2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional purifying material separating apparatus, there is one as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, for example. That is, the sieve 1 connected to the upper end of the polishing cylinder is
The pachinko balls move as if straddling adjacent round bars.

[0003]

However, in such a conventional purifying material separating apparatus, when the pachinko balls in adjacent rows are in contact with or close to each other, and particularly when the pachinko balls move continuously, The cleaning material is sandwiched between the pachinko balls, and the pachinko balls are carried together, and the cleaning material cannot be separated. Therefore, it is necessary to connect a plurality of sieve bodies 1 in series, and there is a problem that the apparatus becomes large and the cost increases.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a purifying material separating apparatus capable of reducing the size of the apparatus and reducing the cost. And

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the gist of the present invention is as follows: 1. A sieve body is connected to the upper end of the polishing cylinder, and the pachinko balls flowing out from the upper end of the polishing cylinder, the purifying material, In the purifying material separating apparatus for separating pachinko balls, the sieve body is a partition member for guiding the pachinko balls into a plurality of rows and guiding the pachinko balls, and a pachinko ball for a pachinko ball disposed in a gap between both adjacent partition members. The pachinko balls move while alternately hitting the partitioning members on both sides, so that gaps for purifying material fall are alternately formed between the pachinko balls and the partitioning member that does not hit the pachinko balls. A purifying material separating apparatus, wherein the receiving rail member is meandering in a moving direction of the pachinko ball.

2. A purifying material separation apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a brush gate for purging the purifying material is provided at an end portion of the sieve body.

[0007]

[Function] Pachinko balls are separated by a partition member, the gap between pachinko balls in adjacent rows is kept constant,
The cleaning material does not get caught between pachinko balls. In addition, the pachinko balls inserted between the adjacent partition members abut on the receiving rail member and, for example, abut one of the adjacent partition members. At this time, a gap for purifying material is formed between the other partition member and the pachinko ball, and the purifying material falls through the gap.

When the pachinko ball rolls on the receiving rail member, the distance between the receiving rail member and one of the partition members gradually decreases because the receiving rail member meanders in the moving direction. Inevitably, the distance between the receiving rail member and the other partition member gradually increases, so that the pachinko balls come into contact with the one partition member from the other partition member, and the one partition member and A gap for purifying material is formed between the pachinko balls.

At this time, the purifying material that has been sandwiched between the pachinko balls and one of the partition members falls from the purifying material dropping gap.

That is, the pachinko balls move while alternately hitting the partition members on both sides, and the purifying material is not transported while being sandwiched between the pachinko balls and the partition material.

That is, the purifying material flowing out from the upper end of the polishing cylinder to the sieve together with the pachinko balls falls from the gap between the sieves, and the pachinko balls and the purifying material are surely separated by the sieve.

In the case where a brush gate for removing the cleaning material is provided at the end of the rail member, the cleaning material carried together with the pachinko balls is finally removed by the brush gate and transported together with the pachinko balls. Never.

A quadrilateral receiving plate 15 is externally fitted to the upper end 11 of the polishing cylinder 10, and the receiving plate 15 is continuous with the lower edge of each outlet 12. The receiving plate 15 is provided with a purifying material separating device 30a for separating the pachinko balls flowing out of the discharge port 12 of the polishing cylinder 10 from the purifying material.

The purifying material separating apparatus 30a includes two sieves 30. The two sieves 30 are connected to opposing edges of the receiving plate 15, and the two sieves 30 extend radially around the polishing cylinder 10. Have been banished. The two sieves 30 have substantially the same configuration, and one sieve 30 will be described below as a representative.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 4 to 6, the sieve body 3
0 has a pair of side wall plates 31. A pair of side wall plates 31
Are narrower at the end 33 than at the start 32. Suspension plates 34 and 34a are installed on the pair of side wall plates 31 at an intermediate portion between the start end side and the end side. Similarly, a tall support plate 35 is installed on the pair of side wall plates 31 on the start end side.
Two short supporting plates 36 and 37 are installed on the end side.

The sieve 30 has a partition member 40 and receiving rail members 50 disposed between the adjacent partition members 40. The pachinko balls roll on each upper edge 52 of the receiving rail member 50. A support rod 39 bridged between the pair of side wall plates 31 penetrates through the lower hole of each receiving rail member 50, and the intermediate portion of each receiving rail member 50 is supported by the supporting rod 39 so as not to bend downward. Have been.

Each partition member 40 is formed such that the start end side is lower than the end end side, and the end end side is a suspension plate 34,3.
4a, and is supported by being inserted between the support plates 4a. The starting end 53 and the terminating end 54 of the receiving rail member 50 are supported by the support plate 35 and the support plate 36, respectively. Each receiving rail member 50 is moved from the start end 53 to the end 5 so that the pachinko balls roll downward.
It is inclined downward toward 4. Receiving rail member 50
In the middle part between the start end 53 and the end end 54, two step portions 55 for sifting the purifying material are formed.

The starting end 53 and the terminating end 54 of the receiving rail member 50 extend over the center of both partitioning members 40 in both lateral directions. A meandering portion 56 meandering in the moving direction of the pachinko ball is formed at an intermediate portion between the start end portion 53 and the end portion 54 of the receiving rail member 50.

The meandering portion 56 has a sloping portion 57 on the starting end side skewing from the starting end 53 toward the one partition member 40, and a straight line on the starting end side extending along the one partition member 40 continuously therefrom. A part 58, an intermediate sloping part 57 a skewing toward the other partition member 40 continuously from the part 58, a straight part 59 on the end side extending continuously along the other partition member 40, And a skewing portion 57b on the terminal end side which is skewed toward the central portion and connected to the terminal end portion 54.

