The flow of the unauthorized unlocking detection of the opening / closing door 9 in the first embodiment configured as described above will be described below.
First, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the first embodiment, when the door 9 is unlocked as shown in FIG. 6 (a) during business hours when power is supplied, FIGS. The moving member 301 moves and is detected as OFF by the position detection sensor 302 and is also detected as OFF by the lock position detection sensor 5 of the key.

  That is, when the unlocking operation is performed in the lock mechanism 50 of the key, the tooth portion 312 and the rotating member 311 rotate counterclockwise in the drawing around the rotating shaft 55, as shown in FIG. Since the gear 314 and the tooth portion 312 mesh with each other and the rotation operation is communicated, the gear 314 rotates in the clockwise direction in the figure, and the internal gear 316 connected to the gear 314 via the support shaft 313 in the figure. Rotate clockwise.

  Here, as described above, the rotation operation of the internal gear 316 in the clockwise direction in the drawing is transmitted to the external gear 318 by the engagement of the engagement piece 317 and the serrated tooth portion of the internal gear 316. The roller-like member 322 that has been pressed downward in the figure by the manual operation unit 319 that extends the tip is rotated by the clockwise rotation of the manual operation unit 319 that extends the tip of the external gear 318. The swinging member 321 that retreats in the middle and upward and supports the roller-like member 322 at one end swings counterclockwise around the other end, so that the contact member 323 is not in contact with the swinging member 321. The position detection sensor 302 is detected to be OFF.

Here, an electronic lock is released in the electronic lock mechanism 6 of the open / close door 9 based on an OFF detection signal of the lock position detection sensor 5 of the key of the open / close door 9, and an electronic device that detects the locked state of the electronic lock mechanism 6 is detected. The lock detecting means 7 is detected OFF.

  That is, the reciprocating member 61 is moved to the left in the figure by the magnetic driving force of the solenoid 62, so that the cylindrical lock rod 68 as the second reciprocating member connected to the reciprocating member 61 is to the left in the figure. By moving, the open / close door 9 is brought into a non-contact state with the hole portion 71 of the second fixing member 72 disposed in the open / close door 9, and the open / close door 9 can be freely opened and closed. Further, since the reciprocating member 61 moves to the left in the drawing, the connecting member 65 connected to the reciprocating member 61 moves to the left in the drawing, so that the lower end 651 of the connecting member 65 is moved to the left in the drawing. By retracting, the roller-like member 73 of the electronic lock detecting means 7 for detecting the locked state of the electronic lock mechanism 6 is released from the pressing by the lower end 651 downward in the figure and retracts upward in the figure. When the swinging member 74 swings counterclockwise in conjunction with the roller-like member 73, the swinging member 74 and the contact member 75 are in a non-contact state (unlocked state), and OFF detection is performed. The

Next, as shown in FIG. 8A and FIG. 8C, when the opening / closing door 9 is opened, the door opening / closing detection means 4 detects that it is OFF.

  Here, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the first embodiment, the opening / closing door 9 is opened in order to return the moved moving member 301 to a fixed position by using an artificial operation without using an electric driving force. In this state, the external gear 318 having the manual operation portion 319 that extends the distal end portion that is the moving member 301 is obtained by rotating the manual operation portion 319 that is the return drive means 303 as shown in FIG. The position is returned to a fixed position and the position detection sensor 302 detects ON.

  Subsequently, when the opening / closing door 9 is closed, as shown in FIGS. 8B and 8D, ON detection is performed by the door opening / closing detection means 4, and the opening and closing is performed as shown in FIG. 6B. When the key of the door 9 is locked, ON detection is performed by the lock position detection sensor 5 of the key of the opening / closing door 9, and the position detection sensor 302 maintains the ON detection state as shown in FIG.

