1. Game Overview

First, an example of a game played on the game device 1 of this embodiment will be described. The game device 1 can play, for example, a fighting game using game-related emissions (hereinafter also referred to as “recording media”) 100. Specifically, the game device 1 scans the recording medium 100 to obtain information about the character recorded on the recording medium 100 (hereinafter referred to as “character information”). After that, the game device 1 displays the character image on the display unit 6. As a result, the game device 1 can run a competition game in which the character matches the opponent character. After the game ends, a new recording medium 100 is ejected from the game device 1. Additionally, games played on the game device 1 are not limited to the above-mentioned fighting games, and may be role-playing games, board games, simulation games, etc.

2. Recording media (emissions)

The output (recording medium) 100 used in the game device 1 of this embodiment is configured to store identification information such as character information. This discharge 100 is, for example, a plastic card formed in an oval shape as shown in FIG. 2. This discharge 100 has a two-dimensional code 101 on its surface. Identification information such as character information and item information is recorded in this two-dimensional code 101. The two-dimensional code 101 may include QR code (registered trademark) or Zcode (registered trademark). When the two-dimensional code 101 is Zcode, identification information is recorded so that it can be identified in invisible light (infrared rays). Additionally, the discharge 100 is a character discharge and can be distinguished into rare discharge and normal discharge depending on character information. Rare releases are, for example, releases in which characters with rarity above a certain level are recorded. Normal emissions are, for example, emissions in which characters with rarity below a certain level are recorded. Additionally, the discharge 100 may include a memory discharge that stores player (user) information or character information, separately from the character discharge. For example, a memory device is an IC card (Integrated Circuit Card) that stores user-related information.

3. Gaming devices

Next, the gaming device will be described. The game device 1 of this embodiment includes two game devices (a first sub-game device 1A and a second sub-game device 1B) installed adjacent to each other as shown in FIG. 1. This game device (1) has one display unit (6) and is controlled by one control unit (8). Therefore, the overall size of the gaming device 1 can be miniaturized. Accordingly, the overall cost of the gaming device 1 can be reduced. The game device 1 of this embodiment is not limited to a configuration in which two game devices are installed adjacent to each other (2 in 1 configuration). The game device 1 may have a configuration in which, for example, three or more game devices are installed adjacent to each other. Additionally, the game device 1 of the present invention may be configured as a single game device.

At first glance, the game device 1 of this embodiment appears to be two game devices arranged adjacent to each other. However, the game device 1 consists of these two game devices connected to form one game device 1. Therefore, each player (user) can play on each sub-game device, and can also cooperate to play one game (cooperative play). This game device 1 includes a case 2, an operation unit 3, a reading unit 4, a speaker 5, a display unit 6, and a storage unit 7, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 7. ), a control unit (8), a communication unit (9), and a discharge mechanism (10). Below, the configuration of each part will be described.

In addition, the case 2, the operation unit 3, the reading unit 4, and the speaker 5 of the game device 1 include a sub case 2A for the first sub game device 1A and a first sub operation unit 3A. , a sub-reading unit 4A and a sub-speaker 5A, and a sub-case 2B for the second sub-game device 1B, a second sub-operating unit 3B, a sub-reading unit 4B, and a sub-speaker 5B. Same as Therefore, below, only each part of the game device 1 will be described representatively.

＜Case＞

The case 2 has the function of installing or storing each member of the game device 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the case 2 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, but is not limited to this. Case 2 may be composed of a single case (twin case) or may be composed of sub cases for each sub game device connected. Additionally, an outlet 21 for the discharged material 100, a coin inlet 22, and a coin return port 23 are installed on the front of the case 2. From the discharge port 21, the discharged matter 100 discharged from the discharge mechanism 10 described later is discharged.

＜Control panel＞

The control unit 3 has a function of receiving operation input performed by the player to run the game. The operating unit 3 consists of four push buttons 31 and two rectangular operating fields 32. The push button 31 is installed symmetrically left and right on the front side of the upper surface of the case 2. The operating field 32 is installed inside the push button 31 on the upper surface of the case 2. The shape and position of the operating field 32 are not particularly limited, and may be rod-shaped or circular, respectively, and may be positioned between the push buttons 31 or in front of the push buttons 31. This operation field 32 is a field where the player can place and move the discharge 100. The operating field 32 is configured so that the reading unit 4, which will be described later, can read the discharged material 100.

The operation unit 3 includes a first sub-operation unit (first operation unit) 3A for the first sub-game device 1A, and a second sub-operation unit (second operation unit) 3B for the second sub-game device 1B. Includes. The first sub-manipulation unit 3A and the second sub-manipulation unit 3B can be operated independently and can simultaneously receive different manipulation inputs. Accordingly, operations can be performed separately on the first sub-game device 1A and the second sub-game device 1B.

＜Reading section＞

The reading unit 4 has a function of reading information on the discharge 100 installed on the operating field 32. The reading unit 4 is installed inside the case 2 and below the operating field 32. This reading unit 4 is composed of, for example, an imaging device (camera) and an infrared light source. The infrared light source of the reading unit 4 radiates infrared rays to the two-dimensional code 101 of the discharge 100 from below the operating field 32. In this state, the imaging device can read the information recorded in the two-dimensional code 101 of the discharge 100 by capturing the image of the two-dimensional code 101 of the discharge 100. Additionally, the reading unit 4 may be placed anywhere within the case 2 as long as the imaging device can capture the operating field 32. Additionally, the reading unit 4 may be comprised solely of an imaging device.

＜Speaker＞

The speaker 5 has the function of outputting various sounds. The speaker 5 is installed below the display unit 6 inside the upper surface of the case 2. The number of speakers 5 is not particularly limited, and may be one or two or more speakers. In this embodiment, two speakers 5 are installed on both sides inside the upper surface of the case 2 corresponding to each sub-game device. The sound output by the speaker 5 includes music or sound effects stored in the memory unit 7.

＜Display＞

The display unit 6 has a function of displaying game images (predetermined images). The display unit 6 is installed on the speaker 5 on the upper surface of the case 2, as shown in FIG. 1. The display unit 6 is composed of a single display panel, but may be a touch panel. Additionally, the display portion 6 is formed in a square shape as shown in FIG. 1, but it is not limited to this and may be formed in a circular or triangular shape.

The display unit 6 has a full screen area 61 that displays a game image, and a frame 62 surrounding the full screen area 61. The entire screen area 61 includes an individual area 611 and a partition area 612. The full screen area 61 has the function of displaying a game image on the entire display unit 6, as shown in FIG. 5. When the player of the first sub-game device 1A and the player of the second sub-game device 1B play cooperatively or competitively, a game image is displayed in the entire screen area 61.

The individual area 611 is an area (first area, i.e. first screen section) 611A displaying game images for the first sub-game device 1A, and displaying game images for the second sub-game device 1B. and an area (second area, i.e., second screen section) 611B. These areas 611A and 611B are configured with the same area through the partition area 612 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6. This can make it appear to the player at first glance that there are two gaming devices. However, the area of one area may be smaller than the area of the other area. For example, when a competitive game is played, if the area 611A for the first sub-game device 1A is large, the game image for the first sub-game device 1A is displayed large. Accordingly, the impression can be given to the player that the player of the first sub game device 1A is superior.

The first area 611A is provided corresponding to the first sub-operation unit 3A of the first sub-game device 1A. The first area 611A is formed in a rectangular shape, but is not limited thereto. The second area 611B is provided corresponding to the second sub-operation unit 3B of the second sub-game device 1B. The second area 611B is formed in a rectangular shape, but is not limited thereto. The first area 611A may display the same image as the image displayed in the second area 611B, or may display a different image. Additionally, the first area 611A and the second area 611B can each independently display images.

The partition area (third area, ie, third screen section) 612 has the function of dividing the first area 611A and the second area 611B. Accordingly, the partition area 612 is installed between the first area 611A and the second area 611B. The shape of the partition area 612 is not particularly limited, and may be a long shape (FIG. 4), a rectangular shape, or a substantially trapezoidal shape (FIG. 6). The area of the partition area 612 is not particularly limited and may be larger or smaller than the area of the first area 611A or the second area 611B. The partition area 612 may be further divided into a plurality of areas.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the partition area 612 may be divided along its short longitudinal direction to have two partition areas. That is, the partition area 612 may have a first partition area 612A for the first area 611A and a second partition area 612B for the second area 611B. Additionally, as shown in FIG. 6, the partition area 612 may have two partition areas divided along its longitudinal direction. That is, the partition area 612 may have a third partition area 612C for game images and a fourth partition area 612D for text images. With this configuration, it is possible to display a plurality of images and different images in the partition area 612.

The frame 62 is installed on the speaker 5. The frame 62 is formed in a rectangular shape, but is not limited thereto. For example, the frame 62 may be formed in any shape, such as a circular shape or an oval shape. The frame 62 has a joint portion 621 formed concavely inward at the center of the long side. The border body is formed left-right symmetrically by this joint portion 621. Accordingly, the display unit 6 can be displayed as two display units, such as the sub display unit 6A for the first sub game device 1A and the sub display unit 6B for the second sub game device 1B.

The frame 62 may include a first frame member 62A for the first sub-game device 1A, and a second frame member 62B for the second sub-game device 1B. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the first frame member 62A and the second frame member 62B are formed in an approximately “C” shape. And one end and the other end of the first frame member 62A contact one end and the other end of the second frame member 62B, respectively, to form a joint portion 621. Through this configuration, the first frame member 62A and the second frame member 62B are arranged left and right symmetrically around the joint portion 621. Therefore, the display unit 6 can be displayed as two display units.

As shown in FIG. 4, one end and the other end of the first frame member 62A are installed opposite to each other. Accordingly, an image (partition image) identical to the appearance of the short side of the frame 62 can be displayed in the first partition area 612A from one end to the other end. As a result, an annular frame member (first frame member 62A) can be formed as a partition image of the first frame member 62A. In other words, the partition image appears to be formed integrally with the first frame member 62A. Therefore, it is possible to make the player recognize that the display unit 6 has a separate sub-display unit 6A.

Meanwhile, one end and the other end of the second frame member 62B are installed opposite to each other. Accordingly, an image (partition image) identical to the appearance of the short side of the frame 62 can be displayed in the second partition area 612B from one end to the other end. As a result, an annular frame member (second frame member 62B) can be formed in the image of the second frame member 62B and the partition. In other words, the partition image appears to be formed integrally with the second frame member 62B. Therefore, it is possible to make the player recognize that the display unit 6 has a separate sub-display unit 6B.

In this way, the first frame member 62A and the partition image constitute the frame body 62 for the first sub-game device 1A. Additionally, the second frame member 62B and the partition image constitute the frame body 62 for the second sub-game device 1B. Because of this, one frame body 62 can be divided into two frame members 62A and 62B, and although it is one game device 1, the player can be given the impression that there are two game devices. And the first frame member 62A (first area 611A) and the first sub-operation unit 3A, and the second frame member 62B (second area 611B) and the second sub-operation unit 3B. The partition image is arranged left and right symmetrically around the central axis. This can further give the player the impression that there are two gaming devices.

＜Memory section＞

Next, the memory unit 7 will be explained. The storage unit 7 stores game programs and game data. The game program is a program for executing a game on the game device 1 and is realized through cooperation with hardware. Additionally, game data is data related to games and includes character data, music data, image data, sound effect data, etc.

Character data is data such as the character's name, special move, weapon, strength, rarity, and image. That is, the character data corresponds to the above-described character information and is identification information that identifies each character. The music data is music data flowing from the speaker 5. Music data includes a plurality of music data, such as singer's music or game music, for example. The image data is game image data. Game image data includes, for example, data such as character images, background images, and various effect images. Sound effect data is sound data played during game play and is different from music data. The sound effect data includes, for example, evaluation sound data that flows according to the result of the player's operation.

