Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a defective coin returning device for a stand-alone ball lending machine, which is capable of returning coins, which have been judged to be defective by being inserted from a coin slot, from a ball lending case.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional inter-lens ball lending machine has a function of verifying coins and bills inside and has a complicated structure.

[0003]

Therefore, in the case of a defect in the verification section or the coin passage, it is necessary to disassemble the entire complex structure to find out the defective portion, which is difficult and time and labor consuming. It had a problem that it was overloaded.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves such a problem and provides coins free from clogging and easy to maintain. Therefore, the present invention is provided on a lateral side of a pachinko machine. In the inter-lens ball lending machine configured by mounting a narrow ball lending case having a ball take-out portion on the front surface in a narrow housing case provided so as to be able to be taken in and out from above, above the upper end of the housing case, The coin lending case is provided with a coin passage that is supplied from the coin slot of the coin discriminator and is discharged by the verification section of the coin discriminator, and the coin lending case has a coin passage communicating with the coin outlet on the front side. The coin passage is configured so that the upper end portion of the coin passage is formed so as to approach the coin supply portion and open upward, and a part of the upper end surface of the storage case is the upper end portion of the coin passage. The opening can be exposed The coin passage is made to stand up to the lower side inside the storage case, and the coin outlet that communicates with the lower end of the coin passage is located below the front of the ball lending case, which is below the ball take-out part. It is configured by being provided.

[0005]

[Operation] Therefore, the coin determined to be defective by the verification unit above the ball lending case falls from the coin supply unit into the coin passage in the ball lending case and is returned to the coin outlet while flowing down without being clogged. Therefore, when the upper verification unit fails, only the verification unit needs to be inspected, and the ball lending case can also be put in and taken out from the storage case to easily perform maintenance of each unit.

EXAMPLE FIG. 3 shows a part of a pachinko island. As shown in FIG. 2, two pachinko machines 1 are arranged back to back side by side, and each unit support frame which can be installed as one block is arranged side by side. The island decorations 12a and 12b are connected to each other to form a pachinko island A. Above the pachinko islands 1 above the support plate 13 of the unit support frame, the bill conveyor 14a extending to both ends of the island A is provided. A banknote and coin transport device 14 including a coin conveyor 14b and a coin conveyor, a coin discriminator, and a bill discriminator are provided, and a coin slot 15 is provided on the front surface thereof.
A curtain board 17 having a bill insertion slot 16 and a bill insertion slot 16 is stretched, and is inserted from the coin insertion slot 15 to be validated by the verification section 19 of the coin identifying machine.
The coin supply unit 3 for discharging the coins that have been determined to be defective is hung vertically below the verification unit 19, and the coins determined to be good in the verification unit 19 can be carried out to the coin conveyor 14b by the conveyor 20. The pachinko machine 1 is mounted and a waist plate 23 is stretched below the top plate 18 below each pachinko machine 1.

A narrow housing case 4 is fixedly installed inside an island on the lateral side of each pachinko machine 1. One side surface of the housing case 4 on the pachinko machine 1 side is entirely open, and above that. An inclined surface portion 4a in the front-rear direction is formed on the end surface, and the front surface portion of the inclined surface portion 4a, which is the lower direction of the coin supply portion 3, is notched so as to open upward, and the rear surface portion of the inclined surface portion 4a has a pachinko machine. The bellows-shaped ball supply section 2 for feeding the balls is formed by continuously opening the lower end cap 2a, and a convex portion 4b extending in the front-rear direction is formed on the lower surface of the housing case 4. The sloped portion 4a of the accommodation case 4 is provided on the upper surface of the ball lending case 10 having a narrow width that can be freely inserted and removed from the front.
Is formed on the lower surface with a front-rear recess 10b that can be fitted to the rail portion 4b of the housing case 4, and the front surface of the ball lending case 10 is a so-called ball pot. A certain ball take-out part 9 and a coin take-out port 8 at the lower side thereof are provided, and a lock part 11 for locking the rotary engaging piece 11a on the side plate side of the housing case 4 is provided at the upper front part. Inside the ball lending case 10, a ball passage 5, a ball counter 7, a connector 21, and a host relay board 22 are arranged, and a coin passage 6 whose lower end communicates with the coin take-out port 8 is formed in a substantially upright shape. The coin passage 6 is arranged so that the upper end portion 6a of the coin passage 6 is formed so as to be close to the coin supply portion 3 and open upward, except for the open portion of the upper end surface of the housing case 4.

Therefore, when coins are inserted into the coin insertion slot 15 to lend the coins, the coins determined to be defective by the verification unit 19 are inserted from the coin supply unit 3 into the coin passage 6 in the coin lending case 10 at the upper end. It will fall from 6a and will be returned to the coin outlet 8 while flowing down without being clogged. If the upper verification unit 19 fails, remove the curtain plate 17 and inspect only the verification unit 19. Good, and from the front, lock part 1
By unlocking 1 and pulling out only the ball lending case 10, the maintenance of each part can be easily performed.

[0009]

As described above, according to the present invention, coins that are defective in the verification section (19) above the ball lending case (10) are stored in the ball lending case (10) from the coin supply section (3). The coin passage (6) can be dropped into the coin passage (6) from the upper end portion (6a) and returned to the coin outlet (8) while flowing down without being clogged. Requires only the inspection section (19) to be inspected, and the ball lending case (10) can be put in and taken out of the storage case (4) to easily perform maintenance of each section, which is suitable for a compact structure. It has features that can be implemented.
