[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a pachinko machine in which a pachinko ball launching means and a control circuit of the launching means are integrally provided and a control device controls the control circuit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a pachinko machine is driven and controlled by a mechanism that operates based on the weight of a pachinko ball and a drive circuit that operates based on an electric signal.

The former / mechanical unit is typically a payout ball payout mechanism that operates by winning a pachinko ball, and a well-known mechanism based on the principle of leverage is used. The latter / driving circuit unit specifies a pachinko game. Is electrically detected, and each part of the pachinko machine is controlled by an electric signal based on the detected signal.

In recent pachinko machines, a type in which a microprocessor is provided in a drive circuit unit and the operation of a mechanical unit is controlled by the microprocessor tends to occupy the mainstream. In general, the drive circuit section mainly has a touch circuit for determining whether the pachinko machine is playing a game and a drive circuit for enabling the pachinko machine to play.

[0005] This touch circuit is configured to be electrically conductive to the operation handle, and determines whether or not the player is operating the operation handle based on a change in capacitance as is well known. Is available.

The touch circuit determines that the game is being played and enables the drive circuit only when the player is operating the operation handle, and when the player is not operating the operation handle, It is determined that the game is not being played, and the drive circuit is disabled.

[0007] The touch circuit constituting the drive circuit section and the electronic components constituting the drive circuit are formed by being mounted on a substrate for the drive circuit section.

[0008] All pachinko machines installed in the amusement arcade are connected to a management device for managing them by signal lines so that they can communicate with each other.

[0009] The management device determines whether or not the pachinko machine is in operation, as well as the winning number of pachinko balls hit by the hitting unit, in other words, the number of prize balls, and the difference between the number of out balls and the number of payouts of prize balls. Is counting.

When the difference ball reaches a predetermined number of completions, the management device inputs a signal corresponding to that effect from the outside to the drive circuit as a control signal, thereby causing the drive circuit to play the game. The pachinko game is completed by disabling the operation, and in the case of the game possible state, a signal corresponding to that effect is input from the outside to the drive circuit unit as a control signal to restart the pachinko game ( See JP-B-55-19582, columns 2 to 4, and the drawings, and JP-B-60-1027, columns 1 to 5, and the drawings. The above-mentioned signal line connects not only between the management device and the pachinko machine but also each component of the above-mentioned drive circuit unit, and the dimensions of the signal line are determined from the viewpoint of the pachinko machine manufacturing operation and maintenance operation. Therefore, it is desirable to be as short as possible.

[0011]

However, the structural members of the pachinko machine are very densely arranged with both the above-described mechanism and the drive circuit unit, and are also limited by the installation space limitation of the back surface of the pachinko machine. It is difficult to arrange the units of each configuration at the same site.

In particular, when the drive circuit section is divided into a plurality of sections, the divided drive circuit sections must be connected to each other by a signal line. Therefore, the drive circuit section is provided on the back side of the pachinko machine main body. As the number of signal lines increases, it is difficult to eliminate the exposed signal lines.

On the back side of the pachinko machine, the components of the mechanical section are arranged in an intricate manner. During maintenance, the pachinko machine is opened and closed while rotating the other side around one side of the pachinko machine body. In order to implement this, an extra dimension must be provided for the opening / closing operation on the signal line with the outside of the pachinko machine main body, that is, the signal line for the management device.

Therefore, during maintenance work, a jig, clothes, and the like are easily hooked on the signal line, which causes a problem that the signal line is damaged or broken in some cases. The longer the signal line is, the more easily the signal line is tampered with and the more difficult it is to detect the illegality.

Therefore, the present invention facilitates the mounting and maintenance work of the above-mentioned board, and makes the signal lines exposed on the pachinko machine body as short as possible in order to make unauthorized modification of the signal lines difficult. The purpose is to provide.
