Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a back mechanism board of a pachinko game machine, and in particular, when a ball hit into the game board enters a winning area, it is electrically detected and a predetermined number of prize balls are distributed. With the electronic control of the mechanism for dispensing prize balls, the hanging part of the prize ball's falling path was shifted to one side of the back set board, which was different from the conventional one, and a prize ball dispensing device was installed in the middle of this hanging part. In addition to making it possible to form a wide space in the center of the back of the game board by attaching the As the structure has a flow path converting section, the time is short.

As is well known, in a pachinko game machine, when a player drives balls into the game board one by one using a firing device installed at the bottom of the game board, the balls collide with obstacle nails and randomly change direction as they fall. A predetermined number of prize balls are given to the player by entering the winning area with a certain probability on the way there. Conventionally, such prize balls are paid out by
This is generally done by a mechanical prize ball dispensing device, such as the one shown in FIG. 1, which is attached to the back of the game board and operated by transmitting the physical force generated by the winning balls.

The back mechanism 220 in a conventional pachinko machine has a structure that is attached to the back side of the game board in a flat and entire surface, with a reserve ball storage tank 224 in the upper part, and a storage tank 224 connected to this. A ball chute 225 is separately provided to allow the spare balls to flow down and line up while making a U-turn in an S-shape, and a ball ejecting gutter 231 is externally assembled in the lower part of the ball chute 225 at the center of the back of the game board. The button is equipped with a prize ball dispensing mechanism and a winning ball collection gutter 221, and a controller 260 at the bottom that stores simultaneous winning balls and separates them one by one and lets them flow down, and a controller 260 that rotates depending on the weight of the separated winning balls. An operating lever 265 facing the winning ball discharge gutter 222 is provided, and an interlocking rod 2 connected to the end of the operating lever 265 is provided.
The physical force generated by the winning balls is transmitted to the prize ball case 268 provided at the end of the ball chute 225 through the link machine 66 and the link machine 267, and is activated to release a predetermined number of prize balls. Damper 26 located below
9, and further flowed down a prize ball discharge path 236 to pay out prize balls to a saucer in the front. Then, inside the center of the back mechanism 220, an out hole 219 and an out ball gutter 223 are provided to accommodate out balls that could not win anywhere, and to discharge them out of the machine.

Therefore, in conventional pachinko machines, the mechanical structure of the back mechanism 220 provided on the back of the game board is complicated, making assembly and positioning adjustment troublesome, and the components of the back mechanism 220 occupy a large space. On the other hand, in recent pachinko machines, there is a large-sized pachinko machine that uses an electric drive source to create a state in which a large number of prize balls are awarded, so-called lucky sevens. Machines with variable prize winning devices are becoming popular among players, and it is becoming more common for most types of machines to be equipped with large variable winning devices. However, in such large variable prize winning devices, the electric drive source often extends through the game board to the rear of the back set board,
A back mechanism equipped with a conventional mechanical prize ball dispensing device has the disadvantage that there is not enough space to extend such a variable prize winning device.

In addition, with the adoption of such a large variable prize winning device,
The chances of simultaneous or consecutive winning balls occurring are extremely high. However, the conventional mechanical prize ball payout f! In the structure,
As mentioned above, one payout cycle of the mechanical link motion takes about 1.5 seconds, but current electric firing devices can shoot 100 balls per minute.

