It is a third object of the present invention to provide a hardening apparatus which is cheap and highly reliable, in which imported purification can be suspended, and the storage and return ports of the suspended purification are disposed on the lower surface of the apparatus.

In order to achieve this object, the coin processing device according to the present invention is configured as follows. The authenticity of the coin C placed in the inlet 104 disposed at the upper part is discriminated, and the coin is sorted into import coin (TC) and return coin (FC), and the import coin is transferred from the import port 312 to the holding part 124. In the hardening processing apparatus which imported and withheld, and the said holding hardening is selectively supplied to the receiving opening 106 or the return opening 108, the said receiving opening and the said return opening are formed in the lower surface of the apparatus adjacent to the radial direction of the imported hardening. The holding portion is disposed above the storage opening and the return opening, and is composed of a three-dimensional holding chamber 126 by at least the bottom plate 212, the movable surface holder 214, and the movable column holder 216. The bottom plate is inclined toward the receiving port side and inclined toward the return port side, and the movable surface holder is formed from the surface holding position SP and the bottom plate which constitute the movable holding surface having a predetermined angle with respect to the bottom plate. Distant rain It is selectively movable to the holding position NSP, and the movable main holder is disposed on the receiving side with respect to the bottom plate, and holds the curing position SP2 and the curing for holding the curing in the holding chamber. And is selectively movable to a non-holding position (NSP2) that permits movement to the storage port.

In the said hardening processing apparatus, this invention WHEREIN: The directivity body 313 which extends to the lower side of the said import port is located above the movable surface holder, and extends below the said import port at a predetermined interval with respect to the said import port.

It is arrange | positioned so that it may be in contact with the said hardening on the said movable surface holding body side rather than the waterline TL which passes through the point TP, and above the center G of hardening on the said bottom plate. desirable.

In addition, the present invention is to determine the authenticity of the hardening put into the inlet disposed in the upper portion to sort by import hardening and return hardening, the import hardening is imported from the inlet to the holding unit and withheld, the holding hardening to the storage or return port In the coin processing device for selectively supplying, the detection passage 112 which extends perpendicularly to the said inlet opening, the coin detection sensor 114 arrange | positioned adjacent to the detection passage, and the distribution extended obliquely downward from the detection passage A passage 116, a return passage 118 that extends down to the distribution passage, a return opening 108 at the lower end of the return passage, and a storage opening 106 formed downward downward adjacent to the radial direction of the imported coin of the return passage. ), A distribution body 122 freely placed in the distribution passage, a holding part 124 disposed below the distribution body, following the distribution body, The holding portion is disposed above the storage port and the return port, and further includes a three-dimensional holding room constituted by at least a bottom plate, a movable surface holder and a movable main holder, wherein the bottom plate is inclined toward the storage port and is returned. Inclined to a spherical side, the movable surface holding body is selectively movable to a surface holding position constituting a movable holding surface having a predetermined angle with respect to the bottom plate and a non-surface holding position away from the bottom plate, wherein the movable main holding body Is disposed on the storage side with respect to the bottom plate, and is selectively movable to a main holding position for holding the curing in the holding chamber and to a non-holding holding position allowing movement of the curing to the storage opening. It is preferable that it is a device.

The hardening put into the inlet arranged in the upper part is authenticity discriminated based on the data acquired by the hardening detection sensor, the falsification which is not imported is guided to a return opening, and the purification which should be imported is guided to a holding room, and is suspended.

The holding chamber is located above the storage port and the return port disposed on the lower surface, and is constituted three-dimensionally by at least the bottom plate, the movable surface holder and the movable main holder.

The bottom plate is inclined toward the storage port side and is inclined to the return port side.

The hardening of which the lower end of the main surface is supported on the bottom plate has a moving force in the inclined direction of the two directions by its own weight.

The lower surface of the return opening side of the holding coin, on which the lower end of the main surface is supported on the bottom plate, is positioned at the face holding position, and is supported by the movable holding surface of the movable surface holding body that forms a predetermined angle with respect to the bottom plate, Stay oblique.

