The second detection sensor unit 240 includes a detection dog 241 extending from an end of the rotation link 224 on which the hinge shaft 225 is mounted and a support frame 12 A support bracket 242 is provided on the support bracket 242 to detect the entrance and exit of the detection dog 241 into the entry space and is guided by the slider 210 And a second detection sensor 243 for counting coins to be discharged. The second detection sensor 243 may be a light emitting sensor or a proximity sensor as described above.
상술한 바와 같이 구성된 본 발명에 따른 동전계수장치의 작용을 설명하면 다음과 같다. The operation of the coin counting apparatus according to the present invention constructed as described above will be described below.
먼저, 동전계수장치(10)을 이용하여 동전(300)들을 계수하기 위해서는 도 6 내지 도 8에 도시된 바와 같이 동전공급유닛(40)의 회전원판구동모터(42)을 구동시켜 회전원판(41)이 회전되도록 하고, 상기 구동모터(63)을 구동시켜 링기어(61)가 회전되도록 한다. 이 상태에서 가치에 따라 크기가 다른 동전들 즉, 계수하고자 하는 동전(300)들을 무작위로 상기 투입호퍼부재(42)에 투입한다. 6 to 8, in order to count coins 300 by using the coin counting apparatus 10, the rotating disk driving motor 42 of the coin supplying unit 40 is driven to rotate the rotating disk 41 And drives the drive motor 63 to rotate the ring gear 61. In this state, coins 300 having different sizes depending on the value, that is, the coins 300 to be counted, are randomly inputted into the input hopper member 42.
이와 같이 하면, 투입된 동전(300)들을 회전원판(41)의 상면에 위치하게 되고, 이 동전(300)의 회전원판(41)의 회전으로 인한 원심력에 의해 반경방향으로 이동되고, 상기 가이드부재(31)의 가이드배출부(32)에 안내되어 상기 동전분리판(20)과 가이드부재(31) 및 가이드링(29)에 의해 구획된 동전이송로(15)로 유입된다. The inserted coins 300 are located on the upper surface of the rotary disk 41 and are moved in the radial direction by the centrifugal force due to the rotation of the rotary disk 41 of the coin 300, And is introduced into the coin transfer passage 15 partitioned by the coin separation plate 20 and the guide member 31 and the guide ring 29. [
상기 동전이송로(15)로 유입된 동전(300)은 동전이송유닛(60)의 회전하는 링기어(61)의 하면에 설치되는 탄성가압부재(65)의 가압편(65b)에 의해 동전(300)이 동전분리판(20)에 가압된 상태로 이동된다. The coin 300 flowing into the coin transfer path 15 is transferred to the coin transferring unit 15 by the pushing piece 65b of the elastic pressing member 65 provided on the lower surface of the rotating ring gear 61 of the coin transferring unit 60 300 are moved in a state in which they are pressed against the coin separator 20.
이러한 과정에서 이동되는 동전(300)은 동전(300)의 사이즈와 동일한 크기의 동전선별홀(21)의 상면으로의 이동 시 가압편(65b)에 의한 가압력과 자중에 의해 낙하하게 되고, 가이드 플레이트(25)의 가이드립(27)에 의해 안내되어 동전회수통(201)에 공급된다. In this process, the moving coin 300 falls due to the pressing force and the weight of the pressing piece 65b when the coin 300 is moved to the upper surface of the coin sorting hole 21 having the same size as the size of the coin 300, Is guided by the guide lip 27 of the coin collecting container 25 and supplied to the coin collecting container 201. [
상술한 바와 같이 방법을 상기 투입호퍼부재(43)에 투입된 동전(300)들은 종류별로 각각의 동전회수통(201)에 공급 및 적재된다. 이때에 상기 동전회수통(201)에 투입되는 동전(300)은 제 1검출센서에 의해 검출되어 제어부에 의해 계수한 후 디스플레이어에 표시된다. As described above, the coins 300 inserted into the input hopper member 43 are supplied to and stacked in the respective coin collecting bins 201 for each type. At this time, the coin 300 injected into the coin collecting bin 201 is detected by the first detecting sensor, counted by the control unit, and displayed on the display unit.
