As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the first plate 22 has an arcuate second carrier first cutout 351 and a second carrier second cutout around the central axis 371 of the second carrier arm 37. A notch 352 is provided with a predetermined width.
When the second carrier arm 37 rotates, the first notch 351 for the second carrier passes through the first plate 22 so that the first locking claw 374 of the second carrier first arm 372 passes through the second plate. It is provided so as not to interfere with the first plate 22 in a state of protruding to the 23 side.

On the other hand, when the second carrier arm 37 rotates, the second notch 352 for the second carrier passes through the first plate 22 and the second locking claw 375 of the second carrier second arm 373 passes through the first notch 352. It is provided so as not to interfere with the first plate 22 in a state of protruding to the second plate 23 side.
The second notch 282 for the second carrier is provided with a length that does not interfere with the second locking claw 375 in the rotation range of the second carrier arm 37 regulated by the first locking claw 374. Yes.

When the coin C is not introduced, the second carrier arm 37 is urged in the direction of the arrow 9B in FIG. 8A by the action of the second weight 376, and the first locking claw 374 becomes the first carrier first cut. Stops in contact with the end of the notch 351. This position is the origin position. As a result, the second carrier arm 37 is rotatable within a range in which the first locking claw 374 can move inside the first notch 281 for the second carrier.

Since the second carrier recess 353 is provided in the second plate 23 so as to face the second carrier first notch 351, the first locking claw 374 penetrating the first plate 22 is the second plate. 23 is prevented. In addition, since the second carrier notch 283 is provided in the third plate 24 so as to face the second notch 352 for the second carrier, it penetrates the first plate 22 and further the notch of the second plate 23. The first locking claw 374 penetrating through 231 prevents the third plate 24 from interfering.

Next, the sorting operation when coins C are inserted into the input article sorting device 20 will be described.
First, when a 10-yen coin is introduced as the first coin C1 from the introduction hole 251 (see arrow 7A in FIG. 6), it cannot pass through the first carrier arm 27 as shown in FIG. 7A. For this reason, since the 10 yen coin is locked between the first carrier first arm 272 and the first carrier second arm 273, the first carrier arm 27 is shown in FIG. It rotates in the direction of the middle arrow 8A. As a result, the 10-yen coin is guided to the first path 31 (see arrow 7B in FIG. 6), dropped downward (see arrow 7C in FIG. 6), and then guided downward (arrow 7D in FIG. 6). The first lead-out hole 261.
On the other hand, when the 10-yen coin is removed, the first carrier arm 27 is rotated in the direction of the arrow 8B by the first weight 276 and returned to the origin position.

Next, a case where a 100 yen coin is inserted into the introduction hole 251 as the second coin C2 will be described. When a 100-yen coin is introduced from the introduction hole 251 (see arrow 7A in FIG. 6), as shown in FIG. 7B, the 100-yen coin passes through the first carrier arm 27 and reaches the inclined surface 29 (see FIG. 7). 6 (see arrow 7E). The 100 yen coin moves forward and downward along the intermediate path wall 321 between the inclined surface 29 and the inclined surface 36 (see arrow 7F in FIG. 6), and reaches the second carrier arm 37.

As shown in FIG. 8A, since the second carrier arm 37 does not pass a 100-yen coin, the 100-yen coin is locked between the second carrier first arm 372 and the second carrier second arm 373. The Then, the second carrier arm 37 is rotated in the direction of the arrow 9A in FIG. 8A by the weight of the 100 yen coin. As a result, the 100-yen coin is guided to the second path 33 (see arrow 7G in FIG. 6), falls, and is guided downward from the second outlet hole 262.

Next, a case where a 50 yen coin is inserted into the introduction hole 251 as the third coin C3 will be described. When a 50-yen coin is introduced from the introduction hole 251 (see arrow 7A in FIG. 6), the 50-yen coin passes through the first carrier arm 27 as shown in FIG. 6 (see arrow 7E). The 50-yen coin moves forward and downward along the intermediate path wall 321 between the inclined surface 29 and the inclined surface 36 and reaches the second carrier arm 37.
As shown in FIG. 8B, since the second carrier arm 37 passes a 50-yen coin, the 50-yen coin falls between the second carrier first arm 372 and the second carrier second arm 373 (FIG. 8B). (See arrow 7H in 6). Then, it is led downward from the third lead-out hole 263 via the third path 34.

