Description

  The present invention relates to a medal treatment device having a temporary holding unit in medal processing such as a commercial medal game machine or a money changer.

  In a conventional medal game device, medals that have finished a game in the game field are collected on a medal hopper through a slope in the game machine, returned to the return box from the hopper, and conveyed to the player's hand. ing. In this hopper, surplus medals are stored in a storage box (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Similarly, in the medal game machine, medals that have fallen into the medal collection hole from the game field where the game is played are guided to the medal collection box through the guide and stocked. When this medal recovery box is full, medals overflowing from the medal recovery box are accumulated in the safe through the guide.
The medals stocked in the medal collection box are discharged to the game field by the hopper provided on the lower surface of the medal collection box, the medals in the hopper passing through the scooping bowl (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

In both cases, the medals fall from the cage and are temporarily stored in the hopper. The medals are discharged from the hopper as needed, and when the hopper is filled with medals and overflows, the spilled medals fall into the collection box. It has become.
JP 2001-137532 A (page 5, FIG. 2) JP-A-9-51988 (7th page, FIG. 8)

  In either structure of Patent Document 1 or 2, the cage and hopper from which the medals fall are exposed, and the medals may jump out of the hopper when dropped or when the hopper is driven. The medal fell into the machine, causing a failure and causing the medal to not be managed accurately.

The medals are disk-shaped, and unlike liquids, a lot of medals pile up in various directions in the hopper to build a mountain, and the mountain is stirred by driving the hopper, so the mountain collapses and becomes gentle However, the hopper is not always driven, and the stacked portion where the medals are stacked is not necessarily smooth, and the falling medals jump out of the hopper.
Also, when replenishing medals to the hopper, the opening of the hopper is small, and it may spill out of the hopper, making it difficult to insert medals.

The reason for the medals jumping out of the hopper is that the medals accumulate too much in the hopper, and the medals bounce off the impact of the falling medals before the accumulated medals flow into the medal collection box, and the medals jump out of the hopper. It's a mess.
For this reason, medals flow out to the medal collection box before the hopper's medals overflow, but if medals do not flow out of the hopper into the medal collection box, a large amount of medals will be discharged from the hopper. When doing so, there is a risk of running out of medals in the hopper.

The surplus medals travel through a guide attached to the hopper and flow to a medal collection box such as a storage box or safe. At this time, the maximum number of medals is reserved within the range that does not apply extra load when the hopper is driven. It is desirable to flow to the storage box or safe only when it occurs. Otherwise, if a large amount of medals are ejected when the hopper is driven, there may be a shortage of medals, and each time a clerk needs to replenish the hopper with medals. In order to solve this, it is necessary to determine the physical fall location of the medal when dropping the medal on the hopper.
Unfortunately, in the above-mentioned patent document, the design is not considered so far, and when the medals jump out of the hopper or when the hopper is driven to pay out medals, there are not enough medals, The frequency of calling and collecting medals from the medal collection box to the hopper was not low.

  The purpose of the present application is that in an elevator hopper, medals flowing into the hopper do not jump out, and even when medals are ejected by driving the hopper, they do not jump out, and the hopper is full. An object is to obtain a medal processing device in which medals do not flow into the medal collection box before being added, and the hopper can be easily replenished with medals and further prevent foreign matters from being mixed.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention is configured such that the collected medals flow into the hopper through the inflow trough, and the medals are held in the holding portion of the hopper, and are held in the hopper as necessary. When the medals are discharged and the holding portion of the hopper exceeds a predetermined amount, the medal processing device has an overflowing medal discharge basket that flows into the medal recovery box.
And an opening provided in an upper portion of the hopper and a funnel-shaped receiving portion provided in the opening of the hopper, the funnel-shaped receiving portion having an airtight structure and an inflow rod through which the collected medals flow in the funnel-shaped receiving portion. In order to guide the fall position of the medals flowing in from the inflow tub, which is the recovery tub, to the predetermined drop location in the hopper, the medals flowing from the inflow basin overflow the medal discharge basin. The medal device is provided with an inclined structure including an inclined surface and an inclined floor for guiding the dropped medal to a position where a pile of dropped medals is formed near the front.

With the above configuration, when a medal flows into the funnel-shaped receiving part of the hopper, the medal falls to a predetermined place of the hopper, and the dropped medals are stacked at a predetermined dropping position, and the medal is unnecessarily overflowed. There is no efficient medal hold.

