Description

  The present invention relates to a variable winning device for a pachinko machine having an opening / closing door that is opened and closed by a solenoid on the front surface of an entrance.

A variable winning device having an opening / closing door at the entrance is generally referred to as a big winning device or a big winning opening, and is usually installed at a lower part of a game portion formed on the front surface of the game board.
This winning device is generally placed in a relationship with a variable display device installed in the center of the game unit. For example, when the “winning” in the variable display device is established, the open / close door on the front of the entrance is opened. It is used to release a large number of prize balls in a short time, allowing a large number of prize balls to jump in in a short time.

Therefore, the variable winning device will be used in combination with the variable display device. However, the size of the variable display device has been increased in accordance with the recent demand for dynamic elements of pachinko machines. There is a tendency that the space available for a limited number of game units is narrowed and the installation area for other parts is narrowed.
Under such circumstances, the variable prize winning device includes a drive source such as a solenoid for opening and closing the door, and in addition, a detection switch for detecting and counting the winning ball and a lamp for display or illumination are incorporated. In addition, because it has various parts such as incorporating a solenoid as the power to distribute the winning balls, it necessarily becomes large, which hinders the enlargement of the variable display device, that is, the expansion thereof. Yes.

  The reason why the variable winning device is large is that many parts are incorporated as described above, but in particular, a solenoid that drives the door and a winning ball sorting base that selects the winning port to be built in the device (swing). It is difficult to reduce the size of the solenoid that drives the moving plate), and at the same time, the plunger that transmits the operation requires a space for expansion and contraction. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare this space for the winning device itself. This is one factor that hinders the transformation.

Conventionally, in order to reduce the size of the variable prize winning device, a solenoid as a driving source is installed vertically behind the main body part constituting the winning room of the prize winning device, and the expansion / contraction direction of the plunger is set to an up / down direction so that the L-shaped A method has been proposed and implemented in which this vertical movement is converted to the front-rear direction via the swing arm and transmitted to the door (for example, Patent Document 1).
In this conventional example, by installing the solenoid vertically, the overall length of the winning device is reduced and contributes to downsizing. Also, the solenoid is placed behind it according to the vertical orientation of the solenoid. In addition, a board mounting base for mounting a relay board for the detection switch is arranged so that assembly such as wiring work can be easily performed.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-126212, paragraphs 0010 and 0011 in the detailed description of the invention, and FIGS. 2, 3, and 6 of the drawings.

However, although the conventional example has succeeded in reducing the overall size of the winning device, since the solenoid is arranged vertically, the thickness in the vertical direction increases, and as a result, below the variable display device installed above The expansion toward is not free.
Of course, this problem can be solved by downsizing the solenoid itself, but as described above, downsizing affects the output and makes it difficult to assemble during manufacture. It is not the best solution because it creates another problem.

  In view of the above-described conventional problems, the present invention enables the variable display device to be expanded downward by reducing the upper and lower thicknesses of the variable winning device itself, and at the same time, the installation position is limited as the thickness of the winning device is reduced. Relay board to be played (main control board for game control provided in the above-mentioned solenoid, detection switch, lamp for illumination or display, etc. installed in the winning device main body, and the pachinko machine main body or game board) The relay board for relaying and transmitting mutual signals and supplying power (hereinafter simply referred to as “relay board”) so that the board mounting base can be easily and stably incorporated. It is intended to provide an improved variable winning device.

  To reduce the vertical width of the winning device itself, that is, the thickness without reducing the size of the solenoid that drives the open / close door or the sorting table, the direction of the plunger is changed to the front-rear direction, the horizontal direction, that is, the horizontal direction, It is necessary to change the operating space of the plunger from the vertical width to the horizontal width, that is, the horizontal width. In this case, if the expansion / contraction operation direction of the plunger is the left / right direction, the power transmission mechanism for the open / close door that opens and closes is complicated, making it difficult to design and manufacture. It will be installed to expand and contract toward the.