In fact, since a batted ball is launched into the game board every 0.6 seconds, a large amount of winning balls will be generated in a short period of time, and there is a risk that the prize balls will not be able to catch up and the winning balls will stay one after another.◇ Therefore, a high-speed prize ball dispensing device is required, and a large amount of prize balls are to be paid out to players, so it is necessary to smooth the flow of prize balls, enlarge the prize ball ejection path, and strengthen the structure. However, in the conventional back mechanism as shown in FIG. 1, there is a ball chute 225 that aligns and guides the spare balls in the storage tank 224 to the prize ball case 268 at the center of the back of the game board.
Because of the meandering shape, the spare balls cannot flow down smoothly, and the prize balls ejected from the prize ball case 268 once fall onto the damper 269 before passing through the prize ball ejection path 236.
Because of the structure in which the prize balls flow down, the ejected prize balls are dispersed in pieces on the damper 269 and it takes time for them to flow out into the saucer. Therefore, for example, if the last ball you have during a game falls into the winning area that gives you a special benefit, even if the variable winning device called Atatsuka, which increases the possibility of winning, opens, there will be no balls in the saucer. In addition, the payout of prize balls is slow, which often causes players to become irritated.Furthermore, in the conventional back mechanism, the prize ball discharge path 236 from the tray and damper 269 to the tray can be disposed of in a short time. The recent Hooky Seven type is not designed with the assumption that a large amount of prize balls will be produced, and therefore does not have sufficient structural strength and capacity to accommodate prize balls, resulting in a situation where a large amount of prize balls are paid out in a short period of time. When applied to a pachinko game machine, the prize balls quickly become clogged from the tray to the upper part of the prize ball discharge path 236 upstream thereof, sometimes causing a malfunction such as the prize ball dispensing mechanism stopping in operation.

In addition, the prize balls falling apart on the damper 269 collide with the bell 237 that is provided at the end of the prize ball ejection path 236 and generates an exhilaration when the prize balls collide. The sound becomes uneven, making it difficult to obtain an effective ringing sound, and when the saucer is full, the bell is filled with prize balls, causing the bell to immediately stop sounding.

This invention was made against the above background.
By adopting an electric prize ball dispensing device that is operated based on a winning detection signal generated by electrically detecting a batted ball that enters the input L< region, the control lever 2602 operating lever in the back mechanism is operated. 265, interlocking rod 266, etc., and the entire back mechanism, which mainly consists of the prize ball dispensing device, can be made more compact. It is possible to form a wide space in the center by offsetting the back side to one side of the setting board, and the prize ball ejection path is structured to have a wide space and strength. In other words, this invention makes it possible to install a large variable winning device that protrudes from the back of the game board, and also enables the adoption of a large variable winning device and prizes. In response to the generation of large amounts of prize balls due to the electrification of the ball dispensing device, the entire flow path of the prize balls has been designed to be simpler and more rigid than before, and the prize ball ejection path has been designed to be tilted upstream of the receiving tray. so that the prize ball reaches the tray from the prize ball dispensing device to the saucer in the shortest distance,
In addition, the structure from the prize ball discharge path to the tray and auxiliary tray has a wide space and rigidity, and has a functional flow path converting section for the tray and auxiliary tray, so that a large amount of 'A' can be produced in a short time. The purpose is to be able to quickly dispose of and contain any debris that occurs.

Furthermore, in this invention, the structure of the prize ball lead-out path and the mounting of the bell are adjusted so that the prize balls ejected from the prize ball dispensing device can be rectified and collided with the most effective position of the bell below. By optimizing the sound, the aim is to be able to generate a relatively loud, even, pleasant sound.

In addition, the taxiway leg is provided so that the partition wall 25a gradually rises so as to automatically align and guide the spare balls in one row and two rows, and the guideway legs are completely raised at the above-mentioned approximately vertically descending portion. In the middle of the taxiway 25, the ball pressure in the taxiway 25 changes slightly depending on the amount of balls stored in the preliminary storage section 24.
In order to prevent balls from stacking in two or three tiers and causing a ball locking phenomenon, 1 to 3 swingable ball nuts 728 are provided, and by attaching one end of the balls, the balls can be tilted freely. A press plate 29 is provided.

At the bending part 25b of the guideway 25, a ball removal mechanism is provided, and at the bending part 25b, which faces the socket of the ball removal path 31, a part of the outer peripheral surface can be opened and closed. A peripheral wall portion 32 which is shaped like this, and a swing rod 33 that swingably holds the peripheral wall portion 32.
and an operating rod 34 that can freely tilt is provided above it, a locking portion 33 a of the width moving rod 33 and a convex portion 34 a of the operating rod 34.
When the ball is disengaged by an external operation, the circumferential wall 32 is opened and the spare ball is allowed to enter the ball extraction path 31.

