【Example】

<Embodiment 1> Hereinafter, Embodiment 1 in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko game machine and is embodied will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

As shown in FIG. 1, a long counter 2 extending from the rightmost pachinko game table 1R to the leftmost pachinko game table 1L is provided on the front surface of a plurality of pachinko game tables 1 arranged in a horizontal row. Has been. The inside of this counter 2 is hollow with a rectangular cross section, and the inside of this hollow is a transport path 10. On the outer upper surface of the counter 2, each play ball exchange machine 3 between adjacent pachinko game machines 1, 1
An ashtray 11 is provided corresponding to the above. The bottom surface of this ashtray 11 is opened like a cage, and the ceiling surface 10 of the transport path 10 is
It is in communication with A, and it is possible to place a cigarette that has been sucked on it and to drop ash or cigarette butts into the transport path 10. Then, the ash and cigarette butts of the cigarette that have fallen from the gap of the ashtray 11 are conveyed to the transport path 10.
It is adapted to be stored at a position just below the ashtray 11 on the inner bottom surface 10B of the.

At the left and right ends of the transport path 10, recovery parts 12, 12 are formed by notching the inner bottom surface 10B thereof. The recovery unit 12 has a rectangular opening 12A that opens in a rectangular shape over the entire width of the transport path 10 in a range of a certain length from the most end position of the transport path 10, and the transport path 10 extends from the rectangular opening 12A. The trapezoidal opening 12B is formed in a trapezoidal shape so that the width becomes narrower toward the center side in a range of a constant length continuous toward the center side.

A stopper 13 is provided at a position adjacent to the rectangular opening 12A and the trapezoidal opening 12B of the recovery section 12 so as to slightly project from both front and rear inner wall surfaces of the transport path 10. A slide member 15, which will be described later, is brought into contact with the stopper 13, so that the slide member 15 stops moving at a position spaced apart from the outermost end surface of the transport path 10 by a predetermined distance. .

On the outer bottom surfaces of the left and right ends of the counter 2,
A housing 16 is provided whose upper surface is open and communicates with the collection unit 12. The side surface of the housing 16 is an outlet 16A that is open to the outside.
A collection box 17 is housed in the housing 16 from 6A. The collection box 17 is in the shape of a drawer with only the upper surface open, and can be pulled out from the housing 16 and removed. The collection box 17 housed in the housing 16 is in a state in which the take-out port 16A is closed and a fallen object from the collection unit 12 can be received.

A slide member 15, which is movable in the length direction (left-right direction) while being placed on the inner bottom surface 10B, is accommodated in the transport path 10. The slide member 15 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the width dimension thereof is the inner wall surface 1 of the conveyance path 10.
The height is slightly smaller than the distance between 0C and 10C, the height is such that a certain distance is left from the ceiling surface 10A of the conveyance path 10, and the thickness is such that the slide member 15 can stably stand on its own. It has certain dimensions.

To the left and right end surfaces of the slide member 15, the ends of a pair of wires (corresponding to the requirements of the invention) 19, 19 are connected. The connecting position of the wire 19 is the center position in the width direction. Further, the height of the connecting position is preferably set to a position slightly lower than the center of gravity of the slide member 15, for example, so that the slide member 15 can be prevented from falling down easily.

The two wires 19, 19 connected to the slide member 15 are reciprocally driven by driving mechanisms 20 provided individually, substantially parallel to the carrying direction of the carrying path 10. The drive mechanism 20 will be described below.

The two drive mechanisms 20 and 20 are provided adjacent to each other outside the left and right end surfaces of the counter 2 and have the same basic structure. The respective constituent members are arranged symmetrically. . Therefore, in the present embodiment, the specific configuration will be described only for the drive mechanism 20 on the left side (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

The drive mechanism 20 is housed and provided in a housing 21 fixed to the counter 2. A wire 19 is provided on the boundary wall 22 between the counter 2 and the housing 21.
A wire delivery port 23 for passing the wire is formed. At a position adjacent to the wire feeding port 23, there is a front-back direction (transport path 1
A winding drum 25 that is rotatable integrally with a rotary shaft 24 (horizontal direction perpendicular to the transport direction of 0) is supported, and a wire 19 is wound around the winding drum 25.

