It is a time chart for explaining the processing contents from the collection to the collection.

First, the initial state will be described. It is assumed that the dice 39 shown in FIG. 10 are stored in the buckets 31 shown in FIG. 3 in the following combinations. That is, bucket 3
1a for die 39A16, bucket 31b for die 39A25, bucket 31c for die 39A
34, the die 39B16 is stored in the bucket 31d, the die 39B25 is stored in the bucket 31e, and the die 39B34 is stored in the bucket 31f.

Regarding each position of the bucket 31,
It shall be determined as follows. That is, when the reference hole 67 passes in front of the reference detection sensor 32, the control circuit 27 determines that the bucket 31a is located at the die loading position Pu and the bucket 31d is at the die loading position Pd, and the motor 25 is turned on. Control rotation stop. This is based on the signal of the reference detection sensor 32, and the control circuit 27 counts the signal from the position detection sensor 30 when the position hole 67 of the disk 29 passes the position detection sensor 30. The position of 31f can be recognized. Specifically, if the control circuit 27 stops the rotation of the disk 29 after recognizing the signal of the position detection sensor 30 and then recognizing each signal of the reference detection sensor 32 for three pulses, for example, the bucket 31d moves to the disk. It is determined that the bucket 31a is located at the second die loading position Pu and the bucket 31a is located at the die loading position Pd.

In the above state, each bucket 3
1a to 31e in the above-mentioned state, each die 39A16, 39A
25, 39A34, 39B16 and 39B25 are stored, the bucket 31f is empty, and the die 39B34 is stored on the temporary storage transfer belt 53.
Further, it is assumed that the bucket 31a is located at the die loading position Pu, and the nth die 39A16 is thrown out.

Further, in FIG. 14, the cycle time T
1, T2 and T3 are, for example, 2.5 (S). A series of work consists of W1 to W3, and the sequence time TS is 7.5 (S), for example. First, in the T1 cycle, the work W1 and the work W2 are simultaneously processed.

In the processing of the work W1, the control circuit 27 energizes the solenoid 33 of the closing mechanism Y for a certain time (for example, 0.3 (S)), so that the n-th die 39A16 is operated from the bucket 31a. It is thrown toward 5. The die 39A16 rolls on the slope 9 and moves toward the conveyor belt 41. At this time, the control circuit 27
Gives a command to the magnetic field control circuit 46. That is, the control circuit 27 shifts the energization control relay contact R1 to the make contact while the solenoid 33 is energized, and the time t2 (for example, 2.2).
A current is supplied to the magnetic field generating coil 45 for a period of 5 (S). The control circuit 27 also uses the polarity switching relay contact R2.
Is set to a break state (time t2 in FIG. 15). further,
The control circuit 27 puts the strength switching relay contact R3 in the break state (time t3 in FIG. 15 (for example, 0.4 (S))) and reduces the current flowing through the shunt resistor S to the magnetic field generating coil 45 to weaken it. Generate a magnetic field. Also, at time t
After the lapse of 3, the control circuit 27 moves the strength switching relay contact R3 to the make contact, and the magnetic field generating coil 45 is moved.
A strong magnetic field H is generated by increasing the electric current flowing through. As a result, the outcome of the die 39A16 is controlled. This is explained below using mathematical expressions.

FIG. 12 shows a state in which the die 39A16 has a predetermined display item on the center of the conveyor belt 41 for display and recovery in the field 5 and faces sideways. Here, one side L3 of the square magnetic field generating coil 45 is, for example, 450 × 10 ³ (m)
And the magnetomotive force is, for example, 2770 (AT). The magnetic field strength H in the figure is, for example, 5770 (AT / m) when calculated from the Biot-Savart law.
Becomes The magnet 75A built in the die 39A16 fixes the FM 17φ × 17 made by TOKIN at the center. The diameter of the cylindrical magnet is, for example, 17 × 10 ³ (m), and the height L 2 is 17 × 10 ³ (m). And the magnet 75
The residual flux density Br of A16 is, for example, 420 × 10 ³ (T), the permeance coefficient PC is 3.14, and the magnetic charges mN, ms of the N and S poles are, for example, 9.26 × 10 ⁵ (W

Letting FN be the interaction of the magnetic charge amount mN of the N-pole surface with the external magnetic field H, and FS be the interaction of the magnetic charge amount ms of the S-pole surface and the external magnetic field H. Become.

