When receiving the detection signal from the second light-receiving sensor 32, the coin identification unit 61 identifies the authenticity and type of the coin 5 that passes once, and transmits an identification signal.

The identification signal is received by the identification circuit unit 76, and pachinko balls corresponding to the amount are ejected from the lower mold 78, similar to the case where five banknotes are inserted.

The magnetic sensor 62.63 and the optical sensor 81.82 of the banknote identification section 85 are activated by the detection signal from the first light receiving sensor 31, and the coin identification section 61 is activated by the detection signal from the second light receiving sensor 32. , when either one is activated, the other is stopped, and the currency identification fil
The reliability of operation of o is guaranteed.

The coin identification unit 61 also sends a reverse rotation signal to the motor when an identification signal is not sent within a predetermined time during identification.

The motor rotates in reverse when it receives the reverse rotation signal.

For this reason, the upper belt 41, the lower belt 44, and the intermediate belt 48 each operate in reverse to send the inserted coins 5 or banknotes 4 from the coin identification section 61 to the coin insertion slot 11.

Further, when the second light receiving sensor 32 continues to transmit a detection signal for a predetermined time or more when identifying the coin identification unit 61, the motor receives a detection signal from the second light receiving sensor 32 for a predetermined time or more. and rotate in the opposite direction. Therefore, the upper belt 41 , the lower belt 44 , and the middle belt 48 operate in reverse, respectively, and send out the inserted coin 5 or banknote 4 from the coin identification section 61 to the coin insertion slot 11 .

In addition, as another embodiment, the first light receiving sensor 31 may not be provided and the second light receiving sensor 32 or the first light receiving sensor 31 may function. In this case, the detection signal from the second light receiving sensor 32 activates not only the coin identifying section 61 but also the magnetic sensors 62, 63 and optical sensors 81, 82 of the banknote identifying section 85.

In another embodiment, when the magnetic sensors 62, 63 and the optical sensors 81 and 82 of the banknote identification unit 85 receive detection signals from both the first light receiving sensor 31 and the second light receiving sensor 32, There may also be a device that identifies the authenticity of banknotes 4 and transmits an identification signal.

Alternatively, as another embodiment, the magnetic sensors 62 and 63 and optical sensors 81 and 82 of the banknote identification section 85 are
When receiving detection signals from both the first light-receiving sensor 31 and the second light-receiving sensor 32 within a certain period of time, the authenticity of the passing bill 4 may be identified and an identification signal may be transmitted.

In this case, when a banknote 4 with a torn lower part is inserted, first, after the first light receiving sensor 31 is activated, if the second light receiving sensor 32 is activated within a certain distance, the banknote identification unit 85 is activated. Magnetic sensor 62.63 and optical sensor 81.

On the other hand, if a banknote 4 with a torn upper part is inserted, first the second light receiving sensor 32 is activated and then the coin identification section 61 is activated, or if the first light receiving sensor 31 is activated within a certain period of time. There is a magnetic sensor 62 of the banknote identification section 85.
63 and optical sensors 81 and 82 identify the authenticity of one banknote 4. If a certain period of time has passed after the second light receiving sensor 32 is activated, the first light receiving sensor 31 is not activated, the magnetic sensor 62.63 and the optical sensor 81.82 of the banknote identification section 85 are also not activated, and the coin Only the identification section 61 will operate.

However, since the coin identification unit 61 cannot identify the authenticity of the banknote 4, it does not transmit the identification signal within the predetermined time, and therefore transmits a reverse rotation signal to the motor.

The motor rotates in reverse when it receives the reverse rotation signal.

As a result, the upper belt 41 , the lower belt 44 , and the middle belt 48 operate in reverse, respectively, and send out the inserted coins 5 or banknotes 4 from the coin identification section 61 to the coin insertion slot 11 .

Also,@! Even if the coin identification unit 61 is out of order, the motor continues to transmit detection signals for a predetermined period of time from the second light receiving sensor 32 when identifying the coin identification unit 61. It receives a detection signal from the second light receiving sensor 32 for a predetermined period of time and rotates in the reverse direction. Therefore, the L-side belt 41, the lower belt 44, and the middle belt 48 each operate in reverse to send out the inserted coins 5 or banknotes 4 from the coin recognition section 61 to the money slot 11.

Further, as another embodiment, the first light receiving sensor 31 or the second light receiving sensor 32 may be provided in the −L direction.

Further, as another embodiment, the first light receiving sensor 31 or the second light receiving sensor 32 may be provided in the F direction.
