Conventionally used pachinko launchers of this type can include, for example, the configurations of Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3. In any configuration, as a driving method of the kite, for example, FIG. The configuration shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 is adopted.
That is, what is denoted by reference numeral 1 in FIG. 3 is for controlling the excitation signal 4 supplied to the motor 3 of the ball launcher 2 and for rotating the cage 5 of the ball launcher 2 shown in FIGS. This is a firing strength control operating body comprising any one of a lever, a handle, a knob, and the like, and an operation signal 1 a of this firing strength control operating body 1 is configured to be input to the drive circuit 6.

  The drive circuit 6 includes a firing cycle generation unit 9 for generating a firing cycle (defined in about 601 msec) 8 when the ball 7 is fired once by the rod 5, and a launch cycle generation unit 9.

  Next, the operation will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 4, the firing period 8 generated by the firing period generator 9 is defined as about 601 msec, and a part of the excitation time signal 10 is generated by the excitation time generator 11. The firing excitation time Ton is formed.

  By operating the operation body 1 for controlling the firing strength, the excitation time signal 10 is applied to the motor driving unit 12, and the motor driving unit 12 is operated only during the firing excitation time Ton and the excitation signal 4 is transmitted to the motor. 3 is applied, the rod 5 that is in contact with the first stopper 20 and stopped is rotated as shown in FIG. 6, and the tip 5 a collides with the sphere 7 to fire the sphere 7. .

When the ball 7 is fired, the rear end 5b of the cage 5 is in contact with the second stopper 21. After the ball 7 is fired after the firing excitation time Ton has elapsed, the rear end 5b is the counter. As shown in FIGS. 7 to 8, the flange 5 returns to its original position due to its own weight, but the flange 5 comes into contact with the first stopper 20 made of rubber, The tip 5a rotates to the sphere 7 side and tries to return to the original position.
Therefore, as shown by the reciprocating arrow in FIG. 8, the chattering phenomenon T due to the reciprocating rotation of the tip 5a of the ridge 5 occurs little by little, and it takes time until the ridge 5 returns to the original position and stops. Had an adverse effect on the launch operation.

  When the operation of the above-described kite 5 is expressed as a relationship between time and an operation angle, as shown in FIG. 9, the occurrence of the chattering phenomenon T is apparent from 50 msec to 300 msec after the ball is launched.

Since the conventional method and apparatus for driving a pachinko launcher are configured as described above, the following problems exist.
That is, after the firing excitation time Ton in the firing cycle of the excitation signal for driving the motor has elapsed, there is no excitation time and the motor remains in a non-excited state. However, it collides with the stopper at the original position, rotates again in the direction of launching the ball, and repeats the reciprocating operation.

For this reason, the kite after launching the ball causes the hunting phenomenon shown in FIG. 8 and requires time until it comes to a standstill, which also adversely affects the next ball launch.
In addition, as a means for quickly stopping the kite after the above-mentioned ball launch, there is a method of urging the kite with a spring or controlling it with a reversible motor. Has the disadvantage that the spring is loaded during launch.
In addition, the preparation of a motor capable of reverse rotation requires a drive circuit and the like for performing reverse rotation control of the motor, and the configuration of the electric system has been complicated.

A driving method of a pachinko launcher according to the present invention includes a motor provided in a ball launcher to which an excitation signal generated from a motor drive unit of a drive circuit is applied by operation of a firing strength control operating body, and a rotation by the motor by using a hammer configured to return to the original position by its own weight, shines issued a sphere by the mallet, a firing cycle generator for generating a firing cycle of firing the ball at predetermined time intervals, the firing An excitation time generator connected to a cycle generator for generating an excitation time signal to be applied to the motor driver, a firing excitation time controller, an excitation pause time controller, and a brake excitation provided in the excitation time generator The excitation excitation time of the excitation time signal is controlled by the excitation excitation time control unit, the excitation suspension time of the excitation time signal is controlled by the excitation suspension time control unit, Among the excitation time signals, the brake excitation time is controlled by the brake excitation time control unit, the excitation time signal is supplied to the motor drive unit, and the excitation signal is applied to the motor from the motor drive unit via the saddle. When the ball is fired, after exciting the motor at the firing excitation time and firing the ball, the motor is de-energized during the excitation pause time, and then in the brake excitation time, by energizing the motor, in how to provide a braking action to the hammer while returning to its original position after the ball firing, the current amount of the excitation signal for exciting the motor in the brake energization time In this method, control is performed according to the amount of rotation or opening of the operating body for controlling the firing strength .
A pachinko launcher driving device according to the present invention includes a motor provided in a ball launching device to which an excitation signal generated from a motor driving unit of a driving circuit is applied by operation of a firing strength control operating body, and the motor. and a rotation to hammer configured to return to the original position by its own weight, shines issued a sphere by the mallet, a firing cycle generator for generating a firing cycle of firing the ball at predetermined time intervals An excitation time generator connected to the firing cycle generator for generating an excitation time signal to be applied to the motor driver, a firing excitation time controller and an excitation pause time controller provided in the excitation time generator And the excitation time control unit, the excitation excitation time of the excitation time signal is controlled by the emission excitation time control unit, and the excitation suspension time of the excitation time signal is controlled by the excitation suspension time control unit. The brake excitation time of the excitation time signal is controlled by the brake excitation time control unit, the excitation time signal is supplied to the motor driving unit, and the excitation signal is applied to the motor from the motor driving unit. When the ball is fired via the excitation excitation time, after the motor is excited and the ball is fired, the motor is de-energized during the excitation pause time, and then in the brake excitation time. by energizing the motor in the driving equipment of the pachinko launcher you so that giving a brake operation for the hammer while returning to its original position after the ball firing, in the brake energization time The current amount of the excitation signal for exciting the motor is controlled in accordance with the rotation amount or opening amount of the firing strength control operation body.

