The upstream belt 12 at the connection between the upstream divided conveyance path 20A and the downstream divided conveyance path 20A, that is, at the joint between the divided conveyance path 20A and the downstream divided conveyance path 20A. In order to facilitate the transport of coins 10 in the gap between the belt 10 and the downstream belt 12, each of the divided transport paths 20A is arranged so as to be inclined uphill with respect to the transport direction. At the position of each joint of the divided transport path 20A, the width is approximately the same as the width of each divided transport path 20A with a slope of a downward slope, for example, about 30 ° to 60 ° with respect to the transport direction of each divided transport path 20A. And an auxiliary path 24 in the form of a slide.

The axes 11a and 11b of the transition mechanism 11 and the interlocking mechanism 23 are connected to the guide wall A of the guide body 13 and the guide wall 13 respectively.
B and bearing plates 11a1, 11a2, 11b1,
11b2.

In the [roller auxiliary path configuration] of FIG.
All the divided conveyance paths 20A are arranged in a line in the horizontal direction without any step formed on the belt 12 of each divided conveyance path 20A, and are disposed at the valleys of the belts 12 at the positions of the pulleys 11A and 11B. The auxiliary path 24 is provided by a roller 24A, and a belt 23C of an interlocking mechanism 23 is wound around a pulley 24A2 provided on a shaft 24A1 of the roller 24A, whereby the roller 24A is interlockedly rotated by the interlocking mechanism 23. . In addition, each shaft 11a-1
1b · 24A1 is a bearing plate 11a1 fixed to the guide walls 13A / 13B, similarly to the [tilted plate auxiliary path configuration] of FIG.
・ Supported by 11a2 ・ 11b1 ・ 11b2

The conveying operation in the auxiliary path 24 is performed by changing the position of the center of gravity Ws of the coin 10 conveyed by the belt 12 of the upstream divided conveying path 20A as shown in [auxiliary conveying configuration] in FIG. , Upstream divided transport path 20A
When the pulley 11A is at a position slightly before the axis 11ax of the shaft 11a of the pulley 11A, that is, at a position slightly to the left of the axis 11ax, the tip 10a on the bottom side of the coin 10 comes on the roller 24A. Thus, the diameter D11 of the coin 10
And the size of the related part, for example, the pulley 11A

For this reason, before the leading end of the coin 10 coming to the end of the belt 12 on the upstream side tilts downward, the roller 2
4A, the coin 10 is then fed onto the downstream belt 12 by the rotation of the roller 24A even if the leading end of the coin 10 is tilted downward, so that the coin 10 can be smoothly transported by the downstream side. Also, even if the leading end side of the coin 10 enters between the belt 12 and the roller 24A on the upstream side, the coin 10 is scraped upward by the roller 24A, so that the coin 10 can be similarly conveyed to the downstream side. It is like that.

The above dimensions are, for example, the distance D
12 is about 4/5 of the diameter D11 of the coin 10 and the gap D13
Is about 1/2 of the thickness t1 of the coin 10, the gap D22 between the roller 24A and each belt 12 is about 1/2 of the thickness t1 of the coin 10, and the coin when the bottom surface of the coin 10 is horizontal. The distance H21 between the bottom surface of the roller 10 and the upper surface of the roller 24A is set to about 1/3 of the thickness t1 of the coin 10, and the diameter D21 of the roller 24A that meets these dimensional conditions is selected.
The diameter D21 of the roller 24A is, for example, about 0.17 to 0.18 times the diameter D11 of the coin 10. That is, when the coin 10 is a 500-yen coin, the diameter D1
1 is about 26 mm and the thickness t1 is about 2 mm.
2 is about 21 mm, and the diameter D21 is about 4.5 mm.

Further, a coating of, for example, a polyurethane resin is applied to the outer periphery of the roller 24A to increase the frictional resistance between the coins 10, or as shown in FIG. By providing a protrusion such as a triangular protrusion 24y or a rectangular protrusion 24x along the axis of the coin, the conveyance of the coin 10 in the portion of the auxiliary path 24 can be improved.

