Embodiment of Windmill FIG. 1 shows a game board provided with a windmill equipped with an impact detection sensor 8, and FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a windmill 1 for detecting a designated pachinko ball impact. The windmill 1 rotatably supports the windmill main body 3 made of synthetic resin or metal on the mounting board 2 made of synthetic resin or metal fixed to the game board A on the game board 1 with the support shaft 4 so as to be freely rotatable, and One or more through-holes 5 are provided around the support shaft 4 of the mounting base 2, and the display substrate 6 is transmitted through the support shaft 4 by a plurality of light-emitting diodes 7 on the front and an impact received by the windmill main body 3 on the back.

An impact detection sensor 8 mounted on the display substrate 6 held by the support shaft 4 is provided so as to detect, through the support shaft 4, an impact when a ball shot into the pachinko machine collides with a windmill blade. The shock detection sensor 8 detects, for example, by a piezoelectric ceramic method, an electric charge generated by bending of a piezoelectric element when a shock is applied. The magnitude of the charge varies depending on the magnitude of the impact. Thus, the impact when the pachinko ball hits the wind turbine blade is transmitted to the support shaft 4 and the display substrate 6 on the back of the mounting base 2 receives an impact. The impact is detected by the impact detection sensor 8 and detected. By inputting the electric signal to the control board placed in the pachinko machine panel, the light emitting diode 7 mounted on the display board 6 held on the windmill support shaft 4 is turned on or off, thereby improving the game performance.

Is provided. Reference numeral 18 denotes a cover for covering the tip of the support shaft.

When a pachinko ball falling on the game board surface hits the windmill main body 3, the windmill main body 3 rotates about the support shaft 4 and changes the motion of the pachinko ball. The impact of the pachinko ball hitting the windmill is transmitted to the display board 6 attached to the mount 2 of the windmill via the support shaft 4. Also,
An electric signal is generated from the shock detection sensor 8 by the shock transmitted to the shock detection sensor 8 provided on the display substrate 6. This electric signal is input to a control board in the game board by a connector 17 mounted on the display board 6.
The control board causes the light emitting diodes 7 to generate a lighting signal in a predetermined order on the display board 6 on the windmill. This lighting signal is transmitted to the connector 17 mounted on the display substrate 6.

FIG. 12 is a block diagram from the impact detection sensor on the windmill display board to the light emission of the light emitting diode. FIG. 13 is a block diagram of the operation means of the impact detection sensor on the windmill display board. FIG. 14 is a block diagram showing operations from an impact detection sensor on the windmill display board to voice production.

Referring to FIG. 12, a situation will be described in which the control board placed on the board is operated by an electric signal from the impact detection sensor 8 on the display board of the windmill 1. The impact of the ball hitting the windmill 1 is connected from the impact detection sensor 8 on the display board 6 attached to the mounting base 2 of the windmill 1 to the control unit connector 100 via the connector 17 and the connection harness.
The signal input from the control unit connector 100 is input to the amplifier 103 of the control unit. This amplification amplifier 103
Is input to the comparator 104. By adjusting the comparator 104, the magnitude of the impact detected by the impact detection sensor 8 can be compared and detected. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the lighting level of the light emitting diode by comparing the magnitude of the impact depending on how the pachinko ball hits the windmill. In addition, the input section of the amplification amplifier 103 includes:
Low frequency cut-off filter 101 and high frequency cut-off filter
There is an off-filter 102, and by setting the constant of this filter, only the necessary shock vibration can be input. Therefore, it is possible to perform processing such as preventing the light emitting diode from being erroneously turned on due to the impact of the pachinko ball hitting the nail near the impact detection windmill.

The signal output from the comparator 104 is a basic signal for blinking the light emitting diode. This signal sets the latch circuit 105 to drive the lighting frequency oscillation circuit 106. A signal oscillated by the driven oscillation circuit is input as a clock for the shift register circuit 107 as a light emitting diode lighting frequency.
By changing this frequency, the light emitting diode blinking speed can be changed. By inputting a clock to the shift register circuit 107, the light emitting diodes 7 can be sequentially turned on. One operation is performed by sequentially turning on four light emitting diodes for one rotation. Therefore, when two rotations or the like are required, the shift register circuit rotation setting counter 108 is counted up to “2”, and a series of operations is terminated by the up signal.

