Then, the payout control unit 400, for example, information on the number of prize balls instructed to pay out to the payout driving unit 411, information on the number of prize balls actually paid out detected by the payout ball detection unit 412, etc. Is transmitted to the host computer via the frame external information terminal board 450. Also, similar information is transmitted to the game control unit 200.

Next, the launching device 500 will be described.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the big winning opening 125 that is opened when the result of the special symbol lottery is a big win is arranged in the right area in the game area 111 and is guided by the guide member 113. A game nail is arranged so that most of the game balls supplied to the right area in the game area 111 enter the big prize opening 125. Therefore, it is possible for a player to acquire a large number of prize balls while suppressing a decrease in the number of possessed balls by launching a game ball toward the right area in the game area 111, so-called right hit. Become.

Therefore, the launching device 500 according to the present embodiment is configured to be able to supply a game ball to the right region in the game region 111 with a higher probability when the player makes a right strike. ing. This will be described in detail below.
As described above, the launching device 500 is a launching mechanism unit as an example of a launching unit that launches a game ball with launching strength according to an operation angle (operation amount) of a rotation operation of the handle 151 and the handle lever 152 by the player. 510, and a ball feed mechanism unit 520 as an example of a ball feed unit that sequentially supplies game balls one by one to the launch position of the launch mechanism unit 510.

4, 5, and 6 are diagrams for explaining the ball feeding mechanism 520.
The ball feed mechanism 520 is preset in the case 521 (see FIG. 1) with a ball feed solenoid 522 that is driven by being energized and a rotation axis by energizing or de-energizing the ball feed solenoid 522. And a ball feed member 523 that swings within an angle range. When the ball feed solenoid 522 is not energized, the ball feed member 523 is positioned at an angle at which the game ball is stopped at the entrance of the ball feed passage 524 formed in the case 521 (state shown in FIG. 4). When the feed solenoid 522 is energized, it rotates (state shown in FIG. 5) and guides only one game ball to the ball feed passage 524. Thereafter, when the ball feed solenoid 522 is not energized, the ball feed member 523 rotates in a direction to return to the original position by the restoring force of the spring 525 provided in the ball feed solenoid 522 (the state of FIG. 6). The game ball guided to the passage 524 is guided to a launch rail 514 described later.

FIG. 7 is a view for explaining the firing mechanism 510.
The firing mechanism 510 is rotated within a predetermined angle range around a rotation axis by energizing or de-energizing the firing solenoid 511 by being energized or de-energized, and placed at the firing position. And a launcher 512 for launching the game ball placed toward the game area 111. In addition, the launch mechanism 510 is formed with a launch passage 513 that guides the game ball launched by the launcher 512 toward the game area 111. A ball holding portion 515 that holds a game ball at the launch position is provided together with the rail 514. The upper part of the ball holding portion 515 has a function of suppressing the launching rod 512 from rotating in the counterclockwise direction when viewed in FIG. Moreover, the firing mechanism 510 has a suppressing unit 516 that suppresses the launching rod 512 from rotating in the clockwise direction when viewed in FIG.

  In the launch mechanism 510 configured in this manner, when the launch solenoid 511 is energized, the launch rod 512 directly connected to the launch solenoid 511 rotates in the clockwise direction when viewed in FIG. The game ball is fired by hitting the game ball guided to the launch position at 520 with the tip of the launcher 512 (state of FIG. 7B). Thereafter, when the firing solenoid 511 is not energized, the launching rod 512 returns to its original position due to its own weight and the force of the magnet in the firing solenoid 511 (state of FIG. 7A).

  The firing solenoid 511 is a rotary solenoid, and the firing strength of the hit ball increases as the current level (height) of the supplied pulse current increases. The current level of the pulse current supplied to the firing solenoid 511 is adjusted according to the operation angle (operation amount) of the rotation operation of the handle lever 152. That is, the launch intensity of the game ball is adjusted according to the operation angle (operation amount) of the rotation operation of the handle lever 152 by the player.

Next, a mechanism for adjusting the launch intensity of the game ball will be described.
The handle 151 is fixed to the frame member 150 and is disposed on the front side of the handle base 152a (see FIG. 1) that rotatably supports the handle lever 152. When the player operates the handle lever 152, And a handle cap 151b (see FIG. 1) for assisting the player's operation. A torsion coil spring having one end connected to the handle lever 152 and the other end connected to the handle base 151a is attached to the handle base 151a. The torsion coil spring causes the handle lever 152 to be as viewed in FIG. A rotational force in the counterclockwise direction is applied.

