Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a bank-note transfer device having a reduced installation space with a simple constitution by arranging in parallel both a magnetic belt and a magnetic body, and by transferring bank notes while holding them between the magnetic belt and the magnetic body. CONSTITUTION:A shaft 14 is supported by the bearing 13 which has been arranged on the upper surface and the lower surface of the frame 12 of a transfer device, and an endless magnetic belt 16 is wound around a roller 15 that has been fitted on the shaft 14. The power of a driving motor is transmitted to the shaft 14 to turn the roller 15 for Circulatedly moving the magnetic belt 16. For the magnetic belt 16, for instance, rubber magnet or the like is used; anyhow, the belt is magnetized. In the inside of the side surface of the frame 12, a magnetic body 17 being brought into contact with the surface of the magnetic belt 16 is arranged in parallel with the magnetic belt. By attracting the magnetic body 17 and the magnetic belt 16 by a magnetic force, a bank note 5 can be held between both of them. Thus, as compared with the device in which bank notes are transferred while being held between a pair of transfer belts, the holding force can be increased, and intermediate rollers or the like can be dispensed with.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for conveying banknotes (banknotes, paper, etc.) using a magnetic belt.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a pachinko game parlor, a bill conveying device 2 is installed inside a pachinko island formed by arranging a plurality of pachinko machines 1 as shown in FIG. There is a ball lending machine 3 between the pachinko machines 1, and banknotes 5 inserted from the bill slot 4 of the ball lending machine 3 are transferred to the bill conveying device 2 via a merging guide 6 arranged at the back of the ball lending machine. handed over to. The banknotes 5 that have entered the banknote transport device 2 are transported by the power of the drive motor 7 and are stored in the stacker 8 at the end of the island.
As shown in FIG. 8, the banknote conveyance device 2 as described above sandwiches and conveys banknotes 5 between a pair of conveyor belts 10 wound around rollers 9.

0003

However, in the conventional type, an intermediate roller 11 must be provided to obtain a clamping force to prevent the banknotes from falling during conveyance, and the belt 10 must be pressed from inside. Furthermore, since two conveyor belts 10 are required and an intermediate roller 11 is also provided, the structure becomes complicated.
Large installation space.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and to provide a banknote conveying device that has a simple structure and can be installed in a small space. To achieve this objective, we have invented a banknote conveyance device in which a magnetic belt and a magnetic body are arranged in parallel, and the banknotes are held and conveyed between the magnetic belt and the magnetic body.

[0005]

[Operation] Banknotes are held between the magnetic belt and the magnetic body by magnetic force, and the banknotes are conveyed by the circumferential movement of the magnetic belt.

[0006]

[Examples] Examples of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a front view of a conveying device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line A-A in FIG. Bearings 13 arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the frame 12 of the conveying device
An endless magnetic belt 16 is wound around a roller 15 mounted on a shaft 14. Power from a drive motor (not shown) (see drive motor 7 in FIG. 7) is transmitted to the shaft 14, and the roller 15 is rotated to rotate the magnetic belt 16. For example, a rubber magnet or the like is used for the magnetic belt 16, and in any case, the belt is magnetic. Also,
Magnetic bodies 17 that are in contact with the surface of the magnetic belt 16 are arranged in parallel inside the side surface of the frame 12, and when these magnetic bodies 17 and the magnetic belt 16 are attracted by magnetic force, the banknotes 5 can be held between them. composition. The magnetic body 17 is made of a material that is attracted by a magnet, such as iron, but the frame 12 may be processed to form an integral structure with the magnetic body 17. In addition, rails 18 and 19 are provided above and below the magnetic body 17 to abut the top and bottom of the banknote 5. In the example, two rails each on the top and bottom are made of magnetic material 1.
It is set at the same height as 7. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the base portion 20 of the magnetic body 17 is formed into an expanded shape, and the magnetic body 17 is supported by a protrusion 21 formed inside the side surface of the frame 12 so as to be freely inserted from the side of the conveyance device.

[0007] Therefore, in the pachinko island previously explained with reference to FIG.
is carried into the banknote conveyance device via the merging guide 6,
The banknote 5 is held between the magnetic body 17 and the magnetic belt 16 by the magnetic force between them. Then, the magnetic belt 16 rotates due to the power of the drive motor, and the magnetic body 17 and the magnetic belt 1
The banknotes 5 held between the banknotes 6 are conveyed. In this way, the banknotes 5 can be stored in the stacker 8 at the end of the island. According to the conveyance device configured as described above, the banknotes 5 are held between the magnetic body 17 and the magnetic belt 16 and conveyed while sliding on the surface of the magnetic body 17, thereby maintaining the attraction force between the two. Since the banknotes can be conveyed while they are held, the supporting force can be increased compared to the conventional method in which the banknotes are held and conveyed between a pair of conveyor belts, and therefore intermediate rollers and the like are not required.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but can be modified and implemented as appropriate within the scope of the gist. For example, the shape of the magnetic body 17 is as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, a recess 22 is provided in the center of the magnetic body 17, and the bill 5 is held between the magnetic belt 16 and the banknote 5 at two places above and below.As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, two round bars 23 made of magnetic material are attached to the surface of the magnetic body 17, and the banknotes 5 are held and conveyed between these round bars 23 and the magnetic belt 16. Although it is possible to use a shape such as a solid shape, other shapes may also be used. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the magnetic body 17 (23)
If the contact resistance between the banknotes 5 and the banknotes 5 is reduced, the friction between the banknotes 5 and the banknotes 5 will be reduced, resulting in smooth conveyance.

[0009]

According to the conveying device of the present invention, banknotes are sandwiched between the magnetic belt and the magnetic body, and are surely conveyed by sliding on the surface of the magnetic body while being attracted to the magnetic belt. It is possible to omit the intermediate rollers that were necessary for the conveyance device that clamps banknotes between a pair of conveyance belts. Therefore, the structure is simple. Furthermore, since the device can be constructed from a combination of a magnetic material and a single magnetic belt, there is an advantage that the entire device can be made thinner and the installation space for the conveying device can be narrowed.
