Description

  The present invention relates to gaming machines represented by pachinko machines and slot machines.

  A game using a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine is a game that is widely popular because it can be easily enjoyed and is loved by many players. New machines called new machines are being developed one after another by game machine manufacturers, and in order to entertain the game without getting tired of the players in each hall, there is a shift from old machines and unpopular machines to new machines. Replacement is regularly performed. On the other hand, old tables that are no longer needed in each hall are generally disposed of as industrial waste, except for some relatively expensive parts such as LCDs and control boards. It has reached a huge amount.

  By the way, in a pachinko machine, for example, many resin components such as a game board, a front frame or a door frame are molded using a thermoplastic synthetic resin. The resin component can be reused as a recycled resin molding material (for example, pulverized into a recycled resin powder or manufactured as a recycled pellet). If reuse becomes possible, the amount of waste as industrial waste can be reduced, and it is also highly valuable from the viewpoint of effective use of resources.

  However, in order to reuse the resin component members, each resin component member collected from the used pachinko machine has to be sorted for each material, and there is a problem that the sorting operation is difficult. That is, it is difficult for an operator to visually determine the material of each collected resin component, and in particular, in the case of a resin component configured in a laminated structure from a skin layer and a core layer, the material of the core layer is determined from the appearance. There was a problem that could not be done.

  Therefore, there is a problem that the separation operation of the collected resin constituent members becomes complicated, and the separation operation requires a large amount of cost. This problem may result in the market price of recycled resin molding materials exceeding that of unused resin molding materials. On the other hand, in order to reduce the work cost, if the resin components are recycled without sufficiently separating each material, the quality of the recycled resin molding material will be inferior, and game machine manufacturers will use unused resin molding materials. I cannot help it. As a result, reuse of the resin component is not promoted, and the amount of industrial waste is not reduced.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of efficiently separating resin constituent members.

In order to achieve this object, the gaming machine according to claim 1 is assembled using a resin component molded from a resin molding material, and the resin component is composed of an unused resin molding material or an unused resin molding material. A single layer portion of a skin layer formed of a light-transmitting resin material mainly composed of a resin molding material used and constituting the entire surface, and a recycled resin molding material or a recycled resin molding material positioned between the skin layer and the skin layer A core layer-containing member having a laminated portion including a core layer formed of a material mainly composed of a material, and the core layer-containing member is injected with a resin molding material by a co-injection method or a sandwich method. a member obtained by molding, the core layer containing member, as space on the back side of the core layer containing members through the single layer portion is visible, the monolayer It is arranged to expose the position.

According to the gaming machine of claim 1, the core layer-containing member exposes a single layer portion of the skin layer formed of an unused resin molding material or a light transmissive material mainly composed of an unused resin molding material. Since it is disposed, the space on the back surface side of the core layer-containing member can be visually recognized through the single layer portion.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this embodiment, a pachinko machine that is a kind of a ball game machine, in particular, a first type pachinko game machine will be described as an example of the game machine.

  A substantially arc-shaped outer rail 6 is planted on the front surface of the game board 5, and an arc-shaped inner rail 7 is planted at an inner position of the outer rail 6. A game area 8 into which a game ball is driven is formed on the front surface of the game board 5 surrounded by the inner rail 7 and the outer rail 6, and the game ball 8 wins a prize in the game area 8. A plurality of normal winning holes 9 through which 5 to 15 game balls are paid out as prize balls are provided. A variable display device 11 having a liquid crystal display (LCD) 10 for variably displaying symbols as a plurality of types of identification information is disposed at a substantially central portion of the game area 8. A center frame 11a that also serves as a decorative member is provided around the liquid crystal display 10 of the variable display device 11, and the periphery of the liquid crystal display 10 is decorated by the center frame 11a. A 7-segment LED 11b, which is a type of display device, is disposed at the upper center of the center frame 11a.

  Below the variable display device 11, a symbol operation port (first type start port) 12 is disposed. When the game ball passes through the symbol operation gate 12, the first type start port switch (not shown) is turned on, and the variable display device 11 described above starts the variable display, and five game balls are awarded. It is paid out as a ball. A variable winning device 13 is disposed below the symbol operating gate 12. This variable winning device 13 has a large winning opening which is a wide rectangular opening through which two or more game balls can pass simultaneously at a substantially central portion thereof.

  The big winning opening is a predetermined time (for example, 30) so that the game ball can easily win when the display result after the change of the variable display device 11 matches one of the predetermined symbol combinations (big win display). Seconds), or until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins. A state in which the opening / closing operation of the special prize opening can be performed is a state in which a predetermined game value is given (special game state). Below the variable winning device 13 and at the lowermost part of the game area 8, an out port 14 is formed for discharging game balls that have not won any of the winning ports to the outside of the game area 8. .

  A front door plate (waist plate) 15 attached to the metal frame 3 so as to be openable and closable is disposed below the out port 14, that is, below the glass door frame 4. On the front surface of the front door plate 15 is disposed an upper plate 16 for storing the game balls and supplying the game balls to a game ball launching device (not shown), below the upper plate 16. A lower plate 17 for storing game balls that could not be stored in the upper plate 16 is disposed in the lower portion of the front frame 2. In addition, an operation handle 18 operated by a player to drive a game ball into the game area 8 is disposed on the right side portion of the lower plate 17, and inside the operation handle 18 is used for launching a game ball launcher. A handle switch 18a for driving a motor (not shown) is incorporated.

  Above the left portion of the upper plate 16 described above, an upper plate outlet passage 19 that is opened in a substantially rectangular shape is provided. The upper tray lead-out passage 19 is an opening through which the game balls paid out from the prize ball payout device and the ball rental payout device (not shown) are sent to the upper plate 16, and from the prize ball payout device and the ball rental payout device. The paid-out game ball passes through the upper plate outlet passage 19 and is transferred to the upper plate 16. The upper plate outlet passage 19 includes a decorative plate member 19b formed in a plate shape, and the front surface of the front door plate 15 is covered and decorated by the decorative plate member 19b.

  Next, the resin structural member used for the pachinko machine 1 configured as described above will be described. First, a resin component that is disposed on the front side of the pachinko machine 1, that is, at a position where a player who is playing a game can visually recognize, and is required to have decorativeness will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II in FIG. 1 and shows a cross section of the upper plate 16 and the upper plate outlet passage 19. In FIG. 2, a part of the upper plate outlet passage 19 is omitted. Moreover, the arrow in FIG. 2 has shown the flow direction of the game ball. As described above, the upper tray lead-out passage 19 is a passage for delivering game balls paid out from the prize ball payout device and the rental ball payout device (not shown) to the upper plate 16, as shown in FIG. Further, the upper plate 16 extends from the upper side toward the prize ball dispensing device side (right side in FIG. 2).

  A rolling member 19a for rolling the game ball is provided on the lower surface of the upper plate lead-out passage 19, and this rolling member 19a is arranged from the prize ball payout device side (right side in FIG. 2) to the upper plate 16. It is formed to be inclined downward toward the side (left side in FIG. 2). Therefore, the rolling member 19a can roll and move the game ball paid out from the prize ball payout device or the like toward the upper plate 16. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a decorative plate member 19b having a flat plate shape in a side view is connected to the left portion of the upper plate lead-out passage 19, and the pachinko machine 1 (front door plate 15) is provided by the decorative plate member 19b. ) Is decorated (see FIG. 1).

  Here, the cross-sectional structure of the upper plate outlet passage 19 has a different cross-sectional structure between the rolling member 19a and the decorative plate member 19b. That is, the cross-sectional structure of the decorative plate member 19b is a three-layer structure including a skin layer 20 that forms a surface layer portion and a core layer 21 that forms an intermediate layer while being sandwiched between the skin layers 20. The cross-sectional structure of the rolling part 19a is a single layer structure having only the skin layer 20, that is, not having the core layer 21.

  The skin layer 20 is a layer composed of an unused resin molding material (virgin pellet) as a raw material. On the other hand, the core layer 21 is a layer composed of a recycled resin molding material (recycled pellets) that reuses a resin component (for example, an upper plate or an upper plate outlet passage) collected from a used gaming machine, For this reason, the material cost is lower than that of the skin layer 20, but the mechanical strength and the gloss are inferior.

  Therefore, the decorative plate member 19b of the upper plate outlet passage 19 forms a three-layer structure by sandwiching the core layer 21 having poor mechanical strength and gloss with the skin layer 20 made of an unused resin molding material. The decorative board member 19b having a three-layer structure can develop a vivid color by the skin layer 20 of the surface layer portion while maintaining its strength (rigidity), and as a result, the appearance of the pachinko machine 1 is impaired. Is prevented.

