Become.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to the invention of a power cable for supplying driving power to each pachinko machine in a pachinko game hall.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As is well known, a ball replenishing device, a coin transporting device, etc. are condensingly installed in a very narrow space on the back of a pachinko machine, which is called an island stand in a pachinko game hall where a large number of pachinko machines are arranged side by side. Then, the ball replenishing device, the coin transfer device, and the ball lending machine are usually supplied with a power supply of 100 V AC from an outlet provided in the island stand. In addition, since the pachinko machine is normally configured to be operated by a power supply of 24 VAC, it is configured to be connected to an AC 24 volt outlet provided in the island stand separately from the above outlet. .

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In this way, two types of outlets with different power supply voltages are installed in a narrow island stand. In the past, however, two types of outlets with completely different voltages were of the same shape. The power cable plug of the pachinko machine can be plugged not only into a 24 volt outlet but also into a 100 volt outlet as it is, so it was easy to make a mistake. There was a problem that a high voltage was directly applied to a precision device such as a microcomputer inside, and the pachinko machine was easily irreparably damaged.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The power cable for the pachinko machine of the present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problem. An abnormally high voltage higher than the proper operating voltage of the pachinko machine is applied to the plug of the power cable for supplying the required driving power to the pachinko machine. It is characterized in that it is provided with a high voltage warning display means which is activated when it is activated.

[0005]

[Action]

 When the power cable of the pachinko machine is plugged into a high-voltage outlet, warning display means such as a lamp and buzzer are activated to notify you of the error, so the pachinko machine can be protected from high voltage.

[0006]

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The pachinko machine 1 is provided with a connector 2 on its lower rear surface, and the outlet 4 of the power cable 3 can be detachably connected to the connector 2. Then, the plug 5 of the power cable 3 is provided with a lamp 6 composed of a light emitting diode. The characteristics of the lamp 6 are adjusted so that the lamp 6 does not light up when a power supply of 24 V AC is applied to the plug 5, but does not light up when a high voltage of 100 V AC is applied.

However, in the power cable for the pachinko machine, as shown in FIG. 2 (A), when the outlet 7 of 100 volt of exchange and the outlet 8 of 24 volt of AC are arranged in the island stand. When the plug 5 is inserted into one of the outlets 7 as shown in FIG. 2B, the lamp 6 lights up, so that it is indicated that the power cable 3 is connected to the 100-volt power source. Further, as shown in FIG. 2 (C), when the plug 5 is inserted into the receptacle 8, the lamp 6 does not light up, which means that it is connected to a low voltage 24 volt power source.

Therefore, by inserting the plug 5 into the outlet 7 or the outlet 8 and confirming that the lamp 6 does not light up, the outlet 4 can be connected to the connector 2 as shown in FIG. 2D. A proper 24V AC power supply is always applied to the pachinko machine 1, and the risk of accidentally applying a high voltage of 100V AC to damage the equipment inside the pachinko machine is eliminated.

In the above embodiment, the high voltage is displayed as a warning by turning on the lamp 6, but instead of the lamp 6, a buzzer is built in the plug 5 so that the pachinko machine 1 operates properly. If the buzzer sounds when an abnormally high voltage higher than the voltage is applied, it is possible to prevent the high voltage from flowing to the pachinko machine 1 in advance.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to display and warn that a high voltage is applied to the power cable by providing a warning display means such as a lamp or a buzzer on the plug of the power cable for the pachinko machine. This has the beneficial effect of preventing high voltage from flowing to the pachinko machine and damaging precision equipment.
