Description

Coin screening device

The present invention relates to a coin sorting device for a fare checker for buses or trains that can use a coin, bill or card at the same time. In particular, it prevents the reuse of counterfeit coins or bad coins and stabilizes the device operation. It was designed to reduce the volume of the export safe for coins so that the product can be miniaturized.

Fare payment machines are widely used in many fields, and the most widely used ones are mainly used to pay for public telephones, vending machines, and bus or train fare. Such tollers use coins, bills, or magnetic tape cards.

For example, in the case of the payment machine used for tolls such as buses and trains, the use of coins, bills, and tickets is used in combination with the Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-25644, public utility. It is known from Sinan No. 60-144172, Utility Model No. Hei 2-41723, and Utility Model No. Hei 3-34172.

Such bus fare counters generally have a slot for coins and bills or tickets, respectively, and count or recognize coins, bills, and tickets flowing through each slot, as a counter or a reader, and through which the coins are paid. It is to be stored by coin unit in the export depository divided by risk unit, and coins, banknotes and tickets which are more than the balance storage are kept in the safe.

In such a bus fare checker, the coin sorting device sorts coins to be divided into storage units in the export safe for change as described above. Such coin sorting devices have been developed and used to date. Sinan Gong No. 1-10690, and Pyeong 3-48678. The coin selector is used to supply the coins, which are generally input, individually on the sorting path by using a disc-shaped lift, and the coins supplied are sorted out in a mechanical and physical manner by using the outer diameter difference of each unit coin.

In more detail, the height of each unit coin passing through the coin selection path is detected, and the detected height is selected by causing the coin to deviate from the path.

By the way, the coin selector is supplied with an abnormal or normal coin, which has passed through the coin counting unit and has been checked for false or defective coins, and at this time, the abnormal or normal coin is sorted at the same time to be stored in the takeout and paid for change. It is being repaid along with the city's normal coins, which prevents the use of bad coins such as counterfeit coins.

The coin selector is injecting coins of almost all units commonly used, and the coins of all the units introduced in this manner are partitioned and stored in the export safe.

At this time, when storing all coins used in the safe deposit box, the volume of the safe deposit box should be increased, that is, the storage space of each coin should be provided. There is a problem that it is required to eliminate the storage space of the high-money unit coins, which are not used as change coins, to be removed from the safe deposit box, and to be directly recovered to the safe deposit box to reduce the volume of the safe deposit box to the minimum possible.

In addition, the coin selector such that the coin is not sorted during the operation of the bus is continuously supplied to the coin sorting side in the disc-shaped lift is supplied on the sorting path, such a coin is a malfunction of the coin sorting unit during bus operation In other words, the coin that was present on the sorting path caused by the vibration during operation became an unexpected failure factor such as being stuck in the coupling gap of the component of the coin sorter, which caused the fatal failure of the device.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to allow the collection of counterfeit coins or bad coins directly to the recovery safe box without selecting discriminated counterfeit coins or bad coins. The present invention provides a coin sorting device.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a coin sorting device of a fare checker which eliminates malfunction or failure factors of the device and stabilizes the operation by completely recovering the coin to the collection safe side without leaving coins in the coin sorting unit during operation.

Is housed in the recovery safe 700 that is installed on the lower side of the billing apparatus 100.

Each of the parts configured in this way is unitized so that the assembly and maintenance is very easy.

The present invention relates to the improvement of the coin sorting device in the payment device 100 configured as described above. 3, 4a and 4b show details of the coin sorting unit.

That is, the coin selector 300 is installed inclined with an appropriate gradient in parallel with the coin count unit 200 directly under the internal coin count unit 200 of the checker 100 as usual. The coin sorting unit 300 is formed on one side of the substrate 301 having a rectangular plate-like shape in a vertical plane with respect to the substrate so that the coin counting unit 200 reads and counts the completed signal or counterfeit coin or defect. The hopper 310 is provided to identify the coin and provide a receiving space for temporarily holding the coin that is opened and dropped by the manual operation signal of the manager.

In addition, the inner end side of the hopper 310 configured as described above is provided with a disk-shaped lift 330 which rotates at an appropriate rotational speed by the first actuator 320 on the same plane as the substrate 301, and of the lift 330 The coin separation path 340 that is connected in the tangential direction in the upper one side is provided. The sorting path 340 detects the outer diameter difference according to the coin unit and selects the coins by the staircase type selection band 341 that drops the coins.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the coin sorting path 340 is installed on the substrate 301 perpendicular to the substrate and receives coins that are individually taken out from the lift 330. And a base surface 342 for guiding the movement of the clouds directly below the coin selector 341 of.

The coins moving on the base surface 342 are arranged in the coin sorting space 341A, which is sequentially arranged on the bottom of the coin sorting stand 341 on the upper side of the sorting path 340. Each coin is selected in units by 341D, and each coin sorting space 341A is selected. ... Each division passage 351A of the discharge part 350 which continues in the lower part of 341D. It will be stored in each unit storage of the export safe deposit 400 along the (351D), the sorting structure of each unit coin is the same structure as before.

In the present invention, in the bottom surface of the inward side adjacent to the discoid lift 330 in the bottom surface of the hopper 310 of the coin sorting unit 300 as described above sliding to the operation cam 361 of the second actuator 360 The damper 370 which is opened and closed by the operation period 362 is provided. The opening and closing of the damper 370 is controlled by manual operation by a discrimination signal that is recognized and output from the coin coin 200 or the coin in the coin counting unit 200.

Thus, the coins falling through the damper 370 will be recovered and stored in the recovery safe 700 through the discharge passage 380, where the operation period 362 of the damper 370 is the rear end of the elastic member 363 By elastically installed so as to be elastically sliding to the operating cam 361 of the second actuator 360 and to maintain the restoring force.

