Description

  The present invention relates to a winning device for gaming machines and a gaming machine equipped with the same.

  For example, in a recent pachinko machine, in a game area formed on the front side (player side) of a game board, a variable display unit (for example, a liquid crystal display) is used to display various results such as lottery results and reach actions. In order to effectively display such effects, the center accessory and the side lamps for gaming machines are becoming larger. In addition, due to the relaxation of rules related to recent gaming machines, it has become possible to provide a plurality of start openings (start winning devices) and large winning openings (large winning devices).

  As described above, diversification of games can be achieved by increasing the size of the display unit, the accessory, and the like in the game area and adopting a plurality of start openings, prize winning openings, and the like. On the other hand, since the size of the game area is almost the same, the formation of a flow path (for example, nail arrangement) for flowing down the game balls is limited, and the game ball can flow only in a limited flow path in the game area If the flow path width becomes narrow and the game ball is likely to be clogged in the game area, the player's interest in the game is hindered. For this reason, downsizing of the winning device is attracting attention as a new request.

  By the way, a winning device generally used as an “attacker” has a structure in which a rectangular large winning opening having a left and right longitudinal direction is closed so as to be opened and closed by a corresponding closing member (winning door). Usually, the winning door is hinged at the lower edge both ends to the front plate (base plate) of the winning device, for example. Such a winning door falls on a closed position that closes the large winning opening by a driving means such as a solenoid and a transmission mechanism such as a swinging arm (transmission member), and falls from the closed position to the front side (player side). It is displaced between the open position where the big prize opening is opened. When the winning door is displaced to the open position at the time of a big hit, the game ball flowing down the gaming area is introduced from the opened large winning opening to the winning area inside the winning device, and is embedded in the rolling area of the winning area. After the winning is detected by the switch (winning detector), it is led out of the winning device.

  Therefore, in order to reduce the height in the vertical direction of such a large winning device and make it smaller (thinner), an attempt to erect a game ball passage detection opening of a proximity switch on the rolling surface of the winning area ( A so-called vertical proximity switch is disclosed (see Patent Documents 1 to 3).

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-288042 JP 2006-230810 A JP 2006-239121 A

  It is theoretically possible to shorten the vertical height corresponding to the thickness of the proximity switch in the large winning device by the techniques disclosed in these. However, since the big winning opening has a structure that is long in the left-right direction, simply placing a vertically placed proximity switch in the winning area will introduce a large number of switches that are introduced based on the displacement of the winning door to the open position at the time of a big hit. This may hinder the flow of the game balls and cause clogging in the winning area, which may interfere with the game or impair the interest in the game.

  An object of the present invention is to quickly and accurately detect a winning ball, which is introduced from a winning opening and derived from a leading opening, by a vertically placed winning detection means in the winning area while reducing the thickness of the winning device. An object of the present invention is to provide a winning device for a gaming machine and a gaming machine using the same.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

In order to solve the above-described problems, the prize winning device for gaming machine of the present invention is:
In order to introduce a game ball from a game area formed on the board surface of the game board to a winning area facing the rear side opposite to the front side where the player is located, the flow direction in the game area is set as the vertical direction. A prize-winning device for a gaming machine having a prize opening that opens in the left-right direction as a crossing direction and fixed to the gaming board,
The game board is parallel to the game board and is arranged so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis extending in the left-right direction, and the prize opening is closed by standing along the game board to introduce the game ball into the prize area. A winning door that displaces to a closed position that disables and an open position that allows the game ball to be introduced into the winning area by opening the winning opening by protruding in a crossing manner to the gaming area;
A plurality of guides which are arranged in the winning area behind the winning door and are erected at the front end portion for guiding and guiding the game ball introduced from the winning opening toward the center in the left-right direction of the winning area. The wall,
A first rolling surface that becomes lower as it goes backward to join the game balls gathered along the guide wall toward the center in the left-right direction and to guide the rolling backward, and the first rolling surface In order to continue branching the game ball and roll and guide in the direction of the left and right ends, the lower the lower the further to the outside in the left and right direction, at least a part of the second rolling surface located within the thickness of the game board, A plurality of guide passages including a third rolling surface that becomes lower toward the rear side in order to roll and guide the game ball backward to the second rolling surface;
A plurality of outlets formed at the end portion of each guide passage, and formed in a vertical direction behind the game board;
In order to detect a game ball that rolls in each guide passage, a game ball passage that is arranged upright at a boundary portion between the second rolling surface and the third rolling surface across the guide passage. A plurality of winning detection means having a detection opening and a front end portion rushingly fixed to the guide wall;
When the winning door is displaced to the open position, a game ball introduced from the gaming area formed on the board surface of the gaming board to the winning area through the winning opening is horizontally moved along the guide wall. While being gathered closer to the center and being guided to roll through the guide passage, a winning detection is detected by the winning detection means, and thereafter, it is led out from the outlet to the rear behind the game board.

