Description

The present invention relates to an inclination management system for a pachinko machine, which manages the inclination of the installation of the pachinko machine.

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.
On the other hand, the pachinko machine is attached to the pachinko island with its upper part tilted backward. , and the retention time of the pachinko balls, etc., and the degree of this inclination has a remarkable effect on the interest of the players, such as the winning rate of the pachinko balls.
In addition, the inclination of the pachinko machine is restricted to within a certain inclination angle according to the enforcement regulations of the industry.
Therefore, in mounting the pachinko machine, it is necessary to set and mount the pachinko machine at an angle of inclination that allows the performance of the machine to be maximized within the limited angle of inclination.

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 front side of this frame so as to be openable and closable.
In addition, since the standard for the angle of inclination of a pachinko machine is the board surface of the pachinko machine or the glass surface parallel to and facing the board surface, the inclination of the pachinko machine can be determined by measuring the angle of inclination of this board surface or the glass surface. can be set.
In addition, the tilt value of the board surface or the glass surface of the pachinko machine, that is, the data of the tilt value of the pachinko machine, is converted into a signal, which is used for a computer dedicated to tilt management, a management computer for pachinko ball output, other information equipment, or a pachinko machine. By controlling the inclination of the pachinko machine by outputting it to the table inclination adjustment controller, etc., if the pachinko machine deviates from the predetermined inclination, it is possible to quickly correct it. can run a business.

As instruments for measuring the inclination of a pachinko machine, a pachinko machine inclination measuring instrument (Patent Document 1) and an inclinometer (2) are known.
In the tilt measuring device of Patent Document 1, a plurality of vials for measuring the horizontal are housed in a long housing at intervals according to the set tilt of the pachinko machine, and the vial tubes corresponding to the set tilt of the pachinko machine are measured. Based on the tilt value, the tilt of the pachinko machine can be confirmed.

Design registration 1269307 JP 2006-46969

In Patent Document 1, the tilt angle of the tilt measuring instrument is displayed analogously with a vial so that the tilt to which the vial belongs can be confirmed in units of the scale standard commonly used in the industry. For example, in order to manage the tilt of the pachinko table described above based on the tilt value of this tilt measuring device, the read tilt value must be re-entered or the input data must be converted to digital data. On the other hand, since it is necessary to identify each pachinko machine in order to manage the inclination of many pachinko machines in all pachinko parlors, it cannot be used in a system for managing these inclinations.

Further, Patent Document 2 discloses that the inclination angle is measured by contacting the projection of the inclinometer to the game board surface, and the inclination angle is measured with an accuracy of 1°/100 and the inclination angle is digitally displayed. On the other hand, when the inclinometer is held by hand and measured, the displayed value fluctuates depending on the degree of contact between the projection and the game board surface, so an accurate tilt value cannot be captured.
In addition, as a countermeasure to the above, holding means such as supporting the inclinometer with a tripod or hanging it has been proposed. is an obstacle to measurement, making it difficult to use in physical stores.
On the other hand, the tilt value of the pachinko table is conventionally displayed in the Shakanho method, and in view of the fact that the tilt value is displayed in a range of 5 rins so that it is easy to check or set the tilt, the above digital The display is unfamiliar, and the display is too fine, complicating confirmation and management of the inclination, and is not suitable for actual operation.

In order to solve the above-described problems, a pachinko machine tilt management system of the present invention is a pachinko machine tilt management system for managing the tilt of a pachinko machine, comprising: a tilt measuring device for measuring and detecting the tilt of the pachinko machine; and an information device that displays the tilt value of each pachinko machine. a conversion circuit that converts into units based on , a display unit that displays the detection data of the tilt angle sensor in units based on the scale rule by the conversion circuit, and a pachinko machine machine number to the converted data of the conversion circuit a machine number input means to be attached, a transmission circuit for transmitting a signal of the conversion data to which the machine number of the pachinko machine is linked by the machine number input means, a power supply and a power supply circuit for these, each data and It comprises a control circuit board for controlling or holding each signal, and the information equipment to which the signal of the transmission circuit is connected by a LAN system, and the tilt data of the pachinko machine detected by the tilt measuring device is measured according to the shakukan method. It is converted to the unit based on the unit number, and the unit number is linked and displayed on the information device.

