Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine such as a pachinko machine, and more specifically, the game ball can be switched between a guidance state in which a game ball can be guided from a predetermined outlet to a predetermined position on the downstream side thereof and a non-guided state in which guidance cannot be performed. The present invention relates to a ball game machine equipped with a simple guide member.

  In many ball game machines represented by pachinko machines, a center case is arranged in the approximate center of the game area, and a liquid crystal display for production is mounted on the center case. By the way, the liquid crystal display used in this type of ball game machine has been steadily increasing in screen size. However, since a game nail or the like cannot be arranged on the front side of the liquid crystal display, the liquid crystal display can be used even in the game area. It is difficult to use the front range as a movable area of the game ball. In other words, in a ball game machine such as a pachinko machine, as the screen of the liquid crystal display becomes larger, the ratio of the movable area of the game ball to the game area gradually decreases, and the movement of the game ball is unified, which is unexpected. The reality is that it is poor in sex.

  Therefore, in order to diversify the movement of the game ball even in such a limited movable region, for example, a stage is provided on the lower side of the center case, and the game ball rolls in the left-right direction on this stage. A ball ball game machine configured to be guided to an electric tulip or the like disposed below the center case has become mainstream.

Also, some of these types of ball game machines not only allow the game ball to roll freely on the stage, but also use a magnet or the like to diversify the movement of the game ball. . For example, in the pachinko machine described in Patent Document 1, a protrusion is disposed on the front side of the vertical wall in a slanted manner from one side in the left-right direction to the other side, and the back side of the vertical wall. The game ball is guided along the vertical wall by the lateral inertial force acting on the game ball, the backward attracting force by the magnet, and the upward support force by the protrusion, The game ball is configured to fall to the front side of the vertical wall when the magnet is separated to the rear of the vertical wall and the backward attractive force stops.

A guide member 142 disposed on the front side of the mounting portion 93 is integrally connected, and a decoration representing, for example, an automobile main body (portion excluding the cabin) is provided on the upper end side thereof.

  The left and right side plates 166 protrude below the lower edge portion 164a of the front plate 164, and a fixing plate 167 is provided on the lower side thereof. Each fixed plate 167 has a vertically long shape parallel to the rear wall 93a of the rendering means mounting portion 93, and connecting shafts 168 are arranged at a plurality of vertical locations, for example, two locations. Note that a pair of left and right guide holes 169 are provided in the vertical direction on the rear wall 93a of the effect means mounting part 93, and the connecting shaft 168 passes through the guide hole 169 in the front-rear direction and the first movable part on the rear side. 161 and the front guide member 142 are connected. That is, the first movable portion 161 and the guide member 142 are mounted on the rendering means mounting portion 93 in a vertically movable state by sandwiching the rear wall 93a of the rendering means mounting portion 93 back and forth through the guide hole 169. Has been.

  The first movable portion 161 is supported from the lower side by the cam roller 151 of the cam 145, and is moved up and down as the cam roller 151 is moved by the rotation of the cam 145. The lower edge portion 164a of the front plate 164 with which the cam roller 151 abuts is provided with, for example, an upward notch 170 at one end in the left-right direction. When the cam roller 151 enters the notch 170, the first movable portion The part 161 descends at a stretch. A holding guide plate 161 a for holding and guiding the second movable portion 162 is detachably attached to the rear side of the first movable portion 161.

  The second movable portion 162 is integrally provided with a front plate 171 parallel to the front plate 164 of the first movable portion 161 and a peripheral wall plate 172 extending rearward from the peripheral edge of the front plate 171. A notch shape formed in the upper surface plate 165 on the first movable portion 161 side when accommodated in the rear side of the portion 161 so as to be relatively movable in the vertical direction and moved upward relative to the first movable portion 161. The fitting part 173 is fitted from below, and for example, the upper end side with a decoration representing the cabin of an automobile projects upward (FIG. 17).

  The front plate 171 of the second movable portion 162 is provided with a pair of left and right guide holes 174 in the vertical direction. The guide holes 174 protrude from the holding guide plate 161a on the first movable portion 161 side. The connected connecting shaft 175 penetrates from the front side, and a holding plate 176 disposed along the back side of the front plate 171 is fixed to the rear end side of the connecting shaft 175. That is, the second movable portion 162 is in a state in which the front plate 171 can be relatively moved in the vertical direction by being sandwiched between the holding guide plate 161a and the holding plate 176 on the first movable portion 161 side through the guide hole 174. It is mounted on the first movable part 161 side.