  On the other hand, since the rolling part 19a of the upper plate lead-out passage 19 is a place where the game ball rolls, a larger load acts than the decorative plate member 19b. For this reason, the rolling layer 19a is not laminated with the core layer 21 having inferior strength, and has a single-layer structure including only the skin layer 20 made of an unused resin molding material. Therefore, the rolling portion 19a can obtain sufficient strength (rigidity) and is prevented from being damaged due to the rolling of the game ball, so that the game paid out from the prize ball payout device or the like The sphere can be reliably transferred to the upper plate 16.

  The upper plate 16 is for receiving the game ball flowing down from the above-described upper plate lead-out passage 19 and transferring the game ball to the game ball launching device. When it falls, it plays the role of storing this game ball. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 2, a support member 16a for rolling the game ball and storing the game ball is formed in the upper plate 16 so as to be bent in a substantially U-shaped cross section. A decorative member 16b is connected to the end of the support member 16a. The decorative member 16b decorates the side surface (left side in FIG. 2) of the upper plate 16 and gives an appearance of the pachinko machine 1. Forming.

  The cross-sectional structure of the upper plate 16 is composed of a skin layer 20 that forms a surface layer portion, and a core layer 21 that forms an intermediate layer while being sandwiched between the skin layers 20, similarly to the upper plate lead-out passage 19 described above. Yes. The skin layer 20 is composed of an unused resin molding material (virgin pellets) as a raw material, and the core layer 21 is composed of a recycled resin molding material (recycled pellets) that is a recycled resin component recovered from a used gaming machine. It is configured.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the support member 16a of the upper plate 16 is not laminated with the core layer 21 having a low strength, and is configured in a single layer structure only from the skin layer 20 made of an unused resin molding material. Therefore, since the supporting member 16 can obtain sufficient strength (rigidity), it can be received without being damaged by the collision of the game ball flowing down from the upper plate lead-out passage 19, and as a result, the game ball Can be reliably transferred to the launcher and stored.

  As described above, the upper plate 16 and the upper plate lead-out passage 19 prevent the appearance of the pachinko machine 1 from being damaged by using a recycled resin molding material that is inferior in strength and color but has a low material cost as a core layer. However, the material cost can be reduced and the material cost of the pachinko machine 1 as a whole can be reduced accordingly. In addition, by providing a single-layer structure without stacking such core layers at locations where strength is required, it is possible to sufficiently ensure the strength required as a transfer path for game balls.

  Therefore, reused recycled resin molding materials can be used while ensuring the strength and decorativeness of resin components, so the amount of industrial waste can be reduced and resources can be used effectively. From the viewpoint of, it will be highly valuable.

  Next, the resin component disposed on the back side of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a rear view of the mechanism plate 33. In FIG. 3, each path provided on the front side of the mechanism plate 33 (the back side in FIG. 3) for transporting the game balls is illustrated using broken lines, and the back side of the mechanism plate 33 (the page in FIG. 3). Various substrate boxes attached to the front side are omitted in the figure.

  The mechanism plate 33 is attached to the front frame 2 of the pachinko machine 1 and the back side of the game board 5 to form a transfer path of game balls between the opposing surfaces, and a prize ball payout device 38 for paying out a prize ball. And parts for mounting various board boxes for accommodating control circuit boards. The mechanism plate 33 is formed in a flat plate shape having a substantially rectangular opening 33b penetratingly formed in the center portion thereof, and is mounted on the back surface side of the front frame 2 by hinge pins 33a and 33a disposed on the right side end portion. It is supported so that it can be opened and closed.

  A ball tank 35 in which a game ball supplied from a table management device (not shown) is temporarily stored is provided on the upper rear surface (upper side in FIG. 3) of the mechanism plate 33. A sphere tank rail 36 is provided below the sphere tank 35, and a case rail 37 is provided on the side of the sphere tank rail 36 (right side in FIG. 3). The ball tank rail 36 and the case rail 37 are members for guiding the game balls supplied to the ball tank 35 to the prize ball payout device 38 and the rental ball payout device 39, and are arranged at the downstream end of the case rail 37. The upper portions of the prize ball payout device 38 and the ball rental payout device 39 are connected in series.

  A payout path unit 80 is connected below the prize ball payout device 38 and the lending ball payout device 39, and the game balls paid out by the prize ball payout device 38 and the like are connected via the payout path unit 80. It is transferred to the dish 16 or the lower dish 17.

  A connecting passage 37 a for discharging game balls stored in the ball tank 35 is provided on the right side portion of the prize ball payout device 38, and this connecting passage 37 a is provided on the right side portion of the payout path unit 80. The second connection passage 80a communicates with the second connection passage 80a. The game ball discharged from the ball tank 35 passes through the connection passage 37a and the second connection passage 80a and is transferred out of the pachinko machine 1.

  The connection passage 37a is formed to a depth of three game balls, while the second connection passage 80a is formed to a depth of two game balls, so that a connection portion between the connection passage 37a and the second connection passage 80a. There is a risk that a level difference will occur and ball clogging will occur. Therefore, the connecting portion is connected by an inclined member 87 having an inclination corresponding to approximately one outer diameter of the game ball, so that the game ball can pass smoothly. Further, the case rail 37 and the dispensing unit 80 are formed of a resin mixed with carbon and thus have an opaque black color, and the inside cannot be visually recognized. However, the inclined member 87 is transparent to make the inside of the passage visible. Since it is molded from a resin material, it is possible to easily confirm the occurrence of clogging.

  Further, in the lower part of the mechanism plate 33 (lower side in FIG. 3), a collecting passage 75 for collecting winning balls and out balls and guiding them to a predetermined place, a lower plate outlet passage 77 for transferring the game balls to the lower plate 17, etc. Is formed. Each of these passages 75, 77, etc. is formed with the front side (the back side in FIG. 3) open, and the open side is brought into contact with the front frame 2 of the pachinko machine 1 and the back side of the game board 5. A closed space serving as a path for the game ball is formed. Further, for example, the collection passage 75 includes ball receiving plates 73 and 74 that receive the winning balls and out balls that flow down, and the game balls received by the ball receiving plates 73 and 74 are collected in the collection passage 75. It is transferred in a lump.

  FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IV-IV in FIG. 3 and shows a cross section of the sphere tank 35. In addition, the arrow in a figure has shown the flow direction of the game ball. The ball tank 35 is formed, for example, in the shape of a box whose upper side (the upper side in FIG. 4) is opened using an ABS resin material, and a certain amount of game balls can be stored therein. Further, an opening communicating with the ball tank rail 36 (see FIG. 3) is provided on the downstream side of the ball tank 35 (the back side in FIG. 4), and the game balls stored in the ball tank 35 are opened. To the ball tank rail 36.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the spherical tank 35 is formed in a box shape from a bottom member 35a and side wall members 35b standing from both ends of the bottom member 35a. The game ball flowing down from the table management device is received by the bottom member 35a, and then flows down to the ball tank rail 36 from the above-mentioned opening while rolling on the bottom member 35a. For this reason, the base member 35a of the ball tank 35 is required to be relatively strong, while the ball tank 35 itself is a part that is not touched by the player who is playing the game, and the decoration is particularly necessary. It has not been.

  Accordingly, the cross-sectional structure of the sphere tank 35 is excellent in a portion where strength is required while the entire sphere tank 35 (skin layer 20) is made of a recycled resin molding material that is inferior in color but excellent in material cost. A core layer made of an unused resin molding material having high strength is laminated to ensure the required strength. That is, the cross-sectional structure of the side wall member 35b is a single-layer structure from the skin layer 20, whereas the cross-sectional structure of the bottom member 35a is sandwiched between the skin layer 20 forming the surface layer portion and the skin layer 20. The core layer 21 that forms the intermediate layer is formed into a three-layer structure.

  As a result, the bottom member 35a of the ball tank 35 having a three-layer structure can obtain sufficient strength (rigidity), and can receive the game ball flowing down from the table management device without being damaged. As a result, the ball tank 35 can reliably transfer the game ball to the ball tank rail 36 and can exhibit a function as a game ball transfer path.

  FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VV in FIG. 3 and shows a cross section of the mechanism plate 33. In FIG. 5, a part of the mechanism plate 33 is omitted. In FIG. 5, a two-dot chain line represents the front frame 2 of the pachinko machine 1 and the back surface of the game board 5, and the arrows indicate the flow direction of the game balls.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the mechanism plate 33 is supported by the pachinko machine 1 with its front side (right side in FIG. 5) being in contact with the front frame 2 and the back side of the game board 5. A closed space serving as a path for the game ball is formed between the surfaces facing the other. The game balls flowing down this passage are received by a ball receiving plate 73 extending from the front side of the mechanism plate 33 toward the front frame 2, and then roll on the ball receiving plate 73 into the collecting passage 75. Collected (see FIG. 3). For this reason, the ball receiving plate 73 of the mechanism plate 33 is required to be relatively strong, while the mechanism plate itself is a component that is not touched by the player who is playing the game, and the decorativeness is particularly necessary. It has not been.

