Description

本発明は回収された硬貨を金種別に選別して収納する硬貨処理装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a coin processing apparatus that selects and stores collected coins by denomination.

従来、硬貨処理装置として以下のものがある。即ち、係員が入金する硬貨を硬貨投入口に投入すると、投入された硬貨が１枚ずつ分離されて鑑別部に搬送され、鑑別部で硬貨の金種等の鑑別及び計数が行われた後、硬貨一時貯留部に金種別に集積されて一時貯留される。そして計数された金額が表示部に表示され、利用者が入金の承認を行うと、硬貨一時貯留部に一時貯留されている硬貨が金種別に硬貨収納部に収納される。 Conventionally, there are the following coin processing apparatuses. That is, when the clerk puts the coins to be inserted into the coin slot, the inserted coins are separated one by one and transported to the discrimination unit, and after the discrimination and counting of the coin denomination etc. are performed in the discrimination unit, The coins are temporarily stored in the coin temporary storage unit by denomination. When the counted amount is displayed on the display unit and the user approves the deposit, the coins temporarily stored in the coin temporary storage unit are stored in the coin storage unit in denomination.

一般に、硬貨処理装置の搬送路は、硬貨が搬送路外に飛び出さないように搬送路の継ぎ目にできる隙間を、一円硬貨の大きさよりも小さくしている。しかし、ジャム除去等の保守操作が必要な部位では、干渉を防止するため逆に隙間を広げておく必要がある。この場合、硬貨が隙間から飛び出すのを防止する手段としては、毛の束やスポンジ等の柔軟な部品による隙間を埋める構造にすることがある。 Generally, the conveyance path of the coin processing apparatus has a gap that is formed at the joint of the conveyance path so as to prevent the coin from jumping out of the conveyance path to be smaller than the size of a one-yen coin. However, it is necessary to widen the gap on the part where maintenance operation such as jam removal is necessary to prevent interference. In this case, as a means for preventing coins from jumping out of the gap, there is a structure in which the gap due to a flexible part such as a bunch of hair or a sponge is filled.

硬貨処理装置には前記硬貨一時貯留部及び前記硬貨収納部があるが、この硬貨収納部は引出可能になっているため、硬貨一時貯留部との受渡部に隙間ができる。従来は、この隙間を埋めるために毛の束やスポンジ等の柔軟な部品による隙間を埋める構造にしている。 The coin processing device includes the temporary coin storage unit and the coin storage unit. Since the coin storage unit can be pulled out, there is a gap in the delivery unit with the temporary coin storage unit. Conventionally, in order to fill this gap, the gap is formed by a flexible part such as a bunch of hair or a sponge.

図８乃至図１０により従来の硬貨一時貯留部及び硬貨収納部の概要を説明する。図８は従来の硬貨貯留部を示す正面図であり、図９は従来の硬貨貯留部を示すＡ−Ａ断面図であり、図１０は従来の一時貯留ガイドを示す斜視図である。硬貨一時貯留部５１は、左右の側面板５１−１、５１−２及び前後の側面板５１−３、５１−４によって６個の区画に分かれている。硬貨一時貯留部５１は、一時貯留ガイド５４に設けられたガイド底面部５５−１の上部に左右移動可能に設けられ、選別された硬貨を金種別に収納可能となっている。 The outline of the conventional coin temporary storage unit and coin storage unit will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 8 is a front view showing a conventional coin storage unit, FIG. 9 is an AA sectional view showing a conventional coin storage unit, and FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a conventional temporary storage guide. The coin temporary storage unit 51 is divided into six sections by left and right side plates 51-1 and 51-2 and front and rear side plates 51-3 and 51-4. The coin temporary storage part 51 is provided in the upper part of the guide bottom face part 55-1 provided in the temporary storage guide 54 so that it can move right and left, and the selected coin can be stored according to denomination.

