Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ball shooting operation device for an electric pachinko machine which can operate a switch to shoot a ball.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as seen in Japanese Patent Application No. 4-238655 filed by the applicant of the present invention, an electric pachinko machine capable of driving a launch rod by a rotary solenoid to launch a ball. , The ball firing is controlled by rotating the operation handle that is elastically biased in the returning direction.

[0003]

However, since the operation handle is kept rotating while being held,
The player's fingers are strained and tired, which makes it difficult to hold the player in a fixed rotational position for a long time. Even if it moves, it remains in the same state after the end, resulting in severe wear of parts, which is a problem.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been devised so as to solve such a problem and to make it possible to perform a firing operation easily and surely by using a switch type. Therefore, the present invention is provided below the front of the board. In the vicinity of the prize ball plate, a push button type firing switch and a firing speed strength setting means are provided, and the strength setting means is an indicator and right and left power switches and weak power usage. The prize ball dish and the firing rod are equipped with sensors for detecting the ball respectively, and the function of the firing switch is activated when the circuits of both sensors are OR, or the firing switch is set to 1
It is configured such that it is self-holding when pressed once, and can be canceled when pressed a second time.

[0005]

Therefore, by operating the strength setting means to set the firing speed of the ball to be strong and weak, and by simply pressing the firing switch, the ball can be effectively fired toward the board surface. It is possible to easily set the strength of the ball firing speed by looking at the indicator while pressing the right and left switches, and the firing switch will not work even if it is pushed if there is no ball in the prize ball plate and the firing rod part. If it is in a safe state and you want to stop firing, you can stop it by simply pressing the firing switch again.

EXAMPLE FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a pachinko machine installed in parallel on a pachinko island. The pachinko machine A is provided with a prize ball plate 3 having a return button 8 on the upper side of the lower side of the front side of the board surface a. , A spare tray 10 equipped with an ashtray 9 on the side below
In the same manner as the conventional structure, a launch rod 2 that is driven by the rotary solenoid 1 and can launch a ball to the board surface a is provided inside the machine body that communicates with the prize ball plate 3 through the supply port 11. The operation box 12 having an inclined upper surface is provided on the right side of the spare plate 10 in the vicinity of the prize ball plate 3, and the oblong indicator 5a is provided on the upper surface of the operation box 12. A strength setting means 5 including a power switch 5b and a weak switch 5c on the right and left on the lower side thereof is provided, and a push button type firing switch 4 is provided below the strength setting means 5, and the prize ball plate 3 is supplied. A sensor 6 for detecting a sphere is provided near the bottom of the mouth 11 and in the vicinity of the launch rod 2.
7 are deployed and configured. Further, an indicator lamp (not shown) is provided on the prize ball plate 3, and the detection sensors 6 and 7 detect O.
In the state of K, it may be lit to let the player recognize it.

Further, as shown in the control circuit diagram of FIG. 4, the function of the firing switch 4 is activated when the circuits of the both sensors 6 and 7 are in the OR state so that they operate according to the flow chart shown in FIG. So that fire switch 4
It is configured so that it can be held by pressing once and released by pressing it a second time.

Accordingly, the strength setting means 5 is operated to set the firing speed of the ball to be strong or weak, and the firing switch 4
By pressing, the ball can be effectively fired toward the board a, but in the strength setting means 5, when the power switch 5b is pressed, the firing speed gradually increases and the degree appears in the indicator 5a. , When the weakening switch 5c is pressed, the firing speed gradually becomes weaker, and the degree thereof appears in the indicator 5a, so that the strength of the firing speed of the ball can be easily set while watching the indicator 5a. If there is no ball on the prize ball plate 3 and the firing rod 2, the firing switch 4 does not operate and is in a safe state. Even if the firing switch 4 is pressed and the hand is released, the circuit is held by itself. The firing action continues, but it will stop when the firing switch is pressed again. Further, it is possible to inform the employee of an abnormal state when the ball is not fired while the indicator light of the prize ball dish 3 is lit, for example, when a foreign object is present.

[0009]

As described above, according to the present invention, by operating the strength setting means 5 to set the firing speed of the ball to be strong or weak, and by simply pressing the firing switch 4, the ball is effectively fired toward the board surface a. And the strength setting means 5
Means that the strength of the ball firing speed can be accurately and easily set by pressing the left and right strength switches 5b and 5c and looking at the indicator 5a. The firing switch 4 is a part of the prize ball plate 3 and the firing rod 2. If there is no ball in it, it has a safety structure that it does not operate even if you push it, and when you want to stop firing, you can easily stop it by pressing the firing switch 4 again, making it a switch type and easy It has a feature that the firing operation can be performed reliably and satisfactorily, and that the firing operation can be suitably performed.
