Description

The present invention relates to an inclination adjusting system for attaching a pachinko machine to a pachinko island at a predetermined inclination, and an inclination adjusting unit for adjusting the inclination.

The pachinko machine will be installed on the pachinko island located inside the pachinko shop with a tilted backward slope.
Therefore, this tilt angle is specified to be within 1 ° backward, and each tilt angle is recommended depending on the model.
To attach the pachinko machine to the pachinko island, first attach the pachinko machine frame to the pachinko island, and then attach the pachinko machine to the pachinko machine frame so that it can be opened and closed.
When this pachinko underframe is attached by an attachment means such as a nail or a screw, the work of maintaining and attaching the underframe while checking the inclination of the underframe requires skill and lacks accuracy, and the pachinko is not accurate. If the inclination of the pachinko machine measured after the installation of the table is not the predetermined inclination at the beginning, changing the inclination of the single installed pachinko underframe is a complicated task.

On the other hand, if the pachinko underframe is attached to the pachinko island at a predetermined inclination, the pachinko table attached to the pachinko underframe will be installed at the same inclination, but in reality, the pachinko underframe and the pachinko table are inclined. Are often different.
From the above viewpoint, various tilt adjusting means have been known for mounting the pachinko machine on the pachinko island, and the tilt adjusting means also serves as a mounting means for the pachinko stand.
The inclination adjusting means is installed on the top plate of the pachinko island that forms the installation section of the pachinko underframe, while the lower plate of the pachinko island is provided with the lower mounting means of the pachinko underframe.
To attach the pachinko machine to the pachinko island, first place the pachinko machine frame in the installation section of the pachinko island, attach the upper plate to the inclination adjusting means, and attach the lower plate to the lower mounting means.
Next, the pachinko machine is attached to the pachinko machine frame, the inclination of the pachinko machine is measured, the inclination adjusting means is operated, the lower part of the pachinko machine frame is used as a fulcrum, and the upper part is moved back and forth to adjust the predetermined inclination. Set to.
In the above, in order to set the inclination of the pachinko machine, an inclination adjusting means for mounting the upper part of the pachinko machine frame, a lower mounting means for attaching the lower part of the pachinko machine frame, an inclination measuring means for measuring the inclination of the pachinko machine, and an inclination measuring means. An inclination adjusting system composed of the operating means of the inclination adjusting means is required.

In Patent Document 1, a control wire is connected to the rear end of the tilt adjusting means, and the operation portion of the control wire is provided on the front side of the pachinko island. In this state, the control wire is rotated to adjust the inclination of the pachinko machine.

In Patent Document 2, the inclination of the pachinko machine is adjusted by a stepping motor, the control box, and a sensor installed on the pachinko machine.
Control boxes are installed on Pachinko Island, one for each corresponding pachinko machine, and each is connected to a power source inside Pachinko Island.
Further, the sensor is installed on the underframe of the pachinko machine, and one sensor is similarly provided for each corresponding pachinko machine.
The tilt of the pachinko machine is measured by a sensor, and the stepping motor is driven by the control of the control box to set the pachinko machine to a predetermined tilt.
The above operation is performed by wireless remote control from the outside, and the above control box includes a radio signal receiving circuit and a control circuit that controls the rotation of the stepping motor by the sensor signal.

In Patent Document 3, the inclination of the pachinko machine is adjusted by an actuator such as a cylinder or a motor, this controller, and an inclination measuring instrument.
One controller is provided for each pachinko machine, and a sensor is also provided. Therefore, the same as in Patent Document 2 except that an inclination measuring device is used to measure the inclination of the pachinko machine.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2012-1157 JP-A-2007-259961 JP-A-2011-24604

Inside the pachinko island where the pachinko machine is installed, a pachinko ball supply rail and bill transport equipment are installed.
In Patent Document 1, it is often difficult to connect the control wire connected to the rear end of the inclination adjusting means because there is no connection space.
Further, the operation of adjusting the inclination of the pachinko machine is performed by manually touching the board of the pachinko machine with a measuring instrument, checking the measured value, and rotating the control wire provided on the pachinko island.
Since the operation position of the control wire is above the pachinko island, it is not possible to perform this operation at the same time while checking the inclination, and the work efficiency is poor.
In addition, when measuring the inclination by applying a measuring instrument to the board of the pachinko machine, the measurement is performed on each of the left and right sides of the board so that the pachinko machine does not twist to the left or right. There were many pachinko machines that were covered with and the board surface was not exposed, and the inclination could not be measured with the pachinko machines.

In Patent Document 2, as described above, one control box and one sensor are installed for each pachinko machine.
Since about 300 to 400 pachinko machines are installed per general pachinko parlor, the same number of control boxes and sensors as the pachinko machines are required, and electrical work with these wirings and power supplies is also required. Attached.
In addition, the sensor needs to be replaced every time a new pachinko machine is replaced. On the other hand, since there are various models of pachinko machines and their dimensions and shapes are different, it is difficult to keep the accuracy constant when mounting the sensor.

Also, when adjusting the tilt with a wireless remote controller, the output is limited because the magnitude of this output signal affects the adjacent pachinko machine, while the remote control box is installed above the pachinko machine. Therefore, in the case of a pachinko machine with a decoration protruding from the upper front, the signal is easily blocked, and it may not be possible to cover it by normal operation, such as avoiding obstacles and going up to a chair each time.
Further, in the case of the above wireless remote controller, there is a concern that the player can illegally operate the remote controller using the remote controller having the same signal.
Patent Document 3 has the same problems as Patent Document 2 except that the above-mentioned sensor is not required because the inclination of the pachinko machine is measured by a measuring instrument, and the specific structure and inclination of this measuring instrument are obtained. The measurement points of are not shown.

The tilt adjustment system for a pachinko machine of the present invention has been made in view of the above, and aims to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems.
That is, the inclination adjustment system of the pachinko machine is rationalized to reduce the cost of this device and incidental work, and the inclination adjustment system of the pachinko machine can efficiently adjust the inclination without erroneous operation. The purpose is to provide.
