Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a pachinko launching device, and more particularly to a novel improvement for shortening the energization time of an actuator when rotating a hammer against an elastic body and reducing the power consumption of the device itself.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a pachinko launching device of this type that has been conventionally used, for example, in the configuration disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-15917, generally, a ball striking speed of 100 shots / minute or less is determined by the game law. Therefore, the power supply to the actuator was evenly started less than 100 times / minute. Therefore, in the conventional configuration, as shown in FIG. 2, the off timing after the actuator is turned on is set to a time including a margin for exceeding normal play and spring MAX.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

Since the conventional pachinko launcher is configured as described above, the following problems exist. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, since the actuator is turned on including the spring MAX and the margin for the normal play section, this (spring MAX + margin) -normal play = normal dead time t ₀ Was becoming. This energization dead time t ₀ is extremely wasteful for the entire pachinko hall, and it is extremely difficult to reduce the actual power consumption, which is equivalent to the power consumption of an ordinary factory in the entire pachinko hall.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and in particular, shortens the energization time of an actuator when a hammer is rotated against a spring to reduce the power consumption of the device itself. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko launching device whose number is reduced.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the pachinko launching device according to the present invention, the hammer urged by the elastic body is rotated to the first rotation position by the actuator against the elastic body, and the hammer is first moved by the restoring force of the elastic body. In a pachinko launching device that hits a pachinko ball by turning to two turning positions, a sensor for detecting the first turning position and a control unit connected to the sensor for controlling the operation of the actuator. And the operation of the actuator is turned off via the control unit by an off-timing position signal from the sensor.

More specifically, the sensor is provided on a first stopper provided at the first rotation position, and the hammer comes into contact with a second stopper provided at the second rotation position. It is a composition.

More specifically, the sensor is provided in the actuator.

More specifically, the swing angle of the hammer is regulated by the position of the sensor.

[0009]

[Action]

In the pachinko machine according to the present invention, the hammer is rotated by the actuator against the restoring force of the elastic body, the sensor detects that the hammer is rotated to the first rotation position corresponding to the normal play, and the off state is set. Since the timing position signal is used, it is possible to turn off the power supply to the actuator for the conventional dead time t ₀ , and the power consumption of each pachinko machine can be reduced to about half for a long time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A preferred embodiment of a pachinko machine according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, a reference numeral 1 is a hammer, and the hammer 1 is connected to a rotary shaft 3 of an actuator 2 formed of a rotary solenoid or a torquer fixed to a casing (not shown).

One end 4a of an elastic body 4 made of a spring or the like is locked in one of the plurality of locking holes 1b of the base 1a of the hammer 1, and the other end 4b of this elastic body 4 is It is wound around and connected to an operation handle 5 rotatably provided on the casing.

Further, the turning range of the hammer 1 is provided with a first stopper 10 provided at a first turning position A and a second stopper 11 provided at a second turning position B. The stoppers 10 and 11 are provided in the casing. Further, at the first rotation position A, a sensor 20 such as an LED or a magnetic sensor is provided in the casing, and an off-timing position signal 20a from the sensor 20 is sent to the control unit 30 connected to the actuator 2. It has been entered. The sensor 20 can also be provided on the first stopper 10.

Next, a case of actually firing a ball in the above-mentioned configuration will be described. First, in the state shown in FIG. 1, the actuator 2 is turned on by the ON signal 30a from the control unit 30, whereby the hammer 1 is rotated in the direction of the arrow X via the rotary shaft 3 of the actuator 2, and the elastic body is rotated. 4 grows against its resilience.

In the above-mentioned state, the ball 33 on the guide 32 comes into contact with the tip 1c of the hammer 1, and in this state, the position of the hammer 1 is detected by the sensor 20, and the hammer 1 also moves the first stopper 10 Abut.

The off-timing signal 20a from the sensor 20 is input to the control section 30, and the control section 30 turns off the on-signal 30a. Therefore, the hammer 1 hits a ball by the restoring force of the elastic body 4 and at the same time. The hammering operation of the hammer 1 is completed by contacting the second stopper 11.

As shown in FIG. 2, the energization state of the hammer 1 is set at the time when the normal play time excluding the energization dead time t ₀ is finished with the off-timing signal 20a. Therefore, it is possible to save power consumption by the energization dead time t ₀ . Therefore, the saved energization dead time t ₀ shown in FIG. 2 is 1/100 minutes, but when this is one day or one month, the power consumption is greatly saved. The sensor 20 may be provided in the actuator 2 to detect the angle of the rotary shaft 3. Further, the sensor 20 may be provided in place of the first stopper 10 to remove the first stopper 10 to eliminate noise and vibration. You can also The sensor 20 can be arranged at any angular position.

[0017]

[Effect of device]

 Since the pachinko machine according to the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained. That is, the position of the hammer is detected by the sensor, and the actuator is turned off by the off-timing signal from this sensor, so the power consumption required for the conventional dead time operation can be eliminated and the entire pachinko hall can be operated. With that, a great amount of energy saving can be achieved.
