い。When the rotary shaft rotates, the inflow control valve and the exhaust control valve alternately cross the ball passage. When the discharge control valve faces the ball passage, the inflow control valve is retracted from the ball passage, and the inlet of the ball passage is open and the outlet is closed. Therefore, there is a pachinko ball in the ball passage. When the rotating shaft rotates in this state, the discharge control valve retracts from the ball passage and the inflow control valve enters the ball passage. Therefore, since the entrance of the ball passage is closed and the exit is opened, the pachinko balls in the ball passage are discharged to the prize ball discharge gutter. Therefore, the inflow control valve must be cracked between the pachinko balls that are vertically connected when entering the ball passage. The inflow control valve of the present invention is shown in FIG.
As shown in (a), since the distance t from the upper surface to the upper surface of the discharge control valve is set to one pachinko ball, the common tangent line between the pachinko ball on the discharge control valve and the pachinko ball on the pachinko ball is also set. The upper surface of the inflow control valve is in the same plane. Therefore, the vertical movement of the upper pachinko ball when the inflow control valve interrupts between the pachinko balls is extremely small. On the other hand, since the lower pachinko ball is discharged to the prize ball discharge gutter through the space between the taper part of the front edge lower surface of the inflow control valve and the rear edge of the discharge control valve, the lower surface of the inflow control valve and the discharge control valve Distance u from the upper surface of
Does not bite even if is narrower than one pachinko ball.

要がある。As shown in FIG. 2, the valve member 10 is an integrally molded product made of synthetic resin, and has a cylindrical rotary shaft 16 fitted to the drive shaft 9a of the motor 9 and an inflow control valve 17 and a discharge control valve. Two pieces of each 18 are projected. Inflow control valve 1
7 and the discharge control valve 18 are fan-shaped with a central angle of approximately 90 degrees, and are alternately arranged with their positions shifted by 90 degrees.
The inflow control valve 17 and the exhaust control valve 18 are slightly smaller than the size of the disk divided into four equal parts, and even when the valve member 10 is viewed from directly above as shown in FIGS. 18 do not overlap. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to adjust the ball cutting timings of the inflow control valve 17 and the discharge control valve 18, which will be described later, and to facilitate the die cutting at the time of molding when integrally molding. As shown in FIG. 6A, from the upper surface of the inflow control valve 17 to the discharge control valve 18
The distance t to the upper surface of is set to one pachinko ball. The inflow control valve 17 has a taper portion 17a formed on the lower surface of the leading edge, and the discharge control valve 18 has a taper portion 18a formed on the upper surface of the trailing edge.
Are formed. The taper portion 17 of the inflow control valve 17
The space through which the pachinko ball can pass is formed by a and the taper portion 18a of the discharge control valve 18. The inflow control valve 17 crosses the inside of the ball passage 11 through the slit 19.
The discharge control valve 18 crosses below the ball passage 11 (outlet). In addition, the upper surface of the inflow control valve 17 and the end ceiling surface 1 of the connection gutter 12
The distance from 2a is set to be slightly larger than one pachinko ball in order to smooth the flow of the pachinko ball. However, if this interval is too wide, a pachinko ball dance phenomenon occurs, which is not preferable, so it is necessary to set an appropriate interval.

いる。On the other hand, a ball detection switch 20 is provided above the side surface of the case body 8, and the ball detection switch 20 determines whether or not a pachinko ball can be released. Also,
A pachinko ball passing switch 13 is provided at the lower end of the ball passage 11, and the passing switch 13 confirms the release of a prize ball or a rental ball. The transmissive photodetector 15 for controlling the motor 9 is formed by combining two light emitting elements 21 and 21 and two light receiving elements (not shown) in a photocoupler shape to form a circle around the drive shaft 9a of the motor 9. They are installed side by side on top of each other, and the light receiving element is turned off by transmitting and blocking the light accompanying the rotation of the inflow control valve 17.
An N / OFF signal is received by an exclusive OR circuit (exclusive or). And
At the boundary of the inflow control valve 17, the two light receiving elements are O
The rotating shaft 16 may be detected based on the signal issued from the exclusive OR circuit only when the value is different from N · OFF. As described above, when the two signals are received by the exclusive OR circuit to control the motor 9, it is resistant to noise and excellent in stability. The inflow control valve 17 is colored black to ensure the operation of the transmissive photodetector 15.