Next, the input article detection device 40 will be described.
In the input article detection device 40, unless otherwise indicated, as shown in FIG. 3, “front”, “rear”, “upper”, “lower”, “left”, “right” are indicated. And
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 9, the input article detection device 40 selects the input first coin C1, the second coin C2, and the third coin C3 on the upstream side of the input article selection device 20 described above. A guide unit 41 for guiding the apparatus 20 is provided. In addition, at the downstream side of the input article sorting device 20, at least one of the first coin C1 and the second coin C2 sorted by the input article sorting device 20 is temporarily held and the sorted third coin is selected. It has the input article holding | maintenance part 50 which discharges | emits C3, and the operation | movement part 60 which performs operation which takes out the toy accommodated in the thing extraction apparatus 10. FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the guide part 41 has a rectangular cross section with an internal space, and has an insertion hole 411 for inserting a coin C into the upstream end. The insertion hole 411 is continuously provided with a guide path 412 that is inclined rearward to guide the inserted coin C. Further, at the lower end of the guide path 412, there is a discharge hole 413 for introducing the guided coin C into the introduction hole 251 of the input article sorting device 20. The guide path 412 has a first rolling surface 412A on the input hole 411 side and a second rolling surface 412B on the discharge hole 413 side, and the first rolling surface 412A and the second rolling surface 412B are in contact with each other. A swing member 43 is provided at the boundary.

The swing member 43 is supported by a swing shaft 431 orthogonal to the rolling direction of the coin C, and includes an upper portion 432 upstream from the swing shaft 431 and a lower portion 433 downstream from the swing shaft 431. Have. The lower part 433 is formed longer than the upper part 432. The upper portion 432 and the lower portion 433 are gently bent by the swing shaft 431 and have a “<” shape as a whole. In the upper part 432 and the lower part 433, the lower part becomes the same surface as the first rolling surface 412A or the second rolling surface 412B, and the rolling surfaces are continuous.
In addition, concave

swinging rolling surfaces

434 and 435 are formed on the rolling surfaces of the upper portion 432 and the lower portion 433, respectively.

Accordingly, when the coin C inserted from the insertion hole 411 rolls down on the first rolling surface 412A, first, the upper portion 432 of the swing member 43 is pushed down by the weight of the coin C.
Next, the coin C gets over the swing shaft 431, and the lower portion 433 is pushed down by the weight of the coin C. As a result, the upper portion 432 jumps up, but while the coin C is on the lower portion 433, it does not drop even if the coin C inserted next comes into contact with the upper portion 432. Stop it once.
Then, when the previous coin C passes the lower portion 433 and reaches the second rolling surface 412B, the upper portion 432 is lowered by the weight of the next coin C, so that the next coin C gets over the swing member 43.
For this reason, even when the coins C are continuously inserted, the coins C can be introduced into the input article sorting device 20 at regular intervals, and can be prevented from being clogged by continuous insertion.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 9, on the rear side of the guide portion 41, an input article sorting device locking portion 42 for detachably attaching the input article sorting device 20 to the input article detection device 40 is provided. . The input article sorting device locking portion 42 has a locking lever 422 that rotates about a central shaft 421, and has a locking claw 423 on the opposite side of the locking lever 422 with respect to the central shaft 421.

The input article holding unit 50 includes a first coin holding unit 51 that holds the first coin C1 on the left side of the input article detection device 40, and a second coin holding unit 52 that holds the second coin C2 on the right side. The first coin holding part 51 is located below the first outlet hole 261 of the input article sorting device 20, and the second coin holding part 52 is located below the second outlet hole 262 of the input article sorting apparatus 20 ( (See FIG. 4B). In addition, a return path 53 (see FIG. 3) is provided below the third outlet hole 263, and a return port 531 is opened at the front end of the return path 53.

