[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a pachinko machine, which is a game machine, and more particularly to a pachinko ball recovery machine for recovering iron balls used for the game.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 There is a game called "pachinko" that repels iron balls, puts them in the holes provided in the table, and collects as many rewards as possible. This iron ball is generally called a pachinko ball, but this pachinko ball may fall from the saucer provided on the amusement platform to the floor or may spill during transportation. Since pachinko balls roll on the floor, they sometimes scatter around and dive underneath the corners of playgrounds, chairs, etc. Conventionally, this pachinko ball is swept with a broom and put in a dust remover, or it is adsorbed with a tool such as a cane with a magnet at the tip, and the pachinko ball is picked up by hand and separated from the magnet and collected in a case etc. Was.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by this device]

 With the method of sweeping with a broom as described above, it is difficult for the pachinko ball to be easily put in the dust catcher because it has the property of rolling freely. In addition, it is unsanitary because it is collected together with dust and dirt, and there is also a problem that the pachinko ball becomes dirty. It is troublesome to collect the pachinko balls from the magnet one by one, and it is troublesome to collect them using a tool that uses magnetite, and it is necessary to carry a case to collect the collected pachinko balls. There are challenges. As described above, the work is extremely troublesome by any of the above methods, and it is extremely uneconomical to spend valuable manpower for a long time.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides a pachinko ball recovery machine that can recover pachinko balls in a sanitary manner and can perform recovery work extremely smoothly and efficiently. The purpose is to

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The pachinko ball recovery machine according to the present invention comprises wheels, rollers that interlock with the wheels, and a recovery case that stores the pachinko balls. Wheels are for the recovery machine to run on the floor and are equipped with multiple wheels. One or more of these wheels are linked to the roller. The roller has a cylindrical shape with left and right shafts fixed, and has a plurality of magnetic bands on its outer peripheral surface. A permanent magnet or an electromagnet can be used as the magnetic band. The plurality of magnetic bands are exposed at appropriate intervals in the circumferential direction of the roller, that is, the rotation direction.

Although the roller rotates in conjunction with the wheel, the outer peripheral surface of the wheel and the outer peripheral surface of the roller may be brought into rolling contact with each other for interlocking operation, and a pulley or a gear that is laid on top of each other may be employed. The roller works only in one direction of the wheel, and when the wheel rotates in the opposite direction to the one direction that is not preferable for the roller, a mechanism for removing this working is necessary. As the mechanism, a ratchet wheel ratchet mechanism or a ratchet mechanism that meshes rollers and balls can be adopted. When the roller engages with the wheel, the roller must rotate in the opposite direction of the one-way rotation of the wheel.

A recovery case is provided so that one of the edges contacts or is close to the outer peripheral surface of the roller. The magnetic bands adsorb the pachinko balls while the rollers rotate in reverse as the wheels rotate. Further rotation causes the pachinko ball to hit the edge of the collection case and prevent the pachinko ball from rotating further with the roller. Pachinko spheres away from the magnetic zone fall into the case as they are stripped off by the edges of the collection case.

[0008]

[Action]

 The roller rotates only in one direction of rotation of the wheel and rotates in the opposite direction of the wheel. If a pachinko ball rolling on the floor while the roller is rotating is near the roller, it is adsorbed by the magnetic band on the roller surface. Further rotation causes the pachinko ball to hit the edge of the collection case and prevent it from rotating further with the roller, causing the pachinko ball to be stripped from the magnetic strip and dropped into the collection case. When the wheels rotate in the opposite direction, the rollers do not rotate, and the pachinko balls already adsorbed and attached to the magnetic band do not return to the floor.

[0009]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a cover, and wheels 2 are axially fixed to the four corners of the cover 1 so that only a part thereof projects from the lower surface thereof. One of the running directions of the wheels 2 is the front part, and between the wheels 2 and 2 located on the front part side, there is a pachinko ball entrance 3 opened at a desired height from the floor. A roller 4 is rotatably supported by a shaft so as to interlock with one of the left and right wheels 2. The roller 4 is a cylindrical member, but a rotary coupling mechanism 5 is provided between the roller 4 and the wheel 2. That is, in the rotary coupling mechanism 5, a connecting wheel 6 rollingly contacting the outer periphery of the wheel 2 and a shaft 7 of the connecting wheel 6 and the roller 4 are connected by a ratchet wheel ratchet mechanism 8. The ratchet mechanism 8 causes the roller 4 to rotate in association with the reverse direction of rotation when the wheel 2 moves forward, and does not transmit the rotation to the roller 4 when the wheel 2 rotates backward.

On the outer peripheral surface of the roller 4, a plurality of magnetic bands 9 parallel to the axis are exposed. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the magnetic band 9 has one surface of the permanent magnet 10 arranged in the roller 4 as an outer peripheral surface. The magnetic strips 9 are exposed at appropriate intervals in the circumferential direction of the roller 4, and the magnetic strips 9 and 9 are nonmagnetic portions that are not magnetic. A collection case 11 is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the roller 4 in parallel with the axis of the roller 4 to a position where one of the edges is in contact with the roller 4 or is close to the contact. On the back side of the recovery case 11, a lid with one side left and right is fixed so that it can be opened. A shaft 13 is attached to the left and right side surfaces of the cover 1 and attached with a handle 13. That is, the handle 13 can freely change its angle when the recovery machine is moved forward and backward by the wheels 2.

The recovery operation using such a pachinko ball recovery machine will be described below. The recovery machine is carried forward with the handle 13, and the pachinko balls 14 scattered on the floor are taken in from the pachinko ball entrance 3. The pachinko ball 14 is attracted to the magnetic band 9 of the roller 4 (Fig. 4), and when the roller 4 further rotates, it comes into contact with the edge of the collection case 11 and prevents further rotation with the roller 4 (Fig. 5). . When the roller 4 further rotates, the pachinko ball 14 is separated from the surface of the roller 4 and falls into the collection case 11. When the recovery machine travels in the opposite direction, the rotation of the wheel 2 is not transmitted to the roller 4 by the rotary coupling mechanism 5. Therefore, the pachinko ball 14 once adsorbed on the magnetic band 9 does not return to the floor side.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various other modes can be adopted. As the rotation coupling mechanism 5, it is possible to employ a pulley that is laid on a hook or a gear. In either case, the ratchet wheel ratchet mechanism 8 may be adopted so that the wheel 2 rotates in association with only one side, or a ratchet mechanism for interlocking rollers or balls may be adopted. It is also possible to employ an electromagnet having an excitation winding as the magnetic band 9.

[0013]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the following effects can be obtained. Since the pachinko balls are adsorbed and collected by a roller having a magnetic band, the balls can be collected hygienically without being collected together with dust and dirt. Since the pachinko balls are dropped into the collection case to be collected, it is not necessary for the worker to collect the balls into any of the collection cases, the collection work can be performed very efficiently and smoothly, and valuable manpower is not spent for a long time. Since the roller has a non-magnetic part, the pachinko ball automatically falls into the collection case. Therefore, there is no need for the worker to pick up the pachinko ball from the roller, which is one factor that makes the work smooth. Since the rollers rotate in conjunction with the wheels, there is no need for a prime mover to rotate the rollers, so it can be provided as an inexpensive device. Since the roller rotates only in one direction of the wheel, the pachinko ball does not return to the floor side and fall even when traveling in the opposite direction.
