Description
【０００１】[0001]
本考案は例えば公衆電話機や自動販売機のように料金を硬貨で徴収する装置に 組込まれた硬貨選別処理装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a coin sorting and processing device incorporated in a device for collecting charges by coins, such as a public telephone and a vending machine.
【０００２】[0002]
例えば公衆電話機等の料金徴収式電話機においては、図５に示すように、電話 機筐体１の前面にダイヤルキー２，硬貨返却口３が設けられ、上面に硬貨投入口 ４が設けられている。そして側方にハンドセット５を置くためのフック台６が形 成されている。電話機筐体１内には、薄い箱型に形成された硬貨選別処理装置７ が収納されている。硬貨選別処理装置７の上面には硬貨投入口４に連通する硬貨 案内ダクト８が取付けられている。また、硬貨選別処理装置７の下方位置には返 却硬貨を硬貨返却口３へ導くための硬貨シュート９および徴収された硬貨を収納 する硬貨収納容器１０が配設されている。さらに、硬貨選別処理装置７の手前に はＰＣ基板１１が設けられている。 For example, in a toll collection type telephone such as a public telephone, as shown in FIG. 5, a dial key 2 and a coin return opening 3 are provided on the front surface of a telephone housing 1, and a coin insertion opening 4 is provided on the upper surface. .. Then, a hook base 6 for placing the handset 5 on the side is formed. A coin sorting and processing device 7 formed in a thin box shape is housed in the telephone housing 1. A coin guide duct 8 communicating with the coin slot 4 is attached to the upper surface of the coin sorting / processing device 7. Further, a coin chute 9 for guiding the returned coins to the coin return port 3 and a coin storage container 10 for storing the collected coins are arranged below the coin selection processing device 7. Further, a PC board 11 is provided in front of the coin sorting / processing device 7.
【０００３】 図６は硬貨選別処理装置７の表側を示す斜視図である。プラスチク材料で形成 された基板１２の表面１２ａに電話機筐体１の硬貨投入口４に硬貨案内ダクト８ を介して連通する選別軌道１３が形成されている。すなわち、基板１２に一体成 型された軌道リブ１３ａ上を投入された硬貨が転がり降りる。選別軌道１３内に は第１の選別機構１４ａおよび第２の選別機構１４ｂが設けられている。第１， 第２の選別機構１４ａ，１４ｂは共通のフラッパ１５に覆われている。フラッパ １５は、固定軸１６に回動自在に支持されており、通常、コイルばね１７によっ て、選別軌道１３方向へ付勢されている。そして、レバー１８を矢印方向に押す と、フラッパ１５が回動して、選別軌道１３内に詰まっている硬貨が外部へ一斉 に排出される。排出された硬貨は返却ダクト１９の入口１９ａ，１９ｂ内へ落下 する。FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the front side of the coin sorting / processing device 7. A sorting track 13 is formed on a surface 12a of a substrate 12 made of a plastic material so as to communicate with the coin slot 4 of the telephone housing 1 via a coin guide duct 8. That is, the coins inserted on the track rib 13a integrally formed on the substrate 12 roll down. A first sorting mechanism 14a and a second sorting mechanism 14b are provided in the sorting track 13. The first and second sorting mechanisms 14a and 14b are covered by a common flapper 15. The flapper 15 is rotatably supported by a fixed shaft 16 and is normally urged by a coil spring 17 toward the selection track 13. Then, when the lever 18 is pushed in the direction of the arrow, the flapper 15 rotates, and the coins stuck in the selection track 13 are ejected all at once. The discharged coins drop into the entrances 19a and 19b of the return duct 19.
【０００４】 第１の選別機構１４ａは投入された硬貨のうち直径が１００円硬貨より小さい ５円，５０円，１円の硬貨を選別して、返却ダクト１９内へ排出する。第２の選 別機構１４ｂは１００円硬貨の外径以下の硬貨、すなわち１００円硬貨を選別し て下方の１００円専用の蓄積軌道２０へ導く。返却ダクト１９の下端２１は硬貨 返却口３に連通する硬貨シュート９に開口している。また、蓄積軌道２０の下部 位置には硬貨収納機構２２が取付けられている。The first sorting mechanism 14 a sorts coins of 5, 50, and 1 yen, which are smaller in diameter than 100-yen coins, into the returned coins and discharges them into the return duct 19. The second selection mechanism 14b selects coins having an outer diameter of 100 yen coins or less, that is, 100 yen coins and guides them to the accumulation orbit 20 for exclusive use of 100 yen below. The lower end 21 of the return duct 19 is open to the coin chute 9 communicating with the coin return port 3. A coin storage mechanism 22 is attached to the lower portion of the accumulation track 20.
【０００５】 第２の選別機構１４ｂを通過した外径が１００円硬貨を越える硬貨、すなわち １０円硬貨は軸２３ａに枢支された軽量レバー２３に当接する。軽量レバー２３ は、この軽量レバー２３に当接した硬貨を１０円硬貨とこの１０円硬貨より軽い 擬似硬貨とに選別する。１０円硬貨より軽い擬似硬貨は、窓２４を介して基板１ ２の裏面の上段に形成された返却ダクトへ排出される。また、１０円硬貨は同じ く裏面の下段に形成された１０円専用の蓄積軌道へ導かれる。A coin having an outer diameter of more than 100 yen coin that has passed through the second sorting mechanism 14b, that is, a 10 yen coin, comes into contact with the lightweight lever 23 pivotally supported by the shaft 23a. The lightweight lever 23 sorts the coins abutting on the lightweight lever 23 into a 10-yen coin and a pseudo coin that is lighter than the 10-yen coin. The pseudo coin, which is lighter than the 10-yen coin, is discharged through the window 24 to the return duct formed on the upper stage of the back surface of the substrate 12. The 10-yen coins are also guided to the 10-yen-dedicated accumulation orbit formed on the lower back of the same coin.
