Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pachinko ball launching device that launches a launcher with a launching force according to an operation amount of a launching operation unit of the pachinko machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A general pachinko ball launching device adjusts the resistance value of the rotary variable resistor by turning the launching operation handle, and adjusts the voltage applied to the launching motor according to the resistance value to increase the firing force of the pachinko ball. I try to adjust it.
[0003]
In this case, if the launch motor is driven immediately when the launch operation of the launch operation handle is started, the amount of rotation operation of the launch operation handle is small, and the pachinko ball launched at the time when sufficient launch force cannot be obtained is placed on the game board surface. Instead of being launched, it becomes a foul ball and goes back on the firing rail. In this state, the pachinko balls that are sequentially fired collide with the previous foul balls one after another on the firing rail to form a foul ball, and it is difficult to launch the pachinko balls on the game board surface.
[0004]
Therefore, in order to prevent a foul ball at the start of the launch operation, a launch switch that is turned on when the launch operation handle is rotated by a predetermined angle is provided, and the launch operation is prohibited until the launch switch is turned on at the start of the launch operation. There is one in which the launching operation is started after the launching switch is turned on so that the launching force at the start of the launching operation becomes the launching force capable of launching the pachinko ball on the game board surface.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, even with a pachinko ball launcher equipped with the launch switch, the degree of flight of the pachinko ball changes due to manufacturing variations, aging, board exchange, and the like. Therefore, from the viewpoint of foul ball prevention at the start of the launch operation, it is preferable to set the launch force at the start of the launch operation to a certain extent with some allowance in consideration of variation in the flying condition. It becomes impossible to hit the game board as close to the inside as possible [because the minimum firing force during the game is determined by the position of the launch switch (the launch force at the start of the launch operation)]. For this reason, from the viewpoint of game play, it is preferable to set the launch force (minimum launch force) at the start of launch operation as low as possible within the range that can prevent foul balls. It is necessary to adjust the position of the switch, or to adjust the variable resistor for adjusting the unevenness separately from the variable resistor for launching operation. It takes a lot of work to do every pachinko machine.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in consideration of such circumstances. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to prevent a foul ball at the start of the launch operation without adjusting the launch force for each pachinko machine, and to It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko ball launching device that can adjust the launching force of a pachinko ball to a launching force that is weaker than that at the start of the launching operation and can expand the operating range of the launching force.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  The invention according to claim 1 is a pachinko ball launching device for launching a launcher with a launching force according to an operation amount of a launching operation unit of the pachinko machine.When starting the launcher,Launch control unit from its initial positionEquivalent to a launch force that can launch a pachinko ball onto the game boardFirstTo the operation positionManipulateWhen starting the launching operation of the launcher by the launch start means when making it, and when stopping the launching operation of the launcher,A second position between the initial position and the first operating position;Move the launch control unit to the operating position.ReturnWhen operated, the launcher's launching operation is stopped by launching stop means.In addition, after the launch operation is started by the launch start means, the launch operation unit is located between the first operation position (launch operation start position) and the second operation position (launch operation stop position). The second feature is that the pachinko ball is fired with a launching force that is weaker than that at the start of the launching operation and can launch the pachinko ball onto the game board surface when positioned.In this way, it is possible to set the launch force at the start of the launch operation with a certain margin, taking into account variations in manufacturing, aging, variation in the pachinko ball flight due to board replacement, etc. The foul ball at the start of the launch operation can be reliably prevented without adjusting the launch force for each pachinko machine as in the past. Moreover, after starting the launch operation,By operating the launch operation unit between the first operation position (launching operation start position) and the second operation position (launching operation stop position), the launch force can be increased within a range in which the pachinko ball can be launched on the game board surface. Can be weaker than at the start of launchingTherefore, it is possible to make a weak way to hit the game board as much as possible during the game.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[Embodiment (1)]
  Hereinafter, the present inventionAs a reference example related toEmbodiment (1) is demonstrated based on FIG. First, the circuit configuration of the pachinko ball launcher will be described. A rotary variable resistor 13 for converting a rotation operation amount of the firing operation handle 12 into an electric signal is provided inside the firing operation handle 12 (launching operation unit). The rotary variable resistor 13 is rotated by the turning operation of the firing operation handle 12, the resistance value of the rotary variable resistor 13 is adjusted, and the firing operation voltage Vs corresponding to the resistance value is set to the firing control circuit 14. Is input. Further, the firing operation handle 12 is provided with a firing switch 15 (launching operation detecting means) that is turned on when the player touches the hand and rotates, and an on signal of the firing switch 15 is a delay described later. The signal is input to the launch control circuit 14 via the circuit 16.
