Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a disc body sorting device that discriminates the authenticity of disc bodies such as coins, substitute coins (tokens), or play medals, and sorts them.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in a gaming machine such as a slot machine, the authenticity of a disc body (a coin or a medal for play) inserted from a disc body slot is determined and regarded as a true disc body. In addition, a disc body sorting device is provided that accommodates disc bodies and excludes disc bodies that are regarded as pseudo disc bodies.
[0003]
This conventional disk body sorting device is composed of a disk body guide passage composed of a single inclined transfer rail formed in a straight line for transferring a disk body inserted from a disk body insertion port, and this single body. A disc body sorting means is provided in the middle of the inclined transfer rail and discriminates the authenticity of the disc body by the difference in outer diameter.
[0004]
The disk body selecting means is formed on one side wall of the disk body guide passage along the transfer direction of the disk body, and the upper edge is formed at a position slightly lower than the outer diameter of the coin to be transferred. The notch, the inclined wall in which the side wall in which the notch is formed is inclined outward with respect to the traveling direction of the disc body, and the disc body that is passing through the point where the notch is formed are pressed against the notch side. And disc body pressing means.
[0005]
According to such a disc body sorting means, the disc body guided into the disc body guide passage composed of one inclined transfer rail has a notch formed during the transfer of one inclined transfer rail. The disc body is pressed to the notch side by the disc body pressing means on the way. At that time, when the outer diameter of the pressed disk body is larger than the outer diameter of the true disk body, the outer diameter of the disk body of the disk body guide passage located above the upper edge of the notch. Since the disc body is in sliding contact with the side wall, the disc body falls into the notch and is guided downstream of the disc body guide passage without changing its posture.
[0006]
On the other hand, when the outer diameter of the disk body pressed to the notch side by the disk body pressing means is smaller than the outer diameter of the true disk body, the posture is changed by being pushed down to the inclined wall side by the notch. Thus, it is eliminated by dropping downward from a slit formed on the side of the bottom surface of one inclined transfer rail.
[0007]
That is, according to the disc body selection means described above, the input disc body having an outer diameter smaller than that of the true disc body is regarded as a false disc body and dropped downward to be eliminated, and the diameter of the input disc body is smaller than that of the true disc body. The large input disc body is regarded as a true disc body and is guided and accommodated downstream of the disc body guide passage composed of a single inclined transfer rail, so that the input disc body has its outer diameter. Based on the difference, true / false is discriminated and selected.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, according to the conventional disk body sorting device described above, the disk body pressing means of the disk body sorting means is placed at a point where the disk body passes through the notch, that is, on one side wall of the disk body guide passage. For example, in a state where a false disk body having an outer diameter smaller than that of a perfect disk body is rampant along the height direction of the disk body guide passage. When it passes through the notch and reaches the position where the disk body pressing means is disposed, the pseudo disk body passes in a state of being violated along the height direction of the disk body guide passage. Although the outer diameter of the plate body is smaller than the outer diameter of the true disk body, the outer diameter of the false disk body is apparently located above the upper edge of the cutout due to the rampage in the height direction. There is a case.
[0009]
As described above, when the outer diameter of the pseudo disk body having a small diameter is positioned above the upper edge of the apparent cutout at the disposition point of the disk body pressing means due to the fluctuation in the height direction, Even if the plate body is pressed to the notch side by the disk body pressing means, the outer diameter of the pseudo disk body is apparently above the upper edge of the notch. Therefore, the false disc body is regarded as a true disc body and is guided downstream of the disc body guide passage. There is a difficulty that it is impossible to accurately determine the authenticity of the disc body.
[0010]
Further, conventionally, since the disk body pressing means is disposed in the middle of the disk body guide passage made of a single straight inclined transfer rail, a linear circle is provided by the amount of the disk body pressing means. The entire length of the plate body guide passage has to be ensured long, so that the front width of the disk body sorter becomes large and hinders downsizing.
[0011]
In view of the circumstances described above, an object of the present invention is to provide a disc body sorting apparatus that is more accurate in discriminating disc bodies and that is further miniaturized.
