Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine such as a pachinko game machine, and to a game ball launch control technique.

  Various types of pachinko machines are popular as bullet ball machines. Some conventional pachinko machines have random lottery values acquired as a result of a game ball falling into a starting port formed on the game board. The acquired lottery value is determined whether or not the winning lottery value is obtained, and a variable display of a symbol called a special symbol is started. A special symbol stop display mode is determined based on the lottery result.

When the special symbol is stopped and displayed in a manner indicating winning after the fluctuation display for a predetermined time, the gaming state shifts to a special game as a so-called jackpot. A special game is composed of a plurality of unit games. The big prize opening formed on the game board is opened at the start of the unit game. The unit game ends when a predetermined period, for example, 30 seconds elapses from the start of the unit game, or when nine or more game balls are won in the big prize opening during the unit game. At this time, the grand prize opening is also temporarily closed. During a unit game, if the game ball passes through a specific area called a V zone provided in the special winning opening, the unit game is continued to the next unit game. At this time, the grand prize opening is opened again. The unit game can be continued up to a predetermined number of times, for example, 15 times. When the game balls fall into the big prize opening, more game balls than usual are paid out as prize balls.
In order to acquire a lot of prize balls, the player plays a game mainly for the purpose of opening the big prize opening, that is, shifting the gaming state to a special game (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The game ball is launched into the game area by being physically hit with a hammer provided in the launch mechanism of the ball game machine. The player adjusts the hitting strength against the game ball by changing the rotation angle of the rotary launch handle. In a ball game machine in which a game result is determined by the whereabouts of the game ball, it is important that the player's operation is accurately reflected in the launch control of the game ball (see, for example, Patent Documents 2, 3, and 4).

  However, it is not easy to make the relationship between the amount of operation with respect to the operation device such as the launch handle and the strength of the hit actually applied to the game ball constant. For example, due to individual differences between models, even if the operation amount is the same, variation occurs in the impact strength. In addition, even in the same ball game machine, the relationship between the operation amount and the hitting strength changes with time.

  The present invention has been made in view of the problems recognized as described above, and its main object is to provide a technique for stably controlling the launch of a game ball in a ball game machine.

One embodiment of the present invention is a game ball launcher.

In this specification, the “table” may indicate two or more types of data recorded in the storage area of the memory in a format in which the other data corresponding to one data can be specified, or a recording format thereof. .

  This device controls the hitting strength of the game ball in accordance with the player's operation amount. Then, the hitting strength against the game ball is measured, and the setting of the first conversion table is adjusted so that the difference between the measured value and the scheduled value becomes small. By such correction processing, it is possible to provide a ball game with a stable operational feeling.

Another aspect of the present invention is also a game ball launcher.
This device includes a handle operated by a player to adjust the hitting strength against a game ball, an operation amount detecting means for detecting an operation amount of the handle, and an electromagnetic solenoid to which a driving force is applied according to an applied voltage. A hitting means for hitting a game ball, a voltage control means for applying a voltage corresponding to the operation amount to the electromagnetic solenoid with reference to a first conversion table that defines the correspondence between the operation amount and the voltage, and a hit on the game ball Referring to a second conversion table that defines a correspondence relationship between intensity measurement means for detecting an intensity value indicating intensity, and an applied voltage to the electromagnetic solenoid and an intensity value indicating the intensity of impact by the impacting means, the first amount is calculated from the operation amount. Supplement that adjusts the correspondence relationship in the first conversion table so that the difference between the intensity value specified by the conversion table and the second conversion table and the detected intensity value becomes small. And means, the.

  According to such an aspect, by correcting the correspondence between the voltage applied to the electromagnetic solenoid and the operation amount, the relationship between the operation amount and the impact strength can be easily stabilized. By such correction processing, it is possible to provide a ball game with a stable operational feeling.

  The strength measuring means may detect the acceleration of the hit game ball as the strength value.

  According to such an aspect, the hitting strength of the game ball can be easily indexed from the acceleration of the game ball that is actually launched.

  It should be noted that any combination of the above-described constituent elements and a conversion of the expression of the present invention between a method, an apparatus, a system, a recording medium, a computer program, etc. are also effective as an aspect of the present invention.

  According to the present invention, there is an effect in stably controlling the launch of a game ball in a ball game machine.

The launch control board 47 controls the launch operation of the launch device 46. The power supply unit 48 supplies power to each part of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

FIG. 3 is a front view of the launching mechanism of the pachinko gaming machine.
In this launching mechanism, the game ball 154 is launched toward the game board 50 by being physically hit by the hammer 114. When the player rotates the firing handle 17, a voltage corresponding to the angle (hereinafter referred to as “handle angle”) is applied to the firing solenoid 112. The greater the handle angle, ie, the greater the player rotates the firing handle 17, the higher the voltage applied to firing solenoid 112. When the firing solenoid 112 is magnetized, the plunger 116 inserted in the firing solenoid 112 protrudes in the direction of the arrow 150. Plunger 116 is maintained by a spring (not shown) so as to be stabilized at the position shown in the figure, but when electromagnetic force is obtained from firing solenoid 112, it moves in the direction of arrow 150 against the restoring force of this spring. The higher the voltage applied to the firing solenoid 112, the greater the protrusion distance of the plunger 116.