  According to the above-mentioned game machine winning device, by arranging a so-called vertical-type winning detection means (for example, a proximity switch) in which a game ball passage detection opening is erected so as to cross the guide passage, The height of the winning device can be reduced by shortening at least the vertical height corresponding to the thickness of the winning detection means. Moreover, a plurality of (for example, two) guide walls, guide passages, outlets, and winning detection means are provided in the winning area. As a result, the game balls introduced from the winning opening are detected and won by a plurality of vertically installed winning detection means while being guided and guided through a plurality of guiding walls and guiding passages in the winning area. Since it is led out from the plurality of outlets to the rear of the game board, the flow of game balls introduced from the prize opening is not hindered, and clogging in the winning area is less likely to occur. Therefore, even when the winning area is formed to be long in the left-right direction or the front-rear direction, the game ball introduced from the winning opening can be detected quickly and accurately and can be smoothly derived from the outlet.

  It should be noted that since a normal big winning device has a winning opening whose longitudinal direction is the longitudinal direction, it is desirable that a plurality of guiding walls, guiding passages, outlets and winning detecting means are arranged in the horizontal direction in the winning area. These may be arranged side by side in the front-rear direction or in a matrix form on the left and right and front and rear. These guide walls, guide passages, outlets, etc. can be formed integrally on the inner surface of the casing, respectively, and all of them can be formed integrally with the casing as a guide member (for example, injection molding with a polymer material). Also good. In addition, a proximity switch is generally used as a game ball winning detection means in the winning device. However, a photoelectric switch, an infrared switch, an ultrasonic switch, and a laser switch can be used as long as they have an opening for detecting a game ball passage. A non-contact sensor such as may be used.

Furthermore, the following cases are included as forms in which “at least a part of the second rolling surface is located within the thickness of the game board”, for example.
(1) When the entire second rolling surface (full width) is located within the thickness of the game board;
(2) When the width center of the second rolling surface is located within the thickness of the game board;
(3) When only a part of the width of the second rolling surface is located within the thickness of the game board;
In (1), the game ball passage detection opening on the second rolling surface is positioned within the thickness of the game board, and the game ball also moves in the left-right direction within the thickness of the game board. On the other hand, in (2) and (3), the game ball passage detection opening on the second rolling surface does not stay within the thickness of the game board. Move to.

  In any case of (1) to (3), since the third rolling surface that is inclined backward is provided after the second rolling surface, the second rolling surface is rolled. The game ball is guided to the outlet port behind the game board by the third rolling surface. In particular, even when the entire second rolling surface is located within the thickness of the game board as in (1), the game ball is moved to the outlet at the rear of the game board due to the backward inclination of the third rolling surface. Can be guided reliably.

In the above winning device, the first rolling surface is arranged in a shared form near the center in the left-right direction of the winning area,
It is desirable that the guide wall, the second rolling surface, the third rolling surface, the outlet and the winning detection means are arranged in pairs on the left and right sides of the first rolling surface.