  Therefore, as in the case of the sphere tank 35 described above, the cross-sectional structure of the mechanism plate 33 is formed from a recycled resin molding material that is inferior in color, but excellent in material cost, as the raw material of the mechanism plate 33 (skin layer 20). In a place where strength is required, a core layer 21 made of an unused resin molding material having excellent strength is laminated to form a three-layer structure. As a result, since the ball receiving plate 73 of the mechanism plate 33 having a three-layer structure can obtain sufficient strength (rigidity), it is possible to receive the game ball that has flowed down without being damaged. Therefore, the mechanism plate 33 can reliably transfer the game balls to the ball collecting passage 75 and can exhibit a function as a game ball transfer path.

  As described above, the ball tank 35 and the mechanism plate 33 use a recycled resin molding material having a low material cost for the entire member (skin layer 21). Therefore, the material cost of the resin constituent member is reduced, and accordingly, the material cost of the pachinko machine 1 as a whole is reduced. In addition, the ball tank 35 and the mechanism plate 33 are laminated as an intermediate layer only in places where strength is required because the core layer made of an unused resin molding material that is expensive but excellent in strength is suppressed, thereby suppressing an increase in material cost. On the other hand, the strength required for the transfer path of the game balls can be secured. Further, by using the recycled resin molding material, it is possible to reduce the amount of waste as industrial waste, which is highly valuable from the viewpoint of effective use of resources.

  FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line VI-VI in FIG. 3 and shows a cross-section of the inclined member 87 that covers the case rail 37. A two-dot chain line in the drawing represents the back side of the mechanism plate 33. As shown in FIG. 6, the inclined member 87 is formed on the connecting passage 37 a of the case rail 37 while being formed in a U-shaped cross section, and is formed between the connecting passage 37 a and the inclined member 87. The inside space is used as a path for game balls.

  As described above, the inclined member 87 is disposed at a place where there is a risk of the ball clogging, and is made of a transparent light transmissive resin. Therefore, a store clerk or the like of the hall can visually confirm whether or not a ball clogging has occurred on the connection passage 37a via the inclined member 87. However, since the inclined member 87 is provided adjacent to the prize ball payout device 38 as shown in FIG. 6, the side wall 87a located on the prize ball payout device 38 side (left side in FIG. 6) is transparent. The necessity of constituting with a light-transmitting resin is lacking. Therefore, in this embodiment, the core layer 21 made of a recycled resin molding material is laminated on the side wall portion 87 as an intermediate layer to form a three-layer structure. That is, the cross-sectional structure of the inclined member 87 is a portion where the entire inclined member 87 (skin layer 20) is made of a transparent light-transmitting resin material in order to enable clogging of the balls by visual observation, A core layer 21 made of a recycled resin molding material having excellent material costs is laminated at a location that is behind the other members to form a three-layer structure.

  As a result, the inclined member 87 can use a recycled resin molding material with a low material cost while maintaining the function of visually confirming the clogging of the balls. Therefore, the material cost of the inclined member 87 can be reduced, and the material cost of the pachinko machine 1 as a whole can be reduced accordingly. Further, by using the recycled resin molding material that has been reused, the amount of waste as industrial waste is reduced, and the value is high from the viewpoint of effective use of resources.

  Next, a method for molding a resin constituent member configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. The resin component of the present invention is injection molded into a state having a three-layer structure portion and a single-layer structure portion consisting of a skin layer and a core layer by a co-injection method (sandwich method) which is a well-known injection molding method. The

  Fig.7 (a) is a front view of a sandwich injection molding apparatus, FIG.7 (b) is sectional drawing of the resin structural member shape | molded by the sandwich injection molding apparatus. In FIG. 7A, the die 97 is shown in cross-section for easy understanding.

  The sandwich injection device 90 (hereinafter referred to as the injection device 90) includes a main cylinder 91, and the inside of the main cylinder 91 is configured in a double structure to form the skin layer 20 and the core layer 21. Has been. The injection device 90 includes a heater (not shown), and the resin molding material is heated by the heater and injected into a mold in a molten state.

  A special nozzle 92 is attached to the tip of the main cylinder 91, and the opening / closing amount of the molten resin passage having a double structure can be adjusted by the special nozzle 92. The opening / closing amount of the molten resin passage is adjusted by operating the piston (not shown) built in the rear end cylinder 93 in the front-rear direction.

  A first sub-cylinder 94 and a second sub-cylinder 95 are disposed on both sides of the main cylinder 91 (the left and right sides in FIG. 7A). Both the sub-cylinders 94 and 95 incorporate a heater and a kneading screw (not shown), and knead while melting the resin molding material. The sub cylinders 94 and 95 are connected to the molten resin passage of the main cylinder 91 through a passage 96, and the special nozzle 92 provided at the tip of the main cylinder 91 is communicated with the mold 97. .

  Pellets (for example, mainly composed of unused resin molding material) as raw materials for forming the skin layer 20 are fed from the hopper 98 to the first sub cylinder 94 side. On the other hand, pellets (for example, mainly composed of used resin molding material) as raw materials for forming the core layer 21 are input from the hopper 98 to the second sub cylinder 95 side. The charged raw materials (pellets) are conveyed into the main cylinder 91 while being kneaded in the sub-cylinders 94 and 95.

  The molten resin conveyed from the first sub cylinder 94 is guided to the outside of the double structure in the main cylinder 91, while the molten resin conveyed from the second sub cylinder 95 is doubled in the main cylinder 91. Guided to the center of the structure. Then, each molten resin is injected into the cavity 97 a of the mold 97 to form the skin layer 20 and the core layer 21. In this case, by injecting while adjusting the opening / closing amount of the molten resin passage, the injection pressure or the injection time for each passage of the molten resin passage, the single-layer structure portion and the three-layer structure portion are located in the cavity 97a of the mold 97. Formed.

  Thereafter, the mold 97 is held until the molten resin injected into the cavity 97a is cured. After curing, when the mold 97 is released and the molded product 98 is taken out, as shown in FIG. 7B, the molded product 98 has a single-layer structure portion and a three-layer structure portion. is there. In FIG. 7A, a single gate is provided at the substantially central portion of the mold 97, but the position and number of gates may be changed as appropriate in consideration of the shape of the cavity 97a and the like. Is possible.

  Here, in the said Example, although the description was abbreviate | omitted about the structure of the resin molding material, a thermoplastic resin can be widely used as a resin molding material. In particular, ABS resin, AS resin, MBS resin, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyamide, polycarbonate, polyester, polyvinyl chloride, polymethyl methacrylate, polypropylene, polyacetal, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyphenylene ether, vinyl acetate, etc. are used. It is preferable.

  These may be used alone or in combination as a polymer blend or polymer alloy. Examples of the combination include ABS resin and polyamide, ABS resin and polycarbonate, polycarbonate and polyester, and the like. However, it is possible to blend or alloy other than these, for example, rubber may be blended. By blending or alloying in this way, the properties of the resin can be supplemented, and it can be expected that the impact resistance is improved and the dimensional stability is improved.

  Further, the raw materials used for the skin layer 20 and the core layer 21 can be different raw materials as long as there is no problem in compatibility. For example, since ABS resin and polycarbonate have good compatibility, ABS resin is used as an unused resin molding material for the skin layer 20, and polycarbonate or ABS resin containing polycarbonate is used as the used resin molding material for the core phase 21. Is also possible.

  However, it is basically preferable to use the same one. For example, if the skin layer 20 is made of ABS resin, the core layer 21 is also preferably made of ABS resin. Thus, the problem of the compatibility between each layer can be reduced by comprising the skin layer 20 and the core layer 21 from the same raw material.

  Further, if the skin layer 20 and the core layer 21 of the resin constituent member are made of the same raw material, the entire used resin constituent member can be reused as it is. In this case, a predetermined resin component (for example, a sphere tank) is specified to be molded using a specific resin component (for example, a sphere tank) of a specific manufacturer. As a result, the used resin constituent member can be completely reused (recycled) while keeping the material (quality) of the resin constituent member constant.

  The blending ratio of the unused resin molding material to the used resin component is not particularly limited, and in view of the purpose of reducing industrial waste and effectively using resources, the used resin component alone And is preferably used as a raw material. However, when the strength is remarkably inferior due to repeated reuse, an unused resin molding material is blended. In particular, when strength, color gloss, or the like is required, it is preferable to blend an unused resin molding material by 50 weight percent or more, more preferably 80 weight percent or more. The thickness ratio between the skin layer 20 and the core layer 21 is not particularly limited.

