Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a coin deposit processing system, and particularly to various coin processing devices such as teller cash processing devices.

The present invention relates to a coin deposit processing method suitable for a coin processing device that can input a large number of coins at once into a coin slot, regardless of their type.

[Background of the invention]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, coin processing devices have been used in banks and the like to sort and count a large number of coins of various types. This coin processing device adopts a method that deposits a large number of coins at once, regardless of their type. This was prevented by making the mouth large. However, in such slide-in type coin processing devices, in response to the demand for miniaturization of the device, the input port has been downsized, and coins and foreign objects that have been inserted due to operator error can be easily retrieved. It is necessary to temporarily store coins. For this reason, a shutter that opens and closes by pressing the operation button is installed between the input slot and the coin conveying belt provided below.
There is a problem in that when coins are dropped from the shutter onto the coin conveying belt, the coins get caught in the slot and remain.

Note that related devices of this type include, for example,
JP-A-59-20386 and the like can be mentioned.

[Purpose of the invention]

An object of the present invention is to solve such conventional problems and provide a coin deposit processing method that can prevent coins from remaining in a coin processing device by releasing the coins from being caught in the coin slot when depositing coins. It's about doing.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the coin deposit processing system of the present invention includes a coin input port, a shutter for temporarily storing the coins inserted into the input port, and a shutter for transporting the coins provided below the shutter. Coin transport path.

and a drive means for opening and closing the shutter in response to a deposit signal from a host device, and the drive means opens the shutter to transport the coins inserted onto the shutter in the closed state. A coin deposit processing system in which the coin is dropped on the road is characterized in that the shutter driven by the drive means is opened and closed multiple times in succession in response to the coin deposit signal.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

A shutter for temporarily holding deposited coins; 5 is a deposited coin inserted from the coin slots 2 and 3; 6 is a shutter 4;
A coin conveying belt is provided under the coin conveying belt for conveying deposited coins 5.

7 is a motor for moving the coin conveying belt 6 left and right, 8
, 9 is a gear for transmitting the driving force of the motor 7 to the coin conveying belt 6, IQ is a coin mechanism section for distinguishing, storing, and dispensing the deposited coins 5, and 11.12 is a hardening mechanism section 10 for discrimination, etc. a coin withdrawal port for withdrawing the deposited coins 5;
13 is a switching gate for switching and transporting deposited coins 5;
14 is a deposit processing button for opening and closing the shutter 4.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the state before and after the deposited coin 5 is dropped. FIG. 2(a) shows the state before the deposited coin 5 is dropped, and FIG. 2(b) shows the state before the deposited coin 5 is dropped. This shows the state after being dropped.

When the operator presses the deposit processing button 14 shown in FIG. 1, the shutter 4 opens, and the deposited coin 5 (see FIG. 2(a)) inserted from the coin slot 2.3 onto the shutter 4 becomes a coin. It is dropped onto the conveyor belt 6 (see FIG. 2(b)).

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the opening/closing driving operation of the shutter 4 in FIG. 1. FIG. 3(a) is a diagram of the opening/closing mechanism of the shutter 4, and FIG. It is a sectional view of A. Further, FIG. 4 shows a state in which a deposited coin 5 is caught when the deposited coin 5 is dropped, resulting in a coin bridge.

In Figures 3(a) and (b) and Figure 4, the angle is 4.5°6.

1 is a deposited coin, 6 is a coin conveying belt, and 14 is a deposit processing button. 15 is a control unit for controlling the entire coin processing device (details are omitted here); 16 is an electromagnet excited by control of the control unit 15; and 17 is a shutter 4.
Button lever for opening, 18 is Button lever 1
7 is a shaft fixed to the shaft; 19 is a coin holder link receiving deposited coins 5 under the shutter 4; 20 is a shaft shaft fixed to the coin holder link 19; 21 is a bearing; 22 is one end of the shutter 4. shaft for support, 2
3 is a recovery spring that restores the shutter 4 to its original position; 24 is a recovery spring that restores the bushing lever 17 to its original position; and 25 is a coin slot 2 and 3 in which deposited coins 5 are not dropped.

This is a coin bridge caused by getting caught.

Hereinafter, the deposit processing operation of the coin deposit processing section 1, specifically the coin dropping operation, will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

A large number of coins 5 deposited into coin slots 2 and 3 at once
When the deposit processing button 14 on the operation panel is pressed, the electromagnet 16 is excited by the control signal from the control unit 15, the shutter 4 is opened, and the coin falls onto the coin conveying belt 6 (see Figs. 2(a) and 2(b)). ), the shutter 4 opens and closes when the electromagnet 16 is energized, the bushing lever 17 rotates around the shaft axis 18, presses the coin holder link 19, and rotates around the shaft axis 20. When the shaft shaft 20 is rotated, the coin support link 19 rotates and removes the bearing 21 that supports the shutter 4 so that it does not rotate downward. and rotates downward around the shaft 22 due to its own weight,
When the electromagnet 16 that drops the deposited coin 5 on the shutter 4 onto the coin conveying belt 6 is de-energized, the coin sink link 19 rotates around the shaft axis 20 by the recovery spring 23 to push up the shutter 4 and close it. state.

Further, the bush lever 1-7 is restored by the restoration spring 24 of the electromagnet 16. When depositing coins, a coin bridge 25 may occur between the shutter 4 and the side wall and remain in the coin slot 2 or 3, as shown in FIG. 4, depending on the type of coin and the state of the coin inserted. To release the coin bridge 25, the shutter 4 is opened and closed several times, and the bridge is released by vibration. An example of the opening/closing operation timing of the shutter 4 is shown in FIG.

The first opening operation of the shutter 4 causes the deposited coin 5 on the shutter 4 to fall onto the coin conveying belt 6, and the second opening/closing operation applies vibration to the bridged coins and causes them to fall onto the coin conveying belt 6. .

In this manner, by repeating the above-mentioned opening and closing operation of the shirt shirt several times, it is possible to prevent coin bridging from occurring at the coin slot portion 2 or 3 and deposited coins 5 from remaining.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to one aspect of the present invention, in a coin processing device, it is possible to release coins from being caught in the coin slot when depositing coins, and it is possible to prevent deposited coins from remaining.
