The weight 200 which presses the cardlike gifts is spherical, so the weight when pushed by the claw push opening plate 41 moves onto it and automatically returns into the gift storage cylinder.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic dispensing machine for card-like prizes that can be exchanged for game balls, medals, and the like obtained in a game facility such as a pachinko parlor. More particularly, the present invention relates to a table-type automatic prize dispensing machine for paying out card-like premiums from the lower end opening of a premium storage cylinder which stores card-like premiums in a vertically stacked state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A desk type card-like prize automatic dispensing machine is:
The card-like prizes stacked in the vertically arranged prize storage tube are discharged from the lower end opening of the storage tube and paid out.

In general, a plurality of prize storage tubes are arranged in a horizontal row (in a direction perpendicular to the card-like prize payout direction) so that different types of card-like prizes can be paid out. The card-like prize falling from the lower end opening of each storage cylinder is taken out from a payout opening formed on the front side thereof. That is, the card-like prizes falling from the lower end openings of the respective storage cylinders are horizontally pushed out one by one toward the near side by the pushing mechanism located at the rear side, and dropped into the payout opening. A card-like prize automatic dispensing machine having such a structure is disclosed in, for example,
3-24525 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-87083.

[0004]

This type of automatic card-like prize dispenser has the following problems to be solved.
First, since each type of card-like prize is stored in only one prize storage tube, the number of stored prizes is small. Since the card-like prizes are pushed to the near side by the pushing mechanism arranged at the rear side of the storage tube, if a plurality of storage tubes are arranged in the front-back direction, the card-like prizes cannot be pushed to the front side one by one. Therefore, in the conventional structure, the number of stored prizes of the same type cannot be increased by increasing the number of prize storage tubes in the front-rear direction. For this reason, there is a problem to be solved that a card-like prize is frequently replenished.

In addition, the supply of card-like prizes into each prize storage cylinder is performed by dropping a few card-like prizes into the cylinder from the upper end thereof. There is a problem to be solved that such a refilling operation is troublesome and inefficient.

Further, in order to keep the card-like prize filled in each prize storage cylinder in a stacked state, it is desirable to press the card-like prize from the upper side, but the last card-like prize is a prize. When pushed out laterally from the storage cylinder, a pressing member such as a weight on the storage cylinder also falls from the lower end opening of the prize storage cylinder and moves in the horizontal direction. Therefore, it is necessary to attach a special mechanism so that the pressing member returns to the prize storage cylinder again.

[0007] In view of the above, the object of the present invention is to provide:
An object of the present invention is to propose a card-like prize automatic dispensing machine suitable for a desk type in which a large number of card-like prizes are stored.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a card-type prize automatic dispensing machine suitable for a table-top type which can easily perform a work for refilling card-like prizes into a prize storage tube in a short time. is there.

Further, an object of the present invention is to provide a card which can be returned into a prize storage cylinder without attaching a special mechanism even if a weight pressing a card-like prize falls from the lower end opening of the prize storage cylinder. It is to propose a prize automatic dispensing machine.

[0010]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an automatic card-like prize dispensing machine according to the present invention comprises: a prize storage cylinder capable of storing card-like prizes in a vertically stacked state; The card-like prize can be opened and closed between a closed position supporting both edge portions of the card-like prize located at the lowest position so as not to fall from the lower end opening of the cylinder and an open position separated from the card-like prize. It has a card-like prize support claw attached to the prize storage tube in a state, and a prize storage section provided with a biasing means for constantly biasing the card-like prize support claw to the closed position. A claw pushing and opening means which can move horizontally to push and open the card-like prize supporting claw to the opening position; and a card-like prize which falls from the lower end opening of the prize storage cylinder one by one in a horizontal direction. Transport means for transporting to

[0011] In addition, a weight for pushing the card-like prizes stacked in the prize storage tube toward the lower end opening is provided. It is characterized in that it has a circular arc surface that is convex downward when viewed along the transport direction by the means.

Here, the weight may be a sphere. Preferably, the weight is hung from the prize storage tube, and the card-like prize is pressed by its own weight.

In the automatic prize dispensing machine according to the present invention, the card-like prize stored in the prize storage tube is not dropped from the prize unless the card-like prize supporting claw is pushed open. Absent. Therefore, even when a plurality of prize storage tubes are arranged in the front-rear direction, the card-like prize can always be dropped from only one prize storage tube. As a result, a large number of prize storage tubes can be arranged in the front-rear direction, so that the number of stored prizes can be easily increased.

