Description of the Related Art Conventionally, Japanese Patent No. 2838641 is known as an apparatus incorporated in a sorting section of a coin processing machine for stopping, passing, sorting, and the like of conveyed coins. This device includes a pair of protrudable projecting members provided on a coin conveyance path, and operates these projecting members according to the result of discrimination at the discriminating section. By controlling the operation of each projecting member, To stop, pass, or sort the conveyed coins. To rotate these protruding members, a rotary solenoid is used.

った。However, when the rotary solenoid is operated, the transmitting member for transmitting the rotation to the protruding member vigorously collides with the restricting stopper pin when actuated, and bounces momentarily due to the repulsive force. was there. That is, when the transmitting member collides with the restricting stopper pin on the protruding side when the projecting member is projected into the transport path to prevent the passage of coins, the repulsive force causes the transmitting member to rotate reversely for a moment, and the transport The projecting member is retracted for a moment. Then, at that moment, there is a problem that a coin that the user wants to block passes through. Also,
Conversely, even when the projecting member is retracted from the transport path to allow the coin to pass, the transmission member collides with the stopper pin for restriction on the retreat side, and the repulsive force causes the transmission member to rotate momentarily in the reverse direction, thereby causing the coin to rotate in the transport path. The protruding member will protrude. Then, there was a problem that coins to be passed were stopped.

る。In order to achieve the above object, a rotary solenoid drive transmission mechanism according to the present invention comprises a rotary solenoid, a transmission member rotationally driven by the rotary solenoid, and a pressure contact with the transmission member. And a brake stopper member capable of restricting the movement of the brake member. The brake stopper member comes into contact with the brake member during the rotation of the transmission member by the rotary solenoid. The rotation of the transmission member is restricted by the frictional force between the transmission member and the brake member.

バウンドすることがない。Thus, when the transmission member is driven to rotate by the rotary solenoid, the brake member pressed against the transmission member rotates integrally. However, during the rotation drive, the brake member comes into contact with the braking stopper member. The movement is restricted. Then, a rotational resistance is generated by the frictional force between the transmitting member, which is rotationally driven thereafter, and the brake member, which is stopped, so that a brake is applied. Therefore, when the transmission member is finally brought into contact with the regulating stopper member and its rotation is regulated, the momentum of the rotation is weakened,
Never bounce.

Regulates further rotation of the Then, the brake member 107 pressed by the compression spring 127 with the first transmission member 103, which continues to rotate until it comes into contact with the protrusion-side stopper member 113, generates rotation resistance with an appropriate frictional force. That is, the protruding-side braking stopper member 110 abuts on the brake member 107 during rotation driving of the first transmission member 103 by the rotary solenoid 102 to restrict the movement of the brake member 107, so that the first transmission member 103 is braked. Rotational resistance is generated by frictional force with the member 107.

力による回転抵抗を生じさせるのである。The retreat-side braking stopper member 111 is fixed to the base member 101, and as shown in the order of FIGS. 6 and 7, the rotary solenoid is moved in a direction to retreat the reject projecting member 42 with respect to the coin passage 15. When the first transmission member 103 fixed to the drive shaft 117 of the rotary solenoid 102 comes into contact with the evacuation side stopper member 114 when the first solenoid 102 is driven, the first transmission member 103 comes into contact with the contact portion 125 of the brake member 107. The brake member 10
7 for further rotation. Then, the brake member 107 pressed by the compression spring 127 against the first transmission member 103, which continues to rotate until it comes into contact with the retreat-side regulating stopper member 114, then generates rotational resistance with an appropriate frictional force. That is, the stopper member 111 for evacuation-side braking is the first member by the rotary solenoid 102.
By restricting the movement of the brake member 107 by contacting the brake member 107 during the rotational driving of the transmission member 103,
This causes the first transmission member 103 to generate rotational resistance due to frictional force between the first transmission member 103 and the brake member 107.

ており、バウンドすることがない。As described above in detail, according to the rotary solenoid drive transmission mechanism of the present invention, when the rotary member drives the transmission member to rotate, the brake member pressed against the transmission member rotates integrally. However, during rotation driving, the brake member abuts against the braking stopper member, and its movement is regulated. Then, a rotational resistance is generated by the frictional force between the transmitting member, which is rotationally driven thereafter, and the brake member, which is stopped, so that a brake is applied. Therefore, when the transmission member finally comes into contact with the restricting stopper member and its rotation is regulated, the momentum of the rotation is weakened, and there is no bouncing.