一時貯留ガイド５４はガイド底面部５５−１と、ガイド側面部５６によって構成される。ガイド側面部５６は、図１０に示すように一時貯留ガイド５４の周囲を壁状に構成し、中央にガイド底面部５５−１とその両側にガイド底部孔５５−２、５５−３が形成される。ガイド底面部５５−１は、左右の側面板５１−１、５１−２及び前後の側面板５１−３、５１−４とともに硬貨を一時貯留する。 The temporary storage guide 54 includes a guide bottom surface portion 55-1 and a guide side surface portion 56. As shown in FIG. 10, the guide side surface portion 56 has a wall shape around the temporary storage guide 54, and has a guide bottom surface portion 55-1 at the center and guide bottom portion holes 55-2 and 55-3 on both sides thereof. The The guide bottom surface portion 55-1 temporarily stores coins together with the left and right side plates 51-1 and 51-2 and the front and rear side plates 51-3 and 51-4.

硬貨は一時貯留ガイド５４のガイド底面部５５−１上に集積され、利用者が入金の承認を行うと、硬貨一時貯留部５１は矢印Ｃ方向に移動する。これによって、硬貨を掻き落し、ガイド底部孔５５−２を介して矢印Ｆのように硬貨収納部５３へ落下させる。また、利用者が入金の不承認を行うと、硬貨一時貯留部５１は矢印Ｄ方向に移動する。これによって、硬貨を掻き落し、ガイド底部孔５５−３を介して矢印Ｇのように返却部５２へ落下させる。 Coins are accumulated on the guide bottom surface portion 55-1 of the temporary storage guide 54, and the coin temporary storage portion 51 moves in the direction of arrow C when the user approves payment. As a result, the coin is scraped off and dropped into the coin storage portion 53 as indicated by an arrow F through the guide bottom hole 55-2. Moreover, if a user disapproves payment, the coin temporary storage part 51 will move to the arrow D direction. As a result, the coin is scraped off and dropped to the return part 52 as indicated by the arrow G through the guide bottom hole 55-3.

ここで、硬貨の一時貯留の際、硬貨が硬貨一時貯留部５１から飛び出さないようにするため、左右の側面板５１−１、５１−２及びガイド底面部５５−１には入れ子構造部５９が形成されている。即ち、入れ子構造部５９は、ガイド底面部５５−１に上部波型部５８が形成され、右の側面板５１−２の淵に上部波型部５８に適合する下部波型部５７が形成されることにより構成される。入れ子構造部５９は、左右の側面板５１−１及び５１−２ともに同様な構造である。 Here, when the coins are temporarily stored, the left and right side plates 51-1 and 51-2 and the guide bottom surface portion 55-1 are nested in order to prevent the coins from jumping out of the coin temporary storage unit 51. Is formed. That is, in the nested structure portion 59, an upper corrugated portion 58 is formed on the guide bottom surface portion 55-1, and a lower corrugated portion 57 that fits the upper corrugated portion 58 is formed on the side of the right side plate 51-2. It is constituted by. The nesting structure portion 59 has the same structure for the left and right side plates 51-1 and 51-2.

また、硬貨を落下させる際、硬貨が跳ね返って別のエリアに飛び出さないようにするため、一時貯留ガイド５４にはガイド側面５６が設けてある。一方、硬貨収納部５３は、複数の硬貨収納部５３が一体として矢印Ｅ方向に引出可能である。従って、硬貨収納部５３を引き出す際に、硬貨一時貯留部５１及び一時貯留ガイド５４と干渉し操作性が悪化するのを防ぐ必要がある。そのため当該硬貨収納部５３と硬貨一時貯留部５１には隙間６３が形成してある。これに対し、隙間６３から硬貨が飛び出すことを防ぐため、左右方向には閉塞板６０−１、６０−２による入れ子構造を形成し、更に前後方向には毛の束やスポンジ等の柔軟な閉塞部材６１により隙間６３を埋めていた。その方法は、閉塞部材６１を、両面テープ又は接着剤により硬貨収納部５３の上部又はガイド側面５６の下部に接着するという方法により行っていた。 Further, when the coin is dropped, the temporary storage guide 54 is provided with a guide side surface 56 so that the coin will not bounce off and jump out to another area. On the other hand, the coin storage part 53 can be pulled out in the direction of arrow E by integrating the plurality of coin storage parts 53 together. Therefore, when the coin storage part 53 is pulled out, it is necessary to prevent the operability from deteriorating due to interference with the coin temporary storage part 51 and the temporary storage guide 54. Therefore, a gap 63 is formed in the coin storage part 53 and the coin temporary storage part 51. On the other hand, in order to prevent coins from jumping out from the gap 63, a nesting structure is formed by the closing plates 60-1 and 60-2 in the left and right direction, and a flexible block such as a bundle of hairs and sponges in the front and rear direction The gap 61 was filled with the member 61. The method has been performed by adhering the closing member 61 to the upper part of the coin storage part 53 or the lower part of the guide side face 56 with a double-sided tape or an adhesive.

