Abstract
A collecting chute includes a plurality of chute units having a supply port, a discharge port, and an inner circumferential surface. The chute units are arrayed along a circular virtual line in planar view and are also arrayed securing a space among the chute units at the central portion of the circular virtual line. Each of the chute units has an outer slope that is an inner circumferential surface along the circular virtual line and an inner slope that is the inner circumferential surface located on the back side of an outer circumferential surface facing the other chute units, and the tilt angle of the inner slope is greater than the tilt angle of the outer slope.
