Description

遊技領域に向けて遊技球を打ち込み、遊技領域において打ち込まれた遊技球を転動流下させることで遊技を行う遊技機（例えば、所謂パチンコ機）が広く知られている。このような遊技機の遊技盤には、入賞口（始動口や大入賞口や普通入賞口等）への遊技球の入賞を検出する入賞検出センサや、遊技盤に対する不正な遊技行為を検出するためのセンサ（例えば、振動検出センサや磁気検出センサ）などの検出センサが多数配設されている（例えば、特許文献１）。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A gaming machine (for example, a so-called pachinko machine) is widely known to play a game by driving a game ball into a game area and rolling down a game ball hit in the game area. In the game board of such a gaming machine, a prize detection sensor for detecting the winning of a game ball to a prize opening (a starting opening, a big winning opening, a normal winning opening, etc.) and an illegal gaming action for the gaming board are detected. Many detection sensors, such as a sensor (for example, a vibration detection sensor and a magnetic detection sensor), are disposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

遊技機では、検出センサは遊技領域内の複数箇所（例えば、始動口、入賞口、大入賞口、アウト口等の近傍にそれぞれ配置させる）を設置対象とする事情がある。そのため、検出センサと検出センサからの検出信号を検出する検出回路部（例えば、パネル中継基板のトランジスタ等）との電気的接続にはコネクタ部材を用いて接続することが一般的に行われている。In the gaming machine, there are circumstances in which the detection sensor sets a plurality of locations in the gaming area (for example, each is arranged near the starting opening, winning opening, winning opening, out opening, etc.). Therefore, for electrical connection between a detection sensor and a detection circuit unit (for example, a transistor of a panel relay substrate) that detects a detection signal from the detection sensor, connection using a connector member is generally performed. .

ところで、コネクタ部材によって信号伝達を行っている場合、コネクタ部材が腐食したり、コネクタ接続部分に塵埃が入り込むと、接触抵抗が発生する。また、コネクタ部材に振動が加わる場合も同様に接触抵抗が発生する。例えば、右打ちをして遊技しているとき等、多数の遊技球が連続的に集中して流下する遊技領域の特定部分からの振動がコネクタ部材に加わった場合、これによって接触抵抗が発生する虞がある。このようなことが原因となって発生した接触抵抗に電流が流れると、接触抵抗の上流側の電位が持ち上がってしまい、本来の正常な状態とは異なる異常な電圧が検知回路部に入り込む虞がある。即ち、検出センサの信号を誤検知する虞がある。By the way, when signal transmission is performed by the connector member, if the connector member is corroded or dust gets into the connector connection portion, contact resistance is generated. Also, when a vibration is applied to the connector member, a contact resistance is similarly generated. For example, when vibration is given to the connector member from a specific part of the game area where a large number of game balls are continuously concentrated and flowed down, such as when right-handed and playing a game, contact resistance is thereby generated. There is a risk. If current flows in the contact resistance generated due to such a cause, the potential on the upstream side of the contact resistance rises and there is a possibility that an abnormal voltage different from the original normal state may enter the detection circuit section. is there. That is, there is a possibility that the signal of the detection sensor may be erroneously detected.

そこで、本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、接触抵抗による検出センサからの信号の誤検知を防止できる遊技機を提供することにある。Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine capable of preventing erroneous detection of a signal from a detection sensor by contact resistance.