The ball extraction passage 31 is arranged in parallel with the guide passage 25, and the lower part of the passage is bent and buried toward the 81!1 Nitoma part A1, and extends to the lower part of the pachinko rock. C. The spare balls are configured to be taken out of the aircraft.O Then, in the middle of the substantially vertically descending portion of the guideway section, there are detection plates 57a facing into the flow path for each row. and a microswitch 57b.
7 is installed to monitor abnormalities in the flow of spare balls due to contamination of the ball stops 9 or dirt in the guideway 25, and to output command signals to the control device 150.

The electric prize ball dispensing device 40 connected to the taxiway is
As one embodiment will be described in detail later, it is composed of a sprocket 42 and a pulse motor 41 as a driving source, and the rear setting board 21
It is compact enough to be placed on the back and one side of the device.

The prize ball payout device 40 is a device that pays out a predetermined number of prize balls to the player as the ball hits the entered prize area and the winning ball detector 55 within the entered prize balls J4F 1lilk, 2-λ. According to the drive command signal formed based on the signal from
When detecting an abnormality in the flow of spare balls as described above, the control device 50 either stops the ejection of prize balls at that point or waits until the ejection operation is completed, that is, until a predetermined number of prize balls have been ejected. Then, the control device 50 lights up the display lamp 58 (see FIG. 11), such as an ED display element.
Ensure that the cause of the outage is immediately identified and that prompt action is taken.
6, and also reliably prevents a shortage of prize balls due to inaccurate ejecting operations and balls getting caught in the sprocket 42 due to deviations in ejecting timing.

Below the prize ball dispensing device 40, there is a
A prize ball lead-out path 36 is continuously provided on the back surface and is formed so as to extend the second space At to below the prize ball payout device 40. This prize ball lead-out path 36 is formed in a substantially S-shape to allow the prize ball to rectify and flow down, and has a structure that allows the falling ball to collide with a bell 37 provided in the F direction to generate a pleasant sound. It becomes.

The pick and bell 37 are fixed to the lower part of the prize ball leading-out path 36 so that half from the upper end to the left side faces into the prize ball leading-out path 36, and the ball is rectified within the prize ball leading-out path 36. The prize ball that has flown down will collide directly with the upper quarter of the bell n from the tangential direction. Therefore, the bell a generates a loud noise due to the collision with the upper quarter of the prize ball, and since the prize ball collides after being rectified in the S-shaped prize ball lead-out path 36, an even rhythmic sound is produced. A refreshing sound is generated. Moreover, since the prize ball collides with the bell 37 from the tangential direction, it is less likely to be dispersed in all directions than when the prize ball collides with the bell 37 from the radial direction, and the prize balls after the collision quickly flow into the saucer 9.

The prize ball lead-out path 36 and the hanging portion of the guiding path 25 above it constitute a hanging portion of the prize ball flowing path that is offset to one side of the back setting board 21.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, in the lower part of the prize ball outlet path 36, in the vicinity of the bell 37, a flow path is converted approximately 90 degrees to communicate with the saucer 9 provided on the front of the pachinko game dx. It has a flow path converting part A, and the prize ball flowing down is the second space part A of the prize ball lead-out path 36.

From there, it passes through the first space A1 and the game board 8 to reach the surface of the game board. That is, at the flow path changing portion 38, the direction is changed from the substantially vertical prize ball lead-out path 36 to the horizontal direction, and the ball is gently tilted toward the front of the game board.
Prize ball outlet 9a provided at upstream 1NI+ of receiver 119
[The prize ball guide trough 36a is formed continuously with the prize ball outlet path 36 so as to form a relatively wide communicating flow path,
As shown in FIG. 7, this prize ball guide pJ36a is connected to the upstream side of the tray 9 by a connection gutter 39 that is integrally attached to the tray 9 so as to penetrate the first space A1 and the game board 8. 5, which is in communication with the exit 9a. Therefore, the prize balls flowing down inside the prize ball lead-out path 36 are
After colliding with the bell 37 and generating an exhilarating sound, it changes its direction forward at the flow path converting section 38 and enters the prize ball guide d 36 a.
The contact vcjJ 39 is immediately discharged from the ML outlet 9a to the saucer 9. The prize balls discharged into the saucer 9 flow down toward the other end of the firing device by their own weight, and are supplied one by one to the guide rail base in conjunction with the firing operation.