  As the used resin molding material, a used resin constituent member already used as a result of the present invention may be used as a raw material, and other resin constituent members may be used as a raw material. Further, a part of the latter used resin constituent member may be mixed in the former used resin constituent member. In addition, the used resin component as a result of the practice of the present invention may be reused as a single raw material for the entire member, or separate raw materials by separating the single-layer structure portion and the three-layer structure portion. May be reused as

  Moreover, although the said Example demonstrated the case where the resin structural member was formed in the 3 layer structure from the 1st, 2nd resin structural material, you may form in the multilayer structure of 4 layers or 5 layers or more. In such a case, three or more types of resin constituent members may be used. Further, in this embodiment, a location where the strength of the resin component is required, that is, a location where the game ball flows down as a location where the cross-sectional structure of the resin component is configured in a three-layer structure (or a single-layer structure) is used. However, it may be applied to other places. As an example, a place where a screw is screwed is mentioned. This will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the resin component 101 is a member whose exposed surface side (right side in FIG. 8) is covered with the member 102, so that the decorative property is relatively not required. Therefore, it is composed of a recycled resin molding material (skin layer 20) which is inferior in strength and gloss, but excellent in material cost. However, since the member 102 is screwed to the resin constituent member 101 by the screw 103, there is a possibility that the female thread portion screwed into the resin constituent member 101 may be damaged by screwing with the screw 103. Therefore, a core layer 21 made of an unused resin molding material having excellent strength and wear resistance is laminated on the female thread portion. As a result, the screw 103 can be firmly screwed into the female screw portion, and the member 102 can be securely screwed to the resin constituent member 101. In particular, such an effect is exhibited when the screw 103 is constituted by a tapping screw that is tapped by the screw itself.

  Moreover, you may provide in advance the display part which shows the boundary of the location formed in the 3 layer structure of the resin structural member, and the location formed in a single layer structure on the surface of the resin structural member. For example, when the collected used resin component is pulverized and reused as a recycled resin molding material, it is desirable to classify the material and quality of the used resin component. For example, even if a resin of the same material is used, the quality of the recycled resin molding material can be accurately controlled by classifying the raw materials according to the number of times of recycling, and the commercial value is also improved.

  Therefore, in the resin component of the present invention, for example, when an unused resin molding material is used for the skin layer and a recycled resin molding material is used for the core layer, a three-layer structure and a single-layer structure are used. By cutting the resin component along the display section indicating the boundary with the location, at least the unused resin molding material constituting the single-layer structure location can be separated and recovered from the recycled resin molding material, and recycled. The quality control of raw materials can be performed with high accuracy.

  Moreover, although the said Example demonstrated the case where a three-layer structure location was formed only in one place with respect to one resin structural member, it is not limited to this in particular, 3 in 2 or 3 or more places You may provide a layer structure location in the mutually independent state.

  Next, the gaming machine management system will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The gaming machine management system according to the present embodiment is a system for making the sorting operation of each member such as a resin component member efficient by holding the unique information in the gaming machine, and reads the collected unique information of the gaming machine. A management device (host computer 101) for management and a plurality of terminal devices (manufacturer terminal device 120) capable of transmitting and receiving various information to and from the management device are provided. The management device is installed in a recycling facility that collects and sorts gaming machines from halls, etc., and the terminal device is a gaming machine manufacturer, a manufacturer of each member constituting the gaming machine, etc. (hereinafter simply “manufacturer”). ").

  The unique information held in the gaming machine is stored (held) by the unique information holding means (IC chip 113), and the unique information stored in the unique information holding means is read by the dedicated reading means (reader 110). By reading in, the read unique information is input to the management device and stored. In the following description, a pachinko machine, which is a kind of ball game machine, will be described as an example of a game machine integrated in a recycling facility. Of course, it is possible to use the present invention for a gaming machine other than a pachinko machine.

  FIG. 9 schematically shows an outline of the gaming machine management system centering on the recycling facility. The host computer 101 of the recycling facility and the manufacturer terminal device 120 of the manufacturer are connected to each other via the telephone line 102. FIG. 3 is an external view showing a connected state and a distribution route through which used pachinko machines collected from a hall or the like and collected in a recycling facility are sorted and distributed to a disposal contractor or each manufacturer. In FIG. 9, black arrows (telephone line 102) indicate the flow of information, and white arrows indicate the flow of objects (for example, pachinko machines, various parts, or raw materials).

  The host computer 101 installed in the recycling facility is for managing and sorting pachinko machines collected from the hall and collected in the recycling facility, and includes a reader 110. The reader 110 is for reading unique information stored in an IC chip 113 (described later) attached to the pachinko machine. The unique information of the pachinko machine read by the reader 110 is stored in the host computer 101. . The unique information stored in the host computer 101 is used by the recycling facility or each manufacturer to manage and sort out the pachinko machines accumulated in the recycling facility.

  Further, the host computer 101 is connected to each manufacturer terminal device 120 through a telephone line 102 and is configured to be able to transmit and receive various information such as management information to and from each manufacturer terminal device. In addition, each manufacturer can efficiently manage and sort pachinko machines. Here, the electrical configuration of the host computer 101 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the host computer 101. The host computer 101 includes an MPU 103 that is an arithmetic device, a ROM 104 that stores various control programs executed by the MPU 103 and fixed value data, a RAM 105 that is used as a work memory, a hard disk 106, an input / output port, and the like. 107, an interface 108, a modem 109, a reader 110, a keyboard 111, and a CRT display 112.

  The MPU 103, the ROM 104, and the RAM 105 are connected to each other via a bus line 14 that includes an address bus and a data bus. The bus line 14 is also connected to the input / output port 107. The input / output port 15 is connected to the hard disk 106, the interface 108, the reader 110, the keyboard 111, and the CRT display 112, respectively.

  The hard disk 106 is a rewritable nonvolatile memory that stores the programs of the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, and includes a recycle determination program 106a executed by the MPU 103, first to n-th manufacturer memories 106b1 to 106bn, And a management information memory 106e.

  The recycling determination program 106a compares the unique information read by the reader 110 with the contents (selection information) of first to n-th manufacturer memories 106b1 to 106bn, which will be described later, for example, a processing method for each part of the pachinko machine (for example, part A Is a program for determining whether the component B is to be discarded and the component B is to be recycled, and the determination result is displayed on the CRT display 112 of the host computer 101. Therefore, an operator who disassembles the pachinko machine and selects each part only needs to select each part according to the determination result displayed on the CRT display 112, so that the selecting operation can be performed efficiently. The contents of the recycle determination program executed by the host computer 101 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The first to n-th manufacturer memories 106b1 to 106bn are memories provided for each manufacturer, and store sorting information and the like uniquely set by each manufacturer. The sorting information is information serving as a reference for determining the processing method of each part of the pachinko machine, and as described above, it is compared with the unique information of the pachinko machine read by the reader 110, and the processing method of each part is described above. It is determined by the determination program 6a. Specifically, in the sorting information, for example, the material (for example, ABS resin) and the number of times of reproduction (for example, two times) are set as the sorting criteria for the resin component, and the reader 110 reads the unique information. As a result, it is determined that the resin component made of ABS resin having the number of regeneration times should be recycled, and the resin component member made of ABS resin having the number of regeneration times of 3 should be discarded. Judgment is made.

  The first to n-th manufacturer memories 106b1 to 106bn store graphic data for illustrating each part of the pachinko machine, and the host computer 101 determines the shape of each part based on the graphic data. The display 112 can be displayed. Therefore, for example, an operator who disassembles a used pachinko machine and sorts each part based on the determination result by the above-described recycling determination program 106a can perform each disassembly based on the shape illustrated on the CRT display 112. Since parts can be easily identified, even an operator who is unfamiliar with the names of each part can smoothly select each part.

  The management information memory 106e is a memory for storing information related to each pachinko machine accumulated in the recycling facility. The content of the unique information of each pachinko machine read by the reader 110 and the unique information of each pachinko machine are stored in the management information memory 106e. Information obtained by adding processing results (for example, whether the product has been discarded or recycled) to each part is aggregated and stored as management information. Therefore, each manufacturer can not only grasp the location of each part, for example, about all the pachinko machines accumulated in the recycling facility by checking the contents of the management information stored in the management information memory 106e. Furthermore, since it is possible to accurately grasp the final processing results, such as whether each part has been discarded or recycled, the distribution state of its own pachinko machines can be tabulated and managed.

  The interface 108 is used to connect the MPU 103 and the modem 109, and RS-232C is used. The modem 109 is a transmission / reception unit that transmits and receives commands and various data, and converts digital signals and analog signals when data communication such as the Internet is performed on an analog communication line (telephone line 102). It is a modem. Since the modem 109 is connected to the manufacturer terminal device 120 of each manufacturer via the telephone line 102, the host computer 101 can transmit / receive various information to / from the manufacturer terminal device 120 of each manufacturer.

  The reader 110 is a handy terminal type reader that reads information stored in the IC chip 113 (specific information of the pachinko machine) in a non-contact manner. Information read by the reader 110 is decoded by a dedicated program and stored in the management information memory 106e of the hard disk 106. The management information memory 106e does not store all information read by the reader 110, but stores only necessary information.

