Description

  The present invention comprises a lifting device that lifts a game medium sandwiched between a conveying belt and an abrasive member that face each other while polishing, and an abrasive member moving device that moves the abrasive member with a driving force of a driving means. The present invention relates to a control device for a polishing member moving device that controls the polishing member moving device of an equipped island base with a gaming machine.

  The present applicant has previously filed an automatic winding device for a ball feeding device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-313720. This automatic winding device is designed to operate in a series of controls. This series of controls is to stop the ball feeding device after the hall is closed, and to detect dirt in the ball feeding device. Detects the dirt on the cloth belt, and the cloth belt automatic winding device operates based on the detection of the dirt sensor so that the cloth belt is wound. As described above, the operations from the stop of the ball feeding device to the replacement of the cloth belt are automatically performed by a series of controls, which is highly convenient.

  However, whether or not the automatic winding device is operated is determined by the detection of the dirt on the cloth belt by the dirt sensor. Even if you want to change the belt, it may happen that the belt is not changed, and the replacement timing of the fabric belt could not be matched to the intention of the hall. Moreover, even when a trouble has occurred in the ball feeding device or the automatic winding device, or when it is desired to force the automatic winding device to be operated by a test or the like, it could not be operated.

  Therefore, the present applicant has applied for an automatic winding device that solves such problems in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-47423. This automatic winding device operates a management computer installed in the hall to output an automatic winding signal from the management computer to the control board of the ball lifting device, and operates based on this signal to wind the fabric belt. It is supposed to take. Since the automatic take-up device can be operated appropriately by operating the management computer in this way, the replacement timing of the fabric belt can be matched to the intention of the hall, and the automatic take-up device can be forcibly forced due to troubles and tests. Can also be activated.

  This automatic winding device is designed assuming that no balls remain in the ball lifting device, and is operated in this state. If this is an automatic winding device that can operate even when balls remain in the ball lifting device, the drive motor must have a larger size, higher torque, and a structure that can handle higher torque large motors. In addition, since it is necessary to change the pachinko island stand by increasing the size of the automatic winding device, it is not practical when considering cost-effectiveness.

JP-A-11-47423

  However, the above-described automatic winding device that can be appropriately operated by the operation of the management computer is inappropriate for the operation where the ball lifting device is operating, that is, the ball remains in the ball lifting device. There is a problem that the automatic winding device is operated even in a difficult state. If the automatic take-up device is operated with balls remaining in the ball feeding device, the resistance of the remaining balls to the fabric belt is excessive. Current flows and the tension motor generates abnormal heat, causing damage to the tension motor. Furthermore, due to the strong torque of the tension motor, the members of the automatic winding device may be deformed and the automatic winding device cannot be used. There is. The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to appropriately operate an abrasive member moving device, which is an automatic winding device for winding a fabric belt, and to be inappropriate for operation. An object of the present invention is to provide a control device for a polishing member moving device that can prevent the operation of the polishing member moving device in a state.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, in the invention according to claim 1, a lifting device that lifts while polishing with a game medium sandwiched between a conveying belt and an abrasive member facing each other, and the abrasive member A polishing member moving device control device for controlling the polishing member moving device of the gaming machine installation island including the polishing member moving device that is moved by the driving force of the driving means, the polishing member moving device control device comprises: Based on the instruction of the operation instruction means for operating the polishing member moving device to instruct the movement of the polishing member, the polishing member moving device is operated to drive the polishing member at a position in contact with the game medium. Polishing member moving means for controlling the movement of the unused polishing member to a position where it abuts on the game medium by the driving force of the means, and instructions from the operation instruction means during operation of the lifting device An operation instruction invalidating means for invalidating an instruction of the operation instruction means when there is, and a lifting for instructing the lifting of the game medium by operating the lifting apparatus when the polishing member moving device is operating And a lifting device operation instruction invalidating unit that invalidates the instruction of the device operation instruction unit. With this configuration, the polishing member moving device can be appropriately operated by the polishing member moving unit based on the instruction of the operation instruction unit, and the operation instruction unit can be operated in an inappropriate state for the operation of the polishing member moving device. Even if there is an instruction, the instruction of the operation instruction means is invalidated by the operation instruction invalidating means, so that the operation of the polishing member moving device in a state inappropriate for operation can be prevented. Further, when the polishing member moving device is in operation, the lifting device is not operated by the lifting device operation instruction invalidating means even if there is an instruction from the lifting device operation instruction means. For this reason, as in the case where the lifting device is operated during the operation of the polishing member moving device, the game medium enters the lifting device, and this game medium causes excessive resistance to the polishing member, The polishing member moving device is not damaged. Further, the polishing member moving device does not operate in a state where the lifting device in which the game medium may exist in the lifting device is in operation. For this reason, the driving means is overloaded by the resistance between the game medium and the polishing member as in the case where the polishing member moving device is operated while the game medium is present in the lifting device, and the driving means is abnormal. It does not cause damage due to heat generation.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, the operation instruction invalidating means further instructs the operation instruction means when there is a possibility that the game medium exists between the conveyor belt and the polishing member. It is characterized by invalidating. With this configuration, the operation instruction invalidating means does not operate the polishing member moving device in a state where there is a possibility that a game medium exists in the transporting device. For this reason, the driving means is overloaded by the resistance between the game medium and the polishing member as in the case where the polishing member moving device is operated while the game medium is present in the lifting device, and the driving means is abnormal. It does not cause damage due to heat generation.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the gaming machine-installed island base includes supply stop means for stopping the supply of the game medium to the lifting device, and the operation instruction invalidating means further includes the supply When the stop means is abnormal, the operation instruction means is invalidated. With this configuration, the polishing member moving device does not operate when the supply stopping means is in an abnormal state, in which it cannot be determined whether or not the supply of the game medium to the lifting device has been reliably stopped. For this reason, even if the game medium remains in the lifting device, the polishing member moving device does not operate, and when the polishing member moving device is operated while the gaming medium exists in the lifting device. As described above, the driving means is not overloaded by the resistance between the game medium and the polishing member, and the driving means is not damaged due to abnormal heat generation.

  Furthermore, the invention according to claim 4 is characterized in that the polishing member moving device control device is provided for each polishing member moving device. With this configuration, even when a plurality of polishing member moving devices are provided, the operation instruction means can be processed independently according to the situation of each polishing member moving device. This does not affect the polishing member moving device.

  In the present invention, the polishing member moving device, which is an automatic winding device for winding the cloth belt, can be operated as appropriate, and the operation of the polishing member moving device in a state inappropriate for operation can be prevented.

In this embodiment, the polishing member moving device control device includes a relay substrate 54 and an automatic winding device substrate 67 which will be described later. is there. First, a schematic configuration of the ball lifting device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the ball lifting device 1 as viewed from the rear.