In the embodiment described above, since the prize ball dispensing device 4o and the prize ball lead-out path 36 are provided upstream of the tray 9, the paid-out prize balls reach the tray 9 in the shortest distance. Therefore,
Together with the simplification of the guideway 25 and the electrification of the prize ball ejecting device 40, as well as the electronic control of the back mechanism panel, the prize ball is actually placed on the tray 9 after a winning ball is hit in the game board. The time it takes for the money to be paid out will be shorter.

Further, the prize ball guide path 3G and the prize ball guide +aa6a are configured integrally with the back setting board 21, and the first space part A
, and has a strong structural mechanical strength, and as a result, a wide space can be provided from the prize ball guide trough 36a to the prize ball outlet path 36. Therefore, it can sufficiently withstand even if a large amount of prize balls fall down, and can accommodate a large amount of prize balls.

In the above embodiment, the bell 37 is provided in the vicinity of the flow path conversion section 38, that is, in the lower part of the prize ball outlet path 36, but it may be provided further upstream within the prize ball outlet path 36. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the flow path converting section 38 at the lower part of the prize ball outlet path 3G has a structure that further extends the second space A2 toward the left obliquely downward direction. A large auxiliary storage section 47 is formed and connected to the auxiliary tray 12 provided at the lower front of the game board 8. By configuring the system so that the prize balls automatically come out and flow downward, it is possible to store a large number of prize balls without bothering the player. It is now able to deal with Pachinko Tsuki called Lucky Seven. In other words, the second space A! A regulating piece 48 is provided protruding from the connecting part between the flow path converting part 38 and the auxiliary storage part 47 in order to normally prevent the ejected prize ball from climbing over it, but as the saucer 9 becomes full, When the prize balls are accumulated toward the upstream side of the prize ball outlet path 3G and the flow path conversion section 38 is also full, the ejected prize balls automatically overcome the regulation piece 48 and flow out to the auxiliary storage section 47. It has become. Then, on the side of this auxiliary storage section 47 (on the left side in the figure), there is disposed a winning ball discharge path 22 whose flow path is converted from the first space section to the second space section side. On the other hand, the auxiliary storage section 4
In the first space on the opposite side of the winning ball ejecting path 22 so as to sandwich the out ball ejecting path 31, an out ball ejecting hole 4JI23, in which the downstream part of the ball ejecting path 31 is merged, is arranged.

In this way, the auxiliary storage section 47 has a structure in which the second space section is extended through the flow path conversion section side without being affected by the winning discharge path 22 or the out ball discharge @contact, so that the second space section is extended through the flow path conversion section side. Prize balls overflowing from the flow path conversion part 38 can be quickly flowed down without causing clogging.

Further, the auxiliary storage section 47 converts the flow path through the second space Avj to the front side of the pachinko machine 1 by about 90 degrees, passes through the lower part of the game board 8, and further penetrates the front frame 4 to form the auxiliary saucer. Connected to 12.

As described above, the preliminary storage section and the taxiway 25 are arranged above to form a second space A on the back side of the board 21, and the taxiway are set consecutively,
By providing the prize ball guide gutter ft 40, the prize ball outlet path 36, and the auxiliary storage section 47, and by arranging the ball extraction path 31 in parallel, the back mechanism panel can be further consolidated, and a relatively wide empty space C can be created in the center. can be configured. The void this C may be formed on the back of the back setting board 21 by forming the first space A by making the back setting board 21 entirely integrated as in the above embodiment, or Further, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 4, a collecting plate 49 is formed on the back of the back setting board 21 so that salt 9 can be attached freely. It's okay. In this way, as shown in FIG.
Since the opening through which the variable prize winning device 18 projects rearwards can be formed in the collecting plate 49 which can be separated and ojed, the punching process becomes easy.

FIG. 8 shows one 41 of the electric 75-item ball dispensing device 4o.

