[Discharge shutter member]
Next, details of the lower full sphere path unit 860 and the payout shutter member 870 in the payout unit 800 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 47, the normal taxiway 861 and the full tank taxiway 862 in the lower full tank path unit 860 have different heights in the vertical direction, and the full taxiway 862 is lower than the normal taxiway 861. Formed in position.
Further, from the lower full tank path unit 860 to the front end of the normal guide path 861 and the full tank guide path 862 (location facing the through ball path 526 and the full tank reception port 530 in the door frame 3), the dish unit 200. A payout shutter member 870 is provided to prevent and allow the game ball to be fed into the camera.

The payout shutter member 870 is pivotally supported at a substantially central position in the left-right direction at the front ends of the normal guiding path 861 and the full tank guiding path 862, and is attached to be rotatable about an axis in the longitudinal direction of the gaming machine. As shown in FIG. 48, the payout shutter member 870 is rotated to play a game from the lower full-ball path unit 860 to the dish unit 200 without blocking the front ends of the normal guide path 861 and the full tank guide path 862. An allowable position (first state) that allows the ball to be fed, and
The front end of the normal guiding path 861 and the full tank guiding path 862 is blocked, and the blocking position (second state) for blocking the feeding of game balls from the lower full ball path unit 860 to the dish unit 200 is switched. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 49, a shutter spring 872 is attached between the payout shutter member 870 and the normal guide path 861 and the full tank guide path 862. The payout shutter member 870 includes the shutter spring 872. Therefore, the normal guide path 861 and the full tank guide path 862 are urged to a position where they are closed.

As shown in FIG. 50, a lever member 871 having a curved tip end surface for turning the payout shutter member 870 is provided at the front portion of the payout shutter member 870. An operation protrusion 570 having an inclined portion is provided at a position where the door frame 3 on the back surface of the door frame 3 is in sliding contact with the lever member 871 when the door frame 3 is closed. When the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4 and the tip end surface of the lever member 871 and the inclined portion of the operating projection 570 slide, the payout shutter member 870 rotates counterclockwise, and the lower part of the lower part is fully filled. The position is switched to a permissible position (first state) that allows the game ball to be fed from the ball path unit 860 to the dish unit 200.
When the door frame 3 is opened with respect to the main body frame 4, the payout shutter member 870 closes the front ends of the normal guide path 861 and the full tank guide path 862 by urging by the shutter spring 872, and lower full tank The position is switched to a blocking position that prevents the game ball from being fed from the path unit 860 to the dish unit 200. Therefore, even when the door frame 3 is opened, it is possible to prevent the gaming ball from jumping out of the gaming machine from the lower full tank path unit 860.

[Characteristic effects of payout shutter member]
Since the payout shutter member 870 rotates between the upper end portion of the normal guide path 861 and the lower end portion of the full tank guide path 862, the payout shutter member 870 rotates from the first state to the second state. However, it does not move outside the range of the front ends of the normal guiding path 861 and the full tank guiding path 862. Therefore, there is no need for a space for storing the shutter member provided below the front ends of the normal guide path 861 and the full tank guide path 862, which is necessary for the vertically moving slide type shutter member used as the prior art. It becomes. Thereby, the vacant space can be effectively used, for example, as an arrangement space for other members.

  Furthermore, the up-and-down sliding type shutter member of the prior art also switches between the allowable position and the blocking position by opening and closing the door frame, but in order to move the shutter member in the vertical direction, it is related to the rotation of the door frame. In order to transmit the force vector in the front-rear direction to the shutter member, a member for converting the vector in the vertical direction is separately required. However, since the payout shutter member 870 in this embodiment transmits the force vector in the front-rear direction related to the rotation of the door frame 3 to the lever member 871 in the payout shutter member 870 and directly rotates it, it is conventional. In contrast to the technology, it is possible to reduce the number of necessary members.

  Further, the up-and-down sliding type shutter member of the prior art has a structure that slides between the front surface of the front end of the normal guide path 861 and the full guide path 862 and the lower side by opening and closing the door frame with respect to the main body frame. Therefore, although the movable range of the shutter member is wide, the sliding shutter member 870 is configured to rotate between the upper end portion of the normal guide path 861 and the lower end portion of the full tank guide path 862. It is possible to block the passage of the game ball and switch the allowance with a smaller range of motion than the above. Therefore, the game ball can be sent out to the dish unit 200 efficiently.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 48 (a), when the payout shutter member 870 rotates to the blocking position, the payout shutter member 870 moves the normal guiding path 861 and the full tank guiding path 862 to the front end, and the game ball to the dish unit. As shown in FIG. 48 (b), when the payout shutter member 870 is rotated to the allowable position, as shown in FIG. Since the lower right portion of the view is shaped so as to be along a part of the edge at the front ends of the normal guide path 861 and the full tank guide path 862, the game ball is sent out from the front ends of the normal guide path 861 and the full tank guide path 862. In this case, the payout shutter member 870 and the game ball do not interfere with each other. Thereby, it is possible to reliably send out the game ball to the dish unit 200.

