Description

[Detailed description of the invention] purpose of invention [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a prize ball discharge control device for a pachinko machine.

[Prior Art] Pachinko machines are generally equipped with a prize ejecting device, which ejects prize balls from the machine when a pachinko ball wins. For example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 60-25678, prize balls are once held in a prize dispenser which holds a fixed number of prize balls. Thereafter, the number of winning balls is counted according to the detection signal of the winning balls, and the prize ball dispenser is driven repeatedly for the number of winning balls, and prize balls corresponding to the number of winning balls are ejected.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Generally, there are multiple winning positions in a pachinko machine, pachinko balls are continuously launched, and the movement of the launched pachinko balls cannot be predicted. Therefore, the winning situation of winning balls is not uniform, and the factors that determine this winning situation are the difference in winning probability for each winning position and time. For example, Pl
If you win a prize at a winning position with a winning probability of P2, if you win a prize at a winning position with a winning probability of
If two or more prizes are won in a winning position with a winning probability of
A number of winning situations can be considered, such as a case where a player wins a prize at a winning position with a winning probability of P2 within a predetermined time t2 after winning at a winning position with a winning probability of It will be done.

However, irrespective of the above-mentioned winning situation, a certain number of prizes are simply dispensed repeatedly by the drive of the above-mentioned prize dispenser for each winning ball, and this does not attract the attention of the players. Furthermore, the structure of the above-mentioned premium law dispensing machine is generally complicated, and the reliability of the premium law dispensing machine is low due to wear and tear of driving parts.

The upper limit of the number of balls per winning ball under the Premium Act is regulated by law, so while the upper limit on the number of balls per winning ball is fluid, Since the number of balls under the Premiums Act is fixed, there is an inconvenience that existing pachinko machines have to be modified or discarded each time the above-mentioned upper limit is changed due to a legal amendment.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide diversity in the method of dispensing prizes for winning balls. For example, the objective is to provide a pachinko machine that can promptly respond to changes in the upper limit of the number of prize balls per gram of prize winning balls due to legal amendments.
Do you need multiple types of pachinko machines with different numbers of prize balls per winning ball within the above limit? It is to be.

l Sleeping Wheel [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the means constituted by the present invention, as shown in the basic configuration diagram of FIG. In the prize urine discharge control device for Pachinko IIP which discharges a predetermined number of prizes according to the winning method, winning situation detection means M1 detects the winning situation of the winning ball.
and a plurality of prize urine discharge means M2 that discharge a preset number of prize balls based on the drive signal, and calculate the number of prize balls to be discharged from the winning status detected by the entered prize status detection means M1. The gist of the present invention is a prize urine discharge control device for a pachinko machine, comprising: , a prize law discharge control means M3 that outputs a drive signal to each of the plurality of prize urine discharge means M2 based on the calculation result. .

[Effect] The operation of the above-mentioned configuration means will be explained as follows.

The entered prize status detection means M1 detects the numerous winning statuses described above using sensors such as a proximity switch that detects a winning ball that has entered a winning position and a timer that measures the time after winning a prize, and performs the prize winning method described later. It is output to the discharge control means M3.

The plurality of prize urine discharging means M2 discharge the prize urine when a drive signal is inputted from the prize law discharge control means M3 described later. The number of prize balls to be ejected based on the drive signal is arbitrarily set for each prefectural prize ball discharging means of the plurality of prize urine discharging means M2.

The prize law discharge control means M3 inputs the winning situation from the winning situation detection means M1, and calculates the number of balls of the prize law according to each input winning situation by comparing the predetermined winning situation and the number of balls of the prize law. A drive signal suitable for discharging the calculated number of balls according to the prize method is calculated from a corresponding map, etc., and is output to one of the plurality of prize urine discharging means M2 or a plurality of prize urine discharging means M2 appropriately combined. It is also possible to total the calculated number of balls for the prize method and output a drive signal suitable for discharging the total number of balls for the prize method. In other words, the prizes according to the prize status detected by the prize status detection means M1 can be discharged via the plurality of prize urine discharge means M2 according to the commands of the prize discharge control means M3.

