Description of the Related Art A coin handling device such as a vending machine, a depositing / dispensing device, and a money changer is provided with a coin payout mechanism for paying out coins as change, money for change, and the like. In retail stores such as supermarkets, restaurants and other restaurants, and financial institutions where this type of coin handling equipment is installed, efficiency is improved by unmanned operation, promotion of cost reduction, space saving, and labor. In order to satisfy various demands such as shortening of time, demand for coin handling apparatuses having a function of automatically paying out various kinds of small amount of coins as change or the like is increasing. A coin dispensing machine used in this type of coin handling device is provided with a coin hopper provided for each type of coin for discharging a specified number of coins of a specified denomination by a specified number of coins, and receiving and discharging coins discharged from each coin hopper. It has a conveyor belt and the like for conveying to the mouth. FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing a configuration example of a conventional coin dispensing mechanism.
A configuration called a so-called scraping transport mechanism is shown. This scraping-up transport mechanism transports coins C discharged from a coin hopper 1 disposed below the coin handling device to a transport belt 2.
After receiving them, they are separated one by one by a separation roller 3 and then opposing surfaces 4a, 5a of two scraping belts 4, 5

を転倒させることはできなくなる。Further, when the transport belt 2 having a horizontal transport surface is configured to receive the coins discharged from the coin hopper while driving the transport belt 2 at a certain speed or more, the coin landed on the transport surface of the transport belt 2 in an upright state. When the coin is conveyed while maintaining its posture, it follows the movement of the conveyor belt and rotates (self-rotates), so that a rotating force is generated on the upright coin in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the conveying surface, and both coins are rotated. When the rotational forces are balanced, the transport force on the transport belt 2 side is lost, and the coins stagnate on the transport surface in an upright state. In addition, when the reverse rotation force of the upright coin exceeds the transfer force of the transfer surface, the coin runs backward in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the transfer surface in a state where the coin stands upright. Such a phenomenon of the self-running of the coin causes a problem of poor coin payout. In addition, such a phenomenon of self-propelled coins occurs not only on the transport belt surface stretched horizontally as described above, but also by continuously arranging two transport belts and placing coins on one belt from the other. When the coin is transported, it also occurs when a coin standing upright fits into a recess formed in a connecting portion between the two belts and starts rotating.
In this case as well, a drawback such as poor payout due to stagnation of coins occurs. Since such a problem of poor conveyance and dispensing due to the self-propelled coin becomes a cause for hindering the advance of the coin, it can be solved even by using the above separation roller located downstream from the place where the self-propelled coin is generated. Obviously you can't. By the way, in a coin handling device having a small number of coins and a small number of coins to be used as change, the width of the transport belt is relatively narrow, so that the inner walls of both side walls erected along both side edges of the transport belt are respectively provided. By providing the projections and the like, it becomes possible to urge the upright coin toward the opposite side wall by the projections provided on one side wall and to fall down by the projections provided on the opposite side wall. However, in coin handling devices used at retail stores such as supermarkets and the like, coins used as change vary widely, including small coins, and the number of change coins increases. It is required to be wider. However, when the width of the transport belt is increased, the range in which the upright coin can be moved to the opposite side wall by the protrusion protruding inward from both side walls or the function of defeating the upright coin moving near the side wall can be exhibited. Limited, it is impossible to overturn an upright coin passing through the central portion of the conveyor belt.

