Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Industrial application field) This invention moves the pachinko ball that has entered the winning chamber through multiple winning openings via a rotating disk and obstacles installed above it. This invention relates to a winning device for a pachinko machine that randomly wins a prize.

(Prior Art) As for the above-mentioned winning device, as shown in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4054/1983, which was previously filed and published by the applicant of the present application, a pachinko ball passes through a first winning opening, and a plurality of pachinko balls pass through a first winning opening. A space is provided in the fall path leading to the second prize opening, a rotary disk that rotates is installed along the rear side wall of the space, and a plurality of pins are erected on the surface of the disk to serve as obstacles for falling balls. What has been done is known.
In this device, since the pins rotate together with the rotary disk, the pachinko balls collide with the pins while falling and are thrown off irregularly. What made it interesting was that it was difficult to predict whether or not he would re-enter the prize until the end of his fall.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, since the pachinko balls that enter the winning device (hereinafter referred to as winning balls) tend to fall vertically, even if they collide with the pins, they will not be bounced sideways or upwards. Not done. For this reason, many winning balls are only forced to change their routes in a meandering manner at most. Therefore, it is not impossible to predict whether a player will win again in one of the multiple secondary winning holes (these secondary winning holes include special winning holes that are particularly advantageous to the player), and As players became accustomed to the equipment, which was highly prized, some began to feel that it was somewhat lacking.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to create a pachinko machine in which it is impossible to predict until the very end which of the plurality of winning holes will win the prize, and which allows the player to enjoy the thrill until the very end. It is to provide the winning device.

[Structure of the invention] (Means for solving the problem) The present invention has a bottom part of the winning chamber which has a plurality of winning openings in the front part of the bottom part which is open at the front, and rotates by tilting downward toward the front. A pachinko machine is installed on the rotary disc, which rotates around its axis as it rotates, and a plurality of obstacles are installed on the surrounding wall of the disc with cutouts that allow pachinko balls to enter and exit. This system is characterized in that the prize winning ball entering the chamber is irregularly changed in its path by obstacles while rolling on a rotary disk, and is made to win a prize in one of the winning holes.

(Function) The winning ball that enters the winning chamber falls near the sloping upper end of the rotary disk that is disposed at the bottom and slopes downward toward the front. This winning ball rolls on the board toward one of the multiple winning holes arranged at the lower end of the slope.
If an obstacle happens to be located on the path, and the notch is facing the direction of the ball's rolling path, the ball will pass through this notch, be held by the obstacle, and continue to revolve together. However, as the obstacle rotates, the notch gradually rotates downward. The players watched in suspense to see when the ball would be released from the notch, and when the ball was finally released,
Depending on the position of the obstacle at that time, while rolling downward on the rotary disk, it may collide with other obstacles or be caught again. Since the prize cannot flow down in a straight line, and therefore it is impossible to predict until the end which of the plurality of winning openings the prize will be won again, it is extremely interesting to the players.

(Embodiment) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 6.

First, in FIG. 3 showing the overall configuration, 1 is a machine frame of a pachinko machine, and a pachinko ball receiving tray 2 and an operating handle 3 of a pachinko ball firing device (not shown) are attached to the lower front surface of the machine frame 1.

4 is a game board disposed within the machine frame 1, and a glass window 5 is attached to the front surface of the game board. A guide rail 6 for a pachinko machine launched from a launch device is attached to the left side of the game board 4, and a winning device A according to the present invention is attached slightly above the center. 7 is a normal winning hole, and 8 and 9 are special winning holes.

Next, in FIGS. 1 and 2 showing the winning device A, 10 is a main body as a casing in which a winning chamber 11 is formed, a winning opening 12 is provided at the center of the upper end, and a pachinko machine is placed below it. Ball winning room 1
A first prize opening 13 is provided for the water to flow down into the first prize. Reference numeral 14 denotes rotary blade pieces provided on both sides of the first prize opening 13, and the rotary shaft 14a thereof rotates by converting the linear motion of the iron core of the solenoid 15 into rotary motion and transmitting the rotational motion. The rotary blades 14 are always in a closed state as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, and when the solenoid 15 is energized, they open approximately horizontally as shown by the two-dot chain line and the pachinko balls are thrown into the first prize opening. Make it easier to enter 13. On the other hand, a plurality of second winning holes, in this case three winning holes 17, 18 and 19, are opened at the lower end of the main body 10 so as to occupy the front end portion of the bottom 16 of the winning chamber 11. I'm letting you do it. Among these, the center winning hole 18 is a special winning hole in which when a pachinko ball enters there, a solenoid 15 is intermittently energized a predetermined number of times, causing the rotary wing pieces 14 to open and close intermittently. 20 is an opening where the front side of the main body 10 is missing, and the winning chamber 11
is opened forward through this opening 20.

