Description

The present invention relates to Yu technique and, more particularly, is obtained by forming a plurality of rolling passage section game ball is dropped while rotating motion to repeatedly rolling a portion of a sphere circulation passage.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine, when the launch handle is turned, a game ball supplied from the storage dish to the ball launcher is launched into the game area formed on the game board by the ball launcher. When there are a plurality of game balls in the storage tray, the plurality of game balls are continuously fired at intervals of about 0.6 seconds. A plurality of winning holes are provided in the gaming area, and when a game ball wins a winning hole, a plurality (several to ten or more) gaming balls can be obtained for each winning game ball.

  In the recent mainstream pachinko machines that have a start opening and an openable large winning opening as a winning opening in the game area, a big hit lottery is performed when a game ball wins a winning opening, and it was won in the big win lottery In this case, a big hit game is usually generated in which a closed winning prize opening is opened and closed over a plurality of rounds. Due to the occurrence of the big hit game, a plurality of game balls win the big prize opening in a short period of time, so that a large number (from several hundred to several hundreds) of game balls can be obtained.

  In a general pachinko machine, all acquired game balls are paid out to a storage tray. Therefore, when a big hit game occurs, the game balls in the storage tray overflow, so most of the paid out game balls are taken out from the storage tray and stored in a storage box (so-called dollar box) and stored as holding balls. Later, the ball can be used in a storage tray. Normally, when there is no ball, until a big hit game is generated, a plurality of (for example, 25) game balls are purchased by a ball purchase device arranged in parallel with a pachinko game machine and used in a storage tray. .

  In pachinko gaming facilities where multiple pachinko machines are installed on an island structure, generally, ball circulation is achieved by circulating game balls through the game area of each pachinko machine across each pachinko machine and island structure. A passage is provided. In this ball circulation passage, an island-side ball supply passage and an island-side ball discharge passage common to a plurality of pachinko machines are provided in the island structure, and game balls are stored in each pachinko machine from the island-side ball supply passage. A ball supply passage for supplying to the dish (that is, the ball launcher) and a ball discharge passage for discharging the game ball from the game area (out port or the like) to the island-side ball discharge passage are provided.

  On the other hand, a ball-enclosed pachinko game machine in which game balls are enclosed so that they cannot be taken out has been put into practical use. In this ball-enclosed pachinko machine, the number of game balls purchased, the number of shots, the number of acquisitions, etc. are managed by the computer. Therefore, a predetermined number (for example, about several hundred to several thousand) of game balls It can be configured to be able to play by being enclosed so as to be circulated in the gaming machine. The island-side sphere supply passage and the island-side sphere discharge passage of the island structure can be omitted.

  By the way, in conventional pachinko gaming facilities, usually, outside of the actual operation of the pachinko gaming machine, a large number of gaming balls are collected from the pachinko gaming machine through the island side ball discharge passage and cleaned by a dedicated cleaning device. To do. However, such cleaning of game balls is a very large-scale operation, and it is considered unreasonable to collect and clean a large number of game balls from a plurality of ball-enclosed pachinko machines. Therefore, the following technology has been developed in response to a request to clean the game balls circulating during the actual operation of the pachinko gaming machine.

  In the pachinko gaming machine of FIG. 1 (FIG. 1), a polishing member for cleaning the game ball is provided on the outer rail of the ball launch passage that guides the launched game ball to the game area. In the pachinko gaming machine of Patent Document 2 (FIG. 5), the right end portion of the game area is partitioned by a separate rail, and a ball polishing passage is formed by the rail and the outer rail, and polishing is performed on the outer rail of the ball polishing passage. A member is provided. In the case where the upstream end of the ball polishing passage is opened and closed by the opening / closing member and the game ball is cleaned, when the game ball is hit to the right with the opening / closing member opened, it is introduced into the ball polishing passage and cleaned by the polishing member. In the pachinko gaming machine (FIG. 1) of Patent Document 3, a part of the ball discharge passage is formed by an inclined linear polishing rod, and a plurality of cuts are formed in the polishing rod, and a game is played at the step portions of the plurality of cuts. The sphere is cleaned.

  In the pachinko gaming machine (FIG. 1, FIG. 8) of Patent Document 4, a part of a ball supply passage for supplying a game ball to a ball launcher is formed in a U-shaped passage, and includes a sprocket and an electric motor. Thus, the game ball is conveyed upward in the rising path of the U-shaped path, and the cleaning member is disposed in the rising path so as to come into contact with the game ball. In the pachinko gaming facility of Patent Document 5 (FIGS. 1 and 12), the island structure is provided with a rising passage from the island-side ball discharge passage side to the island-side ball supply passage side, and the same ball transport as in Patent Document 4 By the mechanism, the game ball is conveyed upward in the ascending passage, and an abrasive tape is disposed in the ascending passage so as to come into contact with the game ball.

  The cleaning techniques of Patent Documents 4 and 5 both clean a game ball using the driving force of a ball transport mechanism. In the pachinko gaming machine of Patent Document 6 (see FIGS. 5 and 7), an elongated brush member is disposed along a straight passage portion of a ball supply passage for supplying game balls to a ball launching portion, and the brush member is an electric motor. Is driven to rotate and cleans the game ball.