  Next, the IC chip 113 will be described. The IC chip 113 is for storing unique information of each pachinko machine, and is designed so that signals can be transmitted and received (reading of unique information) to and from the reader 110 in a non-contact manner by an antenna provided inside. Yes. This IC chip is laminated with a flexible plastic substrate, paper, or the like, and processed into an IC label or IC tag. An adhesive layer is provided on one surface of the label or tag, and the IC chip 113 is adhesively fixed to the pachinko machine by this adhesive layer.

  Here, the pachinko machine is generally configured to be disassembled into a game board, a game frame, and a main control board (main control board case), and each component of these game board, game frame, and main control board Considering that they are used (traded) every time, the above-mentioned IC labels and IC tags are respectively fixed to three positions of a game board, a game frame, and a main control board of a pachinko machine. As a result, even when a game board or the like is collected alone in a recycling facility, an operator who disassembles the game board and selects each member based on the unique information stored in the IC chip 113 at the time of the selection. Since each member can be easily sorted, the sorting operation of each member can be performed smoothly.

  The IC chip 113 does not necessarily have to be processed into a label or tag form, and may be directly fixed to the pachinko machine. Further, the IC chip 113 may be fixed to the gaming machine after being laminated in a sandwich structure with a protective base material such as resin. The fixing method is not limited to adhesion, and general methods such as screwing and embedding can be used.

  The unique information written (stored) in the IC chip 113 is mainly divided into two types: information relating to the entire pachinko machine and information unique to each member constituting the pachinko machine. Information relating to the entire pachinko machine includes the manufacturer code, date of manufacture, serial number (manufacturing number), type of game board / game frame / main control base, or security code.

  The manufacturer code is information representing an assembly maker of the pachinko machine, but may further include a manufacturer of each part used in the gaming machine, such as a resin component molding manufacturer. The date of manufacture is information indicating the date of manufacture of the pachinko machine, but for example includes information on the date of manufacture of each part used in the gaming machine such as a resin component. May be. The serial number is a number set for the gaming machine. For example, the serial number is set for each of the parts such as a game board, a game frame, and a main control board, or a resin component. May also be included.

  In addition, as information unique to each member constituting the pachinko machine, for example, a resin component member will be described as an example, type information indicating the name of the resin component member, etc., whether a laminated structure portion is provided in the resin component member Structure information indicating whether or not, specification information indicating the material and internal configuration of the resin component, and the like.

  The type information is information for specifying the resin component, and includes, for example, a name and an abbreviation. The specification information is information for representing the material, internal structure, and the like of the resin component, and examples thereof include the following. (1) About the skin layer 20 and the core layer 21 which comprise a resin structural member, the information showing each raw material of each layer 20 and 21. (2) Information indicating the raw material quality (for example, the number of reproductions, strength index, gloss index, etc.) of each of the layers 20 and 21 for the skin layer 20 and the core layer 21 constituting the resin constituent member. (3) Information representing the usage amount or distribution ratio (volume ratio, weight ratio, etc.) of each of the layers 20 and 21 for the skin layer 20 and the core layer 21 constituting the resin constituent member. (4) Information (for example, graphic data) indicating the position (area) where the layers 20 and 21 are disposed for the skin layer 20 and the core layer 21 constituting the resin constituent member. (5) Information indicating the usage or distribution ratio (volume ratio or weight ratio) of each of the layers 20 and 21 for the skin layer 20 and the core layer 21 at the position (region) in which the layered structure is formed. (6) Information on whether or not a part such as metal is insert-molded on the resin constituent member, a position where the part such as metal is disposed, and a material of the part such as metal.

  Returning to FIG. The manufacturer terminal device 120 of the manufacturer transmits information (selection information) serving as a reference for determining how to process the pachinko machine (each part) of the company in the recycling facility to the host computer 101 and the host. It is a computer for receiving information (management information) such as processing results indicating how its pachinko machine (each part) has been processed in the recycling facility from the computer 101, and is hosted via the telephone line 102 described above. A modem is provided so that bidirectional communication with the computer 101 is possible.

  The sorting information transmitted from the manufacturer terminal device 120 is received by the host computer 101, and the received sorting information is received by the host computer 101 from the first to n-th manufacturer memories 106b1 to 106b1 of the hard disk 106 corresponding to the manufacturer transmitted. 106bn. When sorting information is already stored in the first to n-th manufacturer memories 106b1 to 106bn, the contents of the sorting information are updated to the newly transmitted sorting information. Therefore, each manufacturer can appropriately update (change) the contents of the selection information stored in the host computer 101 by transmitting the selection information from the manufacturer terminal device 120.

  Therefore, each manufacturer can change the content of the sorting information according to, for example, the market price and distribution volume of recycled resin molding materials, the manufacturer's planned number of manufactured products (scheduled usage of recycled products), or the processing capacity at the recycling facility. It can be changed as appropriate, and the sorting operation can be optimized. Furthermore, since the change of the sorting information can be transmitted to the recycling facility through a line, the sorting information can be transmitted easily, quickly and accurately.

  When a request for transmission of management information is transmitted from the manufacturer terminal device 120 to the host computer 101, the host computer 101 transmits the management information stored in the management information memory 106 e of the hard disk 106 via the telephone line 102. It transmits to the manufacturer terminal device 120. Based on the received management information, each manufacturer can accurately grasp, for example, the type and quantity of their pachinko machines or resin components accumulated in the recycling facility. In addition, since the processing result of each part is added to the contents of this management information as described above, for example, whether the company's own resin component parts have been discarded or recycled, etc. The processing results in the recycling facility can be recognized, and the final location of the company's resin components can be accurately counted and managed.

  Here, in the gaming machine management system of the present embodiment, the distribution route of pachinko machines centering on the recycling facility will be described. Pachinko machines that have been used in each hall are collected in a recycling facility. At the recycling facility, the accumulated pachinko machines are dismantled and each part is selected. As a result of the sorting, the parts to be discarded are delivered to a disposal company, and the parts to be recycled are shipped to the manufacturer as recycled materials or as reused parts after a recycling process.

  In the present embodiment, the basic distribution route has been described in order to facilitate understanding, but the present invention is not particularly limited thereto. For example, in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the halls A and B where the pachinko machine is brought into the recycling facility have been described as an example of a store (hall) where a player plays a game using a pachinko machine, etc., for example, a used gaming machine distributor, A so-called stock yard that collects and stores pachinko machines from each hall may bring pachinko machines to recycling facilities.

  Manufacturers A and B are not limited to manufacturers (primary manufacturers) that manufacture (assemble) pachinko machines, but manufacture (assemble) parts that make up the pachinko machines and deliver them to other manufacturers (secondary manufacturers, It may be a tertiary manufacturer. Needless to say, bringing a pachinko machine to the recycling facility and transporting parts from the recycling facility to the manufacturer may be performed directly by each hall or manufacturer, or may be performed by a carrier.

  In addition, parts of the pachinko machine, such as resin components, are recycled at a recycling facility (for example, the resin components are pulverized into recycled resin granules or recycled pellets) and recycled raw materials (recycled resin) The explanation is given in the form that the powdered granules, regenerated pellets, etc.) are delivered directly to manufacturers A and B. However, in the recycling facility, only the pachinko machine is disassembled and selected, and the parts selected as the parts to be recycled may be transported to other recycling companies. Recycled recycled material is delivered from this recycler to each manufacturer.

  Furthermore, only one or two holes A and B, manufacturers A and B, and disposal companies are shown in FIG. 1, but it is obvious that two or more holes may exist. For example, the disposal contractor may be a contractor that treats discarded parts as industrial waste (for example, landfill), or a contractor that treats discarded parts as heat-treated recycled parts (for example, incineration at a thermal power plant to obtain thermal energy). There are multiple types.

  Next, with reference to the flowcharts of FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, a pachinko machine sorting process executed by using the host computer 101 in the recycling facility will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart of main processing executed by the host computer 101, and FIG. 12 is a flowchart of recycling determination processing executed by the host computer 101. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a screen display on the CRT display 112.

  In the main process shown in FIG. 11, first, it is confirmed whether or not the input is from the reader 110, that is, whether or not the reader 110 has performed reading of specific information from the IC chip 113 mounted on the pachinko machine (S1). ). As a result of the confirmation, if the IC chip 113 is not read and there is no input from the reader 110 (S1: No), the process proceeds to S6 to execute another process. On the other hand, if the IC chip 113 is read and there is an input from the reader 110 (S1: Yes) as a result of the confirmation in the processing of S1, the data input (read) from the reader 110 That is, it is confirmed whether the unique information stored in the IC chip 113 is valid data (S2). This confirmation is determined based on whether or not the value of the security code included in the unique information is equal to the value stored in the host computer 101 in advance.

