Description

本発明は弾球遊技機に関し、特に、遊技球を貯留する貯留タンクに可撓性の球受け部材を付設した弾球遊技機に関する。 The present invention relates to a ball game machine, and more particularly to a ball game machine in which a flexible ball receiving member is attached to a storage tank that stores game balls.

従来、遊技ホールの島構造体に設置されるパチンコ機やアレンジボール機（組合せ式弾球遊技機）や雀球機等の弾球遊技機の多くは、遊技球を貯留する貯留タンク、遊技球を払出す払出し手段、貯留タンクの導出口から導出された遊技球を払出し手段へ案内するタンクレールを備えている。 Conventionally, most of the ball game machines such as pachinko machines, arrange ball machines (combined ball game machines) and sparrow ball machines installed on the island structure of the game hall are storage tanks or game balls for storing game balls. And a tank rail for guiding game balls derived from the outlet of the storage tank to the dispensing means.

この種の弾球遊技機は、島構造体に複数並べて設置されるが、島構造体の内部には球供給用搬送路が設けられ、各弾球遊技機において、遊技球の払出しが行われると、貯留タンクに貯留されている遊技球も減るため、その都度、前記球供給用搬送路を介して搬送されてきた遊技球が貯留タンクに供給（補給）される（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 A plurality of this type of ball game machines are installed side by side on the island structure, but a ball supply transport path is provided inside the island structure, and game balls are paid out in each ball game machine. Since the game balls stored in the storage tank are also reduced, the game balls transported via the ball supply transport path are supplied (supplemented) to the storage tank each time (for example, see Patent Document 1). ).

ところで、図１１に示すように、従来の弾球遊技機の一般的な貯留タンク100 は、底壁100aと側壁100b〜100eとで箱状に構成され、この貯留タンク100 に、前記球供給用搬送路の球排出端から排出した遊技球を落下させて供給するようになっており、落下する遊技球は、貯留タンク100 の底壁100aや、貯留タンク100 に貯留されている遊技球に直接衝突して受止められることになる。 By the way, as shown in FIG. 11, a general storage tank 100 of a conventional ball game machine is configured in a box shape with a bottom wall 100a and side walls 100b to 100e. The game balls discharged from the ball discharge end of the conveyance path are dropped and supplied, and the falling game balls are directly applied to the bottom wall 100a of the storage tank 100 or the game balls stored in the storage tank 100. It will be accepted by collision.

さて、パチンコ機やアレンジボール機や雀球機等の弾球遊技機には、遊技に関連する制御を司る制御装置が設けられ、その制御装置の誤作動を防止して信頼性を確保するためにも、制御装置に悪影響を及ぼす虞があるノイズ（放射ノイズや静電気ノイズ）の発生を極力抑えるようにする対策が必要である。
実開平６−２３５７８号公報 Well, ballistic machines such as pachinko machines, arrange ball machines, and sparrow ball machines are provided with a control device for controlling the control related to the game, in order to prevent malfunction of the control device and ensure reliability. In addition, it is necessary to take measures to minimize the generation of noise (radiation noise and electrostatic noise) that may adversely affect the control device.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-23578

従来の弾球遊技機では、島構造体の球供給用搬送路の球排出端から排出した遊技球を、落下させるようにして貯留タンクに供給するが、落下する遊技球が貯留タンクに貯留されている遊技球や貯留タンクの底壁等に直接衝突すると、その際、放射ノイズや静電気が発生し易く、その放射ノイズや静電気ノイズが弾球遊技機の制御装置に悪影響を及ぼす虞がある。 In the conventional ball game machine, the game balls discharged from the ball discharge end of the island structure ball supply conveyance path are supplied to the storage tank so as to drop, but the falling game balls are stored in the storage tank. If it directly collides with the game ball or the bottom wall of the storage tank, radiation noise and static electricity are likely to be generated, and the radiation noise and static noise may adversely affect the control device of the ball game machine.

遊技球の衝突による衝撃が大きい場合、更には、遊技球に帯電している静電気量が大きい場合、前記ノイズが発生し易いというのは周知である。それ故、遊技球に静電気が帯電し続ける状況は好ましくなく、特に、貯留タンクに遊技球を供給する際に放射ノイズが発生しにくくするためにも、遊技球から静電気を除去しておくのが望ましいが、これらの原因を加味したノイズ発生防止対策については、従来殆ど講じられていないのが現状である。 It is well known that the noise is likely to occur when the impact due to the collision of the game ball is large, and further, when the amount of static electricity charged in the game ball is large. Therefore, the situation where static electricity continues to be charged to the game ball is not preferable, and in particular, it is preferable to remove static electricity from the game ball in order to reduce the occurrence of radiation noise when supplying the game ball to the storage tank. Although it is desirable, the present situation is that almost no measures have been taken to prevent the occurrence of noise in consideration of these causes.