  In the figure, a ball lifting device 1 has a square cylinder-shaped lifting cylinder main body 3 standing vertically on an upper portion of a support base 2 formed in a square shape, and the outer periphery of the lifting cylinder main body 3 in the longitudinal direction. A leather conveyor belt 13 that hangs between a lower roller 4 supported at the lower portion and an upper roller (not shown) supported by a fastening nut 17 by means of an adjusting nut 17 circulates. In addition, a plurality of intermediate rollers (not shown) are rotatably supported in the up-down direction at appropriate intervals in the inside of the lifting cylinder body 3, and a part of the intermediate rollers is part of the lifting cylinder body 3. The conveyor belt 13 is guided and supported by protruding outward from the rising side surface. Although not shown in detail, the lower roller 4 is configured as a cylindrical roller having a relatively large diameter, and when the current is supplied, the cylindrical roller rotates to drive the conveyor belt 13 around. is there. Instead of such a lower roller 4 with a built-in motor, a lower roller and a drive motor may be provided separately, and a V-shaped belt may be stretched over each to transmit the drive force of the drive motor to the lower roller. . In this case, in order to cope with the extension of the V-shaped belt, one or a plurality of rollers urge the V-shaped belt, or between the rollers sandwiching the V-shaped belt that circulates by two rollers. A roller is provided at the tip of each of the support members extending in two directions from the base portion having the support shaft so as to abut on the V-shaped belt to match the extension of the V-shaped belt. It is preferable to use a mechanism in which two rollers rotate around a support shaft, or a tension roller mechanism in which these tension mechanisms are combined.

  Below the lower roller 4, an introduction rod 7 for introducing a pachinko ball before being lifted is fixed on the right side of the drawing, and the inflow for moving the pachinko ball introduced on the left side of the drawing to the lower end of the lifting cylinder body 3 is fixed. The arc cage 5 is fixed. In addition, although not illustrated, a groove for aligning the introduced pachinko balls in a plurality of rows is formed inside the introduction rod 7 and the inflow arcuate rod 5. The mounting structure of the introduction rod 7 and the inflow arc rod 5 is fixed to the mounting plates 8 and 6 so that one end thereof can move slightly, and the other end is planted on the support base 2. The support pin 18 is slidably supported via a spring (not shown). In other words, the lower end of the introduction rod 7 and the lower end of the inflow arc rod 5 are inserted into the support pin 18 and secured by an adjustment nut (not shown) so as not to come off, but are always interposed in the support pin 18. It is biased upward by a spring. Thus, it is possible to adjust the delicate intervals between the conveyor belt 13 and the introduction rod 7 and the inflow arc rod 5 according to the tightening degree of the adjusting nut. By adjusting the intervals, the pachinko balls can move smoothly. Can be made possible.

  In addition, a plurality of tension rollers 14, 15, and 16 that apply tension to the conveyor belt 13 are rotatably supported on the lifting cylinder body 3 above the lower roller 4. In particular, since the second tension roller 15 is attached via a spring (not shown), a constant tension can always be applied to the conveyor belt 13 by the urging force of the spring. Further, the lower roller 4 and the tension rollers 14, 15, 16 are in a substantially vertical positional relationship. When the transport belt 13 is attached, the lower roller 4 is positioned inside the transport belt 13, and the third roller The tension roller 16 is positioned outside the conveyor belt 13, the second tension roller 15 is positioned inside the conveyor belt 13, and the first tension roller 14 is positioned outside the conveyor belt 13.

In addition, the locking metal fitting 12 can adjust the space | interval between the guide rail 11 and the feeding cylinder main body 3, and the clamping force of the pachinko ball by the conveyance belt 13 and the cloth belt 20 is adjusted by this adjustment. It can always be adjusted to the optimum strength. The cloth belt 20 is made of a cloth having a relatively coarse texture in order to exhibit its ball polishing ability.

  In addition, a plurality of rows of guide rail grooves (not shown) into which a part of the pachinko ball to be fed falls is formed on the inner side surface of the guide rail 11 so that the pachinko balls are fed vertically in a row. Yes. Specifically, a urethane plate (not shown) having a plurality of guide rail grooves formed therein is inserted into the guide rail 11, and the urethane plate is inserted between the urethane plate and the back surface of the guide rail 11. A plurality of springs (not shown) that are pressed and supported to the side are embedded. When the pachinko ball is lifted along the guide rail groove formed on the urethane plate, an appropriate pinching force is applied to the pachinko ball held between the cloth belt 20 and the conveyor belt 13 by a spring, and the pachinko ball The ball is reliably polished.

  Thus, as described above, the pachinko ball introduced into the introduction rod 7 in the state where the guide rail 11 is attached facing the lifting cylinder body 3 by the locking metal fitting 12 passes through the inflow arc cage 5. Then, it is nipped between the conveying belt 13 and the cloth belt 20 and is lifted while being polished, and is fixed to the upper part of the lifting cylinder main body 3 to bend the ball in the discharge direction. The pachinko balls cleaned from 10 are discharged.

  A ball passage detecting device 21 for detecting a pachinko ball passing through the guide rail groove is attached to the end portion of the guide rail 11 described above.

  Furthermore, an automatic winding mechanism 27 and an automatic mounting mechanism 25 constituting an automatic winding device 22 as a polishing member moving device are provided on the back side of the guide rail 11 described above. The automatic winding mechanism 27 winds the used cloth belt 20 in a roll shape, and a pulling device 23 including a pulling motor (not shown) as a driving means for pulling the upper end of the used cloth belt 20. And a winding device 24 having a built-in winding motor (not shown) for storage.

  The ball lifting device delay setting switch 54 a is a rotary switch, and after receiving the operation instruction signal of the ball lifting device 1 from the switch panel 55 or the collective operation panel 60, the ball lifting device delay setting switch 54 a is actually supplied to the ball lifting device substrate 53. The time until the signal is sent is set. For example, when the arrow of the ball lifting device delay setting switch 54a is set to the 0 position, a signal is sent to the ball lifting device substrate 53 when the operation instruction signal is received, and the drive motor of the ball lifting device 1 is turned on. If the arrow of the switch 54a for delay setting 54a is set to the position 1, the signal is sent to the ball lifter substrate 53 about 1 second after receiving the operation instruction signal. The drive motor of the feeder 1 is driven. In this way, the time from when the operation instruction signal is received until the drive motor of the ball lifting device 1 is driven changes according to the set value of the ball lifting device delay setting switch 54a.

When the changeover switch 53a is set to manual, the shutter manual switch 53b and the ball lifting device manual switch 53c can be operated. When the changeover switch 53a is set to automatic, the shutter manual switch 53b and the ball lifting device manual operation are performed manually. The switch 53c cannot be operated, and the ball lifting device 1 and the shutter device 45 are controlled by a signal from the relay board 54. The shutter manual switch 53b and the ball lifting device manual switch 53c are compulsory to remove the abnormality when some abnormality occurs in the ball lifting device 1 and the shutter device 45 and cannot be driven normally. The ball lifting device 1 and the shutter device 45 are driven.

  In addition to the above, the relay substrate 54 has a heater device substrate 65 to which a heater (not shown) is connected, a ball removal device substrate 66 to which a ball removal device 39 is connected, and the automatic winding device 22, which will be described later.

The operation signal is output to the ball lifting device substrate 53 via the input / output port 64 after being delayed by the time until driving.

  When the ball lifting device substrate 53 receives a signal from the overflow sensor 56, that is, when the pachinko ball overflows in the pachinko island platform 30, the ball lifting device substrate 53 outputs a signal to the shutter substrate 68 to cause the shutter device 45 to be turned on. At the same time as closing, a signal is output to the flash lamp 51 through the power supply unit 52 so that the flash lamp 51 is turned on, and an abnormality signal is output to the relay board 54 to indicate an overflow, thereby stopping the ball lifting device 1.

