しかしながら、上述の遊技媒体洗浄装置では、遊技媒体の研磨に際して水などの洗浄液を用いて湿式で研磨、洗浄するので、漏水対策を施さなければならず、構造が複雑となり、製造コストを増加させる原因となっていた。   However, in the above-described game medium cleaning apparatus, when polishing the game medium, since it is wet-polished and cleaned using a cleaning liquid such as water, countermeasures for water leakage must be taken, the structure becomes complicated, and the manufacturing cost increases. It was.

また、洗浄液を定期的に取り替えるという煩わしい作業が必要なので、装置のメンテナンスが容易でなかった。   Further, since the troublesome work of periodically changing the cleaning liquid is necessary, the maintenance of the apparatus is not easy.

さらに、一方の研磨部材が常に静止した状態になっているので、遊技媒体が搬送の途中で滞りがちとなり、遊技媒体をスムースに搬送することができなかった。   In addition, since one of the polishing members is always stationary, the game medium tends to stagnate during the transfer, and the game medium cannot be transferred smoothly.

しかも遊技媒体が搬送の途中で滞った場合は、下側だけが研磨され、遊技媒体の両方の側を確実にむらなく研磨するということができなかった。   Moreover, when the game medium is stuck in the middle of conveyance, only the lower side is polished, and it is impossible to surely polish both sides of the game medium uniformly.

本発明は上記不具合に鑑みてなされたものであり、漏水対策を施す必要がなく、装置全体構造の簡素化と製造コストの低減を図ることができる遊技媒体研磨装置を提供することを課題としている。   The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a game medium polishing apparatus that does not need to take measures against water leakage and can simplify the overall structure of the apparatus and reduce manufacturing costs. .

また、洗浄液を定期的に取り替えるというような煩わしい作業が不要でメンテナンスが容易な遊技媒体研磨装置を提供することを課題としている。   It is another object of the present invention to provide a game media polishing apparatus that does not require a troublesome operation such as periodically replacing the cleaning liquid and is easy to maintain.

さらに、遊技媒体をスムースに搬送しながら、遊技媒体の両方の側を確実にむらなく研磨することができる遊技媒体研磨装置を提供することを課題としている。   It is another object of the present invention to provide a game medium polishing apparatus capable of polishing both sides of a game medium surely and uniformly while smoothly transporting the game medium.

上記課題を解決するための本発明は、遊技媒体を研磨する遊技媒体研磨装置であって、外周に乾式の研磨部材が設けられ、この研磨部材が所定の周速度で周回駆動される一方の研磨機と、外周に乾式の研磨部材が設けられ、この研磨部材が上記一方の研磨機に設定された周速度より速い周速度で周回駆動される他方の研磨機とを有し、上記一方の研磨機および他方の研磨機が、上記遊技媒体を挟持できるように当該遊技媒体の両側に配置された研磨機対を複数備え、上記遊技媒体の移動経路に対して一方側において、それぞれの上記研磨機対の周速の遅い一方の研磨機と隣接する研磨機対の周速の速い他方の研磨機とが交互に配置されるとともに、上記遊技媒体の移動経路に対して他方側において、それぞれの上記研磨機対の周速の速い他方の研磨機と隣接する研磨機対の周速の遅い一方の研磨機とが交互に配置されており、上記複数の研磨機対のそれぞれは、一方の研磨機の研磨部材と他方の研磨機の研磨部材との間に遊技媒体を挟持して搬送しながら遊技媒体を研磨するものであることを特徴としている。
The present invention for solving the above problems is a game medium polishing apparatus for polishing a game medium, wherein a dry polishing member is provided on an outer periphery, and the polishing member is driven around at a predetermined peripheral speed. and machine polishing member dry is provided on the outer periphery, the polishing member is closed and the other of a polishing machine that is driving to rotate at a faster peripheral speed than the peripheral speed set to one of a polishing machine described above, one of the The polishing machine and the other polishing machine are provided with a plurality of polishing machine pairs arranged on both sides of the game medium so that the game medium can be sandwiched, and each of the polishing machines on one side with respect to the moving path of the game medium. One polishing machine with a low peripheral speed of the machine pair and another polishing machine with a high peripheral speed of the adjacent polishing machine pair are alternately arranged, and on the other side with respect to the moving path of the game medium, The other of the above polishing machines with a high peripheral speed Polishing machine and the adjacent polishing machine pairs of peripheral speed slow one grinding machine are arranged alternately, each of the plurality of polisher pairs, polishing of the polishing member and the other grinding machine of one of the polishing machine The game medium is polished while the game medium is sandwiched and conveyed between the members.

