Description

Bowling game device {BOWLING GAME MACHINE}

The present invention relates to a bowling game apparatus that throws a ball on a lane in which a plurality of pins are aligned and arranged in front and knocks the pin down by the ball rolling on the lane.

The bowling game device includes: an approach portion as a region in which a player throws a ball, a lane extending from the approach portion, a ball rolled by the thrown portion, and a plurality of pins disposed on an end opposite to the approach portion side of the lane; And gutter-shaped gutters and the like provided on both sides of the lane to accommodate balls falling on the lane, and the player enjoys the game by competing a score determined by the number of pins that have fallen.

By the way, it is needless to say that the number of pins falling is governed by the direction of the thrown ball, in other words, where the ball fits in the group of placed pins, and the score goes up or down due to the good or bad control of the ball. .

For this reason, in the case of physically undeveloped children who cannot control and throw the ball well, high scores cannot be expected, as well as the case in which the ball falls only to the gutter and the pin cannot be knocked down. In this case, the interest in the game is broken, and the family game for the purpose of family unity cannot be enjoyed.

Therefore, conventionally, the gutter prevention apparatus for preventing a ball from falling into a gutter is proposed variously. One of them is to arrange a bar member along both sides of the lane, and between the stop position for preventing the ball from falling into the gutter in the vicinity of the boundary between the gutter and the lane, and the retracted position evacuated from the stop position to the gutter side. And an apparatus configured to move the bar member in parallel in the horizontal direction (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-155424, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-84923 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-164931).

In this gutter prevention apparatus, when the person who cannot control the ball, such as a child, throws, the said bar member is moved to the said stop position, On the other hand, when the adult who has developed a body size than a child throws, The bar member is moved to the retracted position.

In this way, even when a ball thrown by a person, such as a child, whose pitching direction is not determined is rolled toward the gutter, the ball is prevented from falling into the gutter by the member disposed at the jersey position and held on the lane. Collides with the pin and falls. In other words, even a child can knock down the pin and surely score.

On the other hand, when an adult plays, even when the bar member is arrange | positioned at a retreat position and the thrown ball faces a gutter, this is not prevented and a ball falls to a gutter as it is. That is, it is possible to play the same game as a conventional bowling game device without the gutter preventing device.

In this way, by using the gutter preventing device, even a child can always knock down the pin to raise the score, so that the interest in the game can be maintained correspondingly. Moreover, it is also possible to play in the same lane as an adult, and in this sense, it can enjoy the game between families for the purpose of family unity.

Moreover, in addition to the above, it is comprised so that the said bar member may be moved in parallel in the vertical direction between the said stop position and the retracted position of the position retracted downward from this stop position (JP-A-10-151235 and Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2002-65933), or one configured to rotate the gutter to the lane side about an axis along the longitudinal direction of the lane (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-506031), all of which are identical to the above apparatus. Play a role.

[Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-155424]

[Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-84923]

[Patent Document 3: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-164931]

[Patent Document 4: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-151235]

[Patent Document 5: Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2002-65933]

[Patent Document 6: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-506031]

However, in the conventional anti-gutter device, it is seen that the ball thrown by the self is prevented from falling into the gutter by the bar member or the like, so that the children can recognize that the pin could be knocked down by the gutter prevention device, not their own ability. As a result, there is a problem in that they lose their interest or willingness to bowl and cannot fully enjoy the game between their families.

This invention is made | formed in view of the above situation, Comprising: It aims at providing the bowling game apparatus which can be prevented from falling to a gutter without being recognized by a player.

[Means for solving the problem]

According to an aspect of the present invention,

A ball thrown by the player, an approach portion as an area in which the player throws the ball, a lane extending from the approach portion, the lane rolled by the ball thrown by the player, and a stage opposite to the approach portion side of the lane; A bowling game device comprising: a plurality of pins aligned and arranged on a float; and gutter-shaped gutters provided on both sides of the lane and accommodating balls falling on the lane;

A plurality of first permanent magnets are embedded in the ball so that the polarities on the surface side thereof are the same.

It relates to a bowling game device, characterized by further comprising a moving direction change mechanism for applying a magnetic force to the first permanent magnet in the ball rolling the lane image to attract or repel it to prevent the ball from falling into the gutter. .

According to this bowling game device, when a player throws a ball embedded with a plurality of first permanent magnets, the magnetic force of the movement direction change mechanism acts on the first permanent magnet, and the first permanent magnet is attracted or repulsed. While falling to the gutter, the lane is rolled toward the pin group and hit the pin.

In addition, since the magnetic force of the moving direction change mechanism is not seen, the player does not recognize that the ball is prevented from falling into the gutter by the magnetic force. You can think.

In this way, according to the bowling game apparatus according to the present invention, even children who cannot throw the ball by determining the pitch direction can be surely scored by knocking down the pins, and at the same time, they can be mistaken that the bowling skill has increased. Therefore, we can enjoy family game cheerfully without losing interest in game.

The plurality of second permanent magnets are embedded in the center of the lane along the longitudinal direction of the lane, and the polarity of the lane surface side is opposite to the polarity of the ball surface side of the first permanent magnet. Or a plurality of electromagnets, each of which is provided in place of the second permanent magnet and whose polarity on the lane surface side is opposite to the polarity on the ball surface side of the first permanent magnet, and supplies electric power to the respective electromagnets. It may be constituted by a power supply means to wear a magnet.

In this case, since the second permanent magnet and the electromagnet embedded in the lane attract the first permanent magnet in the ball and move the ball toward the center of the lane, the ball is rolled toward the pin group side without falling into the gutter.