  That is, when the locking mechanism 50 of the key is locked, the tooth portion 312 and the rotating member 311 rotate around the rotation shaft 55 in the clockwise direction in the drawing, so that the gear 314 and the tooth portion 312 mesh with each other. Rotational motion is transmitted and the gear 314 rotates counterclockwise in the figure, and the internal gear 316 formed integrally with the gear 314 and the support shaft 313 rotates counterclockwise in the figure.

  As described above, in the counterclockwise rotation operation of the internal gear 316 in the drawing, the engagement piece 317 does not engage with the serrated tooth portion of the internal gear 316, so that the external gear 318 is counterclockwise. Without rotating, the external gear 318 remains stationary even when locked by the key locking mechanism 50. As a result, the manual operation unit 319 with the extended distal end maintains the current state, The position detection sensor 302 maintains the ON detection state.

  Here, based on the ON detection signal of the key lock position detection sensor 5 of the door 9, the electronic lock mechanism 6 of the door 9 is locked as shown in FIG. The electronic lock detecting means 7 for detecting the locked state is detected to be ON.

  That is, the reciprocating member 61 is moved to the right in the figure by the magnetic driving force of the solenoid 62, so that the columnar lock rod 68 as the second reciprocating member connected to the reciprocating member 61 is to the right in the figure. By moving, the cylindrical lock rod 68 is accommodated in the hole 71 of the second fixing member 72 disposed in the opening / closing door 9, and the opening / closing door 9 is in an unopenable state. Further, since the reciprocating member 61 moves to the right in the figure, the connecting member 65 connected to the reciprocating member 61 moves to the right in the figure, so that the lower end 651 of the connecting member 65 moves to the right in the figure. By doing so, the roller-like member 73 of the electronic lock detecting means 7 for detecting the locked state of the electronic lock mechanism 6 is pressed downward in the figure, and the swinging member 74 is interlocked with the roller-like member 73 to make the timepiece turn. By swinging in the direction, ON detection is performed when the swing member 74 and the contact member 75 are brought into contact with each other.

Next, the pachinko gaming machine of the first embodiment is not supplied with power outside business hours, and even when the lock of the door 9 is unlocked, no power is supplied, so the door 9 The lock position detection sensor 5 of the key is in the OFF state as shown in FIG. 6A, but the OFF detection is not performed, and a signal for releasing the electronic lock in the electronic lock mechanism 6 of the door 9 is naturally. Is not output.

  In other words, when the key is unlocked, the engagement member 56 rotates counterclockwise in the lock position detection sensor 5 of the key of the opening / closing door 9, so that it is pressed by contact with the tip of the engagement member 56. Since the roller-like member 51 that has been projected protrudes to the right in the drawing, the swinging member 52 that has been in contact with the contact member 53 swings clockwise in the drawing and is in contact with the contact member 53. Is released and the power is not supplied, so naturally the electronic lock mechanism 6 of the door 9 does not output a signal for releasing the electronic lock. Since the reciprocating member 61 is maintained at the right position in the figure as shown in b), the cylindrical lock rod 68 as the second reciprocating member connected to the reciprocating member 61 is located on the right side in the figure. Maintained in the position of Thus, in order to maintain the state in which the cylindrical lock rod 68 is accommodated in the hole 71 of the second fixing member 72 disposed in the door 9, the door 9 cannot be opened. To maintain.

  In the pachinko gaming machine according to the first embodiment, when the business hours end and the power to the pachinko machine is cut off by a proper procedure, the door 9 cannot be opened outside the business hours. In addition to the function of detecting unauthorized unlocking, it has a function of preventing unauthorized opening.

  Hereinafter, a case where the key 50 of the open / close door 9 is illegally unlocked when the electronic lock is illegally released will be described. When the above-described unauthorized opening is performed, the electronic lock mechanism 6 of the open / close door 9 is illegally released as shown in FIG. 10A, and the electronic lock detection for detecting the locked state of the electronic lock mechanism 6 is performed. Means 7 is in the OFF state.