Acquisition of pachinko machine machine number information and linking to the measured value of the inclination angle can be performed with a single inclination measuring instrument, and this acquired data signal is displayed on an information device or an inclination adjustment controller via a LAN system. Therefore, the management and operation of the tilt information of hundreds of pachinko machines can be done by using the tilt measuring device itself, the tilt control computer, the control computer for the balls, etc. in the store, or the portable information device. can be done efficiently.

In addition, since a gyro sensor is used as the tilt detection means, the tilt angle of the pachinko machine can be measured with high accuracy, and the measurement sensitivity is high, so the measurement can be performed in a short time. It is suitable for measurement means when managing the inclination of

When managing pachinko machine tilt data, it is necessary to link the machine number of the pachinko machine to the measured tilt data.

The present invention relates to an inclination management system for pachinko machines, and will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. FIG.

Pachinko machines are installed at an angle where the upper part is tilted backwards, but this angle of inclination is stipulated by the relevant laws and regulations to be within 1°, and the indication of this inclination is indicated in units based on the shakukanjo, which is commonly used in the industry. It is
The inclination is displayed by displaying the horizontal distance between the vertical line based on the lower point of the inclined pachinko table and the upper point located behind the vertical line in units of the shakukanjo. there is
2 and 3, the horizontal distance D between a vertical line B rising from the lower point 1a of the pachinko machine and a vertical line C rising from the upper point 1b of the pachinko machine is and, for example, when the horizontal distance D is set to 3/5 (10.605 mm), the pachinko machine 1 is installed at an inclination of 3/5.
In order to actually set this inclination in mounting the pachinko machine 1, the inclination of the glass surface 19a is measured and the inclination is set. Based on the fact that the height of the pachinko machine 1 is 810 mm, the inclination of 5 centimeters is 0.74 degrees. 1 is attached at an inclination of 3/5.
Therefore, in managing the inclination of the pachinko table 1, it is not practical to use anything other than an inclination angle sensor that can measure with an accuracy of 1/100 degree class. Even if it can be done instantaneously, the contact pressure of the tilt measuring device and the slight movement of the pachinko island or the pachinko table itself can cause the measured values to shift, making it difficult to confirm the correct tilt. It is not realistic to manage the inclination of the pachinko machine with a complicated inclination angle that is different from usual.

Next, the pachinko machine 1 and its mounting state will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. It is installed in the section 6, and installed on the pachinko island 2 for each arbitrary number.
In mounting the pachinko machine 1, first, a frame-shaped underframe 7 is mounted in the installation section 6, and the pachinko machine 1 is mounted on the underframe 7. As shown in FIG.
The pachinko machine 1 is attached to an underframe 7 so as to be openable and closable to the front side with the upper and lower pivots 8 on the left side as fulcrums, and is used for games in a closed and locked state on the front side of the underframe 7. - 特許庁
2 and 3 show a longitudinal section of the pachinko island 2 on which the pachinko machine 1 is installed. It is attached to the lower plate 4 of the pachinko island 2, while the upper rail 10 is attached to the upper plate 3 by an upper attachment device 11. - 特許庁

When the bolt 14 is turned, the upper part of the underframe 7 moves back and forth about the fixing point of the lower rail 8, and the inclination of the underframe 7 is adjusted. The inclination of the mounted pachinko machine 1 can be adjusted in the same manner as described above.

On the other hand, when measuring the inclination of the pachinko machine 1, as is clear from the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, nails and other accessories interfere with the measurement, and the right side of the board surface 16 is formed with a liquid crystal screen, etc. Since these obstruct the measurement in many cases, the inclination of the glass surface 18a is actually measured and the inclination of the pachinko table 1 is determined by measuring the inclination of the glass surface 18a.
In addition, if the pachinko machine 1 is twisted with different inclinations on the left and right sides in the above-mentioned installation, the movement of the pachinko balls flowing down to the board surface 16 will change, which will affect the winning probability of the pachinko balls, the staying time, etc. Therefore, the tilt is measured at the left and right portions of the glass surface 18a, and the tilt is confirmed or corrected based on the left and right measurement results.
