reach the end point of the path 2 has passed, similarly to the detection means E, a signal for stopping the drive of the disc 1 and the coin transport belt 3 and a signal for rotating the coin transport belt 3 in reverse are output, respectively. To do.

When the disc 1 and the coin transport belt 3 are driven by different driving means, the detecting means E, the number counting means,
When the clocking means outputs a signal for reversely rotating the coin conveying belt 3 to the belt counter-hand means, a signal for reversely rotating the disc 1 may be simultaneously output to the disc reversing means (not shown).

The coin sorting device according to this embodiment configured as described above operates as follows.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the operator starts the driving means of the coin sorting device after supplying a large number of coins S onto the disc 1, the disc 1 starts to rotate in the clockwise direction. At the same time,
The denomination automatic setting means sends a signal to a mechanism for driving the movable rail 4b, and the side surface 5c of the coin guide block 5 and the fixed rail 4a.
The movable rail 4b is moved so that the interval between the coins, that is, the width of the coin transport path 2 matches the outer diameter of the coin having the maximum diameter. Disk 1
The upper coin S receives the centrifugal force of the rotating disc and is continuously sent out one by one onto the coin transport path 2. in this case,
Since the width of the coin transport path 2 matches the outer diameter of the maximum diameter coin, coins of all denominations can be fed into the coin transport path 2. The coin S is a coin transport belt 3 and a coin transport path 2.
The coins are sandwiched between the upper surface of the coin and the upper surface of the coin, and the coins are conveyed on the coin conveying path 2 in the right direction in the drawing in a densely connected state. During the transportation of the coin, the coin denomination discriminating unit B discriminates the coin denomination according to the material, and the denomination counting signal is sent to the denomination automatic setting unit. When the leading coin S reaches the detecting means E, the detecting means E detects this and outputs a stop signal to a driving means (not shown) that drives both the disc 1 and the coin transport belt 3. While stopping the driving means, the detecting means E outputs a signal for rotating the driving means in the reverse direction to the belt reversing means (not shown). At this time, the leading coin is on the detecting means E, and the leading coin is continuously connected to the leading coin closely on the coin transport path 2. Next, the belt reversing means reversely rotates the driving means driving the coin transport belt 3. When the drive means rotates in the reverse direction, the coin transport belt 3 is also driven in the reverse direction, and the coins that are densely connected on the coin transport path 2 are sent back to the disc 1.

When the number counting means is used instead of the detecting means E, it operates as follows.

When the coin denomination determining unit B determines the coin denomination according to the material of the coin, the coin denomination counting signal is sent to the denomination automatic setting unit, and the coin counting signals of all coins are counted. Sent to. When the count value sent to the number counting means reaches a predetermined value, the number counting means determines that the leading coin has reached the end point of the coin transport path 2, and both the disc 1 and the coin transport belt 3 are determined. A stop signal is output to the driving means (not shown) that is driving the sheet, and the driving means is stopped, and at the same time, the number counting means outputs a signal for rotating the driving means to the belt reversing means (not shown). . Therefore, the coins that are conveyed in a densely connected state are conveyed to the end point of the coin conveyance path 2 and then sent back into the disc 1.

Further, when the time measuring means is used in place of the detecting means E, it operates as follows.

When the coin denomination determining means B determines the coin denomination according to the material of the coin, the coin denomination determining signal B is sent from the coin denomination determining means B to the denomination automatic setting means and the coin denomination is The time counting means starts timing from the time when the discrimination means B receives the signal for discriminating the coin that is first sent out. If a predetermined time has elapsed after starting the time counting, the time counting means determines that the leading coin has reached the end point of the coin transport path 2 and drives both the disc 1 and the coin transport belt 3. The drive means (not shown) that is operating outputs a stop signal, stops the drive means, and outputs a signal for rotating the drive means in the reverse direction to the belt reversing means (not shown). Therefore, the coins that are conveyed in a tightly connected state are
After being transported to the end point of No. 1, it is sent back into the disk 1 again.

