Coin processor can also be configured to not include actively selection portion.In this case, it is possible to same as above, will The quantity in passive selection portion is set to six or seven, or can also be because of decreasing two actively selection portions, so inciting somebody to action passively The quantity in selection portion increases by two, thus Coin processor is configured to include first～the 8th these eight passive selection portion.

And, active selection portion and the sum in passive selection portion included by Coin processor can be set to suitable number Amount.

The structure of disk (coin move)

Described Coin processor 1 includes two, and actively selection portion 41,42 and identification are actively connect in selection portion 41,42 The identification part 7 of the coin received.Thus, as it is shown in figure 5, the coin in process portion 3 moves disk 81 has recess 813, in order to avoid The deflection parts 413,423 in identification part 7 and actively selection portion 41,42 disturb.

The Coin processor different from described Coin processor 1 as specification is it is also contemplated that following composition, it may be assumed that as Upper described, omit actively selection portion 41,42 and identification part 7, and only include the difference in diameter according to coin 10 and pick passively Select the passive selection portion of coin 10.In the Coin processor constituted in the manner described above, because not being identified, so energy Enough make the coin transporting velocity in process portion 3 faster than the Coin processor 1 being identified.If improving the conveying speed of coin Degree, then in order to stably carry coin, it is necessary to expand and move on disk 81, to press against coin fin 812 at coin Width.Additionally, in the Coin processor not being identified, because the identification part 7 in process portion 3 and deflection parts 413, 423 are all omitted, so also without the recess having coin to move disk.

Therefore, in the Coin processor not being identified, coin as shown in fig. 13 that can be used to move disk 84. The inner side of multiple first fins 812 that move disk 84 at this coin, that be arranged on its edge, periphery, multiple second fins 846 are configured to circumferentially shape.As shown in figure 14, the width of width ratio first fin 812 of the second fin 846 is big.Need Bright, the width of the first fin 812 and the second fin 846 can suitably set.Utilize two kinds of fins 812,846, press against The width expansion of the fin of coin 10 such that it is able to conveying coin 10 at a high speed.

Coin shown in fig. 13 moves disk 84 and installs by will be formed with the endless member 845 of the second fin 846 Moving at coin and constitute on disk 81, described endless member 845 moves the recess of disk 81 to block the coin shown in Fig. 5 The mode of 813 installs.It is to say, the coin shown in Figure 5 moves on the recess 813 of disk 81, circumferentially And keep equally spaced being formed with multiple boss portion 814.As shown in the sectional view in Figure 14, endless member 845 is by being arranged on Leg 847 on its back side screws with screw and is fixed on coin and moves on disk 81 in boss portion 814.As it has been described above, Coin shown in preparing in Figure 5 moves disk 81 and is formed with the endless member 845 of the second fin 846, it becomes possible to produce Following coin moves disk 81,84, and described coin moves the disk 81,84 presence or absence according to endless member 845, corresponds respectively to structure Become the Coin processor 1 being identified and be configured to the Coin processor not being identified.By making part zero Part is for the multiple Coin processor generalization of different size, it is achieved manufacturing cost reduces.

Additionally, it is a kind of to produce abrasion, damage on fin 812,846 repeatedly carrying during coin that coin moves disk Expendable parts.Thus, if changing whole coin to move disk, the operation cost of Coin processor just rises, but just exists For coin shown in Figure 13 moves disk 84, when producing abrasion, damage on fin 846, can only change annulus Part 845, therefore, it is possible to reduce the operation cost of Coin processor.

It should be noted that the coin shown in figs. 13 and 14 moves disk 84, by being installed by endless member 845 Coin shown in Figure 5 moves and constitutes on disk 81.In contrast, the coin shown in Figure 15 and Figure 16 moves disk 85, after disassembling at the fin 812 that the coin shown in Fig. 5 is moved disk 81, endless member 853 is utilized leg 854 are arranged on and constitute in boss portion 814.This endless member 853 is different from the endless member 845 shown in Figure 13 etc., It is provided with on this endless member 853 being positioned at the fin 851 that coin moves on the most peripheral of disk 85 and the fin being positioned at inner side 852 liang of fins.As shown in figure 16, the fin 852 that the width ratio of the fin 851 being positioned on most peripheral is positioned at inner side is big.Each fin 851, the width of 852 can suitably set.Under this structure, because the parts thereof also being able to make coin move disk leads to With change, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the multiple Coin processor of different size.Additionally, be also beneficial to operation cost Lower.
