Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] In the present invention, a hopper that stores a disk-shaped body and a dispensing mechanism that dispenses the disk-shaped body are provided in a casing, and the disk is fed to the hopper. The present invention relates to a disc-shaped body dispensing device provided with a replenishment opening capable of replenishing a body, an inspection opening capable of inspecting the dispensing mechanism, and a cover portion for opening and closing these openings.

[Conventional technology]

The disk-shaped body dispensing device opens and closes the supply opening and the inspection opening in order to supply the disk-shaped body to the hopper in the casing and to inspect the dispensing mechanism in the casing. Although the cover portion is provided, conventionally, a single cover portion capable of simultaneously opening and closing both the supply opening portion and the inspection opening portion is provided.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

According to the above-mentioned conventional technique, since the single cover portion simultaneously opens and closes both the supply opening and the inspection opening, the supply opening of the disc-shaped body is unnecessarily opened to the inspection opening. There is a drawback that ends up.

In order to solve this drawback, a cover part for opening and closing the supply opening and a cover part for opening and closing the inspection opening are separately provided, and these cover parts serve as the supply opening and the inspection opening. Can be opened and closed separately, but in this case, to prevent these openings from being unnecessarily opened due to mischief, etc., open the openings on both the cover side and the casing side. Therefore, there is a drawback that the number of parts is increased and the manufacturing cost of the disc-shaped body dispensing device is increased because a lock for preventing the above is required separately.

An object of the present invention is to provide a disc-shaped body dispensing device capable of opening only a replenishment opening portion when replenishing a disc-shaped body while suppressing an increase in manufacturing cost by devising a casing cover structure. There is a point to do.

[Means for solving the problem]

The characteristic configuration of the present invention is a hopper for storing a disk-shaped body,
A dispensing mechanism for dispensing the disc-shaped body is provided in the casing, a replenishment opening capable of replenishing the disc-shaped body to the hopper, a replenishment cover section for opening and closing the replenishment opening, and the delivery. A disc-shaped body dispensing device provided with an inspection opening capable of inspecting a mechanism and a main body cover portion for opening and closing the inspection opening, wherein the replenishment cover portion and the main body cover portion are provided. Are connected so as to be relatively swingable, and the supply opening is provided so as to be opened and closed by swinging of the supply cover part with respect to the main body cover part, and the main body cover part is When opened, the opening for inspection is provided so as to be openable and closable, and a lock for preventing the opening of the supply opening is provided between the supply cover portion side and the casing side.

[Action]

When the main body cover is closing the inspection opening and the replenishing cover is swung with respect to the main body cover, only the refilling opening can be opened, and the refilling opening is open. You can open and close the inspection opening.

Further, when the supply cover is closing the supply opening, the main body cover cannot open the inspection opening. Therefore, in this state, lock the lock to prevent the supply opening from opening. Therefore, there is no possibility that the inspection opening will be opened.

〔effect〕

Therefore, at the time of replenishment of the disc-shaped body, only the replenishment opening can be opened, and further, by locking the lock for preventing the replenishment opening from being opened, the opening of the inspection opening can also be prevented. The increase can be suppressed.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