本発明によれば、乾式の研磨部材同士の間に遊技媒体を挟持して研磨するので、水などの洗浄液を必要としない結果、漏水対策を施す必要がなく、装置全体構造の簡素化と製造コストの低減を図ることができる遊技媒体研磨装置を実現することができる。   According to the present invention, the game medium is sandwiched and polished between the dry polishing members, so that no cleaning liquid such as water is required, so there is no need to take measures against water leakage, and the overall structure of the apparatus is simplified and manufactured. A game medium polishing apparatus capable of reducing the cost can be realized.

また、このように遊技媒体の研磨に際して洗浄液を必要としないので、洗浄液を取り替えるような煩わしい作業が不要となる結果、装置のメンテナンスが容易になる。   Further, since the cleaning liquid is not required for polishing the game medium in this way, the troublesome work of replacing the cleaning liquid becomes unnecessary, and the maintenance of the apparatus is facilitated.

さらに、研磨機対が遊技媒体を挟持して搬送する際、一方の研磨機と他方の研磨機との周速度が異なるために、遊技媒体は、これらの周速度の中間の速度で駆動されることになる。その結果、一方の研磨機の研磨部材と他方の研磨機の研磨部材とが、それぞれ遊技媒体に対して相対的な運動をすることになり、遊技媒体は、それぞれの研磨機から摩擦力を受け、研磨される。このように、本遊技媒体研磨装置によれば、遊技媒体をスムースに搬送しながら、しかも遊技媒体の両方の側を確実に研磨することができるようになる。
また、この遊技媒体研磨装置は、複数の上記研磨機対を備え、それぞれの研磨機対の周速の遅い一方の研磨機は、隣接する研磨機対の周速の速い他方の研磨機の隣に配置されるとともに、それぞれの研磨機対の周速の速い他方の研磨機は、隣接する研磨機対の周速の遅い一方の研磨機の隣に配置されているので、遊技媒体のそれぞれの側が、周速度の遅い一方の研磨機と周速度の速い他方の研磨機とにより交互に研磨される結果、遊技媒体の表面をむらなく研磨することができるようになる。
Further, when the polishing machine pair holds and conveys the game media, the peripheral speeds of one polishing machine and the other polishing machine are different, so that the game media is driven at an intermediate speed between these peripheral speeds. It will be. As a result, the polishing member of one polishing machine and the polishing member of the other polishing machine each move relative to the game medium, and the game medium receives frictional force from each polishing machine. Polished. As described above, according to the present game medium polishing apparatus, it is possible to surely polish both sides of the game medium while transporting the game medium smoothly.
The game medium polishing apparatus includes a plurality of polishing machine pairs, and one polishing machine having a low peripheral speed of each pair of polishing machines is adjacent to the other polishing machine having a high peripheral speed of an adjacent polishing machine pair. And the other polishing machine having the higher peripheral speed of each pair of polishing machines is arranged next to the one polishing machine having the lower peripheral speed of the adjacent polishing machine pair. As a result of alternately polishing the side by one polishing machine having a low peripheral speed and the other polishing machine having a high peripheral speed, the surface of the game medium can be uniformly polished.

ここで、上記研磨機対は、少なくとも一方の研磨機の研磨部材が、研磨ブラシを備えていることが好ましい。   Here, in the polishing machine pair, at least one of the polishing machines preferably includes a polishing brush.

このようにすれば、研磨部材に備えられた研磨ブラシにより、遊技媒体の表面に凹凸があってもむらなく研磨をすることができるようになる。また、遊技媒体の表面を傷つけることを防止することができる。   In this way, the polishing brush provided on the polishing member can polish evenly even if the surface of the game medium is uneven. Further, it is possible to prevent the surface of the game medium from being damaged.

あるいは、上記研磨機対は、少なくとも一方の研磨機の研磨部材が、粘着部材を備えていることが好ましい。   Alternatively, in the polishing machine pair, it is preferable that the polishing member of at least one of the polishing machines includes an adhesive member.

このようにすれば、研磨機対の少なくとも一方の研磨機の研磨部材が、粘着部材を備えているので、遊技媒体の汚れを粘着部材に集中的に吸着させることができる結果、この粘着部材を取り替えたり洗浄したりするだけで遊技媒体の汚れを回収することができるようになる。   In this case, since the polishing member of at least one of the polishing machines of the pair of polishing machines includes the adhesive member, dirt on the game medium can be intensively adsorbed to the adhesive member. It becomes possible to collect the dirt of the game medium simply by replacing or washing.

ここで、上記粘着部材はシリコンゴムからなることが好ましい。   Here, the adhesive member is preferably made of silicon rubber.

また、上記研磨部材は、研磨機に対して着脱自在に設けられていることが好ましい。   Moreover, it is preferable that the said grinding | polishing member is provided so that attachment or detachment with respect to a grinding machine is possible.