【０００６】 次に、第１，第２の選別機構１４ａ，１４ｂの構造を説明する。Next, the structures of the first and second sorting mechanisms 14a and 14b will be described.
【０００７】 図７は図６の硬貨選別処理装置７をＹ−Ｙ線で切断して、矢印方向に見た断面 図である。また、図８は図７の断面図をＸ１−Ｘ１線で切断して、矢印方向に見 た断面図である。FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the coin sorting / processing device 7 of FIG. 6 taken along line YY and viewed in the direction of the arrow. FIG. 8 is a sectional view taken along line X1-X1 of the sectional view of FIG. 7 and viewed in the direction of the arrow.
【０００８】 フラッパ１５と基板１２の表面１２ａとの間に形成された選別軌道１３に沿っ て第１，第２の選別機構１４ａ，１４ｂが設けられている。すなわち、基板１２ の表面１２ａに突設された軌道リブ１３ａの上側にほぼ長方形形状を有した凹部 ２５ａ，２５ｂが刻設されている。そして、基板１２の表面１２ａにおける凹部 ２５ａ，２５ｂの上端近傍に各凹部２５ａ，２５ｂの前面の一部を覆う金属製の 上側支持部材２６ａ，２６ｂが取付けられている。また、フラッパ１５内面の各 凹部２５ａ，２５ｂに対向する位置に金属製の下側支持部材２７ａ，２７ｂが取 付けられている。First and second sorting mechanisms 14 a and 14 b are provided along a sorting track 13 formed between the flapper 15 and the surface 12 a of the substrate 12. That is, recesses 25a and 25b having a substantially rectangular shape are formed on the upper side of the track rib 13a protruding from the surface 12a of the substrate 12. Then, metal upper support members 26a and 26b that cover a part of the front surfaces of the recesses 25a and 25b are attached near the upper ends of the recesses 25a and 25b on the surface 12a of the substrate 12. Further, metal lower support members 27a and 27b are attached to the inner surface of the flapper 15 at positions facing the recesses 25a and 25b.
【０００９】 また、軌道リブ１３ａの各凹部２５ａ，２５ｂに対向する部分には共通する傾 斜面２８が形成されている。そして、各凹部２５ａ，２５ｂ内においても、前記 傾斜面２８に連続する傾斜面２９が形成されている。Further, a common inclined surface 28 is formed in a portion of the track rib 13a facing each of the recesses 25a and 25b. An inclined surface 29 continuous with the inclined surface 28 is also formed in each of the recesses 25a and 25b.
【００１０】 そして、軌道リブ１３ａの各傾斜面２８における各凹部２５ａ，２５ｂに対向 する下方位置に前記返却ダクト１９および蓄積軌道２０に連通する各開口部３０ ａ，３０ｂが形成されている。Then, openings 30 a and 30 b communicating with the return duct 19 and the storage track 20 are formed at lower positions of the inclined surfaces 28 of the track ribs 13 a facing the recesses 25 a and 25 b.
【００１１】 図９は、第１，２の選別機構１４ａ，１４ｂの選別原理を示す模式図である。 選別軌道１３から転がり込んだ硬貨３１は、軌道リブ１３ａの延長線上に形成さ れた傾斜面２８上に導かれる。この傾斜面２８上を選別軌道１３に沿って転がり 降りる硬貨３１の背面側の上縁に上側支持部材２６ａ，２６ｂが僅かに接する。 また、下側支持部材２７ａ，２７ｂが硬貨３１の前面側の中央部に接する。FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing the selection principle of the first and second selection mechanisms 14a and 14b. The coins 31 rolled from the sorting track 13 are guided to the inclined surface 28 formed on the extension line of the track rib 13a. The upper support members 26a and 26b are slightly in contact with the upper edge of the back side of the coin 31 rolling down on the inclined surface 28 along the selection track 13. Further, the lower support members 27a and 27b are in contact with the central portion on the front surface side of the coin 31.
【００１２】 ここで第１の選別機構１４ａについて考えると、選別軌道１３から例えば１０ 円や１００円等の１００円硬貨以上の直径を有する硬貨３１が侵入した場合は、 この硬貨３１は、傾斜面２８，上側支持部材２６ａ，下側支持部材２７ａで３点 支持されるので、矢印Ａ方向にそのまま進む。逆に、直径が１００円未満の例え ば５円，５０円，１円等の硬貨３１が侵入した場合には、上側支持部材２６ａに よる支持が得られないので、硬貨３１は進行方向からみて反時計方向に回動して 、上端が凹部２５ａ内へ回動する。その結果、図８の点線で示すように、硬貨３ １は傾斜面２９，２８を矢印Ｂ方向に滑り落ち、返却ダクト１９に連通する開口 部３０ａ内へ落下する。Considering here the first sorting mechanism 14 a, when a coin 31 having a diameter of 100 yen coins or more, such as 10 yen or 100 yen, enters from the sorting track 13, the coin 31 has an inclined surface. 28, the upper support member 26a, and the lower support member 27a are supported at three points, so the process proceeds in the direction of arrow A as it is. On the other hand, if a coin 31 with a diameter of less than 100 yen, such as 5 yen, 50 yen, or 1 yen, enters, the upper support member 26a cannot provide support, so the coin 31 is viewed from the traveling direction. The upper end turns into the recess 25a by turning counterclockwise. As a result, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 8, the coin 31 slides down the inclined surfaces 29, 28 in the direction of arrow B, and falls into the opening 30 a communicating with the return duct 19.