In [Auxiliary small diameter pulley configuration] in FIG. 11, the pulley 11A and the pulley 11B are interlocked by, for example, an interlocking mechanism (not shown) by a belt transmission mechanism. Road configuration], auxiliary pulleys 24B1, 24B2 of small diameter supported by bearings (not shown) similar to the bearing plates 11a1, 11a2, 11b1, 11b2 are provided at positions protruding from the respective pulleys 11A, 11B. This auxiliary pulley 24

The belt 12 has four pulleys 11A, 11B, 24B2,
The transition is made along an inverted trapezoidal path along 24B1.

Then, at a connection portion where a valley is formed between the belt 12 hung on the auxiliary pulley 24B1 and the belt 12 hung on the auxiliary pulley 24B2, the upstream divided conveying path 20 is formed.
The position of the center of gravity Ws of the coin 10 conveyed by the belt 12 of A is slightly upstream of the axis 24a1 of the shaft of the auxiliary pulley 24B1 on the upstream side, that is, in FIG. When the coin 10 is at the slightly left position, the tip 10a on the bottom side of the coin 10 is

Distance D16 between the shaft center 24a1 and the shaft center 24b2 of the auxiliary pulley 24B2, the gap D15 between the upstream belt 12 and the downstream belt 12 and the auxiliary pulleys 24B1 and 24.
The dimensions such as B2 are defined.

These dimensions are set such that the gap D15 is, for example, about 1/2 of the thickness t1 of the coin 10 and the axis 24a1
The distance D16 between 24b2 is set to, for example, about 1/2 of the diameter D11 of the coin 10, and the dimensions of other parts are selected so as to correspond to it.

If necessary, the auxiliary pulley 24B1
By arranging, for example, an auxiliary body 24B3 having a triangular cross section in a recessed portion between the upstream belt 12 and the downstream belt 12 at the location 24B2,
The coin 10 can be stably transported at the interlocking mechanism 23.

Further, in order to ensure the turning of the coin 10 in the turning portion 60 where the coin 10 is inserted into the transporting path 20, as shown in FIG. The configuration (hereinafter referred to as a twelfth prior art) configured to be dropped onto the belt 12 from the bottom side of the box surrounding the surface 65 (hereinafter, referred to as a twelfth conventional technique) is described in Japanese Patent Application No. 10-1980.
9632.

In FIG. 13, for example, a steel wire 22a having a diameter of about 2 mm is wound into a coil shape in which the wires are in close contact with each other, and the cross section is elongated inside, as shown in FIG. A coin having a rectangular passage 22b formed therein, wherein the rectangular passage 22b has a thickness of about three times the thickness of the coin 10 having the largest short diameter D2, for example, about 6 mm, and a coin having the largest long diameter D1. It is formed to have a diameter of about 1.2 times the diameter of 10, for example, about 32 mm, and is guided to the turning portion 60 through the coin 10 in the passage 22b.

Therefore, when the surface of the major axis D2 is bent from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction as shown in [vertical attitude deriving configuration] in FIG. 13, even if the radius of curvature is reduced, the coin 10 has sufficient margin. When the surface of the minor axis D1 is bent from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction as shown in [horizontal posture derivation configuration] in FIG. 13, the coin 10 must be bent with a considerably large radius of curvature. It can not pass, but if you bend in consideration of that, you can bend from vertical to horizontal,
Even if the introduction path 22 is twisted, the coin 10 can be guided in a required direction.

The turning portion 60 is formed such that the bottom surface 62E is open, and the turning surface 65 and the other surface, that is, the front surface 6
The trapezoidal box-shaped body 62 covering the 2A, the back surface 62B, the side surface 62C, and the upper surface 62D is formed using, for example, an aluminum plate, and the coin 10 is inserted from the side surface 62C facing the turning surface 65. It is composed. In a portion where the angle between the turning surface 65 and the other surface becomes an acute angle, the tip portion of the acute angle has a width larger than the thickness of the largest coin 10, for example, 2 to 3 times the thickness of the coin 10. A double-width chamfered surface 62F is provided to prevent the coin 10 from being pinched.

In the [horizontal attitude deriving configuration] shown in FIG. 13, the introduction path 22 is formed by bending the short diameter D1 side.
A terminal portion 22A whose direction is changed in the horizontal direction from the vertical portion 22B is formed, and the coin 10 delivered from above is sent out from the terminal portion 22A in a posture in which the surface is in a horizontal state.
The delivered coin 10 is configured to be turned by hitting the turning surface 65 arranged opposite to the terminal portion 22A, and to fall on the transport surface 25 arranged below.