The driver circuit 109 is a circuit for amplifying the light emitting diode lighting signal from the shift register circuit 107 so that the light emitting diode can be turned on. The driver circuit 109 is connected to the windmill connector 17 via the output connector 110, and emits light from the windmill. The diode 7 is turned on or off. The control unit receives power from a power supply unit of the pachinko machine via a power supply connector 111, and as a power supply for elements on the control board and a power supply for lighting the light emitting diode 7 of the windmill by the DC stabilization circuit 112. Used. Also,
When all the light emitting diodes are turned on, 106 is used as a lighting reference time circuit, and a pulse signal output from the circuit is used.
The shift register circuit 107 is operated, and the driver circuit 109 is driven until the time set in the shift register rotation setting counter 108 to turn on the light emitting diode.

By repeating the above operation, the blinking state of the light emitting portion of the windmill is repeated by the pachinko ball hitting the windmill, or all the lights are turned on at once. In addition, instead of blinking or lighting the light emitting diode, or together with the blinking or lighting of the light emitting diode, the solenoid can be driven or a sound can be generated, so that the game characteristics can be extended.

When driving a driving means such as a solenoid for operating the wings of the tulip type prize winning device, as shown in FIG.
7 is an operation toggle circuit, and 108 is a number setting counter. The latch circuit 105 is set by the signal output from the comparator 104, and the signal generated by the solenoid drive time generation circuit 106 is input as the solenoid drive time signal as the clock of the operation toggle circuit 107. By changing the time signal, the solenoid drive time can be changed. By inputting a signal to the operation toggle circuit 107, the solenoid can be intermittently driven. For example, when the solenoid is driven twice, the count setting counter 108 is counted up to “2”, and a series of operations is terminated by the up signal. Further, an output signal from the operation toggle circuit 107 is input to the driver circuit 109, and a transistor in the driver circuit is driven to drive a solenoid (not shown) via the output connector 110. The circuit power supply and the solenoid drive power supply on the control unit are supplied with power from the power supply unit of the pachinko machine via the power supply connector 111, and the DC stabilization circuit 112 creates and supplies power.

When a sound is generated, as shown in FIG. 14, reference numeral 106 denotes a sound drive reference time circuit, and reference numeral 109 denotes a sound utterance circuit. Set the comparator 104 on the control unit,
The shift register circuit 107 is operated by the pulse signal generated by the sound drive reference time circuit 106, and the sound generation circuit 109 is driven until the time set in the shift register rotation setting counter 108 to connect the speaker connected via the connector 110. Drive.

When a sound is generated simultaneously with blinking the light emitting diode, it is possible to combine the control unit for the windmill and the control unit for generating the sound. However,
In this case, operations common to both can be omitted and shared. For example, in FIG. 12, if a driver circuit and a sound producing circuit are connected in parallel, a sound can be generated while the light emitting diode is lit.

Embodiment of Hitting Ball Guide Rail FIGS. 3 to 5 show a means for utilizing a method of detecting the impact of a hit pachinko ball hitting a hitting ball guide rail to enhance playability. An impact detection sensor 8 is mounted near the position where the shot ball of the hitting guide rail 20 provided on the front of the game board A hits, and the hitting guide rail 2
A light guide 22 such as an electroluminescence, a light emitting diode, and a light bulb is provided in a ball guide path 21 of No. 0, and the impact detection sensor 8 is associated with the light emitter 7. When the launched pachinko ball hits the vicinity of the rail on which the impact detection sensor 8 is mounted, the signal detected by the impact detection sensor 8 is used to detect the electroluminescence attached on the plywood on which the hitting guide rail 20 is mounted. It is assumed that the lights are simultaneously turned on for a certain time or the lights are emitted in order from the bottom. Electroluminescence is attached to the upper surface of the cell board on the game board (see FIG. 9). In this case, it is also possible to perform the same processing with a light emitting diode or a light bulb embedded in a veneer plate instead of the electroluminescence pasted on the veneer. When illuminating with a light-emitting diode or a light bulb, the illuminated portion of the cell plate is made to have a translucent property so that it can be illuminated with an appropriate color.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 20 denotes a ball-guiding guide rail of a game board, and an impact detection sensor 8 is installed on the outer side near the hitting ball hit from the firing rail of the ball-guiding guide rail or on the lower surface of a plywood board to form a control board. Connecting. On the ball guide path 21, one long electroluminescence 22 is stuck from the base end of the hit ball guide path to the opening on the plywood, an electrode is provided on the back of the plywood, and connected to the control board. The impact detection sensor 8 can be associated with one long electroluminescence 22 in the same manner as described above, and when the impact detection sensor 8 detects an impact, the electroluminescence 22 can be turned on or blinked to illuminate the hit ball. The electroluminescence 22 emits a desired color so that the ball guiding path 21 and the sphere passing therethrough can be colorfully illuminated.