The denomination automatic setting means determines the coin of the most denomination based on the counting signal of the denomination input from the coin denomination determining means B, and determines the set coin to be selected. Based on this determination, the denomination automatic setting means sends a signal to the mechanism for driving the movable rail 4b, and the distance between the side surface 5c of the coin guide block 5 and the fixed rail 4a, that is, the width of the coin transport path 2 is the maximum. The movable rail 4b is moved so as to match the outer diameter of coins of many denominations. Next, the denomination automatic setting means sends a signal to the driving means for driving the disc 1 to drive the driving means to rotate the disc 1 clockwise again.

When the disc 1 starts to rotate, the coin S on the disc 1 is sent to the coin transport path 2 by the centrifugal force of the disc 1 and is sandwiched between the coin transport belt 3 and the upper surface of the coin transport path 2 to deposit coins. It is transported on the transport path 2. Since the distance between the side surface 5c of the coin guide block 5 and the fixed rail 4a is adjusted to be equal to the coin of the most denomination type, that is, the set coin, the set coin and the small-diameter coin are fixed by the coin transport belt 3 to the fixed rail. 4a
And the side surface 5c, and further to the small-diameter coin storage portion D via the curved surface 5d. The set coins and the small-sized coins that have been conveyed to the small-diameter coin storage portion D are inherited by the second coin-conveying belt 7 and conveyed. The set coins are transported by the second coin transport belt 7 on the coin guide guides 8a and 8b, and are stored in the set coin storage portion (not shown). As shown in FIG. 3, the set coins stored in the set coin storage portion are sent to the coin packaging device and are packaged. The small-diameter coins fall downward from the intermediate portion between the coin guides 8a and 8b and are accommodated in the small-diameter coin accommodating portion 9.

On the other hand, the large-diameter coin has one end contacting the fixed rail 4a,
The coins are conveyed on the coin conveying path 2 by the coin conveying belt 3, but the distance between the fixed rail 4a and the side surface 5c is equal to the outer diameter of the set coin and smaller than the outer diameter of the large coin. At the end, the inclined surface 5a of the coin guide block 5 starts to rise. Large-sized coins are conveyed by the coin conveying belt 3 in that state, one end contacts the fixed rail 4a, and the other end is an inclined surface.
The coin moves from 5a to the horizontal plane 5b and is conveyed in a state of being inclined with respect to the coin conveying path 2. For this reason, the large-sized coin is guided by the curved surface 5d and cannot be changed in the conveying direction, goes straight on the horizontal surface 5b, is conveyed to the large-sized coin discharge port 6, and drops into the large-sized coin discharge port 6. Large coin outlet 6
It is accommodated in a large-diameter coin accommodating portion that communicates with.

As described above, the coins supplied to the disc 1 are sorted into three types: set coins, large coins and small coins. As shown in FIG. 3, the set coins are sent to the coin wrapping device to be wrapped. For large-diameter coins and small-diameter coins, after the sorting of all set coins supplied to the disc 1 is completed, the coin conveyor
It is supplied to disk 1 again by 10.

After that, the same processing is repeated, and coins are packed in the order of the denomination with the largest number.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the number of coins is determined according to the number of coins classified according to the number of coins existing in the coin transport path 2 between the coin denomination determining means B and the detecting means E (the end side of the coin transport path 2). Sort and package in descending order of denomination. Therefore, the coin denomination discriminating means B is provided in the most upstream part of the coin conveying path 2 and the detecting means E is provided immediately upstream of the large-diameter coin removing means C, and the coins existing on the coin conveying path between both means are provided. By increasing the number of denominations, it is possible to more accurately determine the denomination having a large number of denominations.

According to the present embodiment, when the leading coin is transported to the end point side of the coin transport path 2, the counting result of the denomination from the leading coin to the subsequent coin finally discriminated by the coin denomination discriminating means B is obtained. According to the above, the sorting can be automatically started from the coin of the most denomination. Therefore, the operator does not need to predict the denomination with the largest number of coins and set the interval between the fixed rail 4a and the movable rail 4b, and the coins can be efficiently sorted.