【００１３】 第２の選別機構１４ｂにおいても、同様の動作原理でもって、第１の選別機構 １４ａで選別されなかった、１００円硬貨の外径以上の外径を有する硬貨３１の うちの１００円硬貨以下の外径を有する硬貨３１、すなわち１００円硬貨が選別 されて選別軌道２０に連通する開口部３０ｂ内へ落下する。Also in the second sorting mechanism 14b, 100 yen out of the coins 31 having an outer diameter equal to or larger than the outer diameter of the 100-yen coin, which is not sorted by the first sorting mechanism 14a, by the same operation principle. A coin 31 having an outer diameter equal to or smaller than that of a coin, that is, a 100-yen coin is selected and drops into the opening 30b communicating with the selection track 20.
【００１４】 よって、第２の選別機構１４ｂにて選別されずに通過する硬貨３１は１０円硬 貨、および１０円硬貨の外径より大きい外径を有した擬似硬貨のみとなる。Therefore, the coins 31 that pass without being sorted by the second sorting mechanism 14b are only 10-yen coins and pseudo coins having an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the 10-yen coins.
【００１５】[0015]
しかしながら、上述したような選別機構を有した硬貨選別処理装置においても まだ解消すべき次のような課題があった。 However, the coin sorting and processing apparatus having the sorting mechanism as described above also has the following problems to be solved.
【００１６】 図１０（ａ）（ｂ）は第２の選別機構１４ｂにおける凹部２５ｂ内における硬 貨３１の動作を示す模式図である。第１の選別機構１４ａをそのまま通過して第 ２の選別機構１４ｂに転がり込んだ硬貨３１は、その硬貨３１が１００円硬貨で あれば、図示するように、上端部が凹部２５ｂ内へ入り、硬貨３１が傾斜して、 傾斜面２８を滑り落ちて、開口部３０ｂへ落下する。FIGS. 10A and 10B are schematic diagrams showing the operation of the coin 31 in the recess 25b of the second sorting mechanism 14b. If the coin 31 that has passed through the first sorting mechanism 14a and rolled into the second sorting mechanism 14b is a 100-yen coin, the upper end of the coin 31 will enter the recess 25b as shown in the figure, 31 inclines, slides down the inclined surface 28, and falls into the opening 30b.
【００１７】 しかし、硬貨３１の第２の選別機構１４ｂに侵入する時の侵入速度が高い場合 は、この硬貨３１は直ちに傾斜面２８を滑り落ちて開口部３０ｂへ落下すること なく、図１０（ｂ）に示すように、自己の慣性力によって凹部２５ｂ内の下流端 壁３２に衝突する。下流端壁３２に衝突した硬貨３１は上流方向に跳ね返り、下 方に設けられたストッパー３３に衝突し、さらに、開口部３０ｂの縁に衝突し、 最終的に開口部３０ｂ内へ落下する。However, when the invasion speed of the coin 31 into the second sorting mechanism 14b is high, the coin 31 does not immediately slide down the inclined surface 28 and drop into the opening 30b. As shown in b), it collides with the downstream end wall 32 in the recess 25b by its own inertial force. The coin 31 colliding with the downstream end wall 32 bounces in the upstream direction, collides with the stopper 33 provided below, further collides with the edge of the opening 30b, and finally falls into the opening 30b.
【００１８】 このように、選別された硬貨３１は方々に衝突しながら開口部３０ｂ内へ落下 する。したがって、第２の選別機構１４ｂへ侵入した硬貨３１が開口部３０ｂ内 へ落下するまでに要する時間が長くなる。ちなみに、考案者等の実験によると、 上記所要時間は０．６秒以上であった。In this way, the selected coins 31 fall into the opening 30b while colliding with other people. Therefore, the time required for the coin 31 that has entered the second sorting mechanism 14b to fall into the opening 30b becomes long. By the way, according to experiments by the inventors, the required time was 0.6 seconds or more.
【００１９】 一方、この硬貨徴収式電話機の使用者は遠距離通話をしようとする場合、一般 に通話を開始する前に連続して多数の硬貨３１を一度に硬貨投入口４へ挿入する 。当然この連続投入する場合の投入時間間隔は前述した０．６秒以下である。し たがって、１００円硬貨を連続して投入した場合には、先の硬貨３１が完全に開 口部３０ｂ内へ落下しない状態において、次の硬貨が侵入する。よって、図１０ （ａ）に示すように、先の硬貨３１が下流端壁３２に衝突して上流方向に跳ね返 った瞬間に、下流方向へ転がり降りて来る次の硬貨３１ａと衝突する懸念がある 。On the other hand, when a user of this coin collecting type telephone wants to make a long-distance call, he or she generally inserts a large number of coins 31 into the coin slot 4 at a time before starting the call. Naturally, the charging time interval in the case of continuous charging is 0.6 second or less as described above. Therefore, when 100-yen coins are continuously inserted, the next coin intrudes while the previous coin 31 is not completely dropped into the opening 30b. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10A, at the moment when the previous coin 31 collides with the downstream end wall 32 and bounces in the upstream direction, there is a concern that it may collide with the next coin 31a rolling down in the downstream direction. There is.
【００２０】 硬貨どうしが衝突すると、下方の開口部３０ｂに落下する順序が乱れて、両方 の硬貨３１，３１ａが同時に開口部３０ｂへ落下しょうとしてこの開口部３０ｂ にて硬貨詰りが発生する懸念がある。この場合、蓄積軌道２０に正規の１００円 硬貨３１が蓄積されないので、料金不足で通話が途中で遮断される。When coins collide with each other, the order in which they drop into the lower opening 30b is disturbed, and both coins 31 and 31a try to drop into the opening 30b at the same time, which may cause a jam of coins in the opening 30b. is there. In this case, since the regular 100-yen coin 31 is not accumulated in the accumulation track 20, the call is cut off due to insufficient charges.