  This lateral orientation of the solenoid in the front-rear direction is extremely effective in reducing the thickness of the winning device main body. However, the solenoid installation space becomes longer in the longitudinal direction along with the lateral orientation of the solenoid, and as a result, the board mounting base of the relay board provided behind the winning device is separated from the winning device main body. Assembly becomes difficult.

  The present invention has succeeded in improving the mounting of the board mounting base of the relay board, enabling easy and reliable lateral installation of the solenoid in the front-rear direction, and making the variable winning device thin up and down. is there.

  The variable prize-winning device currently manufactured is an injection-molded product made of synthetic resin. The main body is formed in a bowl shape centered on the prize-winning chamber that receives the winning ball, and a solenoid is assembled to this main-body. In addition, a method of assembling and completing a board mounting base of the relay board is employed. The variable winning device according to the conventional example is also made in the same manner.

  In the case where the solenoid and the board mounting base are assembled with the main body as the center, if the solenoid is installed sideways toward the front and rear as described above, the board mounting base is removed from the main body as it becomes longer in the front and rear direction. I will leave. As a result, a means for connecting between the mounting base and the main body is required. However, since the solenoid is interposed between the connecting means, the installation space is limited and the space is increased as the distance increases. The problem is that the strength decreases and it becomes difficult to obtain a strong support.

  The present invention improves this point, and allows the installation of a substrate mounting base in a limited space, and at the same time, a variable prize in which the upper and lower thicknesses are reduced to the maximum so that they can be mounted easily and stably. It made it possible to provide equipment.

  That is, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a contact support leg having a length that reaches the back of the main body from the board mounting base of the relay board that is placed behind the main body of the prize winning device across the solenoid. And a supporting leg with a locking claw at the tip, and the tip of the corresponding supporting leg abuts against the back surface of the main body, while the locking claw of the locking support is hooked on the locking portion provided on the main body. This is because the board mounting base is mounted by the cooperation of both of them.

  In the present invention, at least one supporting leg of the abutting supporting leg is integrally provided with a screwing abutting piece at the end of the leg, and the corresponding contacting piece and the back of the winning device main body (rear part of the main body) are screwed. Thus, a variable winning device is provided in which the substrate mounting base can be stably fixed by fixing a small number of screws.

Furthermore, if detailing where the feature of the present invention, the present invention has a winning compartment, provided with a flight inlet door to open the front of the winning chamber, the spheres were flying into the winning chamber it includes a main body portion comprising a detection switch for detecting that the Luso solenoids to drive the door to be attached to the rear of the main body portion, and a substrate mount for mounting a relay board for the solenoid and the detection switch A variable prize winning device , wherein the board mounting base has one or more abutment support legs having a length reaching the rear part of the main body part across the solenoid from behind , and a latch having a latching claw at the leg tip a support leg as well as extending at a predetermined interval from each other, the contact pieces to the leg end of the at least one abutment support leg of the contact support legs in the fixed support legs integrally provided, the locking stop Mel over locking pawl of the stop support leg to the locking portion of the main body portion Write, and wherein the mounting Turkey behind the main portion of the substrate mount in a state straddling the solenoid by screws to the rear of the fixed support legs via the contact piece the body portion It is to provide a variable winning device.

  According to the present invention, the board mounting base is formed in a rectangular plate shape, and at least one abutment support leg is disposed on one of the upper and lower edges, and the locking support leg is disposed on the other edge. It is to provide a variable winning device characterized.

  Further, according to the present invention, the board mounting base is formed in a rectangular plate shape, and at least two abutment support legs are arranged at intervals on the lower edge, and at least one latch is provided on the upper edge. An object of the present invention is to provide a variable prize winning device characterized by arranging a support leg.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a variable winning device characterized in that a screw hole is provided in a contact piece provided at a leg end of the fixed support leg .

  It is another object of the present invention to provide a variable prize winning device characterized in that the latching pawl of the latching support leg is latched by a solenoid mounting bracket fixed to the main body.

