[0008] [First embodiment] <Overall configuration of coin handling device 100> First, the overall configuration of a coin processing device 100 according to this embodiment will be described. Fig. 1 is an external view of the coin processing device 100 according to this embodiment. Referring to Fig. 1, the coin processing device 100 is made up of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped housing 101, with a coin insertion slot 102 provided on the top surface and a coin ejection slot (described later) provided on the front surface.

[0009] Fig. 2 is a side cross-sectional view showing the overall internal structure of the coin processing device 100 in a state where the bucket 160 according to this embodiment is raised. Fig. 3 is a side cross-sectional view showing the overall internal structure of the coin processing device 100 in a state where the bucket 160 according to this embodiment is lowered. With reference to Figs. 2 and 3, the coin processing device 100 is provided at its upper part with an identifying and sorting unit 109 for feeding coins one by one, identifying them, and sorting and feeding them out by type. A storing and dispensing unit 140 is provided at its lower part for storing and dispensing coins by type.

[0010] In this embodiment, the storing and dispensing section 140 includes an upper storage unit 141 for four denominations and a lower storage unit 142 for four denominations. In this embodiment, the upper storage unit 141 and the lower storage unit 142 can be removed with the front wall of the coin processing device 100 removed.

[0011] The coin processing device 100 according to this embodiment is provided with a control unit 190 at the lower end of the identifying and sorting unit 109. The control unit 190 is provided with a microcomputer and various communication interfaces for controlling each unit of the coin processing device 100. The microcomputer includes a CPU, various memories, etc.

[0012] Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the identifying and sorting unit 109 with the upper cover 101A according to this embodiment removed. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the identifying and sorting unit 109 with the upper cover 101A according to this embodiment removed. With reference to Figs. 4 and 5, the inserted coins are sent one by one to the sorting unit 120 by the sorting unit 110. The configuration for sending the coins one by one from the sorting unit 110 to the sorting unit 120 will be described later.

[0013] The sorting unit 120 identifies the type of each of the multiple coins using the recognition unit 1330, and sends the coin to a first conveying path 1311 formed outside the sorting unit 120, a second conveying path 1312 formed inside the sorting unit 120, a third conveying path 1313 formed outside the sorting unit 120, a fourth conveying path 1314 formed inside the sorting unit 120, or a fourth conveying path 1315 formed outside the sorting unit 120. The waste paper is sent to a fifth conveying path 1315 formed inside the sorting section 120, a sixth conveying path 1316 formed inside the sorting section 120, a seventh conveying path 1317 formed outside the sorting section 120, an eighth conveying path 1318 formed inside the sorting section 120, an overflow conveying path 1319 formed outside the sorting section 120, or a reject conveying path 1320 formed outside the sorting section 120.

[0014] 2 to 5, coins sent to the first conveying path 1311, the third conveying path 1313, the fifth conveying path 1315, and the seventh conveying path 1317 outside the sorting section 120 are accumulated in predetermined storage spaces of the lower storage unit 142 by denomination. More specifically, coins sent to the first conveying path 1311 are sent to the rightmost storage space of the lower storage unit 142 when viewed from the front. Coins sent to the third conveying path 1313 are sent to the second storage space from the right of the lower storage unit 142. Coins sent to the fifth conveying path 1315 are sent to the second storage space from the left of the lower storage unit 142. Coins sent to the seventh conveying path 1317 are sent to the leftmost storage space of the lower storage unit 142.

[0015] Furthermore, coins sent to the second conveying path 1312, fourth conveying path 1314, sixth conveying path 1316, and eighth conveying path 1318 inside the sorting section 120 are accumulated in predetermined storage spaces of the upper storage unit 141 according to their denominations. More specifically, coins sent to the second conveying path 1312 are sent to the rightmost storage space of the upper storage unit 141 when viewed from the front. Coins sent to the fourth conveying path 1314 are sent to the second storage space from the right of the upper storage unit 141. Coins sent to the sixth conveying path 1316 are sent to the second storage space from the left of the upper storage unit 141. Coins sent to the eighth conveying path 1318 are sent to the leftmost storage space of the upper storage unit 141.

