Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a banknote storage and dispensing device in a pachinko parlor where a large number of amusement tables, a table ball and a medal lending machine are arranged on an island, and arranged at the end of the island. It is.

<Prior art> Recently, pachinko parlors and other pachinko machines and slot machines are used in pachinko parlors, etc., and the ball-to-ball or machine-to-car medal machines that are interposed between each of the game consoles adopt an island-type arrangement. At the end of the island, a bill collecting device for storing bills collected from the lending machine is installed.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> That is, this type of banknote collection device that has been used so far simply uses banknotes (1000-yen bills) used in a table-to-ball / medal lending machine in island units. It only has the function of being accommodated in the stocker section of the banknote collection device at the island end via the banknote transport line serving as the collection path, and does not directly reuse (for example, exchange) the collected banknotes. For this reason, a clerk must periodically open the door of the device, take out the collected bills, and refill the bills one by one as currency exchange bills of a separate currency exchange machine installed at, for example, a corner of a hall. It is the present situation that is being done.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides a bill collecting device at an island end, in which a collected bill can be directly reused as a payout (exchange) bill, and a bill in a pachinko parlor that solves the above-mentioned problem. It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage and dispensing device.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention provides an island-based banknote storage and dispensing device in which an amusement table and a table-to-table ball lending machine or a table-to-table medal lending machine are arranged in islands. A first stocker for temporary standby for carrying in the bills collected from the lending machine from below, and a second stocker for dispensing continuously provided above the first stocker via a transfer mechanism; and A number counter is attached to each of the delivery positions of the stocker.

The first stocker also serves as a storage section for an additional bill to be packed by a staff member.

<Operation> Due to the above-described configuration, bills (1000-yen bills) used for a lending machine for obtaining a ball or a medal while sitting down at the amusement stand position are not billed from the lending machine. The paper money is fed to the lower guide port of the banknote storage and dispensing device at the island end in a vertical position through a transport line (collection path), and the recovered banknotes are turned to a horizontal position through a position converting means such as a bending guide of a guide belt. From the bottom of the first stocker. The bills fed to the first stocker move upward due to the rise of the receiving stand located on the lower surface, and dive and rest on the frame-type bill receiving plate.
The bills in the first stocker are paid out based on a supply signal from the second payout second stocker. That is, the banknotes are fed one by one by the rotation of the feeding roller serving as a transfer mechanism disposed above the first stocker, and are advanced to the second stocker side. At the time of this transfer, the number of sheets fed out is counted by a sheet counter composed of sensors arranged on the transfer path. Next, even in the second stocker position, the receiving tray facing the lower surface of the bill is raised as described above, and the bill is sunk onto the upper frame-shaped bill receiving plate to be in a standby state for payout.

Here, when a change signal is input, the upper payout roller rotates, and the uppermost bill is fed to the outside through the number counter to be paid out. However, when the bill is paid out, the feeding on the first stocker side is stopped.

Further, the first stocker can also be used to store new (additional) exchange banknotes that are directly jammed by a clerk, and the number of conveyed sheets is checked at the number counter.

<Example> Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings of examples.
It is as follows.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an amusement stand 2 and a group of lending machines 3 of a lump ball lending machine or a luggage medal lending machine arranged in an island, and a bill storage and dispensing device installed at the end of the island. At the lower side of one side of the housing 1a, there is provided a bill inlet 5 facing the end of the bill transfer line 4 where the bill A communicated with the inter-unit lending machine 3 is collected in a vertical position, and the bill A is directed sideways to the bill inlet 5 ( A draw-out roller 7 is provided with a posture changing refraction guide path 6 interposed therebetween (horizontal posture), and a case type first stocker 8 serving as a temporary standby is disposed in front of the drawer roller 7, and an upper end opening 8a of the first stocker 8 is provided. A feed roller 10 of a transfer mechanism 9 for feeding in the horizontal direction is provided at the upper part of the feeder, and a pair of nipping rollers 11 and a counting sensor 12 serving as a number counter are provided in front of the feed roller 10 to serve as moving mechanism means. In front of the transfer mechanism 9, a case-shaped Disposed a second stocker 13 for output, said second stocker 13 dispensing mechanism 14 to the upper end opening 13a
And a counting sensor 17 serving as a number counter in front of the feeding roller 15.
And a payout belt 18. Reference numeral 19 denotes a coin replenishment line that communicates with the island-type machine lending machine 3, and reference numeral 20 denotes a coin collection line.

Next, this operation will be described. First, a banknote A of 1,000 yen used by the customer in the inter-room lending machine 3 in the island-type arrangement is transferred from the inter-chamber lending machine 3 through the well-known banknote transport line 4 which is a belt transport. It is carried into the bill inlet 5 of the bill storage and dispenser 1 installed at the end of the island. In this case, the banknote A advances in a vertical position (posture), but in the banknote storage and dispensing apparatus 1, the dispensing state takes a horizontal position. Switch to That is, the bill A is passed through the bending guide path 6 having a guide structure bent at 90 ° and converted into a horizontal position, and the bill A turned sideways enters the first stocker 8 via the drawer roller 7 from the entrance 8b. At this time, the bill A is inserted and supported by a pair of U-shaped guides 21 facing each other on both sides of the lower portion of the first stocker 8.