Further, the bowling game device includes position detecting means for detecting a ball position in the lane width direction at each position detecting position corresponding to each of the electromagnets and set on the approach portion side, and by the position detecting means. On the basis of the ball position at each position detection position which is sequentially detected, it is checked whether or not the ball is located in a predetermined lane end region, and when it is determined that the ball is located, electric power is supplied to the electromagnet corresponding to the position detection position and fixed. The apparatus may further include control means for controlling the power supply means so as to have a time magnetism.

In this way, whether or not the ball is located in the lane end region (i.e., rolling in the lane end region) is confirmed based on the ball position at each position detection position which is sequentially detected by the position detecting means. In the case where it is judged to be located, the electromagnet is magnetized, so that, for example, it is possible to effectively prevent the problem that the direction of movement of the ball rolling in the center portion of the lane is changed by the magnetic force of the electromagnet.

The bowling game apparatus further includes detecting means for detecting a ball position in the lane width direction, a moving speed of the ball, and a moving direction of the ball on the approach side more than an electromagnet closest to the approach part side; Estimating a moving path of the ball based on the ball position and the ball moving direction detected by the detecting means, and checking whether the ball moves within a predetermined lane end region based on the estimated moving path, Determines an electromagnet to be magnetized, and supplies electric power to the electromagnet at a timing at which the ball passes through an area in which the determined magnetic force acts on the basis of the ball velocity detected by the detection means, for a predetermined time. It may be configured to further include control means for controlling the power supply means to be magnetic.

In this way, the position, the movement speed, and the movement direction in the lane width direction of the ball rolling the lane image are detected by the detection means, and the detection ball position, the detection ball movement direction and the detection ball are detected by the control means. The power supply means is controlled based on the speed. In addition, the ball movement direction can detect a ball position in any two points, respectively, for example, and can detect it based on the detected each ball position and the distance between the said two points.

That is, after the ball movement path is estimated based on the detection ball position and the detection ball movement direction, and based on the estimated movement path, it is checked whether the ball moves in the lane end region, and after determining the electromagnet to be magnetized, The determined electromagnet is magnetic in accordance with the timing at which the ball passes based on the detection ball speed.

For example, if it is confirmed by the estimated movement path that the ball moves (intrudes) into the lane end region at a position near the third electromagnet arranged on the approach side, the third electromagnet is magnetized. In addition, if necessary, the second or fourth electromagnets are also magnetized, whereby movement (intrusion) of the ball into the lane end region is prevented. Thus, even in this manner, as described above, the magnetic force of the electromagnet can be applied to the first permanent magnet in the ball only when necessary.

Further, the movement direction change mechanism is provided along both sides of the lane along the longitudinal direction, or is buried along the longitudinal direction at both ends of the lane to face the ball (lane side or lane surface side). Is composed of a plurality of second permanent magnets whose polarity is equal to the polarity of the ball surface side of the first permanent magnets, or is provided in place of the second permanent magnets and similarly faces the ball (lane side) Or a plurality of electromagnets in which the polarity of the lane surface side) is the same as the polarity of the ball surface side of the first permanent magnet, and power supply means for supplying electric power to the respective electromagnets to cause magnetism.

In this way, since the second permanent magnet or the electromagnet provided at the outer side or the end of the lane repels the first permanent magnet in the ball and moves the ball toward the center of the lane, the ball is prevented from falling into the gutter. In addition, even if each 2nd permanent magnet or an electromagnet is arrange | positioned so that it may cross | intersect with each other along the lane longitudinal direction, or arrange | positioned in the same position of the lane longitudinal direction as one set, multiple sets may be formed along the said longitudinal direction. do.

Further, the bowling game device includes position detecting means for detecting a ball position in the lane width direction at each position detecting position corresponding to each of the electromagnets and set on the approach portion side, and by the position detecting means. On the basis of the ball position at each position detection position detected in turn, it is checked whether or not the ball is located in a preset lane end region on the side where the electromagnet corresponding to the position detection position is installed, The apparatus may further include control means for controlling the electric power supply means to supply electric power to the electromagnet to be magnetized for a predetermined time.

In this case, it is confirmed whether or not the ball is located within the lane end area on the electromagnet installation side based on the ball position at each position detection position that is sequentially detected by the position detecting means. Since the electromagnet is magnetic, for example, it is possible to effectively prevent a problem such that the ball rolling at the center portion of the lane is moved toward the gutter side by the magnetic force of the electromagnet.

The control means may be configured to change the magnetic force of the electromagnet by adjusting the power supplied to the electromagnet corresponding to the position detection position in accordance with the ball position at each position detection position sequentially detected by the position detection means. The ball may be guided toward a predetermined portion of the pin group to control the power supply means.

In this case, the power supply to the electromagnet corresponding to the position detection position is adjusted according to the ball position at each position detection position sequentially detected by the position detection means, and thus the magnetic force of the electromagnet is changed. As for the rolling ball, the position in the lane width direction is controlled by the magnetic force of the adjusted electromagnet, and a predetermined part of the group of pins (the first pitch is toward the center of the pin group, the second pitch is the first pitch) To the pin that failed to fall).

For example, when the ball rolls the lane end and moves the ball near the center of the lane, the electric power supplied to the electromagnet on the end side becomes high, and the magnetic force of the electromagnet increases, and the ball rolls the lane end side as it is. In this case, the electric power supplied to each electromagnet becomes 0 (that is, the supply of electric power is stopped), the magnetic force of the electromagnet becomes zero, or the ball is moving near the center of the lane, and the ball is moved to the lane end side. When moving, the power supplied to the electromagnet on the opposite side to the moving direction becomes high, and the magnetic force of the electromagnet increases, or when the ball is rolled around the center of the lane as it is, the power supplied to each electromagnet becomes 0. The magnetic force of the electromagnet becomes zero.