尚、静電気が発生して遊技球が帯電すると、遊技球は貯留タンクや遊技球に衝突するときだけでなく、その他の部材等に衝突するときにも放射ノイズが発生し易くなり、また、この遊技球の帯電は、弾球遊技機の制御装置に悪影響を及ぼす虞がある他に、遊技球が帯電した状態で払出された場合には、その遊技球を触った遊技者が感電するという原因にもなりかねない。 In addition, when static electricity is generated and the game ball is charged, radiation noise is easily generated not only when the game ball collides with the storage tank or the game ball but also with other members. The charge of the game ball may adversely affect the control device of the ball game machine. In addition, if the game ball is paid out in a charged state, the player who touched the game ball will get an electric shock. It can also be.

本発明の目的は、遊技球を島構造体側から貯留タンクに供給する際、放射ノイズや静電気（ノイズ）が発生するのを抑制し、更には静電気を除去することにより、そのノイズが遊技に関連する制御を司る制御装置に悪影響を及ぼすことを極力防止できるようにした弾球遊技機を提供することである。 The object of the present invention is to suppress generation of radiation noise and static electricity (noise) when supplying a game ball from the island structure side to the storage tank, and further, by removing the static electricity, the noise is related to the game. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bullet ball game machine that can prevent adverse effects on a control device that performs control.

Each ball contact portion 63 is thinner than the vertical thickness of the outer frame portion 61 and thinner toward the dividing hole 62a (center) side, and is held in a substantially horizontal posture when no external force is applied. When an external force is applied by contact from above, the elastic member can be elastically deformed downward.

このパチンコ機２の作用・効果について説明する。
上皿８に遊技球Ｂが収容された状態で、遊技者が発射ハンドル１１を握り回動操作すると、発射手段１０により例えば１分間に100 個の割合で遊技球Ｂが連続的に発射され、ガイドレール１５に誘導されて遊技領域５ａに投入される。 The operation and effect of this pachinko machine 2 will be described.
When the player holds the launch handle 11 and rotates the game ball B in the state where the game ball B is housed in the upper plate 8, the launch means 10 continuously launches the game balls B at a rate of 100 pieces per minute, It is guided by the guide rail 15 and thrown into the game area 5a.

遊技領域５ａに投入された遊技球Ｂは、障害釘や風車等に当たって方向を変えながら落下し、その遊技球Ｂが入賞手段１８〜２０に入賞すると、払出し手段３５が作動し、入賞球数の数倍又は10数倍の遊技球Ｂが賞球として上皿８に払出され、上皿８が遊技球Ｂで満杯の場合には下皿９に払出される。 The game ball B thrown into the game area 5a hits a obstacle nail or a windmill and falls while changing its direction. When the game ball B wins the winning means 18 to 20, the payout means 35 is activated, and the number of winning balls is increased. The game balls B several times or ten times as many are paid out to the upper plate 8 as prize balls, and when the upper plate 8 is full of the game balls B, it is paid out to the lower plate 9.

尚、特別図柄始動手段１９による遊技球Ｂの検出を条件に、特別図柄表示手段１６に特別図柄が変動表示され、その特別図柄の変動後の停止態様が特別態様（「７７７」等）になった場合には、遊技者に有利な特別遊技となり、以降、所定の終了条件が成立する迄の間、開閉板２０ａが開閉動作して特別入賞手段２０には多数の遊技球Ｂが入賞するため、多数の賞球の払出しが一挙に行われる。 Note that the special symbol is displayed on the special symbol display means 16 variably on the condition that the special symbol starting means 19 detects the game ball B, and the stop mode after the fluctuation of the special symbol becomes a special mode (such as “777”). In such a case, the game becomes a special game advantageous to the player, and thereafter, until the predetermined end condition is satisfied, the open / close plate 20a opens and closes and a lot of game balls B win the special winning means 20. A lot of prize balls are paid out at once.

さて、島構造体１の内部には球供給用搬送路が設けられ、この球供給用搬送路を介して搬送されてきた遊技球Ｂが貯留タンク３３に供給されて貯留され、貯留タンク３３の導出口５７から導出された遊技球Ｂが、タンクレール３４に案内されて払出し手段３５に導入される。払出し手段３５により遊技球Ｂの払出しが行われると、貯留タンク３３に貯留されている遊技球Ｂも減るため、その都度、前記球供給用搬送路を介して搬送されてきた遊技球Ｂが、貯留タンク３３に供給（補給）されるようになっている。 Now, a ball supply transport path is provided inside the island structure 1, and the game ball B transported through the ball supply transport path is supplied to the storage tank 33 and stored, and the storage tank 33 The game ball B led out from the lead-out port 57 is guided by the tank rail 34 and introduced into the payout means 35. When the game balls B are paid out by the payout means 35, the game balls B stored in the storage tank 33 are also reduced, so that each time the game balls B transported via the ball supply transport path are The storage tank 33 is supplied (supplemented).

