Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] In this invention, after the product is sold, the electric roulette brush automatically starts rotating, and when the rotation stops at a predetermined hit position, the product can be given out as a prize again for free, and the This invention relates to a vending machine with a number of prizes in which the winning frequency can be arbitrarily set.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vending machine with a roulette-style wheel, which is expected to increase sales by dispensing a prize if the machine wins, and its content is as follows:
A pulse signal generation circuit that generates a pulse signal in response to a sales completion signal output by product ejection, a ring counter circuit that operates in response to this pulse signal, and a plurality of circuits connected to each counting stage of this ring counter circuit. a lamp circuit, one of which is set as a winning lamp, a counting circuit that counts the sales completion signal, a frequency setting circuit that sets the frequency of winning prizes, and a count value of the counting circuit. a matching circuit that emits a signal when the set value of the setting circuit matches; a time limit circuit that operates upon receiving the sales completion signal and emits a signal when a predetermined time has elapsed; When a signal from the matching circuit is present, the pulse signal input to the ring counter circuit is controlled so that the counting operation of the ring counter circuit stops at a predetermined counting stage connected to the winning lamp, and the pulse signal is controlled for discharging prizes. and a control circuit that outputs an output signal and controls a pulse signal input to the ring counter circuit so that the 9771977 circuit stops at a counting stage other than a predetermined counting stage when there is no signal from the matching circuit. It is characterized by:

The present invention will be explained based on illustrated embodiments.

In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a machine casing of a vending machine, and its front panel is provided with a brand display board 2, a push button 3, a product outlet 4, and a roulette board 5 consisting of a plurality of lamps.

This roulette board 5 is made up of, for example, 10 lamps 6 arranged in a circle, and is connected to a 9771977 circuit 8 which is driven by receiving pulse signals from a pulse generation circuit 7.
-9 lamps 6 are turned on in sequence.

The pulse generation circuit 7 starts generating pulses in response to a sales completion signal that is output when the sale of a product is completed. For example, the pulse generation circuit 7 starts generating pulses by using a voltage/frequency conversion circuit or the like while gradually decreasing the charge amount of the capacitor. It is preferable to reduce the frequency of the output pulse over time, as this gives the impression that the roulette wheel is rotating more slowly.

In addition, the sales completion signal is a counting circuit 9 that counts this signal.
The count value output from the counting circuit 9 is inputted to the matching circuit 10.

- The set value of the frequency setting circuit 11 for setting the frequency of winning prizes is also input to the spread and the line 10, and the count value of the counting circuit 9 and L
When the matching circuit matches, the matching circuit is connected to send a signal to the control circuit 12.

The sales completion signal is further sent to a time limit circuit 13, and after a certain period of time, for example, several seconds, a signal is sent from the time limit circuit 13 to the control circuit 12, and the control circuit 12 is activated.

When the control circuit 12 receives the signal from the timer circuit 13, if the signal from the coincidence circuit 10 is input, the control circuit 12 controls the lighting of the lamp to stop at the winning number (temporarily set to "3") on the roulette board 5. , the pulse from the pulse generation circuit 7? It is designed to control counting in the counting counter circuit 8.

That is, while detecting a predetermined counting stage of the 9771977 circuit 8 connected to the hit lamp "3", pulse counting is stopped when the counting operation reaches that counting stage.

In this case, the control circuit 12 sends a signal to the output circuit 14, and the output circuit 14 outputs a discharge signal.

Further, even if a signal is sent from the timer circuit 13 to the control circuit 12, if there is no signal from the matching circuit 10, the control circuit 12
Then, check the counting stage of the ring counter circuit 8 at that time, and if it is counting at a counting stage other than the predetermined counting stage corresponding to the hit number "3", the pulse input is immediately cut off, and if there is a hit. If it is operating at the predetermined counting stage corresponding to number "3", the cutoff timing is slightly shifted and 97719
77 circuit 8 controls the counting operation so that it does not stop at a predetermined counting stage.

Therefore, every time a product is sold, a sales completion signal is issued, and this signal activates the pulse generation circuit 7, causing the 977197
The lamps 6 of the roulette board 5 are sequentially turned on via the seven circuits 8.

When the frequency of the pulses becomes low and the rotation of the roulette becomes slow, a signal is sent to the control circuit 12 from the time circuit 13, which was activated in response to the sales completion signal.

The sales completion signal is also sent to the counting circuit 9 at the same time, and the counting circuit 9 counts the number of signals.

When this counted value matches a preset value of the frequency setting circuit 11 (for example, if a prize is given once for every 5 sales, the set value is "5"), the control is performed via the matching circuit 10. to circuit 12.

The control circuit 12 starts operating when a signal is transmitted from the time limit circuit 13, but the control operation differs depending on the presence or absence of a signal from the coincidence circuit 10.