Then, the cure supplied to the holding room is sequentially held while the lower surface is in surface contact with the upper surface of the reserved cure.

The main surface of the storage port side of the retention hardening which the lower end of the main surface is supported on the bottom plate is hold | maintained by the movable main holding body arrange | positioned at the said storage port side with respect to the said bottom board located in a main hold position.

When the movable surface holder moves to the non-surface hold position away from the bottom plate, the hardening slides off due to the inclination of the bottom plate, falls between the bottom plate and the movable main holder, and returns to the return port.

When the movable main holder moves to the non-holding position, the holding hardening rolls in the circumferential direction by the inclination of the bottom plate and falls to the storage port.

As a result, the retention hardening can fall from the storage port or the return port located on the lower surface of the coin processing device, thereby providing a retention type coin processing device compatible with the size of the standard stand.

In addition, since the holding hardening supported on the sole plate slides along the inclination of the sole plate, it can be smoothly moved and does not cause coin jam.

Thereby, hardening to be hold | maintained is hold | maintained in the surface contact with the movable holding surface certainly.

As a result, the holding coin is held in a predetermined posture, and there is an advantage that the predetermined number of sheets can be withheld at all times since there is no reduction in the holding room volume due to the abnormal holding.

Moreover, since hardening falls on the movable surface holding body by the directing body and the deflecting surface, since a hardening hold | maintenance part can be arrange | positioned directly under the hardening import opening, the magnitude | size of the hardening hit direction does not increase. There is an advantage that it can achieve, and it can be set as a compact hardening processing apparatus.

Moreover, according to this invention, hardening information for position determination is acquired by the hardening detection sensor in the process of falling down the detection path which the hardening | curing in which the hardening | curing inject | poured into the upper surface perpendicularly | vertically extends, and is determined based on the said information.

Input hardening which advances the distribution channel | path based on the said authenticity determination is guided to a return channel by a distribution apparatus, and is returned from a return port in the case of a falsification.

In the case of purification, the purification guided by the distribution device to the purification passage is held in a holding room below the distribution device.

The holding chamber is located above the storage port and the return port disposed on the lower surface, and is constituted three-dimensionally by at least the bottom plate, the movable surface holder and the movable main holder.

The bottom plate is inclined toward the storage port and inclined toward the return port.

The hardening of which the lower end of the main surface is supported on the bottom plate has a moving force in the inclined direction of the two directions by its own weight.

The surface of the return opening side of hardening which the lower end of the main surface is supported on the bottom plate is located in the face holding position, is supported by the movable holding surface of the movable surface holding body which is acute with respect to the bottom plate, and is maintained diagonally with respect to the horizontal line. do.

Subsequently, the purification supplied to the holding chamber is sequentially held in a state in which the lower peripheral surface comes into contact with the upper surface of the holding purification and slips off, and then the lower surface is in contact with the upper surface of the lower purification.

The main surface of the storage port side of hardening which the lower end of the main surface is supported on the bottom plate is hold | maintained by the movable main holding body arrange | positioned at the said storage port side with respect to the said bottom board located in a main hold position.

When the movable surface holder moves to the non-surface hold position away from the bottom plate, the retention purge slides off the bottom plate by the inclination of the bottom plate, falls from between the bottom plate and the movable surface holder, and returns to the return port. .

When the movable main holder moves to the non-holding position, the purged purge rolls in the circumferential direction by the inclination of the bottom plate and falls to the storage port.

Therefore, the retention purification can fall from the storage port or the return port located on the lower surface of the coin processing device, thereby realizing a compatible retention type coin processing device in the size of the standard stand.

In addition, since the hardening supported on the bottom plate slides down along the inclination of the bottom plate, or only rolls, it is possible to move smoothly and does not cause coin jam.

Moreover, since it is comprised by the inclination plate, the movable surface holding body, and the movable main holding body, the structure is simple and a small and inexpensive hardening processing apparatus can be realized.

It has a function of sliding down.

The bottom plate 212 is a flat plate that is inclined from the first establishment guide wall 162 to the storage opening 106 side and inclined toward the return opening 108 side.