The memory unit 7 can remember a predetermined event. Predetermined events include boss character appearance events, bonus events, and intrusion battle events. These predetermined events are stored in correspondence with the display area where the game image should be displayed and the partition image dividing the display area. For example, boss character appearance event A is corresponded so that the display area is only the entire screen area 61 and there is no partition image. Additionally, the display area of the boss character appearance event B is an individual area 611 and a partition area 612, and the partition image here corresponds to the image of the boss character B and the text image "Power 20%". At this time, the partition area 612 displays a partition image as shown in FIG. 6.

Also, for example, when one player is playing with the first sub-game device 1A in the entire screen area 61 and another player plays with the second sub-game device 1B, an event is triggered. That is, the intrusion battle B event is triggered when the second sub operation unit 3B of the second sub game device 1B receives an intrusion battle operation input by another player. At this time, in the intrusion battle B, the display areas are the individual area 611 and the partition area 612, and the partition image is a bar image. At this time, the partition area 612 displays a partition image as shown in FIG. 4.

Additionally, in this embodiment, since the receiving portion 11 of the discharge mechanism 10 described later has a plurality of stockers 111, the storage portion 7 contains information (hereinafter, “stalker information”) regarding the plurality of stockers 111. ") can be remembered. Examples of the stocker information include information about what type of discharge 100 is contained in the stocker 111, information that the number of discharges 100 in the stocker 111 is 0, etc. Specific examples of stalker information include the information shown in Tables 1 to 3 below.

stalker number Emissions (100) Type Emissions (100) Remaining amount 1st Stalker (111) memory only 50 sheets remaining 2nd Stalker (111) memory only 50 sheets remaining 3rd Stalker (111) For rare emissions only 50 sheets remaining 4th Stalker (111) For rare emissions only 50 sheets remaining 5th Stalker (111) For rare emissions only 50 sheets remaining 6th Stalker (111) Normal emissions only 50 sheets remaining 7th Stalker (111) Normal emissions only 50 sheets remaining 8th Stalker (111) Normal emissions only 50 sheets remaining 9th Stalker (111) Normal emissions only 50 sheets remaining 10th Stalker (111) Normal emissions only 50 sheets remaining

Table 1 above shows the following information. Specifically, the first to second stockers 111 each function exclusively for memory, accommodating only a predetermined number of memory discharges 100 (for example, 50 sheets). In addition, the third to fifth stockers 111 each function exclusively for rare discharges, accommodating only a predetermined number (for example, 50 sheets) of rare discharges 100. In addition, the 6th to 10th stockers 111 each function exclusively for normal discharges, accommodating only a predetermined number (for example, 50 sheets) of normal discharges 100. In addition, in Table 1, 50 sheets of memory material 100 remain in the first stocker 111, and 50 sheets of memory material 100 remain in the second stocker 111. Additionally, 50 rare sheets 100 remain in each of the third to fifth stockers 111. Additionally, 50 sheets of normal discharge material 100 remain in each of the 6th to 10th stockers 111.

stalker number Emissions (100) Type Emissions (100) Remaining amount 1st Stalker (111) memory only 45 sheets remaining 2nd Stalker (111) memory only 50 sheets remaining 3rd Stalker (111) 20 sheets of rare output / 30 sheets of normal output 0 sheets remaining 4th Stalker (111) 20 sheets of rare output / 30 sheets of normal output 30 sheets remaining 5th Stalker (111) 20 sheets of rare output / 30 sheets of normal output 50 sheets remaining 6th Stalker (111) 20 sheets of rare output / 30 sheets of normal output 50 sheets remaining 7th Stalker (111) 20 sheets of rare output / 30 sheets of normal output 50 sheets remaining 8th Stalker (111) 20 sheets of rare output / 30 sheets of normal output 50 sheets remaining 9th Stalker (111) 20 sheets of rare output / 30 sheets of normal output 50 sheets remaining 10th Stalker (111) 20 sheets of rare output / 30 sheets of normal output 50 sheets remaining

Table 2 above shows the following information. Specifically, the first to second stockers 111 each function exclusively for memory, accommodating only a predetermined number of memory discharges 100 (for example, 50 sheets). In addition, the 3rd to 10th stockers 111 each function as a multi-stalker that receives rare discharge 100 and normal discharge 100 at a predetermined ratio (rare discharge: normal discharge = 20:30 in Table 2). In relation to this accommodation, the stocker 111 can accommodate a shrink (package) in which a set of 20 rare discharges 100 and a set of 30 normal discharges 100 following them are bundled in order from the bottom. In this case, the acquisition means 81 of the control unit 8, which will be described later, can acquire information about what type of discharge 100 each stocker 111 is receiving depending on the remaining amount of discharge 100. For example, in Table 2 above, the remaining amount of discharged material 100 from the fourth stocker 111 is 30 sheets. Accordingly, the fourth stocker 111 can acquire information that all 20 rare discharge sheets 100, which were set in order from the bottom, have been discharged by the acquisition means 81. That is, the acquisition means 81 can acquire information that the fourth stocker 111 has 30 sheets of normal discharge material 100 remaining and is in a state of being dedicated to normal discharge material. In addition, since the remaining amount of discharges (100) of the 5th to 10th stockers (111) is 50 sheets, these stockers (111) have 20 rare discharges (100) from the bottom, followed by 30 sheets of normal discharges (100). The acquisition means 81 can acquire the information. That is, the acquisition means 81 can acquire information that these stockers 111 are in a state exclusively for rare discharge 100 until all 20 sheets of rare discharge 100 are discharged.

Table 3 above shows the following information. Specifically, the first to second stockers 111 each function exclusively for memory, accommodating only a predetermined number of memory discharges 100 (for example, 50 sheets). In addition, the third to eighth stockers 111 function as random stockers that randomly receive rare discharges 100 and normal discharges 100, respectively. Additionally, the ninth stocker 111 functions exclusively for normal discharge by accommodating only a predetermined number of normal discharges 100 (for example, 50 sheets). Additionally, the tenth stocker 111 functions exclusively for rare discharges by accommodating only a predetermined number (for example, 50 sheets) of rare discharges 100. Additionally, the example in Table 3 is stocker information regarding the remaining amount of discharged material 100, and only information regarding the presence or absence of discharged material 100 of each stocker 111 is stored in the storage unit 7. Through this stalker information, the acquisition means 81 can acquire information about which stalker 111 is in an empty state.

The information listed in Tables 1 to 3 above is an example of stalker information, and stalker information is not limited to the above-described information. For example, there is no need for the memory-only stocker 111. Additionally, a randomly arranged set of rare discharges 100 and normal discharges 100 may be accommodated in all of the first to tenth stockers 111. Additionally, even when the storage unit 7 does not store stalker information, various discharges 100 can actually be accommodated in the stalker 111, as shown in the stalker information described above. This can be achieved, for example, through a store employee where the game device 1 is installed, etc.

Additionally, the discharge candidate holding portion 131 of the discharge mechanism 10 described later has a plurality of holding plates 1311 (first to fiftieth in this embodiment). Therefore, the storage unit 7 provides information regarding the ratio in which the memory discharge 100, rare discharge 100, or normal discharge 100 is to be arranged on the plurality of holding plates 1311 (hereinafter, “retaining plate ratio information”). ") can be remembered. Examples of the holding plate ratio information include the information shown in Table 4 below.

1st to 5th editions (1311) Discharge for memory (100) 6th to 25th editions (1311) Rare emissions (100) 26th to 50th editions (1311) Normal discharge (100)

The holding plate ratio information shown in Table 4 above is an example, and the holding plate ratio information is not limited to the above-described information. For example, only normal discharge 100 or only rare discharge 100 may be disposed on each holding plate 1311.

＜Control section＞

Next, the control unit 8 will be described. The control unit 8 controls all functions related to game execution. This control unit 8 has acquisition means 81, game processing means 82, display control means 83, sound output control means 84, and operation control means 85, as shown in FIG.

(means of acquisition)

The acquisition means 81 has a function of acquiring operation input information by the player, character information of the discharge 100, game information, etc. The acquisition means 81 acquires operation input information when the player presses the push button 31. It can simultaneously receive operation input information from the first sub-operation unit 3A and the second sub-operation unit 3B. Such manipulation input information includes, for example, information about interrupt play or information about character selection. Additionally, the acquisition means 81 acquires character information read by the reading unit 4, etc. In addition, various information acquired through the communication unit 9, which will be described later, is acquired.

Additionally, the acquisition means 81 has a function of acquiring position information, etc. of each part of the discharge mechanism 10 detected by the detection unit 17, which will be described later. For example, the acquisition means 81 can detect the position information of each of the plurality of stalkers 111, the position information of each of the plurality of holding plates 1311, etc.

(means of game processing)

The game processing means 82 has a function of processing information or game progress acquired by the acquisition means 81. For example, the game processing means 82 determines the game image information stored in the storage unit 7 and provides it to the display control means 83. The game processing means 82 determines sound information and provides it to the sound output control means 84. Additionally, the game processing means 82 determines and triggers a predetermined event. In this way, the game processing means 82 processes the overall progress of the game.

Here, determining a predetermined event by the game processing means 82 may be executed randomly, may be executed periodically, or may be executed by receiving a player's operation input. Additionally, the game processing means 82 can specify a specific partition image corresponding to a predetermined event, and can decide to display a predetermined image in addition to the relevant partition image.

Additionally, the game processing means 82 may temporarily select or select the emissions 100 to be emission candidates according to player information (number of players, character information connected to each player, etc.). Additionally, the game processing means 82 can confirm what type of emissions 100 have been emitted. The game processing means 82 may check whether there is a predetermined number of emissions 100 in the emission candidate holding unit 131, which will be described later. Additionally, the game processing means 82 may process the game progress based on the number or type of discharged objects 100 placed in the discharge candidate holding unit 131 and/or based on the type of discharged objects 100. .

(Display control means)

The display control means 83 has a function of controlling the display of all images related to the game. That is, the display control means 83 controls the display of game image information provided by the game processing means 82 and the display of partition images. For example, the display control means 83 independently controls the display of game images in both the first area 611A and the second area 611B of the display unit 6, as shown in FIG. 4. Additionally, the display control means 83 controls the display of game images in the entire screen area 61, as shown in FIG. 5. Additionally, the display control means 83 controls the display of a linear partition image (FIG. 4) and a partition image such as a game image or character image (FIG. 6) in the partition area 612. In this way, the display control means 83 can control image display so that a predetermined image is displayed separately in each area of the display unit 6.

(Sound output control means)

The sound output control means 84 controls the output of all sounds and music related to the game. Specifically, the sound output control means 84 controls the output of music or sounds determined by the game processing means 82. The sound output control means 84 provides sound or music information to the speaker 5, so that the speaker 5 can output the sound or music.

(Motion control means)

The operation control means 85 has the function of controlling the operation of each part of the discharge mechanism. For example, the operation control means 85 can independently control the first operation unit 12, the second operation unit 13, and the extrusion mechanism 14, which will be described later. For example, when the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13 are configured to rotate, the operation control means 85 operates the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13 simultaneously or separately. It can be rotated separately. Additionally, the direction of rotation may be either clockwise or counterclockwise. Additionally, the motion control means 85 may be able to freely change their rotation speed.

