Abstract

PURPOSE:To accomplish a medal polishing machine which is free from risk of medal overflowing form a hopper or dropping onto the floor, by incorporating the polishing machine and a medal counting machine consolidatedly, and forming the medal counting machine as a refilling means to the polishing barrel of the body of polishing machine. CONSTITUTION:When the amount of medals (a) counted by a medal counting machine 5 and put into a hopper 9 functioning as an upper tank increases to cause full hopper, a control sensor 10 situated outside is actuated, and a sensing signal thus emitted is fed to the medal counting part 5. After entry of a reset output, the power to this medal counting part 5 is shut off, and the output for lighting an alarm lamp is emitted. If in this condition an operation ON switch is pushed, the same motion is repeated. Also the alarm lamp extinguishes automatically a certain time after a Full Hopper control sensor 10 for the hopper 9 is turned off, and returns to the normal operation. In case clog with medals has occurred between the inclined surface of a base board 13 functioning as a refilling means 11 for a polishing barrel 8 of the hopper 9 and a refilling spring 14 functioning as a scrape-up arm, the rotation of a sensor wheel 16 mounted on the rotary shaft 15 of this refilling spring 14 becomes slower, that is sensed by a control sensor 17 and informed as abnormal rotation.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Field of Industrial Application> The present invention relates to a medal polishing machine with a built-in counter for use in slot machines installed in pachinko parlors and the like.

<Conventional Technology> Generally, the method for handling medals in slot machines used in pachinko parlors, etc. is to install a medal counting machine on a counter etc. to count the medals brought in by customers.
A medal polishing machine is separately installed below the counter, and the medals counted by the medal counting machine enter the polishing machine through a hose. Moreover, the medals polished by this polishing machine could only be stored in containers such as buckets or dollar boxes.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> However, as the counting processing speed of recent medal counting machines has increased, medals often overflow from the hopper of the polishing machine that receives the counted medals, and the hose In some cases, the dispenser of the medal counting machine became clogged. In addition, medals that have been polished are placed in a container such as a bucket, but since this polishing machine is located at the bottom of the counter, the store staff does not notice even if the container is full of medals, and the medals spill onto the floor. Sometimes I fell. Of course, the medal receiving containers, such as buckets, must be placed under the narrow counter each time, making the setting process cumbersome.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention is a counter-equipped type in which a medal counting machine is built into the polishing machine itself, and the amount of medals in each built-in medal storage part is controlled by a sensor.
The object of the present invention is to provide a medal polishing machine with a built-in counter that solves the above problems.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention integrates a polishing machine and a medal counting machine, and uses the medal counting machine as a means for replenishing the polishing tube of the polishing machine body.

In addition, another invention is such that a polishing machine and a medal counting machine are integrated, and a control sensor is arranged in each tank part to control the supply of medals to the main body of the polishing machine and the amount of polished medals. be.

Due to the above-mentioned configuration, the medals counted by the medal counter located above the polishing machine flow into the hopper that serves as the upper tank, but when the medals become full, the control sensor activates. It activates, issues an alarm, and cuts off the power to the medal counting section.

In addition, if there is a medal jam in the supply spring rotated by the motor that serves as the means for supplying the polishing tube in the hopper, a control sensor disposed on a sensor wheel integrated with the supply spring is activated.
Stop the rotation of the supply spring. Further, when the tank section for storing medals that have been polished in a predetermined manner becomes full, a control sensor is activated to stop the previous feeding of the medals and to issue a predetermined alarm.

<Example> Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the drawings of the example.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a medal polishing machine body installed inside a counter (not shown). Above the polishing machine body 1, a medal input hopper part 2 is provided at the top, and a high-speed rotating rotary plate 3 is provided at the bottom. , and a medal counting section 5 having a medal counter 4 is disposed in the dispensing section for dispensing one medal, and the tip of a hose 6 connected to the discharging end of the medal counting section 5 is connected to the inclined type of the polishing machine 7. It faces the hopper 9 which serves as an upper tank provided at the end of the polishing cylinder 8. This hopper 9 has a control sensor 1 on its upper lip.
0, and a sensor wheel 16 is attached to the rotating shaft 15 of a replenishment spring 14 that rotates on the base 13 surface with a replenishment hole 12 that serves as a replenishment means 11 formed at the end of the hopper 9, and a rotation speed is set at the peripheral position of the sensor wheel 16. A control sensor 17 is provided to detect. ] 8 is a motor attached to the end of the rotating shaft 15. One is a separation basket disposed at the tip of the polishing cylinder 8, and the outlet of one of the separation baskets is connected to the tank section 21 through the chute 20, and the amount of medals in the lower tank is connected to the tank section 21. A control sensor 22 for full detection is provided in the section,
These as a whole constitute a medal polishing machine 23 with a built-in counter.

