Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine provided with a speaker device for generating sound effects according to game contents in order to enhance the fun of the game.

Conventionally, for example, in a pachinko machine, an image display device such as a liquid crystal display has been provided on the game surface of the game board, and various visual effects such as image fluctuations are performed on the liquid crystal display according to the game situation. I try to enhance the fun of the game. Along with this image variation, sound effects such as sounds and voices according to the scene are reproduced from a speaker device built in the front of the gaming machine to give the game a more realistic feeling. Sound effects are generally emitted from a slit formed on the front face of a gaming machine as a sound exit.
In order to make the player feel a more realistic sound effect, it is preferable to prepare a plurality of speaker devices. In practice, however, the front frame in which the speaker devices are arranged and the main body of the gaming machine Since there is not enough space, there is a limit to the number of speaker devices that can be attached. Further, when the number of speaker devices is increased, it is necessary to increase the number of outlets for sound effects, and it is necessary to maintain the rigidity of the front frame.
Furthermore, the conventional speaker device has a cone-type speaker unit using a cone made of a thin material such as paper as the sound generating part, and is quite bulky. This is also a major reason why many speaker devices cannot be installed in the gaming machine. Met. Patent document 1 is shown as an example of the conventional cone type speaker unit arrange | positioned at this kind of game machine.

By the way, in recent years, in place of a conventional speaker device using a cone-type speaker unit, a speaker device of another type using a vibration element such as a giant magnetostrictive material or a piezoelectric ceramic as disclosed in Patent Document 2 has been newly provided. ing. An example of an acoustic device using a giant magnetostrictive material is an exciter. An exciter has a structure in which a coil of a giant magnetostrictive material having a property that its outer shape changes greatly by the generation of a magnetic field, and can reproduce sound from the object itself by vibrating the object with the exciter together with itself. It is an acoustic device that can be used. Patent document 2 is to improve the performance of a speaker of this type of gaming machine having space limitations by mounting an exciter on a transparent plate of a window unit and vibrating the transparent plate itself.
However, although an exciter is less bulky than a cone-type speaker unit, it is an acoustic device that can reproduce sound from the object itself by vibrating the object equipped with the exciter with itself. When attached to the front frame, the vibrations of the exciters interfere with each other, and sound effects based on the individual exciters cannot be sufficiently separated. For example, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 in Patent Document 2, a total of four exciters 52 are mounted around one transparent plate 53, but in such usage, mutual sounds interfere with each other. It was insufficient to reproduce the sound effect clearly like the conventional cone type speaker unit. Therefore, the exciter cannot be used in place of the conventional cone type speaker unit or mounted on the front frame together with the conventional cone type speaker unit.
Because of these various problems, there has been a demand for a pachinko gaming machine in which a conventional design is not greatly changed and a plurality of speaker devices can be arranged without difficulty.
The present invention has been made paying attention to various problems existing in such conventional techniques. The object is to provide a pachinko machine capable of adding a sound source and an outlet for generating a sound effect from the sound source without changing the design of the front frame.

In order to achieve the above object, the invention of claim 1 is a pachinko gaming machine in which a plurality of panel bodies having different functions are arranged in an overlapping manner in the front-rear direction, and is selected from the plurality of panel bodies. A ball tank for storing pachinko balls supplied from the outside or circulating through the inside, and a ball tank arranged at a downstream position of the ball tank as the game progresses. A first flow path communicating with a pachinko ball payout mechanism that allows a predetermined amount of pachinko balls to flow downstream from the tank; and a downstream position of the pachinko ball payout mechanism; in pachinko machine and a second flow path for guiding the pachinko ball falling port opened in the game board side facing the player pachinko balls supplied, the snap from the sphere tank The transducer unit which is regarded as the vibrator of giant magnetostrictive material or piezoelectric ceramic acoustic passage formed over the spheres falling port apart a predetermined distance and a plurality mounted, said by the transducer unit to vibrate the acoustic passage predetermined effect The gist is that sound is generated and the sound effect is guided to the lower entrance of the pachinko ball.

In the configuration as described above, sound effects are generated from the object itself by the vibrator unit attached to the ball tank and the acoustic passage formed from the ball tank to the pachinko ball flow lower opening, and there are a plurality of sound effects. It is guided to the pachinko ball flow outlet without being greatly attenuated by the action of the vibrator unit, and the pachinko ball flow lower opening can be added to the pachinko ball flow outlet and used as an outlet for sound effects.
Here, the vibrator unit is an assembly in which a giant magnetostrictive material or piezoelectric ceramic is used as a vibrator, and other vibrators are combined to vibrate the vibrator based on the audio current. A speaker device is configured with a vibration medium (vibrated body) on which the unit and the vibrator unit are mounted.

In order to achieve the above object, in the invention of claim 2, in addition to the configuration of the invention of claim 1, the vibrator unit has a predetermined game state in which a new pachinko ball is supplied to the ball tank. The gist of the control is to generate sound effects at a predetermined timing in conjunction with the.
In this way, by interlocking with the predetermined game state that is the supply of pachinko balls, sound effects are applied from the ball tank to the second flow path when supplying the pachinko balls to the ball tank causing the pachinko balls to be blocked. Since the vibration accompanying generation | occurrence | production of this can be given, a ball clogging can be prevented. This timing does not necessarily mean that the supply timing to the ball tank matches the vibration timing. For example, the vibration may be given so as to be slightly shifted from the timing of supply to the ball tank. Further, the supply time and the vibration time do not need to match. For example, you may make it vibrate for a time longer than supply time.