  Since the pair of guide walls, the guide passage, the outlet and the winning detection means are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction in the winning area, the present invention is applied to a large winning device having a winning opening arranged so that the horizontal direction is the longitudinal direction. be able to. In addition, the first rolling surface of the pair of guide passages arranged side by side is shared, and the guide wall, the second rolling surface and the third rolling surface of the guide passage are sandwiched between the shared first rolling surfaces. Since the moving surface, the outlet, and the winning detection means are arranged on the left and right, respectively, the guiding path can be secured widely and arranged in parallel in the left-right direction (for example, symmetrically about the first rolling surface). At that time, the game balls introduced from the winning opening are joined to the shared first rolling surface and then branched to the left and right guide passages (second rolling surface and third rolling surface). Each winning detection means can quickly and accurately detect the winnings without hindering the flow of the winnings.

  Specifically, the opening end surface of the game ball passage detection opening of the winning detection means is orthogonal to the winning door and the second rolling surface in a plan view (that is, the axis (center line of the game ball passage detection opening) ) In parallel with the winning door and the second rolling surface. As a result, the second rolling surface can be arranged in parallel with the winning door in plan view, and the full length of the guide passage can be ensured while shortening the longitudinal length (depth) of the guide passage. It is possible to smoothly detect winnings after arranging the points.

  In addition, the game ball passage detection opening of the winning detection means has an opening end surface that is upright with respect to the inclined second rolling surface (that is, the axis (center line) of the game ball passage detection opening is the second rotation). It can be arranged so as to stand upright (parallel to the moving surface). As a result, the axis (center line) of the game ball passage detection opening is arranged parallel to the second rolling surface, so that the game ball rolling on the second rolling surface is received in the game ball passage detection opening. Therefore, it is possible to detect winnings smoothly.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the gaming machine of the present invention is:
The award winning device for gaming machine as described above is fixedly arranged on the gaming board.

  This makes it possible to detect the winning ball quickly and accurately in the winning area by means of a vertically placed winning detection means, while reducing the thickness of the winning device and allowing the gaming ball introduced from the winning opening and derived from the outlet to enter the winning area. It is possible to easily realize a gaming machine having a rich board surface configuration.

(Example)
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view illustrating a pachinko machine equipped with a gaming machine winning device (hereinafter also simply referred to as a winning device) according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view illustrating an example of a winning device according to the present invention. 3 is a perspective view of the main part, and FIG. 4 is a partial sectional plan view of the main part. As shown in FIG. 1, on the board surface 2a (front surface) of the game board 2 of the pachinko machine 1 (game machine), a substantially left half circumference is partitioned by two inner and outer firing rails 2b, and a circular game area 2c as a whole is formed. Is formed. A liquid crystal display unit 3 is mounted in the center of the game area 2c, and a winning device 4 (large winning device) is disposed below the liquid crystal display unit 3 (lower center of the game area 2c). An electric tulip (hereinafter also referred to as an electric chew) 8 having a start winning opening and formed by a pair of rotating blade pieces 8a, 8a is disposed between the liquid crystal display unit 3 and the winning device 4. ing.

  In the present specification, the vertical direction means a direction (for example, a vertical direction) in which the game ball flows down along the board surface 2 a of the game board 2. Further, the left and right direction means a direction (for example, a horizontal direction) intersecting with the up and down direction along the board surface 2a of the game board 2, and means the left side and the right side when viewed from the player side. Further, the front-rear direction means a direction intersecting (for example, orthogonal) with the game board 2, the player side (front side) is the front side, and the opposite side (back side) is the rear side.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the winning device 4 includes a base plate 5 for fixing to the game board 2. The base plate 5 is formed to penetrate in the thickness direction (front-rear direction), and has a rectangular shape that opens in the up-down direction in the flow direction in the game area 2c and in the left-right direction that is the intersecting (for example, orthogonal) direction as the longitudinal direction. It has a winning opening 5a (large winning opening). Therefore, a game ball (not shown) launched from the launch rail 2b passes from the game area 2c formed on the board surface 2a of the game board 2 through the prize opening 5a and the rear prize area 5b (see FIG. 4). ).

