Description

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a coin sorting apparatus, and more particularly to a coin sorting apparatus using elastic disks rotating under various heads.

(Prior Art) To the best of the knowledge of the applicant, no technical idea that is the same as or similar to the present invention has been disclosed in the past.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The purpose of the present invention is to press coins against an elastic disk in order to confirm the size of coins, sort them, and perform reliable control throughout the ejection operation. Any depressing member (depresso
r), plows, and other auxiliary devices, making it simple to manufacture and low in manufacturing cost.
Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a coin sorting device that does not require a large storage space.

Ancillary objects of the present invention are: - Sorting can be stopped quickly by applying a brake each time a preset number of coins of the same type are discharged from the device; and - Sorting is carried out in a mechanism by centrifugal force. After rapidly moving the coin to its outermost radial position, the coin can be pressed against the elastic disk, and the pressure can be maintained throughout the coin sizing and sorting and ejection operations, ■ Counter The purpose of coin sorting is to provide a coin sorting device that is small enough to be used on top and that is capable of sorting six or more types of coins.

Structure of the Invention (Means for Solving Problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned objects, the present invention provides a rotating disk having an elastic surface to which a plurality of coins of different sizes are supplied, and a device for rotating the rotating disk. A driving device is provided, and the rotary disk includes a central opening and a lower surface formed near the upper part of the rotary disk, and further includes a recess in the lower surface that extends outward from the central opening and allows coins to move freely. and when the coins move in the circumferential direction, receive the coins from the recess and move them radially inward so as to contact the outer portion of the outer periphery of the coin in the radial direction. Then, the outer peripheral edge of each coin is held at the same position in the radial direction, and W in the radial direction is held! A guide plate is provided for determining the position of the inner circumferential portion of each coin according to the diameter of each coin, and furthermore, the coins are arranged around the guide plate according to the position of the inner circumferential portion of the coin in the radial direction. The gist of sorting and discharging is that a discharging means is provided.

(Function) By employing the above-described means, the present invention allows various coins of different sizes inserted from the frontage of the guide plate to move radially inward when moving circumferentially within the recess. The outer portion of the outer circumference of the coin is held at the same radial position in the radial direction, and the position of the inner portion of the outer circumference in the radial direction is individually determined according to the dimensions of each coin. The coins are then sorted according to size by the ejecting means based on the position of the inner portion of the outer periphery, and ejected from between the guide plate and the surface of the rotating disk, which are rotated by the drive device.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS While the invention is susceptible to various modifications, specific embodiments thereof are shown in the drawings and will be described in detail below.

Referring now to FIG. 1, a hopper 10 receives various types of coins of different sizes, and the coins are transferred through a central opening in a housing 11 and an annular sorting head, i.e., a guide plate. 12. These fl! When Li passes through the central opening, the coin falls onto the rotating disk 13. This disc 13
is rotatably attached to a stamp shaft (not shown) and driven by an electric motor 14 via a drive belt 15.

The rotating disk 13 is made of a hard metal material, and includes an elastic pad 16 as an elastic surface bonded onto a disk body 17. Preferably, the surface of the elastic pad 16 is covered with a strong and less abrasive fabric bonded to it, and this fabric is preferably made of elastic rubber or polymeric material r1.

When the rotary disk 13 rotates, coins accumulated on its surface tend to slide outwardly on the surface of the elastic band 16 due to centrifugal force. As these coins move outward, the coins that are flat on the elastic pad 16 enter the gap between the surface of the elastic pad 16 and the guide plate 12. This is because the lower side of the inner periphery of the guide plate 12 is spaced above the elastic pad 16 by a distance slightly greater than the thickness of the thickest coin.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 2, the outwardly moving coin first passes through a plurality of annular arrays formed over most of its inner circumference, on the underside of the annular guide plate 12. Enter into the recess 20. FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the guide plate 12, showing a state in which the coins C1, C2, and C3 present thereon are located in the surrounding recesses 20, respectively. The outer walls 21 of these recesses 20 extend downward to the lowest surface 22 of the guide plate 12.

The lowest surface 22 of the guide plate 12 is separated by a slightly smaller distance depending on the thickness of the thinnest coin, for example 0.25 mm (C,01
inches) from the top surface of band 16. As a result, the coin comes into contact with the wall 21 of the recess 20 due to the rotational movement of the pad 16, as shown by the arrow, and the coin's free movement in the half-f direction ends.

A fan-shaped protuberance 23 is formed on the guide plate 12, and the protrusion 23 is displaced from the depression 20. As the coins approach the leading edge 24 of the ridge 23 in said depression 20, they pass through another depression 25 which constitutes a mere outward extension of the depression 20 and into the ridge 23. move outward around the In addition, in FIG. 2, coins C4, C5, C6, and C7 are examples of coins that continuously move through the recess 25 having a width sufficient to allow all types of coins to pass through. It is.

