Industrial use field

The present invention relates to a coin dispensing apparatus provided for withdrawing coins one by one in a vending machine, a game machine, and the like, in particular, a coin dispensing apparatus including an escalator connected to the outlet chute and other coin conveying ducts of the same type.

Conventional technology

Conventionally, a coin dispensing apparatus of the type disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-45588 is already known as a coin dispensing apparatus, and this coin dispensing apparatus is in a state in which a large number of coins A are disturbed as shown in FIG. In the hopper 1 to accommodate, the coin dispensing disc 2 is rotated in an inclined plane inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal, so as to be spaced circumferentially around the central circular support 3 on the coin dispensing disc 2. The coin is sent from the lower side of the hopper to the upper portion by the plurality of coin discharging pins 4 protruding from the hopper, and the coins are disbursed one by one by the extruding force of the coin discharging pins 4 through the outlet chute 5 disposed above. It is configured to.

In the coin dispensing apparatus of this type, a coin escalator 6 is pushed by the coin dispensing pin 4 via the outlet chute 5 as shown in FIG. 1 in order to guide the coin pushed out through the chute chute upward. It is comprised so that a coin may be sent out one by one by an output.

In the coin dispensing apparatus of this type, a coin escalator 6 is connected to the outlet chute 5 as shown in FIG. 1 in order to guide the coin pushed out through the outlet chute upward. The coin escalator 6 is configured to form a groove-shaped coin passage 10 by a rear plate 7, a pair of left and right spacers 8, and a pair of left and right front edge plates 9, and an exit chute ( It has a lower end inclined connection part 6a extending in the same inclined surface as 5) and a vertical extension part 96c extending almost vertically from the lower end connection part 6a through the curved part 6b.

In such a coin escalator 6, the smooth movement of the coin is hindered by interference with the front and rear ends of the coin pushed up into the coin passage 10 and the rear plate in the curved portion 6b, whereby the coin is stagnated. There was a problem that does not move.

As a means to solve this problem, various kinds have been proposed in the related art, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-107076, the rear plate (at the curved portion 6a of the coin escalator 6) ( 7) opening the window portion extending along the coin moving direction, and the tip and the rear end of the coin pushed up into the escalator 6 are pushed out of the coin passage 10 by the opening of the window portion, so that the coin tip and the back The interference between the end portion and the rear plate 7 at the curved portion 6a is prevented.

However, as described above, the coin dispensing device in which the escalator 6 is attached to the exit chute 5 may be held by one hand while holding the portion of the escalator 6 at the time of its transportation and when it is attached to a vending machine or the like. In many cases, since the coin delivery device itself is a heavy product of about 4 kg, the curved portion of the escalator deforms, and there is a problem of coin stagnation due to this deformation.

In particular, in the structure in which the window portion is opened in the curved portion as described above, there is a drawback that the above-described deformation is a problem because the strength of the curved portion is reduced than other portions.

Challenges that the invention seeks to solve

The present invention is to provide a means for solving the problem of stagnation in the coin passage due to the interference between the coin and the rear plate and the problem of deformation of the curved portion in the above-mentioned escalator coin delivery device with an escalator.

Means to solve the problem

The invention according to claim 1 of the present invention has a hopper 1 for accommodating a large number of coins in a disturbed state, a coin dispensing disc 2 that is inclined to rotate horizontally in the hopper 1, and a coin dispensing disc ( A coin dispensing pin 4 protruding from the coin dispensing disc 2 at a position spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of 2), an outlet chute 5 for guiding the discharging coin, and a lower end connected to the outlet chute upwards; A coin escalator 6 having an upper end is installed, and a coin is pushed up into the coin escalator 6 through an exit chute 5 by the coin discharging pin 4, and the coin escalator 6. Is curved with a groove-shaped coin passageway 10 defined by a rear plate 7 and a front plate 9 of a pair of left and right spacers 8, and a lower end inclined connection portion 6a connected to the outlet chute 5. Part 6b and vertical extension part 6c In the coin dispensing apparatus with an escalator, the reinforcing recess 11 which extends along the direction to which a coin moves is formed in the back plate 7 in the said curved part 6b, The said reinforcement The concave groove 11 is characterized in that it is configured to accommodate the front end and the rear end of the coin pushed up in the groove-shaped coin passage (10).

In addition, in the invention according to claim 2, in the invention according to claim 1, the concave groove 11 for reinforcement is configured such that the cross-sectional shape in the width direction of the rear plate 7 is almost U-shaped. It is done.

Action

According to the present invention, the bending strength of the curved portion 6b is increased by providing a concave groove extending along the coin moving direction in the rear plate 7 in the curved portion 6b of the coin escalator 6. Therefore, even if the coin escaping device is held by holding the coin escalator 6, the curved portion is not deformed, and the front and rear ends of the coin pushed up inside the coin passage 10 into the recess 11. Because of the forced entry, no interference with the rear plate is caused, so that the coin can move smoothly in the curved portion 6b.

Example

FIG. 1 shows a coin delivery device with an escalator in which the present invention is implemented, and FIG. 2 shows a part of the escalator 6 connected to the exit chute 5 of the coin delivery device, as shown in FIG. In the curved portion 6b of the coin escalator 6, the rear plate 7 has a width narrower than the coin diameter along the coin moving direction, preferably about the radius, for example, 14 mm in width. An elongated concave groove 11 of about 2 mm is provided by, for example, press molding of the curved portion 6b at the same time as the press molding.

In the example shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, although the recess 11 is made into substantially U-shaped cross-sectional shape, it can of course be made into another cross-sectional shape. Moreover, of course, the concave groove 11 can be provided not only in the curved part 6b but also in other parts 6a and 6c. In addition, although the front plate 9 shows an example of a pair of edge plates, it can also be comprised by one plate.

According to the present invention, both the prevention of deformation of the curved portion of the escalator and the stagnation of coins in the curved portion can be achieved by simply pressing the concave groove 7 at the same time during press molding of the rear plate curved portion. Can be.