  Further, the normal guide path 861 and the full tank guide path 862 in the lower full tank path unit 860 have different heights in the vertical direction, and the full tank guide path 862 is formed at a position lower than the normal guide path 861. Therefore, the moving distance of the payout shutter member 870 when the payout shutter member 870 is switched from the blocking position to the allowable position is smaller than that of a conventionally known vertical slide type shutter member. As a result, the switching time between the blocking position and the allowable position can be shortened, and the game ball can be sent out to the dish unit 200 more efficiently.

  The board unit 900 of the main body frame 4 has a board unit base 910 attached to the rear side of the main body frame base 600, and a rear side of the main body frame base 600 on the left side of the board unit base 910.

Interface control board box 940 in which a board is accommodated, and a payout control board box that is mounted across the power supply board box 930 and the interface control board box 940 and contains a payout control board that controls the dispensing of game balls. 950.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, etc., the game board 5 of the pachinko machine 1 defines the outer periphery of the game area 5a into which the game ball is to be shot, and the game ball launched from the ball launcher 680 is placed above the game area 5a. A front component member 1000 having a guide rail 1001 for guiding, a flat gaming panel 1100 attached to the rear side of the front component member 1000 and defining the rear end of the game area 5a, and a rear side of the game panel 1100 A box-shaped board holder 1200 attached to the lower part and opened upward, and a main control board housed inside the main control board for controlling the game of the pachinko machine 1 attached to the rear side of the board holder 1200 A table unit having a board box 1300 and a plurality of winning holes for receiving game balls that are attached to the game area 5a on the front side of the game panel 1100 and are driven into the game area 5a ( And a back unit (not shown) having a liquid crystal display device attached to the rear side of the gaming panel 1100 above the board box 1200 and visible from the player side through the gaming panel 1100. Yes.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the player rotates the handle lever 504 in a state where the game ball is stored in the upper plate 201, the ball launcher 680 plays the game with strength according to the rotation angle of the handle lever 504. A ball is driven into the game area 5 a of the game board 5. Then, when a game ball that has been thrown into the game area 5a is received in a prize opening (not shown), a predetermined number of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 201 by the payout device 830 in accordance with the received prize opening. . Since the player's interest can be enhanced by paying out the game balls, the game balls in the upper plate 201 can be driven into the game area 5a, and the game can be enjoyed by the player.

[2-1d-4. Features of production operation unit]
As shown in FIG. 32, the rendering operation unit 220 of the present embodiment has the lower end of the damper 222 attached to the damper mounting recess 240 c of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220 </ b> B in an assembled state from the lower surface of the lower case 240. Since this also protrudes downward, a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a of the unit case 231 of the mounting base unit 220A and the bottom surface of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220B. In addition, the front end surfaces (upper end surfaces) of the four horizontal support pins 231b of the unit case 231 coincide with the bottom face of the counterbore of the screw hole 243c of the base member 243, and upward of the touch unit 220B with respect to the horizontal support pins 231b. Movement is regulated by a flat washer on the head of a screw 227 screwed into the upper end of the lateral support pin 231b. Further, the tapered portion 231 i formed on the upper end side of the lateral support pin 231 b and the tapered portion 243 d formed on the lower end side of the screw hole 243 c of the base member 243 are separated from each other.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 33, in the rendering operation unit 220, the upper surface of the damper 222 inserted into the front support pin 231c of the unit case 231 is slightly smaller than the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a on the side of the lateral support pin 231b. Projects upward. Further, since a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a of the unit case 231 and the lower surface of the lower case 240, the upper surface of the damper 222 inserted into the front support pin 231c of the unit case 231 and the lower A gap is also formed between the lower surface of the case 240. Further, a gap is also formed between the upper surface of the central support protrusion 231 d of the unit case 231 and the lower surface of the lower case 240. That is, the touch unit 220B is attached to the attachment base unit 220A with the lower surface floating in the air by the dampers 222 inserted into the lateral support pins 231b on the left and right sides.

