Description

The present invention relates to a coin storage cylinder overflow device.

(B) Conventional technology This type of conventional device is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 51-153691, in which the entire weight of coins stored in a coin storage cylinder is hung on a coin discharge plate. The operation of discharging the discharge plate may be hindered by losing the load of the coin weight. In order to prevent this, the inside of the coin storage cylinder is divided into two stages of coin storage rooms, and coins of a predetermined amount or more slide on the top coin surface and overflow to another passage, and the load of the coin weight on the discharge plate exceeds a predetermined value There is known a structure not to be applied.

Furthermore, in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 54-51898, if a predetermined number of coins are stored in the coin storage cylinder by providing an inclined rocking plate above the coin storage cylinder, the more coins are tilted as described above. There is also known a system in which an introduction port into a coin storage cylinder is closed by a rocking plate and guided to an overflow passage side.

(C) Problems to be solved by the invention However, in any of the above overflow devices,
It is not designed to make effective use of the coin storage cylinder.

In other words, in the case of Japanese Utility Model No. 51-153691, coins in the coin storage cylinder are stacked obliquely from the middle due to the load of coins on the coin discharge plate, and coins are stored neatly in the entire coin storage cylinder. Not configured. In addition, 54
Even though coins are piled up in the case of −51898, the coin overflow state is formed, again, with a few coins remaining in the coin storage cylinder, tilted and tilted Because of the structure operated by coins leaning on the moving plate, the coins could not be packed to the full mouth of the coin storage cylinder.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and has been described in view of the above. It is intended to provide a device.

(D) Means for Solving the Problems The coin storage cylinder overflow device of the present invention is provided with a coin slide below the coin passage, and is pivotally supported so that the tip end is in contact with the coin slide. A position for closing the gap and a position for opening are provided, and a protruding portion is provided on the back side of the rear end portion, the front end portion is always in the open position, and the leading edge of the coin falling down the slide is at the protruding portion. After being temporarily received, the coin is dropped and stored horizontally in the coin storage case, while the protrusion is pushed by the edge of the horizontal coin stored at the uppermost end when the coin storage case is full. An inclined rocking plate is provided in which the tip is rotated to the closed position and coins sliding down the slide are passed through the surface and guided to the overflow passage.

(E) Action By configuring as described above, each coin falling on the slide along the lower surface is changed from the inclined state to the horizontal state by the projection formed at the rear end of the inclined rocking plate. Since the coins are dropped into the coin storage cylinder, the coins can be stored horizontally in the coin storage cylinder so as to fill the entire cylinder. Therefore, the number of stored coins can be increased. In addition, coins that press the protrusion of the inclined rocking plate to operate it in the overflow state are also made in a horizontal state at the top of the coin storage cylinder, so this operating force is strong and the overflow state is stable And it can be maintained reliably.

(F) Embodiment FIG. 1 is an overall external view of an overflow device according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 to 4 are cross-sectional views showing the operating state, respectively. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view when coins are introduced, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view when coins are stored, and FIG. FIG. 1 is a coin sorter, 2 is a coin passage formed by the elevated sorter 1 and a side wall 3 which is a part of the coin sorter. Reference numeral 4 denotes a coin storage cylinder for storing genuine coins sorted by the coin sorter 1 and sorted by denomination, as shown in FIG.
There are 100 yen and three. Reference numeral 5 denotes a coin slide that is disposed between the coin sorter 1 and the coin storage cylinder 4 as shown in FIGS. The slide 5 serves to guide coins which are sorted by the coin sorter 1 and fall vertically in the coin passage 2 into an oblique state, and slide down to the coin storage cylinder 4. More specifically, the slide 5 extends the upper end 5a to the end 3a of the side wall 3 so that coins can be received from the coin passage 2, while the lower end 5b secures the sliding coin M into the coin storage cylinder 4. Coin storage tube 4 on both end walls to guide
And the coin M stored in the coin storage cylinder inside or at the center of the both end wall portions while extending to about 1/2 in the diameter direction of the coin M.
Has a semicircular cutout 5c slightly larger than the diameter of the notch 5c. As shown in FIG. 1, the slide 5 is provided above the coin storage tube 4 and formed on the inner surface of a U-shaped fixed wall 7 having a partition wall 6 for partitioning each coin storage tube 4. Have been. 8 is the back wall 4a of the coin storage tube 4.
And an overflow passage formed by the housing wall 9 which is a part of the coin sorting device main body, and has a positional relationship opposite to the coin passage 2 in the opposite direction. Reference numeral 10 denotes the above-described inclined rocking plate. The inclined rocking plate 10 has a substantially rectangular shape as a whole, and a portion slightly below its intermediate position is rotatably supported by a shaft 11 so that coins It is installed so as to face the coin inlet 12 of the storage cylinder 4 and the overflow passage 8. The inclined rocking plates 10 are provided in the same number as the coin storage cylinders, each of which is mounted in a row on a shaft 11 supported on the fixed wall 7 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the leading end 10b is deviated from the surface of the slide 5 for coins so that a coin receiving slot 13 is formed between them, as shown in FIG. 14
Is a projection provided at the lower end of the inclined rocking plate 10;
At the time of the oddity of 10, the front end of the coin M that slightly protrudes into the storage cylinder 4 from the notch 15 formed at the upper end of the rear wall 4a of the coin storage cylinder 4 and slides on the slide 5 The edge is received in a collision state as shown in FIG. 2 and the inclined rocking plate 10 is momentarily rocked counterclockwise by this collision force, but still continues to receive the coin M as shown in FIG.
Has the effect of rotating the rear end of the coin in the direction of arrow a so as to be stored in the coin storage cylinder 4 as horizontal coins M '. Further, when the coin is fully stored in the coin storage cylinder 4 in its mouth, the protrusion 14 is pushed out of the coin storage cylinder 4 by the uppermost horizontal coin M ″,
As shown in FIG. 4, the tilt swing plate 10 is rotated counterclockwise to maintain this state.