Further, in the present invention, when the last card-shaped prize in the prize storage tube is conveyed in the horizontal direction by the conveying means, the weight is conveyed because the conveying means slides below the arc surface. The user gets on the means and is pushed back into the prize storage cylinder from the lower end opening of the prize storage cylinder. When the transport means passes, the card-like prize supporting claw closes, so that the weight can be supported by the card-like prize supporting claw in the closed state, if the dimensions of the weight are appropriately set.

And an input unit 78 for inputting the information.

The drive control device 70 controls the drive of a drive motor 75 for moving the claw pushing plate and a drive motor 76 for conveying card-like prizes via motor drivers 73 and 74.

The payout operation of the card-like premium automatic payout machine 1 according to the present embodiment thus configured will be described. Dispensing machine body 2
When the prize cartridge 3 is loaded in the, the respective parts are initialized. As shown in FIG. 5, the nail push-opening plate 41 is positioned at an initial position on the near side of the first premium storage section 5 (1). When the number of payouts is input from the input unit 78, the motor 75 is driven, and the nail push-opening plate 41 advances to a position immediately below the lower end opening 52 of the prize storage cylinder 51 of the first prize storage unit 5 (1). The forward position is controlled based on the output of the sensor 81a. As a result, the pair of supporting claws 53 and 54 that have closed the lower end opening 52 are pushed open, and the card-shaped member located at the lowest position from the lower end opening 52 via the opening 41 b of the claw pushing open plate 41. The prize 10A falls. The transport belt 64 is located immediately below the opening 41b.

At this point, the conveyor belt 64 is being driven by the motor 76. Therefore, the card-like prize 10A that has fallen on the transport belt 64 rides on the transport belt 64 and is transported horizontally toward the front side of the main body case by the prize extrusion protrusion 65 formed thereon. A sensor 71 is located at the front end of the transport belt 64, and the number of card-like prizes 10 transported to the payout port 2b is counted by a counter mechanism of the drive control device 70 based on the sensor output. When the specified number of sheets are conveyed, the conveying belt 64 stops based on the output of the sensor 71a and the like, and the payout operation ends.

Here, when the sensor 81 detects that the card-like prize 10 stored in the first prize storage section 5 (1) has run out, the drive control device 70 drives the motor 75 to drive the motor 75. , The nail push-opening plate 41 is advanced toward the second prize storage 5 (2) on the rear side, and the lower end opening 52 thereof is opened.
Position immediately below. Positioning is controlled based on the output of the sensor 82a. As a result, the premium storage cylinder 51
Then, the support claws 53 and 54 at the lower end are pushed open, and the payout of the card-like prize from the prize storage tube 51 is started. Similarly, payout of card-like premiums is sequentially performed from the third, fourth, and fifth premium storage sections.

As described above, in the card-like prize dispensing machine 1 of the present embodiment, a plurality of prize storage sections are arranged in the front-rear direction of the main body case 2 and a pair of prize storage cylinders each of which can open and close the lower end opening of the prize storage cylinder of each prize storage section. The card-like prizes can be dropped by opening the support claws of the prize storage tube on the front stage side with a claw pushing open plate movable in the front-rear direction.

Since the card-like prizes are dropped from the lower end opening of the prize storage cylinder by opening and closing the support claws, even if a number of prize storage cylinders are arranged in front and back, the card-like prizes are moved forward one by one. It can be transported and paid out. Therefore, it is possible to increase the number of stored card-like prizes.

In this embodiment, when the premium cartridge 3 is attached to and detached from the main body case 2 and the lid of the premium cartridge 3 is opened, the side opening of each premium storage cylinder is exposed. Therefore, prizes can be remarkably easily and quickly replenished as compared with the case where the prizes are dropped from the upper opening.

In addition, the card-like prizes can be replenished at a point in time before all of the card-like prizes in the prize cartridge 3 are exhausted. Specifically, when the card-like prize in each prize storage tube is exhausted, the prize cartridge 3 can be pulled out of the main body case to replenish the card-like prize. That is, the lower end opening of each premium storage cylinder is always closed by the pair of support claws. Therefore, whenever the card-like prize stored in one prize storage tube runs out, the prize cartridge 3 can be replenished with the card-like prize as needed, which is convenient.