As the ball is guided in this manner, the children can necessarily knock down many pins, and in some cases, can deal with strikes and spares. In addition, even if a child and an adult play in the same lane, the children can achieve high scores equally to the adult, so that the game between the families can be competing with each other as equal players without losing interest in the game.

The bowling game device may further include: detection means for detecting a ball position in the lane width direction, a moving speed of the ball, and a moving direction of the ball on the approach side more than an electromagnet closest to the approach part side; Estimating a moving path of the ball based on the ball position and the ball moving direction detected by the detecting means, and checking whether the ball moves within a predetermined lane end region based on the estimated moving path, Determines an electromagnet to be magnetized, and supplies electric power to the electromagnet at a timing at which the ball passes through a region in which the determined magnetic force acts on the basis of the ball velocity detected by the detecting means, for a predetermined time. It may be configured to further include control means for controlling the power supply means to be magnetic.

In this way, the position in the lane width direction, the movement speed, and the movement direction of the ball rolling the lane image are detected by the detection means, and the power supply means is controlled by the control means, that is, the detection ball position. And a moving path of the ball is estimated based on the detection ball moving direction, and based on the estimated moving path, whether the ball moves in the lane end region is determined, and after determining an electromagnet to be magnetized, the detection ball speed is determined. Based on the timing at which the ball passes on the basis, the determined electromagnet is magnetic. Therefore, as in the above, the electromagnet can be magnetized only when necessary.

Further, the control means estimates the movement path of the ball based on the ball position and the ball movement direction detected by the detection means, and based on the estimated movement path, the actual movement path determines a predetermined portion of the pin group. Determining the electromagnet to be magnetized and its magnetic force so as to be a path headed, and according to the timing at which the ball passes through an area in which the magnetic force of the determined electromagnet acts based on the ball speed detected by the detecting means, The electric power supply means may be configured to control an electromagnet to supply electric power according to the determined magnetic force.

In this way, the moving path of the ball is estimated based on the detection ball position and the detection ball moving direction, and on the basis of the estimated moving path, an electromagnet to be magnetized so that the actual moving path is a path toward a predetermined portion of the pin group; After the magnetic force is determined, the determined electromagnet magnetizes in accordance with the timing at which the ball passes based on the detection ball speed, and the determined magnetic force acts on the first permanent magnet in the ball, so that the same effects as described above can be obtained. Can be.

In addition, the movement direction changing mechanism is provided opposite to both outer sides of the lane, two second permanent magnets in which the polarity of the lane side is the same as the polarity of the ball surface side of the first permanent magnet, Drive means for supporting each of the second permanent magnets and moving in the lane length direction, and the bowling game device further includes the ball on the approach portion side than the movable range of the second permanent magnets. A speed detecting means for detecting a moving speed and each of the second permanent magnets following the movement of the ball to move from the approach portion side to the pin group side at a speed corresponding to the ball speed detected by the speed detecting means. The control means for controlling the drive means may be provided.

In this way, when the player throws the ball on the lane and rolls it on the pin group side, the moving speed of the ball is detected by the speed detecting means, and the driving means is controlled by the control means, and each second The permanent magnet is moved in accordance with the movement of the ball from the approach portion side to the pin group side in the lane length direction at a speed corresponding to the detection ball speed.

Accordingly, the magnetic force (repulsive force) of the second permanent magnet is always applied to the first permanent magnet in the ball rolling the lane, and the ball is moved toward the center of the lane so that the ball gutters more reliably. You can prevent falling on.

In this case, the moving direction changing mechanism is provided in place of the second permanent magnet, and similarly two electromagnets in which the polarity of the lane side is the same as the polarity of the ball surface side of the first permanent magnet. And power supply means for supplying electric power to each of said electromagnets to cause magnetism, and drive means for supporting said electromagnets respectively and moving in the lane length direction, said control means being characterized by said speed detecting means. At the same time, the driving means is controlled to move the respective electromagnets following the movement of the ball from the approach portion side to the pin group side at a speed corresponding to the detected ball speed, and during the movement of the electromagnets. The electric power supply means may be controlled so as to supply electric power to the magnet and to be magnetically continuously or intermittently. .

In this way, during the movement of each electromagnet, power is supplied to each electromagnet from the power supply means under control by the control means, and each electromagnet continuously or intermittently magnetizes and repels the first permanent magnet in the ball. do. Thus, as above, the ball on the lane is effectively prevented from falling into the gutter. In addition, it is preferable to continuously magnetize the magnet, since the falling of the ball to the gutter can be prevented more reliably than in the case of the intermittent magnetization.

The bowling game device further includes position detecting means for detecting a ball position in the lane width direction at each of the position detection positions set in the lane length direction, wherein the control means detects the position. On the basis of the ball position at each position detection position sequentially detected by the means, it is checked whether or not the ball is located in the end area on both sides of the preset lane, and if it is determined that it is located, at least the lane end where the ball is located. The power supply means may be controlled so as to supply electric power to the electromagnet on the region side to be magnetized for a predetermined time.

In this way, based on the ball position at each position detection position which is sequentially detected by the position detection means, it is confirmed whether the ball is located in the end area of both lanes, and when it is determined that it is located, at least the ball is Since the electromagnet on the side of the lane end region located is magnetic, the problem that the ball, for example, rolling the center portion of the lane, is moved toward the gutter side by the magnetic force of the electromagnet in the same manner as described above is effectively prevented.