The prize ball B that has come into contact with the sprocket is locked so that it does not flow out, and the prize ball B' that has engaged with the four parts 42a is held between the blocking plate 43 and the following prize ball B'. When 42 rotates, it is separated by the claw portion 42b,
Downward discharge 1. '1. It's a trap to force i144 to drop vif.

FIG. 10 shows the ejecting action in the prize ball dispensing device 40. As shown in FIG. 10 (1), the ball B1, which has first engaged with the recess 42al of the sprocket 42, moves to the claw portion as the sprocket rotates. When the ball B following the ball BI comes into contact with the claw portion 42b1 as shown in (2) in the figure, the concave HB42
The ball B1 is held in the ball B1 and sent downward by the claw portion 42bt to be separated. And ball B, the subsequent ball B4
When the ball Bs comes into contact with the claw portion 42b, the ball Bs is engaged with the four mushroom portions 42a and separated by the claw portion 42b1. In this way, due to the separation action caused by the rotation of the sprocket 42, the balls lined up inside the outlet portions 25cI and 25c are taken out alternately one by one, and υ is discharged into the outlet trough 44. Go.

An L-shaped notch is formed in the upper 6th and YU 7° rate 43, and as shown in FIG.
An ejected bulb detector 45 including a plurality of sensors 45 a to 45 d is provided. Upward sensor +5 a~4
Of the 5 d, sensors 45 a and 45 b detect whether there is a ball to be ejected next in the exit portions 25 c and 250 hiro, and sensors 45 c and 45 d detect whether the ball has been ejected or not. Both can be configured using original sensors and proximity switches.

In the prize ball dispensing device 40, when the winning detection signal output from the winning detection signal is supplied to the control device 50, the motor 41 is driven by a drive signal output from between the control devices and starts discharging balls. At this time, between the control devices,
After confirming that the spare balls are present at the exit of the taxiway 25 based on the detection signal from the ejected ball detector 45, ejection is started, and ejection confirmation is also output from the ejected ball detector 45 for each prize ball. Upon receiving the signal, it detects the discharge state, determines that the number of prize balls has reached a predetermined number, outputs a one-out end signal to the prize ball dispensing device 40, and stops the rotation of the motor 41. .

FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing an example of a control system for the prize ball deriving device between the control devices.

A winning detection signal (pulse) generated from the winning ball detector 55 corresponding to each winning ball is supplied to a memory circuit 51 as a storage means such as a counter, and counted, thereby determining the number of winning balls. be remembered. The control circuit 52 includes:
A detection signal from the ejected ball detector section in the prize ball dispensing device 40 is input, and the stored value in the memory circuit 51 is ``''1.
When the value becomes H or higher, a drive start signal for driving the motor 41 of the prize ball dispensing device 40 is output. Then, the motor 41
rotates and starts discharging the prize balls, and a detection signal (pulse) is sent from the detector 45 to the control circuit 52 for each prize ball. The 1ill elevation circuit 52 counts the detection signal of the engine using, for example, an internal counter, and the count 1
When the adjustment reaches the preset value in the internal setting device,
When it is determined that a predetermined number of prize balls have been dispensed, a signal to stop the motor drive 4 is output, or the output of the motor drive signal is stopped to complete discharging.

In addition, when the detector 45 detects that there are no balls to be discharged at the exit section 5 or 25 (!t) at the end of the taxiway 5 due to soil clogging or the like during discharge, the output is In response, the control circuit H652 immediately stops the motor 41, holds the counter value as it is, and turns the exit section 2
When prize balls enter 5e+ and 25e*, the motor 41 is operated again to discharge the remaining prize balls. When the discharge of - times is completed, the control circuit 52 sends a signal to the memory circuit 51 to decrement (reduce) the memory answer.

In addition, the control circuit 52 is configured to manually input a signal from the ball shortage detector 56, so that when there are no spare balls in the reserve storage section 24 and a detection signal is sent to the control circuit 52, the motor 41 is driven. may be stopped, and the ejection of prize balls may be stopped.

In this case, even if the ejection of prize balls is stopped, the number of winning balls is retained in the memory circuit 51, and if there is a new winning during that time, it is detected, counted up, and stored. and,
When the reserve balls have been replenished into the reserve storage section 24, it is preferable to start discharging the prize balls again in response to a control signal from the control circuit 52.