Next, to explain this operation, first, the medal a obtained in the game of the slot machine (not shown) is transferred to the medal counter 5, which is located at the counter position and is located above the medal grinder 23 with a built-in counter. If you put it into the input hopper part 2,
The medal a moves to the outer periphery side due to the centrifugal force caused by the high-speed rotation of the lower rotary disk 3, and is transferred from the discharge part to the polishing machine 7 via the hose 6.
It flows into the side hopper 9. Here, the medals a accumulated in the tank part of the hopper 9 are fed to the supply spring 1 which is rotated by the motor 18.
4, each sheet is raised one by one along the surface of the inclined base plate 13 and transported into the inclined polishing cylinder 8 through the supply hole 12 in the upper part. In this polishing tube 8 section, polishing is carried out while stirring together with the abrasive material (not shown) that has been placed in advance in the internal swiler 24, and from the upper end of the polishing tube 8, one separation basket in the next horizontal position is removed. During the transition in the internal swiler 25, only the abrasive material falls from the basket, and the polished medals a pass through the chute 20 and become the lower tank.The amount of medals is the tank part 2.
1 (ff). In this case, in normal operation, the hopper 9 of the upper tank is checked for fullness, the amount of medals in the lower tank is checked by the fullness check of the tank section 21, the set check of the same tank section 21, the rotation detection check of the supply spring 14, and the operation is turned off. A switch check is performed and there is no abnormality. This check system is shown in Figure 5.

Next, in the abnormal operation, first, the amount of medals a counted by the medal counting section 5 flowing into the hopper 9, which is an upper tank, increases, and when it is full, the control sensor 1o located on the outside is activated. This detection signal is sent to the medal counting section 5 in the previous stage.
After inputting the reset output manually, A of the medal counting section 5
It cuts off the C power and outputs an output for lighting a warning light (not shown). In this state, if the operation ON switch is pressed, the same operation is repeated. Further, the warning light is automatically turned off after a certain period of time after the fullness control sensor 1o of the hopper 9 is turned off, and normal operation is resumed.

Furthermore, when the finished medals a flow into the medal receiving tank section 21, which serves as the lower tank, and the tank becomes full, the control sensor 22 operates to stop all motors of the polishing machine 23 and issue an alarm as described above. Turn on the light. At this time, to return to normal operation, the lower tank full control sensor 22 is turned off.
After confirming that the control sensor 22 has become ON, the control sensor 22 is turned ON and the operation returns to normal.

Further, when the medal receiving tank section 21 is not set, the motor of the polishing machine is stopped and an alarm output is output.

To return to normal operation at this time, the control sensor 22 is turned ON.
This is the point in time.

Furthermore, if medals become jammed between the inclined base 13 surface which serves as the supply means 11 for feeding into the polishing tube 8 in the hopper 9 and the supply spring 14 which serves as the scraping arm, the rotating shaft 15 of the supply spring 14 The rotation of the sensor wheel 16 provided with the sensor wheel 16 becomes slow, and this rotation delay is detected by the control sensor 17,
This will notify you of a rotational abnormality. That is, if the control sensor 17 that detects this rotation does not change Asee, it is determined that the rotation is abnormal, and the motor 18 (6w) of the supply spring 14 is kept at a constant S.
It is stopped for a period of ee and operated again for a certain period of See. At this time, if there is no change in the control sensor 17, perform the same operation again and stop the motor 18 the second time (see Figure 6).
, obtain alarm output. That is, the control sensor detects a medal jam, turns off the motor power, reverses the supply spring 14 by about 90'', and rotates it forward again.Thereby, the medal jam is automatically removed and the supply spring itself is not deformed.

The contents of this control configuration are shown in FIG. 7. Upper tank full control sensor 10° Lower tank full control sensor 22. Lower tank set control sensor 261 rotation detection control sensor 17, operating lamp 27. The operation ON switch 28° and the operation OFF switch 29 are connected to the CPU board 3o.
The CPU board 30 has a counter reset manual power 31, an abnormality output (warning light) 32, and a counter AC power source 3.
3 is connected to the terminal block 34, and on the other hand, the SSR board 35
The replenishment spring motor 18, separation basket motor 36, and polishing tube motor 37 are connected to the side.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, the medal polishing machine with a built-in counting unit of the present invention integrates the medal counting machine installed at the counter position, the medal polishing machine, and the medal receiving tank after polishing, and also has a hopper of the polishing machine. By installing a control sensor for detecting the rotation of the upper tank, the lower tank of the tank, and the replenishment spring, which is the means of replenishing the polishing tube at one end of the hopper, the medal counting section can perform high-speed counting and collect a large number of medals. If the hopper, which serves as the upper tank, is about to overflow, the counter will stop when detected by the control sensor, and the motor will stop rotating even if medals are being injected into the replenishment spring that feeds them into the polishing tube. Obtain safe drive to clear blockages. Furthermore, if the medal receiving tank after polishing becomes full, the entire machine will stop.
Unlike conventional containers that simply install containers, various controls can be carried out to prevent spills on the floor. Moreover, the advantage of the present invention is that it is an integrated type, so it is compact as a whole, making it ideal for installation inside a narrow counter.