In FIG. 4, a plurality of electroluminescent members 23 of different colors are adhered in a single row from the base end of the ball guide path to the opening on the plywood on the plywood board, and the ball guide path 21 is provided on the back of the plywood board. Then, connect the electrode to the control board. The impact detection sensor 8 can be associated with a plurality of electroluminescent elements 23 in the same manner as described above, and when the impact detection sensor 8 detects an impact, the plurality of electroluminescence elements 23 emit light in order from the firing side to illuminate a hit ball. . Multiple electroluminescence 23
Is set to a desired color, and the ball guiding path 21 and the ball passing therethrough can be more colorfully illuminated.

In FIG. 5, a plurality of light emitting diodes 24 of different colors are buried in the hitting guideway 21 from the base end of the hitting guideway to the opening of the hitting guideway, and electrodes are provided on the back of the plywood. Connect to board. The impact detection sensor 8 can be associated with a plurality of light emitting diodes 24 in the same manner as described above, and when the impact detection sensor 8 detects an impact, the plurality of light emitting diodes 24 can emit light sequentially from the firing side to illuminate a hit ball. Plural light emitting diodes 2
4 is set to a desired color so that the ball guiding path 21 and the ball passing therethrough can be more colorfully illuminated.

Description of the configuration of the control unit in the case of a hitting ball guide rail FIG. 15 is a block diagram showing light emission of a light emitting element upon detection of a rail mounted impact detection sensor, and FIG. 16 shows sound upon detection of a rail mounted impact detection sensor. FIG. 3 is a block diagram up to utterance.

Referring to FIG. 15, a situation in which the control board placed on the board is operated by an electric signal from the rail-mounted shock detection sensor 8 will be described. The impact of the ball hitting a predetermined position of the hitting guide rail 20 is input from the impact detection sensor 8 attached to the rail to the control connector 100 and input to the amplifier 103 of the control unit. The detection signal stabilized by the amplifier 103 is input to the comparator 104. By adjusting the comparator 104, the magnitude of the impact detected by the impact detection sensor 8 can be compared and detected. Therefore, the magnitude of the impact can be compared depending on how the pachinko ball hits the rail, and the emission level of electroluminescence can be adjusted. The input section of the amplifier 103 includes a low-frequency cut-off filter 101 and a high-frequency cut-off filter 102. By setting the constants of these filters, only the necessary shock vibration can be input. Therefore, it is possible to perform processing such as preventing the electroluminescence and the like from being erroneously lit by the impact of the pachinko ball hitting near the rail.

The signal output from the comparator 104 is a basic signal for blinking the electroluminescence. This signal sets the latch circuit 105 to drive the lighting frequency oscillation circuit 106. A signal oscillated by the driven oscillation circuit is input as a clock for the shift register circuit 107 as a sequential lighting frequency of electroluminescence. By changing this frequency, the electroluminescence lighting speed can be changed. If this signal is used, it can be set as a reference time for simultaneous lighting. Shift register circuit 1
By inputting a clock to 07, the electroluminescence can be sequentially turned on. For example, it is possible to perform an operation such that three electroluminescent elements are sequentially turned on once from the bottom to make one operation.

The driver circuit 109 switches the power supplied to the EL according to the EL lighting signal from the shift register circuit 107 with a transistor to turn on the EL, or sequentially supplies the EL power to the arranged EL by switching the transistor. It is used to light up sequentially. The control unit receives power from a power supply unit of a pachinko machine via a power connector 111 and uses the power as a power source for elements on a control board by a DC stabilization circuit 112. EL lighting power supply circuit 1
Reference numeral 13 denotes a circuit for inputting power from the power supply unit of the pachinko machine via the connector 111 and power from the power supply unit via the connector 111 to create a high-voltage power supply for EL lighting.

By repeating the above operation, the light emitting state of electroluminescence near the rail is repeated by the pachinko ball hitting the rail. Also, instead of flashing or lighting the electroluminescence,
The game characteristics can be extended by blinking or lighting the light emitting diode or generating a sound. The light emitters can be turned on all at once instead of being turned on sequentially.

When a sound is to be generated, as shown in FIG. 16, a latch circuit 105 is set by a signal output from a comparator 104 on the control unit, and a sound drive reference time circuit 10 is set.
The shift register circuit 107 is operated by the pulse signal generated by the shift register 6 and the shift register rotation setting counter 1
Until the time set to 08, the sound generation circuit 109 is driven to drive the speaker connected via the connector 110.

