出す硬貨払出装置とを備えている。(B) Conventional technology Conventionally, a coin mechanism as a coin processing device consists of an input hopper that accepts coins from an input slot provided on the front of the vending machine body, and a sorting unit that determines whether coins from the input hopper are appropriate. , a gate member that allows the coins to be introduced into the coin storage section of each type based on the discrimination result of the sorting section or to a return path that communicates with a return port provided on the front side of the vending machine body, and a gate member that dispenses change from the coins in the coin storage section. It is equipped with a coin dispensing device that dispenses coins based on instructions.

投入を拒絶して商品の販売が少なくなる不都合がある。However, since the number of coins that can be stored in the coin storage section of such a coin mechanism is relatively small, depending on the type of coin, change often runs out. That is, for example, 10 yen coins, which are frequently dispensed as change, often run out of change, and customers refuse to insert coins that require 10 yen change, resulting in a problem in which sales of products decrease.

いる。Therefore, for this purpose, a coin supply device is attached to the side of the coin mechanism, which consists of a coin storage section that stores a large amount of coins that are frequently dispensed as change, and a delivery section that dispenses the coins in this coin storage section. Generally, when the number of change coins in the coin storage section on the coin mechanism side falls below a predetermined number, change coins are dispensed from a coin supply device and refilled into the coin storage section on the coin mechanism side.

た。p→ Problem to be Solved by the Invention In the prior art with this configuration, the coins dispensed from the coin replenishing device are replenished into the coin storage section of the same type on the coin mechanism side. A coin supply passage is required. Further, the coins stored in the coin storage section of the coin supply device and the coins stored in the coin storage section on the coin mechanism side are both stacked and stored,
The posture of the stacked coins must be controlled so that they can be transferred in the coin supply passage, and when they reach the coin storage section on the coin mechanism side, they must be stored in a stack again. There was a drawback that coins could become jammed in the coin storage section on the mechanism side.

A section (151) is provided. This auxiliary coin sending device a3 stores coins that are frequently dispensed as change, and when the coins are out of change in the coin storage section (7) of the coin mechanism (1). In this state, when a change dispensing command or coin collection switch 01) is operated, the dispensing section +151 operates to dispense coins. The coins that have been set and dispensed from the delivery section a1 are introduced into the input hopper (5) via the input chute (4). That is, the input chute (4) has an input path (4N) that guides coins input from the input port (3) to the input hopper (51), and guides coins dispensed from the delivery section Q51 to the input hopper (5). Therefore, the coins dispensed from the dispensing section a5 of the auxiliary coin dispensing device 03 are sent to the input hopper (5) via the dispensing passage (4B) of the input chute (4). At this time, the gate member (8) is in an inactive state and closes the passage to the coin storage section (force), so the coins introduced into the input hopper (5) are not transferred to the sorting section (6). Return aisle (
II and is paid out to the return slot (9).