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the winning device 4 has a winning door 10 (large winning door) attached to the base plate 5 corresponding to the winning opening 5a, and the plunger 21 is linearly displaced in the front-rear direction. And a transmission mechanism 30 that is disposed between the winning door 10 and the solenoid 20 and transmits the driving force of the plunger 21 to the winning door 10. The winning door 10, the solenoid 20, and the transmission mechanism 30 are housed in the lower case 4a and the upper case 4b and assembled to the base plate 5. Note that, as will be described later, the lower case 4a also accommodates vertical proximity switches 4c and 4c (winning detection means) for detecting a winning ball to the winning device 4.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the winning door 10 has a rectangular plate shape whose longitudinal direction is the longitudinal direction when viewed from the front, and is inserted into the winning opening 5a, for example, parallel to the game board 2 and the winning opening 5a. It is arrange | positioned so that rotation is possible around the rotation axis O1 extended along the lower side. Then, by standing along the game board 2 (see FIG. 1), the winning opening 5a is closed to make it impossible to introduce the game ball into the winning area 5b (see FIG. 1), and to the gaming area 2c. By projecting in an intersecting manner, the winning opening 5a is opened, and it is rotationally displaced to an open position (see FIG. 3) that allows the game ball to be introduced into the winning area 5b.

  Specifically, the winning door 10 is provided with pivot shafts 11 and 11 projecting along the pivot axis O1 at the lower ends of both side portions, and the pivot shafts 11 and 11 are rotatable to the lower case 4a. It is supported. In addition, it is good also as a form which forms a shaft hole instead of the rotating shafts 11 and 11, and is pivotally supported from the base-plate 5 side. The winning door 10 uses a self-weight type in which the center of gravity is positioned in front of the rotation axis O1 and tilts to the open position by its own weight (movement of the center of gravity).

  The solenoid 20 is arranged in the front-rear direction at the left end portion of the winning door 10 (winning port 5 a), and includes a plunger 21 having a head portion 22 formed at a front end protruding from the main body case 29, and the main body case 29 and the plunger 21. A compression coil spring 23 (a resilient member) interposed between the head portion 22 and the compression coil spring 23; The solenoid 20 holds the head portion 22 in the forward protruding position and the backward retracted position, thereby rotating the winning door 10 about the rotation axis O1 to displace it between the closed position and the open position. . Specifically, in a normal state, the solenoid 20 is demagnetized, and the compression coil spring 23 biases the plunger 21 toward the protruding position, and holds (displaces) the winning door 10 in the closed position. On the other hand, in the big hit state, the solenoid 20 is excited, the plunger 21 moves to the retracted position against the urging force of the compression coil spring 23, and holds (displaces) the winning door 10 in the open position.

  The transmission mechanism 30 is disposed in the front-rear direction along the moving direction of the plunger 21 at the left end portion of the winning door 10. This transmission mechanism 30 is the same as the swing arm 40 (transmission member) that swings around the swing axis O2 arranged in parallel to the pivot axis O1 behind the pivot axis O1 of the winning door 10. And an auxiliary arm 50 (an auxiliary member) that swings around the swing axis O2. The swing arm 40 displaces the winning door 10 to the closed position when the head portion 22 of the plunger 21 of the solenoid 20 is displaced to the protruding position, and opens the winning door 10 when the head portion 22 of the plunger 21 is displaced to the retracted position. The driving force of the plunger 21 is directly transmitted to the winning door 10 so as to be displaced to the position. The auxiliary arm 50 assists (energizes; assists) the opening operation of the winning door 10 by the swing arm 40 mainly in the process of moving the head portion 22 of the plunger 21 from the protruding position to the retracted position.

  Next, the operation of the winning device 4 having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 in relation to the gaming state in the gaming area 2c.

<Normal state = closed position> (Fig. 1)
In the normal state (non-big hit state), the solenoid 20 is demagnetized, the compression coil spring 23 biases the plunger 21 toward the protruding position, and holds the winning door 10 in the closed position. Accordingly, the game balls flowing down the game area 2c are not introduced into the winning area 5b.

