BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a game ball launching force control device for a pachinko machine that continuously and electrically fires game balls.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Pachinko is a type of game, and a machine used for the game is called a pachinko machine. Pachinko machines are 81-82 height
cm, about 52-53.5 cm in width, and has a vertical box shape, and the front face is glass. The basic mechanism is that about 350 to 380 nails are arranged on the entire board, several obstacles called windmills and several safe holes (checkers) are provided, and a screw-threaded handle provided at the bottom of the table The ball made of chrome steel pops out, and when the ball enters the safe hole, 10 or 13 or the number of balls determined by the model will come out, and the ball that went out without entering the safe hole is It flows to the back of the table. On the back side of the table, there are a device to supply balls and a device to return out balls. The ball is 11 mm in diameter and weighs 5.5 g. The pachinko parlors that set up this pachinko parlor operate under the laws and regulations of the Customs Sales Business, but operate several tens of pachinko parlors and some hundreds of pachinko parlors to pay customers a fixed fee. Loaned, customers can exchange the obtained balls for prizes. It has the gambling characteristics of gambling, but occupies a large part of popular games because it can be enjoyed easily.

[0003] The original form of pachinko is said to be a Corinthian game that was carried around on bicycles by peddlers selling candy and sweets to children in the early Showa period, or left in a candy store. It first appeared as a popular game after the opening of a pachinko parlor using vertical pachinko machines in Nagoya after World War II. Meanwhile, pachinko parlors have begun to show signs of spreading in large cities such as Tokyo and Osaka.
From 946 to 1950, a model called "All 20" appeared, in which 20 balls appeared in any safe hole, causing a pachinko boom. Speaking of pachinko machines up to that point, the mainstream was to put balls one by one and hit them with a manual handle,
With the increase in the pachinko population, there have been a number of pachinko parlors nationwide, including the “continuous firing” type, which continuously shoots balls, and the “electric” type, which automatically uses a motor to launch balls. The number of manufacturers has reached 600. Also, from around 1970, a sparrow ball combining Mahjong elements appeared, and a computer was introduced.
Starting with automated replenishment of balls to pachinko machines, some stores have come up with rationalization of management, such as grasping the ball-out status of each machine and counting management. Furthermore, around 1980, the form of pachinko machines became diversified, and a model called "digital pachinko" with strong gambling appeared. This digital pachinko machine incorporates a slot machine style drum and a digital display number display function as a typical one, and a ball in a specific safe hole, for example, three numbers of 7 (all seven) When you put it out, it is like a ball coming in for a certain period of time. The pachinko fever, which had temporarily declined due to this digital pachinko, reignited. Currently, the number of pachinko parlors is one.
There are over ten thousand stores, and the number is more than two million. In this way, when the motorization and electronic control of pachinko machines are promoted,
Malfunctions caused by load fluctuations associated with electronic control of pachinko machines are a major problem. This is because pachinko games are a kind of gambling and games with high gambling, so operations that violate public order and morals are strictly regulated by law. Business. In particular, the firing speed of game balls of pachinko machines is strictly regulated, and the number of balls that can be fired per minute by an electric ball launcher must be 99 or less.

In response to such demands of the authorities, the pachinko machine industry has conventionally used a synchronous motor (synchronous motor) for the game ball launching actuator of the game ball launching force control device of the pachinko machine. A device that suppresses the number of rotations of the motor by frequency is manufactured and supplied to the pachinko machine. In this device, when the ejection lever is operated while touching the touch sensor on the handle of the operation panel attached to the front of the pachinko machine, the micro switch that works with the ejection lever is turned on, and the synchronous motor is driven and controlled. Turn on the power to the frequency conversion output circuit such as cycloconverter and inverter. By this operation,
Frequency conversion output circuit is 60Hz2 for synchronous motor
Supply an AC voltage of 4 volts. At this time, the synchronous motor uses a 60 Hz / 33 rpm motor.
A rotating body in which pushing pieces are projected radially at intervals of about 120 degrees is attached to the rotating shaft, and the pushing piece of the rotating body hits the ball hitting the game ball three times during one rotation of the motor. Therefore, if the motor rotates 33 times per minute, the number of balls hit by the hammer will be hit at 99 shots per minute, but the actual setting is lower than 99 shots. This is because the pachinko machine operates the launch lever while the player touches the touch touch sensor on the handle when operating, and the frequency conversion output circuit operates only for the first time. The frequency of the voltage output from the frequency conversion output circuit may change due to a difference in the body load (capacitance generated in the body) of the touching player or a difference in the touching state. When such a phenomenon occurs, the number of revolutions of the synchronous motor fluctuates and an illegal number of balls may be hit. Therefore, in general, a variable resistor for finely adjusting the frequency is provided in the frequency conversion output circuit, and a slightly lower frequency is set in anticipation of the variation.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, when the load of the player who touches the touch sensor hardly fluctuates, only a smaller number of balls are hit than a specified number, and the gambling for the player is impaired. There has been such a problem that interest in pachinko has been weakened and popularity has been reduced, the rate of replacement of players has become worse, and the management of pachinko parlors has been greatly affected. Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and eliminates an operation error caused by a difference in a player's operation method and body shape and constitution, and in any state, Also 99 per minute
It is an object of the present invention to provide a game ball launching force adjusting device for a pachinko machine capable of accurately launching a game ball at the firing speed of the shot.

[0006]
