Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be reused after cleaning the surface by removing stains and oils while counting coins or coins of coins used in pachinko game arcades, game centers, etc. The present invention relates to a coin continuous polishing counting device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Coins used in pachinko machines and game machines are filthy due to hand sweat, hand stains, oil, oil, dust in the air, dust, cigarette tar, etc. Conventionally, in order to remove these stains and the like, coins have been soaked in a washing liquid to remove stains, washed with water, dried, and then reused.

[0003]

However, in the conventional method of removing only the washing liquid, the removal of fats, cigarette tar, etc. strongly adhered to the surface of the coin was insufficient. Therefore, it may be necessary to wipe it off manually with a cloth or the like. Further, a washing tank containing a washing liquid capable of accommodating a large number of coins, a water injection / drainage device, a coin discharging means, a drying means and the like are required, which is a large-sized device. The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve these conventional problems, to remove fats and cigarette tar well, and to have a small and continuous polishing capacity without using a special washing tank and drying device. The object of the present invention is to provide a coin continuous polishing / counting device having a high cost.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems The gist of the present invention which has solved the above problems is as follows: 1) A coin counter is provided in the middle of a coin discharging path of a coin collecting hopper, and a pair of polishing belts are opposed to each other in the middle of the coin discharging path. 2. The continuous coin counting device for coins according to claim 2, wherein the coins are forcibly installed in a closed state, the opposing polishing belts are urged toward each other, and the coin forced feeding means is provided in the discharge path between the opposing polishing belts. ) A coin continuous polishing / counting device as described in 1) above, wherein the polishing belt is impregnated with a polishing liquid and a disinfecting liquid for removing dirt / fat from coins 3) Belt forced feeding means for feeding the polishing belt in the coin discharging direction or the opposite direction. The coin continuous polishing counting device according to 1) or 2) above.

[0005]

According to the present invention, used coins are temporarily stored in the coin collecting hopper and sent one by one to the coin discharge path. Coins passing through the coin discharge path are counted by the coin counter. In the middle of the coin discharge path,
The coin is sandwiched between the pair of polishing belts, and is forcibly fed between the pair of polishing belts by the coin forced feeding means.
At this time, the urging polishing belt is pressed against the surface of the coin, and the surface of the coin is polished to clean the surface of the coin.
Dust is wiped off the belt surface and removed. Without stopping the polishing belt, by moving it in the same direction as the coin discharge direction or in the opposite direction by the belt forced feeding means,
It can be removed more effectively. Furthermore, polishing liquid on the polishing belt
When impregnated with a disinfectant solution, polishing can be performed effectively and disinfection can be performed at the same time.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of the embodiment, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the embodiment, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a state of coins sandwiched by a pair of polishing belts of the embodiment, and FIG. It is explanatory drawing which shows the coin sending by a means.

In the figure, 1 is a coin recovery hopper which stores a large number of coins and discharges one coin from the coin discharge port 14, 2 is a coin discharge path, 3 is a coin counter using an optical sensor, and 4 and 5 are Polishing belt, 6 is a pressing plate for urging the polishing belts toward each other, 7 is a polishing belt guide block, 8 is a spring for generating the urging force of the pressing plate, and 9 is a coin forced feeding means 10-13. It is composed of. Reference numeral 10 is an endless belt for generating the forced feeding force of the coin forced feeding means, 11 is a driving platen of the endless belt, 12 is a pressing side wall plate arranged at a position facing the endless belt 10, and 13 is an endless side wall of the pressing side wall plate. Belt 10
A biasing spring, 14 a coin outlet of the coin recovery hopper 1, 15 an endless belt provided in the vicinity of the coin outlet 14 for sending the ejected coins to the coin outlet 2, and 16 a polishing belt 4 A winding drum is rotated by a motor (not shown). Reference numeral 17 denotes a winding drum of the polishing belt 5, which is rotated by a motor (not shown). 1
8 is a polishing belt roll around an unused polishing belt 4 impregnated with an abrasive and a disinfectant, 19 is a polishing belt roll around an unused polishing belt 5 impregnated with an abrasive and a disinfectant, 20 is a guide roller for the polishing belts 4 and 5, 21 is a discharge chute plate, and 22 is a coin.

In this embodiment, the coin 2 which is dirty when used
2 is stored in the coin collection hopper 1 and the coin outlet 1
The coins 22 are discharged one by one from 4. The discharged coin 22 is sent to the coin discharge path 2 together with the feeding of the endless belt 15 while being pressed by the belt surface of the endless belt 15. The coins 22 are detected and counted by a coin counter 3 using an optical sensor provided in the coin discharge path 2. Thereafter, the coin 22 is inserted between the pair of upper and lower polishing belts 4 and 5. The polishing belts 4 and 5 are pressed against the lower polishing belt guide block 7 by the pressing plate 6, and the coin 22 is pressed against the polishing belts 4 and 5. Moreover, the side end of the coin 22 is sandwiched between the endless belt 10 and the pressing side wall plate 12 arranged in the front and rear, and the endless belt 10 is
The coin 22 is forcibly moved in the discharging direction with the rotation of.

Thus, the coin 22 is forcibly fed while being rubbed by the surfaces of the pair of upper and lower polishing belts 4, 5. As a result, dirt, oil, dust, cigarette tar, etc. on the surface of the coin 22 are removed by the polishing belts 4 and 5 impregnated with an abrasive and a disinfectant. (See Figures 3 and 4). After passing between the upper and lower polishing belts 4 and 5, the coin 22 is guided by the discharge chute plate 21 and drops downward to be discharged.
Here, when the polishing belts 4 and 5 become dirty, the take-up drum 1
6 and 17 are rotated to wind up the polishing belts 4 and 5 for a required length to make the belt surface of the polishing belt having the coin forced feeding means 9 an unused surface.

The polishing belts 4 and 5 are not used in a stopped state as in the present embodiment, but both ends of the polishing belts 4 and 5 are wound around a winding drum which can be driven to rotate, and the coins as shown in FIG. A method of polishing the polishing belts 4 and 5 by reciprocating the polishing belts 4 and 5 a plurality of times while keeping 22 stationary, a method of moving only one polishing belt 4 while forcibly feeding the coin 22 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, there is a method of stopping the coin 22 and moving the upper and lower polishing belts 4 and 5 in opposite directions, and the like, and the like. The present invention also includes these aspects.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, dirt, fat, sweat, dust, etc. of coins can be continuously and swiftly and reliably by a small device without using a special water tank and drying means. It has an excellent effect that it can be removed.
