[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a ball circulation system on a pachinko island equipped with a prize ball counter, and more specifically, to a pachinko ball pumping device depending on the time of day when the prize ball counter is loaded or the situation at the time of loading. The present invention relates to a pachinko ball lifting device for increasing the rotational speed of one or two motors which are lifted upward by manual or automatic means when the amount of flow down becomes large.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the past, at pachinko parlors, the prize balls obtained by the customers in the game are counted at the prize exchange ground and collected by the pachinko ball pumping device for the pachinko parlor on the pachinko parlor side. Since the number of pachinko balls is reduced, the collected pachinko balls are returned to each pachinko island through a replenishment trough from a pachinko ball lifting device for ball fields. Also, due to differences in the operating rate and ball output rate of the pachinko balls on each pachinko island, the amount of pachinko balls held is unevenly distributed, causing an excess or deficiency of the pachinko balls to be supplied to the table between the pachinko islands. For the purpose of averaging the amount of pachinko balls possessed by each other, there is a supply gutter between the pachinko islands arranged side by side.

In this case, the supply gutter is stretched over the inside of the pachinko parlor, which is not desirable from an aesthetic viewpoint, and the weight of the balls causes the supply gutter to fall. . In addition, a space for a pachinko ball lifting device to be installed for the ballpark had to be provided. Therefore, we provided a prize ball counter near each edge or center of each pachinko island, and the prize balls obtained on that island are counted by the prize ball counter installed on that island and circulated on that island. Has been done.

The pachinko ball discharge port of the prize ball counter is connected to a transfer pipe of a pachinko ball lifting device installed on the island through a ball collecting trough, and the transfer pipe is further connected to the lifting pipe. When a prize ball is collected through a prize ball counter installed near the center or edge of each pachinko island, the prize ball is sorted from the pachinko ball hoisting device from the transfer pipe through the hoisting pipe. It is sent to the equipment and is supplied to each front table and inter-mountain ball rental machine through a supply gutter.

In the transfer and pumping pipes of the pachinko ball lifting device, the abrasive particles mixed in the pachinko balls send dirty pachinko balls to the sorting device while polishing the balls, and in the sorting device, , The abrasive particles with stains are separated from the polished pachinko balls, and the pachinko balls are sent to a supply gutter.The abrasive particles are transferred from the abrasive particle collection pipe to the transfer pipe, and when the abrasive particles become dirty, they are polished. After the dirt is removed by the abrasive particle cleaning device through the grain cleaning circulation pipe, it is sent to the transfer pipe and used again for polishing pachinko balls.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the fact that the prize balls are brought to the prize ball counter means that the amount of pachinko balls held by the front table has relatively decreased at this time, especially one hour before the store closes. Since the customers trying to count the prize balls concentrate on the prize ball counter, the ability to supply the pachinko balls to the table can not be followed, which causes troubles between the shop side and the playing customers. is there. In other words, a lot of prize balls are collected at the prize ball counter, and it is necessary to rush them to a supply gutter at a time just before the store is closed, but with conventional pachinko ball pumping equipment Since the pumping capacity of the plant was always constant, the supply to the supply gutter was not in time.

On the other hand, when a prize ball counter is provided near the end or center of each pachinko island to return the collected pachinko balls to the island, the number of rotations of the transfer and pumping motors is increased. There is an attempt to deal with this problem by raising the pachinko ball to a supply gutter at a high speed by always setting (raising) to a value larger than the standard setting. In the case of concentration, as described above, in the transfer pipe and pumping pipe, the pachinko balls that have become dirty due to the abrasive grains mixed in the pachinko balls are polished and sent to the sorting device. The faster the speed of passing through the pipes and pumping pipes, the less time it takes to polish the pachinko balls, so that they can be replenished without the pachinko balls remaining dirty, and more power is consumed. And a new problem of shortening the life of the motor occurs. Immediately, in this case, the pachinko ball pumping capacity is set at a high level and always constant.

The present invention is a solution to such a problem completely, and even if the amount charged to the prize ball counter is large and the number held on the island is small, it is supplied to the table stand. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko ball lifting device that can respond to both prioritizing ball polishing and prioritizing replenishment depending on the situation so that there is no delay.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a prize ball counter at an end of an island formed by arranging a plurality of pachinko table stands side by side or at an arbitrary position in the island, and the pachinko ball ejector of the prize ball counter is provided. On a pachinko island equipped with a prize ball counter that connects the outlet to a transfer pipe of a pachinko ball hoisting device installed on the island through a ball collection gutter, on a pachinko ball hoisting device, abrasive grains and pachinko balls A pachinko ball lifting device comprising means for increasing the number of rotations of one or two motors for lifting upward while stirring and mixing, and a manual or automatic means for operating the means.