[0012]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problem, in the present invention, a disk body guide passage composed of an inclined transfer rail that transfers a disk body inserted from a disk body insertion port, and a circle that transfers the inside of the disk body guide passage. In the disc body sorting device having disc body sorting means for discriminating the authenticity of the disc body from the difference in the outer diameter of the disc body, the disc body guide passage is downward from the disc body inlet A first disc body guide passage that extends toward the second disc body, and a second disc body guide passage that extends in a slanting manner downward from the downstream end of the first disc body guide passage. The disc body sorting means projects to the disc body outer diameter regulating portion for regulating the outer diameter of the disc body upstream of the first disc body guide passage and the first disc body guide passage. , and the plate thickness regulating means for regulating the thickness of the disc body passing through the disk body falling speed reducing means provided downstream of the disc outside size specification system unit, A notch formed along the transfer direction of the disc body on one side wall of the second disc body guide passage, and the traveling direction of the disc body on the one side wall where the notch is formed An inclined wall that is inclined outward, and a circle that is disposed at the downstream end of the first disk body passage, and that presses the disk body falling from the disk body insertion port to the one side wall side where the notch is formed. The disk body pressing means is further characterized in that the disk body outer diameter restricting means and the plate thickness restricting means have the same position in the height direction of the apparatus .
[0013]

The upper side of the main plate 2 is always covered by the force, and a first disc body guide passage and a second disc body guide passage, which will be described later, are formed between the gate plate 3 and the main plate 2.
[0017]
On the surface 2a of the main plate 2, as shown in FIG. 2 showing a state in which the gate plate 3 and the cover plate 4 are removed, the upper end communicates with the disc body insertion port 10, and the lower end extends downward. A second circle that communicates with the other side wall 11a of the first disc body guide passage 11 and the lower end of the first disc body guide passage 11 and extends in a continuous manner toward the lower right of the drawing. The other side wall 12a of the plate body guide passage 12 is formed.
[0018]
In addition, each one side wall 11b, 12b which comprises the 1st disc body guide channel | path 11 and the 2nd disc body guide channel | path 12 is formed in the back surface 3b of the gate plate 3, as shown in FIG. . A single inclined transfer rail 3c is formed at the lower end of the gate plate 3 along the second disc body guide passage 12 and made of straight ribs bent toward the main plate 2 side.
[0019]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, the above-described second disc body guide passage 12 has a disc that selects a disc body to be transferred in the second disc body guide passage 12 based on the difference in outer diameter. The main part of the plate body sorting means 20 is formed.
[0020]
The disc body sorting means 20 is a notch 21 formed in one side wall 12b of the second disc body guide passage 12 along the disc body transfer direction, and is a single inclined transfer rail. The notch 21 formed slightly shorter than the outer diameter of the perfect disc body to which the height L from 3c to the upper edge 21a is transferred, and one side wall 12b on which the notch 21 is formed are the disc body. It is comprised from the inclination wall 12c inclined outward with respect to the advancing direction.
[0021]
In the present invention, in particular, a part of the disk body sorting means 20 described above is configured, and the disk body falling from the disk body insertion port 10 is pressed against the one side wall 12b side where the notch 21 is formed. As shown in FIG. 2, the disk body pressing means 22 is disposed on the other side wall 11 a located at the downstream end of the first disk body guide passage 11.
[0022]
As shown in FIG. 3 shown in the AA enlarged sectional view of FIG. 1, the disk body pressing means 22 is substantially supported by a bearing portion 2c protruding from the main plate back surface 2b through a shaft 23a. It is composed of an L-shaped disc body pressing lever 23.
[0023]
The disk body pressing lever 23 is centered on the shaft 23a by the biasing force of the coil spring 24 which is a biasing means disposed between the rear end 23b of the disk body pressing lever 23 and the main plate back surface 2b. The tip 23c of the disc body pressing lever 23 is always urged counterclockwise. Therefore, the tip 23c of the disc body pressing lever 23 is inserted through a hole 2d formed in the main plate surface 2a located at the downstream end of the first disc body guide passage 11. 1 disc body guide passage 11 protrudes into the downstream end.