なお、特開２００８−２９９５４４号公報（特許文献１）は、現金処理装置の稼働率を向上させることを課題とするものである。特許文献１によれば、リジェクト硬貨を集積して取引単位で袋詰めする技術について記載されている。 In addition, JP, 2008-299544, A (patent documents 1) makes it a subject to improve the operation rate of a cash processor.

Coins are accumulated on the guide bottom surface portion 5-1 of the temporary storage guide 4. Six coin storage units 3 are also provided below the temporary coin storage unit 1.

図４は第１の実施の形態に関する一時貯留ガイドを示す斜視図である。一時貯留ガイド４はガイド底面部５−１と、ガイド側面部６によって構成される。ガイド側面部６は、図示のように一時貯留ガイド４の周囲を壁状に構成し、中央にガイド底面部５−１とその両側にガイド底部孔５−２、５−３が形成されるように構成する。ガイド底面部５−１は、硬貨一時貯留部１の左右の側面板１−１、１−２及び前後の側面板１−３、１−４とともに硬貨を一時貯留するボックス状となす。ガイド底面部５−１は、左右の側面板１−１、１−２及び前後の側面板１−３、１−４によって形成される底面領域１０をカバーする広さである。 FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a temporary storage guide according to the first embodiment. The temporary storage guide 4 includes a guide bottom surface portion 5-1 and a guide side surface portion 6. As shown in the figure, the guide side surface portion 6 has a wall shape around the temporary storage guide 4, and a guide bottom surface portion 5-1 is formed at the center and guide bottom portion holes 5-2 and 5-3 are formed on both sides thereof. Configure. The guide bottom surface portion 5-1 has a box shape for temporarily storing coins together with the left and right side plates 1-1, 1-2 and the front and rear side plates 1-3, 1-4 of the temporary coin storage portion 1. The guide bottom surface portion 5-1 has a size that covers the bottom surface region 10 formed by the left and right side plates 1-1, 1-2 and the front and rear side plates 1-3, 1-4.

硬貨は一時貯留ガイド４のガイド底面部５−１上の底面領域１０に集積され、利用者が入金の承認を行うと、６個の硬貨一時貯留部１は矢印Ｃ方向に一体として移動する。これによって、底面領域１０に集積された硬貨を左の側面板１−１が掻き落し、ガイド底部孔５−２を介して矢印Ｆのように落下させ硬貨収納部３へ収納させる。また、利用者が入金の不承認を行うと、６個の硬貨一時貯留部１は矢印Ｄ方向に一体として移動する。これによって、底面領域１０に集積された硬貨を右の側面板１−２が掻き落し、ガイド底部孔５−３を介して矢印Ｇのように落下させ返却部２へ収納させる。 The coins are accumulated on the bottom surface region 10 on the guide bottom surface portion 5-1 of the temporary storage guide 4, and when the user approves the deposit, the six coin temporary storage portions 1 move together in the arrow C direction. As a result, the left side plate 1-1 scrapes off the coins accumulated in the bottom surface region 10, and falls as indicated by the arrow F through the guide bottom hole 5-2 and is stored in the coin storage unit 3. Moreover, if a user disapprovals payment, the six coin temporary storage parts 1 will move integrally in the arrow D direction. As a result, the right side plate 1-2 is scraped off the coins accumulated in the bottom surface region 10 and is dropped as indicated by the arrow G through the guide bottom hole 5-3 and stored in the return unit 2.