The passage space 6 from the lower end of the vertical portion 4C to the prize receiving tray (not shown) at the front of the pachinko machine is used as a holding tank for ejected prize balls. Since each of the above members has the above-described configuration, the prize balls supplied to the prize ball storage tank 2 automatically pass through the inclined part 4a and the bent part 4b of the prize law flow path 4, and are incorporated into the flow path of the vertical part 4C. It reaches the premium law discharging device 100. As will be described later, when the prize discharging device 100 is driven, the prize balls pass through the vertical portion 4C of the prize channel 4, flow into the passage space 6, and are discharged into the prize receiving tray on the front of the pachinko machine.

Next, various detectors installed to detect the supply status of prize balls along the route of the prize balls described above will be explained.

A crank mechanism section 8 operated by the weight of the prize balls stored in the prize ball storage tank 2 is installed at the upper end of the slope 4a where the prize balls flow from the prize ball storage tank 2 into the prize law flow path 4, and the crank mechanism The reserved state of the prize balls in the prize ball storage tank 2 is detected by the first prize ball microswitch 10 attached so as to be interlocked with the operation of the part 8. A prize ball proximity switch 12 is installed at the end of the bent portion 4b of the prize flow channel 4 to detect the presence or absence of a prize ball by using changes in magnetic flux. Detect. When the ejected prize balls are retained in the entire passage space 6 and reach the lower end of the vertical portion 4C of the prize flow channel 4, no new prize balls can be ejected. A prize ball microswitch 14 is installed to detect the reserved state of the prize ball in the passage space 6.

Multiple winning positions 16 are placed at appropriate locations on the front of the pachinko machine 1.
．． 18 and 20 are provided. Among these, winning ball ejection paths 16a and 18a are installed at specific winning positions 16 to 18, respectively.

Winning balls that have won at winning positions 16 to 18 are discharged to the outside of the pachinko machine through winning ball discharge paths 16a to 18a. Winning ball ejection paths 16a and 18a are equipped with first and second winning ball proximity switches 16b and 18b that detect winning balls using changes in magnetic flux, and winning balls that hit winning positions 16 to 18 are installed. Detect winning status.

A winning ball discharge path 22 is communicated with the lowest part of the inclined bottom surface of a winning ball collection box 21 attached to the back of the pachinko machine so as to cover the back of winning positions 16, 18, and 20. Winning balls that have entered winning positions 20 other than winning positions 16 to 18 fall into the winning ball collection box 21, roll down along the bottom of the box, and are discharged out of the pachinko machine through the winning ball discharge path 22. . A third winning ball proximity switch 22a for detecting winning balls is attached to the winning ball ejection path 22, and a winning ball holding solenoid 24 is installed below the third winning ball proximity switch 22a. This winning ball holding solenoid 2
4 closes the winning ball ejection path 22 and closes the winning ball ejection path 22.
The lowest winning ball held inside is the detection tube of the third winning ball proximity switch.

Both members are positioned so that they are in pronation.

The third winning ball proximity switch 22a detects the winning status of the winning ball in the winning position @20, and the winning ball holding solenoid 24 closes the winning ball discharge path 22 in response to a drive signal from an electronic control circuit to be described later.

Note that 26 is a known pachinko ball firing motor, and an electronic control circuit 30 is attached to the right side of the prize ball storage tank 2.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the premiums discharging device 100 shown in FIG. 2.

The prize flow channel 4 is internally divided into three parts along the channel from the end of the inclined portion 4a. Each divided prize flow channel 41.
The cross sections 42 and 43 perpendicular to the flow path have a shape that allows one pachinko ball to pass along the flow path.

As shown in the figure, prize law discharging devices 101 to 103 are independently attached to surfaces perpendicular to the back surface of the pachinko machine (hereinafter referred to as mounting surfaces) of the vertical portions 4C of the prize law channels 41, 42 and 43. Since these three prize law discharging devices are all constructed from the same member, the premium law discharging device 101 attached to the premium law flow path 41, which is one prize law flow path, will be described.