[0024]
In FIG. 3, reference numeral 25 denotes a thickness screen constituting a plate thickness regulating means which is a part of the disk body selecting means 20, and this thickness screen 25 is guided from the main plate surface 2a to the first disk body guide. The thickness of the disc body that protrudes into the passage 11 and falls in the first disc body guide passage 11 at a distance S between the back surface 3b of the gate plate 3 and the tip of the thickness screen 25 is thereby reduced. It is regulated. The distance S between the tip of the thickness skewer 25 and the gate plate back surface 3b is set to be substantially the same as or slightly larger than the plate thickness of the perfect circular plate.
[0025]
1 and 2, reference numeral 30 denotes a disk body removing means for forcibly removing the disk body that is transferred through the second disk body guide passage 12 from the second disk body guide passage 12. Reference numeral 31 denotes a disk body detection sensor that detects the number of disk bodies that pass through the second disk body guide passage 12.
[0026]
The disk body exclusion means 30 described above operates when the number of disk bodies that continuously pass through the second disk body guide passage 12 by the disk body detection sensor 31 reaches a predetermined number, Thereafter, the disc body transferred through the second disc body guide passage 12 is forcibly dropped from the second disc body guide passage 12 to be eliminated. As shown in FIG. And a disc body exclusion lever 33 that protrudes upward in the drawing by the action of the solenoid 32. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 34 indicates that the disk body that normally transfers through the second disk body guide passage 12 is smoothly guided downstream by preventing the disk body from falling off the notch 21. During forced exclusion, the disc body exclusion lever 33 operates in conjunction with the disc body to be excluded passing through the second disc body guide passage 12 smoothly from within the second disc body guide passage 12. It is a disk body guide lever that drops downward.
[0027]
Further, reference numeral 60 in FIG. 1 abuts on the disk body inserted from the disk body insertion port 10, thereby relaxing the falling speed of the disk body falling in the first disk body guide passage 11. The disc body falling speed relaxation means 60 is a swing lever 62 that is rotatably supported on the surface of the gate plate 3 via a shaft 61, and the swing lever 62 is always watched. And a spring 63 biasing in the direction. Note that the tip 62a of the swing lever 62 protrudes into the first disc body guide passage 11 via an arc-shaped cutout 64 formed in the gate plate 3, and thereby the tip 62a of the swing lever 62 and The swinging disc 62 is caused to collide with the falling disc body and the swing lever 62 is rotated counterclockwise about the shaft 61, thereby relaxing the fall speed of the disc body.
[0028]
Next, the operation of the disk body sorting device 1 described above will be described, and the configuration will be described in more detail.
[0029]
As shown in FIG. 4 where the same parts as in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, when a disk body 40 having an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the perfect disk body is inserted into the disk body inlet 10, the disk The body 40 engages between a pair of outer diameter restricting claws 3d and 3e projecting from the back surface of the gate plate 3 into the first disk body guide passage 11, and therefore, from the outer diameter of the true disk body. In addition, the disk body 40 having a large outer diameter is prevented from falling down in the first disk body guide passage 11. The distance between the pair of outer diameter restricting claws 3d and 3e is set to be slightly wider than the outer diameter of the perfect circular plate body.
[0030]
In order to eliminate the disc body 40 that is engaged between the pair of outer diameter regulating claws 3d and 3e of the gate plate 3 and prevented from falling off, it is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the gate lever 35 that spreads between the main plate 2 and the gate plate 3 is pushed in the direction of the arrow B, so that the gap between the main plate 2 and the gate plate 3 is greatly expanded as shown in FIG. The disk body 40 that is opened and engaged between the pair of outer diameter regulating claws 3d and 3e is dropped and removed.
[0031]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, a disc body 41 having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the true disc body but having a plate thickness larger than that of the true disc body is placed in the disc body inlet 10. When inserted, the disc body 41 comes into contact with the thickness screw 25 as shown in FIG. 8 which is an AA enlarged cross section of FIG. 7, so that it is prevented from falling down in the first disc body guide passage 11. Is done. In addition, in order to eliminate the disc body 41 which is in contact with the thickness skewer 25 and prevented from dropping, the space between the main plate 2 and the gate plate 3 shown in FIG. The expanding gate lever 35 is pressed in the direction of the arrow B, and as a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the space between the main plate 2 and the gate plate 3 is greatly expanded so that the disc body is in contact with the thickness screw 25. 41 is dropped and eliminated.
