Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a separate pachinko machine, and in particular, the various electrical wirings installed in the gaming mechanism arranged on the gaming board, the terminal base, and the control device are connected to the terminal base. On the side, we separate the electrical wiring of pachinko machine-specific functions, and on the gaming mechanism and control device side, we separate the connection relationships between connector members and connector pins.
The present invention relates to a separate pachinko machine in which the electrical functions of each signal system to be transmitted are separated and collectively configured.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, pachinko machines coexist with conventional bullet games, and when certain special conditions are achieved in the results of games such as roulette games and slot games, or when a ball hits the special prize opening, a special prize is awarded. Some games are equipped with a game mechanism that opens a converting winning device when a condition is achieved to play another game in which a relatively large amount of winning balls are generated in a short period of time. Such gaming mechanisms include, for example, a winning device equipped with a detector, a large converting winning device that uses a solenoid or a motor as a power source, and a related light-emitting device, and the operation and lighting of these devices・Many types of games in which blinking, etc. are centrally controlled electrically by a control device configured with an IC or the like have become widespread and are gaining popularity among players.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In the case of the above-mentioned pachinko machine, there is a ball shortage detector that detects the presence or absence of balls in the upper tank, a stop display device that indicates a no-play state, a prize ball display device, a prize ball display switch, etc. The electrical wiring for so-called pachinko machine-specific functional parts, as well as electrical parts such as detectors, power sources, and illumination devices, extending from the gaming mechanism that performs other games is concentrated on the back side of the back mechanism board. . In particular, the wiring around the control device has become complicated and complicated due to the significantly increased number of wires compared to conventional pachinko machines, and is a major cause of disconnections and short-circuit accidents. In addition, when performing these wiring processes on the back mechanism board side, all the wiring must be done one by one each time, making cumbersome wiring when manufacturing pachinko machines, and furthermore requiring maintenance and inspection at game parlors. At times it was difficult to handle.

In addition, in particular, in pachinko machine manufacturing factories, hundreds to thousands of pachinko machines of multiple models are manufactured on the same day, so first, the back mechanism board that is attached to all pachinko machines is planned in the manufacturing plan. Based on this, it must be prepared in large quantities in advance,
On the other hand, different control devices for each model are manufactured and prepared in advance based on the manufacturing plan. Then, on the day of manufacture, the game board is fitted with obstacle nails for each model, game mechanisms, etc. for each model, and the back mechanism board and control device described above are attached to the front frame. It is being assembled. Therefore, during the manufacturing process of pachinko machines, which come in many models, the more and more complicated the wiring for the gaming mechanism, etc., the more likely it is that there will be incorrect wiring or connections at the connector between the control device side and the gaming mechanism side of the gaming board. It was easy to cause defects. In addition, when the control device of a pachinko machine installed at a game parlor breaks down and is replaced with a new control device, or if the
~ When replacing a new game board, which is done three times, conventionally the control device itself and a large number of wirings were not separated according to the electrical function of each signal system, so the control device side and the game mechanism side of the game board It was not possible to perform accurate and quick attachment/detachment/replacement work at the connector section.

[Purpose of invention]

Therefore, the present invention first separates the various electrical wirings installed in the gaming mechanism, terminal base, and control device installed on the gaming board into electrical wiring for functional parts specific to pachinko machines on the terminal base side.
As mentioned above, it is installed in advance on the back mechanism board that is attached to all pachinko machines regardless of model, so that a large amount of this electrically wired back mechanism board can be prepared in advance, and the gaming mechanism and control device On the side, the connection relationship between connector members and connector pins is separated for each electrical function of each signal system to be transmitted.