【００２１】 本考案はこのような事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、軌道リブに沿って刻設 された凹部内に硬貨衝突部材を設けることによって、上側支持部材の取付位置に よって選別された硬貨が凹部内を下流方向に向って滑り降りて下流端壁に衝突し て上流側へ跳ね返ったとしても、直ぐに下方へ跳ね返り、次の硬貨と衝突するこ とが未然に防止でき、その結果、硬貨詰りの発生確率を大幅に低減でき、この装 置が組込まれた料金徴収式電話機や自動販売機等の信頼性を大幅に向上できる硬 貨選別処理装置を提供することを目的とする。The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the coin colliding member is provided in the concave portion formed along the track rib, so that the coin is selected according to the mounting position of the upper supporting member. Even if the coin slides down the recess in the downstream direction and collides with the downstream end wall and bounces upstream, it is possible to prevent the coin from immediately bouncing downward and colliding with the next coin. It is an object of the present invention to provide a coin sorting and processing device capable of significantly reducing the probability of clogging and greatly improving the reliability of a toll collection type telephone, a vending machine, etc. in which this device is incorporated.
【００２２】[0022]
上記課題を解消するために本考案は、硬貨投入口から投入された硬貨を基板面 に突設された軌道リブ上を上流から下流へ転動させ、この軌道リブに沿って設け られた選別機構によって投入された硬貨のうち特定種類硬貨を選別して下方の蓄 積軌道へ導く硬貨選別処理装置において、 前記選別機構を、軌道リブの上面に形成され、基板面の法線に対して傾斜する 傾斜面と、基板面における軌道リブの上側位置に刻設された凹部と、軌道リブの 傾斜面上を転がり降りる硬貨のうち、特定種類硬貨の外径を越える外径を有する 硬貨の上端部を凹部内へ回動しないように支持するとともに、特定種類硬貨の外 径以下の外径を有する硬貨の上端部を凹部内へ回動させる位置に配設された上側 支持部材と、硬貨の上端部が上側支持部で支持されている状態において、硬貨の 下端部が傾斜面を傾斜方向に滑落しないように支持する下側支持部材と、凹部内 に設けられ、かつ先端位置が上側支持部材位置より所定距離だけ凹部内側に位置 し、凹部内を回動角度を増加しながら転がり降りてこの凹部内の下流端壁にて上 流方向へ跳ね返った硬貨が衝突して、この硬貨の進行方向を下方へ変更する硬貨 衝突部材と、傾斜部の傾斜方向の下方に設けられ蓄積軌道に連通する開口部とを 備えている。 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention rolls a coin inserted from a coin slot from upstream to downstream on a track rib projecting on a substrate surface, and a sorting mechanism provided along the track rib. In a coin selection processing device for selecting a specific type coin from the coins inserted by and guiding it to a lower storage track, the selection mechanism is formed on the upper surface of the track rib and is inclined with respect to the normal to the substrate surface. Among the coins rolling down on the sloped surface of the track rib and the sloped surface of the track rib on the inclined surface, the board surface, and the upper end of the coin that has an outer diameter that exceeds the outer diameter of a specific type of coin. An upper support member that is supported so as not to rotate into the recess, and that has an upper diameter that is equal to or smaller than the outer diameter of the coin of the specified type and that rotates into the recess. Is supported by the upper support In the state, the lower end of the coin is provided in the recess and the lower support member that supports the inclined surface so as not to slide in the inclination direction, and the tip position is located inside the recess by a predetermined distance from the upper support member position. A coin colliding member that rolls down in the recess while increasing the turning angle and rebounds in the upstream direction at the downstream end wall in the recess collides with the coin colliding member that changes the traveling direction of the coin downward, An opening that is provided below the inclination direction of the section and communicates with the storage track.
【００２３】[0023]
このように構成された硬貨選別処理装置において、軌道リブを転がり降りる硬 貨は選別機構に侵入する。そして、硬貨は軌道リブの延長線上に形成された傾斜 面上を転がる。硬貨の上端部は上側支持部材にて凹部内へ回動しないように支持 され、下端部は下側支持部材によって、傾斜面における傾斜方向に滑り落ちない ように支持されている。硬貨の外径がこの選別機構によって選別すべき硬貨の外 径を越える場合は、この選別機構に侵入した硬貨は前記傾斜面，上側支持部材お よび下側支持部材でもって侵入時と同じ姿勢を保持したまま傾斜方向に滑べり落 ちることなく、この選別機構を通り過ぎていく。また、外径がこの選別機構によ って選別すべき硬貨の外径以下の場合は、この硬貨の上端部が上側支持部材にて 支持されなくなって、上端部が凹部内へ回動する。すると、硬貨は傾斜面を滑り 落ちる。 In the coin sorting apparatus configured as described above, coins rolling down the track ribs enter the sorting mechanism. Then, the coin rolls on the inclined surface formed on the extension line of the track rib. The upper end of the coin is supported by the upper support member so as not to rotate into the recess, and the lower end is supported by the lower support member so as not to slide down in the inclination direction of the inclined surface. If the outer diameter of the coin exceeds the outer diameter of the coin to be sorted by this sorting mechanism, the coin that has entered this sorting mechanism will have the same posture as when it entered by the inclined surface, upper support member and lower support member. It passes through this sorting mechanism without holding down and sliding down in the direction of inclination. Further, when the outer diameter is equal to or smaller than the outer diameter of the coin to be sorted by this sorting mechanism, the upper end portion of this coin is not supported by the upper support member and the upper end portion pivots into the recess. Then, the coin slides down the inclined surface.
