BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a coin lift-up device in a coin change machine installed in a pachinko parlor or the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Generally, a coin change machine installed in a pachinko parlor is generally installed in a block including a plurality of pachinko machine stands as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-251458, and adjacent to each other in this block. A ball lending machine is arranged between the pachinko machine bases, and coins thrown into this ball lending machine are collected in a coin changer by a pair of left and right conveyor belts, and the collected coins are lifted up in the coin changer While being lifted up by the apparatus, the coins that are appropriately switched to the coin dispensing mechanism and the coin collecting unit and fed into the coin dispensing mechanism are reused as exchange coins.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional coin changer, a pair of left and right recovery conveyor belts are combined with one coin lift-up device, and coins are introduced into the guide case by the recovery conveyor belt, for example, the left conveyor belt. The coins introduced from the side are held and raised by the inclined ridges provided on the belt by the forward rotation of the lift-up belt, and the coins introduced from the right transport belt are also inclined by the reverse rotation of the lift-up belt. It is held and raised by the ridge. For this reason, when the coins coming from two places are lifted up, there is a problem that the drive lifter motor must be rotated forward and backward and the switching timing between forward and reverse rotation must be controlled.
[0004]
In addition, coins are required to be collected efficiently and smoothly without trouble. However, since coins introduced from two places on the left and right are lifted up by one coin lift-up device, the coins are jammed. In addition, there is a relatively loose space (gap) between the guide case and the lift-up belt, so that the coin introduced into the guide case is not stable, and so-called fluttering occurs. .
[0005]
Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described conventional problems, and in a coin changer composed of a combination of one coin lift-up device and a pair of left and right collection conveyor belts, the coins entering from two places are lifted. When lifting, the lifter motor for driving can be lifted up only by forward rotation without rotating forward and backward, and the coins introduced into the guide case are stabilized without any traffic jams. An object of the present invention is to provide a coin lift-up device that is not provided.
