Description

The technology disclosed herein relates to a crane game machine.

Patent document 1 describes a crane game machine equipped with a moving means for returning prizes to their original positions before the start of the next game.

JP 2019-187570 A

In the technology described in Patent Document 1, the prize is attached to a winding wheel by a string, and the prize is returned to its original position by winding up the string.

The technology described in Patent Document 1 requires the work of tying the prize to the winding wheel with a string, which is a burden of work. Moreover, the technology described in Patent Document 1 is premised on the game being played over a communication network such as the Internet, and does not assume that players will be able to take the prizes directly out of the crane game machine. However, because the prizes are tied to the winding wheel with a string, players cannot take the prizes out of the crane game machine.

The technology disclosed herein aims to reduce the workload of moving prizes to a designated position on a platform in a crane game machine.

The first aspect of the technology disclosed herein is a crane game machine having a platform with a surface on which prizes are placed, a movement mechanism that moves along the surface when operated and presses the prizes to move them along the surface, and a crane device that can suspend the prizes placed on the surface and release them above the outlet.

In the first embodiment of the crane game machine, the movement mechanism moves along the placement surface when operated. The movement mechanism pushes the prize to move it on the placement surface. Since there is no need to tie a string or the like to the prize, the workload is smaller than in a configuration in which a string or the like is tied to the prize.

In addition, since the prize is not tied to a string or the like, when the prize is transported to the outlet by the crane device and released from the suspension above the outlet, the player can take the prize out of the crane game machine.

In the second aspect, in the first aspect, the moving mechanism has a pair of moving members that can move toward and away from each other on the placement surface.

By bringing the pair of moving mechanisms closer together, it is possible to reliably move the prize to a specified position. By moving the pair of moving mechanisms away from each other, a standby state can be adopted for the next prize to be moved.

In the third embodiment, the mounting surface in the second embodiment is rectangular, and the moving member moves along a diagonal of the mounting surface.

The rectangular shape of the placement surface makes it easy to add prizes to the prize placement space that is originally provided in the crane game machine. Note that in this disclosure, a rectangular shape also includes a square shape.

The movable member moves along the diagonal of the mounting surface, so the moving distance of the movable member can be secured to be longer compared to a configuration in which the movable member moves non-diagonally.

In a fourth aspect, in the third aspect, the moving member has a support that extends upward above the mounting surface and is movable on the mounting surface, and an arm member that extends laterally from the support along the mounting surface.

The moving member can be constructed with a simple structure that has a support and an arm member.

The arm member extends laterally along the placement surface, allowing the prize to be pressed over a wide range in the horizontal direction.

The support pole extends above the placement surface, and multiple arm members can be attached in the vertical direction. By using a structure with multiple arm members in the vertical direction, the prizes can be pressed over a wide range in the vertical direction.

In the fifth aspect, the arm member of one of the moving members and the arm member of the other of the moving members are at different heights from the placement surface in the fourth aspect.

The arm members for each moving member are at different heights, so when the moving members come close to each other, interference between the arm members can be avoided.

The technology disclosed herein can reduce the workload of moving prizes to a designated position on a platform in a crane game machine.

The crane game machine 12 according to the first embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. This crane game machine 12 can be operated by a player at the site where the crane game machine 12 is installed, and can also be remotely operated from a remote location via an information and communication line.

The crane game machine 12 has a housing 14. A prize table 16 is provided inside the housing 14. A prize outlet 18 is provided in a part of the prize table 16. Prizes GF (see FIG. 2) can be placed on the prize table 16 in areas other than the outlet 18.

A crane device 22 is provided above the prize table 16. An operation panel 24 is provided on the front side of the housing 14. As shown in FIG. 3, the operation panel 24 includes a replacement button 26A and a crane operation button 26B.

When a player plays at the site where the crane game machine 12 is installed, the player operates the crane device 22 via the operation panel 24. The crane device 22 is capable of suspending a prize GF. When the crane device 22 moves to above the discharge opening 18, it releases the suspension of the prize GF. Therefore, when the crane device 22 has successfully suspended the prize GF, the prize GF falls into the discharge opening 18 when the suspension is released.

A take-out port 20 is provided on the front of the housing 14. The player can take out the prize GF that has fallen into the discharge port 18 from the take-out port 20.

A prize moving device 30 according to the disclosed technology can be installed on the prize table 16 in an area where no discharge outlet 18 is provided.

As shown in Figures 2 and 4, the prize moving device 30 has a mounting base 32. When viewed from above, the mounting base 32 is formed in the shape of a rectangular thin plate, and has a hollow structure inside.

