Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to ventilation equipment for gaming halls such as pachinko parlors.

(Prior Art) The atmosphere inside a game hall such as a pachinko parlor is likely to become very poor due to players' exhalation, cigarette smoke, and the like.

Conventional countermeasures to this problem include installing ventilation fans and installing air purifiers on the ceiling and inside the venue.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) When installing a ventilation fan in a game hall, it is difficult to ventilate the entire game hall with just 1.2 ventilation fans, so attempts have been made to install a large number of ventilation fans.

However, when a large number of ventilation fans are installed and operated at the same time, air must be exchanged throughout the entire area, resulting in extremely poor cooling and heating efficiency.

Furthermore, when an air purifier is installed on the ceiling or inside the venue, it is necessary to regularly clean the filter of the air cleaner. In this case, there was an inconvenience that a large amount of labor and time was required.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and its feature is that ventilation is possible from the bottom of the upper part of the game equipment installed in parallel in the game hall. A lighting fixture is installed, an exhaust pipe is provided within the lighting fixture, an intake port is formed in the exhaust pipe, and one end of the exhaust pipe is connected to an exhaust pipe outside the premises. It's in being.

Note that it is preferable to configure the exhaust pipe so that it can be separated for each lighting device, and furthermore, the intake port formed in the exhaust pipe can be used to prevent pollution in the venue detected by a pollution sensing device installed close to the play equipment. A structure that opens and closes depending on the degree of exposure would be a more effective means of solving the problem.

(Function) The exhaust port of the exhaust pipe is connected to an exhaust means outside the venue, and since the exhaust pipe is provided inside the lighting equipment, air contaminated with carbon dioxide gas, cigarette smoke, etc. emitted by the players is removed. It is inhaled through the intake port and exhausted outside the facility through the exhaust port before it spreads widely within the facility.

In addition, a contamination sensing device that senses the degree of air pollution is installed near the play equipment, and the intake port formed in the exhaust pipe is structured to open and close depending on the degree of contamination detected by the contamination sensing device. , the air is inhaled only when the level of air pollution is detected to be above a certain value.

(Example) Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the entire ventilation equipment of a game hall.

P is a pachinko machine. At the top of the pachinko machine P..., a milky white cover 21 is formed into a curved surface that bulges outward.
A lighting fixture 2 is provided.

The back side of the lighting fixture 2 is open. Lighting equipment 2...
is attached to the upper end of the pachinko machine P... by a hinge part 24 so as to be able to rotate upward, and is continuous in the parallel direction of the pachinko machines P.... The bottom surface of the cover 21 of the lighting fixture 2 is provided with a looper 25 that allows ventilation. This looper 25 is fixed to the lighting fixture 2 at the front part of the lighting fixture 2 and is elastically engaged with the rear part of the lighting fixture 2. Then, when the lighting fixture 2 is pushed up inward, the bottom of the lighting fixture 2 opens. A fitting hole 22 is formed on the side surface of each lighting fixture 2, through which a connecting member for an exhaust pipe, which will be described later, is passed. A fluorescent lamp 23 is attached to the front inside the lighting fixture 2 as shown in FIG. The light from the fluorescent lamp 23 is illuminated by the cover 21
It illuminates the hall through the looper 25, and illuminates the front of the pachinko machine P through the looper 25.

The ventilation equipment 1 consists of an exhaust pipe 3 and a fan 4 which is an exhaust means.

The exhaust pipe 3 is formed by connecting a plurality of pipes 31 made of plastic or metal. Each pipe 31 is provided above the fluorescent lamp 23 in the lighting fixture 2 in the longitudinal direction. Adjacent pipes 31... are connected by connecting members 32....

The connecting member 32 has an inner diameter that is approximately the same as the diameter of the pipe 31. The pipes 31 are connected by fitting the connecting member 32 into the fitting hole 22 of the lighting fixture 2. In this way, the exhaust pipe 3 is provided within the lighting equipment 2 in the direction in which the pachinko machines P are arranged side by side. The connecting member 32 can be slid in the longitudinal direction of the pipes 31, and can disconnect one pipe 31 from an adjacent pipe 31.

One end of the exhaust pipe 3 is connected to a fan 4 provided on the wall of the game hall to form an exhaust port 34, and the other end 3a of the exhaust pipe 3 is closed.

Inlet ports 33 are formed in the lower portions of the pipes 31 along the longitudinal direction of the pipes 31 .

These intake ports 33... are connected to each pachinko machine P.
One for each pachinko machine P is formed near the upper center of the . These intake ports 33 are opened toward the looper 25. In this embodiment, the intake ports 33 are provided with lids 35 that open only when dirt in the air is detected. This opening/closing i
35 open and close in response to the reaction of the contamination sensing device 5 provided within the lighting fixture 2, as shown in FIG.

Next, the state of use of the ventilation equipment 1 in the game hall will be explained.

When the fan 4 is operated, air in the hall, particularly in the vicinity of the pachinko machine P, is sucked in through the intake port 33, passes through the exhaust pipe 3, and is discharged from the fan 4 to the outside of the hall due to its ventilation effect.

When an opening/closing lid 35 is provided at the intake port 33 . The opening/closing M35 is opened, and when the dirt in the air is removed, the intake ports 33 are closed.

When cleaning the inside of the exhaust pipe 3, push up the looper 25 to open the bottom of the lighting fixture 2. In this state, the connecting member 32 is slid to release the connection between the vibrators 31, and the lighting fixture 2 is rotated upward around the hinge portion 24. As a result, the opening of the pipe 31 is exposed, and the inside thereof can be cleaned (see FIG. 4). Since the back side of the lighting fixture 2 is open, the interior of the lighting fixture can also be cleaned in this state.

Note that the ventilation equipment of the present invention can be used not only for pachinko machines but also for slot machines and other gaming equipment.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, a lighting fixture that allows ventilation from the bottom is attached to the top of game equipment such as pachinko machines installed side by side in a gaming hall, and an exhaust pipe is provided in this lighting fixture. An intake port is formed in the exhaust pipe, and one end of the exhaust pipe is connected to an exhaust means outside the play area, so that exhaled breath and cigarette smoke can be directly inhaled before they diffuse into the play area.

Therefore, compared to the conventional case where a large number of ventilation doors are installed in the playing field, the air near the highly contaminated players can be ventilated more efficiently.

In addition, when the exhaust pipes are connected by a connecting member that can be slid in the longitudinal direction, when cleaning the inner surface of the exhaust pipe or the inside of the lighting equipment, the connecting member can be connected by sliding the connecting member in the longitudinal direction of the exhaust pipe. You can lift up each lighting fixture one by one and clean it.

If the intake port formed in the exhaust pipe is configured to open and close according to the degree of contamination detected by the contamination sensing device installed in the play equipment, it will be possible to prevent the degree of contamination near each play equipment from exceeding a certain value. The air intake can be opened only when the temperature is low, increasing the efficiency of heating and cooling in the venue.

Furthermore, since the exhaust pipe is installed inside the lighting equipment, it does not become an eyesore and does not affect the appearance of the venue.