Additionally, the operation control means 85 has a function of controlling processing related to the discharge of the discharged material 100 from the discharge mechanism 10, which will be described later. For example, the operation control means 85 distributes various discharges 100 to the first to fiftieth holding plates 1311, which will be described later, based on the holding plate ratio information (e.g., the ratio shown in Table 4 above). The first operation unit 12, the second operation unit 13, and the extrusion mechanism 14 can each be independently controlled to arrange.

＜Communication Department＞

The communication unit 9 has the function of communicating with an external network (LAN, WAN, Internet, etc.) or device through wired or wireless. The game device 1 of the present invention can communicate data with other devices such as other game devices or information terminals through the communication unit 9. For example, the communication unit 9 can obtain music data or game programs by communicating with other devices. Therefore, the game program can be updated to provide the latest games. Additionally, the game device 1 may not have a communication unit 9.

＜Discharge mechanism＞

The game device 1 of the present invention has a discharge mechanism 10 that can efficiently discharge the discharge 100 according to the game results. The discharge mechanism 10 is an example of the discharge mechanism of the present invention. Hereinafter, the configuration of the discharge mechanism 10 will be described in detail based on the preferred embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

A. Configuration of discharge mechanism

It is a side view of the foot of the accommodating part provided by the mechanism, and Figure 10(c) is a perspective view of the foot of the accommodating part provided by the discharge mechanism installed in the game device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 11 is a partially exploded perspective view of the first operation portion, the receiving portion, and the extrusion mechanism included in the discharge mechanism installed in the game device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 12 is a partially exploded perspective view of the second operating portion provided in the discharge mechanism installed in the game device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 13 is a perspective view of the main part of the extrusion mechanism provided in the discharge mechanism installed in the game device according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 7 shows a state in which the front door of the case 2 is open and the discharge mechanism 10 disposed inside the case 2 is moved to the left front. Additionally, inside the case 2, for example, a case for storing coins or the CPU of the game device 1 are accommodated, but these are omitted for convenience of explanation.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the discharge mechanism (distribution mechanism) 10 includes a receiving portion 11, a first operating portion 12, a second operating portion 13, an extrusion mechanism 14, and a discharge guiding portion. (15), it has an imaging unit (16), a detection unit (17), and a pedestal unit (18).

(receptor)

The receiving portion 11 has the function of accommodating a plurality of discharges 100. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the accommodating part 11 is provided with a plurality of stockers 111, that is, the first to tenth stockers 111. The stocker 111 has a tower shape and is configured to accommodate a plurality of discharges 100. The accommodating portion 11 is provided with a plurality of stockers 111 as a plurality of accommodating portions. Accordingly, each of the plurality of stockers 111 may accommodate various discharges 100 at a predetermined ratio. Therefore, the ratio of the types of emissions 100 disposed in the emission candidate holding unit 131, which will be described later, can be adjusted, and the emissions 100 can be efficiently discharged according to the game result.

Additionally, the number of stockers 111 is 10 in this embodiment, but it is not limited to this. The number of stockers 111 is preferably two or more, and more preferably three or more. Additionally, the number of discharged materials 100 that can be accommodated in each stocker 111 is not particularly limited and can be, for example, 50 sheets. The plurality of stockers 111 may each accommodate different types of discharge 100, for example, as described in the above-mentioned stocker information.

As shown in FIG. 9, each stocker 111 has a main body 112 and a foot 113. The main body 112 has a rounded cylindrical shape to correspond to the shape of the discharged material 100. Additionally, the main body 112 has a notch 112A on one side thereof. For example, a part of the hand (finger) can be inserted into the main body 112 through the notch portion 112A. Because of this, a plurality of discharged substances 100 can be easily accommodated in the stocker 111 while being supported by hand. There is also an advantage that it is easy to manage the game device 1 because, for example, the contained waste 100 can be seen with the naked eye when the front door of the case 2 is opened. As a result, it is possible to avoid a state in which no discharge 100 is accommodated in the stocker 111, and the discharge 100 can be more reliably and efficiently discharged according to the game result.

The main body portion 112 has four beam portions 1121 on each side of the outer peripheral surface along its longitudinal direction. The beam portion 1121 is formed along the entire longitudinal direction of the main body portion 112, and the lower end of the beam portion 1121 is configured to fit with the foot portion 113.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the foot portion 113 has a base portion 1131 and a border-shaped portion 1132 provided above the base portion 1131. Additionally, the foot portion 113 has a bottom plate portion 1133 installed to be supported inside the base portion 1131.

The base portion 1131 has a box shape with an open top and has a front side (1131a), a back side (1131a'), a right side (1131b), and a left side (1131b') (FIGS. 10(a) and 10(b) ) reference). The upper end of the base portion 1131 corresponding to the front (1131a) and rear (1131a') is formed to support the border-shaped portion (1132). Meanwhile, the upper end of the base portion 1131 corresponding to the right side 1131b and the left side 1131b' is formed so that the bottom plate 1133 can protrude in an inclined state.

Additionally, the base portion 1131 has a groove portion 113A on the inner upper side of the rear surface 1131a'. The groove portion 113A is configured to contact the side of the discharged material 100 or the side of the bottom plate 1133. Accordingly, friction between them can be reduced. In this way, the groove portion 113A contributes to efficiently discharging the discharged material 100 to the discharge candidate holding portion 131.

The border-shaped portion 1132 is formed to protrude from the base portion 1131. Accordingly, the border-shaped portion 1132 can be fitted with the lower end of the beam portion 1121 of the main body portion 112. Additionally, the edge-shaped portion 1132 has a slit portion 113D corresponding to the notch portion 112A of the main body portion 112 (see Fig. 9). As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10(c), the slit portion 113D is installed adjacent to the bottom plate portion 1133. Therefore, through the slit portion 113D, the misalignment of the discharged object 100 in contact with the bottom plate portion 1133 can be corrected, and the game device 1 can be easily managed. Accordingly, clogging of the discharge material 100 in the receiving portion 11 can be suppressed or prevented, and the discharge material 100 can be discharged more reliably and efficiently according to the game result. The position of the slit portion 113D may be installed to correspond to the notch portion 112A. Therefore, when the stocker 111 is installed on the first operating unit 12, the notch portion 112A and the slit portion 113D are on the outer surface (left side 1131b' of the base portion 1131) of the stocker 111. can be installed on the side of the corresponding position). That is, when the stocker 111 is installed on the first operating portion 12, the notch portion 112A and the slit portion 113D are installed on the stocker 111 so that the notch portion 112A and the slit portion 113D face opposite to the center of the first operating portion 12. Can be installed. Accordingly, even when a plurality of stockers 111 are installed in parallel, the above-described effects can be more significantly achieved.

Additionally, the border-shaped portion 1132 has a long skirt portion 1132a and a short skirt portion 1132a' provided corresponding to the left and right sides (two short sides). That is, in the border-shaped portion 1132, the long skirt portion 1132a is installed downward on one side corresponding to the right side 1131b of the base portion 1131, and the short skirt portion 1132a' is installed on the base portion 1131. ) is installed facing downward on one side corresponding to the left side (1132b').

The lower end of the long skirt portion 1132a is at an angle with the upper surface of the mounting portion 121 of the first operating portion 12 with the stocker 111 installed perpendicular to the first operating portion 12. It is composed by forming. For this reason, the lower end of the long skirt portion 1132a is configured to correspond to the slope of the bottom plate portion 1133, which will be described later (see FIG. 10(b)). Additionally, as shown in FIG. 10(b), a gap 113B is formed between the lower end of the long skirt portion 1132a and the bottom plate portion 1133. Through the gap 113B, the first extrusion portion (extrusion member for placement) 144, which will be described later, extrudes the discharged material 100 installed on the bottom plate portion 1133 toward the discharge candidate holding portion 131, which will be described later. can do.

Meanwhile, the lower end of the short skirt portion 1132a' is also configured to form an angle with respect to the first operation portion 12 to correspond to the inclination of the bottom plate portion 1133, which will be described later. Additionally, a gap 113C is formed between the lower end of the short skirt portion 1132a' and the bottom plate portion 1133. The gap 113C is larger than the gap 113B, so that the extruded discharged material 100 can be reliably discharged to the discharge candidate holding portion 131.

The bottom plate 1133 has the function of supporting the discharged material 100. The bottom plate 1133 is formed to be inclined from the upper end of the front 1131a of the base 1131 toward the middle of the rear 1131a'. That is, in a state where the stocker 111 is installed perpendicularly to the first operating part 12, the bottom plate 1133 forms an angle with respect to the first operating part 12. This inclination angle is preferably in the range of, for example, 10° to 45°, and more preferably in the range of 15° to 30°, with respect to the upper surface of the placement portion 121 of the first operation portion 12. This inclination angle is set to correspond (preferably coincide) with the inclination angle of the holding plate 1311 described later. Accordingly, the extruded discharge 100 can be reliably exported to the discharge candidate holding portion 131. Additionally, the bottom plate 1133 of this configuration can support the discharged material 100 in an inclined state, and the width of the stocker 111 can be reduced by the amount of the inclination. As a result, the mechanism itself can be miniaturized. Accordingly, the cost required for the device can be reduced. On the other hand, the corresponding or coincident inclination angle of each member refers to the angle when each member is combined with the discharge mechanism 10. In addition, the corresponding or matching inclination angle of each member means that when the game device 1 is installed on an installation surface (e.g., ground, floor), the inclination angle of each member with respect to the installation surface corresponds or matches. It can mean. Each member with a corresponding or matching inclination angle can also be said to have a corresponding inclination structure.

In addition, the bottom plate 1133 is installed parallel to the first operating part 12 in a state in which the stocker 111 is installed perpendicular to the first operating part 12 and does not support the discharge 100, It may be configured to move downward at a predetermined angle under the weight of the discharged material 100. That is, the bottom plate portion 1133 may be configured to be elastically loaded by a spring or the like and move at an angle. In this case, when the bottom plate 1133 is configured to move at an angle, each stocker 111 itself is positioned at a certain angle (for example, 45° to 80°) with respect to the upper surface of the placement portion 121 of the first operation portion 12. It is desirable to install it to form an angle. The angle is formed by the upper surface of the placement unit 121 and the side surface of the stocker 111 (main body 112) facing the upper surface in a state in which the stocker 111 is installed on the first operating portion 12. It means the angle at which Accordingly, the force applied to the bottom plate 1133 (and the discharge 100 in contact with the bottom plate 1133) due to the weight of the discharge 100 itself is reduced. Therefore, while tilting the bottom plate 1133, which supports the discharged material 100, at a predetermined angle (for example, 10° to 45°) with respect to the upper surface of the placement portion 121 of the first operation portion 12, the bottom plate portion 1133 is in a state of supporting the discharged material 100. The discharge 100 that comes into contact with 1133 can be smoothly exported to the discharge candidate holding portion 131.

Additionally, the bottom plate portion 1133 extends beyond the right side 1131b and left side 1132b' of the base portion 1131 and protrudes in the left and right directions of the foot portion 113 (FIG. 10(a)). And the end of the bottom plate 1133 protruding from the right side 1131b has a tapered portion 1133a whose thickness gradually decreases. Because of this, the first extrusion portion 144 can be smoothly guided to the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 1133, and the discharged material 100 installed on the bottom plate portion 1133 can be reliably extruded.

In this way, the discharged material 100 accommodated in each stocker 111 of the receiving portion 11 is extruded by inserting the first extruding portion 144 into the foot portion 113 through the gap 113B to form the discharge candidate holding portion 131. is sent to At this time, the discharged material 100 in contact with the bottom plate 1133 is sequentially extruded. The foot portion 113 is connected to the first operation portion 12 through its bottom surface as shown in FIG. 11 .

