Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine having a machine frame to which a game board is attached and a mechanism plate provided on the back surface of the machine board, and particularly to a machine frame or mechanism of a pachinko machine other than the game board. The present invention relates to the arrangement of a frame control circuit board for controlling electric parts provided on a board.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a mechanism plate provided on the back of a pachinko machine is provided with a terminal to which a power line is connected, an electric component for circuit protection (for example, a fuse), an external information output / input terminal, and the like. There was a terminal board box to house the terminal boards. In recent years, an electrically controlled device such as a mechanical plate, for example, an electric prize ball dispensing device for discharging a predetermined prize ball corresponding to winning has come to be provided. The control circuit board for controlling the electric prize ball dispensing device is housed in a board box different from the terminal board box and attached to the mechanism board.

[0003]

Therefore, not only the wiring is laid on the entire mechanism board, but also the board boxes must be attached by the number of control circuit boards.
In addition, depending on the mounting location, it is necessary to remove the board box each time a trouble occurs in the mechanical plate, which hinders the efficiency of repair and inspection work. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko machine that can process wirings provided on a mechanism plate in an orderly manner and can quickly mount a plurality of circuit boards at appropriate positions.

[0004]

To achieve the above object, in the present invention, a pachinko machine having a machine frame to which a game board is attached and a mechanism plate provided on the back surface of the machine frame, A terminal board provided with at least a terminal to which a power line from the outside is connected, a circuit protection electrical component, and a terminal to which wiring for transmitting information from the pachinko machine to the outside or from the outside to the pachinko machine is provided, A frame control circuit board for controlling the operation of a part or all of the electric parts provided in addition to the game board, such as the electric prize ball payout device provided on the mechanism plate, is provided in one board storage box. It is characterized by that.

[0005]

Since the terminal board and the control circuit board for the frame are provided in one board storage box, the wiring can be neatly processed toward the one board storage box, and the mounting can be performed quickly. , The circuit board is housed together in the board box that houses the conventional terminal board, so it can be installed at the same position as the conventional terminal board box, which is an obstacle to inspection and repair. Nothing.

A curved rail 29 bent in a hairpin shape is connected to the downstream side of the prize ball rail 28.
As shown in FIG. 6, the curved rail 29 is used for the partition plate 2
The first passage member 29b and the second passage member 29c are arranged so that the prize balls are aligned in a row and flow down with the 9a interposed therebetween.
The first passage member 29b reduces the hairpin degree to guide the prize ball to the left side in the figure, and the second passage member 29c increases the hairpin degree to guide the prize ball to the right side in the figure. The rollers 32 of the dispensing device 31 are guided to the upper left and right sides. Further, on the bottom of each passage of the curve rail 29, an empty switch 30 for detecting that the prize ball is exhausted is provided. When the empty switch 30 is operated, the operation of the prize ball payout device 31, which will be described below, is disabled. At the same time, the driving of the hitting ball motor 43 of the hitting ball launching device 42, which will be described later, may be stopped.

As shown in FIG. 6, the prize ball payout device 31 connected to the above-mentioned curve rail 29 has a screw-shaped roller 32 facing the vertically formed prize ball passages 31a and 31b, and the roller 32. A payout motor 33 for rotating the ball, a payout count switch 34 for detecting the prize ball paid out by the roller 32, and a position sensor 35 (not shown; shown in the block circuit diagram of FIG. 8) for detecting the rotational position of the roller 32. ) And,
Further, in the present embodiment, a ball-punching solenoid 36 that is driven when the ball-punching switch 38 that is provided at the position side end of the mechanism plate 20 and that is operated by being operated from the front side of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on. , The punching solenoid 3

The prize ball payout device 31 pays out a prize ball based on a winning ball and a loan ball based on a lending request from the card device 12. The winning ball detecting switch 25 will be described in order. When a winning ball is detected by, the state of each winning detection (for example, 5 payouts, 10 payouts, 15 payouts) is checked, and the payout number is set.
The payout motor 33 is driven. Then, the prize balls are alternately paid out from both sides of the roller 32, and when the position sensor 35 detects the rotation of the payout motor 33 corresponding to the payout number and the payout count switch 34 confirms the prize ball corresponding to the payout number. The rotation drive of the payout motor 33 is stopped. Next, assuming that the card is inserted into the card device 12 and there is a balance, when the ball lending button of the operation buttons 14 is operated, the number of payouts (for example, 25
Is set, and the payout motor 33 is driven. Then,
The rental balls are paid out alternately from both sides of the roller 32, and the rotation of the payout motor 33 corresponding to the number of payouts is detected by the position sensor 3.
When the payout count switch 34 confirms the lent balls corresponding to the number of payouts, the rotational driving of the payout motor 33 is stopped. Further, when the ball drop switch 38 is operated, first, the ball drop solenoid 36 is driven to switch the switching valve 37 to the ball drop passage side. After that, the payout motor 33 is continuously driven, and when the payout count switch 34 does not detect the passing of the balls for a certain period of time, it is considered that the beading has ended, and the rotational drive of the payout motor 33 is stopped. In addition, after that, the ball cutting solenoid 36 is turned off.
Let it be F. The operation of the prize ball payout device 31 described above is drive-controlled by a control circuit formed on a frame control circuit board 70 described later.
