The winning portions 7 communicate with the third winning holes 7' located below the surface of the game board, and the winning balls that have entered the first winning holes 5' are transferred to the first winning portions 5 and the second winning holes 6'. The winning balls that have won a prize are guided to the second winning section 6, and the winning balls that have entered the third winning hole 7' are guided to the third winning section 7, and flow down the inclined bottom surface of each winning ball.

A first detecting section 8, a second detecting section 9, a second detecting section 9 and a second detecting section 9 each serve as a winning ball detecting means consisting of a limit switch, a proximity switch, etc. for detecting that a winning ball has passed through the outlet at the downward slope of each winning ball 5 to 7. The three detection parts 10 are respectively faced, and the inclined upper part of the discharge gutter 11 that guides the balls passing through each detection part to the bottom of the pachinko machine is located below each of the detection parts 8 to 10.

Therefore, when a ball hit by a player enters any of the winning holes 5' to 7', it is guided to the corresponding winning part 5 to 7, and is guided to the corresponding detecting part 8 to 10.

The position of the first claw portion 31 can be set by passing the screw 33 through one of the through holes 32 and tightening it to the side surface of the first control rod 26. Then, the position change of the first claw part 31 is caused by the first receiving recess part 28
According to the distance between the hole 32 and the diameter of the pachinko ball, adjustment is possible in three stages in the embodiment shown in the drawings. constitutes a number setting means.

The first claw portion 31 can enter from above both channels of the prize ball gutter 17 having two rows of channels for pachinko balls, and can open both channels or stop the flow of balls. can.

A downward protruding piece 34 is provided on the shaft attachment side of the first control rod 26, and a horizontal locking pin 35 is protruded from the first control rod 26. Let it happen. A spring 37 is tensioned between the first control rod 26 and the connecting rod 36, and urges the locking pin 35 to come into pressure contact with the front surface of the connecting rod 36.

The second prize ball regulating section 20 also has the same configuration as the first prize ball regulating section 19, and is extended to one side of an oblong second control rod 39 whose base end is pivotally connected to the back surface of the game board by a shaft 38. In addition to forming a shallow second groove 40 along the horizontal direction, a plurality of second receiving recesses 41 are formed at intervals that are equivalent to the direct connection of pachinko balls, and the second arm rod 42 is inserted into the first groove 40. The second horizontal engaging portion 43 is inserted into one of the second recesses 41, and the second claw portion 44 provided at the tip of the second arm rod 42 faces the prize ball gutter 17 from below. do.

The position change of the second claw part 44 is about the diameter of a pachinko ball according to the distance between the second receiving recess part 41 and the through hole 45,
In the embodiment shown in the drawings, adjustment is possible in three stages, and the second control rod 39 and the second arm rod 42 constitute a mechanical prize ball discharge number setting means.

The configuration of the second prize ball regulating section 20 as described above is as follows:
It is almost the same as the first prize ball regulating section 19, but has a downward arm 47 on the pivoting side of the second control rod 39,
A rod 49 of a regulating electromagnetic solenoid 48 serving as a first electric drive source is connected to the free end of the arm 47.

The rod 49 has a spring 50 that urges it to protrude when the electromagnetic solenoid 48 is in a de-energized state. to be located.

The second claw part 44 is the first claw part 3 of the prize ball gutter 17.
It is possible to enter from below both flow paths of a prize ball gutter 17 which faces the downstream side from 1 and has flow paths for two rows of pachinko balls, and can open both flow paths or stop the flow of balls.

The prize ball ejecting section 21 has the bent portions of the two opposing L-shaped third control frames 51, 51 pivoted to the back surface of the game board, and has an upper end with a height that differs by the diameter of the pachinko ball. A stopper 52 is provided to face each of the flow paths below the slope of the prize ball trough 17, and a rod 54 of a discharging electromagnetic solenoid 53 as a second electric drive source is connected to the lateral free end side. The reason why the position of the stopper 52 provided on each third control rod 51 is shifted by the diameter of the pachinko ball is to make the number of prize balls to be ejected an odd number. As the third control rod, a stopper facing both flow paths of the prize ball gutter 17 may be provided.

A spring 55 is connected to the third control rod 51 to urge the stopper 52 to be located within the prize ball gutter 17 when the electromagnetic solenoid 53 is stopped, and
A spring 56 is also connected to the connecting rod 36 to urge the outflow end 36' of the connecting rod 36 into pressure contact with the third control rod 51.

In the illustrated embodiment, the first arm rod 29 is actuated by an electromagnetic solenoid 53, but an electromagnetic solenoid as an independent electric drive source may be provided and actuated.

