Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a cash collection device for a vending machine, and is particularly applicable to coin handling units whose cash collection outlets are located at the back of the coin processing unit near the mounting wall. The gold processing can be carried out accurately and can be carried out at low cost without causing any disadvantages in manufacturing.

As is well known, in vending machines for soft drinks, milk, etc., a coin processing unit with a built-in selector, etc. is fixed inside the front door via a mounting wall on the back of the unit, and a coin processing unit is installed at the bottom of the unit. It is equipped with the following.

In this case, the exit for collecting money has to be positioned very close to the mounting wall due to the structural reasons before the exit, and therefore the entrance on the collecting box side has to be in a corresponding relationship so that the exit and the entrance are in a corresponding relationship. As a result, it is good if the alignment of both sides goes well during assembly, but even if there is a slight deviation due to manufacturing reasons, you will not be aware of it and will fix it as is, so when it is actually operated, it will fit well. In many cases, gold was not processed.

As a countermeasure for this, a method has been taken in which a chute made of a separate piece is prepared and the chute is inserted into a hole penetrating the mounting wall and fixed, but according to this method, the chute is made of a separate piece. Since it is an insertion type, it is unreasonable in terms of cost, and furthermore, it is difficult to work when inserting and fixing, so there was still another problem.

In addition, as described in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 51-145990, a part of the mounting wall is formed with a cut-out piece that protrudes downward from the mounting wall, and the upper part of this cut-out piece corresponds to the outlet of the coin processing unit. There is one in which the cut-and-raised piece is formed into a chute, with the lower end of the cut-and-raised piece facing the money receiving entrance.

However, in the case where the cut and raised pieces are formed into a chute, the cut and raised pieces must be formed on the mounting wall, which increases the cost. Furthermore, the coin handling unit and the cash collecting device must be positioned relative to the cut-and-raised piece, making assembly difficult.

This invention was devised to solve the above problem, and its feature is that a chute that connects the cash collection outlet and the entrance is integrally provided on the cash collection cover side, and The tip of the chute is clamped and fixed between the mounting wall and the lower end of the processing unit.

This invention will be explained below using an illustrated example.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a coin processing unit, which is fixed to the front surface of the mounting wall 3 of the front door 2, and its interior includes a selector for receiving and sorting coins from the slot 4, a counting mechanism, etc. do. 5 is a front wall of the door, 6 is a back wall, and a heat insulating portion 7 is formed between the back wall 6 and the mounting wall 3.

On the other hand, the bottom of the coin handling unit 1 has an outlet for collecting money at point A in the figure, and its position is on the right side when viewed from the front, and near the mounting wall 3 when viewed from the side as shown in Figure 2. It is in.

On the other hand, a money collection box 8 is provided at a distance slightly below the unit 1, and the box that receives the money collection box 8 in a detachable manner is a money collection cover body 9 made of a C-shaped frame with a lip.

This cover body 9 has a folded piece 10 protruding from its back and is fixed to the mounting wall 3 with screws through this, and the position thereof is eccentric to the right as shown in the first figure. The collection inlet B for the outlet A is opened slightly forward of the point directly below the outlet A, and forms an integral chute 9a that stands up in a dogleg shape just at the rear of the inlet B. When fixing the bent end to the chute 9a, attach it to the mounting wall 3 and unit 1.
The cover body 9 is inserted in between and fixed with the screws in a pinched manner.

Since the chute 9a is constructed by inserting the integrally projecting part from the cover body 9 between the unit 1 and the mounting wall 3, the positional relationship between the unit 1 and the cover body 9 can be determined. Therefore, since the relationship between the collection outlet A and the entrance B is always constant and a continuous path, collection processing can be carried out accurately, and since the chute 9a plays the role of supporting the collection weight, the amount of collection is full. Even so, payment processing becomes more accurate.

On the other hand, integrally forming the chute 9a has the practical advantage of simplifying manufacturing and making it easier to attach than when using a separate chute.

This invention is as described above, and therefore, in the case where the coin processing unit's collection outlet is located at the back of the unit near the mounting wall, the collection process can be performed very accurately, and there are no manufacturing disadvantages. It can be implemented at low cost without causing any problems.
