Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a pachinko ball recovery device, and particularly to facilitating the recovery of pachinko balls that have fallen on the floor.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Pachinko balls often spill onto the floor from pachinko machines or pachinko ball rental machines. Players and pachinko parlor employees need to collect the pachinko balls that spill on the floor. When collecting these pachinko balls, conventionally, they were collected by adsorbing them on a magnet, or employees bent over to collect them.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since the pachinko machine uses an electronic device, the use of a magnet causes the electronic device to malfunction. Moreover, the pachinko balls that spilled on the floor roll over a relatively wide area, and it is not easy for the player to bend and collect the pachinko balls, and it is not easy to collect them. In addition, it was not possible to bend freely in a narrow space, and it was not possible to easily collect pachinko balls that had spilled on the floor.

In order to solve such a problem, the pachinko balls are also collected by vacuum suction, but there is a disadvantage that the vacuum suction device becomes large and expensive. Furthermore, when vacuum suction is performed, post-processing is not easy because dust on the floor is also suctioned at the same time as pachinko balls.

The present invention has been made to solve the above disadvantages, and an object thereof is to obtain a pachinko ball recovery device that can easily recover only the pachinko balls that have spilled on the floor.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The pachinko ball recovery device according to the present invention is a pachinko ball recovery device comprising a housing, a plunger, a guide piece, and a plurality of leaf springs, and the housing stores the recovered pachinko balls on the bottom surface. Has a ball inlet, has guide grooves on both sides of the inner surface, an operation rod is rotatably attached to the center of the upper surface, and a plunger moves the guide piece and penetrates the operation rod. The guide piece is biased upward by a coil spring and guides the pachinko ball to be collected.It has guide plates inclined upward on both sides of the tip and is fixed to the tip of the plunger. Sliding along the guide groove, multiple leaf springs collect pachinko balls in the housing, and they are horizontally projected from both sides of the ball inlet of the housing, and the tips of the leaf springs are the guide plates of the guide pieces. Being provided at a certain distance And it features.

[0007]

[Action]

 In this invention, by pressing the ball inlet on the bottom surface of the housing against the pachinko ball that spilled on the floor, the pachinko ball is moved to the ball inlet position by the guide plate inclined above the guide piece and the curved leaf spring. invite.

In this state, by further pushing down the housing, the leaf spring is pushed up and bent by the pachinko ball. When the tip of this pushed up leaf spring exceeds the maximum diameter of the pachinko ball, the leaf spring reverses due to the elastic force and then jumps upward again. The springing force of this leaf spring causes the pachinko ball to bounce off and be collected in the housing.

Further, by pushing down the plunger, the position of the guide piece is moved downward so that a large space is provided between the guide plate and the leaf spring, and the pachinko ball collected in the housing is discharged.

[0010]

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a front sectional view showing an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the pachinko ball recovery device 1 has a housing 2, a plunger 3, a guide piece 4, and a leaf spring 5. The casing 2 is for accommodating the collected pachinko balls, and the entire lower surface is opened to form a ball inlet 6. A guide groove 7 is provided on both inner surfaces of the housing 2, and an operation rod 8 having a through hole in the center is attached to the central portion of the upper surface via a spring 9. The plunger 3 moves the guide piece 4, penetrates the operating rod 8 and is urged upward by the coil spring 10, the upper end projecting from the end of the operating rod 8 by a predetermined length, and the lower end portion of the spring 11. It is connected to the guide piece 4 via. The guide piece 4 guides the pachinko balls to be collected, has guide plates 12 inclined upward on both sides of the tip, is fixed to the tip of the plunger 3, and extends along the guide groove 7 in the housing 2. Slide. The leaf spring 5 collects the pachinko balls in the housing. As shown in the side view of FIG. 2 and the bottom view of FIG. 3, the leaf springs 5 are divided into a plurality of tips, each of which has a horizontal end from each side of the ball intake 6. And is attached to both side surfaces of the housing 2 with their ends spaced apart from the guide plate 12 of the guide piece 4 by a certain distance.

Next, the operation of the pachinko ball recovery device 1 configured as described above will be described. When collecting the pachinko ball 13 that has fallen to the floor from a pachinko machine or the like, hold the operation rod 8 in hand and press the lower surface of the housing 2 against the pachinko ball 13 as shown in the sectional view of FIG. The pressed pachinko ball 13 is moved to the center of the gap between the leaf spring 5 and the guide plate 12 by the bending of one leaf spring 5 provided at the ball inlet 6 and the guide plate 12 inclined upward. When the housing 2 is further pressed downward in this state, the tip of the leaf spring 5 is pushed upward by the pachinko ball 13 and bent further. When the tip of the curved plate spring 5 exceeds the position of the maximum diameter of the pachinko ball 11, the plate spring 5 is elastically reversed below the pachinko ball 13 and then bent upward again at a high speed. The tip of the leaf spring 5 bent at a high speed hits the lower portion of the pachinko ball 13, and the elastic force of the pachinko ball 13 causes the pachinko ball 13 to bounce upward and be collected in the housing 2.

By repeating this operation, the pachinko balls 13 spilled on the floor are sequentially collected in the housing 2. When the pachinko ball 13 is to be collected, the housing 2 is rotatably attached to the operation rod 8 by a spring 9, and the tip end is divided into a plurality of pieces to facilitate bending, and the guide plate 12 inclined upward. Since the pachinko ball 13 is guided by, the pachinko ball 13 falling in a narrow space or a corner of the floor can be easily collected.

After the pachinko balls 13 are collected in the housing 2 in this manner, the plunger 3 is pushed down as shown in the sectional view of FIG. By pushing down the plunger 3, the guide piece 4 and the guide plate 12 are lowered to increase the distance between the guide plate 12 and the leaf spring 5, and the pachinko ball 13 in the housing 2 is discharged from the increased gap. .. After that, when the pushing down of the plunger 3 is released, the plunger 3 is raised by the coil spring 10 and the guide piece 4 and the inner plate 12 are returned to their original positions.

[0014]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the present invention, as described above, presses the ball inlet on the bottom surface of the housing against the pachinko ball that has spilled on the floor. When the tip of the leaf spring pushed up exceeds the maximum diameter of the pachinko ball, the leaf spring elastically reverses and then rises upward again due to the force of the time. Since the pachinko balls are flipped off and collected in the housing, the pachinko balls spilled on the floor can be easily collected without bending. Moreover, since the housing for collecting the pachinko balls is rotatably attached to the operation rod, it is possible to easily collect the pachinko balls that have fallen into a narrow space.

Furthermore, by pushing down the plunger, the position of the guide piece can be moved downward, so that a large gap can be provided between the guide plate and the leaf spring, and the pachinko balls collected in the housing can be easily discharged. can do.
