Description

The present invention is a unit recovery unit that is provided inside a pachinko machine stand, collects the discharged balls from the pachinko machine or the returned balls from the ball return device, and finally allows them to be led out to a reduction machine that is a ball polishing mechanism. It is about cocoon.

  In the pachinko island stand, the used balls discharged from the pachinko machine and the return balls returned from the ball return device are collected in a collection tank installed at the bottom of the island stand and stored in a storage tank. Is being lifted up to the top of the island while polishing with a reduction machine, which is a ball polishing pumping mechanism installed in the center of the island, and then the pachinko machine is again transported through the replenishment rod on the top of the island. Built-in ball automatic reduction system.

  In such a pachinko island stand, in order to efficiently circulate the ball, it is necessary to smoothly flow the ball from the recovery tank to the reduction machine at the center of the island stand through the storage tank. The used balls discharged from the pachinko machine once fall into the out box, and then count down there, then drop through the flexible pipe attached to the ball outlet of the out box to the vicinity of the recovery basket. In most cases, it is collected in a collection tank, but the above-mentioned storage tank and reduction machine are installed in the center of the island, and the storage balls from the storage tank are aligned and introduced into the reduction machine. Because the ball introduction rod for this purpose is installed between the storage tank and the reducer, the recovery rod can be extended only to the side of the storage tank (in the direction of the end of the island) because of their obstruction Therefore, the discharge balls of the pachinko machine installed in the upper part of the storage tank are led out directly from the out BOX to the storage tank, while the discharge balls of the pachinko machine installed in the upper part of the ball introduction basket are That Installed in an appropriate location in the Isle of Eternal Youth create a discharge ball collecting gutter use, it had to be led to the storage tank via the discharge ball collecting gutter from the out BOX. Such a means is selected because the ball discharged from the pachinko machine installed in the upper part of the ball introduction basket is clogged because the flexible pipe tilts horizontally when it flows down to the storage tank with the flexible pipe described above. It is easy to wake up, and when the flexible pipe is guided vertically to the vicinity of the ball introduction cage and the discharged ball is allowed to flow down directly to the ball introduction cage, the pachinko balls that have been aligned are disturbed, and the pachinko balls are normally delivered to the reduction machine. This is due to the fact that the discharged balls cannot be processed well anyway.

  Also, when pachinko balls are returned from the ball return device to the island stand, the drop between the ball return device and the collection basket in the island stand is large. In order to damage the recovery basket due to the impact caused by the fall of the return ball, a dedicated return ball recovery basket is also installed between the ball return device and the recovery basket at the appropriate location on the island. Then, the head was adjusted to prevent damage to the recovery basket.

  Since the above-mentioned return ball collection basket is assembled on site by the worker, the accuracy is left to the skill level of the worker. However, the slope of the recovery bowl is determined in advance so that the pachinko balls roll smoothly. For example, if an unfamiliar worker assembles the collection bowl and deviates from this slope, the pachinko balls will not be collected smoothly. , There is a risk of hindering the automatic ball reduction system described above.

The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances described above, and the object of the present invention is to easily install a return ball collection basket provided between the pachinko machine or the ball return device and the collection basket inside the pachinko island platform. It is to provide a unit recovery basket that can be used.
