Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To decrease the number of parts to suppress increase of the torque of a coin catch disk, to prevent the jam of coins even in a discharge mode of thrown-out coins by defining the disk surface side of a coin as the coin discharge direction and pushing up the coins of the downstream side by the coins of the upstream side with the coin discharge direction defined as a vertical direction, to easily prevent the coin catch miss, and then to prevent increase of the torque due to increase of the rotational frequency of the coin catch disk. SOLUTION: The surface 33 of a coin throw-out disk 3 set at the side of a receiving tray 4 is set almost orthogonal to a horizontal plane, and the base side 21 of the disk 3 is also set in the same way as the side 33. The part of the surface of every coin catch hole 32 that is set opposite to the revolving direction of the disk 3 forms a prescribed acute angle against the surface 33. The shape and area of every hole 32 is almost fixed in its diameter direction at each position in the thickness direction of the disk 3. A coin guide path 7 is extended to an upper vertical pint from a coin throw-out port 5. The moving direction of a coin C is bent toward the surface side of the disk 3 at a bent part 7a of the path 7.

The coin-discharging disk 3 is rotated by driving the motor 6. By this rotation, the coin capturing hole 32 moves along the coin guide portion 41 and captures the coin. As the coin capturing hole 32 moves from the lowermost reaching point (station ST1) to the uppermost reaching point (station ST3), the position of the hole surface supporting the captured coins changes. That is, at the lowest reaching point (station ST1), the hole surface portion 32a forming an acute angle with one surface 33 of the coin dispensing disc 3 is located on the left side in FIG. 4 (A), but the highest reaching point. Since it moves vertically downward as it moves to the (station ST3) side, the inclination of the hole surface that supports the captured coins also decreases from the surface 33 side to the surface 31 side, and the inclination angle gradually increases. Be steep. Due to the steep inclination angle, the captured coin slides along the inclination of the hole surface portion 32a (coin circumferential surface supporting side) toward the base surface 21 side and reaches the uppermost position from the lowest reaching point (station ST1). One side of the captured coin follows the base surface 21 until it reaches the coin ejection position (station ST2) which is an intermediate position up to the point (station ST3). And coin throwing disk 3

According to the above coin dispensing device 1, since the surface 33 of the tray 4 of the coin dispensing disk 3 is substantially orthogonal to the horizontal plane, most of the load of the coin c in the tray 4 is in the tray 4. Since it is supported by the inner surface, it is possible to reduce the load on the coin dispensing disc 3 as compared with the case where the plate surface direction of the coin dispensing disc 3 is made horizontal or at an acute angle with the horizontal plane as in the past. There is no need to provide a plate. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the number of parts and suppress an increase in the torque of the coin ejection disc 3.

Further, according to the coin dispensing device 1, since the base surface 21 is substantially orthogonal to the horizontal plane, the one side of the captured coin is carried on the base surface 21 and carried to the coin dispensing port 5, It is possible to eject the coin c with the plate surface direction as the vertical direction. Therefore, even if the coin derivation path 7 uses the plate surface direction of the coin c as the coin derivation direction, and this derivation direction is the vertical direction and the coins on the upstream side are pushed up and deducted on the coin c on the downstream side. Since it is not necessary to bend the coin lead-out path in the thickness direction of the coin c as in the conventional case, the coin c during lead-out is not clogged.

According to the coin dispensing device 1, since the hole surface portion 32a having an acute angle is located at the lower support position of the captured coin,
The captured coin moves to the base surface 21 side along the inclination of the hole surface portion 32a, and one surface of the captured coin follows the base surface 21. Therefore, according to the coin dispensing device 1, even if the base surface 21 is arranged so as to be orthogonal to the horizontal plane, the captured coin does not drop off from the base surface 21 and there is no trouble in capturing the coin.

A predetermined actuator or a predetermined member driven by this actuator may be used so that one side of the captured coin is along the base surface 21. For example, since the coin position adjusting means is realized by the shape of the coin capturing hole 32, the number of parts is not unnecessarily increased. Therefore, according to the coin dispensing device 1, it is possible to prevent the coin c from being obstructed by a simple means.

The shape of the hole surface of the coin capturing hole 32 is, for example,
Hole surface portion 32b (portion on the rotating direction side of the coin dispensing disc 3)
May be formed substantially perpendicular to both surfaces 31, 33 of the coin dispensing disc 3, and the diameter of the coin capturing hole 32 may be larger on the base surface 21 side and smaller on the opposite side. However, if the shape and the area of the coin capturing hole 32 in the radial direction are substantially constant at each position in the thickness direction of the coin ejecting disc 3, the coin ejecting discs 3 having the same size and the same size and It is possible to increase the number of formed coin capturing holes 32. That is, FIG.
If the coin capturing holes 32 having the shape as shown in FIG. 2 are arranged as shown in FIG. 2, the adjacent coin capturing holes 32 interfere with each other, and the number of the coin capturing holes 32 to be formed must be reduced.
Reducing the number of coin catching holes 32 reduces the number of coin catches per unit time even if the number of rotations of the coin ejection disc 3 is the same. Therefore, according to the coin dispensing device 1, even if the hole surface portion 32a is inclined, it is possible to prevent the increase in the rotational body torque due to the increase in the rotation speed of the coin dispensing disc 3.