A bottom plate 38 is bridged between the two support plates 36 and 37, and the bottom plate 38 is inclined downward, and the bottom plate 38 is connected to the terminal end 54 of the receiving rail member 50. A brush gate 60 for removing the cleaning material is provided at the terminal end 54 of the receiving rail member 50. Brush gate 60
The brush member 61 is attached to the lower end of the suspension plate 34a.

Below the two sieves 30, there is provided a tapered cleaning material collecting body 70, and a receiving portion 71 of the cleaning material collecting body 70 faces the sieve 30. Is connected to the recovery pipe 75.

A supply path 81 for the game machine island is provided adjacent to the end of the bottom plate 38. A gap is provided between the terminal end of the bottom plate 38 and the supply path 81 to such an extent that the pachinko balls can fall, and the gap is faced from below, and when the supply path 81 becomes full of pachinko balls, A recovery path 85 for storage is provided so as to flow.

Next, the operation will be described. When the spiral body (not shown) in the polishing cylinder 10 is rotated by the drive motor 20, the pachinko balls and the purifying material are pumped together by the spiral body and flow out to the receiving plate 15 through the respective outlets 12.

The pachinko balls and the purifying material that have flowed out flow into the sieve body 30. At this time, since the two sieves 30 are connected to the upper end 11 of the polishing cylinder 10, a relatively large amount of pachinko balls and a purifying material can be poured into the two sieves 30.
The pachinko balls and the purifying material fall into the receiving rail member 50 through the gap between the partition members 40. The fallen pachinko ball rolls obliquely downward on the upper edge 52 of the receiving rail member 50.

At this time, the pachinko balls come into contact with either one of the two partition members 40, and the pachinko balls in the adjacent rows are separated by the partition members 40 and do not come into contact with each other. The material is not transported so as to be sandwiched between pachinko balls.

When the pachinko balls roll while abutting against one of the partition members 40, the pachinko balls may be conveyed so that the purifying material is sandwiched between the one of the partition members 40 and the pachinko balls. In such a case, when the pachinko ball hits the meandering portion 56 of the receiving rail member 50 and rolls through the starting end side straight portion 58 through the starting end side sloping portion 57, the starting end side straight portion 58 and one side move. In this case, the interval between the straight portion 58 on the start end side and the other partition member 40 is increased, so that the pachinko ball moves to the other partition member 40 and the one partition member 40 comes into contact with the other partition member 40. As a result, a gap is formed between the one partition member 40 and the pachinko ball, and the cleaning material that has been conveyed between the one partition member 40 and the pachinko ball is transferred to the one partition member 40 and the receiving rail. It falls from the gap between the member 50.

On the other hand, when the cleaning material is transported so as to be sandwiched between the other partition member 40 and the pachinko ball, the pachinko ball reaches the meandering portion 56 of the receiving rail member 50 and is located on the starting end side. When the pachinko ball is rolling on the straight portion 58 on the starting end side through the sloping portion 57, the pachinko ball is still in contact with the other partition member 40, and the cleaning material is continuously transported while being sandwiched.

When the pachinko ball rolls on the straight portion 59 on the terminal end side through the middle sloping portion 57a of the receiving rail member 50, the straight portion 59 on the terminal side and the other partition member 40 are rotated.
Is narrowed, and conversely, the interval between the straight portion 59 on the terminal side and the one partition member 40 is widened, so that the pachinko ball moves to the one partition member 40 side, and the pachinko ball moves from the other partition member 40 to one side. Comes into contact with the partition member 40. As a result, a gap is formed between the other partition member 40 and the pachinko balls, and the cleaning material that has been conveyed between the other partition member 40 and the pachinko balls is transferred to the other partition member 40 and the receiving rail. It falls from the gap between the member 50.

That is, the pachinko balls flowing out from the upper end portion 11 of the polishing cylinder 10 to the sieve body 30 roll on the receiving rail member 50 of the sieve body 30, and the purifying material flowing out together with the pachinko balls is a sieve body. The pachinko balls and the purifying material are surely separated by the sieve body 30 by dropping from the gap 30.

When the pachinko balls hit the brush gate 60 provided at the end portion 54 of the receiving rail member 50, the cleaning material attached to the pachinko balls and carried together is finally removed by the brush member 61. It will not be dropped and transported with the pachinko balls.

The separated and dropped cleaning material passes through the receiving portion 71 of the cleaning material recovery body 70 and flows out of the front end port into the recovery pipe.

The pachinko balls that have passed through the brush gate 60 pass through the bottom plate 38, jump over the gap between the bottom plate 38 and the supply path 81 for the gaming machine island, and flow into the supply path 81.
When the supply path 81 is full of pachinko balls, the pachinko balls do not flow into the supply path 81 and the bottom plate 38 and the supply path 81
, And falls into the recovery path 85 for storage.

In the above embodiment, a step 55 for sifting the purifying material is provided at an intermediate portion between the starting end 53 and the terminating end 54 of the receiving rail member 50. At the end portion 54 of the receiving rail member 50, the purifying material is completely sieved and is not transported together with the pachinko balls.

[0035]

According to the purifying material separating apparatus of the present invention, the pachinko balls that have flowed into the sieve body move while alternately hitting the partition members on both sides due to the meandering of the receiving rail members. Since the purifying material is dropped from the gap between the partition member and the other, the purifying material is reliably dropped even with a relatively short sieve body, and it is not necessary to provide a plurality of sieve bodies, and the device becomes compact. , Cost can be reduced.

Also, since the brush gate for removing the purifying material is provided at the end of the rail member, the pachinko balls and the purifying material can be reliably separated.
