Description

Coin counting device with change discharge unit {apparatus to count the coin having a discharge unit of change}

The present invention relates to a coin counting device, and more particularly, to a coin counting device having a change change discharge unit that can spend the change after separating the coins according to the size, counting them.

Generally, contactless cards, coupons, bills, coins and the like are used as a means of payment for public transportation. In the case of using coins among these payment means, various kinds of coins are introduced, so there are many difficulties in counting coins. In particular, in the case of paying a transportation cost with a coin, it is not easy to check whether the paid transportation cost is an accurate fare, and there is a problem in that the driver can not concentrate on driving when checking the risk of a safety accident.

 Korean Patent Publication No. 2008-0102511 discloses a coin sorting device. The coin sorting device has a circular receiving portion formed therein, and a sorting housing each of which has a coin groove perforated in size at its bottom along the inner wall of the receiving portion, and is rotatably mounted on the receiving portion and introduced into the receiving portion. It is provided with a separating rotating plate for transporting along the inner wall of the receiving portion to separate and discharge by type of coins through the coin groove.

In addition, Korean Patent Publication No. 2007-0106208 discloses a coin counting device. The disclosed coin counting device includes a rotating plate for dispensing coins by centrifugal force, a high-speed transmission roller for discharging the coin again at high speed so as to transport the coin at high speed, and a transport for guiding the ejected coin to the counting sensing unit. Is provided with a passage, the conveying passage is provided with a curved portion at the tip, the shock discharged on the curved portion to mitigate the impact when the coin discharged from the high-speed transfer roller enters the curved portion to be transported along one side wall The member is provided. In Korea Patent Registration No. 0663636, a high speed coin counting device is posted. In Korea Patent Registration No. 09109630, a counter using a coin and a control method thereof are posted.

 Conventional coin counting devices configured as described above do not tend to be detected depending on the material of the coin passing through the coin transport path in the process of sorting coins, and thus the reliability of the coin counting and counting cannot be increased. It is also difficult to count coins and spend change.

A second detection sensor 243 for counting the coins to be discharged is provided. As described above, the second detection sensor 243 may be a light emitting sensor or a proximity sensor.

Referring to the operation of the coin counting device having a change discharge unit according to the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, in order to count the coins 300 using the coin counting device 10 having the change discharge unit, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the rotary disc drive motor 42 of the coin supply unit 40 is driven. Rotating disk 41 is rotated to drive the drive motor 63 to the ring gear 61 is rotated. In this state, coins having different sizes according to the values, that is, coins 300 to be counted, are randomly injected into the input hopper member 43.

In this way, the coin 300 is placed on the upper surface of the rotary disk 41, and moved radially by the centrifugal force due to the rotation of the rotary disk 41 of the coin 300, the guide member ( Guided to the guide discharge portion 32 of the 31 is introduced into the coin transport path 15 partitioned by the coin separation plate 20, the guide member 31 and the guide ring 29.

The coin 300 introduced into the coin transport path 15 is coined by the pressing piece 65b of the elastic pressing member 65 installed on the lower surface of the ring gear 61 rotating in the coin transport unit 60. 300 is moved to a state in which the coin separation plate 20 is pressed.

Coin 300 moved in this process is dropped by the pressing force and the weight by the pressing piece 65b when moving to the upper surface of the coin sorting hole 21 of the same size as the coin 300, the guide plate It is guided by the guide rib 27 of (25), and is supplied to the coin collection container 201.

As described above, the coins 300 introduced into the input hopper member 43 are supplied and loaded into the respective coin collection containers 201 for each type. At this time, the coin 300 which is put into the coin collecting container 201 is detected by the first detection sensor, counted by the controller, and then displayed on the display.

When the coin is filled in the coin collecting container 201 by stacking the coins supplied to the coin collecting container 201, the coins supplied afterwards through the coin discharge unit 201a formed in the coin collecting container 201. The discharged coins are guided by the coin discharge guide 13 and fall into the outer cylinder (not shown).

In order to discharge the change after the counting of coins is completed, as shown in FIG. 8, the motor 227 installed in the lower part of the coin collecting container 201 to be discharged by the controller is driven. In this case, the pivot pin 228 of the eccentric cam 229 installed on the drive shaft of the motor 227 rotates the pivot link 224 while moving the long hole 224a of the rotary link 224 to move the slider ( Retract 210). Therefore, the stacked coins 300 are inserted into the coin support grooves 210a formed in the front of the slider 210 while descending. When the eccentric cam 229 is further rotated, the rotary link 224 is rotated to advance the slider 210 so that the coin supported by the coin support groove 210a of the slider 210 is chute 400. Pushed out). At this time, one coin discharge is counted by the second detection sensor unit 240 and the control unit. Coin counting is counted by the second detection sensor installed in the detection dog 241 installed in the rotary link 224 is drawn into and out of the space portion formed in the support bracket 242.

By operating the motor installed in the lower part of the coin collecting container selected as described above, the coin can be discharged to discharge the change.

As described above, the coin counting device of the present invention can separate and count coins that are randomly inputted, and can discharge the change, thereby increasing the merchandise value. In particular, since the coin is separated while the coin is joined to the coin separation hole formed on the coin separation plate is moved, it is possible to increase the reliability of the coin separation.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention will be defined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