It is preferable that the inclination of the bottom plate 212 toward the storage port 106 has a downward inclination of about 45 so that the purification TC can slide in the horizontal direction by its own weight.

In other words, the bottom plate 212 is formed as a downwardly inclined surface that becomes a front side downward as it moves away from the center portion 136.

Since the inclination of the bottom plate 212 toward the return port 108 may be an inclination that the purification TC can roll due to its own weight, an inclination of 20 degrees to 30 degrees is preferable.

In other words, the bottom plate 212 is formed in the inclined surface downward toward the storage opening 106 side.

Next, the movable surface holder 214 will be described.

The movable surface retainer 214 is in the shape of a rectangular plate, and the lower end thereof is farther away from the tip of the bottom plate 212 by a distance less than or equal to the thickness of the minimum hardening, and also has a predetermined angle, preferably with respect to the bottom plate 212. The surface holding position SP and the lower end constituting the acutely movable movable surface 215 are selectively movable from the bottom plate 212 to the non-surface holding position NSP away from the thickness of the last curing. .

In other words, when the movable surface holding body 214 is located at the surface holding position SP, the purification plate TC inclined at an acute angle with respect to the horizontal line and slid by the inclination of the bottom plate 212 is the bottom plate 212. ), And when it is located at the surface retention position NSP, the purification TC can slide on the bottom plate 212 by gravity and fall from its tip.

The dropped purification TC drops to the second return hole 220 formed in parallel with the first return hole 186.

The first return port 186 and the second return port 220 are finally combined to form one return port 108.

The movable surface retainer 214 is moved from the movable restricting plate 146 by the support shaft 218 protruding in the horizontal direction from the upper end side, so that the lower end can approach and separate the lower end of the bottom plate 212. The rotational movement is freely attached to the 1st support plate 222 and the 2nd support plate 224 which protrude in parallel and space apart.

The bottom plate 212 is also disposed between the lower end portions of the first support plate 222 and the second support plate 224.

The movable surface holding body 214 is selectively moved to the surface holding position SP and the surface holding position NSP by the surface holding apparatus 132.

When the movable surface holder 214 is located at the surface hold position SP, the purification TC is held in a state in which the lower surface thereof is in surface contact with the movable surface holder 214 and is inclined at an acute angle with respect to the horizontal line.

Subsequent purge TC slides off the upper surface of the held purge TC, and is then suspended in the inclined state where the upper surface of the lower purge TC is in contact with the lower surface thereof.

The movable main holder 216 is disposed on the storage port 106 side with respect to the bottom plate 212, and the storage port of the main hold position SP2 and the purification TC that hold the purification TC in the holding chamber 126. It is selectively movable to the non-holding position NSP2 allowing movement to 106.

In other words, when the movable main holder 216 is located at the main hold position SP, the purification TC on the bottom plate 212 has a force rolling toward the movable main holder 216 by its inclination. However, it is blocked by the movable main holder 216 and is stopped on the bottom plate 212, and as a result, is held in the holding chamber 126.

The movable main holder 216 has a main body (from the tip of the lever 228 whose rotational movement is freely supported by the support shaft 226 whose one end projects obliquely downward from the vicinity of the left flange 138 of the movable restricting plate 146). A step pin 232 extending toward the center portion 136 side of 102.

When the step pin 232 is located at the main hold position SP2, since the step pin 232 is located above the bottom plate 212 at a distance corresponding to approximately a radius of the diameter of the hold purge TC, the hold purge TC Stays in the holding room 126.

When the step pin 232 is located at the non-holding position NSP, the step pin 232 moves above the maximum diameter of the hold purge TC with respect to the bottom plate 212, so that the hold purge TC is The top plate 212 is rotated to fall on the storage opening 106.

The movable main holder 216 is selectively moved to the main hold position SP2 or the non-main hold position NSP2 by the main surface holding apparatus 134.

Next, the surface holding apparatus 132 is demonstrated.

The surface holding device 132 has a function of selectively moving the movable surface holding body 214 to the surface holding position SP and the surface holding position NSP.

The face holding device 132 includes a second electronic actuator 230 and a second link 232.