  The base portion 80 is composed of a base plate 82 formed of a rectangular plate material, and an attachment for attaching the base plate 82 to the non-priority tank 36 on the upper and lower sides on both sides of the base plate 82. A hole 83 is formed, and an opening 84 through which a pachinko ball passes is formed slightly below the center in the vertical direction. Further, an attachment projection 85 for attaching the slide portion 81 is provided at a position slightly above the center from both sides. An eccentric knob 86 for fixing the attached slide portion 81 is attached to the side of the attachment protrusion 85, and a restriction protrusion 87 for restricting the rotation of the eccentric knob 86 is provided obliquely below the eccentric knob 86. Has been.

  The slide portion 81 includes a bracket 92 attached to the base portion 80, a slide plate 95 supported so as to be slidable in the vertical direction with respect to the bracket 92, a shielding plate 97 attached to the slide plate 95, the switch substrate 103, and the like. And an attachment portion (not shown) to which the electrical components are attached.

  The bracket 92 is formed by connecting plate members having an L-shaped cross section with a flat plate, an attachment hole (not shown) is formed in the attachment surface to the base portion 80, and the surface to which the slide plate 95 is attached is provided on the surface. A roller 91 is attached. The slide plate 95 is formed by bending and raising the periphery other than the lower end of the plate material, and slides on the roller 91 in the vertical direction. A rack mounting plate 100 that is slidable in the vertical direction with respect to the slide plate 95 is attached to substantially the center of the slide plate 95. The rack mounting plate 100 has an L-shaped cross section, and the upper end of the portion bent forward in the figure is connected to the upper portion of the slide plate 95 by a spring 102. In addition, a rack 99 is attached to the left side surface of the portion bent toward the front in the figure, and a contact protrusion 101 whose upper and lower center is bent into a U-shape is attached to the right side surface. An attachment hole (not shown) for attaching the shielding plate 97 is formed in the lower end portion of the slide plate 95. The shielding plate 97 is formed of a substantially square plate material. A shielding plate opening 98 is formed in the upper portion of the shielding plate 97, and an attachment projection 96 is projected from the upper end portion.

  Further, an attachment portion (not shown) is attached to the bracket 92 so as to cover the slide plate 95. A shutter motor (not shown) as a driving means and a shutter substrate 68 (see FIG. 4) for controlling the shutter motor are attached to the front surface side of the attachment portion, and on the back side of the attachment portion, that is, the slide plate 95 side. A switch mounting plate 88 having an L-shaped cross section is mounted. A switch board 103 is attached to the switch mounting plate 88. A shutter close switch 89 is attached to the upper end of the switch board 103, and a shutter open switch 90 is attached to the lower end. A motor shaft 94 of the shutter motor passes through the mounting portion and protrudes toward the slide plate 95. A pinion 93 is attached to the tip of the motor shaft 94, and the pinion 93 is engaged with the rack 99.

  In order to assemble the shutter device 45, first, the base portion 80 is attached to the side surface of the non-priority tank 36. The eccentric knob 86 of the base part 80 is rotated outward so that the slide part 81 enters between the eccentric knobs 86 on both sides. Then, the shielding plate 97 is attached to the slide plate 95 in advance by inserting the attachment protrusion 96 of the shielding plate 97 into the attachment hole of the slide plate 95. In this state, the slide portion 81 is attached to the base portion 80 by inserting the attachment holes of the bracket 92 into the attachment protrusions 85 of the base plate 82. By rotating the eccentric knob 86 inward and holding the bracket 92 between the eccentric knob 86 and the base plate 82, the slide portion 81 is fixed to the base portion 80.

  When a shutter closing signal is input to the shutter device 45 assembled as described above, the shutter motor rotates counterclockwise and the slide plate 95 and the shielding plate 97 rise, as shown in FIG. In addition, the opening 84 is closed by the shielding plate 97, and the shutter closing switch 89 is pressed by the contact projection 101 to be turned ON, and the shutter motor is stopped by this ON signal.

  When a shutter release signal is input to the shutter device 45, the shutter motor rotates in the clockwise direction, and the slide plate 95 and the shielding plate 97 are lowered. As shown in FIG. When the opening 98 is positioned at the opening 84 portion, the opening 84 is opened, and the shutter opening switch 90 is pressed by the contact protrusion 101 to be turned ON, and the shutter motor is stopped by this ON signal.

  Next, control processing repeatedly performed by the relay substrate 54 and the ball lifting device substrate 53 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 is a routine of the relay substrate ball lifting device processing performed by the relay substrate 54, FIG. 7 is a main routine of the ball lifting device substrate processing performed by the ball lifting device substrate 53, and FIG. FIG. 9 is a subroutine showing the ball lifting device operation processing, FIG. 10 is a subroutine showing the ball lifting device stop processing, and FIG. 11 shows the shutter closing processing. This subroutine is shown.

  First, in the relay substrate ball lifting device process including the lifting device operation instruction invalidating unit shown in FIG. 6, in step 10, it is determined whether or not there is a standby signal output from the ball lifting device substrate 53. This standby signal is a signal that is output when the ball lifting device substrate 53 is operating normally. If it is determined in step 10 that there is no standby signal output, power is not supplied to the ball lifting device substrate 53 or the ball lifting device malfunctions in step 11 because it is not operating normally due to some failure. “9” is displayed as a number on the display 54b, and the ball lifting device display section 50a and the ball lifting device switch 55a are lit red, and the control is terminated. If it is determined that there is a standby signal output, the process proceeds to step 12. In step 12, it is determined whether or not there is an abnormal signal output from the ball lifting device substrate 53. If it is determined that there is no abnormal signal output, in step 13 the ball lifting device abnormality indicator on the relay substrate 54. 54b is turned off, and the redness of the ball feeding device display unit 50a and the ball lifting device switch 55a is turned off, and the process proceeds to Step 15. When it is determined that there is an abnormal signal output, in step 14, the ball feeding device abnormality indicator 54b displays a number corresponding to the type of abnormality signal, and the ball lifting device display unit 50a and the ball feeding device. After the switch 55a is lit red, the process proceeds to step 15. In addition, the number display according to the kind of abnormality signal displayed on the ball feeding apparatus abnormality indicator 54b is mentioned later.

  In step 15, it is determined whether or not there is an operating signal output from the ball lifting device substrate 53. If it is determined that there is no operating signal output, in step 16, the ball lifting device display unit 50 a and the ball are output. The lifting device switch 55a is turned off and the process proceeds to Step 20. In step 20, it is determined whether or not the operation input of the ball lifting device 1 has been performed by manual operation of the collective operation panel 60 or the switch panel 55, that is, whether or not there is an operation instruction signal output. If it is determined that there is no output, the control is terminated as it is, but if it is determined that there is an operation instruction signal output, the process proceeds to step 21. In step 21, it is determined whether or not there is an operating signal output of the automatic winding device 22 from the automatic winding device substrate 67, and if it is determined that there is an operating signal output, the control ends. This is because the ball lifting device 1 is set not to operate when the fabric belt is being wound by the automatic winding device 22. If it is determined that there is no in-operation signal output, the operation signal for the ball lifting device 1 is output to the ball lifting device substrate 53 in step 22, and the control is terminated. In this way, when the cloth belt 20 is being wound by the automatic winding device 22, the cloth belt 20 is being wound because the operation instruction signal of the ball feeding device 1 is invalidated. Further, the ball feeding device 1 is not driven to adversely affect the winding operation of the fabric belt 20.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 15 that there is an operating signal output, the ball lifting device display unit 50a and the ball lifting device switch 55a are lit in green in step 17 and the process proceeds to step 18. In step 18, it is determined whether or not a stop input of the ball lifting device 1 has been made by an artificial operation of the collective operation panel 60 or the switch panel 55, that is, whether or not there is a stop instruction signal output. If it is determined that there is no data, the control is terminated as it is. If it is determined that there is a stop instruction signal output, the stop signal of the ball lifting device 1 is output to the ball lifting device substrate 53 in step 19 and then the control is terminated.