  In the process of S2, if the input (read) data (unique information) is not valid data (S2: No), the IC chip 113 has some kind of fraud, or the IC chip 113 is stored. Since there is a possibility that proper specific information cannot be obtained because the contents are destroyed for some reason (failed) or the like, the processing shifts to error processing as a reading error (S3). In the error process (S3), for example, the fact that a reading error has occurred is displayed on the CRT display 112 to notify the operator. In this case, the operator individually selects and processes pachinko machines for which the specific information has not been read.

  On the other hand, in the process of S2, when it is confirmed that the input (read) data (unique information) is valid data (S2: Yes), the input (read) data, that is, The content of the unique information stored in the IC chip 113 is displayed on the CRT display 112 (S4). Here, the display screen of the CRT display 112 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As a result of executing the processing of S4, the content of the unique information read from the IC chip 113 by the reader 110 is displayed on the CRT display 112. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, information on the pachinko machine, that is, a manufacturer name (Company A), a model name (XXXX), and a manufacturing number (No. 123456) are displayed on the upper part of the display screen. Below that, information related to each part constituting the pachinko machine is displayed in tabular form in the list portion 112a.

  For example, in the list portion 112a shown in FIG. 13, unique information regarding the resin constituent member is displayed for each part. For example, the “name” of the resin constituent member is stacked in order from the left of the display screen. "Molding method" indicating whether or not a structural part is provided, "Material" of the resin molding material used for the resin component, "Recycle count" of the resin molding material, 2 or more resin molding materials used “Mixing ratio” in the case where it is applied, “Important point” indicating the position where the laminated structure portion is provided, and “Decision result” column for instructing the processing method of the resin constituent member are provided.

  In the “Name” column, general names or abbreviations of resin components such as an upper plate, a lower plate, or a ball tank are displayed. An operator who disassembles a pachinko machine in a recycling facility can display the “Name” column. Each resin constituent member is specified based on the description. In addition, the “name” column is a shape of the resin component (top plate) corresponding to the name by moving the pointer on each name (for example, the top plate) using a mouse or the like and clicking the name. (External view) is configured as shown on the display screen. Therefore, for example, even an inexperienced worker who cannot recognize which part of the resin component of the name of the upper plate is the name alone, the appearance of the upper plate is displayed on the display screen. The resin constituent member can be easily specified from the resin constituent members disassembled with reference to the external view.

  The “molding method” column represents a molding method of the resin component, and sandwiched resin is displayed as a sandwiched resin component. Therefore, an operator who disassembles a pachinko machine has a laminated structure portion provided on the resin component described as a sandwich, that is, a core layer that cannot be recognized from the appearance is provided as an intermediate layer. This can be easily determined. Therefore, since it is unclear whether or not the resin component is provided with a laminated structure portion (core layer), it is possible to prevent the resin component from being discarded. Therefore, resources can be effectively reused without wasting waste of reusable resin components.

  The “Material” column represents a resin molding material constituting the resin component, and is displayed as, for example, ABS resin, PC resin, or the like. Moreover, the material (resin molding material) is displayed for each layer (skin layer, core layer) with respect to the sandwich-molded resin component. Therefore, the operator who disassembles the pachinko machine and selects the resin component can check the material of the core layer that cannot be recognized from the appearance without cutting / disassembling the resin component, so the selection work The work efficiency can be improved.

  The “Number of times of reproduction” column is a column representing the quality of the resin molding material, and the resin component (or skin layer, core layer) indicated by 0 is composed of an unused resin molding material. It means that the resin component (or skin layer, core layer) on which a numerical value of 1 or more is displayed is made of a recycled resin molding material. In addition, the displayed numerical value represents the number of times the reproduction process is performed. For example, a resin component (or a skin layer or a core layer) displayed as 2 has been subjected to a reproduction process twice. It means that it is composed of a resin molding material.

  The “mixing ratio” column represents the ratio of the skin layer and the core layer to the entire resin component when the resin component is sandwich-molded. For example, a resin component having 75 on the skin layer and 25 on the core layer indicates that the skin layer accounts for 75% of the entire resin component. In this embodiment, the “mixing ratio” is displayed using the weight ratio of the resin molding material (resin pellets) used for the skin layer and the core layer.

  The “point of importance” column is for indicating the position (area) where the laminated structure portion is provided for the resin component that is sandwich-molded, and the pointer is the same as the “name” column described above. Is moved to a predetermined position (denoted as “ant” in FIG. 13) and clicked, a cross-sectional view showing the arrangement position (region) of the core layer of the corresponding resin component is shown on the display screen. For example, when the “important point” column corresponding to the sphere tank is clicked, a sectional view of the sphere tank shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display screen.

  Note that the display (recycling, reuse, disposal, etc.) in the “determination process” column is not displayed at this point, and is displayed after execution of the recycling determination process described later, and will be described in detail later.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. As described above, after executing the process of S4 and displaying on the CRT display 112, the recycle determination process (S5) and each process (S6) are executed in order, and the main process ends. Here, the recycling determination process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the recycling determination process, first, the first to n-th manufacturer memories 106b1 to 106bn corresponding to the manufacturer name (Company A, see FIG. 13) included in the unique information input from the reader 110, that is, read from the IC chip 113. Is read (S11). Then, based on the contents read from the first to n-th manufacturer memories 106b1 to 106bn, that is, the contents read from the first to n-th manufacturer memories 106b1 to 106bn and the contents of the unique information stored in the IC chip 113 And the processing method of each component is determined (S12). Thereafter, after the determination result in S12 is displayed on the CRT display 112 (S13), this recycling determination process is terminated. Here, the determination method in S12 and the display screen of the CRT display 112 on which the determination result is displayed will be described with reference to FIG.

  As a result of executing the recycling determination process (S5), the determination result (for example, recycling, reuse, disposal, etc.) executed in S12 is displayed on the display screen of the CRT display 112 as shown in FIG. Displayed in the column. This “judgment result” column is for instructing the operator who disassembles the pachinko machine and sorts each part, and the judgment result is displayed for each part. For example, for parts that are marked as recycled, the worker is instructed to recycle, and for parts that are marked as reuse, the worker is instructed to reuse as is. The operator is instructed to dispose of the parts displayed as being discarded.

  Therefore, an operator who disassembles the pachinko machine and selects each part may perform the selecting operation according to the determination result displayed on the CRT display 112 at the time of disassembling, so that the resin components and the like can be selected smoothly. Can do it. Therefore, since a huge quantity of pachinko machines can be processed quickly and accurately, the operator's sorting operation can be saved, and as a result, the sorting cost can be reduced.

  Here, the determination method in S12 will be described. As described above, the host computer 101 stores the sorting information transmitted from each manufacturer in the first to n-th manufacturer memories 106b1 to 106bn of the hard disk 106 for each manufacturer. This sorting information is information used as a reference for determining the processing method of each part of the pachinko machine, and each manufacturer sends the sorting information to the host computer 101 according to the company's situation and displays the contents of the sorting information. Changes are made as appropriate.

  For example, if the design of the lower plate of the next new stand that is scheduled to be manufactured is the same as that of the model XXXX that is currently on the market, the lower plate of this model XXXX can be reused as the next new stand. Therefore, the manufacturer A transmits such sorting information (reuses the lower plate of the model A of the manufacturer A) to the host computer 101 of the recycling facility.

  As described above, the transmitted sorting information is stored (updated) as the latest sorting information in the corresponding first to n-th manufacturer memories 106b1 to 106bn. In the recycling determination process (S5), when the host computer 101 determines the processing method for the pachinko machine of model A of manufacturer A (S12), the selection stored in the first to n-th manufacturer memories 106b1 to 106bn Based on the information, a determination of “reuse” is performed on the lower plate of the model XXXX (see FIG. 13).

  In addition, for example, manufacturer A plans to use a large amount of ABS resin for the next new stand, and it is necessary to secure a recycled resin molding material. If the recycled resin molding material used cannot be used, manufacturer A recycles the sorting information (ABS resin is recycled. However, the upper limit of the number of times of recycling is two times, in order to recycle the resin component using ABS resin. .) Is transmitted to the host computer 101 of the recycling facility.

  As described above, the transmitted sorting information is stored (updated) as the latest sorting information, and the host computer 101 determines a processing method based on the sorting information in the recycling determination processing (S5) (S12). For example, in FIG. 13, the host computer 101 determines as follows.