(First operating part)

The first operation unit 12 has a function of operating the second operation unit 13, which will be described later, when the accommodation unit 11 is installed. In this embodiment, the first operation unit 12 includes a placement unit 121 formed in a disk shape, and a first motor 122 for driving the placement unit 121. Meanwhile, in FIG. 11 , for convenience of explanation, only a part of the motor (the first stator and the first bearing) is shown as the first motor 122.

The placement unit 121 has a function of placing various members, and each stocker 111 is placed at the outer peripheral end thereof along the circumferential direction. In other words, a plurality of stockers 111 as a plurality of receiving parts are installed in an annular shape on the first operation part 12. In addition, a second extrusion portion (a pair of extrusion portions) 145, which will be described later, is installed at the outer peripheral end of the placement portion 121, which will be described later. Additionally, the placement unit 121 is configured to allow the axis of the first motor 122 to be inserted through its center. Accordingly, the first operating unit 12 can rotate by the driving force of the first motor 122. Therefore, the first operating unit 12 can efficiently move the receiving unit 11 installed in an annular shape on the placing unit 121 along the circumferential direction. Because of this, the emissions 100 can be efficiently discharged according to the game results. Additionally, since the placement unit 121 is formed in a disk shape, the operation (rotation) of the first operation unit 12 can be performed efficiently. In this way, the placement unit 121 is preferably formed to correspond to the operation of the first operation unit 12. For example, when the first operation unit 12 operates linearly, the placement unit 121 may be formed in a rectangular shape.

In addition, accommodation and replenishment of the discharged material 100 for the plurality of stockers 111 are basically performed with the discharge mechanism 10 disposed inside the case 2. Generally, in this state, it is difficult to replenish the discharged material 100 to the stocker 111 located inside the case 2. However, in this embodiment, the first operating part 12 on which the receiving part 11 is installed rotates, so the discharged material 100 can be easily replenished. An operation button for automatically performing rotation of the first operation unit 12 may be separately installed on the pedestal 18 of the discharge mechanism 10, etc. Accordingly, the discharged material 100 can be replenished more easily. Additionally, the stocker 111 may be detachably installed on the placement unit 121. Because of this, the discharged material 100 can be replenished more easily to the receiving portion 11.

(2nd operation part)

The second operating unit 13 has a function of operating while holding a plurality of discharged substances 100 that are discharge candidates from the receiving unit 11. As shown in FIG. 12 , the second operation unit 13 includes a discharge candidate holding unit 131, an array unit 132, an arm-shaped support unit 133, and a second motor 134. Meanwhile, in FIG. 12 , for convenience of explanation, only a part of the motor (second stator and second bearing) is shown as the second motor 134.

The emission candidate holding unit 131 has a function of holding a plurality of emissions 100 to be emission candidates. The discharge candidate holding unit 131 includes a holding plate 1311 that holds a plurality of discharge candidates (50 in this embodiment). That is, each of the plurality of holding plates 1311 holds the discharged material 100 that is a candidate for discharge. As the number of emissions 100 that become emission candidates held by the emission candidate holding unit 131 increases, the effect of the emission mechanism 10 discharging the emissions 100 on demand can be increased.

Each holding plate 1311 has a hoe-shaped placement surface 1311a on which the discharged material 100 is placed. In the placement surface 1311a, three placement areas 1311a extend to one side and two placement areas 1311a extend to the other side through the center. Through a configuration with such a placement area, the contact area between the placement surface 1311a and the surface of the discharge 100 is reduced. As a result, placing the discharged material 100 on the holding plate 1311 and discharging (emitting) the discharged material 100 from the holding plate 1311 can be performed smoothly.

Additionally, a bent portion 1311b is installed at the tip of each of the five arrangement areas 1311a extending in opposite directions to bend upward. Since the holding plate 1311 has such a bent portion 1311b, the discharged material 100 can be supported by the bent portion 1311b even if the holding plate 1311 is in an inclined state. Therefore, the holding plate 1311 can reliably hold the discharged material 100 in an inclined state. Each holding plate 1311 is installed in the arrangement portion 132.

The arrangement unit 132 has the function of arranging and placing the holding plates 1311. The arrangement unit 132 has an annular shape, and its inner diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the placement unit 121 of the first operation unit 12 so as to surround the first operation unit 12. A plurality of holding plates 1311 are arranged on the upper surface of the arrangement unit 132 so that adjacent holding plates 1311 partially overlap each other. In this arranged state, the plurality of holding plates 1311 are inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the upper surface of the arrangement unit 132. This inclination angle is preferably in the range of, for example, 10° to 45°, and more preferably in the range of 15° to 30°, with respect to the upper surface of the array unit 132. Because of this, compared to the case where the discharged material 100 is placed flat on the upper surface of the arrangement unit 132 (when there is no angle to the upper surface), more holding plates 1311 can be installed. By retaining more discharge candidates in this way, the effect of the discharge mechanism 10 discharging the discharge 100 on demand can be increased, and the discharge 100 can be efficiently discharged according to the game result. .

The inclination angle of the holding plate 1311 with respect to the upper surface of the arrangement unit 132 and the inclination angle of the bottom plate 1133 with respect to the upper surface of the placement unit 121 of the above-described first operation unit 12 correspond to each other (preferably matches). In this way, each of the plurality of holding plates 1311 forms an angle to correspond to the inclination angle of the bottom plate portion 1133. Because of this, the discharged material 100 can be smoothly and reliably discharged from the stocker 111 installed on the first operating unit 12 to the holding plate 1311.

The female-shaped support portion 133 has the function of supporting the array portion 132. The arm-shaped support portion 133 has five arms 1331, and a support plate 1332 is installed at the tip of each arm. The bottom surface of the array unit 132 contacts the upper surface of each support plate 1332, and as a result, the array unit 132 is supported by the female-shaped support unit 133. The driving force of the second motor 134 is transmitted to the arrangement unit 132 through the female support unit 133, and the discharge candidate holding unit 131 operates (rotates in this embodiment).

In this embodiment, the second operating unit 13 is installed to surround the first operating unit 12. Accordingly, the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13 can rotate adjacent to each other. As a result, it is possible to efficiently correspond a given stocker 111 among the plurality of stockers 111 installed in the first operation unit 12 and a certain holding plate 1311 among the plurality of holding plates 1311, The discharge (100) of (111) can be smoothly and reliably discharged to a predetermined holding plate. In this way, since the first operating unit 12 can operate efficiently with respect to the second operating unit 13, emissions can be efficiently discharged according to the game result.

(Extrusion mechanism)

The extrusion mechanism 14 has the function of pushing out the discharged material 100. Specifically, the function of extruding the discharged material 100 contained in the receiving portion 11 to the discharge candidate holding portion 131, and the function of extruding the discharged material 100 held in the discharged candidate holding portion 131 to the discharge guiding portion 15. It has the function of extruding. In this way, the extrusion mechanism 14 is configured to expel the discharged material 100 from the receiving portion 11 to the discharge candidate holding portion 131 and to discharge the discharged material 100 from the discharge candidate holding portion 131 to the discharge guiding portion 15. In this way, the configuration of the extrusion mechanism 14 is not particularly limited as long as it can exert the function of expelling the discharge 100 between each part. In other words, the extrusion mechanism 14 may have a configuration that functions as a discharge portion. This extrusion mechanism 14 may also be referred to as a third operating unit.

As shown in Fig. 13, the extrusion mechanism 14 is provided with a mounting plate 141, a third motor 142, an elastic belt member 143, and a first extrusion portion (extrusion member for placement) 144. . Additionally, the extrusion mechanism 14 has a second extrusion portion (pair of extrusion portions) 145 (see Fig. 11).

The mounting plate 141 has a small disk shape and has the function of mounting various members. The diameter of the mounting plate 141 is smaller than the diameter of the mounting portion 121 of the first operating portion 12, and the mounting plate 141 is supported on an axis different from that of the first operating portion 12. It is installed in the central part of (121). For this reason, the mounting plate 141 remains fixed even when the first operation unit 12 operates. Therefore, each member on the mounting plate 141 is not affected by the operation of the first operation unit 12. In this way, the mounting plate 141 of the extrusion mechanism 14 is fixed in this embodiment, but it may be movable, for example, rotatable.

The third motor (142) has a function of driving the first extrusion part (144) through the tautly hung elastic belt member (143). When the elastic belt member (143) is operated to rotate by the driving force of the third motor (142), the first extrusion part (144) can be operated in two directions, left and right, that is, in a straight line. In the present embodiment, the first extrusion parts (144) operate simultaneously. In addition, the first extrusion part (144) can be configured to operate independently at each end. For example, when one end of the first extrusion part (144) operates, the other end may be stationary, or they may operate simultaneously in different directions.

The elastic belt member 143 has a function of transmitting the driving force of the third motor 142 to the first extrusion unit 144. The configuration of the elastic belt member 143 is not particularly limited as long as it can exert this function. For example, the elastic belt member 143 may have a flat inner surface or may have a plurality of convex portions arranged at a predetermined pitch.

The first extruder 144 has a function of extruding the discharged material 100 contained in the receiving portion 11 so that the discharged material 100 is placed in the discharge candidate holding portion 131. Both ends of the first extrusion portion 144 are composed of two plate-shaped members 144a and 144b with dimensions capable of extruding the discharged material 100. The two plate-shaped members 144a and 144b have a common axis like the wings of a pinwheel and are installed at a predetermined angle with respect to the upper surface of the mounting plate 141 while facing different directions. This inclination angle is preferably in the range of, for example, 10° to 45°, and more preferably in the range of 15° to 30°, with respect to the upper surface of the mounting plate 141.

The inclination angle of the first extruded portion 144, the inclination angle of the holding plate 1311 with respect to the upper surface of the above-described array portion 132, and the inclination angle of the above-described first operation portion 12 with respect to the upper surface of the placement portion 121. The inclination angles of the bottom plate portion 1133 correspond (preferably coincide) to each other. Accordingly, the first extruder 144 can extrude the discharged material 100 contained in the stocker 111 and reliably export it to the holding plate 1311.

Next, the second extrusion unit 145 will be described. The second extrusion unit 145 has a function of extruding the discharged material 100 held in the holding plate 1311 to the discharge guide portion 15 by being extruded by the first extrusion section 144. The second extrusion parts 145 are spaced apart from each other in the placement part 121. More specifically, the second extrusion parts 145 are installed spaced apart from each other on the same straight line. That is, in the first operation unit 12, two second extrusion units 145 are provided along the diameter of the disk-shaped placement unit 121. Additionally, these second extrusion parts 145 are installed continuously with a plurality of stockers 111 along the circumferential direction. With this configuration, controlling the operation of the first operation unit 12 allows positioning of the second extrusion unit 145 and the plurality of stockers 111. In this way, positioning of multiple members can be performed efficiently.

As shown in FIG. 11, the second extrusion unit 145 includes a rail member 1451, a contact member 1452, and an extrusion member 1453 for discharge. This discharge extrusion member 1453 is installed on the rail member 1451 together with the contact member 1452 while being urged toward the center of the placement portion 121. Additionally, the first extrusion unit 144 is installed between the second extrusion units (a pair of extrusion units) 145. Therefore, as the placement portion 121 of the first operation portion 12 rotates, the discharge extrusion member 1453 is positioned adjacent to the plate-shaped member 144a or 144b of the first extrusion portion 144. In this state, the first extrusion portion 144 contacts the contact member 1452, so that the discharge extrusion member 1453 is extruded toward the holding plate 1311.