Next, the operation will be briefly described. First, a state in which coins are stored in the coin storage cylinder 4 will be described. Since the inclined rocking plate 10 is configured so that its lower end has a center of gravity, the coin receiving port 13 is opened as shown in FIG. doing. In this state, when the coins M sorted by the coin sorter 1 fall onto the slide 5 through the coin passage 2, the lower end of the inclined rocking plate 10 slides on the slide 5 while sliding on the slide 5. The front edge of the coin M collides with the protruding portion 14, and the tilting rocking plate 10 is shaken by the impact force. However, since the coin cannot advance any further, the coin M
Becomes a horizontal coin M 'with its trailing edge dropped in the direction of the arrow, and falls into the coin storage cylinder 4 to be stored.
Further, at the time of the above-mentioned coin collision, the inclined rocking plate 10 closes the coin receiving slot 13 for a moment, but immediately returns to the initial state due to the center of gravity of the lower end.

Next, the overflow state will be described. The storing operation by the inclined rocking plate 10 is repeated a predetermined number of times for each introduced coin, and when the coins M are stored in the orderly horizontal state to the full opening of the coin storing cylinder 4, the fourth operation is performed. As shown in the figure, the uppermost coin M "pushes the projection 14 of the inclined rocking plate 10 toward the overflow passage 8, so that the tip 10b is inclined toward the slide 5 and closes the coin receiving slot 13, and the subsequent coins. Are inclined rocking plates 10
Is guided to the overflow passage 8 by sliding on the surface 10a.

In this state, the tilt oscillating plate 10 is in the initial state when the coins in the coin storage cylinder 4 are reduced by paying out the change and the relationship with the coin pressing the projection 14 of the tilt oscillating plate 10 is released. In other words, coins can be received in the coin storage cylinder as shown in FIG.

(G) Advantages of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, coins can be coined with a simple structure in which only a protrusion for temporarily receiving the front edge of a coin is provided at the lower end of the rear surface of the inclined rocking plate. Since the entire storage cylinder can be stored horizontally, the number of coins stored can be increased. In this case, since the same number of coins as in the conventional case can be sufficiently stored in the short coin storage cylinder, the size can be reduced compared to the conventional overflow device. Further, since the inclined rocking plate is operated in the overflow state, unlike the conventional apparatus, it can be operated not by the leaning coin but by the uppermost horizontal coin, so that the operation can be stably performed and the state can be surely maintained.

Furthermore, since coin storage in the coin storage cylinder is stacked neatly and horizontally, even if the coin storage cylinder is a cassette type that can be freely inserted into and removed from the coin sorting device main body, coins are allowed to stand when overflowing as in the conventional device. Therefore, various effects can be achieved, for example, it is possible to prevent a problem that coins cannot be pulled out by being held by the coin sorting device main body when the coin storage tube is pulled out because the method is not a method of performing overflow.