  That is, in FIG. 13, the upper plate is made of ABS resin for both the skin layer and the core layer. An unused resin molding material (recycled 0 times) is used for the skin layer, but a recycled resin molding material with a recycled frequency of 2 is used for the core layer. However, since the mixing ratio of the core layer is 25%, which is a small amount with respect to 75% of the skin layer, when the upper plate is regenerated, the recycled resin molding material with the number of times of regenerating as the entire upper plate A recycled resin molding material having the same or better quality can be obtained. Therefore, based on the sorting information (ABS resin is recycled. However, the upper limit of the number of times of regeneration is two), the upper plate is determined to be “recycled” (see FIG. 13).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13, the skin tank and the core layer of the ball tank are both made of ABS resin, as in the above-described upper plate. An unused resin molding material (recycled 0 times) is used for the core layer, but a recycled resin molded material with a regeneration frequency of 2 is used for the skin layer, and the mixing ratio of the skin layer is 60%. Therefore, when this ball tank is recycled, it is impossible to obtain a recycled resin molding material having the same quality as that of the recycled resin molding material with the number of recycling times of 2 for the entire ball tank. Therefore, based on the sorting information (ABS resin is recycled. However, the upper limit of the number of regenerations is two), the ball tank is determined to be “discarded”.

  In this way, the processing method for each component is all determined by the host computer 101, and the determination result is displayed on the CRT display 112. Therefore, the operator who disassembles the pachinko machine and selects each part only needs to select each part according to the determination result displayed on the CRT display 112, and with respect to the enormous number of pachinko machines accumulated in the recycling facility. There is no need to perform complicated sorting determination as described above for each component. Therefore, the operator can quickly sort out a huge quantity of parts, and the sorting work can be labor-saving and efficient.

  In addition, each manufacturer can arbitrarily, quickly and easily change the contents of the sorting information stored in the host computer 101. Therefore, the contents of the sorting information can be changed appropriately according to the manufacturer's own situation and schedule. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately adjust the number of resin components to be discarded or recycled. In other words, each manufacturer can uniquely determine its own pachinko machine and resin component sorting method. For example, an optimum sorting method according to the manufacturer's planned number of manufactured products (the amount of recycled products to be used), etc. It can be selected and can flexibly cope with the processing of a huge amount of used pachinko machines.

  The present invention has been described above based on the embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be easily made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Can be inferred.

  For example, the host computer 101 in this embodiment is provided with a reader 110 that can read information stored in the IC chip 113. However, the reader 110 does not necessarily need to be read-only, and may be one that can both read and write information to the IC chip 113 (so-called reader / writer). Further, the reader 110 (or reader / writer) may be provided in the maker terminal device 120, and the maker terminal device 120 may be installed not only in the manufacturer but also in a hall or a disposal company.

  You may implement this invention in the pachinko machine etc. of a different type from the said Example. For example, once a big hit, a pachinko machine that raises the expected value of the big hit until a big hit state occurs (for example, two times or three times) including that (for example, a two-time right item, a three-time right item) May also be implemented. Moreover, after the jackpot symbol is displayed, it may be implemented as a pachinko machine that enters a special game state under the condition that a ball is awarded in a predetermined area. Further, in addition to the pachinko machine, the game machine may be implemented as various game machines such as an alepatchi, a sparrow ball, a slot machine, a game machine in which a so-called pachinko machine and a slot machine are integrated.

  In the slot machine, for example, a symbol is changed by operating a control lever in a state where a symbol effective line is determined by inserting coins, and a symbol is stopped and confirmed by operating a stop button. Is. Accordingly, the basic concept of the slot machine is that “a variable display means for confirming and displaying a symbol after a symbol string composed of a plurality of symbols is displayed in a variable manner, and the symbol resulting from the operation of the starting operation means (for example, an operating lever). The change of the symbol is stopped due to the operation of the stop operation means (for example, the stop button) or after a predetermined time has elapsed, and the fixed symbol at the time of the stop is a specific symbol Is a slot machine provided with special game state generating means for generating a special game state advantageous to the player. In this case, the game medium is typically a coin, a medal or the like.

  In addition, as a specific example of a gaming machine in which a pachinko machine and a slot machine are integrated, a variable display means for displaying a symbol after a symbol string composed of a plurality of symbols is displayed, and a handle for launching a ball is provided. What is not provided. In this case, after throwing a predetermined amount of spheres based on a predetermined operation (button operation), for example, the change of the symbol is started due to the operation of the operation lever, for example, due to the operation of the stop button, or With the passage of time, the fluctuation of the symbol is stopped, and a jackpot state advantageous to the player is generated on the condition that the confirmed symbol at the time of stoppage is a so-called jackpot symbol. A lot of balls are paid out.

The modification of this invention is shown below. In a gaming machine that is assembled using a resin component molded from a resin molding material, the gaming machine includes information holding means that holds unique information about the gaming machine, and the unique information held in the information holding means includes at least the above-mentioned information A gaming machine 0 including resin information relating to a resin component. In Yu technique machine 0, at least two or more of the resin components are used, the resins information included in the specific information, characterized in that the type information indicating the name and the like of the resin component is contained A gaming machine 1.

  According to the gaming machine 1, two or more resin constituent members are used in one gaming machine, and the resin information includes type information indicating the name of each resin constituent member. Therefore, an operator who sorts each resin constituent member based on the structure information can easily identify each resin constituent member based on the type information indicating the name or the like at the time of the sorting. Can be smoothly performed.

In Yu Technical Machine 0 or gaming machine 1, the resin information included in the specific information, and wherein the specification information representing the type information with the material and the internal configuration of a wearing corresponding resin component or the like is included A gaming machine 2 to play.

  Moreover, as specification information, the following are illustrated, for example. (1) Information representing the raw material of the resin component. (2) Information indicating the quality of raw materials (for example, the number of reproductions, the strength index, or the gloss index) constituting the resin constituent member. (3) Information representing the amount of resin component used (weight, volume, etc.). (4) Information on whether or not a part such as metal is insert-molded on the resin constituent member, the position where the part such as metal is disposed, the material of the part such as metal, and the like.

  According to the gaming machine 2, the resin information includes specification information indicating the material and internal configuration of the resin component. Therefore, the operator who selects the resin constituent member can select the resin constituent member based on the specification information indicating the material, the internal configuration, and the like at the time of the selection. Therefore, even if it is a resin component that cannot be judged from its appearance or its internal structure, it is not necessary to cut the resin component in order to confirm the material, etc. Sorting workability is improved. Moreover, since the specification information is associated with the type information indicating the name of each resin component, the operator can easily select each resin component based on the type information indicating the name at the time of selection. Therefore, it is possible to smoothly select the resin constituent members.

In any one of Yu technique machine 0 2, wherein the resin information included in the specific information, included structural information that represents whether or not the resin component in the laminated structure portion in association with the type information is provided A gaming machine 3 characterized by

  In addition, as a resin structure member provided with the laminated structure location, for example, a multi-layer structure (for example, a three-layer structure) is configured by a skin layer forming a surface layer portion and a core layer sandwiched between the skin layers. The sandwich molded member is exemplified, and examples of the sandwich molded member include those in which the entire member has a multilayer structure and those in which only a specific portion (region) has a multilayer structure. In this case, the specific portions (regions) having a multilayer structure may be scattered independently at two or more locations.

In any of Yu Technical Machine 0 3, the resin information included in the specific information, the laminated structure portion in association with the type information contains stacked specification information about the resin structure member provided A gaming machine 4 characterized by the above.

  Examples of the stack specification information include the following. (1) Information indicating the material of each layer for the skin layer, core layer, and the like constituting the resin constituent member. (2) Information indicating the raw material quality (for example, the number of times of reproduction, strength index, gloss index, etc.) for each layer of the skin layer, core layer, etc. constituting the resin component. (3) Information representing the amount used or the distribution ratio (volume ratio or weight ratio) for each layer of the skin layer, the core layer, and the like constituting the resin constituent member. (4) Information indicating the position (region) where each layer is disposed for the skin layer, the core layer, and the like constituting the resin constituent member. (5) Information indicating the usage or distribution ratio (volume ratio or weight ratio) for each layer of the skin layer, the core layer, and the like at the position (region) where the layer structure is formed. (6) Information on whether or not a part such as metal is insert-molded on the resin constituent member, a position where the part such as metal is disposed, and a material of the part such as metal.

  According to the gaming machine 4, the resin information includes specification information indicating the material, internal configuration, and the like of the resin constituent member provided with the laminated structure portion. Therefore, the operator who selects the resin constituent member provided with the laminated structure portion can select the resin constituent member based on the specification information indicating the material, the internal configuration, and the like at the time of the selection. Therefore, even if it is a resin component that cannot be judged from its appearance or its internal structure, it is not necessary to cut the resin component in order to confirm the material, etc. Sorting workability is improved. Moreover, since the specification information is associated with the type information indicating the name of each resin component, the operator can easily select each resin component based on the type information indicating the name at the time of selection. The resin component can be selected smoothly.

In any of Yu Technical Machine 0 4, the resin information included in the specific information, characterized in that it comprises a member history information representing the history of the resin component in association with the type information Game machine 5. The member history information includes, for example, whether or not the resin component has been reused, and if it has been reused, Information such as the number of reuses is exemplified.