Accordingly, the first coin C1 sorted by the input article sorting device 20 is held by the first coin holding unit 51, and the sorted second coin C2 is held by the second coin holding unit 52. The selected third coin C3 passes through the return path 53 and is discharged from the return port 531 to the coin tray 16 (see FIG. 1) without being held.
Since the first coin holding part 51 and the second coin holding part 52 are inclined forward and downward, the coin C guided to the inserted article holding part 50 is moved and held forward by the inclination.

As shown in FIG. 9, the first coin holding unit 51 includes a first support plate 511 that supports the circumferential surface of the first coin C1 to be held from below, and a first holding plate that holds the side surface of the first coin C1. 512.

That is, in the first support plate 511, the horizontal portion always supports the peripheral surface of the first coin C1, but when the horizontal portion is opened to the left outer side, the held first coin C1 falls. The dropped first coin C1 is stored in the coin storage part 54 (see FIG. 2). A first coin return port 516 (see FIG. 3) is opened in front of the first support plate 511.

The first holding plate 512 has an elongated rectangular plate shape, and is supported so that the upper end portion can be opened to the left outer side with the lower end portion as the center. The first holding plate 512 is provided with a groove portion 513 along the longitudinal direction in the center portion in the width direction (vertical direction in FIG. 9), and the groove portion 513 has a plurality of stoppers at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction. A recess 514 is provided. In addition, a stopper 515 is provided so as to be movable in the groove 513, and the stopper 515 is positioned in the groove 515 by fitting into any of the plurality of stopper recesses 514.
In the present embodiment, the predetermined distance between the stopper recesses 514 is substantially equal to the diameter of the first coin C1. Therefore, the number of first coins C1 held by the first coin holding part 51 is set according to the position of the stopper 515 in the groove part 515.

Note that, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, a first detection member 451 is provided on the rear side of the first holding plate 512. The first detection member 451 is supported so as to be rotatable around a rotation center 452. A first stopper member 461 is provided below the first detection member 451.

As shown in FIG. 3, the second coin holding part 52 includes a second support plate 521 that supports the peripheral surface of the second coin C2 to be held from below, and a second holding plate that holds the side surface of the second coin C2. 522.
The second support plate 521 is a member similar to the first support plate 511 of the first coin holding portion 51 described above, and supports the second coin C2 from below on the horizontal portion. The second support plate 521 is attached so that the horizontal portion can open to the right outside with the upper end of the vertical portion as the center. That is, in the second support plate 521, the horizontal portion normally supports the peripheral surface of the second coin C2 from the lower side, but when the horizontal portion is opened rightward, the held second coin C2 falls. . The dropped second coin C2 is stored in the coin storage part 54 (see FIG. 2).
Note that a second coin return port 526 is opened in front of the second support plate 521.

The second holding plate 522 is a member similar to the first holding plate 512 of the first coin holding portion 51 described above, and is supported so that the upper end portion can be opened rightward with the lower end portion as the center. The second holding plate 522 is provided with a groove 523 along the longitudinal direction at the center in the width direction, and the groove 523 is provided with a plurality of stopper recesses 524 at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction. . Further, a stopper 525 is provided so as to be movable in the groove 523, and the stopper 525 is positioned in the groove 525 by fitting into any of the plurality of stopper recesses 524.
In the present embodiment, the predetermined interval between the stopper recesses 524 is substantially equal to the diameter of the second coin C2. Accordingly, the number of second coins C2 held by the second coin holding part 52 is set according to the position of the stopper 525 in the groove part 525.

Note that, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, a second detection member 453 is provided on the rear side of the second holding plate 522. The second detection member 453 is supported so as to be rotatable around a rotation center 454. A second stopper member 462 is provided below the second detection member 453.

The first holding plate 512 and the second holding plate 522 are normally closed, and

stoppers

515 and 525 protrude into the space for storing the coin C to restrict the number of coins C to be held. The first holding plate 512 and the second holding plate 522 are connected to the return lever 17 by the return mechanism 171 (see FIG. 9), and when the return lever 17 is operated (pressed), the first holding plate 512 and the second holding plate The upper end of the plate 522 is opened.