On the other hand, the control circuit 52 monitors an abnormality in the flow of the ball based on a signal from a flow-down abnormality detector 57 installed in the middle of the guideway 25, where dust and foreign objects tend to enter and cause blockage. When a signal is received, the payout device 4() is stopped. The downflow abnormality detector 57 is provided for each row of pre-υ1i1 balls that are arranged in two lines and flow down inside the taxiway device. 50 is backed up by a battery in order to detect a power outage and retain the tW information of the number of winning balls in the memory circuit 51 so as not to be lost.

In the above embodiment, by changing the setting value of the setting device in the control 1r-Q path 52, it is possible to pay out any number of prize balls at one time.

Moreover, several setters are provided in the control circuit 52 of the above embodiment to set different set values, and the winning area 1
It is also possible to provide a prize detector every 5 to 18, distinguish the type of prize and store it in the memory circuit 51, and change the number of balls to be discharged according to the type of prize.

As explained above, the present invention employs an electric prize ball dispensing device that is operated based on a winning detection signal generated by electrically detecting a ball that enters a winning area, and In line with electronic control and eliminating the need for a complicated on-machine j configuration, the hanging part of the prize ball falling path, including the prize ball lead-out path, is deviated toward the -(tall side of the back set board, and this deviation Since the prize ball dispensing device is arranged in the hanging part O of the flow path, a wide empty space is formed in the center of the back of the game board, and it protrudes greatly from the back of the game board to the rear of the back set board. It is now possible to install a large-scale variable prize winning device using an electric drive source such as the one described above, thereby further enhancing the entertainment value of the pachinko game machine.

Furthermore, this invention deviates the hanging part of the prize ball's falling path to the 111J side of the back setting board, makes the entire falling path a simpler structure than the conventional one, and sets the prize ball outlet path to 11T upstream of the saucer. 1, so that the prize ball reaches the shortest distance from the prize ball dispensing device to the receiving tray, thereby shortening the time from when a winning ball is generated until the prize ball is paid out. Also, even when the last ball is won and the Atatsuka is opened, players are less likely to be irritated.

Moreover, this invention has a convex ball guide path and a prize ball guide gutter which are integrated with the rear set face and '+, and which are connected to the first space part which mainly serves as the downward flow path of the prize ball. In addition to having a spatially laminated structure, the structure has a functional flow path converting part for the saucer and auxiliary saucer, that is, the flow channel is located at the lower part of the prize ball outlet path above the prize ball outlet of the saucer. A conversion part is provided, and with this flow path conversion part as a reference, a prize ball guide gutter that passes through the game board and communicates with the saucer is provided on one side, and a prize ball guide gutter is provided on the other side to extend the prize ball outlet path. The structure has an auxiliary storage section connected to the saucer, so
The structure from the prize ball guide path to the receiving tray and the auxiliary receiving tray has structural mechanical strength and a wide space, so that even if a large number of prize balls are generated in a short period of time, they can be quickly processed and accommodated. This makes it possible to fully cope with the recently popular Lucky Seven type pachinko game machine.

Furthermore, the present invention provides that the prize ball lead-out path is formed in a substantially S-shape, and a bell is attached in the middle of the prize ball lead-out path so that at least a quarter from the top end faces into the lead-out path.
As a result, the prize balls ejected from the prize ball dispensing device are rectified and collide with the upper quarter half of the bell from a tangential direction, thereby making it possible to generate an even and relatively loud pleasure sound. , and can prevent the prize balls from dispersing and allow them to flow down quickly.

In addition, an overflow mechanism is provided in the flow path conversion section at the bottom of the prize ball outlet path to automatically overflow the regulating piece and overflow into the auxiliary storage section when the receiver 1 and the prize ball outlet path become full with prize balls. By doing this, when the tray is full, the prize balls can be diverted to the auxiliary tray without bothering the player, and this prevents the prize balls from being packed from the tray to the prize ball outlet path. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of a failure that would cause the ball dispensing device to stop operating.
