However, due to wrinkles, stains, etc. on the banknotes, the banknotes are often jammed in the banknotes transport unit. When the banknotes are jammed, the jammed banknotes are moved to the outside of the banknotes transport unit. The number of banknotes stored in the banknote stack of the island management machine is the same as the number of banknotes removed by the banknote jamming at least from the count value by the banknotes insertion detection unit in order to return the conveyance of the banknotes after removal. There is a problem in that the number of bills collected by the island management machine cannot be accurately counted depending on the counting by the bill insertion detecting means.

The bills conveyed in the bill conveying unit are not all separated and conveyed one by one, but are sometimes connected to the bills conveyed from the upstream position on the way. The bills that flowed in from the bill inter-lens machine for bills overlapped with each other, and the bills were sometimes conveyed to the island management machine at the end of the island in a stacked state.

Therefore, the banknote counting means provided in the terminal island management machine counts two or more overlapping banknotes as a single banknote and accurately records the banknotes stored in the banknote stack of the island management machine. There was a problem that it could not be counted.

Further, if the count value of the bill counting means of the island management machine is smaller than the number of bills actually stored in the bill stack, a clerk or the like on the island will commit fraud in the bill conveying unit. However, the fraudulent act cannot be detected due to a counting error due to the overlapping of banknotes, and as a result, the fraudulent act is left unchecked, and accurate sales management cannot be performed.

In particular, since the amount of bills has become high recently, leaving the fraudulent act to a serious problem in sales management.

An object of the present invention is to prevent the banknotes from overlapping in the banknotes transporting unit and to transport the banknotes one by one in a separated state, whereby the banknotes counting means provided in the island management machine is used. Accurately count the banknotes, accurately count the banknotes stored in the banknote stack of the island management machine, prevent fraud, and accurately manage sales on the game island.

And the inflowing banknotes are prevented from overlapping with each other, and the banknotes that have been inserted into the banknote intermounting ball lending machine 3a and flow into the banknotes conveying unit 1 and the banknote intermounting ball lending newly. It is configured to prevent the banknotes that have been loaded into the machine 3 and flow into the banknote transport unit 1 from overlapping each other.

Next, the operation of the game island facility 50 of the present invention will be described with reference to the time chart of FIG.

At times T3 to T4, for example, neither the conveyance detection sensor 44 of the banknotes conveying unit 1 at the upstream position nor the insertion detection sensor 45a of the banknote inter-lens dispenser 3a at the opposite position detects a banknote. At this time, the banknote inter-lens ball lending machine 3 which is the object of lending at this time is in a state in which banknotes can be inserted.

At time T4, the transport detection sensor 44 of the upstream banknote transport unit 1 detects the transported banknote, and immediately the downstream interbank ball lending machine 3 for lending and 3a is prohibited from accepting banknotes.
Further, a time T1 is set from the time when the conveyance detection sensor 44 detects a banknote, and the prohibition of acceptance of the banknotes by the banknote inter-lens ball lending machines 3 and 3a is continued until the time T1 elapses. The time period T1 is a time period during which the conveyed banknotes are conveyed to the downstream positions of the banknote inter-mountain ball rental machines 3 and 3a, and the banknotes are temporarily accepted in the banknote inter-mountain ball rental machine 3 or 3a within the time. When the bills flow into the bill conveying unit 1, the bills and the bills overlap with each other. Even after the time T1 has elapsed, the bills will overlap even if the bills are accepted by the bill intermount ball lending machine 3 or 3a. There is no match.

Prohibition of acceptance of the banknote inter-lens ball lending machines 3 and 3a is carried out by an acceptance delay operation in which the banknote inter-lens ball lending machines 3 or 3a once accept the banknotes and immediately return the banknotes. , The acceptance delay operation is repeated during the time T1.

At time T6-T7, neither the conveyance detection sensor 44 of the banknotes conveying unit 1 at the upstream position nor the insertion detection sensor 45a of the interbank bill lending machine 3a for the banknotes at the opposite position detect a bill. At this time, the inter-banknote ball lending machine 3 for lending, which is the object of lending, is in a state in which it is possible to insert banknotes.

At time T8, a bill is inserted into the bill intermount ball lending machine 3a at the opposite position, and the insertion detection sensor 45a detects bills, and the bill intermount ball lender is immediately targeted for lending. No. 3 is prohibited from accepting banknotes. Further, the time T2 is set from the time when the insertion detection sensor 45a detects the banknote, and the prohibition of acceptance of the banknote by the banknote intermount ball lending machine 3 is continued until the time T2 elapses. The time period T2 is a time period during which the banknotes inserted into the opposed banknote stand ball lending machine 3a flow into the banknote transport unit 1 and are transported to the downstream position. When a bill is accepted by the machine 3, the bill and the bill overlap each other. Even after the time T2 has passed, the bill does not overlap even if the bill is accepted by the inter-lens dispenser 3 for bills.

The acceptance prohibition of the banknote inter-lens ball lending machine 3 is carried out by the acceptance delay operation in which the banknotes inter-mountain ball lending machine 3 once accepts the banknotes and immediately returns the banknotes. The operation is repeated during the time T2.