  Next, in the ball lifting device substrate process shown in FIG. 7, in step 30, it is determined whether or not the circuit of the ball lifting device substrate 53 is normal. If it is determined that the operation is not normal, the output of the standby signal output to the relay board 54 in step 31 is stopped, and then the control is terminated. If it is determined to be normal, a standby signal is output to the relay board 54 in step 32 (see step 10), and then a subroutine for shutter abnormality cancellation processing is performed in step 33.

  In the shutter abnormality canceling process subroutine, it is determined in step 60 in FIG. 8 whether there is a shutter abnormality. Whether or not there is a shutter abnormality is determined by determining whether or not there is an abnormal signal output in a ball lifting device operating process or a ball lifting device stop process described later. If it is determined in step 60 that there is no shutter abnormality, the process exits the shutter abnormality canceling process subroutine and proceeds to step 34 of the ball lifting device substrate process. If it is determined that there is a shutter abnormality, the process proceeds to step 61, where it is determined whether or not the shutter opening abnormality has been resolved. The shutter opening abnormality is determined based on whether or not an abnormality signal output in step 79 described later is present. The shutter opening switch 90 is operated even after a predetermined time has elapsed after the shutter motor is driven to open the shutter device 45. Is not ON, and the work for eliminating the shutter opening abnormality is to switch the switch 53a to the manual mode in the ball feeding device substrate 53 and operate the shutter manual switch 53b to operate the shutter device 45. Confirm. If it does not operate, the slide member 81 of the shutter device 45 is replaced. If the abnormality is resolved, the abnormality signal output to the relay board is stopped in step 62, and then the process proceeds to step 63. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 61 that the shutter opening abnormality has not been resolved, the process proceeds to step 63 without executing step 62.

  In step 63, it is determined whether or not the shutter close abnormality has been resolved. The shutter closing abnormality is determined based on whether or not an abnormality signal is output in steps 89 and 95 described later, and the shutter is closed even after a predetermined time has elapsed after the shutter motor is driven to close the shutter device 45. This is a case where the switch 89 is not turned ON, and as an operation for eliminating the shutter closing abnormality, the changeover switch 53a is switched to the manual mode on the ball feeding device substrate 53, and the shutter device 45 is operated by operating the shutter manual switch 53b. Confirm whether to do. If it does not operate, the slide member 81 of the shutter device 45 is replaced, and if it operates and the shutter close switch 89 is turned ON, the abnormality is eliminated. If the abnormality is resolved, the abnormal signal output to the relay board is stopped in step 64, and then the shutter abnormality canceling process subroutine is exited. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 63 that the shutter closing abnormality has not been eliminated, step 64 is not executed, and the subroutine of the shutter abnormality canceling process is exited.

  Returning to the ball lifting device substrate processing of FIG. 7, after exiting the shutter abnormality release processing of step 33, in step 34, it is determined whether or not the overflow sensor 56 is disconnected, and it is determined that it is disconnected. In this case, after an overflow sensor disconnection abnormality signal is output to the relay board 54 in step 36, the process proceeds to step 43 described later. Here, if there is an overflow sensor disconnection abnormality signal output in step 36, it is determined in step 12 of FIG. 6, and “1” is displayed on the doffing device abnormality indicator 54b in step 14 and doffing. The feeder display unit 50a and the ball feeder switch 55a are lit in red to notify the outside that the overflow sensor disconnection is abnormal. An overflow sensor disconnection abnormality means a state in which the sensor is disconnected or the connector is disconnected. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 34 that no disconnection has occurred, the output of the overflow sensor disconnection abnormality signal to the relay board 54 is stopped in step 35, and the process proceeds to step 37. In step 37, it is determined whether or not the overflow sensor 56 is turned on, that is, whether or not the amount of pachinko balls stored in the pachinko island platform 30 exceeds the allowable range. If it is determined that the overflow sensor 56 is ON, the flash lamp 51 is turned on in step 40, an overflow abnormality signal is output to the relay board 54 in step 41, and then a ball lifting device in step 42 described later. Proceed to the stop processing subroutine. Here, if there is an overflow abnormality signal output in step 41, it is determined in step 12 of FIG. 6, and “2” is displayed on the ball lifting device abnormality display 54b in step 14, and the ball lifting device. The display unit 50a and the ball lifting device switch 55a are lit red to notify the outside that there is an overflow abnormality. On the other hand, if it is determined that the overflow sensor 56 is not ON, the flash lamp 51 is turned off in step 38, and then the output of the overflow abnormality signal to the relay board 54 is stopped in step 39, and the process proceeds to step 43. .

  In step 43, it is determined whether or not the ball lifting device 1 has an overload abnormality. Whether or not the ball lifting device 1 has an overload abnormality is determined by whether or not the flash lamp 51 is lit. When the flash lamp 51 is lit, the ball lifting device 1 has an overload abnormality. It is in the state of. The overload abnormality is a state in which an overcurrent flows to the ball lifting device 1 due to foreign matter mixed into the ball lifting device 1 or damage to the conveyor belt 13, and the breaker of the power supply unit 52 falls. When the breaker falls, the flash lamp Since the circuit 51 is closed, the flash lamp 51 is turned on and lights up. If it is determined in step 43 that the flash lamp 51 is lit, an overload abnormality signal is output to the relay board 54 in step 45, and an operating signal is generated in step 46 as the drive motor is stopped due to an overflow abnormality. After the output is stopped, the process proceeds to a subroutine for shutter closing processing in step 47 described later. Here, if there is an overload abnormality signal output in step 45, it is determined in step 12 of FIG. 6, and “3” is displayed on the ball feeding device abnormality indicator 54b in step 14, and the The device display unit 50a and the ball lifting device switch 55a are lit red to notify the outside that an overload abnormality has occurred. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 43 that the flash lamp 51 is not ON, the output of the overload abnormality to the relay board 54 is stopped in step 44 and the process proceeds to step 48.

  In step 48, it is determined whether or not there is an operation signal output of the ball lifting device 1 from the relay board 54. If it is determined that there is an operation signal output, the ball lifting device operation processing of step 49 is performed. Proceed to subroutine. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no operation signal output, it is determined in step 50 whether there is a stop signal output of the ball lifting device 1 from the relay board 54. When it is determined that there is no stop signal output, the control of the ball lifting device substrate processing is terminated. move on.

