[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to the back mechanism of a pachinko machine, and more specifically, it includes a prize ball ejection mechanism, a prize ball control mechanism, and a prize ball ejection state display means. This invention relates to a pachinko machine that ejects prize balls using electrical control.

<Prior art> For example, the present applicant has developed a system that electrically connects the prize ball ejection mechanism and the winning ball control mechanism in the back mechanism of a conventional pachinko machine and discharges the prize balls by electrical control. The previously proposed Jikoko 52-
Known from Publication No. 15330 or Special Publication No. 1973
Various methods are known from Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 54-53045 and the like.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, in the back mechanism of conventional pachinko machines, the prize ball ejection mechanism and winning ball control mechanism, which can be said to be the heart of the back mechanism, are arranged on one side on the back side of the game board. Moreover, they were either intricately formed or separated and formed individually. For this reason, not only is the work of assembling the back mechanism parts to the pachinko machine, adjustment work, maintenance and inspection work cumbersome, resulting in poor work efficiency, but also the large game devices and large batted ball winning devices that protrude from the back side of the game board, which are currently popular. It was difficult to put on. In addition, the above-mentioned pachinko machine has a complex and large structure that electrically controls the prize ball ejection mechanism section and the prize ball control mechanism section to eject the prize balls. When the batted ball winning device is equipped with a special game mode during the game,
This large-sized batted ball winning device has been converted to a state where it can easily accept batted balls, and a large amount of winning balls are generated in a short period of time, making it suitable for pachinko machines that have become popular among players recently. However, the cycle time for ejecting one prize ball becomes unstable and the overall time for ejecting the prize balls becomes longer, giving the player a sense of distrust and dissatisfaction, making it impossible to put it to practical use.

In addition, in recent pachinko machines, in order to increase the interest and sense of realism of the game, when the above-mentioned special game mode is formed, during the special game or every time a ball hits a prize during the special game, a " Beep beep,
Each pachinko machine is configured to emit special electronic sound effects such as "Hiyun hiyun...", and while the sound effects enhance the sense of excitement and realism for players, on the other hand, prizes are awarded based on the winning ball. The situation has become such that it is difficult to confirm through hearing whether or not the ball ejecting operation has been performed.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention simplifies the configuration of the prize ball ejection mechanism section and the winning ball control mechanism section, and even when a large number of winning balls occur continuously,
It is possible to reliably and accurately eject a predetermined number of prize balls for each winning ball in the shortest ejection cycle, and the state of ejection of prize balls that is performed at high speed can be displayed to the player via a prize ball ejection state display means. Visibly display the
To provide a pachinko machine that can be visually recognized without being distracted by sound effects, etc. during a special game.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention was developed in view of the above, and includes a storage tank on the back side of the game board that stores the balls above it, and a derivation tank that rectifies and draws out the balls in the storage tank. On one side, there is provided a guide gutter which is bent in a meandering manner and communicates with the lead-out gutter, a ball shortage detector installed in the middle of the guide gutter to detect a lack of balls, and a ball shortage detector provided below the guide gutter. A prize ball discharge device that discharges a predetermined number of prize balls by the operation of an electric drive source, a prize ball discharge gutter that guides the prize balls discharged by the prize ball discharge device, and a prize ball discharge gutter that guides the prize balls ejected by the prize ball discharge device. A prize ball discharging mechanism section consisting of a prize ball distributing gutter that controls the flow of prize balls to an upper tray or a lower tray provided on the surface, and an opening for receiving prize balls facing the alignment flow path outlet of the collecting gutter and flowing from the collecting gutter. A controller that rotates due to the weight of the winning ball, a winning ball flow down gutter through which the winning ball discharged by the rotation of the controller, and a winning ball flowing downward by facing the middle of the winning ball flow down gutter. Winning ball control mechanisms are formed on the upper and lower sides, respectively, each consisting of a winning ball detector that returns the controller to its initial state, and an electric drive source that restores the controller to its initial state. A prize ball discharge state display means for visually displaying is provided, an electric drive source for performing the discharge operation of the prize ball discharge device and a restoring operation of the controller, a ball shortage detector, a winning ball detector, and a prize ball discharge state display means. is electrically connected and there is a ball sufficiency detection signal from the ball shortage detector that detects the ball sufficiency state in the above-mentioned lead-out gutter.
The electric drive source is started by the detection signal of the winning ball detector to start the ejecting operation of the prize ball ejecting device, and the prize ball ejecting state display means is activated to emit light to award the winning ball of the prize ball ejecting device. The ball ejection state is visually displayed to the player, and the controller is caused to perform a restoring operation via a delay means that delays the start of the ejecting operation by a predetermined period of time, thereby securing the time for the prize ball ejecting device to eject the prize balls. It is characterized by the fact that it is made to do so.