【００２４】 この選別機構によって選別される硬貨は上端が上側支持部材の支持を外れるの で上端が凹部内へ回動する。その結果、硬貨は傾斜面の傾斜方向に滑るとともに 、慣性力によって、そのまま凹部内を下流方向へ転がり降りる。そして、硬貨は 凹部内の下流端壁に衝突して上流側へ跳ね返る。The upper end of the coin selected by this selecting mechanism is out of the support of the upper supporting member, so that the upper end rotates into the recess. As a result, the coin slides in the inclination direction of the inclined surface, and due to the inertial force, it rolls down in the recess as it is in the downstream direction. Then, the coin collides with the downstream end wall in the recess and bounces upstream.
【００２５】 ここで、この硬貨が選別機構内に転り込んでから下流端壁にて上流側へ跳ね返 るまでの硬貨の凹部内方向への回動角度αを図２（ａ）（ｂ）を用いて説明する 。まず、硬貨３１が選別機構内へ侵入した時点では回動角度αは０である。そし て、硬貨が凹部２５ｂ内を下流方向へ移動する伴って回動角度αは徐々に増加し ていく。そして、硬貨が下流側壁３２に回動角度α2 でもって衝突する。したが って、この下流側壁で跳ね返って上流側へ移動する硬貨の回動角度αは衝突時の 回動角α2 に等しいかそれ以上となる。Here, the turning angle α of the coin inwardly from the time when the coin rolls into the sorting mechanism to the time when the coin bounces to the upstream side at the downstream end wall is shown in FIG. ). First, the turning angle α is 0 when the coin 31 enters the sorting mechanism. Then, as the coin moves in the recess 25b in the downstream direction, the rotation angle α gradually increases. Then, the coin collides with the downstream side wall 32 at the turning angle α 2 . Therefore, the turning angle α of the coin that rebounds on the downstream side wall and moves to the upstream side is equal to or greater than the turning angle α 2 at the time of collision.
【００２６】 そこで、選別機構内の上流側端から任意距離Ｌにおける硬貨の回動角度αは一 義的に定まるので、凹部内の距離Ｌ1 位置に設けられた硬貨衝突部材の先端位置 を回動角度α1 および硬貨の直径や厚み等の形状で決まる所定距離ｄだけ上側支 持部材より凹部内側に設定したとしても、凹部内を上流から下流方向へ転がり降 りる硬貨がこの硬貨衝突部材に衝突することはない。Therefore, since the turning angle α of the coin at an arbitrary distance L from the upstream end in the sorting mechanism is uniquely determined, the tip position of the coin colliding member provided at the distance L 1 position in the recess is rotated. Even if a predetermined distance d determined by the moving angle α 1 and the shape of the coin such as the diameter and thickness of the coin is set inside the recess from the upper support member, the coin that rolls down from the upstream to the downstream in the recess is the coin collision member. Never clash with.
【００２７】 しかし、凹部内の下流端壁で跳ね返った硬貨の回動角度αは下流端壁位置にお ける回動角度α2 以上の値を有しているので、硬貨が上流方向へ移動する過程で 必ず、この硬貨衝突部材に衝突する。However, since the turning angle α of the coin rebounded by the downstream end wall in the recess has a value equal to or larger than the turning angle α 2 at the downstream end wall position, the coin moves in the upstream direction. Be sure to collide with this coin colliding member in the process.
【００２８】 硬貨衝突部材に衝突した硬貨はその進行方向が下流方向または下方向に変化す るが、自己の重力により速やかに下方へ向く。下方には蓄積軌道に連通する開口 部が形成されているので、硬貨はこの開口部に直接落下する。The traveling direction of the coin that collides with the coin colliding member changes to the downstream direction or the downward direction, but the coin rapidly moves downward due to its own gravity. Since an opening is formed in the lower part that communicates with the accumulation track, coins fall directly into this opening.
【００２９】 すなわち、硬貨は硬貨衝突部材の設置位置以上に上流方向へ移動することはな い。よって、凹部内の下流端壁で跳ね返った硬貨は従来装置のように方々に衝突 することはなく、ごく短時間に開口部内へ落下する。よって、跳ね返って次の硬 貨に衝突することが未然に防止される。That is, the coin does not move in the upstream direction beyond the installation position of the coin collision member. Therefore, the coin rebounded from the downstream end wall in the recess does not collide with other people as in the conventional device, but falls into the opening in a very short time. Therefore, it can be prevented from bouncing and colliding with the next coin.

以下本考案の一実施例を図面を用いて説明する。 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
【００３１】 図１は実施例の硬貨選別処理装置の要部を取出して示す断面模式図である。な お、この硬貨選別処理装置全体の外観図は図６に示す一般的な硬貨選別処理装置 と同じである。また、第１，第２の選別機構の概略構成および選別動作原理は図 ７乃至図９で説明した一般的な選別機構１４ａ，１４ｂとほぼ同じである。した がって、同一部分には同一符号を付して重複する部分の詳細説明を省略する。FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view showing a main part of a coin sorting and processing apparatus according to an embodiment. The external view of the entire coin sorting / processing apparatus is the same as that of the general coin sorting / processing apparatus shown in FIG. Further, the schematic configuration of the first and second sorting mechanisms and the principle of sorting operation are almost the same as those of the general sorting mechanisms 14a and 14b described with reference to FIGS. Therefore, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description of the overlapping parts will be omitted.