ここで、硬貨の一時貯留の際、硬貨が硬貨一時貯留部１から飛び出さないようにするため、かつ硬貨の掻き落しが完全に行われるようにするため左右の側面板１−１、１−２及びガイド底面部５−１には第１の入れ子構造部９が形成されている。即ち、第１の入れ子構造部９は、ガイド底面部５−１に複数の角形の上部波型部８が形成され、右の側面板１−２の淵には、上部波型部８に適合する複数の台形の下部波型部７が形成されることにより構成される。入れ子構造部９は、左右の側面板１−１及び１−２ともに同様な構造である。 Here, in order to prevent the coins from jumping out of the temporary coin storage unit 1 and to completely scrape off the coins during temporary storage of the coins, the left and right side plates 1-1, 1- 2 and the guide bottom face part 5-1 are formed with a first nested structure part 9. That is, the first nesting structure portion 9 is formed with a plurality of rectangular upper corrugation portions 8 on the guide bottom surface portion 5-1, and is adapted to the upper corrugation portion 8 at the edge of the right side plate 1-2. And a plurality of trapezoidal lower corrugated portions 7 are formed. The nesting structure portion 9 has the same structure for the left and right side plates 1-1 and 1-2.

また、ガイド底部孔５−２を矢印Ｆ方向に硬貨を落下させる際、硬貨が跳ね返って別のエリアに飛び出さないようにするため、一時貯留ガイド４にはガイド側面６が設けてある。一方、硬貨収納部３は複数の硬貨収納部３が一体として前後方向としての矢印Ｅ方向に引出可能である。従って、硬貨収納部３を引き出す際に、硬貨一時貯留部１及び一時貯留ガイド４と干渉し、操作性が悪化するのを防ぐ必要がある。 Further, when the coin is dropped in the direction of arrow F through the guide bottom hole 5-2, the temporary storage guide 4 is provided with a guide side surface 6 so that the coin does not bounce back and jump out to another area. On the other hand, the coin storage unit 3 can be pulled out in the direction of arrow E as the front-rear direction as a plurality of coin storage units 3 are integrated. Accordingly, when the coin storage unit 3 is pulled out, it is necessary to prevent the operability from deteriorating due to interference with the coin temporary storage unit 1 and the temporary storage guide 4.

本実施の形態では硬貨収納部３の上部の淵と、一時貯留ガイド４のガイド側面部６を第２の入れ子構造部２３としたものである。即ち、第２の入れ子構造部２３は、硬貨収納部３の上部の淵に複数の矩形の突起を並べた上部波型２２が形成され、ガイド側面部６には、上部波型２２に適合する同じく複数の矩形の突起を並べた下部波型部２１が形成される。また、第２の入れ子構造部２３は、下部波型部２１と上部波型部２２とで出来る間隔が、取り扱う硬貨の幅よりも小さくなるように設けられる。入れ子構造部２３は、矢印Ｅ方向における下流側のガイド側面部６についても同様に構成される。これによって、硬貨が跳ね返って別のエリアに飛び出すのを防止することができる。 In the present embodiment, the upper ridge of the coin storage part 3 and the guide side face part 6 of the temporary storage guide 4 are used as the second nesting structure part 23. That is, the second nesting structure portion 23 is formed with an upper corrugation 22 in which a plurality of rectangular protrusions are arranged on the upper ridge of the coin storage portion 3, and the guide side surface portion 6 is adapted to the upper corrugation 22. Similarly, a lower corrugated portion 21 in which a plurality of rectangular protrusions are arranged is formed. In addition, the second nesting structure portion 23 is provided so that the space formed between the lower waveform portion 21 and the upper waveform portion 22 is smaller than the width of the coin to be handled. The nesting structure portion 23 is similarly configured with respect to the guide side surface portion 6 on the downstream side in the arrow E direction. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the coin from bouncing off and jumping out to another area.