[0010]

[Action]

 Now, the present invention is a manual switch of manual means or an automatic means that can activate the means for increasing the number of rotations of one or two motors that lift up while stirring and mixing abrasive grains and pachinko balls with a pachinko ball lifting device. I installed a timer switch as an effective means, for example, if the clerk finds that it is necessary because the customers trying to count the prize balls concentrate at the prize ball counter even before the store closes. At any time, by manually inserting a switch, the means for increasing the rotation speed of one or two motors, which lifts the abrasive grains and the pachinko balls while stirring and mixing, activates the pachinko balls that have passed the prize ball counter. The amount of pachinko balls required on the front table is insufficient because the balls are sent to the supply trough at a speed faster than the normal lifting capacity while polishing the balls in the ball lifting device. So that things will not occur. Also, by setting a timer at a certain time just before the closing of the store, at the same time as that time, the rotation speed of one or two motors that lifts the abrasive particles of the pachinko ball hoisting device and the pachinko balls while stirring and mixing. The means for raising the pachinko machine will operate, and the amount of pachinko balls required by the front table will not become insufficient as described above. After this, the manual switch can be turned off when the clerk feels it is unnecessary, or the entire floor can be turned off after the store is closed.

As described above, according to the present invention, the pachinko ball lifting capacity of the conventional device is always fixed to a constant pace, whether it is low or high. In contrast, the present invention is set so that it can be changed according to the situation. This makes it possible to polish the pachinko balls carefully if the supply of pachinko balls is not too urgent, and conversely, it is better than polishing the pachinko balls in the event of a rush to replenish the pachinko balls. It will be possible to focus on the supply.

[0012]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and a pachinko ball is used as a medium, but a medal or the like may be used. In addition, this embodiment will be described in detail below as a pachinko ball lifting device using two spirals (transfer / lift).

FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway front view of a pachinko island 2, FIG. 2 is a side view of an island edge 3, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an operation of a pachinko ball lifting device 5. The pachinko island 2 is formed by arranging a plurality of pachinko table bases 1 and inter-mountain ball rental machines 8 side by side, and the island end 3 of the island 2 is integrally provided with a money changer 30 and a prize ball counter 31, A display unit 32 and a printer 33 are attached above the prize ball counter 31, and the display unit 32 displays the operation status of the prize ball counter 31. It is counted by the prize ball counter 31, and the final count result is printed and output by the printer 33.

In this embodiment, both a manual switch which is a manual means and a timer switch which is an automatic means are attached to a place where a central control device of a pachinko parlor is located, that is, a prize exchange place, and a transfer motor is connected from these switches. 51, the rotational speeds of the transfer motor 51 and the lifting motor 53 of the pachinko ball lifting device 5 are controllably wired to a control board capable of controlling the rotational speeds of 51 and the lifting motor 53. It is set to increase by 10 percent. First, in this embodiment, the prize balls are brought intensively to the prize ball counters of each of the pachinko islands 2 even during normal times, and at this point, the prize balls relatively held by the front stand are It is designed to be able to deal with a significant decrease in volume. In addition, the prize ball counter 31 is provided with a pachinko ball discharge port 34 for guiding the pachinko balls to the outside, and the discharge port 34 is a transfer pipe of the pachinko ball lifting device 5 installed at approximately the center of the island 2. It is located at the upper part of the ball collection gutter 7 leading to 50, and an electromagnetic sensor 4 is incorporated in the discharge port 34, and the electromagnetic sensor 4 is connected to a sensor circuit (not shown) and set to a certain value. During continuous detection, the sensor circuit is wired to the transfer motor 51 and the lifting motor 53 so that their rotation speeds can be controlled, and the sensor circuit detects the transfer motor 51 and the transfer motor 51 of the pachinko ball lifting device 5. It is set so that the rotation speed of the lifting motor 53 is increased by 10% of the normal speed.

According to the above configuration, the store staff manually turns on the switch whenever he or she deems it necessary, and sets a timer at a time (for example, 9:00 pm) just before the store is closed, and the time is set. The number of rotations of the transfer motor 51 of the pachinko ball hoisting device 5 and the hoisting motor 53 increases, and even in cases other than the above, the number of pachinko balls that have finished counting is increased by the prize ball counting device 31. The electromagnetic sensor 4 detects a pachinko ball by continuously passing through the discharge port 34 for a certain time (for example, 2 minutes or more), and the sensor circuit detects that the pachinko ball lifting device 5 has a transfer motor 51 and a lifting motor 53. The number of revolutions is increased to 10% of the normal speed. In the transfer pipe 50, the transfer spiral 54a attached to the rotary shaft of the transfer motor 51 is rotating in the direction for forwarding the object to be conveyed, and in the lift pipe 52, the rotary shaft of the lift motor 53 is rotated. The hoisting spiral 54b attached to is rotating in the direction in which the conveyed object is advanced, and the pachinko balls mixed with abrasive grains by these two rotating spirals 54 are polished by the action of the abrasive grains, It is conveyed to the sorting device 55 at a faster pace than the normal pace, separated into abrasive particles in the sorting device 55, sent to the replenishment gutter 6, and supplied to each front table 1 and inter-lens ball lending machine 8. go. Reference numeral 56 is an abrasive grain recovery pipe, 57 is an abrasive grain cleaning circulation pipe, and 58 is an abrasive grain cleaning device. The set value for increasing the rotation speed can be changed freely depending on the ability and polishing.