Further, in order to solve the above-mentioned object, in the present invention, the collected medals flow into the hopper through the inflow tub which is the collection tub, and the medals are held in the holding portion of the hopper, as necessary. In the medal processing device having an overflow medal discharge basket that flows into the medal recovery box when the medal held in the hopper is discharged and the holding portion of the hopper exceeds a predetermined amount,
An opening provided in an upper portion of the hopper, and a funnel-shaped receiving portion provided in the opening of the hopper, and a rear side of the funnel-shaped receiving portion is aligned with a lateral width of the opening to be an upper portion of the funnel-shaped receiving portion. An overhanging wall overhanging the back side of
An inclined surface inclined from the lower side of the overhanging wall toward the opening, an inclined floor that obliquely intersects from the upper side of the inclined surface to the lower side of the inclined surface, the overhanging wall, and the inclined A vertical wall formed on substantially the same plane as the other side surface of the opening provided on the other side of the surface, and a wall surface formed by a surface in which the rear surface of the opening intersecting with the inclined floor extends upward as it is. The inflow trough is provided with an inclination in the funnel-shaped receiving portion along the inclined floor, and an outlet of the inflow trough is positioned above both the opening and the inclined floor ; did.

By setting it as the said structure, when a medal flows in into the funnel-shaped receptacle of a hopper through an inflow rod, a medal can be disperse | distributed and dropped in a hopper.

Furthermore, in order to solve the above-mentioned object, in the present invention, in the above invention, the hopper retaining portion is provided with a lid, and the lid has a hopper retaining portion having a lock mechanism that can be fixed to the hopper retaining portion. The medal processing device is provided.

  With the above configuration, the lid restricts the medal from jumping to the outside of the hopper when it falls in the hopper, and the medal can be prevented from being accidentally jumped out.

Furthermore, in order to solve the above-mentioned object, in the present invention, the hopper retaining portion is a medal processing device having a structure in which a resin is vacuum-formed.
With the above configuration, manufacturing is easier than in the case of manufacturing with sheet metal, which is suitable for mass production.

By adopting the above configuration, the medal of the medal processing device can be prevented from jumping out of the hopper and having foreign matter mixed in from outside because the hopper holding portion is hermetically sealed. it can.
Furthermore, the medals dropping position in the hopper is placed at a position where it can be driven efficiently when the hopper is driven, and the maximum number of medals can be held, that is, a pile of stacked medals of falling medals is built up so that excess medals are not washed away And can minimize the emptying of medals in the hopper.
Furthermore, even when medals need to be replenished, the upper part of the hopper holding part is widened like a funnel, so that the clerk can easily replenish without spilling outside when replenishing medals.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a medal device such as a medal game machine or a money changer according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Here, the medal or coin is a metal disk and is used as a term including coins.

FIG. 2 is a front view showing the internal mechanism. FIG. 3 is a right side view showing the internal structure. FIG. 4 is a front exploded perspective view of the medal device portion, and FIG. 5 is a rear exploded perspective view of the same.
As a medal game machine, genres such as a slot machine, a card game, a roulette game, a horse racing game, and a bingo game are generally used. In the above-mentioned various games performed in a main casing (not shown), the player predicts the game by inserting individual medals and operating the operation unit, and a satellite casing in which medals are paid out according to the result of winning or losing. The body is described below.

  First, as shown in FIG. 1, the top plate 1 of the satellite housing 100 has a monitor 2 and an operation unit 3 on the left side, a lighting display unit 4 on the monitor, and a medal processing device 10 on the right side of the top plate 1. A medal ball 20 and a medal slot 30 are provided. Here, the medal ball 20 has an opening area where a plurality of medals can be taken out in a lump, and is a medal take-out port for taking out medals obtained and paid out by game play. The medal slot 30 has an opening width equal to one or more and less than two medal thickness dimensions, and has a substantially U-shaped groove 31 from the front side, and a plurality of medals are placed in the U-shaped groove 31. It is possible to continuously insert medals into the medal insertion slot 30 by pushing them side by side toward the medal insertion slot 30. A coin selector 32 is provided below the medal slot 30. The coin selector 32 selects a regular medal falling from the medal slot 30 and a defective medal (different medals). 32a has a function of sequentially counting the number of inserted sheets.

The medal determined as a defective medal by the coin selector 32 can be dropped through the discharge basket 33 into the discharge box 40 provided in the return port 6 of the door 5 on the front surface of the housing and taken out from the return port 6 by hand.
Further, the front center of the floor of the housing 100 may escalator type hopper 50 for dispensing, the medals that have been determined by the coin selector 32 to the normal medal through prismatic times Osamutoi 34, on the hopper 51 It slides down to the funnel-shaped receiving part 60 wider than the horizontal frontage of the hopper attached to.

