に関するものである。[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is used in vending machines, money exchange machines, medal gaming machines, etc., to line up medals (including coins) that are randomly stored in a hopper one by one. The present invention relates to an improvement in a path for efficiently and smoothly sending out medals using a device that sequentially sends out a predetermined number of medals.

た。 Recently, the coin dispensing device used in vending machines has been improved and used as a medal return device and a medal dispensing device on the back side of the medal game machine, but in this case, it is different from the coin dispensing device used in conventional vending machines. However, miniaturization of the coin dispensing device has been desired due to restrictions on the installation location. However, when the coin dispensing device is made smaller, there are problems such as difficulty in arranging and dispensing medals in a continuous state with a continuous medal dispensing efficiency. It was hot.

続した状態でメダルを送出す事が出来る。 FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention.
The figure shows a state in which the hopper for storing medals has been removed, and the mounting board 2 is tilted as a whole because the medal feeding device 1 is usually mounted in an inclined manner. A sprocket 4 is attached to the drive shaft 3 of the drive motor, and on the outer periphery of the sprocket 4 there are a U-shaped notch 6 slightly larger than the outer diameter of the medal 5 and scraping claws extending radially from the center of the sprocket 4. A plurality of medals 7 and 8 are stacked one on top of the other in two stages and are integrated, and the scraping claw 7 on the upper stage rotates the sprocket 4 to agitate the medals 5 that are casually stored in the hopper. Notch part 6
The depth of the notch 6, that is, the sprocket 4
If the thickness of the medals is the same as that of several stacked medals, it will not be possible to completely guide the medals 5 into all the notches 6 with one rotation of the sprocket 4.
By stacking and stocking medals for several rotations of the sprocket 4, the medals can be sent out in sequence.

ている様に取付けてある。 Although the embodiment of the present invention is illustrated with the hopper removed, the hopper for storing medals is attached to a ring 9 surrounding the outer periphery of the sprocket 4, and is superimposed on a base plate 11 below. An intermediate plate 10 having a shape that is open at the bottom and has a thickness equivalent to one medal is stacked along the inner diameter of the ring 9, and these are superimposed and mounted on the mounting board 2. The board 11 is attached to the ring 9. The sprocket 4 is bored in the same shape as the inner diameter, and the sprocket 4 is mounted on the mounting board 2 so as to rotate in the holes of the intermediate plate 10, the board 11, and the ring 9.

する十分な送出し力を有している。 In the case of the present invention, the function of the sprocket 4 is to stir and arrange the medals in the upper rake claw 7, stack the medals in the first notch 6, and transfer the medals 5 at the bottom, that is, on the side of the mounting board 2, to the lower rake claw 7. 8, the medal 5 is sent out while being released to the outside of the ring 9. The U-shaped notch 6 also faces outward from the center of the sprocket 4, and the middle plate 10 is fed out from the lower part 12 of the ring 9 through the medal feeding port 13 and the sprocket 4 for being fed out from the medal feeding device 1. A medal delivery passage 15 is provided in the connection path connecting the discharge port 14, and the medals 5 are sequentially stirred from the hopper.
The medals are aligned, guided to the medal delivery path 15 and sent out, and the number of medals sent out is counted by the medal counting section 23 and discharged from the medal delivery port 13 to the outside of the medal delivery device 1. The sprocket 4 and medal feeding mechanism of one embodiment of the present invention have sufficient functions to push up and transfer the medals upward, so that they can simply align medals from the hopper like a conventional medal feeding device. Since it does not have the function of simply discharging the medals, it has sufficient sending force to transport the medals upward.

の原因ともなつていた。 Regarding the medal feeding passage 15 that gets dirty in the medal feeding device 1 of the present invention, a conventional example as shown in FIG. If the relief part 16 for allowing the medals 5 to escape to the outside of the ring 9 and the medal guide plate 19 are simply provided so as to protrude straight into the medal delivery passage 15, the medals 17 and 18 will be stacked continuously in the medal delivery passage 15. So medal 1 at the bottom
8, the weight of the medal etc. is added by the medal 17 on the top and it escapes in the direction of the arrow on the left, that is, 1
The number of times the medals escape increases due to changes in the center positions of the medals 7 and 18. The medal 18' is removed from the normal medal feeding path by the sprocket 4 and hits the medal sorting plate 20 provided to correct the medal trajectory, and is returned to the normal medal feeding path 15 by the force of the spring 21. Otherwise, the medals are returned to the notch 6 of the sprocket 4 again, and the medal trajectory is corrected, so the continuous feeding of the medals is interrupted, and the medals are not ejected smoothly, but intermittently. A phenomenon in which the medals and the sprocket 4 became stuck occurred, which caused the medal feeding device 1 to malfunction.

り分け板２２を作動させる事はない。 An embodiment of the present invention that has been improved to eliminate the above-mentioned specific drawbacks is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. In the present invention, the sprocket 4 is used to send out the medals 5 along the middle plate 10 on the outside of the ring 9, and in order to maintain this state, guide the medals to the medal sending passage 15 and discharge them from the medal sending port 13. A medal guiding plate 22 is added to the middle plate 10 provided with the portion 16, and is arranged so as to protrude into the medal feeding passage 15. Therefore, when the medals are stirred and aligned by the rotation of the sprocket 4, the medals 5 at the bottom of the U-shaped notch 6 move outward from the lower part 12 of the ring 9. As mentioned above, this is also a feature of the sprocket 4 of the present invention, but the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the sprocket 4 causes the medal to move outward, so the relief part of the middle plate 10 5 medals at 16
The medals 5 are further guided and sent out to the outside, and are sent out from the discharge port 14 to the medal delivery passage 15 while being pushed up by the lower raking claws 8. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the medal guiding plate 22 protruding from the medal feeding passage 15 causes the medal 5 to have a meandering feeding trajectory, so that the medals are always kept in a continuous state. Even if the weight of medal 5 2 , which is located above 5 1 , is added to the medal 5 1 , the center point of the medal will be lowered perpendicularly from 5 2 , and the center point of 5 2 will be lower than 5 1 . is on the left side, so 5 1
The medal always maintains a stable outward delivery trajectory. Also, the positional relationship between the medals 5 2 and 5 3 is the same as described above, but if you look at the center point of 5 3 vertically, the weight of the medal 5 3 added to 5 2 is reduced. 5 2 escapes to the left side and does not operate the medal distribution board 22.

供する事が可能となつた。 As described above, the present invention improves efficiency by eliminating the biting phenomenon between the medals and the sprocket when the medals are stirred and aligned, and the medals are sent out by the sprocket 4 in the medal delivery device 1 using the sprocket 4. In order to send out the medals well, the notch 6 of the sprocket 4 gradually separates the medals from the lower part 12 of the ring 9 and guides the medals to the outside of the sprocket 4, so that the medals can be sent out smoothly and continuously. However, in the present invention, the meshing phenomenon between the medals and the sprocket 4 that occurs at the outlet 14 of the medal delivery passage 15 where the medals are separated from the sprocket 4 is improved, and the medals are sent out more effectively. Therefore, in order to make the medal 5 delivery trajectory meander, a medal guide plate 22 is provided to protrude into the medal delivery path 15 so that the medals are stably delivered outward. Since the cause of the stoppage and failure of the medal feeding device due to the phenomenon of biting of medals has been eliminated, it has become possible to provide a device for constantly stable medal feeding, a medal processing device, etc.
