Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the loading operations of the coin bar and also to prevent the misoperations due to the input mistakes of data by providing a coin bar detector means which detects the coin bar charged into a coin bar discharging machine and outputs the detection signals and an arithmetic means which outputs these detection signals as the number of pieces of the charged coin bar. CONSTITUTION:When a cassette 10 containing the coin bar is charged into a coin bar discharging machine 1, a contact terminal 23 presses the upper part of the coin bar M1 and also vibrates. When the terminal 23 reaches the top point of the projecting part of the coin bar M1, a counter piece 24 interlocking a counter lever 21 cuts the optical path of a photocoupler 25 and then opens this path when the terminal 23 passes through the top point. A single cutting/ opening cycle of the optical path is converted into an electric signal. Then this electric signal is sent to an arithmetic means 30 and stored there as a detection signal of each piece of coin bar. The signal that is outputted from the means 30 when the top point of the final coin bar Mn passes through a coin bar detector 20 shows the total number of coin bar stored in the cassette 10.

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventionally known coin dispenser, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-157991, coins are arranged in parallel in a cassette according to the type of coin, and the cassette is coined. It is known that the mechanism has a mechanism of inserting the coins one by one from the cassette based on a payout command by inserting the coins in the machine body in the radial direction of the row. In such a coin-roll dispenser, the machine is required to automatically keep track of the remaining amount by coin type of coin-roll filled in the machine body and display it. For that purpose, the original number of coin bars filled in the machine body must be previously input as data. In the conventional coin-roll dispenser, the operator counts the number of such coin-rolls to be filled according to the type of coin, and inputs the data manually by operating the operation unit of the machine.

It is a means for outputting the total number of coins stored in the cassette as an electric signal to the control unit incorporated in the coin dispenser. As such an arithmetic means, a known adder such as a semiconductor circuit can be used. The signal output from the computing means as the number of coin-rolls filled is normally sent to the control unit incorporated in the coin-roll dispenser. The control unit has a function of storing this signal in the memory, stores it, and preferably displays it as the number of fillings by denomination, and also subtracts the number of dispensings from the number of fillings based on the signal from the dispensing function. Then, an operation such as displaying the resulting value as the remaining amount is performed. The arithmetic means may be integrated in the control unit.

The cassette 10 comprises a rectangular bottom plate and an edge portion surrounding the rectangular bottom plate, in which a plurality of coin bars M can be accommodated in parallel, and one end of the accommodated coin bar row in the radial direction is moved forward. As a part, it can be inserted into the cassette loading port 2. At the front edge of this cassette, although not shown,
The coin-roll delivery mechanism is provided with a notch for inserting a fork member for taking out the coin-roll one by one. The coin-roll detecting means 20 of this embodiment is an unevenness detecting device which is generally composed of a lever type counting lever 21 and a counting device 25. The counting lever 21 has a rod-like shape and is swingably mounted on a mounting member (not shown) of the main body 1 about a swing shaft 22 provided at an intermediate point of the counting lever 21. One end (contact end 23) of the counting lever 21 protrudes obliquely downward in the moving direction of the cassette inside the coin metal filling portion 3, and the upper portion of the coin metal M accommodated in the cassette 10 passing therethrough. It is biased by a spring (not shown) to contact the peripheral surface and press it downwards. A counting piece 24 is attached to the other end of the counting lever 21. The counting piece 24 is a member formed so that when the contact end 23 is pushed up and the counting lever 21 oscillates, the oscillation is transmitted to a counting device 25 described below as a coin-roll detection signal. The counting device 25 in this embodiment is a photocoupler. In this case, the counting piece 24 is a shutter piece that blocks / opens the light beam emitted from the photocoupler 25 in response to the swing of the counting lever 21.

Next, the operation of this coin dispenser will be described. A plurality of coins M are stored in parallel in the cassette 10 in advance, and the cassette 10 is inserted into the coin filling unit 3 from the cassette loading port 2. Cassette 10 is inserted,
When the leading one M 1 of the coin bar housed therein contacts the contact end 23 of the counting lever, the contact end 23 rubs against the upper peripheral surface of the coin bar M 1 while being pressed. When the contact end 23 reaches the vicinity of the apex of the convex portion on the peripheral surface, the counting piece 24 interlocked with the counting lever 21 blocks the optical path of the photocoupler 25, and when the contact end 23 passes the apex, the optical path is opened again. One cycle of the blocking / opening of the optical path is converted into an electric signal, which is sent to and stored in the calculating means 30 as a detection signal for each coin. In this way, as the cassette 10 is inserted into the coin bar filling portion 3 to the stop point, the top peripheral surface apex of each coin bar M is sequentially detected, and the total value is output from the calculation means 30. When the apex of the peripheral surface of the coin bar Mn that finally passes has finished passing the coin bar detecting device 20, the signal output from the calculation means 30 indicates the total number of coin bars in the cassette.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. A plurality of coins M are housed one by one between the partitioning members 41 of the cassette 10 which are juxtaposed in parallel, and the cassettes 10 are inserted into the coin-filling section 3 from the cassette loading port 2. At this time, since the coin-roll filling unit 3 is tilted forward, each coin-roll M rolls forward on the coin-roll cradle 11 and comes into contact with each partition member 41 to stop. Therefore, there is a gap between each of the metal bars arranged in parallel. When the cassette 10 is inserted into the coin-roll filling section 3 in this state, the leading one M 1 of the coin-roll housed therein blocks the light beam 26. When the insertion further proceeds, the light beam passes through the detection hole 12 until it exceeds the bar M 1 and is blocked by the next bar M 2 , and reaches the light receiver of the photocoupler 25. In this way, a pair of ON / OFF electric signals is generated for one coin bar passing through the place, and this signal is transmitted to the same calculation means (not shown) as in the first embodiment. In this way cassette 1
When 0 is inserted deeply into the coin-roll filling section 3, signals from the coin-rolls are sequentially generated, and when a signal from the coin-roll Mn passing through is finally emitted, the total number of coin-rolls in the cassette is calculated. Sent to the controller. Therefore, in this embodiment, the partition mechanism 40 and the cassette 10 in which the detection hole 12 is formed,
The optical detection device, that is, the photocoupler 25 constitutes the coin-roll detection means.

When the rear end portion of the detection hole 12 of the cassette reaches the position of the light beam 26, the partition release lever 43 causes the step portion 4 to move.
Contact with. This has the same effect as pulling the partition release lever rearward with respect to the cassette 10 which is continuously inserted forward. Therefore, the transmission member 42 that is interlocked with this is pulled backward against the bias of the spring, and the tip end portion of each partition member 41 is retracted into the bottom chamber 14. Here, since each metal bar M loses its partition, it rolls forward and contacts the front of the cassette 10 in parallel with each other. As a result, the fork member of the coin bar feeding mechanism can take out the coin bar one by one.