FIG. 8 is a view showing the inside of the handle base 151a. FIG. 8A is a view showing a state where the handle lever 152 is not rotated, and FIG. 8B is a view showing a state where the handle lever 152 is rotated in the clockwise direction from the state shown in FIG. It is.
Inside the handle base 151a, there are a rotation shaft 531, a first gear 532 that rotates within a predetermined angle range around the rotation shaft 531 together with the handle lever 152, and a variable resistance for detecting the rotation operation angle of the handle lever 152. 533. A second gear 534 that meshes with the first gear 532 is fixed to the rotor shaft of the variable resistor 533.

  With this configuration, when the handle lever 152 is rotated, the first gear 532 is rotated, and the second gear 534 is rotated with the rotation of the first gear 532. As the second gear 534 rotates, the rotor shaft of the variable resistor 533 rotates by an angle corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle lever 152. In the firing device 500 according to the present embodiment, when the handle lever 152 is rotated, a voltage signal corresponding to the rotational angle of the rotor shaft of the variable resistor 533 is output to the firing drive unit of the firing control device 550 described later. Output to 580.

Next, the touch sensor 535 (see FIG. 1) provided in the handle 151 will be described.
The handle 151 has a touch sensor 535 for detecting contact of a player (human body). The touch sensor 535 is, for example, a capacitive sensor. When the player touches the handle lever 152, the touch sensor 535 detects that the player has touched the handle lever 152, and sends a touch signal to a firing control device 550 described later. .

Next, a mechanism for stopping the launch of the game ball will be described.
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a mechanism for stopping the launch of the game ball.
In addition, the handle 151 is connected to the inside of the handle base 151a, a stop switch 541 for stopping the launch of the game ball, a switch lever 542 that is turned by being pressed and turns on the stop switch 541, and the switch lever 542. Part of the lever has a stop button 543 protruding outside the handle base 151a. On the stop button 543, a convex portion 543a extending in the rotation axis direction of the handle lever 152 is formed inside the handle base 151a. The handle lever 152 is formed with a contact portion 152a that comes into contact with the convex portion 543a when not operated and displaces the stop button 543 in a direction to turn on the stop switch 541. The stop button 543 is given a force in a direction toward the outside.

  With this configuration, when the handle lever 152 is not rotated by the player, the contact portion 152a of the handle lever 152 comes into contact with the convex portion 543a of the stop button 543, and the stop button 543 is pushed inward, so that the switch lever 542 Is displaced in the direction in which the stop switch 541 is turned ON (state shown in FIG. 9A). Thereby, the launch of the game ball is stopped.

  When the player rotates the handle lever 152 and the contact portion 152a of the handle lever 152 does not contact the convex portion 543a of the stop button 543, the stop button 543 is opened and displaced outward, and the stop switch 541 is It becomes OFF (state of FIG. 9B). When the player presses the stop button 543 from such a state, the switch lever 542 is displaced and the stop switch 541 is turned on (state shown in FIG. 9C). Thereby, even if the handle lever 152 is rotated, the launch of the game ball is stopped.

<First Embodiment>
Next, the launch control apparatus 550 according to the first embodiment will be described.
FIG. 10 is a block diagram of the launch control apparatus 550 according to the first embodiment. The launch control device 550 is configured on the launch control board 560 (see FIG. 1).
The firing control device 550 is based on a timing signal generator 571 that outputs a firing timing signal and a ball feed timing signal at predetermined time intervals, and a voltage signal corresponding to the rotation angle of the rotor shaft of the variable resistor 533 in advance. A change amount calculation unit 572 that calculates a change amount of the rotation angle of the handle lever 152 per predetermined time, and a voltage corresponding to the change amount calculated by the change amount calculation unit 572 and the rotation angle of the rotor shaft of the variable resistor 533 A launch control unit 570 having a launch intensity signal output unit 573 that outputs a launch intensity signal that is a signal corresponding to the launch intensity to be controlled based on the signal is provided.

  Further, the launch control device 550 responds to the launch intensity based on the launch timing signal output from the timing signal generation unit 571 of the launch control unit 570 and the level signal corresponding to the launch intensity output from the launch intensity signal output unit 573. A firing drive unit 580 that supplies a pulse current of a predetermined level to the firing solenoid 511, and a ball feed drive unit 590 that supplies a pulse current corresponding to the ball feed timing signal output from the timing signal generation unit 571 to the ball feed solenoid 522. Have.

