In particular, the centrifugal force of the rotating disk sends the coin to the coin passage, and this rf! It relates to a coin sending device that conveys coins in a cargo passageway using a belt.

[Conventional technology]

In the conventional coin feeding device, a3 supplies coins to the top of a rotating disk, and the rotating disk, ! ? The coin is moved to the periphery by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the rotating disk, and the coin thickness is controlled by a coin thickness regulating member placed at the top of the periphery of the rotating disk to allow only one coin to pass through. Coin C The coins are conveyed by pressing them against the upper surface of the coin passage, and after performing necessary processing such as counting or identification, the coins are sent out of the device. The grip that supports the conveyor belt moves up and down according to the thickness of the conveyor belt.
: It was supported.

In addition, as for the driving method of the conveyor belt and rotating disk,
Each of them was driven using a dedicated Tanabata festival.

(Problem that the invention solves) Coins sent to the coin passage by the rotating disk are conveyed by being pressed against the coin passage-F surface by a conveyor belt installed above the upper surface of the coin passage. Therefore, since the upper surface of the coin passage gets worn by the coins, it is necessary to select a month t'l with a small friction coefficient and wear resistance (even) for this coin passage. Such materials are very expensive, which poses an obstacle to reducing the cost of the device.

In addition, (J, with this J-Una conveyance method, the Uf! cargo being conveyed is easily damaged, the durability of the conveyor belt I- is reduced, and the conveyor belt is not connected to the hard L1 path. (-J) requires a 41 ffi support mechanism to move the aircraft 11. This poses a problem in that it becomes complicated for the aircraft 1F+.

In addition, separate dedicated motors were directly installed to drive the conveyor belt and rotating disk, so two seven-stage motors were required, which increased the cost and required the installation location of each motor. Two locations were required, making it impossible to move the space to the right.
In addition, since the conveyor belt and the rotating disk are individually driven by motors 1211, if, for example, the drive of the rotating disk is not stopped even though the conveyor belt has been stopped, the rotation 1174 from the disk in the coin passage may occur. The hard n is pushed in (α<
1st jam occurs, and if the drive of the conveyor belt is not stopped even though the drive of the rotating disk is stopped, the coins are not fed into the coin passage, but only the conveyor belt 11 spins idly. There was a problem with the flow of coins.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, a belt for conveying coins is disposed in a state projecting from the 4Z surface side of the coin passage onto the coin passage, and the coins sent from the rotating disk to the coin passage are transferred to a bell mill. Since the coins are transported on top of the coins, there is less contact pressure between the coins and the coin passage, and there is less wear on the hard E1 passage. There is no need to use materials, reducing the cost of the device, and furthermore, there is no need to use coins that are conveyed through the coin passage. Due to the waves, (the ingredients are (=J) difficult to hear, and the bell (~'s?, 14
The durability is improved, and since there is no need to attach a belt to the coin passage surface as in the past, the mechanism can be simplified.

In addition, a part of the bell l-, which transmits the rotation from the motor to the rotating disc, was used for transporting coins in the coin passage, so one motor could transfer the coins to the rotating disc and the bell. Conventionally, the rotating disk and belt were driven separately in the d3, but the number of parts such as some can be reduced, and the cost of the device can be reduced.
Furthermore, since the rotation of the rotating disk and the rotation of the belt always start and stop at the same time, the flow of the coins in the rotating disk and the coin passage does not stagnate or the intervals between the coins increase. A smooth flow can be created.
