Description

Detailed Description of the Invention 3. Detailed Description of the Invention a. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a conveying device for a coin processing machine, and in particular, a novel method for pre-sorting thickness units in a one-turn conveying section. Regarding improvements.

b. Prior Art Conventionally, various devices have been proposed and adopted as conveying devices for this type of coin processing machine.

As shown in Figure 4, the representative ones are:
For example, the technique disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 60-68492 can be mentioned.

That is, in FIG. 4, the first rotary disk 2 and the peripheral wall 1a
The outlet section 3 of the hopper 1 has a.

The second rotary disk 4 and the bending conveyance section 5 having the peripheral wall 5a are arranged in a joined state. A conveyance passage 8 having a coin sorting hole 8a for conveying the coins 7 sent out from the meandering conveyance part 5 is disposed at the exit part 6 of the meandering conveyance part 5. A pair of conveyor belts 9 for conveying coins 7 is provided.

The conveying device of a conventional coin processing machine is configured as described above, and its operation will be explained below.

The mixed coins 7 of a plurality of denominations stored in the hopper 1 are continuously delivered in the direction of the arrow by the rotation of the one-turn disc 2, and sent into the bending conveyance part 5 through the outlet part 3.

The coins 7 sent into this bending conveyance section 5 are as follows.

A plurality of coin sorting holes 8 are fed along the inside of one circumferential wall 5a as shown by arrows, and are provided in a conveyance path 8 from an outlet section 6.
Coins 7 having a required diameter matching the coin sorting hole 8a fall and are sorted and stored.

C8 Problems to be Solved by the Invention The conventional conveying device of a coin processing machine is configured as described above.
Therefore, regardless of the denomination, the coins conveyed from the bending conveyance section 5 pass through the same conveyance path 8 and are sorted by each coin sorting hole 8a in order from small diameter to large diameter.

Therefore, in the case of mixed coins, from 1 yen to 5 (10 yen),
Since six types of coins are transported in the same transport path 8, for example, 100 yen and 5 yen.

The diameter difference is 0.6mm1. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to sort coins from each other based only on this slight difference in diameter.

In addition, if the coin itself has been used for a long time, the diameter and thickness of the coin often change due to wear etc. Therefore, if there is only a slight difference in diameter like this, the diameter and thickness of the coin may change. The diameter may approach the sorting boundary value of 5 yen coins and the coins may be mixed in, or due to subtle changes in the thickness of coins during transportation, 100 yen coins may be
Yen coins would get mixed into the coin sorting hole for 5 yen coins, causing erroneous counting due to erroneous sorting.

Furthermore, the thickness of each coin is 1 yen.

Both 5 yen and 10 yen are 1.5 mm, and 50 yen 1
Since both the 00 yen and the son yen are 1.7 to 1.8 mm, in the case of sorting based only on thickness.

Similarly, this was a cause of erroneous counting.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and also separates each coin into two types depending on its thickness, performs two systems of coin sorting, and provides a conveyance system that can process coins without miscounting. The purpose is to obtain equipment.

d0 Means for Solving Problems The conveyance device for a coin processing machine according to the present invention includes a coin bending conveyance section disposed between a hopper section and a conveyance path, and a coin bending conveyance section formed in the coin bending conveyance section. The configuration includes a separation section.

00 operation In the conveying device of the coin processing machine according to the present invention, among the mixed coins sent out from the hopper.

The thick 50 yen, 100 yen, and 500 yen coins are guided to the guide wall of the coin separation section, and the thickness of the coins is 11. After passing through the notch guide section of the
They are separately conveyed to two different conveyance paths within the conveyance path.

Therefore, coins having approximately the same thickness are transported separately in each transport path, making coin sorting extremely easy.

f. Embodiment A preferred embodiment of the conveying device for a coin processing machine according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to one drawing.

Note that the same or equivalent parts as in the conventional example will be described using the same reference numerals.