  Next, when the key of the door 9 is unlocked and then the door 9 is opened as shown in FIG. 8 (a), the moving member 301 is moved as shown in FIG. 4 (a). It is turned off by the lock position detection sensor 5 of the key, turned off by the position detection sensor 302, and turned off by the door opening / closing detection means 4.

  That is, when the unlocking operation is performed in the lock mechanism 50 of the key, the tooth portion 312 and the rotating member 311 rotate counterclockwise about the rotating shaft 55, so that the gear 314 as shown in FIG. And the tooth portion 312 mesh with each other, the rotation operation is communicated, the gear 314 rotates in the clockwise direction in the figure, and the internal gear 316 connected to the gear 314 via the support shaft 313 is integrated in the clockwise direction in the figure. Rotate to.

  Here, as described above, the rotation operation of the internal gear 316 in the clockwise direction in the drawing is rotationally communicated with the external gear 318 by the engagement of the engagement piece 317 and the sawtooth tooth portion of the internal gear 316. Therefore, the roller-like member that has been pressed downward in the figure by the manual operation portion 319 that extends the distal end portion by rotating the manual operation portion 319 that extends the distal end portion of the external gear 318 in the clockwise direction. 322 is retracted upward in the figure, and the swinging member 321 supporting one end of the roller-like member 322 swings counterclockwise in the figure around the other end, so that the contact member 323 is the swinging member 321. In a non-contact state, the position detection sensor 302 is turned off.

  Subsequently, when the open / close door 9 is closed, the door open / close detecting means 4 is turned on as shown in FIGS. 8B and 8D, and the open / close door 9 is opened as shown in FIG. 6B. When the key of the door 9 is locked, the lock position detection sensor 5 of the key of the door 9 is turned on, but the position detection sensor 302 maintains the OFF state as shown in FIG.

  That is, when the locking operation is performed in the lock mechanism 50 of the key, as shown in FIG. 4B, the tooth portion 312 and the rotating member 311 rotate clockwise around the rotating shaft 55, whereby the gear 314 and the toothed portion 312 mesh with each other, the rotational movement is transmitted, the gear 314 rotates counterclockwise in the figure, and the internal gear 316 connected to the gear 314 via the support shaft 313 is counterclockwise in the figure. Rotate in unison.

  Here, as described above, when the internal gear 316 is rotated counterclockwise in the figure, the engaging piece 317 is not engaged with the serrated tooth portion of the internal gear 316, so that the external gear 318 is counterclockwise. Without rotating, the external gear 319 remains stationary even when locked by the lock mechanism 50 of the key, and as a result, the manual operation unit 319 with the extended distal end maintains the current state, The detection sensor 302 maintains the OFF state.

  When the pachinko gaming machine according to the first embodiment having the above-described configuration is illegally unlocked at night, when the power is turned on the next morning, the power to the pachinko gaming machine is cut off in accordance with a legitimate procedure. When the power is turned on again without being locked, the position detection sensor 302 that is detected to be ON is detected to be OFF. Based on these outputs, the determination circuit determines the possibility of unauthorized unlocking outside business hours. A signal for notification is output by the notification means 90 provided in the pachinko gaming machine.

  The notification means 90 includes an unauthorized unlocking notification state when unauthorized unlocking is performed at night and a normal notification state when unauthorized unlocking is not performed at night according to a command from the determination circuit. Yes.

  In the first embodiment, when the opening / closing door 9 is opened and the lock position detection sensor 5 detects the unlocking of the lock mechanism 50, the output is output. Since the locking mechanism of the manual operation unit 319 (not shown) is released, based on the moving member 301 moved by unauthorized unlocking by rotating the manual operation unit 319 as the return drive means 303. It is something to return.

