Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a bill transporting device installed inside an island formed by arranging game stands side by side. The present invention relates to a bill accepting mechanism of a bill transporting device that guides bills discharged from the inside of a main body of the bill transporting device.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4, the banknote transporting device 51 installed inside the island formed by arranging the game stands 50 is the banknote receiving unit 5.
It was connected to the stand-alone lending machine 62 via the No. 2. The banknote receiving part 52 was fixed to the side surface 53 of the banknote transporting device main body and constituted a banknote receiving mechanism.

As shown in FIG. 5, the bill receiving portion 52 is formed in a rectangular tube shape, and the opening widths of both long side portions 56 are the ends of the long side portion 56 so that the bill discharged from the bill discriminating device can be easily received. Part 57
And the central portion 58 were formed to have the same width.

Then, the bill inserted into the bill insertion slot 64 of the unit lending machine 62 is identified by the bill validator inside the unit lending machine 62 as a true bill or a counterfeit bill. In the state, the front and back surfaces of the bill passed through the bill receiving portion 52 and were guided into the main body of the bill transporting device 51 while being close to the long side portion 56.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the banknote receiving part 52 which is a conventional banknote receiving mechanism, the opening (width) of both long sides 56 is wide, and therefore the inserted (conveyed) banknotes are new and unbroken banknotes. Although there is no problem,
As for the banknote S that has been used up and has no stiffness, and is further folded in three and folded in four, the rear end S1 of the banknote S sticks out of the opening 60 and the banknote S is caught in the opening 60 as shown in FIG. there were. Further, there is a problem that jamming as shown in FIG. 6 occurs and the bill is jammed in the bill receiving portion 52.

This occurs because the connection distance between the bill transporting device 51 and the inter-lens ball lending machine 62 is different for each game hall. Specifically, when the connection distance becomes long, for example, the bill receiving portion 52
There is a gap between the stand and the inter-vehicle lending machine 62, and the bill S protrudes from the gap, resulting in the problem described above.

Furthermore, unless the banknote S is transferred in a normal state (straight state) due to a fold, a wrinkle or the like of the banknote S, the leading end of the banknote S does not reach the transfer mechanism of the banknote transfer device 51 because of the long connection distance. The banknote S is not conveyed (is not pulled in),
There was a situation in which the bills were delayed in the bill receiving section 52.

When the banknote jam occurs, the gaming table 50 and the inter-lending machine 6 are manually used to clear the banknote jam.
Since 2 must be removed and the jammed banknote must be pulled out, the player is interrupted from playing, which is not preferable in business. At the same time, the work was complicated and required great effort.

According to the present invention, the bill discharged from the bill validator of the stand-alone lending machine is old and has no stiffness, and even if the bill is a three-fold or a four-fold bill, jamming does not occur and the bill is not jammed. Another object of the present invention is to provide a bill accepting mechanism of a bill transporting device that can smoothly guide bills into the bill transporting device main body without the trailing end of the bills protruding from the opening and being caught. It is a thing.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the bill accepting mechanism of the bill transporting device of the present invention is a gaming table, a table lending machine attached to the gaming table, and a table lending machine. In a game island facility consisting of a bill transport device that transports bills sent from the bill validator of
The banknote transporting device is provided with a banknote receiving part formed in a rectangular tube shape on a side surface part connected to the banknote identifying device of the inter-lending machine, and the banknote receiving part is provided on both sides of opposing long side parts. A banknote support part that is raised from the opening side with a curved surface is formed along the banknote receiving part length in the center of the long side part, and the opening part of the banknote receiving part is a banknote ejection device of a banknote recognition device in a stand-alone lending machine. It is characterized by being connected to the exit.

(Operation) The bill receiving mechanism of the bill transporting device of the present invention configured as described above receives the bill in a state in which the bill moves from the opening of the bill receiving portion in the direction of the long side of the bill. Becomes close to the inner surfaces of the central portions of both long side portions, and the bills are supported by the central portions.

First, the bill inserted into the bill insertion slot of the stand-alone lending machine is identified by the bill identifying device in the lending machine as to whether it is a true bill or a counterfeit bill. If it is a genuine bill, it will be ejected from the bill outlet to the back side of the lending machine. Since the opening of the bill receiving portion is continuously provided at the bill outlet, the bill enters the bill receiving portion in a state where the short side is vertical and moves in the long side direction.