상술한 동전회수통(201)에 공급되는 동전의 적재로 동전회수통(201)에 동전이 채워지면, 이후에 공급되는 동전은 상기 동전회수통(201)에 형성된 동전배출부(201a)을 통하여 배출되고, 이 배출된 동전은 상기 동전배출가이드(13)에 의해 가이드되어 외통(미도시)으로 떨어진다. When coins are filled in the coin collecting container 201 by the loading of the coin supplied to the coin collecting container 201 described above, the coin supplied after that is fed through the coin discharger 201a formed in the coin collecting container 201 And the discharged coins are guided by the coin discharge guide 13 and fall to the outer cylinder (not shown).
그리고 동전의 계수가 완료된 후 거스름돈을 배출하기 위해서는 도 8에 도시된 바와 같이 제어부에 의해 배출하고자 하는 동전회수통(201)의 하부에 설치된 모터(227)을 구동시킨다. 이와 같이 하면, 상기 모터(227)의 구동축에 설치된 편심캠(229)의 회동핀(228)이 회전링크(224)의 장공(224a)의 이동하면서 상기 회동링크(224)를 회동시켜 상기 슬라이더(210)를 후퇴시킨다. 따라서 적층된 동전(300)은 하강하면서 슬라이더(210)의 전면에 형성된 동전지지홈(210a)에 삽입된다. 그리고 상기 편심캠(229)이 더욱 회전하게 되면, 상기 회전링크(224)가 회전되어 상기 슬라이더(210)를 전진시켜 상기 슬라이더(210)의 동전지지홈(210a)에 지지된 동전을 슈트(400)으로 밀어내게 된다. 이때에서 상기 제2검출센서부(240)와 제어부에 의해 하나의 동전배출이 계수된다. 동전의 계수는 상기 회전링크(224)에 설치된 검출도그(241)이 상기 지지브라켓(242)에 형성된 공간부에 인입 및 인출됨으로서 이에 설치된 제2검출센서에 의해 카운팅된다. After the counting of the coins is completed, the control unit drives the motor 227 provided at the lower part of the coin collecting box 201 to discharge the change money as shown in FIG. The rotating pin 228 of the eccentric cam 229 provided on the driving shaft of the motor 227 rotates the rotating link 224 while moving the elongated hole 224a of the rotating link 224, 210). The stacked coin 300 is inserted into the coin support groove 210a formed on the front surface of the slider 210 while descending. When the eccentric cam 229 further rotates, the rotation link 224 is rotated to advance the slider 210 so that a coin held in the coin support groove 210a of the slider 210 is guided to the chute 400 ). At this time, one coin discharge is counted by the second detection sensor unit 240 and the control unit. The count of the coin is counted by the second detection sensor installed in the space formed in the support bracket 242 by the detection dog 241 installed on the rotary link 224.
상술한 바와 같은 작용을 선택된 동전회수통의 하부에 설치된 모터가 구동되어 동전을 배출하게 됨으로써 거스름돈을 배출할 수 있다.The motor provided at the lower part of the selected coin collecting bin is operated to discharge the coins so that the change money can be discharged.
이상에서 설명한 바와 같이 본원 발명의 동전계수장치는 무작위로 투입된 동전을 분리하여 계수할 수 있으며, 거스름돈을 배출시킬 수 있으므로 상품적 가치를 높일 수 있다. 특히, 동전의 분리가 동전분리판에 형성된 동전분리홀에 가입된 동전이 이동하면서 이루어지게 되므로 동전분리에 따른 신뢰성을 높일 수 있다. As described above, the coin counting apparatus of the present invention can separate and count coins inserted at random, and it is possible to discharge change money, thereby enhancing the merchandise value. Particularly, since the coins which are joined to the coin separation holes formed in the coin separation plate are moved, separation of coins can be performed, thereby enhancing the reliability of coin separation.
본 발명은 도면에 도시된 실시예를 참고로 설명되었으나 이는 예시적인 것에 불과하며, 본 기술 분야의 통상의 지식을 가진 사람이라면 이로부터 다양한 변형 및 균등한 타 실시예가 가능하다는 점을 이해할 것이다. 따라서 본 발명의 진정한 기술적 보호 범위는 첨부된 등록 청구 범위의 기술적 사상에 의해 정해져야 할 것이다.While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the true scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical idea of the appended claims.