Here, the weight 200 of the card-like prize dispenser 1 of this embodiment operates as follows. As shown in FIG. 6A, the last card-like prize 10 in one prize storage tube 51 is provided.
When A falls from the opening 41b, the weight 200 riding thereon also falls from the opening 41b. Therefore, weight 2
00 is located in the opening 41b.

When the claw pushing plate 41 advances in this state, the spherical weight 200 is pushed and rolled by the edge of the opening, and rides on the claw pushing plate 41. To be precise, if the size of the weight is set so that the center 200a of the spherical weight 200 is located above the opening edge portion of the nail push-opening plate 41, the weight 200 is thus moved to the nail push-opening plate. Ride on 41. FIG. 6 (b),
(C) shows the state at this time.

As described above, the weight 200 falling from the opening 41b is automatically pushed back into the prize storage cylinder 51 by the movement of the claw push-opening plate 41. After this,
When the nail push-opening plate 41 passes through the lower end opening 52 of the prize storage cylinder 5, the card-like prize supporting claws 53 and 54 are closed as described above. The size of the weight 200,
If it is set so that it can be supported by the closed support claws 53 and 54, the weight 200 is held in the premium storage cylinder 5 as shown in FIG.

The weight 200 need not be spherical.
The pressing surface of the card-like prize may be an arc surface that is convex downward when viewed along the moving direction of the claw push-opening plate 41. For example, a cylindrical member as shown in FIG. 7 may be halved. Of course, a cylindrical member may be used. Furthermore, it may be a convex curved surface other than a spherical surface.

Next, FIG. 8 shows a preferred example of a method for controlling the movement of the claw pushing plate 41 of this embodiment. In this example, the prize cartridge 3 can be pulled out even when a card-like prize remains in one prize storage tube by controlling the movement position of the claw push-open plate 41.

That is, as shown in FIG. 8A, a case will be described in which the prize storage tube 51 of the prize storage unit 5 (1) is in the process of paying out the prize and the card-like prize 10 remains inside. In this case, the nail push open plate 41 is attached to the prize storage unit 5.
(1) It is positioned at the intermediate position of each premium storage cylinder 51 in 5 (2). FIG. 8B shows this state.

In this state, the support claws 53 and 54 are kept open in both of the premium storage tubes. However, since one card-like prize 10B is located in the opening 41b of the nail push-opening plate 41, the card-like prize 10B
B is in a state in which a part of the lower end opening of both prize storage tubes 51 is closed, so that the card-like prizes 10C and 10a do not drop from both prize storage tubes 51.

When the prize cartridge 3 is pulled out in the direction of the arrow while maintaining this state, the card-like prize 10B remaining on the nail push-open plate 41 functions as a guide, and the prize cartridge 3 can be pulled out.

Here, the claw pushing plate 41 has a trapezoidal portion formed in the front and rear, and the support claw 5 is formed by the portion.
As soon as the pawls 3 and 54 are pushed open, the card-like prize 10B conveyed by the pawl pushing open plate 41 enters between the opened supporting claws 53 and 54. Therefore, the card-like premiums 10C and 10a do not fall from the premium storage cylinder 51. That is, as shown in FIG. 8C, the card-like prize 10 located in the middle of both prize storage tubes 51 is provided.
The front and rear ends of B have lengths of F and E, respectively, and hang on the lower end openings of both premium storage tubes 51. For this reason, even if the support claws 53, 54 are opened, the card-like prizes 10C, 10a
Will not fall.

As described above, even when the card-like prize remains in the prize storage section 5 (1), the prize cartridge 3 can be pulled out to replenish the card-like prize. (Other Embodiments) FIG. 9 shows another example of the conveying means.
The conveying means shown in FIG.
A prize conveying surface 61 extending in a horizontal direction directly below the second guide rail 2 is defined by a pair of left and right guide rails 91 and 92.
A transport tool 62 for transporting the card-like premium 10 along the premium transport surface 61 is defined by a pusher block 94 transported by a chain belt 93. Such a configuration can be adopted without using a transport belt as in the above example.

In the above example, a single type of card-like prize is paid out for easy understanding, but actually, a plurality of types of card-like prizes are used. In this case, a large number of sets having the same structure as the dispensing machine 1 may be connected horizontally. FIG. 10 shows the configuration of a card-like premium automatic payout machine 100 that can pay out four types of card-like premiums. Each of the units 1A to 1D has the same configuration as the payout machine 1 described above, except that the types of card-like prizes stored therein are different.