  Further, the rendering operation unit 220 is constricted downward in the unit case 231 in which the touch unit 220B is attached from above in a pyramid-shaped cylindrical receiving portion 230c constricted downward in the attachment base 230 of the attachment base unit 220A. The lower end of the full pyramidal receiving projection 231e is inserted. A slight gap is formed between the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c and the outer peripheral wall of the receiving protrusion 231e. Thus, in a normal state, only the vicinity of the outer periphery of the unit case 231 is attached to the attachment base 230 with the inside of the unit case 231 (the center side of the housing recess 231a) floating in the air.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21 and the like, the production operation unit 220 has a linear upper end of the linear light emitting portion 237b of the linear light emitting lens member 237 along the rear side close to the game area 5a in the touch unit 220B ( It is exposed in a band shape. The length of the upper end of the linear light emitting portion 237b is about 2/3 of the length of the rear side of the touch unit 220B. An upper dish rear decoration member 236 is disposed on the rear side of the upper end of the linear light emitting portion 237b exposed along the rear side of the touch unit 220B. Further, an upper dish ball removal button 239 is arranged on the right side of the upper dish rear decoration member 236 in front view. Further, a button unit 220C is arranged on the left side of the touch unit 220B when viewed from the front.

  The effect operation unit 220 can present various effects to the player in accordance with the game state that is changed by driving a game ball into the game area 5a. For example, by displaying an image on the upper liquid crystal display device 244 of the touch unit 220B, an image (effect image) can be presented to the player through the transparent touch panel 246 and can be enjoyed.

  As an image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244, an image imitating an operation button is displayed, and by allowing touch detection by the sensor sheet 246b of the touch panel 246 to be accepted, the image of the image can be displayed to the player. The operation buttons can be operated, and an effect using the touch panel 246 can be enjoyed. The image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 at the time of production using the touch panel 246 is not limited to the operation button, and various images can be displayed.

  Further, in the effect operation unit 220, the touch unit 220B is supported in a state of being lifted from the unit case 231 by the plurality of dampers 222, and therefore the touch unit 220B is operated by operating the vibration device 242 according to the gaming state. Can be vibrated. When the touch panel 246 is produced, the touch panel 246 (touch unit 220B) is vibrated by the vibration device 242 so that the vibration of the vibration device 242 is applied to the finger or hand of the player who is in contact with the touch panel 246. Even if the operation button of the image is operated to the player, the player can be surprised by illusioning that the actual operation button is operated. It is possible to suppress the interest from deteriorating by making the player entertain.

  Further, since the production operation unit 220 includes the button unit 220C on the left side of the front view of the touch unit 220B, the player can press the upper plate production button 257 according to the gaming state, and the upper plate production button 257 can be operated. You can entertain the operation. More specifically, the image operation buttons on the touch panel 246 only have a touch on the touch panel 246, so that the operation feeling is less than that of the actual operation buttons. However, the upper plate effect button 257 is actually pressed. Therefore, the operation of the upper plate effect button 257 does not give a sense of incongruity, the operation of the upper plate effect button 257 can be comfortably enjoyed, and the decrease in interest for the game can be suppressed. .

  Since the production operation unit 220 is arranged at a portion where the upper plate 201 is provided in the plate unit 200 bulging forward, the game can be performed even during production using the touch unit 220B or the button unit 220C. There is a possibility that a person may hit the touch unit 220B or the like from above. On the other hand, in the rendering operation unit 220, the touch unit 220B is supported by the damper 222 in a state of floating from the lower unit case 231. Therefore, even if the touch unit 220B is hit from above, the elasticity of the damper 222 The impact can be absorbed to some extent by force. More specifically, when an impact (load) is applied from above, such as when the touch unit 220B is struck, it is transmitted to the damper 222 in which the left and right lateral support pins 231b are inserted, and the damper 222 is lowered while the touch unit 220B is lowered. Is compressed. By compressing the damper 222 supported by the lateral support pins 231b, the impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed.

  Further, when the touch unit 220B is lowered by the impact, the lower surface of the lower case 240 comes into contact with the upper end of the damper 222 into which the front support pin 231c is inserted, and is supported by the front support pin 231c as the touch unit 220B is lowered. The damper 222 is compressed downward. Thereby, in addition to the damper 222 supported by the lateral support pin 231b, the shock from the touch unit 220B is also absorbed by the damper 222 supported by the front support pin 231c.

  When the touch unit 220B is further lowered by an impact acting on the touch unit 220B, the lower surface of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220B comes into contact with the bottom surfaces on both the left and right sides of the housing recess 231a and the upper surface of the central support protrusion 231d. Thereby, the impact from the touch unit 220 </ b> B directly acts on the unit case 231 from the touch unit 220 </ b> B without passing through the plurality of dampers 222.