Now, reference numeral 21 denotes a rotary disk, which is sunk flush with the upper surface of the sloping bottom 16 of the winning chamber 11, as shown in the figure, and is inclined downwardly toward the front. Three obstacles 23 are rotatably attached to the upper surface of the rotary disk 21, surrounding the rotary shaft 22 and corresponding to the vertices of an equilateral triangle. This obstacle 23 has a bottomed cylindrical peripheral wall with a notch 24 for receiving or discharging a pachinko ball, and has a rotating shaft 25 hanging in the center of the bottom so that the side wall is approximately C-shaped. The obstacle 23 is rotatably assembled to the rotary disk 21 by inserting the rotating shaft 25 into a shaft hole 26 provided in the rotary disk 21. A planetary gear 27 is fitted onto this rotating shaft 25, and a sun gear 28 that meshes with the planetary gear 27 is fixed to the concave portion 16a of the bottom portion 16 so as to be concentric with the rotary disk 21. The obstacle 23 is configured to rotate while revolving as the board 21 rotates. 29 is a motor with a reduction gear that drives the rotating shaft 22. Further, a pin-shaped auxiliary obstacle 30 is provided protruding from the outer periphery of the upper surface of the rotary disk 21 so as to correspond to the intermediate position between the obstacles 23 . Reference numeral 31 denotes an arc-shaped guide path that guides the pachinko balls that have entered the first prize opening 13 to the center of the innermost part on the board surface of the rotary board 21.

Next, regarding the operation of the above configuration, the rolling path of the pachinko ball that has flowed into the winning chamber 11 is shown in FIGS. 4 to 6.
This will be explained with reference to the figures. When the power switch for operating the pachinko machine is connected, the drive motor 29 of the rotary board 21 is also energized. When the operating handle 3 is operated, the pachinko balls in the saucer 2 are sequentially launched into the guide rail 6 by a firing device (not shown). When a pachinko ball enters a specific winning hole 8 or 9, the control device of the pachinko machine (not shown) intermittently activates the solenoid 15 for a predetermined period of time based on a signal from a detection sensor (not shown) of the winning ball. energize once or several times intermittently,
The rotary wing piece 14 is operated to open, and the probability of the pachinko ball flowing into the first prize opening 13 is greatly increased by this opening operation.

Now, when a pachinko ball enters the first winning opening 13, the winning ball rolls in the guide path 31 and is guided to the innermost central part of the winning chamber 11, and from there it goes to the rotary board 2.
Flowing down toward 1. On the rotary disk 21, the rotating obstacle 23 and the fixed auxiliary obstacle 30 continue to rotate together with the rotary disk 21, so the rotary disk 21 is tilted downward toward the second prize openings 17 to 19. The winning ball that has flown upwards rolls downward on this board surface, but an obstacle 23 happens to be located in its path, and the notch 24
If it occupies a rotating position where it opens toward the rolling winning ball, the winning ball will pass through this notch 24 and be held within the obstacle 23 as shown in FIG. . Then, as the rotary disk 21 rotates (the direction of rotation is indicated by arrow B), this winning ball is held by the obstacle 23 and moves to the rotary disk 21.
It is carried toward the second winning openings 17 to 19 that open at the front of the machine. During this time, the obstacle 23 continues to rotate in the direction of arrow C, so as shown in FIG.
When the opening direction of the notch 24 reaches the position where the winning ball that was being held is about to fall from this notch 24, this notch 24 happens to be the special winning hole 1.
8, the winning ball enters the special winning hole 18 as if guided by the obstacle 23. However, the relative position of the obstacle 23 and the special winning hole 18 and the opening direction of the notch 24 have a subtle influence on whether or not the winning ball enters the special winning hole 18. Even if the player is held by the obstacle 23, the player is not allowed to make any predictions until the final stage of the process in which the obstacle 23 approaches the special prize opening 18, and can fully enjoy the thrill during this period.

In addition, even if the winning ball that has entered the winning chamber 11 is not held by the obstacle 23 at the entrance, it may be placed on the back side of the obstacle 23 or If it collides with the auxiliary obstacle 30,
The winning ball that rolls on the gently inclined rotary disk 21 also receives the rotational force of the rotary disk 21 and rolls relatively widely in the horizontal direction, and in some cases, it may hit another obstacle in the middle of this rolling. With the fast-paced movements of being held in the arms of 23, the anticipation of winning the prize in the special prize opening 18 will not be lost until the very end.

The shape of the obstacle 23 in the above embodiment, especially the shape of the notch 24, can be appropriately changed to adjust the point at which the winning ball is received and released through the notch 24 of the obstacle 23. It can be slightly changed in relation to the rotation angle, and accordingly the irregularity of the rolling path of the winning ball is further promoted. Furthermore, by appropriately changing the shape and number of the auxiliary obstacles 30, the movement of the winning ball can be made more interesting. Furthermore, the number of teeth of the planetary gears that rotate each obstacle 23 may be made different, or the number of teeth on the rotating disk 2 may be different.
If you intermittently reverse the rotation direction of 1,
The movement of the winning ball can be changed even more complexly.
Furthermore, the location and number of obstacles 23 may be arbitrarily changed.

[Effects of the invention] According to the winning device of the invention, among the pachinko balls that enter the winning chamber, the balls that pass through the cutout of the obstacle provided on the rotary board and are held by the obstacle will not be affected. You can fully enjoy the thrill of seeing whether or not the ball will be guided towards the special prize opening among the multiple prize winning openings, and the rolling path of the ball that will collide with an obstacle and be blown away will be significantly different. Since it changes irregularly, you can fully enjoy the feeling of anticipation of winning a prize in the special prize opening until the end.
