Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine in which a hammer attached to a rotary shaft of a rotary solenoid is rotated and hit by energizing the rotary solenoid. And a hitting device that keeps the hammer in a hit state when the game is over. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pachinko machine in which a rotary hammer attached to a rotary shaft of a rotary solenoid is turned to hit a ball by energizing a rotary solenoid, at the end of a game, the hammer is moved from a hitting position to a spring or its own weight. And was held in a state of being dropped and mounted on the stopper at the starting position. [0003] In the above-mentioned prior art, one ball is supplied to the hammer while the hammer returns to the starting position after hitting the ball. Therefore, at the beginning of the game, since no ball is supplied to the firing rail at the beginning of the game, the game cannot be started unless the ball is hit once and the ball is not supplied. There was a problem that there is. Also, it is necessary to adjust the position of the tip of the hammer so that the hammer correctly hits the center of the ball. In the adjustment process, the gaming table has been assembled and the reflection position has been adjusted from the front of the game board. However, there is a problem that if the hammer tip is at the start position from the front, it is inaccessible, and the hammer tip cannot be lifted unless turned around the back of the game console, resulting in very poor workability. An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention achieves the above object by energizing a rotary solenoid.
The hammer attached to the rotary shaft of the rotary solenoid.
In a pachinko machine designed to hit a ball , a means for supplying electric energy to the rotary solenoid that can hold the hammer at the end of the game at the end of the game and maintain a standing state is provided, and the hammer is stopped at the upper stop position. When the game starts, the power to the rotary solenoid is stopped and the hammer is turned from the upper stop position to the lower stop position, and the rotary solenoid is turned off. , A regular pulse is applied to the ball to rotate upward and hit the ball. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 1 is a ball hitting unit, 2 is a substrate, on which a rotary solenoid 3 is arranged, and a hammer 5 is attached to a rotating shaft 4 thereof. 6 is an upper stopper, 7 is a lower stopper, and 8 is a touch switch. FIG. 3 shows a first embodiment of the present invention, in which a pulse 9 having a fixed width is applied to the rotary solenoid 3 to repeatedly hit a ball, and after a final pulse 9n is applied, the hammer 5 rotates upward and finishes hitting the ball. Is designed to continuously apply electric energy 10 to the rotary solenoid 3 just to keep the mallet 5 up. FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a pulse 11 of a predetermined width a is applied to the rotary solenoid 3 by a chopper method to repeatedly hit a ball. After rotating upward and hitting the ball, a pulse 12 of a width b smaller than the width a is applied to the rotary solenoid 3 by the chopper method. The pulse 12 has enough electric energy to keep the hammer 5 standing. Next, the operation will be described. At the start of the game, the current to the rotary solenoid 3 is turned off. The hammer 5 is dropped and mounted on the lower stopper 7 by its own weight. The ball is supplied on the firing rail in conjunction with the rotation operation during this time. Next, a pulse P is supplied to the rotary solenoid 3 at predetermined intervals in accordance with the control circuit of FIG. The hammer 5 rotates upward, loses power after hitting the ball, and is dropped and mounted on the lower stopper 7. When this operation is repeated and the hand is released from the touch switch 8, the hammer 5 finishes hitting the ball by the final pulse Pn, hits the upper stopper 6 and simultaneously hits the rotary solenoid 3 with the hammer 5. , The electrical energy 10 held is continuously applied. In the case of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the chopper pulse 11 applied to the rotary solenoid 3 is composed of a pulse having a predetermined width a. A chopper-type pulse 12 having a small width b is applied, and this pulse 12 is electric energy that keeps the hammer 5 in a standing state after the hammer 5 has been hit. According to the present invention, a rotary solenoid is provided.
Energizing the rotary shaft of the rotary solenoid
To a slingshot machine that turns the hammer attached to
At the end of the game, without using a member such as an auxiliary coil for the purpose of holding the rotary solenoid, and without using a power source for the purpose of holding,
It has means for supplying electric energy to the rotary solenoid enough to hold it in a standing state, and has a replenishing device for replenishing balls in conjunction with the operation of turning the hammer from the upper stop position to the lower stop position. At the start of the game, the energization of the rotary solenoid is stopped, the hammer is rotated from the upper stop position to the lower stop position, and a regular pulse is applied to the rotary solenoid to rotate upward and hit the ball. At the start of the game, it starts with a ball replenishment operation that returns from the firing position where the hammer is standing, and then the game can smoothly start to the firing operation, there is no idle hit as in the past, and the player starts playing without discomfort be able to. Further, the hammer tip is adjusted on the production line so that the hammer tip always hits the center of the ball on the firing rail at the firing position. However, since the hammer tip is always stopped at the firing position, adjustment work is required. Since the adjustment can be performed only in front of the gaming table, the adjustment operation can be easily performed.