  According to the present invention, a pair of locking pieces having inward locking claws are provided on opposite edges of the back surface of the board mounting base, and at least one of the locking pieces is an elastic locking piece for relaying. It is an object of the present invention to provide a variable prize winning device characterized in that it is latched and fixed to opposite edges of a substrate.

Needless to say, the variable winning device according to the present invention is not limited to the solenoid device centering on the main body of the winning device. The winning device is assembled and completed by individually molding the parts and joining them together.
Among them, the winning device main body is the center for assembling all the components, and the rear portion is provided with a locking portion for attaching the board mounting base of the board together with the solenoid.

The substrate mounting base is injection-molded using a synthetic resin as a material in the same manner as the main body, and a plurality of contact or locking support legs are integrally formed. The back surface of the board mounting base is provided with a locking piece for freely locking and disengaging the relay board so that it can be fitted and attached.
This board mounting base is formed in a plate shape, and the shape is combined with the relay board on which the board is mounted. And the said supporting leg is extended in the one surface orient | assigned ahead, and the said locking piece is provided in the other surface, ie, a back part.

  Each of the supporting legs for stopping the board mounting base on the main body extends straight so as to avoid a solenoid attached to the back of the main body, and each leg end is formed to a length reaching the back surface of the main body. Among these support legs, a plurality of abutment support legs are extended at an appropriate interval, and at least one of the abutment support legs is provided with a contact piece at the end of the leg and is connected to the winning device main body by a screw. Use fixed support legs that are fixed directly.

  In addition, among the support legs, a lock support leg having a lock claw at the end of the leg extends at a required interval from the contact support leg, and the board mounting base moves forward by the contact of the contact support leg. On the other hand, the rearward movement is restricted by hooking the locking claw on the main body portion, and a firm and stable attachment is performed.

In order to more effectively restrain the movement in the front-rear direction by these two types of support legs and to facilitate the mounting operation, the contact support legs and the locking support legs stand upright relative to the upper and lower edges of the board mounting base. Will be extended.
In particular, a contact support leg (fixed support leg) that is provided with a contact piece and is fixed to the main body by a screw is conveniently provided at the edge of the board mounting base in order to facilitate the screwing of the screw. When the latching pawl is latched, the latching pawl is preferably extended from the edge of the board mounting base because it is latched while being bent by an external operation due to the elasticity of the material.

  In this way, the board mounting base that is integrally provided with the contact support legs and the locking support legs is molded from synthetic resin, and the solenoid is fixed to the main body of the winning device and assembled. The support leg is inserted into the back of the main body and the back of the main body is abutted to restrain the forward movement, while the locking claw of the locking support is hooked on the locking part of the main body and is moved backward. Constraint movement. Thereafter, a contact support leg (fixed support leg) having a contact piece is screwed directly to the back surface portion of the main body through a screw hole provided in the contact piece, and the attachment of the mounting base is completed.

The mounting base is fixed by screwing the one abutment support leg, more specifically, the fixed support leg to the main body, and is attached in a state of straddling the solenoid.
And, the mounted board mounting base is moved back and forth by the abutment support legs and the locking support legs, so that the edge provided with the locking support legs can move as long as the locked state is maintained even if it receives force from the side. Therefore, when this locking support leg is extended from the upper edge portion, it is possible to exert a strong support force against pressing from above.

  Of course, in the practice of the present invention, each support leg of the mounting base is formed to have a length that can reach the back of the main body beyond the length of the solenoid that is interposed between the mounting base and the solenoid. However, when the part which receives the leg ends of these support legs on the main body side is extended rearward, it goes without saying that the length corresponding to the extended length is shortened.

  As described above, the present invention extends the contact support leg and the locking support leg that reach the back surface portion of the main body portion beyond the solenoid that is attached to the back surface portion of the main body portion from the board mounting base, Because it abuts the part and restrains the movement in the front-rear direction by latching the other, direct fixing to the body part is the fixing of one or two abutment support legs (fixed support legs) with locking pieces Is sufficient, and therefore very simple and easy to install. Further, in this mounting, the abutment support leg and the locking support leg jointly restrain the back-and-forth movement of the board mounting base, so that it can be stably fixed, and it is simple in a complicated structure straddling the solenoid. Has the advantage of being mounted.

