Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the idle hitting of PACHINKO balls and to prevent the flying irregularity of the balls from being generated by linking detection signals from a PACHINKO ball sensor disposed at the hitting position of a PACHINKO ball hitting rail and a hammer driving device. SOLUTION: A sensor 6 for detecting the ball 5 present at the ball hitting position of the hitting rail 1 of a PACHINKO machine is disposed and the sensor 6 and a solenoid 4 for operating a hammer are linked. The balls 6 successively sent from a ball supply device 2 to the hitting position of the hitting rail 1 are detected in the sensor 6, the solenoid 4 for operating the hammer is operated by the detection signals and the ball 5 present at the hitting position is hit. Thus, the idle hitting of the ball does not occur, and since it is confirmed that the ball is stably present at the hitting position by the sensor, the stable ball is hit by a ball hitting hammer and thus, the flying irregularity is prevented.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ball launching device for a pachinko machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional pachinko machine, balls are sequentially sent from a ball supply device to a launch position of a launch rail, and a hammer is operated at the timing of a controller.

[0003]

In the above prior art, it is not confirmed that the ball is being supplied to the ball firing position, while the hammer driving device has a predetermined size regardless of the ball supplying device. Since the balls are sequentially driven at the timings, there is a problem in that even if the ball is not supplied to the launch position, the ball is hit in a blank, there is a waste of a blank hit, and unevenness in the flight of the ball occurs.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a pachinko ball sensor is provided at a launch position of a pachinko ball launch rail, and a detection signal from the ball sensor and a mallet drive. The feature is that the device is linked.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 is the launch rail of the pachinko machine, 2
Is a ball supply device, 3 is a hitting mallet, and 4 is a mallet operating solenoid. The above is a well-known pachinko machine ball launching device,
The present invention is provided with a sensor 6 for detecting the sphere 5 at the sphere launching position of the launch rail 1 of the pachinko machine.
And the solenoid 4 for operating the mallet.

Next, the operation will be described. The balls are sequentially sent from the ball supply device 2 to the firing position of the firing rail 1.
The ball 5 is detected by the sensor 6, and the mallet actuating solenoid 4 is operated by the detection signal to hit the ball 5 at the firing position. Therefore, the ball does not hit blank. Further, since it is possible to confirm with the sensor that the ball is stable at the launch position, unevenness in flight can be prevented because the ball that is stable is struck with a hammer.

[0007]

According to the present invention, a pachinko ball sensor is arranged at the launch position of the pachinko ball launch rail, and the detection signal from the ball sensor and the mallet drive device are linked together. Since the ball is hit only when there is a ball at the launch position, there is no blank hit and it is possible to prevent unevenness of the ball from flying.
