EXAMPLE

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a side view showing the internal configuration of the dia-selector according to the present invention.

In the present invention, after detecting the passage of the coin (C) through the input sensor 21 on the primary selector 11, the main control unit 5 for checking the amount of money through the electronic inspection unit 12 is the dia-selector 13 Through the pulley and the belt 23 to move the coin (C) is put through and applied to the ticket issuer to sort by the amount, the conventional main portion 5, the sorting plate 31, the guide plate 32 and the like In addition to improving, a stopper 33 and a solenoid 34 are further provided.

The input sensor 21 (FIG. 2) is used as a means for recognizing that a coin has been input by outputting a signal according to the passage of the coin C to the main controller 5 as a photosensor. The pulley and the belt 23 are driven by a motor 24 which receives a control signal output from the main controller 5.

At this time, the sorting plate 31 of the present invention is mounted while maintaining a constant gap with the pulley and the belt 23, four kinds of sorting holes (31a) according to the size of the coin (C) is formed. The guide plate 32 is fixed to form a space of a predetermined gap to the rear of the sorting plate 31.

The space formed by the sorting plate 31 and the guide plate 32 extends the coin C passing through the sorting opening 31a of the sorting plate 31 to the temporary holding unit 14 (FIG. 2) below. It acts as a passageway.

In addition, the stopper 33 of the present invention is mounted on the space formed by the sorting plate 31 and the guide plate 32, and the locking step 33a entering and exiting through the sorting opening 31a of the sorting plate 31. Has

Conventionally, since no mechanism is installed on the space (hereinafter referred to as a 'path'), the coin C transferred by the pulley and the belt 23 is caught in the corresponding sorting opening 31a of the sorting plate 31. While the movement was stopped and flowed into the passage, in the present invention, the locking jaw 33a of the stopper 33 linearly reciprocating on the sorting opening 31a.

Moreover, the solenoid 34 of this invention is mounted toward the sorting opening 31a of the sorting board 31 from the back of the said guide plate 32, and makes the said stopper 33 move forward and backward.

The solenoid 34 uses a small stroke (eg, 10 mm or less) so that the engaging jaw 33a of the stopper 33 protrudes only about 1 to 2 mm from the surface of the sorting plate 31. If the protruding height of the catching jaw 33a is too large, wear or damage of the pulley and the belt 23 becomes severe, which is undesirable.

In addition, the present invention is connected to the input sensor 21 and the electronic inspection unit 12 of the primary selector 11, and is connected to the respective solenoids 34, the input sensor 21 of the primary selector 11 After receiving the signal from the coin and recognize the coin input, check the amount received the signal from the electronic inspection unit 12, then turn on the solenoid 34 corresponding to the confirmed amount to collect the coin (C) immediately The main control unit 5 outputs a control signal for turning off the collected coins C on the space formed by the sorting plate 31 and the guide plate 32.

As described in FIG. 1, the main controller 5 has a bill processing unit 2, a coin processing unit 3, and a card processing unit 4 according to the amount of money entered by the subway user and input from the operation / display unit 6. It has a function of issuing the change by paying the fee at) and issuing a ticket or prepaid card with a predetermined record in the ticket issuing unit 1.

Since the selection holes 31a of the guide plate 32 are sequentially disposed through 50, 10, 100, and 500 won holes, the respective solenoids 34 operate at different time intervals. It is also possible to operate uniformly based on the time to reach the first 50 won sorting opening 31a without such a time difference, but when collecting the coin C in the last sorting opening 31a, the corresponding stopper 33 The time when the locking jaw 33a is in contact with the pulley and the belt 23 becomes long, and wear or damage of the pulley and the belt 23 becomes severe.

4 is a front view showing the sorting plate of FIG. 3 with partial enlargement.

The stopping jaw 33a of the stopper 33 according to the present invention has a predetermined angle smaller than 90 ° in a quadrant formed by the horizontal moving direction M1 and the vertical falling direction M2 of the coin C. To form.

The latching jaw 33a has the same curvature as the outer circumferential surface diameter of the coin C, and is formed at the position as shown to facilitate the collection of the coin C sent in the horizontal moving direction M1.

As the forming angle θ of the latching jaw 33a increases, wear and damage of the poly and the belt 23 become more severe, so that the minimum angle θ that does not affect the collecting function of the coin C within 90 ° is set. It is preferable.

By such a configuration, the main controller 5 turns on the solenoid 34 for a predetermined time (for example, 1 second), and the coin C caught on the stopping jaw 33a of the stopper 33 stops 33. Immediately falls back into the passage and rapidly falls in the vertical falling direction M2 by impact or vibration to reach the temporary holding part 14 (FIG. 2).

As described above, the coin jam prevention device of the ticket issuer of the present invention actively collects coins in the coin processing unit of the ticket issuer that checks and counts the state of the coins put therein, thereby determining the amount of the coins put therein, so that the coins moved are mutually selected during selection. There is an effect of improving the reliability of operation by preventing overlapping and jamming.