The banknote receiving part is formed in a rectangular tube shape, and the opening width of both long sides is narrower at the center part of the long sides than at both ends. In addition, even in the case of bills that are folded in three or four, the bills are supported by both inner surfaces of the central portion, so that the bills are forcibly extended, that is, the short side is approximately a V shape and the long side is Because it is vertical,
A weak-strength banknote has a streak to give strength to the waist, and a banknote with a strong crease can be corrected, so even these banknotes have long-sided edges. Since the bills are supported and guided in a straight state by the inner surfaces of the central portion, the conveyance friction resistance is reduced, so that jamming does not occur in the bill receiving unit as in the conventional case,
The banknote moves smoothly in the banknote receiving section without breaking the conveyance posture.

Further, since the opening widths at both ends of both long side portions are formed wider than the central portion, even a bill having four corners bent can be moved in the bill receiving portion without causing a jam.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bill receiving mechanism of a bill transporting device according to the present invention.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body of the bill transporting device, which is installed inside an island formed by arranging a game table, which is a game table.

On the side surface 2 of the bill transporting device 1, a bill receiving portion 3 formed in a rectangular tube shape is fixed.

The opening width of both long side portions 6 of the bill receiving portion 3 is such that the central portion 10 is narrower than the both end portions 11, and in this embodiment,
On the inner surface of the central portion 10 of both long side portions 6, the bill supporting portions 12a, 12
b is formed up to the mouth portion 13.

In the present embodiment, these are integrally molded products made of plastic or the like.

Further, the bill receiving portions of the bill supporting portions 12a and 12b form a smooth curved surface 18, and the bill 14 enters between the bill supporting portions 12a and 12b along the curved surface 18.

The opening 5 is connected to a banknote outlet (not shown) of the banknote recognition device on the back surface of the inter-lending machine as in the conventional case.

FIG. 2 is a plan view of the vicinity of the bill receiving portion 3 showing a state where the bill 14 enters the main body of the bill transporting device 1. Banknote 14
Moves in the long side direction of the banknotes and moves into the banknote supporting portions 12a, 1
It passes through the bill receiving portion 3 while being supported by 2b. Then, the bills are guided by the guide plate 17 in the main body of the bill transporting device 1, sandwiched between the endless belt 15 and the guide roller 16, and the bills are transported in the predetermined direction in the transporting device 1.

Further, FIG. 3 is an overall perspective view of the banknote transporting device 1, in which the banknote transporting device 1 is equipped with an endless belt 15, and the endless belt 15 has a guide roller 1 attached thereto.
6 are in contact with each other at a predetermined interval.

The banknote 14 is sandwiched between the endless belt 15 and the guide roller 16 and is conveyed in the long side direction of the banknote.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above description, the banknote receiving portion of the banknote receiving mechanism of the banknote transporting device of the present invention has two facing long side portions on both sides of the central portion of the long side portion from the opening side. Since the banknote support part that is raised with a curved surface is formed along the banknote receiving part length, the banknote is guided to the curved surface from the opening part of the banknote receiving part, and the short side of the banknote is made vertical to the long side direction. The bills are received in the state of moving to the front side and the back side of the bills are in close proximity to the inner faces of the central portions of both long side portions, and the bills are supported by the central portions.

Therefore, even if the banknote is a used banknote that is not stiff, or a banknote that is further folded in three, folded in four, etc., jamming does not occur in the banknote receiving section and jams by disturbing the transport posture as in the conventional case. Therefore, there is an effect that the bill smoothly moves in the bill receiving portion while maintaining a certain posture.

Further, even if the connection distance between the banknote transporting device main body and the inter-lending machine is long and the banknote receiving section is long, the banknotes are as described above.
Since the front and back surfaces are supported by the bill supporting portion formed at the center of the long side of the opening, there is an effect that jamming does not occur.

In addition, the opening width of both long sides is wider than both ends, so even if the bill has four corners folded,
The corner-folding portion passes through a portion having a wide opening at both ends, and the bill has an effect of moving in the bill receiving portion without being jammed.

As mentioned above, since the banknote jam that occurs in the conventional one is eliminated, the removal of the gaming table and the inter-lending machine, which is conventionally performed when the jam is cleared, becomes unnecessary, and it is immeasurable in business. It also makes a contribution.