Moreover, the said control means adjusts the power supply to each said electromagnet according to the ball position in each position detection position detected by the said position detection means, and changes the magnetic force of the said electromagnet, The power supply means may be controlled to guide the predetermined portion of the pin group.

In this case, since the power supply to each electromagnet is adjusted and the magnetic force of each electromagnet is changed according to the ball position at each position detection position which is sequentially detected by the position detection means, the ball rolling the lane image is In the same manner, the rolling is performed while being directed toward a predetermined portion of the pin group by the magnetic force of the adjusted electromagnet.

For example, when the ball is rolling the end of the lane, and the ball is moved near the center of the lane, the power supplied to the electromagnet on the end side is increased to increase the magnetic force of the electromagnet, and the power supplied to the other electromagnet is increased. If the magnetic force of the electromagnet becomes zero (i.e., the supply of electric power is stopped) or the ball rolls the lane end side as it is, the power supplied to each electromagnet becomes zero, and the magnetic force of the electromagnet When this becomes zero or the ball is moving near the center of the lane, and when the ball is moved to the lane end side, the power supplied to the electromagnet on the opposite side to the moving direction becomes high, and the magnetic force of the electromagnet increases, while the other side When the power supplied to the electromagnet is zero and the magnetic force of the electromagnet becomes zero, or the ball is rolled near the center of the lane as it is, the power supplied to each electromagnet becomes zero. Is 0, the magnetic force of each electromagnet party. Therefore, even in this way, the same effects as described above can be obtained.

The bowling game device further includes detecting means for detecting a ball position in the lane width direction and a moving direction of the ball on the approach portion side than the movable range of the electromagnet, and the control means includes: Estimating a moving path of the ball based on the ball position and the ball moving direction detected by the detecting means, checking whether the ball moves within a predetermined lane end region based on the estimated moving path, The section to be magnetized in the direction of movement of each of the electromagnets, and an electromagnet to be magnetized, and while the determined electromagnet passes through the determined section, the electric power is supplied to the electromagnet to magnetize the electric power. It may be comprised so that a supply means may be controlled.

In this way, the detection means detects the position, the movement speed, and the movement direction in the lane width direction of the ball rolling the lane image, and the power supply means is controlled by the control means to control the power to each electromagnet. The supply is controlled.

That is, the movement path of the ball is estimated on the basis of the detection ball position and the detection ball movement direction, and based on the estimated movement path, it is checked whether the ball moves in the lane end region, and the section to be magnetized and the magnetism are selected. After the electromagnet to be engraved (which electromagnet is magnetized) is determined, the electromagnet becomes magnetic while the determined electromagnet passes through the determined section. Thereby, the same effect as above is exhibited.

Further, the control means estimates the movement path of the ball based on the ball position and the ball movement direction detected by the detection means, and based on the estimated movement path, the actual movement path is a predetermined portion of the pin group. In the moving direction of each electromagnet, a section to be magnetized, an electromagnet to be magnetized, and the magnetic force thereof are determined so as to be a path toward the electromagnet, and while the determined electromagnet passes through the determined section, The electric power supply means may be controlled to supply electric power according to the determined magnetic force.

In this way, the movement path of the ball is estimated on the basis of the detection ball position and the detection ball movement direction, and on the basis of the estimated movement path, the section to be magnetized so that the actual movement path becomes a path toward a predetermined portion of the pin group. After the electromagnet to be magnetized and its magnetic force are determined, the electromagnet is magnetized while the determined electromagnet passes through the determined section, and the determined magnetic force acts on the first permanent magnet in the ball. The same effect is obtained.

 Moreover, the said movement direction change mechanism is equipped with a plurality of sets of magnetic force action parts which consist of a 1st electromagnet and a 2nd electromagnet, these are embedded in the said lane along the longitudinal direction, or the longitudinal direction in the outer side of the said lane. And a power supply means for supplying electric power to each electromagnet of said direction change means and putting magnetism, and each first electromagnet of said direction change means faces the ball (lane surface). The polarity of the side or lane side is opposite to the polarity of the ball surface side of the first permanent magnet, and each of the second electromagnets has the polarity of the side (lane surface side or lane side) facing the ball. The bowling game apparatus is configured to be equal to the polarity of the first surface of the first permanent magnet, and the bowling game apparatus further corresponds to the respective magnetic force acting portions. The lane set in advance based on the position detection means which detects the ball position in the said lane width direction, and the ball position in each position detection position sequentially detected by the said position detection means in each position detection position set in the It is checked whether or not the ball is located in the end areas on both sides, and if it is determined that the ball is located, the magnetic force acting portion corresponding to the position detection position of the first electromagnet or the second electromagnet according to the position detection position is located. It may be configured to include control means for controlling the power supply means so as to supply power to one side to be magnetized for a predetermined time.

In this way, when the player throws the ball on the lane and rolls it on the lane, the ball position at each position detection position is sequentially detected by the position detecting means and based on the ball position at the respective position detection position. The power supply means is controlled by the control means, and electric power is supplied to one of the first electromagnet or the second electromagnet of the magnetic force acting portion corresponding to each position detection position.

Specifically, based on the detection ball position, it is checked whether the ball is located in the end regions on both sides of the lane, and when it is determined that the ball is located, the first electromagnet or the second electromagnet according to the lane end region where the ball is located. One side of is magnetic and the ball on the lane is prevented from falling to the gutter.

