行なわれるようにされていた。 As is well known, in a pachinko game machine, when a player drives balls into the game board one by one using a firing device installed at the bottom of the game board, they collide with obstacle nails and randomly change direction as they fall. A predetermined number of prize balls are awarded to the player by entering the winning area with a certain probability. Conventionally, the payout of such prize balls has generally been carried out by using, for example, the first
This was done using a mechanical prize ball ejection device as shown in the figure.

出するようにしていた。 In other words, in a conventional pachinko machine, there is a reserve ball storage tank 224 above the back setting board 21 attached to the back of the game board, and a reserve ball storage tank 224 is connected to the tank 224 to allow the reserve balls to make a U-turn in an S-shape. flowing down,
A ball chute 225 for arranging the balls is provided, a prize ball ejection mechanism section and a winning ball gathering gutter 222 are provided in the center of the back setting board, and a controller is provided at the bottom for storing the winning balls at the same time, separating them one by one, and letting them flow down. 2
60 and an operating lever 265 that is rotated by the weight of the separated winning ball, and the winning ball is connected to the winning ball via an interlocking rod 266 and a link mechanism 267 connected to the end of the operating lever 265. The resulting physical force is transmitted to the prize ball case 268 provided at the end of the ball chute 225 to activate it, and a predetermined number of prize balls are dumped onto the damper 269 provided below. The prize balls are then discharged into the tray at the front by flowing down the prize ball discharge path 236.

技盤背部に充分な空部を有することができない。
つまり、遊技盤背部の有効利用空間が狭くなり、
かつ裏機構盤の保守、点検も困難になるという不
都合があつた。 Therefore, in conventional pachinko machines, the mechanical structure of the back mechanism panel attached to the back of the game board is complicated, making assembly and positioning adjustment troublesome.
The space occupied by the components of the back mechanism board becomes large, making it impossible to provide a sufficient empty space at the back of the game board.
In other words, the space available for effective use of the back of the game board becomes narrower.
Another disadvantage was that it became difficult to maintain and inspect the back mechanism panel.

くなる不都合がある。 On the other hand, among recent pachinko machines, those that have a large variable prize winning device that uses an electric drive source to create a condition in which a large number of prize balls are awarded, so-called "Ratsuki Seven", have become popular among players, and most Machines are increasingly being equipped with large variable prize winning devices. However, in such large variable winning machines, the electric drive source often extends through the game board to the rear of the back setting board, so they are not equipped with a conventional mechanical prize ball ejecting device. However, the back mechanism panel has the disadvantage that there is not enough space to extend such a variable prize winning device.
また、このような大型の変動入賞装置の採用に
伴ない、同時もしくは連続した入賞球が生ずる機

がある。そのため、高速の賞品球排出装置が要望
されるとともに、これに伴なつて多量の賞品球が
遊技者に払い出されるため、賞品球の貯留部の大
型化および構造強化の必要性が生じている。 In addition, with the adoption of such a large variable prize winning device, the chances of simultaneous or consecutive winning balls occurring are extremely increased. However, in the conventional mechanical prize ball ejection mechanism, the ejection operation is a mechanical link motion as described above, so one ejection cycle is approximately
It takes 1.5 seconds, but with current electric launchers it takes 1.5 seconds.
100 balls are fired per minute. That is, 0.6
As the ball is launched into the game board every second,
A large amount of winning balls are generated in a short period of time, and the ejection of prize balls cannot keep up, and there is a risk that the winning balls will accumulate one after another. Therefore, a high-speed prize ball discharging device is required, and as a result, a large amount of prize balls are paid out to the players, which creates a need to increase the size and strengthen the structure of the prize ball storage section.