Then, the medal slipped down to the funnel-shaped receiving part 60 slides down the back slope of the funnel-shaped receiving part and falls to the hopper 51.
As shown in FIG. 5, a lid 70 is attached to the funnel-shaped receiving portion 60, and is attached to the funnel-shaped receiving portion 60 by a lock portion 71 and a hooking portion 72.
In the escalator hopper 50, when the amount of the appropriate medal is exceeded, the overflowing medal is poured into the left medal collection box 37 through the sink rod 36 provided in the funnel-shaped receiving unit 60.

  Here, the escalator hopper 50 is an escalator hopper for general medal payout, which has a function of paying out a set number of medals from the hopper 51 and counting the payout number as a “payout number”. The medal payout flat pipe 55 has an internal passage substantially the same width as the medal diameter and substantially the same as the medal thickness, and the medal is pushed into the internal passage and moves. The medal payout flat pipe 55 forms a gentle curve from the center of the right side of the medal payout device 52 and extends upward in the form of a giraffe neck, and the face of the giraffe faces upward from the upper end of the standup path. Short horizontal passage 55 b is connected, and the tip of the horizontal passage is a discharge port 56.

  A coin sensor 57 is provided at the upper end corner of the standing passage 55a. When the passage of medals in the medal payout passage is detected, if not detected, the hopper motor 52a is stopped. Medal clogging can be prevented.

  L-shaped brackets 58 are attached to the right and left of the front end of the horizontal passage 55b at right angles to the horizontal passage 55b, and a guide portion 80 made of hard resin is screwed to the bracket 58 from the guide portion side to the discharge port 56. .

Figure 6 shows the A-A sectional view of FIG. 3 in which a medal trough the escalator type hopper and funnel-like sockets, FIG. 7 shows a perspective view without the collection trough from the escalator type hopper and funnel-like sockets, FIG. 8 is a perspective view from the back side of FIG.
The planar shape of the opening 53 at the top of the hopper 51 is rectangular, and a U-shaped bracket 35 along the back surface, the right surface, and the front surface of the hand is screwed into the opening 53, and the funnel-shaped receiving portion 60 is interposed via the bracket 35. The lower side is screwed. Thereby, the funnel-shaped receiving part 60 is connected and fixed to the hopper 51.
The lower side of the funnel-shaped receiving part 60 is the depth width of the hopper opening 53, and the left and right widths are vertical walls 61 projecting to the left while maintaining the depth width of the hopper opening 53.

The upper part of the front side 62 of the funnel-shaped receiving part is an overhanging wall 62a that vertically matches the width of the opening 53 of the hopper and extends vertically toward the front side, and is inclined from the lower side of the overhanging wall 62a toward the opening 53 of the horizontal frontage. The inclined surface 62b is formed. The left side of the overhanging wall 62a and the inclined surface 62b is composed of a trapezoidal vertical wall 62c that is a single roof that is substantially flush with the left side surface of the opening 53.
The rear side 63 of the funnel-shaped receiving part 60 is basically an overhanging wall 63a, an inclined surface 63b, and a trapezoidal vertical wall 63c at symmetrical positions with the overhanging wall 62a, the inclined surface 62b, and the trapezoidal vertical wall 62c on the near side. However, the right side of the back surface is a vertical wall 63d with the opening 53 extending upward as it is, and the inclined floor 63e along the collection basket 34 intersects.
The right side of the funnel-shaped receiving part 60 is a vertical wall 64 that extends vertically upward from the hopper opening 53 as it is, and a rectangular notch 65 in which a rectangular tube-shaped recovery rod 34 is located on the back side of the vertical wall. Is provided.

FIG. 3 shows the right side surface of the funnel-shaped receiving part 60, and a part of the medal payout flat pipe 55 is indicated by a dotted line. An enlarged view of the small circle is shown in the large circle. The notch 65 has a substantially one-third portion 34b1 located inside the opening 53 with respect to the position of the alternate long and short dash line where the back surface of the opening 53 of the hopper is extended right above, and the substantially two-third portion 34b2 is the inclined floor. The collection basket 34 positioned above 63e is a square tube sufficiently larger than the diameter of the medal M, and a regular medal from the coin selector falls in the collection basket. The collection basket 34 is attached to the funnel-shaped receiving part 60 with a downward slanting inclination with an elevation angle of approximately 30 degrees. A regular medal falls from the inlet 34a of the collection basket and slides down, and the medal M falls into the hopper from the outlet 34b opened at the lower part of the lid 70.
At this time, as shown in the enlarged circle of FIG. 3, the medal M1 dropped from the approximately one-third portion 34b1 on the front side (left side in the figure) of the recovery basket outlet 34b falls into the hopper as it is. The medal that has dropped from the approximately two-third portion 34b2 on the back side (right side in the drawing) of the collection basket 34b once slides down to the inclined floor 63e of the funnel-shaped receiving portion.

