Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a surplus ball discharging machine for a pachinko ball counting device that is novel and has great industrial applicability.

Originally, in a pachinko ball counting device for counting prize balls acquired by players at a pachinko game parlor at a counter and exchanging them for prizes, the remaining balls from the difference between the number of prize balls and the number of balls exchanged for prizes were used to If the surplus balls could be automatically ejected using a surplus ball ejector connected to the counting device, it would greatly reduce the amount of labor required on the part of the game parlor, but it would also be extremely sloppy and inconvenient on the part of the players. This is the reason why surplus balls that have been treated with care are returned accurately, and in any case, although the effect is enormous, nothing effective has yet appeared.

This is because, although such a surplus ball discharging machine is theoretically possible, it requires a considerably large mechanism and requires an excessively high investment for returning surplus balls.

Focusing on this point, the inventor of the present invention, as a result of various researches, has developed a new configuration that has never been seen before, which is compact, lightweight, inexpensive, and extremely efficient for ejecting excess balls. By completing this machine, we have solved the above-mentioned problems in the industry.

Next, the configuration of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to the drawings showing one embodiment.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a top cover of the machine of the present invention, on which the main body 2 of the pachinko ball counting device is installed in a detachable manner.For example, as shown in FIGS. Legs 3 for adjusting the height of the ball counting device main body 2...
By drilling the main body installation opening 4 for locking the pachinko ball counting device 2, the optimum positioning for stable placement of the pachinko ball counting device main body 2 can be achieved, and the attachment/detachment operation is extremely simple. It is reliable and very effective.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a pachinko ball receiving plate which is tilted downward and fixed to receive the ball outlet 6 of the pachinko ball counting device main body 2, and 7 is a pachinko ball receiving plate which is protruded from the center of the pachinko ball receiving plate 5. ,
Due to the presence of the distributing protrusion 7 forming the planar V-shaped end wall 71, most of the balls falling from the ball outlet 6 of the pachinko ball counting device main body 2 pass through the planar V-shaped end wall. 7
The flow is divided in the left and right directions along line 1.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a return ball discharge guide for causing the falling balls from the pachinko ball receiving plate 5 to flow down in the reverse direction, and the starting end 8
1 is spaced from the downward end of the pachinko ball receiving plate 5 by a distance d that is slightly larger in diameter than the pachinko balls.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a discharge port opened at the center of the starting end 81 of the returned ball carrying out guide 8, and therefore, the discharge port 9 is formed in a V-shape at the center of the pachinko ball receiving plate 5 as shown in the figure. It will be located directly below the expanded end of the distributing projection 7 provided.

10 is disposed at the downward end of the returned ball carrying out guide 8, and a sensor 11 for detecting pachinko balls flowing down in tandem is disposed at the downward end of the returned ball carrying out guide 8. As shown in the figure, the downward end opening of the return method carry-out guide 8 prevents the pachinko balls from flowing down, and when the ball is energized, the opening is released by the suction of the valve body, and the return method is transferred to the return method receiving tray 12 by its own weight. The sensor 10 and the electromagnetic control valve 11 are electrically connected to each other via a control board 14 disposed at a proper location within the case 13, and the control board 14 is a surplus ball discharger control code (not shown).

), and when the return operation switch 15 is turned on, the remaining number of balls counted by the pachinko ball counting device main body 2 is detected by these sensors 10 and the electromagnetic control valve 11. When a predetermined number of pachinko balls have been ejected, the electromagnetic control valve 11 is demagnetized to prevent the pachinko balls from flowing down to the return tray 12.

In addition, 16 is a return method receiving port opened at the lower end of the slope of the return method receiving tray 12, 17 is a return operation display lamp that lights up during the return operation of the device of the present invention, 18 is a power transformer, 1
9...19 is a height adjustment leg, and 20 is a power switch.

In the present invention, most of the pachinko balls flowing down from the ball outlet 6 of the pachinko ball counting device main body 2 are
The flow is divided to the left and right along the character-shaped end wall 71, and the
1 flows down to the starting end 81 of the return ball carrying out guide.

Therefore, most of the falling balls from the pachinko ball counting device main body 2 are not received below the machine of the present invention through the discharge port 9 that opens just below the expanded end edge of the V-shaped end wall 71, and are returned to the machine. The balls are reversely flowed down the carry-out guide 8 and stored in the return ball carry-out guide 8, thereby preparing for the discharge of surplus balls at the downward end of the return ball carry-out guide 8.

Therefore, when the returned ball carrying out guide 8 is filled with falling balls in this manner, the falling balls will overflow through the discharge port 9 that opens at the starting end 81 of the returned ball carrying out guide 8. Needless to say.

Therefore, in the machine of the present invention, whenever a player inserts prize balls into the pachinko ball counting device main body 2, the pachinko balls determined by the capacity of the return ball ejection guide 8 are always supplied as surplus balls. - All of the pachinko balls that are stored will overflow to the lower part of the machine of the present invention, and based on this structure and operation, the return ball ejecting guide 8, which is the pachinko ball storage section, is made to the minimum necessary size and the pachinko ball is It is possible to achieve a dramatic reduction in size and weight as a ball return machine, and this miniaturization coupled with an extremely compact internal configuration allows for extremely low manufacturing costs. Its benefits are great, such as the effect of reducing labor on the game parlor side by connecting it to the main body of the device, and the effect of accurately and easily catching leftover balls on the player side.

In addition, the pachinko ball receiving plate 5, which constitutes the main part of the present invention, has the above-mentioned flow dividing effect due to the distribution protrusion 7, and its downward end is connected to the starting end 81 of the return ball delivery guide 8, which has a diameter slightly larger than that of the pachinko balls. Due to the above-mentioned configuration in which the pachinko balls are separated by an interval d, it has the effect of arranging the pachinko balls that are reversed and flowed down the return ball ejection guide 8 in one stage, and the falling pachinko balls are accumulated in multiple stages and flow down, so that the sensor 10 detects the falling pachinko balls. There is no problem in detection and discharge of surplus balls by the electromagnetic control valve 11.

Furthermore, in the present invention, as shown in the figure, a pachinko ball velocity absorbing plate 21 having a dogleg shape is erected at the good end 81 of the returned ball ejection guide 8, facing the pachinko ball receiving plate 5, and the pachinko ball By blocking the pachinko balls flowing down from the receiving plate 5 and causing them to reversely flow down to the return ball carry-out guide 8, the speed of the falling balls is absorbed and the speed is slowed down, and the starting end 81 of the return ball carry-out guide 8 This is the reason why the column commutation of the pachinko balls from both sides of the discharge port 9 toward the downward end of the return ball carrying out guide is particularly smoothed, and is extremely effective.