<Function> On the back side of the game board of a pachinko machine, by arranging the storage tank and the lead-out gutter above, and forming the prize ball ejection mechanism section and the winning ball control device section vertically on one side, the back side of the game board A large effective area is ensured approximately at the center of the side where a large game device or a large hit ball winning device can be attached, and the back mechanism section of the pachinko machine consisting of a prize ball ejection mechanism section, a winning ball control mechanism section, etc. is simplified. . Furthermore, since the electric drive source that performs the ejecting operation of the prize ball ejecting device and the restoring operation of the controller, the ball shortage detector, the prize ball detector, and the prize ball discharge state display means are electrically connected, the ball shortage detection is possible. On the condition that there is a ball sufficiency signal from the winning ball detector, the electric drive source is activated by the detection signal of the winning ball detector to start the winning ball ejecting operation, and the winning ball ejecting state display means operates to emit light. Then, a delay means set to optimally secure the ejection operation time of the prize ball delays the restoring operation of the controller by a predetermined time from the start of the ejection operation.

<Example> An example of a pachinko machine according to the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an outline of the back mechanism of the pachinko machine 1. In the center of the back side of the game board 2 of the pachinko machine 1, there is a collection gutter 3 that is spaced at a predetermined distance from the back of the game board 2. The winning balls that entered the winning opening (not shown) provided on the surface of the game board 2 flow down within this predetermined interval and are collected by the collecting gutter 3, forming a ball at the inclined lower end of the bottom surface. Aligned channel 4
The liquid is guided step by step and flows down to the outlet 5 formed at the downstream end of the channel 4.

Above and below the back side of the game board 2, a storage tank 6 for storing balls and a drain gutter 7 for rectifying and guiding the balls in the storage tank 6 into two lines are provided vertically. Furthermore, a prize ball ejecting mechanism section 9 and a winning ball control mechanism are provided on a substrate 8 provided on one side of the back side of the collecting gutter 3 at a predetermined distance from the back surface of the game board 2 and overlapping with the collecting gutter 3. The portion 10 and the ball extraction mechanism portion 11 are formed in a vertically elongated shape. With this arrangement structure, in FIG. 1, a large game device or a large batted ball winning device protruding from the lower center of the storage tank 6 and outlet gutter 7 on the back side of the game board 2 to the left side is attached. It is possible to secure as large an effective area as possible.

The prize ball ejection mechanism section 9 includes a meandering guide gutter 12 that communicates with the guide gutter 7 and a ball shortage detector 1 provided in the middle of the guide gutter 12 to detect a lack of balls.
3, a prize ball discharging device 15 that faces below the guide gutter 12 and discharges a predetermined number of prize balls by the operation of the electric drive source 14, and a prize ball that guides the prize balls discharged by the prize ball discharging device 15. The discharge gutter 16 and this discharge gutter 16
The prize ball distributing gutter 17 controls the prize balls guided by the player to be diverted to an upper tray (not shown) or a lower tray (not shown) provided on the surface of the pachinko machine 1. The prize ball ejecting device 15 of this embodiment has a cylinder member 18 which is arranged approximately vertically with the middle part of its length being pivoted, and the open upper end 18' is connected to the lower end outflow part 12' of the guide gutter 12. In the communicating state, the open lower end 18'' is the prize ball discharge gutter 16.
When the upper end blocking piece 16' is closed, and the cylinder member 18 is rotated so that the open upper end 18' is closed by the lower surface of the tip of the guide trough 12 (as shown by the chain line in FIG. 1), the open lower end 18''
communicates with the prize ball discharge gutter 16.

