Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wiring method having the capability of simplifying (making efficient) a work for changing pachinko machines. SOLUTION: An information transmission line with an information I/O cord group 2 led from a pachinko machine A and connected to a terminal box B is preliminarily formed so that an I/O signal line group 1 to the terminal box B is connected to the I/O output cord group 2 from the pachinko machine A via a plug-in type connector 3. When pachinko machines are changed, each cord of the information I/O cord group 2 is not connected independently but the end of the group 2 is connected and fixed to one part 32 of the connector 3 and the information transmission line is formed by coupling the connector 3.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wiring method for simplifying the work of replacing a pachinko machine in a game arcade equipped with a large number of pachinko machines.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a game arcade equipped with a large number of pachinko machines, the prize management (payout management) of each pachinko machine is carried out. That is, various kinds of information from the pachinko machine, such as which prize place on the pachinko machine the ball has won and what is the winning status up to now, are captured. These information transmission lines are provided with a terminal box B in the vicinity of the mounting position of the pachinko machine A for each pachinko machine A as shown in FIG. A permanent information line D is formed between the device (computer) C, a pachinko machine A and a terminal box B, an input / output code group a from the pachinko machine, and an input / output signal line group b of the terminal box B. And are connected for each corresponding signal line.

By the way, the pachinko machine is often replaced in anticipation of the fashion and the preference of the player (customer). In this replacement work, the formation of the information line between the pachinko machine A and the terminal box B cuts off the connection with the pachinko machine before the replacement, and the input / output code group a (usually the pachinko machine) of the new pachinko machine is cut. It is an accessory of the stand) and the corresponding input / output signal line group b of the terminal box B are connected.

[0004]

Generally, the pachinko machine replacement work described above must be carried out during the closing time of the game hall. However, in order to form the information line between the new pachinko machine and the terminal box, a large number of cords must be connected, and a connection target must be found from a large number of cords. Therefore, when the pachinko machine is replaced, the formation of this information line becomes very complicated. Therefore, the present invention proposes a wiring method that solves the above problems.

[0005]

A wiring method for exchanging a pachinko machine according to the present invention is a connection type connector in which an input / output signal line group to a terminal box and an input / output code group from the pachinko machine are previously inserted. When the pachinko machine is replaced, the other end of the input / output cord group of the pachinko machine, which has a small connector that can be freely attached to and detached from the pachinko machine, is connected to one of the connection connectors.
It is characterized in that it is connected and fixed corresponding to the input and output to the terminal box, and the information transmission line of the replacement pachinko machine and the terminal box is secured by the connection of the connecting connector.

Therefore, when the pachinko machine is replaced, the old pachinko machine may simply be disconnected from the connector, and the input / output code group of the new pachinko machine (a small connector for the pachinko machine is connected to one end). Is connected and fixed to one side of the connector at the same time or in advance at a place other than the replacement site according to the input / output to / from the terminal box. When the new pachinko machine is attached at a predetermined position, A predetermined information transmission line is formed simply by connecting the both-end connectors to the new pachinko machine and the connection connector on the terminal box side.

[0007]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. A game hall equipped with a large number of pachinko machines A has a terminal box B provided near the mounting position of the pachinko machines A and a central information processing device installed in a separate room for winning management (ball payout management) of the pachinko machines A. A (computer) C is provided, and a permanent information line D is formed between the terminal box B and the central information processing device C.

The information transmission lines between the pachinko machine A and the terminal box B are the input / output signal line group 1 to the terminal box, assuming that the pachinko machine is replaced.
The input / output cord group 2 from the pachinko machine is connected by a plug-in type connector 3. That is, the end portion of the input / output signal line 1 of the terminal box B is connected to one side (pin receiving side) 31 of the coupling connector 3.

Therefore, when the pachinko machine A is replaced, the small connectors 4a, 4b are attached to the new pachinko machine A as an accessory so that one end can be freely attached to and detached from the pachinko machine A.
The other end of each line of the input / output cord groups 2a, 2b ... The connector 32 is connected and fixed to a predetermined pin position. This work is formed in advance just before the pachinko machine A is replaced.

Therefore, when replacing the pachinko machine A, the old pachinko machine is removed from the installation site, and the information signal line between the conventional pachinko machine and the terminal box is realized by disconnecting the connection of the connecting connector 3 (the old one). The output cord group can be left attached to the old pachinko machine as it is, and it can be used as a used pachinko machine as it is.) The new pachinko machine is installed at a predetermined location and at the same time, the connecting connector 32 at the end of the output code group 2 is connected to the terminal box B side. When the small connectors 4a and 4b are connected to predetermined positions (connection parts 5a, 5b ...) Of the pachinko machine, the necessary information transmission lines are constructed.

Depending on the model, a prize ball signal line may be required separately. Therefore, in addition to the signal transmission line, the prize ball signal wiring 6 is incorporated in the terminal box side 31 of the connecting connector 3. Necessary wiring may be added.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, the information transmission line formed by connecting the information input / output code group from the pachinko machine to the terminal box is provided with the input / output signal line group to the terminal box and the pachinko machine. The input / output code group is connected with a plug-in type connecting connector, and when the pachinko machine is replaced, the other end of the input / output code group is not connected to each single line, but the other end of the input / output code group is connected to one of the connecting connectors. By connecting and fixing to and connecting the connector, the information transmission line of the replacement pachinko machine and the terminal box was constructed. Is significantly increased.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. An information transmission / reception line is formed by connecting an information input / output code group from a pachinko machine to a predetermined input / output signal line group of each terminal box provided at a mounting position of the pachinko machine to form an information transmission line. In the amusement hall where information is transmitted from the central processing equipment to other equipment, connect the input / output signal line group to the terminal box and the input / output code group from the pachinko machine in advance with the plug-in type connector. When replacing the pachinko machine, insert the other end of the input / output cord group of the pachinko machine, which has a small connector on one end side that can be freely attached to and detached from the pachinko machine, into one of the connecting connectors to the terminal box. By connecting and fixing according to the output and connecting the connection connector, the information transmission line of the replacement pachinko machine and the terminal box was secured.
