Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a bowling device provided with a gutter prevention device.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For beginners and children, a gutter prevention device has been devised in which the sides of the lane are covered with obstacles to prevent gutter from occurring. Plates and rods are used as obstacles, and a lifting device for raising and lowering them is provided.

A large force is required to raise and lower the plate or bar of the obstacle. In addition, there is a great deal of recoil and impact when the ball hits. For this reason, at present, as shown in Fig. 1, a method of tensioning the rope 1 with a support 2 which can be raised and lowered has been used.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In bowling games, two or three players in one lane alternately throw each frame. At this time, use the button at hand to raise and lower the rope for the gutter prevention device.

For example, when an adult and a child using a gutter prevention device play a game using one lane, the gutter prevention rope is lowered when the adult throws, and the rope is raised when the child throws. . However, there are drawbacks such as being unable to concentrate on the game. This tendency is especially strong when three people perform one lane. In addition, there is a heavy operational burden on the administrator side of the device. The present invention aims to provide a gutter prevention device that does not burden the player and the administrator of the device.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is a bowling device provided with an input means for indicating whether or not a gutter prevention device is used and a gutter prevention device control means that is activated during the player's play specified by the input means.

[0007]

[Embodiment of device]

 In the device of the present invention, the interface (I / F) that connects the lane control PC and the gutter prevention device distributes signals from the lane control, organizes signals coming out of the lane, and the lane control PC. The upper transmission to the. Further, in the present invention, in order to control two lanes with one lane control PC, a gutter prevention control BOX is arranged, and a signal from the gutter prevention I / F is controlled by this BOX.

[0008]

【Example】

 FIG. 2 shows a system of the bowling device interlocking with the gutter prevention device according to the embodiment of the present invention. The host computer (HC) 3 manages all lanes, and directly inputs "whether or not non-gutter is adopted" from the console 8 at the reception at the request of the player. The instruction from the H C3 whether or not to adopt non-gutter is sent to the front control PC (FC) 4 and stored there.

The FC 4 has a plurality of lane control PCs (AL) 5 under its control, analyzes the contents received from the HC 3 and sends the information to the AL 5 of the designated lane. AL5 manages two lanes (even lane and odd lane) by one unit, and sends a signal to the corresponding gutter prevention device 7 through the interface (I / F) 6 according to the instruction received from FC4. The gutter prevention device 7 raises and lowers the gutter prevention rope according to the instruction of AL5.

FIG. 3 shows the flow of the signal system between the AL 5, I / F (I / F (a) 9, I / F (b) 12) and the gutter prevention device 7. The I / F (a) 9 is built into the AL5 body, and the I / F (b) 12 is installed adjacent to the control box 18 for the gutter prevention device. One AL5 controls two even and odd non-gutter devices (ODD and EVEN).

In order to operate the gutter prevention device from AL5, a signal from the unit output I / F20 of AL5 is converted into a signal which can be relay driven by the signal conversion circuit 10 of I / F (a) 9, and I / F ( b) The drive relay switch 13 for the gutter prevention device 12 is used to perform odd / even distribution, and the on / off switches of the gutter prevention devices 17 and 19 of ODD or EVEN are activated.

The passage of the ball is directly transmitted from the ball passage sensors 15 and 16 to the passage signal input I / F 21 of the AL via the passage signal control circuit 11 of the I / F (a) 9. By sensing the passage of this ball, the AL5 will know the pitching situation.

However, since the beam of the ball passage sensor 15, 16 is blocked when the gutter prevention device operates, an unintended ball passage signal is output to AL5. In order to prevent this, the operation signal of the gutter prevention device is taken in, and when this is on, the output of the ball passage sensors 15, 16 is stopped.

The flow of this signal includes the drive motor of the gutter prevention device, the drive signal input circuit 14 of the I / F (b) 12, the pass signal control circuit 11 of the I / F (a) 9, and the pass signal I of the AL. / Passed to AL5 via F21 route. Further, the gutter prevention devices 17 and 19 are controlled by the gutter prevention control box with the pair of I / F (a) 9 and (b) 12.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 The feature of the present invention is to add the anti-gutter interface and the control box for the anti-gutter device to the lane, auto scorer system and non-gutter device currently in use. Since the raising and lowering can be controlled fully automatically, the game player does not need to manually raise and lower the bungee for each frame, so that the player can concentrate on the game without forgetting to raise or lower the bungee and the device There is an effect that it can be easily managed.