[0016] Referring to FIG. 2, in the coin processing device 100 according to this embodiment, when dispensing coins, the bucket 160 is lowered to the bottom end in accordance with a command from the control unit 190. Next, in accordance with an instruction from the control unit 190, a specified number of coins stocked in each storage space are ejected forward. More specifically, coins accumulated in the upper storage unit 141 are sent forward by the conveyor belt 154 driven in accordance with a command from the control unit 190, and fall onto the upper surface of the bucket 160. Similarly, coins accumulated in the lower storage unit 142 are sent forward by the conveyor belt 154 driven in accordance with a command from the control unit 190, and fall onto the upper surface of the bucket 160. Finally, as shown in FIG. 3, the bucket 160 containing the coins is raised, and the coins are ejected from the front. <Configuration of Identification and Selection Unit 109>

[0017] Next, the configuration of the identifying and sorting unit 109 at the top of the coin processing device 100 will be described in detail. As described above, with reference to Figures 4 and 5, the identifying and sorting unit 109 mainly includes a sorting unit 110 and a sorting unit 120. The sorting unit 110 is arranged on the front side, i.e., the front part, of the coin processing device 100, and is used to send coins that are successively inserted through the coin insertion slot 102 one by one to the sorting unit 120. The sorting unit 120 is arranged on the back side, i.e., the rear part, of the coin processing device 100, and is used to identify the type of coin sent from the sorting unit 110 and send it to a transport path according to its type. <Configuration of the separating unit 110>

[0018] The separating unit 110 will be described below with reference to Figures 5, 6, and 7. The separating unit 110 is provided with a circular base 111 and a cylindrical side wall 112. An intake turntable 113 driven by a motor 106 is disposed on the upper surface of the base 111. A plurality of holes 113X into which coins fit are formed in the intake turntable 113. In this embodiment, three holes 113X are formed. That is, the holes 113X are formed at 120° intervals around the drive shaft. The intake turntable 113 is driven by a motor described later, and pushes the coins that have fit into the holes 113X outward one by one from an outlet 112X at the rear of the side wall 112, sending them to the separating unit 120. More specifically, the coin rotates clockwise in a plan view in accordance with the movement of the hole 113X of the intake turntable 113, and when it hits the multiple guide pins 114, 114..., it is pushed backward along the arrangement of the multiple guide pins 114, 114..., i.e., outward from the side wall 112.

[0019] In this embodiment, the height of the guide pins 114, 114... that protrude above the surface of the base 111 is set lower than the thinnest coin that the device is designed to handle. For example, it is set to about 1 mm. As a result, even if two coins are stacked in the hole 113X of the intake turntable 113, the upper coin will not collide with the guide pins 114, 114... but will be pushed back toward the side wall 112 and the inside of the hole 113X. As a result, even if two coins are stacked in the hole 113X of the intake turntable 113, only the bottom coin will be pushed by the guide pins 114, 114..., pushing the exit biasing member upward and rearward and being discharged into the sorting section 120. <Configuration of the sorting unit 120>

[0020] Next, the sorting unit 120 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. The sorting unit 120 is provided with a circular base 121. A conveying rotor 123 driven by a motor 106 is disposed above the base 121. A plurality of conveying pins 123X, 123X... are formed on the conveying rotor 123 to push coins forward from behind. In this embodiment, five conveying pins 123X, 123X... are formed. That is, the conveying pins 123X, 123X... are attached at 72° intervals around the axis of the conveying rotor 123. The conveying rotor 123 is driven by the drive motor 106 to slide coins one by one counterclockwise in a plan view along the side wall 122 around the base 121. That is, in this embodiment, the sorting unit 120 can simultaneously convey and send out up to five coins to a conveying path.

[0021] The recognition unit 1330 determines whether the coin is genuine or not and identifies the coin's type by measuring the diameter, thickness, surface irregularities, back irregularities, electrical resistance, etc., of the coins sent by the conveying pins 123X. The recognition unit 1330 sends the determination results and identification results to the microcomputer of the control unit 190. In this embodiment, the memory of the microcomputer stores the conveyance path or the location of the storage case for each coin type. Based on the determination results and identification results, the control unit 190 drives the motors and solenoids on the base 121 to convey the coin to a reject path or to a conveyance path or storage location corresponding to the coin's type. As described above, the coin processing device 100 according to this embodiment conveys four types of coins toward the outside of the circular sorting unit 120 and four types of coins toward the bottom of the circular sorting unit 120, thereby enabling compact sorting and conveyance of multiple types of coins. <Drive Mechanism of the Separating Unit 110 and the Sorting Unit 120>

[0022] Next, the drive mechanisms of the sorting unit 110 and the sorting unit 120 will be described. As shown in Fig. 6, the drive force of the drive motor 106 is transmitted to the intake rotation shaft 1131 of the intake turntable 113 of the sorting unit 110 via a plurality of gear groups 107, i.e., a gear reduction unit. In this embodiment, the drive force of the drive motor 106 is also provided to the conveying rotor 123 between the gear group 107 and the intake rotation shaft 1131. More specifically, the drive force of the drive motor 106 is also transmitted to the conveying rotation shaft 1231 of the conveying rotor 123 via a timing belt 1239 and a first pulley 1084 coaxial with the common shaft 1081 of a middle gear 1082 arranged at the rearmost end of the gear group 107.