【００３２】 図１（ｂ）は図７の従来装置のＸ１−Ｘ１線における図８の断面図に相当する 本願実施例装置における断面図である。さらに、図１（ａ）は、図１（ｂ）にお けるＸ２−Ｘ２線における断面図である。FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view of the device of the present application corresponding to the cross-sectional view of FIG. 8 taken along line X1-X1 of the conventional device of FIG. Further, FIG. 1A is a sectional view taken along line X2-X2 in FIG.
【００３３】 すなわち、この実施例装置においては、第２の選別機構１４ｂを構成する基板 １２の表面１２ａ側に刻設された凹部２５ｂ内のほぼ中央位置に硬貨衝突部材と しての円柱状突起４０が基板１２と一体成型されている。具体的には、この円柱 状突起４０は、図１に示すように、凹部２５ｂ内の下流端壁３２から選別される 硬貨３１の外径より若干大きい距離だけ離れた位置に設けられている。That is, in the apparatus of this embodiment, a cylindrical protrusion as a coin colliding member is formed at a substantially central position in the recess 25b formed on the surface 12a side of the substrate 12 constituting the second sorting mechanism 14b. 40 is integrally molded with the substrate 12. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the columnar protrusion 40 is provided at a position slightly larger than the outer diameter of the coin 31 selected from the downstream end wall 32 in the recess 25b.
【００３４】 円柱状突起４０の先端面（前面）４０ａと上側支持部材２６ｂの外面までの距 離ｄは、図２における硬貨３１の凹部２５ｂ内における移動距離Ｌと回動角度α と関係を示す特性図から得られる。すなわち、円柱状突起４０の凹部２５ｂ内に おける設置位置Ｌ1 における回動角度α1 が定まるので、この回動角度α1 と硬 貨３１の外径や厚みと等の形状とから算出できる。なお、実際には、回動角度α は硬貨３１の移動速度や硬貨表面の汚染状態に応じて変化するので、距離ｄは算 出された値より若干大きい値に設定している。The distance d between the tip surface (front surface) 40a of the cylindrical protrusion 40 and the outer surface of the upper support member 26b shows the relationship between the moving distance L of the coin 31 in the recess 25b and the rotation angle α in FIG. Obtained from the characteristic diagram. That is, since the turning angle alpha 1 in the installation position L 1 of definitive in the recess 25b of the cylindrical projections 40 is determined, it can be calculated from the shape of the equal to the outside diameter and thickness of the rotation angle alpha 1 and coins 31. Actually, since the rotation angle α changes depending on the moving speed of the coin 31 and the contamination state of the coin surface, the distance d is set to a value slightly larger than the calculated value.
【００３５】 このような手順で距離ｄを決定することによって、この第２の選別機構１４ｂ 内において、硬貨３１が上流側から下流側へ転がり降りる過程で、硬貨３１が円 柱状突起４０に衝突することはない。By determining the distance d by such a procedure, the coin 31 collides with the cylindrical protrusion 40 in the process of rolling down the coin 31 from the upstream side to the downstream side in the second sorting mechanism 14b. There is no such thing.
【００３６】 次に、このように構成された硬貨選別処理装置の動作を図１（ａ）（ｂ）およ び図３を用いて説明する。Next, the operation of the coin sorting / processing apparatus thus configured will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 (a), 1 (b) and 3.
【００３７】 図５に示す硬貨投入口４から投入された硬貨３１は図６に示す硬貨選別処理装 置７の基板１２の表面１２ａに形成された選別軌道１３の軌道リブ１３ａ上を上 流側から下流側へ転がり降りていく。そして、第１の選別機構１４ａでもって１ ００円硬貨の外径未満の硬貨が図９に示した選別動作でもって選別されて下方の 返却ダクト１９に連通する開口部３０ａ内へ落下する。The coins 31 inserted from the coin insertion port 4 shown in FIG. 5 flow upward on the track ribs 13a of the selection track 13 formed on the surface 12a of the substrate 12 of the coin selection processing device 7 shown in FIG. To the downstream side. Then, coins having an outer diameter smaller than that of the 100-yen coin are sorted by the first sorting mechanism 14a by the sorting operation shown in FIG. 9 and fall into the opening 30a communicating with the lower return duct 19.
【００３８】 第１の選別機構１４ａで選別されなかった、１００円硬貨の外径以上の外径を 有した硬貨３１は軌道リブ１３ａの上面に形成された傾斜面２８上を選別軌道１ ３に沿って転がり降りて、第１の選別機構１４ａの下流側に位置する第２の選別 機構１４ｂ内へ侵入する。The coin 31 having an outer diameter equal to or larger than that of the 100-yen coin, which has not been sorted by the first sorting mechanism 14a, is transferred to the sorting track 13 on the inclined surface 28 formed on the upper surface of the track rib 13a. It rolls down along and invades into the second sorting mechanism 14b located on the downstream side of the first sorting mechanism 14a.
【００３９】 第２の選別機構１４ｂ内へ転がり込んだ硬貨３１は軌道リブ１３ａに形成され た傾斜面２８上を選別軌道１３に沿って転がり降りる。このとき、硬貨３１の上 端部は上側支持部材２６ｂにて凹部２５ｂ内へ回動しないように支持され、かつ 下端部は下側支持部材２７ｂによって、傾斜面２８における傾斜方向に滑り落ち ないように支持されている。The coins 31 rolled into the second sorting mechanism 14b roll down along the sorting track 13 on the inclined surface 28 formed on the track rib 13a. At this time, the upper end of the coin 31 is supported by the upper support member 26b so as not to rotate into the recess 25b, and the lower end thereof is prevented from sliding down in the inclination direction of the inclined surface 28 by the lower support member 27b. Supported by.