このようにすれば、研磨部材が、研磨機に対して着脱自在に設けられているので、例えば研磨部材が汚れたり、磨耗したり、損傷したりした場合には、研磨部材をメンテナンスしたり取り替えたりすることができる結果、遊技媒体の表面を常に良好な状態に維持することができるようになる。   In this way, since the polishing member is detachably attached to the polishing machine, for example, when the polishing member becomes dirty, worn or damaged, the polishing member is maintained or replaced. As a result, the surface of the game medium can always be maintained in a good state.

ここで、上記研磨部材は、研磨機に対して着脱自在に軸支されるローラー軸の外周に研磨ブラシあるいは粘着部材が固定されたものであり、このローラー軸を介して研磨機から動力を受けて回転駆動されることが好ましい。   Here, the polishing member is one in which a polishing brush or an adhesive member is fixed to the outer periphery of a roller shaft that is detachably supported on the polishing machine, and receives power from the polishing machine via the roller shaft. It is preferable that the rotary drive is used.

このようにすれば、研磨部材が、研磨機に対して着脱自在に軸支されるローラー軸の外周に研磨ブラシあるいは粘着部材が固定されたものであり、このローラー軸を介して研磨機から動力を受けて回転駆動されるので、研磨部材の回転駆動、研磨機に対する着脱およびメンテナンスが容易で取り扱いやすい遊技媒体研磨装置を実現することができる。   In this way, the polishing member is such that the polishing brush or the adhesive member is fixed to the outer periphery of the roller shaft that is detachably supported with respect to the polishing machine. Therefore, it is possible to realize a game medium polishing apparatus that is easy to handle because it is rotationally driven in response to the rotational driving of the polishing member, the attachment and detachment of the polishing machine, and maintenance.

さらに、上記研磨部材は、耐水性材料あるいは耐溶剤性材料からなることが好ましい。   Further, the polishing member is preferably made of a water resistant material or a solvent resistant material.

このようにすれば、研磨部材が、耐水性材料あるいは耐溶剤性材料からなるので、研磨部材を水あるいは溶剤で洗浄してその汚れを取り除くことができるようになる。   In this way, the polishing member is made of a water-resistant material or a solvent-resistant material, so that the dirt can be removed by washing the polishing member with water or a solvent.

以上説明したように、本発明によれば、漏水対策を施す必要がなく、装置全体構造の簡素化と製造コストの低減を図ることができる遊技媒体研磨装置を実現することができる。また、洗浄液を取り替えるような煩わしい作業が不要となり、装置のメンテナンスが容易になるという顕著な効果を奏する。   As described above, according to the present invention, it is not necessary to take measures against water leakage, and it is possible to realize a game medium polishing apparatus that can simplify the overall structure of the apparatus and reduce manufacturing costs. In addition, the troublesome work of replacing the cleaning liquid is not required, and the apparatus can be easily maintained.

さらに、遊技媒体をスムースに搬送しながら、しかも遊技媒体の両方の側を確実にむらなく研磨することができるようになるという顕著な効果を奏する。   Furthermore, there is a remarkable effect that both sides of the game medium can be reliably polished while transporting the game medium smoothly.

上記遊技媒体1は、各種遊技において貨幣に代わる遊技媒体1として用いられる円形コイン状の金属製部材であり、本実施形態においては、スロットマシンに用いられるメダルが対象となっている。   The game medium 1 is a circular coin-shaped metal member used as a game medium 1 instead of money in various games. In the present embodiment, medals used in slot machines are targeted.

上記本体2は、ステンレスや合成樹脂被覆鋼板などで概ね直方体に組み立てられた箱体である。この本体2は、遊技媒体1を上部に設けた傾斜板2aの上を滑らせるようにして受け入れ、傾斜板2aの下端の下方に設けられたメダル移送手段3に供給するように構成されている。   The main body 2 is a box that is generally assembled in a rectangular parallelepiped shape using stainless steel, a synthetic resin-coated steel plate, or the like. The main body 2 is configured to receive the game medium 1 so as to slide on the inclined plate 2a provided at the upper portion thereof and to supply it to the medal transfer means 3 provided below the lower end of the inclined plate 2a. .

上記メダル移送手段3は、無端ベルト3aと、この無端ベルト3aが掛け渡された2つの回転ローラ3b、3cとを有している。   The medal transfer means 3 has an endless belt 3a and two rotating rollers 3b and 3c around which the endless belt 3a is stretched.