In the present embodiment, especially when the pachinko balls counted in the prize ball counter 31 and counted are no longer detected by the electromagnetic sensor 4, a time lag of about 120 seconds is set after that. It is set to operate so as to return the rotation speeds of the transfer motor 51 and the lifting motor 53 of the pachinko ball lifting device 5 to the normal state. The above operation state is illustrated in the flowchart of FIG.

In this way, in the present embodiment, first, the pachinko ball is the prize ball counting device 31 manually when the clerk recognizes the need, and automatically when the second timer setting time comes. When the pachinko ball lifting device 5 is continuously loaded, the lifting capacity of the pachinko ball lifting device 5 automatically increases, the polishing capacity is not reduced, and the pachinko ball lifting device 5 is not burdened. It is possible to always have a sufficient amount of pachinko balls required. In the third case, after 120 seconds, the rotation speeds of the transfer motor 51 and the lifting motor 53 automatically return to the normal state, and in the first case, the clerk judges and manually turns off the switch. In the second case, all the power will be turned off and reset after the store is closed.

Incidentally, it is also preferable to attach the manual switch or the timer switch to each of the pachinko islands 2 at the island end 3 or the like.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and any type of manual switch or timer switch may be used, and either one may be used, or both may be used together. Further, as a means for increasing the rotation speed of the transfer and hoisting motor, it is possible to adopt any means such as increasing the voltage or increasing the power supply frequency from 50 hertz to 60 hertz. Further, it is not necessarily required in the present invention that the rotation speeds of the transfer motor 51 and the lifting motor 53 can be controlled by the electromagnetic sensor 4 and the sensor circuit. However, when this is provided, the type of the sensor is an optical sensor. A micro switch equipped with a switch or an actuator is optional. In addition to the above, for continuous detection, a transparent sensor is installed near the prize ball counter to detect human activity continuously for the time in front of the prize ball counter, and the electromagnetic sensor 4 detects pachinko balls. The number of rotations may increase when it is sensed. Further, in the present embodiment, both the rotation speeds of the transfer motor and the lifting motor are increased, but in the case of the lifting means with one spiral body, the same effect can be obtained by lifting only the lifting motor. Play.

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, a prize ball counter is provided at an island end of an island formed by arranging a plurality of pachinko tops in parallel or at any position in the island, and the pachinko ball discharge port of the prize ball counter is used to collect the balls. On a pachinko island equipped with a prize ball counter, which is connected to a pachinko ball lifting device installed on the island, the abrasive particles and pachinko balls are agitated and mixed by a pachinko ball lifting device and lifted upward. Since the pachinko ball lifting device is equipped with a means for increasing the number of rotations of one or two motors and is equipped with a manual or automatic means for operating the means, a prize ball is placed at the prize ball counter. When brought in, the sensor operates to generate a detection signal of the prize ball, and in response to that, the means for increasing the rotation speed of one or two motors of the pachinko ball lifting device is activated, and the prize ball counter discharges. The pachinko balls that come out of the exit are Since it is sent to the supply gutter at a faster pace than that of, the amount of pachinko balls required for the table does not run short, and the prize balls that have been counted are collected in the gutter collection gutter. When it goes out and it is no longer detected, the signal stops and returns to the normal state, so the transfer speed of the pachinko ball lifting device and the rotation speed of the lifting motor are also returned to the normal state, and the pachinko ball is carefully cleaned. It became possible to replenish while polishing. That is, unlike the conventional pachinko ball lifting device of this type, the lifting capacity of the pachinko balls is not always fixed at a constant level regardless of whether it is high or low, but it is set to change according to the situation. Therefore, when there is a rush situation to replenish, it is possible to focus on pumping and replenishing rather than polishing pachinko balls, and conversely when pachinko balls are not replenished too quickly. The balls can be polished carefully, and there are no problems such as poor removal of pachinko balls over the entire operating time of the pachinko ball lifting device, consumption of a large amount of power, and shortened motor life. Made of excellent equipment.