ンコ球Ｂ１のみが球通路１１（Ｌ）から落下する。In FIG. 6A, the discharge control valve 18 has the ball passage 1
Since the exit of 1 (L) is closed, the pachinko ball B1 stops in the ball passage 11 (L), and the pachinko ball B2 of the communication gutter 12 is placed on the pachinko ball B1. When the rotary shaft 16 rotates in this state, both valves 17 and 18 move together in the direction of the arrow. When both valves 17 and 18 reach the position of FIG. 6B, first, the leading pachinko ball B1 starts rolling on the taper portion 18a of the discharge control valve 18, and the pachinko ball B1,
B2 goes down slightly together. When the rotating shaft 16 further rotates, the pachinko ball B2 is received by the inflow control valve 17 and slightly lifted as shown in FIG. 6C, and only the pachinko ball B1 further lowers along the tapered portion 18a of the discharge control valve 18. .. Then, when the rotary shaft 16 rotates 90 degrees from the state of FIG. 6A, the discharge control valve 1 is rotated as shown in FIG. 6D.
8 completely withdraws from the ball passage 11 (L), and the inflow control valve 17
Blocks the entrance of the ball passage 11 (L). In this state, the pachinko ball B2 is placed and stopped on the inflow control valve 17, and only the pachinko ball B1 falls from the ball passage 11 (L).

球として放出できる。On the other hand, the ball passage 11 (R) on the right side is the opposite of the above, and since the discharge control valve 18 faces the outlet instead of the inflow control valve 17 due to the rotation of the rotary shaft 16 by 90 degrees, the inflow control is continued until then. The pachinko ball stopped by the valve 17 falls into the ball passage 11 (R) and is received by the discharge control valve 18. Then, when the rotating shaft 16 is further rotated by 90 degrees,
In the same manner as above, one pachinko ball at the head is discharged from the ball passage 11 (R) on the right side. After that, every time the rotating shaft 16 is rotated 90 degrees, one pachinko ball is alternately emitted from the right and left ball passages 11 (R) and 11 (L), so that the rotating shaft 16 can be rotated 3.75. For example, 15 pachinko balls can be released as prize balls.

の確実性等をより高めることができる。In the pachinko ball releasing apparatus 4 of the present invention, since the distance t from the upper surface of the inflow control valve 17 to the upper surface of the discharge control valve 18 is set to be approximately one pachinko ball, the pachinko balls B1, which are vertically connected, are set. Since the upper surface of the inflow control valve 17 is located in the same plane as the common tangent line of B2, vertical movement of the pachinko ball B2 can be minimized to cut the ball. On the other hand, the pachinko ball B1 on the discharge control valve 18 is discharged to the prize ball discharge gutter 5 through the taper portion 17a on the lower surface of the front edge of the inflow control valve 17 and the space at the rear edge of the discharge control valve 18. Even if the control valve 17 is thickened, there is no risk of ball catching. Inflow control valve 1
If the thickness of 7 can be increased, the strength of the inflow control valve 17 is also increased, and the durability is also improved. As described above, the pachinko ball releasing device 4 of the present invention is capable of performing a pachinko ball releasing operation reliably and smoothly, and has a strength capable of withstanding long-term continuous use. If the connecting gutter 12 is bent in a U-shape as in the embodiment, the ball pressure is dispersed, so that the ball pressure applied to the inflow control valve 17 and the discharge control valve 18 is reduced, and the pachinko ball releasing device 4 is operated. The durability and the certainty of operation can be further enhanced.
