[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a smoke exhaust device for a game machine of this type generally has a structure as shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the configuration will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in the figure, the island 100 of the game machine is composed of a curtain plate 101, a support plate 102, a game machine 103, a counter stand 104, and a waist plate 105 from the upper part, and is attached to the curtain plate 101 as an accessory. Is a decorative case 107 with a built-in fluorescent lamp 106, and the support plate 102 has a calling lamp 1
08 is installed. Further, a ventilation port 110 for discharging dirty indoor air is installed on the ceiling surface 109.

In the above structure, the cigarette smoke smoked by the game player playing in front of the game machine 103 reaches the ceiling surface 109 while drifting around the game player and is discharged from the ventilation port 110.

[0005]

In such a conventional smoke exhaust device for a game machine, since the polluted air in the room is discharged through the ventilation port 110 of the ceiling surface 109, the smoke smoke discharge efficiency is poor and the game player's The smoke and cigarette smoke drift around the gamers, creating a smoke trap and deteriorating the surrounding environment. In addition, there was a problem that the smoke smoke of the smoker hits the directly adjacent game player. Further, there is a problem that heat can be accumulated around the game player due to heat generated from the fluorescent lamp 106 and the like.
Efficient removal of tobacco smoke and heat accumulation around the player is required.

The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and it is a first object of the present invention to eliminate smoke from the periphery of a game player to eliminate smoke traps around the game player and improve the surrounding environment.

A second object is to solve the smoke and heat accumulation all at once by removing the smoke and the heat generated from the fluorescent lamp from the vicinity of the player while maintaining the interior.

A third object is to efficiently and completely discharge the polluted air removed from the surroundings of the game player from the room, thereby improving the environment not only of the game player's surroundings but also of the entire playground. .

A fourth object is to eliminate the tobacco smoke generated from a smoker more quickly and efficiently from the surrounding area, and at the same time, to prevent the tobacco smoke from drifting to an adjacent player.

A fifth object is to save energy and prolong life by operating only when a player is present or smoking.

A sixth object is to more accurately determine the existence of a player. The seventh purpose is to reliably judge the existence of the game player.

An eighth object is to change the discharge capacity in accordance with the amount of cigarette smoke and to more efficiently remove the cigarette smoke from the surroundings of the player.

[0013]

In order to achieve the above object, the smoke exhaust device for a game machine according to the present invention has, on the bottom surface, a suction port chamber and a vane casing containing an impeller A directly connected to an electric motor A.