[0012]
The firing control circuit 14 adjusts the voltage applied to the firing motor 17 (launcher) by, for example, PWM control according to the firing operation voltage Vs from the rotary variable resistor 13 when the ON signal of the firing switch 15 is input. Thereby, the torque of the launch motor 17 is adjusted to adjust the launch force of the pachinko ball.
[0013]
  On the other hand, the delay circuit 16 prohibits the output of the ON signal to the firing control circuit 14 until a predetermined time has elapsed after the firing switch 15 is turned on, and the predetermined time after the firing switch 15 is turned on. After elapses, an ON signal is output to the firing control circuit 14. As a result, the firing operation of the firing motor 17 is prohibited until a predetermined time elapses after the player starts turning the firing operation handle 12 (the firing switch 15 is turned on).. ThisHere, the predetermined time is set to a time slightly longer than the time required for the player to operate to the operation position corresponding to the launch force that can launch the pachinko ball on the game board surface after starting to operate the launch operation handle 12. ing.
[0014]
In the pachinko ball launching device configured as described above, the firing operation of the firing motor 17 is performed after a predetermined time has elapsed since the player turned the firing operation handle 12 to turn on the firing switch 15. Start. As a result, when the launch operation is started, the launch operation of the launch motor 17 is started when the launch operation handle 12 is operated to the operation position corresponding to the launch force capable of launching the pachinko ball on the game board surface. From the beginning, it is possible to launch a pachinko ball with a launching force sufficient to launch the pachinko ball onto the game board surface, preventing a foul ball at the start of the launching operation and starting the game early.
[0015]
After starting the firing operation, the firing motor 17 is fired with a firing force according to the firing operation voltage Vs, and then the firing switch 15 is returned when the firing operation handle 12 is returned to the firing stop position (position where the firing switch 15 is turned off). Is turned off, and the firing operation of the firing motor 17 is stopped. Thereby, after starting the launch operation, the launch force of the pachinko ball can be adjusted to a weaker launch force than at the start of the launch operation, and a weak way of hitting the pachinko ball to the edge of the game board can be achieved.
[0016]
Therefore, as before, without adjusting the launch force for each pachinko machine, it is possible to achieve both the prevention of the foul ball at the start of launch operation and the expansion of the operation range of the launch force. The resistor can be omitted.
[0017]
In the embodiment (1), the delay circuit 16 is provided between the launch switch 15 and the launch control circuit 14, and the ON signal of the launch switch 15 is changed until the predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the launch operation. 14 is prohibited, however, a delay circuit is provided between the rotary variable resistor 13 and the firing control circuit 14, and the rotary variable resistor is used until a predetermined time elapses from the start of the firing operation. The firing operation voltage Vs of the device 13 may be prohibited from being input to the firing control circuit 14.
[0018]
[Embodiment (2)]
Next, Embodiment (2) of this invention is demonstrated using FIG.2 and FIG.3.