On the front side (lower side in FIG. 2) of the winding drum 25, a ratchet gear 26 which is rotatable integrally with the rotating shaft 24 and the winding drum 25 is supported. As shown in FIG. 4, a bracket 27 is provided above the ratchet gear 26.
Is fixedly provided to the housing 21, and the bracket 27 has a feeding restraining plate 28 having a vertically elongated elasticity.
Is supported by a shaft 29 at its upper end so as to be swingable in the left-right direction (the moving direction of the teeth 26A at the upper end of the ratchet gear 26). The teeth 2 of the ratchet gear 26 are wound as the wire 19 is wound up on the winding drum 25 and unwound from the winding drum 25.
When 6A moves, its teeth 26A come into contact with the lower end portion of the feed-out suppressing plate 28 and push it in the same direction. Further, the bracket 27 has a ratchet gear 26 when the wire 19 is paid out from the winding drum 25.
A displacement regulating plate 30 that regulates the displacement of the feeding restraining plate 28 pressed by the teeth 26A of the above is provided. This displacement regulation plate 3
No. 0 is attached by a bolt 32 and a nut 33 which are passed through the elongated hole 31, and the vertical height can be adjusted. The displacement restricting plates 30 are positioned near the payout suppressing plate 28, and when the payout suppressing plate 28 is pushed by the teeth 26A of the ratchet gear 26, the payout suppressing plate 28 is positioned more than the displacement restricting plate 30. The portion protruding downward is elastically deformed. Due to the elastic restoring force that accompanies this, a force that pushes back the teeth 26A is generated in the feed-out suppressing plate 28, and this push-back force acts as resistance to rotation of the ratchet gear 26 in the feed-out direction.

Ratchet gear 2 with winding drum 25 interposed
On the side opposite to 6, a clutch 35, a speed reducer 36, and a motor 37 are arranged in this order from the side closer to the winding drum 25. The clutch 35 has a drive shaft 38 for decelerating and outputting the rotational drive force of the motor 37 in the speed reducer 36 by an internal mechanism (not shown) and the rotary shaft 24 of the winding drum 25.
Between and, the rotation driving force in the winding direction of the winding drum 25 is transmitted and cut off. When the motor 37 is driven, the clutch 35 interlocks with it to transmit the rotational driving force, and when the driving of the motor 37 is stopped, the clutch 35 interlocks with it to interrupt the transmission of the rotational driving force. As a means for interlocking the engagement and disengagement of the clutch 35 with the motor 37, for example, a centrifugal clutch is used, and the drive shaft 3 of the motor 37 is used.
When the rotational force of 8 increases, a method of shifting from a transmission cutoff state to a transmission possible state by a mechanical operation using centrifugal force, or an electromagnetic clutch is used to simultaneously generate an electromagnetic signal for driving the motor 37. There is also a method of inputting to the clutch to shift from the transmission cutoff state to the transmission possible state.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
Items to be treated (not shown) such as cigarette ash and cigarette butts are stored at a position in the transport path 10 directly below each ashtray 11, but the ashtray 11 should be arranged at regular intervals in the transport direction. Therefore, these objects to be processed are also scattered throughout the transport path 10 at regular intervals.

In this state, if the motor 37 of the drive mechanism 20 on the left side is driven by operating a switch (not shown), the clutch 35 moves from the transmission interruption state of the rotational driving force to the transmission possible state, and the rotational drive of the motor 37 side is performed. The force is transmitted to the winding drum 25. This winding drum 25 is the wire 1
When 9 is wound up, the slide member 15 slides in the conveyance path 10 while moving leftward, and conveys the object to be processed located directly below each ashtray 11 while pushing it leftward.

In the meantime, the ratchet gear 26, which rotates integrally with the winding drum 25, has its teeth 26A for feeding out the suppression plate 28.
4 is swung to the right in FIG. 4 and is swung as indicated by the dashed line in the figure.
Since the ratchet gear 26 is freely moved around 9 without any resistance, it does not hinder the winding of the winding drum 25 in the ratchet gear 26.

On the other hand, in the drive mechanism 20 on the right side, since the motor 37 is stopped and the clutch 35 is in the transmission interruption state, the rotational driving force is not transmitted from the motor 37 to the winding drum 25, and the winding drum 25 is not transmitted. 25 is rotated in the direction in which the right wire 19 is unwound by the winding force of the left winding drum 25. In the ratchet gear 26 that rotates integrally with the winding drum 25, its teeth 26A push the feed-out suppressing plate 28 against the displacement restricting plate 30 to elastically deform it (the state shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. Because of the symmetrical state, the elastic restoring force of the feed-out suppressing plate 28 becomes a resistance against the rotation of the ratchet gear 26 and the take-up drum 25 in the take-out direction, and the take-up drum 25 is braked. Therefore, the wire 19 will not be excessively paid out from the winding drum 25 on the right side to cause slack.