島構造体１側から貯留タンク３３に遊技球Ｂを供給する際、遊技球Ｂは球供給用搬送路の球排出端から排出されて落下し、その落下する遊技球Ｂは、先ず、球受け部材６０のカバー部６２に接触し、そのカバー部６２の球接触部６３の弾性変形を介して緩衝されるように受止められる。そこで、遊技球Ｂの運動エネルギーが吸収されるため、その後、遊技球Ｂが隣合う球接触部６３の間を通って貯留タンク３３内に導入されるが、その遊技球Ｂが、貯留タンク３３に貯留されている遊技球Ｂや貯留タンク３３（例えば、底壁５０）に衝突しても、その衝撃は小さいものとなる。 When the game ball B is supplied to the storage tank 33 from the island structure 1 side, the game ball B is discharged and dropped from the ball discharge end of the ball supply conveyance path. It contacts the cover part 62 of the member 60 and is received so as to be buffered through elastic deformation of the ball contact part 63 of the cover part 62. Therefore, since the kinetic energy of the game ball B is absorbed, the game ball B is then introduced into the storage tank 33 through the adjacent ball contact portions 63, and the game ball B is stored in the storage tank 33. Even if it collides with the game ball B or the storage tank 33 (for example, the bottom wall 50) stored in the game, the impact is small.

また、島構造体１側から貯留タンク３３に供給される遊技球Ｂが、導電性ゴムからなる球受け部材６０に接触することにより、その遊技球Ｂに、既に帯電している静電気や、球受け部材６０に接触した際に発生する静電気を、球受け部材６０からアース線６５を介して外部へ除去することができる。 Further, when the game ball B supplied from the island structure 1 side to the storage tank 33 comes into contact with the ball receiving member 60 made of conductive rubber, the game ball B is charged with static electricity already charged, Static electricity generated when contacting the receiving member 60 can be removed from the ball receiving member 60 to the outside through the ground wire 65.

このように、球受け部材６０を設けたことにより、島構造体１側から貯留タンク３３に供給される遊技球Ｂが、貯留タンク３３に貯留されている遊技球Ｂや貯留タンク３３に衝突する際の衝撃を小さくし、しかも、その遊技球Ｂに帯電する静電気を外部へ除去できるため、放射ノイズや静電気（ノイズ）が発生しにくくなり、パチンコ機２の遊技に関連する制御を司る制御装置に悪影響を及ぼすことを極力防止できるようになる。また、遊技球Ｂが帯電した状態で払出され、その遊技球Ｂを触った遊技者が感電するという原因の１つを除去することにもなる。 Thus, by providing the ball receiving member 60, the game ball B supplied to the storage tank 33 from the island structure 1 side collides with the game ball B and the storage tank 33 stored in the storage tank 33. Control device which controls the control related to the game of the pachinko machine 2 because the static electricity charged to the game ball B can be removed to the outside, and radiation noise and static electricity (noise) are less likely to occur. Can be prevented as much as possible. In addition, the game ball B is paid out in a charged state, and one of the causes that the player who touched the game ball B gets an electric shock is also removed.

しかも、球受け部材６０は、導入口５６を覆い且つ複数の分断状の球接触部６３を有するカバー部６２を備えたので、導入口５６に入る遊技球Ｂを、複数の球接触部６３を有するカバー部６２に確実に接触させて緩衝し、しかも、カバー部６２に接触した遊技球Ｂを、カバー部６２の隣合う球接触部６３の間から通過させて、貯留タンク３３内に確実に導入できるようになる。また、この球受け部材６０を設けたことにより、貯留タンク３３に貯留されている遊技球Ｂが、導入口５６から外部へ飛び出すのを防止することもできる。また、球受け部材６０を、貯留タンク３３の導入口５６に着脱可能に設けたので、貯留タンク３３や球受け部材６０のリサイクルの面で有利になる。 In addition, since the ball receiving member 60 includes the cover portion 62 that covers the introduction port 56 and has a plurality of segmented ball contact portions 63, the game ball B that enters the introduction port 56 is transferred to the plurality of ball contact portions 63. The cover 62 is securely contacted and buffered, and the game ball B that is in contact with the cover 62 is passed through between the adjacent ball contacts 63 of the cover 62 to securely enter the storage tank 33. It can be introduced. Further, by providing the ball receiving member 60, it is possible to prevent the game ball B stored in the storage tank 33 from jumping out from the introduction port 56 to the outside. Further, since the ball receiving member 60 is detachably provided at the introduction port 56 of the storage tank 33, it is advantageous in terms of recycling the storage tank 33 and the ball receiving member 60.