And between the first claw part 31 and the stopper 52
15 pachinko balls are lined up. Therefore, the second claw portion 44
When five pachinko balls line up between the stopper 52 and the stopper 52 and enter the second prize opening 6', the second detection section 9 issues a detection signal, only the ejection electromagnetic solenoid 53 is driven and the first claw section 15 pachinko balls lined up between the stopper 31 and the stopper 52 are ejected, and they enter the third prize opening 7' and are guided to the third prize winning section 7, where they are detected by the third detection section 10. When you give a signal,
The regulating electromagnetic solenoid 48 and the discharging electromagnetic solenoid 53 as drive sources are simultaneously excited, and the second
Five pachinko balls lined up between the claw part 44 and the stopper 52 are discharged as prize balls.

In addition, the first winning hole 5' is a special winning hole,
When a ball is hit here, it is guided to the first winning part 5, the first detecting part 8 issues a detection signal, and a large number of winning balls (50 in this example) are ejected. Its configuration will be described later.

Both electromagnetic solenoids 48 and 53 are electrically connected to the first detection section 8, the second detection section 9, and the third detection section 10, and an example of the electrical control device is shown in FIG. .

The electrical control device includes integrating circuits 8a, 9a, and 10a for waveform shaping each detection signal of the first detection section 8, second detection section 9, and third detection section 10; A timer operates in conjunction with the register circuits 8b, 9b, 10b as storage means for storing winning balls, and storage signals supplied from the register circuits 8b, 9b, 10b, and the winning balls are stored in the prize ball discharge gutter 17 as a storage section. A predetermined ejection time is set in advance until the ejection of a predetermined number of balls is completed, and an operation processing timer 57 and an electromagnetic solenoid 4
Drivers 48a, 53a that operate 8, 53,
A timer operates in conjunction with the memory signals supplied from the register circuits 8b, 9b, and 10b, and the storage of a predetermined number of balls flowing down the prize ball derivation gutter 2 into the prize ball discharge gutter 17 serving as the storage section is completed. A wait timer 58 for delaying the excitation timing of the electromagnetic solenoids 48 and 53 based on the predetermined replenishment time, a pulse oscillator 59 for generating a trigger pulse, and a scanning means. Trigger pulse counter circuit 6
0 (for example, a ring counter).

The electrical control device also includes a command circuit 61a, 61b (for example, composed of a dip switch, a digital switch, etc.) that operates both the electromagnetic solenoids 48, 53 an arbitrary number of times in response to the detection signal of the first detection unit 8, and a command circuit. It has preset counters 62a and 62b that store command signals of 61a and 61b, and by setting these preset values individually in advance, the number of prize balls to be ejected can be varied. counter 62
a and 62b constitute an electrical prize ball discharge number setting means.

Further, the electrical control device includes a first detection section 8, a second detection section 9, and a third detection section 1 as drive control means.
Each gate circuit 8c, 9c, 10c corresponding to 0
(constituted by an AND circuit in this embodiment), a gate circuit 63 to the operation processing timer 57 (constituted by an OR circuit in this embodiment), and other gate circuits 64a
64d (constituted by an OR circuit in this embodiment) and gate circuits 65a to 65f (constituted by an AND circuit in this embodiment).

On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the second detection section 9, the third detection section 10, and the first detection section 8 detect, the number of prize balls is 15, 5, and 50, respectively, so the command circuit 61a , 61b are set to "3" and "1" in advance.

Since the "L" signal from the gate circuit 64c is normally inverted and input to the gate circuit 65c, the counter circuit 60 performs a counting operation based on the trigger pulse of the pulse oscillator 59. Therefore, when the second detection section 9 issues a detection signal, it is temporarily stored in the register circuit 9b, and the storage signal and the count signal of the counter circuit 60 open the gate circuits 9c and 63, and the operation processing timer 57 operates.

On the other hand, the gate circuit 64a is opened by the gate output of the gate circuit 9c, and further the gate circuit 65a is opened by the gate output of the gate circuit 64a and the timer output of the operation processing timer 57, and the gate circuit 65a is opened.
The gate circuit 64d is opened by the gate output, and the electromagnetic solenoid 53 is energized via the driver 53a for the operating time of the operation processing timer 57, and 15 prize balls are ejected.

In addition, the wait timer 58 is also activated by the timer output of the operation processing timer 57, and after a predetermined period of time has elapsed,
The gate circuit 64c and the gate circuit 65c of the pulse oscillator 59 are opened, and the counter circuit 60 scans the next register signal. During this time, the counter circuit 60 is stopped.