  In addition, since the length of the support leg of the board mounting base can be freely selected at the time of manufacture, it is not affected by the length of the front and rear of the solenoid, and therefore the laterally oriented solenoid does not become an obstacle, so that the variable prize winning device can reduce the vertical thickness. There are advantages that can be advantageously implemented in the manufacture of

  A plurality of abutting support legs are extended from one edge, preferably the lower edge, on one side of the plate-shaped board mounting base at a required interval, and leg ends of at least one of the abutting support legs. An abutment piece is provided on the base to provide a fixed support leg. On the other hand, at least one locking leg piece having a locking claw at the tip is extended from the other edge (upper edge) of the substrate mounting base, and a plurality of supporting legs are integrally provided. And the attachment part of a relay board is formed in the other surface side, and attachment of a relay board is enabled.

The support leg is inserted across the back of the solenoid for attaching the board mounting base to the back part of the winning device main body, and the leg ends of the contact support legs are brought into contact with the back part of the main body part, and the locking support legs. The latching claw of the abutment is hooked on the latching portion provided on the back surface portion to restrain the back and forth movement, and then the screw is directly screwed to the back surface portion through the screw in the screw hole formed in the contact piece of the fixed support leg of the contact support leg. Attach the board mounting base to the back part of the main body of the winning device, and attach the relay board.

Simultaneously with this operation, the locking claw 69 of the locking support leg 70 is hooked.
Of these, the abutment support 66 abuts a receiving portion 73 provided on the main body portion 18 with a contact piece 66a at the end of the leg, and a screw 74 passed through the screw hole 71 is inserted into the receiving portion 73 and fixed thereto (FIG. 9). reference). On the other hand, the abutting support leg 67 abuts the abutting piece 67a against the receiving portion 75 of the main body portion and squeezes a screw (not shown) that passes through the screw hole 71 into the receiving portion 75 to be fixed.

In this embodiment, the abutment support leg 68 is brought into contact with the mounting bracket 28 to which the solenoid 20 is attached, and the locking support leg 70 is engaged with the locking claw 69 on the edge of the mounting bracket 28. ing.
FIG. 12 explains this relationship. The abutment support leg 68 is brought into contact with the rear surface of the mounting bracket 28 fixed via the support column 39 provided in the main body portion 18, and the locking support leg 70 is also latched on the edge of the mounting bracket 28. The two support legs 68 and 70 are sandwiched from the front and rear.

  Here, the mounting bracket 28 is used to fasten the two support legs 68 and 70 by ensuring that the claw 69 of the locking support leg 70 is latched. Instead, the abutment support 68 may be brought into contact directly with the back surface portion of the main body portion 18, and a locking portion may be provided on the back surface portion to directly latch the locking claw 69.

  Thus, the board mounting base 60 thus configured has the contact support legs 66, 67, 68 and the locking support legs 70 inserted into and contacted with the back surface of the main body 18, and then the contact pieces of the fixed support legs 66, 67. If the latching claw 69 of the latching support leg 70 is latched using elasticity, it can be attached to the main body portion 18 across the solenoid.

  Here, an example in which the substrate mounting base 60 is fixed by four abutment or locking support legs has been described. In this case, stable support is expected if the support legs are arranged in a distributed manner and supported uniformly. it can. Of course, the use of four support legs is for efficient support with a small number of support legs. Therefore, the number of support legs may be three or five.

  However, the fixed support leg 67 is not only used as an abutment support leg but also added as a bearing means for the support shaft 30. Therefore, if this bearing method is changed to another, it can be omitted. is there. However, the use of the fixed support legs 67 in this way has an advantage that the assembly structure for supporting the support shaft 30 in a complicated structure becomes simple, so that the assembly of the winning device main body can be facilitated.