When the open upper end 18' is closed, the tongue piece 19 extending from the upper end of the tube member 18 is connected to the guide gutter 12.
The ball is prevented from flowing out from the guide gutter 12 by closing the lower end outflow portion 12'. Therefore, in a state where the open upper end portion 18' communicates with the lower end outflow portion 12', the cylindrical member 1
8 stores a predetermined number of balls from the induction gutter 12, and when the cylinder member 18, which is interlocked via the link mechanism 20, rotates by exciting the electromagnetic solenoid 14 as an electric drive source, the balls inside become prize balls. The ball is discharged to the prize ball discharge gutter 16 as a ball. When the electromagnetic solenoid 14 is demagnetized and the link mechanism 20 is returned to its original state by the return spring 21, the cylinder 18 returns and rotates, and the open upper end 18' communicates with the lower end outflow part 12'. The balls from the guide trough 12 flow into the material 18 and are stored therein. The prize balls discharged by this prize ball discharge device 15 are guided to a prize ball discharge gutter 16 and flow down to a prize ball distribution gutter 17, where they are fed to an upper tray provided on the front side of the pachinko machine 1. At the same time, when the upper tray is full, the water is controlled to be diverted to the lower tray and is fed to the lower tray via the branch gutter 22.

The prize ball control mechanism section 10 is arranged below the prize ball ejection mechanism section 9 on the board 8. Said collection gutter 2
An opening 23' of a controller 23, which is pivotally mounted in the middle, faces the outlet 5 of the alignment channel 4, and when the controller 23 receives the winning balls flowing out from the outlet 5, the controller 23 controls the winning balls. It rotates due to its weight, releases the received winning balls into the winning ball flow down gutter 24, and stands still in a tilted state (dashed line in Figure 1). Even if a ball hits a prize while the controller 23 is tilted and a winning ball is generated and guided to the outlet 5, the outlet 5 is blocked by a stopper 25 provided on the upper surface of the tip of the controller 23, so that the winning ball does not come out. is never released.

The controller 23 is provided with a stopper rod 26 that extends into the winning ball flow lower gutter 24 when in the tilting state, and a winning ball detector 27 is located upstream of the stopper rod 26 in the winning ball flow lower gutter 24. will be established.

Furthermore, in FIG. 1, an operating rod 29 of an electromagnetic solenoid 28 serving as an electrical drive source for the restoring device is located above the rear end of the controller 23.

The winning ball detector 27 is normally OFF, but
When a winning ball is placed on the top surface of a swingable detection lever 30 with one end pivoted, it turns ON. Therefore, the controller 23 that receives the winning balls from the outlet 5 of the alignment channel 4
is in a tilting state, and the winning balls waiting in the opening 23' are sent out to the winning ball flow down channel 24, and the stopper rod 26 closes the passage of the winning ball flow down channel 24,
When the winning ball is stopped by the stopper rod 26 and placed on the detection lever 30, the winning ball detector 27 is turned on.

In the example of the electric circuit shown in FIG. 2, when the prize ball detector 27 is turned on, the electrically connected electromagnetic solenoid 14 is excited, and the prize ball discharge device 15 is operated to discharge a predetermined number of prize balls. In addition, since the winning ball detector 27 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic solenoid 28, when the winning ball detector 27 is turned on, the electromagnetic solenoid 28 is energized and the rear end of the controller 23, which is in the tilting state, is actuated. 29 is pressed and restored to the state in which it communicates with the outlet 5 of the aligned flow path 4 of the collection gutter 3.
In this case, as a mechanical delay means, the lower end of the operating rod 29 of the electromagnetic solenoid 28 should face the rear end of the tilted controller 23 with a certain gap, and the electromagnetic solenoid In the initial state in which the actuating rod 28 is excited, the operating rod 29 does not press the controller 23, but presses the controller 23 after descending a little, and the restoring operation of the controller 23 is delayed accordingly. A ball shortage detector 13 provided in the middle of the guide gutter 12 of the prize ball ejecting mechanism section 9 is connected in series to an electric circuit of an electromagnetic solenoid 28 which is an electrical drive source of the restoring device. If there are balls in the guide gutter 12, that is, if a ball sufficient state is detected, the ball sufficient signal will turn ON, and if there are no balls in the guide gutter 12, that is, if a ball shortage state is detected, the ball shortage signal will turn OFF, for example. The controller 23 can be restored only when balls are stored in the tank 6 and the outlet trough 7.

