Description

ところで、近年のパチンコ遊技機においては、球抜き処理時に遊技球がスプロケット上に１球も残存しない構造が求められている。 By the way, in recent pachinko machines, there is a demand for a structure in which no game balls remain on the sprocket during ball removal processing .

本発明は、このような課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、球抜き処理時に遊技球が球送り部材上に残存しない弾球遊技機を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a ball game machine in which a game ball does not remain on a ball feed member during a ball removal process .

このような目的達成のために、本発明に係る弾球遊技機は、前面側に所定の遊技領域が形成された遊技盤を収容保持する枠部材と、前記枠部材の後面側に設けられて遊技球を払い出す払出装置と、前記払出装置から払い出された遊技球が通過する球通路と、前記球通路を通過した遊技球を貯留する球皿と、前記払出装置による遊技球の払い出しを制御する制御手段と、を備える弾球遊技機であって、前記払出装置は、上側の球受容口から受け入れられた遊技球が通過する第１案内通路、及び遊技球を下側の球払出口へ案内して通過させる第２案内通路が形成されたケース部材と、遊技球を受容可能な凹状の球受容凹部を有して前記第１案内通路と前記第２案内通路との間に回転可能に配設され、前記第１案内通路内の遊技球を１球ずつ前記球受容凹部に受容して前記第２案内通路に送り出す球送り部材と、前記球送り部材を回転駆動する駆動手段と、前記第１案内通路内の遊技球を当該第１案内通路から分岐して形成された球抜き通路を通じて機外へ排出させる球抜き機構と、前記球送り部材により送り出される遊技球を検出するカウントセンサとを備え、前記球送り部材は、回転軸周り等間隔に設けられた３つ以上の球案内凸部と、互いに隣り合う前記球案内凸部同士の間に設けられた３つ以上の前記球受容凹部とを有して、前記球案内凸部と前記球受容凹部とが回転方向に沿って繋がって形成されており、前記球抜き機構は、前記球抜き通路の少なくとも一部を閉鎖して前記球抜き通路への遊技球の排出を不能とする閉鎖位置と前記球抜き通路を開放して前記球抜き通路への遊技球の排出を可能とする開放位置との間で移動可能に設けられた球抜き部材と、前記球抜き部材を前記閉鎖位置に保持する第１位置と前記球抜き部材を前記閉鎖位置から前記開放位置へ移動可能とする第２位置との間で移動可能に設けられた操作部材とを有し、前記球抜き部材の先端側は、前記閉鎖位置にある状態において前記球送り部材側へ向けて鉛直方向に対して斜めに傾斜して前記球送り部材が回転したときに前記球案内凸部が通過可能となる通過孔が形成されており、前記操作部材は、下側の前記第１位置と上側の前記第２位置との間で上下方向にスライド可能に構成されて、前記球抜き部材が前記閉鎖位置にあり前記操作部材が下側の前記第１位置にある状態では、前記球抜き部材に設けられた突出部と前記操作部材に設けられた突出部とが当接しており、前記球抜き部材は、前記操作部材が前記第１位置にある場合、前記球送り部材の前記回転軸よりも上方において前記閉鎖位置に保持されて、前記球送り部材を回転させたときに当該球抜き部材の先端部と前記球送り部材の前記球案内凸部とが前記回転軸方向に重なり得るようになっており、前記球送り部材のいずれかの前記球案内凸部が前記回転軸の上方となる所定の位置にあるときにおいて、前記操作部材が前記第１位置にある場合は、前記第１案内通路内の先頭の遊技球が前記回転軸の上方において前記球送り部材の前記いずれかの球案内凸部と前記球抜き部材とに跨って当接保持され、前記操作部材が前記第２位置にある場合は、前記先頭の遊技球による球圧によって前記球抜き部材が前記開放位置へ押圧されることで、前記先頭の遊技球と前記球抜き部材との当接が解かれて前記先頭の遊技球が前記球抜き通路へ導かれ、前記球抜き通路を介して前記払出装置から排出された遊技球は、前記機外への排出口の近傍に設けられて左右方向に蛇行する流路である迂回流路を介して前記機外へ排出されることを特徴とする。 In order to achieve such an object, a ball game machine according to the present invention is provided with a frame member that accommodates and holds a game board having a predetermined game area formed on the front surface side, and a rear surface side of the frame member. A payout device for paying out game balls, a ball passage through which game balls paid out from the payout device pass, a ball tray for storing game balls that have passed through the ball passage, and payout of game balls by the payout device And a control means for controlling the ball game machine, wherein the payout device includes a first guide passage through which a game ball received from the upper ball receiving port passes, and a lower ball payout outlet for the game ball. A case member having a second guide passage for guiding and passing therethrough, and a concave ball receiving recess for receiving a game ball, and is rotatable between the first guide passage and the second guide passage The game balls in the first guide passage are arranged one by one in the balls. A ball feeding member that is received in the container recess and is fed to the second guide passage, a driving means that rotationally drives the ball feeding member, and a game ball in the first guide passage is branched from the first guide passage. A ball removal mechanism for discharging the ball through the ball removal passage and a count sensor for detecting a game ball sent out by the ball feed member, wherein the ball feed member is provided at equal intervals around the rotation axis. Two or more ball guide convex portions and three or more ball receiving concave portions provided between the adjacent ball guide convex portions, and the ball guide convex portion and the ball receiving concave portion are The ball removal mechanism is formed by being connected along a rotation direction, and the ball removal mechanism closes at least a part of the ball removal passage and disables the discharge of the game ball to the ball removal passage, and the ball removal. Open the passage and enter the ball passage A ball removal member provided so as to be movable between an open position enabling discharge of the ball, a first position for holding the ball removal member in the closed position, and opening the ball release member from the closed position. And an operation member provided so as to be movable between a second position that is movable to a position, and a tip end side of the ball removing member is directed toward the ball feeding member in a state of being in the closed position. A passage hole is formed through which the ball guiding convex portion can pass when the ball feeding member is rotated obliquely with respect to the vertical direction, and the operation member has a lower first position. In the state where it is configured to be slidable in the vertical direction with respect to the second position on the upper side, the ball removing member is in a state where the ball removing member is in the closed position and the operation member is in the first position on the lower side. And a protrusion provided on the operating member. When the operating member is in the first position, the ball removing member is held in the closed position above the rotation shaft of the ball feeding member, and the ball feeding member is in contact with the protruding portion. When the member is rotated, the tip of the ball removing member and the ball guiding convex portion of the ball feeding member can overlap with each other in the rotation axis direction. When the guide convex portion is at a predetermined position above the rotation axis and the operation member is at the first position, the leading game ball in the first guide passage is above the rotation axis. When one of the ball guiding convex portions of the ball feeding member and the ball pulling member are held in contact with each other and the operation member is in the second position, the ball pressure by the leading game ball The ball removal member is pressed to the open position. Thus, the contact between the leading game ball and the ball removing member is released, and the leading game ball is guided to the ball removing passage, and the game discharged from the payout device through the ball removing passage. The sphere is discharged to the outside of the machine through a bypass flow path that is provided in the vicinity of the discharge port to the outside of the machine and is a flow path that meanders in the left-right direction .

本発明に係る弾球遊技機によれば、球抜き処理時に遊技球が球送り部材上に１球も残存しない構造を実現できる。 According to the ball game machine of the present invention, it is possible to realize a structure in which no game ball remains on the ball feed member during the ball removal process .