な弱点を解消するにあたり、賞品球の流下異常を
検出する監視機能が必要となつてくる。 Furthermore, as the speed of the prize ball ejecting device increases and the number of times it is ejected increases, it is desirable to have an ejecting device that can sufficiently withstand repeated ejecting operations. Conventional mechanical ejecting devices that are operated by transmitting physical force have a limit in speed increase due to friction between various mechanical parts, and are also poor in durability. Moreover, conventional pachinko machines equipped with mechanical ejection devices may become inoperable due to wear or deformation of various parts, or ball jams may occur due to foreign matter getting into the prize ball case or malalignment of the balls. However, there were weaknesses in that the ejection operation was inaccurate and uncertain due to problems such as the ejection function stopping or ejection failure. In order to eliminate such weaknesses, a monitoring function is required to detect abnormalities in the falling of prize balls.

Detection plate 57a and micro switch 57b facing inside
Therefore, when the spare ball is flowing down normally, the detection plate 57a is pressed by the falling ball,
A regular detection signal is output from the micro switch 57b, but if an abnormality such as a stuck ball or foreign matter occurs in the guideway 25, the detection signal of the micro switch 57b may not change even when the prize ball is being ejected. Since the detection signal of the microswitch 57b changes irregularly, it is possible to detect an abnormality in the falling of the spare ball. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the micro switch 57a is
Because it is arranged at a bend in the taxiway 25, the normal transit time for one spare ball flowing down the guideway 25 is checked, and if the actual transit time becomes longer than the normal transit time, This can be detected as a flow abnormality caused by balls adhering to the reserve ball itself or balls adhering to the wall surface of the guideway 25.

を取り付けることができる。 For example, the entire device can be configured more compactly compared to conventional prize ball ejection mechanisms, and if multiple winning balls occur at the same time, this is stored in the memory circuit, so the winning balls can be stored once and the winning balls can be ejected once. This eliminates the need for a complicated mechanism that separates and flows down one by one for each discharge. Therefore, the structure of the back mechanism panel is simplified, and assembly, positioning adjustment, etc. are facilitated. In addition, the prize ball ejecting device is installed offset to one side of the back setting board, and a preliminary prize ball storage section is provided above the prize ball ejecting device, and the spare balls in the preliminary storage section are automatically stored. A series of taxiways are installed to effectively rectify and guide the flow.
The downstream end thereof is connected to the inlet of the deflected prize ball ejecting device, the outlet of the prize ball ejecting device is communicated with a saucer storage section provided below the prize ball ejecting device, and the outlet of the prize ball ejecting device is connected to the tray storage portion provided below the prize ball ejecting device. By providing an auxiliary storage portion that communicates with the auxiliary tray, a wide empty space can be formed in the center of the back setting board.
As a result, maintenance and inspection of the back set board becomes easier, and this empty space can be used to install, for example, a variable winning device or display device called a large piece of hardware that protrudes greatly toward the back set board in the center of the game board. Can be installed.

させることが可能となる。 In conventional pachinko machines, there was a restriction on the size of the variable prize winning device when it was attached to the game board because it was not possible to form a sufficient empty space in the center of the back setting board, but according to the present invention, It is now possible to install a large-sized variable winning device, which makes it possible to add a highly interesting variable winning device that fully satisfies players, thereby increasing the entertainment value of the pachinko machine. It becomes possible to improve the product value.

できるようになる。 In addition, the back setting board has an overlapping structure of the first and second spaces to improve its strength and to widen the effective space, resulting in a large amount of winning balls due to the adoption of a large variable winning device. It is also possible to increase the size of the saucer storage section and the auxiliary storage section accordingly.

ことがない。 Furthermore, in this invention, winning balls are individually detected and processed electronically, so even if multiple winning balls occur at the same time, there is no need to stop ejecting prize balls due to ball jams. In addition to accurate payout, if we monitor the flow of spare balls and prize balls and detect an abnormality such as a lack of spare balls or ball jams due to foreign matter, etc.
Since the operation related to ejecting the prize balls is immediately stopped, empty ejection or half-hearted ejection of the prize balls is prevented, and unfair results to the players are not brought about.
