Coin processing device

Abstract

The present invention provides a coin processing device that can smoothly restore the handling and sorting sections even if coins become jammed. [Solution] A coin processing device 100 is provided, comprising: a sorting unit 110 for receiving coins 10 and dispensing them one by one; a sorting unit 120 for receiving coins one by one from the sorting unit, moving the coins along an arc, determining the type of coin or medal, and guiding them to a path for each type; a common drive motor 106 for supplying driving force to the sorting unit and the sorting unit; and a computer 190 for reversing the rotation of the motor when the rotation of the sorting unit stops. The sorting unit stops while the sorting unit is rotating in reverse.

Claims

1. A processing unit that accepts coins and dispenses them one by one, A sorting unit receives the coins one by one from the processing unit, moves the coins along an arc, determines the type of coin or medal, and guides them to a path corresponding to their type. A common motor that provides driving force to the processing unit and the sorting unit, The system includes a computer that reverses the rotation of the motor when the rotation of the processing unit stops, A coin processing device in which the sorting unit stops while the processing unit is rotating in reverse.

2. The coin processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein when the motor resumes forward rotation, the sorting unit and the processing unit resume forward rotation.

3. The coin processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein a ratchet mechanism is provided on the drive shaft of the sorting unit, so that the sorting unit is stopped while the sorting unit is rotating in reverse, and when the motor resumes forward rotation, the forward rotation of the sorting unit resumes.

4. The coin processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the interval at which the ratchet mechanism engages is configured to match the interval at which the coins are transported in the sorting section.

5. The coin processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein a time lag mechanism is provided in the transmission path from the motor to the drive shaft of the sorting unit, so that when the motor resumes forward rotation, the sorting unit starts forward rotation first, and then the sorting unit starts forward rotation later.

6. The coin processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the time lag mechanism is configured such that when the motor resumes forward rotation, the sorting unit rotates forward for a longer period than the transport interval before the processing unit begins to rotate forward.