  Next, an explanation will be given of the subroutine of the ball lifting device operating process of step 49 which is executed when no abnormality has occurred in the ball lifting device 1 and an operation signal is output from the relay board 54. FIG. In the ball lifting device operation processing shown in FIG. 9, the drive motor of the ball lifting device 1 is started in step 70 to operate the ball lifting device 1, and the ball lifting device 1 is operated to the relay board 54 in step 71. A medium signal is output, and the timer 01 starts at step 72. Since the ball lifting device 1 is defined as operating when the drive motor is driven, a signal during operation of the ball lifting device 1 is output to the relay board 54 in step 71. After the timer 01 is started, it is determined in step 73 whether or not the timer 01 has passed a predetermined time. The predetermined time is 5 seconds, and this time of 5 seconds is a sufficient time until the conveying belt circulated by the driving motor reaches a constant rotational speed after the driving motor of the ball lifting device 1 is started. . When the timer 01 has elapsed for 5 seconds, the timer 02 is started in step 74, and the shutter motor starts to open in order to open the shutter device 45 in step 75. When the shutter motor starts to open, it is determined in step 76 whether or not the shutter open switch 90 is turned on. If it is determined that the shutter motor is turned on, the shutter motor is stopped in step 77.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 76 that the shutter open switch 90 is not turned ON, it is determined in step 78 whether or not the timer 02 has elapsed for a predetermined time. The predetermined time is 10 seconds, and this time of 10 seconds is sufficiently longer than the time until the shutter opening switch 90 is turned on after the shutter motor of the shutter device 45 is started. Steps 76 and 78 are repeated until the timer 02 has elapsed 10 seconds. However, when it is determined in step 78 that the timer 02 has elapsed 10 seconds, that is, 10 seconds have elapsed without the shutter open switch 90 being turned on. In this case, since an abnormality has occurred in the shutter device 45, a shutter open abnormality signal is output to the relay board 54 in step 79, and then the shutter motor is stopped in step 77. Here, if there is a shutter opening abnormality signal output in step 79, it is determined in step 12 in FIG. 6, and “4” is displayed on the ball lifting device abnormality display 54b in step 14 and the ball feeding device display. The unit 50a and the ball lifting device switch 55a are lit red to notify the outside that the shutter is abnormally opened. As a cause when the shutter opening switch 90 is not turned on, there is a pachinko ball biting in the shutter device 45, an aging of the shutter device 45 itself, or the like. When the shutter motor is stopped in step 77, the process exits from the ball lifting device operation processing subroutine, and the control of the ball lifting device substrate processing ends.

  Next, when a pachinko ball in the pachinko island platform 30 overflows and an overflow error signal is output from the ball lifting device substrate 53 to the relay substrate 54, or the ball lifting device substrate 53 stops from the relay substrate 54. A subroutine of the ball lifting device stopping process executed when the signal is output will be described. In the ball lifting device stop process shown in FIG. 10, the timer 01 starts at Step 80, the timer 02 starts at Step 81, and the shutter motor starts closing driving in order to close the shutter device 45 at Step 82. When the shutter motor starts to be closed, it is determined in step 83 whether or not the shutter close switch 89 is turned on. If it is determined that the shutter motor is turned on, the shutter motor is stopped in step 84.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 83 that the shutter close switch 89 is not turned ON, it is determined in step 88 whether or not the timer 02 has elapsed a predetermined time. The predetermined time is 10 seconds, and this time of 10 seconds is sufficiently longer than the time from when the shutter motor of the shutter device 45 is started until the shutter close switch 89 is turned on. Steps 83 and 88 are repeated until the timer 02 has elapsed 10 seconds. However, when it is determined in step 88 that the timer 02 has elapsed 10 seconds, that is, 10 seconds have elapsed without the shutter close switch 89 being turned on. In this case, since an abnormality has occurred in the shutter device 45, a shutter close abnormality signal is output to the relay board 54 in step 89, and then the shutter motor is stopped in step 84. Here, if there is a shutter closing abnormality signal output in step 89, it is determined in step 12 of FIG. 6, and “4” is displayed on the ball lifting device abnormality display 54b in step 14 and the ball feeding device display. The unit 50a and the ball lifting device switch 55a are lit red to notify the outside that the shutter is abnormally closed. As a cause when the shutter closing switch 89 is not turned on, there is a pachinko ball biting in the shutter device 45, an aging of the shutter device 45 itself, or the like.

  After the shutter motor is stopped, it is determined in step 85 whether or not the timer 01 has elapsed a predetermined time. The predetermined time is 20 seconds, and the time of 20 seconds is such that all the pachinko balls in the ball lifting device 1 are discharged after the shutter motor of the shutter device 45 is started. This is the time required for all processing to be fully completed. Step 85 is repeated until the timer 01 has elapsed 20 seconds. If it is determined that the timer 01 has elapsed 20 seconds, the drive motor of the ball lifting device 1 is stopped in step 86 and the ball lifting device 1 stops. . Therefore, the time of 20 seconds is a predetermined time from when the supply of the pachinko balls to the ball lifting device 1 is stopped and when the ball lifting device 1 finishes lifting the pachinko balls and stops it. After the ball lifting device 1 is stopped, the signal output during operation of the ball lifting device 1 is stopped with respect to the relay board 54 in step 87, and then the subroutine of the ball lifting device stop process is exited. Control of the apparatus substrate processing ends. Since the ball lifting device 1 is defined as not operating when the drive motor is stopped, the operation signal output of the ball lifting device 1 is stopped with respect to the relay board 54 in step 87. Is called.

  Next, a shutter closing subroutine executed when the ball lifting device 1 is in an overload abnormal state and an abnormal signal is output from the ball lifting device substrate 53 to the relay substrate 54 will be described. In the shutter closing process shown in FIG. 11, the timer starts in Step 90 and the shutter motor starts closing driving in order to close the shutter device 45 in Step 91. When the shutter motor starts closing driving, it is determined in step 92 whether or not the shutter closing switch 89 has been turned ON. The control of the shutter closing process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 92 that the shutter close switch 89 is not turned ON, it is determined in step 96 whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. The predetermined time is 10 seconds, and this time of 10 seconds is the time from when the shutter motor of the shutter device 45 is started until the shutter close switch 89 is turned on, as in the case of the ball lifting device stop processing. Also long enough time. Steps 92 and 94 are repeated until the timer has elapsed 10 seconds, but when it is determined in step 94 that the timer has elapsed 10 seconds, that is, 10 seconds have elapsed without the shutter close switch 89 being turned on. Since some abnormality has occurred in the shutter device 45, a shutter close abnormality signal is output to the relay board 54 in step 97, and then the shutter motor is stopped in step 93. After the shutter motor is stopped, the process exits from the shutter closing process subroutine, and the control of the shutter closing process ends. Here, if there is a shutter closing abnormality signal output in step 97, it is determined in step 12 in FIG. 6, and “4” is displayed on the ball lifting device abnormality display 54b in step 14 and the ball feeding device display. The unit 50a and the ball lifting device switch 55a are lit red to notify the outside that the shutter is abnormally closed.

  Next, control processing repeatedly performed by the relay substrate 54 and the automatic winding device substrate 67 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 12 is a routine of relay substrate automatic winding device processing performed by the relay substrate 54, FIG. 13 is a main routine of automatic winding device substrate processing performed by the ball feeding device substrate 53, and FIG. FIG. 15 is a subroutine showing a looseness correction process.