  As shown in FIGS. 4, 12, 14, and the like, the interlocking unit 163 includes a pinion gear 177 provided on the first movable portion 161 side, a first rack gear 178 provided on the rendering means mounting portion 93 side, 2 and a second rack gear 179 provided on the movable portion 162 side. The pinion gear 177 is mounted on the back side of the left and right fixed plates 167 on the first movable portion 161 side, for example, so as to be rotatable around the rotation shaft 177a in the front-rear direction.

  The second rack gear 179 is provided outward along the left and right edges of the second movable portion 162, and the left and right pinion gears 177 are meshed from the outside. The first rack gear 178 is arranged in the vertical direction on the back side of the rear wall 93a of the rendering means mounting portion 93 and on the opposite side of the second rack gear 179 with respect to the pinion gear 177, and the pinion gear 177 is engaged from the inside. As a result, when the first movable portion 161 is moved up and down by driving the guide member driving means 143, the pinion gear 177 on the first movable portion 161 side is rotated by relative movement with respect to the first rack gear 178, and the pinion gear 177 is further rotated by the rotation of the pinion gear 177. 2 The second rack gear 179 on the movable portion 162 side moves up and down.

  Thus, the interlocking means 163 causes the second movable portion 162 to move up and down as the first movable portion 161 moves up and down, and the lift distance of the second movable portion 162 is twice that of the first movable portion 161. Therefore, for example, when the first movable portion 161 is raised to its highest position, the second movable portion 162 projects its upper end side to the upper side of the first movable portion 161 to show a normal automobile shape (FIGS. 4 and 4). 17), for example, when the first movable part 161 is lowered to the lowest position, the second movable part 162 is retracted into the first movable part 161, and the second movable part 162 changes to, for example, the shape of an automobile in which the cabin is crushed. FIG. 18 etc.).

  As shown in FIGS. 8, 12, 15, etc., the guide member 142 includes a magnet holding plate 181 disposed on the front side of the rear wall 93 a on the rendering means mounting portion 93 side along the rear edge side of the stage plate 121, The magnet holding plate 181 includes a connecting support portion 182 extending downward from both left and right ends, and a magnet 141 attached to the magnet holding plate 181, for example, a connecting shaft protruding rearward from the connecting support portion 182. 168 is integrally connected to the first movable portion 161 of the movable means 126, and is moved up and down together with the movable means 126 by driving of the guide member driving means 143.

  The magnet holding plate 181 is arranged substantially vertically along the back side of the stage 123, and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in front view that is long in the left-right direction. For example, the indentation provided in the vertical wall surface 181a on the front side A magnet 141 is mounted in a magnet mounting portion 183. The magnet 141 is in the shape of an elongated bar, and is fitted into the magnet mounting portion 183 so that the front surface side (hereinafter referred to as magnet surface 141a) is substantially flush with the vertical wall surface 181a, and the outlet 55b of the first guide passage 55 is provided. The end portion (right end portion) on the special guide table 121a side is arranged in a gentle slope that is lower than the end portion (left end portion) on the side. When the guide member 142 is lowered to the lowest position, the substantially entire magnet surface 141a is retracted to the lower side of the stage plate 121 (non-guided state, FIG. 18), and when the guide member 142 is raised to the highest position, the magnet surface is The substantially whole 141a is exposed above the stage plate 121, one end side (left end side) of the magnet surface 141a is the rear side of the outlet 55b of the first guide passage 55, and the other end side (right end side) is specially guided. They are respectively arranged on the rear side of the table 121a and are connected to each other by the magnet surface 141a (guided state, FIG. 17).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the magnet 141 has magnetic poles arranged such that the upper edge side with respect to the longitudinal direction of the magnet surface 141a is an N pole (or S pole) and the lower edge side is an S pole (or N pole). Yes. As a result, the game ball attracted to the magnet surface 141a is guided to the magnet 141 on the center line CL in the width direction (vertical direction) along the longitudinal direction of the magnet surface 141a. There is a nature. Moreover, since the magnet 141 is arranged in an inclined shape whose one end side is lower than the other end side, the game ball attracted to the magnet surface 141a is guided in the inclination direction along the center line CL.

  Therefore, when the guide member 142 is in the guide state, the game ball guided to the outlet 55b by the first guide passage 55 is attracted to one end side of the magnet surface 141a and along the center line CL of the magnet surface 141a. It is guided to the special guide table 121a on the other end side. When the guide member 142 is in the non-guide state, the magnet surface 141a is retracted to the lower side of the stage plate 121, so that the game ball that has flowed out from the outlet 55b is not guided to the special guide table 121a. It is discharged onto 121b.