A pair of support plates 121 are provided to protrude from the side wall of the premium channel 41 perpendicularly to the mounting surface of the premium channel 41 . Support plate 1
Rectangular cut-out windows are provided on the upstream and downstream mounting surfaces of 21, and the length of the side of the cut-out window perpendicular to the prize flow channel is shorter than the diameter of the pachinko ball. These two cutout windows are provided over a range that does not limit the swinging movement of the premium law discharge shutter 141, which will be described later. The pair of support plates 121 are provided at their distal ends with a communication hole having a diameter that allows the shirt shaft shaft 131 to be press-fitted and fixed thereto.

An L-shaped premium law discharge shutter 141 formed by a long side and a short side is inserted between the pair of support plates 121, and the communication hole of the pair of support plates 121 and the premium law discharge shutter 14
Insert the shaft shaft 1 into the hole provided in the protrusion at the center of the long side of 1.
31 is penetrated, and the premium law discharge shutter 141 is swingable around the shutter shaft 131. The claw 151, which is the short side of the premium law discharge shutter 141 assembled as described above, faces the cutout window provided downstream of the flow path of the support plate 21. On the other hand, the claw 15 of the prize ball ejection shutter 141
A premium law stopper 161 that is fitted and fixed in a band-shaped recess provided at the end opposite to 1 faces a cutout window provided upstream of the flow path of the support plate 121.

The spool of the Premium Act discharge solenoid 171 is pivoted to the protrusion provided on the back side of the claw 151 of the Premium Act discharge shutter 141, and the pachinko machine is operated so that the Premium Act discharge solenoid 171 is positioned at right angles to the Premium Act flow path 41. It is attached to the back of the pachinko machine via a raised platform 181 corresponding to the distance from the back of the machine to the prize flow path 41.

Next, the operations of the premium discharging shutter 141 and the premium discharging solenoid 171 will be explained based on FIG. 4, which is a sectional view taken along the free premium flow path 41.

In a state where a drive signal is not inputted to the freebies discharging device 101, that is, when a drive signal is not input to the freebies discharging solenoid 171, the tension of the spring attached to the spool of the freebies discharging solenoid 171 is applied to the shirt shaft. 131 is used as a fulcrum and acts on the shaft attachment part of the premium law discharge shutter 141.

Therefore, the claw 151 remains in the prize flow path 41 and remains stopped. This state is indicated by a solid line in the figure.

When the drive signal is not input to the premium law discharging device 101, the prize law in the premium law channel 41 is blocked by the claw 151 and is not discharged from the premium law channel 41.

When a drive signal is input to the premium law discharge solenoid 171, the premium law discharge solenoid 171 is energized and the spool is resisted by the tension force of the spring.
Pull it in the direction of 1. Accordingly, the shaft attachment portion of the premium law discharge shutter 141 is pulled in the direction of the premium law discharge solenoid 171 using the shutter shaft 131 as a fulcrum, and the premium law stopper 161 enters the premium law flow path 41.

The above-mentioned state continues during the time that the premium law discharge solenoid 171 is energized. This state is indicated by a dashed line in the figure.

Before the excitation of the premium law discharge solenoid 171, the premium law flow path 41
The claw 151 that had entered the inside moves back from the inside of the flow path to the outside of the flow path, and the stopper 161, which had retreated to the outside of the flow path 41 before the excitation of the discharge solenoid 171, moves out of the flow path. The operation of entering the flow path is carried out almost simultaneously and instantaneously when the prize discharge solenoid 171 is energized. This is because the moving distance of the spool is short, so the premium act discharge solenoid 171 instantly sucks the spool. In conjunction with the movement of this spool, the Premium Act ejection shutter 1
This is because 41 is swung. Therefore, the Premium Act Stopper 1
61 enters the premium law flow path 41 before the premium law in the premium law flow path 41 starts moving, blocks the path of the premium law 200 at the position where the premium law stopper 161 enters, and prevents the premium law 200 from moving.
Prize laws above 0 are not discharged from the prize law channel 41. On the other hand, since the claw 151 retreats from inside the prize ball channel 41, the prize laws from the prize method below the prize method indicated by 200 in the figure to the prize law indicated by 201 in the figure fall down within the premium method channel 41. be discharged. Thereafter, when the excitation of the Premium Act discharge solenoid 171 is released, each member changes from the state shown by the dashed line to the state shown by the solid line due to the tension of the spring described above, and the Premium Act 200 is moved to the state 201 in the figure.
Return to the position within the time it takes to fall to the position indicated by .

