  • Patent number: 11004294
    Abstract: The coin batch loading device of the present invention is a coin batch loading device capable of separating out coins one by one which were input as a batch and delivering them, including a cylindrical portion having an opening at the top and a side wall and a bottom wall, a rotor which is disposed inside the cylindrical portion and rotates about the center of the cylindrical portion, outer periphery sensors provided inside the cylindrical portion which detect one or more coins on an outer perimeter portion of the rotor, and a control device for controlling the rotation of the rotor, wherein if one or more outer periphery sensors detect one or more coins, the control device is able to set the rotational speed of the rotor to a medium speed which is lower than a high speed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9916709
    Abstract: To provide a coin batch insertion device which is capable of feeding a coin at high speed. In addition, to provide a coin batch insertion device which is capable of implementing space saving. A coin batch insertion device 1 that separates and feeds a plurality of inserted coins C, inserted as a batch, one by one, includes: a cylindrical portion 4; a rotor 5 arranged inside the cylindrical portion 4; and a floor portion 7 including a coin dropping hole 7a, in which the inserted coins C, maintained in an erect state, are fed by conveying the coins between an inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical portion 4 and an outer peripheral wall of the rotor 5 along the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical portion 4 using rotation of the rotor 5 and dropping the coins into the coin dropping hole 7a one by one.
