As an island-based change replenishing device for automatically supplying change to this stand-alone lending machine by arranging the interleaving machines, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, carry-in coins are directly fed into the housing a installed at the end of the island. A disk-shaped hopper c having a receiving storage tank b is simply provided. In this case, the coins stored in the storage tank b are
The tilting disk d of the hopper c is rotated by the drive of the motor e to move the disk one by one to the upper side, and is fed to the coin replenishing line f toward the inter-lender. In this case, the counting sensor g is provided between the tip of the hopper c and the coin supply line f.
Is used to detect the number of sheets.

枚数勘違い等もあるが）。<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, the actual number of change transferred into the clerk cannot be calculated by counting only the number of change transferred to the inter-lender. In other words, if the clerk puts in change coins such as 100 yen, 500 yen, etc., in a container such as a bag directly into the storage tank section of the hopper, which is a vertical feed, the number of carried-in pieces cannot be confirmed. This is a problem because the amount of replenishment change carried in (the number of items) and the amount of change change collected in the device do not always match when totaling (counting after closing, etc.). One of the reasons for this is that it is not possible to know exactly how many pieces of change money were initially supplied. Therefore, this counting error also becomes a factor for suspicion of the staff later, which in turn results in lowering the employment rate of employees (although, of course, there is a mistake in the number of replenished sheets).

る。The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a change replenishing device in a pachinko parlor for solving the above problems by counting the number of change coins initially loaded at the front stage position of the hopper with a storage tank. It is a thing.

A counter sensor for the number of carried-in sheets is provided at the tip of the replenishment hopper section for the initial change, which becomes the counter for counting the number of fed-out sheets to the inter-lender side, at the tip of the hopper section with a storage tank installed in front of the count sensor. It is equipped with a sensor.

することができる。<Operation> Due to the above-mentioned configuration, the initial change group thrown into the funnel-shaped receiving portion of the replenishing hopper section is addressed to one sheet by the centrifugal force of the high-speed rotating turntable located at the bottom of the replenishing hopper section, and the front hopper is forwarded. Although it is fed and dropped to a storage tank of a certain part, it is stored in the storage tank at a position upstream of the storage tank and counted by a counting sensor arranged on the side to detect the primary number. After that, if the inclined rotary plate of the hopper rotates in response to a change supply signal from an appropriate inter-unit lending machine, the coins accumulated at the peripheral edge of the rotary plate serving as the feeding mechanism are moved upward one by one. The coins are transferred to and fed out to the coin replenishing line that serves as an ascending conveyance path, and the secondary sensor detects the secondary number by counting with the counting sensor provided at this feeding position. In other words, when replenishing change to a stand-alone renting machine, there are two methods: detection of the number of sheets carried out outside and detection of the number of sheets actually supplied to the stand-alone renter.
Since the number of stacked sheets is detected, it is possible to confirm the actual number of sheets carried in and out.

〈実施例〉 以下、本考案を実施例の図面に基づいて説明すれば、
次の通りである。<Example> Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on the drawings of the embodiment,
It is as follows.

回転用モータで、19は硬貨回収ラインである。In FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, 1 is an amusement platform 2 such as a pachinko machine, and an inter-machine lending machine 3 which is an inter-machine ball lending machine or inter-machine medal lending machine interposed therebetween, and the island a end A change replenishing device installed at a portion of the housing. The change replenishing device 1 includes a rotating disc 7, a discharge belt 8 and side portions thereof which are rotated at a high speed by a motor 6 having a funnel-shaped receiving portion 5 disposed above the housing 4 in a front stage. Replenishment hopper section 10 in which the counting sensor 9 for the number of carried-in sheets is provided
And a disc type hopper portion 14 having a feeding disc 13 formed in front of the storage tank 12 desired at the end of the discharge belt 8 to be installed in the latter stage, and a coin replenishing line 15 continuously provided above the hopper portion 14. And a feed-out number counting sensor 16 installed between and. Reference numeral 17 is a motor for rotating the feeding disk 13, and 19 is a coin collecting line.

Ａを投入すればよい。To explain this action, first, at the time of initial change supply (change change supply from the outside) to the change supply device 1, a clerk puts a container (not shown) containing change coins up to a predetermined island end change supply device 1. Carry and door 4a of this housing 4
Open and open the coin hopper A into the funnel-shaped receiving portion 5 of the replenishing hopper portion 10.

てから貯溜タンク12に溜められるものである。Here, when the rotary disc 7 located at the bottom of the receiving portion 5 is rotated at high speed by the drive of the motor 6, the centrifugal force of the rotary disc 7 causes one sheet to be delivered from the peripheral edge to the discharge belt 8 side, The motor 6 drops onto the storage tank 12 of the hopper portion 14 ahead of the discharge belt 8 which rotates by an appropriate transmission mechanism (not shown). In this case, the coins A that can be passed through are counted by a counting sensor 9 of, for example, a counter wheel type provided on the side of the discharging belt 8. That is, the change coin A carried in by the clerk is always stored once in the storage tank 12 after once counting (detecting the primary number).

A known hopper portion 14 of the change replenishing device 1 is passed through 18 and this motor 17 is driven. Here, when the feeding disk 13 integrated with the motor 17 rotates, the coins A accumulated in the storage tank 12 are sequentially picked up by the pins 13a, which are projecting mechanisms at regular intervals protruding on the peripheral edge of the feeding disk 13. 1
The coins are transferred upward one by one and fed out vertically (in one line) to the coin replenishing line 15 arranged upright. In this case, the hopper section 14
The counting sensor 16 disposed at the exit position of (1) counts (detects the secondary number of sheets) the actual number of sheets to be replenished to the inter-vehicle lending machine 3 side.

ある。In this case, the carry-in amount which becomes the detected value of the number of initial (replenished) change coins A to be inserted into the supply hopper unit 10 of the change supplying device 1 and the feed-out amount which becomes the detected value of the number of the hopper unit 14 at the storage tank 12 position. It is displayed on the controller unit 18.

きるものであればよい。<Effects of the Invention> As described above, the change replenishing device in the pachinko parlor of the present invention is provided with the number of sheets at the exit position of the replenishment hopper part for initial carry-in of change and the exit position of the hopper part with the storage tank for storing the coins to be carried out. Since a counting sensor for detection is provided to count the actual carry-in amount and feed-out amount,
It is possible to surely know the number of change coins replenished and carried in by a staff member, and to know the total number of coin replenishment coins including the amount of change coins collected from the inter-ventory lending machine, which enables reliable change management. This can eliminate the inconvenience caused by the staff during the change supply work. Moreover, since the present invention has a simple structure of a two-stage hopper in which a replenishment hopper part is combined with a preceding stage of the hopper part, it has a practical effect such as a compact device and a robust type that does not cause a failure or malfunction. . Needless to say, the change-in hopper portion for the initial carry-in (replenishment) may be one capable of counting coins for one sheet.