In the second electromagnetic actuator 230, the second solenoid 236 is fixed to the surface side of the movable restricting plate 146 by the second bracket 234.

The second iron core 238 of the second electronic actuator 230 is linked to the second link 232.

The second iron core 238 is pressed in the protruding direction (downward in FIG. 2) by the second spring 240.

As for the 2nd link 232, the pin 252 of the front-end | tip of the 2nd lever 244 which rotational movement supported freely by the support shaft 242 of the back surface of the movable surface holding body 214 is the 1st support plate 222 The rotation is freely inserted into the shaft hole 250 at the tip of the third lever 248 fixed to the support shaft 246 where the rotation is freely passed through the shaft hole (not shown).

A first end of the pin 254 extending through the long hole (not shown) of the first support plate 222 from the side surface of the third lever 248 is installed in a linear motion along the first support plate 222. It is inserted into the groove 258 of the slider 256.

The first slider 258 is moved by the second iron core 238 in a predetermined stroke in an upward and downward direction in FIG. 2.

When the second solenoid 236 is elementary, the second iron core 238 is moved downward by the second spring 240 and the pin 252 is moved downward with the first slider 256 interposed therebetween. By doing so, it rotates in the counterclockwise direction in FIG.

Thereby, the 2nd lever 244 is moved to the left side via the 3rd lever 248, and as a result, the movable surface holding body 214 is hold | maintained in surface hold position SP.

In this case, it is preferable to configure the toggle action mechanism by configuring the pin 252 to stop beyond the straight line L2 connecting the support shafts 242 and 246.

This is because the movable surface holder 214 can be reliably held at the holding position SP even when an external force is applied.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the movable surface retainer 214 is moved by the second spring 238 to the holding position SP when the second solenoid 236 is demagnetized. Although the position is maintained by the toggle action mechanism, it is possible to set the toggle action mechanism to function when the second solenoid 236 is excited.

Next, the main surface holding apparatus 134 is demonstrated.

The main surface holding device 134 has a function of selectively moving the movable main holder 216 to the main hold position SP2 or the non-main hold position NSP2.

The main surface holding device 134 includes a third electronic actuator 272 and a third ring 274.

The third solenoid 278 of the third electromagnetic actuator 272 is fixed to the movable restricting plate 146 with the third bracket 276 interposed therebetween.

The third iron core 292 of the third electromagnetic actuator 272 is urged in the protruding direction by the third spring 294.

The third ring 274 has a second slider 296 fixed to the third iron core 292, and a fourth lever 302 freely attached to the fixed shaft 298 protruding from the movable restricting plate 146. , The shaft hole at the other end of the rod 306 in which one end is rotatably supported by the pin 305 of the lever 228 through which the fixing pin 304 protruding in the horizontal direction from the lower end of the fourth lever 302. (Not shown) is included.

The upper end of the fourth lever 302 is inserted into the second groove 308 of the second slider 296.

As a result, when the third solenoid 278 is demagnetized and the third iron core 292 is moved to the left in FIG. 2 by the third spring 294, the fourth lever 302 is counterclockwise. Rotationally, the lever 228 is rotated in a clockwise direction with the fixing pin 304, the rod 306, and the pin 305 interposed therebetween, so that the movable column holder 216 is held in the held position SP2. do.

When the third solenoid 278 is excited, since the third iron core 392 is pulled to the right in FIG. 2, the fourth lever 302 is rotated clockwise, and the lever 228 is counterclockwise. Since the movable main holder 216 moves out of the hold position SP2 and moves to the non-maintained position NSP2 because it is rotated, the purge purge TC on the bottom plate 292 is driven by its own weight to receive the storage opening 106. Fall).

Next, the alignment drop apparatus 310 is demonstrated.

When the purge TC falls from the purge inlet 312, which is the upper end of the purge passage 158, by the distributing body 122 and is held in the holding chamber 126, the sorting drop apparatus 310 must purify the purge ( TC) has the function of aligning in the thickness direction.

The alignment drop device 310 is a plate-like body parallel to the distributing body 122 in the establishing direction, and the lower end and the upper end of the directing body 313 and the directing body 313 extending below the distributing body 122. Includes a deflecting surface 314 facing.