For example, when the ball rolling on the lane is moved (closed) to the side of the magnetic force acting portion, electric power is supplied to the first electromagnet to suck the first permanent magnet in the ball, and the ball rolling on the lane is applied to the magnetic force action. In the case of moving away from the side, the second electromagnet is supplied with electric power to repel the first permanent magnet in the ball.

The control means may adjust the power supplied to each electromagnet of the magnetic force acting portion corresponding to the position detection position in accordance with the ball position at each position detection position sequentially detected by the position detection means. The power supply means may be controlled so as to guide the ball toward a predetermined portion of the pin group by changing the magnetic force.

In this way, the ball on the lane is the respective electromagnets whose power supply to the first electromagnet and the second electromagnet of the magnetically acting portion is adjusted and changed according to the ball position at each position detection position sequentially detected by the position detecting means. Since it rolls while being guided toward the predetermined part of a pin group by the magnetic force of, the same effect as the above is acquired.

The moving direction changing mechanism includes a plurality of sets of magnetic force acting portions each including a first electromagnet and a second electromagnet, and these are embedded in the lane along the longitudinal direction thereof or in the longitudinal direction outside the lane. And a power supply means for supplying electric power to each electromagnet of said direction change means and applying magnetism, and each first electromagnet of said direction change means faces the ball (lane surface). The polarity of the side or lane side is opposite to the polarity of the ball surface side of the first permanent magnet, and each of the second electromagnets has the polarity of the side (lane surface side or lane side) facing the ball. It is comprised so that it may become the same as the polarity of the said ball surface side of this 1st permanent magnet, and the said bowling game apparatus is more afflict than the magnetic force action part closest to the said approach part side. On the tooth side, detection means for detecting a ball position in the lane width direction, a moving speed of the ball, and a moving direction of the ball, and a ball position and a ball moving direction detected by the detecting means. Estimating the movement path of the ball, checking whether the ball moves within a predetermined lane end region based on the estimated movement path, determining an electromagnet to be magnetized, and detecting the ball by the detecting means A control means for controlling the power supply means to supply electric power to the electromagnet and to be magnetized for a predetermined time in accordance with a timing at which the ball passes through an area in which the determined magnetic force of the electromagnet acts on the basis of the speed; It may be configured.

In this way, the position in the lane width direction, the moving speed, and the moving direction of the ball rolling on the lane are detected by the detection means, and the power supply means is controlled by the control means, that is, the detection ball position. And a moving path of the ball is estimated based on the detection ball moving direction, and based on the estimated moving path, whether or not the ball moves in the lane end region is determined, and after determining an electromagnet to be magnetized, based on the detecting ball speed In accordance with the timing at which the ball passes, the determined electromagnet becomes magnetic. Therefore, the same effect as above can be obtained.

Further, the control means estimates the movement path of the ball based on the ball position and the ball movement direction detected by the detection means, and based on the estimated movement path, the actual movement path is directed to a predetermined portion of the pin group. The electromagnet to be magnetized and its magnetic force are determined so as to be a path, and based on the ball speed detected by the detection means, in accordance with the timing at which the ball passes through the region in which the magnetic force of the determined electromagnet acts, The electric power supply means may be controlled to supply an electromagnet with electric power corresponding to the determined magnetic force.

In this way, the movement path of the ball is estimated based on the position and the movement speed in the lane width direction of the ball detected by the detection means, and the actual movement path is a predetermined portion of the pin group based on the estimated movement path. After the electromagnet to be magnetized and its magnetic force are determined so as to be a path to the direction, the determined electromagnet is magnetized in accordance with the timing at which the ball passes based on the moving speed of the ball detected by the detecting means, and the determined magnetic force Since this acts on the first permanent magnet in the ball, the same effect as described above is exerted.

In addition, in magnetizing the electromagnet, after deciding in which frame during the play the power supply means is operated on the basis of the handicap set according to the skill of the player, the progress of the play is monitored, and the frame corresponding to the play corresponds. When it reaches, it is preferable to provide a control means or to comprise a control means so that electric power may be supplied from the said electric power supply means to the said electromagnet.

To prevent the ball from falling into the gutter or to guide the ball at all times, it is possible to always score a high level regardless of the player's ability, and in this case, the interest in the game is rather diminished. Therefore, as described above, if the frame for operating the power supply means is determined based on the handicap set according to the skill of the player, and only the determined frame is supplied to supply electric power to the electromagnet from the power supply means. It can be said that the virtual skills with the handicap of the liver are opposed to each other, so that each player can play a so-called serious game through the game.

In the case of a bowling game, the score is not simply a sum of the number of pins knocked down in each frame, but the number of consecutive strikes and the number of pins dropped in the first pitch in the frame after the spare is processed. The score fluctuates. Therefore, even if strikes or spares are prevented from falling to the gutter or a frame for guiding the ball, a high score may be obtained depending on the frame state (strike, spare, open frame, etc.) before and after the ball. The score may not rise. In other words, even if the ball is prevented from falling into the gutter or the ball is guided, an uncertainty may not always be obtained. This uncertainty maintains the fun of the bowling game and does not impair the interest of the player. Do not.

[Effects of the Invention]

(The power supply 22) is controlled.

The player information storage section 46 provides information on the player's play order and the like, in addition to the player's information playing in the predetermined lane 3, for example, personal information such as the player's name, gender, age, handicap, and the like. It is a function unit to store, and stores the above-mentioned information input from the external input device 32.