  The timing signal generator 571 receives a touch signal from the touch sensor 535 and a stop signal from the stop switch 541. Further, the timing signal generator 571 includes a main stop signal that is a signal indicating that the game is stopped from the game control unit 200 and a payout stop signal that is a signal indicating that payout is stopped from the payout control unit 400. Are entered.

  The timing signal generation unit 571 receives a touch signal from the touch sensor 535, and includes a stop signal from the stop switch 541, a main stop signal from the game control unit 200, and a payout stop signal from the payout control unit 400. A firing timing signal and a ball feed timing signal are output on condition that no stop signal is input. In other words, the timing signal generation unit 571 does not output the firing timing signal and the ball feed timing signal unless the touch signal from the touch sensor 535 is input. Further, even if a touch signal from the touch sensor 535 is input, if any stop signal is input, the firing timing signal and the ball feed timing signal are not output.

Then, the timing signal generation unit 571 generates and outputs a timing signal described below when the firing condition that the touch signal is input and no stop signal is input is satisfied.
FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a launch timing signal and a ball feed timing signal generated and output by the timing signal generation unit 571 according to the first embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 11, after the firing condition is established, the timing signal generation unit 571 launches a ball feed timing signal having a time width Tf and a time interval Tc (for example, an interval of 0.6 seconds), and firing a time interval Tc with a time width Tb. A timing signal is generated and output.

A voltage signal corresponding to the rotation angle of the rotor shaft of the variable resistor 533 is input to the change amount calculation unit 572. Then, the change amount calculation unit 572 calculates the change amount of the rotation angle of the handle lever 152 per predetermined time, in other words, the rotation speed of the handle lever 152 per predetermined time.
The firing intensity signal output unit 573 receives the change amount calculated by the change amount calculation unit 572 and a voltage signal corresponding to the rotation angle of the rotor shaft of the variable resistor 533. The firing intensity signal output unit 573 calculates the rotation angle of the handle lever 152 based on a voltage signal corresponding to the rotation angle of the rotor shaft of the variable resistor 533, and the calculated rotation angle is a predetermined rotation angle (hereinafter referred to as “rotation angle”). In some cases, it is referred to as a “reference rotation angle.” In the case of the above, a firing intensity signal that is a signal proportional to the calculated rotation angle is output to the firing drive unit 580. Alternatively, the firing intensity signal output unit 573 is configured such that the voltage signal corresponding to the rotation angle of the rotor shaft of the variable resistor 533 corresponds to a voltage corresponding to a predetermined rotation angle (reference rotation angle) (hereinafter referred to as “reference voltage signal”). In such a case, a firing intensity signal, which is a signal proportional to the voltage signal, is output to the firing drive unit 580.

  On the other hand, when the calculated rotation angle is smaller than the reference rotation angle, or when the input voltage signal is smaller than the reference voltage signal, the firing intensity signal output unit 573 outputs a firing intensity signal of the following level to the firing drive unit 580. Output to. That is, the firing intensity signal output unit 573 calculates the rotation angle when the change amount calculated by the change amount calculation unit 572 is smaller than a predetermined change amount (hereinafter also referred to as “reference change amount”). Alternatively, a firing intensity signal having a level proportional to the input voltage signal is output to the firing drive unit 580. On the other hand, when the change amount calculated by the change amount calculation unit 572 is greater than or equal to the reference change amount, a predetermined launch intensity signal (hereinafter also referred to as a “prescribed launch intensity signal”) may be used. Output to 580. The prescribed firing strength signal is a signal at a level that can be set to a firing strength that is equal to or higher than the firing strength that allows a game ball to be supplied to the right region in the gaming region 111.

  The launch drive unit 580 combines the launch timing signal from the timing signal generation unit 571 of the launch control unit 570 and the launch intensity signal from the launch intensity signal output unit 573, has a level corresponding to the launch intensity, and has a time width. A pulse signal having a time interval Tc is obtained as a firing drive signal at Tb, and a drive current is supplied so as to drive the firing solenoid 511 with a torque corresponding to the firing drive signal. In other words, the firing driving unit 580 is based on the firing timing signal from the timing signal generating unit 571 of the firing control unit 570, and the driving current is proportional to the level input from the firing intensity signal output unit 573 for Tb time after the firing condition is established. Is supplied to the firing solenoid 511, and supply of a drive current proportional to the level input from the firing intensity signal output unit 573 is repeated at time Tb every time interval Tc elapses after the firing condition is satisfied.

