2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown by a part in FIG. 1, an upper tank 3 communicating with an end of an upper path 2 communicating with each of the pachinko machines 1, and a lifting device communicating with the upper tank 3. In the pachinko island where the main tank 5 and the sub tank 6 communicating with each other on the lower side of the tank 4 are usually provided, when the balls are filled to a full level, the intake of the ball counter 15 is closed. When the proximity sensor of the upper tank 3 is turned off from on, if any one of the three proximity sensors 5a to 5c of the main tank 5 is on, the ball is in the main tank. It is determined that there is a ball in 5 and the main tank 5
The shutter 5d of the upper tank 3 is opened in the ON state, and is conveyed to the upper tank 3 by the lifting device 4, so that the upper tank 3
Main tank 5 until the proximity sensor turns off to on
When the shutter 5d of the upper tank 3 is opened and the proximity sensor of the upper tank 3 is full and the shutter is turned on, the shutter 5d of the main tank 5 closes and the ball circulates in the island, and The number of balls in the main tank 5 gradually increases and the balls in the main tank 5 disappear (the lower proximity sensor 5c
Is turned on from off), the proximity sensor of the upper tank 3 is turned off from on, and all the proximity sensors 5a to 5c of the main tank 5 are turned off, and the shutter 6d of the sub tank 6 is opened with the shutter on. In that case,
In order to increase the operation rate of the balls by discharging all the balls remaining at a level lower than the proximity sensor 5c below the main tank 5, the shutters 5 of the main tank 5 and the sub tank 6 are used.
The balls d and 6d are opened at the same time, and the ball discharged from the sub tank 6 is conveyed to the upper tank 3 by the lifting device 4 until the proximity sensor of the upper tank 3 is turned on from off. Eventually, when the proximity sensor of the upper tank 3 is turned on in a full state, the shutters 5d and 6d of the main tank 5 and the sub tank 6 are closed, and the proximity sensor 6a on the sub tank 6 is turned off from on.
When the number of returns to the ball counter 15 by the customer increases, balls are gradually stored in the main tank 5, and when the proximity sensor 5c below the main tank 5 is turned on, the state of the sub tank 6 is controlled by the controller. If any one of the proximity sensors 6a to 6c of the sub tank 6 is turned off while monitoring, the shutter 5d of the main tank 5 is opened, and the ball is conveyed to the upper tank 3 by the lifting device 4, and the Until the ball overflows from the upper tank 3 and the sub-tank 6 is full of balls, transfer and conveyance are started by the lifting device 4, and thus the ball circulates on the island or is returned to the island by the customer's hand. By repeating, the number of balls on the island is kept at a certain amount.

[0003]

However, even if the main tank and the sub tank are equipped, if the number of balls held by the customer increases, the number of balls in both tanks becomes insufficient, and the pachinko island is replenished with balls. The ball management was poor.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been devised to solve such a problem and to effectively manage the balls in a pachinko island. are those configured by deploying sub sub tank connected to the lower side of the upper device to both ends of the island, the inclination of the lower path continuously provided the sub sub tank in the lower part of the overflow pipe and elevating device from the upper path termination Upper side

Therefore, the pachinko balls B flow in the pachinko island A as indicated by arrows in FIG. 2, but the pachinko balls B are stored in the main tank 5 and the sub tank 6, respectively. Out balls from the machine 1 and the balls of the main tank 5 and the sub tank 6 are fed to the upper tank 3 and distributed to each of the pachinko machines 1 and the like. The balls flowing from 2 can be received and stored in the sub-sub tanks 7, 7 through the overflow pipes 8, 8, and when the fever is performed a lot and the balls in the main tank 5 and the sub-tank 6 run short, the sensors 5c, 6c detect The operated lifts 10, 10 allow the balls in the sub-sub-tanks 7, 7 to flow out to the lower paths 9, 9 to be supplied to the upper tank 3.

In this case, when the lifts 10, 10 are actuated, a large number of balls at the end of the lower base 11 are placed in a state in which each of the upwardly-moving interlocking pieces 14 passes through the respective cutout recesses 11a at the end of the lower base 11. Can be lifted as it is because each of the transfer pieces 14 can be scooped smoothly, and each of the transfer pieces 14 that rotates in the upper part of the lift 10 It can be smoothly pushed out onto the upper base 12 while being spread over one surface, and each transfer piece 14 subsequently passes through each cutout recess 12 a at the end of the upper base 12.

FIG. 10 to FIG. 15 show another embodiment.
As shown by the same reference numerals as those of the above embodiment, the structure is substantially the same, but an outlet 28 is formed on the lateral side surface at the lower end of the overflow pipe 8, and the balls 28 are connected so that the outlet 28 communicates with the side. On the bottom of the reservoir case 29, both sides have a diameter of 2 mm.
A circular passage hole 27 is formed at the center so as to have an interval smaller than twice, and a notch 26a
The motor base 3 is fitted with a half-moon shaped drum-shaped shutter 26 having

Below the guide plate 30 extending from 8, a guide plate 31 communicating above the sub-sub-tank 7 is provided.

Therefore, the ball flows in the island as in the previous embodiment. However, if the proximity sensor 5b in the main tank 5 is turned on and the filling level sensor 20a in the sub-sub tank 7 is turned on. If the shutter 26 is
As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 15, the notch 26a is rotated so as to face the side opposite to the outlet 28, and the ball flowing from the outlet 28 into the ball storage case 29 is closed so as not to drop from the passage hole 27. And the filling level sensor 20
If a is off, the shutter 26 is
As shown in the figure, the notch 26a turns to face the outlet 28 side and opens for 4 seconds, and then intermittently operates while being repeatedly closed to only 6 seconds. The ball flowing from the outlet 28 into the ball storage case 29 falls from the passage hole 27 on the side of the notch 26a and is supplied to the sub-sub-tank 7, in which case the main tank 5 and the sub-tank 6 are replenished. The lift 10, which operates only in the empty state, does not operate.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the normal ball management of the entire pachinko island is performed by the ball storage in the main tank 5 and the sub-tank 6, but when the ball is excessive, the ball flowing from the upper path 2 is removed. If the balls in the main tank 5 and the sub-tank 6 run short due to a large amount of fever and the number of balls in the sub-tank 7 becomes insufficient, the balls in the sub-sub tank 7 flow out to the lower path 9. As a result, the upper tank 3 can be replenished, so that the ball management of the entire pachinko island can be effectively performed without interrupting and replenishing the ball from the outside as in the conventional case. It has features that can be implemented.