The score calculating section 42 reads the player information from the player information storage section 46, recognizes the play order of each player and its personal information, and receives the data relating to the control from the machine control section 41. Recognizes the progress of the play, and also receives the data related to the conduction state of the pin 5 in each of the play by the pin detection sensor 30, calculates the score for each player at any time, and the data related to the calculated score Is stored in the score storage section 43 together with player information.

By checking the content displayed in (31), the progress of the game and the score of each player are recognized.

The guide execution unit 45 recognizes the handicap of each player stored in the player information storage unit 46 and, based on the recognized handicap, the guide device 20 (power supply 22) in any frame during play. After deciding whether or not to operate the controller, the progress of play is monitored, and when the play reaches the corresponding frame, the guide apparatus 20 is operated to execute a process of guiding the ball b.

Specifically, first, the handicap and play order of each player stored in the player information storage unit 46 are recognized, and the handicap and execution frame stored in the execution information storage unit 47 are based on the recognized handicap of each player. With reference to the data table as shown in Fig. 6 in which the number correlation is determined, it is determined for each player on which frame to perform the guidance process of the ball b on the basis of the obtained number of frames.

In addition, the data table shown in FIG. 6 is input from the input device 32, and is previously stored in the execution information storage 47. FIG. In the determination of the execution frame, for example, some patterns related to the combination of the execution frames may be set in advance according to the number of execution frames, and one pattern may be randomly selected from among them, or a random number may be used. The execution frame may be determined using.

After that, the start of the play is output to the machine control unit 41 so that the player can play the game. Thereafter, the machine control unit 41 receives data relating to control from time to time, and monitors the progress of the play for each player until the end of the game, together with the information related to the play order stored in the player information storage unit 46.

In the execution frame determined as described above, the first sensor string 24a, the second sensor string 24b, the third sensor string 24c, the fourth sensor string 24d, and the fifth sensor string 24e. And the guidance process of the ball b based on the detection signal sequentially obtained from the sixth sensor string 24f. In addition, in the case of the first pitching, the ball b moves toward the center of the group of the pins 5, and in the case of the second pitching, the ball b moves toward the pin 5 which is not knocked down in the first pitching. , Guide the ball (b).

First, the first pitching case will be described. When the detection signal from the 1st and 2nd sensor train 24a, 24b is acquired by the cloud of the ball b, the position detection sensor 24 which comprises the said 1st and 2nd sensor train 24a, 24b. ) Recognizes the position in the lane 3 width direction of the ball b rolling on the lane 3 based on which position detection sensor 24 has detected the ball b, Of the electromagnets 21 constituting the electromagnets 21a, the electromagnet 21 closer to the ball b is recognized. In addition, the position change amount is calculated at each detection ball position in the first sensor string 24a and the second sensor string 24b, and the calculated position change amount and the sensor strings 24a and 24b in the longitudinal direction of the lane 3 are measured. The movement direction of the ball b is calculated on the basis of the distance between them, and the detection time difference between the first sensor string 24a and the second sensor string 24b and the sensor strings 24a and 24b. The moving speed of the ball b is calculated based on the distance.

And based on the recognized position, the calculated movement direction, and the moving speed, the magnet according to this is permanently in the ball b by the electromagnet 21 (first electromagnet 21a) closer to the ball b. The control signal is transmitted to the machine control unit 41 so as to act on the magnet b1, and under the control by the machine control unit 41, an appropriately adjusted electric power is supplied from the power supply 22 to the electromagnet 21 to supply magnetism. Strip.

In addition, electric power is supplied after the ball b passes through the embedding position in the longitudinal direction of the lane 3 of the first electromagnet 21a, and the timing at which the ball b passes through the embedding position. Can be calculated based on the calculated ball b moving speed or the like.

Subsequently, when the detection signal from the 3rd sensor train 24c is acquired by the cloud of the ball b, it is similar to the above based on the detection signal from the said 3rd sensor train 24c, (3) The position of the ball b in the width direction is recognized, and the electromagnet 21 closer to the ball b is recognized among the electromagnets 21 constituting the second electromagnet 21b. Further, the movement direction of the ball b is calculated at each detection ball position in the second sensor string 24b and the third sensor string 24c, and the second sensor string 24b and the third sensor string 24c are also calculated. ), The moving speed of the ball b is calculated from the difference in detection time between them.

And similarly to the case of the 1st electromagnet 21a, based on the recognized position, the calculated movement direction, and the movement speed, the electromagnet 21 according to these is closer to the ball b (the second electromagnet). (21b)) transmits a control signal to the mechanical control unit 41 so as to act on the permanent magnet b1 in the ball b, and supplies the adjusted power from the power supply 22 to the electromagnet 21 to be magnetized. do.

Then, when the detection signal from the sensor train is obtained similarly, the lane 3 is based on the detection signal from the 4th sensor train 24d (or 5th sensor train 24e, the 6th sensor train 24f). Recognizing the position of the ball (b) in the width direction, calculating the ball (b) moving direction and the ball (b) moving speed, and the magnetic force corresponding to these positions, the moving direction, and the moving speed is the third electromagnet ( 21c) (or the permanent magnet of the said ball b by the electromagnet 21 closer to the ball b among the electromagnets 21 which comprise the 4th electromagnet 21d and the 5th electromagnet 21e). In order to act on b1), electric power is supplied from the power supply 22 to the electromagnet 21 to be magnetized.

In this way, after the ball b passes through the embedding position in the lane 3 longitudinal direction of each electromagnet 21, each electromagnet 21 removes magnetism so that the ball of the electromagnet 21 is removed. The magnetic force that repels the permanent magnet b1 in (b) acts from the rear side in the moving direction of the ball b, whereby the ball b moves as shown in FIG. 3 or shown in FIG. The position in the width direction of the lane 3 is controlled so as to move and finally to roll toward the center of the lane 3 width direction (that is, to collide near the center of the group of the pins 5). You are guided through. In addition, the moving speed of the ball b also increases.