  Further, the lock of the opening / closing door 9 is illegally unlocked, and the electronic lock detecting means 7 for detecting the electronic lock state when the electronic lock mechanism 6 is illegally unlocked is turned off as shown in FIG. After the state is reached and the position detection sensor 302 is in the OFF state as shown in FIG. 4A, an electronic lock detection means 7 for detecting the lock state of the electronic lock mechanism 6 by someone is shown in FIG. Even if the pachinko gaming machine of the first embodiment is returned to the ON state as shown in FIG. 4, if the position detection sensor 302 is detected OFF when the power is turned on, the determination circuit determines that there is a possibility of unauthorized opening. Therefore, the electronic lock mechanism 6 can be detected even if it is illegally opened by a person who can operate the electronic lock mechanism 6.

  Further, in the first embodiment, in addition to notifying by the notifying means 90 etc. when an abnormal state due to unauthorized unlocking is determined, control for preventing the start of the game until a certain condition is satisfied. It is also possible to adopt a modified example in which

  The above described game start prevention control in the first embodiment will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. 11 according to the output of the position detection sensor 302 or the electronic lock detection means 7 for detecting the lock state of the electronic lock mechanism 6. When the unauthorized unlocking is detected in the determination circuit, the abnormality determination control is performed in the main board CPU, and the symbol display device, the speaker, the decoration lamp, the accessory device, and the notification means 90 are output by the output signal from the abnormality determination control. And a signal for turning off the firing solenoid is output.

  Next, a method for canceling the abnormality notification and the game start prevention control will be described below. A gaming machine according to a modified example of the first embodiment includes a release switch 110 as a release method of the abnormality notification and game start prevention control, and the release switch 110 includes the frame body as shown in FIG. A switch operation unit 111 that can be pressed rearward of the frame 101, and a pressure detection sensor 112 that is provided inside the frame body 101 and detects that the switch operation unit 111 is pressed rearward of the frame body 101. Composed. Moreover, it has the structure provided with the surrounding member 114 which has the keyhole part 113 which enables lock management of the said release switch 110. FIG.

  When the abnormality notification and the game start prevention control are activated by the unauthorized unlocking, the hall employee confirms the unauthorized unlocking of the specific gaming table by the notification, and then presses the switch operating unit 111 of the release switch 110. Thus, the detection output of the pressure detection sensor 112 is transmitted to the main board CPU, so that the abnormality notification and the game start prevention control are released, and the electronic lock mechanism 6 of the door 9 is locked. The

  In the following, the flow from the unauthorized unlocking when the power is turned off to the detection of the abnormality due to the unauthorized unlocking when the power is turned on and the release of the abnormality notification and the game start prevention control by the abnormality detection is described above. This will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 12 based on a program stored in advance in the ROM 82 provided on the control board 108.

  In the gaming machine according to the first embodiment, the moving member 301 moves when the key of the open / close door 9 is illegally unlocked after the store is turned off. The position detection sensor 302 is turned on.

  Next, in step 2001, the game machine is turned on the next morning and before opening the store. Next, in step 2002, it is detected by the position detection sensor 302 whether or not the moving member 301 is in a fixed position. If it is in the fixed position, the electronic lock mechanism 6 of the open / close door 9 is locked in step 2003. Whether the electronic lock mechanism 6 is in the unlocked state is detected by the electronic lock detecting means 7 that detects the locked state of the electronic lock mechanism 6.

  If it is determined in step 2002 that the moving member 301 is in the home position, if it is detected in step 2003 that the electronic lock mechanism 6 of the door 9 is locked, It is determined that the determination circuit is normal, and in step 2005, the game can be started.

  In step 2002, it is detected that the moving member 301 is not in a fixed position, that is, in the moving position, or in step 2003, it is detected that the electronic lock mechanism 6 of the door 9 is unlocked. In this case, in step 2006, the determination circuit determines that there is an abnormality. In step 2007, abnormality notification is started, and in step 2008, control for preventing the game ball from starting is started.