  The ball feed drive unit 590 combines the ball feed timing signal from the timing signal generation unit 571 of the firing control unit 570 and a signal having a level corresponding to a predetermined drive current, and has this level, and has a time width Tf. Thus, a pulse signal having a time interval Tc is obtained as a ball feed drive signal, and a drive current is supplied so that the ball feed solenoid 522 is driven with a torque corresponding to the ball feed drive signal. In other words, the ball feed drive unit 590 sends a predetermined drive current to the ball feed solenoid 522 for Tf time after the firing condition is established based on the ball feed timing signal from the timing signal generation unit 571 of the launch control unit 570. In addition to the supply, the supply of the same drive current is repeated for the time Tf every time interval Tc elapses after the firing condition is satisfied.

Note that the reference rotation angle is the lowest rotation angle at which the shooting intensity can be supplied to the right area in the game area 111 when the shooting intensity is proportional to the rotation angle of the handle lever 152. It can be exemplified. Further, it can be exemplified that the prescribed firing intensity signal is a signal of a firing intensity level corresponding to the reference rotation angle. In other words, when a prescribed launch intensity signal is output to the launch drive unit 580, the signal is at a level at which a game ball is supplied to the right region.
The reference change amount is a change amount of the rotation angle of the handle lever 152 per predetermined time when the player hits the right, and is a value that is arbitrarily set in consideration of the ease of use of the handle lever 152 and the like. It is. Therefore, the smaller the force required to rotate the handle lever 152, in other words, the weaker the force of the torsion coil spring that applies the counterclockwise rotation force to the handle lever 152, the smaller the reference change amount. You may increase.

The launching device 500 configured as described above operates as follows.
FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating the relationship between the ball feed drive signal, the firing drive signal, and the rotation angle of the handle lever 152 according to the first embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 12, for example, in the second half of the second time interval Tc after the firing condition is satisfied, the rotation angle of the handle lever 152 is smaller than the reference rotation angle, but the handle lever 152 per predetermined time is Assume that the amount of change in the rotation angle is greater than or equal to the reference amount of change.
In this case, the launch intensity signal output unit 573 outputs a launch intensity signal at a level proportional to the rotation angle of the handle lever 152 until the second time after the launch condition is satisfied, and the change amount calculation unit for the third time after the launch condition is satisfied. Since the amount of change calculated by 572 is equal to or greater than the reference amount of change, the firing intensity signal output unit 573 outputs a prescribed firing intensity signal to the firing drive unit 580. Since the rotation angle of the handle lever 152 is larger than the reference rotation angle after the fourth time after the firing condition is established, the firing strength signal output unit 573 outputs a firing strength signal at a level proportional to the rotational angle of the handle lever 152. . As a result, the firing drive unit 580 obtains a firing drive signal as shown in FIG. 12, and supplies a drive current so as to drive the firing solenoid 511 with a torque corresponding to the firing drive signal. Further, the ball feed drive unit 590 obtains a ball feed drive signal as shown in FIG. 12, and supplies a drive current so as to drive the ball feed solenoid 522 with a torque corresponding to the ball feed drive signal. Therefore, even if the player supplies a game ball to the right area in the game area 111, so-called right-handed suddenly, the player will be supplied from the initial ball to the right area of the game area 111 with higher probability. It becomes. That is, based on the prescribed firing intensity signal at the third firing timing after the firing condition is established, even though the rotation angle of the handle lever 152 is not the reference rotational angle before the third firing timing after the firing condition is established. Since the driving current is supplied, the game ball is supplied to the right region from this time.

  As described above, the firing control device 550 controls the firing solenoid 511 so that the firing intensity corresponding to the reference rotation angle is obtained even if the rotation angle of the handle lever 152 has not reached the reference rotation angle. Is preferably performed only when the result of the special symbol lottery is a big hit. In the pachinko gaming machine 100, the big winning opening 125 is arranged so as to hit the right at the time of the big hit, it is difficult to think that the player hits the right other than the big hit, and the change amount calculated by the change amount calculation unit 572 is the big hit time. This is because it is difficult to think of an operation intended to be right-handed even if it exceeds the reference change amount. And it becomes possible to suppress that a game ball is supplied to the area | region on the right side by this, although a player does not intend.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, the launch control apparatus 650 according to the second embodiment will be described. Hereinafter, differences from the firing control apparatus 550 according to the first embodiment will be described, and the same configurations and functions will be denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
FIG. 13 is a block diagram of a launch control apparatus 650 according to the second embodiment. The launch control device 650 is configured on the launch control board 560 (see FIG. 1).
The launch control device 650 includes a change amount calculation unit 572 and a timing signal generation unit 671 that outputs a launch timing signal and a ball feed timing signal based on the change amount calculated by the change amount calculation unit 572. It has.

