する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is based on a method for solving a coin feeding abnormality in a coin processing machine.
The coins are moved to the periphery of the rotating disk by the centrifugal force of the rotating disk, and sent out as a single sheet by passing through the lower part of the coin thickness regulating member provided facing the upper part of the periphery. While the coins are conveyed on a coin passage extending outward from the periphery of the rotating disk, small-diameter coins are sorted by passing over a sorting slot with a groove or hole structure provided in the middle of the coin passage. Coin processing halls, such as coin sorting and counting, eject coins into the slots and release the coins that have passed over the sorting slots from the end of the coin passage. machine,
This invention relates to a method for resolving a coin dispensing abnormality, which is applied to a coin wrapping machine and the like, and which eliminates the coin jam when a coin jam occurs in a dispensing path from a rotating disk to a coin passage entrance.

応する幅に調整される。In the above coin processing method, when the denomination of the coin to be processed is set by operating the denomination knob, denomination button, etc., the coin passage width and sorting slot width are adjusted to the set denomination coin diameter accordingly. Adjusted to the corresponding width.

硬貨が硬貨通路入口部でつがえることあるいは仙の条件
に起因して、後続硬貨が回転円盤の周縁と硬貨厚み規制
部材との間で硬貨詰りを起すことがある。+1 If there are coins of a smaller diameter mixed in with the coins of the denomination to be processed, the smaller diameter coins will be removed into the sorting slot while being conveyed through the coin passage, so no special problem will occur. If the coins to be processed contain coins with a larger diameter than this, a problem arises. That is, large-diameter coins get stuck at the entrance of the coin passage and cannot enter, and the coin passage becomes clogged at the entrance, which also prevents subsequent coins from entering the passage. Further, due to the large-diameter coins getting stuck at the entrance of the coin passage or due to the unbalanced conditions, subsequent coins may cause coin jams between the circumferential edge of the rotating disk and the coin thickness regulating member.

させている。In this way, if a coin feeding abnormality occurs due to a large-diameter coin clogging at the entrance of the coin passage, or a coin clogging between the periphery of the rotating disk and the coin thickness regulating member, the operator must stop the machine and remove the coin from the coin passage. Find the area where the coins are jammed at the entrance and around the rotating disk. Locate the jammed coins while manually scraping subsequent coins toward the center of the rotating disk. If the coin is large, remove it from the machine and remove it from the machine to be processed. In the case of a coin jam due to two coins overlapping, etc., the jammed coin is manually removed from the jammed area, and then the machine is restarted together with subsequent coins.

率を向上させるうえでのネックとなっていた。In addition, if the Ia machine continues to operate while a coin feeding abnormality occurs, the IQ will remove jammed coins and other components such as the coin passage entrance, rotating disk, and coin thickness regulating member.
I'll hurt you. Therefore, the operator must constantly monitor the machine in order to promptly remove jammed coins when a coin feeding abnormality occurs. In addition, if a coin feeding error occurs, it is necessary to stop the machine and manually remove the jammed coins before starting the machine, which has been a bottleneck in improving coin processing efficiency.

さけることもないなど、種々の硬貨を有する。As explained above, according to the present invention, when a coin/feeding abnormality occurs, this is detected as the first abnormality detection step, and based on the detection result, the rotating disk is reversed (the conveyor belt is stopped). A coin jam clearing step is provided in which the jam is cleared by returning the coin on the rotating disk, and if the jam is not cleared even after this, it is determined that a large diameter coin is jammed and the process moves to the large diameter coin removing step, and the large diameter coin is removed. Since the coins are removed from the coin passage, when coins become jammed, the jam can be cleared without human intervention, and the coin handling capacity can be greatly improved. In addition, if a coin feeding error occurs due to a blockage at the entrance of the coin passage for large-diameter coins,
Since only the large-diameter coin is removed, an unnecessarily large number of succeeding coins are not removed together, and the jammed coin is removed before excessive force is applied to the jammed coin and the mechanical parts at the area where the coin is jammed. Since the elimination of these coins is done, there is no need to avoid damaging them, as they have a variety of coins.