The recess 25 described above extends over the entire circumference of the outer wall of the raised portion 23, and at the downstream 126 of the raised portion 23, the recessed portion 20
and rejoin. This recess 25 is formed simply by extending the recess 20 , and therefore, the outer wall 27 of the recess 25 is also an extension of the outer wall 21 of the recess 20 . As a result, the outer edge of the coin moves on the peripheral wall 21 and approaches the recess 25. As shown in FIG. 4, walls 27 are preferably tapered to minimize contact between the coin and the walls of recess 25, thereby minimizing wear.

As the pad 16 rotates, the coins continue to move along the wall 27, and the outer portions of these coins are collected by a downwardly sloping collecting surface from the top surface of the recess 25 to the portion 22a of the lowest surface 22 of the guide plate 12. It contacts the ramp 28. (To clarify this point, the entire surface 22 in FIG. 2 is shaded). Second
In the figure, a coin 1c7 is an example of a coin that has just touched the ramp 28.

The lowest surface 22 of the guide plate 12 is spaced apart from the band 16 by a distance set to be smaller than the thickness of the thinnest coin, so that the ramp 28 allows the coins to pass through the rotating disk 13.
When moving forward to the ramp 28 due to the force of the elastic pad 16
Press the outer edge of the coin in contact with ramp 28 downwards. Accordingly, as shown in FIG.
When it continues to rotate along the lower side of the guide plate 12 as the guide plate 12 rotates, it is held at a position spaced a certain distance from the center in the radial direction.

Even if only a small part of the surface of the coin
Even if the coins are gripped between the surface portion 22a of the coin and the elastic pad 16, the compressive gripping force is sufficient to hold the coins at the fixed distance in the radial direction described above. Even if coins are gripped along segments only 1 mm wide, these coins are
Even when rotated along the underside of the guide plate 12 as the coins rotate, the coins are well retained against radial movement.

As described above, as the coins continue to rotate along the surface portion 22a of the guide plate 12, they are placed in the dimension confirmation recess (ref).
erence recess> 30 to invade.

The surface of the same dimension confirmation recess 30 is ■ smaller than the thickness of the thinnest coin, but ■ is located away from the top of the pad 16 by a distance slightly larger than the distance between the lowest surface 22 and the top of the pad 16 . For example, when surface 22 is located 0.2511111 (C°01 inches) from the surface of pad 16, the surface of recess 30 is 0.2511111 (C°01 inches) away from the surface of pad 16.
．． located 125 cm (C, 05 inches) apart (
The thickness of a US dime is approximately 0.13 co+ (
C,053 inches). As a result, as the coin rotates through the dimension checking recess 30, it is continuously gripped between the guide plate 12 and the elastic pad 16. The purpose of the sizing recess 30 is to form an outer wall 31 against which the outer edge of the coin will contact and position it as it passes through the recess 30.

The outer wall 31 upstream of the dimension confirmation recess 3o into which the coin first enters is located radially spaced apart from the center of the guide plate 12 by the same distance as the outer edge of the ramp 28 (this is also the same distance as the outer edge of the slope 28). It is also the outermost part of the outer wall 27 of
. Thereby, the radial position of the coins remains unchanged when they first enter the dimension verification recess 30. When the coin moves in the circumferential direction through the dimension confirmation recess 30, the outer wall 3
1 gradually presses the outer edge of the coin inwardly by its cam action and re-references the outer edge of the coin to a different radial position slightly closer to the center of the guide disk 16.
-referencing), that is, the dimensions are checked again. This cam action is applied to coins C8, C9, and C in Figure 2.
10, as indicated by the gradual change in the radial position of the outer edge of C1l.

The reason for the existence of the size verification recess 30 is that a coin may be collected by the collection ramp 28 even when the coin does not actually come into contact with the outer wall 27 of the recess 25. That is, the outer edge of the coin, when the coin contacts ramp 28,
The coin may be located at a slight distance from the outer wall 27, and the coin may be located between the lowest surface 22 of the guide plate 12 and the elastic pad 16.
When gripped at
verlap). Then, due to the above-mentioned outer wall 31,
The outer periphery of all the coins as they move inward, when the coins are first collected by the ramp 28;
Ensures that the outer periphery of the coin is positioned in a common radial direction regardless of where it is located.

From the downstream end of the dimension confirmation recess 30 described above, a gentle slope 32 slopes downward from the top of the dimension confirmation recess 30 to the portion 22b of the lowermost surface 22 of the guide plate 12. Therefore, the coin is gripped by the guide plate 12 and the elastic pad 16 with maximum force, as shown in FIG. This ensures that the coin is reliably held in the new radial position determined by the outer wall 31 of the dimensioning recess 30.