[0023] That is, in this embodiment, the driving force of one drive motor 106 is used to simultaneously drive the take-in turntable 113 of the sorting section 110 and the conveying rotor 123 of the sorting section 120.

[0024] More specifically, a middle gear 1082 for receiving the driving force from the gear group 107 is fixed to the middle portion of the common shaft 1081. A first pulley 1084 is fixed to the upper portion of the common shaft 1081. The driving force transmitted to the first pulley 1084 is transmitted to a second pulley 1284 via a timing belt 1239, and then to the conveying rotation shaft 1231. Meanwhile, a time lag gear 1083 is loosely fitted to the lower portion of the common shaft 1081. The driving force of the middle gear 1082 is transmitted to the time lag gear 1083, and thereby the driving force is transmitted to the separation gear 1135 and the take-in rotation shaft 1131.

[0025] In particular, in this embodiment, the timing at which coins are sent out by the rotation of intake turntable 113 of handling unit 110 corresponds to the timing at which transport pins 123X of transport rotor 123 of sorting unit 120 start to send coins. As described above, intake turntable 113 of handling unit 110 has three holes 113X, 113X, 113X, and transport rotor 123 of sorting unit 120 has five transport pins 123X, 123X, 123X, 123X, 123X. Therefore, the number of teeth of the middle gear 1082 and time lag gear 1083 of the common shaft 1081, the diameter of the first pulley 1084, the number of teeth of the handling gear 1135 of the intake rotation shaft 1131, and the diameter of the second pulley 1284 of the conveying rotation shaft 1231 are set so that the conveying rotation body 123 of the sorting section 120 rotates 72° while the intake turntable 113 of the sorting section 110 rotates 120°.

[0026] As described above, in the coin processing device 100 according to this embodiment, coins inserted through the coin insertion slot 102 are sorted one by one by the sorting unit 110 and sent to the sorting unit 120. The three holes 113X, 113X, 113X of the take-in turntable 113 and the five transport pins 123X, 123X, 123X, 123X, 123X of the transport rotor 123 of the sorting unit 120 are configured to rotate in sync with each other to transfer coins. The coins sent to the sorting unit 120 are then judged by the recognition unit 1330 as to their authenticity, denomination, etc., and are then transported to the respective transport paths based on the results of the judgment. <Structure for sending each sheet from the separating section to the sorting section>

[0027] In the following, with regard to this embodiment, a mechanism for smoothly transferring coins from the handling unit 110 to the transport pins 123X of the sorting unit 120 will be described.

[0028] As shown in Fig. 8, in this embodiment, a discharge lever 117 is provided at the coin outlet of the handling unit 110. The discharge lever 117 is biased from the outside toward the inside in a direction to close the outlet of the handling unit 110. In this embodiment, the coin rotates clockwise in a plan view in accordance with the movement of the hole 113X of the intake turntable 113, and when it hits the multiple guide pins 114, 114..., it pushes the discharge lever 117 aside against the biasing force of the discharge lever 117 and is pushed out toward the rear of the device, i.e., toward the outside of the side wall 112, along the arrangement of the multiple guide pins 114, 114...

[0029] In this embodiment, the outermost guide pin 114X, i.e., the guide pin 114X located furthest to the rear, is disposed outside the sorting unit 110. In other words, it is disposed between the sorting unit 110 and the sorting unit 120. Unlike the other guide pins 114, this guide pin 114X may not slide up and down, or may be a member that is taller than the other guide pins 114.

[0030] On the other hand, a first lever 151 for pushing back coins is provided in the coin receiving portion of the sorting unit 120. The lever 151 is disposed on the upper surface of the base 121, and is located to the left of the outermost guide pin 114X. In other words, the rotation shaft 151X and the lever body 151Y of the lever 151 are disposed upstream of the closest position to the outermost guide pin 114X of the separating unit 110 in the path of the conveying pin 123X. The lever 151 is biased in a direction to close the entrance of the sorting unit 120, i.e., in an outward direction, i.e., in a direction to rotate forward.

[0031] As a result, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9 , when a coin 10 is pushed out from the separating unit 110, the first lever 151 of the separating unit 120 is configured to push back the coin 10. As a result, even if a coin 10 is forcefully sent from the separating unit 110 to the separating unit 120, the first lever 151 can push back the coin 10 and press it against the outermost guide pin 114X or the side wall of the separating unit 110. In other words, even if a coin 10 sent from the separating unit 110 is forcefully sent into the separating unit 120, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the coin 10 will go too far inside the separating unit 120 or go too far inside the path through which the conveying pin 123X passes.