The upper surface of the mounting platform 32 is the mounting surface 34. A prize GF can be placed on the mounting surface 34. In the crane game machine 12, a prize GF located in the center of the mounting surface 34 (see Figures 2(B) and 2(C)) can be suspended by the crane device 22. In contrast, a prize GF located on the periphery of the mounting surface 34 (see Figure 2(A)) is difficult to suspend by the crane device 22.

As shown in FIG. 4, a slit 36 is formed along a diagonal line on the mounting surface 34. The mounting table 32 is provided with a moving mechanism 28. The moving mechanism 28 has a base 38 and a rail 40. The base 38 is a long, plate-shaped member, and is fixed in a direction along the slit 36. The rail 40 is disposed above the base 38 in a direction along the slit 36.

Furthermore, the moving mechanism 28 has a pair of moving plates 42, a pair of motors 44, a pair of lead screws 46, a pair of outer position sensors 48S, and a pair of inner position sensors 48N. These moving plates 42, motors 44, lead screws 46, outer position sensors 48S, and inner position sensors 48N are arranged approximately symmetrically with respect to the center of the base 38 in the longitudinal direction.

The motor 44 is fixed to the base 38 at a position on the center side of the longitudinal direction of the base 38. The lead screw 46 is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 44 so as to be able to transmit a rotational force, and is rotated in the circumferential direction (arrow R1 direction, see FIG. 5) by the drive of the motor 44. The lead screw 46 may be connected to the rotating shaft so as to transmit the rotational force of the motor 44 in this manner, and may be directly connected or connected via a gear or cam. A fixed bracket 50 is fixed to a position near the center and a position on the end side of the longitudinal direction of the base 38. The lead screw 46 is supported by the fixed bracket 50 so as to be rotatable in the circumferential direction and immovable in the axial direction (longitudinal direction). A male thread is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the lead screw 46. The fixed bracket 50 also holds the rail 40 at a constant height position relative to the base 38.

The movable plate 42 is an example of a movable member in the technology of the present disclosure. The movable plate 42 is attached to the rail 40 and is movable along the rail 40. A movable bracket 52 extends from the movable plate 42. In this embodiment, one movable bracket 52 has an inner plate portion 52N located toward the center in the longitudinal direction of the base 38 and an outer plate portion 52S located toward the outside. The movable member in the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to a member formed in a plate shape like the movable plate 42, and may be, for example, a member formed in a block shape.

A female screw member 54 having a female screw formed on its inner circumferential surface is fixed to the inner plate portion 52N and the outer plate portion 52S of the movable bracket 52. The female screw member 54 has a female screw formed on its inner circumferential surface that meshes with a male screw formed on the outer periphery of the lead screw 46.

When the lead screw 46 rotates in the circumferential direction (the direction of the arrow R1), the movable bracket 52 and the movable plate 42 slide along the longitudinal direction of the rail 40, approaching and separating from each other. This sliding causes the pair of movable plates 42 to take a spaced position (separated position PA shown in Figures 2(A) and 2(C)) and a close position (close position PB shown in Figure 2(B)) in the longitudinal direction of the slit 36. For example, when the motor 44 rotates forward, the movable plate 42 moves from the separated position PA toward the close position PB. In contrast, when the motor 44 rotates reversely, the movable plate 42 moves from the close position PB toward the separated position PA.

The outer position sensor 48S and the inner position sensor 48N are capable of detecting the approaching state of the inner plate portion 52N. The outer position sensor 48S is provided at the separated position PA of the moving plate 42, and the inner position sensor 48N is provided at the approaching position PB of the moving plate 42. Therefore, the outer position sensor 48S detects that the moving plate 42 is at the separated position PA. The inner position sensor 48N detects that the moving plate 42 is at the approaching position PB.

A support post 56 is fixed to each of the movable plates 42. The support posts 56 extend upward above the mounting surface 34. When the movable plates 42 slide along the rails 40, the movable plates 42 also move along the longitudinal direction of the slits 36. In the illustrated example, the slits 36 are formed along the diagonal of the mounting surface 34, so the movable plates 42 also move along the diagonal of the mounting surface 34.

An arm member 58 is fixed to each of the support columns 56. In the technology disclosed herein, the arm member 58 includes a first arm 58A and a second arm 58B. The first arm 58A and the second arm 58B extend from the support column 56 at an angle of 90 degrees in a plan view of the mounting surface 34. Specifically, the first arm 58A extends along the right side 34R or the left side 34L of the mounting surface 34, and the second arm 58B extends along the rear side 34B or the front side 34F of the mounting surface 34. In the illustrated example, there are two first arms 58A and two second arms 58B per support column 56, but there may be one or three or more arms.

