Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a mechanism for a coin inserter.

Generally, the coin slot of a vending machine or ticket vending machine is used to input coins one after another into a coin sorter. This is because the coin sorting machine has a certain amount of time required for mechanical sorting, and it is not possible to insert coins beyond the capacity of this sorting time. Some devices have a shutter that closes the input port for a certain period of time.

However, from the user's point of view, it would be easier to insert 3 or 4 coins at the same time in one hand, or because the slot is only wide enough to hold 3 or 4 coins at the tip of one finger. The operator is forced to insert one ticket at a time.For this reason, the time interval for inserting tickets may be two or three times longer than the VC's approval, resulting in long waiting times at ticket vending machines at stations, etc. The present invention was developed with the aim of solving these absurdities and shortcomings.It is possible to insert multiple coins at the same time, and it is also possible to insert coins into the coin sorter. teshi1,
This device can feed coins into the coin sorter in the minimum time required for sorting, eliminating the need to feed each coin into the slot with a fingertip operation, and rationally shortening the total sorting time of the coin sorter. The present invention provides an economical coin inserter that does not require electricity or the like.

This will be explained below according to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the coin inserter according to the present invention, with Figure 1 (A) being a front view, Figure 1 (B) being a left side view, and Figure 1 (C) being a right side view. Show me the diagram.

FIG. 2 shows a section a-a of FIG. 1(A), and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the main parts of FIG.

In each figure, / is a coin slot with a width that allows several coins to be inserted at the same time. 2 is an opening into which one inserted coin will fall, and 3 is an opening where the previous coin will fall. The rear part is a guide piece that guides the next coin to the drop slot, the part (g) is a coin drop groove with a slight margin in the thickness of one coin, and the part (yield) is a rotating cam fixed to the main shaft (Fig. 3). As shown in the figure, a coin receiving part 7 is formed on the right side of the figure, and a claw T is formed on the upper side of the figure, and there is a weight at the bottom of the claw T, and a rotating cam! Under normal conditions, it is formed so that it maintains the position shown in Figure 1 under its own weight, and there is a hole π for the spring hook on the left side. ///
The bust tube cam has a pawl /2 to prevent the coin from falling, and a rotating arm /3 is formed at both ends of the pawl /2. - There are bearings on both sides of the force drop groove, and a rotating cam! There is a spring/o that interlocks and controls the and stopper cam//.

However, as shown in the figure, the rotating arm /jtd of the stopper cam // is slid onto the main shaft B astride the rotating camshaft as shown in the figure, and the spring /! One end is hung on the stopper cam // and the other end is inserted into the hole / θ of the rotating cam. The coin receiving portion 2 is configured to protrude into the falling groove 41 and is incorporated into the bearing/4t via the main shaft. The spring /O is located near the main shaft A of the pawl 7.2 of the stopper cam //,
Rotating cam! It is configured to be pressed against the claw l of. 7g is a heavy vertical pendulum for controlling the rotational speed of main shaft B, and in the center is a
The collar 77 is fully formed to be press-fitted or screwed into the 1Wl+ &, and the collar 77 has a spring/? , and weights /9 are fixed to each end thereof.

Figures 4 to 8 are simplified diagrams showing the shape IF'(z) of the rotary cam and stopper cam that rotate as the coin falls, and in each figure (A) is a partially cutaway front view, (B
) is a side view.

Next, the operation of the coin inserter of the present invention will be fully explained in detail. Figures 4 to 71 show the rotating cam as the coin falls!
is rotated clockwise in the order shown in the figure, and in Figure 8, the gravity of the coin on rotating cam j is removed, and the rotating cam! The figure shows a state in which the body rotates to the left under its own weight and returns to its normal position.

Figure 4 is a diagram where multiple coins are inserted into the coin slot / at the same time (in the figure, /i shows 2 coins). Since there is only a gap for one coin in the opening, one coin is inserted first. The cam falls down and rotates! When the next coin reaches the coin receiving part 7, the next coin is on the guide piece 3.

In Figure 5, the first coin is a rotating cam! Ride on the coin receiving part 7 and rotate the cam with its gravity! rotates clockwise around the main shaft 4' (z), and along with this rotation, the stopper cam// also rotates in conjunction, and the rotary arm/3 continues to rotate at the same time until it reaches the end face of the drop groove, and its claw/2 into the falling groove to create a system to prevent the next coin from falling.

At this time, the first coin passes through the opening 2 and moves to the falling groove, and the next coin is moved through the opening 2 by the inducer piece 3.
The coin will be guided to a state where it will rest on the first coin with its edge.

Figure 6 shows the cam rotating due to the gravity of the coin in the state shown in Figure 5! continues to rotate, and the second coin also falls, but this is shown to be prevented from falling by the claw /2 of the stopper cam //.

FIG. 7 shows a state in which the rotating cam J continues to rotate further due to the gravity of the first coin, and the second coin continues to be prevented from falling by the claw /2 as shown in FIG.

In this way the cam rotates with the gravity of the first coin! continues to rotate further, and when this coin falls from the falling groove, the rotating camouflage rotates to the left by the force of the weight that does not lose its rotational force ten thousand times to the right, returning to the normal position #, ', l. Move.

In Figure 8, the rotating camouflage has rotated to the left and returned to the position shown in the figure, but the next coin has not yet fallen due to the claw/2. But a rotating cam! When it rotates further to the left and approaches the normal position, the rotating cam! Stopper cam with claw t// claw/
2 is pushed back, and the rotating cam! The stopper cam//ha rotates counterclockwise in conjunction with the stopper cam//, and when the pawl/2 releases the blocking state of the next coin, the second coin falls and the rotating cam j
Coin receiver 7V ride, rotating cam again! begins to rotate to the right.

In this way, by repeating the right rotation operation and the left recovery rotation operation, a plurality of coins that have been coined at the same time are sequentially dropped into one coin.

Also, in order to make the falling speed of each coin, that is, the time interval, open side 1, as shown in Figs. is installed, and this pendulum/Moment of inertia of B) is fully utilized.A detailed explanation of the principle will be omitted, but the spring/moment of inertia of
By appropriately selecting the constant / and the weight /9 at both ends, it is possible to control the rotational speed within the practically necessary range.

As described above, the present invention enables simultaneous insertion of a plurality of coins with a simple mechanism, and has extremely great practical effects when used in ticket vending machines, automatic vending machines, etc.