ここで、一方の回転ローラ3bは、後述する駆動機構7(図3)のモータ7aにより駆動され、他方の回転ローラ3cは、無端ベルト3aを介して回転ローラ3bに従動するように構成されている。また、回転ローラ3bは、回転ローラ3cよりも高い位置に配されているので、無端ベルト3aは傾斜している。そして、無端ベルト3a上の遊技媒体1を回転ローラ3c側から回転ローラ3b側へ送るように、ローラの回転方向が設定されている。また、この無端ベルト3aの回転ローラ3c側には、傾斜板2aから落下した遊技媒体1を無端ベルト3aから脱落しないように拘束するとともにオーバーフロー量を調整するオーバーフロー調整板2bが設けられている。   Here, one rotating roller 3b is driven by a motor 7a of a driving mechanism 7 (FIG. 3) described later, and the other rotating roller 3c is configured to be driven by the rotating roller 3b via an endless belt 3a.

The roller rotation direction is set so that the game medium 1 on the endless belt 3a is sent from the rotating roller 3c side to the rotating roller 3b side. Further, an overflow adjusting plate 2b is provided on the end of the endless belt 3a on the rotating roller 3c side to restrain the game medium 1 dropped from the inclined plate 2a from dropping off the endless belt 3a and adjust the overflow amount.

また、このメダル移送手段3の回転ローラ3b側には、無端ベルト3aの上側に、回転しながらブラシの先端で上に重なった余分な遊技媒体1を排除する円形放射状の整列ブラシ3dが設けられている。すなわち、この整列ブラシ3dは、遊技媒体1を一枚ずつ通過させることができる間隙を移送手段3との間に設けるように、移送手段3の上方に配置され、図2において反時計回り(送り方向と逆方向)に回転することにより、上に重なった余分な遊技媒体1を排除して、一枚を越える余分な遊技媒体1を無端ベルト3aの後端側に戻すようになっている。   Further, on the rotating roller 3b side of the medal transfer means 3, a circular radial alignment brush 3d is provided on the upper side of the endless belt 3a so as to remove the excess game medium 1 that is superimposed on the tip of the brush while rotating. ing. That is, the alignment brush 3d is disposed above the transfer means 3 so as to provide a gap through which the game media 1 can be passed one by one with the transfer means 3, and is counterclockwise in FIG. By rotating in the direction opposite to the direction), the excess game media 1 superimposed on the upper side is eliminated, and the excess game media 1 exceeding one is returned to the rear end side of the endless belt 3a.

この整列ブラシ3dの後流側は、仕切り板2cで覆われるとともに、その下側には整列ブラシ3dの下を一枚ずつ通過する遊技媒体1を研磨機対4に案内するためのガイド2dが設けられている。   The downstream side of the alignment brush 3d is covered with a partition plate 2c, and a guide 2d for guiding the game media 1 passing under the alignment brush 3d one by one to the polishing machine pair 4 is provided below the partition plate 2c.

上記研磨機対4は、一方の研磨機5と、他方の研磨機6とを有しており、これら研磨機対4の一方の研磨機5と他方の研磨機6とは、一方の研磨機5の研磨部材5aと他方の研磨機6の研磨部材6aとの間に遊技媒体1を挟持して搬送しながら遊技媒体1を水などの洗浄液を用いないで研磨するようになっている。   The polishing machine pair 4 has one polishing machine 5 and the other polishing machine 6, and one polishing machine 5 and the other polishing machine 6 of the polishing machine pair 4 are one polishing machine. The game medium 1 is polished without using a cleaning liquid such as water while the game medium 1 is sandwiched and conveyed between the polishing member 5a of the fifth polishing member 6a and the polishing member 6a of the other polishing machine 6.

ここで、一方の研磨機5は、外周に乾式の研磨部材5aとして研磨ブラシが設けられた回転ローラーで構成され、この研磨部材5aが所定の周速度で周回駆動される。   Here, one polishing machine 5 is constituted by a rotating roller provided with a polishing brush as a dry polishing member 5a on the outer periphery, and this polishing member 5a is driven to rotate at a predetermined peripheral speed.

The polishing is alternately performed by the other fast polishing machine 6.

さらに、3つの研磨機対4の間には、遊技媒体1を一方の研磨機5と他方の研磨機6との間に案内するためのガイド4aがそれぞれ一対ずつ計2対設けられている。   Further, two pairs of guides 4 a for guiding the game medium 1 between the one polishing machine 5 and the other polishing machine 6 are provided between the three polishing machine pairs 4.

