Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a one-sheet restricting device in a coin sending device for supplying coins to a plurality of inter-lens lenders arranged in a pachinko parlor or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a device for sending coins or coins for replenishing coins or medals to the inter-lending machine among gaming machines and inter-lending machines arranged in a pachinko parlor, for example, one side of a storage hopper a as shown in FIG. A rotating plate c in which a scooping pin b for feeding out one coin is planted in a peripheral portion is diagonally erected, and a coin or the like addressed by rotating the rotating plate c is attached to the rotating plate. It is for feeding to a feeding portion d facing a vertical feeding means (elevator) provided at the upper end of c.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In this case, the length of the scooping pin b projecting on the rotary plate c is equal to the thickness of one coin, and the coin is hooked so as to scoop only one coin, and the coin is moved to one. When a large number of coins are clogged, such as in the storage hopper a, coins are often sent together in a state of overlapping coins, and the sending part d is apt to be clogged.

Further, recently, a type having a spring (wire-like spring) for pulling down only the upper side (overlapping coins) of the two overlapping coins transferred together has appeared ( For example, see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-208593), the use of a wire-shaped spring made it so easy that the coins caught on the scooping pin were so stiff that it was easy to drop them together, and it was easy to cause an idle feed.

In view of the above situation, the present invention has an object to provide a one-piece restricting device in a coin feeding device that solves the above problems by using a urethane control rod as a wiping means. Is.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is a coin feeding device installed at the end of an island where a gaming machine and a stand lending machine are arranged. On the outer periphery of the plate, urethane restriction rods projecting from the peripheral wall side are laterally projected at a distance of one coin from the surface of the rotating plate.

[0007]

[Action]

 As described above, when the rotating plate rotates in the inclined position in the coin group accumulated in the storage hopper, the feeding pocket configured by each scooping pin of the rotating plate catches one coin and moves it. However, it is fed into the delivery port located on one side in the rotation direction. In the middle of this rotational movement, the urethane control rod is located at a distance of one coin thickness from the peripheral wall, so even if there is a coin that overlaps with the coin that moves with the scooping pin, only this overlapped coin. Contacts the urethane control rod. This urethane control rod has a moderate elasticity, and since the rod itself also bends with a buffering action, only the overlapping coins in contact with each other will be gradually displaced with respect to the first coin and will be dropped off. , Only one coin remains.

[0008]

【Example】

 The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments.

The figure shows a coin delivery device installed at the island end of an arrayed gaming machine and a stand-alone lending machine for supplying and collecting coins to the stand-alone lending machine, where 1 is an inclined shape having a predetermined depth. It is a rotary plate which is located at the slanting inner end (inside) of the storage hopper 2 and which is rotated by a motor 3 which is arranged so as to stand upright with respect to this inner flat surface. The rotary plate 1 has at least a coin diameter width Aa in its periphery. In addition to that, the annular step portion 4 having a step of coin thickness Ab is formed, and the scooping pin 5 having the length of the coin thickness Ab is formed in the annular step portion 4 at a predetermined interval (interval into which one coin is inserted. ), And the intake 6a facing the vertical feed elevator 7 serving as the delivery part 6 is located on one side (the traveling direction side) of the upper part of the annular step part 4, and the coins are configured as a whole. It becomes the sending device 8. The reference numeral 9 designates a single sheet formed on the circular step portion 4 of the rotary plate 1 above the upper portion 4a in the vicinity of the delivery portion 6 and protruding from the arcuate peripheral wall 10 side surrounding the circular step portion 4. The urethane control rod 9 has a base end portion 9a passing through a large insertion hole 11 formed in the peripheral wall 10 and a height of the support rod 12 protruding from the delivery body 8a. It is sandwiched and fixed by the two holding plates 13 that are being adjusted. Of course, the protruding height of the urethane regulating rod 9 is at a position at least a coin thickness b away from the surface of the annular step portion 4. Reference numeral 14 denotes a stirring pedestal portion provided at the center of the rotary plate 1.

Explaining this operation now, first, the coin sending device 8 may be incorporated in the lower part of the safe part 15 provided at the arrangement end of, for example, a gaming machine and a stand lending machine (not shown) (see FIG. 6). ), Coins A falling from the end of the collection conveyor 16 connected to the stand lending machine are sequentially received in the storage hopper 2 through the upper opening 2a.

Here, if the rotating plate 1 in the inclined position is rotated by the drive of the motor 3 based on the supply signal or the like on the side of the stand rental machine, the coins A accumulated in the storage hopper 2 are stored in the rotating plate 1. It is agitated by centripetal force, is moved to the peripheral side, moves to the surrounding annular step portion 4, and is scooped as one piece in the feed pocket composed of the scooping pin 5 protruding from the annular step portion 4. It is fed upward along the peripheral wall 10. In this case, the scooping operation of a large number of coins A does not always scoop only one coin even if the length of the scooping pin 5 is the coin thickness b, and two coins are piled and stacked. May be

When two coins A, which are stacked by the scooping pin 5 of the annular step portion 4, are stacked on the rotating upper part, urethane coins are projected on the peripheral wall 10 at intervals of one coin. Since the production control rod 9 is provided, only the second coin A comes into contact with the control rod 9 and is flipped. At this time, since the regulating rod 9 is made of urethane having elasticity, the regulating rod 9 flexes as a whole while acting as a buffer for slightly denting against impact, so that only the second coin A is the first coin. The coin A gradually falls and falls, and only the first coin A is caught and left on the scooping pin 5 as it is (see FIG. 5).

Thereafter, only one coin A, which has become one sheet, passes through the guide piece 17 on the feeding end side and enters the side intake 6a to rise in the safe section 15 by the well-known vertical feed elevator 7 facing the inside. It is delivered to the supply conveyor 18.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the one-sheet restricting device in the coin feeding device of the present invention has the urethane restricting rod projecting from the peripheral wall at the upper position of the annular stepped part where the coin scooping pin of the rotating plate is arranged. Therefore, even if two coins are picked up and moved in a stacked manner, only the second coin above is removed. In this case, since the control rod is made of urethane and has elasticity, it separates from the first coin so that it does not slip, so that two coins are not dropped all at once and idling is not caused. Moreover, since this urethane regulation rod only has to be projected from the peripheral wall, it has an effect that it can be easily attached to an existing device. Although the above description has been made with reference to coins, the same applies to a medal sending device.