In a plan view of the mounting surface 34, i.e., viewed from above, as shown in Figs. 2(A) and 2(C), when the moving plate 42 is in the separated position PA, the first arm 58A and the second arm 58B do not overlap. However, when the moving plate 42 has moved to the approach position PB as shown in Fig. 2(B), the first arm 58A and the second arm 58B overlap when viewed from above. In this embodiment, the first arm 58A and the second arm 58B are fixed to the support pillars 56 at different height positions from the mounting surface 34. Therefore, even when the moving plate 42 is in the approach position PB, the first arm 58A and the second arm 58B do not come into contact with each other.

Figure 6 shows the internal configuration of the computer 72 that controls the crane game machine 12 in the technology disclosed herein.

The computer 72 has a processor 74, a memory 76, a storage 78, and a communication unit 80. Furthermore, the computer 72 receives input information for operations from the operation panel 24, and controls the crane device 22 and the prize moving device 30.

Storage 78 stores a control program 70 for causing computer 72 to function as a control device. This control program 70 is deployed on memory 76 and then executed by processor 74, causing computer 72 to function as a control device.

In the technology disclosed in this application, the control program 70 includes a program that performs a repositioning operation to move the prize GF to the center on the placement surface 34 in addition to the general operations of a crane game.

This repositioning operation is an operation in which the prize GF placed on the placement surface 34 is pressed by the first arm 58A and the second arm 58B, and moved to the center of the placement surface 34. As described above, in the crane game machine 12, it is difficult for the crane device 22 to suspend a prize GF located on the periphery of the placement surface 34. If the prize GF is located on the periphery of the placement surface 34 and the player determines that it is difficult for the crane device 22 to suspend the prize GF, an operation to execute a repositioning operation can be performed.

The computer 72 controls the crane game machine 12 according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 7. Specifically, in step S102, the computer 72 determines whether or not a coin has been inserted into the crane game machine 12. If this determination is negative, the computer 72 continues this determination in step S102.

If the determination in step S102 is positive, the process proceeds to step S104. In step S104, the computer 72 causes the repositioning button 26A (see FIG. 3) to blink for a preset period of time. Then, in step S106, the computer 72 determines whether the repositioning button 26A has been pressed. If the determination in step S106 is negative, the process proceeds to step S108. In step S108, the computer 72 determines whether the preset blinking period of the repositioning button 26A has ended. If this determination is negative, the process returns to step S106. If this determination is positive, the process proceeds to step S110. In step S110, the computer 72 executes game processing. That is, in response to the operation of the crane operation button 26B, the crane device 22 is operated to grasp the prize, move the outlet 18 upward, and release the grasp.

On the other hand, if the determination in step S106 is positive, the process proceeds to step S112. In step S112, the computer 72 executes the replacement operation shown in FIG. 8.

In the repositioning operation, in step S114, the computer 72 rotates the motor 44 in the forward direction. This causes the movable plate 42 to move toward the center of the rail 40, as shown in FIG. 2(B). As the movable plate 42 moves, the support 56 also moves toward the center of the placement surface 34. The first arm 58A and the second arm 58B also move toward the center of the placement surface 34 together with the support 56. The prize GF that was placed on the placement surface 34 is pressed by the first arm 58A and the second arm 58B, and moves to the center of the placement surface 34. In other words, the prize GF moves to a position where it can be suspended by the crane device 22.

Next, in step S116, the computer 72 determines whether the inner position sensor 48N has detected the moving plate 42. If the determination is negative, the process returns to step S114, and the motor 44 continues to rotate in the forward direction. If the determination is positive, in step S118, the computer 72 rotates the motor 44 in the reverse direction. As a result, the moving plate 42 moves toward both ends of the rail 40, and the support 56, the first arm 58A, and the second arm 58B also move toward both ends of the slit 36.

Next, in step S120, the computer 72 determines whether the outer position sensor 48S has detected the moving plate 42. If the determination is negative, the process returns to step S118, and the motor 44 continues to rotate in the reverse direction. If the determination is positive, the moving plate 42 is in the separated position PA, and therefore, in step S122, the computer 72 stops the motor 44. Then, the process returns to step S110 (see FIG. 7).