Therefore, the coin 1 guided by the introduction path 22
0 has a falling speed from the upper surface, but the turning surface 65
Is dropped on the transport surface 25 after being decelerated, and when falling onto the transport surface 25, the excess force is lost. Operate on the transport surface 25.

In the [vertical attitude deriving configuration] shown in FIG. 13, the introduction path 22 is formed by bending the long diameter D2 side.
A terminal portion 22A whose direction is changed in the horizontal direction from the vertical portion 22B is formed, and the coin 10 guided from above is sent out from the terminal portion 22A in a vertical posture.
The delivered coin 10 is configured to be turned by hitting the turning surface 65 arranged opposite to the terminal portion 22A, and to fall on the transport surface 25 arranged below.

Therefore, in the case of the [vertical attitude deriving configuration] of FIG. 13, the coin 10 guided on the introduction path 22 is decelerated on the turning surface 65, as in the case of the [horizontal attitude deriving configuration] of FIG. Since the coin 10 falls later on the transport surface 25, it falls down gently on the transport surface 25, and operates so that the surface of the coin 10 lies on the transport surface 25.

The moving direction of the transport surface 25 may be either the right direction or the left direction in the figure in any of the [vertical attitude deriving configuration] and the [horizontal attitude deriving configuration] in FIG. The direction in which the coin 10 is sent out from the terminal portion 22A may be the same direction, or may be the opposite direction. Further, the distance H1 between the transport surface 25 and the bottom surface 62E of the turning portion 60, for example, the thickness of the largest coin 10 is larger than, for example, about 5 times, and the coins 10 overlap on the transport surface 25. In this case, the distance H1 is set to be greater than the height H2 of the guide walls 13A and 13B so that the coin 10 can pass under the turning portion 65 and pass out of the turning portion 60 so as not to fly out. A small dimension, for example, a dimension of about 80% of the height H2, and a dimension of a width B1 between the front and rear of the box-shaped body 62 is about two to three times the outer diameter of the largest coin 10;
The width B1 is configured to be about 1/2 to 1/3 of the width B2 between the front and rear guide walls 13A and 13B.

Further, the sixth prior art to the first prior art shown in FIGS.

In FIG. 11, the toothed pulley, that is, the pulley 11x for a timing belt, has a tooth profile 1 similar to a low gear at a predetermined pitch on the outer periphery.
The timing belt 12x is provided with teeth 12y corresponding to the teeth 11y at an interval corresponding to the pitch of the teeth 11y. The transmission operation is performed while meshing with the tooth profile 12y, so that there is an advantage that even when the transmission load is large, there is no slip unlike the belt-driven transmission mechanism using the flat belt. The timing belt pulley 11x and the timing belt 12x are
In general, the required number of teeth and length are selected from commercially available thigh dimensions and used.

b etc. are bearing plates 11a1, 11a2, 11b1, 11b2 fixed to the guide wall A and the guide wall 13B of the guide body 13.
Each time, such a bearing plate 1
There is an inconvenience that the work of providing 1a1, 11a2, 11b1, and 11b2 by spot welding or screwing must be performed.

Further, a connection portion of each divided conveyance path 20A,
That is, in order to fix the vertical arrangement position of the upstream belt 12 and the downstream belt 12 at the joint of each divided conveyance path 20A in a predetermined positional relationship, when the divided conveyance path 20A is installed. In addition, there is an inconvenience that an adjustment portion must be provided so as to be fixed while finely adjusting the arrangement position in the vertical direction on site.

Further, according to the sixth prior art of [divided transport path configuration] of FIG. 9 and the seventh prior art configuration of FIG. 10, coin transport device 2 having a plurality of short divided transport paths 20A is used.
00, there is an advantage that the coin transport device 200 having a series of long transport paths 20 can be assembled at the site, but the length of each divided transport path 20A is manufactured to have a certain standard length. When the pachinko machine is brought to the site, the pachinko tajima device 500 or the pachinko tajima line device 1
Since the length does not exactly match the length of the interlocking mechanism 23,
Of the interlock (in this invention, the interlock length)
Depending on the installation location of the coin transport device 200, it is slightly different, so it is necessary to take various countermeasures such as making belts having different lengths in advance and selecting and using a belt having the most appropriate length from among them. There is a disadvantage that there is.