In this way, the second extrusion unit 145 exerts its function by being extruded by the first extrusion unit 144. In order to reliably exert this mechanism, it is desirable to make the second extrusion section 145 and the first extrusion section 144 correspond (they are located on the same straight line). In this embodiment, the two second extrusion parts 145 are installed on the first operation part 12 at a distance from each other, and the first extrusion part 144 is installed between the two second extrusion parts 145. . Accordingly, if either of the two second extrusion parts 145 is placed in correspondence with the first extrusion part 144 (they are located on the same straight line), its function can be reliably exercised. Therefore, the function of the second extrusion unit 145 can be efficiently exerted. Additionally, the second extrusion unit 145 may be equipped with a dedicated motor to drive itself. In this case, the first extrusion unit 144 may be referred to as a third operation unit, and the second extrusion unit 145 may be referred to as a fourth operation unit.

Each discharge extrusion member 1453 of the second extrusion portion 145 is positioned at a predetermined angle with respect to the upper surface of the placement portion 121, similar to the two plate-shaped members 144a and 144b of the first extrusion portion 144 described above. It is installed at an incline. This inclination angle is preferably in the range of, for example, 10° to 45°, and more preferably in the range of 15° to 30°, with respect to the upper surface of the mounting portion 121.

The inclination angle of this discharge extrusion member 1453, the inclination angle of the holding plate 1311 with respect to the upper surface of the above-described arrangement unit 132, and the inclination angle of the first extrusion part 144 with respect to the upper surface of the above-described placement unit 121. The inclination angles of the upper and lower plate portions 1133 correspond (preferably coincide) to each other. Because of this, the first extruder 144 can extrude the discharged material 100 contained in the stocker 111 and reliably export it to the holding plate 1311. In addition, the first extruder 144 can extrude the discharged material 100 held in the holding plate 1311 through the second extruded portion 145 and reliably discharge it to the discharge guide portion 15. In this way, in the present embodiment, in the plurality of operating parts that operate in correspondence, the inclination angles of the plurality of (at least two) members correspond to each other (preferably, coincide). Accordingly, the discharge 100 can be discharged efficiently. In other words, the discharged material 100 can be discharged efficiently by having a plurality of members having a corresponding inclined structure.

(Exhaust induction part)

The discharge guide unit 15 has a function of guiding the discharged material 100 extruded from the holding plate 1311 to the discharge port 21. In this embodiment, since the game device 1 has a 2-in-1 configuration, two discharge guide portions 15 are installed. Depending on the configuration of the game device 1, the number of discharge guide portions 15 can be appropriately selected. In this embodiment, two discharge guide portions 15 are installed adjacent to the discharge candidate holding portion 131 on both sides of the discharge mechanism 10. Each discharge guide portion 15 has a gate portion 151 and a discharge path 152.

The gate portion 151 has a function of reliably guiding the discharged material 100 extruded from the discharge candidate holding portion 131 to the discharge guiding portion 15 to the discharge path 152. As long as it has these functions, its configuration is not particularly limited. In this embodiment, the gate portion 151 is installed adjacent to the discharge candidate holding portion 131 as shown in FIG. 8. However, a portion of the gate portion 151 may be configured to cover the upper portion of the discharge candidate holding portion 131. In other words, the discharge guide portion 15 may have a cover portion above the discharge candidate holding portion 131. As a result, it is possible to prevent the discharged material 100 extruded from the holding plate 1311 from escaping into parts other than the discharge passage 152.

Additionally, a gate sensor may be installed in the gate unit 151 to detect that the discharged material 100 has passed through it. Accordingly, the detection unit 17 can detect abnormalities in the discharge of the discharged material 100. When an abnormality occurs, abnormal information is acquired by the acquisition means 81, and the game processing means 82 can temporarily suspend the game. As a result, emissions can be discharged efficiently.

The discharge path 152 has the function of guiding the discharged material 100 that has passed through the gate portion 151 to the discharge port 21. As long as it has its function, the configuration of the discharge passage 152 is not particularly limited. In this embodiment, the discharge path 152 is configured to have an inclined surface so that the discharged material 100 slides down to the discharge port 21 due to its own weight.

(Image capture department)

The imaging unit 16 has a function of reading identification information of the discharged material 100 held on the holding plate 1311. That is, the imaging unit 16 functions as an identification information reading unit. The imaging unit 16 has a camera 161 installed above the array unit 132. Additionally, when an identification code (for example, a micro QR code) is attached to the placement surface 1311a of the holding plate 1311, the imaging unit 16 can also read the identification code.

Specifically, after the discharged material 100 is sent from the stocker 111 to the holding plate 1311, the second operation unit 13 is rotated so that the holding plate 1311 is located below the imaging unit 16. . Accordingly, the camera 161 can read the identification information of the discharged material 100 from above the holding plate 1311. In addition, after the discharge 100 from the holding plate 1311 is discharged, the second operation unit 13 rotates so that the holding plate 1311 is positioned below the imaging unit 16. Accordingly, the camera 161 can also read the identification code of the holding plate 1311 (placement surface 1311a). In this regard, when the imaging unit 16 fails to read any of the identification information of the discharged material 100 and the identification code of the placement surface 1311a, abnormal information is acquired by the acquisition means 81. Additionally, the game processing means 82 may temporarily suspend the game.

The type of camera 161 is not particularly limited and may include a visible light camera, an infrared camera, and a full spectrum camera. In this embodiment, the camera 161 is configured as an infrared camera.

(Detection unit)

The detection unit (17) has a function of detecting and sensing information about the status of the discharge mechanism (10). The information about the status of the discharge mechanism (10) includes, for example, location information of each part or information about the number of discharges (100) received in each stocker (111). For example, the detection unit (17) can detect location information of each stocker (111) and the second extrusion unit (145) installed in the first operation unit (12). In addition, the detection unit (17) can detect location information of each holding plate (1311) installed in the second operation unit (13). In order to detect this location information, the detection unit (17) in the present embodiment has first to fourth sensors (171 to 174).

Specifically, the detection unit 17 includes a first sensor (index sensor) 171 for detecting the standard stalker 111 among each stalker 111, and each stalker in order from the reference stalker 111 ( 111) and has a second sensor 172 for detecting location information (see FIGS. 8 and 13). As shown in FIGS. 8 and 13, the first sensor 171 and the second sensor 172 are installed on the mounting plate 141 of the extrusion mechanism 14.

In addition, the detection unit 17 includes a third sensor (index sensor) 173 for detecting the reference holding plate 1311 among the holding plates 1311, and each holding plate 1311 in order from the reference holding plate 1311. It has a fourth sensor 174 for detecting the position information of the plate 1311 (see FIG. 8). In FIG. 8, the third sensor 173 and the fourth sensor 174 are arranged to detect position information of each holding plate 1311 from below.

The first to fourth sensors 171 to 174 may be any sensor, such as a reflective photoelectric sensor, a transmissive photoelectric sensor, a magnetic sensor, an infrared sensor, a proximity sensor, or a mechanical contact sensor. Additionally, the type, number, and installation location of the first to fourth sensors 171 to 174 are not particularly limited as long as they can perform their functions. Additionally, the detection unit 17 may be provided with a fifth sensor for detecting the number of discharged substances 100 accommodated in the stocker 111. The fifth sensor may be configured to detect the number of discharged substances 100 through the notch portion 112A of the main body portion 112 of the stocker 111. And, for example, the fifth sensor can detect whether the discharge 100 contained in the stocker 111 is more than a predetermined number or less than a predetermined number. Accordingly, replenishment (replacement) of the discharged material 100 becomes easy. The installation location or number of these fifth sensors can be adjusted according to the position of the notch portion 112A.

(Pedestal part)

The pedestal portion 18 includes the above-described receiving portion 11, the first operating portion 12, the second operating portion 13, the extrusion mechanism 14, the discharge inducing portion 15, the imaging portion 16, and the detecting portion ( 17) and has the function of supporting the pedestal portion 18. Additionally, the pedestal portion 18 may have a function of storing the first motor 122, the second motor 134, the storage portion 7 of the game device 1, etc. The pedestal portion 18 may have any shape or configuration as long as it can perform these functions.

B. How the discharge mechanism operates

Next, a method of operating the discharge mechanism according to the present invention will be described. Figure 14 is a flowchart showing a method of disposing discharge of a game device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 15 is a flowchart showing processing of a game device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 16 is a flowchart showing a method of replenishing emissions from a gaming device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 17 is a plan view schematically showing the extrusion portion, the receiving portion, and the discharge candidate holding portion provided in the discharge mechanism installed in the game device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 18 is a plan view schematically showing the extrusion portion, the receiving portion, the discharge candidate holding portion, and the discharge path provided in the discharge mechanism installed in the game device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Meanwhile, in FIGS. 17 and 18 , some members (e.g., discharge 100) are omitted for convenience of explanation.

(1) Method of disposing the discharged material

With reference to Table 1, Table 4, Figures 14 and 17, an example of a method of disposing the discharged matter 100 in the discharge candidate holding portion 131 in a state in which no discharged matter 100 is placed at all (initial state) will be described. In this example, a plurality of discharged substances 100 accommodated in the first to tenth stockers 111 of the receiving portion 11 are respectively disposed on the first to fiftieth holding plates 1311 of the discharge candidate holding portion 131. Also, as described above, the storage unit 7 may or may not remember the stalker information and the holding plate ratio information. However, the following description will describe a case where the storage unit 7 stores this information.

First, the arrangement of the discharge material 100 begins in the initial state (S100). “S” stands for step. At this time, the acquisition means 81 acquires specific stalker information (for example, stalker information listed in Table 1) from the stalker information stored in the storage unit 7.

And the detection unit 17 detects the position information of the first to tenth stockers 111 and the second extruder 145 (S101). For example, the detection unit 17 detects the location information (index information) of the stalker 111, which is the standard by the first sensor 171, and also detects the stalker 111, which is the standard by the second sensor 172. ), the position information (position with respect to the index) of each stocker 111 and the position information (position with respect to the index) of the second extruder 145 are detected in this order. Accordingly, the acquisition means 81 can acquire the position information of the first to tenth stockers 111 and the second extrusion unit (pair of extrusion units) 145. Additionally, the method of detecting the position information of each stocker 111 and the second extrusion unit 145 is not limited to this. Additionally, the detected position information is stored in the storage unit 7.

Likewise, the detection unit 17 detects the position information of the first to fiftieth holding plates 1311 (S102). For example, the detection unit 17 detects the position information (index information) of the holding plate 1311 as a reference using the third sensor 173. Subsequently, the detection unit 17 detects the position information (position with respect to the index) of each holding plate 1311 in order, starting with the holding plate 1311 serving as a reference, using the fourth sensor 174. Accordingly, the acquisition means 81 can acquire the position information of the first to fiftieth holding plates 1311. The method of detecting the position information of each holding plate 1311 is not limited to this. Additionally, the detected position information is stored in the storage unit 7.

In this way, the detection unit 17 detects the position information of each stocker 111 and the second extrusion part 145, and the position information of each holding plate 1311. Thereafter, the operation control means 85 supplies memory discharge 100 and rare discharge to the first to fiftieth holding plates 1311 based on the holding plate ratio information (e.g., the ratio shown in Table 4 above). Place (100) or normal discharge (100).

To this end, first, the operation control means 85 extrudes the memory discharge material 100 from the memory discharge material stocker (for example, the first stocker 111 in Table 1) (S103). Accordingly, the memory discharge material 100 is placed on a predetermined holding plate 1311 (for example, the first holding plate 1311 in Table 4).

Step 103 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 17. The operation control means 85 independently controls the operations of the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13. Accordingly, a given stocker 111 (e.g., the first stocker 111 in Table 1) and a given holding plate 1311 (e.g., the first holding plate 1311 in Table 4) are each connected to the first extrusion portion. It is arranged to correspond to the plate-shaped member 144a or 144b, which is one end of 144.