The take-up drum 25 of the feed-out suppressing plate 28
The magnitude of the braking force with respect to is determined by moving the position of the displacement regulating plate 30 up and down to change the length of protrusion of the feed-out suppressing plate 28 from the displacement regulating plate 30. When the displacement regulating plate 30 is lowered to shorten the protruding length of the feeding restraining plate 28, the elastic restoring force thereof is increased, so that the brake becomes stronger, and conversely, when the displacement regulating plate 30 is raised, the brake becomes weaker.

As the movement of the slide member 15 progresses,
On the left side of the slide member 15, the amount of objects to be processed that are collected and transported during transportation increases. Then, when the slide member 15 approaches the left side recovery unit 12, the object to be processed falls into the recovery unit 12 and is stored in the recovery box 17. When the storage amount in the collection box 17 reaches a certain level, the collection box 17 may be taken out from the housing 16 and collected and discarded.

The slide member 15 is attached to the stopper 13
When it comes into contact with, it is prevented from moving further to the left.
The movement of the slide member 15 is stopped by, for example, the motor 37.
It is detected by a detecting means such as detecting that an overcurrent flows to the motor. When such detection is performed, the driving of the motor 37 is stopped. As a result, since the winding drum 25 continues to rotate while the slide member 15 is stopped, the wire 19
Is prevented from being cut.

When the slide member 15 is in contact with the stopper 13, the slide member 15 and the wire feeding port 2
Since a constant space is formed between the boundary wall 22 and the opening 3 of the slide member 1,
There is no risk of being pushed by the wire 5 and entering the inside of the housing 21 of the drive mechanism 20 from the wire feeding port 23.

After this, when the object to be processed is accumulated in the transport path 10, the motor 37 of the drive mechanism 20 on the right side is driven. Then, in the same manner as above, the slide member 15 moves to the right while collecting and transporting the objects to be processed, and the slide member 15
When the object reaches the right end of the transport path 10, the object to be processed drops from the recovery unit 12 into the recovery box. By repeating these steps alternately, the object to be processed is automatically conveyed while the slide member 15 reciprocates, and is collected in the collecting sections 12, 12 at both ends of the conveying path 10.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the objects scattered at a plurality of locations can be automatically collected and collected, so that the work efficiency of the collecting work is high. Further, since the recovery work only needs to operate the switch for driving the motor 37, the burden on the work type is reduced. It should be noted that if the motor is controlled so as to be automatically started every predetermined time, no manpower is required at all, and the burden on the operator can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, since the transport path 10 is provided inside the counter 2 and the objects to be processed are collected so as not to be noticed by the customers who are playing, there is no obstacle for the customers to play. Furthermore, in the belt conveyor and the roller conveyor, in addition to the space for transporting the object to be processed, a space for disposing the transport belt, rollers, etc. must be separately provided along the transport path. Then, since the slide member 15 moves in the space in which the object to be processed of the transfer path 10 is transferred, no extra space is required other than the space for transferring the object to be processed. .

<Second Embodiment> Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, a part of the configuration of the transport path and the configuration of the slide member are different from those in the first embodiment. Since the other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations, and the description of the structure, operation, and effect is omitted.

The transport path 40 of this embodiment is provided with a collecting section 42 only at its right end. This recovery unit 42
A pair of guide plates 43, 43 protruding from the opening edge on the left side to the right side are erected on the. This guide plate 43, 4
The left side portion extending in parallel with 3 is an inclined portion 43A that is inclined so that its upper edge is smoothly continuous to the inner bottom surface 40B of the conveyance path 40 and becomes higher toward the right side.
The right side portion continuing to 3A has a constant height, and the space between them expands to the right.
Has become. Further, a guide slope 43C is formed between the storage operation units 43B, 43B and is inclined to the left and is continuous with the inner bottom surface 40B of the conveyance path 40.

A drive mechanism 20 (not shown) having the same structure as that of the first embodiment is provided at both left and right ends of the conveying path 40, and the slide member 45 is moved to the left and right by the same operation as in the first embodiment. It is designed to reciprocate in the direction.