  As shown in FIGS. 13 and 16 to 18, the attracting means 125 includes an attracting member 192 having a magnet 191, and this attracting member 192, by using a game ball on the special guide table 121 a as a magnetic force upstream of the special region 122 a. And attraction member driving means 193 for switching between an attracting state attracting to a special guide position A corresponding to the side and a non-attracting state not attracting. The attracting member 192 is disposed below the special guide table 121a corresponding to the special guide position A, and can be moved up and down by driving the attracting member driving means 193. The magnet holding case 194 and the magnet holding case 194 are provided. The elevating guide part 195 integrally formed on the lower side and the magnet 191 attached to the magnet holding case 194 are provided. The special guidance position A is a position (FIG. 16) on the special guidance table 121a and corresponding to the upstream side of the special area 122a.

  The magnet holding case 194 has a rectangular box shape that is open on the upper surface side and that is long in the direction orthogonal to the inclination direction of the special guide table 121a (here, the left-right direction), and has a rod-shaped magnet 191 fitted from above. The magnet 191 has magnetic poles arranged so that both end sides in the longitudinal direction (left and right direction) are N poles or S poles (FIG. 16), and the magnet holding case 194 has a special guide and a central portion in the longitudinal direction of the magnet 191. The position A is arranged so as to coincide with the top and bottom. Thereby, when the magnet 191 is in the vicinity of the lower side of the special guide table 121a, the game balls on the special guide table 121a are attracted to the middle portion of both poles of the magnet 191, that is, the special guide position A.

  The raising / lowering guide part 195 is substantially plate-like extended below the longitudinal direction of the magnet holding case 194, for example, the up-down direction provided in the back wall 129a side of the rear case body 129 in the back side. A guided portion 197 slidable along the guide rail 196 is provided, and a rack gear 198 is arranged in the vertical direction, for example, on the front side thereof. The guided portion 197 is constituted by, for example, a vertical ridge, and is slidably fitted from the front side between the guide rails 196 made of a pair of left and right ridges, for example.

  The attraction member driving means 193 drives the attraction member 192 up and down between an attraction state in which the magnet 191 is close to the lower side of the special guide table 121a and an unattracted state in which the magnet 191 is separated to the lower side of the special guide table 121a. For example, it is composed of a stepping motor, and is disposed in the stage 123 with its drive shaft 193a facing in the left-right direction, and is detachably supported by the rear case body 129 via the motor mounting case 199, for example. Yes. A drive gear 200 is fixed to the front end side of the drive shaft 193a, and the drive gear 200 meshes with the rack gear 198 from the front side. Further, for example, the motor mounting case 199 is provided with a photosensor (not shown) for detecting a predetermined position on the elevation guide portion 195, and the attracting member driving means 193 is driven based on a detection signal from the photosensor. To be controlled.

  When the attracting member 192 is raised to the highest position by driving the attracting member driving means 193, the magnet 191 approaches the lower side of the special guide table 121a (attracting state, FIG. 17), and the attracting member 192 is lowered to the lowest position. Sometimes, the magnet 191 is not affected by the magnetic force on the special guide table 121a, or the influence is extremely small (non-attracting state, FIG. 18).

  Thereby, when the attracting member 192 is in the attracting state, the game ball guided on the special guide table 121a from the first guide passage 55 side through the guide means 124 or by the second guide passage 56 is attracted to the magnet 191. When it is attracted and held on the special guide position A corresponding to the center between the two poles, that is, the central portion in the longitudinal direction, and then the attracting member 192 is brought into the non-attraction state, the stage plate is straight from the special guide position A. It flows down along the slope of 121 and falls into the special area 122a with a high probability. On the other hand, since the game ball guided on the special guide table 121a when the attracting member 192 is in the non-attracting state is not affected by the magnet 191, it follows an arbitrary course and flows down the slope of the stage plate 121. It falls to the special area 122a or the normal area 122b.

  The operation of the center case 27 as described above will be briefly described. During the game operation, for example, by the drive of the swing drive means 101, the swing sorting member 64 repeats the swing operation in a predetermined pattern between the left lowering posture and the right lowering posture, and is interlocked with the swing operation. Thus, the head (first swinging member 113) and the front foot (second swinging member 115) of the movable means 102 imitating a dinosaur are operated, and the dinosaur swings the swing sorting member 64. Is performed (FIGS. 19 and 20).