According to an important feature of the invention, the guide plate 12 has a series of discharge recesses 40 spaced circumferentially around its periphery.
, 41, 42, 43, 44. -45 forms the discharge means. Also, the innermost edges of the successive slots are located progressively away from a radial position common to the outer edges of all W Els to receive and eject coins in order of increasing diameter.

Furthermore, the width of each ejection recess 40-45 is set smaller than the diameter of the coins received and ejected by these recesses 40-45, and in addition The surface of the guide plate 12 located close to these 1i
iI! The inner edge of the coin slopes upward within the ejection recesses 40-45. These discharge recesses 40 to 45 are located on the guide plate 1.
2, these inner edges guide the inclined coins outwardly, eventually causing them to be ejected from between the guide plate 12 and the elastic band 16.

This feature of the invention allows the coin to be pushed into the resilient pad 16 of the rotating disc 13 without the use of an auxiliary coin tilting device such as a pusher or plow.
It is reliably sorted and released into 1q. Release recesses 40 to 45
Properly position each coin to be ejected according to these dimensions? By making the coin smaller than 2, the outer peripheral edge of the coin can be moved through the ejection recess 40 by the guide plate 12.
- Pushed into 45.

As mentioned above, coins of different sizes are reliably ejected at predetermined circumferential positions around the guide plate 12 without the need for auxiliary devices for ejection. When this device was actually used, it was possible to sort coins at a rate of over 2,500 coins per minute, with an error rate of less than 0.005%.

In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, a series of six arcuate discharge recesses 40, 41, 42, 43, 44° 45 are circumferentially spaced around the guide plate 12. .

These six recesses 40 to 45 are located so as to eject coins of 10 cents, 1 cent, 5 cents, 25 cents, 1 dollar, and 50 cents, respectively, and are formed to have dimensions corresponding to each coin. has been done. In particular, the discharge recesses 40 to 45
The innermost edge of a coin of a particular type (e.g. 1
These coins are arranged so that only the outer periphery of the coin (0 cent coin) enters the corresponding ejection recess 40, and all other types of coins extend further inward than the inner periphery of the ejection recess 40. The outer peripheral edge cannot enter the recess 40.

Therefore, all coins other than dimes pass through the discharge recess 40.

For example, since the ejection recess 40 is adapted to eject only dimes, the innermost edge of the ejection recess 40 extends beyond the dimension confirmation recess 30 by a distance slightly greater than the diameter of the dime. It is located inwardly away from the radius of the outer wall 31. As a result, only dimes can enter the ejection recess 40. Since the outer edges of all types of coins are located in the same radial direction when the coin leaves the dimension checking recess 30, the inner edges of each coin of 1 cent, 5 cents, 25 cents, 1 dollar, and 50 cents are located in the ejection depression. Part 40
extends inwardly beyond the inner periphery of the coins, thereby preventing these coins from entering that particular ejection recess 4o. This is illustrated in Figure 2, where the dime C12,C
13 is collected in the discharge recess 40, and the 1 cent coin C1
The four and fifty cent coins C15 pass through the ejection recess 40 because their outer peripheral edges extend further inward than the innermost edge 40a of the ejection recess 4°.

Further, in another discharge recess 41 , the outer periphery of only the 1 cent coin is positioned sufficiently close to the outer periphery of the guide plate 12 so that the coin can enter the recess 41 .

The edges of larger coins extend inwardly beyond the innermost edge of the recess 41 so that they are held in place by the guide plate 12 and elastic pad 16. As a result, 1
All coins except cents continue to rotate past the depression 41. This is shown in FIG. 2, where the discharge recess 4
1, 1 cent coins C16, C17, and C18 are shown being collected, and a 5 cent coin C19 passes through the recess 41 because its inner outer circumferential edge overlaps the lowermost inner edge of the discharge recess 41.

Similarly, 5 cent coins C20, 021, C22 are placed in the ejection recess 42, 25 cent coins C23, C24, C25 are placed in the ejection recess 43, and 1 dollar coins C26, C27, C28 are placed in the ejection recess 44. Coins C29, C30, C31
enter the discharge recesses 45, respectively. Figure 2 also shows that: That is, 1. The 25 cent coin C32 described above has the 5 cent coin slave part 42, and the 1 dollar coin C33
The depression part 43 for the 25 cent coin, the 50 cent coin 1AC3
4 have passed through the one-dollar coin depressions 44, respectively.

The cross-sections of the ejection recesses 40-45 described above are best seen in FIG. 8, which is a cross-section of the ejection recess 42 for nickels. Of course, all the discharge recesses 40
．． The shape of the cross section of 41.43.44.45 is also similar,
They differ only in width, circumference, and radius. 8th
As is clear from the figure, the width of the slot 42 is larger than the radius of the 5 cent coin C20, but smaller than the diameter.

