Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention is a vending machine that automatically dispenses a desired product by inserting a coin. This invention relates to a coin pick for a vending machine that can also be used with issued coins.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional coin picks for vending machines,
For example, "Fuji Jiho" Volume 51 No. 5 (May 1973)
As shown on pages 266 to 273 of the 10th issue, the currently issued coins, namely 10 yen, 50 yen and
The structure is such that only 100 yen coins can be used. In other words, the coin sorter distinguishes between genuine and false coins, and the coins that are determined to be genuine are led to each passage according to their type and reach the coin sensor, where the coin sensor is activated and sends a signal to the calculation control unit to detect the coin. is led to the change tube. Recently, a new 500 yen coin has been issued, and if this coin can be used, it will be convenient for users as it will increase the number of types of coins that can be used, and it will also be convenient for operators to avoid high-value coins that were previously difficult to handle. This is advantageous because it can also cover products such as However, it is still 10 yen,
A coin meter that can handle all 50 yen, 100 yen, and 500 yen coins has not yet been developed.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

There would be no problem if the conventional coin picker for 10 yen, 50 yen, and 100 yen coins could also use 500 yen coins, but for that purpose, the coin sorter must have a 500 yen coin sorting function, and a 500 yen coin sensor and 500 yen coins. A storage section must be provided. However, vending machines inherently require a large number of devices to be housed within a narrow, limited space, and there is no room for adding new devices to the coin pick installation location.

In view of these points, the technical challenge of the present invention is to create a coin mark that allows the use of 500 yen coins, without requiring much modification of the coin marks currently in use. .

[Means for solving problems]

This technical problem involved creating an auxiliary coin mock for 500 yen coins, which has a 500 yen coin slot, a 500 yen coin sorter, and a pulse generator that detects 500 yen coins and emits pulses in the form of radio waves. An oscillation type proximity switch is attached to the main body of the coin pick for 50 yen and 100 yen coins as a 100 yen coin sensor, and the pulses emitted from the pulse generator are received by the oscillation type proximity switch. This problem can be solved by making the number of pulses per 500 yen coin emitted by the oscillation type proximity switch five times the number of pulses per 100 yen coin emitted by the oscillation type proximity switch.

The pulse generator of the auxiliary coin pick for 500 yen coins emits pulses in the form of radio waves that are synchronized with the detection coil of the oscillation type proximity switch of the 100 yen coin sensor, and moreover, each 500 yen coin generates the same pulse as five 100 yen coins. It is advantageous if only a corresponding number of them are emitted.

When the main body of the 10 yen, 50 yen, or 100 yen coin clip is out of change, the signal emitted from the pulse generator of the 500 yen coin auxiliary coin clip will not be applied to the oscillation type proximity switch of the 100 yen coin sensor. By configuring this, troubles caused by running out of change can be prevented.

[Effect]

In this invention, the main body of the coin pick for 10 yen, 50 yen, and 100 yen coins is exactly the same as the conventional one, and after the inserted coin is determined by a coin sorter,
The coins are led to the coin sensor through separate paths depending on their type, and the number of coins inserted is sent as a signal to the calculation control section. At this time, the 100 yen coin is detected by an oscillating proximity switch. When a 500 yen coin is inserted into the slot, a 500 yen coin sorter determines whether it is genuine or not, and the genuine coin is sent to a pulse generator, which generates a pulse. This pulse has five times the number of pulses that an oscillation type proximity switch for 100 yen coins emits per 100 yen coin. This pulse is received by an oscillating proximity switch for 100 yen coins, and this oscillating proximity switch operates as if 5 100 yen coins were inserted, calculating and controlling the signal equivalent to 5 100 yen coins. Send to the department.

〔Example〕 Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is the coin mech itself, 10 yen,
It is designed for use with 50 yen and 100 yen coins. The mechanism of this coin pick body is the same as the conventional one, and its details are omitted, but the coin 3 inserted into the coin slot 2 is judged to be genuine or false by the coin sorter inside the main body, and if it is a genuine coin. The coins pass through a coin sensor and are stored in each change tube or money box. 100
The coin sensor 4 for yen coins is composed of an oscillation type proximity switch, which magnetically detects a 100 yen coin and sends a signal to the control section. 5 is a change cylinder for 100 yen coins, 6 is a 100 yen change coin, 7 is a 100 yen coin change sensor, and 8 is a connector for connecting the coin mech body to the vending machine body.

Reference numeral 9 denotes an auxiliary coin mock for 500 yen coins, which is attached to the coin mesh main body 1 according to the present invention.
500 yen coin 1 inserted from 500 yen coin slot 10
1 is judged to be genuine or false by a 500 yen coin sorter 12, genuine coins are collected into a collection box via a collection chute 13, and counterfeit coins are refunded via a refund chute 14. When the sorter 13 determines whether the currency is genuine,
A pulse generator 15 emits a pulse in the form of a radio wave 16, which is equivalent to five 100 yen coins and is synchronized with the 100 yen coin sensor 4 in the coin mask body 1. This pulse is received by the coin sensor 4 for 100 yen coins, and therefore the coin sensor 4 operates as if five 100 yen coins were inserted and sends a signal to the control section.

In addition, when the coin pick body 1 is out of change for a 100 yen coin, the change out sensor 7 operates, and if a mechanism is provided that prevents the signal from the pulse generator 15 from being applied to the 100 yen coin sensor 4, it is possible to prevent the change from being out of change. It is possible to prevent troubles caused by this.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, a proximity switch is used as a 100 yen coin sensor, which is originally installed in the coin pick body, and a deposit signal is transmitted to the proximity switch by radio waves, treating 500 yen coins as five 100 yen coins. Since it is given in the shape, it is possible to use 500 yen coins by simply attaching the auxiliary coin meck for 500 yen coins without making any modifications to the coin matsu itself.Moreover, the auxiliary coin meck for 500 yen coins can be attached to the coin matsu itself. They do not need to be placed adjacent to each other, and can be placed at any position within the vending machine as long as it is within the reception range of the oscillation type proximity switch.