  Next, in step 2009, after the employee has taken measures for the unauthorized operation of the nail disposed on the game board and the unauthorized modification of the control board, the lock position detection sensor 5 of the key of the door 9 is unlocked. Is detected, the locking mechanism of the manual operation unit 319 is released by an instruction from the microcomputer 80 as the determination circuit in step 2010, so that the employee operates the manual operation unit 319. To return to the home position (when the moving member 301 is in the home position, no operation by the employee is required).

  Next, when the release switch 110 is operated in step 2011, in step 2012, the electronic lock mechanism 6 of the open / close door 9 in the unlocked state is locked by the magnetic driving force of the solenoid 62 (the open / close door). 9 is maintained when the electronic lock mechanism 6 is in the locked state).

  Subsequently, in step 2013, the abnormality notification is canceled, and in step 2014, the control for preventing the game ball from being released is canceled, and in step 2005, the game can be started.

  In the gaming machine of the first embodiment, the release switch 110 is used as an example of a method for canceling abnormality notification and game start prevention control. However, the power switch detection means described below or a timer circuit is used. Further, it is possible to adopt a modification in which the release switch 110, the power supply switching detection means, or the timer circuit is combined.

  First, as a method for canceling abnormality notification and game start prevention control, the power supply switching detection means uses the output from the power supply switch as shown in the block diagram of FIG. It is determined whether the power supply switching satisfies a predetermined condition. When the power supply switching satisfies the predetermined condition, the abnormality notification and the game start prevention control are canceled.

  In the gaming machine of the first embodiment, as another method of canceling the abnormality notification and the game start prevention control after the abnormality notification, the time when the power is next turned on is within 10 seconds from the time when the power is turned off. An example of canceling the abnormality notification and the game start prevention control when there is a case will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15.

  In the power supply switching determination control, as shown in the control block of FIG. 14, the power-on signal pulse and the power-off signal pulse are extracted by passing the output from the power switch through a differentiating circuit. Next, a rectangular wave pulse that falls within 10 seconds from the rise of the power-off signal pulse is output by a timer circuit, and the power-on signal pulse and the 10-second rectangular wave pulse are input to an AND circuit. When the AND logic is established, the game start prevention control after the abnormality notification is canceled.

  Referring to the time chart shown in FIG. 15, the hall employee confirms the unauthorized unlocking of the specific gaming table by the above-mentioned notification, and after taking necessary measures, it is inserted into the gaming machine at time t1. The power is turned off and the power is turned on again at time t2. Here, at time t1, a 10-second pulse that rises when the power is turned off at time t1 is output together with the power-off signal pulse. When a power-on signal pulse is output at time t2, the power is turned off for 10 seconds from time t1. When the power is turned on again at time t2, the power-on signal pulse and the 10-second pulse are simultaneously output at time t2, and AND logic is established. An AND output serving as a condition for canceling the control is extracted.

  In the following, the flow from the unauthorized unlocking when the power is turned off to the detection of an abnormality caused by the unauthorized unlocking when the power is turned on and the cancellation of the abnormality notification and the game start prevention control by the abnormality detection using the power supply switching detection means is illustrated. This will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. An example is shown in which the moving member 301 returns to a fixed position when a stepping motor 403 that can control the rotation of the gear 314 (not shown) is operated by the output of the power supply switching detection means.

  First, in step 3001, the gaming machine is turned on before the next morning, and in step 3002, the position detection sensor 302 detects whether or not the moving member 301 is in a fixed position. In step 3003, the electronic lock detecting means 7 for detecting the lock state of the electronic lock mechanism 6 detects whether the electronic lock mechanism 6 of the door 9 is locked or unlocked.

  If it is detected in step 3002 that the moving member 301 is in a fixed position, and it is detected in step 3003 that the electronic lock 6 of the door 9 is locked, the determination is made in step 3004. The circuit determines that the game is normal, and in step 3005, the game is ready to start.