As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the medal that has fallen vigorously on the recovery basket 34 has a direction that slides down directly on the inclined surface 63b and slides down on the inclined surface 63b on the left side, and falls on the near side (hopper side). In addition, the falling direction of the medal is the left front direction, and the left center direction of the opening 53.
The inclined surface 63b and the inclined floor 63e obliquely intersect from the upper right of the inclined surface 63b to the lower left of the inclined surface, and the lower side of the intersection line L reaches a position P on the left side of the opening 53 of the hopper.

FIG. 9 explains the fall of the medal at the position P where the intersecting line L between the inclined surface on the back of the funnel-shaped receiving part and the inclined floor reaches, and specifies the falling position of the medal that falls at the position P where the intersecting line reaches It can be done.
For example, in (A), if the position P1 where the intersection line reaches is too far to the right, the medals falling into the hopper opening 53 will be shifted to the right, and if the hopper is not driven, the dropped medals will be stacked in various directions. The pile due to the stacked layers is located on the right side of the opening 53 of the hopper.
In (B), when the position P2 where the intersection line L reaches is set at the center of the opening, the mountain due to the stacking of dropped medals becomes the position closer to the center of the hopper. In either of these cases, a pile of medals is formed on the right side or in the center, and the outlet 34b of the recovery basket is clogged with the pile of medals. If this is the case, there is a risk that the medals will eventually reach the collection bag and become jammed or the medals may overflow.

In (C), the position P3 at which the intersection line L reaches is set to the left, and the piles of the dropped medals are shifted to the left. The ideal is to flow to the bowl 36 before the collection bowl outlet 34b is clogged to some extent. It becomes a typical fall position.
In (D), the position P4 at which the intersection line L reaches is too far to the left of the opening 53, and flows out from the sink 36 before collecting medals in the hopper and collects in the collection box 37. In this case, when a large number of medals are discharged from the hopper 51, there is a risk that the medals will be insufficient.

As described above, the inclined surface 63b of the funnel-shaped receiving portion and the inclined floor 63e are configured such that the position P where the intersection line L reaches leads the medal to the physically designated drop-off place of the hopper. As shown in the enlarged circle of FIG. 3, a majority of the falling medals slide on the inclined surface 63b and the inclined floor 63e when discharged from the opening 34b2 of the collecting basket 34, and these inclined surface 63b and inclined floor 63e. Are crossing diagonally, and the position P reaching the opening 53 of the hopper at the line of intersection L has reached the position on the left side of the opening 53, so that the dropped medal is on the left side of the opening and before reaching the sink 36. You can lead to the position to build a mountain.
And, if the outlet 34b of the recovery rod 34 falls from the approximately one-third portion 34b1 located inside the opening 53 to the position inside the opening 53, it falls into the hopper as it is. In this case, You can scatter medals and drop them to the center or to the right instead of to the left.

Infrequently, when a medal that jumps out of the recovery rod 34 and jumps to the left side collides with the trapezoidal vertical wall 63c, it bounces to the right side, jumps to the inclined surface at 63b, and falls into the opening. Become.
As described above, the medals dropped from the inner one-third portion 34b1 of the recovery rod opening 34b fall into the hopper as it is, and fall from the outer two-third portion 34b2 of the opening 34b. The medals are introduced to the left of the opening 53 through the inclined surface 36b and the inclined floor 36e of the funnel-shaped receiving portion, and a pile of medals is stacked. The medals falling from the areas 34b1 and 34b2 of both openings are collected in the hopper. A pile of gentle medals is built on the left side of the opening 53.

  The funnel-shaped receiving part 60 is formed by vacuum-molding ABS resin, and the intersections with the walls, the inclined surfaces, and the inclined floor are configured by attaching R to a small curved surface. This makes it easier to manufacture than sheet metal, and does not rust, does not contaminate the medal, and keeps the medal clean and free from dirt and the like.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the upper edge of the funnel-shaped receiving part 60 is provided with a horizontal hook part 60a except for the notch 65, and a short wall 60b is provided outside the hook part 60a. The lid body 70 is placed on the collar portion 60a.
FIG. 10 shows a rear perspective view of the lid. The lid body 70 is placed on the flange portion 60 a of the funnel-shaped receiving portion 60 to which the recovery rod 34 is attached, and is attached to the funnel-shaped receiving portion 60 by a lock portion 71 and a latching portion 72. The lock portion 71 is fitted into a rectangular hole 61 a provided at the left center of the funnel-shaped receiving portion 60.

