Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial field of application The invention is a gaming machine in which a number of coin-operated pachinko machines are installed side by side, where coins are inserted, a predetermined game is played, and coins corresponding to points are ejected after the game is over. This invention relates to a device for removing all the coins from a coin-operated game machine such as a coin-operated game machine.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY In gaming parlors, prize coins that are inserted into a coin slot by a player or replenished and stored in a storage container are stored in a storage container after the player returns.
All the coins are removed from the coin-operated game machine, transported by a coin transport device, polished by a coin polishing machine and stored in a pool, transported by a coin transport device, and then transported by a coin supply device for a fixed number of coins. , it is desirable to perform a task of supplying a certain number of coins to the coin storage container.

By the way, a metal storage cylinder is provided below the discharge metal storage cylinder via a take-out plate, and a metal pull-out plate is provided below the metal storage cylinder, so that the metal corresponding to the score is stored in the metal storage cylinder and the switch is activated. Each time you press the button, a piece of metal at the bottom of the metal storage tube is pulled out, allowing you to start the game.When the game is finished, pressing the button opens the metal support plate provided below the pull-out plate, allowing you to store the metal. A centralized control system for a metal game machine in which the metal inside the cylinder is discharged into a saucer has been proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 141049/1983. However, this product is not equipped with a device to extract all the metal in the metal storage cylinder for discharge, and the metal in the metal storage cylinder for discharge remains after the business has ended, and the metal must be polished or polished. It has the disadvantage that it cannot perform the following tasks.

The purpose of this invention is to be able to automatically extract all coins from a coin game machine such as a coin-operated pachinko machine to a coin transport device with a single command from the control room, and to perform coin polishing, etc. To provide a coin extraction device for a coin game machine that can perform work quickly without omission.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned problems, the coin extraction device for a coin-operated game machine of the present invention has a single coin storage container that is connected to a coin conveying device and has an on-off valve in its discharge section. A coin discharge gutter for discharging prize coins into a tray and a coin extraction gutter for extracting all the coins in the coin storage container to the coin transport device are provided downstream of the on-off valve, and the on-off valve is connected to the control room. It has a configuration characterized in that it is selectively communicated with the coin discharge gutter and the coin extraction gutter in response to a command signal.

Function When discharging prize coins, the coin storage container is communicated with the coin discharging gutter, and an appropriate number of coins are discharged into the tray according to the score. Also, when the business is closed,
The on-off valve is switched by a command signal from the control room, etc., the coin storage container is communicated with the coin extraction gutter, and all the coins in the coin storage container are discharged to a conveying device and transferred to an appropriate work device such as a coin polisher. carried.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In Figures 1 and 2, the extraction gutter 1 is installed in parallel with the coin ejection gutter 3 at the bottom of the storage tube 2, which serves as a single coin storage container of the coin-operated game machine. A coin shortage detector 4 is provided to notify the shortage. Further, a discharge slide plate 5 is provided downstream of the storage cylinder 2 and communicates with the solenoid 22 of the coin discharge device 6 via a link piece 7. The discharge slide plate 5 is provided with a hole 8 through which a coin can pass. Below the discharge slide plate 5, a pull-out slide plate 9, which serves as an on-off valve and has a hole 8' through which a coin can pass, is provided downstream of the storage cylinder 2, and is managed via a link piece 7. It is electrically connected to the chamber 23 and communicates with a solenoid 24 of the coin extracting device 10 to selectively communicate with the coin ejecting trough 3 and the coin extracting device 10 according to its command signal.
The extraction gutter 1 communicates with an overflow gutter 11.

In addition, in the figure, 21 is the payment button, 26 is the target, 27 is the coin rail, 28 is the return slot, 2
9 is a return button, 30 is a coin sorter, 31 is a coin slot, 32 is a receiving gutter, 33 is a control device, 34
35 is the front frame, 35 is the supply gutter, 36 is the coin constant supply device, 37 is the matrix, 38 is the game section, 39
4 is a score display, 40 is a collecting gutter, 41 is a batted ball supply device, 42 is a firing handle, 43 is a conveyor that is the first coin transport device connected downstream of the storage cylinder 2, and 44 is an intermediate coin transport device. 45 is a lifting device serving as a second coin transporting device, 46 is a pool portion provided in the middle of the coin transporting device, and 47 is a receiving tray.

Next, its effect will be explained.

When the payment switch 21 is pressed when the game is over, the solenoid 22 of the coin ejecting device 6 is turned ON according to the game score at that time, and the link piece 7 pulls the ejecting slide plate 5. Align the drilled hole 8 with the coin discharge gutter 3,
The coin inserted into the hole 8 is dropped. Therefore, each time the solenoid 22 is turned ON, a coin is ejected by the coin ejecting device 6. To remove all coins from inside the machine, the solenoid 24 of the coin extraction device 10 is turned on in response to a command signal from the control room 23, and the extraction slide plate 9 is turned on.
is pulled, and the holes 8 and 8' formed in the storage cylinder 2, the discharge slide plate 5, and the extraction slide plate 9 are aligned with the coin extraction gutter 1, and the coins are dropped from the storage cylinder 2 at once and extracted. When all the coins in the storage tube 2 have been removed, the solenoid of the extraction device 10 is turned off to return to the original state.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment in which a hopper type discharge device 25 is used as the extraction device. That is, the upper part of the hopper 48, which serves as a coin storage container, is connected to a coin conveying device consisting of a coin rail 12 and is provided with an overflow gutter 13, and the lower part of the hopper 48 is provided with a delivery disk 15 rotated by a reduction motor 14. It connects to a coin discharge gutter 17 via a coin rail 16. An operating piece 18 serving as an on-off valve for opening and closing the communication part is provided at the communication part of the coin discharge gutter 17 in the coin rail 16. The coin rail 16 is also connected to the extraction trough 19 via the actuating piece 18.

Discharge coins one by one from 1. When all coins are to be removed from the hopper 11, the operating solenoid 20 is turned ON in response to a command signal from the control room 23, so that the actuating piece 18 closes the entrance of the coin ejecting gutter 17, and the coin rail 16 and extracting gutter 19 are
is connected so that the coin flows down into the extraction gutter 19, and the deceleration motor 14 rotates to extract the coin from the hopper 11 by the delivery disk 15.

Effects of the invention Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, by electrically communicating with the control room so that the on-off valve of the coin storage container can be operated remotely, the coin storage container can be opened and closed with a single command from the control room. All the coins in the machine can be easily and quickly extracted into the coin extraction gutter automatically. Therefore, the coin recovery work of the coin-operated game machine can be carried out without bothering the staff. By interposing the polisher in the conveyance path, the quality of the coins is kept constant and troubles such as coin jams in coin-operated game machines are prevented.