なお、上記研磨部材5a、6aは、研磨機5、6に対して着脱自在に軸支されるローラー軸の外周に研磨ブラシが固定されたものであり、このローラー軸を介して研磨機5、6から動力を受けて回転駆動される。そして、この研磨部材5a、6aは、全体が、耐水性材料あるいは耐溶剤性材料で構成され、例えば研磨部材5a、6aが汚れたり、磨耗したり、損傷したりした場合には、研磨部材5a、6aを水あるいは溶剤で洗浄するなどのメンテナンスをしたり、あるいは取り替えたりして、遊技媒体1の表面を常に良好な状態に維持することができるように構成されている。   The polishing members 5a, 6a have a polishing brush fixed to the outer periphery of a roller shaft that is detachably supported with respect to the polishing machines 5, 6, and the polishing machine 5, 6 is rotated by receiving power from 6. The polishing members 5a and 6a are entirely made of a water-resistant material or a solvent-resistant material. For example, when the polishing members 5a and 6a are soiled, worn, or damaged, the polishing member 5a The surface of the game medium 1 can always be kept in a good state by performing maintenance such as washing with water or a solvent, or replacing it.

ここで、図3を参照して、回転ローラ3bと、整列ブラシ3dと、各研磨機対4の研磨機5、6とを駆動させる駆動機構7について説明する。   Here, with reference to FIG. 3, the drive mechanism 7 which drives the rotating roller 3b, the alignment brush 3d, and the polishing machines 5 and 6 of each polishing machine pair 4 will be described.

図3は、遊技媒体研磨装置10の内部の構成を駆動側から(図2を裏側から)見た概念図であり、遊技媒体1は、図3において、左から右へと移送される。   FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram of the internal structure of the game medium polishing apparatus 10 as viewed from the drive side (FIG. 2 from the back side). The game medium 1 is transferred from left to right in FIG.

上記駆動機構7は、駆動モータ7aと、ベルト7bとを備えており、駆動モータ7aに設けられた駆動歯車7cが、時計周りに回転することにより、ベルト7bを介して、回転ローラ3b(図2)の歯車3eと整列ブラシ3d(図2)の歯車3fとが図3において時計周りに回転するように構成されている。   The drive mechanism 7 includes a drive motor 7a and a belt 7b. When a drive gear 7c provided on the drive motor 7a rotates clockwise, the rotation roller 3b (see FIG. The gear 3e of 2) and the gear 3f of the alignment brush 3d (FIG. 2) are configured to rotate clockwise in FIG.

そして、回転ローラ3b(図2)が、図2において反時計周りに回転することにより、他方の回転ローラ3c(図2)が、無端ベルト3a(図2)を介して図2において反時計周りに回転する。   Then, when the rotating roller 3b (FIG. 2) rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 2, the other rotating roller 3c (FIG. 2) rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 2 via the endless belt 3a (FIG. 2). Rotate to.

また、歯車3eが図3において時計周りに回転することにより、歯車3eに同心に固定された歯車3gを介して研磨機対4(対A)の一方の研磨機5(図2)の歯車5b(A)が反時計周りに、他方の研磨機6の歯車6b(A)が時計周りに回転する。   Further, when the gear 3e rotates clockwise in FIG. 3, the gear 5b of one polishing machine 5 (FIG. 2) of the polishing machine pair 4 (pair A) is connected via a gear 3g concentrically fixed to the gear 3e. (A) rotates counterclockwise, and the gear 6b (A) of the other polishing machine 6 rotates clockwise.

そして、歯車5b(A)が図3において反時計周りに回転することにより、研磨機対4(対B)の一方の研磨機5の歯車5b(B)が時計周りに、他方の研磨機6の歯車6b(B)が反時計周りに回転する。   Then, when the gear 5b (A) rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 3, the gear 5b (B) of one of the polishing machines 5 of the pair of polishing machines 4 (pair B) rotates clockwise, and the other polishing machine 6 The gear 6b (B) of the gear rotates counterclockwise.

また、研磨機対4(対B)の一方の研磨機5の歯車5b(B)が図3において時計周りに回転することにより、研磨機対4(対C)の一方の研磨機5の歯車5b(C)が反時計周りに、他方の研磨機6の歯車6b(C)が時計周りに回転する。   Further, the gear 5b (B) of one of the polishing machines 5 of the pair of polishing machines 4 (pair B) rotates clockwise in FIG. 3, so that the gear of one of the polishing machines 5 of the pair of polishing machines 4 (pair C) is rotated. 5b (C) rotates counterclockwise, and the gear 6b (C) of the other polishing machine 6 rotates clockwise.

