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）。2. Description of the Related Art A gaming machine (for example, a so-called pachinko machine) that plays a game by driving a game ball toward the game area and rolling down the game ball that is driven in the game area is widely known. The gaming board of such a gaming machine detects a winning detection sensor that detects a winning of a game ball at a winning opening (a start opening, a large winning opening, a normal winning opening, etc.), and an illegal gaming act on the gaming board. Many detection sensors such as sensors (for example, vibration detection sensors and magnetic detection sensors) are provided (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 gaming machines, there are circumstances where the detection sensors are installed at a plurality of locations in the game area (for example, arranged in the vicinity of a start opening, a winning opening, a big winning opening, an out opening, etc.). For this reason, a connector member is generally used for electrical connection between a detection sensor and a detection circuit unit (for example, a transistor on a panel relay board) that detects a detection signal from the detection sensor. .

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, when the connector member is corroded or dust enters the connector connecting portion, contact resistance is generated. Similarly, contact resistance occurs when vibration is applied to the connector member. For example, when playing a right-handed game, when vibration is applied to the connector member from a specific part of the game area where a large number of game balls continuously concentrate and flow down, this causes contact resistance. There is a fear. If a current flows through the contact resistance generated due to this, the potential on the upstream side of the contact resistance will rise, and an abnormal voltage different from the original normal state may enter the detection circuit unit. is there. That is, there is a possibility that the signal of the detection sensor is 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 that can prevent erroneous detection of a signal from a detection sensor due to contact resistance.