原因となる。The characteristic configuration of the present invention is the coin hopper 1
It is assumed that coins are ejected one by one from the upstream transport surface 12a, and no coin separating means is provided downstream of the upstream transport surface 12a. By controlling the transport speeds of the transport belts 12 and 14 at predetermined timings, the occurrence of jamming due to coin double feeding is prevented. More specifically, while the coins C are being ejected one by one from the coin hopper 11 at a predetermined interval, the controller 20 controls the transport of the first transport belt 12 that receives each coin on the upstream transport surface 20a. The speed (at this time, the pick-up transport belt 14 is also synchronized) is controlled to be low enough to allow the subsequent coin to drop reliably behind the coin previously discharged on the upstream transport surface, Immediately after all coins have been discharged onto the upstream transport surface 12a, both transport belts 12, 14
Is driven at a high speed, guided into the scraping conveyance path 16 and quickly discharged into the receiving tray 17 from the discharge port 16a. More specifically, assuming that coins are discharged one by one from the coin hopper 11 at a pace of, for example, six per second, if the transport speed of the transport belt 12 is too high at the time of discharging coins, the interval between the coins is too large. FIG. 4
In the case where a separation means such as a separation roller is provided on the downstream side as in the conventional example shown in FIG. 1 and the conveyance belt and the scraping-up conveyance belt are independently separated, the coins falling from the coin hopper 1 partially overlap. The transport speed of the transport belt 2 was reduced to a degree, and the coins that were overlapped were separated by the separating means and then guided into the scraping transport path 6 to be scraped and transported in the vertical direction. However, as in the present invention, one transport belt 12 is composed of the horizontal transport surface 12a and the upward transport portion 12b, and no special separating means is provided, and the scrape-up transport belt 14 and the transport belt 12 are synchronized. In the case of adopting the driving configuration, unless there is a guarantee that the coins C falling from the coin hopper 11 can enter the scraping transport path 16 one by one, it is ensured that the coins in the scraping transport path 16 are jammed. Can not be prevented. That is, FIGS. 2A and 2B show a mode in which coins C (C1, C2, and C3) discharged from the coin hopper 11 are deposited on the upstream transport surface 12a of the transport belt 12, and If the transport speed of the transport belt 12 is too low relative to the drop pitch of the coins ejected one by one from the coin hopper 11, the coins C2 and C3 that have fallen later than the preceding coin C1 as shown in FIG. In this case, a plurality of coins enter the scraping transport path 16 while maintaining the overlapping state, causing coins to be jammed in the scraping transport path 16. Become.

上げ搬送を実現する。On the other hand, when the transport speed of the transport belt 12 with respect to the drop pitch of coins is an appropriate low speed, as shown in FIG. , C3 are seated in an overlapped state, and by entering the scraping conveyance path 16 in this state, the coins C1 are sequentially moved from the preceding coin C1 by the scraping conveyance sections 12A and 14A constituting the entrance of the scraping conveyance path 16. The sheets are conveyed one by one in the vertical direction according to the order of nip and discharge. In the present invention, the transport speed of the transport belt is set so that the ideal coin overlapping state can be realized. Ideally, for example, it is preferable that the transport speed is such that the subsequent coin overlaps the position of the rear half of the diameter of the preceding coin. For example, if six coins are discharged from the coin hopper 11 per second, the low-speed transport speed is set to about 100 mm / sec. Then, after all coins have been paid out from all coin hoppers, the transport belts 12 and 14 are transported at high speed (for example, 1000 m / sec).
Switch to c) and discharge to the tray 17 in a short time. FIG.
The coin group that has entered the entrance of the pick-up transport path 16 in the normal overlapping state of (a) is sequentially nipped into the entrance from the preceding coin C1 and fed in, and one by one the scrape transport path 1
6 is conveyed. For this reason, there is no room for coin jamming. Further, even if two or three coins may enter from the entrance of the scraping transport path 16 in a state of being overlapped due to some special circumstances, a margin is required in the configuration of the belt surface constituting the scraping transport path 16. By providing
If a configuration is adopted in which coin jamming does not occur even when a plurality of overlapping sheets are transported simultaneously, it is possible to prevent a situation in which coin jamming occurs sporadically. Although only one coin hopper 11 is provided in FIG. 1, coin hoppers for each denomination are actually arranged on the horizontal transport surface 12a along the transport direction. Then, the coins discharged from the coin hopper for each denomination at the same pitch are deposited on the horizontal transport surface 12a in an ideal state as shown in FIG. 2 (a), and then transported in the forward direction. Achieves no-clogging scraping transport.

定着して自走し易くなる。Next, in the case of a transport belt for transporting coins on a horizontal transport surface, if the horizontal transport distance becomes long due to the enlargement of the apparatus, one belt extends over the entire length of the horizontal path. Is difficult in terms of driving force and the like, and it is necessary to form a horizontal conveyance path in which a plurality of endless belts are connected and arranged. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, in the conventional scraping-up transport mechanism, a horizontal transport surface 2a and a scraping belt 4 forming a scraping transport path 6 are provided.
Since there is a joint between the coin and the coin, as shown in FIG. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the self-supporting coin can be moved in the forward direction by arranging the downstream belt 4 below and forming a step-like shape. However, it is difficult to perform reverse transport when the transport direction is reversed, so that it cannot be applied to a type capable of bidirectional transport. Further, even if a configuration is employed in which a protrusion or the like for preventing the coin from standing independently is provided on the side wall on the front side of the joint, in order to apply this to the bidirectional transport type, the same configuration is provided at two places before and after the joint. It is necessary to arrange them, and the configuration becomes complicated. 3 (a), 3 (b) and 3 (c) are embodiments showing a configuration for solving such a problem, wherein (a) is a plan view, (b) is an AA cross-sectional view,
(c) is the figure which looked at (a) from the B direction.