  When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the opening / closing claw 67 is opened outward, and when a game ball enters the entrance 34 from the entrance opening 66, the game ball is detected by the entrance detection switch 34a. After that, it falls onto the swing sorting member 64. Then, according to the state of the swing distributing member 64 at that time, for example, if the swing distributing member 64 is in the right-down posture, the game ball moves to the second guide passage 56 side (FIG. 19) and in the left-down posture. If there are, they are distributed to the first guide passage 55 side (FIG. 20).

  Further, for example, when a game ball passes the entrance detection switch 34a, the guiding member driving means 143 is activated, and a non-induction state in which substantially the entire magnet surface 141a is retracted to the lower side of the stage plate 121 (FIG. 21); The guiding member 142 repeats the raising / lowering operation in a predetermined pattern between the guiding state in which substantially the entire magnet surface 141a is exposed above the stage plate 121 (FIG. 22), and in conjunction with the raising / lowering operation of the guiding member 142. Thus, the movable means 126 also moves up and down. At this time, of the movable means 126 simulating an automobile, the first movable portion 161 representing the vehicle body moves up and down integrally with the guide member 142, and the second movable portion 162 representing the cabin moves up and down via the interlocking means 163. Is driven to be twice that of the first movable portion 161 and the guide member 142.

  Thereby, when the guiding member 142 is in the guiding state (FIG. 22), the second movable portion 162 projects its upper end side above the first movable portion 161 and the movable means 126 shows the shape of a normal automobile. When the guide member 142 is lowered from the state to the non-guide state (FIG. 21), the second movable portion 162 has its upper end retracted in the first movable portion 161, and the movable means 126 has, for example, the shape of an automobile in which the cabin is crushed. Change. If a moving image corresponding to the tail or rear leg of the movable means 102 representing the dinosaur is displayed on the image display means 33 so as to synchronize with the up-and-down movement of the movable means 126, for example, an effect that the dinosaur crushes the car. It can be performed.

  Further, for example, when the game ball passes the entrance detection switch 34a, the attracting member driving means 193 is activated, and the attracting state (FIGS. 22 and 24) in which the magnet 191 is close to the lower side of the special guide table 121a, and the magnet The attracting member 192 repeats the raising and lowering operation in a predetermined pattern between the non-attracting state (FIGS. 23 and 25) in which the 191 is separated to the lower side of the special guide table 121a.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the game balls distributed to the second guide passage 56 side by the swing distributing member 64 flow into the second guide passage 56 from the inflow port 56a, and the vertical passage portion 86 and the horizontal passage portion 87. Then, it falls from the outlet 56b onto the special guide table 121a on the lower side.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 20, the game balls distributed to the first guide passage 55 side by the swing distributing member 64 flow into the first guide passage 55 from the inflow port 55a, and the vertical passage portion 81 and the horizontal passage. It is guided to the outlet 55b through the part 82. When the guide member 142 at that time is in a non-guide state and the magnet surface 141a is retracted to the lower side of the stage plate 121, as shown in FIG. 21, the game ball that has flowed rightward from the outlet 55b Flows down on the normal guide table 121b as it is, and in most cases, it falls into the normal area 122b and flows into the falling ball inlet 131.

  On the other hand, when the game ball is guided to the outlet 55b, if the guiding member 142 is in the guiding state and the magnet surface 141a is exposed on the upper side of the stage plate 121, as shown in FIG. The game ball that has flowed out of 55b to the right is attracted to the magnet surface 141a, moves as it is along the center line CL of the magnet surface 141a, and is guided onto the special guide table 121a on the other end side. When the guide member 142 is lowered while the game ball is attracted to the magnet surface 141a, the game ball is pulled away from the magnet surface 141a on the normal guide table 121b and directly forwards on the normal guide table 121b. In most cases, it falls into the normal region 122b and flows into the falling ball inlet 131.