The directing body 313 is a plate shape, and it is a plate-shaped object which distribute | disconnects the distribution body 122, ie, the purification | cleaning inlet 312 at predetermined intervals, and extends in a perpendicular direction.

The directing body 313 is preferably constituted by a transparent resin plate so that the movement state of the purification TC can be confirmed.

The deflection surface 314 is a wall surface of the holding chamber 126 side of the second establishment guide wall 164 below the purification inlet 312, and protrudes in an arc shape toward the movable surface holding body 214.

The most protruding surface of the deflection surface 314 is formed such that the water line L3 in contact with the surface intersects with the movable holding surface 215 located at the surface holding position SP.

Purification TC guided to the purifying passage 158 by the distributor 122 is guided and established downward by the directing body 313, and then the lower end falls on the movable holding surface 215. do.

As for the purification | cleaning TC which fell, the lower end slides on the movable holding surface 215, and the lower end of the main surface is supported on the bottom plate 212.

At this time, since the bottom plate 212 and the movable holding surface 214 form an acute angle, when the lower end of the purification TC moves away from the movable surface holding body 214, the bottom plate 212 slides on the bottom plate 212. And close to the movable holding surface 215.

As a result, since the center of gravity G is located on the movable surface holder 214 side than the rotation point TP on the bottom plate 212, the purification TC is directed to the movable surface holder 214 side. It falls and makes surface contact with the movable holding surface 215.

Even if the lower end of the purge TC falls on the bottom plate 212, the deflection surface 314 causes the purge TC on the bottom plate 212 to fall to the movable surface holder 214, so that it is held. Purification TC in the chamber 126 is suspended in surface contact with the movable holding surface 215.

Subsequent purge TC likewise falls onto the hold purge TC and is similarly suspended.

Thereby, the retention purification | cleaning TC is aligned and hold | maintained in the thickness direction of purification | cleaning TC in the surface contact state.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.

The case where the coin processing device 100 of the present embodiment is built in a game machine and the one-time fee is set to 150 yen will be described.

In other words, it is the case of setting that game is possible only when one 100 yen cure and five 10 yen cure are imported, or when one 100 yen cure and one 50 yen cure are imported.

Therefore, when 10 yen, 50 yen, and 100 yen are put in, imports as purification (TC), hardening and medals other than that are returned as counterfeit (FC).

When the power is not turned on, the first solenoid 204, the second solenoid 236, and the third solenoid 278 remain as they are.

In other words, the distribution body 122 is held in the return position CP, the movable surface holder 214 is held in the hold position SP, and the movable main holder 216 is held in the hold position SP2. do.

When the purification is input in this state, since the coin detection sensor 114 does not output the coin information, the first solenoid 204 is not excited and continues the return position CP.

Therefore, the injected purge TC and the counterfeit FC pass through the return passage 118 and fall from the first return port 186 and the return port 108 and are returned to the return tray (not shown) of the game machine.

Then, when the power is turned on, the curing detection sensor 114 is in a curing detection ready state, but the first solenoid 204, the second solenoid 236, and the third solenoid 278 continue the device state.

First, when the counterfeit FC is thrown in, the hardening information is acquired by the coin detecting sensor 114 in the process of dropping the detection passage 112, and the discriminating apparatus 150 displaces the counterfeit FC based on the acquired hardening information. Is determined.

In the case of counterfeit FC, the first solenoid 204 of the first electromagnetic actuator 196 is not excited.

As a result, the distributing body 122 continues the return position CP so that the counterfeit FC passes through the return passage 118 and falls from the first return port 186 and the return port 108 to the return tray. Is returned.

We explain case that put correct 100 yen hardening.

On the basis of the coincidence information acquired by the coincidence detection sensor 114 in the process of dropping the detection passage 112, the discrimination apparatus 150 determines that it is purification (TC) of 100 yen, and the 1st electronic actuator 196 Excite the first solenoid 204 for a predetermined time.

Thereby, since the 1st iron core 206 is moved to the right side in FIG. 2, the distribution body 122 is pivoted across the 1st link 198, and it moves to the import position RP.