なお、対A、対B、対Cのいずれの対においても歯車5bの方が歯車6bより大径であるので、歯車5bの回転数が歯車6bの回転数より少なくなる。また、一方の研磨機5の研磨部材5aと他方の研磨機6の研磨部材6aとは、略同径であるので、その結果、一方の研磨機5の研磨部材5aの方が、他方の研磨機6の研磨部材6aより周速度が遅くなる。   In any of the pair A, the pair B, and the pair C, the gear 5b has a larger diameter than the gear 6b. Therefore, the rotational speed of the gear 5b is smaller than the rotational speed of the gear 6b. Further, since the polishing member 5a of one polishing machine 5 and the polishing member 6a of the other polishing machine 6 have substantially the same diameter, as a result, the polishing member 5a of one polishing machine 5 is the other polishing machine. The peripheral speed is slower than the polishing member 6a of the machine 6.

次に図4〜図7を参照して、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る遊技媒体研磨装置10の作用について説明する。   Next, with reference to FIGS. 4-7, the effect | action of the game media grinding | polishing apparatus 10 which concerns on the 1st Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.

図4は、遊技媒体1の受け入れの状態を示す説明図であり、図5は、整列ブラシ3dによる、遊技媒体1の整列の状態を示す説明図である。また、図6は、研磨機対4による研磨の状態を示す説明図であり、図7は、遊技媒体1が、研磨機対4の排出の状態を示す説明図である。   FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing a state in which the game media 1 is received, and FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing a state in which the game media 1 are aligned by the alignment brush 3d. FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing a state of polishing by the polishing machine pair 4, and FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing a state in which the game medium 1 is discharged from the polishing machine pair 4.

図4に示すように、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る遊技媒体研磨装置10においては、図示のように、投入された遊技媒体1は、本体2の傾斜板2aを滑るようにしてメダル移送手段3に与えられる。   As shown in FIG. 4, in the game medium polishing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the figure, the inserted game medium 1 slides on the inclined plate 2a of the main body 2 so that the medal It is given to the transfer means 3.

また、図5に示すように、メダル移送手段3に与えられた遊技媒体1は、無端ベルト3a上を搬送されていく過程で、整列ブラシ3dにより、1枚ずつに分離され、研磨機対4に供給される。   Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the game medium 1 given to the medal transfer means 3 is separated one by one by the alignment brush 3d in the process of being conveyed on the endless belt 3a, and the pair of grinders 4 To be supplied.

そして、図6に示すように、研磨機対4の一方の研磨機5と他方の研磨機6との間に噛込まれた遊技媒体1が、研磨部材5a、6aにより研磨され、遊技媒体1に付着している汚れが掻き落とされる。   Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the game medium 1 that is caught between one polishing machine 5 of the polishing machine pair 4 and the other polishing machine 6 is polished by the polishing members 5 a and 6 a, and the game medium 1 The dirt adhering to is scraped off.

また、図7に示すように、研磨された遊技媒体1は、研磨機対4から排出された後、案内部材4bを介して本体2の内部に設けたシュータ2hを通って下方に設けられた図略の遊技媒体タンクに回収される。   Also, as shown in FIG. 7, the ground game medium 1 was discharged from the polishing machine pair 4 and then provided below through the shooter 2h provided inside the main body 2 via the guide member 4b. It is collected in a game medium tank (not shown).

以上説明したように、本発明の実施の形態に係る遊技媒体研磨装置10によれば、乾式の研磨部材5aと研磨部材6aとの間に遊技媒体1を挟持して研磨するので、水などの洗浄液を必要としない結果、漏水対策を施す必要がなく、装置全体構造の簡素化と製造コストの低減を図ることができる遊技媒体研磨装置10を実現することができる。   As described above, according to the game medium polishing apparatus 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the game medium 1 is sandwiched between the dry polishing member 5a and the polishing member 6a and polished, As a result of not requiring the cleaning liquid, it is not necessary to take measures against water leakage, and it is possible to realize the game medium polishing apparatus 10 capable of simplifying the overall structure of the apparatus and reducing the manufacturing cost.

また、このように遊技媒体1の研磨に際して洗浄液を必要としないので、洗浄液を取り替えるような煩わしい作業が不要となる結果、装置のメンテナンスが容易になる。   Further, since the cleaning liquid is not required for polishing the game medium 1 as described above, the troublesome work of replacing the cleaning liquid becomes unnecessary, and the maintenance of the apparatus is facilitated.

さらに、研磨機対4が遊技媒体1を挟持して搬送する際、一方の研磨機5と他方の研磨機6との周速度が異なるために、遊技媒体1は、これらの周速度の中間の速度で駆動されることになる。その結果、一方の研磨機5の研磨部材5aと他方の研磨機6の研磨部材6aとが、それぞれ遊技媒体1に対して相対的な運動をすることになり、遊技媒体1は、それぞれの研磨機から摩擦力を受け、研磨される。このように、本遊技媒体研磨装置10によれば、遊技媒体1をスムースに搬送しながら、しかも遊技媒体1の両方の側を確実に研磨することができるようになる。   Further, when the polishing machine pair 4 sandwiches and conveys the game medium 1, the peripheral speeds of the one polishing machine 5 and the other polishing machine 6 are different, so that the game medium 1 is intermediate between these peripheral speeds. Driven at speed. As a result, the polishing member 5a of one polishing machine 5 and the polishing member 6a of the other polishing machine 6 move relative to the game medium 1, respectively. Polished by receiving frictional force from the machine. As described above, according to the game medium polishing apparatus 10, it is possible to reliably polish both sides of the game medium 1 while transporting the game medium 1 smoothly.

