It is arranged in the lower part. The vicinity of the outlet portions 63 and 64 of the front and rear guide channels 22c and 23c is formed in a shape inclined in a downward direction toward the inside.

In the vicinity of the center of the cover plate 23, a rear concave portion 23d that is provided adjacent to the rear side of the front concave portion 22d and through which the pachinko ball passing through the outlet 64 of the rear guide channel 23c is fed is provided. At the lower end of the storage board 1, a post-delivery port 23e is provided next to the rear side of the front delivery port 22e and feeds a pachinko ball passing through the rear recess 23d from the inside of the cover plate 23 to the lower side thereof. It is opened oppositely.
The front and rear introduction ports 22b and 23b, the front and rear guide paths 22c and 23c, and the front and rear delivery ports 22e and 23e are each partitioned by an intermediate plate 24.

  Wall surfaces of the front and rear introduction ports 22b, 23b, that is, the rear surface of the upper end portion of the front passage wall 22a of the set plate 22, the front surface of the upper end portion of the rear passage wall 23a of the cover plate 23, and the rear surface of the upper end portion of the intermediate plate 24 Each is formed with a top chamfered portion 65 that is chamfered so that the thickness gradually decreases upward. The pachinko balls passing through the front and rear introduction ports 22b and 23b flow down while slightly escaping in the front and rear direction by the top surface removing portion 65, and the pachinko balls are prevented from biting at the front and rear introduction ports 22b and 23b.

  Wall surfaces of the front and rear ball delivery ports 22e and 23e, that is, the rear surface of the lower end portion of the front passage wall 22a of the set plate 22, the front surface of the lower end portion of the rear passage wall 23a of the cover plate 23, and the rear surface of the lower end portion of the intermediate plate 24 Each has a bottom chamfer 66 chamfered so that the thickness gradually decreases downward. The pachinko balls passing through the front and rear delivery ports 22e, 23e flow down while being escaped in the front-rear direction by the bottom surface removal portion 66, and the pachinko balls are prevented from biting.

  The front and rear passage walls 22a and 23a of the front and rear wall bodies 22 and 23 are shown in FIGS. 9 and 12 for the purpose of taking out foreign matters such as dust that have entered the front and rear guide passages 22c and 23c and the front and rear recessed portions 22d and 23d. A take-out window 67 shown in FIG.

  A front end portion of a support shaft 26 that protrudes rearward is inserted into the center portion of the front recessed portion 22d of the set plate 22.

  A stepping motor type payout motor 25 having an output shaft 25a provided in abutting fashion on the rear surface of the support shaft 26 on the rear surface of the cover plate 23 is made of metal between the payout motor 25 and the cover plate 23. The heat sink 68 is attached together with the heat sink 68 in a state where the heat sink 68 is sandwiched. In this example, the heat sink 68 is formed in a shape obtained by bending an aluminum plate into a substantially L shape.

  The payout motor 25 is provided with a connector 25b to which a connector of a lead wire bundle for connecting the payout motor 25 and a payout control board 79, which will be described later, is attached and detached, and the heat radiating plate 68 has a lead wire holding portion 68a for inserting and holding the lead wire bundle. The lead wire holding portion 68a is formed in a shape with a narrow insertion width of the inlet portion so as to prevent the lead wire bundle from escaping.

  When the payout motor 25 is overheated due to a cause such as a ball bite, the heat of the payout motor 25 is dissipated through the heat radiating plate 68 to prevent heat conduction to the unit base 21. Further, when the ball dispensing unit 20 is assembled, the unit base 21 and the dispensing motor 25 can be protected from the drop impact by receiving the drop impact by the heat sink 68 when the ball dispensing unit 20 is accidentally dropped. .

  The output shaft 25a of the payout motor 25 is rotatably supported by the support shaft 26 and is inserted into the front and rear recesses 22d and 23d. The payout motor 25 is driven to rotate about a horizontal rotation shaft along the front-rear direction. A ball feeding member 27 made of opaque synthetic resin is coupled.

  At the center in the front-rear direction of the ball feeding member 27, a rotating disk 28 serving as a disc-shaped teaching of the number of balls to be paid out and serving as a partition wall is formed. The front and rear surfaces of the rotating disk 28 are arranged around the rotation axis of the ball feeding member 27. Each having six tooth portions 29a arranged in a rotationally symmetric state of 60 °, and six ball receiving portions 29b each provided in a concave curved shape between adjacent tooth portions 29a, A pair of front and rear spherical cutting teeth 29A and 29B formed symmetrically in the front-rear direction are concentrically connected to one another.

  At the periphery of the rotating disk 28, the ball feeding member 27 is disposed on the outer side of each tooth portion 29a of both the ball cutting teeth 29A and 29B and on the outer side of the intermediate portion between the adjacent tooth portions 29a. Are arranged in a rotationally symmetric state of 30 ° around the rotation center, and the same number (12) of detected portions 70 for the photosensor as the number of the ball receiving portions 29b are recessed.

  Since the rotary disk 28 of the ball feeding member 27 has a function of being sandwiched between both the ball cutting teeth 29A and 29B and blocking and partitioning the front and rear ball receiving portions 29b, and a function of teaching the number of balls to be paid out. The ball feeding member 27 can be made compact.

  Each detected portion 70 of the turntable 28 has a notch width that gradually increases outwardly and both side edges are radiused in order to prevent dust clogging in each detected portion 70 and lengthen the detection time of the photosensor. It gradually expands toward the outer side in the direction, and an arc-like roundness is given near the inner end to form a substantially U shape and no corners.