In addition, when the ball position detected by each sensor train 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e, 24f is the center position of the lane 3 width direction, each electromagnet 21a, 21b, 21c, 21d, 21e is used. There is no need to be magnetic.

Next, the second pitching case will be described. In addition to the ball b position in the lane 3 width direction and the ball b moving direction and moving speed, information relating to how many pins are left is left. Based on the above, the electric power supplied from the power supply 22 to each electromagnet 21 is adjusted, and the magnetic force applied by the electromagnet 21 to the permanent magnet b1 in the ball b is adjusted to adjust the remaining pin. Guide the ball (b) to move towards (5).

For example, when moving the ball b rolling the edge of the lane 3 near the center of the lane 3, it controls so that a magnetic force may be applied only to the electromagnet 21 of the said edge side, and the lane 3 In the case where the ball b rolling near the center is moved to the gutter 4 side, the magnetic force is controlled to act only on the electromagnet 21 on the end side of the lane 3 on the side opposite to the moving direction, and the ball ( When rolling without changing the position of b), it controls so that a magnetic force may not be applied from each electromagnet 21. FIG.

In addition, as described above, the position detection mechanism 23 and the control device 40 function as position detection means in the claims.

According to the bowling game device 1 of the present example configured as described above, first, in the guide execution unit 45, based on the handicap of the player inputted from the input device 32 and stored in the player information storage unit 46, A frame for guiding the ball b is determined for each player, and after the determination, the game can be played.

The guide execution unit 45 monitors the progress of play for each player, determines whether or not the frame executed by each player is a guide execution frame, and in the case of the execution frame, the guide apparatus 20. (Power supply 22) is operated to magnetize each electromagnet 21, and the magnetic force of each electromagnet 21 is applied to the permanent magnet b1 in the ball b.

Accordingly, even when the ball b thrown on the lane 3 is rolled toward the gutter 4, the gutter (B) is caused by the magnetic force of each electromagnet 21 acting on the inner permanent magnet b1. Before falling to 4), the direction of movement is changed to prevent falling into the gutter 4, and at the same time, the pin 3 is guided to move near the center of the lane 3 width direction (toward the center of the group of the pins 5). 5) It is guided to move toward the pin 5 which has not crashed near the center of the group or has not fallen down in the first pitch and hits the pin 5. In addition, the moving speed of the ball b also increases, and the collision energy at the time of the pin 5 collision is increasing.

In addition, since the magnetic force acting on the permanent magnet b1 in the ball b from each electromagnet 21 is not seen, the player does not recognize that the ball b is prevented from falling into the gutter 4 by the magnetic force. Instead, the ball b is caused to collide with the pins 5 by their own ability, and the pins 5 can be considered to have fallen.

In this way, according to the bowling game device 1 of the present example, the magnetic force of each electromagnet 21 guides the balls b, increases the moving speed of the balls b, and increases the collision energy at the time of collision. Therefore, even children who cannot throw the ball (b) by setting the throwing direction or throw the ball (b) only by a slow restraint can necessarily knock down many pins (5), I can catch a spare. In addition, the children can be mistaken that the skill of bowling has increased, and even if a child and an adult play in the same lane (3), the children can achieve a high score on an equal basis with an adult, without losing interest in the game. You can enjoy the game in a friendly manner while competing with each other as equal players.

Moreover, since the frame which operates the guide apparatus 20 is decided based on the handicap set according to the skill of a player, and only the determined frame is made to operate the guide apparatus 20, the player which added a handicap It is possible to counteract the virtual skills of the liver, and each player can play what is called a real game game through the game.

In the case of a bowling game, the score is not simply a sum of the number of pins dropped in each frame, but the number of consecutive strikes and the number of falling pins in the first pitch in the frame after the spare is taken. The score fluctuates. Therefore, even if a strike or a spare can be caught in the frame for operating the guide device 20, a high score may be obtained depending on the frame state (strike, spare, open frame, etc.) before and after the score. There may be cases where it does not rise. In other words, even if the ball b is guided, an uncertainty that cannot necessarily be obtained with the same result remains, and the uncertainty of the bowling game is maintained and the interest of the player is not impaired.

Moreover, since the magnetic force of the electromagnet 21 is changed according to the position of the ball b in the width direction of the lane 3, the ball b movement direction, and the ball b movement speed, the ball b becomes more effective. It can guide or raise the moving speed of the ball (b) more effectively.

As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, the specific aspect which this invention can employ | adopt is not limited to this.

In the above example, the ball b is guided and rolled toward the pin 5 group side. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the player lanes the ball b while all the electromagnets 21 are magnetic. (3) It may be configured to throw on.

In this case, the ball (b) cannot be guided, but at least the ball (b) rolling on the lane (3) can be prevented from falling into the gutter (4). Even children who cannot throw can surely knock the pin 5 down and score a steady goal. In addition, as to the fact that the children can be mistaken that bowling has increased, the same can be said as above, and the game can be enjoyed in a friendly manner without losing the interest in the game. The same effect can be obtained by providing a permanent magnet having the same polarity on the surface side of the lane 3 as the polarity on the surface side of the ball b of the permanent magnet b1 instead of the electromagnet 21.