また、遊技媒体研磨装置10によれば、研磨部材5aに備えられた研磨ブラシにより、遊技媒体1の表面に凹凸があってもむらなく研磨をすることができるようになる。また、遊技媒体1の表面を傷つけることを防止することができる。   Further, according to the game medium polishing apparatus 10, the polishing brush provided in the polishing member 5a can polish evenly even if the surface of the game medium 1 is uneven. Further, it is possible to prevent the surface of the game medium 1 from being damaged.

さらに、研磨機対4の研磨機が、それぞれ回転ローラで構成されるので、従来の回転駆動装置や搬送の技術を適用することが可能になる結果、構造が簡単で安価な装置とすることができるようになる。   Further, since the polishing machines of the pair of polishing machines 4 are each composed of a rotating roller, it is possible to apply a conventional rotational driving device and a conveyance technique, and as a result, the structure can be made simple and inexpensive. become able to.

そして、遊技媒体1のそれぞれの側が、周速度の遅い一方の研磨機5と周速度の速い他方の研磨機6とにより交互に研磨される結果、遊技媒体1の表面をむらなく研磨することができるようになる。   Then, each side of the game medium 1 is alternately polished by the one polishing machine 5 having a low peripheral speed and the other polishing machine 6 having a high peripheral speed, so that the surface of the game medium 1 can be uniformly polished. become able to.

次に、図8と図9とを参照して、本発明の第2の実施形態に係る遊技媒体研磨装置20について詳述する。図8は第2の実施形態に係る遊技媒体研磨装置20の構成を示す説明図であり、図9は、遊技媒体研磨装置20の研磨機25、26の構成を示す説明図である。なお、第1の実施形態に係る遊技媒体研磨装置10と同様の構成については同じ符号を付し、説明の重複を避けるものとする。   Next, with reference to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the game media grinding | polishing apparatus 20 which concerns on the 2nd Embodiment of this invention is explained in full detail. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration of the game medium polishing apparatus 20 according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration of the polishing machines 25 and 26 of the game medium polishing apparatus 20. In addition, the same code | symbol shall be attached | subjected about the structure similar to the game media grinding | polishing apparatus 10 which concerns on 1st Embodiment, and the duplication of description shall be avoided.

図8と図9とを参照して、図示の本発明の第2の実施形態に係る遊技媒体研磨装置20においては、研磨機対24は、一方の研磨機25と、他方の研磨機26とを有しており、これら研磨機対24の一方の研磨機25と他方の研磨機26とは、一方の研磨機25の研磨部材25aと他方の研磨機26の研磨部材26aとの間に遊技媒体1を挟持して搬送しながら遊技媒体1を水などの洗浄液を用いないで研磨するようになっている。   With reference to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, in the illustrated game medium polishing apparatus 20 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the polishing machine pair 24 includes one polishing machine 25 and the other polishing machine 26. One polishing machine 25 and the other polishing machine 26 of the pair of polishing machines 24 have a game between a polishing member 25a of one polishing machine 25 and a polishing member 26a of the other polishing machine 26. The game medium 1 is polished without using a cleaning liquid such as water while sandwiching and transporting the medium 1.

ここで、一方の研磨機25は、ローラー軸25bの外周に乾式の研磨部材25aとして粘着部材25c(図9)が設けられた回転ローラーを備えており、この研磨部材25aが所定の周速度で周回駆動される。   Here, one polishing machine 25 includes a rotating roller provided with an adhesive member 25c (FIG. 9) as a dry polishing member 25a on the outer periphery of the roller shaft 25b, and this polishing member 25a is at a predetermined peripheral speed. It is driven around.

また、他方の研磨機26も、一方の研磨機25と同様にローラー軸26bの外周に乾式の研磨部材26aとして粘着部材26c(図9)が設けられた回転ローラーを備えており、この研磨部材26aが、第1の実施形態に係る遊技媒体研磨装置10と同様に、一方の研磨機25に設定された周速度より速い周速度で周回駆動される。   The other polishing machine 26 also includes a rotating roller provided with an adhesive member 26c (FIG. 9) as a dry-type polishing member 26a on the outer periphery of the roller shaft 26b, similar to the one polishing machine 25. Similarly to the game medium polishing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment, 26a is driven to rotate at a peripheral speed faster than the peripheral speed set in one of the polishing machines 25.

