Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine, and more particularly to a blade mechanism used for an accessory.

  As is well known, in pachinko games, when a pachinko ball wins in various winning holes provided in the game area of the gaming board surface provided in the gaming machine, a predetermined number of prize balls set in the winning hole. Is to be paid out.

  One type of pachinko gaming machine that has been known so far is a second type of pachinko gaming machine called an airplane type equipped with an openable and closable blade.

  In the second type of pachinko gaming machine, when a pachinko ball wins in the start winning opening, a pair of blade members provided in a central actor provided in the game area perform a predetermined number of opening and closing operations, When a pachinko ball wins a special winning opening provided, the blade member is repeatedly opened and closed up to a preset maximum number of times (for example, Patent Document 1). In addition, there is also a first-class pachinko machine as a pachinko machine, and in this pachinko machine, the display on the variable display section attached to the central actor starts to change when the pachinko ball wins the start winning opening. If the result at the time of variable stop matches the preset result, it becomes a special gaming state corresponding to the big hit state, and the big winning opening is opened or closed until a predetermined number of times or a predetermined number of pachinko ball winnings, whichever comes first To receive the prize ball. (For example, patent document 2).

By the way, in a pachinko gaming machine as disclosed in Patent Document 1, as a configuration of a blade member provided in a central accessory, a solenoid or the like is supported with a cantilever shape and has one end as a base end. An electric accessory that swings when driven is used, and normally swings from a state where the inlet of the pachinko ball is closed to a state where the inlet can be opened.

  By the way, the blade member in which the electric accessory or the like is used has an opening width, that is, a width of a region in which the pachinko ball can enter, being defined by the installation location. For example, in the case of a blade member provided on both shoulders and both sides of a central actor where an opportunity to obtain a lot of prize balls can be expected, and even for a big prize opening, the introduction width is 55 mm. ing. Since this introduction width is a dimension that allows a pachinko ball to enter purely, for example, when an obstacle nail or a cover member is arranged above or in the vicinity of the introduction opening or winning opening, exclude the area occupied by these. It is necessary to set an introduction width of 55 mm.

  For this reason, when the case where the obstacle nail or the covering member exists above or near is targeted, the length of the blade member provided in the central accessory includes the length of the covering member. The length is 55 mm and the turning radius is also increased.

  However, in recent years, the size of the display section tends to increase in accordance with the variety of display contents. For this reason, it is provided in the pachinko ball introduction port and game board provided in the central actor located near the display section. The space between the rail member and the gate member disposed in the vicinity of the display portion tends to decrease.

  From such a current situation, for example, if the predetermined introduction width is set by securing the swing amount of the cantilevered blade member provided at the introduction port of the central accessory, it is arranged in the vicinity of the blade member. It may be difficult to secure a space for installing the introduction nail and the obstacle nail.

  Therefore, the swing range of the blade must be positioned to match the introduction width of the pachinko ball at the expense of the number of introduction nails and obstacle nails. As a result, the uniqueness of the game created by the presence of the introduction nails and obstacle nails The nature will be impaired.

  The object of the present invention is to provide a fun game without sacrificing the number of nails to be provided in the peripheral part of the blade in view of the problem in the case where a blade mechanism is provided in the introduction port of the conventional pachinko gaming machine and the pachinko ball. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko gaming machine equipped with a blade mechanism that can ensure a specified introduction width without impairing the performance.

  The present invention has a configuration in which the blade member installed in the introduction port of the pachinko ball is configured to slide in a direction crossing the introduction port, and the winning state of the pachinko ball to the introduction port can be controlled according to the sliding state. It is characterized by doing so.

The configuration is characterized in that the winning state of the pachinko ball to the introduction port is controlled according to the sliding position.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the first aspect, the blade member has a length that bisects in the end direction of the introduction port, and can be opposed to and separated from each other. It consists of two blade members, and the first and second blade members are characterized in that the winning state of the pachinko balls to the introduction port can be controlled according to the contact / separation interval.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the second aspect, at least one of the first and second blade members is slidable in a direction crossing the inlet, It is characterized in that the winning state of the pachinko ball and the state of preventing the winning can be set respectively.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the second or third aspect, the first and second blade members are slidably provided by interlocking or individual driving.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the blade member is slidable in the direction crossing the introduction port, there is no member projecting outside the introduction port, so that a nail or a covering member around the introduction port is provided. It is possible to prevent the installation space from being reduced.

  According to the second and third aspects of the invention, the winning state of the pachinko ball can be set only by setting the contact / separation interval between the first and second blade members that can contact and separate from each other. In addition to securing the installation space for the nail and the cover member around the introduction port, the winning state can be controlled and the game can be interesting even if the blade member does not receive it.

  According to the invention described in claim 4, since the first and second blade members are provided so as to be interlocked or individually driven, it is possible to win a pachinko ball by changing the movement of the blade member at the inlet. It becomes possible to change the way.

  The display section 6a provided in the game area 6 is equipped on a central accessory (shown by a two-dot chain line for convenience) 101 attached to the game board 3, and the central accessory 101 has one of its side surfaces. In the vicinity of a pachinko ball introduction port (not shown) provided in the wing, a blade member capable of controlling the winning state of the pachinko sphere by changing the opening is provided.