[0032] 10, in this embodiment, coins 10 delivered to the sorting unit 120 are conveyed by the conveying pins 123X while being pressed against the outer peripheral surface by the guide lever 129. Even if the next coin 10 is forcefully sent from the handling unit 110 to the sorting unit 120 at the same time that the previous coin 10 is being conveyed by the conveying pins 123X while being pressed against the outer peripheral surface by the guide lever 129, the first lever 151 can press the coin 10 against the outermost guide pin 114X or the side wall of the handling unit 110. In other words, even while the previous coin 10 is pushing aside the guide lever 129, the coin 10 from the handling unit 110 is likely to stop at a preferred standby position in the path of the conveying pins 123X. In other words, even if coins 10 from the sorting section 110 are sent forcefully into the sorting section 120, the possibility of them going too far inside the sorting section 120 or going too far inside the path through which the transport pins 123X pass can be reduced.

[0033] As described above, the coin processing device 100 according to this embodiment can smoothly transfer coins 10 one by one from the handling unit 110 to the transport pins 123X of the sorting unit 120 at appropriate positions. [Second embodiment]

[0034] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 11, a second lever 152 for measuring the diameter of a coin is provided in an area of ​​the sorting unit 120 that receives coins from the handling unit 110. A rotation axis 152X of the second lever 152 is provided coaxially with a rotation axis 151X of the first lever 151. The rotation axis 152X of the second lever 152 and the main body 152Y are provided below the conveying and rotating base 121, and a coin contact portion 152Z provided at the other end of the main body 152Y protrudes above the conveying and rotating base 121. The first lever 151 is disposed on the upper surface of the conveying and rotating base 121.

[0035] The second lever 152 is also biased in a direction to push outward coins from the separating section 110, but the biasing force is weak in order to improve the accuracy of measuring the coin diameter. More specifically, the biasing force of the second lever 152 is intended to return the second lever 152 itself to a position close to the outer periphery of the sorting section 120, and is not intended to push the coins outward. In other words, the biasing force of the second lever 152 is adjusted to be weak in order to accurately measure the coin diameter. Conversely, because the first lever 151 is intended to push back coins outward, the biasing force of the first lever 151 toward the outside is configured to be stronger than the biasing force of the second lever 152 toward the outside.

[0036] 12, in this embodiment, when a coin 10 is pushed out from the handling section 110, the second lever 152 is pushed backward by the coin 10, while the first lever 151 pushes back the coin 10. As a result, even if a coin 10 from the handling section 110 is sent forcefully into the sorting section 120, the diameter of the coin 10 can be accurately measured via the second lever 152, and the first lever 151 can press the coin 10 against the outermost guide pin 114X or the side wall of the handling section 110. In other words, the coin 10 from the handling section 110 is more likely to stop at a preferred standby position in the path of the transport pin 123X. In other words, even if coins 10 from the separating section 110 are forcefully sent into the sorting section 120, the diameter of the coins 10 can be accurately measured while reducing the possibility of the coins 10 going too far inside the sorting section 120 or going too far inside the path taken by the conveying pin 123X.

[0037] In this embodiment, the coin 10 delivered to the sorting unit 120 is transported by the transport pins 123X while being pressed against the outer circumferential surface by the guide lever 129, but as shown in Fig. 13, even if the next coin 10 is sent vigorously from the handling unit 110 to the sorting unit 120 at the same time that the previous coin 10 is being transported by the transport pins 123X while being pressed against the outer circumferential surface by the guide lever 129, the first lever 151 can press the coin 10 against the outermost guide pin 114X or the side wall of the handling unit 110. In other words, the coin 10 from the handling unit 110 is more likely to stop at a preferred standby position in the path of the transport pins 123X. In other words, even if a coin 10 from the handling section 110 is sent forcefully into the sorting section 120, the possibility of the coin 10 going too far inside the sorting section 120 or going too far inside the path through which the conveying pin 123X passes can be reduced.

[0038] More specifically, if only the second lever 152 for diameter measurement is provided, i.e., the first lever 151 is not provided, as shown in Figure 13, when the next coin 10 is sent into the sorting section 120 while the previous coin 10 is being pressed by the guide lever 129, the second lever 152 is likely to be pushed further back than necessary, making it difficult to accurately measure the diameter of the second coin 10.

[0039] However, in this embodiment, that is, when the first lever 151 is provided, even if the next coin 10 is sent into the sorting section 120 while the previous coin 10 is being pressed by the guide lever 129, as shown in Figure 14, the first lever 151 pushes back the next coin 10, preventing the second lever 152 from being pushed back more than necessary, making it easier to accurately measure the diameter of the next coin 10. <Summary>