  First, in the relay board automatic winding device process including the operation instruction invalidating means shown in FIG. 12, it is determined in step 100 whether or not there is a standby signal output from the automatic winding device board 67. This standby signal is a signal output when the automatic winding device substrate 67 is operating normally. If it is determined in step 100 that there is no standby signal output, power is not supplied to the automatic take-up device board 67 or it is not operating normally due to some trouble. The number “9” is displayed on 54e, and the cloth belt display 50g and the cloth belt switch 55d are lit red, and the control is terminated. If it is determined that there is a standby signal output, the process proceeds to step 102. In step 102, it is determined whether or not there is an abnormal signal output from the automatic winding device substrate 67. If it is determined that there is no abnormal signal output, the cloth belt abnormality indicator 54e on the relay substrate 54 is displayed in step 103. At the same time, the cloth belt display 50g and the cloth belt switch 55d are turned off, and the process proceeds to Step 105. If it is determined that there is an abnormal signal output, a number corresponding to the type of the abnormal signal is displayed on the cloth belt abnormality display 54e in step 104, and the cloth belt display section 50g and the cloth belt switch 55d are lit red. Then, the process proceeds to step 105. In addition, the number display according to the kind of abnormality signal displayed on the cloth belt abnormality indicator 54e will be described later.

  In step 105, it is determined whether or not there is an operating signal output from the automatic winding device substrate 67. If it is determined that there is no operating signal output, in step 106, the cloth belt display unit 50g and the cloth belt switch are detected. 55d is turned off and the process proceeds to Step 110. In step 110, it is determined whether or not an operation input of the automatic winding device 22 has been made by human operation of the collective operation panel 60 or the switch panel 55, that is, whether or not there is an operation instruction signal output. If it is determined that there is no data, the control is terminated as it is. If it is determined that there is an operation instruction signal output, the process proceeds to step 111. In step 111, it is determined whether or not there is an in-operation signal output of the ball lifting device 1 from the ball lifting device substrate 53, and if it is determined that there is an in-operation signal output, the control ends. This is because the automatic winding device 22 is set not to operate when the ball lifting device 1 is operating. If it is determined that there is no in-operation signal output, the process proceeds to step 112. In step 112, it is determined whether or not there is a shutter closing abnormality signal output from the ball lifting device substrate 53, and if it is determined that there is a shutter closing abnormality signal output, the control is terminated. This is because the automatic winding device 22 is set not to operate when some abnormality occurs in the shutter device 45 and a shutter close abnormality signal is output in step 89 of FIG. 10 or step 95 of FIG. . If it is determined that there is no shutter closing abnormality signal output, the operation signal of the automatic winding device 22 is output to the automatic winding device substrate 67 in step 113, and then the control is terminated. Thus, when the ball lifting device 1 is operating, or when an abnormality has occurred in the shutter device 45, even if there is an operation instruction signal of the automatic winding device 22, It is possible to reliably prevent the winding operation in a state inappropriate for winding. It should be noted that a detecting means for detecting the ball in the ball feeding device 1 is provided, and if the pachinko ball is not detected by this detecting means, the process proceeds to step 113, and if the pachinko ball is detected, the step to end the control is step 112. And step 113 may be provided.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 105 that there is an operating signal output, the cloth belt display 50g and the cloth belt switch 55d are lit in green in step 107 and the process proceeds to step 108. In step 108, it is determined whether or not the automatic winding device 22 has been stopped by manual operation of the collective operation panel 60 or the switch panel 55, that is, whether or not there is a stop instruction signal output. If it is determined that there is no, the control is terminated as it is. If it is determined that there is a stop instruction signal output, a stop signal for the automatic winding device 22 is output to the automatic winding device substrate 67 in step 109, and then the control is terminated.

  Next, in the automatic winding apparatus substrate processing shown in FIG. 13, in step 120, it is determined whether or not the circuit of the automatic winding apparatus substrate 67 is normal. If it is determined that the operation is not normal, the output of the standby signal output to the relay board 54 in step 121 is stopped, and then the control is terminated. If it is determined that the output signal is normal, a standby signal is output to the relay board 54 in step 122 (see step 100), and then an operation signal output of the automatic winding device 22 from the relay board 54 is output in step 123. If it is determined that there is an operation signal output, the process proceeds to a subroutine of automatic winding device winding processing as a polishing member moving means in step 124. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no operation signal output, it is determined in step 125 whether or not the looseness detection switch is ON. If it is determined that the looseness detection switch is not ON, the control of the automatic winding apparatus substrate processing is terminated, and if it is determined that the looseness switch is ON, the process proceeds to the loosening correction subroutine of step 126. .

  Next, a subroutine of the automatic winding device winding process in step 124 that is executed when no abnormality has occurred in the automatic winding device 22 and an operation signal is output from the relay board 54 will be described. In the automatic winding device winding process shown in FIG. 14, after the timer 01 is started at step 130, counting of the number of rotations of the cloth belt roller of the tension device 23 is started at step 131. The rotation speed of the cloth belt roller is determined by a rotation detection sensor incorporated in the tension device 23. After the count of the number of rotations of the cloth belt roller is started, the cloth belt 20 can be moved by exciting the electromagnetic clutch in the stop device 26 and enabling the cloth belt roller of the stop device 26 to rotate in step 132. In this state, the tension motor of the tension device 23 and the winding motor of the winding device 24 are driven. After the stop device 26 is opened and the tension motor and the winding motor are driven, a signal indicating that the automatic winding device 22 is in operation is output to the relay substrate 54 in step 133. After the operation signal of the automatic winding device 22 is output to the relay board 54, the current value of the tension motor is monitored in step 134 to determine whether or not the current value is excessive. If it is determined that the current value is excessive, an overload abnormality signal is output to the relay board 54 at step 135, and then the process proceeds to step 142. Here, if there is an overload abnormality signal output in step 135, it is determined in step 102 in FIG. 12, and “2” is displayed on the cloth belt abnormality display 54e in step 104, and the cloth belt display section 50g and the cloth belt The belt switch 55d is lit red to notify the outside that there is an overload abnormality.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 134 that the current value is not excessive, it is determined in step 136 whether the cloth belt shortage switch of the stopping device 26 is ON. If it is determined that the fabric belt shortage switch is ON, since the fabric belt 20 is insufficient, a shortage signal is output to the relay board 54 in step 137, and then the flow proceeds to step 142. Here, if there is an abnormal signal output in step 137, it is determined in step 102 in FIG. 12, and in step 104, only the “1 roll” display portion of the fabric belt display portion 50g is lit red so that the fabric belt is insufficient. Inform the outside that you are doing. If it is determined that the fabric belt shortage switch is not ON, it is determined in step 138 whether or not the rotation detection sensor of the tension device 23 has reached a predetermined value. The predetermined value set in advance is determined by the amount of movement of the fabric belt 20. For example, when exchanging the length of the guide rail 11 by one replacement of the fabric belt 20, the length is set to that length. The number of rotations of the corresponding cloth belt roller is set in advance.