According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the ball extraction mechanism section 11 is arranged in parallel on one side of the prize ball ejection mechanism section 9 and the winning ball control mechanism section 10 on the board 8. Thereby, the prize ball discharge mechanism section 9, the prize ball control mechanism section 10, and the ball extraction mechanism section 11 can be formed in a vertically elongated and slender structure on the back side of the game board 2. This ball extraction mechanism part 11 is located outside the bending part of the guide gutter 12, and includes a locking rod 31 having one end pivoted thereon, and a swinging rod 32 that engages with a part of this locking rod 31 and can swing. This opening/closing locking device 33 is normally equipped with a receiving piece 34 provided at the lower end of the swinging rod 32.
faces an outlet 35 opened in one side wall of the bent portion of the guide gutter 12 so as to be in a closed state. A socket 37 of a ball extraction gutter 36 faces the outlet 35 from below, and the downstream end of the ball extraction gutter 36, which is formed in a substantially vertical shape, extends to the lower end of the base plate 8. Under normal conditions, balls from the storage tank 6 flow down this bent part of the guide gutter 12 toward the prize ball discharge device 15, but when the opening/closing locking device 33 is activated, one end of the locking rod 31 is operated externally. When the locking rod 31 and the swinging rod 32 are pushed down, the locking state between the locking rod 31 and the swinging rod 32 is released, and the swinging rod 32 swings counterclockwise due to the pressing force of the ball flowing down from the guide gutter 7, and the receiving piece 34 moves, the outlet 35 at the bent part of the guide gutter 12 becomes open, and the outlet 35 communicates with the ball extraction gutter 36, and the balls flowing down flow directly into the ball extraction gutter 36 and into the storage tank 6. You can pull out the balls that are stored.

According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the prize ball ejection mechanism section 9, the prize ball control mechanism section 10, and the ball extraction mechanism section 11 are formed on the substrate 8, but the upper part of this substrate 8 is extended. In addition, the storage tank 6 and the outlet gutter 7 can also be formed integrally with the substrate 8.

FIG. 3 is an example of another electric circuit, in which a delay timer 38 which is an electric delay means and a bulb shortage detector 1 are shown.
3 and contact 38' of the delay timer 38.
When the electromagnetic solenoid 28, which is the electrical drive source of the restoring device, is connected in series, the electromagnetic solenoid 28
operates later than the electromagnetic solenoid 14 of the prize ball ejecting device 15 by the set time of the delay timer 38. As a result, the controller 23 controls the prize ball ejecting device 15.
is activated, the ball inside the tube member 18 is ejected, and then it is restored to its original state and ready to accept the next winning ball. In this way, if the restoration of the controller 23 is delayed from when the prize ball is ejected, even if a plurality of batted balls win consecutively or at the same time, the controller 23 releases the winning balls at regular intervals, so that the tube member 18 A predetermined number of balls can be reliably filled within the space. Therefore, by efficiently setting the set time of the delay timer 38, even if a large number of winning balls occur in a short period of time, the player can always cyclically eject a predetermined number of winning balls quickly and reliably. It is possible to prevent troubles such as clogging of winning balls and insufficient number of winning balls.
In addition, since an indicator lamp 39 serving as a prize ball ejecting state display means is connected in parallel with the electromagnetic solenoid 14 of the prize ball ejecting device 15, the emitting operation state of the prize ball can be displayed in the game by the light emitting operation of this indicator lamp 39. It can be displayed visually to the person.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the prize ball ejecting operation of the prize ball ejecting device 15 and the operation of the restoring device are performed by one driving source. In this case, a rotary solenoid 40 is used as an electric drive source, and a rotating rod 42 located laterally is provided on the shaft 41 of the rotary solenoid 40, and one end of the rotating rod 42 has a pressing member facing the controller 23. A rod 43 is installed vertically, and a rod 44 is connected to the other end to communicate with the cylindrical member 18 of the prize ball ejecting device 15 via the link mechanism 20. A pressing part 43' is formed at the lower end of the pressing rod 43, and it faces the pin 45 protruding from the rear side of the controller 23 from above with a certain gap, so that the pin 43' is slightly lowered from the lowering start position. 45 and continues its downward movement to push down the pin 45 and restore the tilted controller 23. When the rotary solenoid 40 is demagnetized, the cylindrical member 18 is communicated with the guide trough 12 by the biasing force of the spring 46, and the pressing portion 43' of the pressing rod 43 is in a raised state, and the pin 45 of the controller 23 It is separated by a predetermined interval from.