  The hammer 114 is stabilized by its own weight at the position shown in FIG. When the plunger 116 protrudes, the hammer 114 rotates in the direction of the arrow 152 by the force received from the plunger 116. Hereinafter, the rotation angle of the hammer 114 is referred to as “hammer angle”.

  The voltage applied to firing solenoid 112 is temporarily interrupted after a predetermined period. At this time, the plunger 116 returns in the direction of the arrow 158 by the restoring force of the spring. The hammer 114 rotates in the direction of the arrow 156 and hits the game ball 154. Thus, the game ball 154 is launched to the game board 50. The greater the hammer angle, the greater the hit on the game ball 154. In summary, the handle angle determines the hitting strength with respect to the game ball 154 through the voltage applied to the firing solenoid 112, the protrusion amount of the plunger 116, and the hammer angle.

In the case of such a launch mechanism, the relationship between the handle angle and the hitting strength against the game ball needs to be constant. If the hitting strength for the same handle angle is not stable, the player's skill will not be accurately reflected in the game. However, in reality, the relationship between the handle angle and the hitting strength varies more or less for each pachinko gaming machine 10 from the factory shipment stage. In addition, even in the same pachinko gaming machine 10, this correspondence changes due to aging.
The game ball launching apparatus 140 shown in the present embodiment has a function for stabilizing the relationship between the handle angle and the hitting strength against the game ball.

FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of the game ball launcher in the present embodiment.
Each block shown here can be realized in hardware by an element such as a CPU of a computer or a mechanical device, and in software it is realized by a computer program or the like. Draw functional blocks. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that these functional blocks can be realized in various forms by a combination of hardware and software. The game ball launching device 140 in this embodiment is a device that is mainly realized by the launching device 46 and the launch control board 47 of FIG.

The game ball launching device 140 includes a hitting means 110, a launch control means 120, an intensity measurement means 130, and an operation amount detection means 132.
The hitting means 110 is means for hitting a game ball, and includes the firing solenoid 112 and the hammer 114 described above. The firing control means 120 controls the strength of hitting by the hitting means 110. The operation amount detection means 132 detects the handle angle as the operation amount of the firing handle 17. The strength measuring means 130 detects the hammer angle as a value indicating the hit strength given to the game ball.

The firing control unit 120 includes a voltage control unit 122, a planned intensity acquisition unit 124, a correction unit 126, and a setting data holding unit 128.
The setting data holding means 128 stores table data (hereinafter referred to as “conversion table”) that defines the voltage to be applied to the firing solenoid 112 and the planned hammer angle in accordance with the handle angle. The data structure of the conversion table will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The voltage control means 122 applies a voltage to the firing solenoid 112. The voltage control unit 122 determines a voltage value to be applied from the conversion table based on the handle angle detected by the operation amount detection unit 132. The planned strength acquisition unit 124 refers to the conversion table and specifies a planned hammer angle based on the handle angle (hereinafter referred to as “scheduled hammer angle”). The correction means 126 compares the actual hammer angle detected by the strength measurement means 130 with the scheduled hammer angle, and corrects the conversion table as necessary. Ideally, the expected hammer angle and the actual hammer angle should match. However, since these do not necessarily match, the correction means 126 appropriately changes the setting of the conversion table used by the voltage control means 122 to determine the voltage.

FIG. 5 is a data structure diagram of the conversion table.
In the conversion table, the handle angle and the scheduled hammer angle are associated with each other. When the handle angle is 0 (degrees), the planned hammer angle is also 0 (degrees), and when the handle angle is 100 (degrees), the planned hammer angle is 60 (degrees). The correspondence relationship between the handle angle and the planned hammer angle is a design condition for the game ball launching device 140, and the compensation means 126 executes a later-described compensation process in order to maintain an output corresponding to the design condition.

  In the conversion table, the handle angle is also associated with a voltage value. The voltage control means 122 applies a voltage corresponding to the handle angle to the firing solenoid 112. For example, when the handle angle is 0 (degrees), the voltage to be applied is 0 (V), and when it is 5 (degrees), it is 0.27 (V). When the handle angle is between 0 (degrees) and 5 (degrees), the voltage control means 122 obtains a voltage value to be applied by linear interpolation from between 0 (V) and 0.27 (V). As another example, when the handle angle is 0 (degrees) or more and less than 5 (degrees), the applied voltage is 0 (V), and when the handle angle is 5 (degrees) or more and less than 10 (degrees), the handle is 0.27 (V). The voltage to be applied may be set stepwise according to the angle.

  According to this conversion table, the expected hammer angle when the handle angle is 5 (degrees) is 3 (degrees), and therefore the voltage to be applied to the firing solenoid 112 is set to 0.27 (V). Has been. The voltage control unit 122 refers to the conversion table, specifies a voltage value for the detected handle angle, and applies a voltage to the firing solenoid 112. The planned strength acquisition unit 124 refers to the conversion table and acquires the planned hammer angle with respect to the detected handle angle. On the other hand, the strength measuring means 130 acquires the actual hammer angle.