[0032]
Next, the case where a perfect disc body is thrown in is explained in full detail.
[0033]
As shown in FIG. 10, when the true disc body 42 is inserted into the disc body insertion port 10, the disc body 42 is formed between the pair of outer diameter restricting claws 3d and 3e, the tip of the thickness skewer 25, and the gate. It passes between the plates 3 and then collides with the swing lever tip 62a of the disk body fall speed relaxation means 60, and the fall speed is relaxed and guided to the downstream side of the first disk body guide passage 11. The
[0034]
At that time, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 shown in the AA enlarged sectional view of FIG. 10, the perfect disc body 42 comes into contact with the disc body pressing lever 23 of the disc body pressing means 22, and the disc body pressing lever. 23 is rotated clockwise against the urging force of the coil spring 24, thereby passing between the disc body pressing lever 23 and the gate plate 3. In addition, while passing between the disc body pressing lever 23 and the gate plate 3, a biasing force that is pressed against the back surface 3 b side of the gate plate 3 by the disc body pressing lever 23 always acts on the true disc body 42. Therefore, the urging force prevents as much as possible the ramping of the true disc body 42 in various directions, so that the posture is always controlled to a constant posture, in other words, the downstream end of the first disc body guide passage 11, in other words, It is guided to the starting end of the second disc body guide passage 12.
[0035]
As described above, when the perfect disc body 42 reaches the start end of the second disc body guide passage 12 in a fixed posture, the lower end of the outer diameter thereof is connected to one inclined transfer rail 3c as shown in FIG. Further, the upper end of the outer diameter is in contact with the side wall 12b of the second disc body guide passage 12 located at the upper edge 21a or more of the notch 21.
[0036]
As described above, when the upper end of the outer diameter of the perfect disc body 42 comes into contact with the side wall 12b of the second disc body guide passage 12 positioned at the upper edge 21a or more of the notch 21, the true disc body 42 is cut. As shown in FIG. 13 which is a front view of the disc body sorting device 1 without falling to the notch 21 side, it passes through the disc body removing means 30 along the inclined transfer rail 3c of the second disc body guide passage 12. Further, it is discharged from a disk body discharge hole 2d formed downstream thereof and accommodated in a safe (not shown).
[0037]
Next, a case where a disk body 43 having an outer diameter smaller than that of a perfect disk body and having a thickness equal to or thinner than that of the true disk body will be described in detail.
[0038]
As shown in FIG. 14, when the above-described disk body 43 is inserted into the disk body insertion port 10, the disk body 43 is interposed between the pair of outer diameter regulating claws 3 d and 3 e, and the thickness screw 25. It passes between the front end and the gate plate 3, and further collides with the swing lever front end 62 a of the disc body fall speed reducing means 60 to reduce the fall speed, and downstream of the first disc body guide passage 11. Guided to the side.
[0039]
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 shown in the AA cross section of FIG. 14, the disc body 43 comes into contact with the disc body pressing lever 23 of the disc body pressing means 22, and the disc body pressing lever 23 is moved to the coil spring. Rotate clockwise about the shaft 23 a against the urging force of 24, thereby passing between the disc body pressing lever 23 and the gate plate 3. At that time, that is, while passing between the disc body pressing lever 23 and the gate plate 3, the disc body 43 has an urging force F pressed against the back surface 3 b side of the gate plate 3 by the disc body pressing lever 23. Since it always acts, the biasing force F prevents the disc body 43 from moving in various directions as much as possible, so that the disc body 43 is always controlled to a constant posture and the second disc body guide passage. 12 to the start end G side.
[0040]
In this way, when the disc body 43 reaches the starting end G of the second disc body guide passage 12 under the control of a constant posture, the lower end of the outer diameter is one inclined transfer as shown in FIG. It abuts on the rail 3c, and the upper end of its outer diameter reaches a position below the upper edge 21a of the notch 21.