However, the controller 23 tilts as the opening 23' accepts the winning ball, and the winning ball detector 27 detects this winning ball released into the winning ball flow down gutter 24 and turns ON.
When this happens, the connected rotary solenoid 40 is energized. When the rotary solenoid 40 is excited, the rotation rod 42 provided on the shaft 41 moves the spring 4
It rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 4 against the bias of 6. When the rotating rod 42 rotates, the rod 44 at one end rises and at the same time the pressing rod 43 at the other end lowers.
When the rod 44 rises, the cylinder member 18 is rotated by the link mechanism 20, and the balls stored inside are discharged as prize balls into the prize ball discharge gutter 16, and as the pressing rod 43 descends, the pin 45 of the controller 23 is released. Press down to restore controller 23. When the rotary solenoid 40 is demagnetized after a certain period of time has elapsed, the pressure rod 43 is raised by the bias of the spring 46 and the rod 44 is lowered, causing the cylindrical member 18 to return and rotate and flow down from the guide trough 12. Compensate for the ball.

According to this embodiment, even if one electric drive source is used, the restoring operation of the controller 23 can be mechanically activated with a certain time delay than the ejecting operation of the prize ball ejecting device 15. The tube member 18 allows the balls inside to be completely and reliably ejected.

In addition to the above embodiment, the prize ball discharge device 15 that discharges a predetermined number of balls as prize balls includes a vertical storage gutter 47 that communicates the guide gutter 12 and the prize ball discharge gutter 16, as shown in FIG. A cam plate having a sprocket 49 on its outer periphery having semi-circular notches 48 corresponding to the number of prize balls ejected for one winning ball on one side, and a cam plate having a stopping portion on its circumferential surface for the rotating shaft 50 of the sprocket 49. 51
will be established. A pawl rod 52 is provided which rotates by the operation of the electric drive source 14 (for example, a solenoid), and a pawl portion 52' formed at the tip of the pawl rod 52 is made to face the cam plate 51 by the bias of the spring 46. . This prize ball ejecting device 15 is operated by the electric drive source 1 when a winning ball is generated and the winning ball detector 27 is turned on.
4, the pawl rod 52 rotates. When the pawl rod 52 rotates, the pawl portion 52' comes off from the restraining portion of the cam plate 51, so the balls in the storage gutter 47 sequentially enter the semicircular arc notch 48, and the weight of these balls rotates the sprocket 49. let By the time the sprocket 49 rotates once, the electric drive source 14 is demagnetized and the pawl rod 52 returns to its original position, so the stopping portion of the cam plate 51 is locked by the pawl portion 52' and the rotation of the sprocket 49 is prevented. Stop. Therefore, the number of balls equal to the number of semicircular arc notches 48 corresponding to one winning ball is discharged to the prize ball discharge gutter 16 as prize balls.

