Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a coin handling V/device that prevents exploitation by string-hanging coins, etc., and is configured to operate reliably even when coins are continuously inserted.

Although various coin handling devices have been developed in the past, most of them have been constructed as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

That is, when a coin inserted from the input slot 6 passes through the snubber 1 and falls down the coin rail 1 and is determined to be a genuine coin by the coin tester 5, the coin recognizer 2 disposed at the end of the coin rail 1 and sends a signal to the coin controller 3, and the coin controller 3
The system may be configured to operate the input coin to introduce the inserted coin into the coin storage passageway 4, and to accumulate the amount of specie coins and to enable acts such as selling goods based on signals from the coin tester 5 and the coin recognizer 2. ·Ta.

According to such a system, goods could be sold any number of times by reciprocating coins between the coin tester 5 and the coin recognizer 2 by stealing coins from a string.

Furthermore, when coins are continuously inserted, the coin controller 3 does not respond sufficiently to separate the consecutive coins, and the coin controller 3 is actuated by the first coin inserted, and the consecutive coins are There was a problem in that if the user was guided to the coin storage passage 4 without recognizing the coin, he or she would not be able to obtain the item for the coin that was inserted.

The present invention solves the various problems caused by simplifying the coin passage and reducing coin clogging by adding a simple coin insertion control mechanism to prevent fraudulent acts and prevent malfunctions. It provides a lost coin handling device.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be explained using the drawings of FIGS. 3 to 10.

Two snubbers 9, 9 are provided adjacent to the coin input port 8, and are configured to change the input coin trajectory.
A control plate 19 is provided between the two snubbers 9, which is moved in and out of the coin passage by a solenoid 18.

A coin rail 10 is provided continuously to the snubber 9 at the rear stage, and one of the substrates 20 and 25 forming a coin passage by the coin rail 10 has a coin detector 1L.
A coin tester 14 consisting of 12.13 is provided, and a coin recognition device 21.1 is provided at the end of the coin rail 10. A coin controller 15 is provided.

The coin controller 154 is configured to separate genuine coins from the genuine coin storage passage 26 and counterfeit coins from the return passage 16 according to the signal from the coin tester 14.

The coin handling device having such a configuration operates as follows.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the coins inserted through the coin slot 8 collide with the snubber 9, change the coin trajectory, and fall along the coin rail 10.

At this time, when the coin passes through a coin tester 14 consisting of coin detectors 11, 12, and 13 arranged along the coin rail 10, it is determined whether the coin is a genuine coin or a counterfeit coin, that is, whether it is an acceptable coin. Detect.

If a counterfeit coin or a coin that is not acceptable falls on the coin controller 15 and is guided to the return path 16, it falls in the direction of the arrow and is discharged to the return port 1γ.

When the inserted coin is an acceptable coin, when it reaches the coin tester 14, a signal is generated from the coin tester 14, and this signal causes the solenoid 18 arranged between the two snubbers 9 to be activated.
Activate.

A control board 19 is attached to the solenoid 18 as shown in FIG. 5, and is contained in one board 20. When an input coin passes through the coin tester 14, a signal from the coin tester 14 causes a control board 19 to be activated as shown in FIG. At the same time, the solenoid 18 places the coin passage, and at the same time, a signal corresponding to the coin inserted from the coin tester 14 is sent to the coin recognizer 21.

Now, when a coin passes through the coin recognizer 21, a signal is sent to the load and the product sales operation begins.

When the coin falls down the coin rail 10 and passes through the coin recognizer 21, it accumulates the amount of coins and the solenoid 18
The signal is cut off and preparations are made for the next coin insertion as shown in FIG.

Next, when the thread hanging coin 22 is inserted, the thread hanging coin 2
2 draws a trajectory similar to that of a coin without a string (・), but
When the coin passes through the coin tester 14, the control plate 19 presses the thread to make it impossible for the coin to fall, as shown in FIGS. 7-8, in order to send a signal to the solenoid 18.

The solenoid 18 is operated by a timer which starts counting in response to a signal from the coin tester 14, and the passage is opened again after a certain period of time as shown in FIG.

Further, the timer starts counting by a signal from the coin tester 14, and is reset by a signal from the coin recognizer 21, and the coins passing through the coin tester 14 are used for a certain period of time set by the timer. It is set to be longer than the time it takes for the coin to pass through the coin recognizer 21.

Therefore, when a string-hung coin 22 is inserted, the time required for the coin to reach the coin recognizer 21 from the coin tester 14 is very long compared to a coin that is not hung by a string.
The timer that is set to 7 when passing through will operate until the time is full, and in this case, the contents of the inserted coin determined by the coin tester 14 will not be stored and stored, and the operation of selling goods will be stopped. Therefore, acts of exploitation will be prevented.

Moreover, at this time, the coin controller 15 remains closed, and even if the control plate 19 is opened, the string-hanging coins 22 are not introduced into the coin storage passage 26 but are returned through the return passage 16.
The handling device prepares for the next coin insertion.

As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the next consecutively inserted coins are the second coin 23 while the first coin 23 is falling.
4 is placed on the control plate 19 of the solenoid 18 or is pressed against the board 25 by the control plate 19 to prevent it from falling continuously and to prevent erroneous reception.

In this way, the coin handling device of the present invention can be used with various coin devices,
In particular, an essential function for electronic coin sorting equipment is the prevention of exploitation by string-hanging coins.
It can completely prevent malfunctions caused by continuous injection, and is of extremely high practical value.