During the period from T9 to T10, both the conveyance detection sensor 44 of the banknotes conveying unit 1 at the upstream position and the insertion detection sensor 45a of the banknote inter-lens dispenser 3a at the opposite position are not detecting the banknote, At this time, the inter-banknote ball lending machine 3 for lending, which is the object of lending, is in a state in which it is possible to insert banknotes.

By the above operation, all the bills conveyed in the bill conveying unit 1 are conveyed one by one to the island management machine 40 at the end of the island, and are provided in the island management machine 40. It is stored in the bill stack 43. A bill counting sensor 46 is provided in front of the bill stack 43.
The number of banknotes stored in is accurately counted.

Next, the operation of the game island facility 50 of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 and 8.

First, when the program starts in FIG. 7, it is checked whether or not the detection signal of the conveyance detection sensor 44 of the bill conveyance unit 1 or the insertion detection sensor 45a of the opposed bill inter-lens dispenser 3a is ON. (Step n100). When the detection signal is input, it is first checked whether the detection signal is the conveyance detection signal transmitted from the conveyance detection sensor 44 (step n10).
1), when it is not the conveyance detection signal, the preceding detection signal is the detection signal from the input detection sensor 45a, and therefore B → B in the figure.
(FIG. 8). If it is a conveyance detection signal, the process proceeds to step n102, the timer T1 is set, and the bill acceptance prohibition signal of the bill inter-lens ball lending machines 3 and 3a at the downstream position which is the object of lending is output ( In step 103), the banknotes inserted into the banknote inter-lens ball lending machine 3 or 3a are subjected to an acceptance delay operation of acceptance / return.

After the bill acceptance prohibition signal is output, it is checked in step n104 whether time T1 has elapsed, and the process remains in step n104 until time T1 elapses. When the time T1 elapses, the process proceeds to step n105, and it is checked whether the conveyance detection sensor 44 detects the passage of the bill. When the conveyance detection sensor 44 does not detect the passage of the bill and the conveyance detection signal is not OFF, the bill is jammed in the conveyance detection sensor 44 portion, so the notification means is turned on (step n1).

Check that it is FF (step n10)
9). If the conveyance detection signal is not turned off, the jam of bills has not been recovered, and the process stops at step n109. When the conveyance detection signal is turned off, the notifying means is also turned off (step n110), the process proceeds from A to A in the figure, and the process returns to step n100.

At step n105, the conveyance detection signal is turned off.
When it is confirmed that the banknotes transported in the banknotes transport unit 1 have passed, the banknote acceptance prohibition signal issued to the downstream banknote interbank ball lending machines 3 and 3a is turned off, and the banknotes are transferred. The acceptance of banknotes between the platform ball lending machines 3 and 3a is restarted, and the gaming medium is lent. Then, the program shifts from A to A in the figure and returns to step n100.

Next, when the detection signal checked in step n101 is the insertion detection signal by the insertion detection sensor 45a provided in the opposing bill intermount ball lending machine 3a, the process proceeds to the subroutine of FIG. At step n100, it is confirmed that the detection signal whose input is confirmed is the closing detection signal. After the confirmation, the bill acceptance prohibition signal of the opposing bill stand intermediary ball lending machine 3 is output (step n).
201), acceptance of banknotes is prohibited. When the banknote acceptance prohibition signal is output, in step n202, in the banknote intermount ball lending machine 3a, the insertion detection signal is turned off due to the forced withdrawal of the banknote, or the counterfeit or defective banknote is inserted. Check whether or not there is an ON of the return signal, and when the insertion signal is OFF or the return signal is ON, the bill is not returned to the bill insertion slot 6a and does not flow into the bill transport unit 1, so that it is for the opposite bill. Tajima ball rental machine 3
The acceptance prohibition signal is turned off (step n207), the process proceeds from A to A in the figure, and the process returns to step n100.

At step n202, after confirming that the bills are not forcibly removed from the bill insertion slot 6a and that no counterfeit bills or defective bills are returned, it is confirmed whether or not the genuine bill signal is turned on ( Step n2
03). When the genuine note signal is not turned on, the process is stopped at step n203 until it is turned on. When the genuine bill signal is ON, the timer T2 is set (step n
204), it is checked in step n205 whether or not time T2 has elapsed, and step n continues until time T2 has elapsed.
It stops at 205. The time T2 is the time during which banknotes are stacked in the banknote transport unit 1 when the banknotes are inserted into the banknote mount ball lending machine 3 facing each other, and until the time T2 elapses, the banknote mount ball is used. The bill acceptance prohibition of the lending machine 3 continues.

After the time T2 has passed, even if the banknotes are inserted into the banknote inter-lens ball lending machine 3 facing each other, the banknotes conveying unit 1
Since the banknotes do not overlap each other, the banknote acceptance prohibition signal is turned off (step n206), the process proceeds from A to A in the figure, and the process returns to step n100.

According to the above-mentioned program, the acceptance timing of the bills inserted into the bill inter-lens ball lending machine 3 is determined by the bill insertion detecting means of the opposite bill inter-lens ball lending machine 3a or the upstream position bills. It is controlled according to the detection signal of the bill conveyance detection means of the conveyance unit 1, and as a result, the bill conveyance unit 1
It is formed so that the banknotes do not overlap each other.