  By the way, in this embodiment, the contact support legs including the fixed support legs 66 and 67 are provided at the lower edge part of the board mounting base 60 and the locking support legs 70 are provided at the upper edge part. Besides being improved, it can be firmly attached with a small number of support legs. In particular, here, when a load is applied to the mounting base 70 from above, the lower abutment support leg serves as a support, and the upper locking support leg 70 is secured against being pulled apart.

  The relay board 61 is connected to the main control board as described above, and wiring from the boards such as the solenoids 20, 21 and the detection switches 22, 23 is concentrated. A connector and the like are provided integrally. Then, after the board is mounted on the board mounting base 60, a main control board, solenoid, etc. (not shown) are connected via the connector, and the set is completed.

  In the figure, 76 and 77 are decorative boards to be attached to the front surface of the mounting board 12, 78 and 79 are winning pockets provided on the front face of the decorative board, and 80 and 81 are winning balls that have entered the respective winning pockets. Numerals 82 and 83 are detection switches assembled to the ridges 80 and 81 to detect the winning balls.

  The present invention winning device 11 configured as described above is arranged on the game board 1 in the same manner as the so-called large winning opening described above, and is set to operate in conjunction with the variable display device 7 here. In other words, when the hit ball enters the start winning opening 10 and the symbol displayed on the variable display device 7 shows “winning” as a result of lottery by the game control device (main control board), the solenoid 21 is excited. The opening / closing door 14 of the entrance 13 tilts forward and opens through the swinging of the swinging plate 44 so that the hit ball can enter.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, at the same time, the other solenoid 20 is excited to incline the sorting table 19 to the left and to preferentially direct the pachinko ball that enters from the entrance 13 to the special winning opening. Done.
Needless to say, in this embodiment, as described above, an example in which the distribution table 19 built in the winning room 17 and the solenoid 20 that drives the distribution table 19 are provided has been described. It does not impede the implementation of the doors 14 and their solenoids 21 provided with these omitted. These are freely selected in the design of the variable winning device.

Now, when the next opening is determined by the winning ball that entered in the above state entering the specific winning hole 38, the solenoid 20 is demagnetized and the connecting arm 31 is moved forward by the bias of the spring 34. Then, the sorting table 19 is tilted to the left and the incoming ball is preferentially guided toward the general winning opening.
The number of passages of the ball that has entered the general winning opening 37 is counted by the detection switch 22, and the door 14 is closed when there is a predetermined number, for example, 10 passing balls. When the continuation is secured, the door 14 opens again, and the solenoid 20 is excited to tilt the sorting table 19 downward. And when there is no continuation, it remains blocked.

  The variable prize-winning device of the present invention configured as described above can be installed vertically on the back side of the prize-winning device main body 18 with the solenoids 20, 21 extending rearward, and the board mounting base 60 can be mounted from the back beyond the solenoid. It is possible to provide a variable winning device with a reduced thickness in the direction. Accordingly, since the space above the winning device can be expanded as described above, the device such as a variable display device can be expanded.

  Further, according to the present invention, when the board mounting base 60 is mounted, if at least one fixed support leg 66 or fixed support leg 67 among the contact support legs is screwed through the contact piece 66a or 67a, the other contact is achieved. A firm mounting is achieved by adding the abutment of the support leg and the latching support of the locking support leg 70. In this case, the other abutment support leg only needs to be inserted toward the main body 18, The locking support leg 70 is bent due to the elasticity as it is inserted, and the locking claw 69 is hooked on the main body 18 so that it can be mounted by a very simple operation.

Of course, since the board mounting base 60 can be molded from a synthetic resin, it can be integrally formed including supporting legs, and the length of each supporting leg can be freely selected based on the design. The winning device itself can be made thin without interfering with the installation of the solenoid to be installed.
Further, since this board mounting base is provided with a mounting portion on the back surface, it is easy to attach the relay board, and since it is easy to replace, there is an advantage that it is possible to easily cope with a change in game settings.
