Moreover, in this invention, a member means the structural material which comprises each structural part.
[0004]
And as shown in FIG. 9, the structure (henceforth, hereinafter) which attached the banknote conveying apparatus 300 for conveying the banknote 100 inserted as loan consideration of the game ball used for the game of the pachinko machine B to the pachinko stand island apparatus 500 (henceforth, The first prior art is well known.
[0005]
In FIG. 9, the pachinko platform device 500 has a plurality of pachinko platforms B divided into a front row side and a rear row side, and a game ball used for the pachinko platform B at a required location between the pachinko platforms B, That is, the portion of the sub-transport path S for transporting the banknote 100 inserted in the ball lending apparatus (the whole apparatus is not shown) for lending pachinko balls to the main transport path M is configured in one block shape. The sub-carrying part C is arranged. In the present invention, the upstream side or the downstream side means the upstream side or the downstream side of the flow of banknotes 100 in the main transport path M or a storage transport path K in the banknote storage device 200 described later.
[0006]
Moreover, the banknote 100 from said sub conveyance part C joins in the space part between the pachinko stand B of the front row side, and the pachinko stand B of the back row side, and the main conveyance part 4 conveys it. The banknote conveyance which comprised the banknote storage apparatus 200 which arrange | positions a structure continuously and accommodates the banknote 100 inserted into the accommodation conveyance path K from the delivery port M1 of the terminal conveyance part E of the terminal of the main conveyance path M was comprised. A device 300 is arranged.
[0007]
Here, the front row and the rear row are for explaining the configuration in an easy-to-understand manner, and do not refer to the relationship with the state in which the device is arranged. Further, a configuration in which the pachinko machine B is arranged only on the front row side or the rear row side (hereinafter referred to as the second prior art) is also well known.
[0008]
In addition, the conveyance in the sub conveyance part C is driven by the drive motor provided in the sub conveyance part C, and the conveyance in the main conveyance part 4 and the terminal conveyance part E is via an interlocking mechanism (not shown). It is driven by a drive motor provided in the merging and conveying portion 2.
[0009]
When the banknote 100 is being transported to the main transport path M, the driving motor of the sub transport portion C located downstream of the transport position is stopped so that the transport of the banknotes 100 does not overlap. The control part (not shown) of the conveyance part C and the control part (not shown) of the confluence conveyance part 2 are controlling.
[0010]
9 and 10, the bill storage device 200 is arranged outside the outer box 50 of the pachinko stand island device 500, and the outside of the bill storage device 200 is covered with a theft protection cover box 120. It is.
[0011]
As the configuration of the banknote storage device 200, the configuration of the banknote storage device 200 as shown in FIG. 10 (hereinafter referred to as third conventional technology) is well known. In FIG. 10, the banknote 100 inserted into the storing and conveying path K from the delivery port M1 of the terminal conveying portion is taken in by the opposing rollers 111A and 111B arranged at the entrance 110a, and the conveying belt 112 and the roller inside. It is configured to be conveyed by 112A, rollers 112B and 112C, and further conveyed by opposing rollers 114A and 114B while being guided by guide pieces 113A and 113B.
[0012]
The driving mechanism of these transport mechanisms is driven by a drive motor 112Z provided inside the bill storage device 200 and a transmission mechanism (not shown) such as a gear transmission mechanism and a belt transmission mechanism, and the transport belt 112 is transported. The belt 112 is driven and one of the pulleys 112D and 112E is driven as a driving side.
[0013]
Then, identification is performed based on a detection signal obtained by a detection configuration provided by an identification detector 115 provided in the next order of the opposing rollers 111A and 111B, for example, a combination of a light-emitting diode for transmitted light and a phototransistor for light reception. A detection control portion (not shown) is configured to identify the type of the banknote 100, for example, the type of a 1000 yen banknote and a banknote other than the 1000 yen banknote, and store the banknote in a storage location corresponding to that type. ing.
[0014]
When the banknote 100 is identified as a first type, for example, a 1000-yen banknote by the above identification, when the push mechanism 116 and the first storage mechanism 117 arranged at the location of the conveyor belt 112 are reached. Then, each transport mechanism is stopped, and the pushing mechanism 116 pushes the thin piece 100 in the direction (arrow C) crossing the transport direction and stores it in the storage mechanism 117. That is, the push-in mechanism 116 and the first storage mechanism 117 constitute the first storage portion 210.
[0015]
