In the lower part of the set frame 11, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, an introduction hole 18 corresponding to the terminal exit 4a of the winning ball passage 4 and an opening 19 formed at the upstream end of the winning ball discharging passage 5 are formed. Is formed, and a discharge control device for a winning ball according to the present invention is provided in association with the introduction hole 18 and the extraction hole 20.

The prize ball dispensing apparatus 9 includes a main body base 91, a lead screw 92, and a drive motor 93 as shown in FIG. The supply paths 94a and 94b communicating with the supply path 8 and the prize ball discharge gutter 1 are provided on the front surface of the main body base 91.
Discharge passages 95a and 95b communicating with zero are formed.
The lead screw 92 has supply paths 94a, 9
A ridge 921 for receiving the state-of-the-art prize ball of 4b is spirally provided and supported by the main body base 91 so as to be horizontally rotatable.
When the drive motor 93 rotates, it rotates through a gear group 96. When the lead screw 92 rotates, the prize ball received by the ridge 921 is released from the support of the ridge 921 and is paid out to the discharge paths 95a and 95b, and is detected by the prize ball detectors 97a and 97b. When the prize ball detectors 97a and 97b detect a certain number of prize balls, the detection signal is sent to the prize ball discharge control device 21.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 5 to 9, a description will be given of a winning ball discharge control device 21 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The discharge control device 21 includes a box frame member 22 and a ball feed member 2.
3 and a solenoid 24. The box frame member 22 is formed in a hollow box shape with an open front side, and the front side thereof is attached to the back side of the set frame 11 by a screw or the like so as to cover the introduction hole 18 and the lead-out hole 20. Can be Inside the box frame member 22, a standby portion 25 for receiving a winning ball rolling from the introduction hole 18 and the guide shelf 2
An inclined passage portion 27 for sending out the winning ball of the waiting portion 25 from the lead-out hole 20 to the winning ball discharging passage 5 through the through-hole 6 is provided.

The waiting portion 25 is provided with a through hole 28 smaller than the diameter of the winning ball, and the winning ball rolled into the waiting portion 25 is received by the through hole 28. The upper surface of the guide shelf 26 has a winning ball on the inclined passage 27.
It is formed as an inclined surface toward the inclined passage portion 27 so as to be easily rolled.

Below the box frame member 22, there are provided a pair of bearing pieces 29a and 29b located on both sides of the through hole 28. The ball feed member 2 is located between the bearing pieces 29a and 29b.
The rear end 3 is rotatably supported by a support shaft 30. The ball feed member 23 is provided at its tip with a push-up portion 31 located below the through hole 28, and the front surface thereof is an arc-shaped ball stopping surface 32. An engagement pin 33 serving also as a weight is provided on a side surface of the ball feed member 23. In addition,
The upper surface 31 a of the push-up portion 31 is formed as an inclined surface facing the upper surface of the guide shelf 26.

An engagement recess 35 provided at the lower end of the interlocking member 34 is engaged with the engagement pin 33. Interlocking member 3
The upper part of 4 is bent in the lateral direction, and this tip is connected to the lower end of plunger 36 of solenoid 24. Further, the interlocking member 34 is vertically movably held by a cylindrical portion 37 formed on a side surface of the box frame member 22. The cylindrical portion 37 is an L-shaped frame piece 3 protruding from the side surface of the box frame member 22.
8 and a supporting member 39 attached to the rear surface of the box frame member 22 and an integral L-shaped frame piece 40.

The solenoid 24 is mounted on the back surface of the set frame 11 via a mounting plate 41 by screws or the like.
For this reason, the relative positional relationship between the box frame member 22 and the solenoid 24 is fixed, and when the solenoid 24 is demagnetized, the plunger 36 is lowered by the bias of the coil spring 42, and the ball is moved via the interlocking member 34. The feed member 23 is placed in a state of being rotated downward as shown by the solid line in FIG.

A standby portion 25 is provided on the rear surface of the box frame member 22.
The prize-ball detector 43 for detecting the prize-ball located at is located. The winning ball detector 43 is securely mounted at a desired position by fitting the small through holes 44a and 44b provided therein to fitting projections 45a and 45b provided on the rear surface of the box frame member 22. And it is fixed by the support member 39.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, when the solenoid 24 is demagnetized and the ball feed member 23 is rotated downward, the winning ball B guided to the end 4 a of the winning ball passage 4 receives the winning hole B.
Rolled into the standby portion 25 of the box frame member 22 from the
It is received on the upper surface of. At the same time, the prize ball detector 43 detects the prize ball, and the drive motor 93 of the prize ball payout device 9 is rotated by the detection signal, and the prize ball is paid out to the discharge passages 95a and 95b. When the prize ball detectors 97a and 97b detect a certain number of prize balls, the solenoid 24 of the discharge control device 21 is momentarily excited by the detection signal.

When the solenoid 24 is excited, the plunger 36 is attracted upward against the bias of the coil spring 42 as shown in FIGS. The member 23 rotates upward, and the push-up portion 3
1 protrudes upward from the through hole 28 of the standby portion 25. Therefore, the winning ball B received by the through hole 28 of the standby portion 25
Is pushed up on the upper surface 31a of the push-up portion 31 and moves on the guide shelf 26, and is guided to the inclined passage portion 27 as shown by the chain line in FIG. It is. Incidentally, when the ball feeding member 23 is rotated upward, winning ball B ₁ arranged in the winning ball passage 4 Korogarikoma in contact with stand 25 to Tamatomemen 32 of the push-up portion 31 as shown in FIG. 9 Not to be.

When the solenoid 24 is demagnetized, the plunger 36 of the solenoid 24 is lowered by the urging of the coil spring 42, whereby the ball feed member 23 is also rotated downward, as shown in FIG.
And the state shown in FIG. Therefore, the next winning ball B
₁ rolls into the standby portion 25 and is received by the through hole 28.

[0022]

As described above, the apparatus for controlling the discharge of a prize ball in a pachinko machine according to the present invention is provided on the rear side of a mechanism plate having a prize ball path for collecting prize balls and a prize ball discharge path. Since the winning ball passage in the winning ball passage can be guided to the winning ball discharging passage while being separated one by one, the end of the winning ball passage is located near the side frame of the pachinko machine. It can be easily applied to a pachinko machine having a special structure. In other words, by extending the end of the prize ball path near the side frame of the pachinko machine, as described in the embodiment, the supply path of the prize ball, the prize ball payout device, the prize ball discharge path and the prize ball. Discharge control devices etc. can be set as an assembly,