Next, when the third detection unit 10 emits a detection signal,
Once stored in the register circuit 10b, the storage signal and the count signal of the counter circuit 60 open the gate circuits 10c and 63, and the operation processing timer 5
At the same time as 7 is activated, the gate circuit 64b is opened. Therefore, the gate circuit 65 is opened by the timer output of the operation processing timer 57 and the gate output of the gate circuit 64b, and the gate circuit 64d is simultaneously opened, so that the electromagnetic solenoids 48 and 53 are simultaneously excited by the drivers 48a and 53b, Discharge the prize balls.

Further, when the first detection section 8 issues a detection signal, it is temporarily stored in the register 8b, and the stored signal is scanned by the counter circuit 60, whereby the gate circuit 8
c opens, and the preset counter 62a is set using the gate output of the gate circuit 8c as a set signal.

In this case, "3" is set in the preset counter 62a from the command circuit 61a. The output signal of the preset counter 62a is sent to the gate circuit 6.
3, 64a, and as mentioned above, the operation processing timer 57 operates, and the electromagnetic solenoid 5
3 is excited for a certain period of time.

On the other hand, the gate circuit 65e is opened by the timer output of the operation processing timer 57, the gate output of the gate circuit 65e is inputted as a down signal to the preset counter 62a, and "1" is subtracted from the preset counter 62a. Also, at the same time that the wait timer 58 times out, the gate circuits 64a and 65c open as described above, so the electromagnetic solenoid 53 is excited for the second time by the timer output of the operation processing timer 57, and this operation is performed by the command circuit. The preset counter 62a is repeated three times as preset in the preset counter 61a, and the preset counter 62a becomes "0".

In this way, the preset counter 62a becomes "0".
Then, this output signal causes the gate circuit 65d to
opens and sets the preset counter 62b. In this case, "1" is set in the preset counter 62b from the command circuit 61b. The output signal of the preset counter 62b is sent to the gate circuit 6.
3 and 64b, the electromagnetic solenoids 48 and 53 are simultaneously excited as described above. In this case, since "1" is set in the preset counter 62b, excitation is completed only once, and the preset counter 62b becomes "0".

In this way, the preset counter 62b becomes "0".
When the wait timer 58 times out, the gate circuits 64c and 65c open, the counter circuit 60 starts scanning the registers, and returns to the original state.

Eventually, the electromagnetic solenoid 48 is excited three times by the signal from the first detection unit 8, and both electromagnetic solenoids 48,
53 were excited once at the same time. This is an example, and according to this embodiment, the command circuit 61a,
By making arbitrary settings in 61b, a desired number of prize balls can be ejected.

Next, to explain the excitation of the electromagnetic solenoids 48 and 53 described above in relation to the operation of the pachinko machine, when the player's batted ball does not win a prize, that is, when each electromagnetic solenoid 48 and 53 is not excited, the second prize ball The second claw portion 44 of the regulating portion 20 is connected to the spring 5
0, it is located below the prize ball gutter 17, and the prize ball gutter 17
to open. Also, the spring 55 causes the stopper 52 of the third control rod 51 to be positioned inside each flow path of the prize ball gutter 17, and the spring 56 causes the first claw portion 31 of the first prize ball regulating portion 19 to move into the prize ball gutter 17. Position it above and open it. Therefore, the inside of the prize ball gutter 17 is filled with pachinko balls, and the stopper 5 is filled with pachinko balls.
It is stopped at 2.

Here, when the batted ball enters the second winning hole 6' and the second detection section 9 issues a detection signal, only the ejection electromagnetic solenoid 53 is energized as described above. When the electromagnetic solenoid 53 is energized, the rod 54 is attracted, the third control rod 51 is tilted, and the stopper 52 is removed from the prize ball gutter 17. Furthermore, when the third brake rod 51 tilts, the end portion 36' that is in pressure contact is pressed.
The connecting rod 36 rotates against the bias of the spring 56, and the rotation of the connecting rod 36 causes the spring 37 to rotate the first brake rod 26 about the shaft 25.
The first claw part 31 enters the prize ball gutter 17 from above.

Therefore, due to the action of the stopper 52 and the first claw part 31, the balls in the prize ball gutter 17 lined up between the first claw part 31 and the stopper 52 (in this embodiment, 15
) flows down the prize ball discharge gutter 18 and is given to the player as a prize ball.

When the excitation of the electromagnetic solenoid 53 is completed, the rod 54 rises, the third control rod 51 returns and rotates, and the stopper 52 plunges into the lower part of the prize ball gutter 17, and at the same time, the spring 56 biases the connecting rod. 36
rotates back, the locking pin 35 is pressed, the first control rod 26 rises, and the first claw part 31 comes out above the prize ball gutter 17.