  The game ball guided on the special guide table 121a by the second guide passage 56 or by the first guide passage 55 and the guide member 142 flows down on the special guide table 121a, and moves to the special area 122a or both sides thereof. It falls into one of the normal areas 122b and flows into the falling ball inlet 131. At this time, when the attracting member 192 is attracted and the magnet 191 is close to the lower side of the special guide table 121a, as shown in FIGS. 22 and 24, the game that flows down the special guide table 121a forward. Since the sphere is attracted to the intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the magnet 191 and passes on or near the special guide position A, there is a possibility that the sphere may enter the special area 122a arranged on the downstream side of the special guide position A. Get higher. On the other hand, when the attracting member 192 is in a non-attracting state and the magnet 191 is separated from the lower side of the special guide table 121a, as shown in FIGS. 23 and 25, the game that flows down the special guide table 121a forward. Since the sphere is not attracted by the magnet 191, the possibility of entering the special region 122a is lower than when the attracting member 192 is in the attracted state.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, the guide member 142 has the vertical wall surface 181a disposed between the outlet 55b of the first guide passage 55 and a predetermined position on the special guide table 121a, and its And an elongated magnet surface 141a which is provided on the vertical wall surface 181a so as to be substantially flush with the predetermined position side lower than the outlet 55b side, and the magnet surface 141a has an upper edge side in the longitudinal direction. The magnetic poles are arranged such that the N pole or S pole, and the lower edge side becomes the S pole or N pole, and when in the inductive state, the magnet surface 141a connects the outlet 55b or its vicinity to a predetermined position or its vicinity. Therefore, the player can easily recognize the movement of the magnet and the movement of the game ball thereby, and it is possible to sufficiently bring out the fun of the effect using the magnet.

  Further, between the outlet 55b and a predetermined position on the special guide table 121a, a normal guide table 121b that guides the game ball to the normal area 122b side other than the special area 122a is disposed, and the guide member 142 includes: The vertical wall surface 181a is arranged along the upstream side edge of the normal guide table 121b, and is moved downward when in the non-guided state so that the magnet surface 141a is retracted below the normal guide table 121b. Therefore, when the positional relationship of the guide member 142 with respect to the normal guide table 121b changes, the guide state of the game ball changes, and an effect that is easy for the player to understand is possible.

  The special guide table 121a is formed to have a low slope on the special area 122a side, and an attracting state and an attraction for attracting a game ball flowing down on the special guide table 121a to a special guide position A corresponding to the upstream side of the special area 122a by magnetic force. And an attraction means 125 that can be switched to a non-attraction state. The attraction means 125 is disposed below the special guide table 121a corresponding to the special guide position A, and in the tilt direction of the special guide table 121a. On the other hand, a magnet 191 having magnetic poles arranged so that the left and right sides thereof are N and S poles is provided, and the magnet 191 approaches the lower side of the special guide table 121a in the attracting state, and the magnet is in the non-attracting state. Since 191 is configured to be separated below the special guide table 121a, the path of the game ball rolling on the slope is changed without contact. Rukoto can be, there is an advantage that the production effect is further improved.

  Moreover, a first guide passage 55 that guides the game balls that have entered the entrance 34 to the outlet 55b, and a second guide passage 56 that guides the game balls that have entered the entrance 34 to the special guide table 121a, Since the swing ball distributing member 64 that distributes the game ball that has entered the entrance 34 to the first guide passage 55 side and the second guide passage 56 side is provided, the game ball is specially guided through the guide member 142. It is possible to switch between the case of guiding on the table 121a and the case of guiding on the special guide table 121a without passing through the guide member 142, and there is an advantage that the contents of the production can be further diversified.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to these embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, the special region 122a may be disposed in the vicinity of the downstream side of the magnet surface 141a of the guide member 142 so that the game ball guided by the guide member 142 in the guide state enters the special region 122a almost certainly. Good.

  The magnet surface 141a of the guide member 142 is not necessarily arranged in an inclined shape. For example, the magnet surface 141a is horizontally arranged and remains attracted to the magnet surface 141a by the inertial force when the game ball is discharged from the outlet 55b or the like. You may make it move to a horizontal direction. Alternatively, the guidance target position side may be arranged at a higher slope than the guidance start position side so that the guidance target position is reached only when the game ball has sufficient inertial force.

  The guide member 142 may be switched between the guide state and the non-guide state by relatively moving the guide member 142 and the stage plate 121. For example, the guide member 142 is fixed and the stage plate 121 side is moved up and down. You may do it. Further, the vertical wall surface 181a of the guide member 142 is not necessarily vertical, and may be slightly inclined.

  For example, a movable effect unit that operates in conjunction with the attracting member 192 may be provided on the rear side of the cover frame 42 so as to be visible from the player. Thereby, even if the attracting member 192 is not visible, the player can recognize the state of the attracting member 192 by the operation of the movable effect means.

  Moreover, although the example which applied this invention to the pachinko machine was shown in embodiment, it cannot be overemphasized that it can implement similarly in various ball game machines, such as an arrangement ball machine.