  According to the gaming machine 5, since the resin information includes member history information indicating whether or not the resin component is reused, for example, a used gaming machine is disassembled to form a resin component. The worker who sorts out the resin can sort out the resin constituent members based on the information. Therefore, since it is unclear from the appearance of the resin component whether or not the resin component is reused, it is possible to prevent the resin component from being discarded. As a result, there is an effect that resources can be effectively reused without wastefully disposing of reusable resin components.

Game machine 6 in any of Yu technique machine 0 5, the unique information held in the information holding means, characterized in that it contains the history information such as manufacturer codes. The history information includes a manufacturing date, a manufacturing date, a serial number (manufacturing number), a security code, and the like in addition to the manufacturer code.

  The manufacturer code is not limited to the assembly manufacturer of the gaming machine, and may represent a manufacturer for each member used in the gaming machine, such as a molding manufacturer of each resin component. Here, for example, the history information indicating the molding maker of each resin component is associated with the type information indicating the name of each resin component. By specifying the manufacturer, the used gaming machines (each member) can be managed for each manufacturer, and the location of the final processing responsibility for the gaming machine or each member can be clarified.

  The serial number is set for each gaming machine, each member, or the game board / game frame / main control board. The number setting may be set independently by each manufacturer, or may be set in the entire industry (a plurality of manufacturers). The number need not be a serial number in which each number has a different value from other numbers. For example, the number may be a production lot number to which the same number is assigned to a group of members. Here, for example, history information representing a serial number set for each resin component is associated with type information representing the name of each resin component.

  Here, even if the sandwich molded member has the same name by the same molding manufacturer, for example, the material of the recycled resin molding material used for the core layer may be different for each molding lot. For this reason, it is not possible to completely manage materials and the like that may be different for each molding lot simply by specifying each resin constituent member with the type information representing the name or the like. Therefore, for example, by setting a serial number (for example, a molding lot number) for each resin molded member, even if the member has the same name by the same molding manufacturer, the material of each resin constituent member based on the serial number, etc. Can be reliably and accurately grasped.

In any one of Yu TECHNICAL machine 0 6, wherein the specific information, gaming machine 7, characterized in that at least the game board, the game frame, is held in each of the main control board case by the information holding means. A gaming machine is generally configured to be disassembled into a game board, a game frame, and a main control board case, and each part such as a game board disassembled from the game machine is used (transacted) independently. There are also many. For this reason, an operator who selects each resin component from each part such as a game board used alone (transaction) by holding unique information in each part such as a game board is unique in the selection. Since each resin component can be easily sorted based on the information, the resin component can be sorted smoothly.

In any one of Yu TECHNICAL machine 0-7, the information holding means, the game machine 8, characterized in that the electrical storage means is to hold the specific information of the resin component. As the electrical storage means, an IC chip, an IC card, a flash memory, an EEPROM, or the like is exemplified.

  According to the gaming machine 4, since the electrical storage means is used as the information holding means, a sufficient amount of information can be held. Therefore, since it is possible to cover information necessary for disassembling and selecting gaming machines (parts), for example, resin components can be selected with a finer reference. Also, for example, in a recycling facility or the like, it is necessary to process a huge amount of used gaming machines, etc., but the unique information held in the IC chip can be read by an IC chip reader and processed by a computer. A huge amount of information can be processed quickly and accurately. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the labor of the sorting operation of the operator who disassembles and sorts the gaming machine, so that the sorting cost can be reduced and, for example, the reuse of the resin component member can be performed along with the efficiency of the sorting operation. As a result, resources can be used effectively.

In any of the Yu technique machine 0-8, the information holding means, a game machine 9, characterized in that the copying means printing is to hold the specific information of the resin component. Examples of the copying means include those in which unique information is printed using characters, symbols, drawings, etc. (so-called barcodes, QR codes, etc.) and those in which characters are engraved. Printing may be printed on a sticker or the like, or may be printed directly on a gaming machine (each member or the like). It should be noted that electrical storage means and copying means may be used together in one gaming machine (or member).

A gaming machine management comprising a manufacturer that manufactures gaming machines using resin components and supplies them to users, and a recycling facility that disassembles used gaming machines collected from the users and sorts the resin components a system, comprising one from Yu TECHNICAL machine 0 9, the recycling facility, a based on the unique information held in the information holding means having any of Yu TECHNICAL machine 0-9 is a resin component like A gaming machine management system 1 characterized by sorting.

  The selection of the resin component or the like refers to determining whether or not the resin component or the like is to be discarded or recycled, but the resin component or the like is not limited to the purpose of disposal or recycling. For example, an intermediate process such as sorting for each material is included. In addition, the resin component can be recycled by reusing the resin component as a recycled resin molding material (for example, by pulverizing it into a recycled resin granule or producing recycled pellets) Examples include reuse (so-called reuse).

  According to the gaming machine management system 1, the recycling facility can sort resin constituent members and the like based on the unique information held by the information holding means of the gaming machine. Therefore, for example, when selecting a resin component, etc., it is possible to easily recognize whether or not an internal structure that cannot be determined from its appearance, for example, whether or not a laminated structure portion is provided in the resin component or the like. Therefore, since it is unclear whether or not the resin component or the like is provided with a laminated structure portion, it is possible to prevent the resin component or the like from being discarded. Therefore, it is possible to effectively reuse resources without wasting wasteful resin components and the like.

  In addition, since a huge number of gaming machines accumulated in the recycling facility can be quickly processed based on specific information, labor saving and efficiency of the sorting work of workers who disassemble and sort gaming machines As a result, the processing cost of the used gaming machine can be reduced.

For example, the resin constituent members selected in the recycling facility are crushed. It may be installed in a secondary recycling facility.

  According to the gaming machine management system 2, the management device can read the unique information held in the information holding means by the reading means, and can display the read unique information on the display means. For example, in the case where a large number of resin components are used in one gaming machine, an operator who disassembles a used gaming machine and sorts the resin components only looks at the display means at the time of disassembly. Thus, the unique information of each resin constituent member and the like can be recognized, so that the selection of each resin constituent member and the like can be performed smoothly.

  In the gaming machine management system 1 or 2, the management device comprises a unique information storage means for storing and managing the unique information read by the reading means. The unique information storage means does not have to store all of the unique information read by the reading means, and may store only a part of the information included in the unique information.

  According to the gaming machine management system 3, the unique information read by the reading means can be stored in the unique information storage means. For example, gaming machines or resin components that are collected in the recycling facility are collected at once. And the location of these gaming machines and resin components can be accurately grasped.

  In the gaming machine management system 1 or 3, the management device includes graphic data storage means for storing graphic data, and graphic data corresponding to the unique information read by the reading means is illustrated on the display means. A gaming machine management system 4 characterized by the above. According to the gaming machine management system 4, for example, the shape of the resin component member, the position (area) where the laminated structure portion is disposed, and the like can be illustrated on the display means. Therefore, the operator who disassembles the used gaming machine and selects the resin component member can easily identify the resin component member based on the shape shown in the display means at the time of disassembly. Even an operator who is unfamiliar with the names of resin constituent members and the like can smoothly sort the resin constituent members and the like.

  In any one of the gaming machine management systems 1 to 4, the management device includes a sorting information storage unit that stores sorting information serving as a reference for sorting resin components and the like, and the display unit includes the sorting unit. A gaming machine management system 5 for displaying sorting information stored in an information storage means. Examples of the selection information include information for determining a resin component to be discarded, information for determining a resin component to be recycled (reused or reused), and the like. For example, in the information indicating the resin component to be discarded, for example, the material of the resin component and the number of times of regeneration are specified. Therefore, the operator who selects the resin constituent member can determine that the resin constituent member made of the material specified by the selection information and regenerated more than the specified number of times should be discarded.

  In any one of the gaming machine management systems 1 to 5, the management device includes a sorting information changing unit that changes the contents of the sorting information stored in the sorting information storage unit, and the display unit includes the sorting information. A gaming machine management system 6 for displaying sorting information changed by an information changing means.

For example, the terminal device may be installed in a molding manufacturer that injection-molds the resin component and delivers it to the manufacturer.

  According to the gaming machine management system 8, for example, a manufacturer or the like can transmit sorting information on its own gaming machines and resin components to a recycling facility through a line, so that the sorting information can be transmitted easily, quickly and accurately. Can be executed. Further, the sorting information transmitted from the terminal device of the manufacturer or the like to the management device is stored in the sorting information storage unit in place of the existing sorting information by the sorting information changing unit of the management device. Therefore, since the content of the sorting information stored in the sorting information storage means can be changed, the resin component member that is discarded or recycled by appropriately changing the content of the sorting information according to the situation or schedule of the manufacturer, etc. Etc. can be adjusted. Therefore, the manufacturer can uniquely determine the selection method of its own gaming machine, resin component, etc., and for example, the optimum number according to the manufacturer's planned number of manufactured products (the amount of recycled products to be used), etc. A sorting method can be selected, and it is possible to flexibly cope with processing of a huge amount of used gaming machines.
