Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The object of the present invention is to distribute and store the wrapped coins almost uniformly in the coin box when the wrapped coins are dropped into the coin box.

Conventionally, even if the wrapped coins fall through the chute, they are guided in only one direction and released into the coin box, so the wrapped coins are accumulated only in a portion of the box, and therefore are evenly accumulated in the box. Otherwise, the storage efficiency would be poor compared to the volume of the coin box. Therefore, it has been proposed to distribute the falling packaged coins to the left and right on the coin box so that they are evenly accumulated. However, in these proposals, the packaged coins that fall vertically in the axial direction of the packaged coins are changed horizontally by a sorting member and rolled down from the discharge opening, and the sorting member is mechanically rotated by a driving means. Since the packaged coins were distributed alternately to the left and right by moving the coins, the discharge opening required a long space extending in the length direction of the packaged coins from side to side, and mechanical operation using a driving means complicated the structure and made it expensive. I had no choice but to do so.

Furthermore, it is known that a sorting member is activated by the falling energy of the falling packaged coins and sorts the packaged coins left and right, but the falling energy of the packaged coins is considerably greater than the mass of the coins, and the sorting member that is directly hit by this makes a lot of noise. To do this, complicated buffering means were required, and the wrapping paper was torn due to lack of durability and recoil, and there were also disadvantages that the coins were stored in a disorderly manner in the coin box.

The present invention proposes a highly practical storage device that eliminates these conventional drawbacks. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be explained in detail based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

The wrapped coin a is wrapped in a well-known manner by three wrapping rollers 1, 2, and 3 of a coin wrapping machine (not shown), and when the wrapping is finished, the wrapping rollers 1 to 3 are released and the wrapped coin a is wrapped. It falls perpendicular to its axis.

A curved chute 4 fixed at this falling position is provided, and the packaged coin a that falls vertically in the axial direction is changed in shape so that its axis is almost horizontal, and the ejection openings 5 and 6 are placed on the back side. Discharge bodies 8 are provided on the left and right sides as if matching, and are dropped from there into the coin box 7. The ejector 8 is provided with a distribution member 12 which is formed by a push-out plate 9 and a collision plate 10, each having a T-shaped cross section and pivotally attached to the intersection of the extrusion plate 9 and the collision plate 10 with a pivot 11.

However, as described above, the wrapped coin a falls vertically in the axial direction, is guided by the chute 4 at its curved part, and the wrapped coin a changes its posture so that the axial direction is horizontal, and slides inside the ejector 8. reach. Due to this change in attitude, the falling energy of the packaged coin a is greatly reduced, and the packaged coin a hits one side of the collision plate 10, rotates the extrusion plate 9, and releases the packaged coin a from either the discharge opening 5 or 6. The coins are rolled in the circumferential direction and stored in the coin box 7 in a horizontally aligned manner alternately on the left and right sides.

The present invention reduces the impact by changing the posture of the wrapped coins, does not require any driving device, and the ejection openings are formed back to back, making it highly practical as it can be formed in a small space. It is.

Claims (1)

[Claims for Utility Model Registration] A package having a curved chute that accepts wrapped coins wrapped in a conical shape and dropped vertically in the axial direction and changes its posture horizontally in the axial direction, and a sorting member that distributes the wrapped coins. In the coin sorting device, the chute is provided continuously with the discharge part of the chute,
a discharge body forming discharge openings each having a bottom that gradually deepens in slope on the left and right sides perpendicular to the discharge direction of the packaged coins discharged from the chute; and a distal end portion of the discharge body and between the left and right discharge openings. a pivot provided approximately in the center; one side facing the discharge portion of the chute; either one of the left and right discharge openings can be closed; an extrusion plate that can be extruded toward either one of the above, and a collision plate that retreats from the ejection body when the tip of the wrapped coin collides with the tip of the packaged coin, and moves the extrusion plate to close the open ejection opening. 1. A packaged coin sorting device comprising a sorting member formed into a substantially T-shaped cross section and pivoted to the pivot at the intersection of the T-shape.
