Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an automatic pachinko ball lending machine in the form of a vending machine that automatically lends out pachinko balls, and in particular, inserts coins only by purely mechanical means without using any electrical means. An automatic pachinko machine capable of automatically dispensing a predetermined number of pachinko balls according to the amount of money, and also capable of dispensing a number of pachinko balls corresponding to each denomination in response to the insertion of coins of two different denominations. Regarding ball rental machines.

In recent years, pachinko balls that are lent out in predetermined quantities at pachinko parlors have come to be lent out using pachinko ball rental machines in the form of vending machines as pachinko parlors save labor.

As the supply and collection of pachinko balls tend to be centrally controlled, pachinko ball rental machines are also incorporated into a series of pachinko ball supply systems, and are installed between pachinko machines when they are installed, saving space. In addition, pachinko balls can be rented at nearby locations.

Even with this type of pachinko ball rental machine, the first condition is to accurately dispense the amount of balls according to the coins inserted, and at the same time, it must always operate accurately and without any breakdowns. Be requested.

However, in the conventional pachinko ball rental machines mentioned above, the operation of dispensing a predetermined number of pachinko balls after the sorting of the inserted coins is completed is done using electrical means such as electromagnets. Electrical work had to be carried out.

Therefore, not only does the manufacturing cost of pachinko ball rental machines increase, the installation work of the pachinko machine depends on the construction period of the electrical wiring work, and furthermore, in the event of an electrical failure, it is difficult to get the help of a specialist engineer. However, there were various problems such as not being easy to repair.

On the other hand, when high-value coins (for example, 500 yen) are put into circulation, in addition to the conventional 100 yen coin, 500 yen coins are distributed.
It is necessary to make it possible to lend balls using yen coins.

In view of this, the present invention configures the ball detection mechanism of an automatic pachinko ball lending machine by purely mechanical means, enables it to start operating as soon as it is installed in a store, and makes it possible to provide the ball lending machine itself at a low cost. , an automatic pachinko ball rental system that can accurately dispense the number of pachinko balls according to the denominations of each denomination, while simplifying and significantly shortening the installation work at stores. This was done for the purpose of providing an opportunity.

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

The example shown in the figure has two coins, a 100 yen coin and a 500 yen coin.
This shows a case where the configuration corresponds to the denomination.For convenience of explanation, the hardened coins are collectively referred to as coins C, a 100 yen coin is represented by coin C100, a 500 yen coin is represented by coin C500, and in order of precedence, C101, C101, ClO2...
......, and C501, C502...
It is represented by...

In addition, members related to the 100 yen coin and members related to the 500 yen coin that correspond to or are similar to each other are distinguished by adding the code "A" for the 100 yen coin and rBl for the 500 yen coin. Separate.

The facing sides are formed into arcuately recessed coin fitting parts 38A and 38B in which a part of the coins C100 and C500 can be engaged, and the lower part is suspended by its own weight along the outer surface of the side wall part of the coin passages 30A and 30B. At the time of hanging, the coin fitting portion 38A
, 38B upper ends 38A', 38B' are coin passage 30A
, 30B, and the lower end 38A", 3
8B'' is constructed to inevitably enter into the coin passages 30A and 30B to prevent the coins C101 to C501 from falling.

The shaft 37 is attached to the coin stopper 36A for the 100 yen coin.
On the lower side surface of the coin stopper 36B for the 500 yen coin, locking protrusions 39 and 40 are respectively provided at shoulder portions above the shaft 37.

The coin stopper lock levers 41A, 41B are coaxially supported by a shaft 42, and these lock levers 41A, 41B are coaxially supported by a shaft 42.

Further, the tip of the release lever 48B is a lock lever 41B.
The lower end faces the back of the hanging part of the cam 53 on the shaft 50.
It comes into contact with a.

The engagement positional relationship, operation timing, etc. of each of the above-mentioned members will be explained in detail later when explaining the operation.

The dispensing mechanism for dispensing 500 yen worth of pachinko balls using a 500 yen coin operates the dispensing mechanism using a 100 yen coin five times, and is equipped with a counting mechanism that counts the number of operations.

This counting mechanism includes a mechanism that locks with a ball counter stopper 31B when the ball counter stop plate 26 has thrown out 100 yen worth of pachinko balls five times.

That is, it is rotatably attached to the machine frame 15 by a shaft 50, and five pins 51, 51, . The notch 52 has an arm portion 540 extending around the rotary plate 530 of the 500 yen ball counter stopper 31B, and a protrusion 55 protruding from the rotary plate 53 side. are engageable, and when engaged, the rotary plate 53 is restrained from rotating.

Further, the rotary plate 53 is attached to the ball counter stopper 31B.
A positioning lever 56 is pivoted and biased toward the pin 51 by a spring.