[0030]

[Equation 1] Fn = mN × H ÷ 9.8 (Kgf) (downward)

[Formula 2] FS = mS × H ÷ 9.8 (Kgf) (upward)

[0032]

## EQU3 ## The torque TA due to the interaction | FN | = | FS |

[0033]

## EQU00004 ## TA = FN.times.L2 (Kgf.m) When TA is obtained from the above, Equation 5 is obtained.

[0034]

[Formula 5] TA = 895.2 2 × 10 to ⁶ (Kgf ·

[0035]

[6] ^{35. 2 × 10 ~ 3 × 18} × 10 ~ 3 = 633.
6 × 10 ⁶ (Kgf · m) The total torque T applied to the center of gravity of the die 39A16 is given by the following Equation 7 from Equation 5 and Equation 6.

[0036]

## EQU7 ## T = TA-633.6 × 10 ³ = 895.2 ×

[0037]

## EQU00008 ## T> 0 (Kgf.m) Thus, the fact that the torque T is positive means that the die 39A
This means that 16 rotates on the conveyor belt 41 in the direction of the arrow.

Then, when the energy of the rotational motion is consumed, the die 39A16 shows a predetermined display result on the center of the display and the conveyor belt 41 in the field 5 as shown in FIG. That is, the interaction between the magnetic charge amount mN of the N pole surface and the external magnetic field H is FN, and the magnetic charge amount mS of the S pole surface and the external magnetic field H are
If the interaction with and is FS, then
There is a relationship of 1.

[0041]

[Equation 11] | FN | = | FS | The torque TA due to the interaction is given by Formula 10 because FN and FS are on the same axis.

[0042]

[Equation 12] TA = 0 (Kgf · m) That is, the torque between the center of the die 39A16 and the corner is 633.6 × 10 ⁶ (Kgf · m). Therefore, the total torque T on the center of gravity of the die 39A16 is
The following Expressions 13 and 14 are obtained.

## EQU13 ## T = TA-633.6 × 10 to ⁶ = -63

Where T ≦ 0 (Kgf · m) where T is negative or zero means that the die is in a stable state on the display and recovery conveyor belt 41.

In this way, the die 39A16 is displayed on the field 5 with a predetermined display value "1". In addition, other dice 3
The same control is performed for 9A and 39B.

Further, when the polarity switching relay contact R2 is in the break state, the die 39A16 displays the result of "1" in the direction of the magnetic field strength H shown in FIG. When the polarity switching relay contact R2 is in the make state, the direction of the magnetic field H is opposite, and the die 39A16 shows the result of "6". That is,
With respect to the die 39A16, there are two directions of the magnetic field H, and two types of "1" and "6" can be displayed. "1" to "6" can be displayed on group A dice 39A16, 39A25, 39A34. The same applies to the B dies 39B16, 39B25, 39B34.

The work W2 is processed in parallel with the work W1. At work W2, the control circuit 27 drives the motor 25 only within the time t6 (for example, 2.0 (S)) based on the signals from the reference detection sensor 32 and the position detection sensor 30, and the (n-1) th The empty bucket 3f containing the die 39B34 is controlled to be located at the die take-in position Pd (time T1). At this time, the rotation speed of the disk 29 is 30 (rpm).

Next, at the cycle T2, the work W3 is processed. Here, in the field 5, the period T (for example, 2.5
During (S)), the predetermined number "1" of the thrown nth die 39A16 is displayed. Work W4 in parallel with work W3
To process. In the work W4, at the time of cycle T1, the n-1th die 39B34 temporarily stored on the temporary storage belt 53 is placed in the die take-in position Pd of the bucket 3

(For example, 2.0 (S)), the temporary storage conveyor belt 53 is rotated in the direction of the arrow (FIG. 8),
-The first die 39B34 is carried into the bucket 31f.

Finally, the work W5 and the work W6 are processed at the cycle T3. At work W5, the motor 43 is driven only at time t5 (for example, 2.0 (S)), the display and recovery conveyance belt 41 is rotated, and the n-th die 39A.
16 is carried to the belt 53 of the die collecting mechanism Z. Work W
Work W6 is processed in parallel with 5. The bucket 31 of the disk 29 contains the dice 39A and 39B, respectively. The control circuit 27 determines the n + 1th thrown-out item by a random number and selects from the buckets 31b to 31f. That is, the control circuit 27 turns on the motor 25 at time t7.
It drives only for a period within (2.0 (S)), and controls one of the selected buckets 3b to 3f to be positioned at the die insertion position Pu of the disk 29. Even when the same result is continuously displayed, since there are two sets of dice 39A and 39B, no contradiction occurs.

As described above, a series of operations from the throwing up of the nth die 39 to the collection thereof has been described.
In the above-described embodiment, three types of dies are set as one set, two sets are provided, and the die recovery mechanism Z is provided with a function of temporarily storing the dies at the time of collecting the dies so that the dies are combined in each processing cycle. It enables control and shortens the die throwing interval.
