[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko launching apparatus, and more particularly to a new pachinko launching apparatus for shortening the energizing time of an actuator when rotating a hammer against an elastic body and reducing power consumption of the apparatus itself. About improvement.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a pachinko launching apparatus of this kind, for example, in the configuration disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-15917, generally, 10
The ball hitting speed was determined to be 0 shots / min or less, and the start of energization to the actuator was evenly started at less than 100 times / min. Accordingly, in the conventional configuration, as shown in FIG. 2, the off-timing after the actuator is turned on is set to a time including a margin beyond the normal play and the spring MAX.

[0003]

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The conventional pachinko launching apparatus has the following problems because it is configured as described above. That is, as shown in FIG.
Since the actuator is turned on including the portion of the spring MAX and the allowance as compared with the section of the normal play, this (spring MAX + allowance) −normal play = normal dead time t ₀ . This energization dead time t ₀ is extremely wasteful in the whole pachinko hall, and it is extremely difficult to reduce the actual power consumption, which is equivalent to the power consumption of a normal factory in the entire pachinko hall.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. In particular, when the hammer is rotated against a spring, the energizing time of the actuator is shortened, and the power consumption of the device itself is reduced. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko launching device capable of reducing the number of slingshots.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a pachinko launching apparatus in which a hammer urged by an elastic body is rotated to a first rotation position by an actuator against the elastic body, and In a pachinko launching apparatus in which the hammer is rotated to a second rotation position using a restoring force to hit a pachinko ball, a sensor for detecting the first rotation position and a sensor connected to the sensor for the actuator. A control unit for controlling the operation, wherein the operation of the actuator is turned off via the control unit by an off-timing position signal from the sensor.

[0006] More specifically, the sensor includes the first sensor.
The hammer is provided on a first stopper provided at a rotation position, and the hammer contacts the second stopper provided at the second rotation position.

More specifically, the sensor is provided in the actuator.

More specifically, the swing angle of the hammer is regulated by the position of the sensor.

[0009]

In the pachinko shooting apparatus according to the present invention, the hammer is turned by the actuator against the restoring force of the elastic body, and the sensor detects that the hammer has turned to the first turning position corresponding to normal play. Since the off-timing position signal is used, the power supply to the actuator for the conventional dead time t ₀ can be turned off, and the power consumption of each pachinko machine can be reduced to about half in a long time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIG. 1, a hammer 1 is connected to a rotary shaft 3 of an actuator 2 composed of a rotary solenoid or a torquer fixed to a casing (not shown).

A plurality of locking holes 1 in the base 1a of the hammer 1
b includes one end 4a of an elastic body 4 made of a spring or the like.
The other end 4b of the elastic body 4 is wound and connected to an operation handle 5 rotatably provided on the casing.

Further, the rotation range of the hammer 1 is the first range.
A first stopper 10 provided at a rotation position A and a second stopper 11 provided at a second rotation position B are provided. In addition,
Each stopper 10, 11 is provided in the casing. At the first rotation position A, a sensor 20 composed of an LED, a magnetic type, or the like is provided on the casing, and an off-timing position signal 20a from the sensor 20 is input to a control unit 30 connected to the actuator 2. ing.
Further, the sensor 20 can be provided on the first stopper 10.

Next, a case where a ball is actually fired in the above-described configuration will be described. First, in the state of FIG. 1, the actuator 2 is turned on by an on signal 30a from the control unit 30, so that the rotating shaft 3
The hammer 1 is rotated in the direction of the arrow X via the
Grows against its resilience.

In the above-described state, the ball 33 on the guide 32 comes into contact with the tip 1c of the hammer 1. In this state, the position of the hammer 1 is detected by the sensor 20, and the hammer 1 is moved to the first stopper 10. Abut

The off-timing signal 20a from the sensor 20 is input to the control unit 30, and the control unit 30 turns off the on-signal 30a. The ball-hitting operation of the hammer 1 is completed by contacting the two stoppers 11.

[0016] The foregoing energized state hammer 1, as shown in FIG. 2, since the off timing signal 20a is set at the time the time of the normal play other than the current dead time t ₀ is completed, Power consumption can be reduced by the power supply dead time t ₀ . Therefore, the saved power supply dead time t ₀ shown in FIG. 2 is 1/100 minute,
If this is one day or one month, the saving of power consumption is a huge energy saving. The sensor 20 can be provided in the actuator 2 to detect the angle of the rotating shaft 3. Further, the sensor 20 is provided in place of the first stopper 10, and the first stopper 10 is removed to eliminate noise and vibration. Can also. Further, the sensor 20 can be arranged at an arbitrary angle position.

[0017]

[Effects of the Invention] Since the pachinko launching apparatus according to the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained. That is, since the position of the hammer is detected by the sensor and the operation of the actuator is turned off by the off-timing signal from this sensor, the power consumption required for the operation of the conventional dead time can be eliminated, and the entire pachinko hall can be greatly reduced. Energy saving can be achieved.
