Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine management device in a pachinko game parlor.

<Conventional technology> Previously, each detection switch in a pachinko machine, the command signal to the machine, and the central control machine were individually wired, so when the number of pachinko machines in a store increased, the number of wiring became enormous. Moreover, as the number of detection switches for each pachinko machine increases, such as detection switches for the number of safe balls passing, number of out balls passing, etc., glass breakage detection sensors, customer presence detection sensors, etc., the number of wires increases. As a result, the wiring work is not only complicated, but also requires a great deal of labor to inspect the wiring.

<Objective of the Invention> The object of the present invention is to significantly reduce the number of wires, and to unify the wiring in the pachinko game hall and the connections between each pachinko machine, thereby making it easier to install pachinko machines or replace pachinko machines. To provide a pachinko game machine management device that allows wiring work to be performed extremely easily and in a short time.

<Configuration of the Invention> The configuration of the present invention is that a plurality of groups of islands each consisting of a plurality of pachinko machines are arranged in a pachinko game parlor, and each pachinko game machine can handle various conditions such as passage of pachinko balls or damage to the pachinko machine. In a device equipped with a plurality of switches for detecting, one terminal of the plurality of switches of each pachinko game machine is commonly connected to derive a common lead wire, and the terminals of the plurality of switches of each pachinko game machine are connected in common, and the terminals of the plurality of switches of each pachinko game machine correspond to each other. Switches are commonly connected to each island to provide a common connection line for each island, the common lead wires are connected in parallel to each island, and the management device sends a time-sharing signal to each common lead wire for each island. It is characterized in that it is constructed so that the signals from the common connection line for each island are serially converted for each island and introduced into the management device.

<Example> FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

The central management device 1 includes a CPU (central processing unit) 2,
A printer 3 and a CRT display 4 that output data processing results, a keyboard 5 that instructs data processing, an address counter 6 that counts clock pulses CL and creates, for example, a 6-bit code, and this 6-bit code is decoded into 64 codes. A decoder 7 that selects one of the signal lines, a first memory 8 that has (64×m) addresses and stores data necessary for management for each address, and a first memory 8 that has the same number of addresses as the first memory. , or a second memory 9 having a storage area corresponding to the address of the first memory and storing information on whether or not to catch a pachinko ball and whether or not the number of game balls to be stopped has been reached; A high-speed serial conversion circuit 10 that converts, for example, five parallel input signals from m islands into series on an island-by-island basis, and a filter 11 that converts the serially converted signals into F waves of components synchronized with the time division period of the address counter. ,
It is determined whether or not the filter output signal has changed by comparing it with the signal before the above-mentioned time-division cycle, and when the filter output signal changes from 607 to 611, for example, It is constituted by a detection circuit 12 which outputs a detection signal to increase the data content of the address of one memory 8 by (+1).

In a pachinko game hall, a group of a plurality of pachinko game machines forms an island, and m islands are arranged. The output lines (for example, 64 lines) 13 of the decoder 7 are connected in parallel to the can height, and the common connection lines 14 for each can height are introduced into the high serial conversion circuit 10, and the CPU 2 is connected to the can height. A command signal line 15 for commands such as , ball catching, etc. is connected to the can height via a multiplexer 16 .

Figure 2 shows a circuit diagram of one island. A large number of pachinko gaming machines 21...21 each have five switches s,,s
2. s3. s,, s5 and game ball launch motor +
It is equipped with a magnet for catching pachinko balls, and a drive circuit XC (integrated circuit) for driving '1 and M2. The five switches can be used for various purposes, such as a safe ball passing sensor, an out ball passing ball sensor, a lift ball passing sensor, a prize ball passing sensor, a supply ball passing ball sensor,
Any one can be selected from among discharged soil passing ball/seat, glass breakage sensor, player presence/absence detection sensor, etc. The IC of the drive circuit has, for example, an input line part 2 for a ball catching command signal and a stop command signal, and a common line COM,
An actuator such as a motor or magnet is connected to the output line. This common line COM and five switches S1 to S,
One terminal of the terminals is commonly connected to form one common lead wire 22.
The other terminals of the five switches 81 to S5 are individually led out as the first lead wire group 23, and the construction C
Input lineman,.

are individually led out as a second lead wire group 24.

These lead wires 22, 23, 24 are connected to the wiring 13, 14 in the pachinko game hall through one connector 25.
．． It is detachably connected to 15.

FIG. 3 shows a circuit diagram of the high serial conversion circuit 100.

A common connection line 14 for each can height, which is made up of the first lead wire group of each pachinko machine, is an island timing signal T,
, T2.・Gate 26 whose opening/closing is controlled by Tm.
26, and corresponding output lines of each gate are commonly connected and sent to individual filters and detection circuits.

In the above configuration, the CPU outputs time division signals from tl to te&, for example, based on the clock signal as shown in FIG.
T2. ...Output Tm. The decoder 7 sequentially outputs the time-division signals t1 to t64. High serial conversion circuit 10
is the detection signal of island 1 when the control signal T,
2, the detection signal of island 2 is transferred to island 3. The signals are serially converted and output in the order of island 4 . As a result, for example, T
It is possible to identify that the signal at the timing of , t, is generated from the pachinko machine in the 1st corner of the island 1, and that the signal at the timing of T2t, for example, is generated from the pachinko machine in the 9th corner of the island 20. Then, (+1) is added to the data at the corresponding address in the first memory 8.

Also, according to predetermined calculation rules, for example, the pachinko machine of 51 on island 1 and the ! of island 2! If you want to issue a stop command signal to 20 pachinko machines at the same time, connect T to the stop command signal line 15.
, t, and a signal is output at the timing of T2t2o,
At the multiplexer 16, the signals T, t, are distributed to island l at timing t1, and the signal T2t2o is distributed to island 2 at timing t20. As a result, only the IC of the pachinko machine of island 1 and the IC of the pachinko machine of island 2 and 20 are driven to achieve the intended purpose.

<Effects of the Invention> According to the conventional system, if there are 64 pachinko machines on one island, each with 5 detection switches and 2 operation objects, and there are 8 islands, In addition to commonly using a common line, (5+2) x 64
The number of common connection lines for each island is (5+2), which means a total of 64-1-(5+2)×8=120 signal lines, and the number of terminals on the central management device is also reduced to 120.

In addition, if the eight lead wires of each pachinko machine are used in different colors, and the terminal relationships of the connector 5 are made common, incorrect wiring can be prevented. When changing the layout, wiring work can be completed immediately by simply connecting and disconnecting the connector.