  Further, when the touch unit 220B is lowered, the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a of the unit case 231 is bent by the load from the center support protrusion 231d so that the center moves downward. The impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed by the elastic force due to the bending of the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a. By bending the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a, the pair of receiving projections 231e projecting downward from the lower side of the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a is lowered. Then, when the receiving projection 231e is further lowered by the impact from the touch unit 220B, the lower end side of the outer peripheral wall of the receiving projection 231e comes into contact with the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c of the mounting base 230, and from the touch unit 220B. The impact is transmitted from the unit case 231 to the mounting base 230.

  Since the outer peripheral wall of the receiving projection 231e and the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c are each formed in a pyramid shape that narrows downward, the receiving projection 231e is directed to the cylindrical receiving portion 230c (on the mounting base 230 side). The transmitted load is distributed and transmitted in a direction along the bottom surface of the attachment side receiving portion 230a of the attachment base 230 and a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface. As described above, since the structure that absorbs the impact applied to the touch unit 220B before the transmission to the mounting base 230 is arranged in layers, the impact applied to the touch unit 220B is sufficiently absorbed. The touch unit 220B, the unit case 231, the mounting base 230 and the like can be made difficult to be damaged by the impact.

  In addition, the production operation unit 220 has a linear light emitting portion of a linear light emitting lens member 237 that extends along the outer peripheral edge on the rear side of the touch unit 220B by the peripheral LED 235b of the post-upper decorative board 235 according to the gaming state. The upper end of 237b can be emitted linearly. As a result, the player's interest can be attracted to the touch unit 220B, and the image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 in the touch unit 220B, the touch effect using the touch panel 246, etc. can be enjoyed and the interest is reduced. Can be suppressed.

  Further, depending on the gaming state, the decoration LED 235a on the back plate decoration board 235 is used to light-decorate the back plate decoration member 236 arranged on the rear side of the touch panel 220B (the rear side from the linear light emitting portion 237b). be able to. By decorating the back plate decoration member 236 with light emission, the player's interest is attracted to the effect operation unit 220 such as the touch unit 220B in the same manner as the light emission of the linear light emitting portion 237b of the linear light emitting lens member 237. It is possible to entertain the presentation presented by the presentation operation unit 220 and suppress the interest from deteriorating.

  Further, the touch unit 220B including the upper plate liquid crystal substrate 241 and the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 is attached to an upper plate lower covering portion 262, which will be described later, of the plate unit cover 260 by the mounting base 230 and the unit case 231 of the mounting base unit 220A. The waterproof seal 248 is pasted on the outer peripheral surface on the rear side of the touch unit 220B. Thereby, even if water (water droplets) condensed on the surface of the upper plate body 212 or the game ball by touching the outside air in the upper plate 201 flows to the lower side of the upper plate 201 (on the upper plate lower covering portion 262). In addition, it is possible to prevent the condensed water from entering the touch unit 220B, and it is possible to prevent the touch unit 220B from generating a malfunction.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 33, the post-upper decoration board 235 for decorating the post-upper decoration member 236 and the linear light-emitting lens member 237 is arranged at a position higher than the bottom surface of the upper plate 201. Without being exposed to water droplets condensed on the upper plate 201, it is possible to prevent problems such as short-circuiting and corrosion in the post-upper decorative substrate 235.

Since a gap is formed between the inner peripheral wall and the unit case 231 bends downward due to an impact or load from the touch unit 220B, the receiving projection 231e and the cylindrical receiving portion 230c come into contact with each other. Thus, an impact or the like is transmitted from the unit case 231 to the mounting base 230, and the impact or the like is transmitted to the mounting base 230 in a state further attenuated by the bending of the unit case 231. Since the outer peripheral wall of the receiving projection 231e and the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c are narrowed downward, when the receiving protruding portion 231e and the cylindrical receiving portion 230c come into contact with each other, the receiving projection 231e (unit case) 231) The impact, load, etc. from the side are transmitted in an oblique direction with respect to the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230, and the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230 and along the bottom surface. As a result, the force in the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface (downward) that causes the mounting base 230 to bend is reduced and transmitted to the mounting base 230 side. Therefore, even if the touch unit 220B is hit from the upper side or strongly pressed, the impacts and the like can be effectively attenuated by the plurality of dampers 222, the unit case 231, and the mounting base 230. The attachment base unit 220A can be prevented from being damaged.