Since the method and apparatus for driving a pachinko machine according to the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.
That is, out of the excitation time in the excitation cycle of the excitation signal applied to the motor, the ball is fired by rotating the rod at the firing excitation time, and the excitation to the motor is suspended as the excitation pause time for a predetermined time after the ball launch. After that, by applying the same excitation to the motor as the brake excitation time for the predetermined time, the brake action is added to the return state so that the hunting action of the kite after the ball launch is almost Can be suppressed.
Accordingly, the accuracy of launching the ball every time (variation in launch distance) is constant, the stationary time when the temperature rises is minimized, and the damping force of an elastic body such as rubber is not used for stopping the bag. Therefore, no extra noise is generated when the ball is launched.

  The present invention sets the firing excitation time, the excitation pause time, and the brake excitation time within one firing cycle of the excitation signal for exciting the motor. It is an object of the present invention to provide a driving method and apparatus for a pachinko launcher that applies a brake to the return operation, prevents chattering of the kite returning to its original position, and shortens the stop time of the kite.

What is indicated by reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 is an operating body for controlling the firing strength for controlling the excitation signal 4 to be supplied to the motor 3 of the ball launching device 2 and rotating the rod 5. The operation signal 1 a of the control operation body 1 is configured to be input to the drive circuit 6.

  The driving circuit 6 receives a firing period generation unit 9 for generating a firing period (defined in about 601 msec) 8 when the ball 7 is fired once by the rod 5 and the firing period 8 is input. An excitation time generation unit 11 for inputting an excitation time signal 10 to a motor drive unit 12 to be described later is configured.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the excitation time generation unit 11 includes a firing excitation time control unit 10A that forms a firing excitation time Ton1 in the excitation time signal 10, and an excitation suspension time that forms an excitation suspension time Toff. A control unit 10B and a brake excitation time control unit 10C for forming the brake excitation time Ton2 are provided. The excitation pause time Toff and the brake excitation time Ton2 are formed with substantially the same pulse width and a pulse width shorter than the firing excitation time Ton1.

  When the excitation time signal 10 is applied to the motor drive unit 12 by operating the firing strength control operating body 1 in the above-described state, the motor drive unit 12 operates only during the firing excitation time Ton. Then, when the excitation signal 4 is applied to the motor 3, the kite that has come into contact with the first stopper 20 and stopped is rotated as shown in FIG. 7 is fired.

  When the ball 7 is fired, the rear end portion 5b of the rod 5 is in contact with the second stopper 21, and after the ball 7 is fired after the firing excitation time Ton has elapsed, the motor 3 is driven by the excitation pause time Toff. Since it is not excited, the rear end portion 5b is separated from the second stopper 21 by the action of the counter as shown in FIG. 7, and the front end portion 5a tries to approach the first stopper 20, but the brake next to the excitation pause time Toff is applied. The excitation signal 4 is supplied to the motor 3 through the motor drive unit 12 by the excitation time Ton2 and the brake action is applied to the hook 5 itself, and chattering of the hook 5 as in the conventional case is completely prevented and hits the first stopper 20. It will be in contact.

In the above-described state, the excitation signal 4 is applied to the motor 3 via the motor driving unit 12 by the next firing excitation time Ton1, and the next sphere 7 is fired.
In the above-described configuration, the current amount of the excitation signal 4 that excites the motor 3 during the brake excitation time Ton2 is always constant or in accordance with the rotation amount or the opening amount of the firing strength control operation body 1. It can also be controlled.
The firing excitation time Ton1, the excitation pause time Toff, and the brake excitation time Ton2 can all be fixed or variable according to the amount of rotation or opening of the firing strength control operating body 1.
Further, any one of the firing excitation time Ton1, the excitation pause time Toff and the brake excitation time Ton2 is variable and the other two are fixed, or the firing excitation time Ton1 is variable, or any two are variable. The other one may be fixed, and the firing excitation time Ton1 excitation pause time Toff may be variable.
Accordingly, since the excitation pause time and the brake excitation time are set within the excitation time after the ball 7 is fired, hunting of the kite 5 after the ball 7 is fired is effectively prevented, and a stable ball launch is performed. be able to.