As a result, the outer portion of the 5 cent coin C20 is pressed downwardly into the elastic pad 16 by the surface 22c of the guide plate 12 at the outer edge of the recess 42, whereby the peripheral edge of the 5 cent coin Pj 20 is pushed downward into the ejection recess. slanting upward into 42;
At this time, the peripheral edge of the 5 cent coin C20 moves onto the elastic pad 16 along the inner wall 42a of the discharge recess 42. When the 5 cent coin C20 moves from them in the circumferential direction along the surface of the guide plate 12, the 5 cent coin C20 is pressed outward by the cam action of the wall 42a of the ejection recess 42, and finally it is It reaches the periphery of the guide plate 12, and is then completely released from the grip of the guide plate 12 and the elastic pad 16. At this time, due to the action of centrifugal force, the hard IC20 is sorted by the mechanism, for example, FiJ! It is discharged radially into a suitable container such as a cargo bag or box.

While each coin moves through the ejection recesses 40-45,
Since the coins are held by the guide plate 12 and the elastic pad 16, they are always in a controlled state. Therefore, even when a portion of the coin already protrudes from the outer peripheral edge of the guide plate 12, any coin can be stopped at any position in the longitudinal direction of the discharge recesses 40 to 45. Thus, whenever the rotating disk 16 stops (e.g., in response to counting a preselected number of coins of a particular type), the coins located within the various dispensing wells 40-45 will The rotating disk 13 is held in the guide plate 12 until the next counting operation is started again.

FIG. 9 shows that the periphery of the 25 cent coin located in the ejection recess 42 extends beyond the inner edge 42a of the portion 42, and the 25 cent coin cannot enter the recess 42. , the 5 cent coin C32 is rotated in the circumferential direction by the rotary disk 16 until it aligns with the next discharge recess 43.

Here, the function of the raised portion 23 of the guide plate 12 is to prevent two or more combined coins from reaching the ramp 28.

That is, when two or more coins are stacked one on top of the other, even in the deep recess 2o, the elastic pad 16
being pushed towards As a result, the overlapping coins, when they approach the above-mentioned ridge 23,
located in different radial directions within. Coin c35°C36 in Figure 10.11 shows an example of such a pair of overlapping coins.

FIG. 10 shows a state in which a pair of overlapping coins C35 and C36 only partially enter the recess 2o and therefore come into contact with the inner wall 23a of the raised portion 23. As shown in Figure 11,
Since the inner wall 23a is inclined, for example, a pair of coins C3
5 and C36 partially enter the recess 20 and overlap, they can pass through the protrusion 23 by passing under the inclined wall 23a.

The inclined wall 23a of the raised portion 23 has a pair of overlapping coins C35.
, C36, these coins C35, C
36 is partially held in the initial radial position within the recess 20. As a result, when the overlapping coins C35 and C36 emerge from the downstream end of the raised portion 23, they fit into a notch 50 (shown in FIG. 2) formed in the inner peripheral edge of the guide plate 12. When these overlapping coins fit into the notch 50, the upper coin C35 comes into contact with the wall 51 of the notch 50, so the movement of the upper coin IC35 is blocked, and the lower coin C36 continues to be moved by the rotating disk 16. As a result, the pair of coins are ill-died to each other, so that they enter the recess 20 individually one by one again. This release action of the notch 50 described above is illustrated in FIG.

FIG. 12 shows a pair of overlapping coins C37,038 that have traveled too far radially within the depression 20 before reaching the ridge 23. These pair of coins C37,0
38 contacts the outer wall 23b of the raised portion 23. As shown in FIG. 13, the lower portion of this outer wall 23b forms a short inclined surface, and the upper portion forms a vertical surface. For this reason,
The upper coin C37 contacts a vertical portion of the outer wall 23b of the ridge 23, thereby camming outward within the depression 25.

Further, the lower coin C38 comes into contact with the inclined portion of the outer wall 23b. Since the wall 23tl presses the lower coin C38 together with the elastic pad 16, the lower coin 038
can pass below the raised portion 23. The pressure created between this ridge 23 and the elastic pad 16 holds the lower coin 038 in a predetermined radial position as it passes under the ridge 23, so that the coin 038
As pad 16 continues to rotate as shown in FIG. 5, it is recirculated to recess 20. Due to the above-mentioned cam action, when the upper coin C37 is pushed outward in the recess 25, the lower coin 038 is held at a predetermined radial position, so that the two coins C37 and 038 are pushed against each other. Get out of N1. After this, the upper coin C37 is free to move outward towards the guide plate 27 and ramp 28 due to centrifugal force, while the lower coin 038 is recirculated.

In the above embodiment, the coins used in the United States of America, where the applicant and the inventor of this application have immigrated, were explained as an example, but when this device is used in a country other than the United States, it is necessary to use the coins of various coins of that country. Any changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, such as appropriately changing the dimensions of the parts of the invention in accordance with the dimensions.
