Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a push button lamp unit of a pachinko gaming machine used for calling a clerk.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In general, a large number of pachinko gaming machines are arranged side by side in a pachinko parlor, and a push button lamp unit is attached to each of the pachinko gaming machines. The push button lamp unit has a plate on which a table number is described, a push button switch, a lamp, and the like, and lights the lamp in response to the operation of the push button switch when the player calls a store clerk. In addition, there are some that notify the big hit during the game by blinking the lamp.

On the other hand, recent pachinko game machines are equipped with electronic components such as integrated circuits on the back side of the board to electronically control the progress of the game, and there is a remarkable expansion of the game content. On the other hand, there is a risk of malfunction due to the intrusion of noise from the outside, and a noise elimination circuit is added as a countermeasure.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 There are several conventional frauds against pachinko machines, such as using a magnet to guide the ball, or forcing the glass door to open and inserting the ball. Recently, there is a dishonest that takes advantage of the computerization and emits radio waves toward the board surface, causing malfunction and giving a big hit. This radio wave is so strong that it enters the integrated circuit as an inrush current. It gets over the noise removal circuit.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a push button lamp unit of a pachinko gaming machine capable of preventing fraud caused by radio waves as much as possible.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The push button lamp unit of the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention comprises means for detecting a radio wave emitted to the pachinko gaming machine, and means for notifying the fact by the lamp when the radio wave is detected.

[0007]

[Action]

 The push button lamp unit of the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention detects the radio wave when the pachinko gaming machine is radiated with an electric wave, and notifies it by a lamp.

[0008]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 3, the main body 1 of the pachinko gaming machine has a transparent glass plate 2 covering the gaming board surface in the substantially central portion. The glass plate 2 is surrounded by a metal frame 3 on the periphery.

Below the game board surface, there are provided a tray 4 for receiving balls, a handle 5 for beating balls, and a tray 6 for storing balls. A push button lamp unit 10 is provided above the main body 1. The push button lamp unit 10 has an outer shape formed of a plastic casing 11, and a push button switch 12 is provided at the lower part of the push button lamp unit 10. The number plate 13 and the name plate 14 are provided on both sides of the push button switch 12. Is equipped with.

The housing 11 has lens-shaped portions 11a, 11b, ... 11h, and the light of built-in lamps 22a, 22b, ... 22h, which will be described later, is transmitted from these lens-shaped portions to the outside.

A circuit board 21 shown in FIG. 2 is provided inside the push button lamp unit 10. Eight lamps 22a, 22b, ... 22h and electronic parts such as an integrated circuit are attached to the circuit board 21, and an illegal radio wave detection circuit 30 is attached.

An electric circuit on the circuit board 21 is shown in FIG. That is, the lamp drive circuit 40 is configured by electronic components such as an integrated circuit. The lamp drive circuit 40 includes a connector 41 for taking in a power supply voltage, connectors 42a, 42b, ... 42e for taking in instructions from the main body 1, a reset switch 43, a push button switch 12, lamps 22a, 22b ,. The detection circuit 30 is connected.

The illegal radio wave detection circuit 30 operates by the voltage supplied from the main body 1 via the connector 41, and detects the radio wave emitted to the main body 1 by the antenna 31. There is a fixing terminal 31a at the tip of the antenna 31, and the fixing terminal 31a is fixed to the peripheral frame 3 of the glass plate 2 as shown in FIG. In this case, the line of the antenna 31 is exposed on the front surface of the main body 1, but it is of course possible that the line is not exposed.

The lamp drive circuit 40 operates by the voltage supplied from the main body 1 via the connector 41, and operates the push button switch 12 in response to an input command from the connectors 42a, 42b, ... 42e. Accordingly, the lighting and extinguishing of the lamps 22a, 22b, ... 22h are controlled. The reset switch 43 is for resetting the operating state of the lamp drive circuit 40, is located on the back side of the main body 1, and is appropriately operated by a store clerk.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. When the player operates the push button switch 12, for example, the upper five lamps 22a, 22b, 22c, 22d and 22e are turned on. This lighting calls the clerk. The called store clerk takes necessary action by asking the player about the situation, and finally operates the push button switch 12. This operation turns off the five lamps.

When a big hit comes out during the game, the upper five lamps 22a, 22b, 22c, 22d and 22e are turned on, and the lower three lamps 22f, 22g and 22h blink. Thereby, the clerk is notified of the big hit. The store clerk takes measures such as bringing the big box to the player's feet, and finally operates the reset switch 43 on the back side of the main body 1. This operation turns off all eight lamps.

By the way, when a player emits a radio wave (often called an FM radio wave) toward the game board surface in order to illegally give a big hit, the radio wave is transmitted to the antenna 31 through the metal frame 3. It is transmitted. Even if the antenna 31 is not in contact with the frame 3, if the radio wave is strong, the antenna 31 alone can perform sufficient reception.

The radio wave transmitted to the antenna 31 is taken into the illegal radio wave detection circuit 30. At this time, a detection signal is sent from the illegal radio wave detection circuit 30 to the lamp drive circuit 40, and the lamp drive circuit 40 simultaneously lights all the lamps 22a, 22b, ... 22h. This full lighting is a notification that an illegal radio wave has been emitted. This notification will be noticed not only by the clerk but also by the party who emitted the radio wave.

As described above, by capturing the illegal radio wave and notifying the fact by the light of the lamp, the desire to act the fraud is suppressed, and thus the fraud can be prevented as much as possible. .

In the above embodiments, the case where the number of lamps is eight has been described as an example, but the number of lamps is not limited. Further, although all the lamps are turned on when the radio waves are detected, the way of turning on the lamps is not limited, and may be appropriately determined according to the number and color of the lamps.

[0021]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since the means for detecting the radio wave emitted to the pachinko gaming machine and the means for notifying the fact by the lamp when detecting the radio wave are provided, the fraud caused by the radio wave is minimized. It is possible to provide a push button lamp unit of a pachinko gaming machine that can prevent the above.