  The change amount calculated by the change amount calculation unit 572 and a voltage signal corresponding to the rotation angle of the rotor shaft of the variable resistor 533 are input to the timing signal generation unit 671. The timing signal generation unit 671 is configured so that the rotation angle of the handle lever 152 calculated based on the voltage signal corresponding to the rotation angle of the rotor shaft of the variable resistor 533 is equal to or greater than the reference rotation angle, or the variable resistor 533 If the voltage signal corresponding to the rotation angle of the rotor shaft is greater than or equal to the reference voltage signal, the touch signal from the touch sensor 535 is input and no stop signal is input. 11, a ball feed timing signal with a time interval Tc with a time width Tf and a firing timing signal with a time interval Tc with a time width Tb are generated and output.

  On the other hand, when the calculated rotation angle is smaller than the reference rotation angle, or when the input voltage signal is smaller than the reference voltage signal, the timing signal generation unit 671 outputs the timing signal as follows. In other words, when the change amount calculated by the change amount calculation unit 572 is smaller than the reference change amount, the timing signal generation unit 671, as shown in FIG. Then, a firing timing signal with a time interval Tc and a time interval Tb is generated and output. On the other hand, when the change amount calculated by the change amount calculation unit 572 is greater than or equal to the reference change amount, generation of the next ball feed timing signal and the firing timing signal to be generated and output at the time interval Tc is paused.

  The firing drive unit 580 receives the firing timing signal output from the timing signal generation unit 671 and a voltage signal corresponding to the rotation angle of the rotor shaft of the variable resistor 533. Then, the firing drive unit 580 combines the firing timing signal from the timing signal generation unit 671 of the firing control unit 670 and the voltage signal at a level corresponding to the rotation angle of the rotor shaft of the variable resistor 533 to obtain the firing intensity. A pulse signal having a corresponding level and having a time width Tb is obtained as a firing drive signal, and a drive current is supplied so as to drive the firing solenoid 511 with a torque corresponding to the firing drive signal. In other words, the firing drive unit 580 supplies a drive current proportional to the level corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle lever 152 to the firing solenoid 511 for Tb time based on the firing timing signal from the timing signal generation unit 671 of the firing control unit 670. Supply.

  The ball feed driving unit 590 combines the ball feed timing signal from the timing signal generation unit 671 of the firing control unit 670 and a signal having a level corresponding to a predetermined drive current, and has this level, and has a time width Tf. Is supplied as a ball feed drive signal, and a drive current is supplied so that the ball feed solenoid 522 is driven with a torque corresponding to the ball feed drive signal. In other words, the ball feed drive unit 590 supplies a predetermined drive current to the ball feed solenoid 522 for Tf time based on the ball feed timing signal from the timing signal generation unit 671 of the firing control unit 670.

The launching device having the launch control device 650 configured as described above operates as follows.
FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating the relationship between the ball feed drive signal, the firing drive signal, and the rotation angle of the handle lever 152 according to the second embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 14, for example, in the second half of the second time interval Tc after the firing condition is satisfied, the rotation angle of the handle lever 152 is smaller than the reference rotation angle, but the handle lever 152 per predetermined time is Assume that the amount of change in the rotation angle is greater than or equal to the reference amount of change.
In such a case, the timing signal generator 671 outputs the ball feed timing signal and the launch timing signal until the second time after the launch condition is satisfied, and the change amount calculated by the change amount calculator 572 is the third time after the launch condition is satisfied. Since the reference change amount is exceeded, the generation / output of the ball feed timing signal and the firing timing signal are suspended. Since the rotation angle of the handle lever 152 is larger than the reference rotation angle after the fourth time after the firing condition is established, the timing signal generation unit 671 outputs a ball feed timing signal and a firing timing signal. As a result, the firing drive unit 580 obtains a firing drive signal as shown in FIG. 14 and supplies a drive current so as to drive the firing solenoid 511 with a torque corresponding to the firing drive signal. Further, the ball feed drive unit 590 obtains a ball feed drive signal as shown in FIG. 14 and supplies a drive current so as to drive the ball feed solenoid 522 with a torque corresponding to the ball feed drive signal.

  Therefore, when the player suddenly makes a so-called right strike, the player is supplied from the initial ball to the area on the right side of the game area 111 with a higher probability. That is, the firing timing is reached when the handle lever 152 is sufficiently rotated, and the current level of the drive current supplied to the firing solenoid 511 is increased at the next firing timing, so that the firing strength is increased and the game It is supplied to the area on the right side of the area 111.
