The present invention relates to a station automatic teller machine of the subway, and in particular, a large capacity hopper for a ticket vending machine that enhances the function of a coin hopper that holds a coin entered by a user, such as a ticket vending machine of a subway, and automatically handles operations such as returning change. It is about.

In general, subways, which must handle a large number of users, have introduced various automated devices such as ticket vending machines, ticket vending machines, coin exchangers, etc., to form a service automation system.

As shown in FIG. 1, a general ticket vending machine is roughly composed of a guide display unit 2, a passenger operating unit 3, a coin inlet 3a, a bill inlet (not shown), a return inlet 4 and the like.

The guide display unit 2 displays various guide letters, such as a ticket being sold or a ticket being stopped.

Then, the passenger control unit 3 is displayed by pressing the operation button corresponding to the desired section, the fare corresponding to that is put into the coin input hole (3a) or banknote input port (not shown) returning the opening (4) Tickets that record the place of purchase, the date of purchase, degree of disability, discount information for persons with disabilities, the distinction between adults and children, and the change corresponding to the ticket are returned.

At this time, the change change is processed by a coin hopper to process the coin to be inserted, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the configuration of a conventional coin hopper 10 used in the ticket vending machine.

Such a coin returning device includes a hopper 10 temporarily receiving a plurality of coins 6 input by a user, a rotating disk 12 mounted on the inside of the hopper 10 to be rotated concentrically, and the rotating disk ( It is provided with a stationary disk 14, which is spaced apart from the lower end of the motor 18 for rotating the 12 and the rotating disk 12, the coin extraction hole 14a is formed.

The rotating disk 12 is formed to penetrate a plurality of coin receiving balls (12a) of the size that can be inserted into the coin 6 to be discharged in the circumferential direction, the motor 18 and the stationary disk (14) It is fixed through the bearing 17 of the motor housing 19.

And, the coin extraction hole (14a) is formed larger in diameter than the coin receiving hole (12a).

In this configuration, when a plurality of coins 6 are put into the hopper 10 and accumulated, the rotating disk 12 is rotated by the motor 18 so that the received coins are caught by the coin receiving ball 12a. The coin extraction hole 14a formed in 14) discharges the change to the outside or is discharged to the coin collection.

At this time, the coins flowing into the hopper are accumulated in the upper portion of the rotating disk while maintaining the load as it is, and the load is increased as the weight of the whole coin increases, increasing the rotating torque of the rotating disk to make the operation difficult. If even the coin of is caught in the sliding frictional motion of the rotating disk, the rotation torque of the last disk exceeds the driving torque of the motor.

In this state, the rotating disk does not work properly and does not perform a function of releasing change, and not only the coin in the hopper can not be sent down to the coin collector, but also the motor cannot be used for a long time.

In addition, since the coin immediately flows on the rotating disk, the replenishment period is relatively short, resulting in inconveniences in use.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, by installing a blocking means so that the load of coins flowing into the hopper is not directly applied to the rotating disk to operate the rotating disk normally can accommodate a large amount of coins The purpose is to provide a large capacity hopper.

A large-capacity hopper for a ticket vending machine according to the present invention for achieving the above object, rotatably installed on the stationary disk formed with a coin extraction hole in the lower side of the hopper inside the coin holding hole, and rotates the rotating disk with a motor In a coin hopper for releasing the coins accommodated in the receiving hole to the outside or through the coin collecting hole through the coin extraction hole: predetermined on the left and right inner surface of the coin hopper so that the load of the incoming coins are not directly applied to the rotating disk It is formed to be inclined at an angle of, and intersecting with a zigzag that is installed blocking means consisting of a bracket for dispersing the weight of coins; It characterized in that it further comprises an inclined portion formed obliquely the outer surface of the coin hopper inclined so as to obliquely side the coin flowing into the rotating disk along the blocking means so as not to affect the rotating disk.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

3 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the coin hopper according to the present invention.

A hopper 20 for temporarily accommodating a large number of coins 6 input by the user, and a rotating disk 12 mounted on the inner bottom of the hopper 20 so as to be rotated at the same time and the rotating disk 12 are rotated. It is provided with a stationary disk 14 spaced apart from the lower end of the motor 18 and the rotating disk 12 to form a coin extraction hole (14a).

The rotating disk 12 is formed to penetrate a plurality of coin receiving balls (12a) of the size that can be inserted into the coin 6 to be discharged in the circumferential direction, the motor 18 and the stationary disk (14) It is fixed via the bearing 17 of the motor housing 19.

The coin extraction hole 14a has a larger diameter than the coin receiving hole 12a. The above structure is the same as the conventional structure mentioned above.

At this time, blocking means for blocking the load of the coin flowing into the hopper 20 on the left and right inner surface of the coin hopper 20 is not applied to the direct rotating disk 12 in a predetermined arrangement state, the blocking means is Consists of a bracket 20a, the brackets 20a are formed to be inclined at a predetermined angle and are intersected with zigzag to be installed.

In addition, the present invention is further provided with an inclined portion (20b) formed to be inclined hopper 20 lower outer surface.

The action and effect by this configuration is as follows.

In the process in which a plurality of coins 6 are introduced into the hopper 20 in a scattered state and accommodated, the coins 16 are guided along the bracket 20a installed at an inclined cross and are stacked on the rotating disk 12. , The coin 6 falls along the last bracket 20a installed at the bottom of the coin 6 and is inclined laterally by the inclined portion 20b formed on the lower outer surface of the hopper 20 and finally flows onto the rotating disk 12a. Backlog

At this time, the coin 6 introduced into the coin hopper 20 is guided to the above-described bracket (20a) in the middle of the fall while the weight is blocked and dispersed, without being directly applied on the rotating disk 12, Finally, the coin 6 is slanted to the side by the inclined portion 20b of the bottom outer surface of the coin hopper 20 and is stably accumulated without affecting the rotating disk 12.

In this state, the motor 18 is driven to smoothly rotate the rotating disk 12.

The coins 6 accumulated in the state of being rotated by the rotation of the rotating disk 12 are accommodated in the coin accommodation balls 12a formed by penetrating a plurality of spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the rotating disk 12. At this time, the accommodated coin (6) is seated on the stationary disk 14 at the bottom in a state that part of the thickness is caught in the coin receiving hole (12a), and is transported in accordance with the rotation of the continuous rotating disk 12 Finally, it reaches a coin extraction hole 14a formed in the stationary disk 14 and is accurately discharged to the outside or the coin collecting box.

As described above, the large-capacity hopper according to the present invention disperses its weight by blocking the load of coins falling into the hopper several times in the middle, and finally, the coins are obliquely lateral to not affect the rotating disk. If it does not accumulate, the rotating disk will operate smoothly and will perform its function of releasing change. And since the coin flows in a zigzag, the replenishment period of change is relatively long, and more coins can be accommodated, thereby preventing inconvenience to users. The present invention described above can be used not only for ticket vending machines but also for coin exchangers, game machines or vending machines.

While the present invention has been described with respect to certain preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the present invention may be modified and modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or the scope of the present invention as provided by the following claims. Those skilled in the art can easily know.