In Fig. 17, the first stocker 111 and the first holding plate 1311 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the plate-shaped member 144a. Accordingly, the longitudinal direction of the plate-shaped member 144a, the longitudinal direction of the bottom plate portion 1133 installed on the first stocker 111 adjacent to the plate-shaped member 144a, and the first retainer adjacent to the first stocker 111 The longitudinal directions of the plates 1311 coincide with each other. In other words, the longitudinal directions of adjacent members can be aligned with each other through the first stocker 111. That is, the longitudinal directions of the plate-shaped member 144a, the bottom plate portion 1133 of the first stocker 111, and the first holding plate 1311 can be aligned.

As a result, the first stocker 111 is moved to a position corresponding to the plate-shaped member 144a. This corresponding position indicates a position where the plate-shaped member 144a can extrude the discharged material 100 accommodated in the first stocker 111. Additionally, the first holding plate 1311 is moved to a position where it can accommodate the discharged material 100 extruded from the first stocker 111.

In this state, the operation control means 85 controls the operation of the extrusion mechanism 14, so that the plate-shaped member 144a of the first extrusion portion 144 is extruded toward the first stocker 111. As a result, the memory discharge material 100 accommodated in the lowest part of the first stocker 111 (that is, in contact with the bottom plate portion 1133) is sent to the first holding plate 1311.

In this way, the method in which the operation control means 85 independently controls the operations of the first operation unit 12, the second operation unit 13, and the extrusion mechanism 14 is called the “retaining plate arrangement method”. . According to the arrangement method for the holding plate, the given stocker 111 and the given holding plate 1311 each correspond to the plate-shaped member 144a (or plate-shaped member 144b) of the first extruded portion 144. Then, the discharged material 100 contained in the lowest part of the stocker 111 is sent to the holding plate 1311. In addition, the longitudinal directions of adjacent members can be matched (coordinated) through a predetermined stocker 111. That is, the longitudinal direction of the plate-shaped member 144a or the plate-shaped member 144b of the first extrusion portion 144, the bottom plate 1133 of the predetermined stocker 111, and the predetermined holding plate 1311 correspond to each other ( can be matched). Additionally, when performing the holding plate arrangement method, the operation control means 85 may control the operation of either the first operation unit 12 or the second operation unit 13 and then control the operation of the other operation unit. Alternatively, the operation control means 85 may simultaneously control the operations of the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13. In the latter case, the arrangement method for the retaining plate can be carried out more quickly.

By this holding plate arrangement method, the memory discharge material 100 is arranged. Next, the operation control means 85 controls the operation of the second operation unit 13 to move the first holding plate 1311 below the imaging unit 16. And the camera 161 of the imaging unit 16 photographs identification information (two-dimensional code 101) of the memory discharge 100 disposed on the first holding plate 1311. Accordingly, the acquisition means 81 acquires information (hereinafter referred to as "holding plate information") that the memory discharge material 100 is placed on the first holding plate 1311 (S104).

Additionally, the game processing means 82 checks whether a predetermined number (5 in Table 4) of the memory discharges 100 are present in the discharge candidate holding unit 131 based on the already acquired holding version information (S105). . If there is no predetermined number of memory discharges 100 in the discharge candidate holding portion 131, the process returns to step 103 and steps 103 to 105 are repeated.

Meanwhile, if there is a predetermined number of memory discharge items 100 in the discharge candidate holding unit 131, the process proceeds to step 106. That is, in this example, when the memory discharge material 100 is disposed on all of the first to fifth holding plates 1311 (Table 4), the process proceeds to step 106. Here, the operation control means 85 extrudes the rare discharge material 100 from the rare discharge material stocker (for example, the third stocker 111 in Table 1) by the above-described holding plate arrangement method (S106). Accordingly, this rare discharge 100 is placed on a predetermined holding plate 1311 (for example, the sixth holding plate 1311 in Table 4).

Specifically, the operation control means 85 independently controls the operations of the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13. Accordingly, the third stocker 111 and the sixth holding plate 1311 accommodating the rare discharge 100 are each arranged to correspond to the plate-shaped member 144a. As a result, the third stocker 111 is moved to a position corresponding to the plate-shaped member 144a. This corresponding position indicates a position where the plate-shaped member 144a can extrude the discharged material 100 accommodated in the third stocker 111. Additionally, the sixth holding plate 1311 is moved to a position for receiving the discharged material 100 extruded from the third stocker 111. In this state, the operation control means 85 controls the operation of the extrusion mechanism 14. Accordingly, the plate-shaped member 144a is extruded toward the third stocker 111. And the rare discharge 100 stored in the lowermost part of the third stocker 111 is sent to the sixth holding plate 1311.

In this way, the arrangement of the rare discharge 100 on the sixth holding plate 1311 is performed. Next, the operation control means 85 controls the operation of the second operation unit 13 to move the sixth holding plate 1311 below the imaging unit 16. And the camera 161 of the imaging unit 16 photographs identification information of the rare discharge 100 disposed on the sixth holding plate 1311. Accordingly, the acquisition means 81 acquires holding plate information indicating that the rare discharge 100 is placed on the sixth holding plate 1311 (including character information regarding the rare discharge 100, etc.) (S107).

In addition, the game processing means 82 confirms whether there are a predetermined number of rare items 100 (20 sheets in Table 4) in the emission candidate holding unit 131 based on the already acquired information on the rare items 100 (S108). If there is no predetermined number of rare discharges 100 in the discharge candidate holding unit 131, the process returns to step 106 and steps 106 to 108 are repeated.

Meanwhile, if there is a predetermined number of rare discharges 100 in the discharge candidate holding unit 131, the processing proceeds to step 109. That is, in this example, when the rare discharge material 100 is placed on all of the 6th to 25th holding plates 1311 (Table 4), the process proceeds to step 109. Here, the operation control means 85 extrudes the normal discharge material 100 from the normal discharge stocker (for example, the sixth stocker 111 in Table 1) by the holding plate arrangement method (S109). Thereby, this normal discharge 100 is placed on the predetermined holding plate 1311 (for example, the 26th holding plate 1311 in Table 4).

Specifically, the operation control means 85 independently controls the operations of the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13. Accordingly, the sixth stocker 111 in which the normal discharge 100 is accommodated and the twenty-sixth holding plate 1311 are each arranged to correspond to the plate-shaped member 144a. As a result, the sixth stocker 111 is moved to a position corresponding to the plate-shaped member 144a (a position where the plate-shaped member 144a can extrude the discharged material 100 contained in the sixth stocker 111). do. This corresponding position indicates a position where the plate-shaped member 144a can extrude the discharged material 100 accommodated in the sixth stocker 111. Additionally, the 26th holding plate 1311 is moved to a position where it can accommodate the discharged material 100 extruded from the 6th stocker 111. In this state, the operation control means 85 controls the operation of the extrusion mechanism 14. Accordingly, the plate-shaped member 144a is extruded toward the sixth stocker 111. As a result, the normal discharge 100 accommodated in the lowest part of the sixth stocker 111 is sent to the 26th holding plate 1311.

In this way, the normal discharge 100 arrangement on the 26th holding plate 1311 is executed. Next, the operation control means 85 controls the operation of the second operation unit 13 to move the 26th holding plate 1311 below the imaging unit 16. And the camera 161 of the imaging unit 16 photographs identification information of the normal discharge 100 disposed on the 26th holding plate 1311. Accordingly, the acquisition means 81 acquires holding plate information indicating that the normal discharge 100 is placed on the 26th holding plate 1311 (including character information related to the normal discharge 100, etc.) (S110).

Finally, the game processing means 82 checks whether the discharge 100 has been placed on all holding plates 1311 (S111). That is, the game processing means 82 confirms whether there are a predetermined number (50 sheets) of discharge items 100 in the discharge candidate holding unit 131 (S111). If there is no predetermined number of discharged substances 100 in the discharge candidate holding unit 131, the process returns to step 109 and steps 109 to 111 are repeated.

Meanwhile, when there is a predetermined number of discharged substances 100 in the discharge candidate holding unit 131, the arrangement of the discharged substances 100 is terminated (S112). That is, in this example, the memory discharge 100 is disposed on the 1st to 5th holding plates 1311, the rare discharge 100 is disposed on the 6th to 25th holding plates 1311, and the 26th to 26th holding plates 1311 are disposed. 50 When the normal discharge 100 is placed on the holding plate 1311 (Table 4), the arrangement of the discharge 100 is terminated (S112).

Through the above-described information, the memory discharge 100, rare discharge 100, and normal discharge 100 are disposed on the first to fiftieth holding plates 1311 in the ratio shown in Table 4. An example of information on the first to fiftieth holding plates 1311 on which the discharge 100 is disposed (hereinafter referred to as “holding plate table information”) is shown in Table 5 below. Additionally, in Table 5, the 12th to 22nd holding plates (1311) and the 32nd to 44th holding plates (1311) are omitted for convenience of explanation. The holding plate table information is acquired by the acquisition means 81 and stored in the storage unit 7. Additionally, the storage unit 7 may store the holding plate information acquired by the acquisition means 81 each time the discharged material 100 is sent from the stocker 111 to the holding plate 1311.

Additionally, for example, the type or ratio of the discharged material 100 accommodated in each stocker 111 may be determined in advance. And each time the discharged material 100 is sent from the stocker 111 to the holding plate 1311, the identification information of the discharged material 100 placed on the holding plate 1311 may be read by the imaging unit 16. For this reason, even when the storage unit 7 does not store stalker information, the memory discharge 100, rare discharge 100, and normal discharge 100 are stored in a predetermined ratio (for example, the ratio shown in Table 4 above). It can be placed in the discharge candidate holding unit 131.

(2) Method of handling emissions according to game play

Referring to Table 5, Figures 15, 17, and 18, an example of an emission processing method according to game play will be described. Specifically, after game play begins, it will be explained how emissions 100 are emitted according to the results of game play. This explanation is an example of control until a portion of the discharged material 100 held in the first to fiftieth holding plates 1311 is discharged from the discharge port 21 through the discharge guide portion 15.

First, start the game (S1). At this time, if the player already has the memory release 100, the identification information of the memory release 100 is read from the reading unit 4. Accordingly, the acquisition means 81 can acquire the player information included in the read identification information. Additionally, the game can be started without using the memory discharge 100.

Then, the game processing means 82 temporarily selects the discharge 100 to be a candidate for discharge based on player information (number of players, character information connected to each player, etc.) (S2). Since the game device 1 of this embodiment has a 2 in 1 configuration, the following description will describe the case of playing the game with 2 players. In the case of two players, the game processing means 82 temporarily selects the six emission candidates 100 for each player based on the holding table information (e.g. Table 5) (see Table 6 below). . This temporarily selected information is acquired by the acquisition means 81 and temporarily stored in the storage unit 7. Additionally, when the game is played with one player, the operation control means 85 may temporarily select, for example, six emissions 100 that are candidates for discharge.

player 1 player 2 Rare emissions (100A)
(6th edition (1311)) Rare emissions (100A)
(23rd edition (1311)) Rare emissions (100B)
(7th Sustaining Edition (1311)) Rare emissions (100H)
(24th edition (1311)) Rare discharge (100C)
(8th edition (1311)) Rare emissions (100I)
(25th edition (1311)) Normal discharge (100A)
(26th edition (1311)) Normal discharge (100D)
(29th edition (1311)) Normal discharge (100B)
(27th edition (1311)) Normal emissions (100E)
(30th edition (1311)) Normal discharge (100C)
(28th edition (1311)) Normal discharge (100C)
(50th edition (1311))

Afterwards, the game is executed by the player (S3). Depending on the game result, the game processing means 82 selects some or all of the temporarily selected discharge candidates for each player. Here, it is assumed that all emission candidates listed in Table 6 have been selected by the operation control means 85. Afterwards, the display unit 6 displays the selected discharge candidate (S4).