Therefore, the number of balls ejected each time the freebies discharging device 101 is driven is determined by the distance between the claw 151 provided on the freebies discharging shutter 141 and the stopper 161. The number is constant.

The configuration and operation of the premium discharging devices 102 and 103 provided in the premium law channels 42 and 43 are the same as described above, but
They differ in the following two points.

One of these is because the distance from the back of the pachinko machine to the mounting surface of the prize law ejection device for each prize ball flow path is different, so the raised platforms 181, 182 and 183 was used. Another method is to set the distance between the above-mentioned claw and the above-mentioned premium law stopper to be different for each of the premium law discharge devices 101 to 103, and
The number of prize balls ejected by the drive of No. 3 is different for each prize method channel 41 to 43. For example, the Premium Act discharge device 101 (hereinafter referred to as the first
The premium law discharging device 102 (hereinafter referred to as the second discharge device) installed in the premium law flow path 42 discharges ten premium laws by driving the premium law discharge solenoid 171. The solenoid 172 is driven to discharge five prizes, and the premiums discharge device 103 (hereinafter referred to as the third discharge device) attached to the premiums flow path 43 discharges three prizes by driving the premiums discharge solenoid 173. It is set to discharge the law.

In addition, in response to the division of the prize ball channel 4, a prize method proximity switch 12 is attached to each divided prize ball channel.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the control system of this embodiment. As shown in the figure, the electronic control circuit 30 includes an external power supply unit 37
A constant voltage is supplied via a switch 38 from the well-known CPU 31. Mainly ROM 32° RAM 33, etc., input port 34. The output ports 35 and the like are connected to each other via a bus 36 to form a logic control circuit. The input port 34 of the electronic control circuit 30 includes a first winning ball proximity switch 16b, a second winning ball proximity switch 18b to a third winning ball proximity switch 22a, which detect the winning status of winning balls.
and a first premium law microswitch 10 for detecting the supply status of the premium law. An i-prize ball proximity switch 12 and a second prize microswitch 14 for detecting the pending state of ejected prize balls are connected. - The output port 35 of the control circuit 30 is connected to the first, second and third ejection devices 101, 102 and
03 drive unit, the Premium Act discharge solenoid 171.17
2 and 173 are connected to a relay 25 which is connected to the winning ball holding solenoid 24 and the pachinko ball firing motor 26. When the relay 25 receives a stop signal from the electronic control circuit 30, it cuts off the power to the pachinko machine launch motor 26.

Next, the processing in the electronic control circuit 30 will be described with reference to FIG. 6 in the case where the winning status of this embodiment is determined based on the difference in the probability of a pachinko ball hitting a winning position.

Since the lower the above probability is, the more difficult it is for a pachinko ball to win, the lower the above probability is, the larger the number of balls in the prize method will be ejected per winning ball.

In other words, the above probabilities are set in three stages, and the lowest probability (hereinafter P
If you land in a winning position with a probability of 1), you will receive 15 prizes per winning ball, and if you land in a winning position with a medium probability (hereinafter referred to as Pm), you will receive 13 prizes per winning ball. is ejected, and if the ball wins at the winning position with the highest probability (hereinafter referred to as Pn), 10 prizes are ejected for each winning ball.