Therefore, the balls filling the inclined gutter 15 are the prize ball gutter 17.
The liquid flows into the air, is stopped by the stopper 52, and waits for the next operation.

The above operation is performed when the batted ball enters the second winning hole 6' and the second detection section 9 issues a detection signal, and when the hit ball enters the third winning hole 7' and is guided to the third winning hole 7. When the third detection unit 10 issues a detection signal, the control electromagnetic solenoid 48 and the discharge electromagnetic solenoid 53 are simultaneously excited as described above. When the discharge electromagnetic solenoid 53 is energized, the stopper 52 is removed from the prize ball gutter 17 and the first
The claw part 31 enters the prize ball gutter 17 from above. Also, when the regulating electromagnetic solenoid 48 is energized, the rod 4
9 is attracted, the second control rod 39 rotates about the shaft 38, and the second claw portion 44 enters the prize ball gutter 17 from below.

Therefore, when both electromagnetic solenoids 48 and 53 are energized, even if the first claw part 31 enters the prize ball gutter 17, the inside of the prize ball gutter 17 lined up between the second claw part 44 and the stopper 52 is balls (in this embodiment, 5 balls) are given to the player as prize balls, and the operation processing timer 57 times out, and as described above, both electromagnetic solenoids 4
8 and 53 are demagnetized, the first claw part 31 and the second claw part 44 are removed upwardly or downwardly from the prize ball gutter 17, and the stopper 52 rushes into the prize ball gutter 17.
The balls flow into the prize ball gutter 17.

On the other hand, when the player's batted ball enters the first winning hole 5' and is guided to the first winning part 5 and the first detection part 8 issues a detection signal, it is a special winning and a large number of winning balls are consecutively distributed. is discharged.

In this embodiment, as described above, the discharge electromagnetic solenoid 53 is excited three times, and the discharge electromagnetic solenoid 53 is excited three times.
3 and the control electromagnetic solenoid 48 are simultaneously excited once, so a total of 50 prize balls are ejected.

If the ejection electromagnetic solenoid 53 is intermittently excited multiple times, it is possible to eject 15 multiple prize balls, and both electromagnetic solenoids 48 and 53 are intermittently activated multiple times at the same time. If the ball is excited, it is possible to eject five prize balls.

Further, the circuit configuration of the electrical control device is not limited to that of the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, and a microcomputer or the like may be used.

On the other hand, by changing the position of the first claw part 31 of the first prize ball regulating part 19 and the position of the second claw part 44 of the second prize ball regulating part 20 during manufacture of the pachinko machine or after delivery to a pachinko parlor. The number of prize balls ejected when each electromagnetic solenoid 48, 53 is excited can be freely set.

In addition, the first prize ball regulating section 1 that constitutes the prize ball ejecting device
9. The specific configuration of the second prize ball regulating section 20 and the prize ball ejecting section 21 is one example, and for example, each regulating section is attached to an electromagnetic solenoid rod whose mounting position can be changed to move in and out of the prize ball gutter. Alternatively, the prize ball ejecting section may be constructed of an electromagnetic solenoid and a plate-shaped stopper provided on the rod of the electromagnetic solenoid. In addition, it is possible to provide a large number of detection units for winning balls so that the number of winning balls changes in a wider variety of ways, and it can also be applied to cases where the number of winning balls is constant.

Furthermore, the first and second control rods 26, 39, the first,
The second arm rods 29 and 42 constitute a mechanical prize ball discharge number setting means, and the command circuits 61a and 61b and preset counters 62a and 62b constitute an electrical prize ball discharge number setting means, respectively. Only one or the other may be adopted.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the detection signal of winning balls can be quickly electrically processed, even if a large number of winning balls are generated in a short period of time, winning balls will not get stuck or become stuck. Moreover, the prize ball ejecting means provided with the first and second electric drive sources can be operated under an optimal prize ball ejecting cycle.

For this reason, it is possible to quickly process prize balls and speed up the prize ball ejection cycle, and by forming a special prize mode in the auxiliary gaming devices that are popular today, a large amount of winning balls can be generated in a short period of time. It is possible to provide a prize ball ejection mechanism suitable for a pachinko machine.

Furthermore, even if a plurality of winning balls with different winning values occur at the same time, the winning ball ejecting means is quickly stored in sequence by the corresponding individual winning ball storage means, and the winning ball ejecting means is activated based on the storage signal validated by the scanning means. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine that can operate and quickly discharge a corresponding predetermined number of prize balls, so that players can enjoy the game with peace of mind without giving them a sense of suspicion.
