Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a sorting passage width adjusting device in a coin handling machine.

In other words, the coin receiving guides on both sides of this type of coin sorting passageway are changed so that the width of the sorting passageway can be selected according to each type of coin, so that the coins sent out from the sorting passageway are different from the conventional one. The coins can be ejected and dropped in an accurate and orderly manner without changing the coins even if adjustments are made, without causing them to be thrown diagonally into the stacking tube, and the coins can be adapted to each type even if the width of the sorting passage changes. The belt can convey the coins reliably and well, and the sorting passage that is suitable for various types of coins, including foreign polygonal coins, can be set up by adjustment, allowing for accurate sorting of various coins. It is provided so that it can be carried out and carried out suitably.

Next, the embodiment shown in the drawings will be described.

FIG. 1 shows a side view of the main parts of the coin processing machine, in which coins 1 fed onto a rotating disk 2 are passed through a sorting passage 11 through a gap below a sorting ring 3 due to the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the rotating disk 2. Below an endless belt 6 for conveying coins, which is installed so as to be delivered to the inlet 4 and wrapped around a take-in pulley 5 above the inlet 4 and a delivery pulley (not shown) at the rear. A sorting passage 11 having a sorting hole 7 extending downward is extended, and a counting section 10 at the rear of the sorting passage 11 can count coins 1 held by a belt 6 by engaging them with counting teeth (not shown). It is constructed in the same way as the conventional structure by installing a collecting cylinder (not shown) at the rear lower part.
The belt 6 is installed so that it is located above the width center of the sorting passage 11, and the stacking cylinder is located on the extended side of the center.

In order to set the width of the sorting passage 11, rotating blocks 12 and 13 are provided in parallel on both sides of the sorting passage 11.
is installed, but both rotating blocks 12 and 13 are connected to shaft 1.
2', 13', and six flat plate guides A, A', B, B', C, C', D are arranged symmetrically around both rotating blocks 12, 13. ，
D', E, E', F, F' are installed in a hexagonal windmill shape, and at the tip of each guide in both rotating blocks 12, 13, sorting shelves 8, 9 on which both sides of coins 1 are placed are arranged in a stepped manner. and corresponding guides A, A', B, B', C, C', D, D', of both rotating blocks 12, 13.
When E, E', F, and F' are arranged horizontally on both sides of the sorting passage 11, they are arranged so that the intervals between them, that is, the width of the sorting passage are different.

In addition, both gears 15 and 16 are interposed and meshed with gears 14 and 17 on both shafts 12' and 13', so that both rotating blocks 12 and 13 are transmission-connected so that they can rotate at equal angles in opposite directions. The shaft 18 of the gear 16 is directly connected to the drive motor 19, and the shaft 18 is equipped with micro switches 20, 2 that regulate rotation or stop operation.
The cams 23, 24, 25 that control the cams 1, 22 are installed, and the cams 2
Either 3, 24 or 25 is micro switch 2
0, 21, and 22 to stop the drive motor 19, and a desired guide can correspondingly stop both rotating blocks 12, 13.

A denomination setting handle is directly or indirectly connected to any of the gears 14, 15, 16, 17, and the handle is manually operated to rotate both rotary blocks 12, 13 at equal angles to set the desired sorting passage. It can also be configured so that the width can be selectively set.

By rotating both rotating blocks 12 and 13 at equal angles, both guides A and 13 are rotated as shown in FIG.
By matching A', the sorting passage 11 can be set to a desired width, and the coins 1 introduced from the inlet 4 and conveyed by the belt 6 are placed on the sorting shelves 9 of the guides A and A' on both sides. , 8, the different diameter coins are transferred to the sorting shelves 9, 8.
Coin 1 that came off the coin, fell into the sorting hole 7, and was sorted.
are counted as they pass through the counting section 10, and are directly dropped into a collecting tube for processing.

Furthermore, if the coins to be processed change, by rotating both rotary blocks 12 and 13 at equal angles so that the guides B and B' correspond to both sides of the sorting passage 11, the desired sorting width can be changed and set. The width of the sorting passage can be set in 6 ways by adjustment.

In this way, even if the width of the sorting passage 11 is adjusted and changed, the belt 6 is located at the center of the width of the sorting passage 11, and the stacking cylinder is also located at an extension of the width center.
Coin feeding by the belt 6 does not always change correctly, and even if the type of coins 1 changes, the coins can be sent in and out without changing the running direction of the coins.

In addition, when processing foreign coins such as polygonal coins such as regular dodecagons, the width of the sorting shelves 8 and 9 of the corresponding guides in both rotating blocks 12 and 13 should be adjusted to the maximum diameter of the polygonal coin. By widening the guides so that the coins can ride on them, it is possible to form a sorting passageway in which the predetermined coins do not fall, and it is also possible to form a sorting shelf that is adapted to each of the plurality of guides so as to have an adapted configuration.

In this way, the present invention has a pair of rotating blocks that can be rotated at equal angles on both sides of the sorting path through which coins are conveyed by belt feeding.
Both rotary blocks are equipped with a plurality of identical guides, each having a sorting shelf on which both sides of coins can sit when placed in correspondence with each other across the sorting passage, so that the sorting width between them is sequentially different. Since the collecting cylinder is installed in the central extension direction, by rotating both rotary blocks at equal angles, the desired guides can be placed on both sides of the sorting passage, and the width of the sorting passage can be easily adjusted. In order to move the guides on both sides, the collecting cylinder can be installed in the extending direction of the width center of the sorting passage, and even if the coins to be processed are changed, they can be accurately thrown into the collecting cylinder without any change. Even if the width of the sorting path changes, the state of coin conveyance by the belt does not change and the coins can be conveyed reliably and well, and it is also possible to process various coins, including foreign polygonal coins such as regular dodecagonal wreath-shaped coins. Therefore, the width of the sorting shelf of each guide can be varied and adapted to the configuration, and the present invention has the advantage that various coins can be sorted with high accuracy and can be carried out suitably.