Among the displayed emission candidates, each player selects and decides which emission (100) to emit (S5). For example, player 1 selects the rare item 100A (6th holding board 1311), and player 2 selects the rare item 100H (24th holding board 1311).

And the operation control means 85 independently controls the operations of the first operation unit 12, the second operation unit 13, and the extrusion mechanism 14. Accordingly, the second extruder 145 finally discharges the rare discharge (100A) from the sixth holding plate 1311 and the rare discharge (100H) from the 24th holding plate 1311 (S6 to S8) ).

Steps 6 to 8 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 18. First, in order to discharge the rare discharge 100A selected by player 1, the operation control means 85 independently controls the operations of the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13 (S6). . Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 18, the second extrusion portion 145 and the sixth holding plate 1311 are each disposed to correspond to the plate-shaped member 144a of the first extrusion portion 144. In relation to this, in Fig. 18, an extrusion member 1453 for discharging the second extrusion portion 145 and a sixth holding plate 1311 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the plate-shaped member 144a.

Accordingly, the longitudinal direction of the plate-shaped member 144a, the longitudinal direction of the second extruded portion 145 adjacent to the plate-shaped member 144a, and the sixth holding plate 1311 adjacent to the second extruded portion 145 The longitudinal directions coincide with each other. In other words, the longitudinal directions of adjacent members can be aligned with each other through the second extrusion portion 145. That is, the longitudinal directions of the plate-shaped member 144a, the second extrusion portion 145, and the sixth holding plate 1311 can correspond (coincide).

As a result, the second extrusion portion 145 is moved to a position corresponding to the plate-shaped member 144a. This corresponding position indicates a position where the plate-shaped member 144a can extrude the contact member 1452 of the second extrusion portion 145. Additionally, the sixth holding plate 1311 is moved to a position where the rare discharge material 100A disposed therein is extruded by the discharge extrusion member 1453 of the second extrusion portion 145.

In this state, the operation control means 85 controls the operation of the extrusion mechanism 14 (S7) to extrude the plate-shaped member 144a toward the contact member 1452. Accordingly, the extrusion member 1453 for discharge is extruded toward the sixth holding plate 1311. As a result, the rare discharge material 100A disposed on the sixth holding plate 1311 is sent to the discharge guide portion 15 by the discharge extrusion member 1453. Afterwards, the rare discharge (100A) moves to the discharge port (21) due to its own weight and is discharged (S8).

In this way, the method in which the operation control means 85 independently controls the operations of the first operation unit 12, the second operation unit 13, and the extrusion mechanism 14 is referred to as the “retaining plate discharge method.” By the holding plate discharge method, the second extrusion portion 145 and the predetermined holding plate 1311 can each be made to correspond to the plate-shaped member 144a (or plate-shaped member 144b) of the first extrusion portion 144. there is. And the discharge 100 placed on a predetermined holding plate 1311 can be discharged. Additionally, the longitudinal directions of adjacent members can be made to correspond to (match) each other through the second extrusion portion 145. That is, the longitudinal directions of the plate-shaped member 144a, the second extrusion portion 145, and the holding plate 1311 can correspond to (match) each other. Additionally, when performing the holding plate discharge method, the operation control means 85 may control the operation of one of the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13 and then control the operation of the other operation unit. Additionally, the operation control means 85 may simultaneously control the operations of the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13. In the latter case, the discharge method for the holding plate can be carried out more quickly.

By this discharge method for the holding plate, the rare discharge (100A) selected by player 1 can be discharged.

Similarly, in order to discharge the rare discharge 100H selected by player 2, the operation control means 85 uses the first operation unit 12, the second operation unit 13, and the extrusion mechanism 14 by the holding plate discharge method. Each operation is controlled independently. Accordingly, the rare discharge (100H) is discharged from the 24th holding plate 1311 (S6 to S8). After that, the game ends (S9). Additionally, depending on the game content, the player can select multiple emissions (100), in which case steps 6 to 8 are repeated. Additionally, as shown in Table 6, when the same type of discharge (100) is temporarily selected for player 1 and player 2 (for example, when one rare discharge (100A) is temporarily selected for each player), The game processing means 82 can perform cooperative play, so that, for example, a game image can be displayed in the entire screen area 61 (FIG. 5). Additionally, if the player does not have the discharge 100 for memory, the player may request to discharge the discharge 100 for memory. If there is such a request, the operation control means 85 can discharge the memory material 100 by the holding plate discharge method.

Through the above-mentioned information, rare discharge (100A) was discharged from the 6th holding plate (1311), and rare discharge (100H) was discharged from the 24th holding plate (1311). Accordingly, the sixth holding plate 1311 and the twenty-fourth holding plate 1311 are in a state in which the discharged material 100 is not disposed (empty state). In addition, when the memory material 100 is discharged at the start of the game, there is an additional holding plate 1311 that becomes blank. The acquisition means 81 can acquire information regarding this empty state, for example, by the imaging unit 16 photographing the holding plate 1311 in the empty state. In this regard, it is desirable to attach an identification code (for example, micro QR code) to the placement surface 1311a of each holding plate 1311. As a result, each holding plate 1311 can be identified by imaging by the imaging unit 16, and information regarding which holding plate 1311 is in a blank state (hereinafter referred to as “holding plate blank information”) can be viewed. It can be managed reliably. The holding plate blank information acquired by the acquisition means 81 is stored in the storage unit 7.

In this case, it is desirable to replenish the discharge 100 after each game. Hereinafter, a method for replenishing the discharge 100 will be described. Additionally, replenishment of emissions 100 does not have to be performed every time the game ends. For example, replenishment of the emissions 100 may be appropriately performed depending on the number of remaining emissions 100 held in the emission candidate holding unit 131. Specifically, when the number of emissions 100 held in the emission candidate storage unit 131 becomes less than half (25 or less), the emissions 100 may be replenished.

(3) How to replenish emissions

Referring to Table 1, Table 4, Table 5, and FIG. 16, an example of a method of replenishing discharge is described. Start replenishing the discharge (100) (S201). First, the game processing means 82 checks whether the memory material 100 has been discharged based on the holding board table information and the holding board blank information (S202).

If the memory material 100 has been discharged, processing proceeds to step 203. Then, the operation control means 85 executes the arrangement method for the holding plate. Accordingly, the first extruder 144 extrudes new memory discharge material 100 from the memory discharge material stocker (for example, the first stocker 111 in Table 1) (S203). As a result, this memory discharge material 100 is placed on the empty holding plate 1311 (for example, the first holding plate 1311).

In this way, the new memory discharge material 100 is disposed on the first holding plate 1311. After that, the operation control means 85 controls the operation of the second operation unit 13 to move the first holding plate 1311 below the imaging unit 16. Thereafter, the camera 161 of the imaging unit 16 photographs the identification information (two-dimensional code 101) of the new memory discharge 100 placed on the first holding plate 1311. Accordingly, the acquisition means 81 acquires the holding plate information indicating that the new memory discharge material 100 has been placed on the first holding plate 1311 (S204).

In addition, the game processing means 82 determines whether a predetermined number of memory discharge items 100 (5 in Table 4) are disposed in the discharge candidate holding portion 131 based on the holding plate table information and holding plate blank information. Check (S205). If the predetermined number of memory discharges 100 are not placed in the discharge candidate holding portion 131, the process returns to step 203 and steps 203 to 205 are repeated.

On the other hand, when a predetermined number of memory discharge items 100 are placed in the discharge candidate holding unit 131, the process proceeds to step 206. It also returns to step 202 and if the memory discharge 100 has not been discharged, processing continues to step 206. Here, the game processing means 82 checks whether the rare item 100 has been discharged based on the holding board table information and the holding board blank information (S206).

If rare discharge 100 is not discharged, processing proceeds to step 207. Here, the operation control means 85 executes the arrangement method for the holding plate. Accordingly, the first extruder 144 extrudes new normal discharge 100 from the normal discharge stocker (for example, the sixth stocker 111 in Table 1) (S207). And this normal discharge 100 is placed on the empty holding plate 1311 (for example, the 26th holding plate 1311).

In this way, the new normal discharge 100 is placed on the 26th holding plate 1311. After that, the operation control means 85 controls the operation of the second operation unit 13 to move the 26th holding plate 1311 below the imaging unit 16. Additionally, the camera 161 of the imaging unit 16 photographs identification information (two-dimensional code 101) of the new normal discharge 100 disposed on the 26th holding plate 1311. Accordingly, the acquisition means 81 acquires the holding plate information indicating that the new normal discharge 100 is placed on the 26th holding plate 1311 (S209).

Returning to step 206, if the rare discharge (100) has been discharged, the processing proceeds to step 208. Here, the motion control means (85) extrudes new rare discharge (100) from the rare discharge stocker (for example, the third stocker (111) of Table 1) by the arrangement method for the holding plate (S208). Then, this rare discharge (100) is placed on the empty holding plate (1311) (for example, the 23rd holding plate (1311)).

In this way, the new rare discharge 100 is placed on the 23rd holding plate 1311. After that, the operation control means 85 controls the operation of the second operation unit 13 to move the 23rd holding plate 1311 below the imaging unit 16. Additionally, the camera 161 of the imaging unit 16 photographs identification information (two-dimensional code 101) of the new rare discharge 100 placed on the 23rd holding plate 1311. Accordingly, the acquisition means 81 acquires the holding plate information indicating that the new rare discharge 100 is placed on the 23rd holding plate 1311 (S209).

Next, the game processing means 82 determines whether a predetermined number of rare items 100 (20 in Table 4) have been placed in the emission candidate holding unit 131 based on the holding board table information and holding board blank information. Confirm (S210). If the predetermined number of rare discharges 100 are not placed in the discharge candidate holding portion 131, the process returns to step 208 and steps 208 to 210 are repeated.

On the other hand, when a predetermined number of rare discharge materials 100 are placed in the discharge candidate holding unit 131, the process proceeds to step 211. Here, the game processing means 82 checks whether the discharge 100 has been placed on all holding plates 1311 based on the holding plate table information and holding plate blank information (S211).

If no discharge 100 has been placed on all retention plates 1311, processing returns to step 207. Meanwhile, when the discharged material 100 is disposed on all holding plates 1311, replenishment is terminated (S212).

Additionally, when replenishing the discharge material 100 to the holding plate 1311 from which the rare discharge material 100 is discharged, the normal discharge material 100 instead of the rare discharge material 100 may be replenished. In this regard, it is desirable to discharge rare emissions 100. Accordingly, a certain number of rare discharge materials 100 can be placed on a plurality of holding plates 1311, that is, in the discharge candidate holding portion 131. In other words, the ratio of the types of emissions 100 disposed in the emission candidate holding portion 131 can be controlled. As a result, the emissions 100 can be efficiently discharged according to the game result.

On the other hand, the conventional gaming device did not control the plurality of types of emissions 100 that would be emission candidates. Therefore, there were cases where it was difficult to discharge the discharge 100 depending on the game result. For example, even if a rare emission 100 was attempted to be emitted according to the game result, there were cases where the rare emission 100 was not included in the plurality of emissions 100 that would be candidates for emission.

As mentioned above, the above-described processing method can be written as a program that runs on a computer. These programs are realized through CPU (Central Processing Unit), microprocessor, GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), RAM (Random Access Memory), and ROM (Read Only Memory).