In this embodiment (2), the firing operation voltage Vs adjusted by the resistance value of the rotary variable resistor 13 is applied to the non-inverting input terminal (+) of the first comparator 19 and the inverting input terminal of the second comparator 20. Input to (-). The firing start voltage Von adjusted by the first variable resistor 21 is input to the inverting input terminal (−) of the first comparator 19, and the output terminal of the comparator 19 is connected to the ON terminal of the firing control circuit 14. Has been. Further, the firing stop voltage Voff adjusted by the second variable resistor 23 is inputted to the non-inverting input terminal (+) of the second comparator 20, and the output terminal of the comparator 20 is turned off of the firing control circuit 14. Connected to the terminal. The variable resistors 21 and 23 may be replaced with fixed resistors or semi-fixed resistors.
[0019]
Here, the firing start voltage Von is a voltage value corresponding to a firing force sufficient to launch the pachinko ball onto the game board surface in consideration of manufacturing variations, secular changes, and variations in pachinko ball flight due to board exchange, etc. Is set to The firing stop voltage Voff is set to a voltage value corresponding to a launching force that allows the pachinko ball to be launched to the surface of the game board (Von> Voff).
[0020]
  Next, the operation of the pachinko ball launcher of this embodiment (2) will be described.
  When the player rotates the firing operation handle 12 and the firing operation voltage Vs rises and exceeds the firing start voltage Von, the output of the first comparator 19 is inverted to a high level, and this high level signal is used for launch control. Input to the ON terminal of the circuit 14 starts the firing operation of the firing motor 17 (see FIG. 3).The position at which this firing operation is started corresponds to the first operation position in the claims.The ON signal from the output of the first comparator 19 is held by a latch circuit (not shown) until the next OFF signal from the output of the second comparator 20 is input. In this case, the first comparator 19 functions as a firing start means in the claims.
[0021]
  During the game, when the firing operation handle 12 is returned and the firing operation voltage Vs drops and becomes equal to or lower than the firing stop voltage Voff, the output of the second comparator 20 is inverted to a high level, and this high level signal is sent to the firing control circuit 14. The firing operation of the firing motor 17 is stopped (see FIG. 3).The position where the firing operation is stopped corresponds to the second operation position in the claims.In this case, the second comparator 20 functions as a firing stop means in the claims.
[0022]
According to this embodiment (2) described above, the firing start voltage Von (launching power at the start of launching operation) is taken into consideration of manufacturing variations, secular changes, variations in pachinko ball flight due to board replacement, etc. When the firing operation voltage Vs exceeds the firing start voltage Von, the firing operation of the firing motor 17 is performed when a voltage corresponding to the firing force sufficient to launch the pachinko ball onto the game board surface with a certain margin is set. Since it was started, it is possible to launch a pachinko ball with sufficient launching force to launch the pachinko ball on the game board surface from the beginning of the launch operation without adjusting the firing force for each pachinko machine as in the past And foul balls can be reliably prevented.
[0023]
In addition, with a hysteresis in the switching of the firing operation / stopping the firing, the firing stop voltage Voff is set to a voltage equivalent to the launching force that can strike the pachinko ball on the game board surface. Since the firing operation of the launch motor 17 is stopped when the firing stop voltage Voff or lower, the launch force of the pachinko ball can be adjusted to a weaker launch force than that at the start of the launch operation after the launch operation is started. In addition, it is possible to make a weak hit like hitting a pachinko ball as close as possible to the game board surface, and the operating range of the firing force can be expanded.
[0024]
Further, even if compared with the embodiment (1) and embodiments (3) and (4) which will be described later, it is not necessary to adjust the position of the switch and the switch operation section, or to install the switch itself. As a result, assembly can be simplified.
[0025]
[Embodiment (3)]
The embodiment (3) of the present invention shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 is an embodiment in which hysteresis is provided in the switching of the firing operation / stop of firing by a mechanical method.
In the present embodiment (3), as shown in FIG. 4, the launch operation handle 12 is provided with a launch start switch 25 and a launch stop switch 26, and the launch start switch 25 is connected to the ON terminal of the launch control circuit 14. The launch stop switch 26 is connected to the OFF terminal of the launch control circuit 14.
[0026]
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a first protrusion 29 for operating the firing start switch 25 and a firing stop switch 26 are provided on the outer periphery of the rotating body 28 that rotates integrally with the firing operation handle 12. The 2nd convex part 30 for making it act | operate is provided 180 degrees apart, for example in the rotation direction.
