Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for removing and preventing condensation from pachinko balls.

P1 Sub-Eo configuration and its problems Conventional pachinko ball supply devices require cleaning, drying, and oil coating processes (not shown in the figure), as shown in Figure 1.
The pachinko balls 1 are sent to the pachinko ball supply channel 3 by means such as a lift 2, and the pachinko balls 1 are delivered to each kuchinko machine 4.
was supplying.

Here, the pachinko ball 1 is tilted to the pachinko ball supply channel 3, and at the same time, the pachinko ball supply channel 3 and the pachinko machine 4
A vibro, which is made of a metal wire processed into a spiral nob and has elasticity and bendability, was installed between the two and supplied to the pachinko machine.

In a device configured in this way, during winter and the rainy season, the difference in humidity between morning and evening, the humidity, and the temperature difference between the room and the bulb and the device (particularly in winter, when the room is heated, the temperature difference becomes large and condensation occurs. This caused problems such as dew condensation on pachinko balls, which caused the machine's condition to change slightly, making it difficult to control.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an apparatus that does not have the above-mentioned problems, namely:
The object of the present invention is to provide a condensation removal device capable of removing or preventing dew condensation.

Structure of the Invention The present invention provides a wind tunnel in which one end of the side surface and the bottom surface is open, and a heating element made of a positive temperature coefficient thermistor element is provided on one end side of the bottom surface, and a dehumidifier having a blower on the side surface side is provided. This device is configured to heat dehumidified dry air with a heating element and send warm air from the top of the pachinko ball supply tube to remove and prevent condensation from the pachinko balls. The reason for using a positive temperature coefficient thermistor element as the heating element here is that the power can be automatically controlled depending on the wind speed (air volume) and ambient temperature, which is a characteristic of a positive temperature coefficient thermistor element. This is to increase the effect of removing and preventing condensation by controlling the power.

The reason why air is removed with a dehumidifier having an air blower is to further enhance the effect of removing condensation from pachinko balls by using dry air.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order to clearly demonstrate the effects of the present invention, a description will be given with reference to FIG.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a wind tunnel in which side a and one end of the bottom are open.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a heating element formed of a plurality of positive temperature coefficient thermistor elements in the shape of a harmonica, and is connected to a power supply wire (not shown in the drawing). 13 is a dehumidifier having an air blower. Here, the heating element 2 is placed on the side of the bottom opening of the wind tunnel 11.
Dehumidifier 13 (capacity dehumidification 3f) with a blower, /' hour,
An air flow rate of 1.3 m3/min) was provided on the side opening a of the wind tunnel 11. As shown in Fig. 1, the pachinko ball condensation removal device constructed in this manner is attached to the pachinko ball supply channel 3 having an open top, in alignment with the bottom opening of the wind tunnel 11 of the pachinko ball condensation removal device. Ta. To this, AC 10oV
was applied to send air with a dehumidifying capacity of 32/hour and heated warm air into the pachinko ball supply tube 3.

The table below shows the results of investigating the effectiveness of removing condensation from pachinko balls by controlling the air volume of the dehumidifier with the above configuration.

Margin below Please note that regarding condensation on pachinko balls,
Leave it in the refrigerator at 0℃ for about 3 hours, then store it indoors (about 26℃).
) and look it up. The dew condensation effect is shown by the drying time at a distance of 1.5 m from the installation position of the pachinko ball condensation removal device.

The effect is that the drying time when left indoors is approximately 4
It was better than the previous 5 minutes.

It is thought that this is because hot air cannot flow through the spiral vibrator that connects the pachinko ball supply and the pachinko machine.

In addition, in the embodiment, the explanation was given regarding the removal of condensation from pachinko balls, but the effect was sufficient even if the pachinko ball removing device was operated from the beginning.

As described in detail, the present invention provides a heating element made of a positive temperature coefficient thermistor element and a dehumidifier having an air blower in a wind tunnel, and this is installed above a pachinko ball supply tube to provide dry and warm air. Since it is configured to blow air, it is possible to remove or prevent condensation from adhering to the pachinko balls.