Here, the guide 21 moves up together with the cradle 22 located at the lower middle position to move the bill A upward. in this case,
The guide 21 and the cradle 22 move integrally with an elevating belt 24 that is rotated by a motor 23 installed on the side. Here, even when the bill A reaches the position of the standby frame-shaped bill receiving plate 25 and the guide 21 abuts on the bill receiving plate 25, the cradle 22 is raised against the spring 36. Is curved and deviates from the guide 21 and goes under the frame 25a. After that, the bill A is bent and extended at both ends to be placed on the bill receiving plate 25. At this time, if a large number of bills A are set on the bill receiving plate 25 in advance, when the receiving stand 22 for receiving the ascending bills A is pressed against this bill A group, the bill receiving plate 25 is similarly moved by the motor 26. Is moved down by the movement of the elevating belt 27 which rotates, and the banknotes A are temporarily floated a little.
(See FIG. 5). This billboard 25
The width of the movement corresponds to the thickness of the set bill A, and the uppermost bill A is constantly pressed against the payout roller 10.

Next, when there is an acceptance signal in the second payout second stocker 13 (when bills are not dispensed), the delivery roller 10 of the transfer mechanism 9 rotates, and accordingly, the delivery roller 10 is pressed against the delivery roller 10. It is fed out from the top bill A in the lateral direction as one address, and heads toward the second stocker 13 side. The photoelectric switch type counting sensor 12 operates when the transfer mechanism 9 is passed out, and counts the number of banknotes A that have passed.

Here, the bill A that has advanced to the second stocker 13 is supported by the U-shaped guide 28 at both ends of the bill A that has entered in the same manner as the lifting means in the first stocker 8, and the center is received by the cradle 29. Can be Thereafter, the banknote A is raised to the upper frame-shaped tag receiving plate 32 by the elevating belt 31 rotated by the motor 30,
It is placed on the bill receiving plate 32 while passing under the frame 32a. The bill receiving plate 32 itself is also an elevating belt rotated by a motor 33.
The banknote A is moved up and down in accordance with the thickness of the banknote A set at 34, and the topmost banknote A is pressed against the feeding roller 15.

Thereafter, if a currency exchange signal is issued to the bill storage and dispensing apparatus 1 by inserting a 10,000 yen bill or the like, the dispensing mechanism 14 above the second stocker 13 is operated, and the dispensing mechanism 14 is operated in accordance with the rotation speed of the dispensing roller 15. The banknotes A jammed on the lower surface are sequentially fed out, sent to the position of the orthogonal payout belt 18 by the sandwiching roller 16, and the payout belt
By the rotation of 18, the paper is discharged to the payout port 35 in the lateral direction (front side). Of course, when passing through the payout mechanism 14, the number of bills A to be paid out is counted by a counting sensor 17 comprising a photoelectric switch provided in the middle.

When the number of banknotes A temporarily stocked in the first stocker 8 does not run short (when the number of banknotes collected from the inter-unit lending machine 3 is small), the attendant separately exchanges banknotes A. May be replenished. That is, at this time, the door 8d of the first stocker 8 in the housing 1a is opened, and the banknotes A to be supplied are set on the banknotes A placed on the frame-type bill receiving plate 25. As described above, the number of the additional bills A is counted by the counting sensor 12 provided in the middle when the paper leaves the first stocker 8 and is transferred to the second stocker 13 in the same manner as described above. The number of sets is clearly understood.

<Effect of the Invention> As described above, the bill storage and dispensing device in the pachinko parlor of the present invention is a collection device at the island end that stores bills of 1,000 yen bills collected from the lending machine between the amusement tables by collecting the collected bills. The first stocker for temporary standby and the second stocker for dispensing were divided and arranged to deal with direct dispensing use, and bills that were once collected were transferred stepwise from the first stocker to the second stocker. The bills used in the lending machine are not only collected but also directly converted into bills (paid-out bills). As before, the collected bills are taken out as exchange bills for a separate money changing machine installed at the end of the hall. There is no need, which reduces the work of staff. In addition, in this case, since the counting sensor is provided at the feeding position of the first stocker and the second stocker, it is possible to easily check the number of payable bills and check the number of collected bills. In addition, since the first stocker and the second stocker have a stepwise stocker configuration, it is possible to perform efficient processing without having to wait for storage and payout of randomly generated bills. Furthermore, this first stocker can be used as a stocker for additional currency notes. In this case, the number of additional banknotes to be fed out from the first stocker can be counted reliably, so that a mistake in setting by a staff member or the like can be eliminated, and banknote management can be performed with peace of mind. In addition, since the bill collection units at each island end also serve as currency exchange machines, there is an effect that service to customers is improved.