In addition, in the present invention, coins that are not used as change in the tip of the coin sorting path 340, for example, 500 won coins or tokens, are not directly supplied to the sorting path 340, so that they can be directly recovered to the cash storage 700 side. The unused coin processing unit 390 is provided, and the unused coin processing unit 390 selects coins that are not used as change, deletes the coin receiving space of the export safe deposit box 400, The purpose is to reduce the volume.

The unused coin processing unit 390 is shown in detail in FIGS. 6 and 7. That is, the unused coin processing unit 390 is spoken through the through hole 343 perforated at a suitable height from the base surface 342 of the sorting path 340 at the tip of the coin sorting stand 341 of the sorting path 340. . The height of the coin passing through the base surface 342 is discriminated so that the unused coin is separated from the selection path 340 to be recovered to the recovery safe 700.

The non-used coin processing unit 390 is composed of an operating table 391 and an electromagnet 392, which are freely rotatably installed on a pair of bearing pieces 302 provided in the substrate 301. The operating table 391 is integrally provided with a detection table 391A on its upper side to discriminate the height of the coins passed through the selection path through the through hole 343 of the selection table 341 and passed through the selection path. The push rod 391B which removes the coin moving from the base surface 342 from the base surface 342 is integrally provided.

The operating table 391 configured as described above has the height of the coin not used as the change coin being discriminated by the detection table 391A, and the detection table 391A is centered on the bearing piece 302 by the height of the unused coin. In addition to rotating counterclockwise, the push rod 391B integrally provided at the lower portion pushes the lower end of the coin on the base surface 342 to the right to separate the coin from the base surface 342.

In addition, the electromagnet 392 is installed on the back surface of the substrate 301 in the cross direction with respect to the operating table 391, and when the closing signal of the bus door is recognized from the main controller which controls and manages the system as a whole, the main controller is applied to the electromagnet 392. When the plunger 392A is pushed to push the plunger 392A, the plunger 392A pushes the lower side of the operating table 391 to protrude the pushing section 391B of the operating table 391 onto the base surface 342, 342 is forcibly removed from the coin sorting unit.

The shaking of the coins prevents coins from remaining in the coin sorting path while the bus is in operation, thereby preventing mechanical malfunction of the coin sorting unit.

The present invention of such a configuration receives the coins flowing into the coin inlet 101 as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and passes through the coin counting unit 200 to form the discrimination and counting counterfeit coins, thus completing the discrimination and counting of coins One coin is dropped onto the hopper 310 of the coin sorting unit 300 which is installed immediately below the coin counting unit 200, and is individually supplied on the coin sorting path 340 by the disc lift 33. Coins in each unit are sorted by the sorting table 341 to detect the height of the coin as shown in FIG. 5 and separately stored in the coin storage space of each unit of the export safe deposit box 400.

In the present invention, in the normal sorting process, the damper 370 is closed in the state in which the damper 370 is closed, and the coins are individually supplied to the sorting path 340 by the disk-shaped lift 330 to achieve the desired sorting for each unit. When the coin is selected, the coin counting unit is provided with the discriminated signal of defective coin or counterfeit coin, and is provided in the hopper 310 of the coin selecting unit 300 driven by the manual operation of the manager or the output signal of the control signal. The damper 370 collects coins placed on the hopper 310 as shown in FIG. 4B directly through the discharge passage 380 connected to the lower portion of the hopper 31 to the side of the recovery safe 700, forging coins or defective coins. By avoiding the change of redemption, the reuse of counterfeit or bad coins is prevented.

In addition, the coins which are individually transported by the front end of the sorting path 340 of the coin sorting unit 300, that is, the disk-shaped lift 330, are mounted on the base surface 342 of the sorting path 340, and sorting table 341 is provided. The non-used coin processing unit 390 for discriminating coins which are not used as change coins at the initial position flowing in) is used to directly collect the unused coins to the recovery safe 700.

More specifically, FIG. 7A shows a state in which the coin C01 used as a change is passed. At this time, the height of the coin does not affect the detection table 391A on the upper side of the operating table 391 of the unused coin processing unit 390, and passes through the coin processing unit 390 as it is and is supplied onto the selection path 340. A unit is sorted and stored in each unit storage space of the export depository 400 is to wait for change.

7B shows a processing state of the unused coin C02 which is not used as a change, in which the height of the unused coin passing through the detection stand of the unused coin processing unit 390 and the operating table 391 ( At the same time as pushing up the 391A, the lower push rod 391B of the operating table 391 pushes the lower portion of the coin mounted on the base surface 342 to the right so that the base is not supplied to the sorting path 340. By dropping the coin on the surface 342 to recover the unused coin to the side of the safe deposit box, unnecessary storage space of the unloading safe box 400 can be eliminated to reduce the volume of the unload safe and reduce the size of the payout.

In addition, when the closed signal of the bus door is recognized from the main control unit that controls and manages the system as a whole, the main control unit 390 drives the electromagnet 392 so that the push rod 391B of the operating table 391 is based on the main control unit. If there is a coin waiting to be sorted on the sorting path 340 of the coin sorting unit 300 in the state where the bus is started by protruding onto the face 342, the coin is forcibly dropped on the sorting path 340. To me.

The present invention can prevent the reuse of counterfeit coins or bad coins by directly recovering them to the collection safe without sorting out counterfeit coins or bad coins discriminated by the fare checker, and recovering them without leaving coins in the coin selector during operation. It can be recovered to the safe side to eliminate the malfunction or failure of the device and stabilize the operation.