  When it is detected in step 3002 that the moving member 301 is not in the fixed position, that is, in the moving position, or in step 3003, it is detected that the electronic lock 6 of the open / close door 9 is unlocked. In step 3006, the determination circuit makes an abnormality determination. In step 3007, abnormality notification is started, and in step 3008, control for preventing the game ball from being started is started.

  Next, in step 3009, the power is turned off. In step 3010, if the power is turned on again. In step 3011, whether the power is turned on again in step 3010 within 10 seconds after the power is turned off. If the power is turned on again in step 3010 within 10 seconds after the power is turned off in step 3009, the process continues to step 3012. After power is turned off in step 3009, the power is turned on again in step 3010 within 10 seconds. If not, the process returns to step 3007.

  In step 3011, when a predetermined condition for power supply switching for canceling the abnormality notification and the game start prevention control is satisfied, in step 3012, the abnormality notification is canceled and in step 3013 the control for preventing the game ball from firing. Is released, the game can be started in step 3005.

Subsequently, after 5 seconds have passed since the power was turned on in step 3010, the moving member 301 moved in step 3014 is returned to the home position by the return driving means 403 (when the moving member 301 is in the home position). At the same time, the electronic lock mechanism 6 of the door 9 in the unlocked state is locked by the driving force of the solenoid 62 (the electronic lock mechanism 6 of the door 9 is in the locked state). In some cases, the status quo is maintained). The employee closes the door 9 and locks the key of the door 9 within 5 seconds from the power-on time.

  Next, a method using the timer circuit as a method for canceling abnormality notification and game start prevention control will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. 17 to detect the locked state of the position detection sensor 302 or the electronic lock mechanism 6. When the unauthorized unlocking is detected in the determination circuit according to the output of the electronic lock detection means 7 that performs the abnormality determination control in the main board CPU, the symbol display device, the speaker, In addition to being notified by the decorative lamp, the accessory device or the notification means 90, etc., a signal for turning off the firing solenoid is output, and in response to the output, the timer circuit provided in the main board CPU is measured for 10 minutes. 10 minutes after the abnormality notification and game start prevention control is activated, the abnormality notification and game Signal to release the start blocking control is configured to be output.

  When the abnormality notification and the game start prevention control are activated by unauthorized unlocking, the hall employee confirms the unauthorized unlocking to the specific gaming table by the time 10 minutes elapses, and the above-described unauthorized opening is performed when 10 minutes elapses. A signal for canceling the abnormal state due to the lock is output without requiring any manual operation.

  In the following, the unauthorized unlocking is performed when the power is turned off, the abnormality due to the unauthorized unlocking is detected when the power is turned on, and the start prevention control of the game after the abnormality is notified by the abnormality detection is realized by equivalently realizing the timer circuit by the program. After that, the flow until release is described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In addition, an example is shown in which the moving member 301 returns to a fixed position when the stepping motor 403 that can control the rotation operation of the gear 314 (not shown) is operated by the output of the timer circuit.

  First, in step 4001, when the gaming machine is turned on before opening the next morning, in step 4002, the position detection sensor 302 detects whether or not the moving member 301 is in a fixed position. In step 4003, the electronic lock detecting means 7 for detecting the lock state of the electronic lock mechanism 6 detects whether the electronic lock mechanism 6 of the door 9 is locked or unlocked.

  If it is detected in step 4002 that the moving member 301 is in a fixed position, and it is detected in step 4003 that the electronic lock mechanism 6 of the open / close door 9 is in a locked state, The determination circuit makes a normal determination, and in step 4005, the game is ready to start.

  Here, in step 4002, it is detected that the moving member 301 is not in the fixed position, that is, in the moving position, or in step 4003, it is detected that the electronic lock mechanism 6 of the open / close door 9 is unlocked. In step 4006, the determination circuit makes an abnormality determination. In step 4007, abnormality notification is started. In step 4008, control for preventing the game ball from starting is started.