以上、本実施の形態によれば、硬貨収納部３の上部の淵と、一時貯留ガイド４のガイド側面部６を入れ子構造部２３としたので、前後方向としての矢印Ｅ方向に硬貨収納部３を引き出す際に、一時貯留ガイド４のガイド側面部６との干渉を防ぎ、操作性を向上することができる。また、両者の間に硬貨が飛び出すことのできる隙間がなくなるので、ガイド底部孔５−２を矢印Ｆ方向に落下した硬貨が跳ね返って別のエリアに飛び出すことを防ぐことができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the upper ridge of the coin storage portion 3 and the guide side surface portion 6 of the temporary storage guide 4 are the nested structure portion 23, the coin storage portion 3 in the arrow E direction as the front-rear direction. When drawing out, interference with the guide side surface part 6 of the temporary storage guide 4 can be prevented, and operability can be improved. Further, since there is no gap between which the coins can jump out, it is possible to prevent the coins that have fallen in the direction of arrow F from bouncing back in the guide bottom hole 5-2 and jumping out to another area.

（第２の実施の形態）
次に、本発明の第２の実施の形態について説明する。図７は第２の実施の形態に関する硬貨貯留部を示す説明図である。前記第１の実施の形態が、硬貨収納部３の上部の淵と、一時貯留ガイド４のガイド側面部６を入れ子構造部２３としたものであるが、第２の実施の形態は、硬貨収納部３の上部の淵と、一時貯留ガイド４のガイド側面部６の間に回転可能に閉塞板４４を設けたものである。その他の構成は第１の実施の形態の構成と同様であるので説明を省略する。 (Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a coin storage unit according to the second embodiment. In the first embodiment, the upper ridge of the coin storage portion 3 and the guide side surface portion 6 of the temporary storage guide 4 are used as the nesting structure portion 23. However, in the second embodiment, the coin storage is performed. A closing plate 44 is rotatably provided between the upper ridge of the portion 3 and the guide side surface portion 6 of the temporary storage guide 4. Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

閉塞板４４は、硬貨収納部３の上部の淵と、一時貯留ガイド４のガイド側面部６の間を埋めるように配置されている。閉塞板４４は、ガイド側面部６と重なるように配置されているが、ガイド側面部６との干渉を回避するように回転可能に配置されている。閉塞板４４は回転支点４５を中心に回転可能に支持され、利用者がリンクバー４６を前後方向としての矢印Ｅ方向に引くことにより、閉塞板４４は矢印Ｈ方向に回転する。こうして、利用者が硬貨収納部３を矢印Ｅ方向に引き出す際に、閉塞板４４はガイド側面部６と干渉することはない。 The closing plate 44 is disposed so as to fill a space between the upper ridge of the coin storage unit 3 and the guide side surface 6 of the temporary storage guide 4. The closing plate 44 is disposed so as to overlap the guide side surface portion 6, but is rotatably disposed so as to avoid interference with the guide side surface portion 6. The closing plate 44 is supported so as to be rotatable about a rotation fulcrum 45, and the closing plate 44 rotates in the direction of arrow H when the user pulls the link bar 46 in the direction of arrow E as the front-rear direction. Thus, when the user pulls out the coin storage part 3 in the direction of arrow E, the closing plate 44 does not interfere with the guide side face part 6.

第２の実施の形態によれば、ガイド側面部６との干渉を回避するように回転可能に閉塞板４４を配置したので、矢印Ｅ方向に硬貨収納部３を引き出す際に、一時貯留ガイド４のガイド側面部６との干渉を防ぎ、操作性を向上することができる。また、両者の間に隙間がなくなるので、ガイド底部孔５−２を矢印Ｆ方向に落下した硬貨が跳ね返って別のエリアに飛び出すことを防ぐことができる。 According to the second embodiment, since the closing plate 44 is rotatably arranged so as to avoid interference with the guide side surface portion 6, when the coin storage portion 3 is pulled out in the direction of arrow E, the temporary storage guide 4. Interference with the guide side surface portion 6 can be prevented, and operability can be improved. Further, since there is no gap between the two, it is possible to prevent coins that have fallen in the direction of arrow F from jumping back to the other area in the guide bottom hole 5-2.