【００４０】 そして、硬貨３１の外径が１００円硬貨の外径を越える場合、すなわち、侵入 した硬貨３１が１０円硬貨であれば、この硬貨３１は傾斜面２８，上側支持部材 ２６ｂおよび下側支持部材２７ｂでもって侵入時と同じ姿勢を保持したまま傾斜 方向に滑べり落ちることなく、選別軌道１３に沿ってこの第２の選別機構１４ｂ 位置を通り過ぎていく。Then, when the outer diameter of the coin 31 exceeds the outer diameter of the 100-yen coin, that is, when the coin 31 that has entered is a 10-yen coin, the coin 31 is the inclined surface 28, the upper support member 26b, and the lower side. The support member 27b passes the position of the second selection mechanism 14b along the selection track 13 without sliding down in the inclined direction while keeping the same posture as when it entered.
【００４１】 また、侵入した硬貨３１の外径が１００円硬貨以下の場合、すなわち侵入した 硬貨３１が１００円硬貨であれば、この硬貨３１の上端部が上側支持部材２６ｂ にて支持されなくなって、上端部が凹部２５ｂ内へ回動する。すると、硬貨３１ は前述した上下支持部材２６ｂ，２７ｂおよび傾斜面２８による３点支持が無く なり、硬貨３１はその上端が凹部２５ｂ内へ回動開始する。硬貨３１が回動する と、凹部２５ｂ内の傾斜面２９および軌道リブ１３ａの傾斜面２８上を傾斜方向 に滑落開始する。If the coin 31 that has entered has an outer diameter of 100 yen or less, that is, if the coin 31 that has entered is a 100 yen coin, the upper end of the coin 31 is not supported by the upper support member 26b. , The upper end rotates into the recess 25b. Then, the coin 31 loses the above-mentioned three-point support by the upper and lower support members 26b and 27b and the inclined surface 28, and the upper end of the coin 31 starts to rotate into the recess 25b. When the coin 31 rotates, it starts to slide in the inclined direction on the inclined surface 29 in the recess 25b and the inclined surface 28 of the track rib 13a.
【００４２】 硬貨３１の第２の選別機構１４ｂに侵入する時の速度が小さい時は、図３（ｂ ）に示すように、硬貨３１は傾斜面２９，２８の傾斜方向に滑るとともに、自重 の慣性力によって、そのまま凹部２５ｂ内を凹部内の下流端壁３２側方向へ転が り降りる。この場合、速度が小さいので、凹部２５ｂ内の下流端壁３２に達する 前に傾斜面２９，２８上を滑り落ちて下方の開口部３０ｂ内へ落ち込む。When the speed at which the coin 31 enters the second sorting mechanism 14b is low, the coin 31 slides in the inclination direction of the inclined surfaces 29 and 28 and has its own weight, as shown in FIG. 3 (b). Due to the inertial force, it rolls down in the recess 25b toward the downstream end wall 32 side in the recess as it is. In this case, since the speed is low, the sliding surface slides down on the inclined surfaces 29 and 28 before reaching the downstream end wall 32 in the concave portion 25b and drops into the lower opening portion 30b.
【００４３】 なお、前述したように、硬貨３１が上流から下流方向へ転がり降りる場合は、 この硬貨３１は円柱状突起４０の先端面４０ａの手前を通過してこの円柱状突起 ４０に衝突することはない。As described above, when the coin 31 rolls down from the upstream side to the downstream side, the coin 31 passes before the tip surface 40 a of the columnar protrusion 40 and collides with the columnar protrusion 40. There is no.
【００４４】 一方、硬貨３１の第２の選別機構１４ｂに侵入する時の速度が大きい時は、図 ３（ａ）に示すように、硬貨３１は、傾斜面２９，２８の傾斜方向に滑るととも に、自重の慣性力によって、選別軌道１３の下流方向へ回動角度αを増加しなが ら転がり降り、凹部２５ｂ内の下流端壁３２に回動角度α2 でもって衝突する。 下流肺壁３２に衝突した硬貨３１は上流側に跳ね返り、上流方向へ移動開始する 。上流方向へ移動する硬貨３１は、回動角度αが衝突時の回動角度α2 近傍かそ れ以上であるのて、上流方向へ移動する過程で円柱状突起４０の側面に衝突する 。On the other hand, when the coin 31 enters the second sorting mechanism 14b at a high speed, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the coin 31 slips in the inclination direction of the inclined surfaces 29 and 28. At the same time, due to the inertial force of its own weight, it rolls down while increasing the turning angle α in the downstream direction of the selection track 13 and collides with the downstream end wall 32 in the recess 25b at the turning angle α 2 . The coin 31 that has collided with the downstream lung wall 32 bounces to the upstream side and starts moving in the upstream direction. The coin 31 moving in the upstream direction collides with the side surface of the cylindrical protrusion 40 in the process of moving in the upstream direction because the rotation angle α is in the vicinity of or more than the rotation angle α 2 at the time of collision.
【００４５】 硬貨３１は凹部２５ｂ内を上流方向へ移動する過程においても多少は傾斜面２ ８，２９上を下方へ滑っているので、硬貨３１は、自己の外周面の進行方向の先 端部より上側部分でもって円柱状突起４０に衝突する。よって、衝突後の硬貨３ １の進行方向は大きく下方向へ変化する。下方には蓄積軌道２０に連通する開口 部３０ｂが形成されているので、硬貨３１はごく短時間にこの開口部３０ｂ内に 落下する。Since the coin 31 slides downward on the inclined surfaces 28 and 29 to some extent even in the process of moving in the recess 25b in the upstream direction, the coin 31 moves toward the forward end portion of its outer peripheral surface in the traveling direction. The upper portion collides with the columnar protrusion 40. Therefore, the traveling direction of the coin 31 after the collision largely changes downward. Since the opening 30b communicating with the accumulation track 20 is formed below, the coin 31 drops into the opening 30b in a very short time.