Returning to FIG. 6, by turning the knob 71 a on the surface of the lid to rotate the lock mechanism 71 b, the locking piece 71 c attached to the back side of the lock mechanism is rotated and the rectangular hole 61 a of the funnel-shaped receiving portion 60 is rotated. It can be inserted and removed.
A loose fitting hole 64a is formed in the upper right center of the funnel-shaped receiving part. When the lid is attached to the funnel-shaped receiving part 60, a latching part 72 is provided at a position corresponding to the loose fitting hole 64a. The latching portion 72 has an L-shaped bracket 72a attached to the back of the lid, and the bracket 72a is provided with a latching rod 72b facing horizontally outward. As a result, the retaining rod 72b of the lid 70 is applied to the loose fitting hole 64a, the lid 70 is placed on the flange 60a of the funnel-shaped receiving portion, the knob 71a is rotated, and the latching piece 71c of the locking mechanism is The lid 70 can be attached to the funnel-shaped receiving portion 60 by fitting the rectangular hole 61a.

Here, the retaining rod 72b may be provided on the funnel-shaped receiving portion side, and the loose fitting hole 64a may be provided on the bracket side of the lid. The loose fitting hole 64a only needs to have a slight gap in the vertical direction. The lid body 70 is inclined, the edge of the lid body is applied to the intersection of the flange portion 60a and the short wall 60b, and the lid body is opened and closed. It is used when doing.
Although the latching portion 72 side of the lid 70 moves slightly upward due to the clearance of the loose fitting hole 64a, the lid 70 moves only within a range not exceeding the short wall 60b of the flange portion of the funnel-shaped receiving portion. The internal medals never leak to the outside.

Next, the work procedure when the hopper 51 pays out a large amount of medals toward the medal ball 20 and the medals in the hopper are exhausted will be described.
When the hopper 51 is empty, the medals that should be discharged to the medal ball 20 are not discharged. Therefore, the customer presses a call button (not shown) to call an attendant. The clerk opens the door 5 of the housing, turns the knob 71a of the lid 70 of the funnel-shaped receiving part to release the locking piece 71c, lifts the knob 71a, and removes the lid 70 from the funnel-shaped receiving part 60. Then, the collection box 37 is pulled out, and the overflowing medal in the collection box is poured from the vertical wall 62a spreading toward the front side of the funnel-shaped receiving part 60.

  The front side of the funnel-shaped receiving part is composed of a vertical wall 62a projecting toward the front side along the opening 53 of the hopper, an inclined surface 62b connected to the lower side, a trapezoidal vertical wall 62c, and the right side made of a vertical wall 64. Therefore, medals poured from above fall into the funnel-shaped receiving part and accumulate in the hopper 51. At this time, since the trapezoidal vertical wall 62c is provided at the front 62 of the funnel-shaped receiving portion, the medal does not flow out to the sink rod 36 side, and the hopper 51 can be replenished with the medal. As a result, when the medals are replenished, the upper part of the funnel-shaped receiving portion projects in a funnel shape toward the front, so that it is easy to replenish the medals and there is no spillage to the outside.

  When the replenishment of the medals is completed, the latching portion 72 of the lid body is fitted into the loose fitting hole 64a of the funnel-shaped receiving portion, the lid body 70 is placed in alignment with the flange portion 60a, and the knob 71a is turned to rotate the lock mechanism. The lid 70 is fixed to the funnel-shaped receiving portion 60 by fitting the locking piece 71c into the rectangular hole 61a of the funnel-shaped receiving portion. As a result, even if the medal jumps in the hopper and tries to jump out of the hopper, it hits the lid 70 and returns to the hopper.

In the above-described embodiment, the sink 36 for the overflow medal discharging position is provided on the left side of the funnel-shaped receiving portion. However, this position is not limited to this location, and may be provided on the front side of the funnel-shaped receiving portion. . The collection cage 34 and the sink rod 36 are separated from each other, and the medal dropping position is guided to a predetermined dropping position of the opening of the hopper by the introducing means during that time, and the hopper holds the maximum medal while the medal is held. It is a structure that finds the position where it is not clogged.
Although the above description has been given with the satellite of the medal game device raised, the application of the present application is not limited to the medal game machine but can be applied to a medal processing device such as a money changer.