In the inventions described in the first and second aspects, it is possible to increase the number of sound sources and sound sound output outlets from the sound sources without changing the design of the front frame. In addition, since the plurality of transducer units are mounted at a predetermined distance in the acoustic path formed from the tank to the pachinko ball flow lower opening, the sound effect is hardly attenuated.

As shown in FIG. 4, a game ball collection case 121 is detachably disposed at a lower position of the mechanism panel 100.

Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 11 configured as described above will be described. In the present embodiment, the vibrator unit 67 mounted on the ball tank 102, the bypass passage 65 and the upper case rail 104 is used when a game ball is won and a predetermined prize ball is paid out in the pachinko gaming machine 11. Driven along with the payout operation. That is, the vibrator unit 67 is driven based on a predetermined sound current from the main control device and the sound lamp control device 47 synchronized with the operation when the payout device 106 is driven with the winning of the pachinko ball. Sound effects are generated. On the other hand, the cone type speaker unit 56 disposed on the front door 53 side generates a sound effect in synchronism with the payout of the pachinko ball, similar to the vibrator unit 67, but the game progresses even in cases other than the payout. A sound effect is generated in response.
When the audio current flows through the vibrator unit 67, the exciter drive coil is excited according to the strength of the current to vibrate the element. Along with this vibration, the wall surface on which the ball tank 102, the bypass passage 65, and the vibrator unit 67 of the upper case rail 104 are individually vibrated and generate sound. As shown in FIG. 10, sound effects generated in the ball tank 102 are transmitted in the direction of the upper case rail 104 using the tank rail 103 as a sound path. Although the sound effect generated in the ball tank 102 is gradually attenuated, the sound pressure level is amplified and the downstream main case rail 105 and the lower portion are also generated in the upper case rail 104 because the sound effect is also generated by the vibrator unit 67. It is transmitted in the case rail 107 direction. At this time, a sound path through which sound effects are transmitted is formed by the tank rail 103, the upper case rail 104, the main case rail 105, and the lower case rail 107.
The sound effect is emitted from the mechanism panel 100 side through the main outlet 58 of the door frame 51 (front door 53) as the sound outlet at the upper outlet 78 of the door panel 52. On the other hand, since the sound effect is also generated by the vibrator unit 67 in the bypass passage 65 serving as the sound passage, the sound effect generated in the bypass passage 65 from the upper flow outlet 78 is also combined with the sound from the mechanism panel 100 side. It is emitted from the downstream port 78. Further, the sound effect from the mechanism panel 100 side is transmitted through the bypass passage 65 as a sound passage, and is combined with the sound effect generated in the bypass passage 65 and is emitted from the lower plate outlet 59 as the sound outlet.

The pachinko gaming machine 11 configured as described above has the following effects.
(1) A vibrator unit 67 using an exciter is used in addition to the conventional cone-type speaker device 56. In addition to the speaker front panel 86, an upper flow outlet 78 and a lower flow outlet which are originally pachinko ball outlets are used. Since the sound effect is generated from 82, the number of sound effect outlets is increased as compared to the conventional case, and a more realistic sound effect can be provided to the player. Moreover, it is not necessary to change the design of the front door 53 and the gaming machine main body 14 in particular.
(2) The vibrator unit 67 is disposed on the mechanism panel 100 side, and the vibration on the mechanism panel 100 side is hardly transmitted to the gaming machine main body 14 or the front door 53 side by the packing 112, so that the player who plays the game Even when the ball launching handle 85 is held or the hand is put on the door panel 52, the vibration of the vibrator unit 67 is not felt.
(3) Since the vibrator unit 67 is mounted at three positions on the mechanism panel 100 side at a predetermined distance, sound effects pass through the case rails 104, 105, 107 and the bypass passage 65 as sound paths. Therefore, the sound effect reaching the upper and lower flow outlets 78 and 82 is not easily attenuated.
(4) Unlike the cone type speaker device 56, each transducer unit 67 emits a sound effect when the dispensing device 106, which is closely related to the supply of the pachinko balls to the ball tank 102, is driven. Therefore, the vibration generated when the sound effect is generated contributes to the prevention of clogging of the ball during the supply of the pachinko ball to the flow down.

The present invention can be implemented with the following modifications.
In the above embodiment, a packing 112 made of rubber sponge is attached around the entire contact portion of the frame 101 on the mechanism panel 100 side that contacts the gaming machine main body 14, and is derived from the vibrator unit 67 on the mechanism panel 100 side. Although vibration was prevented from being transmitted to other panels (the gaming machine main body 14 and the front door 53), each member (ball tank 102, The upper case rail 104 and the bypass passage 65) may be fixed to the frame 101 via cushion materials 125 as vibration damping materials, respectively, to prevent transmission of vibration.
In the above, unlike the cone-type speaker device 56, the vibrator unit 67 generates a sound effect only when winning a game ball. You may make it make it.
A unique sound effect may be generated only in the vibrator unit 67 different from the cone type speaker device 56. For example, a particularly low-pitched sound effect that supplements the sound effect of the cone type speaker device 56 may be generated from the upper flow outlet 78 and the lower flow outlet 82.
It is also possible to arrange the vibrator unit 67 in a member that becomes a sound path other than the ball tank 102, the upper case rail 104, and the bypass path 65 that can transmit sound effects.
In the above embodiment, the vibrator unit 67 can be attached only to the bypass passage 65.
In the above embodiment, the bypass passage 65 is disposed on the front door 53, but may be disposed on the gaming machine main body 14 side. The shape of the bypass passage 65 is not limited to the above.
In addition, it is free to implement in a mode that does not depart from the spirit of the present invention.