Moreover, since the

stoppers

515 and 525 protruding into the coin C receiving space are attached to the first holding plate 512 and the second holding plate 522, the upper ends of the first holding plate 512 and the second holding plate 522 are opened. Accordingly, the coin C that is held rolls forward and downward on the first support plate 511 and the second support plate 521, and the first coin return port. It is discharged from 516 or the second coin return port 526. The discharged coin C is discharged to the coin tray 16 and returned. Since the return lever 17 is biased so as to protrude by a spring, when the hand is released from the return lever 17, the return lever 17 returns to the origin position where the return lever 17 protrudes, and the first support plate 511 and the second support plate 521. Closes the top edge of.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 9, when at least one of the first coin C1 and the second coin C2 held by the input article holding unit 50 reaches a predetermined number behind the input article holding unit 50 The rotary handle 71 is rotatable. The rotary handle part 70 constitutes a part of the operating part 60.

As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 12 (A), and FIG. 12 (B), the rotary handle 71 has a disc member 72 that is a ratchet gear and a guide plate 75. As shown in FIG. 12A, a pawl 44 for preventing reverse rotation of the disc member 72 is provided outside the disc member 72. The pawl 44 is supported so as to be rotatable about a rotation shaft 441, and an end portion on the side far from the disk member 72 is urged in the direction of arrow A by a spring 442. Thereby, since the front-end | tip part of the pawl 44 is pressed against the disc member 72 side, the reverse rotation (counterclockwise rotation) of the disc member 72 can be prevented.

The disk member 72 and the guide plate 75 are connected by bolts or the like, and rotate integrally around a central shaft 711 provided in the horizontal direction. Accordingly, the guide plate 75 is also prevented from rotating counterclockwise. The guide plate 75 has a first projecting plate (first projecting portion) 73 and a second projecting plate (second projecting portion) 74 on both left and right surfaces (upper and lower surfaces in FIG. 12B). The first protruding plate 73 is located behind the first coin holding portion 51, and the second protruding plate 74 is located behind the second coin holding portion 52.

The first projecting plate 73 and the second projecting plate 74 are supported so as to be slidable in the radial direction of the guide plate 75, and can be projected and retracted outside the guide plate 75.

Springs

76 and 77 are respectively provided at one end sides of the first projecting plate 73 and the second projecting plate 74, and the other end side is always urged in a direction projecting from the guide plate 75. The first projecting plate 73 and the second projecting plate 74 are provided in a first detection member 451 and a second detection member 453 that are rotatably provided behind the first coin holding part 51 by the rotation of the rotary handle 71, respectively. (See FIGS. 13A and 13B).

As shown in FIG. 13A, when the predetermined number of first coins C1 is not held in the first coin holding part 51, the first protruding plate 73 is detected in the first direction as the rotary handle 71 rotates. When contacting the member 451, the first detection member 451 rotates in a direction away from the rotary handle 71 (in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 13A).
For this reason, since the rotary handle 71 rotates with the first protruding plate 73 protruding, the first protruding plate 73 contacts the first stopper member 461 and the rotation of the rotary handle 71 is prevented (FIG. 13A). ) Indicated by solid line).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13B, when the predetermined number of first coins C1 is held in the first coin holding part 51, the setting is made such that the stopper 515 is attached to the top and the first coin C1 is not used. If it is, the first detection member 451 is prevented from rotating by the first coin C1 or the stopper 515.
For this reason, when the first protrusion plate 73 comes into contact with the first detection member 451 as the rotation handle 71 rotates, the first protrusion plate 73 rotates along the first detection member 451. It sinks toward the axis 711 direction. As a result, the first protruding plate 73 does not come into contact with the first stopper member 461, so that the rotary handle 71 can be rotated.