When a sound is generated simultaneously with the blinking of the EL, it is possible to combine the control unit for the hitting guide rail and the control unit for generating a sound. However,
In this case, operations common to both can be omitted and shared. For example, in FIG. 15, if a sound generation circuit is connected in parallel with the driver circuit, E
A sound can be generated during L lighting.

In the case of the light emitting diode 34, as shown in FIG. 11, the cell plate portion 37 'to be illuminated is made colorless, colored, transparent or translucent to have a light transmitting property so that it can be appropriately illuminated and the terminals are controlled. Connect to board. Thus, when an impact is detected by the impact detection sensor 8, for example, the plurality of light-emitting diodes 34 are simultaneously turned on, or are sequentially turned on from the opening side of the rail toward the hitting body 30. Also,
Also in this case, electroluminescence can be used instead of the light emitting diode. Similarly, in the case of the designated accessory 36, an impact detection sensor is provided in association with a position at which an impact can be detected, such as a plywood or the rear portion of the accessory.

FIG. 17 is a block diagram showing the steps of light emission of the light emitting element when a shock is detected by the board-mounted shock detection sensor, and FIG. 18 is a block diagram showing the operation of the control unit when the board-mounted shock detection sensor detects a shock. FIG. 3 is a block diagram up to voice utterance.

In FIG. 17, the impact of the ball hitting the accessory 36 or the designated nail 35 on the board is input to the control unit connector 100 from the impact detection sensor 8 attached near the accessory or nail, and Is input to the amplification amplifier 103 of FIG. The detection signal stabilized by the amplifier 103 is input to the comparator 104. By adjusting the comparator 104, the magnitude of the impact detected by the impact detection sensor 8 can be compared and detected. Therefore, the magnitude of the impact can be compared depending on how the pachinko ball hits the accessory or the nail, and the light emission level of the electroluminescence can be adjusted. Also,
The low frequency cut-off filter 101 and the high frequency cut-off filter 102 are provided at the input of the amplifier 103.
By setting the constant of this filter, only the necessary shock vibration can be input. Therefore, it is possible to perform processing such as preventing the light emitting diode from being erroneously turned on due to the impact of the pachinko ball hitting the nail or the like to be detected.

The signal output from the comparator 104 is a basic signal for blinking the electroluminescence. This signal sets the latch circuit 105 to drive the lighting frequency oscillation circuit 106. A signal oscillated by the driven oscillation circuit is input as a clock for the shift register circuit 107 as a sequential lighting frequency of electroluminescence. By changing this frequency, the electroluminescence lighting speed can be changed. If this signal is used, it can be set as a reference time for simultaneous lighting. Shift register circuit 1
By inputting a clock to 07, the electroluminescence can be sequentially turned on. For example, it is possible to stick four electroluminescences on a board and perform one operation by lighting one time.

The driver circuit 109 switches the power supplied to the EL according to the EL lighting signal from the shift register circuit 107 with a transistor so as to turn on, or switches the arranged EL with the transistor to sequentially supply the EL power. To turn on sequentially. The control unit receives power from a power supply unit of a pachinko machine via a power connector 111 and uses the power as a power source for elements on a control board by a DC stabilization circuit 112. EL lighting power supply circuit 113
Is a circuit for inputting power from the power supply unit of the pachinko machine via the connector 111 and power from the power supply unit via the connector 111 to create a high-voltage power supply for EL lighting.

By repeating the above operation, the light emission state of the electroluminescence on the board surface is repeated by the impact of the pachinko ball hitting the accessory or nail. In addition, instead of turning on the electroluminescence, it is possible to turn on the light emitting diode or generate a sound to extend the game characteristics. Instead of sequential lighting, it is also possible to perform simultaneous lighting for a certain time.

When a sound is generated, as shown in FIG. 18, a latch circuit 105 is set by a signal output from a comparator 104 on a control unit, and a sound drive reference time circuit 10 is set.
The shift register circuit 107 is operated by the pulse signal generated by the shift register 6 and the shift register rotation setting counter 1
Until the time set to 08, the sound generation circuit 109 is driven to drive the speaker connected via the connector 110.

When a sound is generated at the same time as the EL is turned on and off, it is possible to combine a control unit for mounting the panel surface and a control unit for generating a sound. However, in this case, the operations common to both are omitted.
It becomes possible to share. For example, in FIG. 18, if a sound generation circuit is connected in parallel with the driver circuit, a sound can be generated during EL lighting.

Although the above embodiment has been described, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and various embodiments can be carried out without departing from the gist of the present invention.