Purification TC which drives the distribution passage 116 is guided to the purification passage 158 by the distribution body 122 located in the import position RP.

After a sufficient time for the purge TC to move to the purge passage 158, the first solenoid 204 is demagnetized and the distributor 122 is returned to the return position CP.

The purification TC guided to the purification passage 158 is guided by the directing body 313 of the alignment drop apparatus 310 to be directed to the lower holding chamber 126 and is in an established state.

Purification TC is guided above the movable surface holding body 214 by the deflection surface 314.

Therefore, the purification TC falls on the movable surface holder 214 in the established state.

The purification TC dropped on the movable surface holding body 214 is supported by the bottom plate 212 by sliding its lower end on the movable holding surface 215.

The main surface of purification | cleaning TC is prevented from rolling by the inclination of the bottom plate 212 by the step pin 232 which is the movable main support body 216, and stays in the holding room 126. As shown in FIG.

As a result, the purification TC is held in the holding chamber 126 in surface contact with the movable holding surface 215.

Subsequently, when the correct 50 yen hardening is introduced, it is guided to the purification | cleaning passage 158 as mentioned above by the distribution body 122, and guided by the directing body 313 and the deflection surface 314, and the substantially established state is It falls on the upper surface of 100 yen hardening of reservation.

As a result, the lower end of the 50-yen purge TC slides on the 100-yen purge upper surface, and the main surface is supported by the bottom plate 212, and the lower surface is suspended in the surface contact state with the upper surface of the 100-yen hardening.

Since 150 yen was reserved by the holding room 126 by this, the discrimination apparatus 150 outputs a game enable signal to a game machine.

If purge TC is input after outputting the game enable signal, the purge TC is returned from the return port 108 as described above as a counterfeit.

When the correct 10 yen curing is added following 100 yen purification (TC), the lower surface is held in contact with the upper surface of the 100 yen curing in the holding chamber 126 by the bottom plate 212 as in the case of 50 yen curing. .

Subsequent 10 yen purification TC is also arranged in the thickness direction and held in the holding chamber 126.

When 5 sheets of 10 yen coins are added, the total amount is 150 yen, so the discriminating device 150 outputs a game playable signal as described above.

When 10-yen hardening is added following 100-yen hardening, when 50-yen or 100-yen hardening is injected thereafter, it is determined as counterfeit (FC) and returned from the return port 108. This is to prevent excessive collection.

When the player gives a start instruction to the game machine, the third solenoid 278 of the third electronic actuator 272 is excited for a predetermined time.

By excitation of the third solenoid 278, since the third iron core 292 is moved to the right in FIG. 2, the second slider 296 is also moved in the same direction, and the fourth lever 302 is rotated clockwise. Is moved.

The rotation of the fourth lever 302 causes the lever 228 to rotate in a counterclockwise direction with respect to the support shaft 226 with the rod 306 interposed therebetween, and the step pin 232 moves to the non-holding position ( NSP2).

As a result, 100 yen, 50 yen, or 10 yen curing in the holding chamber 126 is transmitted to its own weight by the inclination of the bottom plate 212 and passes through the storage passage 160 to fall into the storage opening 106. .

The third solenoid 278 is demagnetized after sufficient time has elapsed for the drop of the retention purge TC from the holding chamber 126, and the step pin 232 is returned to the holding position SP2 again.

If the player does not play the game, a return operation is made.

By the return operation, the second solenoid 236 of the second electromagnetic actuator 230 is excited for a predetermined time.

The excitation of the second solenoid 236 causes the second iron core 238 to move upward in FIG. 2, so that the first slider 256 also moves in the same direction.

As a result, since the lever 248 is rotated in the clockwise direction in FIG. 5, the movable surface retainer 214 is moved to the non-surface hold position NSP.

The retention purge TC in the holding chamber 126 is rolled down to the movable surface holder 214 by the inclination of the bottom plate 212, and is returned to the second from the bottom plate 212 and the movable surface holder 214. The ball 220 and the return port 108 are dropped and returned to the return tray.

In other words, it may return a hold purge (TC).
