In the above-described conventional air conditioning system, the conditioned air is blown out from the air outlet on the ceiling side of the room and the air in the room is sucked from the suction port provided on the ceiling side. There is a problem that the air conditioning efficiency is lowered because the air is sucked in together with the air from the suction port.

On the other hand, the conditioned air blown out produces an indoor air flow, and the smoke produced by smoking is diffused into the room and cannot be efficiently exhausted by the exhaust device, so that the visibility in the store is reduced. There is a problem that the environment gets worse, such as worsening.

Further, in the summer, the cooling load is large, so that it is necessary to increase the air volume of the conditioned air, and since the outlets are intensively provided on the side of the passage on which the player sits, the conditioned air blown out There is a seat directly hitting the player, and in this case, the player is uncomfortable.

It is an object of the present invention to solve such a problem and to effectively use a space which has not been used in the past as a conditioned air path in a game arcade.

[0009]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, in an amusement hall in which a large number of gaming machines are arranged in a plurality of rows in a room, an air-conditioning duct section connected to an air conditioner is provided under the floor of the room. Is configured in a direction that traverses the row of the gaming equipment, and a communication space portion is formed at the bottom of each row of the gaming equipment, and at the intersection position of each row and the air conditioning duct portion, an air conditioning duct portion is provided. An air communication part that connects the communication space part is constructed on the floor, multiple air outlets are installed in the communication space part along each row of the game machine, and the ceiling space communicates with the ceiling of the game hall. Configure the air communication part to
This is to propose an air conditioning system in a game arcade configured with an exhaust device that discharges air in the ceiling space.

Further, in the present invention, in the above structure, it is proposed that the communication space portion of each row of the gaming machine is configured as a stand on which a plurality of gaming machines forming the row are installed.

Further, the present invention proposes that, in the above-mentioned structure, the air conditioning duct section is constructed by burying a concrete duct under the floor.

According to the present invention described above, the conditioned air from the air conditioner flows through the air conditioning duct portion formed under the floor of the room in which the game machine is installed, reaches below each row of the game machine, and is formed on the floor. After passing through the air communication portion, the air flows into the communication space portion formed in the lower part of each row of the game machine. Next, the conditioned air that has flowed into the communication space flows through the communication space, and then flows out into the room from the air outlet provided at the appropriate place.

On the other hand, since the air in the ceiling space is discharged to the outside by the exhaust device, the air below the ceiling in the room is sucked into the ceiling space from the suction port. Therefore, in the room in which the game machine is installed, a one-way air flow from the floor side to the ceiling side is generated, and in the conventional air conditioning system, high temperature air and cigarette smoke that easily stay under the ceiling in the room are not generated. ,
It flows into the ceiling space from the room through the suction port and accumulates therein, and then is discharged from the ceiling space to the outside by the exhaust device.
