Description

Coin deposit apparatus with identification and classification structure}

The present invention relates to a coin depositing device, and more particularly, to a coin depositing device having a denomination classifying structure for handling coins that are collectively input in a mixed state without classifying denominations.

Domestically and internationally, banks, financial institutions, distribution stores, etc. are equipped with equipment for depositing coins. Although the use of coins will decrease as online payments such as credit cards are strengthened throughout society, it is expected that coin deposit machines will continue to evolve while coins continue to be in circulation. In the future, coin depositors are recognized as important design elements for convenience and labor efficiency with multi-functionality based on operational reliability and durability in preparation for the environment in which a large amount of coins are input.

Korean Patent Registration No. 2175738 (Prior Document 1) and Korean Patent Registration No. 0593755 (Prior Document 2) are known as prior art documents that can be referred to in this regard.

Prior Document 1 is an alignment table for drawing the input coins in a row through an induction table; a removal means for opposing a roll brush to one side of the alignment table and separating foreign substances from the coins; and a discharge means for regulating the discharge of foreign substances through the cover of the alignment table. Accordingly, an effect of maintaining operational reliability and durability of deposit/return operation is expected by preventing foreign matter from flowing into the path.

However, since it is difficult to increase convenience because it does not have a configuration for classifying coins by denomination, it shows room for improvement in terms of labor saving.

Prior Document 2 accurately and quickly discriminates a large number of coins by installing an electronic discriminating/classifying means consisting of an electronic sensor and a hitting means for selectively striking and separating coins moving along a coin movement passage by a signal from a control means. and classification, jam failure can be fundamentally prevented, and a separate sorter is not required to remove defective coins.

However, it is difficult to increase the classification speed by the solenoid-type striking means, and durability is deteriorated due to deformation due to impact and scattering of foreign substances.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings.

The present invention proposes a device for depositing coins while having a denomination classification structure. It is intended for a device for depositing coins that are collectively injected in a mixed state in a financial institution, etc., but is not necessarily limited thereto. Effectively applied to deposit managers of financial institutions, but not limited thereto.

According to the present invention, the main body 10 has a structure in which coins that are collectively input are judged by the discriminator 15 and sent to the normal chute 17 or the defective chute 18.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the input hopper 11, the sorter 13, the sorter 15, the normal chute 17, and the defective chute 18 constituting the main body 10 are shown. The input hopper 11 temporarily accommodates a large amount of coins falling into the input slot on the upper side. The sorter 13 is installed inside the input hopper 11 and separates the coins individually and sends them to the outlet in a row. A discriminator 15 is installed at the delivery port of the input hopper 11, and the normal chute 17 and the defective chute 18 are communicated with the discriminator 15 as a starting point. The discriminator 15 determines whether the coin is a normal coin, a deformed coin, or a foreign substance other than the coin by detecting the pattern, weight, material, etc. of the coin. If the coin passing through the discriminator 15 is normal, it is sent to the normal chute 17, and if it is a deformed coin or a foreign substance, it is sent to the bad chute 18.

In addition, according to the present invention, the classifying member 20 moves the coins of the top chute 17 between the fixed table 21 and the movable table 25 and classifies them by size.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 , a fixed base 21 and a movable base 25 constituting the classification member 20 are shown. In the general case, it is the degree of counting the stored amount by identifying mixed input coins. The fixing table 21 is formed in a disk structure and installed so as to be connected to the lower end of the top chute 17 on the main body 10. The movable table 25 is also based on a disk structure and is concentrically connected to the fixed table 21 to face each other. Opposite gaps between the stationary table 21 and the movable table 25 form an annular sorting path so as to move (turn) the coins introduced in a row from the top chute 17 in a certain circumferential shape.

On the other hand, the movable table 25 is connected to a sorting actuator 28 that has a servo motor or a geared motor as a movable unit at the center.

As a detailed configuration of the present invention, the sorting member 20 is characterized in that it has openings 22 for each denomination disposed on the same circumference of the holder 21 and a sorting chute 23 communicating therewith.

In FIG. 2, an opening 22 and a sorting chute 23 associated with the holder 21 of the sorting member 20 are shown. The opening 22 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape corresponding to a size corresponding to a 10-won note, 50-won note, 100-won note, 500-won note, and the like. In addition, the opening 22 may further have the largest size to correspond to coins of foreign countries. A circle drawn as a virtual line in the opening 22 represents a coin for each type of denomination. The sorting chute 23 is installed to drop coins in a separate path corresponding to the opening 22 of the holder 21. The dropped coins for each denomination are temporarily accommodated in a holding member 30 to be described later.