Prize ball ejecting device 15 of another embodiment shown in FIG.
Slits 53 and 5 are provided above and below one side of the vertical storage gutter 47 that communicates the guide gutter 12 and the prize ball discharge gutter 16.
3', and locking claws 55, 5 that go in and out of the storage gutter 47 from the respective slits 53, 53' at the upper and lower ends of a vertically long regulating rod 54 provided along the storage gutter 47.
5' is provided. An arm rod 56 is provided protruding from the height of the regulating rod 54, and a shaft 57 is attached to the intermediate portion, and the tip portion 56' of the arm rod 56 is connected to the electric drive source 1.
Connect to 4. Then, the spring 46 urges the regulating rod 54 so that the lower locking pawl 55' enters the inside of the storage gutter 47 from the lower slit 53' and receives the balls stored inside.

Since the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is constructed as described above,
Normally, the ball in the guide gutter 12 is stopped by the lower locking pawl 55' while flowing into the storage gutter 47. However, a winning ball occurred and the winning ball detector 27 turned on.
When the electric drive source 14 is activated, the tip portion 56' of the arm rod 56 moves upward. When the tip portion 56' of the arm rod 56 moves upward, the regulating rod 54 tilts around the shaft 57, and the upper locking claw 55 enters the storage gutter 47 through the slit 53, and the lower locking claw 55' is removed from the storage gutter 47.
Therefore, the balls within the interval between the upper and lower locking claws 55, 55' are discharged into the prize ball discharge gutter 16 and supplied to the player as prize balls. Then, when the electric drive source 14 is demagnetized, the regulating rod 54 returns and rotates, and the lower locking claw 5
5' rushes into the storage gutter 47 and catches the balls flowing into the inside. In addition, also in these other embodiments, the prize ball discharge device 15 operates based on the winning ball detector 27 detecting a winning ball, and the controller 23 is returned to the initial state via an electrical or mechanical delay means. It will be restored to.

<Effects of the invention> As explained above, according to the invention, on the back side of the game board of a pachinko machine, the storage tank and the outlet gutter are arranged above, and the prize ball discharge mechanism and prize ball control mechanism are placed on one side. Since the parts are formed vertically, it is possible to secure a large effective area approximately in the center of the back side of the game board, which makes it possible to attach large game devices and large batted ball winning devices that protrude to the back side of the game board. This makes it possible to simplify the back mechanism of the pachinko machine.

In addition, the present invention causes the controller to perform a restoring operation via a delay means that delays the start of the ejecting operation by a predetermined time, so that the time for the ejecting operation of the prize balls in the prize ball ejecting device can be secured, and the batted balls are continuously Alternatively, even if a large number of prizes are won at the same time, the controller smoothly causes the winning balls to flow down at regular intervals, so that the ball to be ejected next can be reliably replenished into the prize ball ejecting device. In this way, securing the prize ball ejection operation time and ball replenishment time by providing a delay means not only ensures the prize ball ejection and ball replenishment in the prize ball ejecting device, but also ensures an appropriate delay. By setting the time, it is possible to efficiently discharge prize balls.Even if a large number of prize balls are generated in a short period of time, a predetermined number of prize balls can be quickly and reliably discharged cyclically. If a special game mode is formed using a large game device that is popular among players, it will be suitable for pachinko machines that can generate a large amount of winning balls in a short period of time, and the accumulation of unprocessed winning balls in the collection gutter or alignment channel. contributed greatly to the resolution of
To eliminate a player's sense of dissatisfaction due to distrust regarding the delay in discharging prize balls.

Furthermore, in the present invention, a pachinko machine capable of discharging a predetermined number of prize balls at high speed is provided with a prize ball discharge state display means, so that even when a large number of balls hit consecutively win, the player can check each winning ball. The high-speed award ball ejection state can be confirmed visually each time, especially during special games of pachinko machines equipped with large game devices, due to the influence of electronic sound effects such as "beep, hi yun hi yun..." Even in today's noisy pachinko parlors, where it is relatively difficult to check the ejection status of prize balls through the senses of hearing, this can be checked through vision, so players can enjoy the game with peace of mind.