Further, the guide execution section 45 is a preset lane 3 end region based on the position of the ball b which is sequentially detected by each of the sensor strings 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e, and 24f. In the case where it is determined that the ball b is located in the inside of the lane 3 end region (whether the ball b is rolling) or not, the sensor rows 24b, 24c, 24d, The power supply 22 may be controlled through the mechanical control unit 41 so as to supply electric power to the electromagnets 21a, 21b, 21c, 21d, and 21e corresponding to 24e and 24f to be magnetized for a predetermined time.

This effectively prevents, for example, the problem that the ball b rolling the center portion of the lane 3 is moved toward the gutter 4 side by the magnetic force of the electromagnet 21. Can be.

In this case, in the guide execution part 45, in checking whether the ball b is located in the lane 3 end area, the ball b is located on which gutter 4 side. You may make sure that only the electromagnet 21 by the side of the gutter 4 which confirmed the ball b among each electromagnet 21 may be magnetized.

In addition, the third sensor string 24c, the fourth sensor string 24d, the fifth sensor string 24e and the sixth sensor string 24f of the position detecting mechanism 23 are configured to be omitted, and the guidance is performed. The execution unit 45 calculates the ball (b) movement direction and the ball (b) movement speed based on the position of the ball (b) detected by the first sensor string 24a and the second sensor string 24b. Then, the moving path of the ball (b) is estimated based on the ball position (b), the moving direction of the ball (b), and the moving speed of the ball (b), and the lane 3 set in advance based on the estimated moving path. It is checked whether the ball b moves in the end region, the electromagnet 21 to be magnetized is determined, and the length of the lane 3 of the determined electromagnet 21 is determined based on the moving speed of the ball b. The power source 22 is controlled through the machine control unit 41 so as to supply electric power to the electromagnet 21 to be magnetized for a predetermined time in accordance with the timing at which the ball b passes through the arrangement position in the direction. May .

For example, in the guide execution part 45, the ball b is the edge part 3 of the lane 3 at the position near the electromagnet 21c arrange | positioned 3rd by the approach part 2 side by the estimated movement path. If it is confirmed to invade the region, the third electromagnet 21c is magnetized, and if necessary, the second electromagnet 21b, the fourth electromagnet 21d and the like are magnetized. This prevents movement (intrusion) into the lane 3 end region of the ball b.

Further, the guide execution section 45, based on the estimated movement path, applies the electromagnet 21 to be magnetized and its magnetic force so that the actual movement path is a path toward a predetermined portion of the group of the pins 5. And the electric power according to the determined magnetic force is supplied to the electromagnet 21 in accordance with the timing at which the ball b passes the arrangement position of the determined electromagnet 21 in the longitudinal direction of the lane 3. It may be configured to.

In the above example, the same position in the length direction of the lane 3 is also set to one pair of electromagnets 21 disposed at both ends of the lane 3 in the width direction, and a plurality of sets are provided in the length direction of the lane 3, but this is not limited thereto. Instead, as shown in Fig. 8, the electromagnet 51 (first electromagnet 51a, the first polarity of which the polarity on the surface side of the lane 3 is the same as the polarity on the surface side of the ball b of the permanent magnet b1) is shown. The 2 electromagnets 51b, the 3rd electromagnet 51c, the 4th electromagnet 51d, the 5th electromagnet 51e, and the 6th electromagnet 51f are arrange | positioned so that they may cross each other along the longitudinal direction of the lane 3 You may. In addition, instead of the electromagnet 51, a permanent magnet in which the polarity on the surface side of the lane 3 is the same as the polarity on the surface side of the ball b of the permanent magnet b1 may be provided.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, the polarity on the surface side of the lanes 3 is the permanent magnet b1 at the same position in the longitudinal direction of each of the electromagnets 21 and the lanes 3 as well as in the central portion of the lanes 3 width direction. The electromagnet 52 which is equal to the polarity on the surface side of the ball b may be embedded. In this case, the position of the ball b detected by the sensor strings 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e, and 24f, etc. Therefore, the electric power supplied from the power supply 22 to each electromagnet 21 and 52 is adjusted, respectively, and the magnetic force of each electromagnet 21 and 52 is adjusted.

In this way, since the distance between the permanent magnet b1 in the ball b rolling on the lane 3 and the electromagnets 21 and 52 can be shortened, the permanent magnet b1 in the ball b is The magnetic force of the electromagnets 21 and 52 can be made to act more effectively, and the ball b can be guided more effectively.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 10, the magnetic force action mechanism (the 1st magnetic force action mechanism in order from the side closer to the approach part 2 side) provided with two sets of electromagnets in the center part of the lane 3 width direction. 53a, 2nd magnetic force action mechanism 53b, 3rd magnetic force action mechanism 53c, 4th magnetic force action mechanism 53d, and 5th magnetic force action mechanism 53e) are plural along the lane 3 longitudinal direction. You may bury it.

Each of the magnetic force action mechanisms 53a, 53b, 53c, 53d, 53e includes the second sensor string 24b, the third sensor string 24c, the fourth sensor string 24d, the fifth sensor string 24e, and the fifth sensor string 24e. Corresponding to the six sensor trains 24f, respectively, they are provided on the lane 3 longitudinal pin 5 group side, and are disposed on the approach part 2 side, and the polarity on the surface of the lane 3 surface is permanent magnet ( The electromagnet 54a which is equal to the polarity of the surface of the ball b of b1) and this electromagnet 54a are arrange | positioned rather than the pin 5 group side, and the polarity of the lane 3 surface side of the permanent magnet b1 An electromagnet 54b which reverses the polarity of the surface of the ball b, that is, the electric power is supplied from the power supply 22 and is removed, attracts the permanent magnet b1 in the ball b.