[0041]
Thus, when the upper end of the outer diameter of the disc body 43 reaches a position below the upper edge 21a of the notch 21, the urging force F of the coil spring 24 is pressed against the disc body 43 on the left side. Since it acts via the disc body pressing lever 23 constituting the means 22, the disc body 43 is tilted to the inclined wall 12c side via the notch 21 and changes its posture as shown in FIG.
[0042]
As shown in FIG. 17, when the disc body 43 falls to the inclined wall 12c side through the notch 21 and changes its posture, the lower end of its outer diameter falls off the inclined transfer rail 3c. As shown, the disc body 43 is removed by dropping downward from a slit 50 formed along the left side of the inclined transfer rail 3c.
[0043]
That is, in the disk body sorting apparatus 1 according to the present invention described above, the disk body pressing lever 23 of the disk body pressing means 22 is formed at the downstream end of the first disk body guide passage 11, in other words, the notch 21 is formed. Since the second disc body guide passage 12 is disposed on the start end side, all the disc bodies receive the urging force of the disc body pressing lever 23 before being transferred into the notch 21, As a result, the ramp of the disc body in various directions is prevented as much as possible. Therefore, when the disc body reaches the notch 21, the disc body always reaches a state in which it is controlled in a constant posture. .
[0044]
Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 16 in particular, when the disc body 43 having a smaller diameter than the true disc body is selected by inclining the disc body 43 toward the notch 21 side, the disc body 43 has the second circular shape in a violent posture. It reaches the starting end G of the plate body guide passage 12 and its outer diameter does not seem to reach the position of the upper edge 21a or more of the apparent cutout 21. Therefore, an accurate diameter selection function of the disk body 43 having a small diameter is achieved. Can be maintained.
[0045]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20 showing an enlarged cross section of the BB, when a disc body 44 having a slightly smaller diameter than the perfect disc body is inserted into the disc body insertion port 10, There is a possibility that the outer diameter is sandwiched between the inclined transfer rail 3 c and the upper edge 21 a of the notch 21.
[0046]
In this case, since the disk body 44 cannot be eliminated simply by expanding the gate plate 3, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the disk body exclusion bar fitting hole 3f is inserted into the gate plate 3. The disc body exclusion bar 4a is projected from the cover plate 4 at a position facing the disc body exclusion bar fitting insertion hole 3f.
[0047]
According to such a disc body exclusion bar 4a, as shown in FIG. 20, the gate lever 35 is pressed in the direction of arrow B to spread between the main plate 2 and the gate plate 3, and thereby FIG. When the space between the main plate 2 and the gate plate 3 is expanded, the disc body exclusion bar 4a of the cover plate 4 is inserted into the disc body exclusion bar insertion hole 3f of the gate plate 3. To contact the disc body 44. Thereafter, when the gate lever 35 is further pressed in the direction of the arrow B, the disk body 44 is pressed by the urging force of the disk body exclusion bar 4a. As a result, as shown in FIG. The disc body 44 sandwiched between the edges 21a falls below the gate plate 3 and is forcibly removed.
[0048]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the disk body sorting apparatus of the present invention, the disk body pressing means for pressing the disk body falling from the disk body insertion port to the notch side is cut as in the prior art in order to perform diameter sorting. It is not arranged at the downstream end of the first disc body guide passage for guiding the disc body to the second disc body guide passage having the notch, but at the second disc body guide passage having the notch. Therefore, the disc body to be subjected to diameter selection is moved in various directions by the urging force of the disc body pressing means while passing through the first disc body guide passage before being transferred into the notch. Therefore, when the disc body reaches the notch, it always reaches a state in which it is controlled in a constant posture. A disc body sorting device that has a stable sorting function by reducing as much as possible the diameter sorting error due to the rampage of small disc bodies. It can be.
[0049]
In addition, the disc body pressing means is not the second disc body guide passage having a notch formed as in the prior art, but the first disc body for guiding the disc body to the second disc body guide passage. Since it is arranged in the guide passage, it is possible to provide a compact disc body sorting device with a short front width by setting the entire length of the second disc body guide passage to be shorter.
