That is, the body part 1100 can be repeatedly reused without breaking the body part 1100 by the opening and closing part 1120.

The solar cell unit 1510, the light emitting unit 1520, and the audio input / output unit 1530 may be selectively partially exposed, partially exposed, or not exposed to a portion of the outer surface of the body part 1100. The solar cell unit 1510, the light emitting unit 1520, and the audio input / output unit 1530 will be described in detail below with reference to the power generation unit 1400 and the multimedia input / output unit 1500.

The coin detector 1200, the bank controller 1300, the power generator 1400, the multimedia input / output unit 1500, and the database unit 1600 are provided in the internal space of the body part 1100 so as not to be exposed to the outside Is relatively preferable.

The coin detector 1200 detects the size of the coin 1700 inserted through the inlet 1110 in a space inside the lower end of the inlet 1110 formed in a part of the upper end of the body part 1100.

The coin detecting unit 1200 includes a hinge bracket 1210, a rotating shaft 1220, a coin contacting unit 1230, an elastic body 1240, an elastic body 1250, a variable resistance unit 1260, and a fixing member 1270 . 4A is a perspective view illustrating a state of the apparatus, and FIG. 4B is a perspective view illustrating a state in which a coin is inserted and operated. FIG. 5 is a side view for explaining an operating state according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The hinge bracket 1210 includes at least one shaft hole 1212 having the same diameter formed in the same space in the lower space of the lower end of the charging port 1110 of the body part 1100.

Depending on need or selection, the hinge bracket 1210 may be replaced by a hinge or hinge.

The pivot shaft 1220 is inserted into the shaft hole 1212 of the hinge bracket 1210 and rotates. On the other hand, if a hinge is used instead of the hinge bracket 1210, the pivot 1220 may or may not be provided.

The coin contacting portion 1230 has a flat plate shape and has one end connected to the rotating shaft 1220 and extended in one direction in the opposite direction. At this time, the width is narrowed toward the extending direction or the width is narrowed step by step. In addition, forming a fence in both widthwise directions keeps the flat plate shape, maintains the mechanical strength without bending, and causes the coin to be inserted to be guided to fall exactly in the direction in which the power generating part 1400 is located, do.

That is, the coin contacting portion 1230 is in the form of a flat plate as a whole and rotates vertically about the rotating shaft 1220 by the coin 1700 inserted into the loading port 1110.

One or more elastic claws 1240 are formed on both ends of the extended portion of the coin contacting portion 1230.

The elastic body 1250 has one end connected to each elastic member 1240 and the other end connected to a part of the upper surface of the inner space of the body 1100.

The elastic body 1250 may include any one or more of a coil spring, a rubber band, and a known elastic body configuration. Further, in order to operate correctly even when the weight of the coin 1700 to be injected is small, the elastic body having the elasticity value selected by the repeated experiment should be used.

The variable resistance unit 1260 is connected to the variable resistance shaft 1262 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 1220 and has a size in which the coin contacting unit 1230 connected to the rotating shaft 1220 is vertically rotated, . The variable resistance shaft 1262 is a central axis for driving the variable resistance portion 1260.

The larger the difference in the resistance value detected by the variable resistance unit 1260 according to the size of the coin, the more clearly the amount of the coin can be clearly distinguished, so that the length of the coin contact unit 1230 is relatively important.

In the present invention, it is highly desirable to select a length such that the length of the coin contacting portion 1230 is at least 1.3 times the diameter of the maximum size coin 1700 and at least 2.4 times the diameter of the minimum size coin 1700. However, it is quite natural that it can be added or subtracted depending on the material constituting the coin 1700.

The coin (1700) is generally large in weight and large in amount, while the minimum size is small in weight and small in amount.

It is preferable that the length of the coin contact portion 1230 is made long so that the coin contacting portion 1230 smoothly rotates up and down by the action of the lap when the smallest coin 1700 having a relatively small weight is inserted into the input port 1110 , And if the length is too long, the resistance value detected by the variable resistance portion 1260 may be too small, so that the range of 2 to 2.6 times is suitable and 2.4 times is most preferable by repeated experiments.

When the coin 1700 having a relatively large weight is inserted into the inlet 1110, the coin contacting portion 1230 can be smoothly turned up and down so that the length of the coin contacting portion 1230 can be shortened. It is preferable that the range of 1.2 to 1.4 times is appropriate and the most preferable range is 1.3 times according to the repeated experiment.

The fixing part 1270 is protruded downward in a different part of the upper surface of the portion where the inlet 1110 is formed in the inner space of the body part 1100 so as to be in contact with the other end of the coin contact part 1230, And the other end of the coin contacting portion 1230 is inclined downward so that the coin 1700 to be injected is smoothly introduced into the inner space of the body portion 1100.

A cushioning pad 1272 can be attached and fixed to a portion where the fixing member 1270 contacts the other end of the coin contacting portion 1230. The cushioning pad 1272 can be made of leather, And the like can be used.