なお、上記研磨部材25a、26aは、研磨機25、26に対して着脱自在に軸支されるローラー軸25b、26bの外周に粘着部材25c、26cが固定されたものであり、このローラー軸25b、26bを介して研磨機25、26から動力を受けて回転駆動される。そして、この研磨部材25a、26aは、全体が、耐水性材料あるいは耐溶剤性材料で構成されている。   The polishing members 25a and 26a are obtained by fixing adhesive members 25c and 26c to the outer periphery of roller shafts 25b and 26b that are detachably supported with respect to the polishing machines 25 and 26. The roller shaft 25b , 26b, and is driven to rotate by receiving power from the polishing machines 25, 26. The polishing members 25a and 26a are entirely made of a water resistant material or a solvent resistant material.

このうち、上記粘着部材25c、26cは弾力性と粘着性とを兼ね備えたシリコンゴムで構成されており、このシリコンゴムの粘着力で遊技媒体1の両面の汚れを吸着して取り除くようになっている。   Among these, the adhesive members 25c and 26c are made of silicon rubber having both elasticity and adhesiveness, and dirt on both sides of the game medium 1 is adsorbed and removed by the adhesive force of the silicon rubber. Yes.

このように、遊技媒体研磨装置20によれば研磨部材25a、26aが、研磨機25、26に対して着脱自在に設けられているので、例えば研磨部材25a、26aが汚れたり、磨耗したり、損傷したりした場合には、研磨部材25a、26aをメンテナンスしたり取り替えたりすることができる結果、遊技媒体の表面を常に良好な状態に維持することができるようになる。   As described above, according to the game medium polishing apparatus 20, the polishing members 25a and 26a are detachably attached to the polishing machines 25 and 26. For example, the polishing members 25a and 26a become dirty or worn. In the case of damage, the polishing members 25a and 26a can be maintained or replaced. As a result, the surface of the game medium can always be maintained in a good state.

特に、研磨部材25a、26aが、研磨機25、26に対して着脱自在に軸支されるローラー軸25b、26bの外周に粘着部材25c、26cが固定されたものであり、このローラー軸25b、26bを介して研磨機25、26から動力を受けて回転駆動されるので、研磨部材25a、26aの回転駆動、研磨機25、26に対する着脱およびメンテナンスが容易で取り扱いやすい遊技媒体研磨装置を実現することができる。   Particularly, the adhesive members 25c and 26c are fixed to the outer periphery of the roller shafts 25b and 26b that are detachably supported on the polishing machines 25 and 26 by the polishing members 25a and 26a. Since it is rotationally driven in response to power from the polishing machines 25 and 26 via 26b, a game medium polishing apparatus is realized that is easy to handle because it is easy to rotate and drive the polishing members 25a and 26a, attach and detach to and from the polishing machines 25 and 26, and maintain. be able to.

さらに、研磨部材25a、26aが、耐水性材料あるいは耐溶剤性材料からなるので、研磨部材25a、26aを水あるいは溶剤で洗浄してその汚れを取り除くことができるようになる。   Further, since the polishing members 25a and 26a are made of a water resistant material or a solvent resistant material, the dirt can be removed by washing the polishing members 25a and 26a with water or a solvent.

特に、粘着部材25c、26cがシリコンゴムからなるので、遊技媒体1の汚れをより効果的に吸着させることができる。また、シリコンゴムは、水その他の溶剤で容易に洗浄することができるだけでなく繰り返し再使用することができるので、経済的に遊技媒体1の汚れを取り除くことができる。   In particular, since the adhesive members 25c and 26c are made of silicon rubber, dirt on the game medium 1 can be more effectively adsorbed. In addition, since the silicon rubber can be easily washed with water and other solvents and can be reused repeatedly, it is possible to economically remove the dirt on the game medium 1.

このように、遊技媒体研磨装置20によれば、研磨機対24の研磨機25、26の研磨部材25a、26aが、それぞれ粘着部材25c、26cを備えているので、遊技媒体1の汚れを粘着部材25c、26cに集中的に吸着させることができる結果、この粘着部材25c、26cを取り替えたり洗浄したりするだけで遊技媒体1の汚れを回収することができる。   As described above, according to the game medium polishing apparatus 20, the polishing members 25a and 26a of the polishing machines 25 and 26 of the polishing machine pair 24 include the adhesive members 25c and 26c, respectively. As a result of being able to concentrate on the members 25c and 26c, the dirt of the game medium 1 can be recovered simply by replacing or cleaning the adhesive members 25c and 26c.