The slide member 45 is composed of a main body 46 to which the wires 19 and 19 are connected and a pair of blades 47 and 47. The main body 46 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and has a relatively large length dimension in the carrying direction and a small dimension in the width direction orthogonal to the carrying direction. The wires 19 and 19 are connected to the left and right end surfaces having a narrow width. A pair of blades 47, 47
Is rotatably supported by hinges 48, 48 on the left end of the main body 46 in a posture in which the plate surface is erected vertically, and is displaceable between the retracted state and the expanded state. There is.

With both vanes 47, 47 stored,
The tip of each vane 47 faces the right side where the recovery unit 42 is provided, and the plate surface of the vane 47 becomes parallel to the transport direction. As shown in FIG. 5, the slide member 45 in which the vane 47 is housed has a shape with a narrow width as a whole, and is in a state of being largely spaced from both inner wall surfaces 40C, 40C of the transport path 40. .

In the state where both blades 47, 47 are expanded, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the tips of both blades 47, 47 approach the inner wall surfaces 10C, 10C of the conveying path and the blades 47 are moved.
The plate surface of is oriented perpendicular to the transport direction. Both wings 4
The slide member 45 in which 7 and 47 are widened is wide open like a single plate as a whole to block the conveyance path 40.

A stopper 49 is attached to the outer surface of one of the vanes 40. Both wings 47, 47 are 18
In the state of being expanded at an angle of 0 °, the stopper 49 contacts the outer surface of the other blade 47, whereby the maximum expanding angle of both blades 47, 47 is regulated to 180 °,
The blade 47 is restricted so as not to rotate to the left at a larger angle.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
When the object to be processed (not shown) in the transfer path 40 is transferred, the wire 19 is moved by the drive mechanism 20 to recover the slide member 45 from the end of the transfer path 40 opposite to the recovery part 42. It is moved to the right toward the portion 42. When the slide member 45 starts to move, the blade 47 becomes in the expanded state shown in FIG. 6 due to the frictional resistance between the lower edge of the slide member 45 and the inner bottom surface 40B of the transport path 40. In this state, the slide member 45
When is moved, the object to be processed scattered in the middle of the conveying path 40 is pushed by the blades 47 and is conveyed to the collecting section side. As the slide member 45 advances, the slide member 4
When the amount of the object to be collected collected in 5 increases and the slide member 45 approaches the collecting unit 42, the object to be processed is collected in the collecting unit 42.
Fall through the opening.

At this time, when the slide member 45 approaches the recovery part 42 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 8, the blade 47 rides up on the inclined part 43A of the guide plate 43 as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. Furthermore, it moves on the storage operation part 43B.
Then, when the slide member 45 falls slightly beyond the storage operation portion 43B within the opening range of the recovery portion 42 as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 8, the movement of the slide member 45 to the right stops ( (Dashed line in FIG. 9).

After that, when the slide member 45 is reversed and moved to the left, the blades 47 are moved to the retracting operation portions 43B and 43B.
As a result, after passing through the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 10, as shown by the broken line in FIG.
47 is closed and put in the storage state. At this time, the slide member 45 can smoothly climb on the inner bottom surface 40B of the transport path 40 without being caught by the guide slope 43C between the storage operation portions 43B, 43B. After the slide member 45 passes between the guide plates 43, 43,
The wing plate 47 moves away from the recovery unit 42 while being in the retracted state, and moves toward the left end of the transport path 40.

At this time, the wing plate 47 is supported by the left end portion of the main body 46, so that it does not spread while moving to the right. Therefore, even if an object to be processed newly falls in the transport path 40 while the above operation is performed, the slide member 45 moves so as to slip through the object to be processed. Therefore, the object to be processed is the slide member 4
It will not be pushed by 0 and transported to the left side, and will be transported when the slide member 45 moves rightward again and collected in the recovery section 42. And the slide member 4
When 5 reaches the end portion on the left side, its movement is stopped and the slide member 45 stands by in the stored state.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the slide member 45 does not carry the object to be processed when moving to the left, but carries the object to be processed only when moving to the right, and the collecting section 42. The collecting section 42 can be provided only at one position on the right end of the transport path 40 by collecting the collecting section 42. As a result, the space required for providing the recovery unit is smaller than that in the case where the recovery unit is provided at both ends of the transport path, and the work for recovering the object to be processed accumulated in the recovery unit is also reduced. . Further, in the case of mechanically collecting the object to be processed from the collecting unit 42 without manual labor,
The cost and space required for the equipment can be reduced.