The winning position of Pl is set as the winning position 16, and the winning situation is detected by the first winning ball proximity switch 16b. The winning position of Pm is set as the winning position 18, and the winning situation is detected by the second winning ball proximity switch 18b. The winning position of pn is set as winning position 20 and detected by the third winning ball proximity switch 22a.

When the electronic control circuit 30 is supplied with a constant voltage power supply (step 'too), it sets a counter for the number of winning balls (described later) to O, performs initial processing of various actuators and flags (step 110), and then performs the above-mentioned process. A self-check of each winning ball proximity switch is performed (step 120). Self-check result 1st. If any one of the second and third winning ball proximity switches 16b, 18b, and 22a is abnormal, it is determined that the game of the pachinko machine cannot be started or continued, and the process moves to trouble processing described later.

If there is no abnormality in all of the winning ball proximity switches, the process moves to the next step (step 130). 1st. Second and third winning ball proximity switches 16b, 18b and 22a
First, the number of winning balls that have passed is counted up in a counter assigned to a predetermined address in the RAM 33 (step 140). In step 150, it is determined whether or not there is a winning prize based on the content of the counter value (step 150).
If the counter value is 0, the process is returned to the step controller 20, and if the counter value is other than 0, the process proceeds to the next process.In step 160, the number of winning positions with the probability and in what order is determined by the number of the counter values. The winning situation of this embodiment is determined as to whether or not the winning balls will win, and calculations regarding the number of prize balls to be ejected are executed according to this winning situation.For example, as an example of the above entered winning situation, if the counter value n. When the winning situation is such that the number of winning balls is , the arrangement of the number of prize balls to be ejected according to the individual probabilities is calculated according to this probability arrangement [1] (step 160).In the next step 170, the above-mentioned Calculations regarding the prize ejection device to be driven according to the arrangement [2] of the number of prize balls are performed.The number of prize balls ejected according to the arrangement [2] of the number of prize balls is determined by the three Convert to the combination of prize balls ejected by the prize law discharging device.The sequence of the combination of prize balls that is the result of the conversion is as follows.(10+5) is the combination of 15 prize balls to 10 and 5. Next, the prize method discharge solenoids 171, 1 of the first, second and third discharge devices are driven based on the above combination arrangement of prize balls [3].
The sequence of combinations 72 and 173 is calculated. The result of this calculation is (171+173), (171)...(171
)...[4]. (171+172) indicates that the premium method discharge solenoids 171 and 172 of the first and second discharge devices are driven simultaneously (step 170). In the next step 180, the supply status of prize balls is determined before the prize balls are discharged. In other words, if it is determined that the prize balls are not being replenished by either the first prize ball microswitch 10 or the prize law proximity switch 12 attached to each divided prize ball flow path, the process shifts to trouble processing described later. . On the other hand, if there is no abnormality in the supply status of prize balls, the process proceeds to the next step (step 180). Next, the second prize ball microswitch 14 detects whether the ejected prize balls are overflowing from the lower part to the upper part of the passage space 6, and if the above-mentioned overflow is recognized, the process moves to trouble processing described later.

On the other hand, if there is no abnormality in the condition of the prize balls in the passage space 6, the process moves to the next step (step 190). In step 200, a drive signal is output for a predetermined period of time to the premium law discharge solenoid of the combination represented by the front row element of the combination array [4] of the prize law discharge solenoids calculated in step 170, and the number of balls calculated in step 160 is of prize balls are ejected. Thereafter, in step 140, the incremented counter value n is subtracted to n-1, and each sequence [1], [2] shown in steps 16O and 170.

The front row elements of [3] and [4] are decremented,
The process returns to step 120.

In other words, drive signals are simultaneously output to the premium discharging solenoids 171 and 172, and the first and second discharging devices
After a total of 15 prize balls (0 and 5) have been ejected, the counter value is set to n-1, and the sequence [4] of combinations of prize ejection solenoids calculated in step 170 is as follows. will be updated.

The same holds true for the other sequences [1], [2], and [3] (step 200).