On the other hand, the operating lever 57 that rotates the rotary plate 53 is
The intermediate portion thereof is pivoted by the shaft 49, forming a downward U-shape, and is biased counterclockwise in the figure by a spring 57a.

This operating lever 57 has the pins 51, 51...
A feed pawl 58 that engages with the pin 51 to feed it clockwise one pitch at a time and intermittently rotates the rotary plate 53 is pivoted and biased by a spring in the direction of engaging the pin 51. There is.

The other end of the actuating lever 57 is disposed at a position where it is pushed by a protrusion of a cam 59 on the shaft 19, and when the cam 59 rotates clockwise in the figure, the feed pawl 58 moves the pin 51 one pitch. It is designed to send minutes.

In addition, in the drawing of the operating lever 570, the left downward end is the upper surface 31A of the 100 yen ball counter stopper 31A.
The left side portion of the operating lever 57 (in the illustrated example, the pivot of the feed claw 58) rests on the upper end of the arm portion 54 of the 500 yen ball counter stopper 31B to stop its descent. .

Therefore, when the ball counter stopper 31B swings downward and its arm portion 54 comes off, the operating lever 57 rotates counterclockwise due to the action of the spring 57a, and the ball counter stopper 31A for 100 yen is moved downward. It is designed to oscillate.

In the figure, 60 is a governor for the ball counter plate 16, and 61 is an outlet for discharging fraudulent coins.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

When pachinko balls are being supplied to the automatic pachinko ball rental machine, the pachinko balls fill the ball passages 2a, 2b and 2c, and reach the ball counter plate 16.

At this time, as shown in the third diagram, the ball detection device 5 engages the claw 31A' of the ball counter stopper 31A with the stepped portion 27 of the ball counter stop plate 260, and the ball counter stopper 31B
The protrusion 55 is engaged with the cutout 52 of the rotary plate 53, and since the ball counter stop plate 26 is restrained, the gear 25 integrated therewith is in a locked state, and the ball counter stop plate 16 is locked. is restrained from rotating.

Therefore, even if the load of the pachinko balls is applied to the teeth of the ball counter plate 16, the ball counter plate 16 remains stationary without rotating.

At the same time, the swinging rod 7 is moved by the pachinko balls in the ball passage 2c.
Since the ball detecting part 12 is pushed and pushed out of the passage 2c, the shielding part 10 at the opposite end is removed from the coin slot 9, and at the same time, a display 13 indicating "Rental" appears in the window hole 14, Indicates that it is available for use.

In this state, 100 yen and 500 yen coins C
100, C500 is inserted into the coin slot 9, it passes through the coin passage 3 and enters the coin sorter 4, where it is determined whether or not it is a proper coin. The coin is fed into the coin path 30, and if it is a fraudulent coin, it is returned from the outlet 61.

And 100 yen coin C100 and 500 yen coin C
500 are distributed and taken into dedicated coin passages 30A and 30B, respectively.

Now there are multiple 100 yen coins C101, ClO2...
...and 500 yen coins C501, C502...
. . . will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8.

When the 100 yen coin C101 falls down the coin passage 30A in advance, it temporarily enters the coin fitting part 38A of the coin stopper 36A as shown in FIG. 8A, but the coin C101
Since the lower end 38A'' of the fitting portion 38A is pushed by the own weight of the coin stopper 36A, the coin stopper 36A is attached to the axis
7 in the counterclockwise direction to pass the coin C101.

Due to this rotation of the coin stopper 36A, the lower protrusion 44 of the lock Lenony 41A comes off the protrusion 39 and falls, so the upper protrusion 43 of the lock lever 41A goes down and the protrusion of the 500 yen coin stopper 36B 40 will be hit, and therefore the inserted 500 yen coin C5
Even if the coin C501 enters the coin fitting part 3BB of the coin stopper 36B and attempts to rotate it, it does not rotate, and the coin C501 remains in the coin fitting part 3BB.

Further, after the 100 yen coin C101 falls as described above, the coin stopper 36A tries to rotate clockwise to the original hanging state due to its own weight, but the coin stopper 36A tries to rotate clockwise to the original hanging state.
The protrusion 39 of the lock lever 41A is obstructed by the protrusion 44 of the lock lever 41A and cannot return, so the upper end 38A' of the coin fitting part 38A is in a state of protruding into the coin passage 30A. After the coin ClO2, the receiver is stopped at the upper end 38A' (as shown in FIG. 8C).

The coin C101 that has passed through the coin fitting part 38A of the coin stopper 36A is moved to the ball counter stopper 31A, which is positioned with a required height with respect to the fitting part 38A.
The coin abutting portion 32A is accelerated and collides with force, and the impact causes the ball counter stopper 31A to swing counterclockwise about the shaft 33 (FIG. 5B).