[0027]
  The firing operation handle 12 is pivotable clockwise from the initial position shown in FIG. 5A to the maximum rotational position [see FIG. 5C]. A position away from the first convex portion 29 by a predetermined firing start angle θon in the clockwise direction(First operation position)Is located at a predetermined firing stop angle θoff in the clockwise direction from the second convex portion 30.(Second operation position)A firing stop switch 26 is disposed on the screen. Where the firing start angle θon(First operation position)The rotation angle of the launching operation handle 12 corresponding to the launching force sufficient to launch the pachinko ball onto the game board surface in consideration of manufacturing variations, secular changes, and variations in the pachinko ball flight due to board exchange, etc. For example, 30 °. Also, the firing stop angle θoff(Second operation position)Is set to the rotation angle (rotation operation amount) of the firing operation handle 12 corresponding to the launching force that can strike the pachinko ball as close as possible to the game board surface, for example, 15 °.
[0028]
When the player turns the firing operation handle 12 and the turning angle of the firing operation handle 12 reaches the firing start angle θon as shown in FIG. 5B, the first convex portion 29 is turned on by the firing start switch. The actuator 25 is pressed to turn it on, and the firing operation of the firing motor 17 is started. The ON signal of the firing start switch 25 is held by a latch circuit (not shown) until the firing stop switch 26 is turned on next time. In this case, the firing start switch 25, the rotating body 28, and the first convex portion 29 function as firing start means in the claims.
[0029]
During the game, as shown in FIG. 5D, when the rotation angle of the firing operation handle 12 is returned to the firing operation stop angle θoff, the second convex portion 30 pushes the actuator of the launch stop switch 26 to The on operation is performed and the firing operation of the firing motor 17 is stopped. In this case, the firing stop switch 26, the rotating body 28, and the second convex portion 30 function as firing stopping means in the claims.
[0030]
In the embodiment (3) described above, the foul ball at the start of the launch operation can be prevented without adjusting the launch force for each pachinko machine, and the pachinko ball is launched after the launch operation is started. The force can be adjusted to a weaker firing force than at the start of the firing operation.
[0031]
In addition, in combination with the method of the embodiment (2), it is possible to obtain the same effect by using a comparator instead of either the firing start switch 25 or the firing stop switch 26.
[0032]
[Embodiment (4)]
The embodiment (4) of the present invention shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 also has a hysteresis in the switching of the firing operation / stop of firing by a mechanical method.
In this embodiment (4), the firing operation handle 12 is provided with one firing switch 32, and this firing switch 32 is connected to the firing control circuit 14.
[0033]
As shown in FIG. 7, the second rotating body 35 is coaxially rotatable on the outer peripheral side of the first rotating body 34 that rotates integrally with the firing operation handle 12, and has an external action. As long as there is no, it is provided to hold the position. The protrusion 37 provided on the outer peripheral portion of the first rotating body 34 enters the recess 38 formed on the inner peripheral portion of the second rotating body 35, and the first rotating body 34 is rotated. The second rotating body 35 is rotated by the protrusion 37 coming into contact with the side wall of the recess 38. In this case, the hysteresis characteristic of the firing operation / launching stop is set according to the width of the recess 38 in the rotational direction. A convex portion 36 for turning on the firing switch 32 is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the second rotating body 35 so as to extend in the rotation direction. The rotary variable resistor 13 for adjusting the firing force (launching operation voltage Vs) rotates integrally with the firing operation handle 12.
[0034]
The firing operation handle 12 can be rotated clockwise from the initial position shown in FIG. 7A to the maximum rotational position [see FIG. 7C], and at the initial position of the firing operation handle 12, The firing switch 32 is disposed at a position slightly away from the convex portion 36 in the clockwise direction.