It should be noted that the second coin holding unit 52 side operates in the same manner as the first coin holding unit 51 side described above. That is, when the predetermined number of second coins C <b> 2 is not held by the second coin holding part 52, the second protrusion plate 74 contacts the second stopper member 462, and thus the rotation handle 71 is prevented from rotating. . Further, when a predetermined number of second coins C2 are held in the second coin holding part 52, or when the stopper 525 is attached to the uppermost part and the second coin C2 is not used, the second protrusion Since the plate 74 does not come into contact with the second stopper member 462, the rotary handle 71 can be rotated.

As described above, when the first projecting plate 73 and the second projecting plate 74 are separately movable (individual operation state), one of the first coin holding unit 51 and the second coin holding unit 52 has a predetermined coin. If the number is insufficient, the rotary handle 71 cannot be rotated.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14, when the first projecting plate 73 and the second projecting plate 74 are coupled by the coupling mechanism 78 and interlocked (linked state), the first coin holding portion 51 and the second projecting plate When one of the two coin holding portions 52 reaches a predetermined number of coins, the rotary handle 71 can be rotated. For example, when coins and tokens are used in combination, the rotating handle 71 can be rotated when the coins or tokens reach a predetermined number by setting the interlocking state.

The connecting mechanism 78 includes, for example, a connecting member 781 attached to the first projecting plate 73 and an overall U-shaped fixing member 782 attached to the surface of the second projecting plate 74 on the first projecting plate 73 side so as to be rotatable. And a fixing screw 783. The fixing member 782 is positioned at the tip of the connecting member 781. When the first projecting plate 73 and the second projecting plate 74 are connected, as shown in FIG. 14, the pair of side walls 784 of the fixing member 782 are arranged before and after the connecting member 781 (the sliding direction of the second projecting plate 74. ), The fixing member 782 is rotated with respect to the second protruding plate 74 and is fixed by a fixing screw 783.

On the other hand, when the first projecting plate 73 and the second projecting plate 74 are individually moved, as shown in FIG. 15, the pair of side walls 784 of the fixing member 782 are left and right (second projecting plate) of the connecting member 781. The fixing member 782 is rotated with respect to the second projecting plate 74 so as to be positioned in a direction orthogonal to the sliding direction of 74 and fixed with a fixing screw 783. Accordingly, when the first projecting plate 73 or the second projecting plate 74 is relatively moved, the tip of the connecting member 781 passes between the pair of side walls 784 of the fixing member 782, thereby fixing the first projecting plate 73 or the second projecting plate 74. Since the member 782 and the connecting member 781 are relatively movable, the first projecting plate 73 and the second projecting plate 74 are individually movable.
Thereby, the rotation handle part 70 can select the interlocking state in which the first projecting plate 73 and the second projecting plate 74 are interlocked and the individual operation state in which the first operation plate operates individually.

As shown in FIG. 16, the guide plate 75 has an overall circular shape, and an inclined surface 751 is provided on the counterclockwise side of the first projecting plate 73 and the second projecting plate 74 so as to project outward.
Accordingly, when the rotary handle 71 is rotatable, the inclined surface 751 opens the lower surface of the first support plate 511 of the first coin holding part 51 and the lower surface of the second support plate 521 of the second coin holding part 52 (illustrated). The coin C is dropped. The inclined surface 751 continues to a convex portion 752 that protrudes outward in a counterclockwise direction. While the convex portion 752 is in contact with the opening mechanism, the lower surfaces of the first support plate 511 and the second support plate 521 are open, and the coin C is dropped. And before the 1st protrusion plate 73 and the 2nd protrusion plate 74 contact | abut to the 1st detection member 451 and the 2nd detection member 453 again, the convex part 752 is complete | finished, and the 1st support plate 511 and the 2nd support plate The lower surface of 521 is closed, and the coin C can be held.

As shown in FIG. 3, a lever 80 is provided on the rear side of the disk member 72, and the disk member 72 is moved over a protrusion (not shown) provided on the disk member 72. A certain amount of resistance is applied to the rotation, and a clicking sound is generated when the protrusion is overcome.
A second bevel gear 79 is attached in front of the disc member 72 (left side in FIG. 3), and the disc member 72 and the second bevel gear 79 rotate integrally. The second bevel gear 79 meshes with the first bevel gear 65 attached to the intermediate shaft 64 of the operation unit 60 described above.