As can be seen from the above explanation, in the crane game machine 12 of this embodiment, when the prize GF is in a position where it is difficult to suspend it with the crane device 22, a reset operation is performed to reset the prize GF to a position where it is relatively easy to suspend it with the crane device 22. Therefore, even in a situation where the player would normally be forced to give up continuing the game, such as when the prize GF is in a position where it is difficult to suspend it with the crane device 22, it is possible to reset the prize GF by the reset operation, thereby enabling the player to maintain their motivation to continue playing the game.

In conventional crane game machines, the replacement of prize GF has been performed by, for example, a store clerk at the store where the crane game machine 12 is installed. In this case, however, the replacement work is a workload for the store clerk. In contrast, in the crane game machine 12 of this embodiment, it is possible to replace the prize GF by the player's operation, without relying on the store clerk to perform the replacement work. In the crane game machine 12 of this embodiment, the workload of the work of replacing the prize GF, i.e., the work of moving the prize GF, is reduced.

Next, the second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, the same elements, members, etc. as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment, and detailed descriptions are omitted. In addition, the overall structure of the crane game machine is the same as that of the crane game machine 12 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and therefore is not illustrated.

As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the prize moving device 110 of the crane game machine of the second embodiment has a wire 112 and a spring 114 instead of the lead screw 46 and fixed bracket 50 in the prize moving device 30 of the first embodiment.

In the illustrated example of the second embodiment, only one motor 44 and one winding roll 116 are provided in the longitudinal center of the base 38. In contrast, the wire 112 and the spring 114 are provided on both sides of the longitudinal direction of the base 38. And, one motor 44 is shared by two wires 112.

The spring 114 is attached between the fixed bracket 50 and the movable bracket 52 (the outer plate portion 52S in the illustrated example) and biases the movable plate 42 toward the separated position PA.

A winding roll 116 is attached to the rotating shaft of the motor 44. One end of the wire 112 is attached to the moving bracket 52, and the other end of the wire 112 is wound around the winding roll 116.

In the crane game machine of the second embodiment configured in this way, the wire 112 can be wound up at the other end by rotating the motor 44 in the forward direction. This allows the two moving plates 42 to move from the separated position PA toward the close position PB against the spring force of the spring 114. The wire 112 can be relaxed by rotating the motor 44 in the reverse direction. Then, the spring force of the spring 114 allows the two moving plates 42 to move from the close position PB toward the separated position PA.

Next, a third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, the same elements, members, etc. as in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment, and detailed descriptions will be omitted. In addition, the overall structure of the crane game machine is the same as in the first embodiment shown in Figure 1, so illustrations will be omitted.

As shown in Figures 11 and 12, the prize moving device 120 of the crane game machine of the third embodiment has a gear mechanism 122, pulley 124, roller 126, and wire 128 instead of the lead screw 46, fixed bracket 50, and moving bracket 52 of the prize moving device 30 of the first embodiment. In the third embodiment, one motor 44 is provided in the center of the base 38 in the longitudinal direction. In contrast, the pulley 124, roller 126, and wire 128 are provided on both sides of the base 38 in the longitudinal direction.

One end of each wire 128 is fixed to the inner plate portion 52N of the movable bracket 52, and the other end is fixed to the outer plate portion 52S of the movable bracket. The middle portion of the wire 128 is wound around multiple pulleys 124.

A rotational force is transmitted from the motor 44 to one of the multiple pulleys 124 via the gear mechanism 122. Then, as the motor 44 rotates in the forward direction, the pulley 124 rotates, and the moving plate 42 moves from the separated position PA to the approach position PB via the wire 128. As the motor 44 rotates in the reverse direction, the pulley 124 rotates, and the moving plate 42 moves from the approach position PB to the separated position PA.

The gear mechanism 122 has a reversing gear 122R. When the motor 44 rotates in one direction, the movement directions of one wire 128 and the other wire 128 are opposite. This allows the two moving plates 42 to approach and move away from each other in sync.

The roller 126 contacts a portion of the wire 128 and applies tension to the wire 128. This tension prevents the wire 128 from slipping against the pulley 124, ensuring that the wire 128 moves reliably due to the rotational force of the motor 44.

In the crane game machine of the third embodiment configured in this way, the wire 128 can be moved by rotating the motor 44 in the forward direction, and the two moving plates 42 can be moved from the separated position PA toward the close position PB. Also, by rotating the motor 44 in the reverse direction, the wire 112 can be moved in the opposite direction to the above, and the two moving plates 42 can be moved from the close position PB toward the separated position PA.

Next, the fourth embodiment will be described. In the fourth embodiment, the same elements, members, etc. as in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment, and detailed descriptions will be omitted. In addition, the overall structure of the crane game machine 12 is the same as in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, so illustrations will be omitted.