<Big hit state = open position> (FIGS. 3 and 4)
When a game ball flowing down the game area 2c wins the electric chew 8, a winning lottery is executed, and if the lottery result is a big hit, a big hit symbol (for example, “7, 7, 7”) is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 3. ) Is displayed. In the big hit state, the solenoid 20 is excited, the plunger 21 moves to the retracted position against the biasing force of the compression coil spring 23, and the winning door 10 is held in the open position. As a result, game balls flowing down the game area 2c are introduced into the winning area 5b.

  When the proximity switches 4c and 4c detect a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winnings in the winning opening 5a, or when a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses, the solenoid 20 is demagnetized again, and the plunger The head portion 22 of 21 is displaced from the retracted position to the protruding position, and the winning door 10 is displaced from the open position to the closed position. With the above as one round (1R), the opening / closing operation of the winning door 10 is repeated over a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15R), and the player can acquire a large number of prize balls during this period.

  Next, FIG. 5 shows a mounting structure of the proximity switch. As shown in FIG. 5, on the upper surface of the bottom wall of the lower case 4a, guide walls 61 and 61, guide passages 62 and 62, and outlet ports 63 and 63 are arranged on the left and right, respectively, and these are stage 60 (guide guide part). Are integrally molded with the lower case 4a.

  The guide walls 61, 61 are arranged in the winning area 5b behind the winning door 10, and in order to guide and guide the game ball introduced from the winning opening 5a toward the center in the left-right direction of the winning area 5b. Is erected in a symmetrical form that is inclined rearward toward the center side (see FIG. 4).

  The guide passages 62 and 62 are disposed symmetrically corresponding to the guide walls 61 and 61. The guide passages 62, 62 are joined at the center of the left-right direction along the guide walls 61, 61 to join the game balls and guide them to roll backwards. In order to branch the game ball to the moving surface 62a and the first rolling surface 62a and to guide the rolling in the left and right end portions, the lower the outer side, the lower the level, and a portion within the thickness of the game board 2 The second rolling surfaces 62b, 62b located at the second rolling surface 62c, and the third rolling surfaces 62c, which are lowered toward the rear side in order to continue to guide the game balls to the second rolling surfaces 62b, 62b. 62c.

  The outlets 63 and 63 are formed symmetrically at the end portions of the respective guide passages 62 and 62 (that is, the rear end portions of the third rolling surfaces 62c and 62c), and in the vertical direction immediately after the game board 2. It is formed through.

  The above-described vertically placed proximity switches 4c and 4c detect winning of the game balls rolling on the respective guide passages 62 and 62. The proximity switches 4c and 4c are arranged so as to be symmetrically erected on the boundary portion between the second rolling surfaces 62b and 62b and the third rolling surfaces 62c and 62c so as to cross the guide passages 62 and 62. The ball passage detection openings 4d and 4d are provided, and the front end portion is plunged and fixed to the back side of the guide walls 61 and 61.

  Therefore, in the big hit state shown in FIG. 4, when the winning door 10 is displaced to the open position, the game introduced from the gaming area 2c formed on the board surface 2a of the gaming board 2 to the winning area 5b through the winning opening 5a. The balls are gathered along the guide walls 61 and 61 toward the center in the left-right direction and are guided to roll along the guide passages 62 and 62. In the meantime, the rolling game ball is detected by the vertically placed proximity switches 4c and 4c, and then led out from the outlets 63 and 63 to the outside behind the game board 2.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the opening end surface of the game ball passage detection opening 4d of the proximity switch 4c is arranged orthogonal to the winning door 10 and the second rolling surface 62b in plan view. Yes. That is, the axis O3 (center line) of the game ball passage detection opening 4d is arranged in parallel with the winning door 10 and the second rolling surface 62b. Thereby, the second rolling surface 62b can be arranged in parallel with the winning door 10 in a plan view, and the full length of the guide passage 62 is reduced while shortening the front-rear length (depth) of the game. After adjusting the flow of the sphere, the winning detection by the proximity switch 4c can be smoothly performed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the opening 4d for detecting the passing of the game ball of the proximity switch 4c is erected in an upright manner with respect to the inclined second rolling surface 62b. That is, the axis O3 (center line) of the game ball passage detection opening 4d is arranged in parallel with the second rolling surface 62b. As a result, the axis O3 (center line) of the game ball passage detection opening 4d is arranged in parallel with the second rolling surface 62b, so that the gaming ball rolling on the second rolling surface 62b is moved to the proximity switch 4c. The game ball passing detection opening 4d can be received and the winning can be detected smoothly.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5A, the first rolling surface 62a is arranged in a shared form near the center in the left-right direction of the winning area 5b (see FIG. 4), and the guide walls 61 and 61, the second rolling surface. The moving surfaces 62b and 62b, the third rolling surfaces 62c and 62c, the outlets 63 and 63, and the proximity switches 4c and 4c are arranged symmetrically with each other with the first rolling surface 62a interposed therebetween.