That is, if there is a signal from the matching circuit 10, it means that the number of times for dispensing the prize has been reached, and in this case, the ring counter circuit 8 is activated so as to stop the ring counter circuit 8 at the winning counting stage (for example, 3). 8 controls the counting of pulses, and further sends a signal to the output circuit 14 to output an ejection signal.

Then, when the push button 3 is pressed, the product will be discharged again, but in this case, the sales completion signal may or may not be generated again.

However, if the sale completion signal is generated and the roulette board 5 is rotated by the prize, the frequency setting circuit 11
If you do not add 1■ to the set number, you must be careful because even if you set it to ``5'', you will actually win a prize at a rate of 1 in 4.

Further, when a prize is dispensed, it is necessary to send a signal from the control circuit to reset the count value of the count number 9.

Furthermore, even if a signal is transmitted from the timer circuit 13 to the control circuit 12, if there is no signal from the coincidence circuit 10,
This is a so-called win in which no prize is given out, and the ring counter circuit 8 must be stopped at a stage other than the winning counting stage.

Therefore, if the counting stage of the 9771977 circuit 8 when the signal from the time limit circuit 13 is transmitted is other than the correct counting stage, a signal is sent from the control circuit 12 to stop pulse counting and the lamp counter circuit 8 is stopped at that counting stage.

If it is in the hit position, the stop timing of pulse counting is slightly delayed and several more pulses are counted by the ring counter circuit 8, and the counting of pulses is stopped after the counting stage of the 9771977 circuit 8 becomes other than the counting stage of the hit. do.

After the control circuit 12 operates, the pulse generating circuit 7 stops its operation at an appropriate timing.

FIG. 3 shows the configuration of an example of this control circuit 12 together with its peripheral circuits.

If the output from the counting circuit 9 and the output from the frequency setting circuit 11 match, the coincidence circuit 10 outputs a high logic level (H level) hit signal to the line 20a.

This signal is supplied to the first AND gate 12a of the control circuit 12, and the first AND gate 12a is further connected to the line 2.
It also supplies a signal that appears on the drive line of the hit lamp "3" via 0b.

On the other hand, both of these signals are supplied to the second AND gate 12d via NOT circuits 12b and 12C, respectively.

These first and second AND games) 12 a. 23d (7
) output to the 3rd AN via OR gate 12e
Supplied to D gate 12f.

This third AND gate 12f is also supplied with a signal supplied from the timer circuit 13 via the line 20C.

The output of the third AND gate 12f is connected to the stop input terminal of a counter in the ring counter circuit 8 via a line 12g.

Further, the output signal of the first AND gate) 12a and the signal passed through the line 20C from the timer circuit 11 are both connected to the fourth AND gate.
D game) 12h, and sends this output to the output circuit 14.

According to the control circuit 12 having the above configuration, when the hit signal is supplied from the coincidence circuit 10 and the signal appears on the line 20b, that is, when the lamp "3" is lit, the first AND
The output of gate) 12a becomes H level, and OR gate 12
The signal is supplied to the third AND gate 12f via the gate e.

Furthermore, since the signal from the timer circuit 13 is also supplied to the third AND gate 12f, the output of the third AND gate 12f becomes H level, and a stop signal is supplied to the counter of the ring counter circuit 8, and this counter is hit. It stops at the counting stage corresponding to lamp "3", and lamp "3" continues to light up.

Also, at this time, the output of the first AND game) 12a is
The signal is supplied to the ND game H2h, the output circuit 14 is activated, and a prize discharge signal is generated.

On the other hand, when the hit signal is not supplied from the matching circuit 10, the output of the second AND game)-12d becomes H level when the counting stage of the count is in a counting stage other than the counting stage corresponding to the hit, and the output of the third AND game)-12f The output also becomes H level, the counter stops counting, and the lamps other than the hit lamp continue to light up.

The circuit configuration of this device is not limited to the embodiments and can be modified within the scope of the claims.

For example, the time limit circuit 13 may be configured to generate a time limit signal based on the potential of the capacitor used in the pulse generating circuit 7 when this potential decreases to a certain level.

Alternatively, the ring counter 8 may stop counting pulses by the operation of the control circuit 12 by stopping the operation of the pulse generation circuit 7.

Furthermore, if the pulse generation circuit 7 and the time limit circuit 13 are too precise, the lamp 6 will always stop at a fixed position, which will make it less interesting.

Therefore, it is preferable that at least one of them has poor accuracy and has appropriate variations.

Furthermore, if the setting value of the frequency setting circuit 11 is always constant, there will be regularity in winning prizes, and to avoid this, the frequency setting value should be automatically changed every time a prize is dispensed. It is better to make it .

In this way, in the vending machine with number of prizes according to the present invention,
Each time a product is sold, a roulette board consisting of a lamp is rotated and stopped at a winning position at a certain frequency to eject a prize.It is intended to stimulate the customer's gambling spirit and increase sales. .