【００４６】 すなわち、硬貨３１は円柱状突起４０の設置位置以上に上流方向へ移動するこ とはない。よって、凹部２５ｂ内の下流端壁３２で跳ね返った硬貨３１は従来装 置のように方々に衝突することはなく、ごく短時間に開口部３０内へ落下する。 よって、跳ね返って次の硬貨３１ａに衝突することが未然に防止される。That is, the coin 31 does not move in the upstream direction beyond the installation position of the cylindrical protrusion 40. Therefore, the coin 31 rebounded by the downstream end wall 32 in the recess 25b does not collide with other people as in the conventional device, and falls into the opening 30 in a very short time. Therefore, it is prevented from bouncing back and colliding with the next coin 31a.
【００４７】 また、次の硬貨３１ａと重なり合うこともない。したがって、開口部３０ｂに おいて硬貨詰り現象が発生することはない。Further, it does not overlap with the next coin 31a. Therefore, the coin jamming phenomenon does not occur at the opening 30b.
【００４８】 よって、この硬貨選別処理装置７が組込まれた料金徴収式電話機や自動販売機 の信頼性を大幅に向上できる。Therefore, the reliability of the toll collection type telephone or the vending machine in which the coin sorting and processing device 7 is incorporated can be significantly improved.
【００４９】 図４（ａ）（ｂ）（ｃ）は本考案の他の実施例に係わる硬貨選別処理装置の要 部を取出してそれそれ異なる方向に切断した場合の各断面を示す図である。図１ （ａ）（ｂ）に示す実施例と同一部分には同一符号が付してある。よって、重複 する部分の詳細説明は省略されている。4 (a), (b) and (c) are views showing respective cross sections when a main part of a coin sorting apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention is taken out and cut in different directions. .. The same parts as those in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B are designated by the same reference numerals. Therefore, detailed description of the overlapping parts is omitted.
【００５０】 この実施例装置においては、凹部２５ｂ内に硬貨衝突部材としての傾斜部材４ １が基板１２に対して一体成型されている。この傾斜部材４１の前面（先端面） ４１ａと上側支持部材２６ｂとの間の距離ｄは選別軌道方向の位置に応じて変化 する。そして、この距離ｄと凹部２５ｂの硬貨３１の移動方向距離Ｌとの関係は 、第２図（ｂ）に示した距離Ｌと回動角度αとの関係を示す特性に対応して定め られている。In this embodiment, the inclined member 41 as a coin collision member is integrally molded with the substrate 12 in the recess 25b. The distance d between the front surface (front end surface) 41a of the inclined member 41 and the upper support member 26b changes depending on the position in the selection track direction. The relationship between the distance d and the moving direction distance L of the coin 31 in the recess 25b is determined in correspondence with the characteristic indicating the relationship between the distance L and the rotation angle α shown in FIG. 2 (b). There is.
【００５１】 したがって、この第２の選別機構１４ｂ内へ侵入した選別されるべき硬貨３１ は、前記傾斜部材４１にその進路を邪魔されることなく、凹部２５ｂ内の下流端 壁３２に衝突する。そして、この下流端壁３２にて上流方向へ跳ね返った硬貨３ １は前記傾斜部４１の側面４１ｂに衝突する。その結果、硬貨３１の進行方向は 下方へ変更させられる。よって、前述した実施例とほぼ同様の効果を得ることが 可能である。Therefore, the coins 31 to be sorted that have entered the second sorting mechanism 14b collide with the downstream end wall 32 in the recess 25b without being obstructed by the inclined member 41 in its course. Then, the coin 31 bounced in the upstream direction by the downstream end wall 32 collides with the side surface 41 b of the inclined portion 41. As a result, the traveling direction of the coin 31 is changed downward. Therefore, it is possible to obtain substantially the same effect as the above-mentioned embodiment.
【００５２】[0052]
【考案の効果】 以上説明したように本考案の硬貨選別処理装置によれば、軌道リブに沿って刻 設された凹部内に、硬貨の選別動作に全く影響を及ぼさない硬貨衝突部材を設け ている。したがって、たとえ上側支持部材の取付位置によって選別された硬貨が 凹部内を下流端方向に向って滑り落ちて下流端壁に衝突して上流方向へ跳ね返っ たとしても、硬貨衝突部材に衝突することによって、硬貨はそれ以上上流方向へ 移動することはない。その結果、短時間内に下方の開口部へ落下し、この硬貨が 次の硬貨と衝突することが未然に防止でき、硬貨詰りの発生確率を大幅に低減で き、この装置が組込まれた料金徴収式電話機や自動販売機等の信頼性を大幅に向 上できる。As described above, according to the coin sorting / processing apparatus of the present invention, the coin colliding member that does not affect the coin sorting operation is provided in the recess formed along the track rib. There is. Therefore, even if coins selected by the mounting position of the upper support member slide down in the recess toward the downstream end, collide with the downstream end wall and bounce back in the upstream direction, the coin collides with the coin colliding member. , Coins will not move further upstream. As a result, it is possible to prevent this coin from collapsing with the next coin within a short time and colliding with the next coin, and it is possible to greatly reduce the probability of coin jamming. The reliability of collection-type telephones and vending machines can be greatly improved.