≪Second Embodiment≫

Next, a second embodiment of the discharge mechanism of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 19 is a plan view schematically showing the receiving portion and the discharge candidate holding portion provided in the discharge mechanism according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described, focusing on differences from the above-described first embodiment, and description of the same matters will be omitted. In addition, the same symbols are assigned to the same components as those of the first embodiment described above.

The discharge mechanism 10A of the present embodiment differs from the discharge mechanism 10 of the first embodiment in that it does not have an extrusion mechanism. Specifically, in the discharge mechanism 10A of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the accommodating portion 11 is configured to include a slider portion 1133A on the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 1133 provided in each stocker 111. do. The slider portion 1133A includes a first slider member 1133b having a width approximately equal to the width of the discharged material 100, and a second slider member 1133b built into the bottom plate portion 1133 and having a narrower width than the first slider member 1133b. It has a slider member 1133c. The first slider member 1133b and the second slider member 1133c are configured to be operable independently.

The first slider member 1133b is configured to slide toward the discharge candidate holding portion 131 and immediately return to its original position after sliding. Accordingly, the discharged matter 100 in contact with the bottom plate portion 1133 can be sequentially exported to the discharge candidate holding portion 131.

Additionally, the second slider member 1133c can slide separately from the first slider member 1133b. Additionally, the second slider member 1133c is configured to slide toward the discharge candidate holding portion 131 and immediately return to its original position after sliding. The second slider member 1133c is built into the bottom plate 1133 so that it can slide while the discharged material 100 in contact with the bottom plate 1133 is held by the stocker 111. Accordingly, when the second slider member 1133c slides, the discharged material 100 placed on the holding plate 1311 is extruded by the second slider member 1133c and sent to the discharge guide portion 15.

In this way, the discharge mechanism 10A of the present embodiment has the same effect as that of the discharge mechanism 10 of the first embodiment. In other words, the receiving portion 11 has the same function as that of the extrusion mechanism 14 in the first embodiment. Moreover, even if the receiving portion 11 and the discharge candidate holding portion 131 each have the same functions as the first extruding portion 144 and the second extruding portion 145 of the extruding mechanism 14 of the first embodiment, do.

Since the discharge mechanism 10A of this embodiment does not have the extrusion mechanism 14, the mechanism itself can be miniaturized. Accordingly, the cost required for the device can be reduced. Additionally, by operating the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13, the arrangement method for the holding plate and the discharging method for the holding plate can be performed. As a result, emissions can be efficiently discharged according to the game results.

≪Third embodiment≫

Next, a third embodiment of the discharge mechanism of the present invention will be described.

Hereinafter, the third embodiment will be described, focusing on differences from the above-described first embodiment, and description of the same matters will be omitted. In addition, the same components as those of the above-described first embodiment will be described by assigning the same reference numerals.

The discharge mechanism 10B of this embodiment is configured so that the first operation part 12, the second operation part 13, and the extrusion mechanism 14 operate linearly. And each member is constructed according to this configuration. For example, the placement unit 121 of the first operation unit 12 and the arrangement unit 132 of the second operation unit 13 have a long shape. In this respect, the discharge mechanism 10B of the present embodiment is different from the discharge mechanism 10 of the first embodiment. In particular, the plurality of stockers 111 and the second extrusion part 145 are aligned in a straight line and installed on the first operation part 12. Additionally, a second operating unit 13 is installed along one side of the first operating unit 12. Additionally, a first extrusion unit 144 is installed on the other side of the first operating unit 12. Accordingly, the first extrusion unit 144 is operable (movable in parallel) adjacent to the first operation unit 12 and the second extrusion unit 145. The discharge mechanism 10B of this embodiment also has the same effect as the effect of the discharge mechanism 10 of the first embodiment.

≪Fourth Embodiment≫

Next, a fourth embodiment of the discharge mechanism of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

Figure 20 is a perspective view showing a discharge mechanism according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Figure 21 is a partially exploded perspective view showing the discharge mechanism according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Figure 22 is a partially exploded perspective view showing the stocker of the receiving portion provided in the discharge mechanism according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Figure 23 is a partially exploded perspective view of the first operation portion, the receiving portion, and the extrusion mechanism provided in the discharge mechanism according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the fourth embodiment will be described, focusing on differences from the above-described first embodiment, and description of the same matters will be omitted. In addition, the same and similar symbols are assigned to the same components as those in the first embodiment described above.

The discharge mechanism 10C of the present embodiment differs from the discharge mechanism 10 of the first embodiment mainly in the configuration of the receiving portion 11'. Additionally, the discharge mechanism 10C of the present embodiment differs from the discharge mechanism 10 of the first embodiment in that the discharge guide portion 15 has a cover portion 153 above the discharge candidate holding portion 131. Additionally, the discharge mechanism 10C of the present embodiment is different from the discharge mechanism 10 of the first embodiment in that it is provided with an operation button 19 installed on the pedestal portion 18. In addition, the discharge mechanism 10C of the present embodiment is similar to the first embodiment in that the detection unit 17 is provided with a fifth sensor 175 for detecting information on the number of discharged substances 100 contained in the stocker 111'. It is different from the discharge mechanism 10 of . Below, these differences will be explained in detail.

As shown in FIGS. 20, 21, and 23, each of the plurality of stockers 111' of the receiving portion 11', that is, the first to tenth stockers 111', is connected to the first operation portion 12. It is installed at a certain angle (for example, 45° to 80°) with respect to the upper surface of the placement unit 121. The above angle is the upper surface of the placement unit 121 and the side of the stocker 111' (main body 112') opposing the upper surface when the stocker 111' is installed on the first operating unit 12. It means the angle formed by . The stocker 111' installed in this way has a main body portion 112', a foot portion 113', and a clog-shaped portion 114.

The main body portion 112' differs from the first embodiment in the position of the notch portion 112A. That is, in a state where the stocker 111' is installed in the first operation part 12, the notch part 112A is provided on the outer surface (on the discharge candidate holding part 131 side) of the main body part 112'. A slit portion 113E is formed in the edge-shaped portion 1132 of the foot portion 113' to correspond to the position of the notch portion 112A (see Fig. 22). Accordingly, even when a plurality of stockers 111' are installed in an annular shape on the first operating part 12, the number of discharged substances 100 contained in each stocker 111' can be counted from the outside of the receiving part 11'. It can be easily checked. For example, by installing a fifth sensor 175, which will be described later, on the outer peripheral side of the receiving portion 11', information on the number of discharged materials 100 contained in each stocker 111' can be detected.

Additionally, the bottom plate portion 1133 of the first embodiment was formed to be inclined from the upper end of the front surface 1131a of the base portion 1131 toward the middle of the rear surface 1131a'. On the other hand, the bottom plate portion 1133' of the present embodiment is formed to form the bottom surface of the foot portion 113' along a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the stocker 111' without such inclination (see Fig. 22). Accordingly, the long skirt portion 1132a and the short skirt portion 1132a' of the border-shaped portion 1132 are omitted. In addition, between the edge-shaped portion 1132 and the bottom plate 1133', there is a gap 113B through which the first extrusion portion 144 can be inserted, and the discharge 100 extruded by the first extrusion portion 144 is inserted. A passable gap 113C is formed.

A clog-shaped portion 114 is connected to the underside of this foot portion 113'. The clog-shaped portion 114 holds the stocker 111' (body portion 112' and foot portion 113') at a certain angle (for example, It is configured to form an angle of 45°~80°). Through this configuration, with the stocker 111' installed on the first operating unit 12, the bottom plate 1133' is tilted at a predetermined inclination angle ( For example, the angle can be given as 10°~45°).

Since the discharge mechanism 10C of this embodiment also has a plurality of members having a corresponding inclined structure, it has the same effect as that of the discharge mechanism 10 of the first embodiment. Additionally, according to the discharge mechanism 10C of the present embodiment, the force applied to the bottom plate portion 1133' (and the discharge material 100 in contact with the bottom plate portion 1133') due to the weight of the discharge material 100 itself is reduced. Therefore, the bottom plate portion 1133' in a state supporting the discharged material 100 is inclined at a predetermined angle (for example, 10° to 45°) with respect to the upper surface of the placement portion 121 of the first operation portion 12. In addition, the discharged material 100 in contact with the bottom plate portion 1133' can be smoothly discharged to the discharge candidate holding portion 131.

In addition, in the discharge mechanism 10C of the present embodiment, the discharge guide portion 15 has a cover portion 153 above the discharge candidate holding portion 131. The cover portion 153 is formed to cover the upper and outer peripheral sides of the discharge candidate holding portion 131. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the discharged material 100 extruded from the holding plate 1311 of the discharge candidate holding portion 131 to the discharge guiding portion 15 from escaping into parts other than the discharge passage 152.

Additionally, the discharge mechanism 10C of this embodiment is provided with an operation button 19 provided on the pedestal portion 18. The operation button 19 is a button for automatically rotating the first operation unit 12 when replenishing the discharged material 100 into the receiving unit 11'. In order to be able to assign functions to exercise these functions, the operation button 19 has a first operation button 19a, a second operation button 19b, and a third operation button 19c. For example, the first operation button 19a can be assigned a function to rotate the first operation unit 12 clockwise. Additionally, the second operation button 19b can be assigned a function to rotate the first operation unit 12 counterclockwise. Additionally, the locking/unlocking functions of the first operation button 19a and the second operation button 19b can be assigned to the third operation button 19c. By manipulating (pushing) the operation button 19, the first operation unit 12 can be automatically rotated. Therefore, it becomes easier to replenish the discharged material 100 into the stocker 111' located inside the case 2. Additionally, the configuration of the operation button 19 is not limited to the configuration described above, and for example, the number of buttons may be one.

Additionally, in the discharge mechanism 10C of the present embodiment, the detection unit 17 is provided with a fifth sensor 175 for detecting information on the number of discharged objects 100 stored in the stocker 111. The fifth sensor 175 is configured to detect information on the number of pieces of discharged material 100 through the notch portion 112A of the main body portion 112' of the stocker 111'. Accordingly, the fifth sensor 175 can detect whether the number of discharges 100 contained in the stocker 111 is more than or less than a predetermined number. Accordingly, the timing of replenishment (replacement) of the discharged material 100 can be easily detected. In this embodiment, the fifth sensor 175 is installed in parallel with the gate portion 151, but the installation location or number is not limited to this.

Although the game device and discharge mechanism of the present invention have been described above based on preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited thereto. The configuration of each part can be modified or replaced by any configuration with the same function. Additionally, any other means or components may be added to the present invention. Additionally, the present invention can also combine any two or more configurations (features) of each of the above-described embodiments.

For example, the bottom plate portion of the receiving portion may be configured to be elastically urged by a spring member. In this case, depending on the number of discharged substances accommodated in the stocker of the receiving part, the bottom plate part may not be inclined at a predetermined angle. For this reason, a weight member can be installed on the upper part of the stocker. Additionally, the composition of each part is not particularly limited as long as it can properly perform its function. For example, each part can be formed of hard resin material, metal material, ceramic material, etc. Additionally, each motor can be defined as a driving part separately from the operating part.

The discharge mechanism of the present invention is configured to discharge discharge related to the game, and includes a receiving portion for receiving the discharge; A first operating unit installed in the receiving unit and configured to be operable; and a second operating portion that holds the discharged material from the receiving portion and is configured to be operable, wherein the first operating portion operates with respect to the second operating portion. Because of this, it is possible to provide a discharge mechanism capable of efficiently discharging waste according to the game results and a game device equipped with such discharge mechanism. Therefore, the present invention has industrial applicability.