  In step 4009, it is determined whether 10 minutes have elapsed from the abnormality determination time in the determination circuit in step 4006. If 10 minutes have not elapsed, the process returns to step 4007. If 10 minutes have elapsed, The moved moving member 301 is returned to a fixed position by the return driving means 403 (the current state is maintained when the moving member 301 is in the fixed position), and in step 4011 the opening / closing in the unlocked state. The electronic lock mechanism 6 of the door 9 is locked by the magnetic driving force of the solenoid 62 (the current state is maintained when the electronic lock mechanism 6 of the door 9 is in the locked state). The employee closes the door 9 and locks the key of the door 9 within 10 minutes from the abnormality determination time.

  Subsequently, in step 4012, the abnormality notification is canceled, and in step 4013, the control for preventing the game ball from being released is canceled, and in step 4005, the game can be started.

  The pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment includes an outer frame 101, the opening / closing door 9 and a game board main body 100 that are openable and closable with respect to the outer frame 101 as shown in FIGS. In the gaming machine, a moving member that moves in conjunction with the unlocking operation of the door 9 and a position detection sensor that detects whether the moving member is in a fixed position or a moved position by detecting the position of the moving member. An electric return driving means for returning the moved moving member to a fixed position; a door opening / closing detecting means 4 for detecting opening and closing of the opening / closing door 9; and a key disposed on the opening / closing door 9. A lock position detection sensor 5 of a key of the door 9 for detecting the unlocking of the lock mechanism 50 and outputting a return drive command to the return drive means, and the output of the position detection sensor of the door 9 Judgment of unlocking key It has a constant circuit. In the following, the configuration of the second embodiment and the flow of unauthorized unlock detection will be described focusing on the differences from the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIGS. 19 to 24, the moving member includes a hollow fixing member 650 having a moving space 611 formed in the vertical direction inside the rear of the outer frame 101. The rectangular member 612 is arranged in the moving space 611 formed in the above-mentioned manner so as to be movable in the vertical direction, and a cylindrical rod member 613 is formed integrally with the rectangular member 612.

  The moving mechanism 610 of the second embodiment is configured by a rack and pinion mechanism, the moving member, a gear 640 that rotates in conjunction with the unlocking operation of the key of the door 9, and the tooth portion of the gear 640. A reciprocating member 614 that moves in a lateral direction and has a tooth portion that meshes with the rectangular member 612 via a hinge portion 615 with respect to the reciprocating member 614 at the tip of the reciprocating member 614 as shown in FIG. A substantially U-shaped swinging member 616 formed so as to swing upward in the counterclockwise direction in order to enable the rectangular member 612 to move upward in the figure, and the substantially U-shaped swinging member. In order to prevent the moving member 616 from moving downward in the figure with respect to the rectangular member 612, the moving member 616 is configured by a blocking mechanism 617 that blocks a downward swinging motion in the clockwise direction.

  Note that one side of the rectangular member 612 is set longer than the facing interval L of the substantially U-shaped swing member 616, and the diameter of the columnar rod member 613 is the substantially U-shaped swing member 616. Is set shorter than the facing distance L. Accordingly, before the unlocking of the door 9 as shown in FIG. 19, the substantially U-shaped swinging member 616 prevents the rectangular member 612 from dropping downward in the figure. 22, when the key of the door 9 is locked, it is possible to avoid interference between the substantially U-shaped swinging member 616 and the columnar rod member 613 that have moved to the right in the drawing. It has a possible configuration.

  As shown in FIGS. 19, 20, 22 and 23, the position detection sensor has a distance of one side or more of the rectangular member 612 below the moving space 611 formed in the fixed member 650. The light-emitting device 621 and the light-receiving detection device 622 are arranged to face each other.

  The return drive means is constituted by a solenoid 631 that attracts the cylindrical rod member 613 upward in the figure by a magnetic drive force based on a return drive current, and the solenonoid 631 is as shown in FIG. 20 and FIG. When the rectangular member 612 and the columnar rod member 613 fall below the moving space 611, the upper end of the columnar rod member 613 is at a position above the lower end of the solenoid 631 in the figure. Arranged.