[0035]
In the initial position of the firing operation handle 12 shown in FIG. 7A, the protrusion 37 is in contact with the left side wall of the recess 38. When the firing operation handle 12 is rotated clockwise from this state, the first rotating body 34 rotates clockwise together with the protrusion 37, but the protrusion 37 rotates in the recess 38 in the clockwise direction. During the movement, the second rotating body 35 does not rotate.
[0036]
  Thereafter, when the projecting portion 37 comes into contact with the right side wall of the concave portion 38, the firing operation handle 12, the first rotating body 34, and the second rotating body 35 are integrally rotated in the clockwise direction. As shown in (b), the rotation angle of the firing operation handle 12 is the firing start angle θon.(First operation position), The convex portion 36 on the outer periphery of the second rotating body 35 pushes the actuator of the firing switch 32 to turn it on, and the firing operation of the firing motor 17 is started. Here, the launch start angle θon is a rotation corresponding to a launch force sufficient to launch the pachinko ball onto the game board surface in consideration of manufacturing variations, secular changes, and variations in the pachinko ball flight due to board exchange, etc. The angle is set, for example, 30 °.
[0037]
After starting the firing operation, as shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C, the firing switch 32 is formed by the convex portion 36 on the outer periphery of the second rotating body 35 in the range from the firing operation start position to the maximum rotation position. Is maintained in the ON state, and the firing force of the firing motor 17 is adjusted according to the firing operation voltage Vs according to the rotation angle of the firing operation handle 12.
[0038]
  At this time, when the firing operation handle 12 is turned counterclockwise so that the protrusion 37 comes into contact with the left side wall of the recess 38, the firing operation handle 12, the first rotating body 34, and the second rotation. The three members of the body 35 integrally rotate in the counterclockwise direction. Then, as shown in FIG. 7 (d), the firing operation stop position (launching stop angle θoff) where the firing operation handle 12 is set slightly before the initial position.: Second operation position), The convex portion 36 on the outer periphery of the second rotating body 35 moves away from the firing switch 32, the firing switch 32 is turned off, and the firing operation of the firing motor 17 is stopped. Therefore, until the firing operation handle 12 is returned to the firing operation stop position, the firing switch 32 is held in the on state by the convex portion 36 on the outer periphery of the second rotating body 35, and according to the rotation angle of the firing operation handle 12. The firing force of the firing motor 17 is adjusted according to the firing operation voltage Vs. The firing operation stop position (launching stop angle θoff) is set to a position corresponding to a launching force that can strike a pachinko ball right on the surface of the game board.
[0039]
In this case, the firing force when the launch operation is stopped is lower than the launch force at the start of the launch operation by a rotation angle corresponding to the width in the rotation direction of the recess 38, and is the same as in each of the above embodiments. The effect of can be obtained. Here, the protrusion 37 is provided on the first rotating body 34 and the recess 38 is provided on the second rotating body 35, but conversely, the recess is provided on the first rotating body 34. The second rotating body 35 may have a protrusion.
[0040]
In the embodiment (4) described above, the firing switch 32, the first rotating body 34, the protruding portion 37, the second rotating body 35, the recessed portion 38, and the protruding portion 36 are the firing start means and the firing referred to in the claims. Acts as a stopping means.
[0041]
The firing start switch 25, the firing stop switch 26, and the firing switch 32 used in the above embodiments (3) and (4) may be contact type switches such as microswitches, but non-contact type switches such as optical sensors. A switch may be used.
[0042]
[Embodiment (5)]
  In each of the above embodiments, the firing operation / stop of the firing motor 17 is controlled by hardware, but the present invention shown in FIG.As a reference example related toIn the embodiment (5), control equivalent to that in the embodiment (1) is realized by software. Therefore, the hardware configuration of the pachinko ball launching apparatus of the present embodiment (5) may be the same as the conventional one.