  As the blade member in the present embodiment, first and second blade members 102, 102 'provided as a pair so as to be slidable in a direction crossing the introduction port are used.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the blade member. In the drawing, the first and second blade members 102 and 102 ′ bisect the introduction port by the width (indicated by reference numeral L in FIG. 2). The pair is provided in a pair, and by sliding in a direction crossing the introduction port, it can be displaced to a position where they approach each other and abut and a position where the introduction port is opened apart from each other.

  When they are in contact with each other, it is a normal state, which corresponds to a state in which the pachinko ball is prevented from winning the entrance, and when separated from each other, the entrance is opened to allow a prize between the pachinko and the pachinko. The sliding stroke is set so as to correspond to the state.

  The first and second blade members 102 and 102 'can be selected to be linked or individually driven.

  Now, the case where the blades are individually driven will be described. The elastic members 103, 103 such as springs located between the blade members 102, 102 ′ and the non-moving portions are arranged at the opposite ends of the blade members 102, 102 ′. One end of 'is locked, and movement behavior in a direction away from each other is given by the urging of the elastic member 103.

  On the other hand, on the blade members 102 and 102 ′, plungers of solenoids 104 and 104 ′, which are driving members for sliding, are abutted against end portions opposite to the opposite ends, and the solenoids 104 and 140 ′. Is normally set as an initial position in which the plunger is pushed out to bring the blade members 102 and 102 'into contact with each other. For this reason, when the solenoids 104 and 104 ′ are excited, the blade members 102 and 102 ′ slide in directions away from each other by the urging of the elastic members 103 and 103 ′.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration in which the blade members 102 and 102 ′ are interlocked with each other is provided with a driving source A such as a stepping motor at a position different from the blade member, and the opposite end portions of the blade members 102 and 102 ′. A rack B is attached to the opposite end, and a pulley C provided on the output shaft of the drive source A and a pinion D provided so as to mesh with each rack are driven via a belt E. There is. In either case, a guide member is provided for enabling sliding of the blade members 102, 102 '.

  The first and second blade members 102 and 102 ′ are set at predetermined positions at which the pachinko balls are prevented from winning the inlet as shown by the solid line in FIG. 2 due to the initial position of the drive source. With the start of driving, sliding away from each other in a direction crossing the introduction port, the winning state of the pachinko balls to the introduction port is set apart from each other as indicated by a two-dot chain line. In this way, the winning state of the pachinko ball according to the contact / separation interval between the first and second blade members 102, 102 'can be controlled.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the sliding position of the blade members 102, 102 ′ is two modes of the winning state of the pachinko ball to the inlet and the state of preventing the winning, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to step up the opening degree of the game and change the difficulty level of the winning state to emphasize the expected degree of winning.

  For example, when the first and second blade members 102 and 102 ′ are displaced from the predetermined positions, not only when the pachinko ball is won at the start winning opening 6b, but also at the normal winning opening as well as the start winning opening. When the number of winnings reaches the specified number, the player is selected when the conditions that the player is likely to get bored are met when the winning rate at the starting prize opening continues to be low. .

  Since the present embodiment is configured as described above, the first and second blade members 102 and 102 ′ are in the initial state when the drive member for the first and second blade members 102 and 102 ′ or one of the drive members is in the initial state. When it is in the position, it is maintained in a state that prevents the pachinko ball from winning the entrance to the pachinko ball.

  On the other hand, when the driving member for the first and second blade members 102 and 102 'or one of the driving members is driven from the initial position, the first and second blade members 102 and 102' are separated from each other and introduced. It is possible to make it possible to win a pachinko ball in the mouth.

  The first and second blade members 102 and 103 divide the introduction port in the width direction, and in particular, there is no member projecting toward the outside of the introduction port. Therefore, as shown in FIG. There is no range corresponding to the turning radius of a conventional blade member (indicated by reference numeral 102 'for convenience) provided in a cantilever shape and swinging. Therefore, there is nothing obstructive outside the introduction port, and there is no range corresponding to the turning radius indicated by reference symbol P ′ in FIG. 2B (indicated by reference symbol P in FIG. 2A). A sufficient installation space for the nails K and the covering member in this range can be secured. In addition, the sliding width of the pachinko balls at the introduction port (range indicated by the symbol S in FIG. 2) can be ensured by sliding and contacting each other. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the interest of the game from being impaired by the presence of the covering member, the guide nail, and the obstacle nail.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which a pair of blade members is provided is shown. However, in the present invention, it is also possible to use a single blade member that can slide between a position for closing the inlet and a position for opening the inlet. It is. In this case, for example, the pachinko sphere moves toward the lower side of the flow direction and opens from the upper side of the introduction port, or the type that opens from the lower side of the introduction port by culling toward the upper side, etc. When the introduction port is opened from the lower side, it is possible to make it possible to give an unexpectedness such as winning a prize when the pachinko ball receives an impression that it has passed through the introduction port. .

  In the above embodiment, the blade member is provided in the central role, that is, the blade member provided in the flow-down direction of the pachinko ball, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the starting prize is given. It is also possible to target double-opening type blade members provided along the horizontal direction, such as a mouth and a prize winning opening. Further, in the first and second types of pachinko gaming machines, any of the blade members arranged along the flow-down direction of the pachinko balls can be targeted.
