Description

The present invention relates to an inclination value output system for attaching a pachinko machine to a pachinko island at an arbitrary inclination.

A pachinko game facility is provided with a pachinko island on which an arbitrary number of pachinko machines are attached, and the pachinko machines are attached to the pachinko island for use.
In addition, the pachinko machine is attached to the pachinko island with its upper part tilted backward, and this tilt angle is stipulated by the Enforcement Regulations to be within 1 degree.
The inclination of the pachinko table mentioned above affects the extent to which the nails on the pachinko board tangle when the pachinko balls flow down, the degree of collision with the board surface, and the residence time of the pachinko balls. There is a noticeable effect on the interest of the player, such as change.
Therefore, the pachinko machine must be attached to the pachinko island at an angle of inclination that satisfies the enforcement regulations and interests of the players.

In order to attach the pachinko machine to the pachinko island, an underframe on which the pachinko machine is mounted is first mounted to the pachinko island, and the pachinko machine is mounted on the underframe so as to be openable and closable.
When the pachinko machine is attached to the pachinko island, the angle of inclination is based on the angle of inclination of the board surface or the glass surface parallel to and facing the board surface.
On the other hand, by outputting the tilt value of the board surface or the glass surface to a hall computer or other information terminal equipment, it is possible to display the tilt angle of the pachinko machine or to control the tilt angle of the pachinko machine.

As described above, in order to display or control the tilt angle of the pachinko table, conventionally, an angle detection means is attached to the pachinko frame, and the tilt value of the angle detection means is used to display or control the tilt angle of the pachinko table. .
In reality, the tilt angle of the board surface or the glass surface of the pachinko machine and the underframe, and the underframe and the angle detection means are attached separately, so there is a difference in the tilt angle. Even if the value output information is output to the information terminal device connected to the angle detection means, it cannot be used as information for displaying or controlling the tilt value of the pachinko machine due to an error.

In order to improve the accuracy of the data management of pachinko facilities, it is important to manage the tilt of the pachinko machine as described above. By displaying or controlling the tilt angle of the glass surface in units of 100/1 degrees, it can be used as actual management data.
On the other hand, if the gyro sensor is used to output the tilt angle of the pachinko table or the frame with the above-mentioned high accuracy, the difference between the tilt value of the board surface or the glass surface, which is the reference for the tilt angle, and the tilt value of the gyro sensor. Therefore, this output information cannot be used as information for displaying or controlling the tilt angle of the pachinko machine.

Gyro-sensors are generally incorporated into equipment and used. When using this to measure the inclination angle of a pachinko machine, the pachinko machine or an underframe to which the machine is attached is used. Since it is essential to attach it as an external attachment to the body, and this attachment itself also causes an error, the above-mentioned difference in position has a problem that becomes even more apparent.
The pachinko machine tilt value output system of the present invention has been made in view of the above, and aims at solving the above-described conventional problems.

As means for solving the aforementioned problems, there are Patent Documents 1 and 2 below.

JP 2008-284280 JP 2006-42916

Problems solved by inventions

Patent document 1, as shown in FIG. When the inclination of the outer frame 28 is different from the set inclination, the driving device 30 is operated to move the outer frame 28 so that the inclination of the outer frame 28 becomes the set inclination. It is an automatic adjustment device.
In Document 1 above, it is stated that ``the inclination of the main body of the game machine is the inclination of the outer frame, which is the inclination of the angle detection device, and measuring the inclination of the angle detection device is equivalent to measuring the inclination of the main body of the game machine. However, the tilt of the main body of the game machine is the tilt of the board surface or the tilt of the glass surface parallel to and facing the board surface, which is the standard for displaying or setting the tilt.
However, since the main body of the game machine, the outer frame and the angle detection device 29 are mounted separately from each other, there is a difference in mounting. , even if it is set as the inclination of the main body of the game machine, the actual inclination value of the game machine is not displayed or set, and the information of the angle detection device 29 cannot be displayed or used as management information as it is.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, Patent Document 2 discloses a device in which a tilt sensor is provided on the back side of the game board of the game machine, and the tilt angle measured by the tilt sensor is displayed on the display means of the game machine. Also, the tilt sensor is a gyro sensor, and the tilt angle of the game board is displayed with high precision.
However, this patent document 2 differs from the above-mentioned patent document 1 in that the tilt sensor is attached to the back side of the game board, which serves as a reference for the tilt. Even if the difference between the tilt value of the tilt sensor and the tilt value of the board surface is small, the tilt sensor tilt value and the tilt value of the board surface are different because the tilt sensor is attached separately to the game board with a laminate structure of plywood. Therefore, the information of the tilt sensor cannot be displayed as it is or used as management information.
Further, by using the tilt sensor as a gyro sensor to display the tilt of the board surface with high accuracy, the difference in the tilt becomes more conspicuous. Therefore, the tilt sensor information cannot be displayed as it is or used as management information.
In addition, since the inclination sensor is attached inside the game machine, this patent document 2 cannot be used in a general game machine that displays the inclination of the game machine by attaching the inclination sensor to the frame of the game machine.