As a detailed configuration of the present invention, the classifying member 20 is characterized by having a classifying wheel 26 disposed on the same circumference of the movable table 25 and a classifying pad 27 disposed outside the classifying wheel 26.

2, a sorting wheel 26 and a sorting pad 27 associated with the movable table 25 of the sorting member 20 are shown. In general, mixed storage coins are classified using a separate device or separately classified by requesting a current transport company, which increases time and cost. In the present invention, a sorting wheel 26 and a sorting pad 27 are applied to the movable table 25 in order to solve such disadvantages. The sorting wheel 26 is rotatably installed at at least three locations and closely contacts the fixed table 21 to secure a sorting path through stable rotation of the movable table 25. The dividing pad 27 is formed in an annular shape and is mounted to coincide with the dividing path. The dividing pad 27 uses a rubber material, a resin material, or a composite material having high frictional resistance and good abrasion resistance.

Accordingly, coins introduced into the sorting path between the stationary table 21 and the movable table 25 pass through the opening 22 and the sorting chute 23 corresponding to the size while turning around the opening 22 .

In addition, according to the present invention, the holding member 30 has a structure in which coins or defective coins that have passed through the sorting member 20 are temporarily stored in the temporary storage box 31.

In FIG. 1, the temporary storage container 31 of the holding member 30 appears on the lower side adjacent to the classification member 20. The temporary storage container 31 is installed in communication with the lower end of the sorting chute 23 to store coins falling through sorting. In addition, the temporary storage bin 31 may store deformed coins and foreign substances falling from the defective chute 18 .

As a detailed configuration of the present invention, the holding member 30 is characterized by having an escrow 33 for storing normal coins by denomination.

In FIG. 1, the escrow 33 constituting the holding member 30 shows a state accommodated in the temporary storage box 31. The escrow 33 is formed in the shape of a box with an open top so as to classify and store coins for each denomination type. The escrow 33 is connected to the selection actuator 35 on one side and can rotate forward or backward. Depending on the direction of rotation of the selector actuator 35, the coins stored in the escrow 33 are sent to the pay side or return side at once.

In addition, according to the present invention, the detachable member 40 has a structure installed in the main body 10 so that the discriminator 15 can be easily concealed or exposed.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3 , a detachable member 40 appears at a position adjacent to the discriminator 15 between the input hopper 11 and the temporary storage container 31 . Since the discriminator 15 is relatively very sensitive compared to other parts, it is concealed as much as possible so that foreign substances such as dust do not flow in as well as buffering. Nevertheless, it should be possible to quickly expose the detector 15 to inspect whether foreign substances are accumulated, clean, or replace it. To this end, a separate cover may be included in the separate detachable member 40, but it is preferable to use the defective chute 18.

As a detailed configuration of the present invention, the detachable member 40 has a bracket 41 for chucking and detaching and a cutout 43 in the defective chute 18, and a support plate 45 and an elastic plate mounted on the main body 10 It is characterized in that it is elastically engaged by (47).

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4 , a bracket 41 constituting the detachable member 40 , a cutout 43 , a support plate 45 , an elastic plate 47 , and the like appear. The bracket 41 protrudes in a substantially triangular shape from one surface (inner surface) of the defective chute 18 to form a structure bent in an approximate L shape. One end of the bracket 41 is formed with a hooking portion 42 having a bent structure. The cutout 43 is formed in a substantially slit shape on the other surface of the defective chute 18 . The supporting plate 45 is mounted on the main body 10 in a substantially triangular structure and has a hooking portion 46 having a bent structure at an end thereof. The elastic plate 47 coupled to the support plate 45 has a structure bent in an approximate U shape and has a protrusion 48 engageable with the cutout 43 in the middle.

Accordingly, the operator aligns the hooking part 42 of the bracket 41 of the defective suit 18 with the hooking part 46 of the support plate 45, and then pushes the defective suit 18 to reveal the incision 43 and the protruding part ( 48) is firmly supported by the elastic plate 47 at the same time engaged. Conversely, if the elastic plate 47 is slightly pulled outward, the engagement between the cutout 43 and the protrusion 48 is released, and the defective suit 18 can be quickly separated.

Meanwhile, the detachable member 40 is not limited to the defective chute 18 and may be applied to other parts such as the sorting member 20 and the holding member 30 in the same manner.

The present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, such variations or modifications should fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