  The ball receiving portions 29b of both the ball cutting teeth 29A and 29B of the ball feeding member 27 connect the rotation centers of the ball cutting teeth 29A and 29B and the center of the ball receiving portion 29b so that the pachinko balls can be easily received and discharged. It is formed asymmetrically with respect to the line segment, and each ball receiving portion 29b is formed such that the curvature of the curved surface on the side that emits the pachinko sphere is gentler than the curvature of the curved surface on the side that receives the pachinko sphere. It is accurately received by each ball receiving portion 29 and discharged at a fixed position, and is smoothly swiveled and transferred without the ball biting in the unit base 21.

  When the ball feeding member 27 is driven to rotate, the ball receiving portions 29b of both the ball cutting teeth 29A and 29B are in the front and rear guide passages 22C and 23C of the unit base 21 and in two rows of pachinko waiting in front and rear. The ball is received one by one before the top dead center of the turning trajectory of the ball receiving portion 29b, and the received pachinko ball is swung over the top dead center and discharged one by one at the tip of the top dead center.

  The swivel angles at which the ball receiving portions 29b on both sides of the ball receiving portion 29b on both sides of the ball receiving portion 29b on both sides of the ball receiving portion 29b receive and release the pachinko balls are set to be substantially equal. The pachinko spheres are released at the time of turning about 180 ° from each. The discharged pachinko balls are sequentially sent downward through the front and rear delivery ports 22e and 23e and introduced into the front and rear ball passages 8 of the storage case in two rows.

  Each ball receiving portion 29b of the ball cutting teeth 29A on the front side of the ball feeding member 27 receives a pachinko ball in the front guide flow path 22c. Each ball receiving portion 29b of the ball cutting teeth 29B on the rear side receives the rear guide flow path 23c. The position where the ball receiving portion 29b of the front ball incisor 29A releases the pachinko ball is higher by about one ball than the position of receiving the pachinko ball inside, and the position of each ball receiving portion 29b of the rear ball incisor 29B is Is set to be lower by about one sphere than the position where the pachinko spheres are released, and the front and rear ball incisors 29A and 29B alternately release the received pachinko spheres.

  In the lower part of the front and rear guide channels 22c and 23c, the pachinko sphere moves downward and then slightly inwardly moves and bends, and the pachinko spheres of the outlet portions 63 and 64 have pachinko spheres above them. Since almost no weight is added, the weight of the pachinko ball group added to the ball feeding member 27 can be reduced as much as possible.

  The ball cutting teeth 29A and 29B before and after the ball feeding member 27 are each three pachinko balls, each of which has three ball receiving portions in the upper half of the six ball receiving portions 29b of both ball cutting teeth 29A and 29B. The pachinko balls in the front and rear rows rotate with the ball receiving portions 29b on both sides of the front and rear sides together with the ball receiving portions 29b in the upper half portions in the recessed portions 22d and 23d. It is discharged alternately after being rotated by 180 °.

  At the time of paying out the balls, the two rows of pachinko balls in the front and rear are respectively received by the upper halves of both the ball cutting teeth 29A and 29B and swiveled and transferred, and the weight of each of the three pachinko balls is stored in the ball feeding member 27. The weights of the pachinko balls added to the ball feeding member 27 at the time of ball dispensing are balanced at the left and right parts of the ball feeding member 27. Therefore, the load applied to the payout motor 25 by the weight of the pachinko ball can be reduced, and the rotational torque of the output shaft 25a of the payout motor 25 and the ball feed member 27 can be reduced when the payout motor 25 is in a power-off state. Therefore, the holding power for holding the output shaft 25a in a stationary state when the rotation of the payout motor 25 is stopped can be reduced.

  A ball feed number sensor (photo sensor) that detects the passage of each detected portion 70 of the rotating disk 28 at the lower end of the inner wall surface of the set plate 22 of the unit base 21 and transmits a pulse signal every time the detected portion 70 passes. 71 is attached, and the ball feed number sensor 71 is provided with a detection groove 71a formed between the light projecting portion and the light receiving portion, into which the peripheral portion of the rotating disk 28 is inserted.

  Each time the ball feeding member 27 delivers one pachinko ball, the detected portion 70 of the rotating disk 28 passes through the detection groove 71a of the ball feeding number sensor 71, and the number of balls delivered is counted, and the ball feeding number sensor 71 counts. The same number of pachinko balls as the counted number are paid out from the ball payout unit 20.

  When the later-described prize ball payout detection switch 55 detects a safe ball, the payout motor 25 is activated and the ball feed member 27 is rotated, and the pachinko balls are successively moved downward from the ball payout unit 20 by the front and rear ball cutting teeth 29A and 29B. Each time the detected portion 70 of the rotating disk 28 passes through the detection groove 71a of the ball feed number sensor 71, the number of payout balls is counted by 1, and the same number of payout balls as the number of payout balls corresponding to the type of safe ball. When the detecting unit 70 is counted by the ball feed sensor 71, the payout motor 25 stops. Also, in the type of pachinko machines where a different number of prizes are paid out at each winning hole on the game board surface, the payout ball number is the output of a safe ball detection switch provided in the safe ball path through which the winning hole on the game board surface or the winning ball passes. Different payout numbers set in advance corresponding to the respective signals are designated as units of count-up values related to the ball feed number sensor 71.

  When the payout control device A is mounted on a card-type pachinko machine, the data recorded on the card and the operation signal to the lending ball operation unit are sent to the card ball lending information processing unit (card information processing unit, lending ball information processing). And the ball feeding member 27 is rotated by a rotation angle corresponding to the number of balls lent, and the required number of balls is lent. Is delivered from the ball dispensing unit 20.

  For example, if 25 are pachinko sphere purchase units, 25 pachinko spheres can be purchased for 100 yen, and “1” when the purchase unit is specified by the number of operations on the lending ball switch.