  If it is determined in step 138 that the rotation detection sensor has reached the predetermined value, the process proceeds directly to step 142. If it is determined that the rotation detection sensor has not reached the predetermined value, the timer 01 is set in advance in step 139. It is determined whether or not the set time has come. If it is determined that the timer 01 has reached a preset time, a predetermined amount of time has passed without the fabric belt 20 being wound up, and in step 140, a winding amount abnormality signal is output to the relay board 54. Then, the process proceeds to step 142. Here, if there is a winding amount abnormality signal output in step 140, it is determined in step 102 in FIG. 12, and “3” is displayed on the cloth belt abnormality display 54e in step 104, and the cloth belt display section 50g and The cloth belt switch 55d is lit red to notify the outside that the winding amount is abnormal.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 139 that the timer 01 has not reached the preset time, it is determined in step 141 whether there is a stop signal for the automatic winding device 22 from the relay board 54. If there is no stop signal from the relay board 54, the process returns to step 134 and repeats from step 134 to step 141. If there is a stop signal from the relay board 54, the process proceeds to step 142. In step 142, the electromagnetic clutch in the stopping device 26 is demagnetized, the cloth belt roller of the stopping device 26 is fixed and the cloth belt is clamped. In this state, the tension motor of the tension device 23 and the winding motor of the winding device 24 are used. To stop. After the stop device 26 is opened and the tension motor and the winding motor are stopped, in step 143, the output of the operation signal of the automatic winding device 22 to the relay board 54 is stopped.

  Next, the subroutine of the looseness correction process in step 126 executed when the operation signal of the automatic winding device 22 is not output from the relay board 54 and the looseness detection switch of the tensioning device 23 is ON will be described. . In the looseness correction process shown in FIG. 15, when the tension motor of the tension device 23 is driven in step 150 and the timer 01 starts in step 151, it is determined in step 152 whether or not the looseness detection switch of the tension device 23 is ON. If it is determined that the looseness detection switch is not turned on, after the timer 02 is started in step 153, it is determined in step 156 whether the timer 02 has elapsed a predetermined time. The predetermined time is 2 seconds, and this time of 2 seconds is a time necessary for the tension detection device 23 to be positioned further upward and to make it difficult for the looseness detection switch to be turned on again. Step 156 is repeated until the timer 02 has elapsed 2 seconds. If it is determined that the timer 02 has elapsed 2 seconds, after the tension motor of the tension device 23 is stopped in Step 157, the process exits the loosening correction subroutine. The control of the looseness correction process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 152 that the looseness detection switch is ON, it is determined in step 154 whether or not the timer 01 has elapsed a predetermined time. The predetermined time is 5 seconds, and this time of 5 seconds is sufficient time for the tension motor to be driven and the looseness detection switch to be turned OFF. Steps 152 and 154 are repeated until the timer 01 has elapsed 5 seconds, but when it is determined in step 154 that the timer 01 has elapsed 5 seconds, that is, 5 seconds have elapsed without the looseness detection switch being turned off. When the cloth belt 20 is not firmly fixed by the stop device 26, some abnormality has occurred. Therefore, in step 155, the stop device abnormality signal is output to the relay board 54, and then in step 157 The tension motor of the tension device 23 is stopped. Here, if there is a stop device abnormality signal output in step 155, it is determined in step 102 in FIG. 12, and “1” is displayed on the cloth belt abnormality display 54e in step 104, and the cloth belt display section 50g and the cloth belt The belt switch 55d is lit red to notify the outside that the stopping device is abnormal.

  Next, the control process repeatedly performed by the relay board | substrate 54 and the ball removal apparatus board | substrate 66 is demonstrated with reference to FIG.16 and FIG.17. FIG. 16 is a routine of a relay substrate beading device process performed by the relay substrate 54, and FIG. 17 is a routine of a beading device substrate process performed by the beading device substrate 66.

  First, in the relay substrate beading device process shown in FIG. This standby signal is a signal that is output when the doffing device substrate 66 is operating normally. If it is determined in step 160 that there is no standby signal output, power is not supplied to the ball removing device substrate 66 or it is not operating normally due to some failure. "9" is displayed as a number, and the ball removal display portion 50e and the ball removal switch 55c are lit red, and the control is terminated. If it is determined that there is a standby signal output, the process proceeds to step 162. In step 162, it is determined whether or not there is an abnormal signal output from the doffing device substrate 66. If it is determined that there is no abnormal signal output, the doffing abnormality display 54d on the relay substrate 54 is turned off in step 163. At the same time, the red color of the ball removal display portion 50e and the ball removal switch 55c is turned off, and the process proceeds to Step 165. If it is determined that there is an abnormal signal output, a number corresponding to the type of the abnormal signal is displayed on the ball removal abnormality display 54d in step 164, and the ball removal display unit 50e and the ball removal switch 55c are lit red. Then, the process proceeds to step 165. In addition, the number display according to the kind of abnormality signal displayed on the ball removal abnormality display 54d will be described later.

  In step 165, it is determined whether or not there is an in-operation signal output from the beading device substrate 66. If it is determined that there is no in-operation signal output, in step 166, the bead display unit 50e and the beading switch 55c are detected. Is turned off and the process proceeds to Step 170. In step 170, it is determined whether or not an operation input of the ball removing device 39 has been made by an artificial operation of the collective operation panel 60 or the switch panel 55, that is, whether or not there is an operation instruction signal output. If it is determined that there is not, the control is terminated as it is. If it is determined that there is an operation instruction signal output, the process proceeds to step 171. In step 171, it is determined whether or not there is an abnormal signal output for releasing the shutter from the ball lifting device substrate 53. If it is determined that there is an abnormal signal output, the control is terminated. This is because it is set so that the ball removing device 39 is not operated when any abnormality occurs. This is because, when an abnormality occurs due to the shutter being opened, the ball feeding to the ball lifting device 1 may not be performed. All the balls in the 32 and the upper tank 31 are flowed down, and the balls to be replenished are lost. In order to prevent this, when an abnormality has occurred in opening the shutter, control is performed to ensure the amount of balls that can be replenished as little as possible without operating the ball removal device 39. If it is determined that there is no abnormal signal output, in step 172, the operation signal of the beading device 39 is output to the beading device substrate 66, and then the control is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 165 that there is an in-operation signal output, the ball display unit 50e and the ball switch 55c are lit in green in step 167, and the process proceeds to step 168. In step 168, it is determined whether or not a stop input of the ball removing device 39 has been input by an artificial operation of the collective operation panel 60 or the switch panel 55, that is, whether or not there is a stop instruction signal output. If it is determined that there is not, the control is terminated as it is. If it is determined that there is a stop instruction signal output, a stop signal of the beading device 39 is output to the beading device substrate 66 in step 169, and then the control is terminated.