In this case, the ball counter stopper 31A swings slowly and greatly due to the inertia of the initial movement of the weight 35.

The coin C101, which has oscillated and passed through the ball counter stopper 31A, falls onto the back side of the machine body 1 and is collected by a conveyor or the like (not shown).

When the ball counter stopper 31A swings counterclockwise as described above, the pawl 31A' comes off the stepped portion 27 of the ball counter stop plate 260, so that the ball counter stop plate 26 is momentarily moved to the extent that it contacts the stopper due to the action of the spring 290. 6B, the large diameter portion 28 enters a position where it can touch the rear end of the ball counter stopper 31A, and the ball counter stopper 31A
Even if it attempts to rotate back to its original position due to the action of the weight 35, it will not be able to return.

Due to the above action, the ball counter stop plate 26, which has been restrained by the ball counter stopper 31A,
The gear 25 on the shaft 24 including the gear 25 becomes rotatable.

Therefore, the ball counter plate 16, which had stopped receiving pachinko balls and remained stationary due to the non-rotation restraint of the gear 25, begins to rotate due to the weight of the pachinko balls, and the stepped portion 27 of the ball counter stop plate 26 is rotated as shown in FIG. 5A. The ball counter stopper 31A is rotated until it hits the rear end of the ball counter stopper 31A again.

When the ball detection mechanism starts rotating, the holding lever 47
2, the release lever 48A is pivoted counterclockwise around the shaft 49, and its upper end is moved to the position shown in Figure 8. Subsequently, the release lever 48A is rotated counterclockwise by the cam 23, and the lock lever 41A is pivoted. 42 in a clockwise direction.

As a result, the protrusion 40 of the coin stopper 36B and the protrusion 43 of the lock lever 41A also come off, and the coin stopper 36B is held by its own weight of the 500 yen coin C501 that was previously parked on the lower end 38B of the coin fitting part 38B. Rotate until it hits the lever 47.

The protrusion 45 of the lock lever 41B comes off from the protrusion 40 of the coin stopper 36B, and the tokiro lock lever 41B falls under its own weight.

At the same time, the coin stopper 36A is also moved to the lock lever 41.
It comes off the protrusion 44 of A, and the weight of the coin and the subsequent coin ClO
The coin stopper 3 moves to the position of the 8th figure due to the lateral force due to the weight of the coin ClO2, and the coin stopper 3 falls.
6A is pushed down until it hits the holding lever 47.

Therefore, the coins ClO2 and C501 enter and are held in the coin fitting portions 38A, 38B of the coin stoppers 36A, 36B.

As the ball detection mechanism continues to rotate, the release lever 48A disengages from the cam 23 and returns to its original position, causing the lock lever 41A to fall under its own weight and come to rest against the protrusion 40 of the coin stopper 36B (Fig. 8). E).

When the ball counter stop plate 26 rotates once and finishes throwing out pachinko balls worth 100 yen, the ball counter stop plate 26 is attached to the pawl 31A' of the ball counter stopper 31A.
The step 27 of No. 6 hits and stops its rotation, and the gear 25 is locked, so the ball counter plate 16 stops and the dispensing of pachinko balls is stopped.

As described above, when the pachinko balls have been thrown out, the holding lever 47 returns to its original position, so that the coin stopper 36B has its coin fitting portion 38B's lower end 38B'' pushed down by the weight of the coin C501 and moves inside the coin passage 30B. falling,
The ball collides vigorously with the coin abutting portion 32B of the ball counter stopper 31B that protrudes into the passage.

As a result, the ball counter stopper 31B swings counterclockwise around the shaft 34, and the protrusion 55 of the arm portion 54
is removed from the notch 52 of the rotary plate 53 and the upper end of the arm portion 54 is removed from the axis of the feed pawl 58, and the 5-rotation counting mechanism is unlocked.

At this time, the coin stopper 36A attempts to rotate due to the weight of the coin ClO2, but the protrusion 39 hits the protrusion 46 of the lock lever 41B and cannot rotate, leaving the coin ClO2 held (as shown in FIG. 8F). ).

Further, the coin stopper 36B tries to return to its original position when the coin C501 passes, but the protrusion 45 of the lock lever 41B
The protrusion 40 hits and stops as shown in Fig. 8G, so 500
Yen coins C502 are continuously inserted (but the upper end 38B' of the coin fitting part 38B of the coin stopper 36B
Since it is placed in a state where it protrudes into the coin passage 30B, it will not fall continuously.