は上記実施形態に示したものと同様である。Therefore, for example, when the coin C discharged from the coin hopper located to the left in FIGS. 3A and 3B is transported upright and self-propelled along the inner wall of the side wall 37 as shown in FIG. In the process in which the conveyor belt 30 conveys the free standing coin to the right, first, the upper part of the free standing coin C comes into contact with the surface of the inclined plate 41, and the coin moves to the opposite side in the width direction along the surface of the inclined plate 41. . Some coins lose their balance in the process of moving in the width direction and fall down, but coins that do not fall down in the process of movement move to the opposite side wall 38, but the side wall 38 has a protrusion as shown in FIG. Since 46 is protruded, the side wall 3
8, while the upper part of the free-standing coin abuts on the protrusion 46 and is restricted from moving in the width direction, only the lower part of the coin moves further in the same direction by the transport belt 30, so that the coin balances. Loses and falls on the conveyor belt. The coins that have fallen on the conveyor belt are conveyed downstream from the coin passage gap 42. As described above, the coin is knocked down immediately before reaching the joint, so that the free-standing coin is prevented from self-running in the concave portion of the joint, and the coin dispensing failure is prevented. Therefore, the inclination angle θ of the inclined plate 41 with respect to the side walls 27 and 38 is set to an angle ideal for exerting the coin overturning action as described above. Also, appropriate values are determined for the height width of the inclined plate 41 and the height width of the gap 42 in consideration of various conditions such as the diameter of the coin to be overturned. According to the self-propelled canceling mechanism 40 of the present invention, the free-standing coin initially located at one of the side walls 37 and at the center in the width direction of the conveyor belt 30 is surely shifted toward the opposite side wall 38 without exception. Eventually, the protrusion 46 protruding from the side wall 38, the inclined plate 41, and the transport belt 30
It is possible to defeat the coin in cooperation with. It goes without saying that a free-standing coin moving along the side wall 38 from the beginning hits the projection 46 and is knocked down. Note that the inclined plate 4
Since the projection 45 is also provided on the side wall 37 on the downstream side in the transport direction from the position 1, even when the two transport belts 30 and 31 transport coins in the opposite direction, the inclined plate 41 and the projection 45
In cooperation with, independent coins can be reliably knocked down. Next, in the above-described embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the self-propelled canceling mechanism 40 is disposed at the joint between the two conveyor belts, so that coins that are going to self-run at the joint are overturned. This is because the joint between the two conveyor belts is a recess, and self-propelled coins are likely to self-run. However, self-propelled coins often occur even on a flat conveyor belt surface.
For this reason, it is not necessary to limit the installation location of the self-propelled eliminating mechanism 40 to a joint, and by arranging the self-propelled eliminating mechanism 40 at an arbitrary place (a place other than the joint) on the flat conveyance belt surface, Self-propelled coins can be effectively prevented. The configuration of the self-propelled cancellation mechanism 40 in this case is the same as that shown in the above embodiment.

確実に防止することができる。As described above, according to the present invention, coins sequentially discharged from a coin hopper can be used in a coin scraping and conveying device used in a coin handling device without using an expensive separating mechanism including a separating roller and the like. When the plurality of coins are conveyed while being overlapped on the conveyance belt, it is possible to prevent the plurality of coins from being jammed in the conveyance path. In addition, since the horizontal transport section and a part of the scraping transport section are composed of a single transport belt, the configuration is simplified, and the transport speed of the transport belt is reduced in accordance with the coin ejection timing from the coin hopper. Idealized permutation of coins dropped on the transport surface, and after the discharge of coins, the transport speed is driven at high speed to carry out scraped transport one by one, so that coin jamming in the scraped transport path is reliably prevented. can do. Further, according to the present invention, in the self-propelled canceling mechanism, coins standing upright at a stepped portion on a horizontal conveying surface or in a recess formed at a connecting portion of two conveying belts stagnate, Alternatively, it is possible to prevent coins from being dispensed poorly due to reverse running. That is, an inclined plate is arranged at a position where self-propelling occurs (a joint of two conveyor belts, or a flat conveyor surface) so as to intersect the width direction of the conveyor belt, and furthermore, a protrusion is provided on a side wall of the conveyor belt. The free-standing coins are conveyed by the conveying belt toward one side wall by the inclined plate, and fall down by the protrusion before reaching the side wall. Therefore, even a free-standing coin passing through a position near the one edge of the wide conveyor belt or a central portion can be securely turned over, and the stagnation and dispensing failure due to the self-running of the coin can be reliably prevented.