  Next, in the beading device substrate processing shown in FIG. 17, in step 180, it is determined whether or not the circuit of the beading device substrate 66 is normal. If it is determined that the state is not normal, the output of the standby signal output to the relay board 54 in step 181 is stopped, and then the control is terminated. If determined to be normal, a standby signal is output to the relay board 54 in step 182 (see step 160), and then, in step 183, there is an operation signal output of the ball removing device 39 from the relay board 54. Is determined. If it is determined that there is no operation signal output, it is determined in step 185 whether there is a stop signal output of the ball removing device 39 from the relay board 54. If it is determined that there is no stop signal output, the process proceeds to step 187, and if it is determined that there is a stop signal output, the solenoid of the ball removing device 39 is turned off in step 186 and the ball removing device 39 is turned off. Is blocked.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 183 that there is an operation signal output of the ball removal device 39, the solenoid is turned on in step 184 to open the ball removal device 39, and then the flow proceeds to step 187. In step 187, it is determined whether or not the solenoid of the ball removing device 39 is ON, that is, whether or not the ball removing device 39 is open. If it is determined that the solenoid is not ON, it is determined in step 191 whether or not the ball flow detection sensor of the ball removing device 39 is ON. If it is determined that the ball flow detection sensor is not ON, Since the solenoid of the ball removing device 39 is OFF and there is no ball flow, the operation signal output of the ball removing device 39 to the relay substrate 54 is stopped in step 193, and then the control of the ball removing device substrate processing is finished. If it is determined in step 191 that the ball flow detection sensor is ON, the ball is flowing even though the solenoid is in the closed state, so that a blockage abnormality signal is output to the relay board 54 in step 192. Is finished, the control of the ball processing apparatus substrate processing is finished. Here, if there is a blockage abnormality signal output in step 192, it is determined in step 162 in FIG. 16, and in step 164, “3” or “4” is displayed on the ball removal abnormality display 54d, and a ball removal display unit is displayed. 50e and the ball removal switch 55c are lit red to notify the outside that there is a blockage abnormality. In this case, when the ball removal device 39 is installed on the left end side of the pachinko island platform 30, “3” is displayed on the ball removal abnormality indicator 54d, and the ball removal device 39 is on the right end of the pachinko island platform. In the case where it is installed on the side, “4” is displayed on the doffing abnormality display 54d, and it is distinguished by the position of the dulling apparatus 39 having an abnormality.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 187 that the solenoid is ON, it is determined in step 188 whether or not the ball flow detection sensor of the ball removing device 39 is ON, and the ball flow detection sensor is ON. If it is determined that there is a ball flow when the solenoid of the ball removal device 39 is in an open state, a signal during operation of the ball removal device 39 is output to the relay substrate 54 in step 190, and then the ball removal device 39 The substrate processing control is terminated. If it is determined in step 188 that the ball flow detection sensor is not ON, the ball is not flowing despite the solenoid being ON and the ball is not flowing. After that, the control of the substrate processing for the ball removing device is finished. Here, if there is an opening abnormality signal output in step 189, it is determined in step 162 in FIG. 16, and “1” or “2” is displayed on the doffing abnormality display 54d in step 164, and a doffing display unit is displayed. 50e and the ball removal switch 55c are lit red to notify the outside that there is an abnormal opening. In this case, when the ball removal device 39 is installed on the left end side of the pachinko island platform 30, “1” is displayed on the ball removal abnormality indicator 54d, and the ball removal device 39 is connected to the pachinko island platform 30. In the case where it is installed on the right end side, “2” is displayed on the doffing abnormality indicator 54d, and it is distinguished by the position of the doffing device 39 having an abnormality.

  The operation of the ball lifting device 1 performed by the above control will be described. The automatic winding device 22 provided in the ball lifting device 1 includes a cloth belt ON switch 60c of the collective operation panel 60 or a cloth belt switch of the switch panel 55. It can be operated as appropriate by pressing 55d, but when the ball feeding device 1 is operating or when the shutter device 45 is abnormal, the relay board automatic winding is performed even if the fabric belt ON switch 60c or the fabric belt switch 55d is pressed. The automatic winding device 22 does not operate due to the device processing. In this way, the automatic winding device 22 is not operated in a state inappropriate for operation.

  The ball lifting device 1 can also be operated as appropriate by pressing the ball lifting device ON switch 60a of the collective operation panel 60 or the ball lifting device switch 55a of the switch panel 55. Is in operation, even if the ball lifting device ON switch 60a or the ball lifting device switch 55a is pressed, the ball lifting device 1 is not operated by the relay substrate ball lifting device processing. In this way, since the ball lifting device 1 is not operated in a state inappropriate for operation, the automatic winding device 22 can be protected.

  As described above, the detailed configuration of the control device for the polishing member moving device has been described. In the present embodiment, a pachinko ball as a game medium is provided between the conveyor belt 13 and the cloth belt 20 as the polishing member. Ball lifting device 1 as a lifting device that lifts while polishing and sandwiching, and automatic winding device as a polishing member moving device that moves cloth belt 20 as the polishing member by the driving force of a tension motor as a driving means And a relay board 54 and an automatic winding device as a control device for the polishing member moving device for controlling the automatic winding device 22 as the polishing member moving device of the pachinko island stand 30 as a gaming machine installation island stand including In the substrate 67, the relay substrate 54 and the automatic winding device substrate 67 as the control device for the polishing member moving device make use of the automatic winding device 22 as the polishing member moving device. The automatic winding device 22 as the polishing member moving device is operated based on the instruction of the collective operation panel 60 or the switch panel 55 as the operation instruction means for instructing the movement of the cloth belt 20 as the polishing member. The cloth belt 20 as the polishing member at a position in contact with the pachinko ball as the game medium is moved by the driving force of a tension motor as the driving means, and the cloth belt 20 as the unused polishing member is moved to the game. Automatic winding device winding processing as a polishing member moving means for performing control to move to a position where it contacts a pachinko ball as a medium, and the operation instruction in a situation where the automatic winding device 22 as the polishing member moving device cannot be operated When there is an instruction from the collective operation panel 60 or the switch panel 55 as a means, the collective operation panel as the operation instruction means Instructions and relay board automatic winding device processing as operating instructions invalid means to disable zero or switch panel 55, and further comprising a. With this configuration, the automatic winding device as the polishing member moving device can be obtained by the automatic winding device winding processing as the polishing member moving means based on the instruction of the collective operation panel 60 or the switch panel 55 as the operation instruction means. 22 can be operated as appropriate, and even if there is an instruction from the batch operation panel 60 or the switch panel 55 as the operation instruction means in an inappropriate state for the operation of the automatic winding device 22 as the polishing member moving device, the operation can be performed. Since the instructions of the collective operation panel 60 or the switch panel 55 as the operation instruction means are invalidated by the relay substrate automatic winding device process as the instruction invalidating means, the automatic operation as the polishing member moving device in a state inappropriate for operation is performed. The operation of the winding device 22 can be prevented.

  In the present embodiment, the relay substrate automatic winding device process as the operation instruction invalidating means has a pachinko ball as the game medium between the transport belt 13 and the cloth belt 20 as the polishing member. The instruction of the collective operation panel 60 or the switch panel 55 as the operation instruction means in a state where there is a possibility of the operation is invalidated. By configuring in this way, the relay board automatic winding device process as the operation instruction invalidating means may have a pachinko ball as a game medium in the ball lifting device 1 as the lifting device. In a certain state, the automatic winding device 22 as the polishing member moving device does not operate. For this reason, as in the case where the automatic winding device 22 as the polishing member moving device is operated while the pachinko ball as the game medium exists in the ball lifting device 1 as the lifting device, the pachinko as the game medium is used. The resistance between the ball and the cloth belt 20 as the polishing member does not overload the tension motor as the driving means, and the tension motor as the driving means does not cause abnormal heat generation and breakage.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the relay board automatic winding device process as the operation instruction invalidating unit performs the batch operation panel as the operation instruction unit when the ball lifting device 1 as the lifting device is in operation. 60 or the instruction of the switch panel 55 is invalidated. With this configuration, the ball lifting device 1 as a lifting device that is in operation may have a pachinko ball as a game medium in the ball lifting device 1 as a lifting device. Then, the automatic winding device 22 as the polishing member moving device does not operate. For this reason, as in the case where the automatic winding device 22 as the polishing member moving device is operated while the pachinko ball as the game medium exists in the ball lifting device 1 as the lifting device, the pachinko as the game medium is used. The resistance between the ball and the cloth belt 20 as the polishing member does not overload the tension motor as the driving means, and the tension motor as the driving means does not cause abnormal heat generation and breakage.