Next, the operation of taking out the stored item A of the stored item extracting apparatus 10 will be described.
A predetermined coin C is inserted from a coin insertion slot 113 provided on the front surface of the stored item removal apparatus 10. The coin C is introduced from the introduction hole 251 of the input article sorting device 20 through the guide portion 41 of the input article detection device 40. As described above, in the input article sorting device 20, the first coin C1, the second coin C2, and the third coin C3 are sorted, and the first coin C1 is held by the first coin holding unit 51, and the second coin C2 is selected. Is held by the second coin holding unit 52. The third coin C3 is discharged to the coin tray.

When a predetermined number of predetermined coins C are inserted, the purchaser turns the take-out handle 61 on the front side of the stored-item take-out device 10 clockwise. As described above, the take-out handle 61 is connected to the second bevel gear 79 through the main shaft body 62, the gear group 63, the intermediate shaft 64, and the first bevel gear 65, and the rotary handle 71 (that is, the second bevel gear). Only when 79) is rotatable, the take-out handle 61 can also be rotated.
For this reason, when a predetermined number of coins C are inserted and held, the rotary handle 71 can be rotated. Therefore, when the take-out handle 61 is rotated, the rotary base 14 rotates and the storage case is rotated. The stored item A stored in the storage unit 12 is discharged to the stored item outlet 15. Further, as the take-out handle 61 rotates, it comes into contact with an opening mechanism that opens the convex portion 752 of the guide plate 75, so that the first support plate 511 of the first coin holding portion 51 and the second support of the second coin holding portion 52. The lower surface of the plate 521 is opened, and the first coin C1 held by the first coin holder 51 and the second coin C2 held by the second coin holder 52 are dropped and accommodated in the coin reservoir 54. Is done.

On the other hand, when the predetermined number of coins C are not inserted, the rotary handle 71 cannot be rotated, and therefore the take-out handle 61 cannot be rotated. For this reason, the contents A cannot be taken out.
In such a case or when it is desired to cancel the purchase after inserting the coin C, the inserted coin C can be discharged to the coin tray 16 by pushing the return lever 17.

In order to purchase either coins or tokens, the first projecting plate 73 and the second projecting plate are connected by connecting the first projecting plate 73 and the second projecting plate 74 of the rotary handle portion 70 with a coupling mechanism 78. 74 is moved together.
Thereby, if only a predetermined number of coins or tokens are inserted, the contents A can be taken out.

Next, the operation and effect of the input article sorting device, the input article detection device, and the stored item extraction device according to the present embodiment will be described.

In the input article sorting apparatus 20 according to the present embodiment, among the first coin C1, the second coin C2, and the third coin C3 inserted from the introduction hole 251, the first path 31 communicating with the first lead-out hole 261 is connected to the first path 31. A first carrier arm 27 for guiding one coin C1 and guiding the second coin C2 and the third coin C3 to the intermediate path 32 is provided. A second carrier arm 37 for guiding the second coin C2 to the second path 33 communicating with the second lead-out hole 262 and guiding the third coin C3 to the third path 34 communicating with the third lead-out hole 263 is provided. The intermediate path 32 is provided.
For this reason, the coin C can be selected mechanically, and the structure can be simplified.

Further, in the inserted article detection device 40 according to the present embodiment, the first coin C1, the second coin C2, and the third coin C3 are inserted from the insertion hole 411 of the guide portion 41, and are discharged through the guide path 412. 413 is discharged. Since the input article sorting device 20 described above is provided on the downstream side of the guide portion 41, the coin C can be sorted mechanically.
In addition, an input article holding unit 50 and a rotary handle unit 70 are provided on the downstream side of the input article sorting device 20. The input article holding unit 50 temporarily holds at least one of the first coin C1 and the second coin C2, and at least one of the held first coin C1 and second coin C2 is predetermined. When the number is reached, the rotary handle 71 of the rotary handle 70 can be rotated.