  Thus, since the pair of guide walls 61, 61, guide passages 62, 62, outlets 63, 63 and proximity switches 4c, 4c are arranged in the left-right direction in the winning area 5b, the left-right direction is the longitudinal direction. Thus, the application to the winning device 4 having the winning opening 5a (see FIG. 4) arranged in this manner is facilitated. In addition, the first rolling surface 62a is shared among the pair of guide passages 62, 62 arranged side by side on the left and right, and the guide walls and the guide passages 62, 62 are arranged across the shared first rolling surface 62a. Since the two rolling surfaces 62b and 62b, the third rolling surfaces 62c and 62c, the outlets 63 and 63, and the proximity switches 4c and 4c are arranged on the left and right, respectively, the first rolling is ensured with a wide guide passage 62 and 62. They can be arranged side by side symmetrically about the surface 62a. At that time, after the game balls introduced from the winning opening 5a are joined to the shared first rolling surface 62a, the left and right guide passages 62, 62 (second rolling surfaces 62b, 62b and third rolling surface) 62c, 62c), the winning switch can be quickly and accurately detected by each proximity switch 4c, 4c without obstructing the flow of the game ball.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the front-rear direction centers (width centers) of the second rolling surfaces 62b, 62b substantially coincide with the axis O3 (center line) of the game ball passage detection openings 4d, 4d. It is located within the thickness of the game board 2. Therefore, the game ball passage detection openings 4d and 4d on the second rolling surfaces 62b and 62b do not stay within the thickness of the game board 2, and the game ball partially protrudes from the thickness of the game board 2 and moves in the left-right direction. Will do. However, since the third rolling surface 62c inclined backward is provided following the second rolling surface 62b, the game ball rolling on the second rolling surface 62b is as shown in FIG. The third rolling surface 62c is guided to the outlet port 63 behind the game board 2.

  For example, the entire second rolling surfaces 62b, 62b (full width) can be positioned within the thickness of the game board 2 by changing the thickness of the game board 2 or the like. In this case, the game ball passage detection openings 4d, 4d on the second rolling surfaces 62b, 62b are located within the thickness of the game board 2, and the game balls also move in the left-right direction within the thickness of the game board 2. It will be. However, the game ball can be reliably guided to the outlet 63 at the rear of the game board 2 by the rearward inclination of the third rolling surface 62c.

  As shown in FIG. 5, if the peripheral walls 62d and 62d are extended from the ends of the third rolling surfaces 62c and 62c of the guide passages 62 and 62 so as to surround the outlets 63 and 63, the game ball is guided. It can guide to the outlets 63 and 63 more smoothly. At this time, the peripheral wall on the center side in the left-right direction of the outlets 63 and 63 may also be used as the main body portion of the proximity switches 4c and 4c (see FIGS. 5A and 5B).

  In the embodiment, only the proximity switch has been described. However, the proximity switch can be applied to a non-contact sensor such as a photoelectric switch, an infrared switch, an ultrasonic switch, or a laser switch as long as it has a game ball passage detection opening. is there.
