Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a coin depositing and dispensing machine, and more particularly to a coin circulating type coin depositing and dispensing machine that uses deposited coins as dispensed coins. It is something.

Prior art Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 61-60195 proposes a coin circulation type coin depositing and dispensing machine that uses deposited coins as dispensing coins. The denomination and authenticity are determined, counterfeit coins are removed, and genuine coins are sorted by denomination and stored in a temporary storage section for each denomination. Open the shutter installed at the bottom of the storage section and use the deposited coins as withdrawal coins.
Each denomination is stored in a withdrawal coin storage section located below the temporary storage section of the corresponding denomination, and when a withdrawal instruction is received, coins are withdrawn from these withdrawal coin storage sections. In addition, if there is no space above each temporary storage section to accommodate deposited coins in any of the withdrawal coin storage sections, the deposited coins sorted by denomination are collected as coins at once. It is equipped with a collection means for collecting in the collection section.

Furthermore, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-6396 also proposes a coin circulation type coin depositing and dispensing machine that uses deposited coins as dispensing coins. Determine denomination, authenticity, etc., eliminate counterfeit coins,
Genuine coins are stored in the temporary storage section for each denomination by opening and closing the gate according to the denomination, and when a deposit instruction is received, the shutter installed at the bottom of the temporary storage section is opened and the deposit is made. Coins are stored as withdrawal coins for each denomination in the withdrawal coin storage section located below the temporary storage section of the corresponding denomination, and when a withdrawal instruction is received, the coins are stored in the withdrawal coin storage section. If there is no space above each temporary storage section to store deposited coins in one of the withdrawal coin storage sections, the gate of that temporary storage section will be closed. A coin collecting means is provided which collects deposited coins of the denomination to be stored in the corresponding dispensed coin accommodating part into a coin collecting part without being activated.

These coin depositing and dispensing machines do not require a separate coin depositing machine and coin dispensing machine, and since deposited coins are used as disbursed coins, they have the advantage of improving coin usage efficiency. have.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in these coin depositing and dispensing machines, coins of corresponding denominations are stored below a plurality of temporary storage sections that temporarily store deposited coins by denomination. Since a withdrawal coin storage section is provided, if there is a height restriction on the coin deposit/dispensing machine, it may not be possible to deposit or withdraw a sufficient amount of coins.
On the other hand, in order to make it possible to deposit and withdraw a sufficient amount of coins, the height of the temporary storage section and the withdrawal coin storage section must be made sufficiently high, which inevitably increases the height of the coin depositing and dispensing machine. There was a problem that the temperature was high.

This problem is particularly serious in desk-top coin depositing and dispensing machines, which are required to keep their height low.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a coin depositing and dispensing machine that can keep its height low and can deposit and withdraw a sufficient amount of coins.

The deposited coin C swings downward around 6b, and the deposited coin C hits the shoe)
The coins are guided downward over the coin collector 26a, pass through the shoe 26f, and are collected in the coin collection chamber 44.

As described above, the collection of coins C into the coin collection chamber 44, and therefore the opening and closing of the gate 26, are controlled by the control mechanism 9 based on the signals from the discrimination counting sensor 23, the first sensor 24, and the second sensor 25. This is done by a control unit that does not. To describe this in detail, when a coin passes the discrimination and counting sensor 27, the control section (not shown) of the control mechanism 9 stores coins of that denomination based on a detection signal manually input from the discrimination and counting sensor 27. Dispensing cylinders 41a, 41b, 41c.

It is determined whether there is space to accommodate the coin in 41d, 41e, and 41f. As a result, if it is determined that there is no space, the control unit transmits the following information from the second sensor 25:
When a detection signal indicating that the coin has been detected is input manually, a gate opening signal is output to the opening/closing solenoid 26c. When the opening/closing solenoid 26c receives a gate opening signal from the control section, it pulls the gate rotation lever 26e, opens the gate 26, and collects the coins into the coin collecting chamber 44.

On the other hand, if the second sensor 25 detects the coin that has been determined by the control unit to be collected in the coin collection chamber 44, a subsequent coin has already been detected by the first sensor 24; and the coin to be collected is the first
If a preceding coin is detected by the second sensor 25 after being detected by the sensor 24, in addition to the coin to be collected, the following coin or the preceding coin is also detected by the gate. The opening/closing of the gate 26 is controlled so that the coins are collected into the coin collection chamber 44 through the coin collecting chamber 44 through the coin collecting chamber 44. Therefore, based on the input signal from the discrimination and counting sensor 23, it is possible to detect when the discrimination and counting sensor 23 detects coins to be collected. If determined, the control unit further controls the first sensor 24 and the second sensor 24.
According to the detection signal of the sensor 25, after the first sensor 24 detects the coin to be collected, when it is determined that the second sensor 25 has detected the preceding coin, the second sensor 25 detects the preceding coin. At the time of detection, a gate opening signal is output to the opening/closing solenoid 26c to open the gate 26 and collect the preceding coins into the coin collecting chamber 44 together with the coins to be collected. Further, when the second sensor 25 detects a coin to be collected, if the first sensor 24 has already detected a subsequent coin, is there a restriction? Part B is
When the second sensor 25 detects a coin to be collected, a gate open signal is output to the opening/closing solenoid 26c to open the gate 26 and collect subsequent coins together with the coins to be collected into the coin collection chamber 44. .

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, when the gate 26 is opened, the gate 26 and the second conveyor belt 1
