Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a conveying device for pieces of paper, etc., and is used for conveying banknotes and the like.

"Prior Art" Conventional paper conveyance devices include, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-84889, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 59-135586,
There is one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-20297.
In all of these methods, a conveyance belt is stretched along a conveyance path, and the belt is brought into contact with coins over the front section, so that the coins are conveyed by the frictional force.

``Problem that the invention aims to solve'' However, in the case of such conventional conveyance devices for pieces of paper, etc., the conveyed object must always be firmly pressed against the belt, so the arrangement of the belt is complicated. The overall structure tends to be complicated and expensive, and if the object to be conveyed is a piece of paper, if it is pressed along its entire length, it will end up bending or wrinkling, making it uncomfortable. There was a problem that something bad happened.

The present invention has been made by focusing on these conventional problems, and provides a conveying device for paper pieces, etc., which is suitable for conveying paper pieces, etc., and has a simple and inexpensive structure. It is intended to.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' The gist of the present invention for achieving the above purpose is that, in devices that continuously transport pieces of paper, etc., the driving pulley and the driven pulley are connected to the right and left ends of the toll collection line. a pinch pulley is disposed near the drive pulley, and a solid round belt is sandwiched between the pinch pulley and the drive pulley so that the solid belt can be driven between the drive pulley and the driven pulley. The solid belt is stretched across the solid belt from both sides to form a pair of opposing pulleys, and the pair of pulleys are connected along the solid belt, and the pair of pulleys and the solid belt are The present invention relates to a paper piece conveying device which sequentially conveys paper pieces etc. by sandwiching them therebetween.

"Operation" A solid round belt is held between the pinch pulley and the drive pulley and is driven in tension, and a piece of paper or the like is held between at least one of the pair of pulleys and the solid round belt. During this process, the pieces of paper, etc. move with the solid round belt, and by arranging pairs of pulleys at a pitch shorter than the length of the pieces of paper, etc., the pieces of paper, etc. are conveyed sequentially from one pair of adjacent pulleys to another. This is what I did.

“Embodiment” An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to a fee collection line of a game machine.

A fee collection line 20 is arranged in series with the game machines 10, 10, .

Each game machine 10 is provided with a charge box 11,
The fare box 11 has a coin insertion slot 12 and a bill insertion slot 1.
A fee collection line 20 collects pieces of paper, which are banknotes, inserted into the banknote insertion slot 13.

The toll collection line 20 has a driving pulley 22 and a driven pulley 23 spaced apart from each other at both ends, and a pinch pulley 24 is installed close to the driving pulley 22. The pinch pulley 24 is supported so as to be in elastic contact with the outer periphery of the drive pulley 22.

A solid round belt 25 is simply stretched between the driving pulley 22 and the driven pulley 23 without tension, and on the driving pulley 22 side, the round belt 25 is held between the driving pulley 22 and the pinch pulley 24. It is clamped and driven to transmit driving force. In this way, the tension applied to the round belt 25 is set to the minimum tension required only by the tension caused by clamping. This is because if the tension is too large, the round belt 25 will stretch during long-term use, become thinner or change in shape, and become unusable.

A rail member 26 is provided along an intermediate portion of the round belt 25 between the driving pulley 22 and the driven pulley 23, and a guide groove 26a is formed in the rail member 26. Round belts 2 are installed at key points of the rail member 26.
A pair of pulleys 27 and 28 are supported, which sandwich 5 from both sides. Pulleys 27 and 28 are round belts 25
The pulleys 27 and 28 are urged in the abutting direction by a spring so as to resiliently abut against each other, and the pair of pulleys 27 and 28 are arranged in series at a pitch that is smaller than the length of a piece of paper and can be fed forward.

Further, as can be seen in Fig. 4, the outer peripheries of the pulleys 27 and 28 are recessed at the center of the outer periphery end face, so that when the banknote A is held, the pulleys 27 and 28 are bent a little so that the waist is exposed. .

A guide member 14 is provided from each game machine 10 and extends between the round belt 25 and the pulley 27 or 28 in a direction in which the bill A is held between the round belt 25 and the pulley 27 or 28.

Next, the effect will be explained.

Bill insertion slot 1 of fee receiving box 11 of each game machine 10
The banknote A inserted from 3 is guided by the guide member 14 and passed between the round belt 25 and the pulley 27 or the pulley
8, and is held between them.
Since the round belt 25 is solid, it will not be deformed by the clamping force. When the banknote A is clamped, the central part of the outer peripheral end surface of the pulley 27 or 28 is depressed, so that the banknote A is bent at that position as shown in FIG. 4, and becomes stiff in the conveyance direction.

Since the bill A is clamped, it moves together with the round belt 25, and before it is separated from the clamped pair of pulleys 27, 28, it is clamped between the round belt 25 by the next pair of pulleys 27, 28, and is fed sequentially. It is transported along the round belt 25 and finally to the fare storage box 2.
It is released when it reaches 1.

"Effect of the invention" According to the device for conveying pieces of paper, etc. according to the invention, the drive pulley and the driven pulley are installed without tension, and the drive is carried out with the minimum tension between the drive pulley and the pinch pulley. Because the round belt does not deform, and the pair of pulleys that hold the paper pieces between the belt and the round belt are arranged in series at an appropriate pitch to convey the paper pieces, it is extremely suitable for conveying paper pieces. Since it has a simple structure, it can be manufactured at low cost and has excellent durability.
