Description

    The present invention relates to a pachinko ball transport device for island facilities, and more particularly to a pachinko ball transport unit. It is installed on the island facilities of pachinko machines in pachinko amusement parks and used to lift polished pachinko balls to a ball tank.

    Conventionally, this type of pachinko ball transport device for island facilities transports pachinko balls discharged from a pachinko machine while polishing them, and lifts them to a ball tank via a pachinko ball lift unit. An anti-back lever is installed in the pachinko ball feeding unit, and the anti-back lever is swung to allow the pachinko ball to flow in the pachinko ball passage and to prevent backflow.

    However, in such a conventional pachinko ball transport device for island facilities, the anti-back lever is configured separately from the pachinko ball lifting unit, and is located on the entrance side of the pachinko ball passage in the pachinko ball lifting unit. Therefore, the pachinko ball lifting unit provided with the anti-back lever has to be large as a whole, and for this reason, a place where installation space is difficult to take, for example, a pachinko machine whose frame is narrow is narrow. It had the inconvenience that it was difficult to install on the back side.

    An object of the present invention is to eliminate these disadvantages.

In order to achieve the above object, in the pachinko ball polishing apparatus for island facilities according to the present invention, a conveyor belt is wound around at least a pair of pulleys in a horizontal direction , a substantially horizontal direction, or a direction inclined downward toward the conveyance direction. a transport unit has been installed on the upstream side of the transport unit, and the pachinko ball inlet unit takes in integer by column pachinko balls to the transport unit, disposed downstream side of the transport unit is transported from the transport unit constructed a pachinko ball from the pachinko ball pumped section unit that pumped upward, the polishing while island equipment for pachinko ball transfer device for feeding lifting conveys the pachinko ball discharged from the pachinko machine, the pachinko ball fried feeding portion unit, provided with a curved portion to induce pachinko ball toward the horizontal direction, from a direction inclined downward toward the substantially horizontal direction or conveying direction upward Pati Comprising a working space which is open to the through passage and having a co-ball passage to the passage, so that the anti-back lever in the working space is projected to be swingable disposed about the pivot axis the pachinko ball passage side The pachinko ball is allowed to flow when it is pushed into the working space against the bias by the conveying force of the pachinko ball and is allowed to flow from the inner peripheral surface of the pachinko ball passage. when projecting is to prevent back flow of the pachinko ball.

    In this case, the pachinko ball taking-in port unit has at least one or more rows of pachinko ball passages for taking in, and is provided with a rectifying stop member for taking the pachinko balls aligned in a row in each passage, and is discharged from the pachinko machine. The pachinko balls can be taken in correspondingly to the conveying belt of the conveying portion and the polishing passage groove of the polishing passage member.

In addition, the anti-back lever has a protruding portion that protrudes into the pachinko ball passage and can prevent the back flow of the pachinko ball, and the swing shaft is connected to the protruding portion of the anti-back lever with respect to the protruding portion. It can be located on the inlet side of the.

    In this case, the anti-back lever has a protrusion at a position separated from the swing shaft, and the upper surface of the protrusion is urged by the urging means and the lower surface of the protrusion collides with the working space. An operation regulating surface can also be provided.

    Further, the pachinko ball passage and the working space can be formed by providing a pair of passage constituting members formed with mutually symmetrical passage grooves and working space grooves, and by superimposing them.

    In this case, a pair of passage-constituting members formed with mutually symmetrical passage grooves and working space grooves can be integrally formed in a back-to-back state.

Since the pachinko ball transport device for island equipment according to the present invention is configured as described above, that is, the transport belt is wound around at least a pair of pulleys in a horizontal direction , a substantially horizontal direction, or a direction inclined downward toward the transport direction. a conveying unit that is multiplied, it is disposed upstream of the transport unit, and the pachinko ball inlet unit for taking by Alignment pachinko balls conveyance portion is disposed on the downstream side of the transport unit, from the transport unit the conveyed pachinko balls consists pachinko ball pumped section unit for feeding lifting upward, the island facilities for pachinko ball transfer device for feeding fried and conveyed while polishing the pachinko ball discharged from the pachinko machine, the pachinko Tamaagaoku part unit, having a curved portion that induces pachinko ball toward the horizontal direction, from a direction inclined downward toward the substantially horizontal direction or conveying direction upward snap The working space which is open to the through passage and having a ball passage provided in the passage, as anti-back lever projects is swingably disposed about the pivot axis the pachinko ball passage side in the working space When urged by the urging means and pushed into the working space against the urging force by the conveying force of the pachinko ball, the pachinko ball is allowed to flow and protrudes from the inner peripheral surface of the pachinko ball passage. In some cases, the anti-back lever is configured integrally with the pachinko ball lifting section unit and is installed in the pachinko ball lifting section unit so that the back flow of the pachinko ball is prevented. The apparatus can be made compact as a whole pachinko ball lifting unit equipped with

    Therefore, if this pachinko ball transport device for island facilities is used, it is easy to install in places where the installation space is difficult, for example, behind the pachinko machine where the inside of the frame is narrow, so that the island of the pachinko machine can be made compact. It can be installed.

    In this case, the pachinko ball intake port unit has at least one or more rows of pachinko ball passages for intake, and an alignment member for aligning and taking pachinko balls in a row is installed in each passage, and is discharged from the pachinko machine. If pachinko balls can be taken in corresponding to the conveying belt of the conveying section and the polishing passage groove of the polishing passage member, the pachinko balls can be taken in easily.

In addition, the anti-back lever has a protruding portion that protrudes into the pachinko ball passage and can prevent the back flow of the pachinko ball, and the swing shaft is located in the pachinko ball passage with respect to the protruding portion of the anti-back lever. If it is located on the entrance side, the anti-back lever can be disposed in the vicinity of the entrance, so that the pachinko ball feeding unit can be formed more compactly.

    In this case, the anti-back lever has a protrusion at a position separated from the swing shaft, and the upper surface of the protrusion is urged by the urging means and the lower surface of the protrusion collides with the working space. If an operation restricting surface is provided, the anti-back lever can be prevented from protruding more than necessary.

    The pachinko ball passage and the working space are formed by providing a pair of passage constituting members formed with symmetrical passage grooves and working space grooves, and forming the pachinko ball passage and the working space by overlapping them. Can be easily formed.

    In this case, if a pair of passage-constituting members formed with mutually symmetrical passage grooves and working space grooves are integrally formed in a back-to-back state, the number of parts is reduced and it is easy to form.