On the other hand, when the 5-turn counting mechanism is unlocked as described above, the operating lever 57 is rotated counterclockwise around the shaft 49 by the spring 57a, so that the tip 57b at the lower left in the figure corresponds to the 100 yen ball. Press the top surface 31A'' of the counter stopper 31A, and as in the case of the 100 yen coin described above, the ball counter stop plate 260 step part 27
When it comes off, the lock is released and pachinko balls begin to be thrown.

At the same time, the right end side surface of the operating lever 57 is pushed leftward in the figure by the cam 59, so the operating lever 57 rotates clockwise, and the feed pawl 58 hooks one pin 51 and pulls it up. , rotates the rotating plate 53 by one pitch.

Each time the ball counter stop plate 16 rotates once, the operating lever 57 swings once, and the five pins 51, 51
Continue throwing out pachinko balls until you send out ......

However, at the fifth rotation, the holding lever 47 is swung counterclockwise by the cam 22, and the release lever 48A is rotated by the cam 22.
3, the lock lever 41A is lifted up, and after it is returned to its original position, the release lever 48B is swung counterclockwise by the cam 53a on the shaft 50 of the rotary plate 53, and the lock lever 48B is -41B is lifted, the protrusion 40 of the coin stopper 36B comes off the protrusion 45 of the lock lever 41B, and the coin C502 moves to the position shown in Fig. 8J due to its own weight and the lateral force due to the weight of the coin C502. enters the fitting part 38B,
The protrusion 40 of the coin stopper 36B is the lock lever 41A
It is pushed down until it hits the protrusion 43 of.

When the 5 rotation count mechanism advances further, the release lever 48B
As the lock lever 41B returns to its original position, the lock lever 41B falls under its own weight and stops against the protrusion 40 of the coin stopper 36B (as shown in FIG. 8).

When the 5-turn counting mechanism completes 5 operations, the holding lever 47 returns to its original position, so the coin stopper 36A holds the coin C.
It is pushed down by its own weight of 1O2 and rotates, returns from the eighth drawing to the state shown in FIG. 8C, and throws out pachinko balls worth 100 yen in the same manner as described above.

When the rotary plate 53 completes one rotation, the notch 52 comes to the position of the protrusion 55 of the ball counter stopper 31B, and the upper end of the arm part 54 of the ball counter stopper 31B is placed under the pivot of the feed pawl 58 of the operating lever 57. enters and engages with it, and the rotating plate 53 is restrained.

The rotational position of the rotary plate 530 was determined by a positioning lever 56.

Note that until the rotary plate 53 of the 5-rotation counting mechanism rotates 5 times due to the coin C501, the holding lever 47 and the release lever 4 are rotated every 1 rotation as in the case of the coin C101.
8A operates to move the lock lever 41A and coin stopper 36A, but there is no problem in holding subsequent coins.

As explained above, the automatic pachinko ball dispensing machine according to the present invention does not use any electrical means for dispensing a fixed amount of pachinko balls based on the insertion of coins, but only by mechanical means, thereby eliminating the need for electrical work. The ball rental machine can be installed at the same time as the pachinko machine without requiring any accessories, which significantly shortens the installation period, and it is extremely inexpensive as it does not use any electrical parts such as solenoids or magnets. Furthermore, there are no electrical failures, and maintenance is easy.

The energy for throwing out the pachinko balls is generated by using the impact force caused by the falling acceleration of the inserted coin, and by using the weight of the pachinko balls themselves to make them count and throw out, so there is no need for any other power source. The falling blade is used as a force to release the stop of the counting mechanism, so even small coins can be operated reliably.

In addition to the above basic effects, the present invention provides, for example, 10
To accurately throw out the number of pachinko balls corresponding to the denomination of each coin for two denominations of small and large denominations such as 0 yen coins and 500 yen coins according to the number of coins inserted. Therefore, there is no need to install separate ball lending machines for different denominations, thereby saving installation costs and eliminating wasted installation space.

Furthermore, the automatic ball lending machine for pachinko according to the present invention is based on a mechanism for dispensing a number of pachinko balls corresponding to small coins,
The number of coins corresponding to high-value coins is determined by changing the number of operations of the ball detection mechanism for small-value coins to the number of times corresponding to high-value coins, so the dispensing mechanism for each different denomination is set separately. There are various advantages such as the fact that the dispensing device does not need to be equipped, the structure of the dispensing device can be made extremely compact, and since each component can be obtained by molding a synthetic resin, it can be provided at an extremely low cost. .

In the illustrated embodiment, a 100 yen coin is used as a small denomination coin, and a 500 yen coin is used as a large denomination coin, but the amounts are not limited to these.

Further, the structure and shape of the constituent members of each part need not be limited to those shown in the drawings, and design changes may be made arbitrarily without departing from the technical idea of the present invention.