The correcting means 126 determines whether or not the planned hammer angle and the actual hammer angle are deviated, and if so, changes the voltage setting value in the conversion table in order to reduce the deviation.
For example, when the handle angle is 50 (degrees), the expected hammer angle is 30 degrees, and the voltage applied to the firing solenoid 112 is 2.5 (V). However, it is assumed that the actual hammer angle is 28 (degrees), which is smaller than planned. In such a case, the correction means 126 changes the setting of the applied voltage for the handle angle of 50 (degrees) to 2.5 (V) or more. Thus, from the next time, the actual hammer angle when the handle angle is 50 (degrees) is adjusted to be 28 (degrees) or more, that is, close to 30 (degrees). On the other hand, when the actual hammer angle is 32 (degrees), which is larger than planned, the compensation means 126 changes the applied voltage for the handle angle of 50 (degrees) to 2.5 (V) or less.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a game ball launch control process by the game ball launcher.
First, when the player rotates the firing handle 17, the operation amount detection means 132 periodically detects the handle angle (S10). The voltage control means 122 specifies the voltage to be applied with reference to the conversion table (S12). The planned strength acquisition unit 124 identifies the planned hammer angle with reference to the conversion table (S14). The voltage control means 122 applies the specified voltage to the firing solenoid 112 for a predetermined time (S16). At this time, the strength measuring means 130 measures the hammer angle (S18). After a predetermined period, the applied voltage is cut off. The hammer 114 hits the game ball, and the game ball is launched to the game board 50 (S20).

  The correction means 126 calculates the difference between the actual hammer angle measured in S18 and the planned hammer angle as a difference angle, and determines whether the difference angle is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold T (S22). The threshold T is, for example, 5 (degrees). If the difference angle is smaller than the threshold value T (N in S22), it is determined that the actual hammer angle and the planned hammer angle are substantially the same, and the process is terminated. When the difference angle is larger than the threshold T (Y in S22), the correction means 126 determines which of the planned hammer angle and the actual hammer angle is larger (S24). If the actual hammer angle is larger than the planned hammer angle (Y in S24), the compensation means 126 decreases the set value of the voltage in the conversion table (S26). On the other hand, when it is smaller than the planned hammer angle (N in S24), the voltage of the conversion table is changed to a larger value (S28).

  As described above, according to the game ball launching apparatus 140 shown in the present embodiment, it is possible to stably maintain the correspondence between the handle angle and the hammer angle indicating the strength when the game ball is actually launched. Although the product life cycle of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is getting shorter, there are many cases where only the board surface is dealt with while the outer frame 11 remains diverted. For this reason, the same firing handle 17 is often used continuously for a few years or more. Since the game ball launching apparatus 140 shown in the present embodiment has an autonomous compensation function by the compensation means 126, it is possible to operate stably for a longer period of time. The prolongation of the product life of the game ball launcher 140 leads to cost reduction for the game shop and garbage reduction for the environment. Then, by suppressing variations in the operational feeling, it is possible to provide a stable ball game in which the skill of the player is correctly reflected.

Note that the function of the setting means described in the claims is realized by the voltage control means 122 in this embodiment. Further, the first and second conversion tables described in the claims correspond to the conversion tables in the present embodiment. The set value described in the claims corresponds to the voltage value applied to the firing solenoid 112 in this embodiment. Further, the handle angle corresponds to the operation amount described in the claims, and the hammer angle corresponds to the strength value.
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the functions to be fulfilled by the constituent elements described in the claims are realized by a single function block or a combination of the functional blocks shown in the present embodiment.

  In the above, this invention was demonstrated based on the Example. This embodiment is merely an example, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to the combination of each component and each processing process, and such modifications are also within the scope of the present invention. is there.

  In the present embodiment, the game ball is hit with a rotating hammer. However, the game ball may be hit with a piston type linearly moving hammer.

  In this embodiment, it has been described that the compensation process is executed by adjusting the voltage to be applied to the firing solenoid 112. In addition, for example, the length of energization time for the firing solenoid 112 and the current value may be adjusted. In any case, by controlling the transfer function for transmitting the operation by the player as the hitting strength with respect to the game ball, it is possible to perform a correction process equivalent to the game ball launching apparatus 140 shown in the present embodiment.

In this embodiment, the conversion table is described as being corrected based on the difference between the planned hammer angle and the actual hammer angle. As a modification, for example, the acceleration at the time of launching a game ball may be measured by an acceleration sensor, and the conversion table may be corrected based on the difference between the planned acceleration associated with the operation amount and the actual acceleration. Alternatively, correction may be made based on the speed of the game ball. According to such a correction method, the difference between the actual operation of the game ball and the planned operation can be corrected more accurately.
In any case, the correction process may be executed based on a value that directly or indirectly indicates the hitting strength against the game ball.