Moreover, since a mechanism for automatically returning small-sized coins and large-sized coins to the coin supply unit is provided, it is necessary to return coins of other denominations to the coin supply unit A again after selecting coins of a desired denomination. It is possible to significantly improve the sorting efficiency of several kinds of coins. That is, in a coin wrapping machine incorporating such a coin sorting device, it is possible to wrap all the coins by simply supplying the coins to the coin supply unit A, and the efficiency of the wrapping work of the coins is greatly improved. It will be possible.

The present invention is not limited to the above examples, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the invention described in the claims, and these are also included in the scope of the present invention. Needless to say.

For example, in the above embodiment, coin denomination discriminating means B
The sorting is started from the coin of the denomination having the largest number of coins, but the sorting does not necessarily have to be started from the coin of the denomination having the largest number of coins, and can be arbitrarily set.

〔The invention's effect〕

According to the present invention, the operator does not need to set the denomination of coins to be sorted before sorting the coins, and the coins with the largest number of coins can be sorted automatically and sequentially. become.

The coins are continuously sent out one by one to the transport path, the denomination of coins transported on the coin transport path is determined, and the number of coins for each denomination is counted, and after the start of the coin supply by the coin supply unit,
When a predetermined time has elapsed, the sending of coins from the coin supply unit and the transport of coins are stopped, and the coins sent out on the coin transport path are sent back to the coin supply unit, and the coins from the coin supply unit. Based on the counting result of coins for each denomination, the coins with the largest number of denominations are determined to be the coins to be sorted and the width of the coin transport path According to the outer diameter of the coins to be sorted, the coins are sent again to the coin transport path and sorted, and the coins are sorted. 5. A coin feeding section having a rotatable disc, capable of continuously feeding coins one by one by a centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the disc, and a coin conveying path extending on a tangent line of the disc. A fixed rail and a movable rail, wherein the movable rail is moved in parallel in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the fixed rail so that the distance between the fixed rail and the movable rail can be adjusted; A coin transport belt which is provided above the path and which transports coins by sandwiching a coin between the coin transport path and a top surface of the coin transport path, and a coin which is disposed along the coin transport path and is transported by the coin transport belt. A coin denomination discriminating means for discriminating the denomination of the coin and outputting a denomination discriminating signal, and a coin having a larger outer diameter than the coin to be sorted, which is connected to the coin conveying path on the downstream side of the coin denomination discriminating means. Eliminating large-diameter coins Means, and a coin sorting device provided with a small-diameter coin removing means that is connected to a coin transport path on the downstream side of the coin denomination determining means and removes a coin having an outer diameter smaller than that of the coin to be sorted, Receiving the signal output from the discriminating means, counting the number of all coins, and when the number of counted coins reaches a predetermined number, outputting the stop signal for stopping the disc and the coin transport belt. The number of coins for each denomination, which receives the signal outputted from the counting means and the signal outputted from the number counting means, and which receives the signal outputted from the belt reversing means for reversing the coin conveying belt and the coin denomination judging means. Based on the counting result of the number of coins of all denominations until the stop signal is output from the number counting means, the coin of the most denomination is determined as the coin to be selected, and the fixed Leh A first signal for driving the movable rail so that the distance between the movable rail and the movable rail becomes equal to the outer diameter of the coin to be selected, and a second signal for rotating the disk following the first signal. A coin sorter having a denomination automatic setting means for 6. A coin is supplied to a coin supply unit, the width of a coin conveying path communicating with the coin supply unit is adjusted to the outer diameter of the coin having the maximum diameter, and the coin supplied to the coin supply unit is Coins sent out one by one to the coin carrying path, performing denomination discrimination of coins carried on the coin carrying path and counting all the coins, and then sending out the coins after the coin supply section starts supplying the coins. When the number of coins reaches a predetermined number, while stopping the delivery of coins from the coin supply unit and the transport of coins, the coins sent out on the coin transport path are sent back to the coin supply unit, and from the coin supply unit. Based on the counting results of coins for each denomination until the sending of coins and the stop of coin transport are determined, the coin of the most denomination is determined as the coin to be selected, and the width of the coin transport path is selected. Outer diameter of coins to be Combined, turned out the coins again coin conveying passage, a coin sorting method characterized by sorting.