Since the door opening / closing detection means 4 has the same configuration as the above-described embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.
Since the lock position detection sensor 5 for the key of the open / close door 9 has the same configuration as the above-described embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

  The flow of the unauthorized unlocking detection of the key of the door 9 in the second embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described below.

  First, in the pachinko gaming machine of the second embodiment, when the key of the door 9 is unlocked when power is supplied during business hours, the lock detection sensor 5 detects that the key is OFF, and FIG. As shown, when the moving member falls and moves from a fixed position, the position detection sensor detects OFF.

  In other words, when the key is unlocked, the engagement member 56 rotates counterclockwise in the lock position detection sensor 5 of the key of the opening / closing door 9, so that it is pressed by contact with the tip of the engagement member 56. Since the roller-like member 51 that has been projected protrudes to the right in the drawing, the swinging member 52 that has been in contact with the contact member 53 swings clockwise in the drawing and is in contact with the contact member 53. Is released and OFF is detected.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 20, the reciprocating member 614 and the substantially U-shaped swinging member 616 move to the left in the figure as the key of the opening / closing door 9 is unlocked. When the rectangular member 612 and the columnar rod member 613 supported by the character-shaped swinging member 616 drop downward in the figure, the rectangular member 612 blocks the light emitted from the light emitting device 621. As a result, it is avoided that the emitted light reaches the light receiving detection device 622, so that the position detection sensor detects OFF.

  Subsequently, when the opening / closing door 9 is opened, the door opening / closing detection means 4 detects OFF as shown in FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (c).

  That is, the opening / closing door 9 moves to the right in the figure (FIG. 8C) or swings clockwise (FIG. 8A), so it was pressed to the left in the figure by the opening / closing door 9. When the roller-like member 44 moves to the right in the drawing, and the swinging member 45 that moves in conjunction with the roller-like member 44 swings counterclockwise and is not in contact with the contact member 454. The door opening / closing detection means 4 detects OFF.

  Subsequently, when the opening / closing door 9 is closed, as shown in FIGS. 8B and 8D, ON detection is performed by the door opening / closing detection means 4.

  That is, the opening / closing door 9 moves to the left in the figure (FIG. 8D) or swings counterclockwise (FIG. 8B), so that the roller-like member 44 is moved by the opening / closing door 9 in the figure. Since it is pressed to the left, the swinging member 45 that moves in conjunction with the roller-shaped member 44 swings clockwise and comes into contact with the contact member 454. Is done.

  Subsequently, the key of the opening / closing door 9 is locked and ON detection is received by the lock position detection sensor 5 of the key. In the determination circuit, the key of the opening / closing door 9 is unlocked during business hours (when power is supplied). If it is determined that the lock is normal, an operation signal is output to the return drive means.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 23, the return drive means attracts the columnar rod member 613 upward in the figure by the magnetic drive force of the solenoid 631 based on the return drive current, so that the columnar rod member Since the rectangular member 612 formed integrally with 613 moves upward in the figure, the position detection sensor detects ON again.

  The rectangular member 612 that is attracted upward in the figure together with the columnar rod member 613 by the magnetic driving force of the solenoid 631 contacts the lower end of the substantially U-shaped swinging member 616. By pressing the substantially U-shaped swinging member 616 upward in the figure, the substantially U-shaped swinging member 616 supported by the hinge portion 615 swings counterclockwise. The rectangular member 612 and the cylindrical rod member 613 can be returned to their home positions when the door 9 is closed.

  Next, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment, when the key of the opening / closing door 9 is unlocked when power is not supplied outside business hours, the lock position detection sensor 5 of the key is shown in FIG. As shown in a), the position detection sensor is in an OFF state when the rectangular member 612 as the moving member naturally falls and moves downward in the figure as shown in FIG. Become.
