    摘要: A holding unit that reciprocally holds a feeding roller and is separated from a base body, and locking position changing means (a first tooth row, a second tooth row, a shaft support portion, a cylindrical shaft, and the like) for changing a locking position of a holding unit with respect to the base body along a track in a direction in which a distance between the feeding roller and the guide roller is changed are provided. In the configuration, a position and an orientation of a guide roller are caused to be constant regardless of a size of a coin, and thus the coin is appropriately guided toward a feeding passage by the guide roller regardless of the size of the coin.

    摘要: A deposit and withdrawal apparatus that includes a deposit port through which a coin is deposited, a withdrawal port through which the coin is withdrawn, and a first unit that is capable of storing the coin includes a second unit, a judgement unit, and a distribution unit. The second unit is different from the first unit and is capable of storing the coin. The judgement unit judges the coin deposited from the deposit port. The distribution unit distributes the deposited coin to the first unit or the second unit on the basis of a judgement result obtained by the judgement unit. The distribution unit is able to distribute the coin deposited into the first unit or the second unit.

    摘要: A coin processing device includes: a feed belt that normally rotates in contact with the upper side of a coin to convey the coin to a conveyance passage extending from an inlet-side passage portion to an outlet-side passage portion; a conveyance motor that normally rotates the feed belt during the normal rotation; a detection unit that detects the coin passing through a position determined in advance in the conveyance passage; and a control unit that switches the conveyance motor from a first rotation state where the conveyance motor normally rotates at a first rotation speed to a second rotation state where the conveyance motor normally rotates at a second rotation speed slower than the first rotation speed, in response to detection of the coin by the detection unit, and then rotates the conveyance motor.

    摘要: A coin input to a deposit opening is determined a denomination by a coin identifying device, and is allocated and held in a denomination storing and dispensing device in a course of being transported to a coin transporting and distributing device. The coin of a specified denomination is sent from the denomination storing and dispensing device based on a pay-out command, and paid out to a pay-out opening by a pay out transporting device. When the holding amount of the denomination storing and dispensing device becomes full, the coin is not allocated to the denomination storing and dispensing device by the coin transporting and distributing device, but is dropped to an overflow coin slot, guided to an overflow coin guiding tube juxtaposed to the denomination storing and dispensing device and held in an overflow coin storing unit arranged on the lower side of the denomination storing and dispensing device.

    摘要: An apparatus for discrimination and conveyance of coins achieves downsizing of this apparatus itself with a simple and low-cost structure compared with conventional ones. The apparatus includes a coin separation unit, a coin discrimination unit, and a coin conveyance and distribution unit. Coins separated in the coin separation unit are moved in a first direction through a first delivering region and delivered to the coin discrimination unit. The coins whose denomination and authenticity are discriminated in the coin discrimination unit are moved in a second direction approximately perpendicular to the first direction in a plan view through a second delivering region and delivered to the coin conveyance and distribution unit. In the second delivering region, a conveying direction of the coins is changed from the first direction to the second direction. The coins are distributed while being conveyed in the second direction in the coin conveyance and distribution unit.

    摘要: Currency processing systems, coin processing machines, coin imaging sensor assemblies and methods of making and methods of using the same are presented herein. A currency processing system is disclosed which includes a housing with a coin input area for receiving coins and coin receptacles for stowing processed coins. A disk-type coin processing unit, which is coupled to the coin input area and coin receptacles, includes a rotatable disk for imparting motion to coins, and a sorting head for separating and discharging coins to the coin receptacles. A sensor assembly is mounted to, adjacent or within the sorting head adjacent the rotatable disk. The sensor assembly includes a sensor circuit board with photodetector elements and light emitting devices. An illumination control device is communicatively coupled to and operable for controlling the light emitting device(s). A photodetector control device is communicatively coupled to and operable for controlling the sensor circuit board.

    摘要: An apparatus for receiving and sorting disks includes a wheel having at least one well for receiving a disk, a motor coupled to the wheel, a collecting device positioned relative to the wheel, a disk sensor, an ejector, and a controller. The collecting device has at least a first collector and a second collector configured for receiving disks. The disk sensor is configured to detect a value of a parameter of a disk received in the well and generate a parameter value signal. The ejector is coupled to the wheel proximate the well and configured to eject a disk from the well in a plane parallel to a bottom surface of the wheel in response to an eject signal. The controller is operably coupled with the disk sensor and the ejector.
