Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rotary solenoid drive transmission mechanism which can be kept high in accurate operating performance by preventing a transmission member from bounding when its rotation is controlled by a control stopper member. SOLUTION: A rotary solenoid drive transmission mechanism is equipped with a rotary solenoid 102, a transmission member 103 driven and rotated by the rotary solenoid 102, a brake member 107 pressed against the transmission member 103, and control stopper members 110 and 111 which control the movement of the brake member 107. The control stopper members 110 and 111 are made to bear against the brake member 107 to control its movement when the transmission member 103 is driven and rotated by the rotary solenoid 102, by which rotation resistance is induced in the transmission member 103 by its frictional force with the brake member 107.

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.

On the further downstream side, there is provided a sorting unit 45 that excludes coins determined as true coins and coins of a different denomination other than the designated denomination based on the detection results of the material detection sensor 31 and the image detection unit 32. . The sorting unit 45 has the same structure as the rejecting unit 40, and includes a sorting hole 46 formed in the passage surface 18 of the second linear portion 22, and an upstream end of the sorting hole 46 in the coin transport direction. And a selection protruding member 47 that is provided on the side of the guide 17 at the position and that can protrude into the second linear portion 22 and retreat from the second linear portion 22 by rotating about an axis perpendicular to the passage surface 18. are doing.

The conveyor belt and the coin passage are set so that the coins are moved while being selected, and the width of the sorting hole 46 is set smaller than the diameter of the smallest coin to be handled. When the selection protruding member 47 is retracted from the inside of the second linear portion 22, the coin moving while always in contact with the guide 17 is prevented from dropping into the selection hole 46 and passes through the selection hole 46. Further, the second linear portion 22 moves downstream. On the other hand, when the selection projecting member 47 is protruded into the second linear portion 22, the coin moving while contacting the guide 17 comes into contact with the selection projection member 47, is pushed by the coin, and leaves the guide 17. As a result, the transport path is shifted, and as a result, the transport path falls into the sorting hole 46.

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.

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.
