Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coin handling mechanism, and more particularly, to a coin handling mechanism for a vending machine which can make the operation of supplying coins to change retaining tubes be easy.
  • a conventional change handling mechanism detects the deposited denomination coins, and retains the coins in change retaining tubes corresponding to each denomination of coins.
  • each overflow sensors detects the coins. If a coin corresponding to the change retaing tube which is filled with the denomination coins is deposited, the coin is directly introduced into a cash box. More specifically, each change retaining tube previously retain the predetermined number of the coins for particular denominations therein, respectively.
  • the particular denomination coins are returned from the change retaining tube corresponding to the particular denomination coin to a return opening.
  • FIGS. 3-7(d) are flowcharts of the control systems of a coin handling mechanism as shown in FIG. 1.
  • Coin accepting gate 20 and coin distributing gates 21, 22 and 23 are driven by solenoids (not shown), respectively.
  • solenoids is controlled to the "on” or “off” states thereof according to the signal of the authenticity and type of a deposited coin from coin validation sensor 12.
  • coin accepting gate 20 opens unacceptable coin path 30, and when the solenoid is in its "on” state, the gate opens acceptable coin path 31.
  • coin distributing gate 21 opens coin path 32 for 100 unit coins and 500 unit coins
  • the solenoid is in its "on” state
  • the gate opens coin path 33 for 10 unit coins and 50 unit coins.
  • coin distributing gate 22 When the solenoid of coin distributing gate 22 is in its "off” state, coin distributing gate 22 opens coin path 36 for 50 unit coins, and when the solenoid is in its "on” state, the gate opens coin path 37 for 100 unit coins.
  • coin distributing gate 23 When the solenoid of coin distributing gate 23 is in its "off” state, coin distributing gate 23 opens coin path 71 communicating with cash box 73 through coin path 38, and when the solenoid is in its "on” state, the gate opens the coin path communicating with coin tube 41.
  • Overflow sensors 41a, 42a, 43a and 44a are attached on the upper portions of coin tube 41, 42, 43 and 44, respectively. Each overflow sensors 41a, 42a, 43a and 44a detects whether the corresponding coin tube is filled with coins.
  • Coin paths 34, 71 and 38 communicating with cash box 73 also constitute a coin path for overflow coins in this embodiment.
  • Coin path 72 diverges from coin path 36 for 50 unit coins at a position above coin tube 43. At the divergent portion, a distributing plate (not shown) having a hole or a slit for a coin to be distributed is provided.
  • Coin path 72 is connected to coin path 38 and a 10 unit coin or a 100 unit coin misdirected to coin path 36 can be sent to coin path 38 through coin path 72.
  • step 156 a control returns to step 152.
  • step 152 if the memorized number X100 is not less than zero or at step 153, if switch "OFF" is turned on, a control moves to 500 unit coin supplying sub-routine as shown in FIG. 7(d).