[0043]
In this embodiment (5), the firing control circuit controls the firing operation / launch stop of the firing motor by executing the control program shown in FIG. 8 at each firing timing. When this program is started, first, in step 101, the firing operation voltage Vs output from the rotary variable resistor for firing operation is read, and in the next step 102, it is determined whether or not the firing operation is stopped. . If the firing operation is stopped, the process proceeds to step 103, where it is determined from the firing operation voltage Vs whether or not the firing operation of the firing operation handle has been started. If the firing operation has not been started, the program is terminated. To do.
[0044]
Thereafter, when it is determined in step 103 that the firing operation of the firing operation handle has been started, the process proceeds to step 104, where it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the firing operation. Here, the predetermined time is set to a time slightly longer than the time required for the player to operate to the operation position corresponding to the launch force that can launch the pachinko ball on the game board surface after starting to operate the launch operation handle 12. Has been.
[0045]
  Before a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the firing operation, it is determined as “No” in step 104, the present program is terminated without performing the firing operation start process (step 105), and the firing operation is not started. Thereafter, after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the launch operation, the process proceeds to step 105, where the launch operation of the launch motor is started with a launch force corresponding to the launch operation voltage Vs..
[0046]
After starting the firing operation, the process proceeds from step 102 to step 106, and it is determined whether or not the firing operation voltage Vs is equal to or lower than the firing stop voltage Voff. Here, the firing stop voltage Voff is set to a voltage value corresponding to the launching force to the extent that the pachinko ball can be launched at the edge of the game board (Voff = 0 may be used).
[0047]
If the firing operation voltage Vs is higher than the firing stop voltage Voff, the process proceeds to step 107, and the firing motor 17 is fired with a firing force according to the firing operation voltage Vs. Thereafter, when it is determined in step 106 that the firing operation voltage Vs is equal to or lower than the firing stop voltage Voff, the process proceeds to step 108 and the firing operation of the firing motor 17 is stopped.
[0048]
In the embodiment (5) described above, the firing operation / shooting stop control of the firing motor 17 of the embodiment (1) can be performed without providing the firing switch 15 and the delay circuit 16, and the configuration is simplified. There are advantages you can do.
[0049]
[Embodiment (6)]
In the embodiment (6) of the present invention, control equivalent to that in the embodiment (2) is realized by software. Therefore, the hardware configuration of the pachinko ball launching apparatus of the present embodiment (6) may be the same as the conventional one.
[0050]
In the present embodiment (6), the firing operation / stop of the firing motor is controlled by executing the control program shown in FIG. 9 at each firing timing by the firing control circuit. The program of FIG. 9 is obtained by changing the processing of steps 103 and 104 of the program of FIG. 8 described in the embodiment (5) to the processing of step 104a, and the other steps are the same as those of FIG.
[0051]
In this program, when it is determined in step 102 that the firing operation is stopped, the process proceeds to step 104a, and it is determined whether or not the firing operation voltage Vs is equal to or higher than the firing start voltage Von. Here, the firing start voltage Von is set to a voltage value corresponding to a launching force sufficient to launch a pachinko ball onto the game board surface.
[0052]
If the firing operation voltage Vs is lower than the firing start voltage Von, this program is terminated without performing the firing operation start process (step 105), and the firing operation is not started. Thereafter, when it is determined that the firing operation voltage Vs is equal to or higher than the firing start voltage Von, the process proceeds to step 105, and the firing operation of the firing motor 17 is started with a firing force corresponding to the firing operation voltage Vs. In this case, the process of step 104a serves as a launching start unit as defined in the claims, and the process of step 106 serves as a launching stop unit as defined in the claims.
[0053]
In the embodiment (6) described above, the firing operation / fire stop control of the firing motor 17 of the embodiment (2) can be performed without providing the comparators 19 and 20 and the variable resistors 21 and 23. There is an advantage that the configuration can be simplified.
[0054]
In the above embodiments (2) to (6), the firing force when the launching operation is stopped is set to a launching force that allows the pachinko ball to strike the game board. However, the firing force is set to be weaker than this. It goes without saying that it is also good. Further, the present invention can be applied to a launcher using a solenoid instead of the launch motor.
[0057]