The processes from step 120 to step 200 are repeatedly executed until the counter value n becomes O. On the other hand, if m new pachinko balls win before the counter value n reaches O, m is added to the counter value before the new winning balls were detected, and Afterwards, m elements are added and updated and the process continues.

When a trouble is detected in step 130, a drive signal is output to the winning ball holding solenoid 24, the winning ball ejection path 22 is closed, and the third winning ball proximity switch 2
Misdetection of winning balls by 2a is prevented. A stop signal is output to the relay 25 connected to the firing motor 26 and the prize discharge solenoids 171 to 173, and the game is interrupted. The above-mentioned trouble is displayed to a pachinko parlor clerk (hereinafter referred to as an operator) using an indicator lamp (not shown) or the like, and the operator is prompted to take action on the abnormal winning ball proximity switch (step 210). In response to this, the operator inputs a reset signal indicating that the trouble has been resolved to the electronic control circuit 30 (not shown). When this reset signal is input to the electronic control circuit 30, the output of the drive signal and stop signal is stopped. Then, the process moves to step 140 (step 220).

If a trouble is detected in step 180 or step 190, a stop signal is output to the relay 25 connected to the firing motor 26 and the prize discharge solenoids 171 to 173, and the game is interrupted. The above-mentioned trouble is displayed to the operator using an indicator lamp (not shown), etc., and the operator is prompted to deal with the above-mentioned abnormal condition (step 230).
). In response to this, the operator inputs a reset signal indicating that the trouble has been resolved to the electronic control circuit (not shown).

When this reset signal is input to the electronic control circuit 30,
The output of the stop signal is stopped and the process moves to step 200 (step 240).

Note that even if the above-mentioned trouble occurs during the game, the calculation results of each step will not be lost.

As explained above, it is possible to dispense a number of prize balls according to the winning situation represented by the difference in winning probability and the winning order.

The winning situation is not limited to the above cases, and the number of prize balls ejected per drive signal is not limited to the above cases, so a winning situation that attracts the attention of the player is set, and various winning situations that have been set are set. It is possible to eject prize balls with a varying number of balls depending on the number of balls.

In addition, by changing the distance between the claw 151 and the prize ball stopper 161 and controlling the drive by combining an appropriate prize discharge device according to the prize law, the number of prize balls discharged per winning ball can be varied. It is also possible to follow the change in the upper limit value of the prize ball due to the amendment.

In addition, in this example, since the Premium Act discharging device was installed directly in the prize ball flow path, the structure of the part related to the Premium Act discharging device can be simplified, the reliability of the Premium Act discharging device is improved, and the prize ball discharging device is The discharge is also carried out smoothly. Furthermore, all the prize balls in the prize ball storage tank can be discharged at once by keeping both the claw provided on the prize method discharge shutter and the prize ball stopper stationary so that they do not enter the prize ball flow path.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the process from detecting the winning state to discharging prizes is controlled by an electronic circuit, the number of parts can be reduced.
Not only is it possible to save space for parts installation, making it easier to install parts in the pachinko machine manufacturing process, but there is also no need for fine adjustment of the premiums act ejection device, making it possible to operate quickly.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention includes a plurality of prize ball ejecting means, and the number of prize balls ejected by one drive signal can be set in any manner for each of the prize ball ejecting means. It has become possible to issue flexible prizes for balls.

For example, by driving and controlling the prize ball ejecting means alone or in appropriate combination, it is possible to eject a prize with a varied number of balls depending on various winning situations of winning balls.

On the other hand, by controlling the drive of the prize ball ejecting means alone or in appropriate combination, the number of balls ejected per winning ball in one type of pachinko machine using the present invention is fixed, and the number of balls ejected according to the prize method described above is fixed. It can be used as many types of pachinko machines with different numbers of fixed prize balls.

By controlling the drive of the prize ball ejecting means alone or in appropriate combinations, even if the legal limit on the number of prize balls per winning ball changes, the new method can be used to match the new legal limit. It is also possible to respond to changes in the above legal restrictions without manufacturing pachinko machines.