As shown in Figures 13 to 15, the prize moving device 130 of the crane game machine of the fourth embodiment has a gear mechanism 132, a rotary arm 134, and a swing arm 136 instead of the lead screw 46, fixed bracket 50, and moving bracket 52 of the crane game machine 12 of the first embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, the motor 44, gear mechanism 132, and rotary arm 134 are each provided in the center of the base 38 in the longitudinal direction.

As shown in Figures 14 and 15, the gear mechanism 132 transmits the rotational force of the motor 44 to the rotary arm 134. The rotary arm 134 rotates around its longitudinal center. One end of a swing arm 136 is rotatably connected to each end of the rotary arm 134. The other end of each swing arm 136 is connected to the inner plate portion 52N of the movable bracket 52.

In the crane game machine of the fourth embodiment configured as described above, the motor 44 is rotated in the forward direction to rotate the rotary arm 134, and the moving plate 42 connected via the swing arm 136 can be moved from the separated position PA to the approach position PB. Also, the motor 44 is rotated in the reverse direction to move the moving plate 42 from the approach position PB to the separated position PA.

The predetermined position to which the prize GF is moved by the prize moving device is not limited to the center of the placement surface 34. For example, depending on the size of the crane game machine and the structure of the crane device 22, a position on the placement surface 34 that is biased toward the edge rather than the center may be more advantageous for hanging the prize GF. In this case, the predetermined position to which the prize GF is moved by the prize moving device may be a position on the placement surface 34 that is biased toward the edge rather than the center.

In addition, in each of the above embodiments, as an example of a pair of moving members, a pair of moving plates 42 is structured to move toward and away from each other. By bringing the pair of moving plates 42 closer to each other, a structure can be realized that makes it easy to move the prize GF to the center of the placement surface 34. However, the moving members do not have to be a pair, and for example, a configuration in which a single moving member presses the prize GF in only one direction to move it may be used. Furthermore, a configuration having three or more moving members may be used.

In a configuration having multiple moving members, the amount of movement of the moving members can be set according to, for example, the size of the prize GF or the size of the placement surface 34. In the above embodiment, the approach position PB of the moving plate 42 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the inner position sensor 48N.

In the technology disclosed herein, the mounting surface 34 is rectangular. The mounting platform 32 is also a flat box shape that is rectangular in plan view, so that the mounting platform 32 can be easily mounted on existing crane game machines.

In addition, the size and shape of the platform 32 can be easily adjusted to match the size of existing crane game machines.

The specific configuration of the moving mechanism 28 is not limited to the above. For example, instead of rod-shaped arm members such as the first arm 58A and the second arm 58B, a plate-shaped member may be used to press the prize GF. By using multiple rod-shaped arm members such as the first arm 58A and the second arm 58B spaced apart vertically, the prize GF can be pressed over a wide range in the vertical direction. It is also possible to achieve a lighter weight compared to a plate-shaped pressing member.

In addition, the first arm 58A and the second arm 58B extend laterally from the support 56, making it possible to press the prize GF over a range that is wide in the laterally direction.

The first arm 58A and the second arm 58B are at different heights in the vertical direction. Therefore, even when the moving plate 42 moves from the separated position PA to the approach position PB, interference between the first arm 58A and the second arm 58B can be avoided.

In the first and second embodiments, the moving mechanism 28 can be made smaller. For example, a structure can be realized in which the moving mechanism 28 does not become excessively large in the width direction (the direction of the arrow W1 shown in FIG. 4) perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the base 38.

In particular, in the first embodiment, the lead screw 46 is rotated directly by the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 44, making it easy to adjust the amount of movement of the moving plate 42.

In the third embodiment, the movement mechanism 28 can be constructed light and simply by using a pulley 124, a roller 126, and a wire 128.

In the fourth embodiment, the rotary arm 134 and the swing arm 136 are rotated by forward and reverse rotation of the motor 44, thereby enabling the moving plate 42 to be moved reliably.

As described above, in any embodiment of the crane game machine according to the technology disclosed herein, the workload of moving the prize GF to a predetermined position on the platform 32 can be reduced.

In the technology disclosed herein, the prize GF is moved on the placement surface 34 by pressing it. This eliminates the need to tie a string or the like to the prize GF, as is the case with configurations in which a string or the like is tied to the prize GF and pulled to a predetermined position, thereby reducing the workload. In addition, since the technology disclosed herein does not tie a string or the like to the prize GF, there is no need to remove the string or the like from the prize GF when removing the prize GF from the removal opening 20, making it easy to remove the prize GF.
